A: I hate having to do negative reviews, but there's no way to sugar-coat it: our recent visit to Grandview Saloon was just bad. We came on a Saturday night, after calling and being told that although tables inside were all reserved for the night, there would be seating in the bar and outside 'first-come first-served.' So, willing to wait a bit for one of these famous-view tables, we went up and were fortunately able to immediately get a seat at one of the tables in the bar area. No view of the city from there, but there was a good view of the Buccos game on the big TV, so we were happy with that. Our waitress brought our drinks right away, and she took our order shortly after. We were off to a good start, but things started to look a little dismal when the mushroom soup that we ordered hadn't shown up after about twenty minutes. We had decided to split a bowl of the soup, an appetizer, and an entree, and then each ordered our own side salads. (There was nothing on the menu to indicate you couldn't share an entree, nor was there an additional plate fee for doing so.) Finally, after 45 minutes, our appetizer arrived. We got the jalapeno crab dip, which was really good, and came with lightly fried pita triangles. The dip was served still hot, so we figured that the kitchen was just backed up. At this point, we noticed that our waitress was not only waiting on her tables, she was making the drink orders for all of her own tables, in addition to the drinks for those of some of the other waitstaff. My best guess is that she was normally a bartender who got assigned to wait tables when another server called off, but never once did she say anything to indicate that they were short-staffed, or even say, "Sorry for the delay, your food is coming out soon." Finally, after twenty more minutes, our food arrived. As in, ALL OF IT arrived at once. The soup, our side salads, and our 'entree' were brought to the table at once. The soup was already at room temperature, and for a thick soup like a cream of mushroom, it has to be hot to not overwhelm you with the weight of it. We each had a few bites and that was it. We had ordered the grilled scallops entree, and at $26, I had expected more than 5 scallops and half a plate of French fries. (The menu said 'roasted potato wedges,' but what actually arrived were the equivalent of the seasoned fries from the old Rally's restaurant - don't get me wrong, they were mighty tasty, but for 'roasted potato wedges' they were not what I expected). We were just upset at this. We really wanted to enjoy our dinner and take in the sights from Mt. Washington, but poor service and food quality just prevented that. I am typically very forgiving of slow service during busy times, but I do kind of expect some, 'Hey, sorry, we're really backed up because of ___ tonight, it's going to be a little longer for your food,' from my servers. Especially for the prices of the Grandview Saloon - the food here was not significantly cheaper than the meals at LeMont, but the quality, amount, and presentation of the food did not even come close to stacking up. However, all of this said, I do believe very strongly in second chances, and if I were to receive a coupon or have a Groupon deal for the Grandivew Saloon, I think we would return just to see if we were there first on an off-night. When it comes to paying full-price for a meal though, for now, I will be sticking to the Mt. Washington restaurants I know.
Q: positive

A: Recommendations come highly for Capo's Italian, and I was definitely intrigued. How can one not be when you hear about their mysterious greeting? The BF (now the Big F) and I walked in without reservations on a Sunday evening. For our party of two, we got to sit on stage. For future reference, there are very cool romantic booths also available. We went straight for their "Made-Man Pastas." The Big F chose "Capo's Lasagna" for $18.50. It's "lasagna pasta layered with Italian sausage, crushed meatballs, ricotta cheese and fresh herbs topped with Capo's special sugo and cheeses." He also added a Homemade Italian Meatball for $6. (Although it does say 'meatballs' on the menu, it's really one big meatball.) I chose the "Tortellini Trafficante" for $18.50, "pasta rings stuffed with cheese served with proscuitto, peas and mushrooms in our creamy alfredo sauce." I also paid $4 for the added Italian Sausage. Both dinners are served with bread, butter, and a choice of Pasta Faggioli, Tony's Duck Soup, or their House Salad. We both chose "Tony's Duck Soup" because the name sounded crazy enough. They describe it as "Italian egg drop soup with garlic, spinach, and a touch of crushed red pepper." The soup was simple, but a bit too salty for my tastes. Although the Big F enjoyed his lasagna, he thought it could be better. He did finish it all up though. My tortellini dish was good with its creamy sauce, but definitely very heavy. (I had leftovers.) The added Italian sausage wasn't particularly a favorite of mine either, perhaps my tastes aren't refined enough. As a result, we never made it to dessert. With names like "Ma Barker's Cobbler," "Leo's Lips Lava Cake," and "Dillinger's Chocolate Covered Cannoli's," you're saddened you missed out. For the ambiance, I'll give it a solid five stars. The restaurant really does make you feel like you're part of this secret society. It would be great for groups or a dinner for two. In terms of food, I'd give it a 3. Overall, a four star rating. (Pics of our dinner are posted!) Apparently they also have a happy hour from 5 to 7 pm!
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

Answer: Hmmm.....I'm not sure how someone thinks everything is so fresh and new looking - because I'm not too impressed with this gym. I will tell you though, it's never crowded! I joined because of the pool (which I have yet to use). The women's locker room is bare boned compared to other gyms in the area I've been to, with signs all over about not leaving your valuables unlocked. Sounds safe, right? I haven't used too many weight machines but the cardio ones are decent, although some seem worn down and several are usually broken at any given time. There are hardly any group exercise classes offered, so I haven't had a chance to try those out either. The staff is pretty friendly, and there is usually a decent selection of magazines available....so there are your two stars. I can't imagine being a member here for long.

Output: I found Phoenix Nails & Spa through Yelp and I was very pleased with my visit. The tech did exactly as I asked and there was no hard up-sell. I felt like I got my money's worth of massage and care. I would recommend them and would go again.

Every now and then I abandon my vegetarian lifestyle for some really, REALLY amazing sushi....please don't judge....besides, fish aren't even that cute... This happens about twice a year...and it only happens for restaurants like Okada...where I know it'll be worth it. I was in town for work and met a few friends at the bar for excessive eating and drinking. The restaurant is gorgeous and overlooks the beautiful Wynn waterfall...I actually really enjoyed sitting at the bar...the ambiance was more relaxed and I was a lot closer to the booze... We ordered the following to share: Vegetable Tempura ($18)- you can't really screw up fried veggies....this was great Shrimp Tempura Roll w/ Spicy Tuna on top ($15)- Omg....this is what love tastes like....this roll was so incredible we had 3 (feel free to call us drunken hefers) Yellowtail Jalapeno Chile Salsa ($25)- this was a spicy party in my mouth. YUM Mushroom Skewers ($5)- mind you these "skewers" are $5 for 3 tiny grilled mushrooms....pretty good though Zucchini Skewers ($5)- Loved I know we ordered a ton of other stuff but I was way too drunky at that point to remember. Total bill for 5 of us came out $550 after tax and tip. All in all a really amazing meal. Will definitely be back when it's time for me to cheat on my vegetarian ways again =)
