Q: Visits: Once, for lunch. Before I start, I'll just say that it's a 2-star Chinese, 3-star Asian fusion place. I'll try to be as objective as I can, but the preface is that I'm not fond of Americanized Chinese food. I thought it would be like some of the normal, non-chain Mongolian grill. Turns out that it's like the PF Chang's of Mongolian grills - maybe even a little less authentic. Food: Mongolian grills are Taiwanese-style food with Southern Chinese style sauces and ingredients, but I've come to expect that and enjoy them for what they are. That said. This was something of a travesty. The salad bar was puny and not worth existence. There were two soups - beef mushroom and beer cheese, both super creamy. Not a Chinese style soup or salad in sight. Couldn't they at least make some facsimile of a Chinese soup? Then there were the seasonings. Oh god, shall I get started on those? None tasted like Chinese sauces I've ever had, barring soy sauce, which was, y'know, soy sauce. Some were supposed to be something (like the black bean sauce, which didn't really taste like doubanjiang should). Okay, fine. I get that maybe some people really love their fajita sauce or barbecue sauce (wtf?) on their "Chinese" grill. But at least put out some Chinese staple seasonings! Garlic, ginger, chili powder, and soy sauce were the only staples of Chinese flavorings they had. Meanwhile, there were a lot of seasoning varieties of the completely left-field variety - rosemary? Mixed herbs? "Seasoned salt"? "Cajun"? WTF? Where's the cumin? Where's the ground red peppercorns? Where's the sesame oil? When I go to a "Chinese" restaurant (again, "Mongolian" grills are actually Taiwanese), I'm in the mood for Chinese food, or at least "Chinese" food. This was neither. It's some "fusion" cuisine. I wouldn't usually mind, but they don't advertise themselves this way, and I left there deeply dissatisfied. I'm taking two points off for the rating because it advertises as though it's something Chinese/Mongolian, not a fusion place. As a fusion restaurant, it'd only get one star off (for not really incorporating enough Chinese flavors). I get that it wasn't for me. If you're looking for Americanized Asian fusion food, this isn't a bad place to go, food-wise. The vegetable selection is pretty great, and there's a ton of flavorings to choose from. And at least there's he fen. There should always be he fen. Atmosphere: Eh, typical atmosphere for this kind of restaurant - a kind of Chiptole crossed with a casual sit-down. No real comments here. Service: We ordered the unlimited stir-fry, salad, and soup lunch. Even though there was exactly one other pair of customers in the entire restaurant, we somehow ended up having to wait for her to come over with new bowls. Maybe it's because she was chatting with the people over at the bar. The person on the grill that day was hardly nice, either. She's standing in a semi-circle counter. We approached her from the right, after having filled our bowls, and make eye contact and smile. We get to the counter. She gestures us to the left side of the counter, despite only needing to turn 90 degrees to face us and pick up our bowls. The same thing happened every time we approach her and she's not directly facing us; sometimes it was on the left, sometimes it was on the right, so it's not that some of the counter wasn't being used. I don't mind walking over, but when you have food pickup areas labeled on the entire semi-circle, it's kind of weird to be gestured all around, seeming because the person manning the grill doesn't want to turn around or walk two steps. Between the two of them, that's a point off. Cost/Benefit: At around $12 per person for AYCE that has scallops and snow peas, it's a decent enough deal. Bottom line is that if you're looking for Asian fusion cuisine, it's an average restaurant. If you're looking for anything remotely authentic, look elsewhere. OPTIONS:

Q: RAVE ALERT! This place has an AWESOME happy hour! I mean super awesome. The line on their menu describing the food as "Authentic flavors refined" is too accurate to improve upon! All the things that usually make me want to sprint in the opposite direction of an Indian restaurant: buffet style setup, clashing colors, poor presentation, poor service and funky smells were not present at Bombay Spice. In other words, the experience was much less of a culture shock for me; elegant and modern style decor, dine-ware and silverware did the trick. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back! I had the Indian chai latte, Chicken Tikka, Samosa and Carrot Halwa. Total bill before tip: $5.74. How can I not give this place 5 stars? I mean, seriously! WHAT I'D RECOMMEND: Going for their amazing happy hour, as well as their Indian chai latte, Chicken Tikka, Samosa and Carrot Halwa OPTIONS:

Q: This is still the best breakfast bet at the Wynn. We got a smoothie, a green juice and steel cut oats to go for our car ride home and everything was fresh and healthy. Just what I needed! There aren't very many healthy options while you are in Vegas so this is a gem when you are in need of something healthy in the morning! OPTIONS:

Q: I love checking out new places, and Yelp has helped me find some real gems. I have had Emery's on my radar for a bit... but the reviews on Yelp seems to be a bit all over the place, with almost every review being either 5 star or 1 star. So I refrained from visiting until this past weekend. My husband wanted to take me to a new place, and he loves Italian food, so we went to Emery's Saturday evening for dinner. We started out with iced teas and an order of the bruchetta. I noticed there was a birthday party in the next room, and I hope that it would not impact the service we received. Thankfully it did not, our drinks were never empty and our appetizer came out quickly. For dinner, my husband had linguine with marinara sauce and I went with one of the specials for the evening, lobster ravioli. We both got dinner salads with our meals, and my husband added on a bowl of soup. Salads and the soup came out first, and again it was fairly quickly. The salads were basic, with a nice balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My husband was not thrilled with the pasta fagioli soup. He said it was clearly homemade, he just prefers a thicker soup. He would not pay the $5 to add on either the soup or salad again. We were both very pleased with our entrees. My lobster ravoli was stuffed with large chunks of lobster and the pasta was obviously freshly made that evening. My husband's linguine was also freshly made and the marinara sauce was deliciously seasoned. We finished our evening off with an order of tiramisu to go. I am so glad I did not let the bad reviews of Emery's keep me away any longer... We didn't experience any of the issues mentioned in the bad reviews. Our server was friendly and food came out in a reasonable amount of time, considering we could both see and taste that the pasta was freshly made that night (which takes time). We will definitely be back. OPTIONS:
