Q: We went the first night it was open. Some issues with the food. Ordered the salmon with sweet potato wedges. Came with mashed. When I told the waitress she said she would get the sweet potatoes. About 15 min later I got these greasy limp potatoes that tasted awful. I chalked it up to opening night. Very willing to give it another try. We went back about a week later and we were told there was a 35 min wait. I saw lots of empty tables. When I mentioned this, the "hostess" rolled her eyes and said, "we don't have wait staff." Her attitude was awful. We did not stay. If she had not rolled the eyes we may have stayed... Not sure if we will go back and try it again. What a shame...We ate at this place under the old owner at least once a week....They need to do something about this gal if they are going to make it...

Q: You know I'd hate to knock the service, because the employees are genuinely nice, but damn.....horrible car wash. Just went in today, August 25th 2011, and got a hand wax and the prestige wash. I specifically ask for no interior dressing, and it's in there. Wax, still left on the car in several places. The bugs I asked to be removed (and would have even been willing to pay a couple bucks extra for some attention to detail), were still caked all over the front of the vehicle. Water spots, all over. Granted, it is 110 degrees outside, but this place will make you wish you had washed the car yourself. I would definitely not recommend this establishment to anyone else. I have tried it twice before, this being the third time, and I guess I have to learn the hard way. The manager/owner should be ashamed. Look at all the reviews for this place! Honestly, everyone should be refunded at least half of their money for even giving this place the time of day. I hadn't had my car washed for about 3 weeks and I wish I would have kept it like that. As far as I can tell, my car has more aesthetic damage to the paint after the wash, than it did prior to the wash. They do a half ass job of washing and then proceed to massage the remaining dirt into your paint job.

Q: My group of friends and I have an annual summer trip to Vegas, and we always stayed at this hotel (back in the day when it was Planet Hollywood Towers). Ever since they switched over to the Elara, we did not enjoy our last experience there. They have a ridiculous policy where you have to show your room key 24/7 to access the elevator. And to add on top of that, each key only allows 2 people in at a time. This is such an inconvenience, especially for a large group where everyone doesn't want to bring their key. The housekeeping and room service quality has went down a lot since switching to Elara. Upon our arrival, the kitchen counter and table was not spotless and the floors looked like it wasn't thoroughly vacuumed. We did not bother asking for a room switch, because we arrived fairly late in the night. At one point during our stay, our dryer unit was broken so we called to get it fixed. Finally after a 2+ hour wait, the engineer finally came to fix it. And lastly, we called the front desk to request for extra towels one morning. 3 hours went by, and we did not get our towels. Luckily, housekeeping was in the hallway and we ended up grabbing some from them. This is a very disappointing hotel and we will not be returning!

Q: The pizza, which is described as for one, is sort of a tweener. If you have the stomach of Kobiyashi, perhaps its for one. Otherwise, it's too small for two, but too much for one. The pizza itself is okay. The gourmet ingredients, such as pancetta or gorgonzola cheese, are there. The flavor profile is good, and the thinner crust/bread is awesome. I just don't know if I'd get it again for $16. As for the dining experience, we only tried takeout. Let's say you've been with a girl for sometime: you spend weeknights watching The Amazing Race, she's the first person you call when something cool happens, she emails you first when she reads a funny article, and she has half her clothes in your closet. BUT, she still introduces you to her friends as "a good friend," and when her parents are in town, she doesn't invite you out to meet them. So, what are you? Dating? Friends with benefits? Stop stringing me along! I'm crazy about you, but what are we? Am I your boyfriend? You don't like labels? I don't get it, it's just that...oh sorry, I lost my focus. So, we tried to order takeout, but you have to do it in person. Well, that kind of defeats the purpose of takeout. And then, we discovered that you can only order the pizza as takeout, and not any of the appetizers or starters. Argh. In my mind, Dinette should either do takeout, with call-ins and the full menu, or just not offer it. Off to try the next pizza joint. Suggestions?
