Q: Cantina Laredo was not very good. I did feel that it was a little pricey as well. I went here with my boss to check out their banquet room and try some of their food for an upcoming vendor conference our company is having. The atmosphere is very nice and modern. The service was great. We ordered the botanas platter to share which came with tacos al pastor, chicken fajita quesadillas, chili con queso, Guacamole, stuffed jalapenos, and beef, shrimp and vegetable skewers. Nothing really wowed me though. The best thing on the platter was probably the stuffed jalapenos but you only got two and they were pretty small. The tacos were kinda dry and bland as were the quesadillas, and the skewers had only one shrimp and one tough piece of beef on them. I thought it was kinda a rip off. The queso was ok but tasted like your typical Velveeta cheese dip. In addition, we ordered a cup each of the sopa de tortilla. Trying to be fancy, the waiter arrived with two bowls of tortilla strips, chicken, and onions. Then he poured the thick soups table-side. Yippy. I really wasn't impressed. Table-side anything is just stupid and useless in my opinion. The soup really was not very good. Was a bit too pungent in flavor and smell. Almost tasted like a bowl of enchilada sauce. Needless to say, my boss and I didn't eat very much of it. Even the complimentary chips and salsa were not that great. The warm roasted poblano salsa was terrible I thought and the other salsa was mediocre. I had very high hopes for this restaurant and was disappointed immensely. On a positive note, they do have a great banquet room that can hold up to 50 people and it has LCD TVs and surround sound so its great for presentations and corporate events. Would I try it again? I am all about giving places second chances so I would go again and try ordering an actual meal. If it sucks again, I will conclude that this place is overpriced, crappy, and not worth anymore of my time. OPTIONS:

Q: Amazing! The lemon pepper wings and the honey bar-b-que have to be the best in my opinion and my favorite! The homemade blue cheese they make is to die for even though its expensive I still buy extra for my fries! Which by the way the fries are amazing here just make sure you get there before your order is done though' these fries seem to get cold super fast and aren't as enjoyable after reheating! But.. Then again most foods that were precooked prior to warming back up aren't very tasty! This location is almost always clean with fridbdly staff! OPTIONS:

Q: Wow...popped in here as I wanted to see what this place was all about! I would call it a serious Seafood Market with butcher shop and fresh fruit and Veg! They have pretty much everything you can think of for fresh and frozen seafood that you can get in Montreal. Props given for the excellent selection of fresh fish! I ended up getting some Raspberry point oysters and also some Matane shrimp. Both were very fresh and very tasty! Also impressed that they had some biological salmon (I guess not farm raised). As most of our E coast salmon is the terrible farm raised! They have a solid produce department with fresh fruit and veg with comparable prices to any other maxi, Super C or IGA. What I really liked however was their meat shop. I noticed that they had some nice thin cuts "Italian style" of veal plus chicken. Fantastic for doing a Milanese style fried cutlet or a cordon Bleu or Swiss or chicken with stuffing in the middle. Prices were very reasonable also! Most of the clientele is St Leo, St. Michel and a maybe some who drive from RDP. Great selection. Come for the Seafood or meat and pick up some other items! As Red Lobster says you man See-Food differently! OPTIONS:

Q: I came here with my mom for a quick lunch after we visited the Mint Museum in Uptown Charlotte and boy was it a nice surprise! Most the ingredients they use are local and are made on the premises. Their home made butter was amazing, especially the one infused with sweet potato! As far as the entrees, the portions definitely won't overwhelm you. Their lunch menu was one of the most creative ones I had ever seen! Salad with bacon, mustard caviar, with a side of blue cheese ice cream? Crepes stuffed with mushroom and goat cheese? Super inventive and delicious, and I wish I could have tried each entree. It simply was not an option to leave without getting dessert, so we decided on the "coffee and doughnuts" which were tiny beignets in raspberry sauce with a side of a thick, dense custard creme with espresso, orange, and chocolate flavors. I liked the creme more than I did the tiny beignets, although I wish they would have put more than 3 of those little doughnuts, as the portions are definitely discouraged sharing (Get Yo Own Beignets!) To top off the elegant fare, the lunch prices are reasonable for what you get (about $11 on average per entree) and the service was great. Our waitress did not hesitate to make recommendations and ask us for feedback since they are still a new restaurant. The decor on the inside paired excellently with their earthy theme as well, and the view from the patio had a nice view of Uptown Charlotte. If you are going to the mint or are looking for a dining experience I would definitely recommend a visit to Halcyon! OPTIONS:
