Restaurent name is: Casa Cocina review: Service was attentive and food was decent, some say bland,as they must like a lot of salt and seasoning, which I like to add a little salt,not overdo the seasoning, like most places I have been too. I got the shrimp fajitas and was amazed the huge shrimps I got, yummy... Lots of onions and some bell peppers, which I know come with it , but really do not partake.. The rice was a little stiff, not soft and fluffy..\nAnd the chips with bean dip was yummy too, and change from the salsa mix...\nthe extra star for service.... Pretty good spot for Mexican. Food is good, prices are good, and it\'s really not too far out from where I\'m at (Henderson/Green Valley area.) Compares pretty nicely against the food options at Sunset Station and some of the other "nicer" Henderson casinos, and the property itself is pretty legit. Definitely recommend. The chips were good,but is that saying much? I will give them kudos on their service,because they were very attentive. I ordered the carne asada burrito (and you know that's the thing I check for first usually if you are a Mexican establishment) with rice and beans. The burrito was average but the thing that didnt set well for me was their rice. It tasted like it was out the box. This place has a long way to go to beat Vivo Michocan, Fausto's, Super Mex,etc... We started off with Mango Margaritas, the obligatory salsas and chips and a delicious (complimentary) tortilla soup. Our entrees were Red Snapper Coscina - saut\xc3\xa9ed red snapper filet with a zesty tomato and cilantro sauce accompanied by rice and homemade refried beans. A picture of our entrees may be found in Webster\'s Dictionary under the page heading "Mediocre". We concluded the meal by sharing a caramel flan that was too dense, but very tasty. I like the food here. It is good because they have a veggie been dip, so good. I have the tostada with the veggie beans and its good. Margaritas are good too.

Restaurent name is: Tarboosh Restaurant review: Falafel was fresh, crispy on the outside, soft in the inside.\nOrdered chicken shawarma platter and the mixed grill platter which had one of each chicken, beef, lamb skewers. (With the choice of 2 sides for each platter)\nI don't know what else to say other than that it was the bomb.com.\nSo good. So tasty. Prolly the best middle eastern food I've ever had so far.\n\nI went on a wed night. It was not busy at all which was quite surprising but it was great that we didn't have to wait long.\n\nI am definitely gona come back when I'm craving for some falafel and shawarma. \n\nBless the Lebanese people for the food. Best Shawarma, falafel, Lebanese food in the GTA!\nThis hidden gem has been a family and friends favourite for years. The quality and freshness of food is unparalleled, dont let the hole in the wall look deceive you, the owner/head cook is an extremey dedicated individual who ensures the quality of his food is top class.\n\nMust haves:\n- Chicken/Beef Shawarma Sandwich(add hot sauce and fries to the sandwich)\n- Chicken/Beef Shawarma plate (the quality of meat is outstanding)\n- Tarboosh plate\n- Lentil soup (add lemon)\n- Mixed grill\n- Vegetarian buffet (if you're vegetarian)\n\nEnjoy! My favourite middle eastern meal. Every bit as good as mom makes! Best tabouli you can get anywhere. Great staff. Like a Harvey's of Middle Eastern -- clean, modern, well-stocked and fresh.\n\nThe only place in the immediate area that I've found to be populated and have fresh shwarma spinning at noon on a Sunday.\n\nI had the falafel plate for 8$. The portion of falafel and rice was generous, but it also unexpectedly came with a monster side salad and a pita. Recommended.\n\nDebit accepted. Not sure about MC/Visa..\n\nP.S. Also has a big breakfast menu, but I haven't tried yet. $5 big breakfast looked good. Tarboosh has been around for a very long time and the quality hasn't changed since I remember going there over 15 years ago. If you're just looking for a good place to take out or sit down, this is one of the best options in the surrounding area. \n\nI strongly suggest the beef or chicken shawarma. I would say the beef shawarma is one of the best I've had in Canada (plate or pita bread). The ingredients always seem to be fresh and I'm a big fan of their garlic sauce. \n\nMy only reservation about Tarboosh is I'm not the biggest fan of their hummus. Other than that, Tarboosh is a great place and I would recommend it to anyone.

Restaurent name is: Flaming Kitchen review: The food can easily be made at home but it's still very delicious! I got it at half price during their promo and feel as if full price isn't worth it. I came here for dinner tonight, craving the jumbo scallop spaghetti with black truffle sauce. I tried it for the 1st time the week before and loved it! The taste of truffle was definitely present. \nMister ordered the curry pork cutlet on the sizzling plate and we ordered the tom yum chicken on sizzling plate as an extra. You get a free appetizer for orders over $28. Last time we got the popcorn chicken. This time we ordered the shake shake fries with wasabi powder. \n\nHonestly, I love the food. No complaints with the pricing and portions...but what really bothered me was the service we received tonight (or in this case, didn't receive). \n\nWe were not served any water until halfway through our meal and only because I asked for it. \n\nThe worst part was paying for the meal. We paid with the cash the moment the bill was placed on our table, but had to wait a good 20 mins (half empty restaurant) and had ask 2 different times for someone to check on getting back the change.\nMeanwhile 3 tables who had asked for their bill after us already got up and left. \n\nI dunno....is the food really worth putting up with bad service? \nSo sad. I really liked their jumbo scallop black truffle spaghetti....but I don't think I'll be back a 3rd time. Ever been out with friends and you're the only one who wants hot pot and they're looking at you like why....? That's me :)\n\nI really like flaming kitchen cause it offers choice for everyone. And until their Midland location opened up, I had never heard of them. \n\nMy favorite here is their hot pot with milk soup base and lamb. And sometimes with extra squid balls. It's not cheesy at all and has a good milky flavour. The portions are also very good for 1 person. \n\nTheir shake shake fries are also ridiculous silly but yummy. I prefer wasabi. \n\nDessert is just okay. Worth trying if there's still room after all that food! I came here with a friend on a chilly day. Was quite busy when we arrived on a Friday evening for dinner. It's a fairly new place but they have various restaurants in the GTA. It was quite busy and it was packed when we arrived around 8. It's not a big place either so there's not many tables. They serve quite a unique selection of appetizers, sizzling Chinese dishes and desserts. It's quite hard to choose from the menu as there are so many good things to choose from. I ordered the black curry cutlet with rice. It took a bit longer to get our food but we finally got it. The rice and corn was just alright. The pork cutlet was crispy and delicious. Sauce was alright. Overall, a little bit pricey than I would expect but not a bad place to dine at. I would be happy to come back and try their other dishes along with their interesting looking drinks and desserts! Amazing food if you love spicy or greasy food. They have from apps to drinks to desserts. You'll sit down and have at least one item you want from each page of the menu. Great cost for huge portions.

Restaurent name is: Lily's Bistro review: Yummy food and a nice atmosphere! We have eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. Try the meatball appetizer, the lobster macaroni and cheese, and the homemade cheesecake. Music is nice too. LOVE Lily's Bistro! Happy that there is such a great restaurant in Lake Wylie I look forward to going there whenever I invite someone to join me for lunch or dinner I ordered this bistro salad with chicken it was delicious I loved there champagne dressing Upscale Italian cuisine. Perfect portions with a beautiful quaint environment. Perfect for date night or a nice family night out. Steak cooked to order. Authentic style Italion cuisine. Loved the salmon crab cakes from the appetizer side. A repeat for sure!! Great food , atmosphere, service and prices ! We will be back for more . It's about time we got a classy restaurant around here . Don't get me wrong you can take the family but for us it was pure romance . Loved it !

Restaurent name is: Double Dragon Buffet review: Many veg options however the rice noodles are cooked with chicken broth. I took a bite and tasted chicken, spit it out. Clean place good food. Went out with family and feel it was a complete waste of $60. I couldnt eat, had to go next door and get myself mexican. Buffet was empty and what was there was old and cold. Remember going as a family a few years back and loved it. Not this time. We wont be back. Went back. Still very good. The staff is above standard.. very nice and attentive. For the price of a fast food combo (or less) you get great food and good desserts. They have several scoop ice creams and ice cream machine. They have sushi but I dont eat it. My family says its ok and I wouldnt expect expensive ingredients at a low cost buffet. Its good food low price nice people and I cannot belive some of the more negative reviews. What a horrible place ! Food is sub standard and when brought to managements attention they just don't care . Also $80 for four people please . Did they fly the food over from china. This place is great! \nFirstly, it's actually pretty nice inside. Buffets normally have their fair share of ripped chairs and booths and banged up tables. This place has none of that. In addition the dining area is open and big, not claustrophobic feeling like most places.\nThere's three big sections of food, as well as a Mongolian bbq and sushi.\nWe will be coming back here soon!

Restaurent name is: Gold Mine Bar & Grill review: Our waitress was a complete sweetheart. However I ordered my burger medium rare and it came out well done with char on the outside, I didn't give a chance for recovery, because I was too hungry, but I hate well done burgers. Anywho I asked about a drink another lady had, a tequila sunrise and the waitress told me they were buy one get one free until 5 pm, and I told her I don't like tequila but could\nI get it with rum and she said sure thing, so because of her sweetness and her awesomeness I give this place a 3 star. A little above average breakfast experience. We are staying at our timeshare and didn't want to venture out too early.\n\nEggs were good, sausage the same. Service was actually quite good.\n\nWe will likely stay in for breakfast for the next few weeks once we get out and buy a few groceries. The only restaurant on the Holiday Inn at Desert Club Vegas property. Given they have a captive audience I did not expect much, but was happily surprised by how good the burgers were! Also ordered nachos - decent but would not order again - remind me of carnival nachos (nacho cheese sauce, jalapenos, inexpensive round chips - works in a pinch but not something you crave again). Prices were on par for a property restaurant ($11 burger & fries, $8 nachos). Very friendly servers. Really enjoyed the Club Sandwich and the fries. Staff was very friendly. Super location for those staying on property. Casual fun environment. I stopped by for breakfast. The breakfast burrito was surprisingly good. The only reason I didn't give them more stars was that the service was slow and the staff seemed more rushed than concerned about guests. \n\nIf you have time for a leisurely breakfast stop by for breakfast here. If you are in a rush skip this place.

Restaurent name is: North Italia review: Can't think of anything bad to say about this place. The food is fantastic and the ambiance is top notch. Perfect restaurant for Vegas on a warm night, hopefully you can sit outside. Prices are steep but I wouldn't say it's too overpriced to not deem a 5-star. Awesome atmosphere and food! Friendly staff, especially our server Alissa! Great personality! \n\nWill be back whenever we are in town! 5 stars! First time in & me and my husband had a great evening. First we enjoyed the truffle bread it is to die for! We decided to try the house made pasta . The tortelloni and bolognese was also amazing. Our server Chelsea helped us navigate through the menu and pair the Barolo with our pasta dishes . She was one of the best servers we've ever had! If you come to north Italia ask for Chelsea ! First time i went it was so so. Second time was better. Best to make a reservation on open table. It was way better experience when we made a reservation. I asked to be close to the tv cuz the playoffs were on and they did accommodate me I really liked this place when it first opened. We went first in January of this year. We went again last week and I wasn't as impressed with the quality of the food. \n\nPossibly if we didn't go on a Saturday, it would have been better since it was so busy and took awhile for the food to come out.\n\nWe both ordered the bolognese and it wasn't as good as it was when they first opened.\n\nOur server was great just everything was slowed down due the dinner rush.\n\nHopefully the quality of the food goes back to how it was when they first opened or I sadly won't be returning.\n\nStill adore the decor and inviting feeling both times we visited.

Restaurent name is: Monical's Pizza review: Pizza is delicious. Service is pretty good for the most part.\nTwo drawbacks here, one-they don't deliver until after 4 even though they are open for lunch.\nTwo-When you enter the restaurant, the doorway hits you with a very odd, very strong odor. Smells like a nail salon. It is a very strong odor that can give you a headache or make your stomach turn a bit. :-( Looks so much better after their remodel! Servers are great, however, the management team here is very uncaring. The female manager in there was just cussing up a storm in the back for all to hear in the diner, but when you say something to the others in charge they don't care one bit. The management team has no respect for the customers. Pizza perfection! Although the toppings were not evenly distributed, as you can see, the pie was yummy! The salad was just right--crispy lettuce bed, flavorful tomatoes, and cheddar cheese on top. Service was on spot! How to start? Got to Monical's at 7 on a Saturday night. Waited 5 minutes at the hostess station to be seated and the restaurant was fairly empty. The hostess gave us a fine table and was super friendly. And it stopped there. Really! We waited another 10-15 minutes for ANYONE to take our order, offer us water, acknowledge our presence, something! Nope.\nSeveral servers were cleaning other tables, sweeping the floor and reorganizing chairs throughout the restaurant. Not one noticed a table of 6 people. Other customers received their food, so somehow a server noticed them at some point. \nFinally, we just got up and left. And NOT ONE SERVER NOTICED! \nSo I can't rate their food because how would I know? \n\nWe did have a wonderful dinner....somewhere else. Great pizza. Probably the best place to eat in Rantoul. The staff and managers are always really nice. I would give 5 stars but they would need to start delivering to Gifford. I love on 136 and watch Other pizza delivery vehicles go by several times a night.

Restaurent name is: Los Cucos Mexican Cafe review: Again, Dennis was an awesome waiter. Ask for him and you wont be disappointed. Food was excellent and the Mariachis were so enjoyable. Sorry if I didnt spell that correctly. Thank you! Happy Sinco de Mayo! EXTREMELY disappointed in our last to go order. I have dined here several times and have had the fajitas a la pablanas with shrimp. A picture of their menu is on Yelp and this dish is there. It is CLEAR that you order a fajita style and pick your protein. My mother and I ordered a to go order of these fajitas to serve two. When I got to the restaurant I read my receipt and they had given us the pollo pablanos dinner but substituted shrimp. I started this was wrong, explained our order, and was asked to sit while they remade the dish. Of course, I was fine with this. 10 minutes later the manager came out and asked how I was doing. I said I was fine and was waiting on a remade to go order. He asked about what happened. I told him. He said he would go into the kitchen make sure it was right, but to be sure, show him what we wanted. I pointed to the menu. Pointed at the picture. He said they were again going to make the wrong thing and rushed to the back. He came back out, and I asked him with the menu in my hand and pointing, to confirm it was the correct dish. He assured me it was and said he would just charge us for the wrong dishes since they were cheaper to compensate for my trouble. He then proceeded to tell me he yelled at the order taker and made her cry and that they had 400 occupents so they were busy (a. I'd never ever want a server to cry for a simple mistake and b. I'm not sure the restaurant can hold 400, but I digress.)\nI get home and the dish is still wrong. It was horrible. No sauce. Rubbery shrimp with the tails on. No poblano peppers and DEFINITELY not fajitas. We called 5 times that night (because they weren't answering the phone and we had to keep trying) and they claimed they didn't make this dish. You know, the one I pointed to the picture of. They finally agreed to credit my card and said it would take 5 business days. Flash to 10 business days later and me calling because I still have not be reimbursed. The manager continues to claim they don't make this dish and never have, even though it's on the menu and I've ordered it multiple times. I just want my money back. The manager is put out by this and says he has to research the transaction and to call back in an hour. Alas, they never answered the phone that afternoon. I'm out my money. I REGRET ever telling people to go there. It's a shame. We were frequent customers but this has turned us off of the place completely. One star for service only- very friendly and welcoming. And we move on. Chips & salsa (red finely blended & green avocadoey/tomatillo- better of the 2) were bland which should have been a sign of what was coming. Nothing with red sauce anywhere on the menu. Ordered chimichanga & beef fajita stuffed avocado. Chimichanga came smothered in what can best be described as watered down canned Campbell\'s nacho cheese soup. Refried beans also appeared to be canned as they turned white as they sat on the plate. Stuffed avocado was crunchy and hard with chewy cheese inside. Tortilla soup was basic vegetable soup with tortilla strips & covered with a thick layer of onion soup cheese. Bland seems to be the going word here. Even the asked for Tapatio bottled sauce was bland. No spices. No jalapenos. Nothing TexMex about this place. Honestly this is what I would picture TexMex food would be like at either an Iowa preschool or senior center (where people require bland diets). Listening to other tables we heard "odd, strange and this is horrible" by people describing their meals and drinks. Sorry, won\'t be back. Love this place! They bend over backwards to make sure you are happy with their service! My husband is allergic to onions, so the manager had the cooks make his dinner with fresh meat that was not marinated using onions. Thank you for caring about your customers needs! First time going to this place and I have to say it's great. Maria the waitress was so wonderful and attentive. She went above and beyond to explain their Sunday special in great detail, which we will be back soon on Sunday to try it! The food itself was really good I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here.

Restaurent name is: Mariscos Vallarta review: I will be coming back soon. Everything was amazing! Service was fast and awesome. I ordered the fish ceviche and oysters and tasted fresh. Great oysters. Fish ceviche needed more flavor, but overall, everything was great. Friendly service. Wonderful place for AUTHENTIC, read AUTHENTIC Mexican seafood. They have shrimp cocktail, but the shrimp swim in a combination of clam juice, lime juice, and other ingredients. They are simply the best. These are NOT your American 99 cent shrimp cocktails. These are amazing. Also recommended is the Shrimp with Butter aka Shrimp ala Mantequilla. It comes with rice and salad. Tortillas, bread, and french fries are also served. The french fries in this place are not promoted very heavily (they are on the kids menu) but they are GREAT! I've tried a lot of stuff here and keep going back, week after week. Muy bueno. This is spot is way off the strip but nothing too crazy. Its worth the 10 minute drive based on taste customer service and quality of food. I need my Ceviche and this place delivered more than enough Came in for lunch and they do not have a lunch menu so yr left to buy any meal at dinner prices, over $11 dollars. Service is good, food is good but pricey for Mexican, portions are no very big, should include more items for that price. They tried to make it gourmet plates at high prices and that does not work for this location.\nThe ceviche tostadas are excellent, it's provably the only items that is worth the price, portion wise.\nMexican food is know for filling u up, this isn't French, please increase the portions or lower price.

Restaurent name is: Chapala's Mexican Restaurant review: Chapala's Mexican Restaurant is a huge space where the interior reminds me of those El Torito Restaurants, but without the high ceilings and second floor.\n\nStandard tortilla chips along with two kinds of salsa, one hot and the other mild, arrived at our table soon after we slid into our booth. \n\nThe Husband order a platter that included a hard taco, flauta, and a chili relleno. It was the first time he had a chili relleno, and unfortunately, it didn't leave a memorable impression. His meal also came with a soup and coffee.\n\nI ordered the shrimp enchiladas dish and it was really good. We were both pleasantly surprised by the plump shrimp in my enchiladas. Slices of avocado and tomatoes, along with a dollop of sour cream, laid on top of my meal. The gooey cheese all over my dish made it very good.\n\nService was friendly, our waitress came by to refill our beverages without asking and also to see if we needed more chips and salsa. We sat in a large dining room, but it looks like they have another room available for banquets. Booths and tables are both available and there is a large parking lot.\n\nOverall, Chapala's was fine for Mexican food. It wasn't extraordinary, nor as awful as the other yelpers have said. Then again, we got one great dish and one oh-so average dish.\n\nThey also offer an AYCE during lunch time, not sure when though. The food here was just not good. I've had better Mexican at Roberto's. There was hardly anyone dining when we went on a Sunday afternoon which I guess should have been a hint. The interior is a little run down. As another reviewer mentioned the cracked seats are in need of repair. Service was friendly enough but I see no reason to come back to this place. I took the majority of my food home and my four legged family did not complain so at least it didn't go to complete waste. This has to be the worst Mexican food in Las Vegas!!! I ordered the Chimichanga with Chili Colorado. It was 95% canned refried beans and 5% meat. It was topped with 1 black olive and a gigantic glob of sour cream, making it a soggy mess. The chips were like styrofoam, and the salsa tasted like something from the generic section of Walmart. The best part of the meal was the ice water. The slop they serve at Taco Bell and Robertos is far superior to this place. Other reviews talk about the Margaritas- if I had had enough of these, I might not care about the food here. The only positive was the waitress, who was very nice and attentive. I found a 2/1 coupon in the print edition of the RJ. We dined at the Tropicana location approximately 4 years ago, but this was our first time at this location. It took awhile for anyone to wait on us after being seated, but we eventually were served industrial taco chips and two bottled salsas. Our cheese enchiladas were accompanied by the usual refried beans, dried out Spanish rice and iceberg lettuce salad. The enchiladas were tasty, but everything else was very mediocre. I came here after I found a coupon in the paper. While I was looking through the articles I also read that they are closing this location down! The past couple of years I would just pass by now I wanted to cry in my Albondigas soup for not stopping by earlier.\n\n The soup was delicious it wasn't overly salty. They also serve chips and salsa while you wait for your meal. The salsa was sooo good! It is sweet and spicy and I couldn't stop eating it. I ordered the garlic shrimp with rice. It was delightful and could taste the garlic and buttery goodness bursting from the shrimp. I will have to visit there east side location when I'm in the area.

Restaurent name is: Masala Bhavan review: Very great Indian food. The price was good and the portions were large. \n\nHighly recommend the fish pakora, they were very good, fresh and tasty. Also enjoyed the Chinese fried rice. Great service as well. We'll be going back there again for sure. Have been there twice. Both times masala dosa and fish curry were great. We also ordered the paneer pakora appetizer. That was terrible. The batter was raw and the paneer inside was cold. A very good restaurant and excellent Indian quinine too!\n\nThe eggplant curry dish is the best I have had for one with eggplant as the main ingredient. The nan was very good as well - and served piping hot. The Chicken Tikka Masala was very tender and had excellent flavor in the sauce. The third dish we ordered was the Aloo Gobi and it also was an excellent example of well done Indian food.\n\nThe prices at this restaurant are very reasonable and the d\xc3\xa9cor is modern and clean. The service was fairly good, I suspect that they did not expect an almost full house this late on a Sunday when we dined so they might have done a bit better with another person. The service was very competent, and fortunately we were not in a rush to eat and get somewhere. We were their on Friday night with family. Awesome selection of menu' good food and friendly services. We ordered veg samosa, butter chicken, chicken Britain and lamb dosa. The portion was perfect, tastey and we enjoyed it. Masala Bhavan is just really excellent. It is probably the best South Indian food in Calgary. The South Indian fare is exceptional but all the food here is fresh and tastes great. And, I love their filter coffee. The chef here is awesome and very sweet. The weekend buffets are worth trying but their ala cart menu is a must try.

Restaurent name is: Quaker Steak & Lube review: garbage. ive never had such bad service in my entire life. im not sure if my waitress was stoned or a moron, or maybe she was just a stoned moron. she literally fucked up the whole tables order the whole night, not one time did she apologize either. for a minute i thought i was on a hidden camera prank show.not only did she not put our food order in she took my drink to get a refill and i shit you not didnt bring it back at all. literally didnt bring me a drink back, i told her 3 times about my drink and the chick just laughed and said sorry but the idiot still didnt bring it, so i asked for the check and wouldnt you know it it also was fucked up. she tried to charge me for beers no one ordered. and thats just the service lets talk about the food for a wing place their wings suck, you can tell they were boiled to the extreme. fancy greasy sauce wont save garbage cooking ever. Great service but the restaurant is filthy. Dust everywhere, and bathroom was gross. The place needs a serious detailing. I have had nothing but problems from them not receiving my order and then when they make it they forget party of my order. I have too check my order every time I get takeout. And getting sauces is like pulling teeth. I avoid that place as much as I can. My husband likes the wings but I go get it duo he doesn't have to deal with their rude takeout people. Great time at quaker steak and lube , great service , wonderful atmosphere , and a fun place to bring the family . Try their dipping chicken with any of the wonderful lube sauces it's to die for ! ! ! ! I was just at this Quaker Steak yesterday afternoon, and the staff there did something unbelievable. They took what could have been my worst restaurant experience, and turned it around into something amazing.\n\nI brought my father in in the early afternoon. He has been having severe back problems as of late, but wanted to get out and grab wings together. Upon entering, the hostess took us to our table. My dad made it about half way, and his back fully gave out. He couldn't move, and was stuck in pain in the hallway outside of the bathroom.\n\nThe hostess and server jumped into action. They immediately got him a chair to sit in right there, while I grabbed him a pain pill and his walker. They then gave him some water, and proceeded to chat with us for the next 15 minutes or so.\n\nTo put this in perspective, we were right smack in the middle of the main walkway to the tables, taking up over half the space. The staff did not see this as inconvenient, however. Their main concern was my dad's well being.\n\nOnce he was up to it, they helped walk him out of the building. It was slow going, and he had to stop and sit about four times along the way. The staff and I basically carried him. They helped him to my car, held the doors, and everything.\n\nDuring the whole ordeal, we took an order for a couple of buckets of wings to go. The hostess insisted that they would handle the charge, and just wanted to see my dad back again, all healed up.\n\nThe whole ordeal was totally selfless on the part of Quaker Steak and their staff. I will not only be going back again, but recommending others.\n\nOh, and the wings were delicious.

Restaurent name is: Zoe's Pizzeria review: Zoe's provided community support to the Waunakee 2017 post Graduation activities. As always, the pizzas and other items were of the highest quality. Can't go wrong with Zoe's. Extremely pricey for what it is. \nDecent pizza.\nHave waited an hour and a half for delivery. We're in waunakee, how is that even possible? Fantastic pizza. Delivery is good and they support online orders. Wish the online system was better, but at least they have it. Don't pass up the Mac and cheese pizza, it's the best we have had. Only constructive criticism about the food is that sausage shouldn't have clean knife cuts. It's somewhat off putting. This is by far the best tasting freshest pizza in waunakee- we order weekly from them and they have consistently made amazing pizza- and I'm from Chicago :) Ordered the works pizza and it was amazing. Great crust, sauce and Italian sausage thin sliced veggies. Garlic knots came out hot and fresh. I will definitely drive out of the way for this place.

Restaurent name is: Dimas Tacos review: This place is fantastic. Super friendly great food a must try In Vegas worth the drive.best tacos and tamale in Vegas. Absolutely love this place! Food is amazing and the cashier is really cool. Also it is super cheep for the amount of food that you get. Very close to home so it's a monthly must have!! \nYes it's like Robertos but it's Dimas!! Always a great meal always friendly service!! If you want a mean breakfast burrito or carnitas plate you can't go wrong here ever!! Enjoy!! I've been meaning to write a review about Dimas Tacos for the last month and I'm happy to do it. As I sit here at Dimas I'm reminded of the first time I entered the clean glass doors of this establishment. I was greeted with a smile and a hello. I didn't feel rushed like most places that employ teenagers who don't have a clue about customer service. Instead, I had the privilege of having one of the owners ( Jennifer ) take my order. Angel, the other owner, manned the grill with the authority of a seasoned chef that he is. \nThe food was prepared quickly and was absolutely delicious. I didn't realize how much I missed my mothers cooking till I savored my meal. From the fresh ingredients to the atmosphere I'm totally sold in this place. Robertos better watch out because I see a Dimas Tacos takeover in the future. \nEnjoy and tell Jennifer Tommy says hello. I had been craving authentic tacos for awhile and decided to give this place a try since my salon is right next door. First, I guess I should have read the reviews first because it is very similar to Robertos which is not what I wanted. I ordered the asada taco, the carnitas taco and a pastor taco and an horchata. The horchata was like drinking water and sugar, very little flavor. The Carne asada and carnitas tacos were ok, but the pastor taco was not that good. I would recommend if you want robertos but if you are looking for authentic tacos...nope not it

Restaurent name is: The Sand Box review: Not bad for a pool bar at a resort. Would be nice to have servers attend the pool area for drinks. Might be something to consider if trying to boost drink sales. Purchased drinks all day and then asked for \nAn ice water and was told "we cant give out water, there is a drinking fountain around the corner." Very disappointing Love this resort and pool, but the bar is a mere shadow of what it once was. Used to have a great drink menu with plenty of options, but now not so much, if any. Friendly service though. The bartenders are rude and unattentive , we ordered and it took over an hour to get our food terrible service Cute little Pool/tiki bar at Tahiti Village. Flanked by a waterfall, serving up cocktails, wine, beer, and typical pool bar grub -- quesadillas, nachos, chicken tenders, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and fish tacos. All pretty reasonably priced -- $6-11.\n\nDrinks are $10 for a 12 oz; best deal is to get a 32-oz in a sports cup for $15. Beer: $4; wine: $6. Didn't like the Mai Tai, but mimosa and sea breeze were good. Also didn't like the kids' strawberry slush (plastic and fake tasting) Kids mojito was better ($6 for each is pretty pricer; $4 would seem more appropriate). \n\nBut, it's great to enjoy a drink or bite to eat poolside on a hot Vegas day!\n\nNOTE: Open to Tahiti Village guests only - you need a room key to get in.

