Q: Came here for dinner with my wife and daughter and was pretty pleased with everything, especially given that I am pretty fussy when it comes to Italian food. The service was more than accommodating and the interior was a real surprise, definitely feeling a little more upscale than most Italian restaurants in strip malls. The bar set up was pretty cool too and good to grab something to eat and watch a game and have a drink. We ordered the calzone, they have family size portions and after splitting this between my wife and myself, we still had a little to take home! It was actually one of the best calzones I have had in a while, had plenty of ingredients and the dough was tasty. My wife's family had owned a pizza restaurant for years and she loved it! Given the food, service, ambience and price, we will definitely be back. OPTIONS:

Q: Horrible service...and quite a dump considering the outside looked nice. And, the loud country music was NOT a plus either. A friend met us there and was there about 15 minutes before us and wasn't even acknowledged as she sat there alone. We were all extremely disappointed as they did NOT HONOR our groupon for wine tasting/cheese plate! We had called that morning and was told that no reservations were needed (I could see why after walking in...it was dead on Saturday night...maybe 8 people in the entire place). So, we show up and the waitress (a complete dingbat!) had no clue and said she had to ask the (LAZY) kitchen if "they had what was required". REALLY?!?How hard is it to open a couple bottles of wine and cut up some cheese?? The waitress came back and said that "since we didn't have reservations, they didn't have what was needed". SERIOUSLY?!? WOW! So, naturally, we asked to see the manager and he/she was conveniently "running errand" (this was at 8:30 at night). So, PLEASE do NOT go to this place. This place shouldn't be allowed to be open if they are going to hire such idiots!!! OPTIONS:

Q: Not sure what the pre-show audience interaction was supposed to be. There were some performers running around the theater looking menacing, but you would be ignored and forgotten if you sit near the front half of the theater. The show itself was spectacular, and a very good introduction to Cirque du Soleil. It has a very clear storyline to follow easily, not too big a stage so you can mostly focus your eyes on one thing and not have to worry about missing out on the rest of the performance. The effects were great, and I think the sound was amplified since we sat right in front of the speakers. This is a relatively small theater, so don't limit yourself to the expensive front row seats. Another advantage for seating towards the back is you can actually see the performers jumping down from the side stages, instead of craning your neck up and getting a view of their lovely behinds because you sat in the premiere seating. The only downer is that they don't allow any photography inside the theater. Something about the performers were watching on the side stage or something, and we have plenty of opportunity to take pictures after the show. I for one, was busy trying to avoid the people eagerly filing out of the theater after the show to take any pictures. Such a bummer. OPTIONS:

Q: On Sundays they serve brunch until around 4, I think. Their brunch menu is a little limited compared to their regular menu, but still offers some great dishes. This is far from fine-dining, so don't come here expecting to be blown away by the creativity or presentation of the food. What it does offer, however, is bar/diner food kicked up a notch. Donuts: I guess for brunch they start you off w/ donuts instead of pretzel bread. I can't complain because the donuts were great. Mini burgers: 4 big sliders. The meat was tender and delicious and the bread was heavily buttered and chewy. The side order of parmesan shoestring fries was really good -- crispy and addictive. Patty melt: What a great sandwich! Lots of flavor with the truffled mayo, mushrooms, and brie. The bread was amazing. It's a big sandwich also. I could only finish half of it. Pork egg rolls: It came with 4 pieces of egg rolls deep-fried and topped w/ some slaw. The pork wasn't very tender and it was a little too spicy for me but still a decent dish. As other reviews have mentioned, the space is cool and trendy and provides a good view of Treasure Island and the north part of the strip. OPTIONS:
