Was in town for a conference...I ordered online, my order was screwed up 2 days in a row: The 1st night they completely forgot my brown rice. The 2nd night the green beans were burned beyond recognition...What's a girl to do...at home (Chicago), I've never had a bad experience with PFC's...Oh well, u can't win 'em all~

OK - slight update - didn't review my second visit, will review 3rd and won't elaborate on why I continue to go to restaurant that I'm not in love with.\n\nFurnishing is really nice, tasteful. \n\nLunch menu just doesn't work for me. But clay pot dish of chicken/egg plant was really tasty and I am more positive about the place.

Carne asada tacos were good. Salsa bar was nice with 6 different kinds.

I was looking forward to this restaurant and finally made it in for lunch one day. Reservations for dinner are at least a week away which I don't understand as there are usually empty tables around. Maybe they don't have enough staff or want to make it feel more exclusive. We easily got a reservation for lunch, but when we arrived their system was down and said they needed to wait until it was up again as they had no way to confirm I had a real reservation. I showed them the email confirmation and they said they would seat us soon. We had to talk to them a couple of more times and they sat us when we said we had to be out by a certain hour. After that hiccup, our server was extremely attentive and the food was at our table timely. \n\nI was craving the baked pasta (lasagna for Sunday) but our server would not recommend it as it had mixed reviews from other diners and the kitchen was still modifying the recipe. I ended up getting the muffuletta sandwich and was underwhelmed. The bread was not soft and fresh, and the overall taste was nothing extraordinary. I got the zucchini scapecci as the side and this was my favorite part of the meal. My friend got the tuna sandwich which was better than the muffuletta, but be warned it is not fresh tuna. \n\nI would like to go back and give it another shot. The space and decor are beautiful but so far it felt like it was more about the celebrity chef than the food.

I love this place - we go almost once a week (either me, hubby, both) for lunch/brunch on weekend. My favorite dish is Shrimp Diablo - so spicy and so very good! I've had catering for my work team several times and they have loved it! It's a bit of a \"hole-in-the-wall\" and totally worth going to! Find it. You will be really glad you did. Great service.

Mac n Cheese? I was intrigued! Ordered The Bayou with crab and crawfish...sadly no lobster mac n cheese so I guess this was next best thing. Friendly service with a smile, bright environment. The Bayou Mac looked really good, top was oozing with gooey cheese, portion was good for $9.49 (just a tad pricey) but middle was cold. Maybe oven problems? I would cut the portions, reduce the price a little so that each order can come out quicker and at a more even temperature. Taste was good, and may come back to try other varieties.

This is a late review, this review was for opening weekend. I went on locals night, Sunday April 28th with a couple of girls. We got there at around 10PM when they opened at 10PM and waited for an hour, I guess that is standard. When we got inside, there was NO ONE INSIDE, uh, why did you make us wait this long again for no reason? Annoyed already.\n\nNot only was the walk EXTREMELY far from the parking lot/valet, there were so many flights of stairs that by the time I got to the top, my feet were too tired for me to dance. Talk about discouraging from the get-go. Oh, and if you think it ends there, it doesn't. There are stairs literally EVERYWHERE. My girlfriend tripped off of a 3-step stair because she didn't see it, not because we were drunk. Be wary.\n\nSince it was opening weekend and locals night, I assumed that all the rooms were open and that they would have at least a decent DJ. WRONG. The \"Ling Ling Room\" aka the hip hop room was closed, WTF?! Closed on opening weekend?! Not only that, the music really sucked in the main room. I mean I am not that into EDM but I will groove to it if need be. Well, whoever played that night really did not know how to read a crowd. No one was really dancing. I don't know if I will be back or if I will even recommend/bring my friends. How disappointing.\n\nYou'd probably be better off at Marquee, honestly.

We spent Valentines Day here. It was very nice. A little bit of a rough start but a strong finish. \n\nWe arrived and it took a few minutes to be seated. Understandable at it was a big night. Small line to get in. \n\nEach meal comes with a salad, breads. and starches. For an upscale Vegas restaurant, this was a nice touch.\n\nSome highlights (all included). \nTable side salad preparation\nSmall cone of sorbet to cleanse your pallet.\nChocolate covered fruit for dessert\n\nOur meals were good. Rib Eye and Beef Wellington. Crab cake also good especially the sauce. \n\nI also enjoyed the white chocolate mouse cake. \n\nDrinks were very reasonable. Sodas were $2 and mixed drinks were $7.\n\nWe commented that we thought the servers forgot about us as after we sat down no one came over for about eight minutes to greet us at table. Once they did service was fantastic. \n\nAnnoying that there was no cell service which is ok on a romantic night. \nI would go back.

Wonderful little burger joint!! Very simple menu: hamburgers, hot dogs, and (Garfield) fried egg sandwich. Everything is fresh and the burgers are like a thing from the past (fabulous)!!!! Very little in and outside seating- most importantly its cash only! Worth the drive! and an experience you shouldn't miss!

Meh, about says it. It was OK, the volcano roll was pretty good. The service was good but I just wans't all that impressed.

Requiring fortification prior to heading out for some adult beverages, some smoked meat goodness was in order! Tipped off by local yelper, Risa (thank you) this place was the bizomb!!!! Witness lone waitress Anna exclaim, \"I work hard for my money, I get no break!\" Classic! When in Montreal... Smoked medium sammich special with poutine /dill pickle and slaw did not disappoint.

I've been to this location twice now and both times have been a disappointment. Last night I go only to find the protein choices for the bowls are already cooked and there are no shrimp or scallops!! I asked my waitress about it and she said she wasn't sure if I knew but that there was a huge world wide shrimp shortage. Imagine the side eye she receive after that. I couldn't even bring my self to create a bowl because there was no way I was going to create it with pre-cooked chicken and pulled pork!!! Btw there were about 4 pork options that in my opinion totally don't go with Asian cuisine! The service was good but I couldn't get over the, what seemed to me to be, money saving tactics at the expense of the integrity of the concept and food of the restaurant. If you liked GG before don't go now...you'll end up pissed as your waitress tells you some BS story about why the menu has changed.

First of all I love their location. They are located in the middle of all my favorite stores. But the food here is great. They do happy hour 7 days a week. Service is excellent. The corn is a must try. The place is also very new and hip.

This might be my favorite Starbucks on any of my usual routes. The parking lot and surrounding road construction is a little on the annoying side, but if you plan for it there's usually no problem.\n\nThe inside is on the smaller side. Not a lot of indoor seating but a good amount of tables outside. I've never been here when there are less than 3 people working behind the counter, and I'm quite impressed that they are as efficient as they are with such limited space.\n\nMy drink here has always been correct, quick, and service is always friendly.

We've been here a couple of times and have liked it in general, and went recently specifically for the fish and chips, one of our favorite foods. The fish was good, striped bass--that was going to be served with skin on, but we insisted that couldn't happen, so they took it off. Fish fine, but no chips. Instead, potato crisps mixed in with the cole slaw in order to make them soggy it seems. Fish and chips just have to come with french fries!\n\nBut, on the whole, food ok. Ambience? completely terrible. We hadn't realized before just how noisy this place is. Terrible acoustics, unbearably loud. Not relaxing, not intimate, not friendly. We've written this one off, struck it off our list and won't go back, not even if they add french fries.\n.

Food is ok. Pad Thai is sub-par. The happy hour is very cool baby suburban around this joint. \nIt's attached to Chandler Fashion Center, so it's busy pretty much all of the time. happy hour specials are just ok, specialty drinks are pretty expensive with little taste and even less alcohol.\nplus, i loathe happy hours that you can only enjoy in the \"bar\" area. the patio is the spot for HH, and it's LOUD. not just with vapid chatter, but with the constant scraping of meatl chairs on the concrete. it sounds like i'm being picky, but it's one of those sounds that makes your skin crawl and just kills your mood instantly - over and over and over.\nanyway, if you're a big time up-and-comer and want everyone to know, this is the place for you.

