restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1700 | If you're looking for a cheap place to stay on the strip, this is it. If you're looking for a great place to stay on a romantic getaway to Vegas, look elsewhere.Since the Imperial Palace is being renovated, the taxi/shuttle stop is in the rear of the hotel. Depending on which tower you are staying at, it's a bit of a haul to your room when you check-in. To top it off, there are far too many people for the number of elevators... and the elevators are very slow. When we were checking out, half of the elevators weren't working. My girlfriend and I stayed on the 10th floor and opted for the stairs a few times (going up or going down).I used the express checkout, which you MUST take advantage of if you stay here. However, it took a while for them to charge me for my room. Being a good citizen, I submitted a form online to request my bill. I'm assuming they are just a bit slow to process credit card charges, but it's possible I could have gotten away with a free stay.The room itself was as-expected. It was old, smelly/smoky (despite being a non-smoking room), and had a big \"Luv Tub\". Our room overlooked the pool, which has a pool party from about 11am-5pm everyday. We habituated to the smell of the room on the 2nd day.Overall, the Palace is a good option if you are low on cash and want to stay on the strip. Personally, I will pay a little more for a different resort next time I visit Vegas. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1701 | Floyd's is interesting. I came here once when I was doing a selling gig of mine during the summer and I came back to try their food. So I came in for lunch for a take out as my brother and as well as a few friends came down from Raleigh wanted to try it out. I ordered the stew beef as well as doubled the side of the mac n cheese.Let's just say, if you're going to work out or do anything active in the few to several hours dont. Because I was burping that stuff up and it just didn't feel good. But, that's southern food for you. I felt that the mac-n-cheese was a little watery and wasn't cheesy enough. The stew beef was okay, I guess. The problem with that was it was also too watery and it had no flavor. I was thinking that it would give me a punch because, well it's in a stew. I think I won't come back here for a while, especially since the aftermath of the meal was horrible. I think when you eat something, the process of eating it and the aftermath is wrapped into one! If you do come here, I suggest you to order the chicken as I heard it wasn't bad. From my experience though, stay away from the stew beef. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1702 | Ate in the bar area.The music was too LOUD - I couldn't hear the person across from me.Had the lobster egg roll - it was ok. Nice and crunchy but the flavor was meh...Had the meat that you cook on the hot rock..... Did it once, won't do it again. Had the spicy tuna roll - the rice was too wetHad the hamachi negi roll - rice was too wetWill only come here for the drinks next time. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1703 | This place it average at best. Our meal was a mixed bag of good and bad. On the good side, took our reservations and when we showed up on time we were promptly seated. Also, they had a very nice Carpaccio appetizer. That was well done. That was it... no more good.On the bad side, all of the dinners were rather bland and tasteless. My wife's lamb chops were nothing to write home about. Several of us had pasta. My chicken, bacon and cheese pasta had cheese and maybe a speck or two of bacon. The chicken must have out run the chef that day. It was nowhere to be seen. The server forgot my friend's order, although she did write them all down. So he had to wait while they rushed his order through which left him to snack on bread as he waited. Oh wait, the bread was emptied in the first 5 minutes we were there, and no refills on bread or water. (Wow, I felt like I was in jail!) When his meal finally came, it was more than Al Dente... it was almost stiff! The next time we saw any server, it was to present us with the bill. Oh well. Was IL Fornaio bad? Not really. Was it disappointing? You bet it was. Was it worth the money? No way. Will I be back? Nope, I will try many new places before I come back here. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1704 | I called Wave Cleaners based on the reviews on Yelp and also because they are located right near our house.When I called to set up the appointment I was impressed, the gentleman on the phone was very helpful. We set up an appointment for a deep cleaning for the following week. I had family coming in from out of town for our wedding and I didn't want to add deep cleaning to my to-do list the week before the wedding. I asked if we could get the widows washed too. He said they would do that no problem.The day of the appointment the cleaners arrived on time. I talked to them about what I wanted them to focus on and make sure to take care of then I left to run some errands. I had to put the dogs in the back yard, so told them not to worry about the outside of the back windows.I came back 3 hours later as they were packing up to leave. I did a quick sweep through the house and I was pretty speechless. I did not say anything at the time and I should have. The floors looked as if there had been a quick sweep/mop over them, but nothing more than I could have done in 10 minutes. This was one of the areas I asked them to give extra attention. The shelves were dusted, none of the picture frames were. There was a spot on the mirror in the dining room that I had been meaning to wipe, it was still there after they left. The cabinets were wiped down but you could see dust spots that they missed as they haphazardly wiped. The stainless steel was wiped, but had to be redone because it had greasy residue left from the product they used to clean it.None of the windows were done, even though this was one of the main requests I had when I initially contacted them.The cleaning that was done on my house was nothing special. It was what I do myself every few days.After they left I re-mopped all the floors, I re-cleaned the stainless steel, I re-dusted. I washed the windows and wiped the mirrors and pictures down.Had I known I was going to have to add re-cleaning the house to my to-do list 4 days before our wedding I would have saved my money and not hired Wave Cleaners. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1705 | Yahhhhh I was here a couple of years ago and was appalled by the hotel.Well, to start off with, I was using the hotel to just store my bags for the day until I had to catch my red eye flight and didnt want to spend a good chunk of my money on The Hotel at Mandalay bay just for 6 more hours.So I just decided to rent out a room at Excalibur.My gawd.. it was nutz. The check in line was like the lotto line. The rooms were okay size but everything in it was just basic. The beds were sinking in. There was a humid smell in the room which wouldnt go away and I think the AC made it worse. But in terms of cleanliness, it was okay. I didnt see anything that was gross or dirty. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1706 | I grew up going to this mall when they actually had stores. Now its more like a swapmeet in there, all these stores with cheap looking clothing. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1707 | If it's not divey enough to be a real dive then everything that WOULD BE charming about a dive just becomes nasty or stupid or annoying. Combine that with all the worst traits of a 'nite-club' style bar and we find Metro Sportz Bar.A place that has an appearance as decently presentable as this is simply not allowed to pull the crap of \"CASH ONLY\" and then point you to their privately owned and highly fee'd ATM against the wall. And trying to be that cheap-ass while selling mAcrobrews at mAcro prices!Seemingly serious bouncer presence checking ID's and such, and yet when a tweaker walks in wearing pajamas and carrying a chihuahua, security dude's too lazy to get up from his stool and plate of fruit to do anything about it, but he did make sure to verbally complain about it to anyone in earshot, from the time puppyTweaker showed up until about 5 minutes after he was long gone. I think I'll end up back in here eventually, and then I'll know if another server crew might bring more of the friendly neighborhood divey feel this place wishes it had.In the meantime I've got plenty of other places to play free chip-tourney poker. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1708 | Thinking of going to buffet at Caesars Palace? Make sure you check in at least 4 hours ahead. I checked in around 7pm and waiting time was 270 minutes. (See my photo). I eventually checked in early with vip access pass. Regular buffet price is approximately $60 per person. My suggestion? Its not worth it. Food was good as any other restaurant with half the price. I give C- for service. Once was good enough. I have no plans for next visit. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1709 | Wish I could give this one star. I wasn't expecting much other than a sandwich/sub...unfortunately it was the most boring, limp and flavorless sub I think I've ever had. I'll definitely avoid Blimpies going forward in my travels. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1710 | Today was my last visit. The customer service is consistently poor and in a day and age where the average consumer has a multitude of meal options in front of them, what really sets places apart is how they interact with patrons. When a manager/owner is rude, abrupt and downright disrespectful to customers, what is to be assumed except that they don't value their business. I do wish them luck as a mom & pop shop. I think we need more family run eateries in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area...but Rinaldi's? It'll be an uphill battle if they choose to continue to treat their clientele in this fashion. It's too bad. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1711 | We usually go to this place as we work in the area. We went there on a Friday, we stood in the long queue, got our dinner, as soon as we sat to eat, saw that a lady was just going to each table handing them over bags and boxes to pack their dinner and whispering to them that there is an emergecny or something... the thing to be noticed here is that nobody came to our seat to inform us of anything (seeing that we had a child with us). We do not know if there is a shooting outside, or a fire or something elseWe just got a hint and pick up our son and bag and got out leaving our dinner, well nobody gave us the boxes or bags, to pack our dinner.we got out, so we realized there was a fire...a lady took our number and said she will take care of everything. We then went to another chipotle, as my son just wanted his beans and rice (kids are particular like that, he knew he was going to eat his beans and rice and he just wanted that). Manager called us told us please come in anytime and and say at the counter that you were part of fire incident and your meal will be on us. I said I'm sorry but i'm not comfortable doing that (asking for a free meal at the counter). I told her I spend this much if you could send me a card that is well and good. she took our address and said she will definitely mail it to us.we never got anything in the mail. It does not mean i stop eating at Chipotle, we love it. But till the time our issue is resolved we will not go to This Chipotle, even if it is inconvenient to us. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1712 | To be fair, the first time that I went to The Mission a couple of months ago, it was a 3-star experience. The food was well prepared and nicely presented. It could have been 4-stars, but the tacos were sadly small for the price.Last week's experience was a real let down. I took my family for a Latin dining experience and was sadly disappointed. Being an arepa lover, I was excited to partake in the experience with my loved ones. When we arrived, we were told that arepas were no longer part of the menu, although they were still on the menu :-( They are now serving the sandwiches that were served on arepas, on the torta bread. The server was apologetic, but frankly, after driving 40 miles to get this specific menu item and checking the on-line menu before making the trip, I was not happy.The pabellon filling was very good, but again, a let down without the arepa. To add insult to injury, when the sandwiches were served, they did not bring Mission fries on the plate, because according to the bus boy, the menu changed when the sandwich was no longer served on the arepa, and it no longer was served with the fries. The server quickly righted this issue and offered us fries on the house.There are some high points to the experience: the setting is very pretty and the service is attentive. The chorizo and papas appetizer is delicious and something worth ordering when you go. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1713 | It was worth it for the groupon, I guess, but I won't be going back. The place is small, the service was horrific, and the food was assembly lined together and wasn't even piping hot even tho it took forever to come out, the ingredients were minimal even tho they charged $1 for each add on, and the flavor wasn't anything impressive! The place up on Warm Springs is a 5 star joint compared to this place. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1714 | Where to begin?I went to Muramoto for my birthday dinner, and called a day in advance to reserve a table for a large group of people. Two people joined our group at the last second, but I didn't think it would be a major problem to add a chair on either end of the table. I approached our server and apologized for the inconvenience, but asked if we could get two more chairs.I was met with a brisk, \"We don't really have any more chairs.\" It should be noted that without moving my head, I could see at least three vacant chairs and one or two lining the wall. Not everyone had arrived yet, however, so I didn't raise the issue again until they did. The server begrudgingly made another place setting before barking, \"Just sit down here, because if you move and the order gets screwed up, it's going to take me, like, fifteen minutes to fix.\"This is also around the time that two of my guests mentioned that something was dripping on them. Indeed, the ceiling was dripping water. When they mentioned it to the server, he said, \"Oh, yeah. The air conditioning's over you and it leaks a bit. I was going to recommend you leave that chair vacant, but since you're already short on seats now...\"I was taken aback, partially because of his rude tone, and partially because I couldn't understand how someone would be so preternaturally stupid as to 1) put a chair under a leaking air conditioner and 2) expect that all seats in the reservation wouldn't be filled.One of my guests did not receive her soda for forty minutes, and another guest did not receive one of her plates of sushi until just before we were about ready to leave.The two stars above are for the chef, to whom I give my compliments. Everyone was thrilled with their appetizers and the sushi itself was very well-prepared. Compliments to the bar, as well. I had a delicious drink called, \"Keep Calm and Carry On.\" I would suggest the servers at this establishment take the drink's name as a piece of advice. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1715 | I've been here twice and both times I've been dissappointed. $22pp is extremely high for the small breakfast selection. I think $15 is the most they should charge for the quality. I was thinking about the 24hr deal, but they jacked that up to $79 on the weekend. No thanks! My entire family left very unsatisfied. On a positive note, the crepe with the berry mix was very good. Check out Studio B at the M. Almost half the price and twice the quality. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1716 | Mediocre in every way. Service and food. Overreliance on salt in the remoulade was a disappointment from this name. The whole place looked tired and past prime. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1717 | HORRIBLE SERVICE. We honestly had to walk out on our order because the kitchen time was 35 minutes and up once you placed your food order. It took our server 15 minutes to even approach us for drinks upon arrival. She never checked back for refills while we tried to wait for our food. None of the other customers in the restaurant were pleased with the service. Many people including us requested to speak to a manager. Upon speaking to him he simply apologized and made an excuse for the kitchen being backed up. The manager did not assist the servers nor did he seem to know how to handle managing a restaurant. The wait staff seemed very frazzled and overwhelmed for such a small restaurant. Essentially the staff seemed untrained and unable to handle their small section of tables. We told them we would like to cancel our order and left to go to another breakfast restaurant. We never had a chance to try the food so I cannot comment on the quality. However, the menu was very limited if you do not like waffles. It also was over priced with most breakfast entrees costing $9-$11 and not having large portions from what we could observe from the few tables who were fortunate enough to have received their food after the very long wait. Overall, we will never go back to this establishment and we would not recommend it to any friends or family in the future. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1718 | First Food Bar was the worst dining experience I've had during my recent trip to Vegas. We came for lunch with our group of 6 and we all ordered different dishes. My wife had the fish and chips and I had the turkey club with a over medium egg.The fish and chips were not good. I usually like any thing fried but when my wife asked me to taste her meal I thought it cant be that bad. It was. The fish was very dry and flaky and the batter taste funny. The \"chips\" that came with the meal was good though because it had horseradish sprinkled over it. My sandwich was decent but was not the best I've ever had. So why the 2 star review? Service was sub par. Our waitress did the bare minimum and was not attentive to our needs. We had to ask for refills and she didn't put much effort into our table. The others in the group also mentioned that their food was just OK and they would probably skip it the next time they're in Vegas. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1719 | My husband and I made dinner reservations for Gordon Ramsay's Pub with high expectations. My God, after watching KN & HK, you'd expect nothing but the best. Unfortunately, we were sadly disappointed. We were there at 6:00 on a Monday night for dinner. The place was nearly empty. So whom do they sit next to us, when there are dozens of open seats everywhere? A table of 4 loud drunks. The server came up to us immediately, but that was the high point of the evening.We ordered fish & chips and prime rib, both of which also came to us immediately. My fish was cold, my fries were cold and greasy, my husband's prime rib was nothing special. His vegetables were cold and mushy; his mashed potatoes cold and tasteless. When we questioned the server, he said that the fish & chips were made \"only\" 5-10 minutes before our order. If he admits to 5-10 minutes, I bet on at least 30. I thought that Gordon's restaurants always made dinners to order -- at least something as traditional and simple as fish & chips. How can you screw that up?Besides that, the place just doesn't feel and look clean. The silverware is put right on the table, which in our case was covered with sprinkled salt, a sure sign that the table had not been cleaned between diners. The uniforms of the servers were wrinkled and mismatched. I'm not sure what look Gordon was seeking, but the servers clearly do not have the same \"vision\".When we complained to the manager, he was dismissive and condescending, making sure to inform us that \"Gordon had just been there last week and everything was great\". Well maybe great when the boss is around, but with zero or no quality standards when he is not.Bottom Line: Save your money for fish fries at your local Catholic church during Lent. Gordon's made enough money from hard-working \"no counts\" like us. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1720 | Marquee is a good nightclub in Vegas. Great venue. It's new and trendy. But it's over crowded. Dance floor is small. I like how you can go outside and inside. The main room plays too much house music. Had a friend who was on the guestlist and still paid 80 dollars to get in. Its a great experience if you have a table and If you want a table you have to book months in advance. It's good to experience this type of environment once in awhile but it's not a place I would go to regularly. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1721 | I really wanted to like Growlers. i'm a huge beer nerd and they have nerdy beer, so you'd think it would be awesome, but no. The service was absolutely horrible. The girl didn't know anything about beer (our friend wanted something similar to a belgian and she couldn't even come up with any sort of answer) and every beer tasted skunky, something must be up with their lines. There was one other table of folks and a few people at the bar and our glasses were empty for at least a half hour. We ordered pretzels and they were akin to those frozen grocery store pretzels, not a fan. We left as soon as the beer tasting was over and headed to Jack Beagles. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1722 | Great customer service at lunch. Order the lunch special and 6 other customers get served before me. Wait 45 minutes then get up to leave. Am asked \"Do I want that to go?\" Can anyone say @DirtyDrummer? | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1723 | I am rating them on the following. Giant Pretzel $14 (it was not worth $14 maybe $7 or $8), beer's $8 ok, lemonade $3 and the zinger is you can't get a glass of water with your beer or mixed coctail, you have to pay $3.49 for a bottle of water (that is just lame especially when you are buying a drink). | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1724 | The hotel isn't bad considering it's catering to the more mature audience. The only thing that somewhat upsets me is that the price of the rooms are misleading. You better read the fine print when reserving a room here because they might not inform you about the $14.95 per night surcharge. Me and my friends wanted to find a fairly inexpensive hotel and when we booked online on expedia, the rooms were only $42/night. But when we got there, we were informed of the ridiculous surcharge. I can understand if it was something like $5.00 or something but $14.95?? If it was still summer time when we can at least use their ugly pool, i can also at least understand that. I mean, even the GOLD COAST which is much more decent than Palace Station has a surcharge of only $3.00! Okay, live and learn i guess. Well, at least whoever is reading this could use the heads up, right? :) | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1725 | So I keep reading reviews where people say \"I want to like whatever place, but I just can't.\" This is how I feel about Harlow's.The inside is cool... I like the retro diner feel. And it's right around the corner from me, so it would be a great convenient spot. And the prices are decent, except for the fact that the food is just not good. (In the end I feel like I just wasted $30 on a crappy meal.) I've given the place two tries, and I just don't get how the rating is so high and why it's always busy.The first time I had the eggs benedict. Not great, but not terrible. I would never go back for more of that though. I had read that the eggs Maximilian are the gem on the menu, so when I gave the place another go, I tried it. Also not good. My first bite was cold. Not room temperature cold, but like refrigerator cold. The flavor is somehow bold and bland at the same time. I ate about 1/4 of the plate and couldn't do it anymore. I left the place unsatisfied and kinda hungry.My boyfriend likes pretty much everything and is NOT a picky eater, but he didn't like his chorizo breakfast burrito. I don't know how you can mess up a breakfast burrito, in AZ nonetheless, to the point that the guy won't eat it, but... well, it happened.The OJ tastes like the stuff you get out of a machine at a hotel breakfast. You know you've made a mistake when you know you would have eaten better tasting food at Denny's. :(I can't decide between one star or two. I will never go back there because the food is so bad. But the service is fine. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1726 | The staff was RUDE! Going to the doctors is NO fun to begin with and then dealing with the front desk that don't show any customer service makes it that much harder. I left feeling as though I had been ripped off and threw 50 bucks out the window. I will never go back to that practice. I left the practice in tears on how I was treated. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1727 | I used to go here often when I went to MCC. I admit that the food was pretty good, but the owner ruined the entire experience for me. At the time, I was learning Japanese and wanted to try it out in an actual setting. He yelled at me the first time I tried and told me to speak English.Another instance, and the real reason I don't go back there, is when a friend of mine went to eat there. After he finished, he said \"Gochisousamadeshita\" (a polite saying thanking the preparer of the food for the meal) and the owner muttered under his breath \"Henna Gaijin\" (strange foreigner).I can understand not having the patience to speak Japanese with me, but really.....insulting someone who just thanked you for the food? That's enough for me to never return. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1728 | there should be a negative rating on here. one star is way to high.i am sick and tired of how the cable box is never working their solution? KEEP RESETTING THE BOX... YES IT IS MY JOB TO MAKE SURE I GET MY SERIVCE ON A DAILY BASIS. IT'S NOT THEIRS TO MAKE SURE IT WORK. Plus they have poor customer service but I don't blame the people that answer the phones but the people who st the rules to nickel and dime it's customers. charter is horrible and since i coudn't get thru to complain on the phone here is my truth. Charter is the worst. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1729 | I've gone to the Diamond an many occasions, and it has always been spotty. One visit terrible, one visit pretty good, but never great. After my visit this past weekend, I guess I'm calling it quits. The bottom line is that it's not worth going to a place when the odds are the service and food will sorely disappoint. We had two people visiting from out of town, and forgot Dish was closed, so we figured \"hey, the Diamond wasn't too bad last time, let's go there.\" Luckily, there was no wait, the four of us sat down, asked what the specials were and it turned out they were out of the specials. Two of us then ordered the black bean burger. They were out of that too. We got some other stuff, and a starter of fried pickles, which were okay. My friend asked the waiter if the tomatoes were fresh, because she was thinking about a BLT. The waiter seemed offended and gave a dismissive, \"yes.\" Then we waited and waited for the food. It took way too long to come out.We finally got our dishes. I was okay with mine, but everyone else was very disappointed. It was as if Diamond shops for the absolute bottom-rung ingredients. If you put a salad on a menu, it should be at least somewhat appetizing. The small block burger was a sad, ugly thing. The tomatoes were hard and without much flavor. One person at our table referred to the general quality of the food as \"disgusting.\" I was embarrassed to have brought friends there.The take-away lesson here is that it's great to be a local institution. It's great to have cool decor and a loyal clientele. But if you're a restaurant, it's still all about the food for most of your patrons. You need to have quality food. And don't think you can get away with serving mediocre grub just because you call yourself a diner. Especially when you're charging $9 or more for some plates. A lot of real diners serve superior food at half the price.So the Diamond is still a great place to get a drink, but they've got to overhaul nearly everything when it comes to their food. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1730 | Not much has changed at Patties, I'm sorry to report. What has is that they upgraded the TVs! The place is still filthy and reminds one of a bad frat house or a Gila Bend bar, as some have mentioned. It's the dive of dive bars that I have been in through out my USA and Canadian travels. Oh it's no longer cheap to to drink there and they do now have glassware not just plastic cups for your drinks, so that has changed. The barkeeper, is an old guy who has been there past his prime. There are photos of him among photos of the crowds on a board where he looks 15 years younger. By now he has no personality and patience for the drinking crowd and this was at the start of Happy Hour on a Tuesday! The way he throws together a mixed drink or offers up the beer/wine list you can tell he just doesn't care anymore. It's pretty awful and sad at the same time. One day a week ( I forget which) according to the flier on the wall they offer up a patty (aka burger) night. No other food is served here and how they get the OK to serve on that night from the health board is a mystery. Maybe the pull out a grill into the parking lot, is my best guess. The jukebox is a newer version of the equipment, but I didn't stick around to hear it. A regular, some creepy skinny dude said he was going to play it, but warned me no one wold like what he played. I took him at his word. The place has a few hundred dollars of mostly US $1 bills stuck on the walls and ceiling in the area close to the bar. They have words, names and comments boldly inked on them. The barkeeper was busy stapling a few recent ones to the wall. He commented to another customer when asked, that he doesn't read them, ever! because only the drunk write and leave them. My what an attitude for one in the drinking& hospitality business! Among those mostly dirty and yellowing from nicotine bills you will see a sign near the old gold register handwritten selling \"All Cigarettes are $10\"! Holy Moley and I don't smoke! But apparently many of the patrons do, because the building is split down the center leaving the place open to the sky and elements, which apparently allows them to forgo the nonsmoking ordinances now in effect for establishments. So many freely light up and smoke in the center of the floor/building. Out of sheer curiosity, on my why out I opened the the women's room door. Eeewwe, the place recked like a bad outhouse, though it had a nice white new pedestal sink and commode, but their was no way I could stomach the room to even primp in the mirror!I did manage to take a picture at the bar to give you a glimpse of the place. Hopefully it will help you check the stop off your list. Oh and one other thing, I wish bar owners would not publish their political views with bumper stickers in ther establishment - put it on your car or not post it. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1731 | We waited for about an hour for brunch which is a tad too long. The server seemed very rushed and very short with us when she greeted us. When we asked for water she only brought one glass and I had to wave her down to get a second. The food was not very good. It seemed fake, like it had a bunch of fillers. I would best describe it as the IKEA of breakfast food. It was also very bland. The worst part was that both of plates consisted of about 80% hashbrowns. I'm not sure why people love this place so much. We will not be back. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1732 | This place is dark. Loud music, loud obnoxious people comes here....food was terrible. We got the calamari and it was made not like the usual crispy nice dip...it was soggy and spicy. The two steak was order was ok...the more you took a bite of it...the more you didn't want to eat it. My boyfriend and I didn't even eat a 1/3 of the steak and was done with it. It was really salty. All of their special sauce was very plain and weird. Our bill was over $100 and it was terrible. Never come here to eat. I heard vodka cocktails are good here...I'm allergic to vodka...so doesn't benefit me here. Never coming back....waste of time and money. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1733 | Yelp has failed me on this one....Though the place was clean, it was totally empty, and the waitstaff seemed really out of it. I ordered the hummus based on reviews and was disappointed - it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't worth ordering. The worst part was the cold, almost undercooked bread that came with it. It was very chewy and kind of gray. Next came the salad, which was fresh, granted, but the dressing was a little bland. I also ordered the kofta platter, which came with rice. The addition of peas and carrots to the rice was nice. The kofta was pretty good, but over salted. A valiant effort, but I would not recommend. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1734 | Overpriced, loud, and forgettable. I was here on business and settled on this place because it was close to where I was staying. Their are PLENTY of options in Charlotte and I would suggest wandering off the beaten path and avoid the bright lights that sucked us in. When you charge 30 dollars for a \"pitcher\" of sangria, atleast have pitchers that dont make the waiter pour half of it onto the floor. Just no | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1735 | I really, really want to like Showmars because it's local, but it's just kind of icky in the environment. It was probably a unique spot before they spread all over the area, but now that Charlotte is super-saturated, it's just not that interesting. The french fries are ok, I guess. The veggie pita is no good...clearly designed by someone who has never eaten food without meat on it. Maybe I was disappointed because I had high expectations, and maybe it's an alright place for the meat-eaters...but it's just not good for me. I haven't had a good experience, and I've been to a few locations. I won't be going back. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1736 | Cox cable and Internet services may not be the best choice when you have options. The company is large and they like to use that size to bully more than for improvement of service and services. I have been a loyal customer for many, many years and year after year my bills change without cause, they like to play up sell games, and even force you to take services you do not need, all in the name of savings. Don't be fooled as the savings are always temporary and in the end you always pay.This company could be great, increase customer count and be the leader, but they choose to prey on unsuspecting customers, be overbearing in forcing staff to oversell and leave customers disheartened, and worse play the pricing games.The people are good, the process is broken and inconsistent and the product is in demand. A simple fix could turn this company's rating the right direction, but only time will tell as technologies change who the winners and losers will ultimately be. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1737 | I went to Cute Nails over the weekend. It was my third nail salon that I have frequented in the Charlotte area. This place paled in comparison to the other two. It was a decent environment inside. The pedicure I got was only $25 which is a good price. As someone else mentioned, the water was very hot. The chairs are old and not very effective at massaging. My chair cut off after about five minutes and would not go back on. I am also used to a foot massage/leg massage as part of my typical pedicure experience. She did not do this, but she did punch my feet a few times each. That was a little out of what I am used to. She did scrape off my dead skin, but she did it very lightly and left more skin on than I prefer. I am missing some nail polish on the corners of my nails. They are also cut kind of crooked. My eyebrow waxing experience wasn't so great either. She did not shut the door and had kind of unpleasant bedside manner. My left eyebrow had a little hole from where she plucked too many hairs out. I don't imagine being back. People who worked there were nice though. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1738 | I have been a stylist for quite a few years now and have a few friends who rent from this location and a couple others. The places are pretty and decorated nice, but the drama prohibited me from leasing....the owner is sleazy and dates his tenants. He has one of them pregnant too. My husband said NO WAY. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1739 | Was pretty disappointed in the service. Paid for a deep clean and got a pretty lame effort. Nothing was moved and just dusted around. They didn't' even touch the ceiling fans, floors weren't totally mopped, and basically needed to clean everything when they left. I called and let them know I wasn't impressed and they sent the girl back out to clean again and was once again a pretty lame effort. While Juan is very nice the actual cleaning is average at best. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1740 | Seriously sketchy. Last time I was here cops had three people handcuffed lying in their stomachs. There are never any open registers. The produce is disgusting. Half of the parking lot lights are out, and if the people outside are anything like the people inside, I'd rather not be in the dark with them. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1741 | got \"vip\" passes with dinner at rao's so we decided to check PURE out for a drink. by far the best part was the upstairs terrace which had an awesome view of the strip.unfortunately the terrace also contained creepy guys, horrible dancing, and the most awesome display of drunken prowling cougars EVER.one star for the terrace, and one for the giant moth flying at people's heads and making girls scream. at PURE it was all about the minor victories. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1742 | The worst burger king I ever been to ! I love burger king and the wackest one is by my house (this one). Its empty for a reason and the employees seem careless. Service is slow even if your the only customer. Food isnt fresh . Shameful. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1744 | This place was highly recommended by our friends and we were hoping to also like it. First off, I called and asked if I could bring a small birthday cake for my husband's birthday. The lady on the phone said it was not an issue. We got there and it was packed on a Friday night. The hostess said it would be 20 minutes for a table. Literally two seconds later, there was a four person table cleared. I asked for the table and she got someone to clean it for us. The place was busy and noisy. The menu was limited and average priced for most items. I craved noodles so ordered the Pad-Seiw. The noodles were alright. Somehow seems like there should be basil in the dish and not a bunch of cauliflower. The hubby had the bbq chicken with coconut rice. Later our server later came back to tell us that they were going to charge us 5 dollars for bringing our own cake. Nice how that was not mentioned on the phone or when she first took the cake to the fridge for us. So sadly we will not be returning. Thai Rama has much better food and service. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1745 | Never again. We got two larges, one Hawaiian and one meat, it cost us $50. I've never paid that much for two pies ever so we expected to be amazed. The only amazing thing about any of this is that these people have the audacity to serve this. Both were thrown out after a bite of each, this is absolute garbage. It should be called 'Double Price' and they are CHEAP with the toppings. We could literally see the crust through the pizza. Garbage, slim toppings, crust that tasted like paper and the whole thing had a very nasty odor.A \"proud Quebec product\" indeed. I want my money back, you can keep the vomit sauce. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1746 | If I was teacher, I'd be the one that starts you off with 100% and you can keep it, or lose it. There is nothing to earn. I review similarly. You start off with 5 stars, you keep them or lose them. -1 Star: The food was not delicious even by bar standards. I ordered the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce. The breading was disgusting and flaking off. My friend order the chicken tacos, which tasted good, but she ended up with food poisoning later in the day :(-1 Star: The service. As mentioned above I ordered the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce. The server asked me what heat I wanted and I inquired, \"How hot is hot?!\" \"OMG! Hot is really really hot! I wouldn't recommend it\" So I settled on the medium. Turns out we have different definitions of hot and when my chicken tenders with sauce on the side arrived I tasted nothing but bland chicken. Completely flavorless. I didn't want to be a huge ass and send my food back because the server was so completely off with her suggestion so I just asked for a side of hot sauce..........................let each of those periods represent a minute that went by without hot sauce and without acknowledgment. Finally she came by and I again asked about my hot sauce. She rolled her eyes and kind of huffed something unintelligible (obviously inconvenienced) and started talking to the table next to us..........finally, after about 30 minutes between first requesting hot sauce and receiving, my cold chicken tenders received their compliment. Yes, the restaurant was busy, it was a typical AFC game day. Typical game day, much less busy than I've seen in 100 other sports bars, including ones I've worked at, so sympathic I am not. If your servers can't handle it, staff more on game days. How many people want a job these days? -1 Star: The bill. It is a sports bar with multiple games running all day and without prompting and still a half our beers left, our bill was brought to us. I would have easily done another round but with the amount of time everything was taking and the subtle hint to close out, we decided maybe we should take our business elsewhere. -1 Star: They changed our game to the pregame of another game which without sound, is pretty much was just 2 guys sitting at a desk talking on mute. I get that this happens at sports bars and I thought the group of 5 guys next to us much have requested it. Then I realized they were also pissed off about the channel change! So, why unprompted (no other tables could see that tv) they change a live game to a pregame with no sound, I will never understand.So we are down to 1 Star. I would've have given zero if I could've. The final insult to injury...-1 Star: Extra sauce charges. This is pretty trivial, which is why I don't understand, after waiting 30 minutes for wing sauce the waitress didn't comp the $.50. I know how the restaurant game works. You go to the kitchen and ask for a side of hot sauce, especially after you screwed up and took forever. It does not have to go through the computer. $.50. I ended up being charged for 2 sauces, the medium, which I didn't touch and the hot, which took forever. I would've talked to the manager and got it comped but I decided to take it out of the tip instead...its all the same dollars and cents to me honey so upcharge all you want. I should say I've been to a bunch of other Zipps in Phoenix: Greenway, Via de Ventura, Indian School/36st, never had any issue. They are 3/4 star establishment, good places to drink beer, each average bar food and enjoy a game. I don't know what it is about this Zipps--the management, staff training, complete lack of customer service. Never will go back. If you aren't a regular you will have a TERRIBLE experience like I did. Drive the 4 miles to Greenway/64thSt or Via de Ventura, you'll be much better off. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1747 | I was in Vegas in the summer of 2011 and went to the Aria Buffet many times because it was amazing. They just recently remodeled and it is half the size it used to be. the food was sitting around for a while and had no taste at all. I was very dissapointed. Almost $50 nd it was horrible I would recomend Caesars Buffet it is like what Aria used to be. I really hate writing bad reviews , but Aria really dropped the ball | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1749 | Went into Topshop today to return an outfit and I was told by Sara \"the manager\" that my clothes were too worn. She arrived to the counter in a horrible mood and didn't even greet me with a hello or how are you or even introduce herself as the manager. I worn them for maybe an hour and they were still in perfect condition. She then told me the extra buttons are missing but I don't know anyone that keeps the extra buttons on their outfits while they wear them. Just the week before I spent $500 on clothes there and I just needed to return one outfit but she said that she sees clothes everyday and mine are \"wrinkly\" so u can't return them for me because they have a few wrinkles she said yes and that's it. She was so disrespectful and very demeaning. I said then maybe I'll try to go to a different Topshop facility so I can talk to someone with better customer service skills and she said good luck because I'm the manager and were the only Topshop in Vegas. This is apparently the only Topshop in Vegas so needless to say I won't be shopping there anymore. Sincerely, a used to be a loyal guest! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1750 | Great location. That cannot be over emphasized. However: uncomfortable beds (I could feel the springs), the bed made the worst noise whenever you moved (and woke up everyone else in the room), the shower was either so pressurized that you feel over or no presser at all. The staff were friendly enough, but I felt like we should have been told in advance that we were not going to be staying in the main building. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1753 | We were just at coyote ugly and had an absolutely horrible experience. We went to the washroom and then the bouncer Martin Hampton would not let us back in. No one is an angel in vegas, but we were clearly not out of control. He claimed we were and we are parents at almost 50 years of age with three boys. I don't know what they were up to, but they ruined our evening. When you are wrong, that is fine, but this situation baffles me. Don't you want business? and i write this note in the clearly inebriated state that they assessed me at? AVOID | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1754 | Was able to get in and out, but something about this store doesn't quite add up. Maybe it's the close calls by cars zipping through the parking lot, or how the store is so far into the WhiteHall complex (feels like you are driving forever once you turn off of S.Tryon).Walmart is what it is... some locations slightly better than others... this is on the other end in my book. Luckily I only have to go here once in a while. It does serve a good place to kill time if you are waiting for someone to arrive at the airport. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1755 | Pros: Good hours. The amount of 'tech' in the office is appreciated as it seems to save time. Really liked Dr. Dombo. Listened, provided feedback and understood my concerns. Cons: Its good to see multiple providers since its not certain you'd get the one you want so in rotating through them I found that the other provider was not someone I personally found comparable to work with during my pregnancy. She would refer to tests I hadn't completed (and not believe me or hear me when I said I didn't), she said I gained too much weight since my last appt (not realizing it had been more weeks than the standard number) and overall rather than giving me options, told stories from her residency about why I should do certain things rather than giving me pros and cons (i.e. someone died of the flu during her residency so one should definitely get a flu shot). I didn't feel treated with respect by her and at 33 weeks have switched providers. (After doing this I've heard at least one other story of this particular doctor being a challenge). Overall she doesn't seem very passionate about helping women and is going through the motions (I get it but I work a desk job, she's bringing life into the world). Though I really liked Dr. Dombo I don't want to risk having to be with this other provider. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1756 | I wanted to love this restaurant from the moment I walked in. A Sunday brunch with friends let me experience the ambiance, delicious food, great pastries (thanks Amelie's), and rocking bloody mary's. From this description alone you'd expect a 5 star rating, but with this restaurant it's the service which destroys it. It often times feels like you're playing Russian Roulette with a 4 bullets loaded. I just don't understand it.The first time we went it was magical. The second time we went (also with another couple) the service began to show its wear and tear. All the other times were a toss up between amazing and atrocious with no indicators to give you advance warning.The last straw for me came after a very difficult day in which my wife and I were hoping Cafe Monet could turn it around. From the first impression we could tell the waitress would rather be having a root canal than take our order. This wasn't the first time we'd encountered that look in Cafe Monte, but with an almost empty restaurant (we went in early) you think she'd want to milk every ounce of tip she couldAttitude dripped from her monologue and our lack of alcoholic drink orders brought a sigh to her lips. All I wanted, nay... craved, was a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant warmed up. This was the text book definition of a SIMPLE order. I'll give you a second to figure out what happened next.She screwed it up. She gave me a chocolate croissant and then an almond chocolate croissant. She didn't care less about the screw up. After tasting the incorrect almond croissant I asked for the correct one to be brought out. She snagged the plate and then disappeared. Actually, most of the time she was disappeared which is an amazing feat for an empty restaurant.When the correct croissant finally came out it was cold. C'mon.... seriously? I asked for it heated up and received barely lukewarm. Suffice it say, my tip reflected her total lack of caring. I'm done with this place. If I want French I'll go to Georges Brasserie and if I want pastries then I'll go to Amelie's. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1757 | Needs improvement both food and cleanliness. The restroom was dirty, the table was sticky and the chicken that I ordered was not cooked all the way through. I have visited this location before and had better experience, it just needs more effort to do things better and more consistency. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1758 | Read rave reviews for the burger, so we tried it. Just ok, could have more flavor. Sweet potato fries were limp and soggy too. The wait was also really long, but it's more because it's a small restaurant I think. I guess it's sort of the only burger joint in Squirrel Hill, but I think i'd go somewhere else instead. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1759 | So, apparently there are new owners and it is now called Happy Wok. I would always get Cheng's Express and it was fast and tasty. I called to place a delivery order last month, Aug 2014 and was told all the delivery people were out of the country. So I called today, 9/14/14 and found out there is a new name and new owners. The food took twice as long to get delivered and tasted.... well, there was really no taste.. Bland and blah. I will morn the loss of Cheng's Express and let Happy Wok go on it's happy way. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1760 | I liked the old store set up better. The baked bean recipe tastes different (on the bad side) and the prices have jumped up. $13 for a small 3 meat plate- I would rather go to tony romas for that price or Memphis BBQ which is just down the street. Oh and the Mac and cheese sucks! Even microwave crap tastes better. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1761 | Late lunch- Manhattan chowder too \"fishy\"-Fries taste like made from frozen- chicken guacamole sandwich good- service good - restaurant looks nice- will not be going back. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1762 | First to state I was really disappointed with my experience at circus circus in general. But me and my brother were so tired by the time we got to the hotel that making the effort of going out to eat any where else didn't seem worth is. As for \"cheap\" yeah I guess so but simply adding a beer made the meal about $30 per person which didn't feel that cheap at all. The food all tasted and looked like it had been frozen and the decor was more school cafeteria then vacation. The only nice thing I can say is that the staff were very nice. And if you had very picky children I guess there could be appeal. But other then that save your money if you want to eat mediocre food and go to mcdonalds. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1763 | Don't visit for breakfast. Poor service, overpriced juice and coffee, very limited menu, food is average at best. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1764 | BOOBIES + HOT WINGS = PARADISE!!!!!Theoretically, the above equation rings true. Not so much at the Hooter's in Vegas. From a dining standpoint, it sucked. The service was very slow (how does it take 45 minutes to fry up wings!?), the coffee was served in styrofoam cups, the \"plates\" were wet (ewwwww). The wings were pretty good, but not spectacular.Well...since the food sucked, BRING ON THE BOOBIES! Again, disappointment. Even the main attraction, the so-called \"Hooter's Girls\" were meh. Lots of skinny legs, flat asses and fake hootie-hoos. I dunno. I just didn't get it. Maybe cause our party consisted of two straight girls and a gay man, but I just wasn't terribly impressed with Hooters. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1765 | My wife and I lived at Avanti from October of 2011 until July of 2013. In those 21 months, we enjoyed our time there. They have a great pool/BBQ area, and the 1 bedroom apartment was all we needed at the time. They were pretty efficient about getting things fixed, and for the price of $725/mo, we really couldn't beat it.All that being said, I just got done with my move out/check out process...We moved into a house about a month before our lease at the apartment was up. Because of this, I had the power to the apartment cut when we no longer lived there. This being the case, it would have been difficult for me to vacuum after we moved everything out. So, I specifically asked how the cleaning fees were assessed after the move out so I could understand what I really needed to clean. I was told, \"We don't really charge for cleaning after move out, just major damages.\" Great. Had I known that they would charge me $50 for extra cleaning ($25 for cleaning, and $25 for a TRASH BAG), I would have ran an extension cord from outside to vacuum the inside. When I explained to Avanti what I had been told earlier, and informed them of how I would have vacuumed if they had explained their policy when I inquired about it, they replied, \"It's in your lease.\"BEWARE IF YOU OWN PETS!!!We owned one small, house-trained dog, and when we moved in, we paid a $250 non-refundable pet FEE. Fine. The pet DEPOSIT (which is an additional $250) was waived because of a move-in special. However, because they waived the initial deposit, they charged us $120 for \"pet cleaning\" upon move out. Once again, had I known that, I would have made sure the carpets looked pristine. This is not to mention the \"pet RENT\" that we paid every month ($25/mo PER PET for 21 months = Another $525 in pet fees for us). So if you're not prepared to get triple-charged for your pets and pay a total of $895 or more to have your pet(s) live with you at Avanti, you may want to consider a more \"pet-friendly\" apartment. I didn't argue the extra damage fees they charged us at move-out because I didn't take pictures of the entire apartment to prove otherwise...An overall good experience at this apartment was completely tarnished by the fact that they really screwed us after we were done living there, and really didn't care. I guess this review mirrors the others that have been posted:Good apartment complex, piss poor management. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1766 | This place is an embarrassment to mexican restaurants. The food here is terrible! Here's what we ordered:Combo taco/enchilada / oily taco, diarrhea enchilada Green chilie burrito / the tortilla was plastic and the filling was gross.Taco salad / bunch of stuff with zero taste. Should have grazed in the planter.The beans and rice? Really? They couldn't even get that right. Under cooked bland rice and under cooked beans.This place sux!Beer is good. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1767 | I've had 2 surgeries in my feet and spinal surgery.I went to Dr Kuruvilla for a 3rd foot surgery-. I was told to arrive at a communal surgery center @ 6:00am- I laid there out in the open for Four hours.My surgery lasted less than an hour- and my insurance company was billed more than $20,000! I've been asking him for a permanent handicap placard for my car- He said he's not qualified to issue one- 3 different people at the DMV told me Any surgeon could do this due to my extensive surgeries- ( and they asked me if he was a real doctor) yet he refused. He said he would give me one for a Year- I arrived @ the DMV to find it was for 6 mos - sooo I drove back to his office- and the girl at the desk became annoyed with me and insisted I couldn't get one for a year- I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone!! Something weird is definitely wrong there! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1768 | It was faster than a Filibertos. Which means, their stuff is probably all frozen and just deep-fried before serving. I've been here for lunch a couple times and its OK at best. I mean, cheap, fast, Mexican food and its close by. Chips and salsa are okay. I usually order off their lunch menu and went with a lunch-sized chimi. Our food came out so fast. I think it took us 20 minutes to have lunch since the food came out so quick. I cut open my chimi and noticed a lot more \"juice\" in it than normal and when forked some of the shredded beef out of the chimi to have a taste, it was kind of gamey. I've had better experiences here but today's lunch made me gag and I never do that! =) | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1769 | This place use to good, but they just recently CUT BACK on everything! First of all, they're going cheap on their drinks! I normally get the snow drinks and this last time, I could NOT taste the flavor at all! All I tasted was the sweet milk and ice...literally! Secondly, they just started to not hand out the punch cards anymore. They still accept them, but no longer hand them out....which is fine. Lastly, the credit card machine has been down for a few months now. I personally think they're trying to get away from using a credit card machine. It doesn't take long to have someone to come out anf fix this machine. Don't put a sign out that says credit card machine is currently out if you're not going to fix it. Just tell your customers that you no longer accept credit and cash is only acceptable. I'm boycotting this place until they fix something. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1770 | Don't go here for the food. The atmosphere and bar are very nice. However, the food is flavorless. The menu also mentions that most food can be cooked in 4 or 5 minutes, which is interesting since with a half full restaurant, we still waited 30 minutes for our food. We had the Peppercorn Crust Burger (blah), Roasted Chicken Sandwich (blah), Roasted Sweet Potato fritters (so so) and scalloped potatoes (left half on the plate they were so good). There are so many other places in Phoenix that serve a better \"gourmet\" burger in a similar environment -- Fez, and Zinburger come to mind. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1771 | We've been wanting to try Lo-lo's chicken and waffles for a few months now. Our interest was triggered by an ice cold bottles water that they gave away after out cholla hike. Since then, Lo-lo's was part of the conversation whenever we talk about chicken & waffles.Today, we finally got to try it!!!!!My verdict, wellllll it was just ok... maybe even a little over hyped... Not a little... Its over hyped...To be fair, we only ordered their signature Lo-lo's chicken and waffle. Maybe we should have ordered something else to get a good feel of their food. What we got were 3 pieces of southern fried chicken thigh (we requested for all thighs), 2 waffles with a scoop of butter on top and a side of syrup. the waffles were thin and was more on the crunchy side. The taste was ok, but there we a whole lot of flavor. The chicken, it was dry and small. Maybe my mom can cook a better chicken than what we got. I love the crispy of the chicken skin but the meat was just too dry. Take note, these are chicken thighs. They should be juicy and flavourful. I also orderede a side of egg... It was $3, for a scrambled egg with cheddar cheese. Extremely overpriced!Again to be fair, this was just my experience. Maybe other guest had a better order or a better meal. I may have to come back again for a better experience. However, my first impression is not giving me anything to look forward to yet.Would I come back? MaybeService? AverageServing size? Not what I expectedCleanliness? Bad. Had 2 strands of hair on my wafflesPrice? Overpriced. Side of eggs for $3. It was probably 3 full spoonsTaste? AverageOh and they don't allow outside drinks.

