Q: HOLY COW! First great spot on the strip, great looking place. BAD: The 19 minutes we wait (after we sat down) for any type of service. Now, ok, maybe nobody saw us. OR the fact that 2 managers were talking less than 6 feet away THE ENTIRE TIME didn't see us too. It's vegas, not too many people are in a rush, and neither were we. So I decided to wait, and wait, and wait, and wait...for 19 minutes. THEN I asked the managers, "Is 20 minutes the right number to wait before service"?. They were sorry, comp'ed 1 drink and went along with their day. BEST PART, I happen to run into another manger weeks later and he offered to show me the right service levels. Maybe I go back, but with so many great places on the strip....maybe not.

Q: These donuts are the best and at $2.50 for 7, everyone should give them a try. They are made fresh, fast, and taste so good when they are hot that I almost ate them all before I pulled out of the parking lot. Owners are super friendly!

Q: Their "Famous Sunday Brunch" - *sigh* where should I start... Firstly, we came at 11:00am, and were told "20-30 mins". Just over 45 mins later, our buzzer finally went off. We later found out that they were telling 20-30 mins to everyone, not just parties of 2. For myself, the scrambled eggs were dry and stiff. The hash-brown casserole... oily and greasy. The bacon, so over cooked! The gentleman they had cutting the prime rib... God... I wanted to the take knife and fork away from him and slap his hand for ruining such a beautiful piece of meat! He was constantly sawing tiny bits off, using short little strokes with the 16" of blade he had in his hand... the gal at the eggs benedict station actually had to show him how to use the honing steel when he indicated it was getting harder to cut the meat. (We were seated within 10 ft of the prime rib and eggs benedict stations, and saw the whole thing) My fiance' was very upset about it after paying $15 for something she felt that they heralded it as a "Famous Sunday Brunch", and yet it wasn't even as good as some continental breakfasts you can get a nicer hotel. There was barely any fruit - only sliced musk melon and grapes. Also, it took my fiance' almost 10 minutes to receive her drink order of milk. Neither of us are big beer drinkers, so this is yet another place that overcharges for food because they make "great beer" that we will simply not be going to again.

Q: Again with the hype for Old Town bars... Yet another friend said, "You have to try ABC Bar", this time being El Hefe. Yet another bar failed to live up to the recommendation. (Though in retrospect, her recommendation was probably due to her running into the same old man who liked to buy all her drinks every time... should have taken that into account). Strike 1: So loud I can't hear myself. Literally engaging my diaphragm and voice projection training just to make myself heard to my friends and the waitresess. Strike 2: The tacos are not that great. They have duck, which is the only really saving grace about them, but they're like $5 for this little tiny,1/4 of a tortilla sized taco. They tasted pretty boring to me. Strike 3: I had to hunt down my waitress. I mean, I walked around for 10 minutes looking for her to cash out, and this place is SMALL. I was very tempted to walk out on the tab just due to the crappy service.. Strike 4: We got water dumped on us due to the awnings outside. The manager sent us a round of shots, and he wasn't fooling anybody, they were pure grapefruit juice. Gee, thanks for filling my Vitamin C requirement...? Oh snap, 4 strikes and you are definitely out of the park for good, El Hefe.
