Q: Since I was younger my dad made it a point to take us to the Osterich Festival and I have enjoyed it every year! The beer isn't cheap or good, but the environment and company make it worth it!

A: positive

Q: Everything was delicious. Short rib sliders have a sweet root beer glaze that is incredible. Mac and Cheese was insane. But the real winner was the Glazed Donut bread pudding! On top of that the service was top notch. Our waiter was more like a friend serving you food at his house. Constantly checked on us, made jokes, and was always smiling. We sat next to the kitchen which got pretty live. Made for great conversation and a first look at all the good food they were serving to other customers. Everytime I'm in Vegas I will be hitting this spot

A: positive

Q: Mandarin Bar has the glamour of the old Vegas: WITHOUT slot machines, huge plastic novelty frozen margarita cups, it has a sense of greater intimacy, and a fab view. The ambience, decor and the cocktails - being made with fresh and more unusual ingredients - are worth the price tag. I had two different cucumber cocktails, and both were refreshing and delicious. Service was good too - friendly and unobtrusive - although we did have to ask twice for water. I would be giving 5 stars for overall experience but the food was not so great. pork belly was tough (but sauce was tasty) and the waffle fries were a bit soggy. perhaps chef was having an off-night. Everything else: A+.

A: positive

Q: This turned out to be an embarrassingly poor dining experience. After a 30 minute wait for a table and a prompt greeting by our waitress, everything quickly slid downhill. Our order took forever to make it to our table, and only one of our four meals was brought to our table as ordered. One burger was missing bacon and was sent back (kitchen error). One was the wrong item entirely and was sent back (waitress error). I had ordered a salad (pretty much the only vegetarian item available on the menu) and it took an extra 5 minutes to make it to the table, and at least another 5 to get salad dressing. My wife ended up eating about 15 minutes later when her chicken sandwich was finally served. The poor service might have been balanced by exceptional food quality, but that was not the case. The food was fine, but far from exceptional. My wife rated her chicken sandwich a 2 (out of 10) while my children's burgers did better at 6-7. My salad was good, but clearly not the reason one would go to this restaurant. Considering the wait and the poor service, the food was not good enough for us to return to this chain again. On the plus side, my son had a mocha shake that was very good. Considering the delays and mistakes, one would have expected the manager to at least comp the chicken sandwich that was delivered so late. And he did, but only after we called the manager over to our table and let him know that this was what we expected. Then we had to explain it to the cashier. Who had to call the manager over. Who needed to key it into the register. Twice because the cashier made a mistake keying in the amount tendered. Altogether a grueling experience. ADDENDUM: Credit to the management for getting in touch with me after reading my feedback. They seemed genuinely concerned about our negative experience and assured me that this was not typical, and that the issues that I raised would be addressed and corrected. Two points to Steak 'n Shake for good follow-thru!
