output: My boyfriend and I stumbled in here after getting lost in the maze of the Cosmopolitan hotel and finding out that it was 10pm and not many places were open (surprising since this is Vegas). It looked promising. We were expecting a little fancy schmancy for the meal, price-wise and portion-wise, but we were in for a shock. Extremely pricey for extrememely small protion sizes. I understand the whole tapas concept, but these tapas were barely enough for one person to share with himself, let alone TWO whole people. We ordered the scallop ceviche, which unbeknownst to us, was deconstructed. I believe it was a $16 plate consisting of 4 parboiled baby scallops, like a large bay scallop (think: size of a little bouncy ball you get in a quarter machine), each sitting on a half key lime, sprinkled with what looked like paprika on top. It tasted like a parboiled scallop sitting on top of a dry lime, sprinkled with something flavorless on top. I cringed as I ate each scallop, thinking this was SOOO not worth $4, even for Vegas, ESPECIALLY for Vegas. Next came carnitas tacos. 2 tiny street size tacos, which i will admit were very tasty, but again, very tiny, not filling at all. At this point we were dying. Then came the pork siu mai to save the day. I believe these were one of the cheaper menu items, but it had twice as much food as our first 3 plates combined. They were really tasty too, I could tell they were hand made. These little dumplings were our saviors, at least we could leave feeling like we ate something and not pass out from starvation on our way out the door. I expected a little more food, flavor, and decor to make up for the bill we were presented with. That said, I won't be coming back, and I wish I never came.

output: After years of seeing the commercials for Golden Corral, I was excited to hear that one was finally opening up in Las Vegas. Gone would be the days of contemplating a drive to Kingman AZ or Hesperia CA to dine at what looks like a really great place. Having now been twice within two weeks (against my better judgement), I can honeslty say I am let down. I remember going to a Golden Corral as a kid. It had the best baked potato bar around. I can remember my family being so upset when they went out of business in SoCal. This, however, is not the same Golden Corral I remember from back then. It is just your average every day run of the mill over priced buffett with chceap food. Not that it is all bad. The salad bar is solid and seemed mostly fresh. And the Ceasar dressing is on point. The hot food though, hit and miss really. The Bourbon Street chicken was perhaps my favorite dish of the night. The orange pork was alright as was the sesame chicken but neither were anything worth writing home about. The egg roll was small and chewy. The lo mein was made with the same noodles as the spaghetti. That kind of threw me off. Neither were the kind of noodles I think they strived to be. The meatloaf was smothered in ketchup the way my mom made it when I was a kid so that was nice. The green bean casserol was good if for no other reason than it was covered with fried onions which happen to be one of my favorite snacks. My dad and step-mom spent a few minutes discussing the sausage with bell pepper and onion trying to determie what kind of sausage it was. The sign said it was Italian sausage. If it takes two people immersed in conversation for five minutes and a third party to finally look at the sign to know for sure what it was, it was probably not the best representation of that food. On to dessert, the bread pudding was awesome the first time I went while the cobler was not worth more than two bites. The second visit had the bread pudding looking so horrible I just moved right past it and onto the pies. I got a slice of apple pie. The apple filling was fine but the crust was not good. It lacked flavor and the texture was dry and crumbly. Not flakey likea good pie crust should be. As for the chocolate fountain that seems to be like a signature of the chain, it seems very unsanitary. You have this recirculation of liquid chocolate that sees children coating more than their desserts. I saw hands going in there too. Furthermore, these desserts are taken out of the restaurant leading to food sticks, food and stickiness all over the parking lot. It was more sticky than a movie theatre floor. My dad has said he will not be back and I have to agree. In a town full of buffets, there are better quality options with better prices.

I'm not a sushi expert, but everything about this place is great. The setting, design, service, food. Everything is as it should be. Priced fair in my opinion. My favorite place in town.
