Restaurent name is: Fortune Chinese Restaurant
review: 4 1/2 stars. I was going to have Thai food for lunch in this same strip center and noticed the grand opening sign. Ater looking inside and seeing a good amount of patrons - we decided to eat here instead.\n\nOrdered several orders of dim sum on the request form and was going to order lobster but unfortunately they were out and had not received their shipment that day. Ended up ordering the live fresh fish that was amazingly good. I was pleased with the taste and quality of the dim sum which they just added recently. I usually avoid in Las Vegas since I really haven't had much luck finding a decent place - that is until now. The Asian waitress was on the quiet side but the manager here was friendly helpful.\n\nI would surely return here again in the future. went for dinner tonight and had a special order of tilapia( one fish was made into 3 different dish). It was so damn good!!! It's good for 2 people. Me and my husband ordered 2 more dishes and we were not able to finish them all. The chef's so friendly and honest, he actually told us that we ordered too much, not like some other place, they do care if you are able to finish your food or not, they only care about the money that they can make out of you. I definitely will come back in future for more tasty food. \nBTW, their party set up look all fancy Abalone's on special now ;) yehhhh. Unfortunately I have to have dinner by my own tonight....... It was perfectly made with reasonable price. Highly recommended. The worst Chinese Restaurant in Las Vegas. If I can give ZERO star I would! We ordered 5 dishes and it took 45 mins for the food to be done. The food was cold and it tastes bad!!!\n\nHoney Walnut Shrimp - for a $12 dish, the shrimp is like a nugget size. It came in a small box with 8 small shrimp and with lots of lettuce. They put the honey/mayo sauce on the side. So you're basically like dipping the shrimp in a mayo with no taste at all! Panda Express Honey walnut shrimp tastes so much better. \n\nDeep Fried Squid with Salt and Pepper was the worst one we've had. The squid are all tails and just full of cornstarch. \n\nOrange Chicken taste like straight from the freezer. It's soo hard and they basically gave you a ketchup tasting sauce to pour into the chicken.\n\nThis restaurant was used to be called Diamond China. They have better chef and selection of dishes. This restaurant should close. Don't ever eat here. FINALLY a place that doesn't put the little onion guys in fried rice. Ordered with grub hub and I'm happy I did! I'll definitely order from here again!

Restaurent name is: Pizzino's Pizzeria
review: We order from here frequently. Pizzas, chicken and subs are all great A friend of mine recommended this place. Unfortunately, my friend does not know good food if it would bite him in the rear. I ordered the baked spaghetti with meatballs. Apparently, they didn't get a chance to nuke the store bought meatballs thoroughly before they shoved the spaghetti in the oven.. One bite of my ice cold meatball and I knew it was a mistake to eat here. The stale, room temperature garlic breadstick didn't help with my opinion either. The only plus is that the food is cheap...and it tastes like it. Good pizza. Nothing incredible but the best that delivered to my old place off of Wyndham Ridge. We got delivery from Pizzino's while we were staying at a hotel off the turnpike. Regular pizza is thin crust and a little on the small side, but delicious. Liked the breadsticks too. We tried the garlic pizza with pepperoni and asked for marinara on the side for dipping. Everything was delicious and the staff were great! Will definitely go back!

Restaurent name is: Hot Dog On A Stick
review: Long ago, I used to be a loyal Hot Dog on A Stick employee. I don't frequent it as much as I used to, but nostalgia always brings me back! This particular location in Town Square captures all the good things about this staple mall food that I've always loved. One of the things this location has (that I'm not sure if others have) are great combo deals and discounts, so you can load up on all the delicious fried food, for much less. The funnel cake sticks here are well done, but there's a funnel cake place right next door too. \n\nPro Tip: Park in the South parking structure for an easy walk to their outside stand. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this little Hot Dog on a Stick kiosk. The employee's are so friendly, and make sure that they treat you like family. Since I work in Town Square it's an easy place to stop by and grab a quick bite to eat. The food is always amazing, and their lemonade is to die for! I even bought the large souvenir cup so that I can get refills. Seriously, they are so amazing. If you want to grab a great bite to eat, I would highly recommend that you stop by and check them out! No gloves! Talked to the manager and he said corporate doesn't require gloves. I thought that was a law. Gross and so unsanitary! Loved the ice cold lemonade & cherry slush lemonade to wash down all the fried goodies. And who doesn't love hot dogs?! We tried the sampler that comes with 4 varieties of dogs of your choice - (Nathan's all beef, turkey, veggie, or a cheese dog- pepper jack, mozzarella or cheddar cheeses) All are corn dog style. Also comes with an order of fries and funnel fries topped with powdered sugar. \n\nI was really surprised how yummy the veggie dog was, a lower calorie option and tasty, too! And you've got to try these funnel fries for dessert with a cherry slush lemonade- so good and perfect in this warm weather. Grab a seat under the umbrella seating right behind the kiosk - they deliver your meal right to you. I have to say, for fast food we had great service, and even got to try a sampler of their tasty cherry lemonade- which we of course had to have MORE OF! We'll be back again after our next shopping day. The manager at this location is just so friendly. Always striking good conversations and always providing samples! They are always on top of things and for being new to Townsquare have already made a good impression on all the mall employees here and the customers! Keep up the good work!

Restaurent name is: King's Family Restaurant
review: I really don't know what's with all of these bad reviews. The food is great and hearty. The service is fantastic and friendly! They are nice to you and the food is big portions but wonderful and warm authentic food! Enjoy, and this is a wonderful place!!! Not noisy or loud at all either. Ian from Big Brother said he went in there one night with some buddies to order some coffee. They were asked to leave if they weren't going to order food. Ian asked to speak to the manager. The manager tells him the same thing even when Ian said he'd gladly leave a big tip on the order. The manager said that wasn't acceptable. When Ian tries to order an appetizer the manager informs him that it won't do and they'd have to order entrees. They left.\n\nTrue story. Bottomless coffee, the intention is good, but the bad thing is the staff will check on you less often... At King's, we were served food but they forgot to give us utensils... We have to wait another 10 minutes after our breakfast was served to actually start eating... We went for dinner last night and breakfast this morning. We had great service and good food. The desserts were awesome! They just need better coffee. This was one of the very first places I went when I moved here. And this is normally the kind of place I would hate, but there's something I find really hilarious about the whole thing. Like, it's so corny, and I'm really (deeply) amused by the frownies.\n\nI got the Kings Country Breakfast and it was okay, and I really like the broccoli and cheese soup. I've had pretty good luck with my menu selections there. I know my roommate was less than thrilled with some of the things she's gotten.\n\nI think of it as kind of like a Denny's and you just go because it's there.

Restaurent name is: Viet Express
review: Finally, the Vietnamese banh mi sandwich has arrived in the South West. I've already had two or is it three in the last few weeks. Several are priced at $4, so the price is right. \n\nMade fresh, on that oh so crunchy roll, and slathered with their warm buttery banh mi sauce. Made right-so-you-can-watch bubble tea to wash it down, plus a loyalty card. Yay! I'm a fan.\n\nMore details to follow soon. Oh, one more surprise, they make fresh spring rolls too, I mean right then and there. Great peanut sauce, adding that extra sweetness, to the moist rice paper, with shrimp, chicken and vegetable filling. Yum.\n\nOnly 7 more sandwiches to go and then one free. Yeah. Cheap, fast and delicious! One of my go to places when I need a filling meal on the go. \nJust watch out, when they ask if you want it spicy they will make it VERY spicy! I ordered delivery from here last night. We tried the bbq pork sandwich, chicken Tonkin soup, shrimp and chicken spring rolls, lemongrass beef and a mini wonton soup.\n\nI wont order the wonton soup again, but all the other dishes where excellent. The Tonkin soup arrived with broth on the side, and came together beautifully. The bbq pork sandwich was an amazing deal at under 5$, and the lemongrass beef was also impressive for the price.\n\nThis place will definitely be on my order again list as the neighborhood is seriously lacking in decent Asian food, particularly at such reasonable prices and with delivery. At first used to really like it.\n\nOne time ordered extra chicken and veggies and that's when I got sick. I'm not sure what it was but I couldn't eat it again when I ordered the chicken didn't even look cooked. What a shame because we needed this in our neighbourhood. Great prices, Bahn Mi sandwiches are awesome. Everything is fresh, the spring rolls are good

Restaurent name is: Miss Congee
review: Terrible food here I will NEVER COME back ever again. Ordered three dishes, all three of them are disappointments. \n1. Seafood congee : no seafood but charge you seafood price and it is like soup there is no thickness to the congee no actual texture to the congee. \n\n2. Fried noodles : burnt all over. Tastes like you'll get cancer after you eat a bowl. \n\n3. Deep fried Yao tiu : not even fried properly, takes like dough. \n\nBe warned never come. This place won't last. The name doesn't suit the food. Miss congee isn't making congee she is making liquid soup. \n\nBetter off with with congee queen. Terrible organization and service. Been waiting for almost an hour and the food still hasn't arrived. \n\nStaff is lost. Asked multiple times on the status of our orders. No one could give us an answer. \n\nJust witnessed a waitress get into a loud and animated argument with a customer. In front of a fully packed restaurant. \n\nShould have read earlier reviews before choosing this place. We're experiencing the exact same terrible service.\n\nSave yourself the headache and go to Congee Queen. There's a reason why they do so well. Came here with my family a few weeks ago. It was packed on a Sunday night. We waited for about 40 minutes for a table but we were forewarned. We ordered the set Crab/Lobster menu and didn't get the pre-meal soup until after some of the dishes had already arrived. And that's only after we had asked for it multiple times. We also didn't get the drinks or rice until much later. Price was reasonable and food tasted great but not sure if I'd come back again because of the poor service. Saturday lunch with the family at this relatively new place on hwy 7 and kennedy. Their concept similar to congee queen nearby but their menu isnt as extensive (No pho though). \n\nWe ordered three items. The liver congee was pretty good but the bowl is small and can only feed about a group of 4. Their Yingyang rice was so-so; the ketchup was too sour and needed some sugar. The turnip patties were not spicy but fresh and hot. There were some chicken and shrimp bits but the overall plate quantity is smaller than congee queen but turnip cubes are larger in size. Patties were slightly overburned. Overall mediocre food. \n\nHA service.. What service? Waitresses kind of wander around and chitchat on floor and they are not the most attentive. Its ironic that our table didnt get much service and yet there are so many waitresses on floor lol. Definitely needs to be retrained. \n\nTHE FUNNIEST THING was as we were leaving the parking lot, one of the waitresses came out looking for someone cause apparantly they got the order wrong for one of the customer's takeout... Lol hope they find him/her. \n\nWont be back. Had absolutely no expectations when walking into this place due to the horrible reviews on Yelp but surprisingly it wasn't that bad and with improvement over time they can be a good competitor for congee queen. \n\nTo start off on a good note, the food quality and portions were decent. I had a noodle, congee, duck and fried pork - everything tasted amazing and on point. \n\nHowever I do agree with most people where the service quality definitely needs improvement and they better do something about it fast because it's obviously costing them their reputation. They surprisingly hired very very inexperienced waitresses and seem unorganized to a point where they may have opened prematurely. \n\nOverall it exceeded my little expectations that I had and I'll be back hoping for service improvements !

Restaurent name is: Bubba Gump Shrimp
review: It was our first time in Vegas, and we accidentally stumbled over this place. We did not have any idea about its food offering and how it rated with the gastronomic crowd. I'd say it was a pleasant experience for my group. Their clam chowder was good! I also liked their mahi mahi. More than anything else, our waitress named Amanda was simply amazing. I would recommend this place. We've eaten here a couple times when in Vegas and this last time was the best. We had Forrest's Seafood Feast and the New Orleans Shrimp. The New Orleans Shrimp is best if you mix everything up into the sauce when you get it. The pineapple margarita was great and they give you a shaker to keep re-filling so it makes 3 margaritas total. Service was great and we were seated right away for a Thursday evening dinner. Danny was hands down the best server! His attention to detail was great and he was overall just very pleasant. I will definitely come back here after this experience! The jambalaya was also bomb, 5 stars no doubt!! This wasn't my choice since I lived in New Orleans for ten years and have had it several times. The group I was with wanted to eat here so I didn't put up a fight. It was eight of us and the waitress was great at taking the orders and answering questions. Some had specific requests and that was handled well also. I split the Shrimper's Heaven and Bubba's After the Storm Bucket of Boat Trash with someone. The food was cooked well but not very well seasoned. It was ok. I also tasted the potato cakes which were average. The Lt. Dan's Pomegranate Punch was tasty though. Average seafood. Nothing outstanding. I love EVERYTHING in this RESTRO esp the bread pudding .. I love to sit outside looking through out the Strip .. KIds Love this place as well ... Everything in the menu is awesome with good price

Restaurent name is: Chou's Kitchen
review: Read about Chou\'s Kitchen from Travel & Leisure\'s "Best Chinese Restaurants in the US". Had to give it a try! Needless to say, my expectations were high. The food at Chou\'s is pretty good, but I wasn\'t blown away.\n\nDumplings are handmade, which is a nice touch for sure. You can\'t go wrong ordering these. You won\'t get any sauce with it - just mix your own soy sauce with a touch of vinegar and spice. I\'ll admit that I have had better dumpling elsewhere, but Chou\'s dumplings are pretty good for the Phoenix area.\n\nSpicy beef and tendon dish (frequently recommended by other Yelpers) is good. Could be spicer, but not bad.\n\nI also ordered the meatball dish (known as Lion\'s head). Nice flavor. A little stingy on the number of meatballs though.\n\nService is slow, but then again, this can be expected from small mom and pop chinese restaurants.\n\nOverall, this gets a 3.5 from me. I\'m not sure how it made Travel & Leisure\'s list, since it wasn\'t fantastic (though I\'ve eaten at a few of the other restaurants on their list, and they can be hit-and-miss as well). Still, a solid option. Bump it up to 4-stars since I like to support local businesses. Ordered Pig ear, bean curd salad, vermicelli with ground pork, spicy chicken and pork and Napa cabbage dumplings. The chicken and vermicelli are pretty good but other dishes are just average or even below average. It used taste so much better before they opened the other location in Tempe. Guess they have more customers at the Tempe location and don't care about the chandler location as much. It's really a 3.5-star First time eating at this restaurant. We walked in and we're not greeted. We had to figure out were to sit. Our waitress was unwelcoming. She asked us what to drink and ran off. The food was great! Shrimp noodles, shrimp fried rice was awesome. I recommend the food and I would work on friendlier service. I loved the food but will not be back. Every table was occupied, and the entire time we were there we only saw one white person (other that us). Enough said. \n\nOk, I'll say a bit more. The food was on the pricey side of Chinese food ($9-$12), but SO worth it. Quite a selection of dumpling-type things that don't translate well to English. Kind of like dim sum but definitely a northeastern flavor. In fact, if you are a fan of the light and bland flavors the Cantonese fare served in most Chinese Restaurants in the US, this place might shock you. The flavors are deep and intense and very authentic. \n\nWe'll definitely go back at least 4 or 5 more times because there were so many items on the menu that we were dying to try. Hint: go with a group so you can order more dishes and sample more!\n\nThe environment was nice and clean, and the service was very friendly and responsive. First of all the 5 star rating is for the Xiaolongbao (XLB). XLB are soup dumplings. The filling is made with a meat aspic folded into the dumpling, so when cooked the aspic gelatin melts and becomes liquid like soup. The XLB here is probably the best in AZ, my kids can eat these all day if they could! We've been coming here for a long time now and just love this place. If you love dumplings you have to come try this place out!

Restaurent name is: Al Pastor
review: Its veryvery so so so...the wait is sooo long and i know it doesnt take that much to make tacos, the place wasnt packed. I think tacos were just dry and so little meat! The burrito was good but i didnt see any meat in it. Will never come back. I had a really bad experience here, I tried to call when they gave me the incorrect order and they did not answer. After returning the order they made by mistake they remade it and made another mistake. I could not be bothered to return it a second time. Instead, I emailed the contact email about my poor experience and was ignored. Dropped by here for lunch after the High Park Spring run off. I was hungry but not starving having had my post-race banana and power bar an hour or so before. I will simply say this- the best shrimp tacos I've ever had! 100 times better than the deep fried shrimp atop some kind of coleslaw that is typical. This was a perfect little creation: 3 grilled shrimp adorned with fresh pieces of avocado and a spicy dollop of red sauce/salsa. I will have 4 of those when I come back here for dinner. At $5 a piece it would be a bargain! I also had the veggie taco which was good but not as good as the shrimp. We had nacho chips and guac as well. Guac was excellent, chips ok. We didn't have drinks except water but I noted they had some nice mocktails and even fresh carrot juice. \nService was really friendly and we were offered the choice of tables even though we were two people. We took advantage and sat at a sprawling picnic style tabl with lots of room and a great view out the large windows onto Dundas/Junction. I'm giving this place a 5 star rating due to the authenticity with their delicious Mexican cuisine and the excellent service. I definitely recommend the Al Pastor tacos! The pork is juicy, tender and the pineapple adds the perfect touch. They also have a wide array of hot sauces that give that extra kick if you're a fan of spicy food! I will definitely be back again for one of the city's best taco spots! Sadly I'm not a fan. Their prices are a bit too high and you can get better tasting tacos very close by. Their Horchata had no flavor. Very sad that this wasn't a win for us.

Restaurent name is: Ten-Ichi Japanese Restaurant
review: Only went once, the time I went, I was offered a seat at the hot table. \nHoly food, the guy cooked and cooked and cooked, we kept taking everything he put on our plates, even though we don't like sea food lol. \nApparently there is a all you can eat sushi offered as well, we only ever saw a waiter once. \nThe hot table was pretty ok, except a bunch of the seafood make everything taste like fish.\nNext time, we wont sit at the hot table. Service is amazing! We received our food in less 5 mins from ordering, and the waitress is super attentive. She came to ask for more order without us asking. The menu is also extensive, and you can also get stuff from the teppanyaki (the sirloin steak is amazing!) One of the best AYCE sushi place in Toronto. Honestly the best AYCE place, the food was amazing and the service was jaw dropping. This is a restaurant that takes pride in their service, food, and presentation. I went for my birthday lunch here and it's awesome! Been there twice and they have a great atmosphere and ur able to enjoy urself to the fullest! A++++ Fairly good AYCE sushi joint for social eating. The atmosphere and overall appearance of the place is what I remember most. Their sushi is O.K. compared to the rest of the things they have. Lots of friendly waiters. Kind of on the pricey side. \n\nFinal verdict: Just another AYCE sushi joint.

Restaurent name is: Los Favoritos
review: I got the vegetarian burrito and thought it was just average tasting.\n\nThey do not post the nutritional facts of their food, which scares me a bit. I have done some digging in the past when places like this didn't post anything, and the results were scary (ie, tons of Trans fats).\n\nThe burrito size to price ratio was above average also.\n\nI doubt I will make the journey back. Open until 2 am on the weekends. Checked this place out mostly because no others were open. Good variety menu. Carne asada tacos were very good. Beans aren't made with lard, so that's good! Rice was tasty. The rolled tacos could have used more meat but then again the order came with 6 so it's satisfying enough. \nClean restaurant, friendly staff, decent prices. \n\nThe have apple soda! This place gets five stars for the green salsa alone. It's addictive, and they sell it BY THE CUP FULL. What they really ought to do is bottle it and put it in the store. It's spicy enough, but not overwhelmingly so. \n\nThe breakfast burrito is the only thing I've had, and we get it every Sunday. The ham is the best, but so is the chorizo and bacon. You can't go wrong, especially with a side of pinto beans. Take it to go, eat in on the patio.. this place can't be beat. \n\nThe price is right, and the green sauce is addictive. I typically go here for a breakfast burrito or chicken rolled tacos (taquitos). Based on the location of this particular Los, they are often busy and the tables aren't always clean. Though I don't sit and eat often, when I do, I'd prefer a clean table (wiped with a cleansing agent and not a rag from the sink in the back). This place doesn't even deserve 1 star. First off it looks like it's barely clean on the inside. Second, the tacos I had were not good at all, and third you have to listen to the staff screaming in Spanish the whole time your eating. Not pleasurable at all. Do not go here for tacos.. Find somewhere else!

Restaurent name is: Ithaca Restaurant
review: I had been to this place for lunch several times on different weekend and weekday. Every time my friends and I certainly ordered 3 different kinds of meat - lamb souvlaki, chicken souvlaki and pork souvlaki. The food all came out so tender and juicy having a very good appearance and smell that makes you want to eat. Each dish was also served with roast potatoes, veggies, rice and tzatziki. I really like its tzatziki which is cool yogurt and cucumbers combine. It's the best Greek dip ever for lamb, chicken and pork... And one of my friends really love the roast potatoes and she's able to finish every single piece on the plate... I've been to this restaurant several times and they've been fairly consistent, with good food and good service.\n\nIthaca is a decent sized place with a small patio out front and a separate entrance at the back for take-out orders. It's located in a plaza with a lot of very busy Asian restaurants so parking is often a problem, even though they have a few reserved spots right out front. FYI: there's a bakery and another restaurant opening soon right next door.\n\nWe started with an order of fried Kalamarakia (calamari) and it was seasoned well but I would have preferred it a little crispier. We also had an order of Taramosalata (red caviar puree). I've only had this once before, a very long time ago, and I can't remember how that version tasted. I feel like this should have had more flavour. I found it very subtle. Garlic bread is included and was toasted nicely.\n\nI had the Gyro dinner with rice, roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, and tzatziki. It was made and formed from ground beef and lamb. The flavour was good but doesn't measure up to the ones from Messini's (in my opinion).\n\nMy friends ordered the Pork Souvlaki dinner and Seafood Platter which they all enjoyed. Portion sizes are very generous and all our meals included a Greek salad.\n\nThe service was courteous and efficient, although there was a delay with one of the souvlaki orders because the kitchen missed it. Our server apologized several times. He had earlier recommended a Greek beer and it wasn't bad at all. I would have awarded a half point more if it wasn't for the kitchen miscue. Went for a quick meal , excellent service , delicious food and warm atmosphere . Loved it and will definitely go again Decided to come to Ithaca since it had been a while since we had Greek food. We were greeted friendly and seated at a table. As other reviews mentioned, the decor is older and could use a renovation. I ordered the seafood special and my wife ordered the pork souvlaki. She asked for more rice instead of potatoes and the server quickly took her request. The Greek salad was a good size and had lots of cheese. The garlic bread was delicious. When the food arrived we got exactly what we ordered, including my wife's extra rice. My wife said her pork souvlaki was delicious. The pan fried sole and the battered shrimp from my combo were delicious, but the battered scallops were small. Too bad we were full because the desert looked delicious. Contrary to what other people have said, I found the price reasonable. Will go back. Drive to the Danforth for tourist-y food or find something up north. Not sure it is worth the drive to Pape to get meat on a stick - real tasty meat on a stick.\nAfter scouring the web for souvlaki north of 7, Ithaca showed up on the radar.\nHad decent reviews and it would save me the hassle of trying to park during dinner time off the Danforth strip.\nIthaca is located down restaurant row with limited parking for such a busy strip mall. The restaurant is flanked by Chinese and Pho restaurants. The Pho place is called "Pho Quinn" - yes, er...nice play on words.\nThe place reminds me of a Mr. Greek restaurant. You know, hand painted walls and a large menu served by older gentlemens. They had the standard fare and even "Italian" - go figure.\nWe had a variety of items and some good and some not so good.\nThe fried calamari was dark battered and was not crispy and light as other places I\'ve been. The greek salad and the pikalia was good. The gyro was like all the others, and the various souvlaki was not a major standout either.\nBasically, if you want a decent Greek meal and not make a long drive to get all the touristy ambiance with the food, Ithaca can be that place.\nOPA!

Restaurent name is: Filiberto's Mexican Food
review: Okay , what am I doing at a Filiberto's? That was the question of the evening, but it was Thanksgiving Eve and I had food to make , kids to quickly feed and my home from college daughter had a friend to meet nearby. So Filibertos it is. I ordered my traditional Mexican fast food meal a red bean burrito. Whoopee ..no big deal ..nothing to taste, blandness with a wad of shredded cheese at the bottom...didn't get sick even though I have heard stories. Place was clean and seemed okay . Girls thought theirs were just okay. No harm no foul. But I am not going back. Food is alright. Not the best but it's tolerable when its 3am and you're scavenging for food. Horchata isn't half bad though so i might come back lady that served me needs to sleep, dark circles under eyes look like me in high school when was on that go fast, as she chewing on somthing taking my order. I been coming here for about three months and its not bad , but dang broke man is stuck w, most bang for the buck. But last visit is today!!!! order a chicken burrito, and these stupid people decided to put a real leg chicken bone inside, maybe mexican humor or somthing, uncalled for and will never return or encorage another to go to this hole in the wall location, go to a different one. Sad Always good...even when its not 2 am after a night of drinking with friends. I always get the same thing. AZ burrito and a large Mexican juice of some kind. Wow. How awful. Jose is the cook and probably one of the rudest people I have ever met. He burned my food then complained when I ask him to make it not as burned. Do not come here. Go down to the next one.

Restaurent name is: The Bistro
review: It was alittle loud because of its small size. The service is always great. The bread is hot fresh & so good. My veal was good but marinara was not so good needs more flavor desserts are super we will come back So glad we came back to Bistro, it was just as good as ever. Had a delicious dinner at a very reasonable price. Thank Bryce!! Used to love the Bistro. Then I had lunch there. The Philly Cheese Steak was repugnant. I've eaten Philly-style steak sandwiches for 50 years. I grew up summers in the the Philadelphia area. The tough, overcooked, thick sliced meat on garlic bread was truly offensive. I'm a long term customer who will not be back. I'm glad there are lots of Capriottis around. This was out first visit. We went on a Monday night. We are wine people. They had a "baby Amarone" on the specials board. I asked the waitress, what this was. She had no idea. She brought a bottle over. The bottle was hot to the touch. She said the wine sits in the sun all day. I settled for water. \n\nI am gluten free. I can\'t help it. Gluten makes me ill. The Bistro does not have a gluten fee menu. I chose the almond salmon. My wife had a chicken dish. Mine came with twice baked potatoes. The waitress said she would ensure they were gluten free. After a while, when we had not seen our waitress, we asked another waitress. She said he potatoes were not gluten free. I settled on a plain baked potato. \n\nAfter more than an hour, our food arrived. Not sure why the delay. There were only five tables occupied. My baked potato turned out to be potato medallions. My wife said her chicken had a refrigerator taste. My salmon was too dry to eat. \nOur waitress said she was sorry as she gave us he check. This has been my favorite place in Boulder for years, but the quality and service has been slipping lately. I picked up a call in order Friday and while I was waiting watched a lady sitting down from me at the bar send her food back, and watched the cook identify the cause as bad cream. The salmon was not quite right, and our dinner overall was a bit off. I have had really great meals here, but the last few times didn't really measure up to what I would do at home. Please implement better quality management so that we can have at least one fine dining place in Boulder.

Restaurent name is: Hing Wong Chinese Restaurant
review: Very tasty food. Was not too excited when son of staff walked up to get my credit card and sneezed all over the card and counter without covering face and handed it back to me. Hing Wong is a wonderful restaurant! We always get takeout and it is always great, we never have a complaint! And the staff is wonderful and friendly. This restaurant's popularity is more than likely hampered by its obscure location and outdated facade. At first glance, this small take-out-only restaurant could easily be mistaken for a condemned building. Once inside,circa 1960's ill faded asian murals and backlit signs illuminate food options.\n A husband and wife, who speak little english, but fully understand the language, greet you promptly. They use authentic 'fire breathing dragon' stoves for their woks. Every ingredient is chopped fresh and made to order. i.e ginger, vegetables, raw meats.\n Their prices are very reasonable considering the large quantity given. Around $7 per meal with rice included. Most dishes are authentic non-Americanized asian food. MSG free with every ingredient uniquely represented. Many of their fried foods are drained of oil before being incorporated into the saucy wok.\n A must try restaurant indeed. A modest take-out location tucked into a strip mall, but definitely the most delicious Chinese food we've found in the area. The pork lo mein was incredible, as were the crab rangoons! The food was made quickly and portions were generous. General Tso's was fantastic and actually spicy! Sadly they tore down the building it was in. Does anybody know if they relocated?

Restaurent name is: Chipotle Mexican Grill
review: I have pre-ordered with the Chipotle App the past three times and each time my food was not ready. This most recent time was the worst. I had to wait ten minutes. But thank goodness I was there. The person made one of my orders wrong. When I confronted him he gave me a nasty look. I had to pull up the email to show him what it said. The kicker was they weren't even busy. If you can't meet your scheduled pick up time don't offer the service. Every other location has never been a problem. If I could give less than a half star, I would. This store is absolutely horrible. Employees here are ridiculously SLOW and have horrible attitudes. If you can, don't go to this store. Seriously, you'll be disappointed. Apparently queso from here is the Chipotle version of McDonald\'s always-broken-at-the-end-of-the-night milkshake machine. Don\'t expect to get queso if you go in within the last few hours of them closing. They\'re "out for the night." Pathetic. This is the fastest location I have ever been too. The food is always consistent and everyone's super friendly. I will pass going to Fairlawn or Akron's restaurants, for this one specifically. They are awesome I have been here twice & want to keep coming but they are slow & have burnt the chicken both times. I'm going to give them one more chance.

Restaurent name is: Winghart's Burger & Whiskey Bar
review: Awesome burgers! Definitely one of the best I've ever had. Fantastic taste with ridiculous names! I love this restaurant! I stopped by this Winghart's with a couple of friends this past Sun. at around 6:30. Having visited and enjoyed the original location in Market Square, and having a City Dining Card, I suggested that we stop by. Since it'd been awhile since my friends had had a good burger, they were game, so we ventured over to E. Carson St. to check it out.\n\nAs an appetizer, we ordered the white truffle aioli fries ($5.25) to share between us. These fries were well-fried and crispy, and the toppings were delicious, taking the fries to another level. As my entree, I decided to go with the French mac and cheese ($12.50), since I'd never tried Boursin cheese before. This dish, which is listed as an appetizer, also included crimini mushrooms and bacon, and turned out to be more than large enough for me as an entree. I really enjoyed its flavor, which was creamy and complemented well by savory notes from the bacon and mushrooms. My friends ordered the shipwreck ($10.50) and Market Square ($11) burgers. They enjoyed them, but I can't comment on them because I didn't try them due to not eating beef.\n\nOur visit initially got off to an awkward start when nobody greeted us when upon arrival--we had to approach the bar to get seated, and menus weren't brought over for another ~10 min. However, once our waiter became aware of our presence, all went smoothly. The atmosphere is very bar-like, similar to the Market Square location. While good quality, esp. for a bar, I find the food to be a tad overpriced--fortunately, though, I had a City Dining Card, which knocked $10 off of our check. Overall, this Winghart's is pretty comparable to the one downtown, so if you enjoy that one, you should enjoy this one as well. So we were in the mood last night for some good bar food and hearing about Wingharts from a lot of people, we decided to stop in. It was about 6pm and the place was pretty empty. We grabbed a table and were greeted by a friendly bartender who brought menu's & glasses of water without even asking (Nice touch- too many places have moved away from this practice). We checked out the menu and I spied the Spinach Artichoke Dip with warm Pita's. I ordered that right away. Then we decided on entrees. I ordered the 'I Don't Care Whatever' burger and a basket of Cajun Fries and my wife ordered the Basic/Plain pizza with pepperoni. \n\nThe Spinach Artichoke dip came out first (Like it's supposed to- some restaurants just want to load your table with food all at once). THIS WAS DELICIOUS! The warm pita's were the perfect vessel to swipe up the bright green dip. I don't know what they add to the spinach & artichokes to make it a bright green but the blended flavors were delicious. This isn't the spinach artichoke dip that has cheese in it- this had cream cheese and maybe some sour cream. I would rate this right up there with some of the best Spin/Art dips I've had with Smokin Joe's being our favorite. \n\nAfter finishing every drop of dip, I was MORE than ready for a good burger. Here's when the meal went down hill. If you check my pics- my burger just didn't have the WOW factor that a $12.50 burger should. If you've ever been to Fat Heads, you know what I mean. This burger looked good but it was small, with no garnish or anything else on the plate. I mean- if that's all that's going to go on the plate- at least leave the burger 'open' with the top bun next to it so it takes up a little real estate. Something like a piece of lettuce & a slice of tomato would have gone a long way (since we taste with our eyes first). The flavor of the burger was good for it's 'smallish' size, def not worth $12.50 though. The basket of 'Fresh cut' fries were really greasy. This was due to one of 2 things- either they were 'fresh cut' that afternoon & pre-fried OR because they weren't that busy- they were cooked in oil that wasn't hot enough. Either way- they absorbed WAY TOO MUCH grease. The pizza came out flat & greasy as well (see picture). I was also confused as it looked like it had cheddar cheese on it (it was yellow!). The bartender came over to check on us & he could see that my wife wasn't happy so he took the pizza away & said he'd take it off the bill. He offered to make something else but she wasn't having it as it probably would have taken another 20 minutes and my burger would have been either gone or cold by then. \n\nOverall- we left disappointed... My dear friend Karl and I went here for dinner. We had the shipwreck burger and a great IPA. It was nothing short of amazing. \n\nKarl who was staying on in Pittsburgh went back two or perhaps three more times that week. He also took more friends there. \n\nIf you want a tasty burger -- you will find it at Winghart's. I enjoy Winghart's, but they could definitely be better.\n\nThe burgers are good and of good quality meat. I've never had a disappointing burger. They aren't the best burgers in the city, but are very good.\n\nThe beer selection and pricing is good. The whiskey selection is amazing.\n\nTheir fries are horrible. They are over cooked and over salted.\n\nOverall, I'd say Fat Head's or Smiling Moose are better for burgers. Winghart's is my choice when people want the burgers, beer, and whiskey trifecta.

Restaurent name is: Picazzo's Healthy Italian Kitchen
review: Just ate there for the first time tonight. I had the gluten free cheesy breadsticks and the gluten free meaty meaty pizza. Amazing and I'll be back there soon to try the gluten free pasta dishes. After a promising response after my previous yelp review, I was pleased to see them reaching out to reconcile the poor service I received at the restaurant. After 2 months, I have not received the alleged giftcard. Would have been nice to use that giftcard to give them a second shot, but I guess not. I always enjoy the food! I have tried everything from roasted veggies to Tiramisu & it's ALL amazing! Awesome pizza, but the most absolutely horrible delivery service. DO NOT USE THE DELIVERY SERVICE! They said one hour, after an hour and 15 minutes, we called and they said the driver was minutes away. After 90 minutes, we went to the restaurant 2 minutes away) and the pizzas were still sitting there! The delivery service had lied, we took the pizzas, cancelled the delivery via phone and they NEVER even apologized! Again, AWESOME PIZZA, terrible delivery service. UPDATE TO ABOVE REVIEW: manager of the delivery service called me a few days afterward and apologized for the bad experience and refunded the entire order total (over $120). I feel like they've redeemed themselves and hopefully will work at not having the same issues in the future. He said the problems were due to someone being accosted, so who knows. Great pizza place though. very good ingredients (organic), the pizza is tasty but priced a little on the high side. They have an extensive gluten free menu so if that's a concern this place has a lot of variety for you. If organic ingredients and gluten free offerings are not important to you then another place would probably be a better fit.

Restaurent name is: Oishii Sushi
review: Food was customer service was off the chains, and the atmosphere has a nice vibe there as well.\n\nThe food came really fast, and the decoration are very nice as well. Love the place.\n\nThe service here is also exceptional! My order had a small mix up, but it was quickly corrected. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here, and I will definitely try to go back more often. Me and some friends went here on a Friday night to grab sushi around 7pm! It was quite busy and we waited around 30 minutes to grab a table. Kinda sucks that they don't take reservations. \nWe were seated and given the all you can eat menus. Thankfully my friend use to work their so she knew to ask for their regular menus. So remember to ask for both menus if you don't want all you can eat sushi. \nThere was 8 of us at the table and our server took our orders. I really didn't like that all the food comes out at different time. 3 people got their food, and then 30 minutes went by until 1 other person for their food, and then another 20 minutes until everyone had their food. The kitchen also forgot to make 3 of the tables dishes and took another 20 minutes to get the rest of it out. Just seemed like a gong show and the food runners putting random food on our table that wasn't ours. \nWhen we did get our food tho it was excellent. \nThankfully our server apologized for us having to wait so long for our food so the whole table got Ice cream on the house which was very kind of her. \nThe food here is great but I think the service could improve! I was leery about the idea of All You Can Eat sushi with images of dried out sushi sitting out at a buffet. This is not what Oishii is about, though.\n\nWhen you sit down you are given a paper menu where you can tick off quantities of everything you'd like. There are several columns on the ordering sheet marked as Round 1, Round 2, etc as you place an order and then the sheet is brought back so that you can order more food.\n\nIndividual dishes in an order are not necessarily all brought out at the same time, but like items are grouped (e.g. all hand cones come out together).\n\nOn this visit, I tried several items:\n- tempura mixed veggies included large pieces or squash, eggplant, zucchini and broccoli. These were hot and fresh from the fryer\n- sunomono salad and kimchi: these dishes are refreshing compared to the heavier rice-based items. As the portions are small, they are nice to have with every round\n- hand cones: this was my first time having a hand cone. It was tasty, but i found the seasweed heavy at the end\n- crispy wontons: these were filled with a teeny portion of pork and served with a sweet and sour sauce, nice small portion for an easy bite\n- the rolls: I tried the tempura yam and cucumber/avocado. Both were just as good as I'd expect from a regular sushi restaurant. They were presented nicely with other rolls ordered for the table.\n\nI dined here around noon on a Saturday. During my time there, the restaurant was never more than 1/3 full. Service was prompt and friendly. The cost to eat at lunch is $18 per person. After tea, tax and tip it was less than $50 all in, less than we pay at other sushi restaurants and for more food. I'll definitely visit again. We risked it, we decided to go here tonight without being able to make a reservation, and it was completely fine. This visit was totally worth it.\n\nThis place has absolutely the best Japanese AYCE in YYC. At $27.99 for their "dinner tasting menu" we got a great selection of cold and hot items to choose from. There is also two free "chef special" items you can select with your meal as well. We laughed at how they have dim sum on the menu, and did not try it... but I\'m sure it would have been good though. \n\nAll their food was fantastic! From the simplest dishes like "sashimi salad" and "egg drop soup" you can taste the quality difference compared to other Japanese AYCE places at the same price point. Most of what we got had great plating, even my one order of takoyaki had garnishes at the bottom. I love their attention to detail here. \n\nTheir house special roll is fantastic :) it was a deep fried tempura roll with just a hint of tabasco after taste to it. Delicious! \n\nWe had to of course finish off with some sweets for dessert, they\'ve got ice cream available... which they garnish with a fried taro chip and whipped cream. Ahhhhh the simple things in life delight me.\n\nWill be sure to come back time and time again... as long as I can actually get in that is ;)\n\nP.S. They have lemon slices with their ice water :) its all about the details. I was here for lunch yesterday, but didn't have the AYCE. Instead I opted for one of the Bento boxes. I ordered the bento box with two choices, my friend the one with three choices. The meal also comes with miso soup. The two dishes sides I ordered were the Teriyaki beef, and the chicken karaage. The box was tasty, and if I had to say anything negative about it. The beef was luke warm. I would even have to say it bordered on the cooler side of luke as well.\nOn this day, it was a Wednesday they had a special if you ordered Japanese beer. I ordered the Asahi beer (Bottle). and the special this day was that you get two oysters with it. I have to say that they were pretty darn tasty oysters. They were served cold, and with a sweeter ponzu type sauce.\nThe people around us look like they ordered the AYCE, and judging by the size and look of the rolls I think I'll be back to try it.\n\nThis restaurant was the former neighborhood pub. \nI also wanted to add that upon entering the restaurant it seemed like it wasn't busy. That's because everyone was seated behind a wall by the main entrance to the left. This area was completely full. It's a big space, you can't really judge from the outside.\n\nI'll be back forsure.

Restaurent name is: Mexico Lindo
review: This is one of my favourite restaurants of all time. The food is authentic and delicious. The staff is genuine and friendly. I can't count the number of times I have visited. The prices are reasonable. \n\nThey do take out ! \n\nYou will not be disappointed if you visit. I haven't been to any other locations but the Ajax one I have heard is so far the best one. \n\nMy whole family, extended family, LOVE this place ! I had a craving for Mexican food and decided to try this place on a whim. We arrived at 730 on a Friday night, the place was full! It looked like a couple of tables were ready to leave so we waited. No one greeted us at the door the whole 25 minutes we were there. When the waitress cleaned off a table we actually had to go and ask if we can take it instead of them inviting us to sit. It's a very small place with maybe about 15 tables (all were full) so maybe they were too busy to be friendly. \n\nI ordered the chimichanga and my boyfriend ordered the chorizo tacos. The chimichanga was pretty disappointing, just meat and blobs of cheese stuffed into a tortilla and deep-fried. The meat wasn't very flavourful. The chorizo tacos were absolutely delicious on the other hand and I would recommend trying that. The diablo habanero sauce is amazing but not for the faint hearted. \n\nI would come here again when it wasn't so busy as the service was quite lacking and we had to wait a long time to get our order taken and our food. Love this place ! As soon as you walk in you are greeted by friendly staff and told you can sit where ever you like. They have tons of decorations on the walls - plastic lizards and vines and other Mexican decor which only adds to the charm and authenticity IMO. The food is FANTASTIC I've tried most of the combos. The staff is extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions. They also have deep fried ice cream! They are Definitely my go-to Mexican restaurant because of how authentic everything tastes. There are series of "Mexico Lindo" restaurants throughout Durham Region, all a little different. Someone once told me that they\'re all owned by cousins or some other family connection, but each does things a little differently. Of all of them, I think this one is my favourite. The service is prompt and very friendly, good portion sizes and delicious offerings, and you can almost forget you\'re in a non-descript strip mall of no particular import. \n\nWe went with a craving for tacos and had a great meal. Definitely worth the trip. very homely feel. owners are very kind and their taco bowls are amazingly crispy!

Restaurent name is: Sunset Bistro
review: I love this place! We always grab some good to go when in Sun City! Great food and staff. Very sweet restaurant, fairly small. We take up almost half the place when we get a table for 8, but there is a patio area. I've been here a handful of times and have had no complaints. I've got their Chicken Kabob plate and their Italian Spaghetti I would recommend them to anyone. I think all the entrees come with soup or salads. The Greek salad is definitely the one I recommend the Vinegarette they use is delicious. I have not tried any dessert yet but only because they are anything but stingy with their portions.. I always am left very full and satisfied. . . Then we always stick around for karaoke 7 to 11 on Saturday nights.. there are some very talented people that show off their vocals here. Don't miss out!\nFYI: The restaurant does not have a restroom so you'll have to take a little walk outside by Little Italy. Not too far at all Been to other Greek restaurants but none compare to Sunset Bistro for delicious food or great service. My wife & I along with friends have been here many times and we're going back today.\nWe highly recommend Sunset Bistro to anyone who likes good food and friendly service. Great little Greek Bistro in the heart of Sun City. Both the Greek salad with gyro meat and the chicken gyro were excellent. Great, friendly service!! Will definitely be going back! The Greek appetizer was also very good, a little sampling of everything. The dolmas were perfect!! The food is good here. However, there's no restroom inside the restaurant. You have to go out in the heat to a filthy mall restroom which is not air conditioned. Disgusting!

Restaurent name is: Good Taste Casserole Rice
review: This is a small restaurant inside Kennedy square plaza. I was looking forward to trying this place due to a number of good reviews. However my recent experience was very disappointing. We came for dinner around 540pm (to beat the dinner rush). We got a table right away (restaurant was 1/3 full only); but took 10min to get the menu. By then restaurant was jam packed. We were one of the first groups that submitted the order. It took OVER 45MINS to get our food. And we were told then that the complimentary soup that comes with the food wasn\'t ready for "a long time" \nRice casseroles were just ok IMO. Portion was large but mostly rice. Toppings were quite skimpy; there was way more rice than topping ratio. Soup finally arrived post our meal; and it was quite bland. It wasn\'t worth the long wait. \nOverall it was a chaotic experience; lots of frustration and long wait just for mediocre food. Likely won\'t return One of my go to spots in Markham. For 10 dollars, you get a soup, vege and the most delicious rice casserole in all of Markham (and possibly GTA, just saying).\n\n If you are not familiar, these rice casseroles are like a cantonese version of hot stone bibimbap. You gotta let the bottom and side layers of the rice get nice and crispy. I don't like eating rice at all and I really enjoy this place. Get the preserved meat and chicken. YUMZ. And the shrimp rice roll! I've lived in this area for more than 20 years and my oh my, this place makes the best casserole rice!! My foremost disclaimer is that it's not the *cheapest* price you can get it for but C'MON, let's talk about the quality here - as a specialty store, it really doesn't get better than this when critiquing reliability, flavour, and temperature. You can ALWAYS expect the rice to be cooked at the perfect temperature and for the perfect duration to get that steaming hot casserole that has only a slight crisp burnt to its edges. Not overly burnt, not undercooked, but just right. \n\nBoth the chicken and pork ribs that I've tried were juicy and tender and not to mention, infused with aromatic and savoury flavours. The complimentary soup is a bit bland by nature, but you're supposed to add a bit of salt yourself to really draw out the flavours. The vegetable side dish is a nice way to get your veggie intake for the meal and is only lightly seasoned, perfect since the casserole is flavourful enough as is. \n\nI would highly recommend you check this place out! (But beware on hot days, they don't have air conditioning and only use fans!) A small little joint that specializes in hot rice pot. For $10 you will get a good portion of the rice pot, side soup, and veggies. We ordered minced pork with salted egg and Chinese sausage on top, roasted duck with Chinese sausage and an order of beef rice noodle. The rice noodle was very fresh, the only downside to it was the soy sauce that came with it was a bit salty. Usually they would serve it with sweet soy sauce. I would recommend the BBQ pork or shrimp flavour where as the beef was literally just slices of beef that they tossed in between the rice noodle. The minced pork pot was super delicious, lots of flavour and the edge of the pot was very crispy if you like that. Adding the Chinese sausage is a plus! The duck pot I wasn't a huge fan, maybe because the duck had bones. So it was quite annoying to eat and picking out the bones. The rice was good it had a hint of minced ginger. The sides were really bland, the soup had no taste to it so you must add salt, and the veggies was pretty much just boiled. \n\nVery filling for $10 plus tax. [LOCATION] - 5/5\nThis place is located at New Kennedy Square on Kennedy Rd and Highway 7. The parking lot is huge, so you will most likely be able to find a spot at the plaza.\n\n[SERVICE] - 2/5\nVery disorganized and busy. Servers were not polite at all because there was an overwhelming amount of customers and not enough staff. \n\n[D\xc3\x89COR] - 3/5\nStandard tables, chairs, and booths. \n\n[FOOD QUALITY] - 4/5\nThe rice comes in a clay pot which reminisced high-quality & homemade bowls of deliciousness. \n\n[ORDER] - 5/5\n- Four Treasures Rice - includes preserved meat, preserved duck, eel, and BBQ pork. This medley of meats went well with one another. The clay pot made the ingredients more aromatic as it kept the rice and meat nice and hot. \n\n- Chicken & Mushroom with Rice - chicken was so juicy and succulent. Mushroom also added a subtle earthy flavour to the dish. I actually prefer this Casserole Rice over Four Treasures one because the chicken so moist, and tasted super comforting. \n\n**Casserole Rices are served with soup/Coke/Sprite and vegetables (Chinese broccoli)**\n- Soup was made with high-quality ingredients, tasted homemade with minimal or probably no MSG. Chinese broccoli on the side added lightness to the otherwise savoury and heavy casserole rices. \n\n[OVERALL] - 4/5\nSorry, the service was terrible, but the two Casserole Rices were phenomenal. As long as I'm not hangry, I will forgive poor service for a perfectly cooked meal.

Restaurent name is: Stephano's Greek & Mediterranean Grill
review: I had this for dinner and it was really good seasoned very well. I had 1 veggie 1 shrimp kabob. The plates come with salad, hummus, rice, and pitas. I had enough food for dinner and lunch. I also tried the baklava, very light and crispy, not too sweet. I would totally eat here again Been to this location a couple times now and it is delicious! Food has been consistent and fresh! I love the gyro fries. You get a good amount of food for the cost. I'm not sure if this is authentic Greek and or Mediterranean food but I like it.It's close to my house and the prices are good Great food! Fast ! Love chicken kabob Greek salad Side of spinach pie Filet kabob salad also great! I love this place! I'm so happy they opened one on the west side of town. Food is fresh and so delicious. I can't get enough of the garlic sauce! It was a hit with my kids too

Restaurent name is: Sushi On Shea
review: Pretty nice, upscale sushi place. The sushi chef was super nice, and the rest of the service was fantastic.\n\nI can't really comment on the fish, because I had some vegetarian rolls- very tasty.\n\nA little pricey, but I will most def come back! The best fresh fish in the area. Delectable sashimi and amazing service. The fish tank is a fun touch too! If you like sushi, you have to come to Sushi on Shea. I avoided this place for so long, just because I didn't like the name. Weird huh? For some reason I had it in my mind that with a name like that, they couldn't possibly serve up great sushi. But they do. \n\nThe food isn't cheap, but it isn't overly pricey either. I know they have some pretty good lunch specials as well and their cocktails are good and strong- just the way I like 'em. I thought this place was alright. If someone wanted to check it out I would go back but I wouldn't recommend it when picking a place to eat. The menu is kind of small and there is really only sushi which is fine but if you have a non-sushi eating person in the group this place would not work. \nWe went here on a sunday afternoon at noonish and stayed for quite awhile....no one else came in while we were there. This sort of freaked me out. Anyway the sashimi and sushi were fine. Nothing amazing but not bad at all. The one thing I did not like was the spicy tuna roll was pretty big. I can't stand that. Anyway, its ok. Check it out and decide for yourself. Best sushi we've had in Phoenix! Love the samba roll and the zen moment roll.

Restaurent name is: San Felipe's Cantina
review: I came out here with a group of 10 on a Saturday night. Bad Idea. I would advise anyone wanting to come here to simply walk away.\n\nDJ played a handful of music you could dance to. We requested salsa or merengue and he looked at me and said I don\'t like that so I don\'t have it. OK "DJ".. Thought it was weird to be A DJ in a place with cantina in the name and you carry no Spanish music? The place had less than 30 people in it so you would think he\'d compromise and take one for the team. Plus no one was dancing to his BS music...He was just a dude that hit play. Rant over :)\n\nThe bathroom was filthy and dirty. No toilette paper or seat covers in 2 out of 3 stalls. So gross. This place sucks and I see why it was so dead on a Saturday night.\n\nOn a positive note- Dave & Busters is right next to it! Skip this place and go there instead. That DJ in D&B played great music and drinks are better there! The bathrooms are also cleaner. The food was decent. But I was very disappointed when a member of the staff ran into my wife in the bathroom and made an unnecessary comment about her being in the bathroom. I can only assume it's a lack of education or tolerance that would make someone so that to another human! Bottom line steer clear if you are gay or transgendered! I am very shocked on the poor reviews here. I have to say our trip was GREAT! Staff was friendly and took great care of us. Drinks and food was served fast! I had the chicken fajita's and my hubby had the beef. The chicken ones are OUTSTANDING. Hands down the best I had! Hubby was jealous he didn't get the chicken. Flavor was yummy! Wish I knew what seasoning they used! \nI look forward to going back here! On Saturday February 8,2014 at 2:45 we entered San Felipe\'s restaurant at Tempe Market Place with the intention of having a drink and appetizers before a movie. It was not particularly busy and there were only seven patrons sitting at the bar.In addition, there was a bartender and what I would perceive as a bar back working the large bar. Although he had clearly walked by us two times, the bartender never acknowledged our presence. He continued to ignore us from the other end of the bar even though we were in direct line with him. Finally we caught a female server walking by and asked if she could locate someone to help us and watched her walk to the other end of the bar and speak to the bartender.Apparently that made us all the more invisible ,since he continued to ignore us and served a couple that came in at that moment.\nFinally twenty minutes later, as we were leaving, we accounted our bad experience to the young ,blonde hostess and where we received an "awww ".\nAww...not sure that I would recommend San Felipe\'s to anyone - My husband and I weren\'t sure what we wanted to do for lunch on our date day. We got out of our movie and san felipe\'s caught our eye. We asked to see the menu and while we were looking the manager came by. He talked to us about some of the favorites both his and guests. We still weren\'t sure but we were starting to want to stay. He said he was going to "bait" us and offered an appetizer on him if we stayed and had lunch. So we decided to try it out and we weren\'t disappointed. Amazing food, we both had the mini taco platter where you pick three meats and build your own taco. There was cheese, cabbage, pico, baja sauce, hot sauce, we subed the guac for sour cream and then some lime wedges. The meat was juicy, flavorful and savory. I left stuffed and satisfied. We ended up getting the queso blanco dip for the appetizer, I\'m not usually a fan of velveeta, but it was good here. I am really glad we decided to stay, and urge anyone else to try it out! Thank you Gary for "baiting" us in =)

review: Found this local gem via Groupon. The inside is small but cute...and the food is very good! We will definitely be back - and often! AMAZING!!! Our group had the brisket & havarti panini and pesto chicken flatbread. Fresh, fast, and fabulous!!! This family has perfected food! Great new restaurant. Sandwiches are super tasty. Such fresh ingredients and great crusty bread. This is my new favorite place in Scottsdale. The owners are caring and hands on. Give them a try you won't be disappointed! This is a great little Italian cafe with lots of homemade items. Now open for dinner as well as lunch. We had the lentil and soup with prosciutto. Yummy on a cold night! What a joke! Every single reviewmust be from friends and relatives I had lunch there one day last week.i had the salami and Provolone.it\nIt was just fair. Nothing special yet it was $11. It is a horrible location.they unfortunately will not be open for long.\nI. Wish them luck. But.........\n\n\nI went back on Saturday and gave this nice little place another try. His time I ordered the italian sub. Wow it was really delicious. I'm glad I gave it a 2nd chance.you will do great. Keep it up. \n\n\nDear Carlos- please read the re review. I said it was Delicious!! What's the problem?? It was like an Italian sub. I'm trying to be nice. I was a bit harsh on my 1st review.

Restaurent name is: Buca
review: Buca is an absolute gem food-wise, and the main reason why I take one star away is because I think the portions are too small for the price. I came here once in the summer and it was lovely sitting on their outdoor "patio" area which is tucked in a little alleyway. Service was pretty decent as well, they were knowledgeable and good about answering questions, of which we had many.\n\nFor starters, we ordered the nodini (warm bread knots, olive oil, rosemary, garlic) and the orrechio di maiale (crispy pig\'s ears). A number of Yelp reviews I read talked about how delicious the nodini was, and I thought it was pretty tasty, well-seasoned bread, but end of the day it was just... bread. I enjoyed the crispy pig\'s ears more, which were also well-seasoned and felt kind of like eating chips and were just as addictive.\n\nFor mains, I ordered the bigoli (duck egg pasta) and my two friends got some kind of clam pasta and the vitello da latte (milk poached veal tenderloin.) First off, I really really enjoyed my pasta - there was a good balance of savoury and sweet flavours, the sauce was very creamy (probably because of the mascarpone), and the noodles were tougher than what is typical, but not in an unpleasant way; in fact, I actually quite enjoyed the texture of the noodles.\n\nThe clam pasta wasn\'t bad, although my friend did comment that the flavour was kind of unexpected for her... not exactly the traditional clammy/seafood flavour you normally find... maybe they used a different kind of sauce? The veal tenderloin, however, was such a standout dish, it was soooooo so soft and tender. To the point where my friend called it "euphoric." \n\nWhile absolutely delicious, the portions really were not that big, so we found ourselves sharing two desserts to end off our meal - tiramisu and a pork blood chocolate tart. One of Buca\'s big things apparently is that they use unconventional and (for some) slightly frightening ingredients in their dishes, like pork blood, horse eye, lamb\'s brain, etc. The pork blood didn\'t really add any special flavour to the tart, but maybe changed the texture a little so that it seemed more gelatinous? Overall nothing to fear though. There were some nuts sprinkled on top, and the tart was very rich... something chocolate-lovers would enjoy. From what I remember of the tiramisu (clearly wasn\'t that memorable), it was good but I think didn\'t have enough bread/biscuit in it and was too liquid-y for my liking.\n\nDrinks-wise, they have some decent cocktails, mine wasn\'t memorable but my friend got one that had olive oil in it which made the texture super smooth and she loved it.\n\nMy first experience here was fabulous, and I would love to come back to try other menu items. Again, I just wish their portions were bigger because a) they\'re delicious and b) I\'m a growing woman with a healthy appetite, so Buca will definitely be more of a "treat yo\'self" thing for me rather than a regular dining spot. Food was great, service was great my only negative comment would be charging $55 for a bottle of wine that you can buy for $14.95 at the LCBO grrr. My friend and I dined here while on a business trip on the recommendation from our hotel. We were having a rough day (Uber car wrecked on our way to the airport, hotel lost our reservation) so we really just wanted some quality Italian. I ordered a Manhattan to drink, which was delicious, but problems arose once the food started to show up. \n\nWe ordered the burrata salad, which was unlike any burrata I've ever seen. Rather then being stringy, moist and slightly gelatinous, the burrata was hard and had an odd flavor to it. We sent it back. I then ordered a pizza and my friend got the halibut. The pizza was actually quite good. Good sauce to cheese ratio and quality crust. My friend's halibut, however, came out with multiple brown hairs in it. It was disgusting. He sent one back and when a second arrived we were disgusted to find another brown hair in it. The waiter handled this like a champ and was very apologetic and polite. He comped us the whole meal, but that wasn't enough to save this place from a 2/5. Buyer beware of the brown hair! Fantastic food and service. Sharing plates is the way to go, but don't fill up on dinner, since the tiramisu is unbelievable. If you've been to Rome, eaten authentic pajata (where the f&@$ are the intestines--I want to chew on a baby intestine!), know where properly prepared puntarelle are supposed to take you, this place will not be reflective of the massive hype. Sad. I'll keep looking for authentic Roman in Toronto. Open to suggestions.

