An example of an positive review: I had never had Pho before and I had parked in this lot to go get a mani/pedi. But I also needed to get some protein in my system. This place was right in front. I saw that it had a "Best of Vegas" banner and after I walked in I realized that my friend suggested this spot to me before. I went for a rare steak and brisket Pho. My honey went for a three meat Pho. We also ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken, which was my favorite item of the night and by far the best sweet & sour I've ever had. Back to Pho. I like soup. I like noodle in my soup. I didn't like one of the greens they used. It had a light minty taste, but wasn't mint. Whatever it was (I think they also brought it out on the side for us to add into our soups), it distracted me in a bad way. The leaves look like basil, but definitely aren't basil. Anyway, if it wasn't for that, I think I would have become a bigger fan of Pho than I currently am. The meat was alright. Tasted too bland. But again, this was my first Pho experience. I guess this is how Pho works and I may not be a fan. I don't have to love everything I eat and everything that others love, right? Their service was extremely fast. Five minutes after we placed our order, the Pho was out. Wow.

An example of an negative review: Let me begin by saying I brought this on myself. I was hungry, really really hungry, and yes I went for a chain restaurant. Further more, order poorly, like really really poorly. I blame my actions on fatigue, and pray you don't judge me. Came here today for lunch at 3pm. Was seated in their lovely patio. Started off with guacamole, it was fine. When it came to our lunches my friend asked if he could have a pizza half pepperoni half BBQ chicken. We were told you can't do half pizzas when they have different sauces. What? He explained he didn't care if the topping ventured onto the wrong sauce (BBQ/tomato) and the kitchen refused. Then came my brilliant order of the Hawaiian poke stack. At this time, an alarm should have sounded in my brain "Rachel! It's ahi tuna! It's raw! It takes skill and quality to create a sublime product and your at a chain!". Instead my tummy prevailed, and what I got was a stringy, chewy, tough, pile of butchered fish. Lesson learned, when hungry and if you wind up at a chain, pause, think, then order. I do want to mention the staff is great and this in no way reflects on them.

An example of an positive review: Hubby and I had been excited a few weeks ago when it looked like the large restaurant space that had been closed forever in the corner of the Arizona Center near the Cold Stone and UNO was being occupied. It happened that when we went to the AMC this afternoon it was open, so we decided to check it out afterward. The atmosphere was very inviting. They have lots of normal looking outdoor seating with heat lamps hanging above and then a very cool patio lounge area with boxy sofas and coffee tables, perfect for cocktails and appetizers. Inside, the decor was sparse but warm, lots of tans and brick, trac lighting, and an acoustic paneled ceiling. The lighting was not obnoxiously dim as in some other trendy spots (what are they trying to hide, I always wonder), and there was a TV, but it was projected onto three large smoky glass divider panels and so could be viewed from the bar and from the dining room (but there, it was backwards). The music was at just the right level and ranged from R&B to Euro Pop. 1130 has a lot of steaks (choose your own cut and then from 5 prep methods), seafood items, and pasta. I am not a wine gal, so someone else will have to tell you if the selection is any good. They also had a short menu of specialty martinis and cocktails, and local (8th St) and import beer on tap. We were seated and quickly given filtered water from a clear glass wine bottle which was left on the table after our glasses were filled- a nice touch. I chose the Seafood & Steak Skewer ($19) which our very nice waiter Randy said was his favorite. He did warn me that the salmon tended to come out "medium" in the middle (I guess he'd had a complaint from some lady). When I got the plate, the presentation was nice, with the skewers on a bed of rice (they said it was pilaf, but they must have been joking), with green beans (perfectly cooked and seasoned), a delicious fruit salsa, and a piece of warm toasty bread spread with honey butter and then topped with melted co-jack (yummo). The seafood skewer was mushroom, zucchini, red bell pepper, shrimp, and salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked and will be my next entree here. It's hard to find good seafood in AZ let alone people who don't kill it twice by cooking it far too long. The tenderloin chunks were also cooked a perfect medium-rare as I had requested, but were a bit under-seasoned. Hubby had the Pasta Rustica ($14)- penne with grilled chicken (kind of tough), spicy Italian sausage chunks (very tasty) and a delicious marinara sauce. It was a huge portion, more than he could eat. The only thing that just was not very good was the so-called pilaf. It tasted like poorly cooked white rice to me. The dessert menu is limited to 4 items: cheesecake (but since I make the world's best, we just don't bother when dining out), strawberry shortcake for two, key lime and mango pie, and the s'more. So we got the s'more because we were curious- it arrived in a ramekin, and was essentially a dark chocolate cake, left kind of fudgy in the middle, with graham cracker crumbs on the bottom (although the cake really absorbs the flavor and texture), and toasted marshmallows on top. It was delicious, but so rich and chocolaty that I found myself desperate for milk. We shared one, but we couldn't finish it. Our server told us that the owner and developer is the same as Sam's Cafe's. Apparently the location of 1130 had already housed more than one restaurant that had gone under pretty quickly, but that under this guy's management, 1130 could avoid that fate. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the service since they have only been open for two weeks. New restaurants so often are an organizational and staffing mess for the first few months, but apparently 1300 has avoided this. We certainly hope 1130 does well. It's nice to have a great new restaurant in the Arizona Center (to which we go regularly for the movies). Four and a half stars.

An example of an positive review: Wonderful place for a staycation (or any *cation for that matter). Service from the moment you enter the resort is five stars (yes, that's before your toe actually touches outside of your car.) I've been to several resorts and this staff holds first place for gracious service. Very quiet, peaceful, relaxing. Buildings fit with the surrounding land. Pools weren't overcrowded. Multiple options to eat and shop were available. Iced water with differing fruits were always available. Stunning views. Got to play checkers and chess as we cooled off in the lodge. Room was large and cool. Not brand new, but very well kept, clean, and upgraded. The bed was very comfortable. Bathroom large. Free Wifi. I look forward to visiting again.
