Problem: Valentine's day dinner and so thankful they didn't do a lame pre-fix menu for the "holiday". The reviews were pretty much solid and really helped with what to order. I honestly had my mind made up before I went into the place :) Started with a couple of champagne cocktails at the bar before going upstairs to the main dining area which were great. Then the hostess let us through the elevator door while she shot up the stairs to meet us as soon as our doors opened. We were seated by the wall across from the elevator entrance. While this wasn't the best area...this place isn't really that big so I couldn't be picky for such a busy evening. It turns out it wasn't a big deal since there were that many people coming after us since our reservation was at 8:30. Might be a little annoying during peak hours. Staff was great. Everyone from the bartenders downstairs to the hostess to the sommelier and servers. All top notch. Appetizers: Pan-seared foie gras, caramelized apple, five-spice creme anglaise, port wine reduction: This was simply incredible. The apples and creme really gave it a great mix of flavor. I could've had this as an entree!! This dish will be the biggest reason I come back. Bison carpaccio: I thought this was just ok. There would be no way to tell that this was bison vs cow but the presentation was unique and tasted great with the truffle and watercress. On a side note...I REALLY wanted the escargot but my wife isn't that big a fan. I also questioned whether 3 appetizers for 2 people seemed excessive. Entrees: I had to go with the lamb since so many of the Yelpers said it was the best lamb they'd ever had. Awesome dish. I went with medium rare but I think I should've opted for medium. The cous cous that sucked up all the lamb juice and side of squash were great companions to the lamb itself. My wife went with her usual filet mignon. Pretty good but its hard to justify the price with so many great steak places in LV. If Carnevino's filet is a 10..this was a 7 at best. Thank god we ordered the chocolate/strawberry souffle in advance. Otherwise we probably would've been too stuffed to order it after the entrees. So worth it!! I also liked the cigar lounge. Comfy chairs with a fireplace really set a nice mood. Perfect place to finish off your bottle of wine after dinner. Overall a solid v-day dinner!

Problem: Great place, I love enchiladas and this place makes them great. It has a Chipotle or Subway like setup of choice what you want. Service is great and timely. Also great options to, including vegetarian like spinach and mushroom or smash potato.

Problem: This restaurant is right near my office and it is delicious. We have always gone at lunch. I highly recommend their chicken fingers and their cinnamon roll waffle. The staff is super attentive and very nice and the chef even sent out some things for us to try on the house! The only reason why i give it 4 stars is that i wish they had a more extensive menu. It's kind of limited. But everything I have eaten there has been great. Also the decor is really nice and subdued.

Problem: I was at an event where they brought in Sprinkles cupcakes. So I can't write about the experience of going into the store. But I do know a good cupcake when I taste one and the one I had was not good. It was a chocolate cake and I think a white frosting with chocolate sprinkles. The cake was very dry. So much so that it was difficult to eat because it crumbled every time I took a bite. Also the frosting left a funny aftertaste in my mouth. I know it's possible that it was just an off batch, but for my cupcake fix I'll continue to support the local Scottsdale Bakery and Cupcake Company for now.