Ruined our Valentine plans. We made reservations which we brought with us for 8:30 p.m. When we arrived a long line and chaotic waiting area greeted us. After waiting 15 minutes to check in we were greeted by a rude front desk person, who let us know it would be 35 minutes or more past our reservation till seating, but to wait in the lounge which was now standing room only. After watching several arguments between patrons and the front desk, and being told there was no general manager available, we left. Thank you Ruth's Chris for ruining our plans.

EEEEEK! DO NOT STAY HERE! \n\ni really only have to say two words to convince you--\n\n\nBED BUGS.\n\n\nyes, and this is NO JOKE! so jason and i stayed here because his parents managed to get a really good deal for two nights. sure the price was good, but nothing can compensate for how dirty it was! so-- jason and i are not snobs at all when it comes to hotels, especially in vegas right? because most of the day & night youre out doing your thing and would only really be in the room to pass out after one too many margaritas-- however, the BED BUGS were gross enough to make sure you didnt over do it on the drinks, or even sleep for that matter, just to make sure you didnt get eaten alive! \n\nto make you cringe even more-- my boyfriend called the front desk to let them know about our findings in our room, and the manager just shrugged it off-- he just offered us another room like it was an everyday occurrence! \n\nwhile the rooms at the flamingo may be cheap-- so are a lot of other places on the strip-- so stay somewhere else! however, if you do insist staying here make sure youre ready for some extra company in your bed -- and i dont mean that in the way your probably would imagine in vegas either.

Great Filipino food,all you can eat Adobo...Chicken,Beef,Pork got ur Pancit behon,Pancit palabok,and soups

Only tried the chicken lettuce wraps (3 stars) and they were pretty good. Reminds me of the chain PF Changs, not authentic, but still has flavor. Lettuce was fresh too, no bad wilted lettuce in the bunch. Definitely over priced but everything in the airport is. \n\nThis was the only place near my gate where I could get something that wasn't pre-made or sitting out all day. Plus I was trying to find something a little healthier, but it's probably not that healthy, haha. \n\nService:\nStaff was nice. Line goes pretty fast and food comes out in 5 minutes.\n\nAtmosphere:\nClean, they have seats between the ordering stand and bar area. Tables and stools for the high top tables, so if you're alone it's easy to find a seat.

Expensive food for the crappy service. Food was good but not great. The cheapest thing was a burger and chicken salad sandwich, which were $14. But the good thing was we got to sit outside in the sun on the patio with a view of the strip (second floor)

The owner has a complete disregard for customers and the customer experience. I arrived with my parents at 6pm, just as it stated to get busy. We submitted our name thinking it would be 20-30 mins. As tables became available he would seat groups that he knew and/or had reservations. It was like we were invisible. As the wait approached 40 min I went up to him and asked how many reservations there were and if he had any idea how much longer it would be. He looked at me, mumbled a sentence with the word \"ridiculous\" and said he didn't know. I politely told him it wasn't a big deal and said he could remove our name from the list. As we were leaving he came out the door and said we could sit outside (it was 50 degrees with a chance of rain).\n\nOnly reason I'm leaving this review is because my mom was all worked up and felt disrespected.\n\nI just can't support business owners like this. Go elsewhere.

It has been years since I had been here but I was feeling nostalgic. I use to come all the time when the cosplay lounge was around, made a geeky local like me feel welcome. Now it's just a tourist trap with fast food quality food at outrageous prices, even for the strip. I don't recall the food being this bad before but with out the cosplay I can't even award it some extra geeky stars, never will I come he again not even to remember the good old days.

There are not a lot of options for food at 4am at this end of the strip. I was worried we would have to wait forever for our food and the service would be horrible. To my surprise the server was friendly and pretty good. The food was ok and it came out pretty quickly. I ordered chicken strips and fries so it was not too complicated.\n\nI would not normally eat here, but for late night food it is just fine.

Ive stood in the hotel and its ok, nothing like OMFG but its cheap and has a nice bed.\n\nI loves the casino though! Its like awesome and has great parking! Its centrally located and isnt always super packed. The servers are super sweet and you can get a 3 burger and fries after midnight!\n\nLove it here!

I highly recommend Ultra Collision! They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process (repairs after an accident where the other person wanted to avoid going though insurance companies) and always looking out for my best interest. I felt like they were fair and honest with the estimate and came highly recommended from the auto mechanic who works on all our vehicles (and is also awesome). They did an great job on my repairs and my truck was spotless inside and out when we picked it up. (That felt like a huge luxury considering I have two young kids and my truck is rarely ever spotless!).

I will say that I do go here, though very sporadically. I gave it two stars, but it's because of my tastes, which I will explain in detail.\n\nWhen I do go, it's always early in the evening. I don't like going to this bar when it's crowded, as it's excessively crowded. It's worth a trip if you're into the scene or are visiting Phoenix and want to experience the scene. This is definitely one of the Valley's landmark bars. If you're going alone and don't mind spending the evening by yourself (i.e. people-watching) it really isn't that bad. If you want to mingle with people, this bar isn't a great atmosphere for that. People generally go in cliques and you'll notice that the bar is full of clique-clusters. It definitely is not one of the friendlier bars in the Valley. It also seems to have an \"instant snob\" effect on people. \n\nNow, for pluses... Amsterdam does have a beautiful outdoor area, which is suitable for smokers. You can not only take your drinks out there, but there is an outdoor bar at which you can get drinks. It's a nice area to have drinks in the spring, fall and early/late summer. Most of the summer it can still top 100 degrees even late at night and winter nights do get chilly. Amsterdam does have a nice interior as well. They also have an extensive, unique drink menu.\n\nAmsterdam does have a different crowd earlier in the evening than it does late nights. If I were to focus solely on the evening atmosphere and if that were my only experience, I could honestly give Amsterdam more stars. The dense crowds aside, the \"pretentious\" environment and \"go to be seen\" atmosphere make it harder to enjoy. I've largely gone to bars based on the general environment and comfort, which is why it's harder for me to make Amsterdam a focus-point on a night out. If I'm in the area and feel like a drink, and it's early in the evening, I might be more inclined to stop in.

Best pancakes I've ever had. This will be a stop for me in Vegas from now on

Let's See.... Horrible service from a skanky girl, serving food that belongs in a correctional facility.\n\nThis had to been one of the very worst dining (for lack of a better word) experiences I've ever had, anywhere.\n\nCan't I post anything lower than one star??

Went here for dinner on my fiance's birthday. She was very excited as she'd been wanting to come here for a long time. I made reservations for 8 and we were seated promptly. And that was where the service ceased to be good. Our waitress wasn't very attentive. Drinks that were ordered took 10 to 15 minutes to appear (but when they arrived they were VERY good). After we placed our food orders half of it came out after 45 minutes, and the other half came out 15 minutes later. The food was WAY overpriced for the quality (even accounting for the happy hour pricing). I'm told that the bar experience is MUCH different from the dining experience, so I might be back to check it out. As it stands I won't be returning for the food.

Love this grocery store. I usually never shop at Fry's and shop at Safeway, but this is the ONLY Fry's store that I will go to. It's fancy and always has items that you wouldn't normally find in a regular grocery store. We usually only come here though for the pastry department....and the fresh sushi. There's a sushi roll there that we always have to get when we stop by and it never fails us. For some reason, I can't remember the name, but it's basically a california roll with some mayo spicy sauce drizzled on top. The guy who stands there and yells out \"fresh sushi\" could take a break though, his voice is annoying. \n\nAnyway, my review here is for the pastry department. We have ordered our sons birthday cake here for the past 2 years....last year they were cupcakes with angry bird rings on top. Delish! This year, we ordered a quarter sheet white cake with whipped cream topping using their Despicable Me theme of Minions on the cake. The cake turned out the exact same way the picture did. We were impressed - and more so, we were so impressed by the taste of the cake. It was so good! Our guests also asked where we purchased the cake. So kudos to the pastry chefs at the Fry's on Shea & Tatum! We'll definitely be coming back. \n\nThere's also some limited cover parking which is great for those super hot days - but expect to drive around if you're looking for a spot. And they have valet, too, for the super lazy. They also will wash your car for you (for a fee) if you want, while you're shopping.

