We went out to eat here for the first time ever. Service was not good being that we were the only ones in the restaurant. Food was cold and took forever to receive it. These were the good things we experienced. I gpt the most horrible food poisoning i have ever had. Was throwing up for 1 week thereafter. I went back and approached them and all they did was tell me in Spanish that they did not understand English and shrugged their shoulders. Never eat here. When problems occur they run away. Si recomiendo este lugar! La comida tiene buen sabor! Los que trababa ah\xc3\xad son bien amables y amigables! No puedo esperar para la otra ves que valla No bueno. La comida muy mala y me cobraron 8.98 por una margarita sin alcohol. No medijieron que no vendian liquor cuando la ordene. Pero vender cervezas. Definitely not what I expected. I've driven by this place several times and finally decided to give it a try. The server was spot on. The food was great. I will return and try a few more things. I just wish it was open for breakfast. Owner take note we have, we have nothing else this good in the area. The closest is Lindo Michoac\xc3\xa1n. You guys would kick ass if you served breakfast. Test out on the weekends and see how it goes... Surprisingly really good. I had the Pasta Brava. Really liked it. Looks from outside are deceiving. Ambiance has a little to be desired. |

McKellips Rd' | b'True' | mexican | I would give more stars but the drive through line wait time is horrendous \n\nI love coming in Taco Tuesday for the chicken tacos. It's hard bringing the kids though because everything else is so expensive for a fast food place. I like getting Cherry coke too but costs more than my tacos. \n\nEither way I like it. Get the drive through times down and it's a 5 star from me. Jessica has to be rudest person at this place. We have been going here at least 3 times a week and the last 2 times she was so rude that we will not be back! Orders have been wrong, items left out of orders but they were fixed..not by Jessica. Prices keep changing and its frustrating! In the last 2 weeks same item has changed price 3 times depending on who took our order. There are lots of .....bertos to choose from. If you want decent service and consistent prices....avoid this location!! 3 words: food poisoning. Beware!\n\nMore words: This used to be my favorite one, but last weekend we got terrible food poisoning and the only thing we'd eaten in common was burritos (an Arizona and a bacon breakfast) from here. Maybe stay away for a while. The best Filibertos in the whole state! Its clean and the employees are pleasant. Clean bathrooms and they maintain a very clean seating area/salsa bar. Texas burrito and a gold peak tea is amazing! Horrible customer service and prices have gone up. We use to dine here regularly but it's going downhill fast. This last visit in the drive through we asked for brown sauce on the side. We have always asked and they have always given, along with red and green. This employee who later I found out went by Manuel said NO. He said he doesn't want me to get use to them giving us the brown sauce because it's ten feet away in the main part of the filibertos and if he's ever busy(I was the ONLY car in line) he won't be able to get it. I asked then you won't even this one time for a good customer service rating do the right thing? Isn't a drive through all about convenience? So after a few minutes going back and forth and him knowing I have a baby and toddler with no shoes on in the car I grab my food, pull into parking lot grab my kids carry them Inside get my brown sauce and then ask for the manager and they said to just call back later she is gone for at least two weeks and she's not going to care because the owner is Manuel's cousin. I even video taped Manuel and the inside to show how NOT busy they were. Plus they are more expensive now then Rosas down the St which is better anyways!!! |

Received dishes in ten minute intervals. Shrimp dish was very small and very salty. Chicken was awful- we couldn't even eat it. Beef dishes were ok but salty and saucy. They also tried to charge for dishes never received after we had asked twice. Will never return. Worst food. Meats look and taste like plastic... chow mein in a sloppy liquid... not recommended This is good Chinese food, kind of home cooking in various styles.\n\nWhen they say something is spicy, they mean it. The menu shows 1- to 3-peppers as the indication of slice level. I had a 1-pepper spicy dish, beef with cumin, and it was at the limit of what I could take. Very good, but very spicy. I can't imagine what 3-pepper fish would be like.\n\nI was visiting Montreal. If I visit again, I'll definitely go back there. ATMOSPHERE: It's a nice little clean restaurant. Super simple, clean and has hints of Chinese decor pieces.\n\nFOOD: I really liked the food here. They offer authentic Chinese food. Their garlic green beans are delicious. The flavor is great and the portions are decent. Also I did find the meals a little bit too greasy but hey, you're eating at a Chinese restaurant so I'm not too taken aback.\n\nPRICE: The menu items were a bit on the pricier side. But considering the fact that this is one of the few authentic Chinese restaurants in the West Island, I can't say that I'm too surprised at the slight spike in prices.\n\nSERVICE: Staff here is quite friendly. They do their jobs and they are quick and efficient. Such an authentic Chinese restaurant! I moved from Toronto to Montreal, surprised me I can have the opportunity to have such a spread!! \nAlso, their combo meals are perfect for a quick bite! \nBravo! |

Based on 4 experiences at Ocean Prime I can conclude that it's a higher quality and better value than Mastro's and similar restaurants. All seafood at Ocean Prime comes with generous, perfectly chosen accompaniments. Their swordfish is amazing and I also love the scallops with risotto and peas. It's our go-to for a nice seafood date night! When average five star food with three star service, you get a four star review. We recently went to OP for a family occasion. There is no question that the food was top notch. That said, when the chef (and the waiter) forgot about a French onion soup that left under the broiler to the point of morphing into an inedible crisp, followed by nearly 20 minutes to bring the coffee was ordered for dessert, and lastly, an inability to find our waiter for so long to give him our credit card that we flagged down a waiter from another section, the service had a more lasting memory than the food. Perhaps it was an issue of being understaffed, but the reality is that at this price point, sub par service is not acceptable and is something that will cause me to patronize the abundance of OP's competitors that are in the same genre. To sum it up, the food was well done, but the service was medium rare at best. Twice we've dined there and the service is impeccable and the food consistently great. Perfect variety of menu items and an impressive selection of wines. Only wish is for them to diversify their wine glass options. Right now it's one glass fits all but I wouldn't call it a major complaint.\n\nNext time I've got to have the black truffle Mac and the Smoked Gouda Tater Tots!!\n\nGreat place, great food and great staff. Customer service at the bar is terrible. Friendly bartenders but are too preoccupied talking to each other than serving upon their customers. Takes 10 minutes to get a drink on days when you have 2-3 bar tenders behind the bar and the restaurant not even quarter full! You ask for something and up goes the bartender to get you the item and then suddenly gets sidetracked in a conversation or another order and you are forgotten. This is not the first time - this is pretty much the experience every single time! They have 2 senior managers that should be paying attention to service at bar but they stand around and often engage in conversations that sidetrack the bartenders! I suggest to the managers to hold a 5-minute morning talk before bar opens and talk about importance of customer service!\n\nPatrons - If you are coming here for a drink - I suggest you skip and go right next door to Blue Martini where service at bar is much better! We come to Ocean Prime expecting a fantastic Platinum experience. However, in reality it was anything but. We arrived around 7pm to a restaurant that was only at about 10% capacity. Our server arrived to the table and was just a bit clunky. I expressed to him that it was my first time, expecting to be told about the menu maybe receive some suggestions. But none of that happened. I ordered a dirty Belvedere martini with blue cheese olives. It arrived about 10 mins later not ice cold and watered down. In my mind I thought ok so I\'ll just have water for the rest of the night. Our French onion soup comes out, and what\'s supposed to be a rich broth soup with a a layer of baked Swiss cheese tasted like it was a hybrid of Blue Cheese and Swiss. On to the main course, 8oz filet with Crab cake, and truffle mac and cheese. The filet I ordered Medium Rare was served Medium at best, the crab cake which the server said only had enough filling to bind it, was dry & crunchy. The sauce on the mac and cheese had broken leaving a cup of crispy noodles that were so hard I could have given it to my dog as a chew toy. The server comes back to the table about 8 minutes later and takes my steak back to have a replacement one prepared, fast forward 10 minutes I have a new steak that is lacking flavor and rare. So much so that the center is cool to the touch. Fast forward 20 mins we get our check and the server says to me, "we took care of your dessert for messing up the steak". I found this comical since I didn\'t order dessert. After its all said and done our bill totaled $166, $200 with tip. All for a subpar experience at a perceived above par restaurant. |

We came on a day where the restaurant was completely empty. Everything looked very clean when we sat down. Service was quick. The pizza was phenomenal- exactly what you expect from Vivo and just the right size. There were people in the back yelling in Italian which my partner found unprofessional. Still, would come back/recommend. The smell inside is so good like fresh dough and tomato sauce. I've been here a couple of times and I've got to tell you their Pizza is actually quite good. The dough that they use is very light and fluffy and I like the thin crust well done. The sauce taste amazing. Staff is friendly casual atmosphere good for lunch or groups Good but not great, hit and miss on some dishes, reasonable price, service so so after several visits. Bringing parmigiano regianno to table should be a given when you order pasta and not have to ask them and wait until half your plate finished until it comes. If you want to be a real Italian restaurant where there is lots a competition,gotta do the simple things right. Service was horrible! Not family friendly. No high chair for us, the 2 they have were being occupied. No substitutions on food, which I can appreciate. I just asked if they could boil different pasta but clearly that was to much of a hassle. The food itself is pretty good, but when the service isn't good everything else seems bland. Brought one person their dinner while the rest of the table waited, he was done by the time the rest of the table received their food. Unorganized. If "0" were possible this is what they would get!!\nHorrible place for service!!!\nWe made reservations 2 days previous for 7 pm for 5\nWhen we arrived table not ready and told to wait\nMeanwhile a friend of the owner with party of 4 waltzed in and he gave her our table while we continued to wait\nWhen confronted he told us he was getting us another table without apologizing for the blatant disrespect of the customer \nHad others in my party not insisted on staying I would have left and made a huge embarrassing scene for the rest of the patrons to hear!!\nHow\'s that for free advertising!!??\nOh and BTW food SO NOT WORTH IT!! mediocre at best! |

