A: The thing I like about NobHill Tavern is its late-nite happy hour menu. I'm one of those people who like to eat late: I don't usually get off work til after 10pm, and by then almost all the restaurants on the Strip have closed for the night. Mostly, your choices at that hour are coffee shops, which are fine, but... what if you want to nosh on something a little swankier? NobHill Tavern is a stylish little spot with a late nite happy hour menu from 10-midnight, with drink specials and appetizers/small plates for just $8 apiece. The apps include comfort food selections with a fancy Michael Mina twist, like lobster rolls, pork sliders, spare ribs and beer-battered shrimp. It's good late-night, stick-to-your-tibs-type fare that's great for either soaking up all those cocktails you just guzzled at regular happy hour, or for laying down a good base for all the cocktails you're ABOUT to drink at the nightclub. I also really like the ambiance here: the lounge area (which serves the happy hour menu) is retro-swanky, with textured glass booths and a real Mad-Men vibe. It's the perfect place to have a drink or three and some old-school cocktails: retro favorites like the Moscow Mule and the Sidecar are on the happy hour menu, and make the perfect accompaniment to those sliders and lobster rolls. In fact, if you're into the whole Mad Men vibe, I recommend starting out with drinks over at the fabulously retro West Wing Bar, then heading down the hallway to NobHill for more drinks and apps. The one thing I wish they had at NobHill (and West Wing Bar, too, for that matter) is a little jazz trio or something playing in the lounge. I'm a big fan of hanging out in lounges to booze & talk, but it seems like most lounges in Vegas these days are so LOUD that you can't carry on a conversation. A little jazz would be just the thing to complement the swanky vibe at NobHill and make it an even better place to hang out in the later half of the evening, while you either wind down or get revved up for the night ahead. P.S. I have also had occasion to try NobHill's Kobe burger, which is not on the happy hour menu...but is freaking DELICIOUS and also highly recommended!

A: Hula is one of those spots I frequent after i've been binge eating junk food. It's literally impossible not to feel healthy here - from the quirky patio furniture to the tea towels on the walls and astroturf at the front, you basically lose three pounds just walking in the door* (*results may vary). I frequent this place most when i'm feeling a wee bit homesick. It's a little snippet of my yoga crazy, green juice chugging, home town tucked away in the Grassmarket. Like most brilliant health conscious places - they make you feel good about eating cream cheese. I'm serious, you will feel like a million bucks for choosing that smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. Is it the healthiest thing on the menu? Heck no. But you're also having a peppermint tea and a green juice, so that cancels out any harm caused by your full fat dairy indulgence: science. This theory works with most of their menu. Delicious, healthy options with a heck ton of cheese - often melted. God bless you Hula. Don't get me wrong, if you want to go the true blue health route, it has you covered as well. From heart healthy salads to house made soup - you can find a decent meal here with or without cheese cheating. Bonus points for gluten free options. It also boasts the best juice selection i've found thus far in Edinburgh and *drum roll please* - they carry green juice! Add a scoop of frozen yogurt and have a double lunch! Hula will continue to be my go-to when I want to feel hip, healthy and/or need a quirky spot to host a lunch meeting. My only complaint? I wish they had better wifi. This gal needs to internet gush 24/7.

Answer: For the record, I don't give out two stars often. I'm not a "ranter" by nature. However, I feel it is my duty to warn the public that this place sucks. First of all, try calling to get an appointment and you'll see that the average hold time is over 6 minutes -- they answer, then put you on hold. Second, once you get in for an appointment, assuming you are early or on time, you are waiting in the outside waiting room for a minimum of 20-30 minutes past your appointment time, and then they bring you into the inner sanctum to wait another 15-20 minutes. I'm not basing this experience on one visit; I am sharing with you the average time I've waited over the course of the last three years. Why the heck do I stay? Because, thankfully (knock on wood), I'm seldom sick, and the place ifsclose to where I live. But after the last experience, which spurred this review, I'm saying ENOUGH - right, like the bad J-Lo movie - ENOUGH! We have choices in this world and this should not be one of yours.

Output: As one writer wrote, the furniture is uncomfortable; picnic style no backs. My husband and I had the lamb and mint pasty and the "Oggie." Both were dry, heavy on potatoes. The beef in the Oggie was tough and tasteless. The cole slaw was merely shredded cabbage with mayonnaise. No tang or crunch. Looked intriguing, but if you are there for the food and not the bar scene, it isn't much.

output: Small bar / eatery, family owned. Cash only. Really nice people. Doing something different with their menu. Had a flat iron steak special that looked good, but we honestly never made it past the appetizer menu. Was going to get a steak sandwich which the people next to me at the bar were eating, but we ended up with the rice poppers - risotto with finely minced jalapeno then fried. Even the ranch that it's served with works. Cheesy, crispy, creamy goodness, hits all the right notes. I think it demands pancetta or bacon, but then everything does. The bacon wrapped pretzel log with cheese was just OK for me, but my brother liked it. The mustard it was served with wasn't overpowering, which is often a problem. Finally, stuffed banana (frying) peppers with tomato sauce. A great ground beef with cheese another layer of gooey mozzarella and some parmesan on top, broiled and covered in a nice light tomato sauce. Really excellent. Sounds strange, but with the exception of the pretzel, reminded me of the kind of food I got in Rome at bars there. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

A lot of people I know consider Vegas a true desert when it comes to finding outstanding food. Food that blows you away and makes you want to come back to Vegas just for a particular restaurant. They say it's glitz and glamour, expensive and flashy, and food takes a backseat. No where else is this more true than STK. It's a great looking restaurant. It's hip with loud music and good looking servers and bartenders. You're definitely not at a loss for eye candy with the patrons. Actually not a bad place for the fellas to have a group dinner if they want to drop some coin on a place where food isn't the emphasis. Unfortunately I was here dining alone on business and food was my only friend. I don't think I need to go in to detail because I've personally never cared for detailed reviews of mediocre food. I will say this.... at some level a place like this does have to get certain things right.. I mean, people do have taste buds and people do come here. So as long as food isn't the emphasis and there's some other reason pulling you here: another person chose it, you want to oogle at hot bartenders, you like dining in a club atmosphere, you can probably get outa here satisfied. Just know whatever you order isn't going to be on any of your bests lists.
