A: Though I'm not especially sad about leaving Vegas for the Bay Area (seriously, no competition whatsoever), I do get a bit choked up when I ponder the loss that I've suffered in no longer having an East Coast Pizza nearby. It was simply the closest thing to NYC pizza (of the Famous Ray's ilk) that I've had outside Manhattan. If that's your thing, I highly advise a visit.

A: Be sure to make reservations in advance! And don't confuse it with the Joel Robushon restaurant next door either. The prices differ drastically! 4.5 stars. Why the missing half star? I'll get to that later. Bread basket was yummy. I had to seriously control myself from getting full off the delicious croissants. Seasonal tasting menu = amazing. Be prepared for a 2+ hour dinner. Fairly small plates but you will be FULL after finishing all 11 courses. Highlights: foie gras parfait, hamachi, foie gras, and quail. Loved the order in which each dish was served. These courses will make you foie gras-LOVER. Uni Pasta - The pasta was cooked perfectly. Chewy in the middle. Uni was fresh. Only downside was the sauce. It was extremely salty which came as a bit if a shock, but I'm sure it was a mistake? Everything else was seasoned perfectly is why this threw me off. Half star off for that. Decor is beautiful. It's a fairly small restaurant with a glossy black/red interior with an open kitchen. Parties of one or two will most likely be seated on the counter - which I love! You get a front row seat view of beautiful culinary creations being made.

A: Yea this place is kinda a tourist trap. So here's this huge two/three floor restaurant/bar that people can come and hang out with parrotheads and drink cheap tequila margaritas. Yes they carry the brand of their very own Margaritaville tequila. Good marketing concept. But tequila drinkers know that tequila should not be infused with sweet artificial flavors of coconuts, lime, oranges, etc....This place invites the smell and sounds of the islands. Ok the ghetto part. Where the stale beer lingers and the smell of sweat and suntan lotion lingers. As far as the food is concerned ok you gotta think typical bar/restaurant tropical cliche.... Uhm who has crab cakes? Ohhhh how original. "Yea the crabcakes are soooo goooood" bleh bleh Wings - got wings? Ohhh yea wow..wings..... What about coconut shrimp...? OH YEA THE COCONUT SHRIMP! Wow Fantastic...yea...... Well I had apps and they really weren't bad....because they were like costco brand. Maybe I'm just not impressed anymore and I need something more original? Maybe it's just overpriced and I'm bitter because the tequila is not that high quality and I need something with uhmph!

A:
I ordered my pizza but instead of telling me that all their drivers had gone home they transferred my order to a place that doesn't deliver to my area. I literally live 4 intersections away. I waited the time for the pizza, the other branch made the pizza, and both of us lost service. Great job douche canoes.
