A: As the No1DP was staying at the Palazzo he passed by this restaurant a few times on his walk around the Venetian/Palazzo area and suggested this place as a possible dinner option. As we had wine as part of a "happy hour event" through the conference No1DP was attending, we talked to one of the line cooks about their menu and observed their open kitchen. Out of all the places we went to happy hour, this place impressed me enough to come back for dinner, so the No1DP promptly made dinner reservations later that night. CONCEPT/VENUE: The Venetian/Palazzo's fine dining option with an emphasis on "global water cuisine". Fancy schmancy way of saying upscale seafood. At the entrance to the restaurant there is a water-encased walk-in wine cellar. We both thought that this would be a perfect way to showcase their premium wines as the wines themselves were "hidden in plain sight" by the waterfalls and enticing potential customers to come inside. As we went inside No1DP wondered how much it would take to eat inside the wine cellar as there was a table that could seat two. No1DP and I were placed in the booth area where other couples were present. The booths provide a place to people-watch other diners in the tables while having a little area to ourselves. It was also easy for bussers and waiters to pass by without saying anything. SERVICE: Overall so-so. Service was good that silverware was replaced when a new dish was about to come out and that when you left your table, your napkin was remade for you. They were also quick to refill your wine glasses. The wait time between ordering our food and when the food actually came out was at least 20 minutes, and when the food finally came they gave No1DP the wrong dish, the Pacific Blue Prawns. We took a bite out of the prawns and thought it was good until No1DP realized that he ordered halibut. It took time to make another halibut and gave him a small salad for compensation as I ate my dish. No1DP liked his salad and the dressing. FOOD/DRINK Wine was a low-oak Chardonnay, which was chosen because our dishes consisted of fish with hearty sauces. Amuse was a very small "tuna salad" of sorts with a mushroom on outside. Mushroom was firm and tuna was lightly seasoned. Appetizer was a wild blue crab cake ($18): Chayote slaw, creole remoulade sauce. Crab cake was done perfectly as the crab fell apart after slicing it. Remoulade gave the crab a bit of spice and the vegetable medley on top sweetened the dish. My dish was a New Zealand john dory ($45): Lobster succotash, okra, wild mushrooms, sweet corn nage, black truffle. One of AquaKnox's signature dishes. The fish was soft, buttery and could easily be separated with a fork. Sauce was also delicious and went with the dish, made the fish a little more nutty. Sauce was heavy but not too heavy in that I could finish my dish. No1DP's real dish was a wild Alaskan halibut ($44): Lobster mashed potatoes, broccolini, piquillo pepper relish. I'm used to softer halibut and was a little disappointed in the texture, especially since I started realizing that I prefer fish with soft textures. No1DP did enjoy his fish as he's used to this type of texture for halibut and thought the sauce was delicious as well. Aside from the spotty service the No1DP and I enjoyed our experience here and I would recommend this place for fine dining/seafood if you want to stay in the Venetian area for dinner.

A: A group of us locals that come here often are quiet annoyed of recent changes here. Before, the Blue Martini was a fun weekly hangout for locals. Yesterday, we noticed that the bouncers were being very "selective" in allowing people in. We were a group of Asians dressed in button shirts with dressy adidas shoes on. He told us we weren't allowed in because they were adidas', despite that they were black and dressy shoes and we are locals. He was very rude and in our face about leaving. Yet, right after denying us entry, we saw him let in guys in tshirts and dirty converse shoes. We use to come here often and have spent thousands of dollars here. Never again because this place is getting a snobby strip feel and worst, almost racist feel to it!!! Try Nu Sanctuary instead:)

Answer: Not even sure how this place came onto my radar, but I am glad it did! We went with a small gaggle of people, and it was a blast! We ordered a bunch of the "hot apps" - honestly, was not that impressed with this part of the menu. Calamari was kind of blah, the salad was nothing impressive. We had high hopes for the fried bacon chips. And they were fine, not amazing. Do not be discouraged- This was a small speed bump in an over-all great night. The fun really began when we started getting the food that we cook at the small gas grill in the middle of the table! The marinades are awesome, the process is perfect for interactions, conversation, and nibbling! LOVED the Pork Belly and short ribs! The Garlic shrimp was great too- Order a couple, there are only 4. We threw some asparagus and shishito peppers on, YUM! Plus a bunch of other meats. This is a perfect spot for a quiet romantic dinner or a small group of friends. A great addition to the LV! Here is my tip- Ask for the Happy Hour menu! It is from 6PM-10:30PM Same food, just a little break on the price.

Output: I tried to go here last night; party of five. The hostess told us that it would be an hour and 45 minutes before we could be seated, even though there were only a couple of people waiting and there were a few tables inside and all but two tables outside were being used. No problem, we went downstairs to RA and had a great meal.

output: I love this place- Yummy Stuff.... The fried rice is chow down good and for $0.25 you get a side of Siracha - mix that baby in with your fried rice- Ohhh Baby... I like the create your own fried rice concept however there isn't much to chose from- pineapple,cabbage,broccoli and bean sprouts. I think this place should offer many selections like carrots,mushrooms,chinese sausage,spam(us Guamanians love our spam fried rice!!!) Ohh even crab... I did suggest my thoughts to the owner. The Yakisoba here is just as good- the noodles turn out semi crisp on the ends and the Yakisoba noodles and sauce is sooo good. The BF said this is the best Yakisoba he has had in his whole life. The Spicy pork bowl is hella good too. You do get your moneys worth of food- she isn't stingy with her servings... The owner is a very fiesty pleasent lady who says she has owned a big restrauant before and then retired. Then I think like most retired people she got tired of doing nothing so she opened Teri Woki. She said she serves what she would serve her family at home. I like her.... she is in no rush to change up too much because she said she will work at a slow pace while still enjoying life!!!!

Jose, Naira, and Kiyanna are always so welcoming. Naira remembers me buying my house all the way back in 2010 and asked how it was and Jose was quickly to say hi how are you! I only frequent the bank once a monthly maybe and for them to remember was pretty surprising and appreciated.