Restaurent name is: Leon\xc3\xa9 Caf\xc3\xa9
review: If you want to get a great coffee, delicious food and to feel like you're in Europe, that's the place for you. Clean , well designed place with great variety of food. We stumbled onto this neat shopping center the night before and decided to return in the morning for breakfast since it was such a pleasant day. \nI had the Bonjour with English breakfast\nMy buddy had the House omelet and the girlfriend had the Champaign chicken salad. The portion sizes were big no question about that. This place was clean and service was efficient. It's a chained restaurant after all so those qualities are to be expected I suppose. Enjoyed my first experience at Leone Cafe and it definitely won't be the last. I came here after getting a haircut in the area to grab lunch. I got the Chicken caparese sandwich with balsamic glaze, the bacon, spinach cheddar quiche and a cup of the Leone Latte Especial. \n\nSandwich is grilled panini style with a good crispy in each bite. Flavors were good, decent and typical of any sandwich. I got this served with the hash brown. Potatoes shredded and browned with a tad of salt on top. \n\nThe quiche was a bit too oily for my liking. Good flavors and the crust edge is crisp and crunchy, just the way I like my quiche. Filling was what was oily, probably because of the bacon and the fat not being rendered enough. \n\nThe most memorable item for me was the Leone Latte Especial. A cup of espresso with steamed milk, cinnamon and honey. My first sip, I was surprised how well these flavors worked with each other. Usually when I drink my lattes, I don't like to stir it because of the fun designs made by the barista, but for this cup I should have because by the end of my drink, it was all honey on the bottom which was also a delicious surprise. So it's really up to you if you want to stir or not. \n\nNext time I want to come and try the desserts! I was too full to have a bite of anything else that day. Until next time. Amazing coffee!! So good I bought a pound of espresso. The turkey BLT wrap was so delicious. Only did a to-go order but the place was clean and busy. My husband was having dental work done and the receptionist recommended this place. Give it a try!! My favorite meet-up place with my friends (not my husband)...the coffee here is just wonderful and the pastries are to do for! Very classy! Highly recommend! In the heart of Summerlin at tivoli village.

Restaurent name is: Jerusalem Restaurant
review: Dear Jerusalem Restaurant.\n\nI love your falafel more than any other in the CLT... but there are a few things missing/going awry that, if fixed, would rocket you to a 5 star rating.\n\nFirst, let me just say that your falafel, in itself, is outstanding. Perfectly fried to a crisp outer shell, yet moist, herby, and soft steaminess await my bite inside. They are the Perfect Size. Don't change a thing.\n\nHowever... I need more veggies in my sammich. I realize you are a roll-up falafel joint, and I am coming to accept that that is the only style of falafel I will eat in Charlotte. But please, please, more tomatoes, and lettuce, and pickles, will round that mother out. Nothing makes me happier than hot, steamy, fried falafel perfectly complimented by crisp, cold tomato, and the bite of a piece of onion. Or cabbage. Red cabbage. \n\nAnd really, must the ubiquitous Huy Fong cock sauce make an appearance even here? Its a pho condiment. Its my favorite hot sauce in the world, but there are places it does not belong (rolled up in pita with fried chickpea balls and pickles, being one of them). Oily, high-heat, toasted chili sauce or super-potent chili paste is what I crave. \n\nYour hummus wasn't amazing, but was pleasing, and beautifully presented. The grape leaves were VERY good, swimming in an olive oil pool garnished with finely minced pickled lemon and (possibly) oregano. I'm making myself hungry, typing about them.\n\nI will soon be back to try your Ganoush. I made the trek to Jerusalem, took a risk considering it was a Sunday and a holiday weekend, but lo and behold they were open. It is a crazy little restaurant. It is a hole in the wall, dingy, needed a good scrub, but you know, sometimes the best foods are found in these kinds of places.\n\nA young man rang me up and I asked him is there lettuce and tomato on the falafel, remembering Julia S said she wanted more on her sammiches. So I was being slick and ordered extra lettuce and tomato on mine and I ordered a side of tabouli. \n\n\nJerusalem's tabouli was good, it was exactly how I like it, dry, not wet with oil and more parsley than bulghar. YUM!\n\nThe falafel I thought was average, I have had much better, but it was only $2.99, so for $3 I don't even want to complain. There was no lettuce on mine, good thing I asked for extra!!! It was garnished with tomato and pickle only. I got two sandwiches and a side of tabouli for $10. \n\nA man walked in and asked what the special was and it was rice with eggplant and chicken, it looked good, I meant to ask how much the special was, but I got so excited when he handed me my food, I forgot. Next time. A friend and I came here for dinner. The place was packed. This increased our expectations. The food was overall awful. We ordered the chicken kabob and the mixed grill kabob. The food came with salad and lentil soup. The lentil soup was the best part of the meal. I thought the soup was quite good. The kabobs were horrible. Flavorless and Bland. It did not seem fresh or even grilled. They also put some vegetables on a stick on the plate. The vegetables were not cooked. Why not put the vegetables on the grill at least. The bread was not made fresh. It is pretty much the same pita bread that you get at your local grocery store. The kabobs seems like they were fried or something. It was just overall a bad restaurant to eat at. Good "shawerma" or "shoarma" if you are european. If you like soft drinks they are by the can which can be pricey. They have hookas for rent, but ill pass on the herpes. Pretty cool place, reminds me of a hole in amsterdam. I will return. FYI, I think this placed has moved to Johnston /521 just south of Charlotte (past Autobell on the right) in Indian Land. I cannot locate a website or other listing but saw it recently put up a sign the other day.

Restaurent name is: Fresh Chef Kitchen
review: We eat here pretty often usually for quick weeknight meal. Kale salad alone adding salmon is a go too. They have different soups nightly that are great. Prices are also very reasonable. We visited Fresh Chef last night and were not disappointed. \n\nThe staff were very friendly and welcoming. The service was very good. I was impressed that all of the wait staff were involved in serving us throughout the meal.\n\nThe food was very good. We saw several different dishes that we wanted to try.\n\nWe plan on returning many times in the future to enjoy this neighborhood gem. We visited Fresh Chef Kitchen for the first time last week. We hadn't been to that location since we had a disappointing experience when it was Block & Grinder. On Fresh Chef Kitchen's website, the menu options looked good, as well as reasonably priced. \n\nFor a weekend night, it was busy, but not super busy (of course, it's been arctic cold now for a few weeks). Upon entering, we were greeted and seated right away (thankfully, away from the doorway). We noticed that the d\xc3\xa9cor seemed nicer; the colors were more inviting and warmer (and there wasn't a bright fluorescent meat case). \n\nI wanted to try the Cajun trout, but I couldn't remember if I liked trout. Our friendly server suggested the nightly special instead, which was swordfish, and they could blacken it for me. Sold! I love swordfish. It came with a choice of sides, all of which sounded good, but I went with the cilantro rice and broccoli. My partner ordered the meatloaf dinner. \n\nThe food came out amazingly quick and, like the name says, fresh. The swordfish looked like it was butterflied. It was delicious, as were my side choices. The meatloaf was a big slab of meatloaf. I tried a bite of it, too. It was moist, tender, and delicious, too. It came so quick that we were in and out of there within 45 minutes -- ha! \n\nWe'll definitely go back, though. The prices, service, and food quality were fantastic. And it's close to home! My fianc\xc3\xa9 and I stopped by for a quick lunch. We were greeted with smiles and great energy. They sat us immediately and we perused the lunch menu, which had a decent selection.\n\nI ordered the Cajun Trout. The portion of the fish was nice being that I was ravenous, however, the Trout was dry and certainly was not FRESH. The cilantro rice was meh. The pico de Gallo was garlicky and delish though, I asked for more to disperse on my food as everything else pretty much lacked flavor. Without the necessary addition of salt to awaken the notes of both the fish and the Cajun seasoning, the meal fell very flat.\n\nMy fianc\xc3\xa9 had the herb shrimp wrap which he said lacked a WOW factor. The downfall for the wrap was that the shrimp was unseasoned. He also battled with the fact that his plat was overcome with french fries. \n\nIn the end, we spoke with the manager, Frankie, and discussed our concerns with the excessive amount of fries on his plate. She was super understanding and handled our concerns with grace. She even offered us a sample of the kale salad which is soooooo yummy. I for sure recommend that. We initially stated that we would not be returning, especially because we are both great cooks and could make those meals immeasurably better at home. However, because of Frankie, we may give it another go. Great food. Nice people. Had a to go order they got everything perfect. Yelp has there phone number wrong. It is (980)430-5751

Restaurent name is: Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill
review: Still great! The guy putting the order together offered something we've never tried and it was great. Too sweet and too salty. Very expensive. Look elswhere for real mexican food. For the price, we could have gone to Casa Reynoso. Awesome great tasting food, fantastic service. I get a small cheese nachos, n a steak burrito, for free using the Groupon that expires soon in phoenix. Had a hard time deciding to pick just one meal on the menu. The employees were very friendly and raved about their personal favorite dishes. The atmosphere reminded me of chipotle but the food had much more variety/flavor. I\'ll list this place in the very rare "one star" category. My reviews are usually about food; however, this one is about service and food. \n\nFirst off, the food is a B-. I was advised to order the sweet pork burrito, which was uhhh very sweet? plus, it was pricey. The pork was so sweet that I may have been diagnosed with Diabetes. \n\nSecond, the service was poor. I am a huge fan of Chipotle and their setup of burrito construction - fast, polite workers, ability to see your options. This place is a little off because I couldn\'t see any of the extras you put in the burrito. Anyways, what did it for me was the man behind the counter. He was so rude when I asked to put lettuce in my burrito. His response was, "It wouldn\'t taste good that way." He then wrapped the burrito with only the pork and I moved on to a girl, who put my lettuce, pico on top. So weird....\n\nI will never go back, because of the rudeness. The cliche: "the customer is always right" may apply in this case? Oh well... back to Chipotle

Restaurent name is: Beijing Beijing
review: Nice, clean, reasonably priced location and food. Nice owners/servers. Great deal for lunch. Check it out. Consistently disappointing. Best thing about this place is it is close. But the Yelp definition of two stars describes it perfectly: "Meh. I\'ve experienced better."\n\nGot the take-out every few weeks for a couple of years. Did I mention it was convenient? But it was never anything special. Didn\'t poison me, but was never exciting. Eventually made to switch to a place on Ray road, and have never been back to Beijing Beijing since. Hope you find this helpful. Very unsatisfied. I will never go back to this place again and I urge you not to waste your money. Poor customer service, I called to complain about the take out I had ordered, it was nasty and I asked if I could bring it back and get my money back or they could make me something different and she said no there was nothing she could do and she told me she was the owner. She also compared returning my food like returning a car someone just bought. I have never been so angry about the way a business owner treated me. Horrible way to run a business. I dont know how this place stayed open. The last thing I ordered was horrible it was something simple that I figured couldn't be messed up: Chicken Fried Rice... the chicken was dark and hard, the taste was horrible. I tried the place again hoping for a better visit... not impressed. Simply put...I've had better. I ordered two meals with fried rice. The rice contained hard pieces that were uneatable, yuck! Crab ragoons had an imitation crab flavor and sadly to say, I think Panda Express does it better.

Restaurent name is: Mai Japanese Express
review: The service was not bad but we were one of three tables in there. We ordered sushi as an appetizer and it was fairly descent. The price fit the sushi. I ordered shrimp and salmon as my main meal and my wife ordered shrimp and chicken. The main meal was horrible. The rice is not fresh. The vegetables had a burnt taste like the grill hadn't been cleaned and the salmon was horribly over cooked and dry. The shrimp was descent but salty. My wife's plate came out with shrimp and salmon instead of the shrimp and chicken she ordered. They made her chicken and said it was ok at best. I will never eat here again and I would advise anyone else to be very wary as well.\n\nIn addition, after we told them out complaints with the food because we didn't eat most of it, they still charged us full price for it. What a nice place. The kitchen uses see through walls. So you can see what and how they prepare your food. \n\nThis place is roomy with tables and booths. They only have one small tv but it is showing kids shows. I ordered a lot of sushi but nothing remarkable. When I left I was full but I dropped $35 in the place. \n\nThis place is very homey and a place I would frequent if I were in the neighborhood. But it's not special or has anything out of the ordinary. It is a good place for a good meal. Hello all my fellow Yelpers and Sushi Buffs, this was my first night eating at this restaurant, I arrived there around 8:30pm. It was moderately full. I was seated right away. What I liked best was that you could see the cooking/prep area, it appeared well kept and well organized. I could see every piece of my food being made. I sat at the sushi bar.\nMy waitress was friendly, she smiled, checked on me and came over a couple of times to make sure I had everything I needed and last, asked me if I liked what I had. That was a plus, I tipped her. I just had water with my meal, but I started out with miso soup.Then I enjoyed a spicy salmon hand roll which consisted of two good slices of salmon, rice, cucumber, avocado and a spicy sauce that resembled hirachi hot pepper sauce but not eye watering hot. The hand roll was good and the seaweed broke off nicely with every bite. Southside roll, which was flavorless tempura salmon & cucumber, rice side out. It was creative but they could've added a little seasoning to either the fish or the tempura batter and they could've julienne the cucumbers because they were thick. Last I had the Ocean roll which was tuna, crab, roe and cream cheese deep fried & drizzled with spicy aioli. That was good. I'd get it again.\n\nOverall I liked the place, the sushi was pretty good. Also most of their rolls were under $11. I would definately go back and tell my friends to check it out. It's a nice date night place too. This is a solid go-to sushi location. I've never encountered much of a crowd here, but I've also never had any complaints about either nigiri sushi or sushi rolls. Solid 4 stars. I love it when a place has really gotten their gears greased and knows how to do their food in the most efficient manner. Mai is located in the Ayrsley shopping center - hang your first right after turning in off of Tryon. The parking lot has a weird flow to it, but it's one way and it seems to have a good amount of traffic in it. I went on a weekend afternoon so people were out and about.\n\nPromptly greeted and seated... the dining room has a lot of tables and booths in the perimeter. We didn't go at 'peak' hours, but it was nice to have a quiet dining space and attentive service, but something tells me they can move people in and out of here pretty quickly. \n\nI was craving sushi that evening and went that route, but my friend ordered a meal (salad and drink). Pretty impressed that the sushi didn't take that long to come out along with my friend's entree. One pound of wasabi and a lot of soy sauce later... I was a happy camper. I ordered the Sumo Roll, Spicy Tuna, and a Salmon roll... yeah I was a little greedy that night.\n\nOverall, I will definitely come back and try there other offerings... judging by the extensive menu (it will take a couple visits) they have a lot going for them.

Restaurent name is: Center Street Tavern & Restaurant
review: We love to come here on Tuesdays. They have awesome trivia. The food is okay & great beer specials. Great Brunch on Sunday too! I love the idea of this place and really want to like it, but it is hit or miss. We have eaten here for breakfast, brunch, and dinner and the quality of the food and service is inconsistent. They have a very nice beer selection and a nice variety of food. However, twice when we have been for dinner they were out of what I ordered which is a huge pet peeve. I recommend the pimento cheese omelet for breakfast and the pimento cheese burger for dinner (really, I'm not a pimento cheese fanatic!), but again sometimes the food is great and sometimes it is just OK. The customer service could possibly make up for this but even when they aren't busy it is often slow and inattentive. This could be a great place if they'd step up their game! Been meaning to try this place for a while and finally tonight my husband and I stopped in for dinner at the bar. The service was friendly, atmosphere was a nice surprise for such a small town and we both were really happy with our meals. We will definitely be back. A great local spot. I give restaurants a 3 strike rule, and most of the time never hit it. Well, add this one to the list. Went last sat night.\n\nStrike 1- atmosphere. I was expecting it to be a tad bit darker than a cafeteria but it was super bright in there. It didn\'t help that the light at our table was missing its cover. You\'d think a nice tavern would invite relaxation with a little dimmer lighting, but not so much here.\n\nStrike 2- Menu. Lots of choices, which usually gets a small, local place in trouble. If you no longer offer an item or something has changed, please update your menu accordingly. Gf wanted to order pork chops, but was informed they no longer offer them. I was set on the new offering of ribs and pulled BBQ chicken. When I ordered it I was informed it\'s actually not pulled chicken, but a choice of chicken breast or pulled pork. It\'s pretty simple, update your menu when things change.\n\nStrike 3- food. Gf got the salmon and said it was decent, but nothing special. I got the ribs, which were the new offering. Welp, pretty confident they were frozen ribs slapped into an oven and slathered with some grocery store BBQ sauce. If I wanted that, I\'d go down to the local grocer and spend a lot less money reheating something frozen myself. If you can\'t offer a menu with items that you make fresh, then why have a restaurant. I can play "chef" at home by reheating some frozen junk.\n\nAnyways, pretty good beer selection and the place really good be a good spot, but needs a lot of changes. Went there last night with wife and daughter. The hostess seemed put off when I asked for a table away from the door (due to the cold air).. After taking a while to decide what we wanted, the waiter informs us that the pork chops my wife wants and the rack of ribs that I want are no longer available. Note to owner: If you can't afford to print new menus then try using a sharpie to black out the items you no longer offer. What we did order was ok, but nothing special.Seriously, it shouldn't take 20 minutes to bring out 3 wraps when you are not very busy. Also, you may want to turn on the heater. Bottom line, I try to support local businesses but you need to do your part and provide an enjoyable experience. Last night you failed.

Restaurent name is: Santa Madre Taco Shop
review: Love this place. Great fish tacos, bug portions, awesome salsa bar. Only thing I would change is having rice & beans as options on the menu. Fries were super tasty though. On and did I mention the salsa? Lol! One star missing because they could have a higher fish to breading ratio. This is my new favorite place for fish tacos. The boyfriend and I went here for lunch and each ordered one fish and one shrimp taco. When you get them, they are plain - just the fish or shrimp. But then you head over to the salsa bar and add the topping that you want. \n\nI added the slaw to both and got a few sauces to try on the side - avocado, chipotle and cilantro. They also have different salsas, ranch, tartar sauce hot sauce, limes, and more so you can really customize your tacos.\n\nThe slaw was fresh and crispy. All the sauces I tried were good but my favorite sauce was the cilantro. It was creamy and not overpowering.\n\nThe tacos are pretty big, bigger than street tacos. Two were enough for me, boyfriend did go back for a third.\n\nBoth the shrimp and the fish were really good and I love that you can add the toppings that you want. I will definitely be back! After visiting TF pretty much every week, I decided it's time to update my review. Bottom line: I love this place! Make no mistake, it's a fast food restaurant in a strip mall, opposite WalMart. But remember the old sage, you can't judge a book by its cover. Same goes here! The place is clean and uncluttered, and the staff is ALWAYS very friendly and helpful.\n\nBut the food! Always fresh, made to order, and very tasty! I always order two tacos (and get one free on Tuesdays ) -- naked style, which means no tortilla. Then customize to my liking at the excellent salsa bar. Amazing flavor combinations are possible! Be sure to try the chipotle and the cilantro sauces.\n\nCheck out my photos for many examples of what can be created. Today I decided to avoid the fried choices, and went with two Fish Machaca tacos - naked style, of course! Omg this place is sooo good!! Their carne asada is so good. Their chipotle salsa is so good! Their guacamole salsa is so good!! Their fries are to die for!! Their Santa Madre quesadilla is so good! Get any of what I mentioned and you will not be disappointed!! Went to tortilla fish after receiving a coupon... WOW! What a pleasant surprise! The fish and shrimp tacos are amazing, and so is the salsa bar and staff!! Will most definitely return!

Restaurent name is: Blackfoot Truck Stop Restaurant
review: Terrible service! I sat down (sign read seat yourself). I took a phone call as I sat down so I know I\'m not being dramatic when I say I waited 10 minutes with no sign of a server. I went to the counter and asked if I should order there since I saw people going up to pay.. The server at the till snappily told me my server would be around soon. (I am a server myself, and I understand that sometimes you get busy and can\'t get to a table.. but this restaurant was far from full) So I sat back down.. As I was waiting a gentleman sat down next table over.. I had been waiting 20 minutes at this time, when the same server that I had spoken to earlier goes to the gentleman and says "I\'ll be with you in just a second".. not even glancing at me.. knowing full well I had still not been served. Terrible service and will not be returning. It\'s a shame because this place is a 3 minute walk from work and I would definitely have been going there often. Without the Blackfoot Diner there would be many nights where I would have gone home drunk, hungry and alone. Thank goodness they're 24hrs.\n\nThe menu is classic diner fare, burgers, fries, shakes, steaks, hot turkey sandwiches, all day breakfast and home made pies.\n\nAlways check for the specials too.\n\nThe waitresses are an always sweet bunch, decked out in pink scrubs and ready to take your order.\n\nIf the model train isn't running when you come in, if you ask nicely they might turn it on for you.\n\nI've had many memorable meals here (though the circumstances that lead me to eating here at 3-4am shan't be mentioned) with friends and even family and everyone left happy.\n\nWho, after all, doesn't appreciate good, honest food at fair prices? Located right off 17ave, the Blackfoot Truck Stop was an A+ alternative to any chain diner. \n\nTheir burgers and shakes are great, but in my last visit I discovered how amazing their baked beans and bacon are. It's sweet with a touch of salty complimented with huge chunks of bacon! The menu price always guarantees a huge meal under $20\n\nThe service has always been great considering my previous interactions with servers at other late night diner locations was like interacting with a reanimated corpse. Bite me they will not!\n\nThe restaurant decor is subtle but densely interesting. Theres a train set that quietly circles the dining room, but spends most of it's time in suspended animation. I like the George Burns movie poster right by the washroom. It seems like even after 100 visits, there is always something new to see inside this place. However, the parking lot is chaotic, cars are lined up like toppled toy blocks. I almost nailed some strange low cement post whose purpose still eludes me. milkshakes------ AWESOME! love butterscotch\nfries---------------AWESOME!\ngravy-------------awesome!\npork chop dinner--awesome!\noverall-------------------AWESOME!\ngotta check it out. the price are so reasonable, the pork chop dinner is like $14 \ndidnt even have time for dessert coz we are so full.... Heard so much about this place, but I'm afraid it was far from fabulous. We were served quick, but then forgot about. The eggs Benny were sub par. Not sure what the hollandaise sauce was made of, but it wasn't eggs! Sort of a white, tasteless gravy. The hash browns were mush in my mouth, and looked seriously unappetizing. \n\nThe decor is so over-the-top tacky, but goes with the territory. Definitely get what you pay for; cheap, and pre-made/packaged. Might go back for a burger, but breakfast was blah!!

Restaurent name is: H2O Poke & Sushi Burrito
review: It's a new poke place in front of Hard Rock Cafe next to Checkers. I had the poke bowl and it was really different from other poke craze happening in town. They have ingredients like mango, tangerine orange, asparagus. Strangely these ingredients works really well together. \nThey also have fish grill, I didn't order this time but for sure I will try it next time I come, it's good for people who can eat raw fish.\nThe hand crafted ice tea was really cool, they give you the mason jar to take home. First time visit and this is going to be my new go to for poke bowls and sushi burritos. \n\nPleasantly surprised by how fresh all the ingredients are. We got a bowl and a burrito and both were constructed very well. Mixing the siracha aioli and their signature H20 sauce was delicious. They also have poke tacos! Would definitely recommend! I've never had a Mexican burrito before but this was a great place to try it out. It was so good I'm on my way back to try the bowl! Amazing Another Poke spot? Before coming to H2O I thought I already had my favorite poke spot, but the simple customizable options of H2O makes new spots worth trying.\n\nMy stomach was telling me to go with the Poke Bowl ($10), instead of the Sushi Burrito ($8.50). When ordering the bowl, the friendly staff standing opposite of the counter puts it together. Through the glass you see the all the ingredients laid out and it starts with:\n- Base: Salad, Green Tea rice, Sushi rice\n- Protien (choose three): tuna, spicy tuna, salmon, shrimp, albacore, scallop, or octopus\n- Flavor: H2O Sauce, Yuzu, Sriracha Aoili\n- and a bunch of Fruits/Veggies/Toppings, I went with Mandarin Oranges, Cucumber, Corn, Masago, & Seaweed Salad.\n\nEven though I chose a salad base, it still filled me up - the whole thing was generously proportioned, imo. My only concern is that the seafood is out in the prep area and I don't know if it's refrigerated or replaced regularly. Doesn't fish spoil sooner if not at the proper temperature? I'm not too worried because I ate it last night and I'm still feeling great about it. *thumbs up* \n\nGreat portions, flavorful sauce, and the ordering process make H2O a great stop for a quick meal. Next time, I'd like to try out their sushi burritos. Lunch for 2 for under $25 in Vegas, awesome! The food was fresh and very tasty! 3 proteins in Poke!!! So much food I wasn't able to finish my bowl. Next time you are in Vegas head a bit off the strip for some awesome Poke!