Restaurent name is: Rivas Mexican Grill review: Large portions. Food cooked to order and it is not greasy. I was not disappointed. The reviews you saw from my neighbors are correct. I could not finish my portions and it is restaurant quality. The meat was cooked as you order. Some places have their meat precooked. The super nachos rocked it! Best steak burrito and steak fries. Very fresh and and doesn't leave you feeling greasy and gross afterwards (like Roberto's). It may be a little bit more than your average taco shop but the quality of ingredients is so very apparent! Comparable to Baja Fresh in quality but better and not as expensive. The owner is very sweet and friendly. I love this and am happy that the little BBQ place is gone to be replaced but something so much better. Best Carne Asada! They make the meat fresh to order! My favorite is the Carne Asada fries! We come here quite often. First time here. I had the carne asada fries. The meat had really good flavor but majority of the meat was the fatty chewy pieces. And by that I mean the pierces that you can't even break down because they are so tough. Not trying to sound unreasonable, I know to expect a piece or two to be like that but in my case I had to stop eating, I almost threw up because there was one in almost every bite. I wasted half of my meal. \n\n I might try one more time and cross my fingers not too many fatty chewy pieces!! \nOn a good note I liked the flavor of the meat and the green chil\xc3\xa9 sauce. The place was clean and people were nice. Ohh i love this place. I always get the carne asada nachos. The meat is so much fresher and more tasty than robertos. The prices are not expensive for this type of delicous flavor. Must stop by.

Restaurent name is: Tavern Grille Scottsdale review: Mallory is awesome. We're from L.A. For Spring Training to watch the Dodgers. First time at Tavern and we will be back. Thanks Mallory for our new hang out. We come down every year and we will be back!!! Man I love this place - best food around and you can't beat the atmosphere. The owners are very friendly and personable and go above and beyond to make this place what it is. Perfect to watch the game (soooo many TVs) or to just hang with family or friends. Love this place. Great service, great food, lots of TV's to watch the game, the bar staff is fun and sexy, and...everybody knows your name. Went here by accident because my co-pilot can't use iphone GPS. All I got was beer and wings. It was hapopy hour, Beer was $2.75 (YAY) and wings were $5 (double yay). And maybe I came on an ON day but they were dang good, Service at the bar was top notch. I can't vouch for the other food. We all got wings cuz they were cheap, and we all loved them. TVs everywhere for sports, and OFFTRACK BETTING!!! Big place, again with the GAMES FOR KIDS SO PARENTS CAN GET TANKED! DISCLAIMER:Do not drink and drive with kiddies in car. Call a cab. And do not let them gamble while you are busy eating wings. They can learn that later. Just purchased my ticket for a return visit to Scottsdale. Cant wait to visit Tavern Grille again, \nI love the menu and the daily specials. Can't wait to chow down on one of there burgers when I arrive. The owners and staff are super.

Restaurent name is: Thai On Yonge review: Omg most amazing Thai food I've had in a looong time! Everything we had was delicious. The skewers were juicy and the peanut sauce provided was amazing. We also had the papaya salad with 2 peppers and even then it was very spicy (our mouths were on fire lol). The green curry was soo good, and can't be beat for the price. Same thing goes for the street pad Thai, it was just so tasty. It was so good we returned for a meal the next evening lol. Bonus points for very authentic mango sticky rice! Delicious, cheap, and located downtown. Definitely a 5-star place! First, thrilled they are open late! I arrived in Toronto late and Thai on Yonge was open and happily took my take out order. I picked it up while Toronto Pride was dying down and the atmosphere outside was cheery bordering on overly intoxicated :)) I ordered basic: pad Thai and green curry with chicken: spicy. It hit the spot. The portions were great! I was able to get 3-4 meals out of it. Needed something fast, cheap and close by. We ordered the street pad thai (which I found very bland) and the green chicken curry lunch special (tasted fine, but pricey for what you got) . \n\nWill likely try a different place the next time are in the area and crave Thai food. Given the excellent reviews from other Yelpers, we decided to go to Thai On Yonge for dinner last weekend to see what the fuss was about.\n\nWe walked in to find a number of patrons at the bar who had obviously been drinking for quite a while. As we sat at our table, a few of these patrons paced back and forwards between the bar and the window overlooking Yonge Street for some reason, which made for a very awkward dining experience.\n\nMy friend and I both ordered Khao Soi and we shared the spring rolls. The rolls were pretty good, but the Khao Soi lacked flavour and the sauce was not hot enough. Definitely not the quality and freshness I expected from a $30 meal for two.\n\nThe service was fast and the waitress was very friendly, Overall three stars, not helped by the "interesting" clientele. The food was ok but the service was slow and rude.\n\nI never understand when management is rude to the customers. After paying and waiting a half hour for my food, it finally three orders came out. \nAsked for the person to pass me my order, no need to have to wait for customers that came in after me to pay. She wouldn\'t give me my order.\n\nThe rude woman was the manager. Instead of saying sure and passing me the order, she decided that she was going to look after the male customers that came in after me. She wanted to teach me a lesson. However the lesson is you might have won the battle, and thought you looked a big shot. \n\nSarcastically said "have a nice evening".\n\nThe manager created a very bad vibe in the restaurant, lost a loyal customer. She was in the back and didn\'t even know what was going on at the front of the house.

Restaurent name is: Moe's Southwest Grill review: My first time ever at a Moe's. It really was nothing special, it's like the Subway of burrito places. \nI got The Homewrecker with Chicken, it was okay, but so heavy on my stomach. We also got some chips and queso to try, I hear people love their queso. Well the chips were crisp but tasted of old oil ( this place just opened) and I didn't like the queso, it tasted like the Tostitos dip you buy in the supermarket.\nThe staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant was clean. Luckily we got our food free from a facebook promotion. If I do go back, I'll probably try a salad. But as of now, I have no plans on returning, it's just not my cup of tea. Great foods. Great prices. I liked the greeting I received as soon as I walked in. The Burrito I had was very good as were the toppings they offered on the side. I will definitely be going back! This location is so bad I had to take to Twitter last week to complain to corporate -- something I never do. I\'ve been here so many times (just look at my number of Yelp check ins here) but my visit last week was the last straw. \n\nI love Moe\'s so much but this location is terrible. It\'s slowly gone further and further downhill to the point where I can no longer eat here. It\'s a shame because since this location opened I have been a regular, weekly (sometimes twice weekly) customer. But after my last visit on February 24, I walked out for the third time in as many visits. Moe\'s is 3 for 3 with strikeouts! \n\nMy most recent visit was at 12 noon on a weekday, a prime lunch time for all of the nearby office workers. As usual, I walked in the door and the place was completely empty. No customers, no employees. Sadly this is a common sight at this location no matter the time of day. Nobody there to give me that friendly "welcome to Moe\'s" greeting. After waiting a couple of minutes, an employee came out of the back, eating. Obviously she was having lunch or a snack and there was nobody manning the front of the house. \n\nRelated to the employee issue is the manager here -- she is almost always sitting in the back booth with a stack of papers, in plain view of everyone in the dining room. Often times she will be eating takeout food from a nearby quick service competitor like Panda Express or Subway. I\'m not trying to get her in trouble because she is really nice and kind but seeing empty Chinese food bags on the table in a Mexican restaurant is just weird and isn\'t a good message to send to what few customers this location has.\n\nThis location has no customers so they never have hot food ready -- but they never have hot food ready so they don\'t have customers. It\'s an endless cycle that Moe\'s is trapped in, and that\'s what prompted me to walk out several times. \n\nI ordered my usual burrito bowl so the employee scooped rice, beans and steak. I asked for peppers and onions (which are listed on the menu as ingredients in the bowl) and she said sorry, they didn\'t have any. I asked for mushrooms instead. Nope, no mushrooms. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GO TO THIS LOCATION and it\'s so upsetting. She didn\'t even offer to cook the ingredients for me, she just said they were out. Even when they do "cook to order," I have to sit there for 10 minutes watching the other ingredients in my bowl sit on the counter and get cold. Forget having a quick lunch here, it\'s at least a 30 minute production just to get your food. I\'ve had to wait for rice, meat and vegetables on nearly every single visit I have ever made.\n\nThe salsa bar is always missing something too. There are never any fresh limes or lemons and there will be a salsa or two simply missing. Not empty, just never there in the first place. No Splenda for the iced tea either, but I don\'t know if that\'s a franchise requirement to provide it (but worth mentioning since they used to provide it). \n\nTheir Moe\'s rewards system worked for a couple of months and then they just took it out. You\'d enter your phone number on a keypad to record every visit and you could earn rewards like a free meal. I\'ve missed over 30 rewards visits on top of it all. I get the feeling that the franchisee at this location is lazy which is sad because they are running their business into the ground. \n\nI absolutely adore Moe\'s and I would love to go back to being a regular customer but I\'ve just had enough. I\'m not a complainer or whiner but I just wrote corporate and begged them to send help to this location.I hope it\'s not too late to turn things around here. My friends, family and coworkers all have similar experiences (I mean, look at these Yelp reviews that all mention the same problems) and nobody ever wants to eat at Moe\'s anymore because of these serious problems. This location has a terrible reputation in the community and I\'ve never heard anything but complaints about it. I feel so awful for people trying Moe\'s for the first time at this location. When they do, I can almost guarantee they will never go back. \n\nThe sad thing about all of this is that the food is actually really tasty! If it was possible to give this location zero stars, I absolutely would. I chose to dine here twice within the past month, and I sincerely regret going there both times (the second time due to the food poisoning). \n\nThe first visit the store was completely empty (no customers and only a single employee barely visible in the back room); what was left of the food had been covered up and had clearly been sitting for some time even though they were supposed to be open for a few more hours. The food tasted borderline acceptable, but was room temperature and ended up making me and my coworkers feel less than great for the rest of the night (we chalked it up to the quantity as opposed to the quality; a mistake on our part). \n\nThe second time I ate there... the horror! It was the WORST case of food poisoning I have ever had in my life. For 48 full hours, Moe's Southwest had its way with my intestines after laying claim to and evicting the entire contents of my stomach several hours after eating it. The second visit was made in the middle of the day in the middle of the week for lunch, and the location was still completely empty with all the food covered up and sitting and no visible employees upon entrance, much like the original visit some weeks earlier.\n\nAVOID AT ALL COSTS. Wow they've gone downhill the short amount of time they've been open. The staff are sassy and borderline rude and the last time I was here they didn't have bacon and the manager said it would be 8 hour wait for it. The fcuk. Now this time they're out of their corn salsa for the night. The girl handled my food twice without washing her hands. I had to ask her to!!!! The manager is just sitting in a booth not even helping doing what looks like schoolwork. Seriously so done and I'm writing to corporate because I know this isn't how Moe's should be. They just lost a customer.

Restaurent name is: Mong Sushi & Grill review: Service is great and the owners are really nice, also the cooked food is pretty good. But, the sashimi tastes frozen and the colour looks "off". It kind of looks like the fish you\'d see at a sushi buffet. My workplace is right next to Mong Sushi. I finally decided to give them a try after eating at other sushi places around the area (Maki Sushi, and one on Bayview). Ordered a Spicy Crab Pizza and it was pretty tasty and filling! Very quick and friendly service.\n\nLook it wasn't really spicy nor did it have real crab (obviously). My other friend ordered a lunch special. Do you get a lot for the price you pay? Comparing it to Maki Sushi, not that much. Sometimes, it's about quality and not quantity. I'll try a lunch special next time! Mong Sushi & Grill used to be ND Sushi & Grill http://www.yelp.ca/biz/nd-sushi-and-grill-toronto. Decoration has not change much. seems like the new owner just moved in and just changed then name and the menu and you have a new restaurant.\n\nMenu for sure is different from the previous owners as the choices are more down to earth with nothing too fancy....\n\nLunch specials has the usual Bento box of Teriyaki and sushi...\n\nSushi Lunch $12.95 has 8 piece of nigiri and 3 pc of rolls with salad, soup and some Korean banchans. Fish is quite fresh and balanced well with the Shari rice. Sushi are bite size... and the fish is cut quite thin...but how I like how indivdual garnishes: green onion, caviar, wasabi mayo added to some of the nigiri to make the fish more interesting!\n\nMong Sushi is an A-OK choice for your sushi fix.. if you are in the neighbourhood... but definitely not worth coming here just for the sushi! This place is excellent. The only mystery is why people are not lined up to get into it. The food is always fresh and service is great. Certainly one of the best sushi places in Leaside Just had a lovely lunch here for the first time.\n\nIt's nothing out of the ordinary to look at, and the menu seems quite standard, but the food is delicious!\n\nThe salmon maki were very good, but the yakitori were the very best I've ever had -- served sizzling hot and delicious. The staff were very helpful and friendly -- I will definitely be back!

Restaurent name is: Sushi Lounge & steakhouse review: This place was wonderful! Do not let the appearance fool you, the food is great! Once we pulled up our first words were "wow this place is sketchy". But because of so many positive review we decided to give it a chance. Man was it worth it! At first it seemed to be closed with an open sign blinking on, so we called and they said "we will open for you" after that they were wonderfully pleasant host. We had the Alaska roll and hey sexy roll along with the hibachi chicken all of which were delicious. I really cannot say enough great things about this place. I am a California native and as such have been to several sushi places and places close to the ocean. This place has the best sushi I have ever had, bar none. With no ocean anywhere in sight I cannot understand how they get such amazingly fresh fish. I have been to Yummy Sushi in Henderson, which is highly rated, the fish their was well...fishy. Here at Sushi Lounge I did not have one piece of bad fish.\nI had the heart attack, a fried roll with spicy tuna, hot pepper, and cream cheese. I had the spicy garlic, with spicy tuna and garlic sauce, and I had the "Mexican" with crab, shrimp, and tuna. All were amazingly good and to watch the chef prepare the meal was fun. I also had fried rice, it was only $0.99 and it was easily the best fried rice I have ever had. Fried rice is one of my all time favorite dishes, I eat this out probably 7 or 8 times a month and this really was the best I have had, there is not even a close second. We ended out meal with sliced pineapple that had a creamy sweet sauce on it.\nThis place is really the tops for Sushi both locally and perhaps that I have ever had and that is saying something from someone who frequents the beach as much as I do in California Great having sushi in boulder. When i walked in all said hi. To really make the place pop the lights inside to bright maybe a little music t.v. So I ordered calamari to go and a sushi roll. Sushi roll good but I only got 4 small strips of calamari, though it was good just to small of amount. For sure will be back again so cool to have sushi in boulder but lights for sure to bright. I hope they do well in boulder and waitress was way nice. Like any good former Seattleite, I'm a bit wary of hole-in-the-wall sushi places (especially in the middle of the desert), but what is a girl to do when she's on the road, in the middle of no and where, and has a jonesing for some albacore? \n\nSuck it up, sis, and give the yokels a shot. \n\nGlad I tossed the dice (viva home city!) Truly impressed. Service was prompt and courteous and the food was GREAT!\n\nThey do have an all-you-can-eat offering for around $22, which is fair for most, but I typically can't do that much damage. Instead, I had the angel roll and the candy cane roll, and both were phenomenal. Even the presentation was very nice, as you can see from my pictures. While he prepared my rolls, I had hot tea, miso (not too salty), and a complimentary salad.\n\nI've almost got Danny the chef talked into using brown rice. We'll make the drive for our sushi, if he does. Turns out that Yee, the kid who waited on me, is from my neck of the woods - Tacoma, WA. When the lunch crowd dwindled, we had a lovely talk. I would have eaten more, but I was absolutely stuffed.\n\nGood job, little town of Boulder, hang on to these two. A hidden gem! It may look like an old, abandoned Sonic, but the food is great. The Salmon Sashimi is one of my favorites. It had a unique, zesty sauce. The Sweetie Roll is also great for those that like baked rolls filled with cream cheese, like Japanese lasagna.

Restaurent name is: Roc's Grill review: It was definitely a surprise to find a Filipino restaurant so far south but this place is definitely worth the trip! The menu is a very edited selection of Filipino dishes with some fusion style dishes. We started with the kare kare chicken wings. The wings were very large and the sauce was fantastic! We actually kept the sauce for our rice later on! I shared the crispy pata and garlic rice which has a lot of crispy pork skin but not as much meat. The rest of my party also had the chicken inasal with atsara and the house pancit which they seemed to enjoy. We tried an assortment of desserts: the leche flan and the yema cake were my favourite!\n\nService was fairly prompt given that the restaurant was full. The price for the meal and desserts for 5 was under 150$ including tip which is awesome! There is lots of parking out front and the bathrooms are very clean. Would definitely visit again! First impressions are good and I am going back. \n\nRoc\'s Grill is a clean, nice and inviting "hole in the wall" in Woodbine. I have no knowledge whatsoever as to this type of food but dove in. \n\nI ordered the "Sizzling Caldereta". It is a sizzling beef stew platter that is slightly spicy. The server recommended garlic rice, which was terrific. Simply put, it surpassed all expectations. The dish was delicious, and even better with a cold beer from their menu. \n\nThe problem I will have is exploring the menu now that I know they have a dish that is so amazing. \n\nI will add to this as a I go, but in the meantime give it a try. Roc's Grill is our fave place to go to for crispy pata, bulalo, mang inasal and of course the chicken skin. We would always request more of our fave dipping sauce (lime and chili). They would always provide large servings as well, hence we have to take home some of them then we'd have an awesome breakfast for the next day. Definitely a great place to keep coming back to! Had dinner here with my family recently. The food was excellent all around. The sharing plates are the perfect size for a group of 3 to eat as an appetizer. Even the deserts were good! The table was very clean and the wait times were reasonable for such fresh cooked food. This is my second time dining here. I must say, when I first visited this restaurant I felt so much much welcomed by the staff. The place has a "cottage like" feel to it (which I LOVE). \n\nFood brings back childhood memories and still has the consistency of Filipino cuisine! A must try!\n\nI would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone!

Restaurent name is: Red Line Club review: Brunch buffet food tasted good and was hot, ($16 per person)! However, the only service that is provided by the wait staff is refilling of soft drinks or water, I'm not sure that that warrants an additional 20% automatically added on to your bill for gratuity. The Red Line club is cool because the hockey players walk through on their way to the ice, but it's not any more uniquely appointed than any other cafeteria-style restaurant. There were only two of us in our party, again, I was surprised by the mandatory charge. Good food and a easy friendly service. Plus how many places can you say have real live hockey players walking through the restaurant while you dine. It was nice to be able to have a sit down dinner before the hockey game. Food was good (Pimento cheese burger and fries were definitely a standout). Service was slow. Atmosphere was interesting - the space and tables were nice, the folding chairs and plastic silverware seemed out of place.\n\nOverall - we'd go back. It took the stress and hassle out of making a stop for dinner before a game. I hate to leave 1-Star rating because I know most businesses live and die by their reviews. But we truly had an awful experience. We went during the Checkers first round playoff game. We had a reservation, sat for 20 minutes and were never greeted. It was crazy chaotic. As I looked around (trying to make eye contact with a waiter!), I saw a lot of mediocre looking "bar food" being served on paper plates. We had a much better experience at the vendors on the main concourse. On a positive note, the players enter and exit the rink through this restaurant. I would recommend grabbing a bite to eat before or after the hockey game, or supporting the vendors in the main concourse. We stopped in to grab some food before the game last night and this was a great choice. I ordered the garbage plate and it was more than I could handle! Huge portion of fries topped with two burger patties, mac & cheese, chili & onions, and maybe more, I'm not sure. I'd get it again but I'd make sure this was my only meal of the day. One of my friends I was with ordered a philly cheese steak and he liked it. Another ordered the chicken strips. They weren't bad, but they were just Bojangles and were overpriced at $12 since you can basically get the same thing for $5 at the concession stands.

Restaurent name is: Del Taco review: Until we drove by it Saturday afternoon I'd never even heard of DelTaco (stupid name by the way... lame). I, like I'm sure a lot of people did, assumed it was just another Taco Bell rip off. Oh boy, was I wrong! And was I glad I was wrong!\n\nDelTaco kicks so much behind! I ordered the fish tacos and Becky ordered the Tacos al Carbon. Out of the entire taco order the only gripe I have is that the corn tortillas tasted and felt like the bagged kind you buy at the supermarket. They were dry and flaking apart with every bite. Aside from that though, our tacos were DELICIOUS! Nothing like the crap I've had at Taco Bell, Taco Time or any other similar place. The Tacos al Carbon came with a wedge of lime and in all honesty did remind me of the tacos we eat in Mexico out of a street cart. Good job DelTaco!! (please change your stupid name)\n\nI was very taken aback that every combo came with, of all things, french fries. WTF?! They could at least have been good. But no, the french fries were pretty bland, soggy and bad... skip them altogether (and while you're at it, suggest that they change their lame name).\n\nDefinitely will go back every time I am in the Rock Hill/Cherry Rd. area. Well worth trying more of their stuff given how good their tacos were (despite the such a crappy name such as DelTaco).\n\nThe only thing left to wonder is when the heck is Charlotte gonna get a DelTaco?!?!?!?! (Preferably with a new name, like DelBurrito or DelQuesadilla or something like that)\n\nP.S. did I mention I think they have the stupidest, lamest name ever? I was staying in Rock Hill recently and I actually left my motel a little later due to icy roads in the early AM. After it warmed up a bit, I took a short drive down the road to find someplace for breakfast. \n\nI quickly spotted Del Taco on the corner and I thought I was seeing things. Del Taco is one of my favorite fast food restaurants, which I prefer over Taco Bell. I especially enjoy Del Taco when I'm cruisin' around So Cal. I pulled into the parking lot which was empty, but Del Taco was definitely open! \n\nI'M HAVING BREAKFAST AT DEL TACO IN SC-W00t! W00t!\n\nThis Del Taco location was very clean with a bright dining room, self serve drink station and self serve sauces. I took my time looking over the lighted menu boards which had plenty of Del Taco Meals (with fries and drink) to choose from and other great deals to choose from. Most combo meals are priced $4.99-$6.49, but there were also $4 Meals offered too as well as several 99 cent items. The breakfast menu is also served all day here, a similar policy at Jack In The Box and Sonic.\n\nI decided to order my favorite combo, which was the #13: 2 Crispy Fish Tacos with Fries and Medium Diet Coke ($6.49) and Churros ($0.99). I decided to eat in so I could take advantage of the Free WiFi access and enjoy my meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The fish tacos were very good and tasty, as expected and the salted crinkle cut fries were hot and crispy, dipping the fries in a mix of Del Inferno Hot Sauce & Ketchup, yum! The churros were covered in cinnamon sugar, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. \n\nThe food was solid good (I love fish tacos for breakfast!) with free refills on the Diet Coke and the staff was friendly. The manager actually thanked me for stopping in as I was heading out. I was kind of sad leaving the area since there were no more Del Taco restaurants along the rest of my road trip. This was joyous! I'm a nutty Californian and on my way from my home in DC to Myrtle Beach I decided to detour 150 miles because good ol' Rock Hill randomly has a Del Taco. Totally worth it.\n\nWas this the best Del Taco I've experience, food-wise? Well, no. I tend to get the same thing, and it wasn't quite top notch. Still, the interior was probably the nicest I've seen at any Del Taco, and the staff was very friendly. They were even friendlier when I told them that my California love compelled me to drive all the way to freaking Charlotte just so I could eat at the Del.\n\nIt was pretty endearing to see people coming into the joint that had never heard of Del Taco. I saw the manager fielding questions from a number of patrons. Citizens of Rock Hill and Great Charlotte! (Heck, it's also only an hour north of Columbia). Listen to me! Del Taco is wonderful! Never go to Taco Bell again! With your help the Del can slowly make its way through North Carolina and eventually to Metro DC, and I can enjoy it and feel like my life is worth living again. Do it for me! I feel the need to write an update to "up" my rating of Del Taco. I would have never thought it would happen...but I\'m a fan...Yay!\n\nI really like their fish tacos here. Most places mess up simple street tacos and fish tacos...not here. I just wish the fish tacos were as cheap as the regular tacos.\n\nI\'m glad I\'ve continued to give Del Taco a try...and you should too. Del Taco is open in the location that used to be Dunkin' Donuts at the corner of Cherry Rd. and Anderson Rd. in Rock Hill. The parking lot is accessible from the North lane of Cherry Rd., or from the Aldi parking lot. The menu is similar to Taco Bell with the addition of burgers and fries. Crinkle cut fries are included with the combo's instead of nacho's...etc. The food has been delicious every time I've been there and the prices are average. The plain taco special they have @ $.49 per taco is a great way to feed a crowd on a budget. The only thing that stops me from visiting this location more frequently is the service. I have gotten super slow service in the drive thru and also inside to dine in. The service sucks, but the food was good...They are relatively new so I won't give up on them yet. Hopefully the service will work itself out as they get used to the business flow.

Restaurent name is: Chipotle Mexican Grill review: Outstanding! Morgan the manager went above and beyond the make my visit great.\n\nI will absolutely keep coming to this location because of Morgan's service. Clean, fast and delicious. I've been hooked on the chicken burrito with pinto beans and both pico and hot sauce. The bacon flavor in the pinto beans makes it complete. The food is what you expect at Chipotle, however, if you go around 5pm -7pm you may wait in line for up to 45 minutes. I started using the mobile order because I want to eat when I'm hungry, not an hour later! This chipotle is the best restaurant in town!! Love the way they make sure you at satisfied. I have been to a couple chipotles.. And this one is close to home. The best part is this one is very clean, and also has one of the best atmosphere. They make you feel very welcomed and very happy. My family and I enjoy going to chipotle. Never had a bad experience. Their prices are worth the experience you get. Employees always seem happy and welcoming. My autistic son had an accident and spilled his drink. As a mother I felt bad for him and for the employee that came rushing and apologized and cleaned the mess. They offered us another drink and reassured my son it was an accident and it was ok. I felt grateful and thanked them for not making my son feel bad. They where so friendly and I will be a forever customer. Thank you chipotle!! Customer service is great. Girls who work the register are so awesome and genuinely kind. Love this location. Food is always great.

Restaurent name is: Lily's Pizza & Pasta review: Very friendly service and great tasting pizza. The gluten free crust is great but is best fresh and eaten the day of order. This is a superb family run business.\nThe pizza & pasta are all home made to order.\nThe price is extremely reasonable.\nThe service is fast & friendly \nTheir pizza puts the big guys to shame Not happy after ordering food numerous times and asking for extra extra sauce they will give you the size of a pill box. I had to use my own sauce from home to my food. Oh well time to explore other place. Gone! All is good I Tried it for the first time ordered a Calzone and Pasta all tasty however next time I will ask for extra sauce for both however I will order from them again Way more than what it looks like. Great pizza. Fresh toppings. Great crust. Order the meatballs every time! They are a meal unto themselves!! Love finding these little nooks. Keep up the good work Lily's!

Restaurent name is: Long Time No See review: Came here during grand opening. Free massive lamb skewer. The spices were a great mix. However, I prefer their original regular size lamb skewer much more. For some strange reason, the massive lamb skewer was hard to chew.\n\nWe ordered the seafood platter and spicy mixed bowl. Also some BBQ dishes. \n\nThis place used to be called under a different English name, but with the same owner. I just like the previous branding better, and feel the food quality is better before. Hopefully the store will get more attention with the new branding! When the female server threw the machine in front of us and left, we decided that we would NEVER EVER come back here again. What a wonderful service you guys have. This place was alright. Very authentic mainland Chinese, but maybe too Spicy for my family who went with me :p\n\nWe ordered lamb bbq skewers-very good, bbq beef skewers-good, grilled pork belly skewers- meh\n\nWe ordered egg fried rice, I thought the portion was very small was 10.99$ portion. It tasted good though.\n\nGrilled eggplant was very good. Grilled clams was also very good. Grilled squid was a bit tough and dry. \n\nSeafood noodle was not what we expected, clear thick bean noodle in a sauce dip, would not reorder. \n\nHot and sour soup was large portion but I found it needed more thickener, too thin for my liking.\n\nFish in chili oil was good but HUGE, we had already ordered too much :p I love the taste of the prickly ash in the broth.\n\nThe chive and egg dumpling was good. But obviously as a side dish, not an entree.\n\nI would MAY be back again but I am more cautious to mass order on the menu. Prices were reasonable for some dishes and too expensive for the staple items in my opinion.\n\nThey take cash or wechat pay ha. The crowd was younger, I think my parents were the oldest ones there. Going out to eat with the boys requires a lot of beer and meat lol. Long Time No See is the perfect spot for us to catch up and hang out for some iced cold beer and delicious Chinese-style barbecued skewers! Plus, I haven't seen this one friend for over 2+ years - the name of the restaurant is certainly fitting!\n\nThe restaurant is beautifully decorated with a wooden theme. It is spacious and doesn't feel stuffy or smoky inside (unlike other skewers restaurants). Service is great, and they are very on top of things. I love how the restaurant keeps the skewers hot by putting them on a stone platform heated with tea light candles at the table.\n\nMenu items that I thoroughly enjoy:\n- Lamb skewers (YASSSS!)\n- Pork belly skewers\n- Chicken gizzards (sounds weird but this is one of my fave)\n- Enoki mushroomsss!\n- Fried pork in sweet and sour sauce (must eat while hot and fresh)\n- Caramelized ice cream puffs\n\nAs for the beer tower, it is a pretty good deal. They offer the Yellow Tower (light beer) and the Black Tower (dark beer). My friend said light beer goes well with skewers, so we ordered the Yellow Tower. I'm not sure what beer they use, but it was way too light for my liking. We finished up the tower quick times, and ordered cans of Sapporo for the rest of the night lol.\n\nPro tips: Stick with the cans, and the lamb skewers ;) Huge selections of skewers and grilled seafood, vegetables and meat. Their grilled oysters is a knock-out garlic herb. Very good with beer and worth the money.

