Q: negative

A: Food is pretty good, but the customer service at this location is not anywhere near where it should be. I came to get a to-go order on 11/11. My cashier was Daisha, who didn't greet me at all, just stared at me when I walked to the counter. When I didn't say 'thank you' when she handed me the to-go order, she very condescendingly said "you're welcome". Will not be eating here again, even though the food is great.

Q: negative

A: I know alot of people seem to like this place,but you wont see me going there again.We had some friends in from Boston,and they wanted to eat somewhere that wasnt very fancy,so we picked Cheesecake factory.You should know that our groupd consisted of our 2 friends,my husband,my 4 yr old son and my 2 yr old son,and myslef who was 9 months preggers at the time. When we got there,it was extremely crowded,we gave them our name and they said 10 minutes tops.Well 40 minutes later we were finally seated.The waitress was nice but stuffed us in to a very small booth.She was slow bringing our drinks and our apps,and only refilled our drinks once. All of this could have been forgiven if the food was good.My husband and friend Tim ordered the steak both medium rare,what they got was a piece of meat smaller than the palm of my hand fully cooked.I ordered the Philly Cheese sandwhich,it had no flavor and tasted like it just came out of the microwave.Ive bought better at Wal-Mart.I ordered two kids chicken finger dinners for my boys but they only brought out 1 and when I told the waitress,she insisted that I only said one and that maybe the boys should share because the kitchen was really busy. I will never go to this restaurant again,bad service,horrible food,and not a good value at all.

A: My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Center Cut Steakhouse. New (open since March 2012) to the Vegas dining scene, Center Cut has to its advantage a young, creative, and very talented chef, Ian Delph, who has trained in Sonoma and Boston before taking the helm at Center Cut. Delph seeks out unique, organic, and fresh ingredients that will best compliment the prime cuts of meat featured on the menu. A few examples of this creativity include Scottish Salmon with a truffle sauce, pink mashed potatoes that are organically grown and are actually pink, and bib lettuce (that the table next to us ordered) that literally looked like art. Every dish was prepared with panache and flawless presentation. Both my husband and I were completely impressed with the presentation, and the flavors were literally "melt in your mouth." The food is nothing short of delicious, and ranks right up there with any of the top Vegas steak houses. In my opinion Center Cut is better because it's not a chain, and the chef gets to use his creative skills a lot more in a non-chain restaurant. We both had a caesar salad to start, and we agreed that it was one of the best caesar salads we'd had in a long time. Located inside the Flamingo, the theme is "old school Vegas" with a modern and contemporary twist. The Flamingo is one of the original Vegas casinos, and throughout your meal you are treated to still shots of life in Vegas, from the 1930's until now. These still photos are shown throughout the restaurant on multiple TV's and feature the likes of Sonny and Cher, Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Wayne Newton, Elvis... Very cool to watch, and a great compliment to the swanky, sexy feel of the steak house. Center Cut has a great wine list too, and we enjoyed our waiter, David, who went to culinary school and is currently training to be a master Sommelier. David recommended an excellent cab that paired perfectly with our meal, and the espresso I had along with the cheesecake was enough to tip me over the edge to give Center Cut 5 stars. Only drawbacks are that the restaurant is open to the bright casino area, and there are no restrooms inside (you have to walk to the lobby area of the casino for the nearest restroom). But the food, the service, and the overall experience are worthy of 5 stars. Center Cut (once discovered), I'm sure will rank among a handful of truly great steakhouses in Vegas. Right now it's still pretty easy to get a table here.

A:
Krispy Kreme is the best donut, by far. The donuts here at this location are not truly the Krispy Kreme experience, but at least adequete. I've been once, since I struggle with losing weight and things like donuts dont help. They were reluctant to serve me at the drive through because I was on my bike. I thought the general rule was do not serve non-motorized vehicles... and never pertained to motorcycles. Whatever, they served me anyway so no biggie. When I got the donut home (5 blocks) it was kinda hard and cool. I don't remember it being warm when I got it. I was pretty dissapointed. If you want the KK where you watch the donuts come out of the production line and then get a free one, you have to go to Mesa, otherwise they are being trucked in.
