A: When I saw the Nile cafe, I got a little giddy because I always imagined an adorable little cafe in one of those precious live/work units lining Roosevelt. (Tammie Coe doesn't count. No sitting room inside!) I stopped in for lunch today. Now, take this review with a grain of salt because I a) only ordered one thing and b) I got it to-go. There are 4 or 5 tables in the dining area, with not much breathing room in between. The server/cashier seemed tired and wasn't too friendly. He seemed annoyed that I asked for a take-out order. The menu is really limited, and strange. Not offering a traditional sampler plate with goodies like hummus, dolmas, and falafel gets them an immediate thumbs down. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich. At $7.95, I expected it to be a little more substantial. It was all chicken, and the chicken was pretty dry. There was quite a bit of nasty yellow lettuce that got picked off, but there were pickles and maybe a few tomato chunks in there somewhere. I think I tasted one. The pita bread was a little rubbery- like it was warmed in the microwave. No bueno. I know, I know, I shouldn't be whining about a chicken sandwich having too much chicken. Balance is important though, and this sandwich had nowhere near enough complementary flavors to make it a winner. Sub par sandwich aside, I will give the Nile cafe another try and edit accordingly. I don't feel like I gave it a fair shake with a sandwich to go.

A: Has anyone else been here since the remodel? It looks great and so much more modern! The lobby looks great and my room was very pleasant and comfortable - and what we got for the price was awesome. It's a little farther away from the strip, but it was just what we were looking for: a great place, helpful staff, good food, and a big casino with BINGO!! We had plenty to do there and didn't have to deal with the strip - but were still really close to it in case we wanted to go out there. One night we at at Oscars and in addition to having really tasty food, we also had a cool view of Fremont Street! I recommend people look into The Plaza - you won't be disappointed!

A: I know what you're thinking. Why a review on Safeway? Why, Lindsey!? Well, I'll tell you why. In fact, I will only talk about the reason I'm writing this review. This Safeway has a nut bar. I'm serious...a NUT BAR. I'm talking about a whole round island with rows of nuts -- almonds, walnuts, pecans, I think I saw some candied ones...all fresh nuts that you can purchase by the pound. That's just nuts right? This Safeway is definitely one step above any other Safeway in the area and between things like the nut bar and extensive deli, bakery and meat department...it's a Safeway I choose over all others if I'm in the area.

A:
Had the great time having the delightful latte here. The steamed milk was perfect, I did liked it when I had the first sip to it. This place could be better if they had good place and good service.
