A: Americanized Mexican food. Decent but not authentic. Not sure about the cleanliness at this one. Good service, a bit pricey for what you actually get. They sell silly souvenir cups with some of their margaritas - don't buy those, you'll just pay way too much for a plastic monstrosity.
Q: negative

A: So I considered myself a regular here. A group of us would come the same day every week on a regular basis...then we stopped...the service is horrible! We enter and seat ourselves at the bar area, three servers walk by and haven't even said anything to us. After waiting 10 minutes we stepped over to the bar and ordered our drinks. A server finally stopped by and was surprised to see us sitting at our table. She asked when we came in an we told her about 6 passes by and 15 minutes ago. We ordered chips and salsa which took another 15 minutes. One of the servers literally just rotated from guy to guy around the bar. At one point I thought she was stoned based on her appearance and complete ignorance to any patrons around her. She served no one except for possibly the beyond hammered guy at the end of the bar. I want to really like this place as I have been to other locations but this one makes it tough. I am giving it a two only because drinks are reasonably priced...that's about it! I thought that with their boss being on undercover boss might help but sorely it has not taken effect at this location. This location might need some staff turnover.

Answer: I have driven by Flame Kabob countless times in the course of dropping packages off at USPS, but the timing just hadn't worked out. Last night, we were heading out to drop off some packages and were looking for somewhere to eat afterwards. I pulled up Restaurant.com and found a $25 off $35 for Flame Kabob - just what I was looking for! The restaurant is well-lit, stands out on the corner of its building, and is spacious. The design is... let's use "eclectic". Assorted granite tabletops and faux rock wall decor lend to a Mediterranean feel, as do the bumpin' beats laid behind sultry "Arabic" vocals (I barely speak Spanish) playing overhead (at an interestingly reasonable volume). On the large Flatscreen TV which manages to not look TOO out of place, CNN aka The Anderson Cooper Network was broadcasting news of the Libyan uprising. It strangely juxtaposed with the music, making me wish all news were Autotuned for our enjoyment. The help was... well, helplful if not all that personable. He seemed a bit irritated with us although we were the only people in the store and still ended up spending $40 for 3 people (after coupon, but also after the 18% grat was added, which wasn't really a grat, but just more income for the restaurant... meh.) On to the food: We ordered Hummus ($2.49), Baba Ghanoush ($1.99), Tabouli ($1.99), and uhh... the yogurt and cucmber sauce/dip (Mast-O-Khiar - $2.49) along with some extra bread ($1.99) to start . Our "appetizers" came up within about 8-10 minutes and we were off to the races, stuffing our face with as much deliciousness as we could, and it was all delicious! The hummus had great flavor, and I actually ate Baba Ghanoush and Tabouli, neither of which I normally ever touch. Even the bread itself was notably tasty, a rare treat and much appreciated! The main courses were (we all shared): Ground Beef Kabob plate ($6.99) Ground Chicken Kabob plate ($6.99) Ground Lamb Kabob plate ($7.99) Tenderloin Chicken Kabob plate ($8.99) ALL came with a giant pita (half of a 12"), tons of what they underwhelmingly call "Saffron Rice" (which is actually some of the most attractive, subtly flavorful, and well-cooked rice I've ever had... there's got to be a name for that! "Wicked Awesome Rice", perhaps?) Both chicken plates got gobbled up before anyone could discuss how they'd be divided (Fork Wars!) On to the beef, which was perfectly seasoned (not OVERseasoned as is alllll too common in Mediterranean places). Everything was tender, perfectly cooked, and seriously - I can't say enough about their getting the seasoning right. Finally, a place that doesn't think "Brian needs another cup of salt in him!" It was late in the day, so I'm going light on the lamb... Yes, Lamb is gamey, but done right and perfectly fresh, it's not as gamey as what I ate (I had to eat most of it - I'm our "garbage disposal"... After fulfilling my disposal duties (the lamb wasn't THAT bad... just full of lamb-y flavor!), on came the dessert - Baklava ($1.99). How good was it? We bought phyllo dough, butter, pistachios and honey before we got home after being reminded just how much Baklava can DRIP WITH DELICIOUSNESS!!! Yes, I licked the honey out of the container - what about it!? For our $10 tip, we didn't really get any "service", but this isn't that type of place... the open kitchen (awesome) was quick to let us know when our food was up (also awesome). We considered leaving our disposable everything on the table but opted to haul it to the trash ourselved (darned morals - although we did leave a good bit of rice on the table). On the way out, we walked past a few bags of trash which hadn't made their way to the dumpster just yet... Nothing "shocking", it was late, they were nearing closing, but really... you can't just take the extra steps to the dumpster when almost no one's in the restaurant? Overall, great place, good specials (not available with Restaurant.com coupon), a little in the middle of nowhere but if you're on Sunset by the airport, there's few places to eat and this is a reaaaally good one. Their full menu is on their home page (awesome, and a rare treat... I don't care about your atmosphere and blahhhh. I'm hungry!) For those who read to the bottom, the Peach soda ($1.99 for 12oz) was great - you're welcome!

