A: Well this was a fine surprise. I really liked this place, and from the packed dining room, I'd say a lot of other people do too. I'm no expert when it comes to dim sum, but I've had it a few dozen times at good and mediocre places in Chicago and New York. With that experience, I feel somewhat qualified to at least make a ballpark judgment on dim sum quality. Dim Sum (I wish they had another name I could use to refer to them) provided a solid meal at a reasonable price ($24 for about nine platters of dim sum plus tea). The basics were executed really well, like the taro treasure boxes with mushroom inside and the shrimp rice flour crepes (my favorite). The steamed leek dumplings were good, but the fried leek and shrimp dumplings were even better. Another hearty little number was the shrimp-stuffed fried tofu cubes. One thing I had never had before but liked quite a bit was the eggplant and shrimp dish. It had a light consistency even though it looked very heavy and oily at first blush. This review makes the dim sum menu seem especially shrimp-heavy. Maybe that's true. But it was all good. As for the service, it was really good. We got all the carts we needed when we needed them, and people stopped by to check on us every few minutes. At this restaurant, everything, including tea, soft drinks, etc., is recorded on the dim sum card, so when you're done, no need to wait for the check, just get up and walk to the front counter to pay. I wavered between three and four stars for this place, but since it was such an unexpected gem and had great service, I'm going with four.

A: Missing a few small features from the original in LA, but close enough. The guadalahara dog is always killer. If you dont know how good sour cream is on a hotdog, you better find out and pass on the word! The original does not serve vegas crap like corn dog bites or even fountain drinks, only cans and bottles of root beer. But guess they has to make some changes for LV. But overall food was great, but I wish my sister could have experienced it the same way I did in Cali. incase your having trouble finding it, its right next to PBR Bar on the ground level of PH facing the strip. Outdoor misters on the patio.

A: One of the very first things we did when we found out we were going to Montreal was to book a reservation for Joe Beef, and we're thankful that we did. Everything was delicious and we did not walk out of there hungry. The tables are very very close together. When we arrived, they asked us to take a look at the menu (written on a chalkboard) and then to let them know when we were ready to sit down. Tip: I took a picture of the menu on my phone so I wouldn't have to stand there and look before deciding what I wanted to eat. When we were ready, they pulled out the table so I could get in to the other side, slid the table back to sort of trap me in, then my husband sat on the other side of the table. Doesn't sound too great in words, but I'm just trying to explain how close everyone is in the restaurant- we didn't mind it at all and enjoyed being able to see what everyone else was ordering as well. The menu is in French so I didn't really know what to order. The waitress was great at explaining items on the menu and making recommendations. We ordered too much and still got dessert. Foie gras double down - rich and tasty Crab gratin? - good but not something I'd rave about or order again Joe Beef Steal - delicious - I really liked the horseradish on top of the tomato and didn't need any of the sauce that came on the side Husband had pork with a surprise egg in the middle - it was tasty too but sort of reminded me of the flavors of a roasted pig in Asian markets. Chocolate baked potato for dessert- I wish I got a picture of it before they chocolate sauce was poured over it but the reaction from others around us when this came out was worth ordering. Great service and very good food. I'd try to come back if I'm ever in Montreal again.

Q: negative

A:
I had found this place on grubhub a while ago and finally decided to order dinner from them tonight. I ordered a spinach & artichoke heart pizza and an appetizer combination platter. The food was delivered in about an hour, after the delivery person drove away I opened the appetizer box and it was a cheeseburger. I called immediately thinking the guy could turn around because my order was switched with another in his car. The lady told me they would get the platter right out to me. Well, here it is 3 hours later and they never came back, or called (phone number entered on grubhub.com). Finally decided to heat up the cold cheeseburger and eat it. Very unprofessional.
