Problem: I was excited to experience The Arrogant Butcher for the first time, however the experience was a negative one. We were sat and never greeted by a server. We sat for over 15 minutes while servers passed by, we were completely ignored. Finally we left without any service. We went around the corner to Squid Ink Sushi where we received great food and great service!

Problem: I could be a little spoiled, I do live in NYC, but no matter where I am, I expect a perfect blowout no matter what, especially if I'm being charged $75 for it. This was my second visit even after the epic blowout failure the first time. I thought if I changed stylists and upgraded to a higher priced one it would solve the problem. No, it didn't. They use exceptional products, Oribe, as does my salon in New York so I'm not sure why my hair didn't turn out the same. I informed the stylists, both times, that I have very coarse, dry, color treated hair but that I wanted it to be very straight with a slight curl on the end. I have this done twice a week at my salon at home perfectly, it isn't difficult. Or at least my stylist here makes it seem easy. Not only that, but my stylist got it right the first time she ever did it. The first stylist used a paddle brush on my hair. I would have normally been against that, but I had a stylist do my hair in Chicago with one beautifully so I thought it could be done. It can't, at least not at this salon. My hair that night started to frizz and become full of body, the exact thing I didn't want. It isn't like Las Vegas is humid so the only thing I could come up with is that she obviously didn't know how to do a proper blowout. I'd like to say that, in all the years I've been straightening my hair, I have never had these kinds of problems. Granted, once I find someone to do my hair, I stay with them. But even traveling I've never had this much trouble. I've had my hair done at the Bellagio and it was decadently beautiful. So, onto the SECOND try with this same salon. The more advanced stylist who charged an outrageous amount for a blowout, did my hair with a brush with an oblong barrel which I asked about. She assured me that the curl at the bottom would be the same as with a round barrel. It wasn't. Not even close. It looked horrible so I asked her to redo it. She chose a smaller brush with another oblong barrel. Again, same result. The problems really didn't start until a few hours later with both hairstyles. They began to frizz, my hair began to get more and more volume and eventually it felt unhealthy and dry and the curl didn't stay nor would my hair flatten anymore even when blowdried at home. Both times my hair was a disaster. Either the bar is low for stylists in Vegas and that's what makes people love this salon or, I have no clue. I pay half of what she charged me in NYC and my hair turns out perfectly every time. I will never spend another dime in this salon and I certainly wouldn't trust them with color, semi-permanent straightening or a cut if they can't get a blowout right. As as aside, I rarely write reviews (unless the service is really terrible or extraordinary), but with all the 5-star ratings (I'm honestly dumbfounded) I had to tell about my disappointing experiences. This place is not anywhere near the salon it's claimed to be -- not by a very long shot.

Problem: Meh is right. This place was a big yawn for me... I went with a group of 5 (well, 4 adults, one kiddo). This is another one of those places that tries to be fancy and pretty much sucks -- for the price and portion size anyway. We ordered beef stew, chorizo stuffed dates, halibut, cheeze sticks, chicken and white cheddar waffles, and some beers. First on the beers... They have Four Peaks 8th Street on tap (privately labeled as Tucks Ale or something like that) and I was happy to see this -- I love this beer. However, halfway into my meal my glass was dry and it sat that way for a good 10 minutes. If you've read any of my other yelps, you know I expect a refill promptly, especially if you expect me for forget your marginal service and mediocre food... When the waitress came around, she asked if I wanted another beer, I said yes. Another 10 minutes went by, me parched, growing annoyed... When she came around again it was clear she forgot all about me, then asked one of my friends if they wanted another beer -- I assertively said YES. She looked at me and proclaimed her sorrow, said it would be right up. Another 10 minutes go by, she swings by and apologizes that they had to change the keg. I understand that -- but between the FIRST and second time I asked, I watched the bartender pour another 4 or 5 8th Streets. But I didn't get one. As for the food? Super duper BLAND. Come on Tuck's! Fancy (read expensive) food should be an explosion of complex flavor in my mouth. If I have to put table salt and pepper on it just to taste something, you pretty much suck. If we pay $30+ per person and I leave hungry, you pretty much suck. The fried chicken was pretty good, but I've had the same quality stuff from the deli at Safeway. Overall, not impressed and see no reason to return. If you're taking a girl out on a first date who is more into atmosphere than food -- she'll probably think you are the man. But really, do you want a girl like that?