Restaurent name is: Mustang Sally's Diner review: 1950's-style diner in a Ford dealership. Cute idea! \nRestaurant was clean, service was friendly and fast. No frills diner food that was very good! Whether you're buying a vehicle or not (we were not), I recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch. Open until 3pm. Ever since they raised their prices, on some items by $3 or more, I have stopped going to this place for breakfast since it's near by when I got to or am at work. I guess this is inflation to pay for the new remodel? Horrible pricing, will be looking for a new place to get breakfast. For my family, this is our "go to" diner restaurant when we are shopping down in the Henderson Galleria area. Especially with the Groupon, the value can\'t be beat. The 50\'s style atmosphere, the delicious, good ole American diner food, and great service makes the place a winning combination. And, who would have thought it would be located at a Ford car dealership? (For my little boy who is a Disney Cars fan, he especially loves coming here :)) Check it out, my wife and I highly recommend it! Server was very curious and the food is reasonably priced. I had the spicy chicken wrap with onion rings. It was excellent experience. Our food was great tasting and freshly made. Our waitress was amazing and always very attentive. Hopefully, we will get a chance to eat here again before we move. ^_^

Restaurent name is: Sonic Drive-In review: The kid here aaron G ispot on awesome service..i realy appreciate it in a world that doesnt honor the customer as much...bright spot of my day...thankyou Never been to sonic before so we tried it a few weeks ago and of course the drive thru messed up the order so we called and they said sorry and offered to replace the order on the next visit. Fast forward to today. Went in and got the order replaced and a few other things. They messed it up again and the other items werw just not good quality. Last time I'll give this place a try. Another trip, another wrong order. How can someone repeat my order back to me Again on another trip and get it totally wrong. Ohhhh and I just paid almost 9$ and you forgot my fries as well. I love Sonic, but this is my least favorite location in the valley. I don't know if they're always understaffed, but I always wait forever, no matter what time of day it is, and my order is messed up at least every other time. Super frustrating when you're pregnant and craving something specific & don't wanna wait for a long time AGAIN to get it fixed. Oh Sonic, how I love thee. How sad I am that you haven't made it to NY yet. But I get my fix of you whenever I am in Vegas.\n\nSeriously. I usually stop here as soon as I get into town. Like, I'm on my way from the airport. C'mon you would too if you only at it like once or twice a year.\n\nSonic Burger + Onion Rings (or Tots, I mean, cmon ... TOTS!) + Cherry Limeade = Very Happy Dave. \n\nI've never had a problem with service there, although I'm usually there mid-afternoon, or late night at the drive through.

Restaurent name is: Crust review: Found this place by accident, I was driving around Cleveland and needed to pull off the main road to look something up and we pulled in here and decided this would be a good place for lunch. I'm glad we went here as the pizza was great. They had 4-6 out and I got a slice from a couple of them and my wife got a couple slices too. The toppings were great, the crust was great, it was a good place to take a break for lunch. Holy crap! I went back today for lunch and got the philly cheesesteak. It is literally the best sandwich I think I have ever had the pleasure of eating. This sandwich is punch a puppy in the face to get to the plate quicker good. I lack the words, but oh my... The bread, the wonderfully tender meat, rosemary! Oy vey. Who cares if the salads lack veggies. Fuck veggies. Eat this sandwich! This may be the best thing in CLE right now Not the same as Tremont... not at all. Food was doughy and under-cooked. Staff members kept touching my food with their bare hands - even at the table. Really freaked me out.\n\nThey gave me some better pieces to go, but again, kept touching the pizza for no good reason... rearranging pieces in the box. ahhhhh I don\'t really know. I have never been to crust tremont, I know it is beloved on yelp. I stopped in at this location at about 11:30am this week.... I got a slice of pepperoni.... I would recommend stopping in and giving it a try, so I did give it 4 stars. Cause the pizza is insane! The slice was bigger than my face. So that was funny. It came in its own normal sized pizza box. They had these huge pizzas ready. So it was amusing and unique in that way.\n\nI went up to the counter and ordered my pizza slice... They had their two specialty pizzas of the day ready. Also I think they have like cheese pizza ready and you can add some toppings and they are like re-baked on maybe??... but I\'m not really a fangirl of toppings being re-baked on as an after thought. It makes the pepperoni look like it... doesn\'t belong there. IDK. Like the "pepperoni" is an alien posing as pepperoni and waiting on the cheese. Like \'nuthin\' wrong here!\' - \'then why do you look like you don\'t belong??\' But it does facilitate a quick slice which is a benefit. (Not saying anything was abnormal. Good quality and clean pizza and ingredients- just a prejudice of mine.)\n\nSlice didn\'t take too long to bake. At first bite, pizza was average. A little later I went back to try again, and noticed the flavor profiles of the delicious sauce and the nuances of flavor in the well-textured crust. So then I was enjoying it much more. So I am sorta conflicted. Would like to go back and get a regular pizza baked fresh and see what happens.\n\nPlace is clean. Employees were polite. Quite a bit of parking. Good value. Slice was $5.50 but huge and filling. Crust - give it a try! So I'm at work today and can't leave because...well I'm the only one who doesn't have vacation time. I just received 3 flyers in the mail from CRUST, they are right down the road from my office ...sweet!!!! I look over the menu and love almost everything on it. Decide to order a few things for delivery (they have a $20 minimum). I call and ask to order they proceed to tell me because they are slammed the delivery terms have changed to a $30 minimum. Really. Very very disappointed.

Restaurent name is: Grant Street Tavern review: If you enjoy more franchise based diner like eateries you probably really enjoy Eat N Park or Dennys. This is more than fine, in fact this is the only downtown equivalent to such a place. Unfortunately Nicky's is a little pricier than you typical diner. More importantly in the few times I have been, the service has been slower than a drop of molasses falling down a Vermont Birchwood in the middle of winter. (I have no idea what that means)\n\nAll in all if you find yourself downtown in a withdrawal like state for basic diner food and you fear you may die unless given your typical diner dose then I guess Nicky's is right up your alley. Nicky\'s is your classic diner. I was in the court house area today (no worries, wasn\'t in court) and walked into the Grant Building with the intent on giving the Grant Street Tavern a try for lunch when I noticed this place. It looked pretty popular so I decided to give it a try instead. \n\nMy waitress, Marlene, greeted me almost immediately by asking me what I\'d like to have. I appreciate the attention much more than waiting so I replied as politely as I could "Can I start with a menu please?" After looking over the menu I decided a burger was probably the safest thing to order when in a deli. Despite the place being relatively busy, the waitress took my order within a minute of my setting down the menu and five minutes later, I had a Mushroom Provolone Burger in front of me. \n\nI wasn\'t really expecting much and was pretty impressed with what I got for $6.69 (tax included). The bun and the tomato was fresh, the mushrooms were plentiful and a nice melted slice of provolone covered a burger that you could tell was hand pressed (not a frozen patty). It was cooked all the way through while still maintaining a juicy bite. \n\nI give it a four star for quick service, good value for your dollar and a burger that exceeded my expectations. A former coworker wanted to meet up for lunch and he decided on here. Ive worked downtown for 4 years and I've never even heard of this spot. It was exciting to finally hit up a new place for lunch! \n\nThis diner reminded me of Tic Toc cafe in Macys (only better food and better service). There are booths, tables and even a counter to dine at. They also offer takeout. Its your basic soup, sandwiches, salads & wraps.They had a pretty decent menu and even offered some daily specials. Our server was very kind and took good care of us.\n\nMy dining partner went with the special which was a turkey club on croisant/ It came with a side of chips and a side of fruit. I went with a turkey club wrap and added and order of fries. Everything in my wrap tasted fresh and i also enjoyed the steak-cut fries. The wrap was grilled and I enjoyed it.\n\nSadly i will no longer be working downtown after Friday. I'm upset that I just found out about this place. If you're like me and looking for a new place to grab something, stop here. Its nothing fancy but hey its a diner downtown. It's better than eating at Chipotle 4x a week. lol Best bar Downtown! Bar none. Real. Genuine {sorry for redundancy}. Best bartendress's and best inner city bar. Don't bar me from this wonderful bar. I love, love, love Grant St Tavern! It's my favorite downtown bar. Women-owned and operated, the owner and staff here are amazing - my friends and I come here for drinks after work, and have thrown multiple fundraisers and parties here. Prices and pours are good, and there's free popcorn and snacks in the evening (cannot order food after lunch). \n\nThe space is a bit small for large groups to show up unannounced, but Cheryl will work with you in advance to reserve space and prep food needed for your party. \n\nCheck it out!

Restaurent name is: Provisions 1268 review: Food was good but I guess I had too high expectations due to all the 5 stars reviews. Probably because the menu is constantly changing, it really depends whether you are lucky or not to go on a day with a good menu. The day I went, I found the dishes good, but nothing WOW. The portions are very small, I was feeling just alright after 8 courses, but my husband was still hungry after. Service was very good though. Will I go back? Probably not in the short term since Montreal has so many other good restaurants to try. The second stop on our annual Montreal food tour, Provisions produced mixed results. While there is clear talent here, the daily menu change might be too ambitious. Well cooked and incredibly fresh dishes often needed more thought and editing in order to become complete. I'm also glad we didn't pay for the complimentary biscuits, as they were cold in the center and - I'm sorry to say - reminded me of canned pilsbury biscuits.\n\nOur cocktails had only a trace of liquor and also needed some fine tuning, and the house beer tasted like Budweiser, however another local beer suggested was excellent. And while the atmosphere was nice, some more attention to the music would be welcome - there's only so much Michael Jackson I can stand while eating.\n\nOn a more positive note, the staff was knowledgeable, friendly, professional and - as I said - clearly with talent. Additionally, the dessert was excellent, and I'm saying this as someone who normally doesn't like dessert and wishes it was not on a tasting menu in place of a good cheese course.\n\nSimply changing to a menu that changes weekly or monthly rather than daily might be enough to fix these issues and allow Provisions to compete with other gourmet restaurants in the food Mecca that Montreal has become. I hope they do well! Creative menu and concept not executed as well as I'd hoped. Staff seemed overworked and exhausted when I was hoping for passion, creativity, and energy to match the food. Drinks took a bit of time. I hope they gain more staff and support to get this right. Enjoyed the meal but wasn't as memorable as we had hoped. Absolutely amazing!! Everything we ate was fresh, beautiful and delicious. Easily one of the best meals I have ever had! It's been over a year that i have been here but the sour note it left me with is still lingering.\nI brought my husband there for his birthday after reading all the great reviews.we were seated at the bar and were introduced to our waitress of the night.thats when everything went downhill.the waitress was tina an,the front of house/co-owner.having dined at high end and casual restaurants in montreal over the years i have never witnessed such a pretentious service.it began with snickering while correcting my wine choice pronunciation.she then presented the menu and said we needed to choose from the ingredient list on the blackboard hung on the wall.we told her we were unable to read clearly from our seats and asked if she could go over the list with us.she bluntly refused and told us to walk over to the board and read it ourselves.we should've left right there but we decided to go ahead and order the 75$ 7 course tasting menu with chef's choice of ingredients and hope that the food would make up for the bad start.when making the reservations i had specified for 1 meat-free option (with seafood ok).our unfriendly waitress said it would not be a problem.We were served similar plates,my husband would be served a meat protein with a side of vegetables and my plate would have only the side of vegetables.After receiving 4 plates like this i inquired with the waitress of this issue and instead of addressing our concerns she sent over the busboy who then had the chef make the changes.the waitress never once made a wine pairing suggestion,described our plates,asked us if we enjoyed the food or even made eye contact.she continued to ignore us and payed special attention to other customers instead.she made us feel like we were a nuisance to her and not worth her time.we even wondered if it was because we were asian (like her) and she favored caucasian customers instead.at the end of the night the sweet busboy asked us if we enjoyed our experience,we mentionner sadly if it wasn't for the bad service from our waitress it would have been a good night.he then sent over chef pablo who was apologetic and served us complimentary shots.if only it wasn't too late.300$ bill for a pretentious and horrible service.so please if you decide to go to provisions,ask not to be served by tina an or she may ruin your night.

Restaurent name is: Margarita Fiesta Room review: I have been here twice, once on a date and once with friends. Before this, I always disliked mexican food because of a bad experience at a mexican place in Montreal, but I thought I would give this a try. It turns out that this place was really good, and I have loved mexican ever since.\n\nThe restaurant is small one of the many on Baldwin but the place is kind of cozy. The food was really good, lots of flavours. I have tried the fajita (to share) and the enchilada. The portion sizes are decent.\n\nI would definitely come back again! Reccommended. I've come here for drinks a few times. You have to try the margaritas. Who doesn't love frozen cocktails? They come in big fish bowl glasses with a sweet/salty rim and lots of alcohol! The hidden patio in the back is great in the summer time. Kind of weird that you have to walk through the kitchen to get to the patio. I wonder how sanitary that is???\n\nI recently went back for dinner with my brother and sister-in-law. I had the taco salad. It was filling and had all of the traditional things you'd expect in a taco salad. My sister-in-law had the enchiladas, which I would get next time. They looked really tasty. There's a big pile of lettuce on the top, which I'm always a big fan of with Mexican as I like a bit of crunch. Nothing about the food stood out that much. It was good, but didn't knock my socks off. Despite that, I would go back. The only thing that may deter me from going here for food and not just drinks is that the prices are pretty high. I had a great dinner here with friends last night.\n\n4 main courses and 1 drink (I drank alone...) came to around $85 before tax and tip.\n\nWe were all happy with the service and the food. I ordered veggie fajitas and was impressed to find a variety of vegetables cooked in a delicious sauce. The tortillas seemed fresh and grilled. Although my meal was very filling, I noticed that a couple of my friends polished off their food entirely - an indication that the food was good, but perhaps the portions of some of the meals might have been larger.\n\nAfter our meal, we were the only ones left in the restaurant, but the woman working there told us to stay as long as we liked. There was no rush here, and we appreciated that. I'm not sure if it is a family business of some kind, but it certainly seems like it - in a good way! Margarita- a room for fiestas! I stopped by here with a few friends for a drink and light snack. \n\nBut I didn\'t get a margarita- silly, adventurous me- I got a mango daiquiri. On the menu there is a list of multiple fruit flavours that you can have made into a margarita or daiquiri. I was thinking it would be like a smoothie, like how I used to get virgin strawberry daiquiris as a kid. Hello, I\'m trying to revisit my childhood here! Instead the drink was more like a slushie/melted snow cone with no real mango flavouring in sight. Still yummy, just not what I was expecting and of lower quality. A savior was the drinking glass it came in! A huge "fishbowl"-like goblet! \n\nAs for snacks, we went minimal this time and just grabbed some guacamole. I had low expectations. But out comes this black, stone motor and pestle filled with a bright and creamy guacamole sprinkled with diced tomato! The tastes were great accompanied with nice chips and a little bowl of a homemade hot sauce. The presentation proved to be as useful as it was impressive because you could use the pestle for spreading. I definitely want to try more food here. \n\nCute place and I can\'t wait to try the garden back patio on a sunny day! Wait time: 15 minutes for guacamole. 45 minutes for first entree. \n\nFood: Chicken Enchiladas? More like chicken grease soup with vegetables! Normally, enchiladas are corn tortillias, topped with cheese, filled with shredded meat and cooked in sauce. This was a Fajita soaked in greasy sauce. Topped with too much raw lettuce and raw onions, the tortillias were sitting in a pool of watery grease. Inside it had only a small amount of chunks of chicken and mostly onions and bell peppers - which made it soggy. My friend also had the enchiladas, with a different sauce. She wasn\'t impressed, but hers wasn\'t as greasy so she decided to eat it anyway. The cheese was the good part. But for $15 - this was just not right. The rice on the side was also old and a few pieces were completely hard. The guacamole was great, but the chips were overcooked, stale and rock hand to chewy in texture. I\'ve had much better "fresh" chips. \n\nTried to order another meal to replace the first, but 25 minutes later my friend was done eating and there was no sign of it at the pass so I cancelled the order. \n\nThey took the meal off the bill and were nice about it. Maybe I\'m being overly picky, but I know what a real enchilada is and this wasn\'t one. Might try the fajitas or something else next time. The back patio is really pretty and the drinks are big. :)

Restaurent name is: Raby's review: This restaurant is closed now. A new one opened at this place called 'Afghan Cuisine' Nice atmosphere, good food but not everything on the menu tastes good. Avoid the Thai curry. Came across Raby's in an effort of finding some new restaurants within driving distance of Don Mills. \nAt first, when looking at any menu that has Lebanese, Indian, Thai, Mexican, and Pizza all on the same menu I would be sceptical as it is the opposite of when you can expect good things from a place that has a small but well executed menu. But it was lunch time, and we had people to feed with varying interests so we decided to give it a go.\n\nThe building itself is an old Coffee Style location but they actually did a good job renovating the place. \nThe outside signage is all new and clean. The walls have decorative rock walls, the tables and booths were all pretty nice. Its kind of like they realized the area they were in and realizing that even making the place look marginally nice will make it upscale compared to the local competition. There is a counter area in the one side of the restaurant to order from and then you go have a seat on the other side and they bring the food out to you. The staff were pretty friendly overall and the bathrooms were clean so in the competition of strip mall and fast food places in the neighbourhood, you can't hold this place back for its setup.\n\nMyself and a couple others settled on a daily special that was not on the menu where we got a big plate of a whole lot of options including some chicken tikki masala, butter lentils, some kind of vegetarian red colored sauce thing, a piece of tandoori chicken, a big pile of rice, a piece of naan, and a single gulab jamon ball for dessert. With a Vinto soda, this all only came to $9.59 after tax!!! Once the food came out (which took about 15 minutes), we began to chow down and I gotta say, not one thing was disappointing. It was all actually pretty darn good, and for the size of the plate of food in front of me, couldn't believe it was under $10. The flavours and seasonings all were well executed, and even the naan was fantastic. The only down side was that the tikki masala and curry based dishes weren't the hottest in temperature, and by the time finishing off the plate were reaching a lukewarm state.\nTwo other dining companions ordered the chicken shawarma, 1 on a rice and salad plate and 1 in a wrap. The salad/rice shawarma came out with a healthy portion of fresh grilled chicken over a good size plate of rice and salad with a side of hummus, it looked quite good and got 2 thumbs up from its eater. The wrapped shawarma also and he was super impressed, to the point of saying one of the best shawarmas that he's ever had. The one thing that this place seems to have going for it is that it cooks the chicken fresh on order and is really moist and not too dry, but at the same time don't expect it in your hands 3 minutes after ordering like some places.\n\nOne surprising thing was how empty the place is. It was 12-1pm lunch time on a Friday, and I only saw one other table and two take out order individuals come in while we were there. Hopefully this place drums up some business as Raby's can certainly count on my return in the near future, and I'd hate to see this place have to close up shop leaving us with one less decent lunch place in the area. The service is so slow it's like watching someone in slow motion their attitude seem like they could care less if you ever came back. As for the food it's just ok so go somewhere else. You will be sure to get better service (anything is better than them) and the food will be better too! I really like this place in terms of quality for the price. I had the chili chicken and it was really good. All breast meat pieces and a nice balance of spices. It's a great place to go for people that don't want to commit to a specific cuisine. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back!

Restaurent name is: North and South Seafood & Smokehouse review: We visited North and South for the first time on a Saturday and the goal was to have the smoked Prime Rib which we have heard about. We arrived in the 6-7 hour and of course that was the busy time. The wait was over 1 hour so we lucked out and grabbed a spot at the bar where another couple was leaving. The bar was certainly cozy next to other patrons however we decided to eat dinner there. The bar tender was on top of his game serving all the people at the bar and drinks for the restaurant. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and that was impressive. We did order deep fried pickle chips for appetizer and the smoked Prime Rib. The prime was awesome!! The smoke flavor was fantastic and we had not ever had smoked prime rib before. The overall experience for a busy night was outstanding. I hope others can experience the same. The owners were on site working hard as well. Thank you to the team for making our night memorable. We enjoyed it so much I wanted to go out of my way to write a review. PROS: Great seafood, great customer service, easy parking, clean dishwares / tables, "bang for your buck"\n\nCONS: Wait-times can be long for groups 4+\n\nI went with my girlfriend for dinner and we absolutely recommend the Tampa dish! Our server, Juliana, was very attentive and welcoming. This is a fantastic spot to bring your friends and loved ones! The entrees come with two sides, so they are usually more than enough to fill one person. Definitely try this place out! Unbelievably disappointing. I got the brisket and received 4 slices that had obviously been sitting in some type of warmer for more than a little while and 2 tiny sides. Having lived in Texas the claim that this is Texas BBQ is ridiculous. I am sorry to say that this was the worst brisket I have ever had. Dry, tough and tasted liked dried out roast.\n\nMy son had the pulled park which was not much better, dry and tough; much more like jerky than pulled pork. The only highlight of the meal, if you could call it that were his French fries.\n\nSeeing some of the other reviews, they may have just had a really, really bad night but this would certainly be the last place in Madison I would go for BBQ. Stopped in for the snow crab. Was ok but not great. I guess it would be nice to have snow crab legs that was better than red lobster. My wife had the 3 choice fish. Was very good. I love their corn rolls. Tired of chain BBQ? There\'s hope. The folks (Keith and Erin) who run this place have quite a menu of great tasting stuff. I first tasted their ribs/brisket/pulled pork at an event that they catered and promptly put them on my "must" list. Last Saturday was the day. Turns out Saturday is their Smoked Prime Rib special day and since I don\'t bite into Prime Rib all that often, certainly not Smoked Prime Rib ... the ribs will have to wait. I ordered the 16oz serving (+potato cakes and salad), some else ordered the 10 oz serving (+slaw and fries) and the S.U. ordered the smoked salmon special (+slaw and fries).\n\nThe Smoked PR was killer. It was a big portion served a perfect medium rare. Fantastic!. The potato pancakes were excellent. The S.U. wagged her finger at me for ordering the big slab o\' meat but I pointed out to her that, while I was very happy and well sated, our companion who showed 10 oz of restraint, was already talking about going back for another one in the parking lot. No question, meat eaters, get the smoked PR. Next time ribs! \n\nThe S.U.\'s smoked salmon was large and also very tasty. I smoke my own salmon and it was a bit salty for my tastes. She liked it. A big chunk came home with us and made it\'s way into smoked salmon/fresh chives scrambled eggs the next morning. Mmmmm!\n\nUn-Chain yourself and go check this place out. Good eating, fer sure!

Restaurent name is: Hoki Pok\xc3\xa9 review: There's been so much hype about poke and sushi burritos these days that I decided to try it out today. I've always been hesitant to try either because it always looked like a salad or just an uncut maki roll. \n\nHowever, I decided to try this place which is close to my work and I ordered a veggie bowl, which came with some nori, tofu, black/purple rice, edamane, sesame seeds and some other veggies and teriyaki sauce. The price was $11.95 + tax. \n\nWhat I liked about it was that the warm purple rice mixed with the cold veggies and nori was a contrast in texture and also hot/cold which felt very good in my mouth (that's what she said lol). I really did like the taste. In addition, the service was very fast and it took less than 3 minutes to fill my order.\n\nHowever, as I suspected, for the portion I received, it was quite small. For almost $12, I expect a heaping portion or fill me up, but I would need at least two of them to fill me up. \n\nVerdict: Would I come back? Sure once in a while, maybe once a month or so, but definitely not something I would have on the regular. If it was less than $10, then yes, but the extra $2 makes a huge difference. $18 total, loaded up with everything I wanted.\n\nLarge poke bowl on black rice with Ahi tuna (+0.25), Salmon, and Albacore Tuna (+0.25) with Wasabi mayo, all base toppings (crap ton of stuff), added premium topping avacado (+1.50) and the crunch of onion crisps\n\nThe quality of the fish wasn't anything spectacular and wasn't all too filling either. Even after I finished the largest rice bowl I was still a bit hungry\n\nI would recommend checking it out for the novelty but wouldn't suggest it as quality food. Nothing out of the norm of what I was used to, they have a sushi burrito too nowadays so that's worth giving a try too. Would come again depending on my cravings. Overall, it has a nice taste but the meal in itself is quite underwhelming. You can taste each of the individual ingredients and it doesn't necessarily work well together. Would definitely recommend the wasabi mayo though, adds a nice kick! This wasn't my first time of poke experience. I went to New York and fell in love with Poke. I like Hoki poke because they offer all the basic toppings without extra charge. We had veggie bowl and veggie burrito. The combination with the sauce and other ingredients taste good. small place like any other poke shops. fast& friendly service. I don't get why this place has as low of a rating as it does. This is my first time here and I had a spicy poke bowl that was a flavourful adventure from start to finish. Service was FAST, I'm talking like I ordered and only waited about 3 minutes to receive my food. The only downside is their seating arrangement, very tight and limited. This has been my favourite pok\xc3\xa9 place so far. \nWe decided to try it, since it wasn't far and we were hungry. We were greeted immediately when we came in and quickly settled on a classic Hoke Poke Burrito to share. We sat at one of the two tables and waited, but not too long. It was nice to watch them making it by hand. \nThere was a nice amount of tuna and salmon in the burrito, and I really appreciated the chunks of avocado, since most places charge a lot for it. There were lot of flavors and textures that blended together, so I enjoyed every bite! For half a burrito, I was quite satisfied. It was also less expensive than other places I have been too. \nMy favourite part is that I didn't feel sick after, unlike a previous poke experience. Although that may have been connected to the volume of food I consumed.\nI will definitely be back to try another, possibly the Crush Burrito. I am only taking off a star for the lack of seating and the price (which I notice are both trends in poke places). All in all, a 4.5/5!

Restaurent name is: Magnolia's Veranda review: Good food and prices are the only reason it gets two stars. Customer service sucks big time not to mention I definitely was the youngest in the place.\nI went to the lady to be seated and she looks down and without welcoming me asks "how many?" I already knew the bad reviews were going to be confirmed.\nI sit and watch most of the servers not smiling so one lady comes to me and takes my drink order. When she brings it, I proceed to give her my food order and she sd my sever will take that. Strange. A minute later, someone takes my order and she gave very little eye contact.\nGood was good but glad I didn\'t eat too much bc I tipped under the standard 20%. When my food was brought and when my check was brought I didn\'t get a thank u or a smile. The only one who was friendly was the one who takes the money on the way out. \nCustomer service is definitely everything. \nI definitely won\'t be back. Went there for my B-day, the service & food were great. Was even surprised to get a two for one for my b-day treat. It was a nice bonus, being a disabled marine, some places make me uncomfotable, not here, they were great.\n\nNext visit i want to try Hugo Cellar, but need to save money for that place. :) The cafe/restaurant is located in the 4 Queens Casino and Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas.\nThe prices are very affordable and portions are huge! Basically the size of the food is what you expect to be served to linebackers. Definitely bang for your buck.\n\nOver 3 days we had lunch here and everyday we had the gumbo soup. And it's served in a giant saucer plate that is pretty deep too, you can almost have it as an entree! I also had the chef's salad (again a huge helping) and cheese steak as well. Full disclosure we were comped for the food, so all we paid was tip.\n\nEven if it wasn't for free I would eat there. Huge portions, good price and decent quality. Never again... \n\nAfter a long day of traveling, I selected Magnolia's for dinner just for convenience sake since its located in the Four Queens. The Portuguese Sausage was a disappointment. However, I'm not a huge dinner sausage person so thought maybe it was my bad. The next morning, my dad was drinking coffee at Magnolias waiting for me to get ready. For breakfast, I ordered the Breakfast Burrito. Gross doesn't even describe this burrito. It ltasted like cardboard. Two bites and then I threw in the towel. Please note my parents raised me not the waste food. It's a very rare occasion for me to throw so much food away.\n\nThe reason for the 2 stars is fast service, nice wait staff, and my dad liked the ribs he ordered for dinner. We came here on a Sunday evening and ordered \n1. Half Ribs, 13.99\n2. 2 Herb chicken breast, 11.99 \n$18 (Used a BOGO entree. You get it when you become a new member at 4 Queens)\n\n- In 4 Queens. \n- Seated right away. Although they were a bit busy, they work fast. \n- Salad similar to a 99cent bag at a grocery store but with a small tomato and chopped onions. \n- Soup was very salty, which was expected, especially from the sausage. \n- Half ribs were tasty. But not like LongHorn Casino ribs. \n- SIde beans were untouchable. unappetizing. \n- Baked potato only available starting at 4pm. I suggest that you get it. \n- French fries were ordinary. Not too fresh. The taste of warm fries sitting on a oven. \n- Veggies taste like it's from a can. \n- Chicken herb was pretty good. Chicken was cooked thoroughly, but a bit tough. I added a bit more salt to the chicken to make it taste just right for me. \n- Typical dine-in casino restaurant. Same feel as Grand Cafe at a Station Casino. \n- I'd come only with a coupon

Restaurent name is: Green Mango review: Always good food, fresh, taste as expected\n\nPrice is fair\n\nAlways share so you can get variety\n\nBeen to many thai places and still love this one more Not as good as it used to be. I used to love this restaurant. I'm not sure if they've changed cooks or owners but it's definitely declined. Service was mediocre. Food was TERRIBLE. I do not recommend. Clean nice restaurant! Good Thai food, not out of this world but really good. Priced fairly. My family and had had about 6 different main dishes to share and taste from and the very best was the mango salad and the boba tea. Very peaceful and the severs are all very kind We went here on a Saturday night. The restaurant was packed but the wait staff was very good at keeping us informed about status of getting a table, Once seated it took quite a while for anyone to come by. The food came quickly after we ordered. That's where the good times sort of ended. I've eaten here in the past, and the food was pretty good. However, I think they're changed the phad thai recipe. It used to yummy, now it's just not good at all. It was ketchupy and though there was lots of chicken, there were no vegetables, save for large pieces of green onion.\nOther people in our party had to doctor their food with hot sauce to make it palatable. Lemongrass fried rice! This is my ultimate favorite here. It's so fragrant and flavorful, whether it's shrimp, beef or chicken. I've tried the basil beef and spicy noodles with basil which were all right. I'm not a fan of the ginger chicken-- I found it watery and lacking in flavor. The twin sister crab cakes were so-so and a bit over-priced. I love the mango and sticky rice! I'll be coming back to try more of their food, including all those lovely sounding desserts!

