Problem: Places like this make me wish I was a cow. Aside from the royalty checks I'd get for the Chik-fil-A promotion, the best part would be having more than one stomach! More stomachs equals more food in my belly, duh! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte, and I always bring out-of-towners to this location. On this special day, they ran a buffet-style offering instead of their award-winning brunch on Sundays. The thought of buffet usually makes me cringe because the quality and quantity of food usually amounts to a lackluster meal in my opinion. But like Ankiel on opening day, Georges knocked it out of the ballpark! Confession: I didn't actually watch the first MLB game of the season--seriously, the Astros? The buffet was not your run-of-the-mill buffet. It had a wide spread of selections with enough French influence that made it special. I was hoping to take pictures, but let's face it, who can wait to take pictures when the food looks that good. Chef Dodd and the rest of the kitchen did a phenomenal job of preparing everything. Omelettes, quiche with caramelized onions, shrimp cocktail, prime rib and the rest was a great way to celebrate Easter. Everything they offered didn't have the buffet-quality food I had expected. Shrimps looked vibrant and held firm, mixed fruits was bursting with flavor akin to the Starburst commercials, and the grilled chicken was succulent. This restaurant continues to uphold the fine standard of French cuisine, and the creativity the restaurant offers will persist in making this place one of my favorites. Who do I talk to about getting more holidays put on the calendar so Georges will run more special events? dmo out

Problem: This is inside The Southpointe Hotel & Casino. We sat at the bar and got excellent service. I ordered the Seafood Diavola... sauteed shrimp,scallops,lobster over linguine in a spicy tomato sauce....sooooo good! The portion was enough for two people. The Fish-n-Chips was Beer Battered Halibut and was delish, we watched them poor the beer from the tap into the batter. Definite MUST TRY !

Problem: First off, let me say, this is the real deal. I love Henry's Taiwan in Tempe, and when I heard about this opening up in Mesa by my home, I couldn't have been more excited. The food is great, the service is great, the atmosphere is great! If you have been to the one he owns in Tempe, the menu is a bit different, but has over 200 different items. This location is a bit more upscale than the other one, but still very casual and fun. If you're new to Taiwanese food, I must note (Just as John's wonderful review did) that it's much different than Chinese food, but certainly not in a way where your taste buds will not be pleased. The owner will make a great recommendation based on your preference if you're feeling unsure about what to get. Tonight was my first experience with this location. The food was absolutely delicious and the chef they hired is excellent. The owner could be the nicest man I have ever met in my 30 some-odd years. He provides great service, cares about what he does and has great staff working for him that all seem genuinely happy to be working there. I wish them nothing but success!

Problem: I think I tried almost every buffet in Vegas. First of all, I typically am not a fan of buffet. Scooping up average bulk fare that's been sitting in a bin forever is not my idea of good food. But since buffet are popular and easier choice when you're with large groups, I find myself in them every once in a while. Having been to other buffets, this one is at average at best. There was nothing great or delicious. I just cannot see myself coming back unless they make some improvements on the dishes.
