Q: Underwhelming. The french onion soup could have had a deeper flavor, it was borderline bland. They cook it with a puff pastry on top. The puff pastry was slightly underdone and was slimy. The cheese on top that was cooked to a crisp was very good though. There were 2 pieces of foie gras in it, both of which were decent, although the flavor diluted. The octopus salad was the worst octopus I've had. It was dry and tasteless. I sent it back and received the agnolotti. This was significantly better, but the pasta was a little thick. The mushrooms were very good. The seared foie gras was very good. I liked the huckleberry but wasn't a fan of the samosa or carrot puree. My friend's cod was very bland, while my other friend's branzino was cooked very well and flavored nicely. There are better dining options in Vegas, and I definitely won't be back.

Q: There is something so nostalgic about taking the train, especially in Canada where so much of our history is bound up with the expansion of railway ties and the possibilities these tracks opened up across our huge spaces. In Montreal the Gare Central is a gorgeous, cavernous, partially underground space that is surprising to the first time visitor. You can access it from the Banque Nationale entrance on Rene-Levesque but this is not clearly indicated until you are already through the front door. Taxis come in through the entrance on De La Gauchetiere, and pedestrians can come in that way as well but it's a bit chaotic with all the cars and cabs. Once inside, the space is so lofty and enormous it's hard to imagine how it all fits under the stately old Queen Elizabeth hotel and bank tower. There is a fairly large food court that connects to the other underground malls and includes a nice mix of smaller cafes and larger chains (the obligatory Tim Hortons, and the slightly unexpected Bureau En Gros.) The large central area where passengers line up to board their trains is all brass and marble and neo-classical art like a good train station should be, and feels like a healthy mix of old timey travel and modern convenience. The real standout of the whole experience is the train staff. Everyone from the people at the ticket counters to the porters and conductors are friendly, bilingual, professional, chivalrous and dapper in their trim hats and flapping trench coats. The food on the train is maybe one small notch above most plane food, but the seats and aisles are much more spacious and the view of rolling farmlands, lakes and small towns is good for the heart, I'm sure of it.

Q: Went here 08/1/2013 place was shut down by the county and the notice said "Imminent Hazard". it appears they had refrigeration issues but still chose to stay open. Think about that. Sushi with out proper refrigeration? (Vomits). Never again, if you come here after knowing this you deserve a stomach virus. They obviously don't care.