Restaurent name is: Bar 107 review: Outstanding food and service. It is so great to have such a friendly place right around the corner. They really bend over backwards to give you what you want. I love their flatbread pizzas. The BLT flatbread is to die for. \nJust a great friendly place with great food where everybody knows your name. How can you beat that. Try it you will love it. Jessica and Shania always treat me like royalty. They have reasonably priced beers, exceptional food, and live entertainment. Not to mention they have an open mic night every Wednesday which is fun for amateurs like me. Keep up the good work everybody Food was overcooked and the waitress didn't really seem to care. Kinda of got the vibe it's for drunk college kids, I'd pass there are alot of better places in Berea\n\nIt's a flaming bag of garbage, take your hard earned money somewhere else Great local collage bar. Great food. Not sure about other reviews but I love this bar! The owner/bartender Jessica is delightful! \n\nI always receive great service here, I come for Thursday Karaoke night, and the food is great. I've had the flat bread, burger, wings, and chicken fingers which were all delicious!\n\nI'm not a drinker, karaoke night patron, but I've seen some of the cocktails that the girls make and they look amazing!\n\nThis place is definitely worth checking out!

Restaurent name is: Cuco's Mexican Restaurant review: Cuco\'s service deserves a zero-star rating, but some of their food redeems them to two stars (still nothing to brag about...). My wife and I ate here shortly after they opened and were disgusted by the slow, uncaring service. The food was alright--rather bland--but hearing "oh, I forgot" over and over from our server (when we could find her) made sure we didn\'t return until last night when we decided to give them another try. Some things never change..... The food was bland and the service was nonexistent. We won\'t go back. If you come here, do not go for the normal combination dinners. The meat is barely spiced, and the sauce on my burrito tasted closer to marinara than anything else. The salsa was also quite bland. Service was good though. My friend tried the fajitas, and those were also not bad. Still, I would see no reason to come here if I did not work in Verona. There are much better places in Madison. My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Thought we\'d try a new place. The place was nearly empty but we were a bit early for lunch. I was very excited when the chips and salsa were brought to the table before we had ordered. The chips were disappointing in that they tasted as though they had been fried in old oil. They had a bad greasy taste to them. We both ordered the fajita taco salad; mine with shrimp, my husband\'s with chicken. Both were absolutely terrible. Again the fried tortilla bowl had a bad greasy taste and the "salad" inside the bowl was unrecognizable. We had a hard time determining which salad had shrimp and which had chicken. Once that was sorted out we noticed neither had guacamole as described in the menu and I could only find a small smear of sour cream on my salad. The worst part was that I came across what looked like a green bean. Setting it aside I continued to eat and then found a pea. Curious now we both set to digging through the muck in our bowls and both of us found several green beans and peas. In a fajita taco salad? We were so shocked we started to wonder where the salad "filling" had come from. Who puts green beans and peas in a taco salad? These certainly were not mentioned in the description on the menu. We were both put off by these odd veggies that we could not finish. Needless to say we won\'t be back. My family is quite the fan of this place. Yes its not the most authentic Mexican food but we live in Verona, we take what we can get. I think they have great salsa, and the're fajita anything is great! Even tho the waiters don't speak very good english we've never had a problem custom ordering things for my picky fiancee and they are always friendly. \nEach table has a unique theme so always nice to have things to look at and talk about over dinner. \nIt's too bad Pasqual's is open right around the corner but I don't think they are going to hurt business any. :) We were the first to arrive at dinner time. We ordered the kids milk. 10 minutes later I got up and had to look for a employee. They were out of milk so had to go shopping to get more. Didn't tell us, didn't bring us chips id take our order. The meal didn't get better from there.\n\nThis is the second time we tried here, last time we said we'd never come back. Should have listened to ourselves.

Restaurent name is: Amorino Las Vegas review: "The New Gelato Kid On The Block"\n\nWhile people are anxiously awaiting spots like Handel\'s, CREAM, and Gelato Messina to make its way to Las Vegas, Amorino Gelato has just opened up its first location on the West Coast at Town Square!\n\nA co-worker tipped me off about the opening last week, and we decided to wait until Christmas had passed, and so we finally got the chance to go tonight. Originally thinking it was in a brick and mortar type setting with tables and chairs, it is situated in those kiosk huts (like Lollicup) right across the Apple Store next to Brio. This is more like your grab and go type establishment but there are a few stools(no counter space) to enjoy your gelato.\n\nServing up the closest thing you would get from Europe, a woman and two French men welcomed us in(One of the men had just got off the plane from Paris with his family four hours earlier and he was working!?!? How\'s that for a "Welcome to Las Vegas!?!?) They offered samples upon samples for us to try-gelato, sorbetto, gelato macarons, chocolate, etc....you can definitely taste the quality in every product they serve. what\'s also incredible is that all of their waffles and cones are imported from Paris, and for their Foccacine(gelato "sandwich") uses brioche which they were sadly out of. I didn\'t really care for the macarons because they lacked the crisp shell because of soaking up condensation from being in the gelato case.\n \nFlavors available during our visit were (Gelato)Vanilla, Chocolate, Straciatella, Tiramisu, Amarena Cherry, Pistachio, Coffee, Chocolate with mint chocolate, and Nutella with mint chocolate... (Sorbetto) Yogurt, Banana, Chocolate, Raspberry, and Mango...limited flavors right now, but they are planning to have about 24 different flavors, including Speculoos and Nocciola.\n\nI went all in and got a Waffle, with Amarena Cherry Gelato and Mango Sorbetto with no additional toppings, so I could enjoy the flavors and textures unadulterated. I also managed to get a bite of Wifey\'s cone which was nice and crunchy. My waffle was warm, crisp, and soft, and I was so glad to enjoy Amarena Cherry Gelato once again since no one makes it in town, and that mango sorbet....simply some of the best I have ever tasted, utilizing the highly prized Alphonso Mango from India, the taste, texture, and deep egg yolk color cannot be beat.\n\n After killing my waffle which was absolutely FANTABULOUS, One of the guys asked "Is there anything else you would like to try???...You!(looking at me!?) Everyone was content with their orders and filled up on some ramen action earlier, but I met up with everyone here, so I had a little more space in my opu, so I said "Self, let\'s kill a crepe!" I told the guy to "surprise me" and make it however he would want me to enjoy it, so some Nutella Gelato with mint chocolate and Pistachio gelato were wrapped in a warm chewy crepe and topped with whipped cream. Best.gelato.in.town!...Great first visit and most definitely not the last! I would definitely return for a Waffle or crepe, and I have yet to try a Focaccine....\n\nKnow Before You Go:\nCONES-(scooped to look like a flower, unlimited flavor options)\n\nPiccolo-$5.50\nClassico-$6.75\nGrande-$8.50\n\nCUPS\n\nPiccola-$5.50\nClassica-$6.75\nGrande-$8.50\nGigante-$9.75\nGrandissima-$14.00\n\nFOCACCINE, WAFFLES, and CREPES\n\nSugar-$4.25\n\nApricot or Strawberry Jam, Gianduja or Chocolate, Salted Butter Caramel-$5.75\n\nGelato, Sorbetto-$7.50\n\nCoffee, Tea. Lattes, Frappes, Hot Chocolate(10 different kinds! ) etc. are also offered here. Not sure about the business hours though. Looking for some legit gelato and sorbetto? Bookmark it now!. Yeah, prices are up there, but for the quality of ingredients used, you are definitely getting what you pay for IMHO...Quality, not quantity...otherwise, you\'re better off sticking to the dollar cones at Mickey D\'s if you\'re gonna have buyers remorse. Welcome to Vegas Amorino Gelato! ALOHA!!!\n\nShaka Meter: \\uuu/ \\uuu/ \\uuu/ \\uuu/ 4.5 I'm am updating this review!!! After posting my previous review the owners commented back wanting me to come back in and were extremely nice about the whole situation. I haven't had an owner be that nice after posting a semi bad review. I went back and met Nicholas. He was so nice and told be the whole background story of this place and how they make everything, along with letting me try the macaroons & gelato. The macaroons were DELICIOUS. I mean, SO good. I ended up going with the lemon gelato which tasted like a glass of lemonade, so refreshing. I'm still not overwhelmed with the price, but the customer service was excellent and I found something I loved. Thank you Nichols & Jeremy! Not fair that Vegas has two Amorino locations so close to each other and we have one in all of CA.\nThis location is just as lovely, I am obsessed with not only how pretty but how insanely tasty their gelato is!\nIt is light and refreshing, but somehow still dense and decandent, I go with the fruit flavors and had mango, strawberry and passionfruit here, shaped into a beautiful flower on a waffle cone.\nI think the prices are fair, as are the portions for the quality and presentation you are getting.\nService is fantastic, one of my favorite places to get dessert, I will be back next time I am in Vegas again! Went here the other day and had some gelato and it was amazing. I've been to Italy and had the freshest of fresh when it comes to gelato and theirs is just as good if not better. I definitely recommend this place if you're in Town Square. The staff was also very friendly. Finally a gelato place in town that is amazing !!! Get the speculoos and thank me later. Tried this place on recommendation. My girl and I love gelato. This place is top notch. The owner spent time explaining the company and how the gelato is shipped from Paris. It's by far the best gelato in town. Must try it. 5 stars

Restaurent name is: Big Guy's Sports Grill review: Really like this place. It is small and cozy - lots of TVs to see whatever team you are cheering for. So excited to see Sam Adams Octoberfest on tap - that doesn't happen too many places. The wings were also very good. They were a bit small, but I got 8 wings when I ordered 6 so that made up for the size. Nice staff too. I think we will be spending lots of game days here! Went here yesterday to watch the US Open and NBA Finals. The TV set up is good, lots of large screens all over. Drink prices were fair (4.25 for a Kiltlifter and 5 bucks for a shot of Dewar's). Food was fair. 3 1/2 stars for the service and the video arrangement, 3 stars for the food/drink. There was a bit of a moldy aroma in the air, hopefully they get that straightened out by the next time I'm back. \n\nI'll check it out again for happy hour if I'm in the neighborhood. Visited Big Guy's Sports Grill for the first time on 4/11. The food and drinks were reasonably priced and the wings were great! \n\nEstablishment has enough flat screens so that no one will miss the action no matter where they are seated. I look forward to visiting Big Guy's for an upcoming playoff game. It's been a while and I had such a great time I had to update my review. Taco Tuesday everyone seems to have one but, Big Guys will fill you up on 2-3 of their TT specials. Not to mention the fresh veggies with a choice of GB or chicken. As always a good tap beer selection and a smoking patio. My favorates are Green pork Chili, the burger and the Friday fish fry. I also recomend the vegies as a substitue to the standard side.

Restaurent name is: China Gourmet review: A very good and well priced example of Chinese take out. We got sesame chicken and had enough to eat it for three meals. It's pretty standard take out. I wish there was a bit more extra sauce, but other than that it was very good. The meat was good quality and the rice was perfect. Nothing to complain about here. I will be back. Excellent food and service! Huge fan of war won ton soup. Super fresh ingredients and great atmosphere. If you're looking for good Chinese, look no further Love Chinese food. It's hit or miss with so many Chinese restaurants in the valley. China Gourmet is my usual go to because they cook my food fast and it's good. It's one thing to have fast service but it's amazing to have your food cooked fast and it's delicious. Love this place and my children do too. I've had Szechuan chicken, shrimp, Mongolian beef, general tsao chicken, and their combination stir fry is sssooo yummy The food was under par. Plus the service was under decent. Not a good experience and will never go back. do nott order from this place!! unbelievably rude as hell!!!!!! had delivery many times!same person always takes the order. cannot speak english! messed up our orders a million x, would call & never got reimbursed! my ex would have me order when he came2visit. i called diff chick answers. she continues to have me repeat myself a million xx and i cannot understand a flipping thing she is saying -then she passed ph to 1 normally answers i said " what is going on"? she said " because every time you call your drunk"!!

Restaurent name is: Chu Resto review: I've ordered the crab noodles, texture was good and the flavour is very good. There was a good amount of crab inside. I've asked what the sauce is, the waitress told me there is peanut butter in the sauce. Usually I don't like any sauce with peanut butter but the way they flavour the sauce is good. \n\nI got my hubby a beef one for take out, he really enjoyed it and suggested he wants to take his friend from work to try! Grand opening is 20% on all noodles until April 24th 2018! It was my first time at the restaurant, and I got the mildly spicy noodles ( a 1 on a scale of 0-5). The noodles were so spicy that after one bite my lips burned, and I couldn't eat more...I explained the situation to the waitress. She insisted that there was no mix up in the order and that the restaurant's spice level is just really high. I asked if she could replace the order with zero spicy as I couldn't consume it as is- no can do. So I ended up paying $13 for one bite of noodles...There are so many options on Yonge Street. Will never step foot in there again. Another reason why i don't want to visit a new restaurant that all hype up on social media. Noodle is good, nice texture. Sauce is awesome. I got the crayfish and intestines. Like it both\nOrdered pan fried bao - came out the meat still raw \nServer changed to another one, the last one i ate still raw\nThey still charge me on the receipt\nPlace is very small. Can sit like 8-10 people\nServer is not knowledgeable about menu, again, common problem with any other small new Chinese restaurant. She was eating lunch next to us too which is very rude because there are still customers coming in\nI dont understand where is there basic server manners First time being here in general. It was called Wuhan 1950 before and it has just recently rebranded itself. Friend and I came here for lunch, roughly 1pm. It was empty so the food came quickly so I can't speak for other times; the place is quite small, can probably only seat... 10 people maximum? Maybe even less.\n\nOrdered the hot dry noodle, one beef one crab meat. The crab meat was on the side of being too little in my opinion for something that was $13.99, $4 more than the beef hot dry noodle which was $9.99. The regular signature one is $7.99. We also ordered a side dish, the Wuhan Shaomei and it was yummy.\n\nIt was delicious, however, I can't say I am a huge fan of the style/cuisine, and neither was my friend. But I am sure it's because my tastebuds were unappreciative of it. It was saucy in the sense that it has a strong taste to it. One I'm not too used to.\n\nI recommend people to try it though! You'll never know if you do until you try it! :)\n\nSince they've rebranded, they have 20% off all noodle dishes until April 24, 2018. Enjoy it while it lasts :) Pretty good! I\'ve only tried the pork and black bean dry noodles but have had them multiple times. I really like this "restaurant" (food court stall) as an alternative to ramen in the area. The portion is quite fair (usually two meals for me) and the food quality is quite good for the price. The noodles are slippery and firm, the meat and black beans are savory and hearty, and the toppings (onions, greens, etc.) add a lot of flavor.\n\nThe one thing is that there\'s definitely a lot of oil and I find this dish quite fatty - I have a pretty high tolerance for rich foods but I definitely prefer to eat this as two meals because it\'s very heavy for one.

Restaurent name is: El Nahual review: Amazing food and well presented. Corrected a friends misunderstanding of good Mexican food. Love the atmosphere and feel of the place. Had the chance of trying this place out last Fri night. I gotta say hands down one of the best places for Mexican food in TO and one of the best hidden gems in the city. Don't let the location and the size of the place fool you. This is an absolute must for foodies and especially those looking for a great Mexican joint. One of the guys at the front was super friendly and easy to talk to. Tried the fish tacos and the quesadilla and felt like it was the best fish tacos and quesadilla I've ever had in my life. Everything was well made and had all the right flavors. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food that your'e getting. I'll definitely be coming back and trying more food. The food was very tasteless and overpriced for what they offer. We order tacos which had no pico de Gallo or tomato's. We also order a quesadilla which had very little cheese. Note: This restaurant is more for a quick bite / take-out. Although I really wouldn\'t recommend that you wait too long as I don\'t think the tacos will taste as good!\n\nTacos appear to be small, but they really pack a punch in terms of taste! I ordered 3 tacos/$12: Fish, Yucatan Chicken, & Al Pastor. All of them tasted distinct, with different toppings, and were visually appealing as well. They looked as though pride was taken in the presentation of the tacos! Very good and I was actually full after eating them. Initially, I was doubtful when I saw how petit they were. :)\n\nParking: "Restaurant" is located on the smaller, north side of Keele Street. There is PAID angled parking just in front/across the street. During my visit, there were plenty of street parking (paid) on Eglinton itself. If you\'re eastbound on Eglinton Ave W, it can be tricky to turn left onto this small street as the street is very busy / undergoing construction. \n\nAtmosphere: El Nahual is quite small. There is only counter seating for 8-10ppl. Stools are solid, but they look like crates turned on their side, so they\'re not very comfortable. Again, this is why I said that I don\'t think this place is intended for dining in for an extended period of time.\n\nIt was really hot out when I came in and they kept the doors open. It wasn\'t super uncomfortable, but it definitely will be if it was more humid.\n\nService: Girl at the counter was very friendly and nice. Note that the food does take a while, so DO NOT come here if you need to be in/out. After I ordered, the girl said that tacos would take 15-20mins and that was pretty accurate.\n\nI would definitely come back to try out other tacos &/or even get a burrito, but for now, only if I was in the area as it\'s quite congested and Eglinton is really messed up. \n\nFree chips w/ creamy guac with Yelp check-in! Love this place! By far the best shrimp burritos or tacos I've ever had! Yummy and that's greenish white sauce is sooo good.

Restaurent name is: Lucky's Bar & Grille review: Pretty typical sports bar...def recommend their nachos. This is one of many "sports" bars near the stadium.... and near my home. \n\nI usually end up here not for the sports aspect, but for the near-home aspect. My meterology roommate is to blame; he drags me here for tempting reasons such as "one beer!" or "It\'s weather-man appreciation day." How can I say no? (He fancies the bar because there is always one television showing the weather channel).\n\nIt\'s easy enough to carve away some space, if no where else than at the sidewalk-window. I can get by. .. and enjoy some great conversation about what precipitation probability means.\n\nAnyway, I\'m getting at a point here. The point is, while the conversation is pretty geekishly delicious, the beer never is. It\'s always off. I coulda sworn the Stella Artoise was switched for bud light. The next visit the Newcastle was weak and smelled like sour socks. \n\nIs lucky\'s getting old kegs or treating them in the sun? I don\'t like their funk beer. 2 stars. Great staff, great food! Not just a fantastic badger football game beer garden! Lucky's has done a great job recently upgrading both the TVs and the food. I have liked their food over the past two years, but more recently, things seem to have taken a step up. I had the fish fry a few weeks ago, and it was significantly better. I had the cod, and not only were the portions generous, the new batter was outstanding flavor and the seasoned baked potato was a great surprise. By the way, try the $1 tacos on Tuesday nights, an awesome deal and great flavor. Overall, this is very nice spot for lunch or dinner, and they always have an good drink special. Just came here to watch some march madness games on a Saturday. There were a lot of families and groups of guys, so the crowd isn't your typical college crowd.\n\nThere's TVs everywhere and the staff are very accommodating if you want to change the channel. \n\nThe food is fairly good/ standard bar food. We got cheese curds and the papa grande, which is basically a nacho platter but with waffle fries. I guess the food was good for the purpose it serves, but wasn't out standing.

Restaurent name is: El Paso Mexican Grill review: Went to El Paso for dinner last night with my husband and two kids (age 2.5 & 4.5). We walked in a stood around for a while trying to figure out if we were supposed to seat ourselves or be seated. Someone noticed us after a few minutes and seated us. Chip and salsa were good and they refilled it for us twice. We didn't order any drinks but happy hour is 4-7 and they had some good drink specials. A Corona would have been $2.99 and house margarita was $4. The service was friendly and polite but very slow. We waited for our food for a long time. My husband and I both ordered enchiladas and we both liked them, especially the refried beans. The kids meals were a good size and only $4.50. Both of our kids got a cheese quesadilla, taco and french fries. Overall we liked the food. The service just needs some work but I guess that's to be expected with a new restaurant. A mixed bag, I've been going here for awhile but I'm liking it less and less.\nThe short version:\n+good food\n+decent view\n+decent atmosphere and decorations\n-Promotions they use to get people in the door aren't worth it\n-Parking is mildly annoying\n-Staff are overworked or just a few don't pay much attention.\n\nFirst, their parking lot is tiny, and they have about 4 signs (instead of signs with daily specials) warning patrons not to park across the street or else they will be towed... but they have an agreement to let people park at a church across the street and about 3 doors down. This has always been an issue with this location even before it became El Paso's... but it's offset by the view. There are big windows by the bar and a decently large patio overlooking a small valley with lots of trees but also noisy 4-lane Rt 19.\nThe menu is fairly large and includes seafood and vegetarian options. If you don't KNOW your Mexican food, a large part of the menu lacks descriptions and the rest is described in generic ingredients. Lately I usually get the Cozumel burrito. The Cozumel is tasty, with tender moist pulled pork, caramelized peppers and onion slivers like a fajita, a light cheese sauce, and a large enough portion for a little leftovers, no sides.\nOn my most recent visit, I decided to order a $2.99 draft (regular size, not tall) XX beer and the $10.99 Cozumel, my wife got a chipotle-honey shrimp dish that she thought was a really good balance of sweet and spicy. She had to leave early, and I thought it was nice that one of the bartenders asked if I was happy, if I'd been there before (I usually eat outside, and bring friends). Our actual server never asked if I needed more water even though I was 3/4 finished before the food arrived, and I noticed he charged me for a $4 drink on the receipt, and our meal was about $36 after tax.\nOn a previous visit, a different server tried to decline a coupon (which said it was good till the end of next month) for a free dessert, but after a mood-killing wait to talk to a manager they brought out a really small slice of snickers pie. I don't know if they cut a normal slice in half, or if their portions really are just that small.\n\nIt's not that cheap or convenient, and the food is good but not special, and it's a shame because I feel like it was a better restaurant when they first opened. As it stands, I'm starting to consider other places on the lower or higher end of prices. Wish I could give a review of the food, but no such luck. Dinner plans with friends were switched to this restaurant, so I gave a call to check whether they could accommodate my gluten-free diet. The server answering the phone said he could not give me an answer (seriously?) and asked that I call back when a manager was available. (Good customer service would dictate that the servers would have a clue, or at least take my name & # and have someone call ME back.) Spoke to a manager the next day or said they could not accommodate me. Watching others eat gets old fast, so I passed. I am always skeptical of Mexican food in Pittsburgh, I have been to too many mediocre places. Tried ElPaso for lunch today and brought my family back for dinner. Hands down the best Mexican place I eaten at since leaving the West coast. Yum! Lori was out bartender she was awesome this place is fun! Margaritas are amamazzzing! I'll be back

Restaurent name is: Gus's Chalet review: DONT waste your money. Thought we would try somewhere different-I got the walleye-had the skin and had bones! UGH-the waitress never told us the 'specials', overheard her tell someone else after we ordered! Green beans looked awful, tasted like they had been cooked for a week! Overpriced, poor quality!! I've only been to Gus' once. That was too much. I went for a friend's rehearsal dinner, because it was her fiance's parent's favorite place. Ugh, you could barely SEE through the fog of cigarette smoke, of course this was a while ago when you could still smoke in restaurants.\n\nService was TERRIBLE, especially given that we were giving them close to $500 worth of business. Awful food. I will not be as harsh as the other reviews but it is an old person resturant. Food was very bland and waitress was not very happy. This is my 3rd visit to Gus\'. On my first visit, I ordered their Fried Oysters and enjoyed it. Since then, I\'ve tried to re-ordered it but each time they were out of this item even though it was still on their menu under "chef\'s special". \n\nThey serve 4 free appetizers with each meal - saurkraut balls, bean salad, gus\' toast and veggies. Today, I had the Calamari Sauteed in Butter Sauce. In actuality, it was very lightly breaded squid and looked deep fried. In my opinion, it was over-cooked because it was chewy and not tender. It was served with tartar and cocktail sauce. I would not order it again.\n\nThe server who attended our table was friendly and did a good job keeping our beverages filled. Each course came to us in a timely manner. This was (and I'm not understating) one of the worst dining experiences I've had.\n \nStaff was pretty friendly and that's the only plus I can think of.\n\nI walk in to a building that has to be reminiscent of a late '70's family style restaurant everything was out-dated: furniture, walls, carpet, atmosphere. That's ok, I like hole in the wall places that have great food.\n\nOnto the food, they start you off with: mayo and cheese on toast, mayo heavy bean salad. Okay, tasty but pretty fattening, I don't like that kind of stuff, no big deal. I haven't even ordered an entree yet.\n\nWe decide to go with the Greek food because we love it; first we get salads. I get standard salad out of the giant eagle bag (cheap stuff not spring mix) and top it with a gross balsamic vinigarette that had maybe 5% balsamic 95% other (?). My girlfriend got a Caesar salad, no croutons, covered COVERED in dressing, inedible. (I'm paying for this?). I'm starting to get kinda mad at this point, no thought at all put into the salads.\n\nFinally, food comes. To be fair she liked her calamari, but hard not to when it's fried and covered in butter for God's sake. I get the Moussaka and it can only be described as dog food on a plate. It's like ground hamburger meat with no spices or seasoning, like two little slices of eggplant, FILLED with butter/cheese to hide that there is no flavor, etc. I've had alot of Greek food and had hopes for this place. \n\nI never, ever send food back but had to do it. I couldn't eat it, I was grossed out it was like eating a leather shoe.\n\nAgain, the wait staff was nice so they gave me another dish, that tasted like I was eating a stick of butter (maybe a full stick) spanakopita does NOT taste like that. I didn't send it back I was too let down, just wanted to leave. \n\nI got the check, too much $ for not good food I'm never coming back. Just because you inflate your food with butter and mayo does NOT always make it good it masks flavor and I'm not a happy customer.

Restaurent name is: Salsitas review: This place is horrible, they take to long, they give you the order wrong, they don't give you what you need to eat and drink your meal. We went with some friends, and we had been there before, my fianc\xc3\xa9 likes it, but today the customer service was brutal. The cashier had a horrible attitude plus there was a hair in my food which made me gag. I took back the plate and they didn't even apologize for it. I was a bad experience. I probably payed about 35 roughly. For two people! So yeah.... I love coming in and getting the tripa burrito with everything. The staff are very friendly and fast. I usually go here n there ! But when I do go there's always a lady that is so rude! I mean she could always greet people politely and with a smile ? Let's work on that .. either than that bomb as Fortas I would definitely give 5 starts to there kitchen staff tho I was really excited to see a new 24hr mexican food place open near me. The restaurant itself is pleasing to the eyes with all the vibrant colors and menu. Unfortunately, the food does not have the same attention to detail as the looks for this place. \n\nI ordered a simple carne asada burrito and horchata. The carne asada was okay (a bit on the greasy side) but the beans in the burrito were beyond salty along with the rice. I had to hide the salty flavor with lime and salsa. Though, the red salsa was also over powered by salt. The horchata was way to sweet and had a thick consistancy to it. I ended up taking a few bites of my burrito and a few sips from the horchata before tossing them away.\n\nI really had my hopes up for this place but it just fails to meet its expectations.

