We have been here many times over the years. I say, go for the baked potato with truffles ... it is what dreams are made of! Three of us went here Wednesday night for a fantastic meal. We opted for a few appetizers and several sides to accompany our NY steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and very tasty. We received superb wine and wine service from Scott and his crew. We were very pleased. When my 5-year old asked for something special ... they accommodated her every wish. That is what very nice restaurants are made for! (B&B take a lesson here). Thank you Charlie Palmer and your amazing team for a great evening and an amazing meal. We will be back again and again.

I didn't realize that Westgate had just bought LVH. This was our first time staying here (call it the Westgate or the LVH) It's really hard to believe this is under new management.... Apparently we stayed on the 'renovated' 23rd floor, but I began to wonder as we walked down to our room, as the hallways were clearly old, smelly, with falling apart baseboards, and old wall paper..The room was not much better. I think it would better if I just enumerate the problems we encountered. 1. When checking in, the lady at the front desk asked us if we wanted a king bed, we said, 'yes.' She said that she upgraded our room for us. We said 'Thank you' (incidentally, it was the lady's last day, so we thought maybe that's why she upgraded us, or maybe that's what all hotels say in Vegas??) 2. We get to the room, which, yes was huge (hence 'upgraded") we look over to our 'king' size bed, to find that it was, in fact, a MURPHY BED in a double size. I would have called to complain but we literally had to run out the door as soon as we got there to pick up my parents from the airport. (Anyways, why would such a huge room need a Murphy bed??) 3. When it was finally time for bed, I pull down the sheets to find a stain... was it blood? was it rust? I didn't care. I can't sleep in a bed with stains. Especially not in Vegas! 4. When I called to have the sheets changed, it took housekeeping a full hour to come to our room, which was at 1am when they finally came. The housekeepers were actually quite nice. They went through three sets of sheets to find us one that didn't have stains on it. (and it was actually them who kept changing the sheets, not us requesting!) 5. The overall cleanliness of the room was terrible. Besides the sheet problem, there were stains on the lampshade on the desk. Their were stains on the carpet. There were stains on the wall. There were even two dirty handprints on the ceiling (!!???) The shower was disgusting, the tile floor had grime in the grout, I actually showered with my flip flops on. 6. One of the circuits blew in our room, taking out two lamps and the fridge and a few outlets. very odd. 7. The resort fee is $20 a day (it used to be $18 something when it was LVH, which they honored for us, since we booked our hotel when it was still LVH, which was nice) I don't really know what the resort fee is for, considering you can only have one device connected to the internet per day, and you have to renew that connection everyday. 8. We requested, as well as my parents, to get a room somewhat close to each other. They gave us each a room on the 23rd floor, on the COMPLETE OPPOSITE END of the floor... it was seriously a quarter mile walk in between our rooms! ridiculous. On top of that, the hallway STANK walking through it. I'm sorry, but this was not a pleasant stay for us. I don't like writing negative reviews, but I felt this was necessary. I really cannot foresee us ever staying here again.

They just finished a major renovation, which I'm totally digging since its much brighter and spacious feeling with a modern, cool kind of vibe. Its more what you'd expect from the trendy tea shops you see in Toronto. Great little lunch spot and it seems they've expanded their menu to include sandwiches and desserts from dufflet/homemade. The lunch special (around $8?) is a very good deal which includes a selection of foods and a bubble tea/loose leaf tea. My favorite flavors (I like my tea not as sweet so this is based on that) - Hong Kong (hot or cold, half-sweetened) - Matcha (not the icy swirl - too sweet, but the hot or cold reg is great full sweetness!) - Taro (hot or cold, def half-sweetened) The staff are very friendly and sweet. The owner is equally lovely. Seems they got rid of the merchandise displays with the new reno. Perhaps they are gonna bring back some later but right now I think they wanna focus on food/drinks. No more broken sofa, but they've got some cool bar stools in replace. I do believe they still have their games in a corner. They do have WiFi (just ask for the password!)

Myself and two friends came here on Friday night around 8:00 pm, were seated immediately then waited over an hour and a half after to receive our food. After being asked why our order was taking so long, our server replied "ya, I'd be mad too." Honestly enjoyed the atmosphere and the sushi and tempura was on point when it finally made it to our table. Unfortunate the service doesn't reflect the cuisine.