Authentic Italian food served in generous portions. Very attentive staff. We had spaghetti and meatballs, tortellini and penne arrabiata. Fresh garlic bread and cannolis were decadent. I cant believe they opened this right down the block from my office. I will be eating here everyday now. I used to eat at the one on deer valley. I am so glad they built one in scottsdale. My new favorite restaurant. Very delicious! Everything we had was amazing ... the fried mozzarella, pescatore, balsamic chicken and last but not least the cannoli!! Best cannoli I've ever had :) The red blend called Tie Dye was also very good. The service was A+ and the atmosphere nice and relaxed. Only thing we would have changed was having a bread basket with olive oil ... have come to expect that when eating Italian. Just ate with family at the new "Times Square Restaurant" and it was amazing. It is located right by the Scottsdale Airport at 13901 N. 73rd street. Love this hole in the wall location an the food and wine was amazing. If you enjoy red wine their house red is fantastic. Great flavors and huge menu you with portions that will give you a couple of meals afterwards. To say this is highly recommend is an understatement. Fun to go before it is discovered. Just opened. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is cheap!\nFrench toast, 2 eggs, bacon....$4.99 Searching for a place to lunch near my Scottsdale office, I happened upon Times Square. Too heavy for lunch, but made sure to try it for dinner.\n\nThe restaurant is in a very unlikely place--hidden amongst businesses in the Scottsdale Airpark. But the food is fantastic.\n\nOur go-to Italian restaurant has been Uncle Sal's, but Times Square is just as good and isn't as crowded. We've had a variety of dishes and they've all been excellent, and I'm very picky when it comes to Italian. I'm not into the bougie Scottsdale Italian places. I like it how my grandmother made it--authentic and tasty. \n\nThe prices are reasonable and the service is very good. And please, do not pass on dessert. Their cannolis are to die for. If you're too full after dinner--get it to go. |

I thought it was fantastic....I would definitely go again. We were able to try everything except the Duck Laab Congee by Toki Underground and Maketto, they were out when we hit up their stand and wouldn't have any made in a while. The only line we had to wait in was the Raku stand serving up Yakitori, it was near the end of the night so I think patrons were trying to get in their last bites.\nI wasn't a big fan of the Bordeaux wines they served, but all of the other drinks they had were excellent.\nMy top 5 favorites of the night...Coconut Pumpkin Soup by Strip Steak (LV) was incredible. Blackberry Ice Cream Sandwich from Pichet Ong (NYC)....YUM! Open Face Arepa from Fukuburger (LV), we better see that on your truck! Lobster with Melon and Celery with Creme Fresh and Smoked Brioche by Menton (Boston). And the simple yet fresh and delicious Baked Crab Hand Roll by Yellowtail (LV). My husbands favorite was the Grilled Sirloin by Pig and Khao (NYC).\nThere was plenty go around for everyone and we never had to wait long. The majority of the crowd was friendly and polite even with all the booze flowing.\nI can't forget I had the pleasure of meeting Todd English. Bumped into some fellow Yelpers and exchanged notes on which foods to get.\nThe weather was perfect and so was my company. Made for a most excellent night. The event is alright...we did not purchase the VIP tickets so by the time we got there, the lines were long and for the most part the vendors ran out of food. There was no quantity control, which I have mix feelings about because for those who did wait patiently in line didn't get the food. Makes me feel like the vendors were eager to be done with their table so they can walk around and see what other vendors were serving and instead of waiting in line like the rest of the people who paid to attend, they just walked right up and grabbed whatever they wanted. \n\nAgain, the tickets we got were discounted but overall I don't think I would attend again unless there are some reassurance that there will be plenty of food and that each vendors are eager to hurry up and be done with their table. I love the idea and concept but overall, I didn't get to experience it the way I thought it was going to be. The drinks were good but some of the station you had to wait forever...overall, if I was to attend again, it will have to be at a very discounted ticket price or comped. LuckyRice is a great concept. They have many well-known culinary artists serve their signature dishes in one venue. However, the planning for this event is lacking. \n\nWhen you can bear a long line to get a small portion it is very rewarding. However, places like Raku and Bombay had lines extending hundreds of feet! WAY too many people! When you expect an event where for $85 (or $125 VIP) you can eat and drink as much as you want, you don't envision fighting a mob to get to the vendors. Some vendors closed early, so the mobs hoarded those who were still serving...\n\nI loved the foods and drinks I could get, but be prepared to fight for it! Started in New York, LuckyRice is a celebration of what Asian culture does best; street food. With many master chefs on hand, the variety of food in food was endless. Sadly, the same could not be said about quantity. As Jeanette D. has mentioned, many places ran out of food before the designated end time. If most were as lucky as I, you would have had the chance to try a majority of the stalls. There were a few times were I got close to the front and was turned away due to empty reserves, but I did not leave on an empty stomach. \n\nBetween the creativity of the kitchen and bar, it was a pleasant event. With the Groupon, it was well worth it for a taste of what is to come. In the future, if the issue with preparation is dealt with it will be an event worth the price. \n\nThe venue was an excellent selection. The Cosmo pool, with all of the Las Vegas lights, reminded me of walking through the streets of Asia. The beautiful weather that night was perfect for hanging out and the cabanas gave guests plenty of resting areas to lounge on. I look forward to future events. Excellent food tastings, yummy drinks and great venue. They even had a fun little photo booth. Knocking off one star because most vendors ran out of food or drink by 9:30 or 10:00. Given that this was the first year I expect they'll plan better next year...and I'll be back! |

Servers are very friendly and helpful. We ordered the delicious Taste of Italy pizza, we were amazed by the awesome flavors. The owner has nice old photos of him back in the day. He was nice enough to tell us a story. Service like this is hard to find now days. Great place to bring the family. Definitely will back coming back in the future. 5 stars all around. Great family owned and operated business. I love their veggie pizza. Friendly service. Went in on Sunday afternoon. Had a wonderful experience here. Food was very tasty, hot and fresh ingredients were used. The bread was fresh and tasted just right. I had the lasagna which to me was one of the best dishes I have ever had.\nReasonably priced too. Like a taste from the Northeast \n\nI think of myself as a Italian food aficionado (remember I am self proclaiming here) so I have admit I enjoyed a Taste of Italy when I \nvisited. \n\nI think my favorite entr\xc3\xa9e on the menu may have been the Italian Anti Pasta salad. The anti pasta salad is enough for 2 or 3 people, however, the last time I visited a Taste of Italy I literally at the entire anti pasta salad myself.\n\nIn addition, to my salad I ordered the calzone special with pepperoni, sausage,meatball, mushroom , green pepper, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. The calzone was absolutely delicious. The calzone was served with a golden brown crust and stuffed with fresh ingredients. \n\nService at a Taste of Italy is truly great. The staff is very attentive, friendly, and accomdating. Our drinks/water were never empty and the food is reasonably priced and delicious. Nice clean restaurant with delicious food served fast and fresh. \n\nThe pizza tastes just like it did when we were in Brooklyn. \n\nOrder up front and they will bring it to your table. Reasonably priced. \n\nNot just pizza. Several Italian dishes just like Mama's. |

Freshly made laffa stuffed with your choice of many options. Hummus plates! Ultra casual dining. Open late on Sunday nights. The hot tea is fantastic. Authentic comfort food. So happy. Opened not long ago this place has some delicious food. The staff are all very friendly and helpful when you have questions. I'd never heard of pide before ordering it & they convinced me it was good. They weren't wrong! It's like a flatbread pizza and soooo delicious. The food its slightly pricey for what you get but I think worth it. Presentation of food, quality and service are all great so I would rather buy food here than in the food court where its cheaper but they just slap your food into a styrofoam container. The decor is nice as well. Being newly opened everything is shiny and new and neat. 4 stars out of 5\n\nWe've been here quite a few times. Their chicken shish kebab is very moist. Their ground beef pide is quite good as well. Conveniently located at the Centre Point mall right beside Congee Queen.\n\nThe place is nice and quiet. People usually order for take out but there are seats for seating.\n\nThe service is very nice and friendly as the last who serves us there remembers our order from last time.\n\nWould be coming back.\n\nUpdate:\nUpdating review to 3 stars since we last went there yesterday and was disappointed at their chicken shish kebab. It is no longer moist and was dry. They ground beef pide is still good though. I only got to try the beef shwarma because they didn't have chicken shwarma that day. On a hot day the AC wasn't on, although the employees were really nice and the decor was neat and modern. The meat was average in flavour, but was succulent. My friend's chicken kebab was dry. Expensive. They have these cool sparkling juices.. tasty but high in sugar lol. Don't think I'd come back. Place just opened up at Counterpoint mall. Not bad, but I've had a lot better. Service is great, very friendly and a warm environment. They ask you if you need more sauce and are very accommodating. In terms of the laffa, I've had better (i.e. Dr. Laffa). The shawarma plate is huge and definitely shareable...but there's something missing. Not so sure what but it's definitely not on par with Orly's or Dr. Laffa. Not the best but at least they have great service. I really like good food though so unfortunately I'm giving it a 3/5 as it needs improvement on quality food and flavour. |

Came here last night as the place I really wanted was closed for the day. Coincidence that it was on 4/20 and you close up shop for realz?? Anywho!!\n\nThis is a nice sit down restaurant with take out like most Chinese places inside an Albertson's shopping center. Seems like a lot of locals come here when you are in the area but not really something to go out of your way for specifically.\n\nThey have a nice lunch special that is reasonable for it's cost although and here is the bad part. They are extremely Americanized Chinese heavy on the Chop Suey. There is nothing wrong with it if that is what you like when you want it. I do seem to prefer a bit more authentic when it comes to me dishes of course but overall, not bad and if I am in the area, I would try to dine in instead of taking it home. Just left the restaurant. If I could give it less than a one star I would. Simply it sucks, big time. The Hot and Sour soup was absolutely the worst I have ever had anywhere on 3 continents! Cross this one off your list. \n\nOnly 5 people in the restaurant and the cook was hanging out at the check stand. The right side of the restaurant was used to store carry out bags and boxes.\n\nAVOID at all costs!\n\nDO NOT CONFUSE the trash of 'Great China' with the Original GRAND CHINA restaurant which was and still is great. They relocated to Farm/Durango and still are terrific. Very small quiet restaurant but honestly it's like a hidden gem. You can't beat the lunch special, you get so much food for the price and it's delicious every time. Probably the best chow mein I've ever had. Watch out for a blonde lady that will probably write a terrible review. I was observing her childish behavior while trying to enjoy lunch with my parents today. She was yelling and demanding free items and threatening the manager to go somewhere else that gives her free things down the street (she was only ordering three things and an appetizer). The manager agreed to give her something free and she still wasn't happy. She then accused the manager of charging her too much and was talking to him like a three year old. The male that was with her said nothing and did nothing but stare at her causing a scene. What a pansy! \n\nThis place is great! \n\nThe food is delicious, the service is great, and the lunch special is a lot of food for a cheap price! ($5-7). It's even available on weekends until 4pm.\n\nThe place is very clean, despite the sort of tacky turquoise casino theme on the booths. \n\nI come here often with my mom and we always order the Kung pao chicken and the cashew chicken lunch specials. I order the cashew chicken spicy or ask for the chile sauce on the side. The hot and sour soup and egg drop soup are both delicious, but are a bit thick (gelatinous), most likely from a cornstarch thickener or whatever they use. The lunch special entrees are about half protein and half vegetables (which I like), and the Mongolian beef is just beef, white onions, and scallions. All lunch specials come with fried rice or chow mein, a cup of egg flower or hot and sour soup, and a spring roll.\n\nI will definitely keep returning, and hope that they continue to provide delicious cheap Chinese food. |