Before You read this I must say that I am the type of person that would much prefer a $50 plate of good quality food than $40 smorgasbord of mediocre food. With that being said, there are a few things I expect from every restaurant, and one of those is CLEANLINESS. \n\nI dined here with family in March for Sunday brunch at around 2pm. While I must say, they do have a nice selection of food, especially desserts but I didn't expect to see bugs on the buffet. Oh...and yes, I did say bugs, and by bugs, I mean a roach.\n\nMy wife was going to get food and she saw a roach crawling on the buffet in between food bins. The lady manning the station saw the roach and in a very mechanical fashion covered the roach with a towel, threw it on the floor and stomped it out. She had no sense of alarm which made me feel like this probably happens all the time. \n\nI was at the table trying to enjoy my dessert (the cupcakes were fantastic...and the bread pudding was the best part of my meal) but my stomach was turned when my wife returned to the table to say \"Oh Lord...there is a roach!\" \n\nTo the credit of the restaurant, we went to the manager and our meal was comped immediately which I do appreciate, but I don't appreciate knowing that I might have consumed food that was tap danced on by bugs.\n\nI would not return to this restaurant, but I must say that the manager handled the situation well, for what that is worth.

Try the white pizza. You won't regret it. People writing reviews about it being too greasy are clueless. News flash folks, NY pizza isn't authentic without the thin crust and a little grease. Nice option for a local joint with no frills.

As far as buffets go in Vegas, who rules the roost? Not Medley Buffet at Aliante, but for those living in the North/Northwest side of town - it will do.\n\nMy husband, myself, and my brother trekked here on Christmas Day for dinner. We arrived at about 1:30 PM, which I think was the \"sweet spot\" because there was only a few others in line ahead of us, and when we were seated, there were no other patrons around us. However, as we got through our meal it got crowded real fast.\n\nThis buffet offers the \"norm\" - meat carving station (props on the very succulent and juicy turkey, probably my fave of everything), and the prime rib was nothing to turn your nose up at. The ham though fell flat and dry. Other \"traditional offerings\" included stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole.\n\nOther sections of the buffet include: Asian, Mexican, and Desserts. It's not the greatest selection, nor is it the worst.\n\nAliante has been broken away from Stations Casinos for a couple years, so don't expect to be able to use your Station Card to get a discount here, you have to sign up to Aliante's players club. However, since it was Christmas, the kind cashier charged my family the players club price anyway. Per usual this is a good deal taking about $3-$4 off the norm price.\n\nI was happy to not have to cook or clean dishes after a big meal. Only downside is, we have no leftovers! Oh well.

Found this place by accident and decided to give it a shot. Great place with great staff. We will be back for sure but the downside..NO MILITARY DISCOUNT!!

Roaches are crawling on floor. Food was just ok . Everything was sweet tasting for some reason. Fried rice was gross

Not safe \n\nlock on door doesn't work\n\nStaff is unhelpful\n\nThey made lots of mistakes\n\nEach mistake cost a few $$\n\nGo elsewhere

This place is pretty good. Prices seem a little high, but you get a good amount of food. I like the i think its called the \"valley plate\" or something like that. Its pancit, lumpia, and that purple rice. Good stuff 8 dollars. \n\nIf they happen to be at a place i am at i will stop by (like Glendale Glitters) or Wednesday farmers market downtown

I'm still eat here, because I love Thai food....and there aren't too many Thai restaurants downtown, near my building. The food here is pretty good, and the prices are reasonable. The waitstaff is so-so.

we know .. we know... who doesn't love Pawn Stars. I like Chumlee & the old man.. but rick leaves a lot to be desired as does his son. blah. Ive been here 2x. the 1st time on a Sat. morning with no wait in line. It was great. But of course know that the \"talent\" is only there from M-F 8-5... if that.\n On my 2nd visit here they were filming - which meant Rick was filming and there were no photos allowed however as soon as they \"cut!\" SO DID RICK!. he was outta there.. no pics w/ him or anything. I thought he'd stick around and \"work\" but I guess that's only when cameras are actually rolling on him. Kinda disappointed b/c Chumlee was out of town in Alabama or Mississippi some place like that (2nd wk of Nov) oh well. What can you do? my out of town guests bought lots of t-shirts and cups and things I left with nothing b/c most stuff (non souvenir stuff) is kinda pricey. I did see a ring I liked for my mom but maybe after browsing online I'll make my final decision. \n\nBe warned! this place is much smaller than it looks on TV, its opened 24/7 so dont feel the need to stand in line forever to see this small space. \nLike I said though they were filming when we walked through so maybe we'll appear on an epidsode, you never know !

Can you be moderately disgusted by a place yet still love hanging out there? Yep; that is exactly how I feel about St. James. Yes, it's falling apart. The kitchen has been \"out of order\" for months now, and last night, the water dispenser on the drink gun went down. (They gave us free bottled water to make up for it.) And true, in the warm months, the men's room tops anything you saw in Trainspotting. I'll set the scene for you with a short poem.\n\nSt. James Place Men's Room\n\nFruit flies\nUrinal\nPee hole\nNuff said.\n\nBUT. If you don't mind a side of grime with your drinks (or enjoy a side of drinks with your grime), I'd definitely recommend the place. The service is always very good. The drinks are cheap-cheap and the pours are heavy. The regulars are good folks; not that aggressive South Side riff-raff. Plus, if you're into karaoke they do a killer karaoke night on Tuesdays. (Oh, and the ladies' room is apparently just fine. Lucky ducks.)

I almost don't want to write a review about this place, because I don't want to say anything bad.\n\nFirst off, the staff is so so nice. I really enjoy them. \n\nThe dining room is beautiful- I love the decor.\n\nThe food that I've tried just isn't that great. I've been 3 times, and only once was it good. But the staff is soooo incredibly nice, that I would consider going back to try some of the more adventurous dishes- and I would just stay away from the sushi. I just have so many other sushi places I enjoy more.

Kind of a dark and moody vibe/atmosphere if you're into that. The espresso is smooth and dark, definitely nicer than Starbucks.

I only have one more thing to add to these great reviews. The gents toilets on a Friday night should be avoided. \n\nEver wondered if somebody could vomit on the ceiling? \nOnce you see it, you can't unsee it.

Absolutely delicious and always fresh. I go here a couple times a week for lunch, since my office is just around the corner. Always friendly and attentive service.

