A: I am getting very frustrated with this store. Their baggers are terrible, I can't tell you how many times I have had grapes or baby spinach completely smashed because somebody they put heavy items on top of it. I know they are just teenagers who don't know any better but it is really annoying. I bring the reusable bags, some of which are the kind that keeps stuff cold and so when I am unloading my cart I usually put the cold stuff together (as well as separating cans and heavy stuff and any non-food items). But then since the checker gets way ahead of the bagger (they usually only have one person bagging for every three lanes open) it all jumbles together and then when the kid does get to it (I MEAN IF - most of them time I end up bagging myself since they don't have anyone there) everything just gets tossed into whatever bags so it all gets smashed and damaged. Lately, they seem to have cut back on not only baggers but also checkout clerks since I usually have to wait in a long line. I know, I know I could just use the self checkout. I do that when I have a few things but if I am doing a large shopping trip then it is very difficult because there isn't enough room to bag everything in the cart in that small area and if you start removing bags from the area to put them back in your cart before you are done with the whole transaction then the stupid machine starts giving you an error and stops in its tracks. I suppose this sounds a little neurotic but it's just one of the things that has been bugging me lately. They also recently re-organized the store in the most idiotic way so now everything is not where you would expect it to be and shopping takes twice as long. Worst of all their wine department has gone to hell. They now only stock the most basic varietals from the mass-production corporate wineries. I have been a loyal customer here for several years but if they don't shape up an improve I'll start going elsewhere.

Q: negative

A: I to inquired about a home by haven and this was on the 17th. It's now the 27th and still no response or to the realtor. I moved from California to Vegas and now feel stuck. I already want to move back. These people don't seem to work at all return emails to my realtor. I in my life had never ran into such a poor experience on a rental.

Q: positive

A: Maybe I loved this because I had no expectations, but I think Laloux really is a stellar spot. It's relatively small, isn't trying too hard, but manages to execute very well on food at a rather reasonable price point. We stuck with a seafood heavy meal (a salmon, roe, sea app, arctic char with whelks and eggplant, and a local mackerel with gnocchi), swayed by the sustainability of the options, and only the appetizer wasn't a huge success. The japanese eggplant, served under the char, was literally mind blowing. If someone offered me a plate of just that, I would be more than happy: luxurious in texture, perfectly seasoned. The wine list is fairly interesting, reasonable. They ended the meal with miniature caneles on the house, which I didn't try, but looked like a solid version. Minus one because: there were a ton of bugs outside which I think could be partially scared off by some kind of candle/treatment and our server, while very nice, seemed to disappear, so was rather slow.

Q: positive

A:
This restaurant was the highlight of my Vegas trip! Loved the atmosphere and the wine! Calamari was perfectly fried and seasoned so well. I was addicted. We also started with the mushroom pizza. I was impressed and the flavor was impeccable. I ordered the filet, medium rare (duh). It was juicy and the sear on the outside just put it over the top. They can make some fine steak there. The vegetables we got on the side were not doused in grease and were surprisingly delicious for a side! I tried my friend's veal and the sauce along with the veal made for a fabulous combination! We tried several desserts the the caramel bundido made me want to take a bath in that salted caramel sauce! It was out of this world. Easily the best dish of the night even though everything else was great. I highly recommend!