What happened to Sumo? My husband and I came on a Friday evening and the signs were gone. This place has always been our favorite sushi place to go to. We are extremely sad. Incredible sauces made up the the chefs. Always a great place to go. The kiri and rolls are unique and very good. Staff is always great. Sushi was amazing! Good prices for the quality of food you receive. All you can eat deal is the way to go. Sit at the sushi bar, it's more fun! Worst service ever. The waiter ran away from us, as we were speaking, multiple times. The female waitress yells instead of speaking normally. Food was well prepared, but we waited 50 minutes to receive our first appetizer. Was really dissapointed, will not be returning....EVER. If you are in to quality and Nigiri this is the spot! On fridays they get the rare and live stuff too. If you are a real sushi nut like me you gotta try this spot well worth the money. Beto gives great service, I plan on going here real soon again :) |

I\'ve driven by for so many years. Heard good things, but finally took the plunge a few weeks ago.\n\nI went straight for the wonton soup, just the "queen" size as the king looked massive. The soup is a good size for the money you\'re spending. I wouldn\'t say it was anything above and beyond wonton soups I\'ve had before. But it hit the spot. I went for lunch & had the King size wor won ton soup & ordered dumplings on the side. They only have small black plastic spoons to eat your soup so I grabbed a plastic fork to help pick up the noodle & wontons from my bowl. The service was slow (15 minute wait time) and was so disappointed as the soup had very little flavour, hardly any noodles, and the few wontons were bland. I won't be back. Not worth it. \n\n\nWhen I can in I ordered a large king bowl near $11. The soup it self wasn't worth the price. To many vegetable. Small amount of meat. No seafood. Wontons were small and small amount. Broth was very weak. NO FALVOUR.\n\n\nWhat even made me more upset is they put flavourless noddles. These flavourless noodles took up %40 of the dish and had no taste. I guess they are trying to be extremely greedy and cheap. Don't go there.\n\n\n\n\n\nUpdate. Got sick couple hours later Big line up but I was not impressed. Soup was ok, pork flavor only, carrots hard, broccoli pieces to big for one bite. Wonton big with lots of pork. Appetizer plate ok if you like deep fried gyoza, deep fried spring rolls and deep fried wontons. I don't \n\nOne of my rolls appeared to have one bite gone!!!!!!!!\n\nI ripped the others in 2 and ate the soup, so so |

Highly recommend this place. \nThx \nDR MD This was an amazing dining experience and the most romantic date I've been on. \n\nWe dined here for valentines day and everything was amazing. The steak was the best I ever had and the chocolate cheesecake was delicious. It was very costly but very much worth it. \n\nWe will definitely be back Fantastic service and great food. We got the specials, an appetizer and a bottle of wine though so it was a bit pricey. $120 for 2 people. It can be more reasonable if you don't splurge though. Recommend. Salmon and a chicken pasta dish and mussels. Excellent spicy sauce. Live music was good. Clean. Recommend. \nOnly reason not 5 stars is I got mussels and calamari. There were about 12 mussels (A+) but about 3 smallish pieces of calamari. Love this gem in a tucked away location. My English teacher recommended this place and I can see why this place is one of his favorites. Great food, great service at affordable prices. The chicken parm was excellent. Best wedding soup. Steak salad was a winner as well. |

(A good indicator) so we came here seeing a full parking lot. (Generally a good sign)\nWe ordered and my daughters meal came rather fast. Then we waited, and waited.... then after 40 min. we got the hot plates but no toppings, and then had to get up and ask for our tortillas. \nGot checked on once and had to get up to get our bill and pay. \nThe food was good, big portions. I didnt care for either of their salsa.\nI would say... skip this one. This is my favorite restaurant in South Carolina, and one of my favorites of all time! The staff are incredibly sweet, and the food has never been less than delicious. I came to El Cancun weekly for years since childhood, and when I come home from NYC I always make a point to stop back in. The chicken soup is amazing - also the fried ice cream is great. This place is horrible and I know my Mexican food. The only thing good I can say about this place is that the waiter was very nice. \nThe beans were watered down, meat over cooked, and margaritas obviously made from a mix. \nI don't like giving such a bad review to anything but how do you screw up beans?! El Cancun has officially made my list of great places to eat. I ordered the guacamole (where I had a choice of chunky or smooth), which was very fresh and delicious! My main dish was the pollo fundido - which was also amazing! Service was excellent too! I have to say this is our folks favorite Mexican restaurant when we are in this area. We , as well as our folks who live here, love coming here . The food is always delicious. The shrimp fajitas are the absolute best I've ever had. And the beer specials make you want to have more than one. The employees are always very very nice , friendly , and welcoming. Except for...... and now for the bad part...... Except for one Spanish speaking female employee. (Omitting the name to save embarrassment; you're welcome). She's not very friendly is putting it mildly. She hates to be helpful and lets you feel it. And being nice seems to be a skill that alludes her. We try to overlook her, and always get other waiters . We have never been anything but nice to her. She still refuses to be anything but rude , ignoring our requests for items , and even slamming the food down upon delivery to the table. We try to not let this deter us from going or ruining our experiences here. It's just one employee and we'll just continue to write it off as if she's having a bad day and avoid her table. Ok, A lot of bad days....\nOverall everything else is great. Would have been a 5 star rating but sorry to say I have to subtract on her account. It's truly sad that such a nice establishment is brought down by a employee with a constant chip on her shoulder. |

Lunch was good a bit pricey but very good. Wait staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant is new but definitely worth checking out We were running an errand and stopped here for a bite to eat after work. Hands down the BEST Mexican food in Matthews and the best I've had in Charlotte! The portions are great and the food is full of flavor and quality. The chiles rellenos were really good and the fajitas were absolutely delicious. So glad we found this place and we will definitely be back! By far the absolute worst service ever! An hour wait for food. Chips lacked salt, salsa was bland and the iced tea was warm. No drink refills and no apologies when we finally demanded to go boxes. Terrible, terrible food and completely overpriced. Yuck. Just yuck. So disappointing. I really wanted to like this place. It has good reviews and is close to home. Unfortunately, I stopped in on a Wednesday around 6pm looking to try their margaritas and get some food to go. Sat at the bar, waitress brought chip n salad right away and they were good, although then salsa was watery. Waited for another 10 minutes as more diners filtered in. Nobody asked us if we wanted a drink or anything. The one girl working (is that even possible?) was in the back and putting to go orders together most of the time I was there. I ended up leaving without trying anything and wanted to post a review so the owners might see it and add more staff. Hate to give a low rating but...? Will try again and update this review. I really hope you guys can get it together. Really yummy homestyle Mexican. Ordered take-out (enchildas verdes and oaxaca ) and they were just delicious. Can't wait to eat-in and try their margaritas! |

The entrance is in an alleyway and it's a bit sketch, but don't let that turn you off. The interior of the restaurant is pretty modern and trendy and seemed like a good place for a sitdown with friends, but I had takeout so I didn't get to experience it.\n\nThe place is basically a noodle / stir fry joint - think Thai Express. You select your protein, noodles, sauce, herbs, and any additional toppings or items. I went with the chicken hokkien noodles on spicy thai sauce with all the herbs. The dish was definitely a step up above food court meals with the tender chicken well grilled and overall package delicious. However I will admit that it was a bit salty for my tastes and for the price ($14), the portion size wasn't anything special.\n\nI would definitely come back once in awhile with some friends (they're now open later to 9PM!), but it's nothing I'd go out of my way for. A good option for ordering delivery for a lot of people in the financial district. The food is okay, the price is reasonable and the service is good. Was starving when I came here but really wasn't feeling stir fry. After ordering my flat rice noodle with vegetables in tom yum soup (with every topping except black pepper), I took a glance around the store and regretted not ordering stir fry. The portions appear to be so much larger!!\n\nOverall, the taste was such and delicious, though I was somewhat disappointed by the all portion of veggies they gave me in my soup noodles. Will definitely order stir fry next time! Ha.. yeah, 5 stars. I do love it here. \n\nI work 1 minute away. It is on Temperance street, you have to go onto this street. It\'s right across an alleyway. I come here for lunch and perhaps dinner. Hours on a weekday: 11am - 7pm\n\nTheir busiest time: 12 to 12:30 office lunchtime.\n\nSweet Lulu is a cozy, little, bright yellow, and very cute Thai fast-food restaurant. You begin by selecting your meat (or no meat), then your soup base or stir fry flavor, your noodle, your herbs/toppings, and then they will ask if you\'d like a drink. This is under the main menu "Design Your Dish."\n\nSides you can get are spring rolls, edamame, satay meats, soups... \n\nIf you are only going for the main dishes (like I usually do), expect to pay about $10-15. Typical downtown lunch prices anyways, right?\n\nYou can sit in or you can get takeout -whichever you choose, you only need to pay for food. Tips are welcomed.\n\nService -fast. Cleanliness -quite. Size of dish -large. Phone reception -not so good.\n\nI love their Tom Yum soup and pad thai. Tom Yum soup is a famous and traditional Thai soup. It\'s spicy and sour, and it\'s very delicious. You would have to like spicy Asian foods (plural) to like this one. But I do recommend. Also it\'s not very spicy here.\n\nFYI: The beef tom yum is more flavorful than the seafood. Unfortunately this is a hit and miss here. Sometimes the beef soup isn\'t so flavorful. I am still deciding on a favorite... I always end up finishing the soup in my noodle soup dish. It\'s so yummmm! I\'ve been back to this place a few times now (this is right near my work) and either they read this article or otherwise wised up on some things. If you say "vegan" they actually know what that means and have special sauces to accommodate. While much of their selection is not on my diet these days (oil = fat), I\'m happy to recommend this venue to visiting colleagues now, just don\'t go to sit and eat when it\'s busy (it\'s LOUD). |

