Problem: I think this place is fantastic. I live right around the corner from Kafe 440 and this location has had about 6 or 7 restaurants in the past 3-4 years. I hope Kafe 440 is there to stay. Breakfast: I've only had the pancakes and they are very good. I've brought a number of family and friends and each has thought the breakfast was good. Lunch: This is why I give the place 5 stars. I've had pretty much every sandwich on the menu and everything is fantastic. I think the pesto chicken sandwich is the best, but I also really like the Cuban. And any place that has sweet potato fries is ok in my book. Within the past week, Kafe 440 has changed their hours. they are only open for breakfast on the weekends, and during the week they have extended their hours until 8p. (11-8p I think) They said they will have add'l items on the menu for dinner. I'm hoping dinner is as good as lunch. Edit to add: Went in for breakfast this morning and it is now closed down. There is a sign on the door that the landlord has taken over as of 6/1. Boo

Problem: Dined there last weekend with some friends and we were utterly disappointed. Not impressed one bit. I don't understand how this restaurant received such high ratings, but I certainly would not go back nor would I recommend to anyone. From the food, the service, the ambiance - huge let down. I would've given this place an additional star if the service wasn't so terrible. The server was slow and was more interested in chatting. Also, we waited at least 30 min to get our entrees(they didn't even seem busy). After our table was cleared from apps and salads, we waited 20+ min before calling our server to check up on our food. She said it was still within the "window" and she couldn't do anything. Luckily, she spoke to her manager after another 5-10 min because that's when our food was "officially late." What we had (from what I can recall): BBQ Shrimp - shrimps were cooked unevenly and drowned in mediocre BBQ sauce. Some were cooked well, but mine was under. Vine-Ripened Tomato Salad - nothing special Baked Crab Stuffed Lobster - lobster tail cooked well, but tough to eat and nothing amazing NY Strip - no flavor Filet - nice crust from the Essence stuff Sauteed Garlic Mushrooms - standard Potato Gratin - bit on the dry side Creamed Corn Gratin - best side order we had on the table, but that doesn't mean much. Dessert: Sorbet, banana cream pie, apple fritters, key lime pie. The desserts and our bottle of wine were probably the highlight of this dinner. If you are looking for a good steakhouse on the strip, this is NOT the place. You'll probably have better luck at Mastro's, Stripsteak, Prime, or Craftsteak.

Problem: Very disappointed after reading the Review Journal write up today. It's under " Cookies might be too good to be true" Red Velvet claims there cookies are 27 cal each. Come to find out they were tested and they are 157cal per cookie. I was referred by a friend and also referred many people to Red Velvet. I can't believe I was paying 6.00 for a pack of cookies claiming to be 162 cal total and they were 942 cal and paying 1.00 a cookie! I've spent hundreds of dollars at this establishment and I'm sure there are many other people who have also. I even sent these desserts to my mother in law who is a diabetic. I really hope there is a furthur investigaion. I can't imagine how bad the rest of the food is. People go here and spend a lot of money thinking they are getting low calorie, healthy, diabetic friendy food and instead your getting scammed.
