Q: I went outside for several minutes and waited on the benches while my clothes were drying, and I came back in to discover that my laundry bag was thrown in the trash and my $13 detergent bottle was put in their lost and found. I could understand if it had been sitting their all afternoon, but seriously it hadn't even been some 15 minutes and there were barely any customers there. So it couldn't have been more obvious who they belonged to. And to think, this has happened twice now. I'll admit the place is clean, but they are also very expensive. Then again, I guess throwing away my laundry bag is part of the cleaning process, and having to buy a new one only adds to the expense of washing my clothes. Real logical.

Q: Had the Chicken Tikka Masala. It was good, although I definitely wish it could have been spicier, or that we were given the option to make it more or less spicy. I tried my friend's Tandoori chicken, and that was disappointingly dry, which was weird because my chicken basically fell apart when I poked at it with my fork. For some weird reason, the music that was playing seemed like a mix-tape of someone who was tripping pretty hard on acid while doing hot yoga. Not too keen on that, but, you know, don't sweat the small stuff. The rest of the place seemed pretty cool. My friend asked about the private rooms upstairs, and the waitress said that it seats 40 people, if anybody is interested in that. Portions are pretty decent, but definitely a little expensive for a poor college student like myself. I will most definitely be back during the wednesday night college specials (BOGO w/ student ID).

Q: Continuing on my Daniel Boulud kick, and since a group of us were going to be in Las Vegas for our annual holiday dinner (where every year we try a restaurant we've never been to), I bullied my friends into trying Daniel Boulud Brasserie. And everything was stellar (in contrast with the Manresa fiasco of '07, and even the lukewarm Bradley Ogden dinner of '08). We were seated promptly, per our reservation, with a fairly good view of the water feature outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, so we were entertained the entire evening. The service was just attentive enough, and well-trained, but unpretentious. And then there is the FOOD. All my worries that maybe this umpteenth Daniel Boulud restaurant wouldn't live up to original Daniel standards went out the window when we dug into our first courses. The seared foie gras wasn't the best I'd ever had, but it came pretty close and was a beautifully large, plump portion with yummy veggie fixings wading in a shallow pool of light broth/sauce. Indeed everything was generously portioned, from the Caesars salad down to the well-known Daniel Boulud braised short ribs (which was melt-in-your-mouth perfection paired deliciously with my favorite winder veggie, brussel sprouts, on a bed of parsnip puree). The ribeye-for-2 served along side bone marrow (both out-of-this-world good), two sauces and greens was too much for even two grown men with above average appetites! The combination of lobster with apple, celery and hearts of palm was a tasty success, as was the scallops with cauliflower three ways. And definitely save room for dessert. Great choices include the apple tatin (or anything tatin, I'm sure, since his tatins change seasonally), and the chocolate-peanut bombe. And what made it all the better was how we were welcomed with smiles by everyone, and made comfortable by the staff. Maybe it is just the nature of Las Vegas (versus NY), guaranteeing a much more diverse clientele, but It didn't appear that anyone was treated differently. Or maybe it was because I and most of my party were in cocktail attire, slightly dressier than the business casual I donned for Cafe Boulud. In any case, it was a great meal. It seems these days you can spend $100/person and still be disappointed. It's nice to know there are places like Daniel Boulud Brasserie, which was worth every penny.

Q: They have friendly staff but idk if it was because we were the last car but they didn't do a very good job. We purchased a full service wash which includes cleaning of inside and out .....The car was not vacuumed correctly and they didn't even wipe the inside or at least it looked like they didn't when I ran my hand across the dash board my hand was dusty my windows were not clean and on top of that we already had tipped them I will not be going back ever ..... what I paid for the work they did it was not worth it I could have done this my self the only reason they did get 2 stars was for the friendly staff .