It's a nice friendly little diner located in a small shopping mall complex on the corner of East Trop and Pecos. It was a little hard to find upon my first drive through the parking lot. \n\nPlace has about 7 4-top tables and a counter area. I imagine it can get filled up quickly, although on a Thursday at 11:45am it wasn't too bad, just 4 tables in use.It's nothing super fancy, just a good old fashioned diner style place. Tables are all stainless steel topped, and everything was pretty clean, including the restroom.\n\nI ordered the Pile Up, which is hash browns, covered in sausage gravy, with bacon on top of that, and two eggs on top of that. Served with 2 halves a slice of toast. First the good....sausage gravy is homemade and I thought it was delicious! I would definitely come back for biscuits and this gravy anytime. The whole meal was very tasty.\nThe bad would be it was a little small, because I'm not a big eater and I finished this quickly and was still a touch hungry. $7.25 was the price. The bad and maybe what would really make this worth it is the toast. Very small slices, and just average bread. I don't know if they make it or its delivered, but I would recommend some larger slices or double up the amount. I do like my toast, and this was a little disappointing. \n\nOverall, I liked the place, and I saw a few items to go back and try, including Kalbi short ribs and eggs for $10.95 and the Seoul Burger. Its a nice mom and pop style place with friendly people who are always busy. They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner so that's a long day! I wish them great success. The look of the restaurant put me off a little but once I had a bite of their Seoul burger i new i had to make this place one of my usuals and the staff is so nice and friendly. stopped in there while waiting for my car to have a oil change down the street.\nthis was a great choice! I ordered the Seoul burger it came with home made chips\nthe burger had some interesting flavors to it. the service was great (kept my diet cola filled) the people were all nice. I will be back again This place is my HANDS DOWN favorite place for breakfast in Vegas and possibly the world....nearly everything is made from scratch. The flavor is out of sight and the couple that owns and operates this hole in the wall are just awesome people!! \n\nIf you haven't been here GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!!! Met up for another breakfast with Michael U. and Norm K. here. Figures that I'd need people from Summerlin to convince me to try a place just 10 minutes from where I live.\n\nGot a little lost in the parking lot somehow. Finally realized that Kailyn's Diner is in the same structure as Taco y Taco, just a few doors down. Walked in and saw my mealmates already seated. Also noticed some people who I figured were chef Robert, wife Carolyn, and Kailyn herself. \n\nAfter looking at the menu, we deferred to Michael for ordering stuff. I could've sat there for much longer just wrestling with the choices. As expected, the order took an overall carb-friendly tone.\n\nBiscuits _without_ gravy ($1.95?) were my first taste. They're light and a little buttery, not heavy at all. They would probably go well with gravy. I'll have to try that if I go again.\n\nHigh Roller Tots ($7.95) were next. Tater tots were balanced, cheese and green onions were nice, but that bulgogi was the star of the show. Tender, juicy, and plentiful chunks (not slices) of marinated beef. Definite recommendation.\n\nMoved on to Blueberry Pancakes ($5.95 stack of 3). Fluffy pancakes, actual blueberries, a nice pat of what I assume is honey butter, and syrup. I can't see pancake eaters not being happy with this.\n\nStrawberry stuffed french toast ($8.90? judging from receipt) was the last non-dessert item that I had. Good crunchy bread, nice whipped cream, strawberry butter, strawberry syrup, and some presumably macerated strawberries. Probably made my taste buds happier overall than the pancakes.\n\nDeep Fried Cookie Dough ($2.95, 3 pieces) came out hot, as Carolyn warned us. Turns out that there's chewy bacon in the middle of the gooey chocolate chip dough. Batter could be heavy for some, but bacon bias led me to enjoy it overall.\n\nPumpkin Bread Pudding ($3.95) was truly a case of saving the best for last. Warm, soft while not mushy, and pumpkin-flavored while not over-spiced. Not too sweet even with the whipped cream and syrup.\n\nI'm a little disappointed to hear that they may be going out of business by New Year's Day if business doesn't pick up. The food that I had was delicious (and I still need to try that candied bacon) and well-portioned, and the owners seem nice. It looked fairly busy today, so it must be on the weekdays where they could use help. I can see how they might not get people because of their location, but it's at least worth a trip if you don't live nearby. |

Found myself in area with some time to kill and was hungry so gave this place a try...heard about it and walked by it but had never been in. Diner style with booths and stainless steel counter and stools, classic diner updated. Given the omnipresence of tv screens in bars/restaurants these days was surprised i didn't see any. Menu was usual comfort food items. I had the Mac n Cheese. Service was ok, food good. The Mac n Cheese was tasty and steaming hot, came with garlic toast on the side.\n\nI would come back here again, food and ambience (west Queen west hipster vibe, music was indie rock courtesy Sirius XM) was good, just what I needed on a cold night. Being a comfort food junkie and loving the whole diner thing - I find "Shanghai Cowgirl" delivers both is spades. Everything from the tasty Jagermeister mousse to the classic rueben sandwich just seems to hit the spot with me.\n\nThe staff is cheerful and friendly, the room bright and airy and have I mentioned the backyard patio? The patio is one of my favorite summer haunts.\n\nWith a name like "Shanghai Cowgirl", how could one not just luv it? I went here for all-day breakfast this past Sunday. I was quite surprised by this place. It has a great (and unexpected patio) in the back complete with booth seating and other free floating tables. It was a great place to catch some sun while mowing down our overly delicious food. \n\nI'm not sure if this is a regular part of the menu, but if its not it should be. Egg's Benedict with smoked salmon. The only way to describe it was as absolutely kick-ass. I'm definitely looking to have it again. Hopefully that doesn't inspire them to jack up the price. It was a great meal at $11.25.\n\nGo eat it! I only go there once a year for their NYE Pajama Brunch Party, it's a lot of fun! The food, you know, it's the greasy spoon type... |

Top 3 in Pittsburgh. Their pizzas r so packed with viggies and meats. They dont skimp on any part of preparation. Whenever i have events and ppl wanna eat from the best pizza shop in penn hills i always order from here. I would reccomend them to anyone in the area. The food is perfect. I love their wings simply because they're baked- these guys are making a bold move doing this and in a Pittsburgh full of pizza shops with basic menus it's a bold step; although their calzones are small they're the 3rd best I've had in the city. Mediocre pizza at best. The cheese was low quality and had a bad taste to it. We ordered chick tenders and fries and both were burnt. I appreciate that they were baked and not fried but they tasted awful. Very disappointed!! We ordered a pizza this afternoon. I ordered a large pizza, 1/4 cheese & 3/4 pepperoni. When my husband arrived home with the pizza & we opened the box :-(\nPizza was burnt & there was pepperoni on only 2 slices, not 3/4 of the pizza as ordered. When we called them they were very unaccommodating!! Gave us 2 options: Drive back (wasting gas money) and get another pizza OR give us a pizza credit! I asked if we could return pizza & get a refund. They said "No it\'s not in our policy to give money back." Really hoping to get our money back to get pizza elsewhere, as their policy was ridiculous and lack customer service. WOW Tonight was reallllllly BAD. Ordered 2 pizzas, what a total MESS. Pizzas arrived, I noticed boxes were both soaked thru with grease......opened them......clearly they had been dropped or something......the cheese was all over the lid, pooled into a huge mess in one end of box, all the pepperoni in a clump at one end, rest of pizza absent of cheese and pepperoni.....but......I decided to just scoop it over the pizza and 'fix it'.....when taking it out of box, realized it wasn't cut clear thru either, then realized the crust was paper thin, soaked in grease......just totally disgusting. Both pizzas were the same. Breadsticks were under done as well, pale light, greasy, doughy......this is the one time I actually would call and demand a refund.....but the person who took order sounded rushed and I'm just not even going any further with this review......except to say: I'm no longer a customer of this business.....I'm done.....it was THAT bad.... I will never order from this place again. |

My boyfriend ordered a hookah (I have never tried it before so I was excited to try) and we watched multiple tables who had sat down after us receive their pipes. We ordered tea and a drink, that arrived, but our food and our pope had still not arrived. We cancelled the order for both after waiting for such a long time. Neither the server nor manager apologized, just let us pay for the drinks and walk out. Absolutely appalling service and I would never go back. I have worked in the restaurant and bar industry for a long time and every contact I have that has mentioned it has heard my story. Wonderful food and terrible management. It's a perfect representation of the middle-east, minus the bloodshed of course!\n\nThe waitress was totally drunk which I found quite funny. The irony of a drunk blond under the scripture-like Arabic text was not lost on me. \n\nWe waited forever for our food but I was very happy after the first bite. Their skewered meats are slightly on the over-cooked side but authentic nevertheless. \n\nI'll order their food if they deliver but I won't go back. Visited this place twice. The food was exceptionally good however the service was terrible. On our first visit we requested plain rice instead of coconut and the server said no problem, second visit the sever said we only have coconut rice and we dont make plain rice ever even though several of their dishes are served with plain rice.. The second time we were also told that they lost there liquor license. Music sucked and the entire time ghetto Mexican tunes were played, when we requested a more middle eastern feeling music they laughed and turned up the crap music . Over all disappointed as the food was amazing. I went here for lunch with my coworkers. Other than us, there were two other tables, so we assumed service should be decent.. We were wrong.\n\nOur server was incredibly slow doing everything. We watched one table try to pay, and the poor woman was at the counter for 5 to 10 minutes while the guy tried to figure out the debit machine. Perhaps it was down, so I can't 100% sure blame it on him. However, when we wanted to order, despite us having our menus in a pile he sat behind his bar and just chilled out. It took him another 5-10 minutes to pour 3 waters and 2 iced teas, and throughout our time there he never came around to check how things were, despite having time to sit at a table and smoke shisha. The plus side is he was very nice, and he immediately turned down the music when we asked.\n\nHowever, when our food came, my friend and I had ordered tabouleh salad with our wraps. They wound up coming out with Greek salad. When my friend said 'This doesn't look like tabouleh' he assured us that our romaine lettuce with tomatoes was actually tabouleh. She had to speak up again to get the salads taken back and replaced with what we ordered. We also had to ask two different people to bring us cutlery.\n\nAs for the food itself, all my coworkers enjoyed it, but I didn't. I thought the tabouleh was too lemony - half the bowl it came in was filled with lemon juice. Also, the falafel itself was incredibly crunchy, to the point where it was like chewing on large grains of sand. I perfer mine a bit more smooth. The wrap it came in had obviously been sitting on the grill for too long, because it was like trying to bite through plastic. That being said, other than the chewy wraps my coworkers did like their food, so it is probably just an issue of preference.\n\nI will never go back here, and I would not recommend the restaurant to anyone else. However, it may still have promise as a shisha bar. Best Place EVER !!!!!!! \nGreat atmosphere, food, music, variety of drinks and sheesha. \nAwesome location too. Marda Loop's best spot hands down. The space is beautiful, clean and friendly. Been there over a dozen times and always had great service and warm welcome. On busy nights they will make sure to help you find a table, never had to wait long to accommodate me even when it's packed. Love love love this place. Everyone should check it out. |