I feel itchy just thinking about this place. \n\nI remember when I was a little one my parents brought me and my younger brother here. I thought it was the greatest place I had ever seen, with the little amusement park and the carnival games and circus acts. We had our RV hooked up in the lot. It was the mid 90's. A simpler time.\n\nI've stayed here more than once quite recently when me and my girl were ballin on a budget. Even from the outside it's like... I'm having second thoughts about this. Okay, Just... fork out the extra money and stay somewhere that say, cleans their bedspreads and curtains sometimes, or, vacuums the room occasionally. Circus Circus does not do these things ever.\n\nEven wallking through the casino you get the most disgusting, creepy, dirty feeling. And also the feeling like you are going to be murdered. By clowns. Basically you get the dirty feeling because the place is dirty in all ways, shapes, and forms. It's really a sad place. It's like a carnival tent that someone abandoned and left to rot. And it smells that way. Like shit, mold, stale cigs and despair.\n\nThe few times (a few too many) that I've stayed here, the check in line has been long. I actually let a bride and groom at the end of the line cut in front of me when I was next up one time. Hey, Circus Circus has to do with some part of their wedding. It was the least I could do. The people that work the front desk are depressed. And I would be too if someone made me wear that stanky ass purple uniform. Bless their hearts. They also must give you a map and explain to you which way to go and which elevator you need to take to find your room. The layout of the place is horrendous. I've been lost a few times. And, you don't wanna be lost here. Like I said, it's creepy.\n\nOn your adventure to find your room, you will be forced through hallways of stands with pushy people trying to sell you a bunch of made in China crap. Like a flea market from hell. Walk quiclky, head down, through this mess. It's the only way you'll make it. \n\nThe ventilation is SO BAD. Honestly I think if you had asthma and stayed here you would die. \n\nI can't even imagine that people dare to eat here. I give you props for your bravery. They do have a Krispy Kreme, which is actually one plus.\n\nYou will have to taxi or drive to get anywhere desirable. The location of this place is really terrible. Plus, you will be embarassed to tell the taxi driver to take you back here. If you wanna go see some tits, Sapphire is pretty close. Not walking distance close, but close enough. \n\nReally, you could not pay me to stay here. NEVER AGAIN.

We came here with a groupon. We had smoothies and paninis for a late lunch. I had the lemongrass and sesame paninis with beef. It was great!! The menu has many options and the prices are reasonable. 4 stars for food and drinks and 1 star for the groupon discount.

I am sorry, but this restaurant is not going to make it! They have very inexpensive prices on the menu, but what you get is what you pay for! My husband was going to order the filet, wanted it rare. The owner said, the steak is very thin! (1/2\"). You cannot cook a steak that thin, rare! The owners are trying to be waiters, servers, bartenders ! Music was nice, but the decore was not finished. Will not go back!

The only tip I think I should give is that this place is inside the mall. I'm not from the area and so it took me a bit to find this place, but I found it.\n\nAs for the mocha I got, it was pretty decent. It did not stand out as anything special, but it was not bad either. The price was about the same as most other places, too.\n\nThis is not really a coffee shop to sit down in, but rather it is more of a to go place while you do your shopping in the mall. Overall, it's alright.

Very nice course. $30 in the summer with some stunning views of the mountains. Very well manicured on most holes and friendly staff. Cart service was great with $2 PBR's and free water refills.

Cinnabon's sweet roll with tea seemed to have won my breakfast affection between flights from Seattle to Miami. Warm, gooey, mouthwatering goodness before an airport yoga session... Yummy!

Probably the most overrated restaurant in Vegas.\n\nOver the years I have had disappointing experiences at Charlie Palmers. I am a big fan of the Four Seasons... I have had great vacations at several of their properties. I have never understood why the Las Vegas Four Seasons has continued to maintain its asscoiation with the Charlie Palmer Restaurant... they aren't in the same league.\n\nMy latest foray was at Thanksgiving. When I learned that my parents made a booking at Charlie Palmers for Thanksgiving diner... I was disappointed. In the past I had several dinners there but was never impressed. About five or six years ago, prior to turning vegan, we had a Thanksgiving diner there and I remembered it as being extremely mediocre... I hadn't been back since. \n\nWe had a booking for about twelve people. I called the restaurant two days prior to let them know about my families food restrictions... myself, my wife and my two daughters (10 &12 years old) are vegan. At first they said there was no way they could accommodate us and suggested we book somewhere else. Then when the Manager noticed that we would be canceling a group of twelve, she said she would check with the chef to see what he could do. She called back and said they the kitchen could offer us a choice of pasta with vegetables or a risotto for our main courses. I ordered the risotto for my wife and I, and the pasta with vegetables for my daughters.\n\nAfter arriving for dinner... we ended up skipping the first course as their was no vegan option, then we were served a very plain salad. When our main courses arrived we all looked at each other with deep concern. What was presented did not look appealing. Well we all took a few bites... our risotto was flavorless mush... my daughters pasta hardly had any vegetables and was also flavorless. I thought they'd be the easy ones to please... they love pasta.\n\nThe food that was served was appalling... I have no idea how a chef in a first class restaurant would ever let such poor food leave their kitchen. \n\nNeedless to say we walked out... we were all starving... so it was off to Yard House down the street. \n\nI eat out at numerous upscale restaurants and rarely do I have a problem getting a vegan meal. In fact Steakhouses often provide me with the best options.\n\nI do not understand how a supposedely first class restaurant can make a commitment to provide a restricted meal, on Thanksgiving, and then make as little effort as possible to deliver a decent product.\n\nClearly there were red flags going up when I called ahead to make arrangements for our food restrictions... my mistake to not take heed.

This buffet is just ok. It's only $11 for dinner buffet for sushi, hibachi, and Chinese food. But the last couple of times I have been, the food has been cold and the sushi not fresh. And I've always been during peak dinner hours. I'm not expecting 5 star sushi from a buffet but sushi that's not fresh can make someone really sick. The hibachi is just ok. And they always undercook the veggies. The egg drop soup and the spring rolls are flavorless. And the egg rolls are dripping with oil/grease. The service is mediocre at best. How you fail to be a fantastic server at a buffet is beyond me. It also states on their website that they accept competitions coupons and that is a lie. They did not honor the coupon I brought in.

Although this Starbucks kiosk on the ground level of City Hall doesn't have the extensive food menu that other free standing Starbucks stores might have, I still enjoy going to see Paula and her team three to five times a week. It is a quick walk from where I work and they are always friendly and ready with suggestions when I feel like changing up my usual Tall Non-fat Misto.

I liked it. Right before Xmas my oldest sister and I were doing some late shopping at Home Goods and she suggested this place after hearing good things from her friends. It was late when we got there but we were sat w/o a problem. We even checked to make sure it was okay bc some of the tables already had the chairs put up on them, but we were assured it was not a problem at all.\n\nOur server was nice and good since we were his only table. We each had a glass of wine and started with shumai and calamari at the servers suggestion. Both were great. The calamari was served with a sweet chilli sauce, but it was was to spicy for wimpy old me. We then split 2 rolls, California and shrimp tempura I think. Both were good and fresh, not the best ever but definitely would order again. And finally I had been craving yaki soba so we got that with just vegetables and I liked it a lot. Nice and fresh tatsting, not overpowered with sauce or too salty. We also each had another glass of wine.\n\nOverall, very good and reasonably priced split between the 2 of us. If in the area I would return.

I rarely go to this super close to home Starbucks because of how slow their service is- not to mention their mediocre customer service. I'm running late this morning as it is and decide to stop for a passion tea (since I'm late already anyway) I get there & opt out of going through drive thru because the line is ridiculously long, so instead I get out and walk inside. When I get in, there are TWO customers ahead of me the lady ordering is ordering at least 10 drinks and the cashier looked extremely irritated. So me and the guy in front of me are waiting a total 10 minutes before they decide to get another cashier to help us along with the other 6 people that walked in after us. Anyways paid for my drink and waited for my drink- the barista who gave me my drink didn't look at all happy to be working. I asked her for water with ice along with my tea, she let out a huge sigh and asked another barista to give me my water... I was reminded EXACTLY why I do not ever go to this Starbucks - this is by far my least favorite Starbucks thus far...

Please, for the love of all that is holy and good in the world do not step foot in this restaurant. Wait, \"restaurant\" is a misnomer. A better description is \"dirty tourist trap\"\n\nWhere should I begin? Let's talk about the decorations. They suck. The place looks like the home of an acid-tripping mobster diagnosed with pathological hoarding. It also smells like a Chuck e. Cheese ball pit.\n\nWhat next? Let's talk about the service. The waiter looked like she had just butchered a cow when she took our order. And no, this is not a cool organic farm to table thing, she literally was covered in bits of meat and pasta sauce. Her tie kept dragging in our food too. \n\nNow, the food. There are a couple of reviews the point out the portions are large. I agree that they are large, but would suggest that they are large in the sense that a pig eats a large amount of food at a pig trough. And the food actually doesn't taste much better than pig slop. Actually, this is offensive to pigs. I assume pig slop is reasonably priced, this is actually not. The \"large\" portions are just because they fill the plates with cheap, bland, pasta.\n\nFinally, I saw in other negative reviews that the manager kindly reached out to the reviewer and offered to fix grievances. I sincerely hope the manager does not try to contact me. You could not pay me to go back there. The only way to fix our grievances would be to burn the place down to the ground.

