Problem: Lastnight was the first time of going to this restaurant. It was recommended to me by a friend. My cousin was craving good Mediterranean food, so I was like why not. As we entered the restaurant was quaint and looked presentable. We stood by the hostess station for a few minutes, the lady in a white shirt noticed us but ignored us and continued to help the seated guests. Then finally a nice woman in a black shirt asked if we were helped and handed us a menu. After looking through the menu my cousin finally decided on what she wanted. So the woman in the black shirt took us to the cashier area to take our order. While she was taking our order, the lady in the white shirt (she wore glasses , on the hefty side, and have glasses) was so rude and didn't even say excuse me and told her to stop checking us out because she 'doesn't like for her customers to wait for a check'... In my head I was like what are we?? And then she was rude and pushed that girl to the side after she voided our order and the woman in black told her "she's ordering" and the lady in the white shirt was so rude and talked down to her and us and said "well she doesn't care. I think she doesn't care! What I say goes..." So from that comment I knew immediately she was either an owner or a manager. After that experience, the woman in the black shirt was nice and pulled us a chair. While we were sitting there all she did was whine and complain. My ears were literally hurting from her negative behavior. I have never experienced such verbal abuse to other employees and to waiting customers. I honestly think the woman in the white shirt was racist, only helped people that were blonde or looked Caucasian. She seemed to treat the people with background that is different of her own with such distaste. After that we got home and glad we didn't have to sit through being around her negative aura. I can't believe I gave them a 1 star but I did because there was no other option. The food was mediocre. Kudos to the women who wore black t-shirts and have to deal with the woman in the white shirt every time they work there.

Problem: The sushi we got from here was pretty good--probably my favorite sushi spot we've been to since moving to Charlotte. The rolls were fresh and tasty. The salad was ok-it was kind of watery and there wasn't enough dressing for it, but it was still good. There are a decent amount of options for sushi and noodle dishes.

Problem: we were excited to eat here and had a good time. we loved the energy of the dining room and that helped us get hyped up for the food. we decided to eat in downstairs area but was still able to try out a tasting menu. the nice part was that the kitchen was able to accommodate a veggie tasting menu for my wife. it's been a while since our dinner here so i don't remember the course by course breakdown but i do remember some specific dishes. she had a fuji apple salad that was nice, light and refreshing. she also had a pasta dish and a free-range chicken dish. each dish was large for a tasting menu but if you're hungry then it's to your advantage. the pasta dish was good from what we remember, unfortunately we don't remember the exact contents. the chicken dish had good flavor but was a bit dry. i remember having the clam chowder, the diver scallop and the halibut. the soup was spot on in texture and flavor. the scallop was perfect and the accompanying crispy noodles added nice texture. the halibut was tasty but a bit overcooked. i remember that we had a lot of desserts too. we got a tasting of fresh sorbets, the stand out being the pear. i also got the fat elvis which was a banana/peanut butter spring rolls. this was nice and decadent at the same time. we got to meet chef rick moonen too and he was just a pleasure to talk to. completely down to earth too. he was working the dining room and talking it up w/ everyone. great dining room, good food and good service. fine spot to hit up in vegas!

Problem: SCAM ARTISTS, plain and simple. The folks that run this place are cashing in on people who trust their white lab coats. Stay far away from here and Illini Dental, Creative Smiles, Dentistry by Design, Affordable Dentistry Today, Baytowne, and Hessel Park Dentistry - all owned and run by the same guy I went for a preventive cleaning - the hygienist goes through the normal routine, and then calls in an assistant. They both poke around and make concerned noises, and tell me that I REALLY need to get a deep-clean root planing. I have never heard of this. They call in the dentist, who says Absolutely, you have to have this done immediately or you're looking at a root canal within a year. I ask how much this will cost me, they say "Oh, only $1000 or so." They also try to sell me on veneers and a $300 bite guard because I grind my teeth. I say I can't afford any of that, so I am whisked straight from the chair, into a small office and onto the phone with Capitol One's Medical Loan people. They also still tried to sneak the veneers and bite guard onto my "treatment plan." Long story short, this VERY painful procedure was completely unnecessary, and they do it only to make money, since no insurance covers it. The wonderful dentist I see now says they've heard about CDG pulling this all the time, and it's just a matter of time until they get sued for it.
