I hardly see my folks during the week, even though I live fairly close to them. So, we have decided to make Sunday nights our time to catch up and gossip about the family. Good times! I am also going to let them choose where we go, because I hate playing the let's try something new game with them. They like places that are tried and true... places they have heard of at least. So, one of those places is Tony Roma's. I have no problems with that, as I am not a food snob and I don't care about it being a chain. Just, as long as the food is decent and we get good service. Anyhow, here is my review for our experience last night. And, just in case you haven't read any of my other reviews, my folks love to eat early. 5 pm early!!! - I meet them in the parking lot where there are barely any cars. So, parking was obviously plentiful. - We make our way inside where we were greeted at the hostess stand. We were seated right away by the friendly hostess. - I usually head to the bathroom to wash up before dinner. I can be a bit of a germaphobe. The bathroom was clean, if that means anything. - I get back to the table at the same time our drink order was being taken and the specials were being read. And, we were given time to check out the menu. * Side note: I don't know how many other families are like mine but the banter of reading the menu is ridiculous. A lot of "Oooh! this looks good" and "Did you see this... I'm thinking about getting this" When in reality, I know you are just going to get some kind of steak with fries or a potato. - We order... you guessed it. Steaks with some kind of potato. Our soup and salads come out. We were checked up on quite a bit and were told that our steaks were going to take a while. I figured because, my aunt has to have hers burnt to a crisp. No sight of red... - Eventually our meals come out and the waitress asked us to cut them open to see if everything is alright. I like my meat bloody so I have no problems. My aunt asked them to fire hers up for a little longer. So, they took her steak back and was brought out again by one of the cooks to make sure it was fine... It was. - Now the part of the evening I hate the most... the silence while eating. There is nothing I hate more than the sound of food being eaten. It kind of grosses me out. Don't judge!!! - The bill came out to 120 bucks for the 4 of us, which consisted of our meals and a couple of drinks from the bar. We tip out 20%. I always make sure of it as I have worked in the service industry over my years. - As we were leaving the hostess grabs the door for us and asks us to come again. Overall it was a good night.

The most horrible indian food I have eaten after coming to US. Being in Las vegas does not mean that you can charge your customers a fortune for crappy food. The food tasted like the ones served in hospitals with no spices , no aroma and no flavor. Everything was just boiled and served. There are plenty of other options in vegas for indian food, please skip this useless place.

= = = = = = SUNDAY BRUNCH BUFFET! = = = = = = Five of us Yelpies got together today to give this friendly downtown spot a try today. The Buffet began with beverages including coffee, iced tea, cranberry juice and orange juice. Then it was on to breads including bagels, rolls, & a variety of other treats, along with various tasty sliced cheeses, cold cut meats including ham, turkey and others, plus a variety of fresh fruitsand desserty items. Over in the next room there were hot dishes including chaffers of scrambled eggs, homestyle potatoes, sausage links, bacon, biscuits and gravy and really good fried chicken! At one end of this second room were a couple of fellows cooking up waffles, and omelets with your choice of many items folded in. The first room has a few tables and stools, then the second room has a number of regular tables and chairs, as does the nice patio outside. I loved this place & think it's something special! :-)) Sunday Brunch Buffet $10, beer served, free Wi-Fi.