Restaurent name is: Famoso Neopolitan Pizzeria review: I had been a frequent visitor of the Edmonton Famoso locations at WEM, Jasper Avenue and North Edmonton. So this was just more of a curiosity on how this location was run. \n\nI was shocked to see the potato white pizza to be off the menu. I was also shocked to see that the gorgonzola walnut salad was charged extra. It was actually part of the meal at the Edmonton locations. \n\nThe pizzas were quite consistent at all the Edmonton locations. The salad lacked a bit of bite and the piece of bread didn't have much of a taste as I'm used to a bit more garlic. The Siciliana pizza wasn't too bad and reminded me of what I ordered before. I usually would order the Vesuvio pizza. \n\nI would go back for a quick pizza but it's kind of hard to compare when the area is predominantly Italian and generally their pizza is good. I hope Famoso does survive in Toronto as it is just another option for wood-oven Napolitano pizza. Not a bad place to dine if you want to temporarily escape from the mall food court atmosphere! They did a great job with Dine on 3, but let\'s face it, it\'s just a glitzy food court that hosts KFC, A&W, Manchu Wok, whatever else that you\'d find in any mall.\n\nTip: After being seated by the hostess, you have to write down your order yourself and bring it to the counter. Your food/drinks will be brought to you. Pay at the end.\n\nI cannot say whether or not it\'s "authentic" thin crust pizza, but it\'s not as thin as Pizzeria Libretto, especially the crust. And depending on what pizza you get, it can get a bit soggy towards the centre of the pie. Still good, marinara sauce tasted fresh \'n tangy!\n\nI would recommend the Italian sodas, nice \'n refreshing addition to my dinner.\n\nService was pleasant, people who worked there seemed very friendly!\n\nKeep in mind that with a drink, dinner will run you about double than what you\'re paying out at the food court. However, the atmosphere is a bit better! It doesn't taste that good especially with the price that they charge. It's to expensive for no reason.Not Surprised that it's permanently closed. Really weird ordering system, that noone really explains. we (2 adults and toddler) were seated at a 2 ppl small square table where besides us there was a large table in the corner where some friend of staff was sitting and texting on her phone.\nPoor and slow service.\nWe ordered Primavera pizza and mozzarella balls wrapped in prosciutto. The latter was quite good, the pizza came burnt. We were told that this is the way it's supposed to be, but I'm sorry, I don't believe we should be tasting ashes let aside that ashes fall off dough in small pieces. We were made another one (it wasn't very nice to wait with our toddler) it was still somewhat burnt, but least eatable. \nWe got 3 kinds of gelato all of which were disgusting and chemically. I guess because we make real gelatos and ice creams at home from REAL stuff we know what it supposed to taste.\n\nWaste of time and money (the prices are quite high). Never again. All of the stuff (bakers and servers) were very young, that might explain the issues, there simply no adult to supervise them and they themselves don't really care. I am not quite sure how to review this restaurant, as I just found the overall experience slightly odd. It's located inside Yorkdale food court, but has it's own seating, waitstaff, etc. When you walk in there is a sign telling you to seat yourself, and take your order to the cash register. We seated ourselves and looked over the menu. If you have questions, it's hard to ask someone as there are no waitstaff assigned to your table. Eventually someone came by to ask if we were planning to order or still deciding. You write down your order on a pad of paper and then bring it up to the cash. You have to indicate your table number, and exactly what you want to order. Then you place your order, but you don't pay. Waitstaff will deliver your food and drinks to your table. We ordered two different kinds of pizza and the beer of the day which was the tankhouse. Both pizzas were okay tasting, but very soggy in the centre. Instead of placing the pizzas on a plate it might be a good idea to have a breathable plate that will prevent it from getting so soggy. The white sauce pizza had garlic butter on it, which was dripping everywhere which was a bit much for me. Both pizzas were okay, but it's not likely I would return. The set up is strange, and there are no bathrooms in the restaurant, so you will have to exit the restaurant and use the food court bathrooms which is also a strange experience.

Restaurent name is: Restaurant Ferrari review: Ce n\'est peut \xc3\xaatre pas le restaurent le plus beau ou le plus "in" de montr\xc3\xa9al, mais \xc3\xa7a reste que c\'est la nourriture la plus semblable que celle d\'Italie! We went to Restaurant Ferrari on a Tuesday night around 7pm. Thinking an fresh pasta Italian restaurant would be busy for a 7pm reservation was wrong. This place was pretty dead. As the other reviews note, there really is one server, the owner and then the chef. \n\nDespite the lack of life in the restaurant, the food was great. We tried their special mozzarella di bufala with tomatoes and pesto. It was scrumptious. I had the create your own pasta dish - paparadelle with a oil based mushroom sauce which was delicious. \n\nThe owner insisted that we try the tiramisu, and it really did complete our meal. They must make it there fresh every day because the consistency was so perfect. \n\nWe also watched the owner interview a young lady to be a waitress, so hope that helps this place out a bit! I went there for lunch. This is a cute little restaurant near st catherine like everyone described. I had no time to research on restaurant because I'm on a business trip this time. We were looking for simple reasonable priced pasta for lunch and just stumbled into here. \nThe menu is simple you pick sauce and type of Pasta ( they will advise you if they think it s not a good combo) I got a cabonara tagliolini, the pasta is a little bit wider than normal, but it's so fresh, and cooked to perfect! My friend got mixed mushroom sauce with tagliolini , and it's just as delicious. \nWe were too hungry and totally forgot to take picture. But if you go to urbanspoon or tripadvisor, there are a lot of reviews and a few pictures.\n\nConclusion: highly recommended and I'll definitely go back to this restaurant when I go to Montreal the next time. The restaurant was pleasantly quiet on a Friday night, with a calm, laidback, unpretentious vibe. The two waitresses were very friendly and provided great service, not worrying about whose table was whose. The bread was delicious, the ravioli arrabiata was very flavourful, but perhaps just under cooked (but better than over cooked!). The highlight was the cr\xc3\xa8me caramel!\n\nThe prices were reasonable and it felt very authentic. Always a good choice for homemade pasta and great veal. The tiramisu is likely the best in town. Like the overall vibe.

Restaurent name is: China Palace review: This place is always empty and I don't understand how they're still open.\n\nAnyway, I almost always get my order to go because they super fill the containers. One day I did opt to dine in. This was my first mistake.\n\nThe man who was serving my friends and I wasn't very helpful. Kind of grunted.\n\nThe food was decent. I would recommend this place for a quick takeout Chinese food fix. Tried this place out while waiting for a movie to start this past weekend, and I now have the stomach flu.\n\nMy friend and I ordered chicken wings and the mixed chow mein. Our noodles were very, very salty and when I had mentioned it to the waiter he said "oh really" and did nothing about it.\n\nit was after i finished eating a chicken wing that i noticed the meat left on the bone was pink. My friend looked at her chicken wing and noticed the same thing. We then took a look at the rest of our wings and the meat were all pink. I told the waiter and he took the plate and said he was going to ask the back kitchen what that meant and he came back and said "They are undercooked". He asked if we wanted anything else, we said no because our meal was already so disappointing, and he never came back to us again. We got up to walk over to him to pay and he said he wouldn\'t charge us for the wings (as if we would pay for it!) But he charged us for the noodles.\n\nWe are never going back to that place again. Our first hint to leave was probably the fact that there was NO ONE ELSE in the restaurant! \n\nIf you eat here, please double check anything you bite into! I finally got around to watching Black Panther at a theatre last Saturday. I had enough points to watch it for free, which made my day even sweeter.\n\nIt was around 15:00 when the movie had finished. I was ready for lunch. I decided to figure out what eateries were around this Courtneypark Cineplex.\n\nI didn't realize that there are a number of small ones when you walk past Shoeless Joe's and Caffe Demetre. I saw China Palace. I looked at the menu with Hakka items. There was spicy garlic chicken. Perfect!\n\nI walked in. It was pretty quiet. There were perhaps two tables with customers. I simply found a table closest to the window and plopped myself down.\n\nThe server came over and gave me a couple of menus. I asked for a Diet Coke to start and continued looking at the menu.\n\nI ordered spicy garlic chicken with gravy. I got white rice with my meal.\n\nI was excited to get my food. The spicy garlic chicken was yummy. I loved the gravy and the kick. There was a decent amount of garlic, which I appreciated. The chicken was tender and yummy.\n\nThe white rice was good. There were a few lumps, which reminded me of growing up and having that happen all the time when my mom cooked rice in a pot on the stove. When you put gravy on top of these clumps, it's all good.\n\nI went to pay at the front desk. Payment methods include debit, credit, and cash. I used my debit to pay. I had enough change to leave a decent tip.\n\nThe washroom is clean and decently stocked. \n\nAlthough I sat away from the door area, the restaurant does get drafty. I still felt the cold whip in when the door was open. It would have been worse if I had sat directly in front of the restaurant's main door.\n\nI'd come back here to try other items on the menu. Perhaps I will come during the weekday and give the lunch special a try.\n\n(154) I give this place a solid 'meh'. I have eaten here more than once. \n\nFood is ok. Service is ok. \n\nIt's quick. At least its got that goin' for it. Food is very flavourful, no issues with the meat quality either. Portions are decent as well for the price you pay. I ended up getting the lunch special with chilli chicken and chow mein noodles. Good for those that appreciate spicy food. Only criticism is that the name 'China Palace' is a little misleading as I found it was more Indian fusion.. Would recommend.

Restaurent name is: Karen Thai Cuisine review: Food and service both great. I had the basil fried rice and my friend had the chicken pad thai! We wanted Thai so we decided to check out this place, we came in and ask to be seated, other than the couple that was already here the restaurant was pretty slow or maybe we came in a slow day. I order Pad Thai noodle, which came with chicken, and shrimps and my friend got green curry beef. The Pad Thai noodle was pretty flavorful and not too sweet just the way I like it, my friend also like the curry with beef which was great. She loved it. We weren't too hungry so we just took the rest home. The service was great and we didn't have to wait too long to get our food. They also have lunch special and we will be back again to try their lunch. I will recommend this place to friend and family who are looking for Thai food or just wanted to try for the first time. We love this place! Reminds us of our favorite place back home. Great food and friendly/happy staff!!!! I've eaten a lot of good authentic thai food in my life...this was not even close to what I would call decent thai food. It was edible. I'll give it that...but that might just be because I was starving. The chicken pad thai was greasy and pretty flavorless until I slathered it in chili sauce. Also, the thai tea was WEAK...no strong flavor and almost like they used regular milk or skim milk on top. I'll even go as far as to say this is the worst thai food I've ever had. \n\nService was just okay. The place was deserted and nobody checked to see how our food was until we were pretty much finished. \n\nI won't be returning. Sorry Karen. First, our waiter was very nice. He was very attentive, but I just didn't have the heart to tell him that the food was horrible. We got into the restaurant I ordered a thai iced tea which the tea was light orange and tasted like bad coffee. \n\nWe then ordered spring rolls and chicken satay. The spring rolls only had two shrimp the size of quarters that were both freezer burned. Then the chicken satay was bright red? I usually get chicken satay and it is a tan color like chicken, but this was bright red similar to the color of a red pepper. \n\nWe ordered two main dishes drunken noodle and pad thai. Both literally tasted like horse feed or as my husband said dog food. The shrimp again in the pad thai was freezer burned and I know because I have cooked with shrimp before that was freezer burned. We won't be coming back. We usually go to Siam Thai that is a few blocks west on northern but it was closed so we gave this place a shot. 30 dollars later and wondering if we are gonna be up tonight from food poisoning is not what I call good food. I am so disappointed and worried about the food being served I have a strange urge to have the health department check the place out just to make sure some of the ingredients are fresh!

Restaurent name is: Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill review: Went for a last dinner with the family before heading back to NH in the morning. Usually make at least one pilgrimage to a Swiss Chalet when we are back home and have been to this location before, PY (Pre-Yelp). Not a stellar experience, this time, sadly.\n\nIt was great that the place wasn't too busy. We easily found seating for 8 people. Problems started when the waitress brought drinks. She took two of four big glasses off her tray, then reached across her body to pull out straws. People at far end of the table said they saw the tray lean forward ; a glass of water and one of Pepsi took a dive, as if in slo-mo. Most of the liquids hit the table, floor and seating, but my mother-in-law and I got splattered. The young lady apologized profusely. We were left to find new seating on our own. Again, good thing place wasn't too busy and there were options. \n\nA team of at least four crew members came with cleaning materials. Another server came to our new location, offered an apology. But we had to ask more than once for cutlery and napkins for everyone. No sign of a manager. Ok, we didn't make a fuss. Ordered our meals. \n\nEveryone who had the standard quarter chicken dinners were happy. Burgers were said to be good. One person had a stir fry and was quite pleased. Another had her favorite Tuscan linguine. I opted for spinach and chicken salad. Passable. The chicken breast on top was very dried out. God knows how long it had been sitting under a heat lamp before they found a use for it. They forgot the tortilla strips. Dressing was vaguely similar to the chalet dipping sauce. Our server brought one person a soft drink refill without being asked, but didn't bother with my niece, whose glass was also empty. \n\nWhen the bill finally came, we had hoped that at least a couple meals would have been comped for the earlier incident. Apparently not. My M-I-L will probably have to get her lamb shearling coat professionally cleaned, as some Pepsi dribbled on it. At least my clothes and coat can be washed, so no cost to me. It was just uncomfortable sitting on a damp pant leg. \n\nOur brother-in-law is going to contact the restaurant, talk to a manager and file a complaint. We felt there should have been some sort of recompense, and it's very disappointing that a manager never came forward at the time, assuming one was in the building. Onus shouldn't be on the customer (we understand, accidents happen) or on the staff who don't have full authority to make such decisions. Perhaps we shall stick with takeout next time We order from here often and I swear they always mess up delivery. They always forget something's it's super annoying. The portions so small, a lady who works for cara came to my school to talk to us and I asked why portions so small... obviously price deductions. It's not worth $12 for a 2 bite chicken. Slap of powder mash potato and a sauce. \n\nAgain all cara Operations are the same We order from here often and I swear they always mess up delivery. They always forget something's it's super annoying. The portions so small, a lady who works for cara came to my school to talk to us and I asked why portions so small... obviously price deductions. It's not worth $12 for a 2 bite chicken. Slap of powder mash potato and a sauce. \n\nAgain all cara Operations are \n\nThe staff so unhappy and today they served hot pop to us because ice machine was broke.... why isn't it even cold?? and charged us for it what a joke! We hoped this was similar to Boston Market (from the US), but with a bar, It\'s not. We should have walked out the second we learned there was no drink menu and all they really served was wine & beer. \n\nThe chicken is advertised as rotisserie. That cooking style must mean something different in Canada because when I got was in marinated, unseasoned baked dry chicken. I ordered the dark meat and it was still dry. The special sauce they serve with the chicken is especially disgusting. Don\'t waste your calories. I ordered mashed potatoes and they were powdered... Something was oddly bitter with the gravy. The only way I could swallow the Sahara dessert dry dark meat was to use the gravy as lubricant for my throat. I wanted to cry as this was the worst meal. I barely ate it and the only thing that got me through was to chant aloud, "food is for nourishment, not enjoyment".\n\nMy boyfriend had the beef with mashed potatoes & vegetable. The beef was too peppery for my liking. It was tender and although not well seasoned, palatable to him (when water with the horseradish). He cleaned his plate because he was starving. \n\nHaving dessert was not an option as the meal was so bad, I felt like I am owed an apology from the CEO of Swiss Chalet himself. We ran over to Kelsey\'s immediately after to cleans out palates with cocktails & dessert. We should have started our meal there. I would not recommend wasting a meal, your time or your palate\'s integrity here. And I\'m gonna stand strong and say any of their locations. The food was mediocre. I ordered quarter chicken with 1/2 rack of ribs and poutine as the side. They gave me fries rather than the poutine I wanted but I was fine with it and did not want to ruin quality time with my mom. Our server was nice enough to grab cheese and gravy for my fries. However, while OUR server was nice and sweet, some of the staff were rude. This one lady kept staring at my mom and I and kept whispering to another staff as well. She may not have been talking about us but she might as well have with the looks she gave us. \nHaven't been to Swiss Chalet in years, but was craving some food, didn't know I'd get attitude as well.

Restaurent name is: Wildflower Restaurant & bakery review: Dear Wildflower, what happened?? I've been a fan for a long time, until last night, when a domino effect of bad experiences changed that. I went in during dinner time and you couldn't make the mac and cheese because your alfredo sauce was out, which also meant a lot of the pasta menu was unavailable. I ended up with cheese ravioli in marinara and a french onion soup. However, the cheese ravioli looked different than when I've previously had it it. It used to be soft and delicious, but now it tastes like what you get in the frozen aisle - too-chewy outside and pasty inside, *and* it was served to me partially cold. The french onion soup was also a bowl of limp onions topped with a tiny piece of toast with a tiny piece of cheese melted on it. For $30 for 2 people, I'm disappointed. Maybe it was an off night, who knows, but I won't be returning for a while. Great salads. Nice vibe. Staff was slow today, like I nearly left bc they took so long with 1 customer. Just one register open, and staff milling about. Very perplexing. But I prevailed waited and had my salad. Tonight was my very first visit to Wildflower! The food was absolutely stupendous. The dishes Homestyle Penne Pasta and Wildflower Salad we're out of this world. I had to approach the manager Frank on a wonderful job well done. If you're looking for a fresh salad, amazing pasta, all around artisanal vibes for a great price, please head on down to their Tempe McClintock location. Thank you Frank for the best visit and excellent service. I'll definitely be back. I had a very unpleasant experience at this location today. There was a screaming baby in the restaurant (off and on for at least 20 minutes - mostly on). This was disturbing all of the patrons, and the parents did nothing. When we spoke to the manager, he shrugged and said there was nothing he could do. He was not the least bit understanding or sympathetic. We were not the only ones who spoke to the manager. We didn't expect him to kick them out, but he should have at least gone over to talk to them. My friend and I are parents, and we understand that sometimes children can have outbursts, but it is unreasonable when the behavior is allowed to continue and ruin the experience of others. Our meal was not pleasant, and we agreed that we should probably go elsewhere next time. While the food is an important part of a meal at a restaurant, the overall experience matters. I ordered mac n cheese. It was riddled with peppers. It said a hint and this was red peppers with a hint of mac n cheese...look at the photo...it looks nothing like item. I have had it at another location and it was fine...What a waste. If u want mac n cheese go to the Panera across the street. My stomach still hurts..they should warn you.

Restaurent name is: Jake's Grill and Bar review: Ive been to this place before and never had bad service, me and my family went there Friday night. We walked in they seated us right away on the patio and we sat there waiting for someone to take our order (15 minutes) or say hello and say that they would be with us in a minute. It never happened they seated someone after us and served them right away, 3 servers pasted by us and even one asked the other are you going to take care of them and he said yes. As he walked right past us not acknowledging our existence. Needless to say we got up and left, I say fire your staff and hire some new ones. Update: Ok, so I decided to try this place out again. I was not satisfied.\n\nThe food took FOREVER. (over one hour. For the catfish, and a fish sandwich) Also, Some of these reviews say that the food is so good, I disagree. I didn't like my catfish, or the fries that came with it. I got the garlic fries, but the garlic fries are better at Tailgaters.\n\nAlso, I have to say that they have NO HAPPY HOUR! wts? Why no Happy Hour?! Lame. I maybe, maybe might give them one more shot if they get a good Happy Hour to discount their bad food. I didn't like the fried pickles, though my girlfriend did like them. ( We both like Hooter's pickles better!)\n\nThe one bright spot was our server, he was back to check on us often, even though we didn't have any food yet. \n\nSo untill they get some better deals, I definetly won't be back. Even then, probably not.\n\n-Nik Worst burger ever, they give Tailgator's a run for their money for the dryest burger in town. For one, it's really small compared to the bun they serve it on. It's almost like it came frozen and they throw it on the grill. My friend had the meatball sandwich which was good but they don't put marinara sauce on it, which defeats the purpose of the sandwich. \n\nThe atmospher is kind of wierd, it's just one big room and if you sit in the middle there is no privacy. I feel like I'm eating in a cafeteria. Live and learn, I won't go back. If you can't cook a burger, just like Tailgator's...those places don't deserve business. Having limited dining options in Queen Creek, I was excited to try Jake\'s Bar and Grill after a friend told me it took over the location of Nick & Vittos II. Well, I got that out of the way.\n\nThe restaurant was full, but not overly crowded. The hostess was able to seat us after few a few minutes of cleaning off a table. The server was very friendly as well and arrived promptly. Having recently had the fried pickles at Texas Roadhouse, we ordered them here. They were...different. Rather than sliced pickle chips, these were pickle spears. None the less, I ate them and they were adequate. Nothing extraordinary. \n\nFor drinks my friend ordered a sweet tea. I asked what beers they had on tap and the server mentioned Guinness and Kilt Lifter - which made me recall another restaurant had a combination of those called the Guilt Lifter (kind of like a black & tan). I asked if he could do that and he said yes - he believed it was called a black & blue at Jakes. Looking back, that was the highlight of the meal. The tea tasted like instant Nestea I would have made back in 1982.\n\nNik F. wrote that the food took forever to arrive. I will say that despite the busy Friday night, our food arrived quickly and the service was generally very good. \n\nThe friend ordered a pasta with chicken in a basil cream sauce and I went with the buffalo burger. The pasta came with a salad - which was just a typical salad with some croutons and lettuce. My friend didn\'t eat it because the lettuce was brown and didn\'t look good. The entrees arrived and again we were met with disappointment. The basil cream sauce on the pasta was very runny and didn\'t have any flavor. I wouldn\'t have know there was basil unless I read it on the menu. When the server handed me my plate she asked if I had every had it before. No, I said. "You\'re in for a treat" was the promise. Apparently the bar is law. The bigger was large, I will say that. It had lettuce, onions, tomato on the burger. The burger was odd too - it was breaded and fried giving it a second layer. It was dipped in wing sauce and topped with a drizzle of what I presume was blue cheesy. It was still really pink in the middle - I like medium, but this was maybe medium-rare and it was very sloppy. Just cutting the burger in half I was met with a lot of juice, grease, and sauce. I ate half it is and that was plenty. The sweet potato fries that I chose as my side were okay, but tasted frozen. \n\nI overheard the table next to me state their pizza was very good. I am glad they enjoyed it because the burger I had and the pasta I tasted wasn\'t anything to write home about. It tasted as if I opened a restaurant. I was initially happy to see a newer restaurant in the area, but if tonight is any indication, I don\'t think they will be around long-term. Note to owner! Customer service and good food creates success. When you are there you should be walking around talking to people not sitting in a corner. Also seeing our waitress every 30 minutes when she has 3 tables is not good. Some food is good some is bad. Your menu is as big as the Cheesecake Factories so that would explain the Microwave bacon on a BLT. Bad! If you want better success than the former Nick n Vitos then limit your menu, better quality food, offer a happy hour and get more friendly!\n\nWe are starving for a good quality restaurant around this area. The positive here is quality beer (new Belgium, four peaks) is $5 for a 22oz glass. Go here for the beer is about it.

Restaurent name is: Ramen Kobo+Sake review: Whenever a new ramen shop opens up in Vegas, you just go, even if its 108F outside! When we heard news that Ramen Kobo opened a location on Spring Mountain and was offering their signature "Stamina Ramen" for $3 we immediately jumped at the opportunity! They probably named it "Stamina Ramen" because you needed stamina to keep slurping your bowl to a finish. I ordered the spicy miso and was instantly greeted with yummy heat that scorched my taste buds into little minions--it\'s a good thing! The restaurant is nicely appointed and well-spaced for a ramen shop. At the time of our visit, Ramen Kobo is only offering their signature ramen due to the sheer volume of people cramming into the place for their ramen fix. But if people lining up is a tell tale of a good spot, it surely is: the ramen broth is deliciously savory (which you can kick up a notch with various spice heat levels, the in-house noodles are perfectly chewy, green onions plus bamboo shoots are generously portioned and the pork chasu is satisfying. My only small complaint was the almost hard-boiled nitamago--I prefer mine on the softer boiled side. Perhaps when the place is finally able to cope with the patrons, they\'ll settle down and make things even better. We can\'t wait to try everything else in their menu once the place is fully operational, especially the Izakaya portion of it, I\'ll update my review then to reflect it. Their ramen is a fucking joke.\n\nI won\'t dispense with the formalities and the usual format. Even if you have the words "spicy ramen" right below your "Ramen Kobo" name, when you have three heat options that are stronger than your so-called mild, you can\'t load it up so much with chili oil that it ends up being a 5 out of 10 (Thai scale) Yes, you warned each of us about the heat, but you shouldn\'t have to do so for something labeled as mild. You can hardly taste anything else in the broth when you turn up the heat, so why would you make such a strange spicy scale?\n\nThat is, unless you\'re desperately trying to cover up for other flaws. When I returned to try the same Stamina Tonkotsu ($8.95) as "Original" (non-spicy), I was not very pleased. Sure, the broth was creamy, but it was lacking in depth. And then they immediately failed the usual criteria when the noodles came out tasting unbelievably bland. Did they forget to salt the boiling liquid or something?\n\nThe standard ramen toppings are fine, I guess, but they don\'t stand out. It\'s not like even foie gras, caviar, and saffron would save the ramen at this point, so why should I bother describing them?\n\nFrankly, the izakaya items have some nice options and I would probably have not been so harsh with this review had their name not been Ramen Kobo. I enjoyed all of the following:\n\nTakoyaki ($6.95, 7 pieces). This is one of the better options in town, with perhaps lack of mayo actually being the only downfall if you go by my friend\'s experience with eating this dish.\n\nTakowasa ($4.50). Restrained wasabi flavor coating fresh, raw octopus pieces. Almost something you\'d expect at Hachi or another dedicated izakaya.\n\nKaraage ($4.95). Juicy and crispy. I liked it despite it being rather greasy and a touch too salty.\n\nKonbu Umami Tofu ($3.95). Soft tofu. The sauce spoke to me, although it started to screech when I took a sip and got way too much salt. If I hadn\'t had a bite with less sauce, I would be completely turned off from reordering it.\n\nI was not impressed with the other izakaya though. They had varying degrees of flaws:\n\nChashu Pork Buns ($5, 2 pc). The ramen-sliced pork were too thin. The buns were a little overdone. It tasted fine, but nothing with those components or the sauce made this a flavor standout.\n\nFrench Fries ($3.50). Small portion, but I would\'ve still approved had they been fluffy rather than mushy inside.\n\nShrimp Shumai ($4.95, 3 pc). Too mushy and accompanied by a dense-in-flavor mustard sauce. Take too large a portion and you\'ll be out for the rest of the meal.\n\nIkayaki ($6.50). The worst offender of all. The squid was almost completely devoid of flavor aside from for the grill marks. Had they added any sort of salt - seriously, this issue again? - the portion and the texture would\'ve likely made it one of the best apps here.\n\nService and kitchen speed were both good, but what\'s the point of getting your food quickly if half of it isn\'t worth eating?\n\nThey should know better if this is really the second Ramen Kobo and the same ownership as Monta, but this is the worst ramen restaurant in Las Vegas other than Ichiddo, and I\'ve tried most of them. I should also note that Las Vegas is a worse ramen scene than SoCal and I don\'t even have any bowls under my belt from Japan, so take this as a scathing critique of the worst of the worst and don\'t come here unless you really want to try some octopus. I love their grand opening promotions! I get to try alll of them. I personally LOVED the miso one, the taste are in great harmony. So even if it goes back to original price I would only pick the miso ramen. The least favorite is veggie ramen. Don't get me wrong, I love my veggies, it's just that the veggie soup base is suppose to be light in flavor. But they added oily greasy fried onions to the soup . That just doesn't go together. I think there could be other ways to enhance the flavor instead of fried onions. So the veggie ramen is what they need to work on to find the harmony in taste. Other than that, miso will be the top hit of this place. Broth was very sweet to me and I didn't find nothing special about this place... sorry, but I will choose to go to other restaurant next time... disappointing when comparing this there S.Durango location...Good service but food was below what we have come to expect from this group

Restaurent name is: Celas's Pizza review: Got into Phoenix late and wanted to order something to be delivered. Found this place nearby the resort and decided to try it. \n\nFood - I ordered the carne asada fries, chicken wings hot, and a pretzel. It was plenty of food and most went in the fridge to eat as a late night snack the next day. The carne asada fries were delicious with little cubed steak, sour cream, cheese, jalapeno and pico de gallo. This hit the spot. The wings were alright. Extra crispy wings were a little light on meat, but the wing sauce had a slow burn and wasn't bad. The pretzel was good dough topped with parmesan cheese.\n\nDelivery - It was delivered fairly quickly. He did have issues with the credit card machine, but was able to get it fixed.\n\nOverall Recommendation - I would say yes to ordering again. Their pizzas probably are good by the taste of their dough for the pretzels. Not a bad price for the quality and quantity of food. Fast delivery and good food for a fair price. It was a Great experience. I ordered the wings and a meatball sub. The wings came with enough sauce that it was finger licking good with each bite. The meatball sub reminded me of the subs I used to get back east. Came to pick up my order and was going to use the first time purchase 15% off deal and they said its only good with online purchases. It would be a good idea to explain that on their offer. When I was going to pay for my order the lady at the register said the delivery person took their card reader and I had to wait for the worker to return in order to pay with my card. This is very poor service in my opinion. They should not advertise on their door they accept cards, if their card reader is not availble at the restaurant. Was very dissatisfied with my first time experience here. I ordered the Italian sandwich and it was not what I expected at all. It says there's salami but it's more like bologna. Nothing about this sandwich was Italian. The bread was amazing though. Ordered the taco pizza and the cheese bread. \n\nThe cheese bread was awesome, like really really good. Very fluffy, cooked well and had a ton of cheese. \n\nThe staff was super nice and the food was pretty cheap. \n\nThis is where the good review ends. \n\nThe taco pizza was super soggy and gross, my girlfriend and I ate a slice each and decided we couldn't eat another. We are college students and literally couldn't bring ourselves to eat 2 slices the pizza was so bad.