Mesa Grill was extremely overpriced and the service was annoying. I understand it's Vegas, but for the prices, I expected better, quieter service. Our waiter came up every five minutes trying to take our plates, pouring water in between us and our conversations, asking questions... I understand being diligent but this was annoying. \n\nThe pork loin was the best thing any of us got. It was definitely very good. So was the shrimp tamale. I think that's actually the best thing on the menu, but quite rich so you can split that and the pork with someone and be totally satisfied as the portions are huge.\n\nOne of us had the coffee crusted steak, and the rub was just too spicy to really enjoy the meat. The fish was bland and slightly overcooked. Desserts were awful. Seriously, how hard is it to make good churros? The donuts at a fast food restaurant are better!\n\nIf you are a fan of Bobby Flay's other restaurants -- Bar Americain is one of my favorites -- you will be very disappointed here. The quality, service and atmosphere are just so mediocre it really disappoints. Oh, and the price - I think it's more expensive than eating in his restaurant in Manhattan, which is just mind-boggling because this is Vegas, for God's sake.

Family went with a groupon deal and we were all very satisfied and plan on returning. Got the taco flight, which gives you five different kinds of tacos, three of each. It seemed like each one was better than the last. My personal favorites were the chicken and the carne asada. The pico de gallo and guacamole was excellent as well. Tried a blueberry \"craft\" margarita, also pretty good. Bunch of options for margaritas as far as flavors and tequila options. Overall great visit!

We got here two friends after we saw the reviews on yelp and it was just great.\nService was super fast and friendly \nFood was in the table after maybe 3 minuths \nAnd the price was unbeatable $10.78 for two people, wow\nI would recommend them to everybody \nThank you

We were recently at Geisha a Go-Go for a friends birthday for dinner and karaoke. First we did dinner, then karaoke in the BIG room, which was a blast.\n\nMy issue was our waitress. We were there on a Tuesday night and we were some of the only people in the place, so the excuse \"it was just really busy\" doesn't apply. A couple of us ordered Hot Rock dinners, which were supposed to come with rice. Our meals came with no rice and when we brought it up to the waitress, the following conversation ensued:\n\nUs: Hi, I think our meal is supposed to come with rice, right?\nWaitress: Yeah, but usually the meat is filling enough, so I didn't bring it out.\nUs: Okay, but it's listed on the menu.\nWaitress: I know.\n\nUm, I'm still being charged for it, right? And the Shrimp Hot Rock meal came with 3 shrimp and a tiny Asian salad. Wow, how filling. There were other issues with her service, like bringing out the other, more expensive wine that I didn't ask for twice.\n\nI will probably never go back to Geisha for a meal, but it is a good place for drinks at the bar with friends on the weekend. Or on a weeknight if you don't want a big crowd but fun atmosphere.\n\nThe reason for the \"Meh, I've experienced better\" rating, and why it is not at an \"Eek! Methinks not\" is because we did have a good time...when we didn't have to deal with the waitress.

Love Maverick Rock Taco! This place is a hip trendy atmosphere with a rock n' roll twist. Say hello to street tacos done an American way. The parking is a little cramped for my style, but once you enter this restaurant you will forget all about the parking. My favorite tacos are the Carribean Chicken tacos. Definitely try the green rice & mango slaw. Two of my favorite side dishes. Top your food off with an ice cold beer or a margarita. My boyfriend & I at least come here once a week. We love the food because we never feel that Mexican baby belly once we live! Great place for kids, parties, or to just socialize with friends. They also have t.v.s hanging up so those sports fanatics can watch the game! Afterwards go bar hop down Montford!

I'm slowing picking off members of my family and converting them to dim sum. Ah yes, domination by egg custard or, perhaps, bok choy. It serves as a solid culinary experience when I can't venture to Chinatown in San Fran for a fix. C-Fu offers a fantastic selection of barbeque pork buns (steamed is better, according to youngest bro), eggplant stuffed with shrimp (my fave) and spicy calamari. Consider it tapas, Chinese style.

I find that much of the food tastes the same; not exactly the same, but the same in that 'massive chain' sort of way. But, it's still a good option for early morning or late night food.\n\nI like the one in Palazzo better. This one is open 24 hours a day, which is important, but it's sooo huge and sooo busy that the service kinda sucks.

Incredibly tasty gluten free treats. Opera cake, cake pops, cupcakes & cheesecake were amazing! Lower rating due to the lack of smiles & friendliness while we were there. The prices are a little high as well, but worth it. Improve the ambience, serve larger coffees, offer glassware to eat off of while there & have a more enthusiastic staff & it would have a much higher rating. I do a lot of my own baking, if I lived here locally it wouldn't be worth the stop. Visiting Vegas and craving a GF treat...totally worth the stop.

Great find this place is very cool. Small but love the atmosphere, staff, food selection, wine selection. If your looking for a casual time out sit at the bar and watch the chef's Chef it up!!!

We are frequent visitors to the Scottsdale area and have historically liked this place. Last night was a HUGE disappointment. The restaurant was quite empty, but that didn't stop the service from being incredibly slow. Our waiter was cool, bordering on sullen. When we asked for more water, he came by and said in a snooty voice, \"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you\", then proceeded to do just that. We had the guacamole (made at our table), which was excellent. However, it sat at our table all by its lonesome for a good five minutes before he thought to bring chips. He rarely checked on us and at one point, we flagged down another server who stepped in and brought us water and chips. If you go, ask for her section (Mo). I eat out a fair bit and this place wins the prize for the worst service I've had in two years at least. Having said that, the food was pretty darn good (albeit pricey). The chicken enchilada was a tad bland, but the chile relleno was very good as was the mole. All in all, I'd give the service a \"generous\" one and the food a four. One of my pet peeves about dining out is needing to have good service. Great food is only half the equation. Servers who don't check on me, or keep my water filled (I drink a lot of it) annoy the heck out of me. Maybe Mo will do better.

The 1 star is for\n- the place itself, really good looking with a nice open kitchen\n\nThe 4 missing stars are for: \n- the most annoying waiter ever! He was constantly around us, I felt like he didn't eat for 2 months and wanted to eat from our plates \n- the food was really \"eeehhhh\" ( it was the 1st ting that came to my mind), no flavor, oily, and kind of expensive. Only my daughter enjoyed her food! I asked for the salad but I guess the green salad didn't make it to my plate... So I got 1 tomato, 3 basil leaves, 1 slice of mozzarella and 1 tea spoon of pesto for..... $12!!!! Another example? The creme br\u00fblee! It was some vanilla pudding with a lot of caramel on top and all of it in a filo dough that was way over cooked... The price? $10!!! And the waiter wanted to make sure my husband and my kid loved it. He asked 4 times! \n- the owner if the place seems to have lots of friends and invites them with their noisy kids running around, screaming, slamming the doors,... Well you got it...\n- the last point is for the seats, they are amazing for TALL people. I'm 5\"1... I felt like a kid, my chin was so close from table I could smell the lack of flavor and spices in the food!\nNow you know.

Me, my husband and my best friend went to have breakfast on Monday morning. \nI was very excited about this place. Former chef from Casino, New downtown restaurant and cool interior.... \nYes It is located at very weird area...you don't want to hang out on the street near the Eat. after dark. Only serving breakfast and lunch is a great idea. I don't want to be there at night time. Anyway we found the restaurant without any problem with my navi.\nBut I didn't have any Quarters for the parking. I went inside and asked for some change. \nRestaurant was beautiful. Very hip, great vibe and cool California style...felt like i was at Santa Monica somewhere not in downtown LV.\nMy friend ordered Smoked Salmon, my husband ordered Shrimp and Grits and a side of pancakes, and I ordered Truffled Egg Sandwich. \nMaybe our expectation was TOO high. Maybe Chef wasn't there when we were there. Sorry...every dish was nothing special... First of all Smoked salmon dish was just serving cream cheese, capers, sliced tomatoes, red onion and rye bread. My truffled egg sandwich...I can make better one at home. And my husband's Shrimp and Grits were the worst I've ever had. Shrimp wasn't season enough and the Grits were not season at all...not even salt. And coffee was luke warm.\nStaff was very nice and I loved the atmosphere. \nBut when you pay for $65($55for food and coffee+$10 for tip) for breakfast for 3 people. I'm expecting more than just serving store bought smoked salmon with cream cheese.\nI will give the chef credit, because they do use high quality products.\nWe want to see more than pretty presentation and hip dining space. The food need more flavor for that price.\nBut we will give them another shot.

One of my favorite meals in life is blueberry pancakes. The blueberry pancakes here need an urgent makeover, stat! I believe the blueberries were canned or frozen but definitely not the size or taste of a fresh berry. And the blueberry glob was spooned into the middle of the pancake upon cooking so the only time a blueberry is consumed is when you get to the center, which is a huge disappointment. Finally I feel the pancakes are overcooked or the mix balance needs adjustment, a great blueberry pancake is soft, fluffy, digestible and takes u back to grandma's kitchen. These were leathery, heavy in the stomach and unsatsifying. For the love of blueberry pancakes please show the pancake gods that better can be done.

So far, so good. \n\nI've only been here a couple of times and I don't have any major complaints given the price. The staff is friendly and it's clean. \nI have heard they have a pizza night which I strongly disagree with. The point of a gym is to promote a healthy lifestyle. I also could do without the candy at the front desk.

Sorry BRGR, \n\nI loved the atmosphere that BRGR had but the service and food were abysmal. \nThe waitress brusquely took our order and seemed irritated of our mere presence. We took the food togo to her delight and found that our medium burgers were seemingly fresh off the cow. \nI think that the burgers could have been delicious if given the time and would probably go to a different location. The burgers were pretty expensive and I'm sad I had to waste our time there.

I've always seen this restaurant while shopping in the forum shops.\nAfter a recommendation from a worker at LV, we ecided to give it a try.\n\nThe service: the staff were very professional and knew the menu backwards and forwards. They knew what to recommend, and they were right. \nThe food: Crab cakes for appetizer - ding ding ding! delicious, and not at all fishy.\nThen came the salad : delicious and fresh! I've tried several of their salads, and I have yet to be disappointed. The bisque is fail-proof as well. \nThen, the pasta. It was cooked to perfection and was seasoned well. \n\nI have yet to dry dessert from here.\nI always end up stuffing myself with the entrees, that by the time dessert menu rolls around... I am ready to roll around and go to bed. LOL

This restaurant is located in the Rio Casino/Hotel. Not much to say. Waiters not friendly; hostess not friendly; food below average. In fact, one of the worst burgers I've ever had. Not fresh ground beef, but instead one of those hockey-puck burger patties that was bland, dry and chewy. The fries were excellent. When I asked for a replacement soda, as mine was flat and warm, the waiter told me that they are all like that. ? Would not eat here again despite some of the good reviews.

I would really love to give this place a review but unfortunately I was not able to. Most of the time this would be no big deal. However they only had two people getting pedicures and she told me to come back 2.5 hours later to get a service when on the front door it very clearly states that walk-ins are welcome and accepted.

I have eaten here on several occasions for lunch, and I have mixed reviews about the place. It's not horrible, but its not the greatest either.\n\nFor starters, they are tucked away in a really weird spot. Its in the ASU center, and if you did not know it was there, I really don't know how you would find it. It's also a rather small location, so there is actually no seating inside the place. All you can really do is place an order, and take it to go.\n\nThe few times I have been in there, the service has been pleasant, but not great. There is a guy who has waited on me before, and I believe he is either the owner, or a manager. He's friendly and nice, but always involved in a conversation with someone else. It seemed like the people that he was talking to were his friends, and I had to wait for him to finish talking to them before I could get any service. Plus, its not like hes neccesarily \"waiting\" on them. He's \"shooting the breeze\" so to say. Can you say annoying? Im on lunch hour here people, I don't have time to play games. I just want to eat my lunch and be done with it, ya know?\n\nAnyways, they seem to have a decent menu of items, but the prices are ridiculously expensive. I can't believe how much this guy charges for his sandwiches. like $7 for a cheapo sandwich. The food is good, and the portions are good, but I just find that its not worth the $7-$10 at all...plus you have no seating, and you ignore me when I come in? yyyeeeaaa.

What does it say about a restaurant that you've been to before, but don't remember?\n\nLast January (a whole NINE MONTHS ago), my wife and I had lunch here with her brother, niece and nephew. So now we're back in Las Vegas for a conference, and I make reservations at Comme \u00c7a -- only to realize, once seated, that, \"Hey -- this place looks familiar.\"\n\nCan I just point out that doesn't bode well for the rest of the meal?\n\nWe were a party of six. We dined here on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011. It's not even 48 hours later, and I cannot remember what I ordered. Now the wine was the 2007 Navarro \"Methode l'Ancienne\" Pinot Noir (which the sommelier painstakingly pointed out was his last bottle). I know three of the people ordered salmon for their main course. I know that my wife ordered the fris\u00e9e-and-lardon salad. But that's pretty much it.\n\nCan I just point out this, too, doesn't bode well?\n\nOTOH, the restaurant is one of the LOUDEST that I've experienced in quite some time. Painfully so, and this was due to the conversation at other tables, not music.\n\nThis, too, doesn't bode well . . . \n\nThe meal was good. Nothing more. None of us -- and the group of us dine out together frequently -- had anything bad; no one complained; no one returned their food to the kitchen. It was a good meal. And that was the problem: \"good,\" as in \"better than average,\" is simply not memorable, not enough of a reason to come back, not enough of a reason to recommend this restaurant to friends.\n\nWe used to say, in the wine trade, that the difference between a Gold, a Silver, and a Bronze Medal was the difference between a wine YOU would buy for yourself, a wine you'd recommend to your sister, and a wine you'd drink (but only if someone else was paying).\n\nComme \u00c7a is a bronze medal. (I only hope I remember that before I accidentally make yet another reservation here . . . . )

Thai Elephant is another offering by the same folks who own Thai Basil, and the similarities are obvious. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the large menu is fairly priced. That said, I was sorely disappointed by my first trip.\n\nFirst, my \"Drunken Fried Rice\" was identical to the spicy fried rice at Thai Basil. I mean identical. Disappointing in the extreme considering how good Drunken Noodles or Drunken Fried Rice can be when prepared correctly.\n\nSecond, the service was woefully inadequate. My lunch companions arrived at 11:55 and we placed our orders at 12:05. Our waitress disappared, not to be seen again until she brought our check. Another waitress finally delivered our order at 12:57. The food, though still warm was no longer hot. It also did not rise above the level of Thai Basil's average, but not impressive, menu.\n\nI may go back sometime, but I'll give them 6 months to figure out the whole customer service thing.

My favorite sushi place in Vegas. Good price, wide variety of items for all you can eat. I usually order, Nigiri (2 piece) salmon, tuna, garlic tuna, super white tuna, pepper seared tuna, yellowtail; and 3-4 rolls. They also have an entire menu for snack items for AYCE, get the AJ, it's seared tuna sashimi that is marinated, very good. 25$ AYCE dinner price. They also have deep fried ice cream for AYCE. love this place, and the friendly staff.

Tucked away inside a charming little house off the hustle and bustle of 7th Avenue is this gem that cooks up some of the best shrimp burritos around. They're refreshingly light, a welcome change after all the sauce-smothered enchilada style and heavy carne asada burros I've been scarfing down on my PHX-Mex tour. \n\nOh, they make a mean carne asada too...

I can't even begin to tell you how horrible this experience was for me. \n1st they told me it woudl be $30.00 for a retouch of highlights I get there they charge 90.00 for a retouch and a hair cut with no style.... WOW I can go to a salon in Scottsdale for cheaper than that... The ladies at the front were extremely rude!!!!!! I left with wet hair so I could not really see the style.. I wake up and my hair is a nightmare!!!! I still have a 1/2 of no highlights.. my bangs are uneven and soooo short.. and the each side of my head is completely different!!!! I have never cried over hair unitll this morning.... PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY.. do not go to this place... they are rude and uneducated!!!!

If you come to Vegas and want to visit some dancing gals than you pretty much have to visit Sapphire's, but it is little more than an answer to a trivia question. Yes, it is the world's largest strip club. However, the quality leaves much to be desired. Treasures' Club is far superior in terms of talent and experience. You will have a much better time and spend slightly less at Treasure's compared to the over priced mediocrity at Sapphire's.

Other than showing up with food, Silver Mine Subs had a worse than Subway subs performance. They did show up with food, which is ...good? But really, the hot sub was cold and obviously had never been warmed based on the rock hard never been melted provolone. I guess they will work in a pinch, but really, really sub-par.

Not sure why so many love this place ,it's probably the \"WOW\" factor of the massive portions as you are being served.To me it's just average food with huge portions.....\n\nBeen here at least 6 times now with friends that love to go here ,but I never seem to leave satisfied .Great for bacon lovers, since they seem to put it in everything except your drink! (I don't eat pork).They put sage in just about everything too....\n\nTo me they try to make food too fancy and pretty, I wish they would just make it simple and tasty. I would rather go to IHOP.

This place is awesome & conveniently so close to my house. I'm developing a froyo addiction after discovering Island Frozen Yogurt Bar. They have a great selection of fresh fruit (including my two favorites pineapple & kiwi yum) and candy. My only complaint would be that their yogurt flavors are a bit limited compared to other places I've been to. They have about 10 to select from. But the flavors they do have are all great. My self-served froyo always ends up being absolutely delicious.

I went to the MIM today for their opening with the girlfriend. It was a pretty fun experience, but it's definitely not operating at 100% yet--many, many exhibits were still listed as under construction, and plenty with the a/v setup were missing the accompanying text placards which annoyed me.\n\nThe price is $15 for adults and includes an audio headset that will automatically tune to whatever exhibit you're standing in front of. This technology isn't bulletproof, but with the receiver box in my pocket, I had no real issues: walk up to a display, the sound starts playing for that display's TV. Much better than having to dial in to every single exhibit, and lets you float from display to display with ease. \n\nThe displays themselves are a bit dry. The formula is basically: country of origin, some instruments from said country, TV playing a few short pieces on a loop demonstrating said instruments. There are placards on many of the displays that talk a bit more about some of the cultures and backgrounds, but these are still missing at a bunch of displays. (Forgivable, as I'm sure they're working on it and today was their grand opening.) More frustrating was the lack of information about many of the specific instruments they had on display. There is a simple name, date, and material placard, but I would be much more interested to know certain details about many, many of the instruments on display, regarding their specific manufacture and history and craftsmanship, but this was only available on a relative few of the instruments there.\n\nThat said, there are TONS of instruments there, including some really great ones you've surely never seen before. (One of my favorites was basically a stringed, fiddle-like instrument amplified with a brass horn.) Basically every single country in the world and many other regions are represented, though I thought it peculiar that Eritrea and Ethiopia shared a display, considering their hate for each other and very recent war--I know the two nations are close and likely have incredibly similar musical histories and instruments, but it just seems a bit strange.\n\nThe facility itself is beautiful. It's all brand new, clearly, and crafted in a sweeping limestone-looking facade. There's plenty of room and the building is well laid out. \n\nWe arrived around 2:00 and spent a good two hours upstairs in their instruments exhibits, before grabbing a drink at the cafe. Neither of us realized how quickly the time had passed, so by the time we were in the artist exhibit room, the 15 minute warning had come over the loudspeaker.\n\nThe Artist Exhibits room was really quite cool. John Lennon's \"Imagine\" piano was on display with a ridiculously short clip of him playing on it. Eric Clapton's display was really fun to see as well, along with Paul Simon's. And then, as I turned the corner, I happened upon, I shit you not, a Jonas Brothers display. What. The. Fuck. (Lovingly donated by the Jonas Brothers.) I physically avoided it so as to keep their music from coming over my headset, but I truly was disappointed that the bar was lowered to \"any Disney-pop boy band that sends a few instruments\" to be featured here in a room with Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, and John fucking Lennon, amongst others. Even the Black Eyed Peas exhibit donated by their drummer showed some talent, but I guess I had hoped that a more esteemable career might be necessary to be featured in such an exhibit.\n\nAfter blazing through that room, we quickly moved into the Mechanical Music exhibit which was really fun: instruments designed to play themselves like player pianos and other crazy contraptions, including a huge built-in... I don't know what to call it. An enormous organ-type device that was playing all sorts of instruments on its own, quite loudly, but in a very fun manner.\n\nWe quickly moved through there and then pushed down towards the Conservation Lab: Behind a huge glass wall, you can see their conservators inside working on instruments which was really fun, but we didn't get to explore in there at all.\n\nOpposite that room was the hands-on exhibit, which I was *really* excited to dive in to, but just as we got our hands \"on\" the Theremin, (a device you play by moving your hands above an antenna) we were promptly told the museum was closing. At 4:50pm. Look, I understand that 5:00pm is closing time and they want to start wrangling people towards the exits, but I could've *really* enjoyed just those remaining 10 minutes in there, and it was frustrating that I didn't get it. \n\nThe upstairs is interesting, but it quickly becomes a bit of \"more of the same\" and a bit of overload--you'll want to pace yourself, because there are just so. many. instruments that you start doing drive bys instead of really soaking things in. That, combined with the disappointing lack of collateral information visible to read on each display made me really wish we had started downstairs. \n\nI'll give it another shot when they've settled in, I think.

Your standard I-Hop or Denny's style menu. The food was good and they serve large portions and the price is a bit much. I had the biscuits and gravy which came with 2 eggs, hashbrowns and choice of bacon or sausage. I selected the sausage, which was HORRIBLE! Next time I will order the bacon. Overall good and I would eat there again.

I ordered a chicken taco, but I've had much better. Go to Chipotle or Qdoba or Blue Burrito instead ... the customer service and food is SO much better. Yes I know they're not real \"Mexican\" food but neither is this place. Lol.\n\nAlso, the owner was really, really rude and unfriendly. I haven't had service this bad in awhile.\n\nThis place is just ... ick.\n\nEdited to add: If you're interested in legit Mexican food, go to America's Taco Shop on 1st Street. It's SO good and the service is excellent. Much better than this place.

WHEW Sweet Baby Jesus!! The food here was amazing!! I wont lie after eating at the one in The Plaza I was a little turned off by their food. However after some convincing I am glad I made this trip! I got the Andy's Fried Chicken Benedict... MOUTH WATERING!! The mashed potatoes were amazing, The biscuits soft, the chicken juicy and crispy!! Just amazing!!

If you've never heard of frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity 3 then you've obviously been hiding under a shell. Everyone talks about it and its exactly what it sounds like. Hot chocolate that's frozen and served with whipped cream on top. It might not be worth the $11, but then again you are in Vegas and nothing is cheap. Just relax and pay the price. It's worth it when you're craving something cold and sweet on a hot day. I've also tried the jalape\u00f1o bacon pretzel. It was huge, but it didn't taste that great. It felt like it was out for several hours so the texture wasn't that great.

