Problem: I was disappointed in Tryst Cafe. I went to check out what had taken the place of the former sushi restaurant Celcius which I frequented. I ordered the portabello burger and my husband ordered the bacon burger. Our drinks were swapped when they were delivered as were our meals (I noticed this also happening to other patrons). The portabello cap was about 1/4 the size of the bread so my sandwich was all bread, except for the nearly whole Roma tomato that had been placed in my sandwich. The flavor was so-so. My husband said his burger was flavorful enough, but the brioche bread was all wrong and was soggy and falling apart from the burger sauce and juices. The fries were good as were the sweet potato tots. My husband had troubles getting refills on his soda and we went without seeing our waitress for what seemed a long time. I almost hoped another waitress would step in and ask how we were doing, but then I heard the other waitress hacking up a lung with a very bad cough. She should have been sent home, especially since she was coughing into her hand and then entering the kitchen area. Then one of the kitchen staff came out to the patio to take his break and was drinking a beer. I guess I'm a little conservative, but beer shouldn't be allowed on breaks. Our bill with tip was $27 and not worth a return visit. Tryst Cafe needs to properly train the wait staff or invest in some better help or they won't make it.

Problem: I'm a bit of a sushi snob, so when I heard that the Bellagio was finally getting into the game, I was definitely intrigued. Didn't get a chance to try it until now, and the results aren't impressive... The wait wasn't too bad; around 10 minutes for 5 on a Saturday night so a few members of our party decided to go play some blackjack while they waited. While they were gone, we were seated and placed our drink orders. A few moments after our entire party returned, yet neither the waitress nor the sake attendant could be bothered to acknowledge their arrival or take their drink orders. Pretty tacky... The service didn't get much better from there. Sake came quickly, but anything from the bar took way too long without any explanation. When we finally ordered our food, our waitress missed two of the items, most of our 2nd round of drinks and then checked in on us very infrequently. I suppose to her credit, she admitted her shortcomings and offered us a free dessert, but it would have been nicer had she just been on her game from the beginning. The food wasn't much better. Sushi was an embarrassment. Ordered a lobster roll; the lobster was alright, but the mango was nowhere to be found and the roll was simply too small to justify the price. The toro was nowhere near as delicious as toro should be and I'm not sure there was actually any wasabi on the nigiri. The hot food does deserve a little praise. The rock shrimp in a korean chili sauce was very tasty, although the sauce made the shrimp on the bottom of the bowl a bit soggy. The kobe tartar and kobe filet were the highlights of the meal, but again...way too small for nearly $40 a plate. I'm aware it's the Bellagio, so obviously things are going to be a bit higher then an off-strip place, but that's not an excuse to rip people off and you better have your execution down. This wasn't the case at all, so it deserves no more then two stars. If you're on this part of the strip looking for good sushi, I'd recommend Sushi Roku across the street at Caesars.

Problem: So lets just be clear here, I love Hole in the wall joints. Particularly Mexican hole in the wall joints. While I wouldn't actually categorize this place as hole in the wall, I noticed some of the reviews seemed concerned about that. I wouldn't be. This is like going to El Pollo Loco or Taco Bell. During my stay in Scottsdale I went twice. Once for breakfast, and once for Lunch. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with one small exception. I had a Bacon burrito with rice added (I highly recommend adding rice to breakfast burritos! its good). It was well wrapped, not too messy, plenty huge, and easy to eat in the car. The one complaint I had was the cheese. It was this bright neon orange gelatinous stuff. It just tasted oily and not very good. I also had the Super Nachos or Nachos supreme or whatever its called. Same problem, the cheese was just too greasy and oily. It didn't have much flavor. On the plus side, they pile on the sour cream, guacamole, and meat. It would have been nice to have some beans on the nachos too though. I would go back for a Breakfast burrito (sans the cheese), but thats about it.

Problem: I needed to fix a silver link on my wife's necklace. I found the store inYelp near my location. I walked in, they fixed it in 5 mins and I was out the door very pleased.