Restaurent name is: Cortabella's Italian Eatery
review: Our first time here! I had the calzone and it was great. The sausage was just a little spicy, the way I like it. The marinara dipping sauce was very nice. My mom had the lasagne and it was very authentic Italian cuisine! The service was great... Our waitress (Sara) was very personable. We will be back!! Average at best. I'm a pretty normal size guy why could I not reach the back row of the salad bar at all. I dropped most of the topping on the table before I could make them to my plate. I got the chicken Alfredo from the pasta bar it was okay the chicken had a weird taste though. Will probably not go back would rather just go to firehouse next door. Cortabellas is adjacent to the Firehouse Restaurant and also the Venue Banquet facility. Salad Bar is varied and although the reach to the back of the salad bar is difficult at best. The blue cheese dressing is the best. \n I have been here about 4 times in the last 3 months and have had mixed reviews each time. One of the constructive suggestions I would have for management is to reduce the amount of salt used in the soup and the sauces. It has been overpowering to disguise inherent lack of flavor I presume.\n The complimentary breadsticks are very good and overall the service has been good. \nThe weekly specials and the happy hour specials keep folks coming back. I like to support local businesses over chains whenever possible, and always peek in this restaurant when I go to the Firehouse. Finally decided to try it tonight, and very happy we did so! We started off with the house Merlot, which was delicious and priced well for a bottle. I ordered the chicken Parm and my boyfriend had the margherita baked pasta. Both were cooked perfectly with fresh pasta and cheese and delivered hot out of the kitchen. Portions are very big, making the reasonable prices even more worth it. Breadsticks with oil were fresh out of the oven, too. Not a single thing to complain about. Service was excellent and our waitress was very attentive, even taking extra care because we said we'd never been. Would have liked to try their dessert to round out the visit, but no room! We will definitely be returning in the future when craving Italian. Nice atmosphere, good service, and great food. I'd definitely rather spend my money here than another Olive Garden or Spaghetti Warehouse! We decided to try this place out a few weeks ago. The food was pretty good but the portions were enormous. We took almost all of our food home because we were stuffed! Salad/pasta bar looked great but we passed bc we wanted to eat our actual meals. Server was pretty decent. He didn't know much about the menu or specials but was entertaining. Prices are very reasonable! Nice local restaurant

Restaurent name is: Finz Raw Bar and Grill
review: Have to agree with other recent reviews. \n\nWent here either December or October 2014. Pretty good joint.\n\nReturn visit in May 2015 ... WOW. The 45-minute wait for food is no joke. They were actually out of bacon for the bacon cheeseburger, but didn't cut me a break on price. The fries came 5 minutes after the burger arrived. The soft drinks were flat - you know, like an open two-liter three days later.\n\nI'm puzzled how this joint hits the skids so hard. It wasn't just me. The 4-person party next to us waiting 5 more minutes than us - and they ordered earlier. \n\nLook at the recent reviews before going. The reviews from a year ago were probably right ... for that time. This place is fading fast. Shame. I read all the reviews after my girlfriends decided to drag me out to see a Band last night. The place was not packed so parking wasn't an issue (we got there around 8:30pm but it was Good Friday after all). \n\nNo meat so we he had the veggie platter with hummus, coconut shrimp with spicy orange dipping sauce, fried calamari with an asian chili type sauce, crab meat stuffed mushrooms. \n\nI have to say the food was excellent! Portions split amongst us were perfect, this is not your typical bar food. In fact, if you've ever been to Bonfire in Monroe while its a lot bigger - the food here at Finz is head and shoulders above them, and I know my food at every level :) Bonfire I'd pass on sorry. \n\nBathrooms are very clean, the bar itself and tables are as well, and the Waitress we had was a sweetheart! Loved her, very attentive. The prices were perfect! Nothing broke the bank, which is why we were able to get a bunch of appetizers and sample a nice variety of picky foods! Great menu!\n\nSaw kids leaving around 9pm with parents so there are high tables to eat at. I know you can book parties there, they apparently have two tonight per the waitress. I'd absolutely consider it for a party esp. with bands like Smiling Dogs or SugarSmax. \n\nAll in All, if you want a nice night out with friends, able to see and hear a band from anywhere in the bar (by the way they were not so loud that you left with a headache like Skinnyz). Apparently they have an outdoors area that we will definitely be back this summer to try out. LOVED the band, hope to see another tonight, you can't beat free as in no cover charge (please don't change that!) and close to home. \n\nI think we'll try the burgers tonight to see how other items on the menu are but kudos to the chef there. The salads that walked by looked awesome too. \n\n*Note: we wanted the Caprese Skewers but they were out of Mootz :( and I saw someone walk by with a pizza that looked just a littttttle too dark, but still give them four stars, we are fans and will be back. \n\nYou have a winning mix there, don't change anything! A great place to watch the game while having an affordable drink and enjoying great food. The food in particular is much better than you would expect from a normal neighborhood bar. Be careful though, the owners, staff & customers are really friendly; you could find yourself hanging out here a lot. Terrible service!!! The bartender acted like she was doing me a favor getting my food from the back. Will never go back!!! My wife thought of a great idea to grab some carb legs for my birthday so she found Finz. Upon arriving we knew it was an old Vinnie's which at times could be sketch. Upon entering you could tell this was not a normal restaurant because of the seating set up, not really a separation between the bar and the dinner tables.\nWe were greeted as we entered and led to a table of our choice. Waitress was great and was pretty attentive. The food was good, definitely worth the prices which are decent. I ordered the Crab Legs my wife got the Steam Pot, My Step Father got the Peel & Eat Shrimp and my mother got the Shrimp and Scallop Pasta. All dishes were great except the Shrimp and Scallops were a little over cooked but the Pasta sauce was great. \nNow the bad, shortly after arriving and enjoying our Spicy Honey Shrimp App (Not SO Honey) there was an altercation between the Lady working the bar and a So Called Patron that apparently spends 8K a year there, ha ha. The young lady decided to curse loudly at the man and hit him with her purse as he tried to defend himself and get very loud. There were kids there and this was around 7:30 which is normal for a Friday night dinner. After the families cleared out and the night went on the patrons who were regulars began to conversate about the incident with major profanity laced statements. As a first timer I could not believe their was a manager there to handle the incident and take care of the language as folks were enjoying dinner. Better management is needed. \n\nI agree with other folks the food is good but the regulars are not so welcoming. Unfortunately you cannot pick your customers but customers can pick their place to eat. I suggest if you are a family stick to weekdays maybe but FINZ is not a Grill more of an bar with good food. \n\nI will say that our waitress did apologize for the actions of the bar tender but other than that nothing was done to cater to the guest who were trying to enjoy dinner.

Restaurent name is: Siam Garden
review: My favorite Thai restaurant in Vegas! Great food, friendly and prompt service. The first time I tried the place, I ordered the spicy eggplant with tofu, one of my favorite Thai dishes. The lady was SO friendly, she makes the experience worthwhile. But when i tasted the food, there was no flavor at all. It was very disappointing. I decided to give them another try so I ordered the phad Thai which is a more simpler and popular dish, hoping that it would be better. It was a little better, but the chicken had no flavor at all. The noodles had good flavor, however. My friend really enjoyed her Thai tea but they all said the same about the chicken, it really had no flavor. This place isn't bad, but it's not anything special. Good Thai food, homey ambience and very affordable. They cook the food from scratch with the customer's satisfaction in mind. They are usually busy between 12-1pm. It is a hole in the wall place. Not fancy but the food is just delish! A great little spot. The server is super sweet. We have eaten here twice now and pleased both times. \n\nCustomers really are at the heart of this place. Their walls are covered with photos of the customers. \n\nToday we were the only customers when we came in. We were talking amongst ourselves that we were a bit chilly. The next time the server came, she asked if we were cold and she turned down the ac for us! \n\nThe food comes out quickly and is very yummy. Not to mention their prices are super low. \n\nWith a salad order and two entrees my boy friend and I walk out completely stuffed and a bill of just under $25. \n \nThey have a very wide spice scale\nRegular 1-5\nExtra 6-15\nPlus extra spice on the side. \n\nI love spicy food so even with a 15, I still add more spice. \n\nDefinitely coming back again. This is my favorite Thai restaurant in all of Las Vegas! I will drive 30 minutes from Henderson to come eat here. The food is delicious and fresh and the service is great. The prices are very reasonable too, especially for lunch. I highly recommend!

Restaurent name is: Nathan's Famous
review: I've had Nathan's dogs at Coney Island and that was yonks ago. I don't think I'll be going back out there anytime soon so in the meantime, these dogs will have to do.\n\nWe've come back here several times to get snacks whether it be an early or a late snack there is always a line at this location. I guess if you're staying in the hotel then it just makes sense to go to this place.\n\nI agree that the buns aren't so great and if the dogs were thicker it would be even better. However, nothing comes close to the snap of the Nathan's hot dogs and even though most of the time I try to resist these dogs so I can eat somewhere else, I end up having a bite or two of the dog. Their fries are seriously addictive, but I must say, it's damn expensive for what you get.\n\n3.5 stars We wanted something "light" for dinner. With 5 fast food restaurants in the food court there wasn\'t a large selection to have a lighter meal. So we had salads at Nathan\'s. Given that Nathan\'s is a hot dog joint, the salads were surprisingly good and hit the spot.\n\nThe process is to order then they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. I guess it comes in handy if it gets really crowded but it wasn\'t so that seemed like a waste of time.\n\nThe bacon cheese fries were also good (OK, so I didn\'t entirely go light) but the bacon was overly smokey tasting. Next time it will be cheese only.\n\nOverall not a bad choice given the selection of restaurants in the food court. Extremely disappointed with this place. I've always dreamt of trying a Nathan's Famous hot dog after seeing the hot dog eating contest as a kid. First thing is the price is absurbly high. I understand it's on the strip in Vegas but compared to the original one in New York, its noticeably higher.\n\nAlso the worker here was extremely incompetent. I ordered a chili hot dog with a side of fries and for whatever reason the guy taking my order kept repeating chili cheese hot dog with chili fries. I had to constantly repeat my order to him (note I was very sober) but he kept adding on cheese to my hot dog and chili to my fries. I ultimately gave up and handed him my card. Somehow my hot dog came without cheese. \n\nThe food itself was very average, but for the experience and service, I couldn't give this place above a 1 star. So, I've never had authentic Nathan's and, based on reviews, wish I'd had the opportunity to try it before this Vegas excursion. But if you just want a chili cheese fry and a hot dog with relish, ketchup, mustard and onions, Nathan's at MGM is sufficient. The food was fast food good. But they did mess up the order which should have added chili and cheese to the dogs. Mind you, I'm a burger and fry freak who does triathlons at the Iron distance so I don't take my cheat meals lightly. And I was more than happy to gobble down this hot mess before moving on to the next adventure. Just tried a footlong hotdog and it was so good. It had sauerkraut ketchup and relish. It was really good and the French fries were really good too. The price is very reasonable too. Good bang for the buck. \n\n\n\n\n\nHad pancakes here this morning. They were good and my husband had a breakfast sandwich and he enjoyed it too. Not bad for a fast food

Restaurent name is: Five Guys
review: For some reason the food wasn't as good here as I remember at other Five Guys. Too much grease, not enough flavor. The fries had way way too much salt. Maybe it was old... I stumbled upon this place while looking for the CVS. I am not prone to go for a burger joint, but it was late and I was hungry. \n\nI ended up ordering the grilled cheese. What?! At a burger joint? Yes, I know. I also ordered the fries -- the Cajun fries. \n\nFive Guys is very generous with their fries. Like, seriously. Which is kind of nice because after eating the serving from the designated cup, I still had some at the bottom of the bag. Ah, bliss. \n\nThe Cajun spice was nice -- and not at all overdone. These are not the type of fries that cause your lips to curl into your mouth. Not salty, but spice-filled. But not hot, for those of you concerned about too-spicy food. \n\nBut this is the kind of food that leaves you feeling guilty after eating it -- but not in that slimy, greasy kind of way. Just in the overindulgent kind of way. Maybe it was the fries. \n\nThe grilled cheese was nicely...well, grilled. And there was a hint of something I could not figure out. Something slightly sweet either in the cheese or in the sourdough. I couldn't figure it out. It wasn't like straight sugar -- maybe cane sugar or brown sugar slipped into the dough? Very tasty. But, funny: The sandwich was rather small. Smaller than a fist. But, all the same, it was delicious and, along with the fries, quite filling. The power of customer service. I'm in Charlotte for a week during a conference. After being in classes all day I dont have much desire to go out and sit down in a restaurant. I just want to grab something quick and go back to the hotel. Five guys is located in the epicenter area of charlotte. Its on the second level. There is no street parking and you must walk or use the parking that costs money from epicenter. I went in around 5pm and it was not really crowded. There was 3 or 4 other customers. I was greeted right away by the employee working the register. I believe his name was Billy. He was a great employee. He was happy and joking around and made the experience fun. He was knowledgeable about the food and made suggestions. The restaurant was clean and so were the restrooms. \nI ordered a little cheeseburger and it was hot and made fresh while I waited. The fries were also hot and fresh. You can also snack on peanuts while you wait. I'd go back here just for the good customer service if nothing else. Try it out. Worst Five Guy's ever!\n\nWe walked in yesterday ( Thursday at 9:30) for a quick bite before our movie. Ordered the veggie sandwich and small Cajun fries. The sandwich itself was mediocre, not bad . But what really brought this experience down was the service. I've never seen such uncaring Five Guys cools. Three people including myself asked for more fresh ketchup as the dispenser was empty. The three cooks just said oh there are packets on the side as well. They even removed the dispenser after a fourth person asked! I also noticed my Cajun fries were regular fries so I go up to the counter to ask for the Cajun fries I ordered. Instead of giving me seasoned fries, the cook pulls out a bucket of Cajun seasoning and hands it to me as if to say fuck off and do it yourself. On top of that, the fries were completely undercooked. For the first time in the history of my life..I THREW AWAY FRIES. (I know, it's like the Luke, I am your father reveal) I love my fries but I just couldn't put myself to finish them. \n\nBottom line, don't come here! The crazy thing is that Five Guys is always great and consistent, no matter where I get it. It is currently 1:53AM on a Saturday night and this particular Five Guys is closed. Its very disappointing when it's advertised to close at 3AM

Restaurent name is: SOL Mexican Cocina
review: The food was good, but there wasn't much variety on the menu. Nearly everything was a taco... taco with shrimp, taco with beef asado, taco with pork...\n\nLettuce and tomato is pretty shy, and you also have to order guacamole on the side. Otherwise you get an avocado puree instead. I wouldn't turn away an invite to eat there, but I wouldn't crave it. I wish I could convey how delicious the Mexican corn is here. You will just have to try it for yourself. Amazing!!!! I also ordered the Taco Vampiro (carne asada) and the Shrimp Dorado taco. Both delicious as well. The food is a little on the pricey side but well worth it. Very flavorful and the meat was so tender. Love this place!!! We have been here twice and the food is always amazing. Their tostada chips and salsa are the bomb! Margaritas are really good, especially at Happy Hour prices. Went there last Tuesday and they had live music. Very good and entertaining. Ambiance and decorations are top notch. Very good service. The food here has been top notch every time. Not a place to grab a quick bite, but the atmosphere and food are worth it. Pricing is right in line with most other sit-down Mexican restaurants.\n\nTheir chorizo cheese dip is great and so are the Tortas. During a recent trip to the area my boyfriend and I had no idea what would be good but we both wanted Mexican food and this spot looked good so we decided to eat there. The restaurant itself was spacious but not cavernous and was attractively decorated. The hostess was sweet and our server Joel was excellent. They served black beans instead of salsa with the chips which were v delicious. We ordered shrimp taquitos, quesadillas, and one of the specialty tacos as well as a watermelon margarita. Everything was suuuuper good and the service was outstanding.

Restaurent name is: Charanda Mexican Grill & Cantina
review: We just discovered this place... it's the best Mexican food around!! Fresh, tasty ingredients, friendly service (thanks Mario!), reasonable prices, generous portions... this place is what you're looking for, I'm telling you :-) I don't know what all the bad reviews are about, I have ordered take-out from this place twice in the last week and the food is fresh and tasty and lots of food for the $$$. You know Mexican food isn't going to be very authentic when you enter a restaurant and all of the employees are Caucasian. Our server was friendly and bubbly, but she put my order in wrong and they forgot part of my wife's order. The food was less than average, watered down Americanized Mexican food. If you've had any of the similar chains in Charlotte like Azteca or Zapata's, those are much better. The food at Charanda didn't taste much different than Mexican food I've made at home, and that's not saying much. Ate out on the patio tonight, beautiful night but the service SUCKS out here!! \nThought for sure wouldn't be forgotten with the other tables but YEP slow to bring things.\nAsked for queso dip but didn't get till the meal arrived.\nOrdered a build your own combo dish with tostada....was tasty but soggy! What's the point of a tostada if you have to eat it with a knife & fork?! \nNext time will go back to sitting at the bar! I have eaten here quite a few times and the food is good. The 2 stars is because they no longer have limes!(trying to get a response) I ordered a margarita (ultimate which was very good) and when I asked for a lime the bartender said they had stopped ordering them because they were too expensive! Now granted this didn't make or break my meal but that was one of the strangest things I have heard. It wasn't like it was $2 margarita night ($9 to be exact) Hopefully someone in management will see this and respond. If you like a lime with your margarita or your Mexican beer you may want to pass until they they make a better business decision

Restaurent name is: El Pollo Loco
review: My favorite fast food! I can eat it without that gut bomb feeling you get after most drive thru's. The staff is always friendly, the food hot and spicy! Plus I love the avocado salsa and the new corn cake is yum! Never thought I would look forward to eating fast food, but I do! It was well before ten minutes before close and they had already locked doors and closed the drive thru. When we pulled up to the window they said they already put away their food and they "had" to close early. Wow. Way to follow your business hours. Quality of service has gone down lately. \n\nMost recent visit ordered Dr Pepper and a Lemonade by when we got to the window they were out of every syrup but cherry coke and tea. \n\nFood took a really long time and we waited at the front in a parking spot for ten minutes. The avocado salad had no avocado in it. The tacos were filled with some liquid that didn't seem to belong. The rice was chewy verging on crunchy. \n\nThe redeeming item was the stuffed quesadilla, although pricey, it was full of flavor and meat. It saved the evening and we will get it each time. \n\nHave had a few bad experiences and long waits. Will try again soon to reevaluate. Two stars since it was fast and efficient. I order the corn chowder. Too salty and Bland, hardly any corn and no corn flavor. Will not go back I have eaten at this El Pollo Loco ever since they opened back in 2008. I like this location much better than the one that is off Thomas Rd (4102 E. Thomas Rd) . The Mesa location is much bigger and newer which means it is cleaner. The staff during the day is friendly and your food order is called out within 10 minutes or less after you order. I enjoy a restaurant that serves up fresh bbq chicken that is not fried. I recommend the avocado salsa which is mild in heat but is packed full of flavor. It adds a nice touch to the charbroiled chicken!

Restaurent name is: Mac's Broiler & Tap
review: Yup, won't be back. After waiting 15 minutes to take our order, then 30 minutes for our food after that, the food was average. Then we waited another 15 minutes to get our check. Had high hopes for the place. Mac's is the true example of a place to go if one is looking for great customer service, very friendly staff, tastey craft beers, well prepared food, and just an all around amazing experience. Hanging out with the chill and relaxed neighborhood gang having great discussions while the mild rock and roll tunes play in the background is one of my absolute favorite things to do a couple times a week. Cooks are ultra slow. I could have went into the kitchen to expedite food prep. I have worked at major resorts and restaurants who seat 1,500 a night. The cooks had no clue what they were doing. The bartender was minor league. 2nd time was a charm. 1st time was not too great but we give every place a second chance! Glad we did. Food was great and service was great. Adrienne was our server and she was awesome! We will be back!! Another establishment where you kinda have to question the sanity of a negative reviewer. What is not to like about Mac's? Sometimes they are understaffed, which can be a bummer if you're hungry. Aside from that, their food is top notch (for a bar/grill), the environment is warm and friendly, and the drinks are always good and cold. Try the cajun shrimp appetizer or the spicy roast beef sandwich. Hell, even the chili is great, especially paired with a frosty Odell IPA. I could probably eat here three to five times a week if Providence allowed. Support your local family eateries!

Restaurent name is: The Landmark Restaurant
review: Can you believe 1 1/2 hour wait for food? We were the only table without food and no staff came to check on us or to offer an explanation or even a "we"re sorry" drink. When I finally found a manager and complained, I was told that "It\'s coming". If it had been just my husband and me, we would have left at that point but we had guests. The waitresses all appeared to be hard-working but with no management visible or guiding them. When we finally got food, it was average in taste and presentation.\nSG My family had a wedding luncheon here yesterday. The waitstaff was pretty attentive, no complaints there.\nThey have a good little salad buffet with quirky things like quail eggs, pickled watermelon, and spiced apple rings. They also have all the regular salad bar favorites.\nThey have a good entree menu as well.\n\nThere are some logistical issues with this building, though. It's a remodeled church, so there are some space problems, especially in the salad bar area. It's a bit like the salad bar ho-down and square dance, if you know what I mean. There is also a rather large flight of stairs that must be traversed to get from the banquet area to the salad bar. I wonder how many times they have to mop food up off the carpet on those stairs....\n\nAnyhow, fun little place. Quirky, but fun! **This one-star rating is based solely on the service provided & not the food.**\n\nLast week, my husband & I went to The Landmark to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We were very disappointed with the service we received from our waitress, Linda H.. Instead of just apologizing & resolving things, she made excuses for everything. For example, another waitress took our drink order & I just ordered water with no lemon. Our waitress, Linda, brought out our drinks & I noticed that my glass was dirty. I pointed this out to her & asked her for a new one. Her response, as she was taking my glass, was "I didn\'t pour the drinks, I just brought them out." Basically saying, it wasn\'t her fault that I got a dirty glass. She didn\'t apologize for it either. Another examples - I was in the salad room when she brought my new water (with lemon, this time). My husband was at the table & just took the lemon off the glass and put it in his. Linda got defensive & said, "She didn\'t order it with no lemon." My husband simply replied, "Yes, she did." Next example - I just ordered the salad room & my husband ordered an entree plus the salad room. Linda brought out his entree & I was surprised to see it because she hadn\'t brought out the sherbet yet. I commented about that &, again, we got another excuse. She said "You threw me off by ordering just the salad room because sherbet doesn\'t come with that." as she\'s standing there with an entree in her hand, knowing that sherbet comes before the entree. She gives my husband his entree & then comes back a few minutes later with the sherbet. Next up, I was in the salad room & she came by to ask my husband if we\'d like dessert. He told her we\'re planning to get shakes at Sonic afterwards. And Linda responded with, "Oh, you should\'ve went there for dinner." (as opposed to coming to The Landmark...thanks for making us feel so welcome, Linda.) My husband told her it\'s our 10th wedding anniversary & jokingly said that he didn\'t think I\'d appreciate going to Sonic for our anniversary dinner. When it came time to pay, Linda brought our bill & I gave her the Living Social voucher. I said "Sorry, I probably should\'ve given this to you sooner, before you brought the bill." (so that she didn\'t have to make an extra trip to re-ring the total) & she said very snidely, "Yes, you should\'ve. Actually, when you ordered." And lastly, we were one of the last few customers in the restaurant at this time & as I\'m walking out (literally already halfway across the dining room), Linda yells across the room & says "Have a good night. Happy Anniversary." There was absolutely no professionalism to the service she provided. She made us feel unwelcome & made it obvious that she didn\'t care about providing a positive dining experience for us. We were extremely disappointed in her & the service we received. We know this is not typical of the staff there as we have dined there many times before. Linda is a very poor example of the kind of service any wait staff should provide to their customers. Susan and I went there for lunch today to try someplace different. We were very impressed. We both had the stuffed meatloaf and would definitely go back for it again. Service was terrific. Prices are reasonable. The wine selection could use some improvement or I would be giving it 5 stars.\nThe building is really neat and seems to attract a lot of seniors. We didn\'t try the famous "salad room" but it looked like almost everyone else was. I came here for dinner a couple weeks ago. It was AWESOME and the dinner salad room was amazing. Really loved the quality of food, service and I thought the price was very reasonable. I will come here again FORSURE!

Restaurent name is: Badao
review: overall very disappointed and most likely wont return again..1.superrrrr small portion compare to most noodle places--their bowls are super wide but very shallow..can finish the small ones in 4-5 mouthful; 2. ordered the spiciest one but not spicy at all; 3. chef probably forgot to put salt; 4. on the pricy side considering the portion; 5. not many selection on menu.... Mistakenly walked into this place instead of the ramen beside it. It's a cute place for just noodles. There are two levels, we sat on the second level; which was pretty cozy. I felt bad for the waiter have to go up and down for orders, drinks, refills. They need to manage that better for employees and customers as sometime there's no one serving due to waiter is busy downstairs. \n\nI like the noodles; the texture is good, better than most noodle place. The broth and varieties will need improvement; not much choice, they are pretty spicy even for least spicy and they somewhat taste the same, just different toppings. We ordered the cucumber and beef (Don't remember) appetizers. They are pretty good! The small size for noodle is relatively small imo for its price. I have to get two smalls which is more or less equivalent to a large in price and quantity. \n\nWe wanted some dim sums. But they were sold out. Either they are very popular or they are under prepare. A little bit disappointed. \n\nI am unsure if we will go back. But it's something to try once at least! Excellent Ramen and very professional service. \nI took a Very very very spicy Ramen with beef. it was delicious! I recommend! This was the first place I went to my first night in Montreal. We wanted to go to some place close to our hostel and this place caught our eye. I got a noodle broth bowl with spare ribs. The server told us that they had a discount for that dish today, which is why I ordered it. The food came out almost instantly which surprised me. We also got a complementary tiny salad and a cup of tea with our order. The one thing that I would criticize was that the cup they gave us for water was really tiny. The dish I got was relatively spicy which meant that I needed a refill pretty routinely, but the server wasn't always readily available. The food overall was pretty good and for the price I think it was well worth it! This place serves great noodle soups, I came here for lunch and I will come back for dinner today! I will update with pictures this evening! Definitely worth a try, it just opened!

Restaurent name is: Gangnam Sushi & Grill
review: Really awesome place. Having moved down from Flagstaff where there was only one Korean BBQ joint, I was excited to try out new places. I'm gonna be honest, realizing just how close this was to campus put me off for whatever reason; I was expecting a very limited menu with mediocre food but this was the opposite! I had the bulgogi bibimbap (a dish that I've had many a time and I'm admittedly kind of picky with) and it was really delicious. My sister had a tofu soup and bulgogi and both dishes were really good as well. If you're a student, near campus, or need a bite to eat before catching Pokemon at Tempe Town Lake, I'd definitely stop in here. This place has a GREAT happy hour menu! I got seaweed salad for $2.00 and miso soup for only $1.00! Perfect way to start my meals! The ambience of this place was neat kind and is a hidden treasure! This inside of it and employees set a welcoming tone, so thank you! The sushi overall here was good but not great so that is why I only gave it a 4 Star! It could've been what I choose to eat but one day I will be back to two others on the menu! Thanks again! Best Korean food I have had in Phoenix so far. Portion size matches price. Don't drink the tap water, typical Tempe trash taste. Quality of meat could use an upgrade. Pretty good chirashi bowl here. While served in a more fusion slanted bowl, the contents were a plenty. A good selection of sashimi pieces and some seaweed salad. The sashimi tasted fresh and overall good. I particularly liked the variety of seafood items selected for the bowl and I closed it out for myself with the tomago. This is by far my favorite sushi place in AZ.\nThe same sushi chef has been here since the first time I ordered and the sushi comes out very consistent and delicious.\nI've eaten their traditional, specialty, handrolls, and even sashimi salad and they were delicious.\nThey also have other Korean dishes which I've had a few of and they were really good too.\nIt is just too hot in AZ to order the Korean soups but their meat dishes are great too.\nIf I could eat here everyday I probably would....\n\nOnly down side is that the person answering the phones and taking the order changes often (it is located by a university so it is expected) so sometimes they take in the orders wrong or forget the extra instructions. Or they get rude and hang up (happened 1 time only months ago). \n\nOverall, really great hole-in -the-wall type of restaurant ran by... Koreans... that can actually cook Korean food... which I am very picky about as well.

Restaurent name is: Bareburger
review: The food might be organic (and it's really, really tasty) but they really have to do something about the smell of the new furniture/finishes. It's bad - incredibly bad. I had to wait about 10 minutes for a table last week and decided to wait outside, in the freezing cold, rather than continue to breathe in whatever it was. It's off-gassing something terrible.\n\nOtherwise, I had the elk burger and it was delicious. The fries were OK, the onion rings were pretty good, and the fried chicken was quite tasty. But there's no way I'm going back until all of the off-gassing is done. Carnivores and herbivores rejoice. Bareburger is a one stop shop where the needs of even the fussiest eater will be met. I checked it out yesterday after hearing a bit of hype about it and it certainly did not disappoint. My order was a Bison burger with pimento cheese, back bacon and onion and fig jam, a side order of their sweet potato fries and a choc peanut butter shake to wash it all down. The server was even nice enough to throw in a little bit of their buttermilk ranch dressing. My s/o had a supreme burger with onion rings and from the looks of it she was incredibly stoked with the meal too. For my part, I just couldn't have asked for more. The Bison burger patty was succulent. The bacon, thick and juicy. And the shake... Oh the shake! Bit of chocolate and peanut butter tap dancing on my taste buds had me begging for more, if only I wasn't extremely full from the other fare. To summarise, great food, great atmosphere, excellent service. Sure it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. They even have vegan and gluten free options. \nTLDR: Great food, great service and great options as long as you are willing to shell out the coin. I enjoy the premise of Bare Burger but can't overlook the poor service I've received there. Drinks were slow, food was slow, fries were cold, I had to ask for napkins, and no water refills were offered. What a shame. Great service by friendly waiter. Burgers were solid, and cooked to my liking (Medium) which isn't common in Canada. Onion rings were a solid addition and prices were fair. Would recommend this hole in the wall. Being a vegetarian, it is really hard to find a place with good burgers. My Experience at Bareburger was amazing! From friendly service to delicious and very filling food. Would love to try the other vegetarian options.