A:
We are in the midst of a very stressful transition, moving across the country from Charleston, SC to Portland, OR, in order to access better educational and therapeutic resources for our daughter Camille, who has Cerebral Palsy. One of US Airways' gate agents, Connie Owens, took it upon herself this morning to make our travel even more difficult, stressful, and inconvenient. I do not have sufficient words to express my absolute disgust and disappointment with Ms Owens' lack of compassion, flexibility and courtesy. We have flown with our daughter many times in the past eight years, usually taking US Airways because their crews have been unfailingly helpful, sympathetic and courteous. Until now. Camille is now twelve years old, nearly 100 pounds, and almost five feet tall. She is non-ambulatory, non-verbal, has autistic-like sensitivities, and often will require one or more diaper changes on a long flight. Consequently, we always sit as close to the back of the plane as possible, as she is much too large to change in the tiny bathroom, and past flight crews have been very accommodating in arranging to either block off the aisle, screen off the last row of seats, or allow us to use the floor of the galley when everything is locked down after service. We were explaining this to the flight crew and Ms Owens when she took it upon herself to insist that that absolutely could not be done, that we were only allowed to change Camille in the bathroom, which is physically impossible, and to aggressively verbally berate my wife Christina over wanting to make some arrangement so that we could get to our destination with a minimum of discomfort and inconvenience to ourselves and our fellow passengers. Her aggression set off our daughter into a loud and prolonged screaming fit. Rather than wait for the meltdown to pass, or to back off and give us a chance to calm our daughter, Ms Owens immediately contacted security to have us removed from the plane, which was unnecessary, humiliating, and a tremendous inconvenience. The security manager, Mike, was extremely kind, courteous and helpful as he assisted us from the plane, and consequently rebooked our flights for tomorrow, and set us up at a hotel near the airport. Nonetheless, this has made a difficult and stressful trip even more so, and has caused us to have to scramble to rearrange things at our point of arrival. We are also stuck in a hotel without most of our luggage and some of our prescriptions. This has been, overall, a horrible experience, and certainly will make us think twice before flying US Airways or its affiliates again. In addition, I cannot imagine that Ms Owens' actions were in any way acceptible per the ADA. I attempted to call to make and resolve this complaint, but the agent and supervisor I spoke with insisted that it could only be addressed through a web form, promising contact in one to three business days, which is infuriating. On the positive side, Yvonne J, another gate agent, was tremendously helpful and compassionate. We also received assistance from an airport maintenance man, whose name I did not catch, in replacing a bolt on the wheelchair that broke as we were bringing it up the gangway. Special needs flyers and parents - have you had similar experiences? Advice? Insights? How do I get people to treat my child like a human being?