I'm super sad to say that the last few times I've been back to Shoku has been super hit or miss, and when I say super, I mean SUPER. For example, I picked up to go the Buta-San ramen, which is what I usually get there, and it was really good. I was very happy, even though it tasted very different from when I first visited the restaurant. Then the other day I went back and decided to try the Tonkatsu, which shouldn't be all that different from the Buta-san since it's the same broth. It just simply was not good. The broth had no flavor whatsoever and there were 3 dismal little pieces of chashu that were also flavorless. There was also what looked like this black oil that they had mixed into the broth that kind of stuck to the side of the bowl and tasted like what can only be described as \"char\". The noodles also seemed different and undercooked.\n\nI was really excited for this place because it's so close to my house and though it was not my favorite ramen place, I still really enjoyed the food here. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be stopping in here again. I am willing to drive the extra distance to Spring Mountain to get a guaranteed good bowl of ramen.

Nice place for lunch or an early dinner. If you get there early, you'll get a table right away. Otherwise, you may be out of luck, as it is quite small. \n\nTheir soups are quite tasty and flavorful. The salad, I could've lived without. It was kind of wilty and blah. The empanadas are delicious, despite the cilantro. They have a hearty, starchy filling and a light pastry crust. \n\nIf they have the chile relleno special - get it! It's unlike any relleno you have ever had. Instead of being chocked full of cheese, it is filled with a melange of beans and other goodies.\n\nThe shrimp cocktail is a must-try too -- mostly for the salsa and avocados they are served on. The rest of it was kind of meh. We ended up scooping out the other bits and slathering it on the rest of our food.\n\nCome early and come hungry!

The food is phenomenal. The prices are fantastic. The service stinks! Had only takeout from here @ work. Delivery can & does take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. The food arrives hot & delish. One day decided to get some take out on the way home since I had to pass it. Not greeted upon entering. Ignored while waiting. Finally they take the order. They will not give you a small cup of hummus/baba gannoush/eggplant caviar. It's appetizer size or nothing. Okay. For some insane reason (hunger) I waited for 35 minutes. No one bothered to tell me anything about my order, wasn't offered any water, 2 tables who arrived after me got their orders b4 me. That was it. Got up & left. I'm sure they gave my order 2 someone else. Of the 2 waitresses working the half full restaurant I'm not sure who was worse, surly witch or I can't b bothered with u now I'm chatting. Okay, so the food is really good & very inexpensive with nice portions...I could have made it faster myself at home (including shopping/marinating).

Better than average sushi. Vegas roll is excellent. I highly recommend going during happy hour if you want reasonable prices.

Pita on a budget! hahah so don't expect more elaborated gyros! I tried the lamb one and taste was good, plus at ASU you can find a deal card, so fries and beverage was included in the final price. Place is ok, but not sure if I would really like to sit there, while hearing meaningless college conversations.

WARNING: If you have booked a room here online make sure you call them in advance to confirm.\n\nSound bizarre? I thought so too. My boyfriend and I turned up after I had payed online for a room in the pyramid, exhausted and smelly from our road trip only to be to told that the king size room in the pyramids were overbooked and that we could either have a room with two queens and switch the next night, or stay in one of the towers. We opted for the latter choice, too tired and in need of a shower to argue the c**k-and-bull story (pardon the language) the guy was giving us that even though we had payed for the room online we hadn't call to confirm or something along those lines.\n\nI have never heard of anything like this before. \n\nApart from that, the room we got was nice enough, although there was no mini-fridge or safe- although there is a place close to reception you can lock up any valuables you may have with you.\n\nThe hotel has what you expect in Vegas, lots of slots and tables, as well as shops and it connects with Madalay Bay and Excalibur.\nThe pools were crowded (no surprise there) but pleasant to jump into.\n\nAs far as prices go it is affordable. I signed up online for their email list prior to booking and got a small discount. It's not like we spent much time in our hotel room so we didn't really care about not getting the one we originally booked- I just found their response bizarre.\n\nNevertheless I can now tell my future grandchildren that I stayed in a Pyramid. Almost.

Frickin awesome!!!! I love secret pizza! I totally wanna open up a place like this in Hawaii! No frills just great pizza and great service! Definitely hitting up this place next time I call in sick!

Quality of cheese steaks is good and the ingredients for both the steaks and salads are equally good, for me. I only have one problem which is why it is given only 3 stars and that has to do with the cleanliness of the restaurant and my observations of some techniques used in the kitchen and that can be observed while sitting inside the restaurant. The windows have probably not been cleaned for a while now as there were dead \"gnat like\" insects lining the ledges and near the two tables which are arranged alongside these ledges that I have observed between a visit several days ago (Mar 12, 2013) and my current visit on March 14, 2013). Since doors are open many times during this time of year, specifically, it may prove to be a non-issue, as the days increasingly become warmer. I did observed the staff handling the lettuce, onions and other ingredients by hand. (Note: Even if a staff member, cook or the preparation staff uses the restroom and washes their hands, for example, touching any community surface(s) or the door handle to that restroom, and after washing your hands, ultimately cancels out the hand washing benefits. Touching doors and surfaces and then preparing things like salads, or touching rolls used for sandwiches is obviously an oversight but still poor habits for an food preparing establishment. I usually rely on the fact that the meat inside is cooked sufficiently with the onions that there will be no apparent issues upon devouring it as a sub! To date, I hesitate to go back but I have done so due to the cooking effect (heat) and quality of the hot subs offered. I hope the owner or manager reads these comments because I would have loved to have given 4 stars on this restaurant; however, hygiene is as important as the product taste at the end of the day. Food illness is very serious and no one wants to play Russian Roulette with a meal's contents and rely on any external effect to correct the deficiency that can be eliminated upfront and in the first place. Barring the issues described and/or observed above, a 3/5 star rating seems to match well with my experiences here.

First, let me start by saying that the service here is impeccable. It's so 5-star that you won't believe it!\n\nUnfortunately, the food doesn't get quite that high a rating. \n\nStarted with delicious bread and butter; French, a parm crisp and a raisin bread. All were delicious. My water was kept filled the entire visit. \n\nImmediately got the warm spinach salad and it was lukewarm at best. I really like my warm to be warm, warm. Not so-so-not-really, warm. That's what this was. The vinaigrette was bitter and the bacon tasted processed, not real. The mushrooms were okay, but odd for a spinach salad, I thought. Distracting.\n\nI asked for a bone-in steak and they told me they had Porterhouse. According to the menu it was the best steak on the menu. I ordered it medium rare.\n\nWhen it came out it had the strangest dull sheen to it. It didn't even look like meat. It had the grill marks, but seriously, I was worried. I cut into it and it was medium, which I don't care for, but more toward the center it was better. \n\nThe first thing I thought of when I took my first bite of steak was, this has to be the cheapest cut of meat I've ever eaten. Being a huge fan of steak I can immediately tell whether this is going to be okay or not. No, it wasn't. And, I disagree; $38 for a steak is NOT cheap. And, it's really expensive when it's this grade of meat. Which is, grade F for FAIL. \n\nFor sides I had the baby button mushrooms. They were okay. It's hard to mess up a mushroom around me. I also had the vegetable risotto which was undercooked, but had really nice, big pieces of vegetables. Had it been more cooked it would have been awesome. \n\nI am not sure if I just got a bad cut of meat here, or what, but it doesn't hold a candle to the other steak places in Vegas, and for almost $87 for drinks, steak, sides and a tip, I feel like I got ripped off. \n\nI would not recommend, which is sad, because the restaurant and service are amazing.

Came here to cool off from the 104 Vegas heat and ordered an iced latte. Pretty terrible espresso but they offered me a refund and the ice blended drink was good. Wouldn't come back but I was happy that they gave me a refund even though they had to call upper management to do so.