Restaurent name is: Famous Toastery
review: This was a nice breakfast stop. Very attentive wait staff and tasty food. Our favorite bite was the raspberry and walnut pancake. The hash with chorizo was delicious too. Not the best coffee, but our cups were kept hot and full. I live close by and finally got in today to see what the hub-bub is all about. Cannot get in on weekends, too crowded. So, first off this is a fancy breakfast place with some unusual yet delicious sounding selections like scrambled eggs with lobster chunks. I ordered the safe combo which includes 1 egg (over-easy), bacon or sausage patty and French toast or pancakes. I selected the French toast and crispy bacon. Best toast I've ever had so it lived up to the name of restaurant! My hubby ordered the same but opted for scrambled with the sausage. Plus, he got the fresh squeezed orange juice ($5) and it was so good; the real deal and worth the $5. Nice place, great food, really busy, my only complaint is that the chairs are super uncomfortable. Maybe because they want you to leave? Next time I go, I want to try to Boursin omelet with bacon and tomatoes. Not cheap by any means for breakfast but really delicious and fresh food. I have always enjoyed this restaurant however today was different I am giving this a five star rating because the food was great but the service was not so much until this nice waitress (Justine) was nice enough to stop by our table and took care of all the things that everyone else had over looked. Not only did she take care of us and our concerns she went and grabbed a manager who came over. When (Nicholas) came over he expressed his concern as well and expressed how he valued is being here and how he did not approve of how we were treat overall he treated us very well and that is why I will continue to come here because this is the type of service consumers should receive Thank you Justine and Nicholas Tried this location for the first time. It is pretty spacious compared to some of the other locations and it is right down from my house. \n\nThis was a brunch visit and I opted for lunch. I tried the California Salad and it was pretty good. Overall plenty of toppings and everything was fresh. \n\nNext time I visit I will try something different Had breakfast with a friend yesterday. It was packed but the wait was short. The food came pretty quickly and was still fresh and hot. Really good avocado omelet. The wait staff checked us a few times including the manager - all good. They use a tablet to take your order - great. Love the tech however we waited longer to pay than to be seated. Use those tablets to check people out. \n\nEdit this was intended for Fort Mill location.

Restaurent name is: El Rancho Mexican Restaurant
review: I\'ve eaten at the El Rancho on West Exchange street in Akron several times and have always enjoyed the food. This time I, and seven friends, decided to try the one in the Falls. I found the salsa to be very good, very flavorful, some of the best out there. The queso dip is now also among my favorites.\n\nFor dinner I had the Burritos Decebrados, two shredded beef burritos topped with chili con queso (I know, I already have the queso dip), served with refried beans. The burritos were good, just as I expected. I would have preferred a smaller serving of beans, maybe half, with rice added to the combination. I think it would have made the meal more complete.\n\nI would normally give this place four stars. But the overall service makes me downgrade it to three. Some of the meals were not accurate. When it came time for the checks, well, there was just no rhyme or reason how they could be so messed up. We were very specific when we sat down as to who were together and who weren\'t (two couples and four individuals). The bills showed people having their meals combined on one check even though they weren\'t sitting next to each other. One person had to have their check corrected twice, the first time because not everything they ordered was on the bill, the second time because too much was on the bill. Another person had their meal on two different checks. Also, their "Belly" system, the system that keeps track of frequent visits, was off. \n\nMy other disappointment, and I know it is entirely my fault and did not enter into my rating, is that there are no specials on Sunday. Every other day has either drink specials, food specials, or both. I need to keep that in mind the next time I go. This is your typical Mexican restaurant. Food was good, but the service was not great. There were only a couple of other groups in there and no one checked on us or offered to refill our drinks. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. Great service and yummy fresh margaritas! Greeted friendly every time and food is very good along with great queso dip. They support local schools and have a back room for meetings and are very attentive. Will be back and recommend! This restaurant has all the qualities of an enjoyable dining experience: colourful ambience depicting the Mexican culture in a quiet and serence location accompanied by, of course, some great food!\n\nTo start off with, I am always sold on a complimentary dish of chips and salsa where the salsa has just the right mix of flavours. I went in for the veggie fajitas and was delighted to see a good quantity of a myriad of colours. The beans and rice were perfectly cooked and the fajitas too had a good spice level to it. \n\nI tried my best to finish this, but eventually had to turn to a to-go for the remainder. One of the most authentic Mexican I have had in a while and a place which I will definately come back to soon! Food was great, service was even better. atmosphere was perfect for some casual Friday evening Mexican dining. The fajita menu would rival any joint in San Antonio, Tejas.\n\nI particularly enjoyed the sauce covering the retried beans-- not as heavy as is usual, and a titch sweeter! You won't regret the trip!

Restaurent name is: Compass Arizona Grill
review: One of the best restaurants in Phoenix with a view that I've ever dined in. And they do a reverse HH at 9pm! Date night is perfect here. I forgot to write a rating for this place, but it warms my heart each time I think of it. \n\nI had this huge elaborate day planned for my boyfriend (now fianc\xc3\xa9), for our one year anniversary. Our dinner was set to be at this location, as I had heard it from a friend and it would be a new experience for the two of us. The day went perfectly and dinner was just the same. \n\nI was thankful we sat at a seat by the window, as we got to look at the plaques informing us of the direction we were facing (which was cool!). Phoenix isn't that pretty looking from above, and we even saw some birds fighting over fries - but my goal was to watch the sun dissipate while the night-life slowly come to life, which was also exactly what happened.\n\nWe both ordered a sandwich and split the other half, but we liked the sandwich the other had ordered. We skipped desert. \n\nIt's so cheesy to say, but overall walking out of the hotel and down the street to our car was just the most perfect ending to the night. He said it was the best anniversary he's ever had. Given the food's price, I would recommend people come here for anniversaries, events, or a 'treat yo self' experience. Dined tonight, 11-14-17, which is a Tuesday. To start with I\'d give the flexibility of the server 5 stars, but this experience left much to be desired. Me and my coworkers are staying at the Hyatt, and wanted to have a nice meal together while we are here on training and away from our multi state homes. We chose this restaurant as it\'s in the hotel, it\'s 24th floor in downtown Phoenix and I think over 1 hour you can see the whole city. \n\nThe pricing is up there, and looks wise it\'s nice looking, but it\'s not super fancy either. Being a large group and all needing separate checks, the server was flexible about this, so again 5 stars. It\'s also in his best interest because it\'s automatic 18% gratuity if you are a party of 6 or more, and with the price being higher, our table alone was almost $100 in tips, so I can\'t add stars to this experience, plus it was a Tuesday and not super busy either. \n\nTonight some of coworkers didn\'t arrive by 6:45PM, so we decided to go ahead and get our orders in, as we were all hungry. I ordered a 1LB Rib Eye which comes with 1 side ($9 ea - ala carte) for $50.\n\nOur food took a VERY LONG TIME to come out, they were 8 of us, I ordered mine rare it came out a perfect rare. 2 other people ordered steaks and both of there\'s was overcooked. The flavor of the steak was okay, besides being cooked a perfect rare, nothing exciting about the taste. \n\nWhere the big failure for me was the brussel sprouts. He asked if I like them charred, which I said I did. There were charred but with a super sweet demi glaze sauce, they were so coated and gross, I couldn\'t only get down a couple. If you like brussel this is like a kid version that might appeal to child\'s taste buds, but not if your an adult who actually likes them! As Gordon Ramsay would say, "I would not feed them to my DOG!" They were cooked terribly too, boiled, and charred sweet saucy black messes. Overall, for these kind of prices, this food was a TOTAL it\'s a total fail, I would give 1 star if the server wasn\'t flexible and nice. \n\nSo this restaurant rotates, and I quickly got seasick, it\'s sound really cool, but I hated dining there. I was dizzy and just uncomfortable often watching everything move just enough that you had to trick your brain to not see it, then you would again, I even put my back to the view within 1 minute of looking out, which obviously didn\'t help. If you want a view, just get a room on the top floor of the Hyatt, order to go, and dine in the room! \n\nGetting checked out was a long process and I do give credit to the flexibility of the server, but it was 1-2 checks at time, just not great process. I was dizzy and just wanted to leave. I left about 8:45PM so this was a 2 hour dining experience from ordering. I would never dine here again. The only good news is our company will reimburse the meal + 18% gratuity, THANKFULLY! Nice views, great service! Food was disappointing. Steak was on the chewy side and the sides were over seasoned. My prom date brought me here 10 years ago. Hmm...I wonder what he was expecting at the end of the night. Although he thought that tanning until he was as red as a lobster was the new black this was one of his better judgment calls. \n\nWe had a window seat and I mesmerized him with fascinating facts about the city, which were on little plaques along the windows. It really took him until the end of dinner to figure it out. Anyway, I am sure the menu has changed, but the salad and shrimp with angel hair pasta I had that night were yummy. Cool view. I will have to come back sometime to see how the valley has changed from this view.

Restaurent name is: Golden Palace Banquet Hall
review: I was here only a few months ago for a wedding when this place was known as Diamond Banquet Hall. I was a bit surprised to see they've changed.\n\nWe had dim sum today, with most of the usual dishes - siu mai, BBQ pork bao, cheong fan, and a few other dishes. The food tasted good, better than a lot of other places I've been to for dim sum. Portions were decent. Service was good.\n\nI can't comment about the prices because my two dining companions were fighting over which one of them was treating. I didn't want to disturb them. Lucky me! Waited close to 25 min for a table for 4. Meanwhile 4 tables were abandoned and not clean up, everyone just starred at the dirty tables. Not very efficient. Staff running like chicken without heads. Totally understaff and not well managed. Nevertheless, when the food came, it was not disappointing - so much for a final happy ending and a very well-deserved two thumbs up; complimentary to the kitchen staff! First time here for dim sum, since the change of ownership, and I doubt I'd ever come back. We arrived at around 12.30pm and there was around 8 other tables occupied. The dim sum prices are on the high end side. From $3 for S going up to $7 for XXL. But there was hardly anything that was S, and most things were classed as M ($4) and up. We ordered a variety of dim sum, cooked food and a tureen of salt bone congee. Paying these prices, you have a higher expectation for the quality of the food. It's either quality or quantity, but here you get neither. The dim sum wasn't particularly great and we had broken bamboo steamers(a pet peeve of mine). The flavour is really lacking here with the cooked kitchen foods(the menu items available after 11am). The congee wasn't very good either. The best thing we ordered was the Chui Chow steamed dumplings. They didn't look appetizing but tasted good, skin wasn't sticky and didn't contain peanuts. \n\nThe only plus is that the place isn't busy and it's easy to get a table. They also have an early bird special , where all S, M and L dimsum are priced at $3. I doubt that I'd return here because cheaper places have dimsum that is better than here. Thought this place was just ok. I don't think I'll be back. Food was just ok and service was lacking \n\nPork buns fell apart, bland desserts, we had hair on our food. \n\nI hated that we were a table of 10, so it was a large table, and there was no lazy Susan. Not convenient. \n\nI know service is not the best at dimsum places but this was ridiculous. No one would make eye contact but hey no worries about attention when they know you are getting ready to leave. They hover to make sure you pay. The poor experience starts at waiting for a table. Frequent customers get to jump the line to get a table. We were seated at the table facing the entrance and it was cold because people were coming and going. Some of the dishes were lukewarm. Not worth $3 a dish during morning tea time

Restaurent name is: Sfizio Pizzeria & Wine Bar
review: I have been visiting all the top Neapolitan pizza joints in Toronto and stumbled across this place unintentionally- it deserves to be on the list!! If you like delicious Neapolitan pizza you should give this place a try. I will definitely be back!! Best resturaunt I have been to in toronto. The service was great, and they kept bringing food and drinks. All the food, every dish on the table had by all was superb . We had a large party so that is saying a lot. Ask them to take care of you and they will. My husband and I went here recently for our anniversary. The staff is lovely and the restaurant is so cozy. We went on a Friday night and were invited by our waitress, the hostess, and I believe the owner to stay longer for a night of music and makeovers. Unfortunately my husband and I had both worked a long day so we didn't get to stay for that, but we were able to enjoy the service and the dinner atmosphere nonetheless.\n\nOur waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was tasty and authentic. We enjoyed everything we were served (antipasto, pizza, tiramisu) and intend to visit again soon! Love this place!! Fantastic pizza, friendly staff and a warm atmosphere with great service! omg so good. \n\nProbably the best Italian meal I've had in my life.... and I've been to 5 Italian cities. Went simple and tried a penne pasta with sausages in red sauce.\n\n- pasta was perfect and al dente throughout\n- sauce was perfect amount, not too much, not too little, was not overpowering or unnoticed\n- sausage had a subtle, sultry smoked taste to it that added to the flavour\n\nMy dinnermates around me also had a great experience and ordered everything from seafood wine sauce pasta to thin crust pizza, no complaints. House wine was apparently also good, but I did not try.\n\nI will be coming back and I hope it will live up to this excellent first experience.

Restaurent name is: Lone Star Steakhouse
review: Really great food but terrible service. Heaven forbid you arrive an hour before they close on a Sunday. Prepare to be rushed and treated like dirt!\n\nMaybe the restaurant should post 10:00pm but tell their employees to expect to be here until 11:00. \n\nIf somebody walks in at 9:45 what are you going to do? Turn them and their money away? Ordered a Texas size Rib eye steak, medium that was right on! Cold beer, good service recommend My husband and I were in the area for a long weekend to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We made the unfortunate choice to eat at Lonestar. We realize that it\'s a chain restaurant that offers cheaper cuts of meat, but you\'d like to be able to at least eat it! The strip steaks were to be cooked medium, in fact were well beyond medium. The server asked us to cut into them and could clearly see they were over cooked. Another server who was nearby came over and commented they were dry and over done. She\'s the one who jumped in and took care of the situation. Our mustached server, Jim, was unfriendly, snippy, and just put out that he had to "deal" with us. Poor Jim acted like he was paying for our meals out of his own pocket! Look, we weren\'t trying to get something for nothing just a decent meal that was edible! My husband asked to speak to the Manager. About 15 or 20 minutes later he came to our table already apologizing and saying he took my meal off the bill. My husband had eaten his meal, he felt badly doing so but the guy was hungry! The Manager was nice enough and offered my husband desert on him for having to now wait for my food to be prepared. At the end of it all I asked Jim for a piece of cheesecake as well, my husband took his to go, and believe it or not, Jim had the audacity to say "that\'s what\'s in this box, you mean YOU want a piece too! I replied "Yes, I do and you can put it on our bill, I\'ll pay for it! How rude! It was on the bill but then taken off as a "anniversary desert". We will never go back to this location ever again! Hey Jim..... Do Lonestar a favor, Quit your day job! We got there and the place was empty. We were seated right away, which was a plus. But now the negatives! My wife ordered a dirty martini, well they bring her a plain martini not dirty at all! Then the waitress says I'm sorry and takes it back. Well no manager no one comes to ask about the service or apologize for the bad drink. Then the waitress keeps trying to sell us on a cheesecake special that she keeps calling it by the wrong name! Know your product before trying to sell it! Quick lunch before a business meeting on a Friday really didn't satisfy me. Ordered the Delmonico Sandwich, which was slightly overcooked. I asked MidRare and got MidWell. Colleagues ordered 8oz Sirloin and each were thoroughly disappointed in how it was cooked and the cut of meat itself. \n\nI will give a +1 for the server and manager checking on us periodically.\n\nHonestly, I didn't have high expectations but when it comes to ordering steak at a steakhouse I would think they'd have a bit more skill. Sorry, Lone Star. Definitely not impressed and will not return.

Restaurent name is: Jordan's Big Ten Pub
review: The menu is extensive and all the food is great. There are several daily lunch specials to choose from every day and a selection of two soups. On Fridays, they offer a wide variety of fish options for lunch and dinner. WHOOO midwest express this was it! My friend was meeting me in town for work, and she was hungover and I was HUNGRY and this was by the hotel. We got a nice big, warm booth to spread out in. Our server was SO nice, she checked on us multiple times and even let me change my order when I saw how amazing it looked. We got a large fry, which was a MOUNTAIN, cheese curds, I got a buffalo chicken salad, and a bloody mary.\n\nLet me tell you about this bloody mary. It had jerky, cheese stick, asparagus, olives, and onions in it. And it was SPICY and AMAZING. The salad was HUGE and what I needed. This would be my local JAM if I lived here. Great atmosphere, great food, great prices. Fish fries on Fridays make for a packed house. This is not a typical college bar either; patrons of all ages are present. It is a good location whether you are having lunch with a visitor to town, or an evening out with some friends. Try the cheese curds! Also, it is much bigger than it seems from the street (especially when they open up the back area). My one slight complaint is there seems to be a big difference between burgers cooked medium (bleeding) and medium well (burned). Do not order well. Was looking for a new place to go before Badger women's volleyball match on a Friday night to replace the Stadium Bar. Came across Jordan's and gave it a try. I chose it after seeing the HUGE menu online and how close it is to Camp Randall and the Fieldhouse. Wow! We each had a different seafood meal and each was great. Mahi Mahi stew special and salmon sandwich were perfect. Service was incredible even tho it was super busy on a sports night. Colin and Jake were around frequently to make sure everything was just right. Super value for the money, reasonably priced. You'll make it one of your Badger pre or post-game favorites! In love Jordan's Big Ten Pub. I lived in the Vilas neighborhood for about 5 years and frequented Jordan's often! I'm sure most people think a bar wouldn't have great, quality food but this one does!!!\nTheir fish fry is very good- not greasy at all! They have taco night (i believe on wednesdays) where you can eat inexpensively and deliciously. Their standard menu is wonderful and there are always unique and tasty specials. I'd also recommend the soup! It is made fresh daily and is always satisfying. The salads at Jordan's are amazing! Often times you order a salad out and it's a bunch of shredded iceberg with a crouton, not here! They use good lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and tons of other toppings depending on what you ordered. It's not on the menu but I often order a cajun chicken bacon ranch sandwich and it is to die for! \nAlso, I can't forget to mention the staff! They are really friendly, hard working and attentive (even on the busiest days). If you get Kimmy or Lacy as your server you are extra lucky!!!!\nMy husband and I have moved away from the area but we still try to make It to Jordan's a couple times a year. We even stopped there after we thought I was going into labor. Luckily it was a false alarm and we got to eat at Jordan's Big 10 Pub...because you can't waste a trip to the Vilas area without stopping there!!!

Restaurent name is: Yummy Grill Restaurant
review: While there are many options for Middle Eastern / Russian / Central Asian cuisine in Thornhill (serving generally similar fare), my experience at Yummy has consistently been exceptional. My family and I find the service fast and friendly, but the quality of the food and the obvious care taken in its preparation are what keeps us coming back.\n\nThe staples of a Middle Eastern kitchen are executed exceptionally well. Highlights included:\n- Hummus: very smooth, flavorful and strikes a great balance between the creaminess of the tahini and the richness of the chick peas. \n- Shawarma: crispy on the grilled exterior, tender in the interior, and importantly, lacking the greasiness that often accompanies many shawarma offerings. \n- Kebabs: well-seasoned, juicy with a great texture; many others I've had in the neighborhood are either bland, or the meat is overworked, leading to a pasty texture. \n\nWhile there are many restaurants I enjoy, I don't write Yelp reviews often. What drove me to make an exception in this case is the wonderful experience I've had in getting Yummy to cater a 70+ person function I held a few weeks ago. Working with Boris was delightful. He suggested foods that travel well, keeps well in heating trays and will be tasty when produced in large quantities; he never pushed unnecessary quantities and or more expensive menu items. The food was prepared on time for pick up, was packaged appropriately for transport, and Boris even provided fully-functional heating trays for service. Top-notch effort and execution. Salads were great starters and things went downhill from there.\n\nThe saute veggies I had with my chicken tasted like stale frozen veggies reheated in the microwave.\n\nNo toilet paper in dated ugly bathroom. Went here first time about 4 years ago, the food was great. Then decided to go back over the weekend for my birthday dinner. The place is very accommodating and the food is delicious. All of the guests enjoyed their meals and they are reasonably priced for the amount and quality of food that you get. Definitely missed this place and will be going back in the future. It is a good restaurant for student to go out for lunch\nI would not go there as a family day out\nNot an amazing food or service Simply the WORST shawarma or Mediterranean food ever. Do not even make a mistake of going in here! Me and my family of 6 went in, ordered sharwamas and chicken fingers. First off, they didnt even put the fingers in the fryer for atleast 45 MINUTES! Then, we went to ask the manager politely that its taking too long. SHE BLASTS US OFF SAYING FINE DONT PAY FOR IT BUT YOU'll GET IT. Secondly, we told them politely that the shawarma's are very chewy and old! She simpy blasts off starts shouting starts calling us 'RIDICULOUS' ppl, talks in her afghani language with other ppl n keeps on shouting non stop. The owner is cooking herself in the kitchen, she has NO IDEA what this type of food is and thinks she's the QUEEN of shawarmas. Tells me her restaurant is 'award winning' - hahaha. NEVER GO THERE, worst food ever. This is not how restaurants work.

Restaurent name is: Meet Dumplings
review: i heard this place is like the dumpling house in chinatown... oh but it's really kinda isn't.\n\nthe dumplings are smaller, lamb skewers had a lot of tendons and stuff in it, and green beans were soaked in soysauce. it's okay - not great. probably wont be coming here again. The Green Onion Pancake is awful. Don't order it. They put very little green onion in it and the pancake tasted like flour....And cost you 6$. Shame. Worst service ever. They took over 45 minutes to boil dumplings. WTF. would not recommend. Got the boiled lamb dumplings. Soggy and overcooked. The filling was okay, but tasted too much like msg. Didn't feel like eating more than one. \n\nFriendly mom and pop place with quick service, but the food was pretty terrible. Will definitely not be coming back. We had a mixup here and they thought we had ordered for delivery rather than for pickup. They were confused because I had placed the order through "Just Eats" using our old address. They called to confirm and I of course misses their call, which meant I had to walk in and tell them to actually do the order so it took more time than I anticipated. \n\nOnce we got our food it was decent.... Okay dumplings and pancakes but the noodle dish was kinda bland. I am willing to give the place one more try as they have some Szchuan dishes I like on the menu. In the mean time I\'m sticking to NOT JUST NOODLES.

Restaurent name is: Karma Ultra Lounge
review: New hookah spot! Definitely recommend it! We had a hard time finding a hookah spot that served alcohol but we found Karma and had a great time. They also have beer pong tables which we really enjoyed! Customer service was some of the best service I've ever came across. One of the managers I believe his name was Dave or David came over to check on us and told us about all the unique hookahs they have available. This place is definitely one of a kind that I recommend to everyone who wants a chill hookah spot. They are also a restaurant, we didn't try the food but it is probably really good as well. They have specials going on so call and ask! Great place! Love that there's alcohol here! It's really set up nice and every time I bring peeps here I hear nothing but good things! The atmosphere is real club like vibe. I see where they are going with it and for the most part it's a joint with potential and class. Great food and service... the manager is cool.\nDefinitely becoming one of my go to spots for good food and good priced alcohol. Sometimes making the trip to downtown is too much for me and it's cool to find a chill lounge near summerlin where I don't need to break the bank! Man, I tried and tried to like this place! It\'s one of the few hookah LOUNGES that serve alcohol. I\'m a huge fan of hookah and have been to a lot of different hookah lounges here and in Los Angeles. I own several hookahs and would like to believe I know a thing or two about hookah haha. \n\n-1 star for music:\nMan, I know they\'re just playing a playlist, but do they not know what TOP 50 is?? They go from playing Latin music to Eminem to early 2000s hip hop. -____- You can\'t attract a crowd if you\'re playing whack music. I can\'t comprehend if you have a liquor license, play the right music, keep people dancing and having fun, keep making money. Set the tone! \n\n-1 star for lack of product:\nI\'ve been here three times and every time I\'ve been here, I\'ve always been told "we\'re all out of that flavor" for different flavors. Take it off the menu if you\'re out of it! Keep your inventory stocked! Smh. \n\n-1 star for product quality:\nI taste soap. I don\'t taste flavor. My smoke isn\'t thick. I asked for a "pinch of mint" and every single time it tasted like they did an equal amount of mint. Unless they have Shaquille O\'Neal back there with his big hands doing their "pinch". \n\n-1 star for service:\nWe waited 15minutes for our table to get cleared, 30minutes for our hookah, and another 40minutes for a bowl change. They told me that they were really backed up and busy. But when I went to the bathroom, there were 2 guys and 1 girl sitting in the back room just smoking hookah and sitting on the counter. But, there\'s 1 waiter who is amazing, I forget his name but he\'s a tall, skinny guy with a little man bun. That kid is A-1. But the hostess is condescending and clearly everyone else who works there is busy. \n\nThe owner seemed like a really cool guy, this place seems like it has a lot of potential. I\'ll probably go back in a couple of months once they work out their kinks.... The most hospitable staff! Five star service for sure. If you like hookah then pay these guys a visit. Comfortable lounge with a nice vibe. All you can smoke hookah for $15? That's not a bad price at all. Really good actually. The place is on Charleston in between Decatur and Jones so it's basically in the center of everything. Now Karma has had two other locations before. I went to their centennial one often for a while until they didn't make enough to keep it open. Service was always great here. Flavors we're pretty decent as well. Good coals. Okay hookah. Now, I understand that you have to make your money back from what you've put into the business, but ripping people off is going to get no one to come in. \n\nMy friend and I brought in our own shisha because we like a shisha brand that they don't carry. Yet they're still charging us $15 per person for that? I'm not smoking because that's just ridiculous and STUPID. This owner obviously doesn't appreciate his customers. $5, understandable. But to not discount anything at all for just using the hookah. Really? We're paying $15 to use our own things? We even brought our own bowl and lotus for the hookah. A knock off Khalil Mamoon with a cheap $2 hose isn't worth $15. At all. And yes I know for a fact that these are only $2 because I see them in gas stations and some smoke shops for $2. This is a slap in the face. No wonder there's not a person here besides us!!!! That's why you're not making money. Because you're selfish. Good luck losing your business.

Restaurent name is: Maza Mediterranean & Turkish Grill
review: This is a great find in Vegas! We came here for the first time and had such a pleasant experience. The food was super fresh and healthy, great spices and I loved the Turkish tea! The lamb chops were so tender and tasty. The atmosphere is trendy, clean, and they have live music on the weekends. My new favorite spot in Vegas. I was a little skeptical about this place but gave it a shot anyways. As we walked in the restaurant in was kind of dark and in need of a makeover. The hostess/waitress showed us to our table. Ordered the appetizer platter which was really good. The pita needs a little help though. Ordered the beef shish kabob and the Chicken Adana they were really good and had great flavor nice and moist, rice was good as well just a bit oily for my taste. I didn't care for the salad though if it were finely chopped it would have been a lot better. Service was good and on point.\n\nI would try other dishes but would probably take out rather than dine in. This restaurant is amazing food and stuff like a family. And price it's very good.\nAnd also Waiter Mina she's a good customer service.\nSam So so good! I had a ground beef kebab (forgot the name) but my oh my were the flavors spot on. I was greeted by the most pleasant hostess and the wait staff was a joy to be catered by. Definitely a must if you want to try a hole in the wall resturaunt in Vegas. On my list of top 10 resturaunts here. This is the best Turkish restaurant in town. The food is amazing! I am Turkish and in my opinion you don't wanna miss sultan's delight and kunefe here! These are as good as eating in Turkey! The staff was very friendly and very helpful specially Damla. We will go there in every opportunity.

Restaurent name is: Ogden's Hops and Harvest
review: We had an early lunch on a Wednesday at Hops and Harvest. I had not had the famous blue corn muffins before, and while they were good, I didn't find them as good as others do. The blue cheese souffle on the other hand, was legit. Believe the hype. I could take 3 or 4 orders of these and just make it my meal. They were warm and perfect when they arrived at the table. And, the cherry sauce went well with them. Fantastic blue cheese flavor. A must order at Hops and Harvest.\n\nTo eat, the wife had the burger and I had the short rib grilled cheese. Of these, the short rib was the winner. It was crispy and gooey throughout, and the onions added nice flavor and a bit of crunch. Solid short rib as well, it got a little crispy around the edges, but what do you expect? It's a grilled cheese.\n\nThe burger was good, but not as good as I was expecting. I think it needs a bit more fat perhaps. It was dry and a tad overcooked around the edges. We tried the mac n cheese, which was fantastic. Crunchy crust on top and great cheese flavor. Another dish I highly recommend you order.\n\nEven though we don't live remotely close to Tivoli Village, I am sure we will return. As of May 31st Hops & Harvest is now open for business. We visited on Monday for happy hour and Ogden himself was in the house making sure that everything was running smoothly and working the room. It\'s located in the former Double Helix Bottles & Burgers location, so park in the flat lot off of Alta for easy access to getting your hop on. While it\'s not a sports bar per say, they do have TVs around that were tuned to the hockey & basketball playoff games.\n\nTheir happy hour is 7 days a week from 3-6, which is an indulgence without harvesting your budget! They refer to it as, "Taps & Apps". All featured apps are $3.75 to $6 and then all beer & wine on tap is 50% off. They were out of a few beers, but that is not surprising for a new hot spot that hasn\'t had an opportunity to gauge demand and make adjustments to supply. \n\nOf all of the happy hour apps, the grilled cheese bites were the winner in our group. No, actually it was the herbed tomato dipping sauce that accompanied the grilled cheese bites. It was so good we dipped almost all of the other apps in that sauce. When bartender attempted to clear the almost empty dish, it was like an over-dramatized slow motion scene. Bf groaned out a deep, breathy nooooooooooooooooooooo! Without a doubt Hops and Harvest is the current pace setter for all happy hours around; it doesn\'t get any better. The next time I return I plan to order one of their pork belly dishes. Delicious fresh food. I even saw the staff bringing in fresh veggies from the Farmers' Market on Saturday morning. The mini donuts with strawberry jam and chocolate sauce were delish. We had several different dishes and shared, everything was so simple and yet so good. The atmosphere is casual, the food and drinks are extraordinary. I tried two specialty drinks, both were delicious. My favorite was the Harvest Shandy and my Sister\'s favorite was the Tivoli Tea. I had the Wild Caught King Salmon. Juicy on the inside, and a little crisp on the outside. Perfectly matched with sweet corn soup. Absolutely scrumptious!\n I watched my sister take her first bite of the Rib Eye Steak and she nearly melted! She\'s a steak girl and described it as an "Orgasmic Experience", The best she\'s ever had. After trying it myself, I had to agree, her description was appropriate! \nChef Bradley Ogden was even there and visited our table! Service was Amazing! The icing on the cake was our sweet servers last words: "50% OFF Apps & Taps, everyday 3-6!" (appetizers, small plates, all beer and wine on tap!) I really enjoyed this experience. The food was great. the salmon was so fresh and prepared perfectly -- not dry and not undercooked.\nambience was ok. nothing special.\nThe uniforms are designed as people working in a brewery.\nThe beer selection was very nice.\nThe service was very friendly and informative. \nI would go again.

Restaurent name is: Tacos Mary's
review: Not bad for a food truck. Mexican music plays as you enjoy your food. They offer tacos, burritos, sopes, huaraches, vampiras, birria and other items. They cook everything when you order so it's not a quick stop but worth it for a taco truck. Tacos were $2 ea Hand made tortillas, carnitas, pastor tacos were amazing and the burrito was probably larger than a burrito from chipotle. Don't let the taco truck fool ya! I've been driving passed it for months and decided to stop since I was craving tacos and will hands down be coming back! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Very good , plentiful..... her english and MY spanish are not very good, I will be checking my google search to look up what I am ordering, but it has been great both times !\nHer helper is fluent in both languages and is very attentive to provide whatever is needed. Amazing Hand Made tortillas. Had a burrito mojado and was spicy af but delicious. They make awesome fresh water drinks too. Im going to keep it very simple, this is the best authentic most delicious Mexican Food in AZ.

Restaurent name is: Dickey's Barbecue Pit
review: Great food but questionable service. The new location is \xc3\xbcber small! I don't like seeing their office door open and seeing staff's friends hanging out and even off the clock staff hanging out. The kitchen is super small. I even saw a bunch of ribs just sitting on the counter, not even under a heat lamp. I had a coupon and two staff couldn't even figure out how to use it correctly! It's not that hard!\n\nThe only thing they have going for them is the delicious food but that's it. We have been wanting to try this place for awhile. We walked and and were so excited, the smell the sounds it was almost BBQ overload!! We walked around and got the lay of the land and ordered the 2 meat plate with 2 sides and roll. Let me tell you too many choices are a good thing, good thing my wife was with me to divide and conquer. We tried the brisket, the kielbasa and the turkey for our meats and the beans, Mac and cheese, green beans and creamed spinach for our sides. Let start by saying I hate smoked turkey it's dry and just terrible,, NOT here it is so juicy and flavorful! I couldn't stop eating it. The brisket was top notch and the kielbasa was like my grandfather made!! The sides were outstanding. So tasty! My wife said the beans were some of the best she has had!! The staff were friendly and took care of us each step of the way.. if you are near a Dickey's you have to stop in it is worth the trip!!! Food is amazing! If it wasn't for that I wouldn't go back. The man behind the counter cutting the meat made us feel like we were bothering him. I had literally two questions, and no one was even behind us in line. But he seemed to not have any patience for us. The girl doing the sides was fine, but she too seemed a little exasperated. It's really too bad because the food really is so amazing, but the service leaves a bad taste in your mouth I grew up in Texas going to the original Dickey's. This location has food just as good as any I've had back home. My family and I especially liked the sliced brisket. The service was great too. Will definitely be going back! Not horrible, but most aspects of the experience disappointed. \n\nNot only did nobody greet us when we came in, the order guy ignored us so well that we didn't know he was the person to give our order to. So we wandered down the food line and the cashier explained that the guy on the end (who was ignoring us) was the order guy. He didn't wear gloves while slicing our meat, which is a bit of a surprise these days. The rest of the staff were agreeable. \n\nSides are too small. My beans didn't come halfway up the cup. Potato salad was stingy, probably a very level 4 oz scoop. The manager may think he's saving money, but he's really alienating repeat business. My friend ordered several a la carte sides. $2.75 each for the same meager portions.\n\nMeat was acceptable but nothing special. No real BBQ characteristics. Pork was shredded and tangled, somewhat dry, not much smoke flavor. Brisket was also borderline dry, 3 slices and the rest mangled chunks. The meats tasted baked/braised, probably from being held over a long time in the hot box. Beans were served hot, but were mushy and overcooked. Potato salad was flavorless. These items had worse flavor and texture than grocery deli items. I like the tangy and spicy sauces here which lubricated the less than tender meat, helping it go down. My friend liked his fried okra but said the macaroni and cheese was stingy, mushy and flavorless.\n\nStore was dirty. Dirty floors, trash bin overflowing and covered in sticky sauce. My iced tea was so weak it had almost no color. I dumped it and refilled with Coke, which was also aggressively watered down, as was my friend's Dr. Pepper.\n\nTotal bill before tax for 2 people was just under $33. This was not a $33 experience. Virtually everything I've said has been repeated (repeatedly) in other reviews here, which tells you something about the management, the viability of this franchise concept, or both. I won't be back.

Restaurent name is: Burrito Bandidos
review: My first time there today. Was a great experience from the beginning. You walk in and this cute happy dude takes your order with great music happening. Not too long of a wait, and it was so worth it. Mouth watering. I ordered the shrimp and chicken with all the toppings. Nice and perfectly spicy. Almost didn't find it cause it is behind the A&W on Yonge St. Glad I did. Burrito was very tasty and reasonably priced. Staff didn't inspire a lot of positive feelings they were kind of indifferent and I was nervous they were burning my burrito letting it sit on the grill for 10 minutes while I waited. It was worth the wait - lots of flavor and just the right amount of spice! I like this place a lot. Would go here every day. \n\nThey have chicken, steak, shrimp, etc. excellent selection. \n\nHigh recommend. Quality is really good. Uh oh. I'm in trouble... I've loved this place for ages, but trips were always reserved for special occasions. Now there's one a short walk away and I wont be able to stay away! \nThis place has great fresh ingredients, but the burritos taste like burritos, not just the ingredients. This place will beat out chipotle or BFB any day.\nEspecially popular are the fish burritos. Watch for lineups at lunch time. This place is booming and there isn't much seating available, you're usually better taking it to go.\n That's my reserved star here....but the food is great! Burrito Bandidos is great! Thanks to these guys, there\'s no need to go South of the Border for good Tex Mex food.\n \nI ordered a large burrito with chicken and shrimp. Oh, wow, was the shrimp amazingly fresh. They cook it to order and it tasted oh so good. It\'s the best tasting shrimp I\'ve had in my two months of living in T dot.\n\nAs for the menu here, it\'s simple: small burritos, large burritos, & quesadillas. I didn\'t see any appetizers listed. It\'s great that all of the filings can be had for no additional charge. I opted to include everything, including each type of sauce.\n\nThey do have a house made "burrito sauce", but I couldn\'t discern the actual taste of it because I had them mix in salsa, sour cream, guac, and hot sauce along with it.\n\nTheir coconut milk + nectar + pineapple drink was excellent. I wish more places sold it!\n\nBurrito Bandidos has a few locations in Toronto. If you come across one, you most definitely need to try it out.

Restaurent name is: Del Taco
review: I'm very pleased this location opened up. It is clean, new, modern and the staff is friendly. A new quick lunch spot for me.\n\nSo far the food has been consistent and good, good for Del Taco standards anyway. Give it a try. Great food and great service ! This location is always on top and the good thing about it is that it's close by my home. I'd say it would probably take me 20 minutes in walking distance to get here. I love this location. I was charged extra for things I didn't receive. I asked for extra cheese and chilli topping that was $.90, I asked for extra cheese and sour on my chicken quesadilla but they gave me a snacker. I asked for a full size quesadilla and they gave me a 1.00 quesadilla, but charged me for a full size quesadilla. I'm not happy at all!!! I\'m pregnant and had a craving for nachos this morning, so stopped in before work. I got the "queso loaded nachos" and was super excited to try them. My excitement immediately went away the second I looked at my food. In my experience, queso is either white or yellow, but this is the first time I\'ve ever been served beige colored "queso." The ingredients were just thrown on there randomly and I was given discolored, nasty looking jalape\xc3\xb1os to top it all off. It looked like someone vomited on some stale chips and called it a day. I could see the woman in the back making the food through the drive thru and it was easy to tell she didn\'t want to be there. That was most definitely represented in the food she prepared. Needless to say, I won\'t be returning to this location. Stopped here after visiting a friends house late. Open 24 hr drive thru is always good. Also good were the deluxe chili fries. What was not good were the fish tacos, which this chain wants to be known by, right?\n\nI'm not sure who was working the night shift on the fryer that night, but they left them in so long, they became hard pieces of leather. Was very excited, and those hopes went in the trash after trying to bite each taco. I had to give up on eating them though because dentistry costs more than $4 in tacos. \n\nIt's really a 1 star review, but the fries were good, so...

Restaurent name is: Maskadores Taco Shop
review: Was chintzy on the carne asada for the street tacos but otherwise the food was top notch. Homemade ingredients. FRESH!!! Wish they had descriptions of the meats on their menu. The amazing ladies are soooo busy they have no time to educate you on all the delicious options. Would take you a year to try all of them. \nCan't wait to come back!!! Looking for something new to try in Fountain Hills. Maskadores has become my new "go to" Mexican food restaurant. Very original and high Quality food. I had a burrito and found it to be outstanding. Looking forward to my next visit. A fast food / gourmet Mexican Restaraunt. This is no bertos joint. This place is legit. They will make your dish exactly the way you want it. I could go here every day for lunch. I brought my gf First time to any of their places. Wife and I went to this one on a weekend drive. So glad I stopped there. The place is simple and very xasual. Love the decor od mexican wrestling murals. Fun. Ordered at the counter and watched items cooked up while we waited and talked to the cook/waitress. Very friendly. I got the 4 street tacos with Chipotle chicken, beef and pork. Tacos topped with their homemade HOT taco sauce. Wife had a cheese quesadilla. Food was excellent. Fresh and so tasty. So glad I found this place and will be going to the one in our area. This is the Mexican restaurant that I've been hoping would arrive in fountain hills. My family and I have been there almost every week since they opened and we've yet to have a poor meal. The family who runs the restaurant are friendly and accommodating and, again, the food is amazing. Add the jalape\xc3\xb1o crema should go on top of anything you order.

Restaurent name is: La Revolucion
review: I had high hopes, but was extremely disappointed. I don't mind paying high prices for Mexican food, but it needs to be done well. This wasn't. It took an hour to get our food and arrived at the table cold, with 4 of the 7 orders incorrect. The drinks from the bar were not mixed well. Some of our tacos had nice flavor, but the mole was below standard. We informed the waitress and manager of the issues hoping to get things resolved to no avail. I don't expect free food, but when repeated mistakes are made you should attempt to fix it. My family owns a restaurant so I extend a great deal of grace to restaurants, knowing what a tough business it in. However, the problems tonight proved to be too many to excuse. We don't recommend this place and will not be coming back. With the addition of so many offices, how in the world does the Music Factory not have more/better restaurant options?! After a meeting at the Fillmore, looking for a place to eat, I was shocked to discover La Revolution is THE only place serving lunch at the Music Factory. We ventured in despite the poor reviews on Yelp. Should have known better. Service was slow. Food was unimpressive -- lacking flavor and cold. Worst of all, the server dumped about half a pitcher of tea on one of the guests I was dinning with and didn't discount or comp her lunch. *Sigh.* Customer service 101, guys. VIP service was non-existent. They stopped servings alcohol before 2am just to get home and didn't even acknowledge customers coming up to their counter. Worse service I've ever experienced after paying hundreds for VIP service. I'd give them less than one star if I could. Great Mexican restaurant at the music factory! Much better than the previous Texicali. The chef was kind enough to bring out appetizers prior to the show at The Comedy Zone. Also, there was plenty of staff on hand. I am looking forward to their taco Tuesday, since I work right across the street! Waiter, food, drinks were all fantastic. Hostess was rather rude and made it seem like it was an inconvenience that she had to seat us...I mean, do her job . One bad apple doesn't ruin the whole bunch. Will come back again next time I go to a show at comedy zone.

Restaurent name is: Sonic Drive-In
review: Food is typical, but service is great. I wish they still had the strawberry molten cake. It was my favorite. I used to get it a least once a week. Now i hardly go. We were served flat sodas, and foolishly asked them if them if they could remake them for us. However, when they brought us a second round of flat sodas we really enjoyed those.... Passed thru here the other night on my way home 4 their happy hour 1/2 off drinks, dessert shakes. Got a pineapple upside down master blaster & a cheesecake shake. They don't skimp on toppings or ingredients (there's a reason why any of the remaining DQ's stopped doing their upside~down test when going 4 the occasional Blizzard or 2 sample a new flavor). \n\n I don't get much in the way of food here since becoming a Veg~head so I can't vouch 4 other menu items but I do remember everything b4~hand being pretty decent 4 what it is & I really hope they keep their sweet potato tots on the menu as I like them even better than the regular tots (which is already a lot)! \n\n I find myself here from time 2 time 4 their happy hour specials or on their patio area when I don't wanna drink my StarF*cks or have it spilled on me in the whirlwind constrained claustrophobia of next door.\n\n The hop servers here have always been friendly, johnny~on~the~spot & even when I've been in tow w/ other friends because they wanted something from here, orders have always been correct, warm & fresh so there's no bad experiences I've had or witnessed. I feel they deserve 5* = the drinks/desserts & service, just wasn't a fave of that kinda food back when I did have it, other than their tots & especially the sweet potato kind which r the Bomb!! So bummed right now ordered a steak and egg burritos didn't check my order until it was too late for me to go back and I ended up with a bacon burrito and I can't stand bacon (I know who doesn't like bacon) so now I'm hungry and grumpy :( I'm giving it the extra star because the strawberry lemonade slushy I got was really good! Only ordered drinks but service was fast. Didn't wait long and rep was very polite and double checked our order. They weren't busy. Everything looked clean and all stations seemed to be working.

Restaurent name is: The Great Impasta
review: We\'re new to Champaign-Urbana and decided to try The Great Impasta after reading that it serves fresh/homemade pasta. My husband and I went with our families who were helping us move in. \n\nWhen we arrived, we were promptly seated at our reserved table. I should have realized than an almost empty restaurant on a Saturday night is never a good thing. I picked up my bread plate to move it and saw a squashed tomato underneath. We then proceeded to wait at least 20 minutes to even be served water or asked for our drink order. When we finally got around to order, we had to listen to a pretentious and inattentive server. When my mother-in-law (not a foodie) asked for her tuna medium well, the server told her that it\'s only good if served rare and it was a crime to serve medium-well, which was very rude. I agree a tuna steak should be seared and gets dried out and flavorless past medium-rare- but- there are better ways to approach the situation. Perhaps suggest that the chef likes to prepare it medium rare, but we have a nice salmon that you may enjoy more. The menu indicated that the Fettuccine Alfredo sauce had egg in it (which is not authentic Alfredo) and I asked if the chef could leave out the egg because I was pregnant and unable to have eggs that were not fully cooked (Hollandaise and Bernaise sauce, Caesar dressing, and homemade ice cream are also on the forbidden list for the same reason). A halfway decent chef should be able to do this with their eyes closed- especially since Alfredo is traditionally only butter and Parmegiano-Reggiano or Parm-Butter-Heavy Cream. The waiter would not even go back and ask the chef about this- he simply refused (and this was for health purposes- not taste preference- I am visibly 7 months pregnant), again, rudely. We then inquired about the ravioli, which it turns out, is not made fresh, and the pasta with clam sauce- which is made with canned clams- not fresh ones. \n\nHow was the food we actually ordered? Bad. I ordered a fettuccine with chicken and what was supposed to be a bacon/cream/white wine sauce. It was so bland, no amount of salt or grated cheese could salvage the dish. No hint of bacon or wine or any aromatics like garlic or shallot. The "fresh fettuccine", which should be thin and light, was so thick and dense- I would rather eat dried Barilla fettuccine or the refrigerated Buitoini stuff from the supermarket. My husband ordered pasta with a red sauce that resembled Prego- it was so sweet and pasty. My mother ordered the salmon, which came rare. She prefers her salmon medium/medium-well and asked the server to please bring it back to the kitchen and cook further. He told her "it\'s supposed to be that way." A good server would have said, I\'m sorry, I will take care of this right away- and done it- NOT argued with the customer. \n\nYou couldn\'t pay me to go back. I\'ve had better meals at the Olive Garden- and that isn\'t saying much. I used to LOVE the Great Impasta. It was my restaurant of choice. If there was a night out to be had, it started here!\n\nHowever, as time went on, the food quality slowly started to slip. They stopped warming the bread before bringing it to the table. The service started getting harder to find. Then, during my last two visits, the food came out luke warm at best.\n\nI loved this place in the beginning, but sadly had to say farewell. I was sorry to see the larger location close, and even sorrier to find the new location still leaves much to be desired. The Great Impasta has some extremely rich and luscious food. The restaurant itself is lovely and perfect for bringing a date or out of town guests. Paintings and candles accent a ceiling painted with grapevines. The food I had was amazing- the salads nicely seasoned, the olive oil of the highest quality, the ravioli gorgonzola rich and creamy, and the blueberry carrot cake moist and divine. I can attest to some of their ingredients because many of them are local and from farms I know- try the Prairie Fruit Farms goat cheese tart for a real treat if it is available. The chef tries hard to incorporate lots of ingredients from local farms. To make the experience perfect, the service I had was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended. Slowest service I've ever had in my life. Took 20 minute for a waitress to come to our table. It wasn't even a waitress... The hostess was the one who helped us. Took 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Spent 2 hours in the place... Wasn't even crowded. Food was good that is about it. We asked for a discount and what did we get... 10%. We saved 2 dollars after spending 2 hours of our time there. Was awesome to be sitting next to the mom who had a shirt that said I run so I don't kill people as she made her kid cry by force feeding him broccoli at 10pm. My new grad student friend, Liz, and I were confused and hungry on a Saturday evening. We decided to embrace a restaurant with a ridiculous, punny title, and a cartoon picture of a man with a wonky, paintbrush mustache. Great decision.\n\nThe Great Impasta is a half block east of Neil Street in downtown Champaign and despite teh fact that their outside tables were covered in construction worker dust, the staff was friendly and self-effacing enough to jokingly clean them off for us so we could enjoy the balmy Saturday evening (on nights like these, if I close my eyes, I can pretend I\'m back home in San Diego, sigh).\n\nThe stuffed mushrooms were good, although not the highest quality, but the bartender was ON POINT. I asked him on a whim to make me something "silly and dangerous, with a hint of vanilla" (because i\'m an ass and I can ask things like this. Don\'t try it at home).\n\nHe came back with a mix of kahlua, grand marnier, vanilla vodka, bailey\'s, and a chocolate liquor. He then apologized for putting a bit more vodka than he planned, but it was fantastical. We named it a "Cow of Color," since brown cow sounded too...cliche.\n\nOur server, Lara, was funny, outgoing, friendly and helpful with charm and a great attitude. She helped us choose some delicious pasta dishes that weren\'t too heavy and just flavorful enough, and I admit I went for a cream/chicken dish. Whatevs. I\'ll run tomorrow while hating my new waist size.\n\nMore important, however, was the slightly hilarious decor provided by one of the staff, who paints pictures, including watercolors of her fellow employees. Imagine our surprise when Liz and I saw the busboy\'s painted visage staring prominently at us from a main wall. It was more fun to pretend to be interested in buying the painting just to make him uncomfortable.\n\nThe Great Impasta lost their lease on that corner so they\'re only in business on Church Street until December 31. Then the spot becomes a bank (WTF), while they hunt for a new location. Go while you can. The food is good, the bartenders amenable, the staff fantastic. Go now. Log off the damn computer, hop a flight if you have to. I\'ll even pick you up from Willard airport if I have to. I have a feeling Champaign will be missing something when our large mustachioed friend is gone.

Restaurent name is: Wild Thaiger
review: We took some friends here who are "die hard" Thai food lovers. This is where they will be going "from now on"....their words. We showed up late, around 8ish and were still greeted with friendly service. We met the chef who couldn\'t have been more helpful ordering our meal. She\'s fun and energetic. The dragon eggs are delish, as is the green papaya salad and the grilled pork on skewers. Our friends each had curry and both said "best I\'ve ever had!" If you like Thai food, this is the place. First time here and the service was terrible. We sat for over 10 minutes without anyone acknowledging us. We had to say something and the hostess took our order. The food was not good. There are better Thai restaurants in LA. Don't know why it was featured in DDD?? Will definitely not be coming back. I hesitate to give them the five stars they deserve because they have a really small dining area and more customers, selfishly, would complicate things for me. Chicken panang is quite good with a superb brown rice. Decent wine list. After three visits the wait staff remembered what I like (complicated) and always get the order right. Wild Thaiger is pretty good, but not what you expect from a restaurant that is raved about on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.\n\nI thought the Pad Thai was good, but not great. I ordered tofu and it wasn't cooked enough. Plus, being near a bunch of high-rise business offices, the restaurant can be unbearably packed. I highly recommend eating outside if weather permits because the inside is so loud.\n\nIn my opinion there are better Thai spots in Phoenix. Almost every time I have come in this place, they have been so busy. Their food speaks for itself. Having to eat gluten free their pad Thai and gf chicken curry, I am never sick after eating here and always am full. They have perfect sharing portions for much of their foods and I hope you'll give them a shot. I will be back and may see you there sometime!

Restaurent name is: Tower Pizzeria
review: We were a little weary about ordering pizza from the hotel itself. We're normally pretty picky about our pizza and we've been disappointed before with hotel pizza. But we read the good reviews here so decided to give it a try. We got the meat special. It was $20 on the menu, by the time they added 1.49 for extra cheese, 3.00 service charge, 18% gratuity, and tax, it came out to $30.09. Yikes! They came surprisingly quick despite being on hold for a long time when we ordered (we assumed they were busy so we figured delivery would take a while as well). The pizza was definitely better than we thought but not best we ever had. Next time, I don't think we'll spend over $30 for a pizza that was just ok. We were hungry and sporting a hangover so pizza seemed like a good idea.\n\nThis place has one thing going for it, it was there, and where we were.\n\nA long slow line to order pizza was unnecessary, despite a vast menu they did not have much available. and the prices 5.25-$6 for a 1/4 of a pie slice is no deal.\n\nThe pizza is self tastes like poor quality bread with some cheese, no flavor no character to the crust nothing. \n\nThere is a small adjacent dining area that has pepper and Parmesan cheese tables.\n\ni really doubt any one plans to eat here, so this will not be read, but in case you are planing to eat here, steer away. We ate at this particular restaurant located in the Stratosphere Hotel because we had a coupon for a free pitcher of beer with the purchase of a pizza. Our pizza was delicious. This small restaurant only serves pizza and beer. All the pizzas are large or you can order a slice. I would definetely return to this little restaurant, especially if we find another coupon ((: One good thing...... Geographical convenience. Food whatever, prices not great. Forgettable. Not good pizza for a pizza lover. Yawn. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND JUST BUY A FROZEN PIZZA!\n\nBy far the worst pizza I have ever eaten. All I ordered was a simple cheese pizza with buffalo wings. I got in return was a burnt crust with a glop of cheese in the middle;with ricotta cheese pooped and drizzled around the damn glop of cheese for some reason. I can't even start with the chicken. First, it was hard as a rock and tough. Then the sauce just made it worst! Its like they had jars of Lucas Candy and put that onto the chicken. Out of the $25 I spent, I managed to eat the celery that came with the Lucas Flavored chicken.\n\nPlease save your money, and might as well put a $20 bill in a slot machine and bet all. You will have more satisfaction.

Restaurent name is: Copper Still Moonshine Grill
review: We love this place! Copper Still has a great atmosphere! Friendly staff, t.v.'s everywhere, huge bar, and the best happy hour! This is our go to wing place. Everything we have tried so far is amazing, but their wings are the best! We were excited to see something new pop up in this location. \nThe service was good and we felt all out needs meet quickly. \n The food was good. I had a salad done meat on it like a shaved beef very flavorful. The wings however were the top item of our meal. They were perfect crispness while the sauce was just enough without being overly saucy. I don't recall what hubby had but I know her really enjoyed it.\nI even picked up a gift card for our anniversary coming up. Looking forward to trying other menu items Best thing to ever happen to this location. Love everything about this place. Great atmosphere, great food and beer selections but most important to me is there customer service. Bartenders and staff are so friendly and attentive!!! It's our new favorite place to watch football TV's everywhere! We have been to the Copper Still several times, particularly on Wednesdays because they have an advertised special on premium spirits known as "Whiskey Wednesday". My husband enjoys Manhattans made with Makers Mark. The first few times we sat at the bar and the servers were cordial and friendly and everything went fine. Even the food was good. The last two times we were there to meet a friend, sat in a booth and my husband ordered his usual Makers Mark Manhattan up. This time when we received the bill he noticed they had charged him $6.50 for the Manhattan (on the bill they called it a Martini) instead of the advertised $4.50. He called it to the attention of the server and she checked with the manager who told her the difference was due to having to add vermouth to make a Manhattan. My husband then asked to speak to the manager. He came to our table and reiterated the difference in the cost was due to the vermouth in the Manhattan. My husband retorted that this should have been disclosed to him when he made the order. The manager was very curt and just shrugged his shoulders and walked away. We then returned two weeks later and sat in a booth. Because of what happened the previous time my husband changed his order to a Makers Mark on the rocks with a water back. He also noticed that they had new menus and the Whiskey Wednesday special was now $4.75 instead of $4.50, which was okay. This time when we received the bill he noticed they had charged him $5.25 for the Makers Mark on the rocks. He asked to speak to the manager again and the same individual came to our table saying, "Oh! It\'s you again!" Very discourteous! He then went on to explain that the difference in the cost was due to the order being on the rocks where they pour more than a usual order. My husband didn\'t know too many more ways to order a whiskey drink, so he again pointed out that this should have been disclosed when the order was made not when we received the bill. The manger finally relented and said he would take it off the bill. We responded to him that it was not necessary because we will never be back. The manger said, "Whatever," and walked off. Copper Still Moonshine Grill is not an honest establishment and they have very poor customer sensitivity. Plus I might add, the food was not as good as it used to be. We will be spreading the word to our friends so they can avoid this dishonest treatment. All I have to say is: B & G honey hot wings. My god. These wings blow all wings in town out the water. Short for baked and grilled, these wings are complete with a crispy outside and kissed with a nice char from the grill. We originally planned on having an appetizer before our entree, but after the first round of wings we had to have a second. Seriously. They're so good we said to hell with an entree, these are the entree! We also tried the Arizona gold wings and hot wings but the honey hot just couldn't be beat. I can't wait to come back!