You will need to cook your own food. They have a small selection of meats but their short ribs are good. They have salmon as well which are always nice to cook on the grill. They have pineapples, zucchini, green peppers as well. They include sushi as well but not a large selection. They put lots of rice to make you really full. We like to come on the weekends(Fri-Sun) since they have Salmon, shrimp and more sushi. Weekdays you don't get as much selection. Try their cold noodles. It's nice to go with the hot food you are cooking. Of course ice cream is a great way to end the dinner.\n\nThis place fills up quickly. Be sure to make a reservation if you go on the weekend. The place is ok... We've been lucky to have a good server the few times we've been here... \n\nThe food is standard Korean BBQ (beef,chicken,seafood,veggies, shortribs).... but I don't get why the short ribs take forever to cook.. and I mean forever!!!! Whenever we come here with friends our order usually consists of beef and short ribs sometimes seafood... but you're waiting forever for the short ribs....\n\nMy main issue with this place is the ventilation!!!! fix the ventilation in that restaurant PLEASE!!! Other Korean bbq places don't have this issue, On Saturday I had smoke coming from two grills all towards me... I couldn't stop tearing.\n\nIt's good from time to time but I prefer Grill House across the street. My friends brought me to this Korean Barbecue for dinner. Monday's business was good, but not as good in the weekends. Beef and pork with bones here were good, but as the price was based on head count, so the dining room is restricted or the waiter will only change the cooking net once. They say the place used to do it twice. So the business must be good. However the service is a bit lousy. This Chako in Richmond Hill - SUCKS. The Service is sooooo horrible, I don't understand how! We came here for dinner after doing an escape room in Markham on Woodbine. All of us were really hungry and didn't want to drive too far. \n\nWalked right in, it was nice to be seated right away. Our server, had a note pad and he was super weird. He came and put some side dishes on table and then looked at us and waited for us to order. We didn't want to put our order for our food yet but wanted to take our drink orders- okay.... One ginger ale, one wine, one green tea and one water. Guy comes back with two ginger ale and keeps looking at us like we're wrong. We didn't order the second ginger ale. The guy HAD a NOTE PAD and how did he already mess up our drink order?? \n\nWhen we wanted to order the food, we wanted three trays of everything. We were a group of seven adults, they brought 2 of half the amount of things listed. Sign. We wanted extra bean sprouts and kimchi, they brought only one dish, same small portion. They honestly look like they are super busy but they are not really doing anything. They're just moving so fast to avoid being a good server. \n\nWe ordered sushi and someone's HAIR was in it. Not ours because the hair was looped into the roll. Disgusting! And they took forever bringing our new order and refilling our water. It's an all you can eat buffet with US already doing the hard part-cooking our food. The least that they could have done was keep up on our drinks and food order. \n\nAdvice for the servers, if you really hate your job as a server, get a new job! Happier servers make better tips! \n\nTIP: If you have an extra 20 minutes, BEST TO DRIVE to the Chako in Scarborough on McNiccol. It is 10 time better- I SWEAR. The food is better. The SERVICE IS BETTER. The WAITERS and WAITRESS IS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER in every way. Seriously. Just drive to Scarborough. A group of friends and I went last night for late night eats, we were given quick service for our table which was great. Unfortunately throughout the meal the more my group of 10 guests ordered, the lower quality service we received. \n\nService is not good at this location for every reason you can think of. Bad attitude is a big one.\n\nThe ventilation was horrible, one of my friends needed his puffer during his meal from the intense smoke inside the restaurant. The smoke gets into your hair, pores, and eyes. Your clothes will smell like meat after which is common. \n\nIf you can commute to the Scarborough location, definitely do it, it's worth the 20 minute drive. |

Good portions for half of the price! \nGet their wings, or their steak burrito. Big Azz Margaritas with a lot of alcohol content for $7\n\nThe parking is not the easiest to find. But you can also take a bus. The place is loud and crowded so you have to have the patience. The food quality and the price makes it all worth it. Mad Mex has my favorite food and drinks out of all of the Mexican chain restaurants in Pittsburgh, and you can get a great deal during happy hour. I was most recently at the Oakland location with a friend for happy hour. I ordered a frozen Sangria Blur margarita, which is a nice balance of sour, sweet, and salty. Wings are 1/2 off during happy hour, so I got a small order of Southwestern wings, which are dressed with cilantro, olive oil, lime and garlic. I was full, a little buzzed, and my bill totaled to about $10.\n\nThis location is dark, loud, and tables are really cramped. It's great for students who live in Oakland, but I'd recommend going to another location, like Shadyside, if you'd prefer a brighter and more spacious environment. Big portions of food but very loud and crowded. I can barely have a conversation here!\n\nVery dimly lit, i would say this place would not be ideal for a date but more like a drunken gathering with lots of margaritas! Late night half off was great! Besides having to wait 20 minutes to get a table, I overall liked my visit. \n\nThe portions are huge for the value. Would not have gone if it wasn't half off though. I shared the nachos with steak between three other people, and that was really good and cheesy. For myself I got the chicken chimi. The accents of lime (in a friend's enchilada) and the seasoning on the chicken chimi were appreciated. I'll definitely want to come back on another night to try other things on their menu. \n\nAlso, on a last note, we'd asked the waitress about the portions, and compared to all the other items, the quesadillas were the smallest portions. Very good burritos and margaritas. Wife had kale and roasted corn salad and she said it was good. Stopped by with friends. Very loud and happening place. Quick, polite service. Will stop there again when in Pittsburgh. |

How do you mess up potatoes? The chicken fried steak was gross. The home fries or whatever they were were gross. The coffee was gross. The hot chocolate was overly sweet. I mean, I've never had such subpar food ever.\n\nDon't eat here. Go to the Peppermill next door. Hell, go to McDonald's if you have to. This place is not worth a cent. First when you walk-in you think you walked in to a giant Hot Dog on a Stick. The seats are red, yellow, blue and white.\n\nThe food is okay but overpriced for the quality. We ordered 3 soups and 3 different entrees. Corned Beef Hash and eggs, Pork Chop Dinner, and 1/2 Roasted Chicken dinner. The corned beef hash was good but SUPER salty, the pork chops were dry as hellll and super duper bland, the half roasted chicken was juicy but bland. \n\nThe only good thing about the meal was the free water, the soup, and their dinner rolls. \n\nIf you're hungry and staying at the Riviera, just go the extra mile and go across the street to McDonalds or Subway or the Pizza Place...it's much better bang for your buck. I swear! =) We sat at the counter because we were in a hurry. No one gave us a menu, waters, or took our order for 20 minutes. One waiter noticed us and said he didn\'t know where the counter woman had gone. We were about to walk out when she finally appeared.\n\nThe restaurant had to stop seating people to recover from the total meltdown that was happening. All the servers were saying "It isn\'t even busy, but everyone is freaking out."\n\nThe white part of my husband\'s eggs were runny. Go to the Peppermill or Denny\'s nearby instead. went here the first night we got into vegas and were staying at the riviera. we were just looking for food, and they were open without a huge line so we decided to stop in. the night we went in they were having a slab of rib special, so we got a slab of ribs, with fries and a side for like $8. the ribs tasted really good, sauce was good too, honestly, they reminded me a lot of tony romas. servers were friendly. i would stop by again if i was in the riviera, but i wouldn't go out of my way to head down there What a world we live in! A coffee shop serving just about anything from a traditional American menu 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is just a short elevator ride away. Kady's is located inside the Riviera. If you're staying on the north side of The Strip, it might be a good place for breakfast.\n\nI stopped by Kady's around 8:00 am on Sunday, and the place was pretty busy. Seriously, who is up at 8 am on a Sunday in Vegas except old ladies and degenerate gamblers? Well, add a screaming child, a lonely trucker and yours truly, and you will get a pretty good picture of what the clientele was like at Kady's at that particular time.\n\nThe place is very spacious, with tables and vinyl red and green booths far away from each other. If it weren't for the view of the pool and the keno runners, you would think that you were at a diner in Anytown, USA.\n\nThe waitress brought me coffee in a giant mug, which put me in a better mood right away. Give me a 12-16 oz. cup of coffee, and I'll leave you alone for a few minutes. I hate diners where they give you some cup that 7-year-old girls use to serve imaginary tea to their dolls. It's 8 am, I am awake and grumpy, so the more coffee you give me, the better.\n\nI ordered a ham steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns and wheat toast with a short stack of pancakes. What? I was on vacation, give me a break. The ham steak deserves its own review. This may have been the best ham steak I have ever had! Juicy, perfectly cooked with just a hint of mesquite flavor. I can still taste it now! Do yourself a favor an order one of those. The hash browns were a bit oily, though. The short stack of pancakes is big enough to share with someone, since each pancake is the size of an average Barbie's Dream House (I bet you didn't think I could continue with the whole doll theme, but here we are).\n\nIt was a good breakfast, but $21+tip is a bit pricey. Times are tough, and every $25 breakfast makes me think that a good ol' Denny's Grand Slam might not be such a bad option . . . |