Too small of a dance floor for the amount of people they allow in. Cool to see a first time, but would never return. Unless you are buying a table for thousands of dollars, I don't see how you could enjoy this. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1775 | Here's the low-down: They are definitely a must at Texas Station if you're a night-owl and love steak and hamburgers! They serve breakfast all day, every day. Their pastries are reasonably priced, tasty and they are rather large for the money. Aside from these things, you're better off going to Denny's, iHop or the Feast Buffet only a few feet past the Starbucks farther into the casino area. I say this because the portions are plenty for whatever food you get - as it fills your plate! - but the breakfast I received was anything by great. It didn't take two long for my boyfriend and I to get a table. The blonde hostess was polite but definitely not very up-beat or \"smile-y\". Being an ex-hostess myself, I realize how important it is to be very happy, enthusiastic and charismatic - it really sets the mood more than you would think. Nevertheless, I didn't feel very welcome and again, it was just \"blah\". This cafe is not big at all from what I could see at the time of the day we arrived! It's no wonder other Yelpers complain about the wait, the place is actually pretty small. It's a little disorienting because I believe they block off half of the restaurant early in the day for some odd reason or another - I can only assume they open the place up for dinner and \"nightlight\" dining. Anyway, on to the good bits, we got Mercedes who is by far the best waitress in the entire restaurant! She was very sweet and she took the initiative to strike up a small conversation between us ordering, us waiting for food and once we actual began to eat. It was a kind gesture and it made our experience better - we definitely felt more comfortable than initially waiting for a table, if you know what I mean. I ended up ordering coffee and orange juice for the drinks, the boyfriend just getting a water. I went for the three egg veggie omelette with green bell pepper, mushrooms and spinach. It comes with hash browns which is nice and for some reason it comes with a plethora of toast? I had FOUR slices on my plate. Mercedes asked me if I wanted cheese on my omelette and I of course nodded, assuming she wanted my preference of cheese so I told her. Little did I know, they charged us for it! It was about two extra dollars added to the bill that was completely unnecessary. On top of it all, I also got a side of bacon - this was a terrible idea. I asked how much it would be and Mercedes told me it would be $3.49. That's right, almost $4 for FOUR slices of bacon! Once I ordered it, I ate once slice but then crumbled the rest on my omelette. In doing so by coincidence, Mercedes comes to the table a little later, saying that if she knew I wanted to do that, she could have added bacon to the omelette for only $.99! Really, people?! I feel like my wallet was violated for no apparent reason whatsoever. Don't they already get enough of my wallet when I use the blasted Slot machines? The boyfriend ended up getting the breakfast bowl. It came with scrambled eggs, hash browns, white gravy and a small biscuit on top. My omelette was beautifully made, but completely and totally tasteless and bland. I had to put more than four shakes of salt on it with pepper AND Tabasco sauce for it to even taste semi-desirable. The boyfriend's meal was \"okay\" as he put it. I didn't try a bite but taking a small taste of the biscuit, it was dry. Apparently the gravy they used gave his eggs and hash browns a taste but that is more than likely the case because of the sodium content in it. This is actually the reason why I'm giving Grand Cafe a two out of five stars - the breakfast food is so iffy, you may or may not even get something tasty! Remember how I said I got an orange juice and coffee? I mentioned that for a reason. Because BOTH of these things cost us an extra $3.00 EACH. Yes, you heard that right. A three dollar cup of Joe. Bottom line here: always ask the waitress how much extras and sides cost and DO NOT expect a cheap meal here. The family next to us in a booth ordered hamburgers and apparently, as I heard them tell their waitress, was phenomenal. Too bad we didn't get a slice of that cloud 9 they were on because when we looked at how much we owed after all was said and done, we were very disgruntled. Mercedes was a great waitress which is why I'm giving this Cafe TWO STARS instead of one. Visitors and hotel guests of Texas Station, go elsewhere for food! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1776 | This place is horrible!!! I use to love the one near asu. I ordered the Wong tong soup it took a while to come out. I was observing the people that were sitting next to me and the lady order the exact same soup as I did but she felt like the soup with spicy. So they took back the soup and they brought me the exact same soup she was eating from.They just added more juice so it was still warm. The spoon still had the lady's lipstick on it. This was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1777 | We went in there on Sunday for lunch, it was packed-well the foyer was at least. After sitting there for ten minutes we were led to a dinig area that was maybe 1/3 full of customers. I was a bit confused on their use of host and hostesess. There was one person taking names, another checking the names, two other standing their alternating taking the diners to their seats in the dated dining room. Christ the only reason we went to this place is because we had a gift card and I'm hoping the gift giver next year makes a better choice. So my wife ordered the fettucini alfredo with Chicken (she has a standard) and I ordered some sort of entre that appeals to men that only eat beef, toss it with some pasta and voila, Dinner! The humorous moment was when the server asked me how I would like my braised beef done-it's braised, look it up. Anyhow the sauce with it was a cream base, had some portabella mushrooms with it and some fresh parsley (to make it appear fresh) though my entre looked like it has been sitting under the hot lights for a good 10 minutes. The salad we got was marginal (I don't get what the big deal is) and the breadsticks seemed like they'd been sitting in the basket for 10 minutes (not so hot)- While our food wasn't absolutely horrible, I don't understand why this place is full all the time. I would love for it to be another 10 years (or more) until I eat here again....glad I wasn't paying for it! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1778 | Absolutely unimpressive place. Came here due to the myriad of 5-star reviews. Drove twice around the carpark before realising this place is literally INSIDE the Lee Lee market, and there is NO sign, not even a sandwich board, indicating this on the outside! Went in and got seated immediately. Water brought out quick. Orders taken and served quick. That's where the delight ended. They didn't have the fresh coconut that I normally get so that was disappointing. My \"large\" pho was ok, but I wouldn't classify it as a large. Maybe a medium. Broth tasted ok. Hardly any of the sliced beef balls or tripe, or in fact much meat at all. Small handful of bean sprouts and a single tiny lime slice provided. My kid had the crepe with bean sprouts, shrimp and pork. Yuck. I had some - the crepe tasted bland and ten minutes later, cold (my kid tried his best to delay actually eating any, can't blame him), I wouldn't have served it to a dog. Wife thought her vermicelli and BBQ pork was okay and liked the \"fresh\" taste, but thank god the fish sauce was on the side. Ugh. Absolutely NO table service after we'd started, not even offers to refill water. Had to get up and walk around to the tiny cash register to pay. Got back to table and sat down to wait for the kid to strangle down another couple of bites and that's when I had an ice water jug held in front of me as a refill offer. Nope, done.This place is nowhere near as efficient or generous with their portions as either Pho Thanh (Camelback) or Da Vang (19th Ave). Those who think the prices are cheap need to understand that those prices are normal for a viet place. They're all this cheap, except the ridiculously-overpriced Rice Paper on 7th Ave. Go to Pho Thanh (http://www.yelp.com/biz/pho-thanh-phoenix), order the large pho dac biet for $6.75 and run a comparison of what you get.I wouldn't go back here. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1779 | I really wanted some pho the other night and decided to check this place out. I had seen it from the road a million times and thought I'd give it a try. I have to say, it wasn't really what I had expected. It wasn't terrible, but it was very far from good. The pho was okay, I got the chicken. But I feel like they didn't give very much basil, lime, and jalape\u00f1o on the side. Portions were large which was good. My major issue with this place was the smell. OH THE SMELL. That smell was not a smell that belonged in a restaurant. There was something funky happening in there, and it was not good. In fact, it was very strong. I couldn't tell if it was garbage, or their cleaning solution they used on the table, but I was very close to just leaving when I first got there. (The only reason I didn't leave was because I was already there and starving.) It felt dirty too, but it was really dark in there so it was a little hard to tell. Could have been the smell that made me feel that way though. The music was really really loud too, I may just be being picky, but it could have been taken down a notch (or several). The service left a quite a bit to be desired, but wasn't the worst. I'm just very \"ehh\" about this place. If people were going and invited me, I'd go and probably wouldn't complain. If I were seeking out pho on my own, I think that I would definitely try somewhere else.Now after reading the other reviews, I won't ever touch this place. I feel like I got lucky. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1780 | i'm on the west coast - my relatives are on the east coast. they order flowers for me. they contact blue diamond florist because it is close to my home. they send me a picture of the flowers i am to receive. my flowers arrive and OMG! THERE ARE NO FLOWERS...it is all GREENERY! i call the florist. i get the owner...SARA. she tells me IN POOR ENGLISH that she followed the recipe for the flowers. WHAT? you need a recipe? and if so....YOU DIDN\"T FOLLOW THE RECIPE! I am sure TELAFLORA DID NOT TELL YOU TO FILL THE VASE WITH GREENS AND THROW IN TWO FLOWERS!!! I tried dealing with this woman on this arrangement and she just did not understand a thing i was saying. I TOLD HER TO DELIVER ANOTHER ARRANGEMENT!! My relatives did NOT pay for fern....they paid for FLOWERS! the delivery guy comes, the flowers - or should i say - greenery and FOUR flowers were wilted. he tells me he doesn't know how she stays in business because he gets complaints from just about every person he delivers flowers to. he is retired and just wants a little job on the side to stay busy and he is finding this job to be quite amuzing. bottom line is: i would NEVER recommend this florist to my worst enemy that would just be toooo cruel. this lady is trying to make a fast buck off people by filling her arrangements with GREENRY and cutting back on the flowers. FLOWERS IS WHAT WAS PAID FOR.....the pictures online SHOW you what the arrangement looks like and SHE JUST CAN'T DO IT or maybe she just refuses to do it so she can rake in the money and laugh the entire way to the bank on us AMERICANS! GO THE HELL BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!!! YOU WON'T EVER RIP ME OR ANY OF MY FRIENDS OFF AGAIN!!! | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1783 | Last night was the second time I tried it, and still have the same problem. 1. Dough has an uncooked taste 2.they only have a red sauce for the pizza, and that just leads to much acid in my system. So I will stick to making my own our will stick to dominos who at least uses real Spinach not out of a can! So gross! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1784 | I gave it 2-stars because all other bubble teas in Madison got 1-star. If you want real bubble tea, make it yourself or go to China town.They got some interesting chews for adding to the drinks - mango star (basically flavored agar) and coconut jelly strips. The drinks are way too sweet and insufficient in real fruit for the price they charge. I'd say, get just the plain tapioca milk tea. Every flavor you request in addition will ruin it. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1785 | I bought stuff from this place twice. Tookmforever because the selection was bad and prices ridiculous. Quality not so good, for slver there were better dealsmat tj maxx than using a 100. Off coupon. They alsontried to tell us my wife's diamond was shattered when we inquired about a trade in. Most of their sales help were like used car salespeople and lied through their teeth. I had three negative shopping experiences here, returned everything bought, and found higher quality at lower prices elsewhere. BUYER BEWARE. Sorrt for typos, using my ipad. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1786 | This place is the worst. I was a customer for 2 years. & was always dissatisfied with things but was too lazy to look for a better salon until this week! I've had enough of this place. Don't bother paying extra money for a deluxe pedicure because you get a regular pedicure & they'll argue with you that you got the deluxe but you didn't. The deluxe is supposed to be a longer massage & my pedicure was done in 15 minutes which is not even the amount of time if a regular pedicure! I told them I paid extra for a deluxe & didn't get it & they argued back that I did. The owner does sloppy work on her fills too. They rush through their work so they can get back to their phones & laptops! They constantly take personal calls while working and they speak non stop Vietnamese to each other when customers are there. They burn insense in front if their Buddah statue that gives me a pounding headache. They've had a few nasty male guys working here as well that had bad chair side manner but have since been fired but still employ the man that ripped me off on a deluxe pedicure. They do not clean their tools well, have thick dust on the pictures on the walls and the male owner frequently sleeps in his chair in the back of the salon. Run to find another place and don't go here! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1787 | This place is near my job. It is one of the few restaurants that I can eat at in the area, between my refusal to eat animal products and a gluten intolerance. I have eaten here over a dozen times. I agree with previous reviews that it is overpriced, but I have let that go as it is locally owned and fresh produce can add up. HOWEVER, twice a single staff member has spilled on me when cleaning up. The first time she spilled salad dressing on my lap and did not seem to realize it. She gave me a strange look when I asked for another napkin. Once she realized it she did apologize. The second time she spilled someone else's ice on my feet and purse. I got a muttered apology with no eye contact. I waited a few minutes to see if someone would do something to try to keep my business. I am a regular and it was the second spill. No one approached me so I left. I do believe that the young woman is a nice person. She seemed embarrassed, but the staff have poor customer service skills.Also, I believe that they substitute greens without informing the customer. Once I ordered romaine and believe I got iceberg. Same thing when I ordered butter lettuce. If you want real greens ask for spinach or the mixed greens.I admire the effort to open a healthy restaurant in South Phoenix. I wish this place was managed better... | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1788 | In sum, I do not recommend eating here. In fact, I feel I am being overly generous giving it 2 stars. I felt, since my picky brother enjoyed his strange meal that I should at least give it 2 stars. If we are to base it solely on my dish and that of my friends- a one star would more than suffice. That being said, I have to wonder if I should have eaten something other than crepes. I see my fellow trusted yelpers enjoyed their meals- but none of them eat the crepes!Even if I never had a crepe before, let alone the AMAZING light as a cloud crepes from Paris 66 I would still know the crepes served here are largely inedible. But I am getting ahead of myself.The place was largely empty when we arrived on a late weekend morning. Only about 3 other tables besides our party of 4. Yet we waited for over an hour for 2 orders of crepes, french toast, and a sandwich. Really? Our waitress was not much for conversation. My friend, who is notoriously more picky than my brother requested whipped cream instead of something else in her crepe. At first, the waitress tried to convince her not to change the menu as it would annoy the cooks. After a few minutes of talking she finally accepted my friends request. She wanted to add whipped cream not lobster I don't see what the fuss was about to begin with- bygones.I ordered a fruit crepe. Which the exception of the cooking outcome resembling a burnt-ish flaming campfire marshmallow, folded up like an egg roll, the taste was boring, burnt, and listless. I eat two bites and put down my napkin. I had no idea one could defile a crepe in such a way until that day. My friend that requested the whipped cream. If I thought my crepe saw a rough afternoon her looked like it was literally dropped on the floor a few times then thrown on the plate. Guess they showed her for ordering that whipped cream? I can see now why the waitress warned us not to change the menu. May I suggest that their employees partake in some local anger management meetings?My brother ordered the savory french toast. Italian made with ham, capicola, salami, pepperoni, and marinara Sauce. He loved it. Then again he also loves McD's and Taco Bell. I did not try his meal, I took his word for it.My husband ordered a sandwich The Club- he said it was good. Not bad, not great but good. Lastly, I was not a fan of their coffee either. I could not wait to leave. I only live a few blocks away and needed to go home to make something to eat.On a positive note, I loved the Einstein artwork. It was the one positive thing I can recall of our visit. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1789 | Okay, I understand that Las Vegas being the west coast symbol of American capitalism, opulence, and luxury and all, probably means that everything is going to be much more expensive than your wallet is used to but $5.50 for a scoop of below average gelato is treason. After trying samples, I refused to let myself be robbed blind by Cocolini's. Their pistachio flavor didn't even taste like pistachio! It tasted more like mint! Perhaps cross contamination? I don't think so since pistachio was no where near any mint flavors. Their lemon and strawberry flavors were way too artificially sweet. I have a heavy hunch that they use flavoring syrups, especially of the high fructose variety in more than gratuitous amounts in their 'gelato'. It's a good thing everyone who eats at Cocolini's is a tourist, because this place wouldn't last a minute with an actual non-transient customer base to satisfy. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1792 | Waiting for almost an hour tonightwith music blasting at rock concert decibels to ensure, \"customer privacy.\" It is too bad that customers cannot hear the customer service reps due to the loud music. Not to mention that it is almost impossible to concentrate on reading, or anything else you want to do, to pass the time due to the loud, unnecessary, music. If privacy is their main concern, then I can suggest about 20 different ways to address that without blaring loud music throughout the store. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1793 | Apparently you cannot order the traveler through the drive-through even though it does not state that anywhere on the menu and if you go inside to order the traveler the clerks get upset and sigh as though your an inconvenience to them.

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1795 | Service was pretty good but the food was just \"meh.\" Sushi wasn't that great, and the hibachi was sub-par (the lack of shrimp sauce was a big strike). Steak was tough and overcooked. The shrimp were dry and overcooked. Nothing special. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1796 | We have been coming here for years, loved the food and the ambience...until tonight. This was suppose to be a special night out for our daughter before she headed off to college. We decided to sit in the bar area..bad idea if you want to be served food quickly. We ordered our dinner at 6:00....at 6:35 our waitress came by to apologize for how long it was taking...apparently there was a private party with 60 people in the area next to us and the food was taking a while. That was a little hard to believe as there was a family of 5 sitting in the restaurant area who got bread and were served long before us...and we didn't get any bread. Our food finally arrived at 6:45. My daughter and I ordered the salmon, my husband-the steak. The salmon was supposed to have a citrus marinade..no citrus flavor was to be found, and it was very dry. My husband's steak was so over done and dry, he didn't even want to bring the leftover home to our dog. We expressed our disappointment to the waitress-who was very nice and apologized..she mentioned the chef is new and we are not the first people to complain about the food. We did get a small discount for the meal, but unfortunately, will not be back. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1798 | I came in here because I had seen how amazing all the Yelp reviews were, and now I am completely baffled. The best single word to describe this place is \"Forgettable\". The spicy tuna roll was so incredibly spicy (even for a native Arizonan) that I didn't even finish it, which has never happened to me with any meal in my life. The fish that was served was of a slimy consistency. The scallop roll was edible, but nothing to write home about. Every roll I ordered fell apart, usually before I had even touched it. The amount of 5 star reviews absolutely blows my mind. I will continue to take my business to the other end of the parking lot. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1799 | What the hell is this place - the Circus Circus Annex? There was literally not one thing in this place that would have caused me to break my stride as I sauntered in one door and ran out the other.