Restaurent name is: Lao Sze Chuan Chinese Restaurant
review: Authentic Chinese food in Champaign. We ordered frog, beef tripe, pan fried pork ban and beef wrap. All delicious Amazing food and the price is by far the best in the area for a sit down Chinese place. Very authentic and great service. I'm assuming the less than stellar reviews are probably from them adjusting from opening recently and definitely do not do Lao Szechuan justice. Highly recommended for authentic Szechuan food in the CU area! The food was terrible. We Ordered soup dumplings and had serious diarrhea afterwards!!! Also we tried the soup dumplings in Kungfu BBQ. It's really authentic. Couldnt complaint more on food, and they are just really good! The spicy beef we ordered is actually not that spicy meanwhile the savory stands out really well. The golden tofu is by far my favorite, just because spicy had never been my thing. Have to appreciate their service, if is only couple Chinese restaurant do care about service, food are quickly served, a great place to eat in if you just want something fast as well as quality! Worst service ever.. I went to grab some lunch with a friend and there were only two tables including ours. Took them 25 mins to get our orders while both of the servers were on their phone. We didn't want raise our hand or call them out cuz that's simply rude but we were starving so my friend went over the counter and asked if we can order, they said ok give me one minute, why? I don't know. Maybe they had a rush hour before we came it and were tired? Maybe they thought they wouldn't get a decent tip from us? Idk what the deal was. But anyway, if you've been there and got good a service, good for you, but if you were in the same boat as me, sucks. Don't think I'd ever coming back but if I really do crave their food, getting a takeout would be a better choice for me.

Restaurent name is: Jilbert Winery
review: My husband and I just got married at Jilbert Winery this past weekend. We had an outdoor ceremony in the back and our reception in the barn. Both settings were beautiful! We had received compliments on the barn where we held the reception. It was the perfect size for our small wedding (approximately 80 people). \n\nDave was so accommodating, kind, and knowledgable about both his wine and beer products. We also received multiple comments on the taste of the craft beer and wine slushies (my favorite!) The food was AMAZING! And the caterer, Melissa from Blue Ribbon Catering out of Norwalk, was so accommodating to us as well and willing to work with us to make sure we had exactly what we wanted for our menu selections on the big day. \n\nOverall, the venue was beautiful. The ambiance in the barn was breathtaking and our guest thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We did wish that the dance floor was a little larger but we do understand that it is a restructured barn and that for the safety of all, the space was limited. \n\nWe are so happy that we choose to celebrate with our friends and family at Jilbert Winery on our wedding day! I love it here. So peaceful and serene. Dave the owner is so friendly. Wine is delicious. Stopped in today and had a nice refreshing recharge with Cardinal Sin. I\'ve been here a few times for wine. Nice, laid back atmosphere. We decided to have an event here for 50 people. You pay to get the room, tables and linens. Everything else you provide yourself. Seeing as how pretty much the only thing the venue had to do was put table cloths out for us I was disappointed that the linens were all wrinkled. They looked like they had been stored all balled up then placed on the tables. When we told the owner he replied "well, they\'re cotton they get wrinkly" ummm, what?!! On top of that several had stains and water marks. I literally had my husband bring up our own steamer so I could atleast try to fix the wrinkles but unfortunately we did not have time before the event to do so. The room was cold because it was winter so we asked to have the fire places turned on. The owner sort of argued that once our guests arrived it would get so hot and advised not to turn them on. Finally it was so cold we demanded they be turned on. The room did not get overly hot as he had advised. I would return just to have some wine outside but I would have reservations about hosting an event here again. We visited this today spur of the moment...we enjoy visiting wineries and had not visited this one. It is about an hour from our home. The man (maybe the owner) was friendly, even funny. Unfortunately, none of the wines were great. I like more body in my wines and that just was not there. My husband tried the 3 beers...again, nothing outstanding.\nUnfortunately, again, will we make a point of taking friends there? Sadly, no. We had a surprise anniversary party here. It was PERFECT! Dave was extremely accommodating. Melissa, the caterer, did an outstanding job. Everyone was raving about the food. At night with all the lights lit there is a wonderful ambience. All of the guests expressed how much they enjoyed this unique venue. I highly recommend it.

Restaurent name is: Moshe Shawarma
review: The food here at Moshes is excellent. The staff is very helpful and accommodating. Have so far been here multiple times and will definitely return. The side salads and fries were delicious. I can't see why anyone would ever leave there hungry Best Shawarma in twon!!! Very clean , very good service!! Definitely gonna come again!! Great food, great service!\nHighly recommended. \nWas looking for a good authentic Hummus in Vegas for a long time and I'm glad I've just found one! Amazing food \nauthentic israeli food glatt kosher \nThe shawarma is like back home \nthe closest u can get to back home by the taste the environment and the quality \nthank u moshe \n\nGreat place to eat lunch dinner and breakfast \n\nShawarma kabob falafel hummus and more .\nCome over u will love it Not really A-OK as the 3-star Yelp review says, but I don't think they deserve 2 stars. I entered in the mid afternoon. First thing I noticed is that most of the tables had not been bussed so the place didn't feel clean. Then ordering was a chore due to the language barrier. Food itself was good, but nothing special. It was pretty much the same as many other Middle-Eastern restaurants. Servings were big, I'll give them that. Then paying was also a chore, again due to the limited English skills of the counter guy. I'll probably never be back.

Restaurent name is: Great Wall of China
review: Ordered with a group from work. Most thought it was disgusting. I ordered Chicken Fried Rice because I\'m always wary of unfamiliar Chinese food and thought, hey! how hard is Chicken Fried Rice to screw up? Well apparently it\'s not hard! There were only bean sprouts, greasy rice, and dark meat/fatty/gristly chicken. HORRIBLE. Never again. If I were starving I wouldn\'t eat it. Oh, and my fortune cookie said "oops! wrong cookie." More like, oops! wrong restaurant. It was just gross. I had chicken and broccoli with fried rice and my boyfriend had General Tso. I tried both and neither had any flavor. The General Tso sauce did not taste good. The egg rolls were pretty good and my fortune was intriguing, but I would never eat there again. Used to be ok, but now everything tastes like old grease, especially the rice. Food was so bad I couldn't finish it -- will be the last time I order from here. I've made a promise that I wouldn't give a restaurant a rating of only one star unless it had some kind of problem with cleanliness, but this place tested me on that promise. This was the absolute worse!. \nTook my elderly uncle there and got the dinner for two for a variety of items and NOT one single item had any taste to it, not one. And the fried rice was the worse food of any type I've ever had in any restaurant in my entire life; no taste, no nothing, just a pile of blah. \nThe sweat and sour chicken was so hard I had a hard time cutting the outside with my knife and could hardly piece it with my fork.\nI would rate this restaurant as the White Castle of Chinese food, and that's being generous in my opinion, because I'd rather of had White Castle than whatever it was that they put on my plate.\nI'm sorry to say, everything, including the tea was simply not edible and I highly recommend anyone thinking of eating here think real hard about going here. In my opinion a waste of your money and a big, big, big disappointment to your taste buds. Again, if it weren't for my promise to give one star rating to those restaurants only with health issues, I'd of easily rated this only a one star. Oh how I want to break that promise right now. While the portions were okay, they advertise 'jumbo' shrimp in some of their dishes. We ordered two of these dishes and the shrimp weren't anywhere close to being 'jumbo'. In fact, they weren't even the regular size but the very tiny shrimp. It appeared that in one of the dishes they breaded 3 small shrimp together and deep fried them trying to make you think they were jumbo. All of the shrimp were prepared this way so it wasn't an accident. I think they need to revise their menu or change their meals. And having a very young girl bring me my carry-out is a bit disconcerting.

Restaurent name is: Italia Express
review: MMMM!! I was craving Italian that day and lucky me they had it at the food court.. this place is like a Sbarros, but I think its better.. my favorite is Chicken Parmesan and they actually had it!! Altho I didn't get it, last minute I changed my mind and got the Baked Ziti.. it was pretty good.. nice portion and it came with a big side of garlic bread.. yummy..for only 6.75? I think thats def worth it!! They also had lasagna, and your assortment of pizza, and stromboli, a friend of ours ordered.. was pretty big..Good food, and good prices.. they take card..you should def. give this place a try.. My money was well spent... Only grabbed a slice of pizza for my son and I. Fast cheap and easy just as you'd expect for a food court. Nothing to brag about but it hit the spot. Not terribly horrible for food court standard. A slice of pizza fresh out of the oven was actually decent. Sure beat some of the greasy oily pseudo Asian food. If you're looking for a quick bite while at the North Outlets, then this would be a pretty good choice - but I wouldn't add it to my rotation by any means. I got a slice of the veggie which came stacked high with broccoli (I know, broccoli on a pizza!! :D), tomatoes, black olives and cheese. Because the fresh ingredients had been sitting there for so long that they had to re-heat my piece before serving it to me, the crust was completely soggy, I had to attempt to eat it with a fork and knife. The flavors worked nicely, but the texture was all off. My husband got a slice of pepperoni and was happy with it, but he would eat anything shy of cardboard. \n\nThe beautiful garlic bread was quite intriguing, maybe we'll give it a try next time around, but I won't spring for a slice again. This is a very decent place....I think I might like it more than Sbarros! It's located in the food court of Las Vegas Premium Outlets. The workers are very hard working, and very efficient. Their pizza was good, although they could be a little less stingy with the toppings, and the prices were not that bad. I also ordered a salad, which had little itty bity bits of chicken (which was okay with me cause i didn't really want it for the chicken) but they had feta on it...and it was actually good feta, not too salty. So that was a plus. I would order here again.

Restaurent name is: Parlor Foods & Co
review: The short rib here is unbelievable. Great atmosphere and delicious food, a nice place to go out for some casual fine dining Had a wonderful anniversary dinner. The waiter was incredibly nice, and the food was wonderful (I had the Po Boy and my wife had the burger). Dessert was also fantastic. I highly recommended Parlor. Don't eat here! The service was terrible, the waitress mixed up our drinks, forgot to put in an order of appetizers, then when she was reminded, put in the wrong quantity so we were out one appetizer, then she mixed up our tea order and forgot to have them put a candle in my friend's birthday dessert. When they finally remembered, the hostess came to the table and asked out loud whose birthday it was and they proceeded to give us the exact same dessert we had just ordered and then lit the candle in front of us. So awkward for my friend as she is watching them do this. The waitress never once apologized or offered to comp anything, it's a shame because the food is actually decent but I would never come back here. There must be a plethora of good restaurants in the area because Parlour was totally empty when we arrived around 5:30 and on had a handful of tables occupied when we left just after 7:00.\n\nVery cool reclaimed barn plank entrance that makes you feel like you are walking into a club that may sport secret handshake;) More wood boarding on the interior and a ceiling tiles with used flour bags.\n\nWhile the portions are quite small they were all very good to excellent. Perfectly fresh slices of focaccia with dip and another app called Onion Tots were just what we needed as starters.\n\nOur mains of winter sausage, fish of the day and the house burger were all so good we didn't want to leave. And we didn't thank god because the butter Tart desserts may have been the highlight of a great meal.\n\nYou should go. Great food, great service. The flat iron steak was divine, and the smoked butternut squash is a must!

Restaurent name is: MLT DWN
review: They used to have a counter at the Carrefour Laval and I would dream of their fries!\n\nI've not tasted anything the I didn't like there, their tomatoe soup was very good, their numerous grilled cheese were great, their poutine gravy was yummy!\n\nI just hope I get to go to their restaurant, but its not really my neck of the wood! I was walking on mont-royal looking for some casual food. I was attracted by the big couches we could see from the window. I looked at the menu. Overpriced grilled cheese. Nevertheless, the poster says it was worth the price. My adventurous food habits push me to try it.\nNice concept. You make your own grilled cheese or select a pre-made. The staff recommended me the "Beef brisket" which was a popular choice. \nYou order, pay, sit and they bring you the food. :D \nI was amazed by the homemade ketchup (normal, spicy and pepper).\nTHE WAFFLE FRIES OMGOMOGMOMG. must try. \nIt\'s like something we used to know, but enhanced to a next level. \nFor the grilled cheese, it was tasty, crispy and the sauce made a huge difference. \nIt fills you up if you are not starving. \nThe fountain drink is too "fast-food" style. I\'d prefer a homemade drink. \nThey serve beer which is a great idea.\nI was confused whether I should wait for the waiter to pick up my tray or give it back. There was no "specified" place to give back the tray. \nFree wifi which was great. It may seem pricey for the meal (10-15$) for trio. Nevertheless, like I said, it\'s similar to what we are used to from fast-food, but quality is enhanced. \nMix between fast-food and normal restaurant service.\nOverall, good experience. Many possible combinations to try. \nRecommend for lunch/ afternoon meal. Great food but our food took about 30 mins to show. Later found out the machine didn't send out order to the kitchen. I would come back though since it seemed like a fluke. So I went to their location in Ottawa at the Rideau Center, and then noticed on Instagram that they had a store in Montreal on Mont-Royal so I had to check it out. First of the all store looks great and it was great for people watching. I went with the Jalape\xc3\xb1o Rancher this time and it was so freakin good, my cousin Frank had the Mac and Cheese and he said it was phenomenal. I tried the tomato bisque soup and dipped my sandwich in it, doesn't get any better. I look forward to the next time I'm in Ottawa or Montreal on business. So how ya gonna kick it? Gonna kick it MLT DWN! \n\nDude. Seriously. Omg. Seriously. Dude. This place makes a meaner melt than a summer snowfall. It's cheesier than your dad's joke book. It's got more flavour than a packet of MSG. Needless to say, MLT DWN has the goods. The Rancher and Pulled Pork are my faves, but if you only want a snack, you can't go wrong with the Classic. Oh, and while you're at it, tack on an order of basket fries. In fact, add a whole basket of basket fries - they're so tasty that they basically redefine what a fry should be. \n\nAnd did I mention the service? The owner remembered me from my first visit... a month ago! Plus, he understands the difference between a gluten intolerance and coeliac disease, which is the restaurant equivalent of striking oil in your backyard. \n\nOfficially my #1 grilled cheese spot in Montreal and so should you.

Restaurent name is: Denny's
review: First time for me at a Denny's. I am a breakfast FAN so I cannot comment on other items on the menu. WHAT a bargain: got the value menu I think called a slam. Two eggs (anyway you want) two pieces of bacon or sausages and two pancakes for $4. I really liked the pancakes!!!! Excellent meal! I drink water so where can you get breakfast for $4 + tax+ tip? Will be back. Loved the service at this location! Misty was my server and she was amazing! She was very fast, friendly, checked up on us numerous times, etc! The manager was walking around asking if the customers were enjoying their food & stuff. I love when managers do that because I can tell them how well their server is doing and such. The food was also amazing! I ordered that cinnamon pancake dish and it was sooooo yummy! Will definitely be returning :) The employees were helpful and lovely. However, I waited thirty extra minutes in the empty lobby on Thanksgiving for an online order that should have been finished when I got there, then did not receive various items from it. An employee sat down with me to explain where everything was accounted for in the bags, and I took his word for it. Stuffing was not included with the turkey meal, tortillas were not included with the skillet meal, and all a la carte items were missing. The fried pancake pieces were inedible, tasting like old dingy oil, but the other parts of the order received were okay. Lesson learned to not skip cooking next year. This location tends to be busy almost all of the time, but despite that, most of the time the service is good, but not ALL the time.. food is always great and the place is always well taken care of. Recommended. We have been coming to this Dennys since it opened. We have had consistent food quality and some excellent staff/service. \n\nThe last two visits have been less than good. Last visit with my daughter, the food was not good, but the server was average. Seemed like they cooked up the smallest chicken strips in the bag and cooked them to death. She refuses to complain, so she just ate the "chicken jerky."\n\nThis visit, the hostess seated us at a wet table. It had been wiped down but was still very wet. Hubby asked waiter for a towel to wipe away the water and he argued with him. The waiter brought the napkins, hubs wiped the table and scrubbed the sticky spots and stuck on food off of the table. He left the napkin exposed to show the waiter. The waiter argued that it was the sanitizing solution. Really? \n\nI ordered 4 eggs, scrambled hard. They came slimy and only 2 eggs. I sent them back. Got 4 eggs. Still slimy. Sent back again. Now the rest of my food is cold. I am angry. Not a great experience. \n\nThey get 2 stars because my hubby\'s food was just fine.

Restaurent name is: Chinese Dumplings
review: I was craving dumplings so I ended up here, without knowing anything except for the name, "Chinese Dumplings" (10 points for originality here, haha).\n\nAnd boy was I surprised! This place is great! I got the combo dumplings (spinach & mushrooms, chicken and pork & cabbage) plus the wonton soup (did I mention I was craving dumplings?) and I think I spent something under 15$.\n\nThe dumplings are amazing and the soup is huge (i got the "small" one, I am afraid of what\'s "large" for Chinese Dumplings honestly...) so all in all a definite thumbs up for this place.\n\nA nice thing is that you can see the dumplings being made at the front, which is pretty cool. The good: reasonable prices and good portions, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Still thinking about the crispy beef and pan fried dumplings. \n\nThe so so: it's greasy (which to some is a plus and some a minus... So I'm treating it as a neutral point).\n\nThe bad: minimal parking Really great dumplings and flavor! I ordered the boiled pork, shrimp and cabbage, fried shrimp and vegetable dumplings, and garlic eggplant. The fried shrimp and vegetable dumpling was perfect and delicious. The boiled pork, shrimp and cabbage were a little bit salty but didn't bother me too much. The garlic eggplant was one of the best I had. The prices are reasonable and they were really nice to accommodate delivering outside of their zone for me! Would definitely be ordering again in the near future! 2.5. We ate here on a Sat afternoon and the place was empty. We were put off at once by a sticky table. The dumplings, however, were good and were prepared in the front window as we waited. The steamed were fine, the fried ok as well. We had green beans too, very tasty but a too-huge portion.\n All in all, the lack of cleanliness spoiled pretty good food. This is could be the reliable Chinese takeout joint that St. Clair West has been lacking. I had the spinach and pork & chive dumplings (they are super crispy with an extra shell of crispiness). The spicy eggplant could be more garlic-y and less oily and vinegary. The General Tao chicken is a standard Westernized dish that is pretty good considering I never order it because it's so inauthentic by definition. The price is a tad high but if you stick to one or two dishes, that'll be enough for a single meal on the fly.

Restaurent name is: Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
review: Everything about our visit here was good. We stopped in after some shopping and were promptly seated and server came right over to get drinks and take our order. Food came out quickly as ordered and both were pleased with our meal. Always been a Olive Garden fan and this was no exception as everything was delightful I have been a fan of olive garden for a long time but this particular location is a hit or a miss. We visited this location for lunch on last Sunday and ordered lemon chicken and tilapia. Tilapia was broken ND not cooked properly, the broccoli was raw. When we told the waitress she said this was how it was prepared. The salad which she brought was bland and on requesting to change it.. she got a cup with the dressing. Probably the staff needs more training but I can see it is hurting the brand. It was the WORST experience we have ever had at a restaurant. I even cirsed and I never have do. But I was pissed off with the terrible service. The waitress took 20 minutes to get us water. It took her 3-4 times for me to ask for lemon to get it. She doesn\'t seem to understand what multitask is and she would bring one thing at a time. It took her 10 more minutes for the soup and bread (30 minutes into the visit). But did not bring the cheese or lemons. Still no milk for my son. She finally brought it but forgot the cheese. 10 minutes later my soup was cold by the time I got the cheese. Not even 1 bite when a piece of hair was on my soup plate and it took her another 10 minutes to get a new one.\n\nI called by phone (from my table) to try to get a manager to come to our table. Not busy (maybe 4 tables total) and the girls were hanging up on the calls. There were 3 times the employees than customers. Finally after several attempts, some girl picks up and despite my request for a manager, he never came. She told me she would send one but never did. They ignored us and other customers.\n\n50 minutes since we came in the door still no food. My children starving and I was heated and frustrated. I walked inside the kitchen to get the manager myself. Just to find him and others not doing ANYTHING in the kitchen relaxing.\n\nThe restaurant was not busy at all. Not understaffed. No excuse for this poor service. \nThe manager reactions were so slow, that make me fee he might be on drugs or under the influence. I dropped the F word and complained about their service. Still he came to the table and did NOTHING. Listened for 10 minutes and did not offered to speed up anything or correct it. Just acted like a total useless idiot "ummmm what do you want me to do", "what can I do"? That is what managers do: resolve problems, not ask the customer how to do it.\n\nBut no offers to hurry up and take charge to fix it. He appeared lost and had no clue what to do. Definitely incapable of being a manager.\nWe were very upset, but not arguing/yelling, just getting our points across. But he was completely useless and doesn\'t appear knowledgeable of manager duties and responsibilities. Not sure if he is new or what the problem was. \nI have never experienced this poor service EVER. One whole hour wasted from 9pm till 10pm when we stood up and left without eating since the manager did not offer to get up his butt and try to get the food ready for us. Went to Dennis & ate in 15 minutes! The food is very good but when I walked in I had to wait about half an hour just to get a seat. I then had to wait another half an hour for the food. It is a bit pricey considering it was only 2 of us and it was about 50 in total. servers are kind but I wish the service was faster.I would recommend ordering online and picking up, it's way faster. Food was good, our waiter was great. Almost a perfect experience except the hostess bitch was RUDE (fat one)!!

Restaurent name is: Slide Food Cart
review: Slide Food Cart - one more thing that makes summer my favorite! Lucky enough to work near a scheduled stop during the weekday lunch hour and it's always a great lunch to be had! I've tried most of them and vary my choice with the day and my mood, but I never pass on chips and homemade ranch as the side! One slider, especially depending on who is making them, plus chips is usually plenty for lunch. Days like today when I can't pass up either the Reuben OR How do you say the name of that pepper - well, I'm feeling pretty gluttonous but it's worth it! \nThe owner is really nice and really invested in her business. We have utilized Slide's catering services for our office Christmas party and she does a fantastic job with catering too. I tried Slide about a year ago now for lunch. I ordered 2 sliders with a Groupon, and they came with chips and a drink. I took them home to eat, and I'm really glad I did because I cut into them to find that they were raw! I'm totally fine with medium cooked burgers, but these were cold and bright red in the center. I ended up having to microwave them to cook them through and eat them. The chips were good and the sliders were otherwise fine.\n\nBased on other reviews it sounds like my experience was uncharacteristic of Slide, but I was really not pleased. While I'm glad others have not had this issue, I unfortunately don't think I am brave enough to try Slide again. YUM. So many yums. I tried Slide for the first time today as a departure from my usual Banzo and it was great. (I'm not comparing them, though--the genres are so different that it's not really possible.) First, the naming. What is more clever than a pulled pork slider named Wilbur? Nothing is, that's what. Second, the food. I got a Buff Chick (buffalo chicken) and a Wilbur, and both were delicious. And each slider comes with homemade chips PLUS your choice of side.\n\nThe only things I didn't like:\n-The spiciness of the Buff Chick; I had quite the coughing fit after the first bite. I have zero tolerance for spicy food, though, so maybe a buffalo chicken sandwich wasn't the smartest choice.\n-Both my little burgers got very wet sitting in their meat juices in their little box as I carried them to work. One of the buns was partly disintegrated by the time I could eat it. Sad.\n-The bun/meat ratio was a little much for me. I do like to have enough meat on a slider, but these were overflowing! A tad bit less meat would be way easier to eat.\n\nBut the cart staff are nice, and I'm sure as their business grows, they'll make adjustments here and there. Now that I know I like Slide, I'm planning my return trips to try the rest of the menu... You could go for a chain restaurant meal loaded with artificial crap or you could get home cooking without the hassle at slide. These little sandwiches are exactly what I would make for myself at home, but thanks to slide, I don't have to do the dishes or sweat over a stove.\n\nI also love the value for the money here with house made chips, fresh fruit, cole slaw, and more available as included sides. \n\nThe buffalo chicken is fiery hot, and loaded with bleu cheese crumbles. It's a classic flavor combo that makes my mouth water every time.\n\nThe better than your Italian mama's meatball sandwich actually had a surprise ball of melted mozzarella in the middle that sent it over the top. There's cheese in the middle! I love cheese! I love this sandwich, and so will you! Some idiot on yelp claimed they got a raw beef burger here. Dear moron, this place doesn't sell burgers. The sandwich you got was a meatball. It was cold because you waited until you got home to eat it. The redness you saw was tomato sauce. It's fully cooked, and it's glorious. \n\nThe curried sweet potato is a unique twist that I never would have thought of, but it totally works. It's spicy, adventurous, and delicious!\n\nI could go on and on about all the different flavors, or you could just trust me, and go! Check their Facebook page for the latest on locations. Slide Food Truck catered lunch on the day of my wedding (we got married at a campground), and I cannot overstate how fantastic they were. The food was delicious - everyone could not stop talking about it. We had an assortment of sandwiches and each one was awesome, and of course, the chips were amazing. Plus, the women working the cart were so friendly and accommodating - they could not have been nicer. I would recommend that anyone considering a food truck for their wedding look these ladies up. They are as good as it gets.

Restaurent name is: Waynak Modern Halal Eatery
review: Great service, loved the hummus! Beet salad was great too. In from out of town and they were just opening up. Fresh pizza (they say the dough is made daily). Lots of options for sodas/teas. Yesterday, some of us at my office ordered from Waynak because one of us eats Halal. The food was plentiful in serving size and it was a very good value.\n\nI ordered the Volcano pizza. Highly recommended if you like spicy - but not TOO spicy. It was just the right amount of heat. My co-workers were all satisfied as well. We look forward to ordering from here again. Awesome place:) Amazing Shisha and the Owner Sam is a great very professional and friendly person and very quick service and very reasonable prices. I give this place 5 stars. Chicken was slightly undercook however the shawarma was still filling and had good seasoning! There seem to be an exceptionally high number of fake Google reviews, but this place was good when I went.\n\nService was outstanding. The cashier took the time to explain how the meal pricing works. I had the beef kebab with rice and steamed vegetables. She had told me the beef kebab was the juiciest and it did not disappoint! The garlic sauce is made in-house and tasted great on the bed of rice. The steamed vegetables had the right level of moisture - not too dry and not soggy.\n\nThey also serve pizza. My guess is that they've taken over the pizza oven/equipment from the place that was previously at this location, but the pizza coming out of the oven definitely looked good.\n\n20% off discount for students.\n\nWiFi is waynak-guest and the password is slice123

Restaurent name is: Se\xc3\xb1or Taco
review: Yummy cheap food! Everything is fresh and tastes great! So glad we found this gem. I love their rolled chicken things and they have this awesome Carna asade fries that are gluten free Great food every time. Recommend the Carne Asada burrito or fish tacos. Just don't ask for extra napkins. Apparently salsa is free but napkins are rationed. We ordered carry out - tacos- first time from ordering here. The tacos were terrible, the meat actually tasted like it had been in the garbage. I have never had a bad taco before. They weren't edible. We ordered a few other items and I wish I could say something positive - but there isn't anything. Skip this place. Immaculate bathrooms. Great GREAT Mexican food. My wife and I came after needing some Mexican food. We came on Sunday. Not very busy. Slow to get the food for a fast food resturant. The food was AMAZING. I had the green chilli burrito combo with rice and beans. My wife had quesadilla chicken. Both amazing. On our second visit I had the fajitas. Also amazing. Their beans are so wonderful. Everything we have had was seriously good. We have been at least 10 tomes since I started this review. Our go to place for Mexican food now. There is a couple Mexican food places in this area, however, this place is by far the best place out of all of them. The taste and the portion defiantly gives you your money's worth. The salsa bar is great, I wish they gave you some additional chips to go with the salsa. The place is very reasonably priced, very clean, the ambiance is very neat for the size of the restaurant, and the owner is a very nice gentleman.

Restaurent name is: QDOBA Mexican Eats
review: As a burrito expert and someone with ties in the area I have been to this location a zillion times. The staff is great. The burritos are solid. They are very good when you consider the other options in the area. Place is clean. That's all I can ask for being that clevelands specialty is absolutely not Tex mex. Staff are really friendly, prepare delicious food quick and make sure your order is correct.\nMost of the time someone comes over while I'm eating my meal to see if I'm enjoying it and if I need anything. Great customer service and food. I tried Qdoba to compare it to Chipotle. I got the bowl with the grilled chicken. You definitely get more for the money, everything is included. At chipotle you have to pay extra for guacamole. Qdoba also has a better selection of meat. I'm going to try the brisket next or pulled pork. I'm glad I gave this place a try, I'll definitely be back. Just no sense of urgency at all. None. How can this place even stay open. The food is good, like all Qdobas, but the workers just refuse to put any effort in. Chipotle has to see triple the customers Like I said earlier, they always run out of peppers. The biggest problem I faced on my recent visit was the manager telling one of the workers to give me burned bits/scraps of what was left of the peppers instead of giving me the option to wait. Not cool.

