I go to this location a lot because my friend Javi is a huge fan of this place. He's obsessed with their food and drinks but I simply think they are just okay. Sushi is one of my favorite foods and I've honestly had stuff better that popped in my mouth from Fry's grocery store. At Ra it's just kind of boring and plain and their drinks are often strong. I like strong cause it saves on money but not so strong I can barely drink it. Plus there is way too many college students for my taste. Drunken morons crawl around the place, loud and annoying. I guess if I was still 21 that would be great and in fact when I was 21 it was. But being older I'm just not into that seen and I try to get my friends to travel to other Ra locations if they really want to eat their food.

As a fair skinned freckled girl, I know what I'm getting into anytime I do a spray tan, whether it's a booth or airbrush. I have to say that this is one of the better experiences that I've had. The lady that sprayed me (can't remember her name, but I think she is the owner) was very helpful both with scheduling and with helping me to feel comfortable while standing naked in front of her! She explained everything really well and I felt like she really knew what she was doing. Everyone else that was waiting in the waiting room also raved about this place! When all was said and done though, it wasn't the best looking tan. I asked for a light tan and while I think she used the lightest mixture available, it was still shockingly dark for the first 2-3 days. I wouldn't say that there were any streaks, but there were some spots on my calves where the solution seeped into my pores more and made that part of my leg look darker (I deleted a star for that reason because I think she over-sprayed that area a bit). I had done everything I could before hand to make sure this didn't happen-lots of exfoliating, no oils, no moisturizers, etc. etc. I am giving 4 stars because it was a good experience at the salon, but I also think anyone with a fair complexion needs to take caution... don't blame it on the company or the person that sprayed me...I think she did her job really well. I just think there really are no great tanning options for someone with fair skin and sadly this place wasn't an exception to that rule.

I sometimes wonder if this Supercuts is where they send their weak links--like getting bumped down to AAA from the big leagues. Were it not a 5-minute walk from my house, I'm sure I'd have given up on the place. It's not that this is a bad place to get your hair cut...no, actually, it is that. It's not a *terrible* place to get your hair cut, just merely bad. Their haircuts are not so egregiously awful that they provoke anger...just never really what you asked for. Your wait isn't hours-long...just longer than they always tell you over the phone. Folks are polite here, at least, sort of.

The five course set menu started off with an amuse bouche that consisted of a boiled quail egg and smoked salmon topped off with some caviar. This bite was accompanied with a small cup of corn bisque with slivered almonds. It was an excellent start to whet the palate. The bisque was perfect and the almonds provided a nice crunchy contrast to the smooth texture of the bisque. As for the rest of the meal, it was pretty good. First course was the Maine Lobster Salad with Apple-Champagne Vinaigrette. The salad had huge pieces of lobster meat and it was accompanied with tiny four tiny balls that were made of different melons and avocado. The pink peppercorns sprinkled about the dish also provided a nice sweet explosion of taste. Excellent! Second course was the Pan Seared Nantucket Scallop with Potato Mousseline and Jus de Veau. The scallop was the most perfectly cooked scallop I've ever had. It was just the right texture without being too rubbery in the middle and perfectly seared on the outside. However, couple people complained about some gritty sand in the last few bites. The potato chip provided a cool umbrella-like decoration but was nothing special otherwise. Excellent! Third course was the Sauted Foie Gras with Rhubarb and Crushed Roasted Walnuts. I actually thought this was a really nice dish because the liver was very nice and buttery and tasted almost like a super tender cut of steak (I've never had foie gras). But I guess the girls thought the livery and fatty taste was just too much. The rhubarb provided a nice sweet, sour, and bitter taste and I loved the walnuts that added a nutty component to the dish. Excellent! The fourth course was Roasted Aged Lamb Loin with some type of bean. This was kind of disappointing for a main dish. It was nothing special and the loin was a little bit chewy. The other main dish was halibut, which was also just decent. I didn't like how the loin sat in a soupy pool of beans. Average. The fifth and last course was a bunch of desserts that we all kind of shared. I got the Walnut Tart with Brled Bananas, which was also just average. The other chocolate desserts were too dense and rich. Average. The dinner ended with some small pieces of candies and chocolates which were nice. The service was also pretty good except one time when I left to use the restroom, they took my napkin, but didn't replace it. The meal was $156 a person for the five course set meal, which was overpriced compared to other fine dining restaurants I've had for that quality of food, but I guess it's Vegas so it's expected and everything is inflated. As we left, they gave us these nice boxes that had butterfly cookies inside, which was also pretty cool. All in all, a nice experience, but not the best fine dining restaurant per value I've been to.
