Sentiment analysis: This really was supposed to be a review of epic proportions with a positive light but a recent visit/incident to the Red Velvet put their good food as something to the past for me. I was visiting Vegas just last week and on our second to last day there we had google searched vegan friendly restaurants in the area and came up with the Red Velvet. We went based on the good reviews of the food to try out our luck and were pleasantly surprised. The food was in fact absolutely amazing. I have never had a vegan dish that was that health consciously filling. The desserts were something to die for and I couldn't believe that the cakes were all under 200 calories AND vegan. NOW, HERE'S THE PROBLEM.... I would've loved to been able to write that and end it on a happy note however an issue occurred that was VERY off-putting for me as a customer. The very next day we found and ate at the Red Velvet we went back to grab food to go for our trip back home, I had also bought almost $100 worth of cakes to take back to my friends and family to try (some vegans some not), you know, to wow them with the news of the good food. I am not the kind of person to excessively worry about how well people are doing their jobs because with how many encounters we have with other businesses as consumers today, that's just too much worry. With that being said, I guess my fault was in the fact that I didn't check our bags to make sure everything was in there. I had only realized that when we got home 2 days later. When I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager he told me he'd look into it and get back to me. Now normally, I would take that as "you're bugging me, I don't have time for this sh*t, so I'll pretend I care to get you off the phone." But because I had such an initial pleasant experience there, I assumed for the best. Not getting a phone call back, I called back the next day and spoke with the manager again who told me their "records and inventory" match and they didn't have any extra food left. I told him I understood but I had basically paid $13 (6.50 each cake) for something I didn't even receive, and continued to ask him how he planned on rectifying this. Longer story short, this manager who originally came off as if he gave a crap basically told me I'm not gonna do the right thing which would have been to just refund me my money and move on. Instead he kept stuttering and ended up hanging up on me. Now I'm not sure what day and age this man got his so-called "business experience" through or at, but a word to the wise when you go here for anything. Check your food be it to-go or ordering in and make sure you're gonna eat the food you order because chances are if this guy did this to me for a simple to-go order he'll be a tight ass even if you found a dead rat under your panini, or simply didn't like the food. Most restaurants are smart enough to hold onto customers, NOT PUSH THEM AWAY! Especially the enthusiastic ones who like me live in another state and are your marketing tools! Word of mouth is a very powerful thing now a days, but that doesn't just go for the positive things people have to say about businesses like this, it goes for the NEGATIVE AS WELL!!!

Sentiment analysis: Surprised it has taken me this long to make it to Nobuo at Teeter. On the day I finally decided to come I arrive just before 5 and they don't open until 5:30 for the start of their Happy Hour. So no big deal, I went to Rose and Crown for a beer and to watch the looooong line form at Bianco... After one leisurely beer, it was 5:30 and I made my way into the Teeter house. They had 4-5 happy hour food specials and 2 specialty happy hour drinks that night. Along with their extensive sake and wine menu they offered some specialty cocktails and Japanese beers. Deciding to sit at the counter, I was able to watch Nobuo work his magic preparing the sashimi dishes on the menu. They had a cocktail offering at happy hour they called the smokey bomb...with grapefruit, shishito peppers and some smokey component...honestly I don't remember all the details but this was more of a savory cocktail than a sweet one. I found it to be quite piquant but not overwhelming. [It complemented everything I ordered quite well.] I started with the Nasu Bacon Miso, japanese eggplant with a dollup of bacon miso and bonito shavings....not stellar but a good start.... Next I ordered the short rib steam buns...this was quite tasty. Sliced grilled marinated short rib served on a steamed bun. I look forward to trying the pork belly buns next time. To finish my outting here I decided on the Tempura Squash blossoms stuffed with bacon and goat cheese served with a side of curry sea salt. Let me just say that 3 days later I am still thinking about just this dish, craving the flavors and wondering how to make or where I can get the curry sea salt. Nobuo prides himself in staying as local as possible for many of his menu items and keeping it all seasonal. The menu changes regularly as a result. All I can say is who would wait for HOURS to get the food across the way when you can have a wonderful savory treats here.

Sentiment analysis: Let me help you with 3 words - DON'T EAT HERE! My husband was here for a conference, we decided on the buffet because I was so hungry I figured I would be sure to find several things I would like here. I could not have been more wrong! I was so sad I could have cried! They open at 11am, we arrived around 12:30. I figured the food would be hot, fresh & in abundance. But it was NONE of the above! I wish I had gone around and taken pictures, but honestly, I was just way too upset to do so. My husband only had limited break time before having to get back to his conference so I forced myself to find something that could hold me over...I reasoned with myself - there are starving children in the world, at least this is "something", it was only $10, I can make it work for the moment. The pictures in the album are so misleading! On our visit, nothing was labeled(except some of the desserts) so you really had to guess at what everything was. Additionally, there were not a lot of food offerings and what was there was either dried out, over cooked (pastas), or old. The desserts were the only items that looked okay, but there weren't a lot and they don't make a meal. I tried to make it work. I've never eaten white rice that was hard, crunchy & sticky - I thought I was gonna break my teeth! One bite of the pizza was all I could do - it was doughy; the baked chicken wing had 2 feathers on it that we're longer than the wing tip - No exaggeration!!! I was done. To be fair, there were three positives - the cheesecake was good - not great, but good was wonderful after everything else was so bad. The beef at the carving station, once it was restocked, was really good- very nicely seasoned. The service was great! They were very friendly & attentiv