Restaurent name is: El Camino Restaurant
review: I was not impressed with this restaurant. My husband and I stopped here for dinner before heading to Park Terrace for a movie. We only had about an hour for dinner, and we figured that would be plenty of time. The restaurant was empty when we got inside. I found this a little unusual for a new place, but figured it was just a slow night. With it being so slow, I assumed I would get fast service. Not the case! We sat for 10 minutes before someone asked us what we would like to drink. It took several more minutes before we were able to get our order in. \n\nI ordered a spinach and cheese quesadilla with a side of refried beans. I figured I would keep it simple, since I wasn't sure of their food quality. Maybe 15 minutes later I got a cheese and chicken quesadilla with no beans. I told the waitress that wasn't what I ordered, but because we had a movie to catch, I didn't want her to bring me out a new entree. I decided to just eat the chicken quesadilla. It was very greasy and not very good. My husband got a three taco entree and said only one taco was really edible. I ended up eating his beans, since I never got my own. There are much better Mexican restaurants than this place. I wouldn't recommend eating here. Um... Might have been our worst experience in Charlotte. It took 20 mins to for the waitress to take our order. On top of waiting another 20 minutes for the food to arrive, our order was not correct. Instead of waiting for a reorder, we ate what we wanted and topped off our bellies with chips. The food was meh at best. The "manager" bypassed our table several times even after asking if the people next to us were enjoying themselves. They did comp one of the entrees and a margarita. Felt like this deserved my first post on yelp. Left a bad taste in our mouths. Will not return! Have been coming to El Camimo for a few months. Food is excellent staff is friendly and prices very reasonable. I love the Ceaser salad the fajitas are great. You will not leave hungry and it will not break the bank. Terrible and bland food. Had a groupon offer and went expecting mediocre Mexican with some good beer specials and decent appetizers. I really wanted to give this management team one more shot. \n\nI tried the "Iguana Enchiladas" and found three or four hairs in the dish. It was over cooked and looked as though the chef had just forgotten about it. I also noticed the chefs smoking cigarettes outside when we left. I know this is common, but please tell your chefs to go BEHIND the building! \n\nOn top of that, the server was rude and we were rushed out of the building as they were setting up for the "night club" that is conveniently located IN THE SAME ROOMS as this "restaurant". \n\nIt seems to me that the only reason the management opened up this restaurant is because they needed a way to keep the alcohol flowing in the club, and thus had to act as a restaurant as they closed the \'Andrew Blair\'s\' restaurant as a result of poor food and lack of clientele. \n\nAvoid this place at all costs. It\'s also comical that there are dozens of fake reviews with 5 stars from people that have one total review and just made their accounts in the last week! Enchiladas = No. Don\'t do it. Seriously. I had the cheese enchiladas and the "red" sauce I thought they would come with was instead very nearly brown and was not appealing to me. That coupled with the very brown, slightly hard rice and clumped beans, covered in cheese that wasn\'t even warm because it sat too long before I received it (and therefore was clumped cheese as well). I was not happy at all with my meal choice but I was with our office staff and so I did not make a big deal, I just ate what I could. I ordered the Mexican flag (guac, pico and sour cream) and that came on lettuce so I scraped all the sauce off one enchilada and tried to make it a salad. Yeah, whatever. The rest of my tummy I filled with water. Needless to say, I felt gross when I left (lol). The chips and salsa served as appetizers were not bad but it was too salty for my taste. The pico appeared and tasted very fresh. A few members of our table ordered the side salad and that also appeared fresh and I was totally jealous I did not order one. A couple other members of the table had chicken fajitas and they appeared very appetizing. Each of them said they were happy with their choice. So, guess it was just me and my stupid attraction to enchiladas that got me in trouble here. Haha.

Restaurent name is: Monta Chaya
review: Since most of the negative reviews are about poor service during the Henderson Grand Opening, I thought I'd stop by to share some information that actually matters: THE FOOD IS REALLY GOOD. I stopped by yesterday with my boyfriend. I had the Karaage and the Tonkotsu Ramen. So good. It would be nice if they had a chicken option since I try to avoid pork, but I did see a veggie option on the menu (with veggie broth - bonus points!). I'm used to circling the parking lot 20 times to find parking at Monta in Chinatown, so it was a nice change to immediately find a spot at this location. We'll be back! Dont get me wrong monta has always been my go to ramen place .no one comes close to monta so if your in the mood for some ramen then come here you wont be disappointed. The reason for my 3 star rating is because ive waited for so long for the new location to open up. My wife and i called to place a tp go prder and they told me that they weren't doing to go orders yet . I tryed again today its been weeks and still no take out orders . So if your trying to prder to go to bother . We finally came back after missing this place after a long hiatus. The staff was polite and attentive, but things were definitely a little crazy as it was their soft opening. A couple hiccups occurred, but it's the first day open so it's understandable. We'll definitely be back! Missed having you in Henderson! So glad Monta is back!!! I have been here twice already since they opened!! Things are a little slow cause they just opened but they look like they are working out the kinks and apologized for any wait times on orders. The ramen is better than even if you ask me!! Soooo good!!! The crispy rice is different now but I approve! We just had to return within a few days as we were craving the ramen already. I am so happy to say they have greatly improved since opening day. We got our apps and ramen timely and it was all delicious. The only thing I believe is an issue is the gyoza fryer. It's slow, sticks and only makes two orders at a time. Service was on point as well. We shall be regulars again.

Restaurent name is: Kennedy's at Stone Creek
review: Great looking place with mediocre food and high prices. The quality to price ratio is so low here that I cannot recommend it. The staff has been snooty to me and the food is just not worthy of the reputation it seems to have among locals. Save\nYour money and go elsewhere. I recently held my little sister's bridal shower at Kennedy's as it was her favorite restaurant in the Champaign-Urbana area. Everything was perfect! We were there for a while (opening presents etc) and both hosts were very attentive to my needs and went above and beyond to make sure I was stress free for the shower. The food spread was beautiful, we had a perfect amount, everything tasted amazing and everyone was impressed! As the shower was concluding, we walked out on the patio behind the restaurant and had some wine...it overlooked the golf course and was a gorgeous scene for family pictures.\n\nI was also recently attending a conference at the I hotel but wanted to go some place that was nice for lunch with several of my colleagues...so we headed down the road to Kennedy's. I had the mushroom explosion soup-- hands down the best soup I've ever had. I also had one of their fresh seasonal salads (I had one with strawberries and goat cheese). My friend had a sandwich and the other had a salad and mushroom explosion soup as well. Both were very impressed with the service, food quality, and the price for lunch was an AMAZING deal for the quality we received.\n\nI will plan on returning to Kennedy's for special occasions and anytime that I am ever in town on business. I was taken here for my birthday. Since we had not spent any money on a real night out in a long time, it was supposed to be a special treat. It was a bad/sad waste of time, money, and calories. It really pissed me off because this place was recommended to me by somebody whose opinion in these matters I really trust (read: fat guy).\n\nEverything that we ordered was bad or wrong. If dressing was supposed to be on the side, it was on the top. Soup is supposed to be warm, and the items in the soup are supposed to be cooked through and tender (I think it was an apple and sweet potato soup, or maybe a butternut squash soup, either way it was shitty shitty). The entree's were similarly bad, bland, or messed up. \n\nI attribute all this to poor training of the staff, both the cooks and the servers. I think that both draw from the student/teenager subset of service workers and not the career waitstaff personnel that you would hope work at a restaurant of this caliber (price range). On paper the menu sounds good, but no item was as good as its potential. I wish this was a better place, as it is really close to home, but I will never return to give it a second chance. This restaurant was such a disappointment for me. When I asked around from students who had been there before, they all told me it was a really nice elegant tasty restaurant. That is far from the truth. I expected something really nice and posh, and well...tasty.\n\nInstead, when we got there everything looked really cheap and tacky. I'm not sure if it's because this place was in Urbana and they thought they didn't need to be nice or what, but it just was sad. \n\nI thought maybe the food would redeem itself, but NO. We ordered the caprese and let me say I've had much much better. The whole thing was so inedible. We ordered that because it looked like an appetizer that you cannot mess up, but we were wrong. \n\nIn addition, my friend is a vegetarian and they had only one or two items on the entire menu that were vegetarian friendly. I hate when a restaurant skimps out on vegetarian meals. I am not a vegetarian, but I do like to occasionally skip on meat. The whole menu in general did not give a classy vibe. I do not know if it's because I've seen really good menus in Chicago and I'm being biased, but this was not good at all.\n\n\nThe vegetarian pasta I ordered was really extremely bland. It supposedly had pesto sauce, but you could barely taste it, and the veggies were definitely undercooked for sure.\n\nWhen I heard it was supposed to be a nice dressy place I put on a dress and thought I'd blend in well, but then when we got there, it was a mix of people really dressed up and others wearing sweats and a t-shirt. I do not know what that was all about, but it turned me off. \n\n\nI hear the steaks are great, so maybe that's the only thing they specialize in?\n\nI can understand why someone living in Urbana or Champaign would come here seeing as there are limited nice restaurants in the area, but I would rather go to Timpones, Biaggis or Jim Gould's over Kennedy's. Kennedy's has closed! With little notice, it's final day was Sunday, January 22, 2012.

Restaurent name is: ChinaTown Buffet
review: Visited this restaurant for dinner..... worst service from Joan the server! She was very rude, disrespectful, and not friendly at all!!! In general, I am not a fan of Chinese buffets. They start out amazing, but then as time goes on, they become a mess and the quality of their food turns sour. However, this is not the case with Chinatown Buffet. No, they are not amazing, but their food quality has been pretty consistent. \n\nYou can get a good selection of Chinese foods and be a patron of their mediocre sushi bar. You can also create your own stir fry or ask for a steak to be grilled for you. There's plenty of seating here and you generally know what you're coming here for -- quantity, not quality. If you have that as your mindset, you won't necessarily be disappointed.\n\nOverall, Chinatown Buffet isn't bad. It's cheap and you get your fill. Why are you reading reviews of a buffet? There's not much to say. Chinatown is a Chinese buffet, and that's all you really need to know. There is a huge selection of foods, including a decent sushi bar, desert table, and a pretty good stir-fry grill. A few dishes are really good but the majority are just ok - but that's the point of a buffet, really. Came here for Valentines Day when it was busy, and honestly the food was extremely fresh given that there were a lot of customers coming in and out. The sushi was the best part of this buffet, including rainbow rolls, spicy salmon, ahi tuna rolls, and California rolls, along with the BBQ Chicken Wings, Crab Rangoons, and made to order Rib Eye Steaks that are fresh never frozen. \nCome here when it's busy, and you won't be disappointed! \nThere aren't much Asian buffets in Champaign, but this one made one of my favorites after visiting here for the first time. We expect to come back here every Sunday for our weekend dine-out meal. Keep up the great food! Good price for an abundance of food. I went there for their Christmas buffet. It's normally $12 which is a good price, but, without asking he only charged me $11 for the senior price, must be my grey hair. Thanks, sincerely. I also got a Lime Margarita, (I'm thinking the bar service is kind of new,) Quite tasty. They have a nice variety of food, which includes crab legs. Having to fight for the crab legs, I did manage to get my fill. I tried the frog legs, just to say I tried them, but did not try the pickled chicken feet. They have an attractive variety of sushi, but, I overheard it wasn't anything special. I stuffed myself, and will go back soon. There is no way you can try it all.

Restaurent name is: Rounders
review: Like the sun tricking through the forest, The place is wonderful great people, will return there often thanks \nAshl inc The best hands down hotwings and the customer service was amazing I'll be back for sure!! The best fish tacos!! I know it sounds crazy but it's true!! Chris & Greg are my favorite bartenders and they are so accommodating!! I always have a fresh adult beverage and never have to ask for a refill;)- This poker bar has potential to be a fun hangout spot, but a few roadblocks are in place. I went on a Thursday evening to meet a few friends and redeem a text club promo for $40 play to bring a new slot club member. The location is not ideal, with what appears to be a vacant office building behind the building where Rounders is. There was a person sleeping in the alcove close to the Rounders entrance, and I was curious to see what was going on behind the building, but thought better of it. Getting into the complex from Buffalo is a pain too, although there's another entrance from Peace. Their sign is pretty cool- it changes colors. \n\nThere were a few customers at the bar when I arrived, and other than our party of 3, it wasn't busy while we were there. A few more people came in as we were about to leave. I couldn't miss the (multiple) security monitors in full sight of my seat at the bar. Not sure what to make of that! The food is better than decent, and the chicken fingers and fries I tasted were excellent. My friend had chicken sliders and said they were also pretty good. This is annoying- they have different people dealing with food orders and beverage orders. When only 2 customers in the entire place are eating, I don't get it. I didn't order food, and probably wouldn't have if I was hungry but had to deal with that! \n\nFor you gaming enthusiasts, their comp policy is available right at the bar! I was intrigued, to say the least. Surprisingly, it doesn't state that one drink per $20 will be comped, as is the norm at many poker bars. It does state that continuous play is required for comped drinks. Fair enough! I posted a pic of the policy with my review. I took advantage of the card of the day promo for hitting a 4 of a kind in 10s, and received $10 to use instantly in my account. Another wacky thing here is the freestanding poker machines. They have about 6 of them and I didn't play those but am a fan of having that option! \nAll in all, I walked out a winner, as did both my friends, so that part of the visit was a success! I don't think many people know how yummy their Rounders burgers are until they've randomly sat for a drink and ordered food. Juicy, beefy medium rare patty hugged between two toasty and fluffy brioche buns. I even forgot to take a photo in a fit of hunger. It's not Gordon Ramsay but it's definitely a good ol' bar style burger.\n\nThe service is welcoming and friendly -- like your typical neighborhood bar. Not crowded and obnoxiously loud. Clean establishment and perfect for a small group of friends. They have food 24/7 so late night cravings are welcomed. \n\nGive it a try whenever you're in the Spring Valley hood.

Restaurent name is: Nozy
review: Best Japanese restaurant in Montreal!!!\nA small cozy restaurant. We came here Thursday and arrived before 6pm, so it was pretty empty but we could choose where to sit.\nMy friend was debating either to get uni don or Kaisen don, she chose uni don because daily special tends to be fresher?! I ordered unagi don\nAnd we made the right choice.\nThis uni don, the sea urchin was the best one that I ever had it in Montreal. \nToday is Saturday, and I'm want to go back right now.... I like this little Japanese gem in St-Henri. They don\'t serve sushi, but instead go for a more "home cooked" style of Japanese food. I\'m a fan of their Karaage, Uni Don, Toro Don, and Sashimi overall. Food is great, but a little pricy given the small portion. We made reservation for 1:00 pm, but the restaurnat was quite empty at that time. They are serving Uni Don ($28) these days, so don't miss the chance! My friend had Take Kago($17), which is a combination of 5 entr\xc3\xa9e. The eggplant pur\xc3\xa9e and karaage are pretty good. Fantastic place. The menu is small but very well thought out. The salmon chirashi is my favorite. I get veggie dip every time, the karaage is delicious and the specials are great. I had a black cod in miso that was awesome. I eat there almost every week now. I was very surprised! Positively! From the outside, it's a rustic deco, it also looks like a dessert place, clean and neat, with the white wooden chairs.\nWe reserved for two, the waitress was really nice, she explained the Japanese menu, teishoku style and the chefs special plates.\nWe were inspired, and ordered:\nKARAAGE; fried chicken\nVEGETABLE PANCAKE; Vegetable pancake okonomiyaki style\nUNI IKURA DON (SEASONAL DISH); Sea urchin, salmon tartar and roe served over rice, with miso soup\nKAISEN DON; Assorted sashimi, sweet shrimp and quail egg served over rice\nWith a refreshing Kirin beer\nFinally the food was to die for !!! I would definitively recommend it, and come again. It's definitively my favorite japanese restaurant in montreal.

Restaurent name is: Antlers Tavern
review: The bartenders they hire are great. Seems like this place has a good crew of regulars, with bowling teams, etc. pinned up on the walls. \nBut.....I have to say that this is one of the sketchiest bars I've ever been to. In the hour or so we stopped in for cocktail after dinner on a Friday, I was thoroughly confused as to how this place is in business. People are angsty to fight, some were so sh*tfaced they were unable to function, the bar smells just terribly (like really, really, really dirty fryers), and the exterior is scary at best with dark areas and lots of people lurking about. \nI super don't get it...... I want to get it...... I just don't get it. Great burgers and cheap drinks. If you are looking for a great hole in the wall bar this is it. Never been here until the new owner Chris took over. He is super nice and super inviting! Love locally owned bars and this one is one of my favorites! Cheap drinks, SUPER great burgers and that family bar atmosphere! Would deff recommend checking out this place! One of the sketchiest bars in the Madison area. A friend and I stopped in for a nightcap out of morbid curiosity. This bar is dark on the outside; there are dangerous, predatory low-lifes on the inside. Rude, unprofessional bartenders who have no clue what they are serving. Want to see a fight or get in one? Want to be called misogynist/ homophobic slurs and get verbally harassed by drunk dudes (I was also punched pretty hard in the arm by this same guy)? Then Antlers is your kind of dive... we left in disgust after one beer, and will never return. I mean, really: I was afraid of being attacked while walking back to my car in the lot. This place. Well super good at fence repair and overall overwhelming despair. Christmas lights help with the fact youre destroying your family and kids future. 11 bucks for 2 double drinks. Lots of randos who will ask you to snapchat them. Bummer, no line in bathroom.

Restaurent name is: BarBurrito - Brampton
review: Best burrito place. My husband and I go there frequently. It's the only place that makes their burritos spicy enough.\nPlus I think it's much better then burrito boyz. Love it more than BurritoBoyz because of the ground beef option. It is a little cheaper than BurritoBoyz but after branching out to more options, i especially love the chorizo burrito. Absolutely get a little in every bite. The staff are pretty nice, enjoy the music/radio they play indoor & out, and food is prepared quickly. Absolutely love it and I'd come back anytime when I'm feeling for some Mexican. Was in the area and was craving their chorizo burrito, which I haven't had in some time.\n\nThey seem to be under new ownership, and regardless, they don't make it like they used to. As I said in my previous review, the chorizo was great and was cooked to order. Much to my dismay, they took the chorizo from a steam tray and put it right in the burrito. The meat looked strictly steamed and not grilled or fried in any way. I also asked for the spice to be medium as it used to be quite hot.\n\nFrom the first bite, I knew I was in trouble. Way too much sour cream and sauce. That, along with the cheese made it way too creamy/dairy. The chorizo was barely warm and not an appealing texture being only steamed. They still seem to have the same supplier for the chorizo, so there was still a good taste - but disappointing. In regards to heat, I could barely believe if it was even mild. The overall burrito was: creamy, lukewarm and lacking taste.\n\nSometimes only a couple steps can throw the whole thing off. If the chorizo was still cooked fresh and I had less sour cream and more salsa, it could've still been good. But they've moved a couple steps in the wrong direction and I'm going the other way. This up scale knock off of Burrito Boyz menu is just horrible. Several issues I can mention of this location, one they don't have a process down for how long to keep the Burrito's on the grill and the meats are all pre cooked and dry for the most part. It just spells slowness and dis satisfied customers (my burrito was cold in the centre). They could definitely use a Lean Six Sigma consultant to improve customer satisfaction. I think one of the most upsetting things was the service, the Cashier seemed to be the only one who knew what was going on. As he passed the order on to the girl making the burritos, there was a lack of transparency and no sense that they gave a s**t about the customer. Then there was the manager just gabbing away to customers who seemingly hadn't purchased anything. Maybe this was a one off, but is enough for me not to want to give them my business for a while. \n\nThe only innovative thing they had was a nacho style burrito, which has nacho cheese and tortilla chips crushed up in the burrito. Beyond that they are at most a dollar off from Burrito boyz prices but do have a sit down area and a small patio area.\n\nI cannot recommend this place. I hope they get their s**t together. Lets make one thing clear here... its not as good as Burrito Boyz but its not bad either..lol\n\nFirstly, the place is a little small. The seating area is like a small cabin, a little cramped up; but there is sitting if you want to sit and enjoy the burrito there. The seats aren't that bad to sit on.\n\nThe food was tasty and there was verity to choose from. The person made the Burrito with love by stuffing it properly and now cheating us on the vegetables, etc. Make sure you identity the spicy level properly as it does tend to get hot up the scale. The Burrito did hold up and did not break which is very good. \n\nWell if you are in the area Decent Mexican food is right here or else go to Deep fried Popeyes Louisiana Juicy Chicken just across the it.

Restaurent name is: The Thirsty Goat
review: The pulled pork and chicken are so good. So many good beers on tap as well. Great patio to sit on when it's nice out. Tons of tvs to watch your favorite team. One of my go to's Great view and atmosphere. They have outdoor seating available that looks very inviting for those summer days we'll be seeing soon. Very friendly staff and commendable service. Their menu has a wide range of options, including smokehouse meats, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. I had the bacon and egg burger- all I can say is yum! Probably one of the most well seasoned burgers I've ever eaten. My husband had the brisket which was also delicious and they have several of their own sauces which are very good. Bad service. Bad food. Bad prices. \nWe went with a group of six. Service was slow. Nacho appetizer was good put didn't have very many chips. Sampler platter was an expensive pile of fat. Brisket was inedible due to all the fat you had to cut off, ribs were small and not very exciting. Pulled pork was greasy and fatty too. Sides came in small plastic cups and were lukewarm at best. Pub chips were cold and stale. Corn bread was cold and dry. Beers took forever to get - not worth $5 each. Such simple things they had to get right but couldn't. Disappointing to spend $60 for two of us and walk away hungry and disappointed. Thirsty goat? More like piss in a moat... \n\nThe draft lines haven't been cleaned since establishment in 1932. \n\nThe service.... wait.... what service....?\n\nFood. Spoiled rotten. Something out of my granddaddy's shorts.\n\nI tried to use the restroom, and walked right back out. Peed my pants in the car.. didn't feel like catching the clap that day.\n\nYour choice. This place has delicious food and 32 beers on tap! End of story. I love the outdoor patio and the atmosphere. This is officially my new spot.

Restaurent name is: Galo Do Sardinha Churrasqeira
review: I went there with friends and the food is ok nothing special the service is fair enough. Best Churrasco chicken in the city! It is full of flavour and not dry like some of the other shops. This has become part of my weekly dinner rotation. Great little chicken spot. Ordered the half chicken with 2 sides for $10. Chicken was fall of the bone and the quality of the meat was excellent. Potatoes were perfectly cooked and delicious. Steamed veggies were previously frozen which I didn't find particularly appetizing. If I were them, I'd switch to fresh steamed veggies. \n\nAll in all good bang for buck! Cheap chicken dinners are the way to my stomach. Came here on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. The chicken was tender and moist. There are a lot of sides to choose from. Ended up with potato balls and a salad. I love the potatoes. Well seasoned and cooked through. We also tried the calamari which they personally make. It was so good! They don't make this all the time however so we got lucky. Calamari was lightly dusted, not a lot of breading so you can really taste it. They also make they're own sauces. Some tables available for dining in but it's a bit cramped. More of a take out spot. The owners are very friendly and we ended up having a nice conversation. Would definitely visit again. Two dinners, drinks and an app cost about $30. Amazing. I don't find much difference between most of the chicken places in town (which I'm sure is deeply offensive to all the devotees), but we did really enjoy Paul Sardinha's chicken. Yummy salty skin, juicy chicken, delicious hot sauce and above average green salad. Rice was also delicious - potatoes were standard. Extra points for having custard tarts from Dolce Minho. \n\nFast, friendly service. Bright and clean. Parking sucks but it's oakwood. Definitely going back.

Restaurent name is: Miss Italia
review: I went here twice. Once about 5 months ago and the other time a week ago. Both times were dine ins.\n\nThe wait staff is cordial and the decor is decent for a pizzeria. They have a very nice terrace with a fountain and a decent sized parking lot. Both times, we came pretty late in the evening and there wasn't much of a crowd. Only 1-2 other tables. \n\nWe ordered a medium pepperoni/bacon pizza (that's what my date enjoys) and it was delicious. I do admit that when I got to my last slice, the crust started to sag and the oil was to be desired but it was still very yummy. Once it arrives, it's crust is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. They actually use bacon slices and not bacon bits which I applaud them for. That must be part of the reason why it is so oily after a while.. And so yummy.\n\nI'd go back here if I was in the area. Hopefully earlier in the day so I can enjoy their terrace. The pizza is quite good, very tasty. Been twice recently, and will defiantly be back, and try something else. \nNice big place, two floors with a terrace. Good service, and reasonably priced. A nice place to eat for a family lunch, or dinner.\n\nThe good: Food is good. It is a nice pizza/pasta place (and they have other stuff, but I never tried it). Place is usually busy but you have places to sit, normally. Bathrooms are clean.\n\nThe bad: Waitresses can be a little too friendly and too personal sometimes. Discussing plans of the restaurant with employees in the restaurant area, in front of costumers, not a good thing. Bathrooms are one room with door. So if it is busy, you will have to wait outside. Old people will look at you while they come in, or sitting down, like you are invading "their" space.\n\nI cannot give it four stars. I just cannot. But it is a very strong three as the food is good there. I decided to bring my 6 year old daughter out for supper, somewhere new (for us). Luckily Miss Italia is just around the corner and I had always wanted to visit their renovated location.\n\nWe arrived around 5:30 to a half empty restaurant, so I was anticipating a fairly quick meal and I couldn't of been more wrong. \n\nThe waitress made us wait almost 10 mins. to seat us even thought there was plenty of spots available. She took our drink orders, which we got 40 mins. later. My daughter ordered a pepperoni pizza and I ordered the Gnocchi Carbonarra. We waited 1 and a half hours to be served our food as we watched tables of 3 and 4 customers enter after us, eat and leave. Have you ever watched a hungry, restless 6 y.o?\n\nWhen the food finally arrived, my daughters pizza was burnt and my gnocchi was freezing cold. Not to mention the carbonarra sauce tasted and had the consistency of milk.\n\nNever going back! A large pizza with Sausage (more like pepperoni), mushroom and green peppers for 30$???? Are you kidding me?

Restaurent name is: Ban Chan
review: I tried their food at the Asian Festival in Scottsdale this past weekend. For $10 I got spicy pork, rice, bean sprouts, and kim chi. Pretty good value considering the price and quality of the other festival food that was offered. I really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the pork. I don't think I've ever visited the restaurant, but now I would like to. Especially now that I see that their menu offers a spicy tofu soup, I love that stuff! Good authentic Korean food place. The portions are a bit small for dinner considering their "dinner" price. The waiter was super animated and was pretty attentive to our needs. They did run out of lettuce which was a disappointment. The decor and ambiance of the place could be improved some. We were there last week and we order a set for three of us. And it is too much compared to the price! Totally WORTH IT! The foods were amazing. Hot pot and pancakes and fried meats. We love it! And the service was fantastic. It feels like the restaurant running by family. The owner also the people who serve us which is kind of weird but he is nice .Definitely want to go again. We had a very good meal at Ban Chan. The fried dumplings we had for appetizer were near perfect. My soup, I got the dumplings and rice cake (#20 on the menu), was very good as well. There were plenty of dumplings and rice cake slices to suit the hungriest guest. The broth was mild and flavorful, but I would have added some black pepper to it if it'd been on the table. The traditional sides were awesome, my favorite is the turnip, little cubes of delicious, tingly awesomeness. My husband thinks they taste like gasoline, but I love them. There were also lots of more adventurous choices on the menu I'd like to try, but I like to start safe in a new place. We will definitely be back for more. I really like their ban chan as u can tell from their name. The foods were fresh and tasty!

Restaurent name is: Sicily's Pizza
review: Decided to give this place another chance after my previous review. Ordered BBQ wings and cheese sticks. It did get here in a good amount of time unlike my last experience with this place. But the wings were hard and had no chicken on them what so ever, they were way over fried. I guess you should never order anything but pizza from a pizza place. The cheese sticks were cold. These guys are AMAZING. I'm based in New Zealand and ordered a Pizza and sides for a friend who was having a not so great day at work. They were nothing short of fantastic. I received prompt responses via facebook and called to confirm my order which took no longer than 2 minutes. \n\nMy bestie said the food was delicious! Thank you so much to your team for delivery good food and beyond amazing customer service :D 0 star! Worst service even with their poor reviews my household kept using them because they were conveniently close to us. But our last order took over two hours and we called 4 times to check on the status and finally they said that their driver was lost. Again as I said they are super close to us and we called 4 times and the management or the driver didn't think to call the store or the customer to let us know. I got the chicken alfredo!! It's very good and flavorful! And I come with garlic bread and salad! I ordered a simple half black olives and half green peppers large pizza and fries with extra ranch. An hour and a half later I got a cold small pizza with a combination of both toppings. With a handful of bland wet fries still uncooked and 1 ranch.. unbelievable! Don't go here! Food was not good at all, don't even think it deserves one star!