Service was prompt and courteous and we were perfectly accommodated with little ice in my cup and extra ice in her's. The shrimp tempura roll was fantastic and should not be passed up. I stopped in to Sakkio recently for lunch. Teriyaki chicken was the deal of the day - $5.99 for chicken and rice. When you add veggies, which I did, apparently, the price goes up to $6.49. It was still worth it, however. There was a long line as the cook prepared the chicken. It took approximately 10 minutes to receive the food, but it was hot, fresh, and tasty!\n\nThey cook the chicken right in front of you. I guess that is why a lot of people eat here. The other similar eateries in the Galleria cook the food in the back where you can't see it. At first, it doesn't look like chicken because it gets scooped up out of a bucket in a ball of mush, but once it's cooked, it resembles the dark chicken parts that you're used to. I would imagine that A) some people would never eat here to begin with, and B) if they saw the chicken scooped from the bucket and splattered on the grill like I did, some people would probably walk away. It looked more like scrambled brains at the beginning of the process, but I assure you, by the end of the cooking process, it really looked and tasted like chicken!\n\nI would definitely eat here again. This was actually my second time here. I stopped in for lunch yesterday and it was so good I came back!! Definitely recommend the chicken Teriyaki Bento box! A little bit of everything and perfect portion sizes! The food comes out fast and is hot and incredibly delicious!! I went here today for lunch BIG mistake. I ordered chicken terriyaki and a medium lemonade with no ice. The cashier gave me my drink with ice and I promptly asked for it without ice. The cashier then mumbled something that sounded like I didn't say with out ice. So I gave him back the drink and he went to fill my drink order correctly. As I began to wait a few minutes for him to hand me my drink his coworkers began to tell me that my order was ready on the other side of their line. So I began to ask the cashier for my drink...still no drink from that point I begin to ask for my money to be refunded. As I received my money back I noticed that the cashier was making sushi for another customer. It would have been more appropraite if he had asked another coworker to finish with me versus leaving me standing there. I then asked who the manager was and was told it was the cashier. Its pretty sad when an establishment lacks as far as customer service and the manager is the biggest culprit. I can't even imagine how much chicken this place goes through in a week.\n\nAnyway, the chicken teriyaki is great. They marinate their chicken and have a tasty balanced sauce that goes on top. I think it's only like $6 for a plate which is plenty for one person.\n\nSometimes they're a little inconsistent with portions and cooked-ness. They cook the chicken in large amounts at a time, and when it's done they keep it on the grill so I think sometimes some of it gets overcooked.\n\nI can't speak for the other things on the menu, but I probably wouldn't get anything except the teriyaki. |

I have seen the place a couple of times and thought it might be good to try this place, because I really enjoyed this type of noodle when I was working in China. \n\nI ordered the 12-topping noodle, with the tomato broth and it was good, but the amount of toppings was pretty small. What they did have, was ok. I will say, I did stumble upon a piece of plastic wrapper in one of the toppings, not a big deal, but it lowered my impression for sure. The soup was hot and cooked the toppings properly. Overall, the taste was pretty good. The toppings were also pretty fresh.\n\nThe cost is a little pricy. That being said, when I was working in China, this was a pricier meal too. That being said, you're paying more for the experience than the actual food here. There are plenty of other noodle places that offer much better value.\n\nThe decor is really clean, but to me it doesn't really fit the style of food. On the bridge noodle, to me, is supposed to be a type of comfort food. The atmosphere is almost hipster, with all the little cute things\n\nThe service here was good, there is only one person serving, but the restaurant is small enough that it's not an issue\n\nThe place is very clean, maybe due to being new, but they look to be quite thorough when you watch them. \n\nAn interesting style of noodles if you've never tried it before, but not on the top of my list of places I'd recommend. This place really doesn't deserve the 2/5 stars it currently has. \nI brought my friends in for lunch on a weekday, and looked it up on yelp. The 2 stars nearly made me bolt for the doors. \n\nThe decor is definitely the strong point, with cute bowls and plating (we had a toast-shaped coaster with a happy face!), and my inner pinterest nerd was obsessing over every detail.\n\nWith decor like that, it was a high bar for the food to live up to the expectation. And it didn't. But it wasn't THAT far off! For $13 (all in), I had the Classic 12-topping noodle with tomato soup. The broth was savoury, but a bit thin and bland. The variety of toppings really helped with flavour, and the hot soup was perfect on a cold day. Plus, I could choose to portion my noodles (I ate half the bowl so didn't walk out bloated - as I tend to do at other noodle shops).\n\nMy friend were impressed with the food, presentation and price point. Would definitely come back for lunch. What makes this restaurant interesting is that everything is laid out and you can make your own noodles. However, this is also their downfall... (my boyfriend doesn't like to have to make his own food when you're going to a restaurant)\n\nI ordered the original broth with classic 12 toppings. You're presented with your platter of toppings (all very small amounts, but enough), a bowl of noodles, and a pot of broth which sits on a cute trivet shaped like a toast. They instruct you to put the egg and beef slices into the broth, cover and let sit for 1 min before putting your other toppings in. The toppings are chilled (not fridge cold) and the noodles were nuked, so by the time I had all my toppings and noodles in the pot of broth, my pot of food wasn't hot to my liking any more.\n\nTaste-wise, it was good. Their selection of toppings were good but I've had better bowls of noodle that I didn't have to make myself at a restaurant. First time here, I don't find it as bad as the previous reviews TBH. Arrived around 8pm, there were 3/ 6 tables. There are customers, just not a lot. Restaurant is small and can only seat about 15-20 people max. I didn't ask for the use of the bathroom, but I did not see one during the time I sat there for dinner.\n\n*Yunnan cross bridge noodle is suppose to be like this with 2 piece of meat and variety of different types of vegetables. Be understanding to the dish itself and the background before you make yourself sound so uneducated or inexperienced!!* \n\nI think it comes with normal amount of variety of vegetables. In fact, it comes with 2 quail eggs when most places only comes with 1. I find it filling. \n\nSoup- NOT hot enough, quail eggs were only cooked till poached level and my beef was like blue rare-ish even though I put those in first and stick them at the bottom. \n- soup was blend imo, not really to my liking. Yet I only tried the tomato soup base. My partner had beef brisket noodle and was meh. It wasn't bad with taste.. just that we had better ones... and there are better ones around the corner or near the restaurant. \n\nPrice- quite pricey ($3-5 dollars difference) in terms of cross bridge noodles, and given the fact in that area along with other competitors, I can see why customer level was limited. \n\nNot my #1 place to go to, and not something I would crave for that I must come to this location for this type of food or kind of flavor. Wow.. this place is not good. Extremely overpriced and the portions are really small .. my fianc\xc3\xa9 and I had to eat elsewhere afterwards. Noodles are definitely store-bought. It's just a bunch of hotpot stuff dumped in a little pot... Tables and chairs are uncomfortable and wobbly.... just wish they can do better...You know, why bother to open a space if you can't offer anything special on your menu? \n\nFAIL.... -___- |

Tried the steak. Was surprised to have marinara sauce on it though, but again this is an Italian restaurant.\nGood service. Decor and spacing not so good. One of my favorite halal steak places, just would like the chef to go back to the original recipes he did when the restaurant started and make the food less spicy My most favourite Italian restuarant in the Vaughan area - and this area is full of Italian restaurant. This is definitely not a typical Italian though - they have eastern twists in various dishes - which make it different in a great way. The dishes are simply more flavourful. I love the various pasta sauces and seasoning that use saffron. The chicken pastas, steak pastas and seafood pastas are all awesome. I am not a big steak person and have also heard that their steaks are not their strong point. The two poutines are really great as well - which again also are different from regular poutines as they have hints of eastern flavours. Awesome restaurant. If you feel like having Italian, and want to try something different, this is definitely the place. Kara Mia is pretty good. I say this for many reasons. Great food, great service, and friendly staff. \n\nI've been here twice, and both experiences have been pretty good. The first time I went here was on Eid, and miraculously, they were able to seat us without reservations. We ordered several dishes and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Out waitress was very friendly and kept asking us how things were. Her kindness was really appreciated. The second time we went was for my brother's birthday, and the experience was just as good as the first. Friendly staff and good, fresh food. \n\nBeing a Muslim foodie, you could understand why this place excited me! Finally, a halal place that doesn't have the typical burgers or shawarmas or pizza. Some good, fresh, and tasty Italian food for a change? Yes PLEASE! \n\nThe food is a bit on the pricey side, but that's not all that surprising considering the quality of the food and experience. Remember that you're not paying for a shawarma or burger here! :)\n\nI noticed that the head chef was very friendly with all customers, and insisted that they come over and watch him cook. I thought that was really nice!\n\nSome foods I've tried here:\nFettucine Alfredo- 3.5/5\nPenne with saffron/mushrooms: 4/5\nRegular poutine (no longer on menu) 4/5\nSaffron Poutine: 3.5/5\nChicken Parmesan: 3.5/5\nKid's steak (according to brother): 3.5/5\nChicken Caesar salad: 4/5\nMista Salad: 3.5/5\n\nThis place is great for a change from the regular halal restaurants you'll find in the GTA, and for that alone, the high rating was given. I definitely will return for some more chicken and steaks! Yum! This place is an Italian HALAL restaurant. That should be filed as an oxymoron. You wouldn't believe they served Italian because it felt more like I walked into a Saudi restaurant. It was a little uncomfortable for a kafir, Western girl like me. \n\nThe cons:\n1. No booze. I guess if you serve halal, you wouldn't have alcohol. \n\n2. Shitty service. We had a party of about 15-20 and all the plates came out at different times. By the time the last person got their food, the first person to be served was already finished with dinner. Not okay. \n\n3. Creepy birthday music tape that played every 17-20 minutes. \n\n4. Food poisoning. I got sick right after I finished eating and it ruined the rest of my night. \n\nI guess if you're ever in the mood for halal Italian food...slaughter the animal at home in the name of God and cook your own chicken Alfredo. |

Food is always good. General Tso's chicken and Sweet-sour shrimp are our favorites. I really I'm so sad , this has great food, but there have so many food violations that it scares me to even eat there if you look at the back entrance you could see food just sitting there , it's not clean, you guys have so much intentional just clean up your act and you probably be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Akron If you're looking for great Chinese food at a good price, look no further then A Wok. I've been coming here for the past 13 years and have yet to be disappointed. Top notch Chinese food, the best in the Akron area! Kitchen more than willing to do special orders if you ask. Great value for the money....give them a try for sure! |

Let me just say that THIS is the BEST restaurant that I have been to since I started all this yelping! It's not about the sparse atmosphere, it is all about the food and all the flavors. My taste buds felt like they went to a party on steroids! First started with the Fatuch salad, which I cannot even describe other than it had a light lemony dressing on it and was topped with fried pita chips. Then I had the chicken kabob with hummus, instead of the rice. Again, I cannot even describe all the flavors in either the chicken or the hummus. The hummus was whipped up like potatoes, kinda. The whole time I was eating, I was squealing with culinary delight. I almost never order dessert, but just had to try what the next table over was eating. It is called KNAFEH. Apparently it is a dessert found in Palenstine. If for no other reason you go to this restaurant, go for this dessert. There just aren't words. For a few moments, we felt as if we had left Charlotte for either a Middle Eastern country or maybe NYC. We'll be talking about this experience for many moons. I may not brush my teeth tonight because I want to keep the flavors in my mouth. Double wow. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside but the food is delicious! My boyfriend and I arrived and decided we were going to get the food to go. The server was very helpful and patient in explaining everything and helping us decide what to order. We didn't have to wait very long which was great cause we were hungry! The plates came with two sides. My boyfriend ordered the lamb and beef shawarma with yellow rice and hummus. I ordered chicken kebab with the side salad and yellow rice as well. They were both very large portions, that we split in to two meals (even though I wanted the whole thing) and everything was very flavorful. It also came with a side of pita and some sauces. We will definitely be going back to try more! Awesome Mediterranean spot! They are run by authentic Middle Eastern people, that are very nice. They are pretty quick for service, so it was a great stop for lunch. The food portions are quite large, so I ordered an entree and an app and shared it, and left stuffed. They have some pretty simple, safe options for those that are less adventurous in foreign foods. I was very pleased with the quality of food, including the meats. Doesn't seem like they cut corners on quality. I'll definitely be back! A fabulous find - food is delicious and owners are super friendly. Absolutely the best baba ghanoush in the Queen City! I love the food here from falafel to kebabs it was all wonderful and the lunch special can't be beaten. |

