Problem: When my cousin was in town she mentioned a good steak house at Circus Circus she wanted us all to meet at. I was curious to see that a nice steak house existed at Circus Circus so of course I wanted to check it out! It's located in a row of vendors selling jewelry, purses and Hello Kitty items. Once you go inside you are transported to a place with nice dark wood and stuffed birds...old school decor. The first thing you see when you walk in is a big slab of beef legs hanging near the hostess podium. There was even a huge lobster in there. I didn't know if that was real or not but I wouldn't mind seeing it slathered in butter, garlic and lemon juice! I started off with the French Onion soup which had a nice gooey cheese. The broth was also tasty. I had the petite fillet for $41.00 which comes with your choice of potato and vegetable. I chose the baked potato and carrots. I tasted my husband's garlic mashed potatoes and wished I ordered that instead because they were amazing! The meat here is the star because it just melts in your mouth. The sides lack excitement but they taste good. Here's a tip: If you gamble at any of the MGM hotels you can use your comps to pay for the meal. I guess Circus Circus is like a stepchild to the MGM affiliated casinos. My aunt was able to comp her meal and my cousin's meal .

Problem: This WAS my favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Until one late night when I brought my family from California here, bragging to them that this was the best place in Las Vegas. Service was horrendous. I ordered the beef stew with egg noodle soup. I cannot believe they let this out of the kitchen. It looked like watered down beef boullion cubes with hard fatty beef.It was gross....I pretended that I enjoyed it just to save face. I don't understand. I've had this dish hundreds of times and it was always spot on. I've been a loyal pho so 1 customer since 1998. I'm astonihhed that they served such horrible food. Maybe ...it was a fluke but not to be harsh. I expect better...way better. Pho so 1 ship shape up and get your act together because Saigon # 8 is right down the street!!!!

Problem: DISABLED PEOPLE, PLEASE BEWARE I've been a patron of Cajun Queen for over a decade but my experience tonight was humiliating. I treated my sister to a birthday dinner and despite our online reservation, we were asked to leave in the most demeaning of ways. I have a debilitating childhood disease and use a wheelchair on occasion ; tonight was one such occasion. I could only order food I knew didn't require cutting, so I opted for potatoes and a salad. My sister ordered a full meal with wine. I had two mixed drinks (so we're not cheap diners). We had to signal for another glass of wine for my sister, despite seeing the party next to us being served appropriately. I'm not sure why we were overlooked but I'm left to wonder if it's the small portion I ordered that was disparaging. Anyway, when my sister went to look upstairs a minute to reminisce, our server asked my sister quite off the cuff, "Do you want help with 'her' (wheel)chair? I kinda need that table." Taken aback, my sister said, "No." We took note of the EMPTY tables on BOTH sides of us and the fact that the restaurant wasn't crazy busy as we remembered. I spent $67 on a tab for two and left a TIP of $20--clearly more than twenty percent. I don't know many people who tip as graciously as I do. My reasoning for leaving the tip despite the service, was it being Christmas time and it's something I do for goodwill. When we rolled to the handicap ramp, it was completely (I mean, completely) blocked off by an A-frame sign about parking; see for yourself. Had my sister not been with me, I would have not been able to access the restaurant at all. I haven't always been disabled and ran a restaurant, myself (loved every minute of it). I know how people can take advantage (campers) and I know people can be uber-cheap at tipping. I don't fall into either ilk. I know good service when I see it; I know how to approach diners who overstay their 'welcome (their can NEVER be anyone who overstay their welcome; consider it flattery); it's part of doing business and keeping patrons happy. Take a loss here and there. We were in and HOME in a little over two hours. The couple beside us with the adorable little girl who laid all over the booth was fine by me; she's a child and CQ is a noisy place. I felt a sting of angst when I asked for my food to be wrapped. The facial gestures were quite unsettling. Please don't tell me I'm sensitive: I've had over FORTY surgeries--TWO with NO painkillers afterwards. I've walked on a BROKEN leg to buy wrapping paper tape been accosted because I wasn't 'messed up' "enough'" to ''deserve a handicap tag. So enough ---but there's no excuse for inhospitably between diner and those needing to use the facilities.''PLeASe let these be a isolated parents.' PLEASE LEAVE :)

Problem: A total disappointment. Food: Our orders that were protein-based were exceptionally well prepared with obviously very fine ingredients. Vegetables were mostly undercooked and starchy. All were served on absurdly large plates, obviously trying way too hard to be chic fine dining. Service was awful. "We'll see if we can find a place for you" sort of mentality. We were not given cocktail menus at the start, our waitress totally lacked confidence and finesse. You can bring fine dining to Madison without pretension and faux-exclusivity. I live in Brooklyn and can smell bullshit a mile away. This place is bullshit.