Restaurent name is: Pita House review: Ended up here after craving a pita. Very friendly staff and delicious food. I had the beef shawarma and my husband had the chicken kafta. Both had us licking our fingers. Very good. My review is slightly biased, because I lived with someone from Lebanon for 6 years. I have been to Pita House twice. Both times I've had Shawarma. Pita House does an okay job at it. The meat is slightly under-seasoned for my taste. The Shawarma I've had at other places (and at home) has had some sort of Tahini sauce but Pita House just adds plan Tahini paste, which makes the dish a little underwhelming. The Shawarma plate comes with a side of fries and a salad, which are both pretty tasty. The prices are decent.. I kind of wish they were slightly cheaper for lunch, but they're ok. A Shawarma plate costs around $9-10.\n\nThis place is pretty fast food-ish, so not much to write about. If you've never had authentic Mediterranean food, then you'll probably fall in love. For me, it's just okay. I will return I'm sure, because it's across the street from my job. We first came here the night that I moved into my apartment-my 2nd night in Vegas. We ordered a side of hummus and pita wedges. My mom ordered the beef and chicken kafta, my dad ordered a regular gyro and I ordered a deconstructed gyro. All meals come with a salad (the fattoush) and fries or rice. \n\nThe hummus was amazing-definitely homemade. The pita wedges were warm and also tasted homemade. Yum!!\n\nI tried the kafta and they were ok-not what i would normally eat but my mom loved it. It came with a really good garlic sauce. My deconstructed gyro was really good. The meat was tender and the tzatziki sauce was excellent!\n\nMy favorite part of the meal was the side salad-I made sure to ask then what it was before I left. It has lettuce, cucumber, green peppers, tomatoes and pita crisps topped with what tastes like lemon juice and olive oil. \n\nI've come back here numerous times now since it's so close to my apartment. The staff are always really nice and helpful. My favorite here is still the fattoush-which I now order every time. I tried the lamb kabobs the last time and they were cooked perfectly! Another new favorite! I loved the Pita House at first bite. When you taste all fresh food compared to processed, it's hard to go back. They make amazing Mediterranean and Lebanese food every day, from scratch, absolutely nothing canned. \n\nThe atmosphere is new, simple, with a touch of elegance, as the floors are handmade tile and the counters marble and granite. The area is clean and well lit.\nI love all their kabobs, especially the beef kabob platter. The hummus is extraordinary.\n\nI am the founder and lead writer for Las Vegas Top Picks, which showcases great stuff around Vegas. I put Pita House on my website. http://lasvegastoppicks.com/pita-house-mediterranean-grill/\n\nI've known the owner, Charlie, for almost a year, from Roy's Liquor Store in Summerlin. I've heard many times about his passion for cooking, and remember when he was preparing the Pita House to open. He put a lot of love in every aspect--the design, the staff, the food, the oven, every little detail. Charlie told me he wanted to create a restaurant that on any given day, his family and friends from Lebanon could walk in and get fresh, authentic, delicious food.\n\nFrom all that I've heard--and tasted--he's succeeded. I met the staff there too. They care about the food they create. This is not a day job for them, it's a livelihood and their life work. These are the kinds of restaurants I love.\n\nThe only drawback is I live on the other side of town, near Red Rock Casino. If I lived closer to Pita House, I would eat here at least three times a week, since it's so fresh and affordable.\n\nPlease give Pita House a try and let me know. Your taste buds will thank me! Good food and the lady at the counter was super sweet. Definitely want to eat there again before I go home.

Restaurent name is: Canyon Ranch Cafe review: UPDATE: They no longer have sweet potato waffles or free coffee refills. After reading reviews and advice on how to find this place, we did find it but it was a real let down. It is a small area between the halls of Venetian the hotel room and the spa. Reminds me more of something you'd find in an airport than a Vegas spa. The food was fine, but not worth the effort. This is for the cafe. The wraps are overpriced for something that can finished in 3 bites. Ugh! Wish I knew!! The only thing that's worth the $12 is the burger and breakfast sandwich. Not worth the money n the journey to find breakfast food. Don't waste your time or money on this place. Message was good. I was there with my cousins and was paying for everything and they completely forgot about me in the resting area. They had already finished they're pedicures and quite frankly could care less.\nI am in Vegas quite often and I would NEVER go back. Best breakfast I've had om Vegas. My family and I went here two mornings in a row. They make delicious healthy food for a fair price. Especially compared to the sizes of the portions you get. The place also works great as a quite getaway from the otherwise very loud Vegas. Most definitely recommend this place!! I saw this place on my way to the pool to the Palazzo and after checking out the menu I decided I just had to try it. \n\nI had the Caribbean French toast which was whole wheat brioche bread topped with fresh banana slices and diced pineapple. Yummm! It was everything I wanted + more. \n\nMy sister had their Healthy Elvis which was also a whole wheat brioche with peanut butter and grilled bananas. I didn't try it but she loved it. \n\nThe prices weren't so bad and the location was so convenient. How often do you get to enjoy french toast by the pool?

Restaurent name is: Panda Express review: I have only been to Panda Express once before and had a bad experience at a different location. I needed something quick for lunch and decided to give it another try. The guy who helped me, Nathaniel, was extremely kind and had great customer service skills. I don't like when I walk into a place and the people are miserable. He greeted me when I first walked in and it was just a great experience overall. Panda Express is a great place to eat and a nice alternative to typical "fast" food. The entree\'s here are consistently rated the best healthy alternative to eat from publications such as Men\'s Health magazine. They use only fresh vegetables cut daily and high quality meats. None of the meals are served with MSG. \n\nThis is a very nice location. The restaurant is kept very clean. The ladies behind the counter are friendly. They move customers quickly and efficiently through the line. \n\nI have only been to a couple of Panda Expresses in town and by no means an expert but based on what I have seen I think the portions here are very large. I recommend asking for the"to go"plate even if you are eating in. The "to go" portion does appear to be a little larger than the "eating in" plate.\n\nI like the Black Pepper Chicken and the Mango Chicken with Fried Rice. Love this location! We are regulars here. The staff is great! Food tastes good. Kids meals are $5. Healthy. Highly recommended. WORST Panda Express I have ever been to. I wanted teriyaki chicken but the chicken they had did not look edible at all. It was a pale brown so I asked if I could get fresh chicken. The girl said it was fine that it would take about 7-10 minutes. I waited 20 minutes for my food my mother was done with her food by the time I got my teriyaki chicken. And while I was waiting they ran basically out of everything that the line was out the door from just waiting for food to be ready. And to top it off they were giving people who ordered after me teriyaki chicken before me! Do not recommended to come during busy hours! Didn\'t give me the drinks I ordered through Uber Eats or the condiments I asked for. The UE driver told me that the employees told him they didn\'t have any of the drink available. Tried to ask for what I paid for in the actual restaurant, but was given a hard time by the cashier about it. She kept saying she couldn\'t give me a refund, when I never asked for a refund, just the drinks that I paid for. There was supposedly no manager available to speak to. She gave me the drink in the end, but continued to give me a hard time about it, saying that getting the drink was technically a "refund." Please train your employees better in approaching situations like this. She gave me my change and receipt very rudely, however, I was kind enough to wish her a good day.

Restaurent name is: Penn Station East Coast Subs review: Here are the upsides to this sub joint. One, there is a nice variety of sub offerings, all of which are made to order and can be customized. I had the standard cheesesteak, which really surprised me (in a good way). And we also ordered the club. Even better, they have a few vegetarian offerings. Okay, there's only two (artichoke and grilled veggies) but that is two more options than most other places.\n\nSecond, there are multiple size offerings, starting at 4 inches (for around $4.69). I know, I know, size matters. Sometimes, however, you don't want to order a gut-buster, and it's nice to have these options.\n\nLastly, the fries are freshly cut and very tasty.\n\nEveryone wants to compare Penn Station to Quizno's. Well, I've never been a huge fan of Quizno's. I am a big fan of this place, though, and look forward to eating here again. That'll probably be with my next oil change @ Pep Boys. I went there a few weeks ago had a veggi it was great..went back yesterday it was terrible got home it was soggy filled with oinons mooosh sandwich I live 8miles away they wanted me to save the sandwich and bring it back for investigation..I threw it away never going back. I've been here a couple of times and it's always really good. I always get the grilled club and I am never ever disappointed. Ingredients are obviously very fresh. I get fries occasionally and they're always hot, fresh, and delicious. Staff and service is quick, attentive, and extremely friendly. The only downside is that they're pretty expensive in my opinion, which is the only reason why I don't come too often. And if I do, I usually just settle for a sub since everything else is pricey. But the taste and quality of food is very good. Stopped by while waiting for my car to be serviced across the street at Pep Boys. Excellent service, friendly and helpful. I ordered a 6" Ruben, with fries which was not fatty, had good flavor, hot, and the fries perfectly crispy. Would definitely stop by again. I can\'t imagine eating a much larger sandwich, just this was really filling! I\'ve passed this place several times and have been meaning to go in and check it out.. Didn\'t get the chance to, until an out of town friend came to visit and we were looking for a local place to grab a quick lunch. The service was great - very friendly staff, and the food was excellent as well - I got the 10" chicken cordon bleu sandwich, my friend got the 10" reuben, and we got a medium fry to split. After half a sandwich, we were both full, and wrapped our sandwiches to go. Later in the day we pulled them out of the fridge and stuck them in the oven to warm up for another meal - they were so good, possibly even better than the first halves. I would definitely recommend this place for a delicious sandwich.

Restaurent name is: Evergreen Thai review: Very nice staff and home made cooking. Fresh ingredients and nicely spiced meals. Remains an on-the-go place but that's really worth it. Prices may be a little bit high for the portion sizes, but I would definitvely go back there, for a take-out lunch. I think this is probably the cheapest thai in the Yonge & Dundas area - fast service but as noted by previous reviewers spicy is not really spicy. My friend ordered mango rice with chicken - small slivers of chicken (looked like thin pieces of bulgogi) and I had the pad thai. \n\nRestaurant was not very busy on a Thursday night - there was only one other table of 2 when I went. I am basing my review of this place pre and post - renovation which was made a few months ago in winter 2017.\n\nEnvironment 3/5\nA few months ago during the late winter/early spring, it was closed for renovation. The flooring and walls seems to be cleaner but overall, it still has the out-dated 90's look of Asian restaurants aka no style. I don't mind the tacky aesthetic interior if only the food was decent... \n\nQuality of Food 2/5\nI only order one item, their chicken pad thai. Pre-renovation, this dish was popular where it looked and tasted great. Post-renovation, nothing at all like before. The quality has definitely gone down. The dish has bland-colour and had very little chicken pieces. Lots of noodles but there were very little flavour in the sauce (food colouring? or diluting the sauce?). The chicken pieces I did find were thinly sliced and flavour-less (most likely frozen). The lime slice was bruised and almost rotten where I immediately brushed it off from the pad thai for fear of contamination.\n\nService 2/5\nThe restaurant was under staffed when I and current staff seem to be new. Perhaps, the original owners sold it to a new family while renovating because I noticed there wasn't a lunch crowd. This place used to be very busy and attentive staff but ever since the renovation (and new owners?), the service and lunch crowd has been depleted. \n\nOverall 2/5\nI will not be coming back here and judging by the lack of customers, it may close within the year. I will be taking my pad thai cravings back to Salad King!\n\nThe restaurant's size is large. I hope a new authentic Japanese restaurant will take its place since Dundas St W is unofficially becoming J-town. ^_~ I've been here twice in the past year - it's relatively inexpensive, but won't win any awards for presentation. Decor is exactly what you'd expect for a low-cost Asian place, and the server, while well-intentioned, was absolutely clueless. She consistently forgot our orders, had zero recollection of whose bill was whose (even after the third time she came back to re-print them), and despite two attempts, still entered errors onto everyone's receipt.\n\nPortion sizes are about par for the course and quality is similarly middling. Beer is relatively cheap, though all bottled. Got the red curry with chicken and rice. It was good but not authentic Thai food. I would still come back though for a quick bite if I'm in the area but wouldn't purposely make the trip downtown for it

Restaurent name is: Tacos Tijuana review: Great street tacos. Loved the homemade corn tortillas. Good salsa as well. Nice quick meal for a reasonable price. Had driven past here several times and decided to finally stop. wasn't disappointed. Will be back for sure! I'm really bummed I loved this place and came here a least once a week but the service has gotten so bad I won't be coming back. I stood in line for 15min while the guy taking the orders counted his tip jar. The time before that waited 45min just.to get the wrong order and have to wait another 20min. Bummer Drove in by chance and absolutely DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Very tasty and fresh. We will be back!!! Good food, but the tacos have shrunk in size since the first time I came when they first opened. This place is amazing! Amazing customer service and the food is authentic Mexican food. I have tried everything in the menu and everything is delicious. Let's keep supporting small businesses!

Restaurent name is: Tony's Pizza- Ballantyne review: Tony\'s Pizza just isn\'t very good. I\'m sorry to dissent from the positive reviews and I suppose it\'s possible we just happened to go on an atypically unimpressive day, but we found our visit to be a real disappointment. My husband ordered the sausage and peppers sandwich and it had absolutely nothing going for it; there wasn\'t even cheese (bizarre). Just the appearance of it would be enough to send anyone who likes sausage and peppers sandwiches into a deep depression. He ended up just forgetting about it and we picked him up a different meal on the way home. We ordered the chicken strips and fries for our toddler and they gave us half the number of strips that is listed in the description and simply explained that they ran out of them yet still charged us for the full order (weird). It was frankly as if the staff was aware that the place was mediocre and had utterly given up even the pretense of customer service. When we arrived, we were the only patrons there yet when our food was ready, it wasn\'t brought to our table. Someone barked and so my husband went and picked it up. It was just an oddly missed opportunity to do the obvious thing and bring the food the 20 feet between kitchen and table. I had pizza and it was fine but unremarkable. If someone wanted to pick up a pie to bring home, I wouldn\'t try to persuade them not to. If they wanted to eat there or order that "sandwich", I would offer to help them find a better lunch/dinner option. Hello Friends,\n\nShort and sweet. Once I caught the eyes in the young lady at the counter that was taking pictures of herself I ordered 1 slice on pizza. Once I got it I did my fold test... It failed. In fact it cracked. Huh?? Yes.. Cracked. Pizza came out piping hot though so that\'s a plus. May try them again, if so I\'ll update my review. But if not, I can always think back to the crunchy crust "Ny pizza" I had. \n\nI\'m pretty greedy guy so the 3 plate slice of crunchy pizza was well worth the 3 bucks. Don\'t mind that at all. \n\nTTFN Place was empty Saturday at 5:30, that was odd. The place was nice and clean. The guys behind the counter need some work on their customer service. No one said hello, he just stared at me. The first guy I talked to I am pretty sure he couldn\'t speak English so motioned for someone else. The guy who did help seemed uninterested. When my pizza was ready I barely heard him say "large cheese". He put it up on counter and walked away, no thanks or come back. \nThe pizza was good, NY style but you need to ask for well done to make it better. I did. And they didn\'t, but it was still ok. Just came back from NYC and the kids said it was close enough. We will probably go back when going by that way but won\'t make a special trip. Yeahhh, this is the last place in Ballantyne I would go for pizza not horrible but is just above takeout pizza from the grocery store. I love this place!! Truly the best pizza in South Charlotte, hands down. It reminds me of NY pizza and the slices are huge! When I bring my son pizza to school this is my preferred place to get it because he loves pizza and the slice is delicious and large. They have all the awesomeness to sprinkle on your pizza like garlic powder, parmesan, chili flakes, seasoning and the staff in there is super nice and they make you feel like they are truly grateful that you've patronized their establishment. I have also had their cheesesteak and fries and the cheesesteak was so darn good that I'll pardon them on the fries that may have been in slight need of new fry oil. If I ever have a hankering for pizza and subs, I'll bypass the pizza place in walking distance of my home and drive the few miles up the street to Tony's.\nThe place has plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, a usable and clean bathroom and a great menu selection. They even have daily specials for cash paying customers. Sorry credit card folks. I'm not sure if I'll venture off the pizza and cheesesteak path but if I do, I'll surely add it to my review. Not much else to say so stop reading and go get some pizza and a cheesesteak and then enjoy your food coma while it lasts.\n\nThat is all!

Restaurent name is: Lamb Kebab - Savory Chinese Crepes review: Was casually just browsing yelp while I was on the streetcar when I came across this stand. Intrigued by the positive reviews I decided to give this stand a try. The woman who took my order spoke absolutely no English. Despite the language barrier she still communicated well through lots of pointing. \n\nDecided to order the savoury crepe with ham. Crepe was prepared in front of me. It was made quickly with a great amount of finesse. Definitely a good crepe but .5 star because of the lack of ham. Overall 4.5/5. Yummy, affordable and crispy Chinese crepes. They can only make 2 at a time though so lines/waits can be long. Get your jian bing fix on. Just trying to decide if I prefer them for lunch, breakfast, or late night snack I used to love this place, but as a previous review mentioned it's gone downhill after the change of ownership. Bought a crepe as a late snack (so I wasn't that hungry tbh) and had to throw it out because it tasted so bad. The lady making the crepe also used the same hand she touched money with to bag the crepe. Gross. The Jianbing here is absolutely delightful. It had just the right amount of sweet and spicy sauce. The crunch from the lettuce and crispy cracker was a great contrast to the soft and chewy crepe. You can't beat that for the price. Too bad I live in NYC. There are a few places that have it but it's triple the cost. I might have to find my way back to Toronto soon just for my Jianbing fix. 5 stars.

Restaurent name is: Blinky's Noble Grill & Bar review: I had my first experience here recently and had a great time! Ordered wings and then an appetizer sampler to go along with a few brews while waiting. The service was enjoyable and friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. The only minor criticism would have to be the platter, I expected the batter in which everything was fried to have more flavor but sadly, it was bland. There wasn't much seasoning on any of the platter and the marinara tasted cheap and bland as well. The lack of flavor in the batter made it impossible to enjoy or really eat most of the platter but, I'd try it again in hopes that it will improve. Will definitely return to try more of the menu! This place doesn't look like much but it's cozy inside. Large menu with daily lunch specials. The food comes quickly and the staff is friendly. Moved here 3 years ago and finally decided to try out Blinky's with my father. I heard great things about the fish sandwich. Too bad the service was so horrible that after waiting for 45 minutes AFTER our food order was placed we still had no food. After inquiring a few times about our food the young waitress confirmed that our food hadn't even been started!!! I asked for the check for our beers and I wanted to talk to the manager. Even though the bar wasn't nearly that busy, the manager was too busy to come and talk... My dad wanted the $7.50 for 2 beers comped, but instead we payed and left, NEVER to return. We went down the road to a place I frequent and should have just went there from the start... Thanks for confirming that your service is very lacking Blinky's! I gave you a chance but won't ever try Blinky's again. Was in town for a few days and thoughts I'd pop in for a few beers. Less than 10 people at the bar and you would have thought it was a packed house given the lack of service. After I waited about 10 minutes the bartender decided she would finally get to me. Sadly, on delivery she hit me with the amount of the beer instead on trying to set me up with a tab. Maybe she just hates guys, I don't know, but I won't be back to this joint again. In the service industry the absence of being friendly is a costly attribute... Overall this place is the definition of "Just okay". The food is actually pretty cheap and on the whole is not that bad, toss in free popcorn and there are worse places to eat when you want bar food. The wings are my favorite thing to get but they are only good (I.e. Not dry and overcooked) about half of the time so it\'s a toss up whether or not you will enjoy them.\n\nThe real draw back is the service. The waitresses are uninterested at best and downright rude at worst. They always seem like it is an inconvenience that you are there. One time a waitress just stared at us with a scowl on her face from the other room because we had sat down at a table with a group of friends on a Saturday night (at like midnight) and so she couldn\'t leave as long as someone was sitting at a table. We weren\'t there to eat, the kitchen was closed, and we found out that she didn\'t have to stay at all after all so she was rude to us for no reason.\n\nThe service is bad, the food is okay, avoid if you can,

Restaurent name is: Kickers Smoked Meat & Deli review: A taste of Montreal. I am a bit of a smoked meat snob having spent considerable time finding just the right deli in Montreal for an exceptional sandwich and am a fan of La bi\xc3\xa8re St-Ambroise. Imagine how thrilled I am to find both 2 minutes from my office. I tried the traditional Montreal smoked this time but will be back for the smoked turkey, cranberries and brie sandwich soon. I was originally brought to Kickers via a co-worker. What a great little find.\n\nThis is a small place. It\'s really what you would think of is someone called it a "Nook". Although it does have huge windows which let in a ton of natural light, so it\'s not a dungeon or dark. There is seating for approx 20-25, although I\'ve never stayed (only take-out). The Order counter is at the back and along the way they done a great job of getting some really wonderful local art work to display. \n\nThe menu is simple and mainly limited to Smoked Meat Sandwiches or other deli type sandwiches (ie: Reuben). They have fries and other sides, but again its fairly limited selection. \n\nDon\'t let the limited selection deter you. This place serves up an awesome smoked meat sandwich. Definitely try the house mustard as well, the paring is great ! If you are feeling hungry order the fries as well. The fries are baked and not deep fried. They come out hot and crispy. Definitely one of the better french fries you can have. Even doing take-out and walking 2 blocks back to the office, the fries were still hot and crispy. \n\nThe staff were very friendly and explained things very well. I\'ll definitely be back to have another one of those awesome smoked meat sandwiches. Dropped in at Kickers yesterday for lunch and was very pleased with the service, and quality of food! I was also on a deadline, so needed to be quick, and the food came out fast, hot, and delicious! The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was great. Sat at the window and watched the people passing by on 1st. SW. A damn good Smoked Meat Sandwich, and Soup! Rolled in around 2 pm on Friday after the lunch hour rush. Tom, the proprietor, was there and greeted me with a friendly intro to the various meats (smoked brisket, turkey, salmon) and made suggestions on food and beer. I settled on a Reuben, which was somewhat unusual (smoked turkey, cranberry, cheese: toasted). It was a solid, tasty sandwich. I wanted to try the beef and Tom obliged bestowing a free sample of some brisket, home-made mustard, and a pickle. \nAlso had a nice chat with Tom about his travels, the chandelier and history of the building housing the smokehouse, and the recent Calgary floods. \nThe spot seems to have a good mix of local regulars and tourists (eg from a nearby hotel arts). \nGreat local lunch spot. Wouldn't hesitate to drop by again. The sandwiches contain a generous amount of smoked meat, which is served on warm bread with a good house mustard. The flavour and texture of the sandwich was really good, but the coleslaw I had as a side was entirely flavourless. The sandwiches are the only thing made in site; all of the sides come from a tub.\n\nAlthough I was pleased with the sandwich, the price is rather high for what you get, and the bland, prepackaged sides are disappointing.

Restaurent name is: The Egg I Am review: My wife and I went there for the first time this morning. She ordered the Mushroom Hash and enjoyed it; I ordered a Mediterranean Frittata which was quite tasteless; upon paying for the meal, I suggested to the hostess that they add Greek olives or something to give it flavor... the owner went to the kitchen and came back to tell me that the eggwhites make it tasteless... she could have said thank your to your suggestion; but instead defended her chef and the food... like I want to go back to get argued with? not!\n\nI'm glad I didn't tell them that it was over cooked to the point of being rubbery and that the use of precooked frozen chicken bits adds a cardboard taste... if the chef defended that preparation of bland stuff; he/she has never experienced the flavors of the Mediterranean.\n\nI would have given it less a rating but she only made me mad enough to not go back... and my wife seemed to be ok with her food Breakfast is wonderful ! Our first time here loved it as we walked in the door. & was welcomed by the owner Robin . I had chile relleno & eggs YUMMY. My man went for the healthy breakfast oatmeal w fruit which was really good . We are coming back to check out the lunch menu . We are hooked. . Had a nice breakfast, I tried the Mexican Omelette and it was very good. I recommend getting the salsa on the side as my omelette had a lot of salsa on it. They had fresh squeezed lemonade which was really good as well. If you need to get some breakfast this place was great since it's in a nice location. Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff! Would recommend it if you're nearby. The manager is rude no only to customers but to her employees as well! Save yourself the money and make breakfast at home!!!

Restaurent name is: Cafe Via Crescent review: Open, airy, and sunny, Via is a good place to stop off and eat as you recharge on a day off in downtown Montreal. It's kind of like a cafe vs. bistro, but there are a few secret weapons on the menu that align it more with a real restaurant. \n\nFood is light, inexpensive, and very tasty. Coffee is amazing. \n\nBeware of the corporate douches that crowd the place at lunch on weekdays though. You've never seen so many shitty suits from Le Chateau paired with Aldo shoes and Kenneth Cole watches. Caf\xc3\xa9 Via Crescent is my go-to spot for sublime, fresh, taste explosive and healthy Italian food. Don't look for baked ziti here or 20 different pizzas; this isn't what this place is about. Most of my best authentic Italian food experiences have been at Via. Brined pork chops on a bed of greens, rabbit with a carrot and celery stew, a fried Mortadella sandwich, egg plant and even the ubiquitous Spaghetti Alla Carbonara are all amazing dishes. \n\nOne in a while we order the Antipasto and they just take it to another level. The prosciutto is easily the best I've ever had, not to salty, not to stiff; parmesan chunks with balsamic vinegar, Insalata Caprese, spicy egg plant... critical mass of Italian country food deliciousness. There's also the ultimate Italian dessert, the cannoli. The owner's sister (If I got the story right) owns an Italian bakery so all the desserts at the restaurant come from that bakery and are fist-biting delicious.\n\nThe service is always rapid, polite and very friendly (and sometimes drop dead sexy). The have a lovely terrace looking over Crescent Street. From Wednesday to Friday they have lunch specials and in all seriousness I've seen the menu only once, the rest of the time I take the specials because they are MIND-BLOWING. Try to show up a bit before noon because the place gets packed fast and stays packed until late afternoon. The prices are very acceptable, considering the very rich clientele I keep seeing there.\n\nThis one obviously gets a high 5 outta 5. I could eat there everyday and never get bored. Beware of the coma you will have at work following the lunch. I'm feeling it right now. Good Food and authentic cuisine. 1 star docked because we wanted to modify the food and we were told "the chef does not allow that." We wanted one sauce with a different pasta. The change is allowed on some pastas and not others. Not customer friendly in that regard. The anitipasto was great and meats were good quality. The bread was good too. The food was okay but I am not sure I would come back unless this was a place of last resort. The whole customer service thing really bothered. But good food. I went to Cafe Via Crescent with friends for an impromptu lunch in august. It was a lovely hot summer day so we chose to sit on their beautiful patio. The food was amazing! No complaints from any of us. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. It was an all around great experience at a moderately priced Italian restaurant. Service was slow. Ordered seafood platter; some cold, some raw. Sent back and they just reheated the plates. Not good value.

Restaurent name is: Chipotle Mexican Grill review: Just wanted to say again how much I love this location. The employees here are THE best! So friendly and attentive. You can tell they are managed by good people! I am 100% disgusted at what was in my burrito bowl! As I was almost done with my bowl I came across this nasty bug moving around! I don't even know if there were more because I was so grossed out I threw it out!! Will not be back to this location. Service is usually quick and the food is always predictably good. I stopped on Saturday Night. I placed a to go order for queso, chips, some drinks, and a barbacoa quesadilla. So the food was good, typical Chipotle, but honestly this review is about the staff. The staff was the sweetest, most polite, attentive, and thoughtful group of young kids I have ran into in awhile. The place was spotless. They offered me water while I waited for the quesadilla. They said pleases, thank yous, your welcomes, yes mam... LOL I have a 19yr old... it just made me smile... good job kids. I've eaten at Chipotle about 26,327 times in my life, so it's no surprise no matter which location you choose. This Gainey Ranch location is quite roomy, which is good, because this neighborhood is quite sparse on good lunch spots even though a growing number of people work in the area.\n\nIf you're going to lunch at this location, you have to get there before 11:06. If you get there after, prepare to be standing out the door, pissing away your lunch break and sweating to death. This happens every day. From my office I can see the entrance. \n\nDepending on who dishes up your food, you'll get a good-sized portion. They seem to load up chicken burritos to full capacity, but skimp a bit on the barbacoa and carnitas. You've been warned!

Restaurent name is: Hummus Hummus review: I've been here several times and the service is kind of hit and miss. One server asked if our table of 4 was ready to order 5 minutes after we sat down and then told us we could not split the bill at the end. The hours are kind of inconvenient as well (Closing very early Fridays and closed Saturdays).\n\nHowever the food is really good. If you're craving shwarma this is one of the best in the area. The entrees come with a side of fries and/or house salad, both of which are super delicious. The fries are really crispy and the house salad comes with an amazing vinaigrette dressing. The portions are also fairly large and I always leave feeling stuffed.\n\nDefinitely worth the try if you're in the area. No surprises here. 1 server for the entire room and we've been waiting here for 20 minutes. Apparently it takes 10 minutes just to get a soda. Food is still good but service still sucks. #NoImprovementYet the food here is SO DELISHUZ. I had a fallafel and got to sample some of the many side salads, it is by far the best mediterranean food I have come across in the area. oh and the hummus!! homemade goodness. Food was very good year particularly the chicken shish kebab dark meat was just excellent french fries were good vegetable and the salad was wonderful very large and very tasty thank you I wanted a falafel, figured a place with hummus in its title should have falafels and bam! Ended up here lol :P \n\nThey seem to be working out pretty well seeing as they've just re-opened two weeks or so ago, but service is friendly, the seating area looks comfy and has a homely feel to it, and things look promising. \n\nIf you don't like anything else here, you'll like the food. Their hot sauce is delicious (sounds a touch weird for hot sauce, I know) but it had a nice myriad of flavors going on in there that was savory but still spicy. My falafel, though I ate it an hour after I got it (had to go to work) was still delicious, the ingredients obviously fresh and the falafel balls well seasoned. If that's an hour after getting it, I can't imagine how good it'll be if I had eaten it right away! \n\nService is good, though I suspect I was talking to the owner, but he takes care of his customers and has a good sense of humor, which is definitely refreshing. \n\nI'll come back the next time I'm craving a falafel, definitely worth a shot if you're in the area.

Restaurent name is: El Amigo Mexican Food review: I used to LOVE this place until today. They have new staff and my order is ALWAYS wrong now. Tell me what Mexican Restaurant serves Carne Asada fries with no sour cream, barely any cheese and no guac? When I called to ask about why my order wasn't correct, the cashier was rude and basically offered no help or solution and now because of that I will never go back there! Too bad, they actually have some really good carne asada fries, when it's done right! Love this place very a delicious Mexican food. The meat is marinated and so flavorful. This is family owned and the people are so nice. If you want great homemade authentic Mexican food come here. The neighborhood is sketchy but other than that it's cool. I got a carne asada burrito, a ground beef taco and a tamale this afternoon. The taco was decent, the tamale was good but had beans in it which was unusual but still yummy. I was however disappointed with the burrito. I found 3 different hairs in it... But not being much of a germaphobe I just picked them out. The meat had a good flavor but I had to spit almost every piece out because most of it was just grizzle. The rice was so mushy that its texture was more like mashed potatoes, and the hot sauce was really watery....mostly water actually. I wont be back Would have never gone here but it was recommended to me and I was very impressed. It is always quiet in the morning and the food is very authentic. I have ordered early lunch there too and it was all great. I had the chili relleno for breakfast and a taco, enchilada, and tamale for lunch...all was great. The chips and salsa are good and the service is okay. It is in a tiny strip mall next to Circle K at the NE corner of 19ave & Peoria. Stop by sometime and grab a bite! Needed to find a spot to eat breakfast today and relied on trusty yelp! Found this little spot in a strip shopping area. It didn't look like much outside but boy was I surprised! I got the breakfast burrito with chorizo and my husband ordered the huevos rancheros. Big portions and very good eats! Def recommend!

Restaurent name is: Se\xc3\xb1or Taco review: 3.99 for 1 shrimp taco! Really?? Never coming back again until you reevaluate the pricing! Good food but bad customer service... very rude staff. The food is consistently good though. It was alright, the burrito was pretty good but the water tasted like they pumped it out of a nearby pool and the chairs and benches were probably about as comfortable as the floor. The food there is pretty good though. This is my favorite place to get burritos. Their shrimp burritos are fantastic! I steered a coworker to Senor Taco for their shrimp burrito and now he's hooked as well. I will admit that they are lacking consistency because there have been days where the burrito was dripping as soon as I picked it up and other days it was as though they didn't put anything but rice and shrimp in it. More often than not, they've been perfect. I also love their breakfast burritos. I find them to be very filling and keep me full through a good portion of the day. Ordering through the drive-thru isn't too bad as I've not experienced any mistakes with my orders. I do wish that they were open an hour later so I can pick up a shrimp burrito on my way home from work. Best taco shop in south Chandler. Best carnitas for may, many miles. Top notch service, friendly staff that will bring your order to your table and accomodate any special request. When you see the prices you may be a little taken back. It is not cheap, however I can't finish two carnitas tacos. The portions are huge! Good beans and rice and they have one of my favorite toppings for rolled tacos, cotija cheese. The chilliquiles plate is masterful.

Restaurent name is: Yupha's Thai Kitchen review: being new to the area, i'm really on a quest to nail down my basic food groups: thai, persian, and mexican. mexican i've got down i think, but the other two i've kind of been baffled by. luckily i have my very own personal tour guide who invited me to lunch at yupha's one day. \n\nthe place is pretty cute but can get pretty crowded when in the full swing of lunch. the tables are kind of close together, so be sure you arent carrying a big purse or anything otherwise you'll be whacking people in the head with it.\n\ni had the pad thai for lunch. HUGE lunch portions. i could barely finish a third of it and i had a ton to take home for dinner. also if you arent into spicy, i'd definitely go mild. medium spicy is pretty groovin, but i dont think it would work out well for someone who only wants a little spice. yupha's also has an interesting salad bar/soup thing that comes with some of the lunches. check out the salad with the peanut dressing. mmmmmm peanut dressing. i loves it. \n\nservice is fast and friendly. take your check up to the front if you want to get out of here quickly. i think yupha's is going to be my work lunch thai place :). garlic beef here i come! Let me just start out by saying I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. I've only eaten here twice, but the food is just amazing, if not magical. When I come here, I'm looking to especially treat and spoil myself for all the hard work I've done, (when and if I've done any). Now, I've never been to Thailand, or Asia for that matter. But I've eaten at many Thai restaurants because I love the cuisine, but eating here makes me feel like whoever created this menu, was looking to make it not only special, but something worthy of say a Mother's Day, or a special occasion. A memorable meal to go along with good times.\n\n Of course everyone knows, there are a few ingredients that are a big part of Thai food. Peanuts, which many people are, or think they are, allergic to. If you're one of those, sorry, you are just missing out. Coconut and curry also have major roles. I happen to love all those favors, so this food is like a paradise for me.\n\n The food is plated with care, and presentation is always observed, not just slopped on the plate. The food is delicious, and beautiful. I love the sticky rice and the rice that comes with the meal, it has many absorbing capabilities for the sauces. Also, their heat scale is not hot heavy like some places, and if you ask for a 2, it's a 2. You can always add all the chili oil you want if it's not hot enough, which I did both times.\n\n I didn't know I liked coconut ice cream, but I sure did! It was delicious and was much like normal vanilla except lighter tasting, which I did not expect. I also ordered the sticky rice with it, which I think my sever thought was nuts, maybe a little overkill there but hey! I'm a pro! They also have a flaming fried ice cream dessert for a real special occasion. It looked incredible. I saw one being delivered to a table for a birthday while I was there. I must admit, I felt a little peanut butter and jealous, but I'm not narcissistic enough to order myself one, not even on my birthday.\n\n The only tiny negative, which really isn't, and not really their fault, is that it's in a strip mall, so it's kind of...well...strip mallish. Kind of small, concrete floors, etc. In reality, this place is worthy of its own palace, This is not just the best Thai food I've ever had, but it's also the best fare in the whole area, and I've worked around there for 10 years. It's a tad pricey, but not really when you consider how important it is when you want to really treat yourself. I'm sure, I'll have a craving for this place again sooner or later. AMAZING!!!!! This place is my go to for curry, I like to get the yellow curry. Love the atmosphere the staff are very friendly and nice. Overall great experience and will be going back to get more of their yummy food Tried out this place for the first time. I got the drunken noodles and the Thai fried rice. Wow is all I can say, but the service was just ok that's why I'm giving them a 4 star. I love the cocunut curry chicken here. Makes for peffect lunch and convenient location. I had my bday dinner here too and my friends became fans; )

Restaurent name is: Casa Del Mar review: Great service & food! Recommend getting the fiesta plate or the chicken on the beach with a golden margarita! Pretty standard Mexican fare. Got the beef enchiladas which were great and my wife had the chori pollo which she raved about. Pricing and portions are on par with other Mexican restaurants in the area but the location is what stands out about Casa del Mar as it is close to where we live. The interior is clean and well lit and there's plenty of seating. We went on a Monday night and there was quite a few people dining in as well. Despite this, we were able to have a conversation without having to talk over the din that is present in other restaurants. My experience was to say none the less a good one the food was great the only discomfort I had during my visit was the wobbly booth tables that both me and my sister were sitting in on different sides of the table and my margarita wasn't real cold but the food I must say it was very good. Brand new to our neighborhood and so excited to bring the family out to try. Based on the name I was looking forward to a good selection of seafood options. The menu did not disappoint! Plenty of selection for everyone's tastes. The kids loved it too! Looking forward to trying more from this menu! Great food, quick service and the best strawberry margaritas! We love the playa plate. The shrimp are amazing! Been three times and happy every time. Prices are good too.

Restaurent name is: Que Bueno review: Website states they are open until 10:00pm, parking lot full of people and people eating in restaurant...... at 8:30 pm with light OPEN flashing we try to go in and they shut off the light and lock the door knowing we just pulled in. This is the 2nd time this place calls their own hours. We try and support our local business and seems like this place could care less. Funny thing is, there are still families in Fountain Hills after the snow birds leave! Way to appreciate the business that you have! :-(. Took the family here tonight they have a full bar and outside seating which is nice although we sat inside. As you walk in you cant help but notice the many salsa awards propped up in the corner for both hot and mild salsas. Although Ive had better I would certainly say that theirs is the best restaurant salsa that Ive tasted in the valley. My wife ordered the pablano pepper and said it was a little spicy because it came with the seeds in it but she liked it. I had what they call the Accupplulo Chicken or something like that basically a Chicken Burro with Cream Cheez Sauce on it. Presentation was fair taste was good. Kids had the beef tacos they where good. Service and Pricing was Good. All in all certainly not bad but when your salsa is better than your food you get three stars. They also serve breakfast and the prices looked very reasonable for Fountain Hills so we will go back to see if its better than the dinner menu. They weren't busy but service was slow. But we love their salsa, their shredded beef burrito enchilada style was great. The seafood quesadilla had a good cheese sauce with shrimp and fake crab. Looked unappetizing as tortilla was white...wasn't sure if it was grilled or just dried. Still okay as the sauce was very good...would like to see that in a seafood stuffed poblano! This wouldn\'t pass for Mexican food in the valley outside of Fountain Hills. All I ordered were beans and rice and I\'m surprised by how bad it was. \n\nFirst, the portions were tiny for the price point, it was too salty, and when I asked for hot sauce the waitress started pouring tobasco sauce in a little plastic container. Seriously?\n\nI also asked the waitress if there was added oil in the beans to which she replied to, "No". By the time I came back to my office the oil had dripped through the container and on to my legal pad. We just moved to Fountain Hills from another part of Phoenix (we love Fountain Hills by the way) and wanted to try some Mexican food. Living in AZ does have us spoiled and we really wanted to like this place, but it was terrible. Other than the Margaretta (my wife said it was decent) and the Negro Modello (how can they screw up that) everything else was terrible. This place may pass in other parts of the country but honestly we were not sure why it would even still be in business. Salsa was bland, cheese and spinach dip watery, chicken chimi was soggy and had zero flavor. My wife said her chicken salad was okay but very little shredded chicken. We would have been much better off going to Sr. taco and getting take out. Plus 25-30 bucks less expensive. El Encanto is being remodeled and we ate at their other locations and it's pretty good, so we have some saving Graces to be able to eat out in FH at a good mexican place. If not, scottsdale it is.

Restaurent name is: Larsen's Grill review: I took a client here for lunch and am really impressed. I had the seafood salad and she had the ahi salad. Perfectly dressed, perfect portion size. I can't wait to come back and try it for dinner! Live in Henderson and was looking for a good steakhouse outside of the strip. Tried Larsen's based on the reviews and it didn't disappoint. Had the Porterhouse and Mac and cheese for my side. Both were excellent just wish I would've went medium rare instead of medium. The waiter tried to get me to go medium rare and I didn't listen. My wife had the half chicken and she enjoyed hers. The portions are good sized as well. The service wasn't the best, but I will let it slide due to it being Valentine's Day and it was extremely busy. I look forward to giving it another try and trying the prime rib Hubby & I went for lunch. \nHad the fried onion appetizer with barbecue sauce, the top was a little salty, but once we got past that layer they were right on.\nBoth our salads were tasty, I had the chopped salad with house vinaigrette while he had a Caesar.\nMain course, \nWow, just delicious, I had the filet with garlic mashed potatoes. Yummy\nHubby had a steak also with grilled asparagus, forget which one haha, I was to busy eating mine to notice.\nAnd honestly I think service is just such a big part of a meal for me, and our waiter Jeff brought it!\nHe was friendly, funny, a bit of a smart ass in the best way, and didn't breathe down our necks, but kept our drinks filled, and boxed our leftovers.\nBravo Jeff, Thank You Perfect steaks, amazing service - friendly but unobtrusive. Great happy hour menu. This is an amazing restaurant. As always this place never disappoints me. Here at happy hour had sliders, Parmesan garlic fries and Mack and cheese. Absolutely delicious. Atmosphere the view spectacular\nAdam has a great attitude and conversation. Definitely recommend this place and will be returning. He cannot go wrong with anything on the menu recommend everything if you're looking for a nice evening out quiet romantic beautiful this is your place the hidden gem in Henderson. Thanks again Adam

Restaurent name is: Super B Burrito review: I have been to many Mexican food joints. This is by far the best. They provide great customer service here, and the food was amazing. Today i had a carne asada quesadilla and it was the most incredible quesadilla ive ever had. You need to check this place out!!!! Nacho (beef) was super delicious I ate so fast that I forgot to take a pic. San Fran burrito was awesome- great flavors. Service was fast... At first I was really enjoying my food, though in the mix of my greens(cilantro,etc) which I love, I found a large green beetle! Gross!! \nruined my appetite for the rest of the day. \nWould not recommend\nSuper Beetle Burrito Really disappointed with the LACK OF FLAVOR. I gave it 3 stars because of the service and cleanliness. I paid 2.25 for tacos and it was just PLAIN. I usually eat at TACO MEXICO and thought i should give this place a try. The hot sauce lacked flavor and is watery. Found this little gem because the bf and I didn't want to wait an hour for the Sunrise Cafe. It's just around the corner and doesn't disappoint! I got the steak and egg burrito...I'm from SoCal and this is by far the BEST breakfast burrito I've had. The green salsa is a perfect match (mild and tangy with a hint of some type of vinegar). The chips are the real deal...the kind that are crunchier and thicker, also pair well with the burrito. It's way off the strip but I'd come back for sure...it will def cure any hangover!!!

Restaurent name is: Comfort Cravings review: This place was so good! and super fast! ordered on my lunch break and food was fresh and ready in about 5 minutes! the mac and cheese balls are TO DIE FOR! Highly recommend their steak salad with muenster cheese! Can't wait to try this food truck again Ok the food truck came to the Kierland and it was amazing. I ordered the Ruben and I just loved it. So so so good, I did NOT love the chips, they tasted very plain, but the Ruben was so good it made up for it. A few of my coworkers had the Cuban and said that was amazing as well Found this little gem of a Food Truck at the Windsor Home Tour. The Hummus and Chips were out of this world but the Mac and Cheese Balls with the Pomegranate Gastrique were to DIE FOR !!!! Wish I could get this truck to park in front of my house. Guess I will have to hunt its location down every month. This is a MUST TRY !!!! The steak sandwich with Swiss cheese was amazing! This place is a must try & don't forget the barbecue chips! Very tasty Cuban sandwich. And I love those mac and cheese balls. Yum!

Restaurent name is: Whiskey Hollow Grill review: My wife and I have eaten here often and the food is always delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant. I do not think we've every ever had a poor experience here. Their Louisiana Seafood Scampi is outstanding & the buffalo chicken pasta is good enough to write home about. The food and custom cocktails are excellent and the cosy atmosphere with the help of friendly staff keeps me coming back. Just had to write a little something about my expierience here, I came with my boyfriend and a good friend of mine for a quick bite to eat before heading to an event later that evening. When we arrived it started out great our waitress Veira was friendly and got our drinks quickly. We ordered and the food came out fast and was very delicious!! UNTIL...I totally lost my appetite, Veira came over and asked how our food was which we said was very yummy. But while she was chatting with us she was picking her teeth, or lack there of. I couldn't have been more turned off by a server in my life. Etiquette 101 you should know to keep your fingers out of your mouth while addressing your patrons. I work in a restaurant and have for many years. My boyfriend did mention something to the manager who was very nice, and comped out bill which was not necessary. We were not looking for a free meal, but to just make sure that Veira knew to not do this is the future. Again, the food was delicious, but unfortunetly in my travels back to Pitt this will surely not be a stop for me. Sorry to post such a negative review but if this was done once just think of how many other times this has been done without anyone saying anything about it. I hadn\'t been to Whiskey Hollow for more than a couple years and the only thing that hasn\'t changed is the decor. Apparently it has changed hands. It\'s now cash only so hello 1980. The menus are cheesy thin glossy paper (my local pizza joint has a higher quality menu). The service was adequate and not a stitch more than what was absolutely essential to get food on the table. The food itself was delicious. My daughter, grandson and I had the seafood chimis, good but pricey at $14.95. Three bottled beers for $20. My s-i-l\'s crab cake sand was "Good but I\'ve had better." No more "known for our desserts." Now it\'s ice cream with choc or hot fudge. Overall disappointing. Glad we had a living social voucher so our not-so-great night out for 3 adults + 2 kids was $60 instead of $110. My galpal and I came here yesterday evening to use up a gift certificate I got for my birthday. This was the first time I had eaten here in over a year, and I was reminded of the warm atmosphere upon entering the establishment. There\'s a bar in front, by the way. \n\nI\'m just gonna review what I had. My girlfriend had a pasta with chicken (sorta Chicken Alfredo with rigatoni) dish that she seemed to like. They used to have a website with their menu online, but I can\'t seem to find it, so I apologize for not remembering the exact names of everything I ate. \n\nWotta ya want me to do? Be a nerd and bring a pencil and notepad? I was on a date darnit! \n\nWe shared the Coconut Shrimp which was sweet and crunchy even though the breading wasn\'t perfectly applied (it was sorta halfway on the shrimp). The plate was adorned with a strip of shredded lettuce and two sauces. The first is their signature Voodoo sauce which is a syrupy condiment of some kind that you can get with everything, even burgers. It\'s like Sweet and Sour sauce without the Sour. The second sauce was some sort of creamy garlic sauce. Both went well with the plump, juicy shrimp. We didn\'t use all of both sauces, so I saved them for my entree, which was 2 Crabcakes with Mashed New Potatoes and coleslaw (you get 2 sides). The Crabcakes also came with a remoulade which I loved as much as I did the other 2 sauces. It was flavorful and creamy.\n\nI know, I\'m terrible. \n\nThe Crabcakes were magnificently rich, moist, weighy, chunky, and packed with crab. You get 2 with an order, and it\'s good that\'s all they gave me. If they were "all you can eat" I\'d have been in trouble because they were that tasty. \n\nThe mashed potatoes were thick and were as good as comfort food should be. The Cole Slaw was crisp and refreshing but was a tad underdressed. \n\nDesserts are just written on a chalkboard and are not on a menu, which means ya gotta turn your head and have a gander. It was a little bit of a letdown. We each had the Brownie Ala Mode which also comes with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. \n\nNow Whiskey Hollow Grill is in a shopping center that also houses a Kuhn\'s supermarket. \n\nThey cheated. \n\nI know supermarket bakery goods when I taste \'em. Now the brownie wasn\'t bad, but like the kind of stuff you get at supermarket bakeries, it tasted a little stale, had too much icing on it to overcompensate, and the icing wasn\'t really that good. \n\nWhen I have Brownie Ala Mode at any restaurant, I demand that the brownie be warm and made on the premises from scratch, along with the whipped cream. And forget Hershey\'s syrup. I want hot fudge. Again, made from scratch. Yup. I\'m a sundae snob. \n\nThey also have a White Chocolate Banana Burrito which I had last time I was there, and I wasn\'t crazy about that either. \n\nThe service was outstanding also. Kudos to our lovely server Yanelis. \n\nMinor griping aside, Whiskey Hollow Grill is a fine establishment that should please any fan of American Barroom fare.

Restaurent name is: Mr Greenjeans Restaurant & Bar review: To escape the humble beginnings of a torrential downpour on Sunday, my brother and I decided to stay inside the mall and have dinner at Mr. Greenjeans. I was pretty skeptical at first, and I wasn't about to succumb to the trap that is the packed food court, so I settled.\n\nIt was pretty quiet on the day that we came in. We were seated on the lounge side of the restaurant. It was nice, well lit, and equipped with extremely large tables. Our server came by promptly and took our drink orders. She also diligently checked up on my brother and I and made sure that all of the food was to our liking. \n\nWe started out with the calamari ($10). The marinara sauce was good, but the calamari was a bit on the oily side. Not a huge deal, but it was just too oily for my liking. Then, I decided to channel my inner 5 year old and get the chicken fingers and buffalo chips ($14). The buffalo chips are basically kettle chips. I love kettle chips so I really liked these. The chicken fingers were awesome. They were pretty large and you get 5 of them. I can eat a lot and I could hardly finish my meal with these chicken fingers. They're also super juicy and tender. My brother had the Squiggly burger which was a 7oz. pork and chorizo burger with bacon ($14). It looked really good and he said it was quite tasty as well. He also couldn't finish his meal. \n\nOur server made sure to check up on us as soon as we were done and we had our bill in no time. She was extremely sweet and super speedy. For my brother and I, we paid less than $60 including the tip and we had a pretty good time at Mr. Greenjeans. I just might be back if I'm even in the mall again. Casual atmosphere, nothing fancy. The service was fair, from what I remember. But there are soo many other restaurants in Toronto and even in this area that are better, why come here? \n\nI know some people who used to come here to eat all the time in University. But for me, this I would only eat here if I was super hungry and just had to eat somewhere quick. The location is good, obviously since it's right by Dundas Square. \n\nI would recommend this place for lunch.\n\nDerek I\'ve given Greenjeans a few tries, which is generous because I\'ve had one of my worst dining experience at this place. The last straw was taking visitors to TO there, getting seated, and the waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our order. After flagging down an employee and asking if he could find our waitress, "Maybe" was his reply. \n\nNo maybe about it. We walked right out of there. I recommend you go to City Grill directly underneath it instead. Over the last few years, this restaurant has really stepped up its game. I have rarely have a bad experience and the food is consistently good. The service is usually good. \n\nMy favourites are:\n\n1. the Jerk style chicken breast salad (I like the spices on the chicken - it has quite a kick) and the dressing but the rest is just romaine lettuce (somewhat uninspired). \n\n2. Grilled salmon with mango salsa and grilled veggies and potatoes. I like that they include sweet potatoes in the mix. Served on a ceder plank. \n\n3. My new favourite is the vegetarian sandwich - eggplant, red pepper puree, lemon aioli and brie served on a chiabatta bun. I had the Cesar salad with it on the side. It was ok but the sandwich was very good. It was quite filling. \n\nI love their bloody ceasars too. The drink is huge and is served with a skewer of assorted veggies and a piece of sausage. I know it sounds weird but it is quite good...and filling. \n\nKeep up the good work Mr. Greenjeans. There are not that many restaurants out there that have been around as long as you have. I have been a customer for approximately 30 years. We visited Mr Greenjeans on Sunday August 3. 2014 at 12:00 PM. The hostess was not friendly, the waiter was grumpy. The food was satisfactory but nothing special. When we walked out. the hostess did not pay attention to us. The overall experience in this restaurant was unacceptable. I am not sure who is managing this restaurant, but they better get their staff basic customer service training. I get better service down by the food court. Not worth the money or time.

Restaurent name is: Dobe & Andy review: A typical Hong Kong "Tea Restaurant", they have a very diverse menu and make most of their dishes very well.\n\nMy personal favourite is their rice noodle stir fried with beef and soya sauce (#G on the lunch menu If I recall correctly), any of the fried vermicelli dishes, Fried rice with fermented crab sauce and beef, Salted fish and chicken fried rice and the Roasted pork and duck on rice, albeit I always order it with pork belly, which is an extra. They put garlic and chive cooked in oil on top of it, which makes it particularly succulent. \n\nThey probably have the best Milk Tea in the city, made with real tea leaves, and their cold Lemon Tea ain\'t half bad either. Great lunch spot. Great place and very low pricing for HK style roast pork .... the roast pork is crispy n juicy . Skin is crispy and yummy . Not too salty and just nice seasoning. Great authentic Chinese food. Fast, not fancy. Yummy. Good portion. Loud! Lots of locals. Cheap. The advantage here is the price , very low price and the food is good enough, fast service, free tea. I'm surprised at the relatively high average Yelp rating here, because if this is among the best Chinese food that Montr\xc3\xa9al has to offer, then, sadly, that doesn't say much about Chinese food in Montr\xc3\xa9al. \n\nLike a true Cantonese diner, there's a large variety of offerings here, whether rice dishes, fried noodle dishes, or noodle bowls. Everything is very inexpensive, but that having been said, you get what you pay for, which might be a lot in terms of quantity, but not much in terms of quality. Indeed, I was here traveling with my Cantonese parents and they didn't have much nice things to say about the whole experience either. \n\nA cheap, inexpensive meal - and that's about all there is to say about it.

Restaurent name is: Tao Restaurant review: I ordered this through UberEATS hoping that I had found a solid Chinese resto in the area. I'm not sure if they are affiliated with Tao on Victoria, whom I've had years ago and pretty much enjoyed, but this was really bad. Super bland and really nothing was enjoyable. They forgot to deliver our 2nd egg roll, my fav part of the meal was the one bite I was able to take of my wife's portion. Peanut butter dumplings had very little sauce, orange beef was accompanied by honey garlic sauce, salt and pepper shrimp were okay, shrimp dumplings were flat out gross and chow mein was the blandest bowl of noodles I had ever eaten. Never again! Came here with my parents last night. One advantage about this place is that it has a very comfortable decor, leather booths, soft classical music, and ramps to make it easier for older people to climb the stairs. \n\nThe food was quite expensive. The "Shredded duck soup" was a bland broth with small chunks of duck.\n\nThe two noodle dishes we ordered had the same sauce - very salty - too much soya sauce.\n\nThe Chinese beer we ordered had to be chilled so we had to wait for it.\n\nAll in all, the food was the quality of a neon sign Chinese diner, but more expensive. I wouldn\'t recommend it. TLDR: Great spot for a table d'hote.\n\nThe restaurant is two in one, Tao and a vegan one which I hope to try soon.\n\nThe ginger spinach soup is a light delicate chicken broth, flavoured with ginger and garnished with spinach and I believe water chestnuts (I'm not sure, it's something white and crunchy).\nThe hot and sour soup is perfectly balanced.\n\nThe Hunan dumplings are a tasty and satisfying treat for someone who enjoys dishes with peanut sauce.\n\nThe sizzling Thai basil beef really does come in a sizzling plate and is garnished with mushrooms, asparagus, and snow peas. The crispy duck is also delicious.\n\nThe meal ends with delicious cookies and candied walnuts which are out of this world.\n\nThe service is attentive and efficient. Tao is a wonderful and refreshing family restaurant in the NDG area. Sadly has gone down in quality. More like fast food mall style now. Aweful. Very off in quality compared to the past. We were always regular takeout customers. Friends and family had same experience recently. Lost us all as customers. Never ever compromise on quality. Great service and good food. Loved the veggie rice paper rolls\nThe general tso was great. Asparagus with double mushrooms was not great because too many woody asparagus pieces and hardly any mushrooms..

Restaurent name is: Fuji Hibachi & Teriyaki Grill review: It is great. Never really thought of eating here earlier but now that I kmow its a great place to eat I will surely come again. Great location, right in the Epicenter... however the day I visited, there seemed to be some technical difficulties happening. First of all, it was prime lunch hour time... walked in... and there was one person in the whole place. I would think there would be a decent crowd (at least half the restaurant taken up)... but not the case. The other issue was that there was smoke EVERYWHERE. Maybe their vent fan was malfunctioning that day, but the front doors were thrown open and some floor fans were blowing the smoke out.... something tells me that it has happened in more than occasion if they have the perpetual floors fan blowing the smoke out the front doors.\n\nStill determined to try this place out, I walked to the counter and order the hibachi chicken with mushrooms. Pretty standard for all of these places. Good to see it was cooked to order so I waited about 6-8 minutes... trying to decide if my eyes were watering from the smoke or from hunger... (mostly smoke). \n\nThe food was OK, but nothing to write home about. Solid lunch option if they figure out their ventilation system. The price did seem a little high for an okay hibachi lunch dish. \n\nI do want to say that the employees were busting' their butts to get the food out. The poor girl at the front was taking orders and delivering them out to people at the few tables that got occupied. I may have started a trend that day when they saw someone enter into the smokey arena and still order food. It was not for lack of trying. This place is amazing! I have been waiting to try out Fuji Hibachi Grill since they open a few weeks ago. As you walk in you are welcomed by the friendly staff! That is always a plus! The restaurant has modern and sleek feel to it. What better way to eat lunch and watch some football. The food was so good I ordered the chicken and fried rice combination and was amazed by the portion. HUGE! I am so full I think I need to take a power nap. I will highly recommend this place to my co-workers and friends! Definitely coming back for round #2 Please don't go here. The food is just so gross. This has got to be the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I got the Chicken Hibachi and all parts were just bad.\n\nLike really bad. The chicken was so so salty and dry. The rice had a strange taste to it and was very greasy. I didn't even try the carrots, they were just sad looking. The mushrooms were mushy and probably came from a can. There was no good part of the food and after eating some of it I just gave up and threw it away. \n\nThe price was low but the food quality was awful. Ugly on the inside and service was ok. Not worth your time. After giving Fuji three tries, I felt a review was deserved. Overall, everything I have tried has just been okay. The hibachi options are HUGE! I have tried a few different options, chicken being my least favorite as it was very dry. The shrimp has always been cooked well, as well as the steak. I will say, do not waste your money on the filet upgrade..I did not notice any difference from the regular steak option. Overall, my favorite is the shrimp, with the amazing shrimp sauce, onions and mushrooms as I find the carrots are a little too sweet. The fried rice is cooked perfectly and again is a large portion. Service has always been good, nothing great, so again Fuji in my mind is good, however, nothing I would crave & want all the time.

