Q: Tasty coffee, excellent almond croissant...and they open at 6 am, so it helps for travelers on east coast-time. The location in the Aria is pretty impressive, Bellagio location is tame compared. OPTIONS:

Q: As a first time visit to Montreal, poutine was at the top of our list to try. We checked out Poutineville for THE place for good poutine. There was a long line that led outside to the sidewalk, but it went by quick. We got the Sampler of 2 poutines: crushed potatoes + wine sauce, & sweet potatoes + pepper sauce, both w/ cheese curds. Also got The Montrealer: smoked meat, mushrooms, swiss cheese, poutine sauce, & fried pickle to top it. I love that it was drenched in gravy. Both greasy, cheesy, and delicious. Generous portion too. They also have free wifi! How could you go wrong? You also the option to customize your own poutine which is pretty cool. OPTIONS:

Q: We have been frequenting Riazzi's for years - even when they were on Van Buren many moons ago. The Eggplant Parmigiana & gnocchi - always the same, (2 of our favorite dishes), salads fresh & love the touch of the added beet. The service has always been great & the restaurant is clean & old school. Great long time Mom & Pop business that we will continue to dine at. OPTIONS:

Q: In my opinion, Planet Hollywood ("PH"), at least in Las Vegas, gives off all the signs of a dying restaurant. My wife and I visited Planet Hollywood in Caesar's Palace several times in the 90's. The food was fair, but the atmosphere was cool enough to make up for it. They had really cool move artifacts, like Darth Vador's costume. The vibe was also energetic. It actually felt like stepping into something from Hollywood. The food wasn't too expensive, maybe $8-10 a plate, and the portions were generous enough that you left satisfied - if not blown away. On our recent trip to Vegas, we decided to give it a try again. Now with two young children, we thought this might be a fun experience for them. We learned that the location had changed and made our way to the new restaurant. When I saw it, I should have turned the other way. The new decor was an attempt to be cool, without pulling it off. Kind of like a geeky school kid wearing what he thinks is the latest fashion. PH no longer had the dark vibe, but instead looked like it was designed by IKEA with red chairs and a modern look. In addition, the movie artifacts were meager and not interesting. For example, they have a dress form some movie that no one cares about. The only cool thing that I recall was a model of the Starship Enterprise. Well, maybe the food would make up for it. My wife and I ordered expensive entree salads. My children ordered something off of the children's menu. The children's menu was overpriced and about the quality of McDonald's food. Both of my children left hungry. The salads tasted fairly good, but the portions were ridiculously small. Sorry PH, you can't make yourself a top quality restaurant by simply reducing your portion sizes. That is the first sign of a crappy restaurant in my opinion. They think they can give you practically nothing to eat and pretend that they are upscale. I don't mind that at the right restaurant, with best-in-the-country chefs, but PH is far from that. Instead, PH serves food about the quality of Chilies' and can't pull of the small portion sizes. At least somewhere like Chilies' makes up for food quality by giving you enough food to leave full. So, in the end, I had a fairly good tasting salad, which was too small to satisfy, and too expensive to ever motivate me to come back. We spent over $60 for two adult meals, two children's meals, and no drinks or appetizers. The worst part, and the reason I think the place shows signs of eminent closure was the stupid post card fraud. They show up at your table, when you just want to be left alone and ask if they can take the families picture for a "complamentry postcard." Then, after you have finished and want to get out of the place, they show up with the postcard. The postcard is the size of a postcard, but the photograph has been reduced to the size of a postage stamp. Then, they pull out some fancier versions and try to sell them to you for ridiculous prices. Oh yah, I want to spend $25 to commemorate my lousy dinner at your restaurant. No thanks. And of course, they don't take the first no as a no and keep pushing. I almost lost my cool with them at that point. I gathered the family and got out of there. A good restaurant could survive on selling good food, not photographs I wouldn't recommend PH to anyone. OPTIONS:
