A: Overrated.. Overpriced.. UNDERwhelmed. 3 words to describe my dining experience at Max's tonight. Came here for dinner with my mom and a couple of her coworkers. We came just as they opened for dinner (5pm as stated on the sign at the door). However there were so many people seated and eating already when we got there..! So much for a 5pm dinner time. Anyways, on to the food. We ordered pansit bihon, lechon kawali, pork sisig, nilagang baka, and the famous whole chicken. I was so unimpressed with everything we ordered..! I felt there was a definite lack of taste and flavor to all the dishes we ordered. As for their famous chicken.. mehhh.. I'll take jollibee fried chicken any day! I was most disappointed with the nilagang baka. We went to Max's restaurant in San Francisco a couple weeks back and it was one of the best nilagang baka I ever had, but sadly this location could not replicate that same great tasting soup :( The prices to me seem a bit steep as well for food that's not all that great. The only positive thing I have to say about tonight's dining experience was the service.. Our server was friendly and attentive. The space of the restaurant is not half bad either. Will I come back..? Maybe once the "opening" hoopla dies down, and they get the food right. But I don't forsee it happening in the near future.

A: Lovely experience here tonight! Service was wonderful and was complimented by getting to meet the owner, Lindsey. She and her husband took it over from his family recently (not exactly sure when) to continue the family tradition. Food was tasty - I had pesto pasta and husband had garlic pizza plus a French onion soup and bruschetta. Atmosphere was quite nice on the patio and we enjoyed a delicious bottle of wine that was reasonably priced. We had the privilege of talking with Lindsay further and learning about their takeover after getting a summary from the menus which include an overview on key individuals in the history of Bread company, including Lindsay and the original owner, her mother in law.

Answer: Everyone should really get the opportunity to experience Ian's pizza. It's work of art...to be devoured, likely at the darkest hour of the night. If you're looking for traditional slices of pie, I'm sure you can find one or two here. But the real draw to Ian's are the creative concoctions. I think my new fav is the mac n' cheese pizza, which is their best selling slice, and for good reason. Loaded with cheese, this is your slice if you're from Wisconsin - or just a cheese lover. Other candidates for my hunger include the sausage penne alfredo, any of their BBQ slices, and the fajita. They also do monthly special creations such as the gyro or Chicago dog. Enough reading of my ramblings and go grab a slice. And eat one for me - I'm 971 miles away.

Output: My husband and I usually love it here, but our recent experience makes me question our loyalty. We know "holidays' can we a busier time, and we never usually go out on v-day, but because we love this place, we decided to go. They sat us in the bar area for dinner, so it was just pretty loud. They weren't particularly busy, so I am not sure why this was. Our server (didnt even get her name) was not friendly at all. She hardly came by our table, and then another server showed up at the end of our meal to pick up our plates that had been just sitting there for a while. It did seem like they were short staffed because we went to the cigar room and it was packed. The server/bartender in there was the only one, so she was less than pleasant also, but I suppose I might get frustrated trying to serve the needs of 30 plus people in a room and being the only one. Overall, I am not sure we would be back soon. The food was good, my husband had the ribeye and I had the crab cakes. If anything, we would go back for the food, but the usual atmosphere and service just kinda stunk.

output: My first Arepas and is was Viva Las Vegas good! I had to try this place after reading Craig R's review. I've never had an Arepas before so I was looking forward to trying it. This place is a stand alone shack on the corner at the end of the north side of the strip. Seriously its a shack, you cant miss it cuz it sticks out!!! They have some tables set outside so there are places to for you to eat there. Saw a few that just swung by and got it to go. An Arepa is a flat, round and soft patty made out of cornmeal, which is grilled, making it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and then it can be stuffed with beef, chicken, ham, cheese, beans, shrimp, and many more. These delights are gluten-free, and wheat-free. Aside from arepas (hot/cold) they also serve empanadas and hallacas which are like tamales. SInce I was having a really late dinner I decided to try 2 and got a #5 and #7 with a mango drink to wash is down. I sat down and waited about 10 min and the guy brought it out. #5 Roasted Pork Butt (Pernil) which is Slow Cooked Marinated Pork, Fresh Tomato Slices and cheese. Damn this was tasty good. Great flavored pork, tender and juicy. The cornmeal was grilled perfectly with a crisp! #7 Reina Pepiada which is Shredded Chicken Breast, Avocado, Mayonnaise, Cilantro, Green Peas. Was like a chicken salad as this was a cold version. They look small but they are actually pretty big and was only able to eat half of this one as I was totally full. The guy told me about the 2 homemade sauces they have on the table. One is green and a milder version but with a really good flavor. I would buy some of this good stuff. The red was obviously spicy and so I didn't really use it but it was good. This place may look questionable but let me tell you this is a great hole in the wall place to hit up when your in LV. It's way off the strip so you wont have to deal with lines and strip prices. They have great tasty food Eyes ~ Ok its on the corner and the seats are pretty much on the sidewalk. Nose ~ Not much to smell when your outside and the wind whipping! Ear ~ Cars cars cars! Mouth ~ Damn tasty arepas! Tummy ~ Stop stuffing more food mouth, I'm freaking full yo!

Went to this buffet years and years ago and then had a bad experience so stayed away until about three months ago. Then went back for the Sunday breakfast and was pleasantly surprised in the food and the service. Went back again for Sunday breakfast a month ago and the food quality was down but thought what the heck....give it another chance. So went for Sunday breakfast on Mothers Day and what a disappointment. The staff in the dining room could not have been nicer and that has never changed. They are all pleasant and nice and make sure your drinks are never empty and the plates are cleared off the table. BUT.......... The food quality was way down and the whole time we were there.....almost no staff behind the food stations and not one of them had a smile or nice comment for any of us. It was almost like they were having a fight with the dinning room staff and the staff behind the food stations did not want to be there. There was almost no fresh fruit.....lots of canned stuff but who wants that for breakfast? The pizza/roll station was pretty much empty and not a staff member to be seen behind the station. There were two very hard cinnamon rolls left and I finally found a staff member behind the station and asked when they would be putting out more food. Her response was....oh probably in about 5 min !!!!!! They finally put some more out but when I walked up I saw her drizzling them with the sugar coating so thought hey FRESH rolls !!! Not !!! They had been baked at least the day before, were cold, over cooked, and then they place them under the heat lamp to make you think they are fresh. Yikes !!!!! Tried the eggs Benedict next and if you only want to eat the egg and ham....they are ok. Did you know you can hold an english muffin in the kitchen somehow so that even a knife will not cut through them? They werent just tough.....they were solid. What can I say about the carving station. The brisket is the most dry and tough brisket I have ever had.....even botching it up at home. When I got there...there was just a little sliver of brisket left and no ham. Other people were coming up but the guy had walked away and wasnt serving anyone. Then when he came back...he pulled more brisket and ham out from under the station and started serving people again. We are locals and have our choice of where to go. We will not be going back here again for several more years. If you have a choice try another buffet for breakfast....it cant be as bad as this one.
