A: Had the 6 course meal. Interesting concept. No menu, just a list of what you DON'T want. Everything else is open season. The concept is great but I was hoping for more of an Iron Chef experience. I came away feeling that they really only make a few dishes each night and you're going to get one of those regardless of how "adventurous" you are on the list. Example, GF said she didn't like soft cheese (i know.. insane right?), guess what her first course had on it? I'm new in town and was happy to see the creativity. But the execution could have been better. Wine pairings were great. Meal was about $200 before tip for 6 courses for 2 people with one wine pairing.

A: we were at grimaldi's pizza next door, and the past two times i went to grimaldi's, nielsen's was closed. it was just my luck that when we went on friday afternoon for lunch that i saved room for dessert! when you walk in, there are old signs and memorabilia covering all of the walls. they have 3 flavors of frozen custard made everyday. chocolate, vanilla and their flavor of the day. that day their flavor of the day was butter pecan. the guy behind the counter was very nice and offered tasters. the butter pecan was pretty good but too sweet for me, but i personally dont like pecan pies and thats what it reminded me of. everyone else liked it though and got a scoop. you can get the frozen custard in a cup or cone, or as a cement which is like a blizzard, and i think a milk shake or sundae. they have a bunch of different toppings you can also get. the bf and i split a scoop of vanilla with oreo topping. the frozen custard was just like a mcdonalds ice cream but way more firm. i liked that it was super firm because it still kept shape until we finished eating it. i really liked this place from the frozen custard to the decor!

A: This recently opened restaurant is located in the space formerly occupied by Little Buddah. The room is now more open and brighter than in the past. A spicy cabbage salad was delivered to our table while we reviewed the menu. We started off with shrimp spring rolls that were light and tasty. For entrees we chose sole filets in a fresh black bean sauce plus the chef's special chili chicken. There was an exceptionally long delay between courses so our waitress brought us a second dish of cabbage salad and eventually comped us desserts. The chicken dish was a crunchy delight though not nearly as spicy as one would believe given the quantity of red chili on the plate. The sole was tender and equally delicious. Prices are moderate for a casino restaurant and entrees are generously portioned. Our individual cheesecakes, though hardly Asian, almost brought one senior to tears. On entering I had secured a grand opening card from the hostess that was good for 25% off menu prices through October 15th.

A:
Ordered several of the dishes for dinner. Despite my communication hiccups with the wait staff the dishes that try brought out were phenomenal. If you like spicy food then get the fried rice cake with chili. The Mongolian beef was sweet but pretty good. All the other dishes were authentic but keep in mind the portions are large so order like you would family style
