A: Bad Thanksgiving Dinner for $95 per person. We have done price fix before at Per Se and Eleven Madison Park in NYC and thought it was flawless. I am an Open Table VIP and have never given 1 star. My parents retired to Henderson and were excited about treating us for thanksgiving. We travelled from Miami , San Francisco, and NJ. For the 6 of us, the meal bill was $700. We paid the wine separately. The experience was not worth it. It started with the inability to find our reservation, a dirty coffee cup, and debris floating in a water glass. The waiter was not graceful. The appetizers were good, but the turkey entree was dry and tasteless. There was a small piece of white meat on top of shredded dark meat surrounded by dry stuffing and vegetables. It needed to be smothered in gravy. The apple dessert was delicious. The pumpkin dessert was not. So as not to ruin the night, my parents expressed their disappointment to the general manager Chris Jurchenko the following week and were offered, if they pay $100 for 2 additional entrees, free appetizers, drinks, and dessert. This was supposed to be a thankful occasion, but was far from it. If Botero were not in the Wynn Hotel, it would not last.

Q: positive

A: Helpful staff. Good prices on most things here. Decent location. Parking is kinda lame but eh, that's not a big deal really. I'm all for supporting a local business. Oh, but hey, we need bigger containers of chlorine. Those 25 lb bucket just aren't enough for us. Can you do that sometime soon?

Q: positive

A: Hit Lo-Lo's again recently and it did not disappoint. I definitely think this is the best fried chicken that I've ever had. Also quite enjoy the excellent waffles with it. While I'd heard of the pairing, I'd never tried it prior to going to Lo-Lo's. Just works for me. I also ended up with 3 mason jars of Kool-Aid, which I love. As the Mrs. and her visiting friend are from Australia, they are not familiar with Kool-Aid. When it came out they said "red cordial"! Me not being familiar with this red cordial didn't know what that meant. I guess in Australia red cordial has a bad rep for inducing hyperactivity. Of course there is the sugar but then they also think the red food coloring contributes. Since we really did not need our 4 year old and 2 year old more hyper, I ended up with theirs as well. Fine with me. I will admit that I did not finish all 3. Those mason jars are huge! The rest of the group, kids included, also love their meal. Among us we had several different pieces of chicken (breast, thigh, wing), waffles, grits, collard greens and mac & cheese. Pretty much everything was a hit. The ladies absolutely loved the collard greens and we put away about 3 orders among the 5 of us. The mac & cheese (a JW recommendation) was also a very big hit. We also modified our grits order to no butter (not sure if that is sacrilege) and while I don't know if my mouth enjoyed it quite as much, I didn't feel like I was going to die from richness as I'd felt after the previous visit. The staff was super nice as always and we also love the atmosphere in there. Especially liked seeing the Shaq signature on the ceiling in the room with the counter. Ready to go back!

Q: negative

A:
A large selection to be sure, but this is not a good place to buy a build your own six pack: there is no discount for buying 6 at a time and the singles range from $3.50-$11. A build your own six pack should cost between $10-$15 unless you're buying it from a bar, not $18+ for average beers. Granted they have lots of premium singles that are reasonably priced in the $4-$8 range. Maybe I'm just used to lower prices in Massachusetts, but $24 for a six pack of domestic craft beers seems ridiculous. Come here for a regular six, a magnum, or a couple of premium singles, but don't get hosed on their build your own six packs. If you're after a build your own, go to Giant Eagle Market District in Shady Side (good selection, $12.99 for a build your own) or the other Itz Doggin It in Squirrel Hill on Murray ave - they're still on the higher end at $14.99, but at least it caps out there.