Not that I ordered it. It just sounded delicious.\n\nSo the waitstaff was efficient and friendly enough but I can't say particularly warm. She seem primarily disgruntled and indirectly emphasized that she was working, at work, and not having fun. She did play some great music, though.\n\nFor starters, my friend and I split the lemongrass mushroom soup. Full disclosure: this soup is my favourite in the whole world and I assume every bowl will be spicy. This is not the case at Urban Thai. Good, not spicy. OK.\n\nMy friend got orange chicken, loved it, and I'll take his word because I am a vegetarian.\n\nI got the vegetarian Malay supercombo, 100% because it had tofu skewers. They were great! (Pretend I added a bajillion exclamation points to that.) And the veggies were amazing, too.\n\nI wouldn't go out of my way to hit up Urban Thai because I have two staple places right where I live, but should I wonder through Little Italy and decide that I don't really feel like Italian (which is normally the case), Urban Thai is for sure on my shortlist. I also think the place has a great decor and lived up to its name.\n\nPlus it's next to Souz Dal, yesssssssss!\n\nFor two people, no drinks, tax and tip, I want to say the meal came out to about $40. Items: Pad Thai (Chicken), and Golden Curry.\n\nLess than stellar for both. Pad Thai was dry, and the taste was bland, save the lime I squeezed over it. The curry had a great initial impression, but a tad overwhelming after a few more tastes. Nice, modern, glassy venue with a somewhat tropical feel too. Wish I wasn't seated so close to the door but it's ok. \n\nYummy food! Vegetable green curry with a perfect little portion of rice on the side. Water with a lemon wedge, always a nice touch. I love a little bit of lemon. \n\nMeh service. The food came fast. Noted: the waitress seemed to be working every other table with her charm, except for mine. I know you can probably tell that I'm a student, but come on! Since moving to residence, I have been craving a some flavour in my life. That and a need to stop wearing yoga pants. \n\nWith six friends in tow we trekked downtown for thai food, lured here by their Sapporo promo. \n\nHere is the low down: yummy pad thai! While I opted for the semi-safe curried pad thai, everything on our table looked delicious and free. Portions were amazing, and we had more than enough to bring home for leftovers. But cmon, who wants to be rolling up to the bar with doggie bags?\n\nExcellent food, good prices, nice atmosphere. Service was so-so, but that isn't stopping me from drool-worthy dreams of pad thai. They are under new management now, so my old "go to " deal doesn\'t exist anymore, but the food is still a really good standard Thai restaurant in the hood. I ordered it again this past weekend in the quality is still excellent. |

We picked this restaurant because I found out that they have happy hour on Saturday too (4:30 - 6:30). \n\nWe got there about 4:45 and we were the only customers there. The decor inside was very chic, a pretty trendy look. We opted to sit at their patio, so we could watch people going to the Porchfest. \n\nTheir happy hour menu consists on a few selected drinks for $6, appetizers for $6, and 3-course meal (pick one from selected appetizers, one from selected entrees, and one from selected desserts) for, I believe $26. \n\nWe wanted to get a couple of beers and appetizers to share between us, so we asked our server guy for his recommendations, and he recommended to get some shrimp appetizer, sweet and spicy calamari, and beef ribs with mango BBQ sauce for appetizers and we got all three. \n\nShrimp appetizer came with 3 large shrimps, cooked in something similar to tempura batter and served with the peanut sauce. The batter was a little bit too thick for my liking, but the flavor of the sauce was okay. \n\nI like the calamari appetizer the best out of 3. It was cooked in a sweet and spicy sauce. The sauce had some diced red and yellow peppers and had a good amount of a kick to it. \n\nTheir beef ribs were cooked until the meat fell off the bones. I didn\'t really tasted mango in the BBQ sauce, though. \n\nAll three appetizers were okay since they were at the happy hour pricing. I don\'t think I want to pay more than that. \n\nI got beer from tap that our server recommended. I\'m looking at the receipt and it says "Chimay". It was okay, but for $8 happy hour price, it seemed the glass was small... I guess I\'m used to those 22oz tall boy glass at those less-fancy joints... \n\nOur server was a little bit on the slow side, giving the fact that the entire time we were there, there were only 2 more tables occupied. \n\nA guy, I think it was a chef, came to each table and asked us how everything was. I thought that was nice. \n\nAm I going to go back? Probably not... It was just too fancy for me. We went to Menu6 for the first time this week and though we enjoyed most of what we had, it did not live up to my expectations. The menu was unusual and unimpressive. Normally the menu sounds great at many restaurants and then you're disappointed when the food comes. This was a bit of the opposite. A very scarce selection of entrees included 1 chicken, a few beef, 1 duck, ribs and the rest seafood. If you like seafood combos, this may be your menu as there were 3 different ones. There was not a shrimp-only entree and no vegetarian (though the waiter said he could provide a vegetarian menu) or lamb. All but a few of the entrees came with garlic mashed potatoes including, to our surprise, the lamb chop appetizer. There were only two salads on the menu, a nicoise and a romaine wedge...the nicoise seemed too filling when paired with the rich entree choices and a romaine wedge seemed an odd and unimpressive option for an upscale restaurant, so we passed on both. So after eating mashed potatoes with our appetizer, both our entrees also came with the same. When we asked for a substitute all that was possible was french fries or spinach...no baked potato or pasta options which we found lacking. Was also surprised to find no seasonal vegetables like parsnips, beets, yams, sweet potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin or squash (there was a side on 1 entree), but instead there was out-of-season asparagus on most of the entrees. And the asparagus were a bit of a disappointment as they were steamed extremely al' dente with just a little oil and lemon...grilled would've been a nice alternative. On a positive note, we were thrilled with the olive tapenade that came with the warm, toasty bread, the calamari appetizer and lamb chop appetizer were both a wonderful blend of sweet and savory with just enough of a kick. I would rate the value fairly high as the cost was not overly expensive and portions were more than adequate. The fundy salmon entree was done to perfection with a light honey glaze. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. There was a large party there that night and he always kept us informed of our meal status and was very attentive. The dessert menu was similarly limited (chocolate cake, carrot cake or tiramisu) and surprisingly unimaginative, but the tiramisu was probably the best I've ever had. They were out of the bread pudding and the banana gelato. Still, given the season and rich entrees and appetizers offered, a dessert with pears, pumpkin or apples was an unfortunately oversight. All in all we had some pleasant surprises, but had a hard time with some of the limited choices. I know the menu changes often and hopefully the next one will see some improvement. Hopefully one with more of a focus on seasonal items with choices for side dishes. The waiter did say their website has the most recent menu, so we will be sure to check next time before going. We'll give it another try as it's obvious that this chef is very talented. If I could given it 3.5 stars, I would've. Two of us went to this restaurant at about 6:30 on a Wednesday eve. The place was really quiet, except for a few tables of people. We were served some bread rolls that seemed a little stale. We ordered the calamari to start. They were covered in a sweet and sour type sauce which was too sweet for me and I couldn\'t really tell if they were supposed to be grilled or fried, there may have been some of both. We then ordered the white fish dish, which was served in a curry type sauce with what seemed to be linguini pasta. I don\'t really enjoy when italian pasta is mixed into Asian dishes. An Asian noodle would have been great. The lobster "dumplings" were interesting, but noting exceptional. We also ordered the warm arugula salad which was good, a little rich and a little small for the price. While the food was enjoyable enough, there was nothing there to pull us back. Nice designed and having a food forward type of global influence cuisine, from Caviar to Foie Gras, parsnips to Kalamatta olives, Artic Char to Quail..... just delicious!\nGreat Service and nice ambiance. I came here after buying a restaurant.com certificate and thought I would give them a go. It wasn't the best dining experience, but I would be willing to go back and give them another try. \n\n(1) we were the only patrons dining, but service was extremely slow, albeit friendly.\n(2) some of the ordered dishes were unavailable, which is annoying but it happens.\n(3) the food was underseasoned, which is funny in a restaurant that doesn't have salt and pepper on the table. I have a pretty balanced palate for salt, and my husband likes his dishes slightly underseasoned. So if he finds it underseasoned, it is bad.\n(4) I liked the menu in theory, but found the food quality to be not worth the price tag. Had I not had a coupon, I would have been peeved. I can honestly make better dishes than what we were served.\n\nAll this being said, from conversations with friends that have had great meals here, perhaps it was an off night. \n\nIf not, they are in trouble because there are many other restaurants serving entrees in the same price point that serve a much better meal (e.g. Fire, Greenhouse Tavern and Lolita). |

I ordered the cut of a leg of lamb with thyme sauce. It was served with some kind of green garnish and a side of French Fries. French Fries? Couldn't they come up with some other way of cooking the potato? Potatoes au gratin perhaps? Something that requires more culinary skills than dumping fries into the fryer. These weren't even fancy fries made with fresh potato pieces. They were the same ones you might pull out of your freezer. -1 star for the lack of imagination on the starch side dish. The only time I ate here, my salad had a used bandaid in it. To make matters worse, the manager was completely uninterested. He acted like he was doing us a big favour by not charging for the salad. A friend asked to meet and eat here. He liked it because it reminded him of a Parisian bistro/cafe. It seemed slightly like one but I wasn't particularly intrigued by the decor or slighly more upscale ambiance of the restaurant. The service was quite good though. The food wasn't particularly interesting to me. I had the soup of the day ($4.50) which was cream of the in-season vegetables and a rosette de lyon sandwich ($8) which was basically salami on a baguette. When the waiter mentioned it was a sausage, I guess I imagined more of an American or german style sausage. Not that it was bad but it was a salami sandwich you could find in any sandwich shop. I guess I would've perferred something a little more distinctly French. The sandwich came with a side of fries, which were a bit soggy for my taste. The service again is what really shone in my meal here. There's also a nice outdoor patio to eat in if the weather cooperates. Had a great lunch, nice semi formal atmosphere.\n\nBreakfast, at 12.5$ all included. Also nice. Returning soon. I just spent a week in Paris, and this reminded me a lot of the brasseries where I had a lot of my meals. For the reviewers that complain about this place, I think it is because they do not understand French brasserie food. Pommes frites ("french fries") for example are a VERY typical accompaniment to any grilled meat dish, particularly beef, chicken, or lamb. If I\'d been served "au gratin" potatoes with my bavette de l\'ayalou (skirt steak) I\'d have been very suspicious! By the way, the meat was cooked perfectly, with a nice char on the outside and warm and red in the center (not too rare).\n\nI had dinner here with my family, and we were all very pleased with our meal (and we are all very big "foodies"). The food is unpretentious, reasonably priced, and served in a very comfortable atmosphere with attentive, friendly service. In a word - a classic French brasserie (but with good service). \n\nFor those who don\'t understand what a "brasserie" is, it is like an English pub, but with a brighter lighting, better food, and an emphasis on wine and/or coffee rather than pints of warm flat beer. :-) |

