Sentiment analysis: 5 stars for the food 0 for the service!!!! (and if there was anything below 0, that would be it!) I saw the famous Scarpetta spaghetti on Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" and since that episode, I have been obsessed with going to Scarpetta. So excited that one opened up in Beverly Hills last October! However, I've been too busy to make the drive out there. I was in Vegas for 1 night on April 1st and while wandering around The Cosmpolitan Hotel, saw Scarpetta! Super excited! Made reservations for 8PM. Arrived on time and was seated promptly. Then waited, waited and waited! Really, 10 minutes before our waitress even came by our table (and empty seats all around us at this time)! Mind you, we had a 10PM show so I kept looking at the time... She took our drink order then returned 15 minutes later with our drinks!!! So almost 8:30 and have not even placed our order. She says she'll be "right back" and another 10 minutes.... Ahh, if it weren't for that spaghetti, we would have walked out! So 35 minutes after we arrived, she takes our order. Spaghetti for me and braised short ribs of beef for my husband. OMG.. our food arrived at out table at 9:30! Ate fast (because we had tickets to a show at 10). BTW, the food was amazing!!!! Had to ask another waiter to find our waitress so we can get the check. She came back to our table at 9:50 (without the check of course) and I explained again we had a 10PM show (which we ended up being late for) and needed to get out of there! So the food was as good as I thought it woud be but the service (or lack of) ruined my first Scarpetta experience :(

Sentiment analysis: Tried this place in September a few days after the grand opening. Three words: Oysters. Oysters. Oysters! If I can count each oyster as a dollar-- I definitely got my money's worth from eating here! I've been to the Cesar's buffet back when it was on the Buffet of Buffet deal a while ago. Now that they remodeled it, it certainly is a treat. The food stations are very well organized and have a lot of offerings from American, Seafood, Asian (Chinese/Japanese), Mexican, Sliced Meats anc cheeses, Soups, Salads, and basically everything else. I like how everything was presented modernly (similar to the Wicked Spoon). The only thing I couldn't dig was the huge ass dinner line that stretched for at least a mile and three quarters. Similar to waiting for your favorite ride at Disney land, it definitely built up my expectations (and my hunger) as my friends and I were waiting in it. More recently, my dad was telling me how the Bellagio buffet was around $25 back in the day and how he thought that was expensive... My oh my how things have changed...

Sentiment analysis: Jebus! IHOP no, no this is not an IHOP it's a place where scumbags and druggies hang. I love ihop, but this is a location that you would think would keep clean, have friendly staff BUT let me stress the clean part because this place was far from it. There was some very suspect people in the booth at the other corner of the place that well, can anyone say drug deal???? many people who visit Vegas tent to stick to the "pretty" places, but i like to venture out and see what a place is really like... Vegas is a city on the grow, and thats why this kinda crap needs to be cut short..wanna deal go home deal from ya house. As for the location this is just south of the strat and on the same side, its right near a tattoo parlor which if you want to get a bit of ink and wanna sit in the window on show while they do it, thats the place to go. IHOP! NO JUST PLAIN HOP PASS THIS PLACE! DON'T GO THERE!
