I must say, that after Eddie Chans left, I had a large, gaping hole in my heart. In hopes that another Asian restaurant would take its place, I was initially disappointed to see another "pizza" place go in... (you know, with ZPizza in the SAME shopping center). But, I really did love the feel of this place, and I came hungry, which was a plus. We ordered the drunk bread appetizer, which, in my personal opinion, was the best thing I ate. Wine, cheese, and bread... if it had chocolate somewhere, it would be a fusion of all my greatest loves. We also ordered the beef carpaccio. This dish left much to be desired. I am not afraid of carpaccio.... give it to me nice and raw.... their carpaccio was well seasoned, but, in my opinion, was a bit overcooked. I had the veggie pizza, and it was very good. Veggies were flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the pizza was good. Good, not GREAT (I am partial to Sauce). Dessert was the berry calzone and I was blown away. Big enough to share, and not too sweet, with nutella instead of chocolate. I loved it. I am however, bummed that I just had a glass of wine here, now reading other reviews about their stellar cocktails. My favorite thing was the feel of this place. I love Postino Wine Bar in Phoenix, but its such a hike, and Local really has that feel. Very neighborhood, great bar, good apps. Service is really good, too. They aren't all over you, and I came with people who I don't often see, so we chat a lot, and he didn't make us feel rushed, which was really nice. I recommend it, especially if you are a local in Grayhawk or Desert Ridge.

This place is cheap for a Vegas buffet, but unfortunately I thinks about all it has going for it. I went for lunch, which I believe was $18 or $19. Salad choices were generic, as were the two soups. The pasta looked like it was dried out from the heat, the meat choice, especially the carved meat, was gristly and over-cooked. The loaded au gratin potatoes were probably the highlight of the trip. The Chinese food and fried food they had were nothing special and were very greasy. There was a lot of dessert choices, many of which were dried out and flavorless. Pass on this and take the money to a place like the new Caesar's buffet.

To be fair, I haven't yet experienced the entertainment here. I have, however, experienced elements of the service, which is what I'm basing this review on. We planned one night of our Vegas trip around Drink & Drag --it looked like so much fun! I checked the website and event calendar in advance to make sure we understood what to expect, where to park, what the theme for the evening was, etc. As suggested on the site, I submitted my name and contact info to be added to the guest list for our chosen night. I even ended up emailing them with an additional question about the theme (when I do a drag club, I do it right). I received no response, but thought nothing of it since many businesses don't always check their inbox. We came all the way to Neonopolis from the strip, excited for an evening of drinks, queens, and bowling...to find the place entirely dark and closed up! There was a note on the door saying they were temporarily closed. BUMMER. I get it. Shit happens. If something forces you to close for a few nights, so be it. However, it seems like good business sense to update the website to reflect a closure, OR email those who have eagerly signed up for that evening's guest list that there has been a change. I had been on the website that same afternoon, and according to the calendar we were good to go for Hawaiian themed hula hooping and limbo contests. Had I been aware the place would be closed, we could have saved ourselves the hefty cab fare and hit up a different drag scene. I hope to return to this place some day and have a great time, but in the future I would definitely CALL first to inquire about the hours, not trust the seemingly unmanned website. Anyone traveling a distance to Fremont for a little D&D may want to do the same.

I walked in just as they were closing after driving an hour there. A man came up to me and said they had closed but when I explained to him that I just needed to walk through and knew exactly what to pick out but all I needed was the order number for my installer he said "come on in" very nicely. He pointed me to a woman behind a counter (who I assume is the one not answering the calls when I had called earlier on my way to find out what time they closed.....it just rang and rang). She looked at me with a blank stare and said "we are closed". I explained that the man let me in...yada yada yada. She looked at him and said "you help her then" and he politely said "I can't I am with a customer" then the two of them began to bicker which made me feel very uncomfortable. Then, he came up to me and handed me a hard hat and piece of paper and quickly gave me instructions on how to get the information I needed. I walked in and headed right where I needed to be. About 2 mins later another woman came up to me and said "miss...do you know we are closed?" to which I explained again and she was rude on that she seemed annoyed and wouldn't look at me and briskly walked away. I then saw the slab I wanted and asked her a question about it (she was nearby) and she was being very passive aggressive with me and once again recommended I just go ahead and an appointment. I got so frustrated I simply said "no thank you" and walked out. I was too much trouble and they were rude about it. Bottom line. It looked as the product is great but being a business owner myself with someone ready to spend several thousands of dollars on your product it was very disheartening to be treated so unprofessionally.
