A: Back in the day this was a french restaurant with whom I shared a backyard. Back in the day i didn't have the kind of disposable income to visit said restaurant. Now times have changed; I moved out, the french resto moved out and in comes Pub Sir Joseph. Now this isn't exactly your traditional pub like in Corry or East Enders but i am not a Pom/Limey so I could care less. Before my foray at Pub Sir Joseph, I was at La Cuvee nearby sipping lots of dark porter and scotch ales'. First thing i noticed was a Scotch Ale and I jumped at the offer. My friends tried their cocktails but I will reserve that for a later evening and perhaps another review. Food came in form of the Sir Burger and fries (shaped in amazing potato wedges.....) The burger was great, being a sloppy sandwich/burger/wrap/etc eater myself, the burger manifested itself into a sloppy joe soon! Raph our server is pretty cool and took care of us (yes i do read my bills and not just the cost) and if he is reading this, amazon.ca ;-)

A: Okay people listen to me! As you can see some of these reviews are okay and some are very bad. Let me first mention this in my review; Anyone who comes here because Eva Longoria is the owner is out of their mind. You wouldn't know good acting let alone good food if it sat on your face! People...she is not a cook! She is an actress (word used lightly)! My wife and I were at Beso at 8PM on Saturday night. Marky Mark was our waiter (yes he looked just like him which thrilled my wife) and although he was a nice guy he belonged behind the bar at an Outback Steakhouse. Just not very professional and in over his head with a higher end menu. I ordered the Foie Gras as an app. For those of you who have never experienced enlarged/fatten duck liver, I would strongly suggest giving it a try. This in my opinion was good, but would probably have been better with a different approach. It had apricots and vanilla sauce. I wasn't sure if it was a dessert or an appetizer? The highlight of the meal was what followed. I had the pleasure of eating the tortilla soup. Now,tortilla soup for me is the one thing I will try at almost any restaurant I am eating at. It is my favorite soup by far. This in my opinion was the best I have every eaten. It was very simple but had a nice mix of heat along with a suttle savoriness that I can't describe. It was without a doubt AWESOME! For the main course I selected the bone-in Strip steak. Ordered medium-rare and it came out medium-well! Seriously? Mistakes happen I know, but to be TWO temperatures off just shows a lack of experience and attention to detail. The flavor was okay, but I could tell the steak was not dry or wet aged at all. Just a regular cut of meat with basic seasoning. The Bearnaise sauce is what saved it for me. Now for the second part that ties right along with this. I ordered the horseradish mashed potatoes as my side dish. Literally had unmashed lumps of potatoes everywhere and so much horseradish that it made me think I was eating shrimp cocktail at St.Elmos (if you don't know what this is, look it up). Just not properly mashed? Cmon guys...even the chain restaurants get this step right. For dessert, my wife wanted to try Churros! MISTAKE! The caramel sauce on the side was very good even though it was ice cold. The churros had potential, but maybe the chef should change the oil every couple of weeks. It was just dirty and you could tell the oil was old. All in all, they are way in over their head at this place. Very expensive and with all the choices in Las Vegas I would avoid this place at all cost. Paying over $225 for an overcooked steak at avg service is not my thing!

A: This review is for the Casino only. Came here late night for some cheap gamblings. It is in a great location right on the corner so the access was easy. The smoke smell is strong and the servers slow. I realize it's cheap gambling, but O'Sheas is way better! There is a poker room and on a Saturday night had 3 tables going, with a minimum $40 to $200 buy in. The other tables were packed and there is even a section of tables where there are go-go dancers dancing for you (they are horrible by the way). This place also features electronic Craps. You make your bets on a screen, but there are real dice with real rollers, a great way to learn. Drais after hours club is also here, so once that gets going, the line for the club stretches into the casino and makes it even more crowded in that area. In a pinch, it gets the job done.

A:
Meh. We ate there last year because we were staying at the Luxor. It was our pre-wedding day meal. We visited this year out of nostalgia, and we regret every cent spent. The front hostess stand is awkward as all get-out. Do you really want to seat us? Doesn't seem like it. Our waitress was OK. He hated his shrimp fried rice but had loved it a year ago. What changed? Don't know. We wound up giving it to a bum on Fremont. I had chicken and noodles...it was OK. Nothing to write home about. Definitely not worth $18.
