A: I've been here a few times now and service has never been great but never bad until tonight. I step up to the bar and order a Guiness and was told their systems are down so it will be a few. Fine. I get my Guiness and listen to obnoxious people do a karaoke version of Cult of Personality and read the news on my phone. Time for beer number two and the systems are still down. No worries, I'm paying cash this whole time anyways. I give the lady my money and wait for my beer. A couple minutes go by, she pours drinks and explains to people that her systems are down. She's really befuddled as if she's never experienced life without a computer. Others walk up and order drinks and receive their beers promptly while mine hasn't been poured yet. After about 10 minutes I just say screw it and leave. I'm sure dealing with down systems is stressful but if I'm paying cash it should be a non-issue. Knowing that the others came up to the bar after me and were at the time running a card tab makes it even more confusing. This night aside, food is generally decent. The place lacks a pinball machine. Owner seems like a nice enough guy in the past. Note to someone: not having a computer is no reason for poor customer service. Also, perhaps having someone pitch in behind the bar would be a good idea so that the easily flustered bartender doesn't get so stressed out next time. I hope somone got to enjoy my beer or that the extra $4.25 went to buy some sort of stress relief for the bartender because that $4.25 didn't do a damn thing for me.

Q: negative

A: Went here around 5 p.m. on a Saturday. The wait was ridiculous...the employees kept asking for a party of 5 or 6. The line was not moving at all (where you have to wait in line AFTER you pay). Next thing you know, they are still asking for a party of 5 or 6. My husband & I made a party of 5 with other people who were waiting in line. This was dumb....the employees should have been saying, "we have a table for 5-6 people if you don't mind sitting together." We were starving & so were other people. The snow crab legs were nasty---didn't even get one or try it. All the other food looked like what ever...this only got 2 starts instead of 1 star, because I liked the "middle eastern" section. However, I went here thinking I was going to have some crab legs. Everything in the middle eastern section was pretty good: curry was delish, hummus was good, pieces of beef, lamb, & chicken were o.k. (some were good). The pieces of meat were a bit cold All the other sections just didn't look good. Dessert: lots of different flavored cupcakes---didn't know what to get. The one I tasted was just o.k. & had some kind of filling inside. *We went here with our buffet of buffet pass, but we will pass on this buffet next time. I rather to go the one at the Rio.....

Q: positive

A: Every weekend a group of us Mcgillers would take a break from studying (pffftt right) to go for brunch. We found a handful of favorites, but this was #1. The only downside to this place are the huge lines for weekend brunch. It's no secret how good this place is. Their eggs benedict dishes are the best to be found, anywhere. The chorizo is deadly as is the spinach and goat cheese. The potatoes, which are dripping with butter, garlic and rosemary are legendary. Artsy, hipster interior with fast service. This is one of the many things I miss about Montreal.

Q: positive

A:
I used to be a fan of dunkin donuts till I came across the Krispy Kreme outlet in Circus Circus, Las Vegas this Christmas. Since its Vegas, everything looked a little pricey, so I just went ahead and bought an original glazed, a chocolate iced glazed donut and a hot chocolate, though the price for a singe donut was a little high. Oh my God! they melted in my mouth.... I simply loved them both, original glazed and chocolate glazed...!!! It was real soft and sweet and tasted fresh. They served it quickly and there were a lot of varieties to select from. I wen't back the next day as well. I wish I had tasted Krispy Kreme donuts before!!! Sadly, Illinois has only 3 stores and kinda far from home. The packed ones you get from Walmart, Jewel osco etc don't taste as good as the fresh ones from the store, but I guess I'd have no choice left!