Restaurent name is: Remedy's Tavern review: Good food, good service. Nice to the locals and great for night shift workers. Surprisingly delicious meats and fresh salads - not just typical "bar food". The ahi tuna salad is delicious and if you want a burger, The Cure is phenomenal.\n\nBumped up to 5 stars after also coming here for breakfast with my kids. Still good service every time, and nothing on the menu has disappointed me yet. We've been in when the service was absolute crap, and honestly was giving this place its last chance... then, we came in and Corinne totally redeemed Remedy's for me. I'll give this 5 stars because she went over and above for us. We will be back now again because she TOTALLY REDEEMED this place. Thanks!! Sam was amazing. Food abd service was great. Great deals during football games. Steak nachos were great price and huge portion. I cannot say enough good about Remedy's! This is my favorite local watering hole! When I feel like a night out away from my kiddos this is my spot. The bartenders are friendly and fun. Zak is funny and always welcoming. Kim is sweet and sassy. Nicole is adorable and always chill to chat with...and Marie is one of my favorite lunch time gals! \nI like that I can come in and play some keno, have a few drinks, and enjoy some delicious food with good people. I've never had a bad meal here. I've been frequenting this location for at least five years. I even bring my daughters into the restaurant side on occasion and we have breakfast or lunch. My girls love their pancakes and their french fries with ranch. *Side note: their fries are SO GOOD!!\nIf you're looking for good food, good drinks, and good fun, check out Remedy's! It doesn't get much better than this!! Corrine is absolutely amazing! Her service is above and beyond! Loved the music, loved the drinks

Restaurent name is: Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar - Las Vegas review: Great food and service! This is our go to place for our anniversary and other special occasions. We've never had a bad meal and the service is great! Great daily happy hour deals in the bar area! We like the shrimp cocktail, calamari, filet medallions, and other small plates. Their meat is always cooked perfect and is very flavorful. Nice selection of spirits and wine. I like your dining rewards program too! Great service with TJ and the managers are always walking around checking in on your meal. Top notch! Hade the dry aged rib eye pre cut and wow it was delicious. Cesar salad was amazing as well with the crab cakes definitely recommend to any one who's in the mood for a good steak house Food was amazing! Great atmosphere. I've heard of this restaurant and finally made it and it was as good as I expected. I'm 39 and I've officially had the best meal of life as of last night! I went to Fleming's in Feb for my b-day with a group of friends and it was very good then but I was more focused on visiting and b-day festivities to notice how good it was, plus we had appetizers at Brio before so...\n\nMy husband and I decided to take our 12 year old daughter out to a nice dinner last night. Let me start by saying Steve was our waiter and he was such a nice, down to earth guy. He was just the right amt of attentive. Not to pushy, which is a huge plus with us. Now about the food... We ordered Calamari too start off and were served wonderful bread & butter.. There were 2 kinds of gourmet butters accompanying the bread.. a Brie one and a Smoked Gouda one (I think). Now imagine butter mixed with both of those cheeses!!! DELISH! The Calamari was run of the mill but it had spicy peppers in it which was positive for us, we like anything hot. For salads, its a MUST for me to order a Blue Cheese Wedge when ever one is available, it was so good! It had a huge slice of blue cheese on it plus the bacon that we all love so much. My daughter ordered a Ceasar salad for her meal, the greens were so fresh and crisp, this salad also had fried capers on it which gave it a crunch.. For our entrees we ordered the Sea bass and the 3 course meal that included an 8 ounce Filet with 2 crab stuffed Lobster tails.. It also included a crunchy grilled sweet squash or similar vege. I wanted the Sauteed Mushrooms and my husband wanted Mashed Potatoes, all the sides were amazing.. couldn't imagine a better meal and I've eaten at a lot of the local casino steak houses.. The 3 course entree came with a Pumpkin Cheesecake, and it was a nice slice and tasted fresh and homemade.. I had one glass of wine, husband had 2 cocktails, bill was $198 not including tip.. I know that seems high bit it was so worth it for us.. This is a GREAT special occasion place, I did see they had happy hour but we had our babe with us so couldn't try that in the bar..\n\nDo your self and your loved ones a favor and eat here!!! LOVE We had dinner at Fleming's before seeing a show on the strip. The location is nice because it's in the front of Town Square. You can get in and out of the shopping center pretty fast. I started with the French Onion soup and it was delicious. The only bad thing was that it was so hot, it burnt my tongue. I know you're probably thinking...why didn't you wait? I did!! For the main entree, I ordered the Main Filet, oscar style. I had to ask for extra b\xc3\xa9arnaise sauce because it barely comes with any on it. (oscar style) The steak was pretty good and it was actually so big that I didn't finish it. We also ordered mashed potatoes. \n\nThe service was pretty good but my water glass sat empty many times. I had to ask the waitress twice for a refill. Besides that, the experience was fine. The restaurant isn't that big but they do have a private dining area for large groups. I noticed the bar area was super busy...so I was wondering if they had some kind of happy hour on Saturday night.

Restaurent name is: Tasty BBQ Seafood Restaurant review: I've got to say that this is the oddest name for a restaurant. I would not be a fan of BBQ Seafood... Maybe it's just a case of lost in translation.\n\nThe restaurant was pretty busy when we went in on a Sunday night, but it quickly died down after people ate. The restaurant got progressively emptier, and we were one of only 3 tables left at only 8:30pm. Not a good sign when even the staff start to head out before the restaurant closes.\n\nThe food was mediocre at best, but there were a couple dishes that were okay. The service wasn't that great either, with servers not communicating with each other regarding dishes that came to the table. We didn't get enough chicken and the bill came to us twice (and they even expected us to pay the second time).\n\nNot a place I would probably visit again... Had the BBQ duck with noodle, great value for the large plate of duck you get, available after 11am. Very bad service. The food I ordered never came when my partners already finished their meal. When I told the cashier about it, she took it off the bill without saying anything. Please save your money and time, go somewhere else. I come here in the afternoons for their set meals, so don't quote me for any dinner details (after 6pm).\n\nI love coming here for their afternoon tea sets, because they come with HK-style drinks and are quite affordable. You'll agree once you see how many plates are placed on the table - you will feel bad for the dishwasher. I usually order from their {All Day Combo} or {Combo} menu because it's available all day (before 6pm). From their Combo menu, all their items come with hearty toast & eggs, and that's where you'll find the value of coming here.\n\n{Lunch Specials} is a typical HK-style menu - lots of HK staples - you can't go wrong with it and the portions are filling. I think their food is consistent.\n\nService, however, is very inconsistent, (I've had some substandard experiences here myself), but I'm quite forgiving because I've seen those servers there all day, everyday. It's practically their home. So I don't blame 'em. I really don't expect compassionate service here, just the good food. Prices have been raised by ~dollar from before, but it's still good enough to get me coming back.\n\nSpecial Mention: Chinese BBQ!!!\nThis is really worth mentioning because they make their own barbequed goods. They don't have it on display. Refer to their {Barbecued} menu. A whole BBQ pork is $10. When I first ate their Cha Siu in-house, my first bite was o_o unexpectedly delicious! I think it's cuz I wasn't expecting BBQ made from them. It's sweet marinade, very tender & juicy; once I tried it, I couldn't stop eating it! It was a good balance of meat and fat. I'm sure if you verbally request what cuts you want, they'll get it for you. So the next time your parents or grandparents request for some Chinese BBQ last minute, be sure to give this place a try, you won't regret it. It's been a while since I last came here. Since my previous review it seems a lot of things have changed or maybe this place is just hit and miss. The inside is renovated so it's more upscale now. The food is actually good, at least if you get the set menus. We ordered lobster, chicken, bbq duck, veggies, fried rice, and bass. Surprisingly everything was very good unlike my previous visits here. The duck was the highlight. Heck, even the service has improved. It used to be borderline rude and this time they were actually pleasant and cleared the table and replaced plates often.

Restaurent name is: My Big Fat Greek Gyro review: I always get the gyro salad or traditional gyro and they are 100% reliably the same deliciousness every time! Staff is friendly and respectful. Best gyros anywhere in the Burgh, hands down. Tons of meat, great sauce and perfectly grilled pita. \nTry the fish gyro during lent or ask Brett for the secret gyro addition,... French fries. Only a small up charg, but well worth it. \nLove you guys! Great food, good atmosphere and fantastic service. The staff here is very friendly, the service is quick, but don't let the bar-ish atmosphere fool you : the food is first rate and the place is kid friendly. Wow, what happened to this place? Stopped here to pick up a take out kids meal for my son who was home sick. After four days of not eating, he was asking for this food.\n\nPaid the $8.00 for a kids meal which was a gyro platter and fries. In the past, that has ALWAYs been enough to fill him. Their regular adult sandwiches are $7.50. But when I opened the styrofoam box what did I find? A few dried out shavings of meat and about 9 fries. I should have taken a photo but my phone was already filled to capacity. And to top it off, fries were ice cold, as was the meat. and we live about three minutes away. \n\nI don't know if the kid thought I was getting it for myself or what. But if you are going to reduce the portion size, don't charge that much money. Now I have to go out and get him another sandwich.... but .... not here. Definitely not here. \n\nMost of the great Yelper reviews were over a year old. Did this place change management? I am completely obsessed with their chicken salad. It is seriously the best salad I have ever had. Their pita and hummus is pretty tasty too. Place is clean. Service is great. Totally recommend!

Restaurent name is: Ristorante Corneli review: solid authentic Italian food in an old world setting. This family restaurant has operated in the city for decades and they know Italian. I will definitely return for the wine list alone. My rating is more 2.5. Food is decent, but service was pretty rude. Would recommend coming here on weekends, i heard they had better waiters on weekends. \n\nCame here with family and family friends.\nWe took some entr\xc3\xa9es salmon tartar (pretty good) and calamari (also good) and for main, pasta and pizza. \nThe food was decent, the salty taste of the parma pizza was too overpowering on taste of the pizza. \n\nThe service was not the best. The attitude of our waitress did not seem professional. The way she was addressing us and even the other waitress who came to give us our doggy bags was rude. I came here with a regular customer, and he told me that the service in the weekend is a lot more professional and overall better. \n\nThe atmosphere is nice, great for family, friends, couples! Pricing is decent if not a bit overpriced, but i didn't feel like money was totally wasted. Pour un petit lunch d'apr\xc3\xa8s midi avec une Moretti et un aperol spritz, c'\xc3\xa9tait parfait. Amazing food. Amazing service. Great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the experience! Would definitely come back. Nicolas was a great waiter!!! I wanted something light, so I ordered the veal, no pasta. I regret it. I bet the pasta would have been better. My order was basic; just veal with gravy. Wasn't bad but I feel like they have better options to choose. I did enjoy the vegetables and potatoes though. \n\nMy friends ordered mussels and they were really good. I don't know what one of them was but the mustard flavored mussels were tastier of the two. \n\nOrdered a chocolate cake for dessert. It was scrumptious and well worth the calories\n\nStaff was more than excellent

Restaurent name is: Robin des Bois review: I came in just before closing, but they seated me with a warm welcome, and served me the most delicious coconut curry soup with soba broccoli, beans and salmon steak. Wine was good and service was excellent. I will be back again for sure. I came here for dinner last night with my partner and absolutely LOVED everything about this cozy restaurant. They have a retro- diner kind of vibe that is a bit upscale. Tables for large groups as well as small. A stage for music which they have on most weekends and delicious food. We order the dahl soup to start which was reasonably priced ($4 for a bowl to share for two people) and then the vegetarian chili, poutine, and mountain plate with grilled tofu. The tofu was our favorite part, sweet and firm (I hate soft tofu). The restaurant Is run by volunteers and profits go to charity so you feel good about eating here too! The night we visited, there was a family, including a dapper 10 year old boy in vest and bow tie that we're volunteering. I know we'll definitely be back to eat and perhaps even volunteer. I booked Robin des Bois after an extensive search for something that would appeal to my 10 year old as well as 6 of our friends to celebrate my husbands birthday. Everyone was super nice and the food was delicious. Next time I'm in Montreal, I will be staying within walking distance so we can try out their brunch menu! Found this place by chance because of the small no. Of reviews but a must to go. Great service and food I was in Quebec for two weeks. This is the only restaurant I visited more than once. Most of the staff are unpaid volunteers and the proceeds from the restaurant go to several local charities helping reintegrate those who were formerly homeless.\n\nThe charity aspect aside, the food is really good. I tried the lentil soup, Maharaja (vegetable) plate, beef burger, beef bavette, and some other stuff I can't remember. Didn't have a bad dish.\n\nPrices are really reasonable too.

Restaurent name is: Bah\xc3\xada Centroamerica Restaurant review: Best place in town, one of the few places in town offering really good authentic Central America food. Fritanga , Pupusas, CHicken Pastelitos "kids\' favorite" , Salvadorian horchata .....etc. \nreally great service Delicious food and nice service. Coffee cups always full. Clean and inviting. Highly recommend. Friendly and clean. The menu has a big selection of food. I went in for Nica food and husband wanted seafood and the we had our boys too. So we had 3 menus. I had the Nica breakfast: eggs, Gallo pinto(my fav), fried cheese(yum), sweet plantains and a side of sour cream. Let me tell you I just loved every bite! We also had the quesillo which is like a quesadilla but with a Nica twist, it's a thick tortilla, cheese, onions and sour cream. It was delicious! My husband ordered the Campechana (Mexican shrimp cocktail with other seafood). He also ordered half dozen or oysters. He liked everything. We ordered the ham and egg breakfast comes with white rice and refried beans which was good and my little one had the quesadilla with fries from kids menu. We also ordered a drinks one michelada and a cacao drinks both real good too. Finally found authentic Nicaraguan food in las vegas. I love my country and our food. awesome service, greeted with smiles They changed there mixed papusa into a cheaper mix and I was not happy at all...I used to go there but now I refuse to....I returned the food and asked for my money back and the owner refused to give it back since they said there was nothing wrong with it...so the EMPLOYEE gave me back my money out of her own tips and apologized about what happened.....that company is a horrible establishment and good employees should not have to do that....

Restaurent name is: Moutons Noirs review: the name might translate to "black sheep", but I doubt I would shun this BYOB restaurant.\n\nwe checked this place out for a late lunch. the lunch menu is limited (there were about 10 or so options, I believe), but also cost effective and filling: pretty much around $10-18 dollars for a great portion that didn\'t leave you bloated but definitely vanquished your hunger.\n\nI opted for a steak with fries and grilled vegetables. the steak was nice and tender, and had a great glaze of soy sauce (though it did not have the taste of the 48900% daily sodium intake like most soy sauces) and black pepper. the fries were crispy and not greasy - I really love how Canadians make fries!\n\nservice was excellent, though to be fair there was only one other occupied table. I guess few people eat lunch at 2:30 in this area.\n\ntheir dinner menu seems to have much more offerings. their specialty is lamb, but there are plenty of options for other meats, as well as some seafood and vegetarian meals. a few of the plates on the menu seemed to be Italian- and Asian- influenced, which certainly seems to be a testament to Montreal\'s status as a truly multicultural city.\n\nthe atmosphere was great. casual, with some great French jazz music playing at a comfortable volume. the paintings were pretty sweet, I thought. one had a pile of skulls underneath a mushroom cloud, while another resembled the royalty from a deck of cards fighting it out. We came here for a late lunch during the second day of our Montreal adventures. I love the street Moutons Noirs is on--lots of adorable shops and eateries. After noticing the shockingly reasonable lunch specials, we knew that we needed to try this place. \n\nUpon entering, we took note of the trippy art throughout the restaurant. My favorite pieces were the painting with the symbols and characters from playing cards and the red pillow made to look like the devil. Edgy but not overly so. For lunch, I had a salad with grilled salmon which was very large and delicious especially considering the price. The service was attentive and friendly, and the ambient French music created a relaxed atmosphere. \n\nWhile I do warn you that this is a BYOB establishment, in case you were looking for a place to have drinks with dinner, I am sure you would otherwise not be disappointed. I found a diamond in rough.\n\nThis place has amazing service, very knowledgable and very friendly .\n\nI had the wild Quebec lamb, it was absolutely the best I ever had in Montreal.\nThe portions was very generous , the quality is incredible ! Great BYOB restaurant for Lamb lovers. Try their Lamb chops and pair it with a good Pinot Noir or merlot. While going toward chuchai i noticed this place and the amusing sign. Then i discovered that chuchai was closed. I was looking for something vegetarian and read the menu on whim only to realize that this was one of the few places in the area that had anything that a vegetarian can eat. Not just that, there was more than just a salad on the menu that was suitable for a vegetarian. \n\nThe food was good but more notable, the service was great and made the evening very enjoyable. \n\nThe place is a BYOB like many of the other places in the area, there is a wine store on the corner and its a good idea to hop over and grab a bottle before heading in if you want something to drink.

Restaurent name is: Bespoke Inn and Bespoke Cycles review: Small, romantic inn with thoughtful, bespoke touches located within walking distance of downtown Scottsdale. The owner-operators are attentive and thoughtful in their advance preparation for even the smallest details: soft, luxuriant towels, fresh fruit and wonderfully appointed rooms. Their Tuscan-style courtyard hosts an excellent restaurant with a wonderful brunch and cutting-edge cocktails. Will stay here anytime I'd like to be near Phoenix or Scottsdale. Small but very cozy inn. Includes vouchers for brunch at the restaurant, and bikes for toodling about town. Walking distance to old town restaurants and bars.\n\nBed was very comfortable, and the room and bathroom were stylish and well thought out. My husband being an avid mountain and road biker loves this place. Amazing rooms. All state of the art with upgrades that would compete with any 5 star resort. Top bicycles (for those who know anything about biking) Bespoke is a full service boutique shop that specializes in hand-brazed steel framesets, hand-laced wheels. The bikes for toodling about town are Pashley Cycles -England's longest established bicycle manufacturer. Founded in 1926 and based in Stratford-upon-Avon, each Pashley has been hand built for over eighty years. Plus for the Euro traveler All Inclusive Cycling Vacation Six days, five nights luxury accommodations at Bespoke Inn Five days of guided riding 2-5 hours each day. Canyon Lake, Tortilla Flats, South Mountain, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley Loop & Tempe Town Lake + High-end road bike to use each day serviced and cleaned before each ride + A full gourmet three-course brunch daily + Post ride recovery snacks as well as on-ride Musette bags loaded with essentials for the day + Airport pick-up and drop-off. We had a fantastic stay! I wouldn't consider myself a boutique hotel kind of guy, but this place is stellar. Our room was clean, well put together and VERY comfortable. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Vitru shares the courtyard and is a must as well. We will be staying here again. We loved spending our anniversary at Bespoke! They were so nice to upgrade our room for our anniversary, we stayed in the Giuseppe & Lotte Suite. The room was great with cute details and a nice little patio. We had both dinner and brunch at Virt\xc3\xba, the on site restaurant, and both meals were wonderful. It is definitely worth spending the 10$ for brunch vouchers, because what we ate definitely exceeded what we spent on the vouchers and it was all delicious! Brunch highlights were the pork ragu over polenta, and the lemon ricotta pancakes. All of dinner was good, but I really enjoyed the asparagus app and you can never go wrong with fresh burrata! We will definitely be back to Bespoke and Virt\xc3\xba.

Restaurent name is: China One review: I went to there for a takeout order, the person who took care my order was kind stupid, seems like she didn't understand exactly what I said.she lost her patience after...... then when I got back to my apartment, the food wasn't really good! I won't come back.\nI tried another chinese restaurant facing the unlv university, I am happy with them. The service is very quick and efficient. The server was friendly. We each ordered our own entrees for dinner and left very full. You have the option to have the sauce on the side when you get sweet and sour. Get it on the side so your food isn't drowning in the sauce. Good value for $8.95 I use yelp or delivery and they came quickly and was hot but I ordered combination chow mein and there was no meat in my Chow mein... Literally five pieces of shrimp no vegetables and no meat!! I was disappointed I don't think I will order from here again For the lunch special I would go if your in a rush, the food came out hot and fast and was $6.25 for a decent amount that should fill u up.\n\nI got general Taos it was good, crunchy outside...not super soft like in malls. My kids got chicken and broccoli which was on par with most take outs.\n\nThis isn't a 5 star restaurant so don't expect it to be, but it is an option compared to all the McDonald's and pollo loco's and equivalent fast food.\n\n-Alex Service was great food came out extremely fast. Which probably explains the lack of quality. I don't mind waiting a few extra mins if the food quality will come out better. Very greasy. Pretty disgusted just by looking at it and had no flavor. I also got a taro boba that when I took my first sip the boba balls were hard as a rock when I tried chewing. And the taro smoothie was so sugary. Worst boba I've had in my life

Restaurent name is: Sho Sushi Bar & Kitchen review: Mmmmm....amazing different things on the menu...spicy tuna stuffed avacado was amazing!! Can't wait to go back!! Another great lunch! Great service, amazing sushi! Tuna Tataki is prepared perfectly, best in the city! Since Japanese is one of my favorite types of cuisine, we decided to try Sho Sushi on Macleod for my birthday dinner. It was conveniently located and had some great reviews so I was excited to check it out.\n\nAtmosphere: 4/5 I was surprised that it was not too busy for a Saturday evening, but we also came quite early. Interesting decor with a modern and classy feel, and I especially like the open kitchen area. We were seated at one of the tables with high chairs. I like the quiet and relaxed atmosphere - great for catching up with friends over conversation. The back area also had some interesting wall paintings. Bathrooms are modern just like in Japan!\n\nFood: 4/5 We ended up having salmon sushi, beef tataki, ocean seaweed salad, spider and samurai rolls. The menu has a number of creative rolls which all sounded very tasty. I like the option of having black rice for one of the rolls. Everything was very fresh and tasty, and I especially like having the rolls seared right in front of us. \n\nService: 4/5 overall friendly, attentive and efficient\n\nPrice: 3/5 Reasonable for the type and amount of food\n\nOverall: 4/5 I enjoyed my experience at this Japanese restaurant. It has a great and relaxed atmosphere to have quiet conversation, as well as some creative choices for sushi rolls. I would return again to try some of their other menu items. Him: Can we go to Sho for dinner?\nMe: Fo' Sho\n\nHahaha, ok ok, that was my one Dad joke for the day.\n\nI'd never been to Sho before, and since it was my dinner date's fave sushi restaurant, I happily agreed to go.\n\nI was surprised at the fresh, thich cut sashimi we got considering we are in landlocked Alberta! And I appreciated that the sauce for the agedashi tofu was served on the side instead of in the bowl with the tofu (which most places do and you get a soggy mess). \n\nThe fire dragon roll legit comes out with actual FIRE. You need to get it, not just to see a flaming dish (it is pretty cool) but the spicy tuna, unagi and volcano sauce with the added crunch of tempura crumbs is an texture and flavour bomb you need to try.\n\nI was quite impressed with Sho, and look forward to future dinners here! If you Google "Best Sushi Calgary", Sho turns up in the top three. Sho is definitely better than the last few sushi restaurants I\'ve tried. I\'m not sure about "best" ... but I haven\'t recently had better.\n\nI like the vibe. The layout is open, the decor is modern, the waiters are friendly. I still can\'t wrap my head around that yelly thing that staff at a Japanese restaurant do when a new customer arrives... but they do it at Sho. So that\'s fine, I guess.\n\nAs always, I had salmon and tuna sashimi, avocado/cucumber and salmon maki, and edemame. They also brought a random appetizer tray of peanuts, seaweed and kimchi. The food was good, good and good. My special lady friend had a salad, which was apparently good too. We both commented to ourselves that the red tuna tasted a little "fishy" but ... whatever. \n\nIt was a fine late-evening choice. I like Sho. I like it a lot.

Restaurent name is: Anzios Italian Restaurant review: Groupon brought us here for the first time. I can only tell you that you have to come here at least once to try out their food. You will not be disappointed! Do not let the outside of the building to fool you. Great neighborhood place with the same owners and consistent quality for the last 20 years. Anti pasta salad and wings and you can't go wrong! Pizza is one of the better ones too. Friendly and fast service (we did let them know we were on our way to a concert)..... I love this joint. Amazing pizza. I live in Central Phoenix and my folks up in Sun City... I make sure to stop by to get a pizza to go. The lasagna was delicious, the pizza was also delicious. Service was great and the food was served fast even with a lot of people there. \n. I would recommend this place absolutely. \nAnd I will be back when I come to this town again. \nThank you Me and my family came here, service has never been great and hostess barely even acknowledge you when you come in. Was told when we came in 35-40 min wait. I have waited with my party here for a hour and 15 and someone who is not the hostess comes and says they do not put tables together after waiting this long. I'm sorry but this is a complete lie! We have eaten here before and tables were put together on more than one occasion. Problem is they seat people who parties haven't even arrived yet! \nThis is the worst service I have received. And still waiting as I write this review, I was just offered to sit at bar with my family who children are included .

Restaurent name is: The Taco Spot review: After reading the reviews I thought I'd stop in here last night. Unfortunately it appears they're closed. In the suite where I thought there restaurant should be, it's empty.\n\nBTW, had to give this place a star rating otherwise Yelp wouldn't let me post this message, so I went middle of the road. Note I did not eat here. This,place is a the bomb!!!! Food is great,friendly staff,and greeted! great service!! Very,nice modern mexican style . Great music,variety,and even have all sport games on tv's! . Could be a fast Food thing or a nice dine inn. Wife and kids loved it,and we,go almost every weekend. It's a must!!!! The employees were really friendly and courteous. The tacos are small and for $2 a taco I can get the same tacos at another place I recently reviewed for less. The steak is really good. We ordered chicken also and I could taste the chorizo that was left on the grill in the chicken. They also didn't give us our chips and salsa we ordered to go. Overall not a horrible place but pricey for the portions. I'll just go across the street for the same prices. I was not impressed at all with this place. To be completely honest, I went to Robertos right after to get more food. To start the meal was overpriced. The portion size was much smaller than Cafe Rio or Roberto's and the quality was not even close. The pork was dry and the tortillas were not very good. They also did not have dessert when I was there. Why have it on the menu? Just a tease! I will not be returning! The food was delicious and they aren't skimpy on the portion sizes. If you love cheese the way I do you'll love the costra!

Restaurent name is: Corazon Mexican Cocina review: I wanted to like the place. The staff is very friendly and attentive, although they were disorganized (seemed new to the restaurant business). \n\nWe came in on a Friday night with the Living Social deal which was $19 for two house margaritas, an appetizer, and two entrees. \n\nFirst off, the house margaritas which are six dollars were not good at all. Couldn\'t taste any tequila, obvious taste of cheap margarita mix and could not taste any triple sec. \n\nNext was the appetizer. We went for the cheese crisp. This was a flour tortilla with cheddar cheese and a small helping of sour cream and lettuce to top with for $7. Very disappointed with appetizer. \n\nAs for the entrees, I got the parrilada with chicken and shrimp and my girlfriend got the Verde chicken enchiladas. My meal was $15 regularly and hers was $8 plus $4 more for rice and beans. Neither meal was impressive, and the prices were much higher than most other places in the valley, particularly in this area. \n\nChips (flour) and "salsa" were a little different and tasted fine, but i much prefer fresh salsa made with vegetables. I am not sure what the orange sauce like concoction that they gave us was, but I would not call it salsa. \n\nMoved to Arizona from Texas almost 3 years ago and have yet to find a Mexican restaurant that is tasty and reasonably priced, and this one disappointed as well. \n\nI would not recommend, you will pay too much for something that you could get at one of the bertos restaurants. Also avoid the margarita at all costs. It was well overpriced for the quality. Head over to La Condesca if you are wanting to spend 10-12 on some tasty quality Mexican food. Good food, reasonable prices, but very slow service and not warm enough inside. \n\nI chose Corazon for lunch with co-workers, based on location. With only two reviews, both 5 stars, I was skeptical. They didn't earn 5 stars for us that day. \n\nThe place was almost empty at noon on a weekday. Only two or three other tables with customers. Maybe the word hasn't gotten around, or maybe people try it once and don't come back. The point is the service was slow, and it wasn't because they were busy. Our food came out one dish at a time (there were seven of us!) It took 15-20 minutes from the first to the last. And the chips and salsa ran out twice and we had to ask for more. \n\nAnd it was really chilly in the restaurant. I had to keep my jacket on the entire meal. The weather was unusually cold for Phoenix, so maybe the furnace can't keep up, but my guess is they were just trying to keep their heating bill down.\n\nThe food was very good, and the prices were reasonable ($13-14 each, incl tax & tip, without alcohol). I'm willing to try it again, but maybe with a smaller group of people, during milder weather! Wow! Best restaurant food we had all year!\nGot myself Carne Asada Tacos - $8.95, wife had Fried steak burrito - $8.95. Both loved it. If you are on low calorie, I suggest Carne Asada Tacos. Otherwise Burrito. Burrito is huge ! Got dessert, Churro with Icecream, which was delicious. Margarita, spicy and hot- $7.95. I'm coming back!! Great Enchiladas awesome chimichangas great chips and salsa get the red salsa very delicious great place for lunch and dinner I gotta say I really never take time to review places I visit, but I wanted to praise this place, because I was blown away by my brunch today. This is a new restaurant so I was excited to try it out. They didn't disappoint! The chips and salsa they started us out with are homemade, and super delicious! We ordered about 3 refills of the homemade salsa. It had a unique taste, but packed with flavor, and just the right amount of spice. I had the Red Chile Chilaquiles with eggs. They serve generously, so come hungry! What I loved about the chilaquiles was the flavor of the sauce, and the texture of the actual chilaquiles were a little bit crunchy, just like my mom makes them. This restaurant has a big variety of items, from fresh sea food, to traditional mexican food. We met one of the owners today as well. They have extensive experience cooking good food at other reputable valley restaurants, and have even been praised on television for this. I will certainly return with my friends and family.
