Q: This is definitely one of the better hotels to stay at. I've stayed here a few times and haven't had a bad experience yet...knock on wood. I recommend staying in the tower with the Buddha by the elevators, close walking distance to the parking garage. The rooms are decent. The bathroom and shower are small. You do have a refrigerator to use which is quite handy. I've also been fortunate to stay in a suite which has a bar and small living area. The bathroom is larger as well. The hotel is great since it has a walking bridge to the Main Street. The only thing is that I wish it had access straight onto the Fremont Experience like a lot of the other downtown hotels do. There are 5 restaurants to eat at, one which is 24 hours. This hotel has classic food from Hawaii including saimin, Portuguese sausage and chicken katsu. This hotel is full of Hawaii people, you are bound to see someone you know. Tip: if staying on a Friday night, park early...the lot fills up fast! ^_^*~ OPTIONS:

Q: One of my favorite places to go. Last three things I have had (prime rib, filet, and new york steak) had been amazing. One thing I was not a big fan of was the baseball sirloin. For having several locations in Phoenix area, they keep the quality high. OPTIONS:

Q: I went to Uncle Sams on 83rd Street yesterday because one of my friends in my bicycle club recommended it and actually, I had been wanting to check it out for a while anyway so when my daughter was in town from California, we stopped in for lunch. It's hard to figure out what this place is trying to be - a sports bar?, a family restaurant? a deli? A pizza joint? I just figure that one out. We were there at about straight up noon so you would think it would be pretty busy but there were only about 12 tables out of about 50 occupied, about half just adults, about half with kids (one kid was pitching a fit so that was a bit distracting). I had a cheese steak sandwich and my daughter had a ham & turkey sandwich, both with fries. I would give the food a 5 / 10 score. (OK but nothing special). You do get plenty to eat so you will not leave hungry but you will leave feeling a little bit dissatisfied about the quality of the food. I'm not sure what the sandwiches needed but I felt my steak and cheese was a little bland. The fries were pretty excellent. Service was a 2 out of 10. Slow, no follow up to check on the food or drinks - she only came to the table to take our order, deliver the food and then to deliver our check - that's it. Will I go back? Doubt it. Would I recommend Uncle Sams to my friends? No. There are just too many other places in town that offer better food, better service and there are places that seem to really want you to come back - this place didn't seem to offer anything stellar at all.

Q: My wife and I have been looking forward to eating at JR for quite a while. We have tried to get in on previous LV trips and weren't able to. This trip we made reservations a few months ahead. We have both eaten at similar style restaurants before, such as Le Bernadin in NYC, French Laundry in Napa and Cypress in Healdsburg. Unfortunately this gastronomic experience just plain sucked. Forget about the pretentious server, that goes with the landscape. It was all about the base I mean food. Hopefully you got the joke. We decided to go with the 4 item tasting menus that also included dessert and cheese. Was around $200 per person. The two appetizers we each selected were pretty good but not blow my mind away fantastic. With my memory slightly still in tact, one was some esoteric tuna creation and the other was something with uni. Where the wheels came off was the timing of our entree selection. It took over 1hr after the appetizer to get our first entree. We were at the restaurant for 3 hours total for a 4 item tasting. What the F. One of the entrees was a pasta with truffles, bland and over cooked spaghetti and not hot. This dish should have killed it but not even close. Both of our next entrees were meat dishes and they were also served not hot. The waiter said be careful the plates are hot. Not! They were cold. We sent these 3 dishes back and moved to the cheese and skipped dessert because we had been there entirely to long. The restaurant didn't apologize but did cut our bill down to compensate for the returned dishes. All in all nothing special, having experienced this style previously, each and every dish should compliment the previous yet have some sort of crescendo at the end. The highlight of the meal was the shaved french butter and the bread cart. OPTIONS:
