| Nikki is AWESOME and so was this event. The Blue Moon glasses are def going to be used and the #YelpEliteTowel as my Elite gift was unexpected and super soft. Ok, so on to the meat and potatoes.... The Improper Pig was my first Elite event and has set the bar extremely high. I had no idea the hospitality of the fellow Yelpers would be so much like family. The food was like tastebud ADD! There were so many yummy things to taste and boy did I taste ALL of them!!! NOM NOM. I look forward to hanging out with everyone at more events in the future. |

| I asked my boyfriend how to start my review. He said \"Oh, it was really good!\"\n\nLot's to love at the Improper Pig including the hipster decor and irreverent name. \n\nService was very gracious and we were able to sample an impressive percentage of the new menu including three different tasty beers that went down quite nicely.\n\nLots of variety, including salads, apps, sides, meat and dessert.\n\nI enjoyed seeing the new faces, but thanks for including me as well Nikki!\n\nThe food flew out of the kitchen and the best bets for me were the brussel sprouts, the best sweet potato mash I've ever had, pimento cheese sandwich, juicy chicken and the pulled pork.\n\nThe stuffed jalapenos were also good and packed quite a bite.\n\nThe Improper Pig combined Asian flair with a Southern sentiment. We appreciated the expected combinations like collard and sweet potato in a spring roll.\n\nThe Pizza Peel is a classic in Cotswold and this offering from the same restaurant group seems poised for the same future. |

| Loved this event!! Food was amazing cannot wait for the opening Wednesday! I like how the yelp events give back and Nikki collected food donations for Second Harvest Food Bank. It's nice to meet new people and everybody is super friendly and fun. |

| I've only been to Nacho Daddy once and it was fantastic! I ordered the filet mignon carne asada nachos and a raspberry margarita. The nachos were delicious. The chips are nice and thin and fresh, the cheese was melted, not a cheese sauce, and there was just a little bit of heat. I also liked the smokey flavor that I think came from the meat. These nachos are easily big enough to share. The margarita was amazing. It didn't taste like a margarita from a gross bar. It tasted fresh and fruity and the flavors were balanced. \n\nI also had the flan, which was great. It was a little firmer than I am used to, but really great. \n\nI sat at the bar and enjoyed the videos from my high school days and the friendly service from Tyson (Tyler?) and the other bartender, who was fantastic. |

| I've heard a lot about this place and nachos are my life so we went in with really high expectations, so maybe that's why my dinner was so meh. \nI ordered the Daddy's Margarita and that was awesome!!!!\nAlso good? The bottomless chips and salsa. Everything was pretty blah from there.\n\nI got the Tostada nacho appetizer for dinner. The seasoning on the meat was like...they tried to do Mexican flavors but got confused or were missing the right spices and used something else. It was just weird. And I totally appreciate super loaded nachos... these were just too much. \n\nMy husband got the buffalo chicken nachos and got approximately 3 tiny pieces of buffalo chicken on them. \n\nThank god for the bottomless chips and salsa or we probably would've gone hungry. \n\nOur server was great and had an awesome sense of humor, so that helped. I'm glad we went and tried it out, but I don't think we'll be going back. |

| Nacho Daddy is good.... I ate at the one on Freemont Street, and this place is just or better. Great staff and very clean , they took over the old Fire Fly location. It's a cool little bar/sports place.\n\nI just came here on Sunday to watch the game and eat, I ordered the big daddy burrito... im sad it wasn't worth the money, it was the size of a del taco burrito for the price it's not worth it, it should be on the appetizer menu.. im sad and still hungry.... today was a waste of money... always order the nachos they are worth the money. ..... |

| We ate at this new restaurant yesterday - Saturday - about 2:00 pm. \n\nSO MANY reasons why we will never go back there.\n\n1 - With a name like Nacho Daddy, I would expect that the place would offer a lot more with respect to Nachos - build your own, nacho bar, etc. This restaurant had none of that - at least we didn't see it. Our group did order one order of nachos - enchilada style - YUCK - so little melted cheese - you could barely see it. Not great. \nSent back to kitchen to add a few beans and it took almost 20 minutes - the table was done eating by the time the order came - note: the restaurant had less than 50 people in it...\n\n2 - Being a new restaurant in this area, they should be better. Surely there was a manager on duty - but not once did he/she ever walk around and check each table to see how the meal/experience was going...\n\n3 - The chips and salsa and guac ($10) was good - but we will not be back ever.\n\n4 - One person in our party ordered a bowl with beans/chicken - it was delivered on a black rectangular plate- HORRIBLE presentation - very unappetizing. Although the chicken had good flavor. For the $, it was not much food though. How much do black beans/rick really cost you, Nacho Daddy? Don't mind you making a profit, but you do need to reevaluate your menu pricing. A little out of line - you have to compete with Chipotle and Cafe Rio just a block away - yes, they are fast casual and Nacho Daddy is not - but families that don't care about drinking a margarita or beer will not be interested in your restaurant more than once, based on your current menu.\n\n5 - 3 people ordered a meal/iced tea and 2 had only chips/guac/salsa/tea -- our bill was $70 (before tip without bar drinks). For lunch, that is ridiculous. \n\nWe will go down the street another block and go to Cafe Rio - it's fast casual, but quality food and fresh ingredients - and the entire meal for us would have been closer to $35...\n\nI'm placing my bet now - Nacho Daddy's will never make it at this location. |

| Menu is a tex-mex hybrid featuring unique takes on nachos and Mexican fare.\n\nShared the bbq chicken nachos with the husband. The bbq flavor has a great sweet and savory combo with a slight chili powder dimension that is great to eat! The black beans, corn and white cheese go well with the succulent chicken. Although it was a great change to traditional nachos, we did miss the sour cream and guac you expect to find with nachos.\n\nWe will more than likely head back to another one of the Nacho Daddy locations. |

| Bland. Chips and salsa is okay. Having shrimp fajitas and they have no taste. Shrimp could not only be cooked more have some flavor. Onions and peppers are soggy and on top of this the rice has no taste and the beans taste like paste. \n\nWell I tried worth the trip to the strip and El Segundo. |
23 stars
| Ok so the nachos were really good. My son and I shared the tostada nachos supreme, and I had the fish tacos. The fish in the fish tacos was tasteless and undercooked, now with that being said I've had some of the best and freshest fish tacos from around the world. Service was mediocre at best, they messed up my order then the server comes out and tells me that I can't have fish taco without the beans and rice. Overall it was ok and I might try it again.....maybe. |

| Love the atmosphere, loved the staff, but the food was lacking. \n\nWe got there for Monday Night Football and grabbed a great seat by the bar. We immediately ordered the Mexican Corn and the Spicy Shrimp Nachos. The corn was okay. Definitely over cooked or had been cooked and sitting out a while. The nachos were horrid. For $17 you get maybe 4-5 medium shimp cut up into smaller pieces. The chips were SO greasy!!!! For $17 I was expecting more. The worst part is that I've been up since 3am with food poisoning from the under cooked shrimp. I should have known by looking at them. \n\nThe staff is the only reason I gave two stars. Attentive and genuine. I so badly wished the food was better. I'll gladly go elsewhere, pay half that price and get 5 star nachos. |

| I always jeered at the prospect of going to a restaurant that specialized in nachos. I would hear stories of my friend who would praise Nacho Daddy on his side of town for hours on end. I was so close to going the one Downtown, however I was recalled home prematurely by my significant other.\n\nThis time. This time, it was DESTINY! My friends and I counted the days to opening when we first saw it was coming to our side of town. The the time came. We sat, we ate, we got full. We left happy.\n\nThis place was awesome. Great ambiance. Awesome Servers. Insane menu! The prices may be a tiny bit higher than what we usually spend, but totally worth it.\n\nI got the \"Fiesta Chicken Nachos\" with my now infamous custom order of Diet Cherry Coke. \n\nBoth were spot on. The Nachos were very tastey. When they came, I didn't know how to attack it. I accidently got a little bit of cheese on my finger and when sucked my finger clean, it hit me! My first bite of Nacho Daddys. It was epic.\n\nThe Fiesta Chicken Nachos was very creamy, very rich (but not too rich) and there was definitely enough for me to take it home if I was sensible that day. But I wasn't. I DESTROYED the plate and it was glorious!\n\nI swear up and down that it tasted like I was hitting pockets of CHOCOLATE in my nachos. As crazy as that sounds and as gross as the prospect may be, it was good!\n\nOur server was astute and prompt. For being open for only a few days when we visited, the place was well put together and on the ball. \n\nI highly recommend this place.\n\n- Clean\n- Spacious\n- Music Videos playing, Sports playing, TVs everywhere. |

| I wanted to like this place, I really did. \n\nPros: \nPrompt service\nGood margaritas\nFriendly atmosphere\n\nCon's:\nNoisy kids\nSub par nachos\nPrice\n\nMy nachos were just okay. They were chicken nachos and it was a constant scavenger hunt trying to locate meat. They should've been called 'bean nachos with a chicken surprise'. My date ordered some beef nachos, and this is where the 2 stars come in, his were great! Very flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The margaritas we ordered were very strong and a little sweet which made them perfect. At $60 for 3 drinks and 2 sets of nachos, definitely not worth it. I actually felt like Roberto's food had more flavor and I hate them. |

| Honestly- don't waste your time. Way overpriced & even the water tastes bad. I had a veggie burger- the only thing good about it was the onion I had added on .\nSodas are $3.50. Really? My brother says the nachos are mediocre (Rubio's nachos are better). My mom was non plussed by the enchiladas! Keep on movin past this one! |
23 stars
| This was our second attempt at Nacho Daddy. I looooove the green sauce on the enchiladas. I also tried a chicken burrito. However, this place's water tastes WEIRD. Like old or stale?\n\nThe service was good, the Mexican corn appetizer was good too! \n\nI just don't know if it impressed us enough. There are a lot of amazing Mexican places in Vegas. If you're interested, I'd recommend just trying it out for yourself. |
23 stars
| You know, it wasn't bad. It wasn't great. It was busy, but it wasn't packed. Service could have been wonky. But our Server was a CHAMP and made the whole experience AWESOME! \nNot to say the food was bad, it was just Meh... But the confusing part was, 2 burritos, 1 nacho plate and 2 beers and it was like $100. That seemed kinda high. And although it seemed kinda high, we still had a GREAT time! Most people won't let Management know about great service, however on our way out, I made sure I let the MOD know what a great Server we had and what a great time we had because of him! |
45 stars
| I really liked this place. The service was on point and the food came out quickly. I really appreciate the vegan menu items that's more than just salad. I had the vegan nachos and it was very tasty. I would totally go back to try more of the items, especially the ones with tofu.\nIt was kinda pricey...but it seems that's normal for the majority of Mexican places like Lindo or Frank and Fina. I ordered 3 dishes (vegan nachos, bean& cheese burrito, and a burger), dessert and a soda and the check was $53.\n\nI'd say give this place a try, you'll be in love with the food. If the price bothers you, then try their happy hour menu on Monday through Saturday from 3pm-6pm. |

| My coworkers wanted to eat at Nacho Daddy for annual our work Christmas dinner & after hearing so much hype about the downtown location - I decided to give it a try. (I figured Summerlin location would be just as fun as downtown). I tried to make reservations for our larger party in advance twice, each time my phone number was taken and they said a manager would call me, which did not ever happen. I finally called again a few days before our planned outing and just made a regular reservation, no manager approval needed. I realized it's probably a lot more casual than I was picturing.\n\nAfter we got there the servers and hostess were super nice and accommodating however the food itself was not great (I'd rather eat nachos from Robertos or KoMex) and I am not sure if it is because of where we were sitting or the fact there were other large parties there, but half my party ordered extras (like sour cream or guacamole) and it didn't come until the end of the meal, after they had eaten most or all of their food.\n\nThe name Nacho Daddy is cute and the thought behind the food and menu was better than the food itself. The prices were reasonable (my bill was half of what I had budgeted on spending on our party) but I do not plan on returning there again. After hearing feedback from my staff in the office the next week their sentiments were the same. |

| We wanted something different for take out last night. After looking at the menu online, I called and ordered a Mexican Street burger and a Cuban sandwich. I ordered both with garlic parmesan fries one of the sides that comes with the sandwiches. I was told 15 minutes and that was about exactly right although I was thjere early because they're so close to where I live.\n\nMy wife enjoyed the Mexican burger and the fries very much. My sandwich was good but it's not a Cuban sandwich. It's pulled pork and a slice of ham with some cheese on a toasted baguette and not a pressed sandwich as every authentic Cuban sandwich should be. I liked the fries.\n\nThe packing for take out was good. It was firm plastic but on the cold day we had, it wasn't the best insulator. It wasn't a good day for takeout for most places with the cold.\n\nThe sandwiches were OK but nothing I'd get again. Pricey for what you get. Too many good places around. |
12 star
| Tried this place for something different. Like some other reviews, don't waste tour money. Very overpriced for what you get. The service was good..the food, not bad but there are other great options for less. Most likely great for some drinks and overpriced appetizers. |

| Videos playing were the best part. Service was pretty good. Food way,way overpriced for mediocre taste at best. Wife was surprised I brought him here after trying it once before. Gave it two shots, won't be back. |

| I found this place through groupon. I will probably never return. the store is pretty, but the actual service has been sub par. \n\nI got an eye exam & 2 pairs of glasses. from the time of my exam to the time I got both pairs of glasses was 3 weeks 5 trips total with 2 cancellations on their part. I have politely requested an itemized receipt 4 times in person & have called in 4 times after receiving my frames just for this receipt. I have not received my receipt or any follow up phone calls. \n\ni've been wearing glasses for over 20 years & it has never taken so long to receive my frames. while I am satisfied with my actual frames & lenses. I think my overall experience has been unsatisfactory. next time I will go to lenscrafters where the service is faster & I know I will get an itemized receipt. |
12 star
| Although the restaurant was very clean with decent service, it was very pricey for some mediocre food and bland hot chocolate.\nWe and a couple of friends ordered the three fruit crepes with warm compote, chicken fettuccine, and chicken fried steak. \n\nCrepes- Weren't too satisfied with the artificial flavored syrup and coloring.\n\nChicken Fettuccine- Chicken was lacking seasoning, not very tasteful.\n\nWe don't believe we would return back here in the near future. |
12 star
| The food was alright, eggs not cooked all the way but biscuits and gravy was great., however the service was terrible with late food and drinks halfway through the meal, wrong drinks. I would never come to this place again thanks to the service. |

| I love this new location so much \nThe only reason I don't like the location on decatur and Charleston is that the workers there are always in a rush and don't really care about there job. At this new location the workers there are super nice and look clean (if that makes any sense). I never know what to order so I asked the waiter what she recommends i only knew I wasn't pancakes and she suggested the potato pancakes. My first thought is yea sure lets see how this goes. My mother always orders the same thing fresh fruit creeps . \n\nWhen my order came the pancakes look like hash brown. I knew I was going to like it because I love anything made with potato. But these pancakes where amazing. I tried it with Apple sauce and cream cheese. But I enjoyed it with maple syrup. It's like hash brown but sweeter. I will order only this from now on. \n\nI love the cleanliness of the restaurant And how it looks and feel like a house . The pies look amazing in the entrance. |

| Don't waste your time or money, a better meal can be found at burger king next door. My sister sent back the turkey dinner because it smelled disgusting and unhealthy. The chicken salad was completely flavorless but maybe I could have tasted it if they put more than one tablespoon of chicken salad on the bread. Although the little bit of it that I had tasted like clean water. The chili, total garbage...it advertised meat and beans in the coli but I have yet to find meat.\nNeedless to say, I recommend eating someplace else |

| Good food with new flavored! Changed name from Pak & Afghan Grill to Tahoora. Beef/chicken sheesh Kabab masala is the best! |

| We had a late lunch at the new Grape Wine Bistro this week and were very pleased about the entire experience. The menu, which is evolving, consists of interesting dishes, well prepared and presented. We split a burger which was on the daily special menu. It was delicious - moist and full of flavor. \nWe also appreciated the staff and found them to be responsive and friendly. The new manager, Ryan Rodrigues, made a point of greeting us on arrival and asking us after the meal about the food and service. \nWe look forward to experiencing new menu choices as they are added.\nMarc and Kristin Bailes |

| One of the best costumer services I have ever encounter. Working in the costumer service field for many years I completely understand hospitality and people skills. These guys on the other hand just had it completely natural. Treating every guest as if they are family. Being honest with you and very straight forward. These guys know just how to run a business. I went in not knowing to much about what kind of fish I could have in a reef tank and they taught me so much over the course of about an hour. I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted with out feeling as though I was bothering. Not to mention if they didn't have a fish I was looking for or coral they were willing to go the extra mile to get it on for me. The prices were great I couldn't ask for a better deal all there fish were extremely heathy. I have no complaints if I could offer these guys more stars I would. I will be returning for more purchases! |

| Went here for dinner with my family tonight. Rave reviews for the hamburger, turkey burger, hot dog (Cheedog), fries, onion rings and shakes!! Great service! Pricier than other burger locations nearby, but the quality and burger size is better. So many menu options -- salads, wraps, platters, ice cream, shakes, etc. Go check this place out. You won't regret it! ;) |

| Was looking forward to a new place I heard that serves good burgers. At the very beginning I knew I was not going to be happy with the service. The server had to repeatedly asked how we ordered each of our burgers and fries. \nNow about the food one of the burgers only covered half of the bun on top of that was cold. They also had no flavor what so ever. Took two bites and was done it was so small. The other burger that was the same size as my burger as ordered was twice as big and also cold. My other friend ordered the pounder which is no bigger than any other large burgers in town and was very dry not cooked to order.\nAll three of us also ordered french fries the fries came out cold and needed seasoning but in all the best thing they had. I ordered the onion rings they were some of the best in town.\nWe sat for nearly 15 minutes waiting to get our bill for our meal. Should have had it when we were done when the server cleared the table.\nOverall not happy with the place for what one gets all round. |

| Oh where to begin... When we first arrived we were seated quickly in a too tight dining area. My husbands chair was up against another customers chair. There is no way to maneuver to get to your table so forget getting up to go to the bathroom because you will disrupt the diners around you. We started w/3 waters with lemon. Our server brought the waters .... no lemon. We had to remind him twice to bring the lemon. \n\nThe 1/3lb burger is tiny at best, the meat is about the size of a slider but the bun is a regular size burger bun. A Mcdonald's cheeseburger from their dollar menu is bigger. So I ordered a classic burger w/mayo/let/mushrooms cooked medium, My daughter had a classic burger cooked medium well w/mayo/let only. My husband ordered the pounder and he ordered the \"best of both\" with fries and onion rings. My daughter and I opted to share a med. fries only. \n\nMy burger arrived w/no mushrooms, my daughter's burger was blood rare and we did not get the fries we ordered. The \"best of both\" was mediocre at best. The breading used on the onion rings has no flavor and tastes blah so they probably only use flour on them without any type of seasonings. My husbands fries were heavily coated w/pepper and appeared old so he didn't even eat them. \n\nI did send both mine and my daughters burger back to be fixed. It took a while for the food to be returned, I also did inquire about the missing order of fries. The server said \"oh sorry\" I guess I forgot to order them. So about 15 mins. later and my daughter and I had finished our mini me burgers, we received fresh hot fries that had not been seasoned at all which was probably a good thing because at least they were edible, but again nothing special. So all in all I would not recommend this place to anyone!! It's also kind of pricey. I received better service and tastier food at Smash burger and it's only a block further. I will travel the extra block. \n\nThis place may do better on the strip especially considering their higher prices and visitors would probably flock to it's doors not knowing any better. But as local, it's definitely worth my time to drive somewhere where I will get better service and food for my money!! |

| Ok so we decided to try out Cheeburger Cheeburger, and if you love kids then this place is for you. Not only is the service slow they also messed up our order. The manager of the place is timid and does not approach problem tables and only go to ones with no problems. Just sitting here and watching numerous issues among other tables and how long food took to get served. Not sure we will be back. |
01 star
| They have a lot to learn. We opted to try this new burger place but will never know how the food is. Talk about slow that is an understatement. It was so slow we never did receive our food. After waiting an hour after our order was taken we walked out. Now I heard excuses before but to say your food takes longer because it is so fresh holy cow! Because you must have been slaughtering the cow onsite and grinding the meat. Next time check on your customers more often, then offer the truth when you realize you screwed up. Don't send a manager after the customer asked about their food 20 minutes ago and tables around them that received their orders before yours when yours was placed a good 15 minutes before. Amazing Smashburger down the street had our fresh cooked burgers to us in 8 minutes. A lot to learn. |

| I ate at the original location on Sanibel Island in the late 80s. I can't remember what I thought of the place back then.\n\nFast forward to 2014...\n\nOrdered two burgers cooked medium. They came out well done and had zero taste. I loved the toppings but for a better burger at a better price, I'll stick with Five Guys. It blows this place away. |
01 star
| The food was good be service was very slow. We ordered a shake waited 15 mins before we learned the main ingredient was out of stock. Our food made it to the table still no shake since we changed the shake order. A table was sat near us was never greeted got tired of waiting they left without eating at all. At the end we sat just waiting to pay so we could leave over all not a good experience may not go back. |

| 1. Decor of a 50's diner. \n2. Riff raff clientele \n3. Took forever to get waited on. \n4. Another eon to get the food. \n5. Young portly tattooed waiter obviously didn't know what he was doing. \n6. Salad ordered by my wife. How can you screw up a salad? Well, some lettuce leaves had brown spots, that's how. \n7. Sweet potato fries had been sitting for awhile before being served, kinda soggy. \n8. Make up your own burger. So I did, so maybe it was my fault it tasted like some fool had put it together. \n9. Is there a minus star rating? |

| I expected more from this place, especially being pregnant and craving anything and everything in sight. I expected that a place with the word \"burger\" in it twice would have blow-your-mind burgers. The burgers were OK and the buns were just disappointingly hard and uninspiring.\n\nVery much enjoyed the dutch chocolate milkshake. In fact, I've been craving it ever since having it. There are about a million milkshake flavors I want to try there but since the first one I had was so amazing I don't think I'd ever choose anything else. But I don't want to make a special trip back to this place for an average burger and an awesome milkshake. \n\nThe service was OK, I guess. A TON of very young workers kind of walking around like chickens without heads. \n\nI think there are some kinks to work out. I prefer Five Guys... or Red Robin... or a long list of other burger joints besides this place. |

| Watered down milkshakes, the place smells like the nail salon next door, Egg Cream was EXTREMELY small along with too much soda. Liked the fry seasoning but they were under cooked. Long wait time for our food. Given the burger competition on Eastern Ave., the space will be vacant by Summer. |

| First one I've seen since living in Colorado so I was excited. Disappointment followed quickly.\n\n\nRestaurant was empty besides the register employee friends so obviously I sat there for 20 minutes without anyone saying anything.\n\nOnce he came over he asked asinine questions. I think he may be a little slow.\n\nPrices matched my spectacular service. \n\n\nOrdered:\nPatty melt-$8.99\nLarge fry- 4.99\nAnd an original shake-5.69\n\nTotal: $21.26\n\nThis place sucks. Stay away. |

| Wow.. I can't believe there's more than one of these bad boys. Two stars is very generous. \n\nI don't often write reviews immediately after dining, but these gem deserves special attention. I went the original location years ago, and have no memory of what I had or how it was (clue #1). I've explored just about every restaurant near my job, and I was excited to try something new. I was expecting a fast food joint, but to my surprise I walked into a colorful 50s style diner. \n\nEverything on the menu is a la carte, so I settled on a patty melt and medium fries. It took about 15 minutes to get our food which is decent for 12pm, however, I was completely underwhelmed. The patty melt was nearly tasteless and the fries were similar to Five Guys with less seasoning. It wasn't terrible, but for $8.99 (cost of the patty melt) I can get a complete meal up the street that I'd actually enjoy. \n\nSkip this joint. Instead try Freddy's, Smashburger, Wendy's.. even McDonald's. Yup, it's that bad. |

| 1 star for food , 2nd star for our waitress . This place is ok . Came here for a dinner with the family we are from L.A and I have always heared this place is awesome well no its not . Our order was all wrong and our burgers were undercooked. Took over an hour for our food and the fries and onion rings were discusting with grease dripping off . \n\nLoud and noisy \nCrammed seating \nFreezing inside \nThe hostess was pulling up her pants the whole time when she was walking around seating people her pants were falling and she was pulling them up by the belt buckle holes and her pants were ripping on the thigh from pulling so hard ! |

| This is a cute 50s-style diner. And, shockingly, they specialize in burgers. But never fear, if you aren't a burger eater, you'll find appetizers, salads, hot dogs, and chicken on the menu too. \n\nIt's small-ish, so you may have to wait if it's crowded. Lots of 50s decors to look at. Standard set-up with booths lining the walls and tables in the middle.\n\nOur server was friendly and attentive. Food is brought out by other staff and not your assigned server, and we noticed this resulted in some issues with food being brought to the wrong tables.\n\nThe big thing here - and the best part of dining here - is that you can design your own milkshake and your own burger. Like you can go crazy with the different possible combinations. \n\nCreating a milkshake was my favorite part. I went with a white chocolate M&M malt. It was seriously delicious! That said, though, it was not exactly the best quality or particularly well-made.\n\nWith the burgers, you choose the size (1/4 lb. to 1 lb.), the bun (just two options for bun), the cheese, and then any number of toppings. Some toppings like bacon cost extra. And while it's not listed on the menu, you can go for a 2 lb or 3 lb burger. \n\nIf you eat a \"pounder\", you get your picture taken with a giant stuffed burger and they put it up on the wall. James O., naturally, couldn't resist this challenge. \n\nI loved designing my own burger. Hint: Banana peppers are very tasty on a burger! However, the burger themselves weren't really anything to write home about. Just regular old burgers with not really any flavor or juiciness.\n\nYou can order your burger (and some other options like chicken and whatnot) as a platter, so it comes with fries or whatever side. Or you can order them a la carte and get a basket of fries or onion rings (or combo of both) to share. We opted to get a basket of fries and share. The fries were...well, fries. Good enough to eat. Nothing worthy of stuffing oneself with them or craving them. They also offer a variety of overpriced dipping sauces. While all were superior to regular old ketchup, none were exactly tasty.\n\nAll in all, this is a fun place. And my experience here was way better than a few years ago at their other Vegas location. Definitely family-friendly. And can even be a fun date spot. Go crazy creating fun milkshake and burger combinations. Do the eating challenge and devour a pounder. Just don't expect the best burger you've ever had. |

| Oy, listen up, don't go here. Seriously, stay away, if you know what's good for you. \nBecause if you show up, and I'm there, I'll pummel you. \n(How's my drug lord impression coming across?) \n\nBut seriously, this place is small, too small for us all to partake, and if everyone knows how absolutely amazing it is, they will all come buzzing around like flies to a carcass. Ok, ok, enough of the violent gang imagery. They invited it, though. And they're all men who work here. The owner, who was eating there when my friend and I were, is young. A bit too young, if you catch my meaning. \n\nSo the food. Yep, it's spicy as hell, delicious, with combinations I haven't seen since getting tapas in San Francisco. Good tequila menu. The ceviche and guac starters got us whet, and the tacos finished the job. So, yes, bravo. |

| I was on a mission to try this new restaurant. After having spoken with a fellow foodie I had learnt that El Cartel make everything fresh by hand. Which meant they make fresh tortillas by hand !! This is a big deal. They also don't use the usual, masa harina but blue corn which is much more flavoursome. I was sold. It's been practically impossible to find this level of freshness with Mexican food in Edinburgh, I had to try it ASAP!\n\nWe trucked along, to the old tex mex 2 location and were sat in a lovely booth. I was very impressed with the music selection, it's not everyday (or ever) that you hear souls of mischief in public these days.\n\n The menu is very minimal but everything is cooked fresh, prepared to order. We ordered the guacamole & plantains, which were light and crispy. The guacamole had a little spice but nothing my toddler couldn't stand and was topped with fresh and sweet pomegranate seeds. Very lovely with the avocado pieces, and chunks of Mexican cheese (maybe cotija? A crumbly and light not very overpowering cheese) everything very fresh and tasty. And spot on taste wise.\n\nThe tacos were very good, each pair comprising of many different toppings. The steak had salsa verde some kind of cabbage and spring onions . The tortillas were very tasty, they had this nice earthy corn taste that you don't get from the store bought ones. Very authentic indeed. \n\nThe carnitas pibil was spicier but also very tasty. The pork is roasted with ancho chilies and quite literally smothered in a red onion escabeche but seemed more pickeled to me. Either way very flavourful and delightful. We all enjoyed every bite.\n\nReally impressed and hope that this place does really well as the food is excellent and it is quite nice to eat homemade tortillas! |

| I was driving through Mt. Lebanon at lunchtime and saw a new sign on Washington Rd. I'm glad I stopped to investigate because I was in for a delicious surprise! \n\nThe Simple Greek is essentially a Greek food version of Chipotle and Qdoba (with all the same greatness!) You can build a pita, a salad, or a bowl with rice, vegetables, sauces, and meats to your own liking. I had a gyro meat rice bowl with delicious sour cream tzatziki sauce, green beans and potatoes in red sauce, and fresh veggies on top. I was so excited that I could decide what flavors to put together! They really make it to suit you--when I asked to try both types of rice in my bowl, the man making my meal was perfectly willing to split it down the middle to make it just the way I wanted it.\n\nAdditionally, the staff there was wonderful! I really appreciated that they took the time to explain what was in everything because, as someone with multiple food allergies, I hate to be surprised. Also, the woman in line behind me was asking about the vegetarian options on the menu and the man assisting her seemed very accommodating to her too. Each person I talked to seemed genuinely happy that I was there to eat, and that is always a plus in my book!\n\nThe atmosphere is welcoming, the place looks clean and well-maintained, and I'm eager to recommend it to all of my friends! |

| I saw The Simple Greek on the tv show, The Profit, and decided to give it a shot tonight. The menu was nice and simple. You have the option to get their gyros as a bowl, instead of the traditional pita, which they offer you white or wheat. They had about eight different toppings to add to your gyro as well. I ordered the traditional gyro, small Greek salad, and the baklava. The gyro was fresh and the Tzatziki sauce was really tasty! The baklava was da bomb diggity. It just melts right in your mouth! I can't wait to go back! |

| Loved it. Went on a Saturday night at about 7 and the place, unfortunately, was deserted. (I hope that changes.) The kids behind the counter were very helpful and friendly. \n\nI got a gyro salad and my husband had a gyro (see review from earlier tonight). Both were very tasty. I had the yogurt-based tzatziki and he had the sour cream-based. Portions were generous, especially for $8 each. With drinks and tax, the total was just over $20 - a steal Lebo. \n\nThis place used to be a big fat greek gyro, but the owners re-designed/branded the place. Apparently, they'll be on an episode of \"where's the profit\". My husband thought the change was a good move. I'd never been to the prior version, but he had. He thought the place had a bit of an identity crisis, though the gyro was solid. (Not as bright or open, single guy behind the counter... Was it a mom and pop shop?) The new rendition is open, clean and you can see all the food. (It's greek does subway/chipolte.) \n\nAnyhow, this place is a great neighborhood addition. Nice time you're looking for something quick and/or reasonably healthy and cheap, give it a try! |

| We saw The Simple Greek on the tv show, The Profit, (Love Marcus) and decided to drive the 30 minutes and take the family.....we were so glad that we did. When we arrived the restaurant was super busy and we thought it would take forever, not a chance...We were able to place our order quickly and being a newbie, the workers were very pleasant and helpful. My 6 year old (picky eater) even loved it. Bottom line...the food was awesome, place was super clean, the employees helpful, and the baklava was da bomb diggity. It just melts right in your mouth! We can't wait to go back! P.S. Would love to hear the Greek Music! |

| Real snow sledding next to Container Park. Very cool! The ice skating...not so much. Plastic ice might be safer...but way way less fun. Overall cool place for your kids to kill a couple of hours. Prices are reasonale. 10 bucks for 5 sled rides down the hill...5 bucks to skate ( unlimited). |

| You get what you pay for (which is nothing because it's free entrance).\n\nKEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU GO HERE! \n\nNow if you're thinking it'll be anything close to what the Magical Forest is, please don't.\n\nThis Winter Wonderland place is next to Container Parker. The entrance is kind of off to the side so be on the look out. When you enter, you're greeted by a Merry Christmas written out on the wooden panels. On the left, there's a wall of nights with a huge screen that features \"showings\". If you head straight, you'll see the huge Christmas tree! There's a Tunnel of Love with mistletoe hanging on both ends. The fun stuff you have to pay to do which is play/slide in the snow and ice skate. They serve hot chocolate as well, but I heard its a bit overpriced.\n\nAll in all, it's free and it's new. I probably won't make the trip from the Southwest area again just to see this places BUT if I'm ever in the DT area and want to take more pictures, I might stop by. |

| Neat experience for a kids art-themed birthday party\n\nMy six year-old and I were in As You Wish for her friend's birthday party. It worked out very well. The group picked out the pieces they wanted to do, painted and chatted away for about an hour, cleaned up together, and then finished with gifts and a rendition of \"Happy Birthday to You\". It was superb to have kids and parents playing + working together for an activity for once.\n\nService staff was pretty good, as well. Not as structured as I would have hoped, but still helpful. You may have to approach them if you need something. Most of the crew seemed quite shy.\n\nMy wife, kids, and I may visit on our own to do some of their glass-work options. It looks like you can do some beautiful stuff with it. |

| I know this spot is cursed, due to many restaurants closing at this spot. However, this place seems like the new touch of tuscon desert needs and fills a valid role in Chandler fashion square. To be honest I was not willing to go at first and got dragged here by my significant other. The explain the service I doubt I could do it justice. They were willing to let us sample all their flavors from cheese to several of the beets before deciding. They were very attentive and caring for a chain restaurant. I understand this is the fifth in the chain. The food was great. Actually the portions were larger than expected and the flavor was not skipped. I have tried at least three of the tacos. Not to mention diet friendly for my vegan and gluten free friends. Just wow. I don't normally dish out a four star rating a first time but this place really has it. Even the rice is good. Something most places overlook. It's blooming with cilantro and flavor. |

| The atmosphere is great! The bartender was nice. The food was not too good. We just got nachos. The main ingrediant for nachos is cheese and it was horrible. It seemed like cheese whiz, yuk. It is very pricey, which we are ok with but not for cheese whiz. We ate at the bar and I did tell bartender i wash't happy with it. I complimented the shredded beef and guac. She didn't even offer to take a few dollars off b/c we weren't happy with the food. We love outside bars so much!! but sadly we probably won't go back. Just not good customer service. If I am paying 14.00 for nachos and don't like it and they don't care....equates to not going back. |

| Me and my husband came here for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't moderately busy. The servers kept walking past us without noticing us. It took a little bit for the server to come over to order our drinks. The alcohol was expensive. $10 for a margarita. We both got waters. Husband ordered the Sorrano Dog and it was very good. I ordered the Carn\u00e9 Asada burrito for $12.95. It only came with lettuce and a small amount of pico de gallo. Additional add ons were extra for the burrito. Burrito contained dry steak, black beans, cheese, and rice mixed with bean mixture. The filling was very dry and not very good to me. I had to eat some of my husband's fries. We also had the complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were all broken up into small pieces, like the bottom of the bag chips. The salsa was good. I had to pour it over my burrito to make it taste better. |

| Loved the idea of a garage restaurant. We stopped in for lunch after shopping for hours. We got the T bucket sampler: it did come in a bucket, but everything in it was fried-which made it all taste the same. Watching other things come out of the kitchen-their portions are large. We Really loved the chips and salsa, but not sure if that's enough to come back for. |

| Cool place to hang out at the mall. We will definitely be back to watch games and hang at the bar. The garage theme is cool, and it'll be great to hang out on the patio in the spring. The shrimp tacos and carne asada tacos were excellent. portions are big, not those little sample size tacos. Try it out if you are at the mall or looking for a good place to day drink or go for happy hour! |

| Went to the outlet mall in search of a cafe that was nowhere to be found. One of the mall's finest recommended Steak and Fries and raved about it. I guess you can't blame a guy for talking up the very place he is paid to protect, but this place was not good. At best it was fast food quality at restaurant prices in a food court. \n\nThey were not busy by any stretch, but had six cackling employees behind the counter carrying on like geese in heat. Their mating calls could be heard echoing throughout the food court. \n\nThe food took too long and my bacon cheeseburger was just \"middle of the road.\" The fries were decent, but only warm. I was expecting hot, fresh fries. No such luck. Lunch for two was thirty bucks! There were a few other options inside the food court but you might be better off leaving the property for lunch if this place is any indication of how the other eateries are.\n\nOnly two stars this go round. The service, food quality and price all combined to make this a disappointing experience. |

| Hello! ...Second Yelp reviewer here and they are not even 'officially' open yet!! If this was the 2nd week of their soft opening....WOW!...how can this be improved upon? Our entire dining experience was fabulous. \n\nWhat does Scottsdale, AZ have in common with Dubai and Hong Kong? TORO. \n\nWe are staying at the Fairmont Princess so you can catch the complimentary Mercedes shuttle from the main portico at the hotel...it's only a mile or less to the restaurant. \n\nIt's Asian + South American fusion. And it rocks! Sushi + ceviche? Sashimi and lomo saltado? Why not? \n\nAs we perused the menu, we had a lovely visit from the Rum Princess (love that they have a Rum Princess in lieu of a sommelier) to help us navigate the extensive spirits selection. \n\nRather than narrow our choice down to two mains, we ordered five small plates/apps and ALL were terrific.\n\nAfter ordering, a couple of warm, fabulous, cheesy rustic rolls appeared with a light and bright tomato/onion ...then to find out it is GLUTEN FREE, made with yuca flour - very HAPPY!! \n\nWe tried the hamachi toradito, lamb skewers, angry tuna roll, short rib flatbread and the steak tartare. \n\nNow, if we were forced at gunpoint only to choose three of those again, we'd say that you CANNOT MISS the lamb skewers, steak tartare, and angry tuna roll. \n\nHuh? \n\nYep. A sushi roll, and grilled skewer and a classically french dish...all at the same restaurant and all are standouts. \n\nNah - we'd probably just take the risk of the bullet and order them all again. \n\nThe flatbread with the pulled pork rib meat, manchego cheese, horseradish cream, caramelized onions...yum! The hamachi with sriracha...everything is better with sriracha. \n\nGF? - you are in GREAT shape here. Tons of choices. Vegans, pescatarians, frugans, paleos, carnivores, finicky kids...I think you've found a happy place. There is something here for everyone and that includes foodies alike. \n\nA wonderful Martin Codex albarino topped it all off...absolutely perfect. Here we are, ranting and raving about the food because that is the point of dining out - you do not notice the service because it was spot on and the ambiance (center bar with tv's for those wandering sports fans' eyes) was very complementary. \n\nTIP: Food production was FAST. If ordering multiple small plates, order in waves so that they do not all arrive at once...or let your server know to stagger the order. \n\nGreat job, all you peeps at Toro! Good luck on your grand opening!! |

| I note at the time of this review this restaurant is newly opened and still might be working things on the menu out.\n\nFirst of all maybe the most useful information needed is that you must use the address posted on Yelp and not the Fairmont Princess Address posted on the Toro Website or you will be in a mess and will have to use the Fairmont Shuttle Bus that may or may not be running to get to the Toro Restaurant and Rum Bar.\n\nWhen we finally found this restaurant sort of hidden in the Fairmont Golf Course we found that it didn't have a sign. You will know your in the right place when you see the bottles of rum and restaurant tables.\n\nThe interior of the restaurant is very slick and modern with a big sushi/ceviche bar in the middle of the room. We decided to sit on the patio with lovely views of the golf course and the McDowel Mountain Range.\n\nThe menu is Pan Latin Cuisine. We were told the menu is mostly Peruvian with flavors but blended with Asian too. \n\nThis restaurant features a rum bar but I didn't partake in alcohol and had Iced Tea and water instead. The restaurant could use more filtration as the water had an off taste I didn't like.\n\nWe started with the Angry Tuna Roll. It was made with quality Tuna that was delicious. I liked that they dotted each piece with actual wasabi sauce. The tuna really was spicy and the rolls sat on some sort of Thai Chili Sauce. The Angry Tuna Roll was really very good. \n\nFor me what wasn't as well received as the Tuna Roll was the Chicken Soup (Caldo De Pollo). It was presented to us as cold pulled chicken in a bowl with some rice and a little bit of something like pico and a little pitcher of warm water laced with a little bit of chicken flavor that you pour on. This soup was very weak in flavor. TO BE FAIR as possible I do think maybe the soup might have had more flavor if the liquid was hot enough to bloom whatever was in the bowl and maybe you might get a better tasting soup than I got. The waiter asked us how it was when we were finished with it and my husband told the waiter the soup was very bland. The waiter thanked us for the imput.\n\nWe also shared the Lomo Sactado. It was delicious and made with Medium Rare (almost too close to rare for me) Tenderloin and Crispy Fries as promised. It was really a very tasty Stir Fry in a Soy Jus. The tomatoes and onions just tied it together. I do think they should ask you how you want the meat cooked in this dish. I'm OK on a tenderloin with M/R but not everyone is.\n\nThe kitchen was very good about splitting our plates for us.\n\nI really want to give this new place 3.5 stars but if I have to decide between 3 and 4 I'm closer to three stars on this one mostly because of the Weak Chicken Soup, the very high prices on the iced tea and soda ($5.or a small glass of soda) and the rest already mentioned.\n\n3.5 stars |

| I was a volunteer driver for two years for URRKN. They are a nonprofit 501c (3) organization run by Tina LaBlanc and her husband. I was very excited to be a member with all these cat lovers taking cats to their forever homes. Unfortunately, there is a dark side to URRKN. Tina LaBlanc was asking members to donate to various causes that covered personal, not URRKN related, expenses for Tina and other Administrators only. From trips, vacations, car repairs and clothing to house upgrades. All members, including management, are volunteers and provide their time free of reimbursement. URRKN is not a rescue, foster, or other pet related organization. It is a transportation group only. Moving cats from point A to point B, all free of charge. Any expenses for the cat is absorbed by the adopter and adoptee.\nIt was also brought to my attention that transports were based on how big a donation you made to URRKN, not the first come first serve basis we all thought. Some transports were taking up to 5 months to organize. Others in two weeks.\nJust recently, a You Caring request for $3000 in funds was posted on the members page requesting donations to fix a administrators car. At this time, no administrator is taking a salary or being reimbursed for expenses. I questioned these donations and was banned from commenting. I since realized that URRKN was violating 501c(3) nonprofit operation rules and found another group to drive for who is totally transparent.\nBefore you join or donate, please research this organization. Do not be taken advantage of like I was. |

| Unfortunately, this group does not always get their kitties to their new adoptees. One cat was lost while in the care of an URRKN overnight hostess's home. As of this date, she has not been found and its been a year. The adopter is still devastated. Another adopter received a kitten with a deadly virus that not only killed the kitten, but, also infected two of her family cats, one who perished along with the kitten.\nMismanaged donations and unfair scheduling of transports are just a couple of concerns for this group. It appears the more money you donate the more VIP treatment you get. Some transports take 5 months to organize where the norm is 2 to 3 weeks. If you want your kitty you need to shell out the money.\nURRKN has been known to transport kitties across state lines with no Health Certificates. Hence, sick kittens are being transported when they should be under vet care. Donations cannot be accounted for and are being requested by management from the members to support management personal causes as in eye surgery, home improvements, car repairs, etc.\nBefore you donate or become a member, please research this organization and its reputation. |

| So I feel the need to respond to the negative reviews, especially Brenda T. Our Gersemi was transported prior to our donation being sent in. So it is simply not true that the cats will not be transported unless large sums of money are donated. \n\nIt is true that organization times vary. Ours was fairly long - but that was the fault of the foster mom and myself not staying \"on task\". Certainly, one of the tie-ups was getting Gersemi's health records, without which she would not have been transported. So any driver should know that they are transporting a sick or contagious cat, and keep it isolated during transport. If the adopter is so equipped to nurse a sickly cat back to health, or willing to share their home with only one cat because it has FIV and is contagious, more power to her/him. \n\nI cannot speak to the incidences of volunteers being asked to donate money for administrators expenses. That would be a \"poor choice\" on Tina's part. If asked, just say \"no\". Unfortunately, in large organizations, there are always personal friendships that develop that may appear to be favoritism or, on the other hand, conflicts that arise. It's just not logical to expect anything else.\n\nOur particular experience happened to be superlative. All the volunteers were spot on. Everyone kept everyone else informed as to the progress, where Gersemi was, and when the next transporter could expect her to arrive. Even had a short update from the person at the B&B. Gersemi arrived in apparent good condition and good spirits. Especially after having spent two days in various cars. In fact, I think Gersemi took to it better than my husband does/did! |

| It's great to have a nice place in the neighborhood. \n\nThe decor is very professionally done and it looks like a fabulous place for a date or nice night out.\n\nI met some clients at the bar where we had drinks. I found the service at the bar professional, but somewhat ambivalent in attitude. I don't want to be fawned over, but I do expect staff at a place like this to be a little more engaged and present. The selection of tap beers was short, but nice.\n\nAfterward, that same night, I met another client there for dinner. The service was good and the menu looked great. My guests all enjoyed their food. One had a large dinner salad, another had the buckwheat crepes, a third had the grass-fed steak and I had the Cornish hen, which the wait person had recommended because it was a family recipe. The presentation and appearance of all of our dinners was excellent. The flavors in my Cornish hen and the sides were delicious. What I am in shock over is the portion and the price. The menu states \"Cornish hen\", it is $23 and there is no mention of the portion. It was not a full Cornish hen. It was not a half Cornish hen. It was a 1/4 Cornish hen. One very small leg connected to one very small thigh. That's it. I've seen more meat in an average size chicken strip.\n\nI will try Oliver's again, but will be more careful when I order. |

| I was really excited for Oliver's to open but was pretty disappointed when I ate there on their opening night. I had read that Oliver's price point was supposed to fall between nearby Lombardino's ($$$) and Blue Moon ($$), and was pretty shocked when I saw that most main courses were actually in the $18-$30 range. I ordered one of the less expensive dishes, the macaroni, and found it to be a little burnt. When I ordered the macaroni, the waitress asked me \"would you like a soup or salad with that?\" so I requested the soup, assuming that it was included in my dish - I was then shocked to find that an $8 charge for soup was included in my bill. I thought that this was pretty misleading. \n\nOn the pro side, the soup, bread appetizer, and cocktails were really good. But again, they were a little too expensive (minus the bread, which was complimentary). I really really hope that Oliver's lowers their prices or adds some cheaper dishes (e.g. burgers and sandwiches). The neighborhood is mostly medical students and residents, and in my opinion, a menu and price point similar to The Old Fashioned would fare much, much better. |

| I should've known my visit wasn't going to fare well when our waitress mentioned \"We've been open for a week and working out all the kinks\". Unfortunately, the kinks were not worked out by the time of our visit.\nThe interior is warm and inviting and caught our eye when we walked by. There is a bar as you walk in with some seating and the a larger dining room in the back. When I saw \"public house\" as part of the restaurant's name, I was expecting a menu more focus on casual fare with a few sandwich options. Not the case here. With entrees in the high teens-low 20's and appetizers hovering around $10, the bill can get pretty high pretty quick. \nWhile the craft cocktails were worthy of their price point, the food was definitely not. I was impressed when the waitress steered my daughter away from the $15 adult mac and cheese and towards the version on the kids menu (she thought the adult maybe had too strong of flavors). I was not impressed to find out the bland kids version (served with ice cream) was $14. This is an absolute joke. My girlfriend went went the clans and mussels while I opted for the whitefish sticks appetizer and squash soup. The mussel/clam combo had a nice broth and served with grilled bread for dipping. But, for perhaps 7 mussels and another 6 clams, $16 is priced too high. My whitefish appetizer (with homemade chips) was fine but again overpriced ($10). On the other hand, my squash soup missed the mark severely. It took on the taste of the kale and was finished inexplicably with balsamic vinegar-completely masking the flavor of the creamy squash. \nParking is hard to come by (there is a space for patrons about a half block away) and with price points this high (and not having the food to match), I would be surprised if it lasts even a year. A shame as its a beautiful space. |

| The food was excellent. I had the buckwheat crepes which were amazing especially if you like brussel sprouts! My table also ordered and raved about the scallops and grits and the pork! The bar menu seemed like it was carefully picked as I had a hard time deciding between the excellent beer, wine, and cocktail choices! The tap menu was very reasonably priced. They have really cool tables that can be easily transformed from a 4 top to a 6 top at the drop of the hat which makes it easy to meet / not meet some of your most flakey friends! The atmosphere is very nice and it is nestled in a very neat neighborhood. Parking can be an issue, however, since it is in such a nice residential area it's not impossible to find a close FREE spot! The bar is a nice wrap around and plenty of options for seating! |

| I braved the cold and decided to return to the restaurant to see if the kinks that were ever so present during my first visit have since been worked out. My reaction is mixed.\nI am definitely a fan and will be back for a drink (or three) at the bar. The bar staff is super attentive and the drinks on their menu all hit the spot. I am also digging their tap beer selection as they feature some unique and different ones.\nI am not, however, sold on their food. At the price points, I expect better executed dishes. As it was cold and blustery, I opted for the Glazed Pork Shoulder that sat on top of a white bean puree, accompanied with roasted apple and bacon lardons. I can respect the farm to table element but for $21, I found the pork shoulder to be a little tough and dry (neither of which I would expect from a Berkshire hog).\nI still feel, over time, when the bright shiny feel of a new restaurant wears off in the community, Oliver's will have difficulty pulling in the customer's. Let's face it, there are many places in Madison that espouse farm to table at similar price points which execute and deliver more solidly than Oliver's. I will be back for drinks but methinks not for anything food related. |

| Finally Edinburgh has a proper branch of Yo! No more cramming in to a tiny space on the top floor of Harvey Nicks.\n\nBeing slap bang in the middle of Princes Street I'm sure this branch will prove popular, if just for convenience. It follows the tried and tested Yo! formula - sushi and other assorted bites on colour coded plates whizzing past you on a conveyor belt. It's nice to sit by the bar and gawp at the talent of the sushi chefs (seriously, how good must their knife skills be to slice fish that precisely?) but in this branch it would be worth napping a booth in the window and enjoying the view of the castle, gardens and shoppers below.\n\nStaff fairly friendly (and hopefully this won't wear off with time) and nothing to fault it. I'll definitely be back |

| I really wanted to give this place 4 stars but just couldn't, we'll get to that later. Starting from the beginning, this was my first time visiting Yo Sushi. I had heard about the conveyer belt and thought it would be a fun place to take my daughter for our lunch. We were sat in a corner booth with views of the Wallace monument and all the Christmas attractions and on our other side, the Edinburgh castle. Really really great location with stunning views. Great big star for views. \n\nI started off with the bottomless miso soup, yes indeed, they offer unlimited refills of their very lovely miso. This earns them another star right off the bat. My daughter loves Japanese food and the waiters were all very sweet and playful with her, which was super nice of them. \n\nThe food was good, we happened to go there on a Monday which has a special \"blue Monday\" deal. This means that certain plates are \u00a32.50. It was really easy to order off of the blue Monday menu as it had a really large variety of plates. The gyozas were really tasty and crispy, the tempura was okay, a bit sparse but this is the first place that I have seen have avocado tempura here in Edinburgh which was really lovely. My daughter literally inhaled her chicken katsu and the noodle dish I had was delicious. All the food was well prepared and very tasty, my only gripe would be the portions, they are tiny! But still, big shiny star for really tasty fare.\n\nOk, so now onto why I gave this place 3 and not 4 stars, the music. The music was way too loud!! I don't mind music and I don't mind any genre but if you blast music really loudly, it will turn off your guests, unless they are wasted or getting there. Honestly I left with a bit of a headache and the loudness of the music distressed my daughter a bit at first. If they turned down the music a few notches the whole experience would be way better. Just shows how important music/ambience is to eating. \n\nSo there you have it. Dependable quality food, small portions a bottomless miso but really freaking loud music. |

| What a great local shop! Loved Meeting the owners and taking a look behind the scenes at how they make some of the yummy confections. The coffee was really smooth and tasty as well. Thanks Nikki for hosting such a fun get together! |

| This cute little gourmet chocolate shop was perfect for this chocolate addict! The display cases are filled with truffles, bon bons and baked goods.\nThis was a great Yelp event! Thank you Bill, Karen and Robyn for making my evening delicious. I really enjoyed decorating graham\ncracker cookies with colorful chocolate. Mine was gone on the car ride home...Whoops, but it was soo good! \nIt was great meeting fellow Yelpers in person. Thank you Nikki for setting up a great event! |

| Filmont is great! I needed a custom desk for a small corner in my office. I met with Lincoln who measured the area and sketched out a few options that we then customized together. Mike was in touch about the transaction and delivery and a couple weeks later, I received my dream desk. Their work is creative and well-executed. I'm looking forward to ordering from them again! |

| Dang I wish I knew this was on Yelp. I would save the time and money.\nI am a hardcore JFK fan. my license plate is JFK! and boy was I disappointed.\nEverything is a replica, items are scattered in a huge meeting/ event room, it looks so amateurish I felt like it was disrespectful to the 35th president. \nEven if it was free admission I'd still be disappointed and upset. \nI could have done a better job doing it in my living room. \nShame on you Tropicana! |

| AHHH I checked yelp for this immediately after walking in. Biggest joke by far. I wanted to take pictures to show how absurd the display and over all appearance of this place was, but didn't want to spend any extra time in there, trying to get a refund. It was sparse, everything was a duplicated version, apparently chairs from other presidents and other First Ladies dresses were in there. Nothing what I thought it would be. I would give a higher review for the supervisor that refunded me the 3 tickets I bought for locals, totaling $71. I would have been disappointed even if it was free. Oh well. Dallas here I come for the real deal. |

| Terrible.\n$25 a person (plus a $4) fee on top of each ticket. \nWhen we got to the ticket \"booth,\" (it was actually a dining table with a table cloth draped over it), the ticket machine wouldn't work. Two people were ahead of us and we still were waiting 20 minutes to buy tickets. Finally (a plus here) a nice couple gave us their extra tickets for free: Thank-you (and boy am I glad I didn't have to pay).\n\nOther than the cars, and about 5 wee things, nothing is either real or even related to JFK. \n\nIt was set up like a primary school science project in a giant, vacant room. The posters with \"facts\" were full of misspellings and even had some questionable accuracy.\n\nI spent time in there hoping that I'd stumble upon some gem, but alas it was awful.\n\nThe icing on the cake was when I fellow decided to cross the rope line to sit at one of JFK cars. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS, AND I DO NOT CONDONE IT. HOWEVER, the man working at the \"gift area,\" who I assume is also the curator and security guard?? Began yelling an screaming at this person. He then continued on to call the man \"stupid\" and uttered swear words to himself. Then he did nothing. He allowed this \"offender\" to continue on looking unsupervised. Then I witnessed him talking to another female that appeared to be working the exhibit as well. He spoke loudly using the F-word so that everybody at the exhibit could hear. Finally he expressed that he was less concerned about the car and more about getting the picture back from the \"offender.\" What the Hell?\n\nI left shortly after that. I feel like the Tropicana did not do their research on this particular exhibit. I feel that the whole thing was purely for profit and that no legitimate interest or research on JFK was presented.\n\nVERY DISSAPOINTED. Glad I didn't pay. To the couple that handed us the free tickets Thank-you in more ways than one! |

| This place says it closes at 11pm and its 1020.... And they denied us service! :( \n\nWas actually really excited for this, sadly place is still run by unprofessional people. |

| Finally got to try Bachi. Great burgers! Our server was very helpful explaining and describing the menu to us. Shuffle fries are good as well. |

| Great service and super yummy food!\nBefore I come to this location, I've been to bachi burger once, I don't have too much memories of my last experience, but this one is just fantastic.\n\nWhen I enter with my boyfriend the waiter greeted us politely. And later on turned out he was so attentive (checking on us every 5 minutes, which feels a little bit weird but I know he's doing it out of care)\n\nWe ordered the shogun burger, which was sooooo amazing! I usually hate burgers due to their greasy taste but after having this one I just can't help but craving for it all the time!\n\nI love this place and will definitely come back (hopefully not too much to keep my shape tho lol!) |

| Grand Re(soft)Opening\n\nHappy Thanksgiving to Monkey Part I. \n\nSame clean and modern interior, 3 TVs, bar and kitchen visible behind large windows. Greeted & seated right away. HLK may be gone, but half it's menu items including smoothies still exist. The breakfast menu featuring their Hash and those delectable Pancakes will be making a return soon. \n\nMonkey do:\n\nSAPPORO DRAFT\nBLACK & GREEN BURGER - mushroom, spinach over Wagyu beef\nPORTUGESE DOUGHNUTS - very dense, fried balls of dough covered in sugar, served with jam. mmmm donuts... \n\nMonkey ordered burger medium, it arrived very rare in the middle. Though, savory and delicious, i killed it without giving it a second thought. Why would i? It's Bachi Burger! My ultimate favorite burger in Vegas... \n\nI no longer posses a cast iron stomach to devour anything in my path... therefore, it returned 2hrs later. every single bit. Lesson learned. Well done from now on. Monkeys still a fan, but with fear of this kitchen. Monkey shall return for them Taro Pancakes. One day... |

| Newer location. Service was prompt and courteous -- I was also the only person on a Monday about an hour before close. \nMost importantly, ordered Banh Mi burger and sweet potato fries. Both were amazing. Burger came with Nuoc Mam sauce good enough to drink. |

Would I go back?\nYes I would \nI highly recommend this place I loved the oxtail chili fries\nand the burgers..... Yum!!\nShared the Ronin Myagi Something\nBoth were excellent burgers |

| My husband and I have heard great things about this restaurant and with receiving a gift card for Christmas it was the universe telling us we had to go. \n\nWe asked the waitress what to get and she recommended the oxtail chili cheese fries as an appetizer. These were delicious and could be a meal by itself! We each order a burger as well: Ronin Burger and Black and Green Burger. We barely had room to finish it all. We will definitely be back to try it again! |

| We arrived at this location after we were told the Windmill location had a 45 minute wait. Thankfully this location is a lot closer to where I live. We were immediately seated in a booth that we asked for. The ambiance of this new location was great. Table and utensils were clean. The menu was extensive and took us a few minutes to decide what to order. I ordered the Ronin Burger. It was delicious. The presentation was well executed. We also ordered salt & pepper fries; the menu is a la carte. The fries were served with a dipping sauce, which I forgot the name of, but was very delicious.\n\nThe service was less than average. It could definitely be improved. We asked for refills for our water and he only managed to refill my cup and didn't refill my girllfriend's; she had less water than me. I will definitely be back to try a different burger and hopefully get better service. |

| I gave 2 stars because even though the food was good. The service was horrible. We didn't feel welcomed at all. We had a party of 9 and only 2 orders were served the way they were ordered. The waitress sucked. She clearly took the orders wrong and paid no attention to us. The woman who served us our drinks was way more pleasant than the lady that took our orders. At least she thanked us for coming. Due to the horrible service we didn't leave much of a tip. I'll stick to the Sahara location |
