Q: in one word, GHETTO came to my mind as I walked the casino floor. I've never stayed here, but I've always have been enticed by the cheap prices on Vegas.com, but I'm glad I scouted the place. I'd rather stay at LVH up the block.

Q: De passage prolonge a Montreal, et domicilie a l'hotel proche de YUL, je cherchais du couscous. Je suis tombe sur ce restaurant a Saint-Laurent, dans un quartier tres ethnique ou on trouve des restos de beaucoup de nationalites, surtout moyen-orient et Afrique. Une devanture discrete et un local tout en profondeur - le decor a vu des meilleurs jours - certainement beaucoup de jours. Attention, ce n'est pas un endroit chic! Mais le diner etait impeccable! J'etais seul, donc je ne peux juger que de 2 plats: la soupe harira et le couscous. La harira etait bien parfumee, avec du boeuf, lentilles et pois chiches - tres bonne. Quant au couscous merguez pour moins de $10, il etait prepare par le chef au comptoir et porte a table dans une assiette profonde avec tout ce qu'il faut - voir la photo. Du bouillon et harissa a cote. Tout cela et le the a la menthe pour moins de $15 TTC! Une bonne adresse.

Q: Despite being told by our waitress that The Penguin had NOT changed hands, one taste of the food proved otherwise. The fries that used to be batter dipped and fried to perfection were greasy and tasted of rank oil. A table of five people couldn't manage to stomach one side order of them. The pimento cheese and fried pickles on my Pimp Dog were ice cold. I expected gooey melting cheese and fresh out of the deep fryer pickles...the "chef" had other ideas. My son had the tempura fried hot dog, he peeled the batter off because it was not good. The coleslaw was not good. This was the first time I had taken my husband and daughter and they both said they would not eat there again. The menu is different than it used to be also. They no longer have the sides listed on the menu, the server tells you what is available that day. They had their disgusting fries, potato salad, and coleslaw when we were there. Want onion rings? You can get them, but not as a side..not even as an "upgrade". They will charge you over 5 bucks for a basket of the salt less, over fried things. The only thing that was actually good was the Penguin sauce. We were the only customers in the place, so I wouldn't think that expecting hot, freshly prepared food was too much to ask or expect. The other times I have been there the food has been amazing and worth the drive, but it is obvious that something has gone horribly wrong over at The Penguin. Sad to say, but considering the bad food and the high prices they expect you to pay I probably won't be going back anytime soon.
