Problem: Ok, so I've been on a nationwide search for my new favorite kind of food, Thai. Since all the cool Yelpers have been to Viet Thai sweetie and I went for dinner tonight. I was a bit ahead of the game and found it right away thanks to everyone else's directions and drove in from Johnston Rd. Pretty non descript place and from the other diners I could tell the food was authentic from the moment I walked in. Started out with the Ginger Tea which was so tasty, I wish I could make it like that at home. Hot and steamy with such a fresh ginger flavor it really opened up my tastebuds for what was to come. We started off with the summer rolls, steamed shrimp, lettuce, cucumber, fresh cilantro, carrots and vermicelli noodles wrapped tightly in rice paper and served with peanut sauce. Compared to other similar rolls they were very generous with the shrimp and the cilantro tasted like it was right off the stem....delicious! I am working on becoming more adventurous with my thai selections and I vowed not to order my standard Pad Thai, so I went with the # 93 Pad Kratiem Prick Thai (Pretty authentic sounding huh?). Marinated chicken stir fried with garlic, and Thai white pepper, cilantro and scallions served with broccoli. The key to this dish was the fresh ingredients, especially the strong ones. The cilantro and garlic were so darn flavorful and added so much depth to the meal. Thai White Pepper, whatever that is also was able to be distinctively tasted throughout and was a nice addition. Since I am a true pansy on the "spice" meter I ordered it "Mid" which was not spicy at all. Sweetie ordered her meal at "Medium" which is one step above "mid" and let's just say she won't get any smooches tonight since I don't want the spiciness to transfer to me. She was lit up the entire meal. Service was a bit lacking IMO, once they dropped off the meal we didn't have anyone stop by or check on us until it was time for the check. Great experience, great flavor and value. For everything we were out $33.00 without tip. We'll be back.

Problem: Always so nice and quick and professional. I recommend this location. Didn't have the size and brand I called about so offered a slight discount on an alternate. 2nd time at this store and it's all been good!

Problem: Cor. I tell you, the dumbest idea I could have is go to a wine bar after a wine class, because a) I'm a swallower, not a spitter b) I turned into Jilly Goolden c) wine gets pricier the more you think you know about them (you can see some serious flaws now, can't you) Hefty measures of wine, trying the Merlot, the Cabernet and the Rioja, followed by an entire bottle of Russian River chardonnay - which was rather delicious and ordered purely because I was feeling homesick for California. I didn't even include what my date drank. The bill wasn't pretty, but the bar was, even after I drunkenly knocked my glass over. It will be a wonder if they let me back on the premises, shame on me indeed.

Problem: Now that I have your attention, let me qualify the 2 Star "award". The good: the rooms are excellent; great design and better views. The architecture is captivating, and the prices are acceptable. However, the shuttle they claim to offer from the airport is pointless for most. Check the online schedule BEFORE you book a flight. The pick up times are sporadic at best.... who wants to wait 2-3 hours for a shuttle? the Taxi will cost $40 w/o tip. When you see the M Resort offer anything "complimentary", its NOT. At best, its a 2 for 1 offer. Forget the buffet if your time means anything to you.... we stood 15 minutes and moved, I'm not joking, 4 feet! We arrived looking forward to relaxing at their gorgeous pool only to be told that the area is closed through March. We tried to get a glass of wine at the Hostile Grape; oops, closed 3 days a week! And if you like to shop, plan on renting a car because there is none at M, and the hotel is in the middle of NOWHERE. Next time I'll try Green Valley Ranch or South Point.
