Q: Went there with my wife. It was our first night in Vegas. We had a 1/2 off entree coupon from Tickets Now. We were seated within 10 minutes of arrival and greeted by server later saying he would be right with us. He didn't come back for about 15 minutes. In that time, we had to ask the water/bus boy for bottle of wine. He said "sure, why not.". Thanks to him, we could start enjoying our visit. We actually had fun showing him how to perform a "wine service." Waiter finally took out order. French Onion soup was ok- not enough broth. Flavor ok though. Strip steak was very average. Potatoes au gratin pretty good. Veal picatta was very good and came with roasted veggies and pasta. Veal was tender and had great caper sauce. Full price would have been very disappointing. Server was too busy or overwhelmed to even check on us. Don't go there with high expectations.

Q: We have been long time Babbo customers. Last evening, when in a different part of town we tried this location and left very disappointed. It was not a very busy night yet when we asked for plates when the bread was served, we didn't receive them until 15 minutes later, after we ate our bread. We also waited over 45 minutes for our meal and watched a table of 4 that came in 20 minutes after we did receive their food first. When we asked our waiter he said they got busy with to go orders. No apology and no offer to check on our order. When I finally asked the manager Logan about it he came back with our food. Literally placed it down and turned and walked away. No sorry for the wait, etc. After that no one check in on us. This place needs to bone up on their customer service skills. We are in the neighborhood often and we will not be returning.

Q: I finally got a seat at The Roosevelt! It's getting 4 stars from me mostly for walkability/location but easily 3.5 on its own merits. I walked in on Tuesday around 5:30 or 6ish and bellied up to the bar. They had 2 rotating taps and several local or popular favorites on tap and numerous available in bottles. So many great choices. I opted for the featured happy hour beer, on this night is was Sessions Black($3), I also decided to enjoy their happy hour snack ($4) offering of Havarti and Ham Pannini w/ Honey Mustard (hind sight 20/20 I should have said no mustard). The bread was quality and superbly toasted, with plenty of cheese and ham. It hit the spot. I would have loved to stay longer for another beer but had to run. I will surely be back.

Q: As a former Starbucks manager, I hold Starbucks stores to extemely high standards. I frequent SBUX a lot. By a lot, I mean more than the average Starbucks freak. With that said my input is based on what I know the founder of Starbucks wanted out of each store, and how close the store is to achieving that level of quality service. If any of the points below has an "N/A" next to it, that simply means I was not able to form an opinion based on our interactions. 1-Below Standards 2-Meets Standards 3-Outperforms Standards Store Review Avg Visits: Once/week Partner Friendliness: 3 Partners smiles, cheery, helped customers around me with issues unrelated to business, initiated conversation Partner Appearance: 2 A couple baristas had a lot of facial growth (unkempt) but still looked professional) Partner Knowledge: 2 Knew how to make my drink. Store Appearance (decor): 3 very stylish, progressive appearance Store Cleansliness: 2 chairs scattered througout store, some tables very worn. Store Comfort:1 The chairs are not comfortable at all. *Either 1 or 2 for this section. Its either right or wrong* Beverage Taste: 2 Iced Single Venty Hazelnut Breve Iced Coffee Beverage Consistency: 2 Never had funny tasting drinks Beverage Temperature: 2 Always ice cold or steamy hot. Beverage Preparation (I watch): 2 No health hazards, shortcuts, etc. Beverage Mistakes: 2 Never had a wrong drink made. Will I return?: YES I personally don't care for Starbucks food and do not believe that is what Starbucks is about. Therefore I do not review their food offerings.
