A: The view is awesome, service is great, and the food is fresh and good. The view, we were seated at the window and the view was great, we could see the old strip below and the lights of the Blvd to the west. that was the best part of this evening. The service was spot on, glasses were never empty, bread never ran out, orders were taken and food was out quick. Food it was very good, large amount of food full of flavor, we were all happy and full. We will be back for sure

Q: positive

A: God I'd give them a 5 if they weren't so ungodly expensive. I'm a student and 2+ dollars for a cup of coffee is just too high. Also why is an iced americano $.50 more than a hot one? $3.30? GAH! I really wish I could afford it but I can't. Paradiso makes great stuff. Great Americanos, great lattes (even with latte art, woohoo! who knew it existed in Champaign-Urbana?), etc. Their environment is also great. It's absolutely what a coffee house should be, laid back and busting with culture. I don't know what else to say. They're great, but too expensive. I'm going to go broke if I pay for that everyday! I have to pay for rent and food and things!

Q: negative

A: This store has gone downhill gradually over the last year. The associates are extremely distant and spend more time talking to each other while people are in line waiting to order. I stood in line staring at a Starbucks associate for up to 5 minutes while she stood talking very loudly about something that had nothing to do with work. The store was also very dirty. There was milk and sugar all over the condiment station and trash was spilling over. The cleanliness may have been isolated but every associate's lack of care for customers is what really keeps me from coming back. I used to stop by this location every day but now it's about twice a year. I choose to give my business to the Caribou located feet away. The Caribou associates KNOW how to treat customers. The Caribou associates call me by my name promptly, they remembered my usual order on the THIRD VISIT, and are able to laugh and have fun with the Caribou customers while providing stellar service. Things HAVE to change for me to return to Starbucks otherwise I will continue to visit Caribou where I am treated like a valued customer EVERY time I walk into their store.

Q: negative

A:
The part of old Vegas that needs to die. This is the only spot we went to in this town that has a metal detector. That alone should have warned me off. The surrounding area is down and out. It seems dangerous even in the daytime. The interior looks like it hasn't been updated since Dean Martin hung out there. The wait staff puts in a good effort, but it feels like their spirits are broken. We ordered cocktails with ginger ale only to find that the soda was flat. We left before things got any worse. If you're in this area, you're better off going to Lady Silvia's (assuming you can find it.)