The last time I went here the entire bar was empty, but the whole place smelled like a urinal cake. Minus another star. SO...on its best day I\'d give it 3 stars. The food isn\'t anything special and I don\'t remember there being a great beer selection. Also, I didn\'t go to a Catholic high school so I think the whole idea is pretty lame anyways. Apparently most of the bros that frequent this place did and think its great. The\'ll probably buy those new "Brohio" t-shirts that I think are horrible and wear them to karaoke on a Tuesday. I can not say anything for the food, I've never had it. I love going to Eddy & Iggy's because of their consistent karaoke offerings. I believe karaoke is every night. During the weekends it can get packed rather quickly.\n\nDrink selection is typical of a Lakewood establishment. Their addition of a side patio last summer was a superb idea!\n\nThey also have several tvs and a big screen projector. I've watched a couple of different sporting events here with pleasure. My last couple experiences at Eddy and Iggy's have not been so great :( I mean, the last time I was there there was a TACK in my water! How does that even happen? They changed the trivia dude and he was pretty rude to my team so we just left. Please go back to the way things were! I went on a super crowded Tuesday trivia/karaoke night and was told it isn't usually so full. I like when bars have activities, and it was a good time. The crowd was interesting. Everyone seemed like they had had their 21st birthday within the week. I usually think of ATC as the youngest bar in Lakewood, but this definitely takes the cake. With that said, maybe it was a goofy night. I'll go again for sure. All the memorabilia was cute, I'm sure the collection will grow. \n\nAnd if you are a wine drinker like this girl, don't be discouraged by the tiny wine bottles behind the bar, they have the real stuff in the basement, just ask! I love E&I for one thing and one thing alone.\nKEVIN KELLIOKE on Thursday nights. \nYou never know who you're going to see, or WHAT you're going to hear.\nPlus you can get a quick bite and enjoy a beer while you watch the show.... |

When I walked in I was wondering why no one was in there and now I understand. POOR service with a waitress with a very bad service. I would recommend locals and visitors to not keep on passing by. If you do eat here good luck. Gotta temper your expectations here so the Rating is calibrated as such for a diner. What else can you ask for late at night or early morning for breakfast. We sat at the bar and were able to witness the cooks and staff work diligently the late night we came in. They were very friendly and laughing with us as we waited. The prices were low, of course, for typical breakfast food and the establishment was generally clean as they are relatively new.\n\nThe best deal looked like the "All the Way" hash browns. It came with everything and the kitchen sink. Definitely a must try especially after a night of drinking at the new nearby brewery...\n\nThe only issue is that there\'s limited seating, but they apparently do take-out now. Fortunately, this part of town doesn\'t appear to get too slammed with late night party-goers. If you are the franchise owner of this waffle house you should really reach out to me. Your being robbed blind. please never eat there! the staff are very unprofessional, there were screaming and yelling and two employees walked out the back in order to fight! i'm not make this up! save your money and make a good investment by going somewhere else Remind me never to come to this location again please . I am sitting here now as we speak just because I wanted a simple bacon egg n cheese patty melt. When I came in no one spoke instead everyone in the kitchen sat and looked at me til I finally said hey everybody and kindly took a seat. As I was sitting I'm looking at all of the tables that hasn't been cleaned I finally found a end table that was clean. So as I'm sitting one of the girls yells from the kitchen hey do u know what u want ??? Ummm I acted like I didn't hear her so she could properly come to the table and take my order at this point I'm in shock. I swear if I wasn't so hungry I would have just got up and left !!! Don't let me forget to tell you how the waitress finally brings my food out and just slams it down to the table .This is ridiculous!!! |

I think it\'s always interesting to see what kind of crowds are in a Mexican restaurant on a Sunday evening because that tells me something about the restaurant. Don Tequila\'s had a fairly nice crowd. Maybe the $2.50 lime margaritas had something to do with it, but, if it does, that\'s just good marketing on their part. Lots of Mexican restaurants I\'ve been to would be hard pressed to cover their costs on Sundays.\n\nThe $2.50 lime margaritas are good. Try one. I also enjoyed the salsa, presented in small carafes with everyone getting their own small bowel so there is no worry about double dipping. And I was perfectly satisfied with my 3 enchilada dinner. Don\'t remember what it was called but it came with one cheese enchilada, one ground beef enchilada and one chicken enchilada, each covered in a different sauce. And the customary rice and beans. I was able to substitute the chicken for pork with no difficulty, and I am happy I did. The pork was seared nicely to bring out the flavor and was probably the best enchilada of the three.\n\nThe people I was with thought the food was only O.K. I thought it was better than O.K. And the staff was friendly and helpful.\n\nDon Tequila is a "sister" to Patrons in Wadsworth. While I liked Don Tequila I would probably chose to return to Patron\'s if I\'m with my same friends. After all, I did give Patron\'s 5-stars. I've lived in Chicago, New York, Seattle... and I still look forward to coming home to Medina so I can eat at Don Tequila. There are two kinds of Mexican food I've found, gourmet Mexican ($10+/tapas/etc.) and your working-class Mexican (taco truck style/ street Mexican). Don Tequila is the latter and without a doubt the best I've come across anywhere. Even when I've found comparable food, it's never been as cheap and in as large quantity as Don's. For the price, you're not going to find better authentic Mexican food. The cherry on the proverbial deep-fried ice cream however, is the staff. Go here 2 or 3 times in the same month and they will know your name, what you usually order, ask you how your mother's doing...:) I had just gotten a raise and decided to treat me and my girlfriend to a nice late lunch. I have had arrozz camarones at another place and it is my favorite dish. I tried it at fiesta jalape\xc3\xb1os and other places up north. This was the best. And plus I didn't know what the Texas margarita was, it's a must banging! Gracie's Carlos! My husband and I usually find that we can eat cheaper and better here than at Chipotle. The service is always friendly and I've never had a problem with the food. The portions are huge, and they give you chips of course. Even if you get carryout, they still give you a ton of chips. One meal from this place tends to last for two, easily. So I\'m sitting with some dude whos wearing a spider hat eating chips and salsa... sipping on a soda - Mountain Dew flavored - waiting on my chimis to arrive. Then all of a sudden the heavens part and who slips in the booth next to me? It\'s none other than Mike Carlson. "No thanks," he says passing on food, "I\'ll just have a soda in one of those glass bottles, lemon/lime if you will." SpiderHat pours him his own individual bowl of little salsa to avoid cross contamination and Carlson sits and munches - periodically drinking from his bottle from his oh so kissable lips. As I sit silently eating my scrumptious chicken chimis - I listen to SpiderHat and him discuss Carlson\'s most current girlfriend and how he took her to see Eclipse. If only I was lucky enough to attend the latest Twilight movie on the arm of a man like Carlson.... Or perhaps even the grace the dead bodies opened up for science display followed by a romantic dinner of grilled cheese at the Melt. But alas, I guess this girl is just gonna have to dream. \n\nOh yah - and there\'s some pretty freakin\' good Mexican food at this place. |

You will not get a little somethin\'-somethin\' here. \n\nActually, you will get something, something tasty. \n\nA co-worker and Lawrenceville resident (no, he\'s no yuppie or hipster) told me about this new place, raving about their service and food. So I had to try it, but being that it\'s a ways down the street from my job, I had to do the pre-shift takeout thing instead of trying to go on my break. \n\nI really had no idea what to get so I went with the Fried Dumplings (8 to an order), a pint of Lobster Fried Rice (they also come in quarts), and their Fried Chinese Donuts (10 to an order). \n\nNow, as I have intimated before, I work with some...characters, colorful personalities with whom I clash. Spidey has arch-enemies. So do I. This cat is one of them. \n\nRemember those old Hostess ads that appeared in Marvel and DC comics during the high 70\'s and low 80\'s? If not, here\'s one of them....\n\nhttp://www.seanbaby.com/hostess/v2spiderman16.htm\n\nYeah, I gave The Crank one of my dumplings, and he was my pal for the rest of the day, thanking me profusely, asking me if they were beef or pork. \n\nI\'m leaning towards beef. They were very much like the dumplings served at Dormont\'s Amazing Wok in that the meat is rich, dark, deeply filling, and was wrapped in an artisan\'s potsticker. I always forget how much I love these apps until I have them again, and Lucky Dragon does them very, very well. Hey, if they turned a toxic, middle-aged co-worker into Alan Alda, they must be goshdarn good. \n\nI\'ve had Beef, Shrimp, and Chicken Fried Rice but never Lobster Fried Rice before, until today. \n\nIt wasn\'t bad at all. My only problem with the dish was that the rice and lobster were slightly on the dry side, but aside from that it was more than edible. I suspect they use langostinos instead of real lobster, but I like langostinos, so I can forgive the swindle. \n\nBesides, a pint was only $4.95. Yeah. The 8 dumplings were $4.25. 10 awesome, freshly-fried little sugar donuts were $3! This is not a hoax or imaginary story! \n\nBlame Cranberry\'s Dynasty Buffet for getting me hooked on the donuts. This has to be an Americanized thing, at least in part. Wikipedia sort of sets the record straight...\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_tiao\n\n"You tiao, you taste marvelous." That\'s what I\'m gonna say to each one I wolf down when next I try them. Would that be weird? What an amazingly delectable and simple dessert fried dough can be. \n\nOnce again, Lucky Dragon follows a trend with Pittsburgh-area Asian restaurants in that with your meal, you can not only get eggroll, but also a cute kid to dote on. I think she was less than two. The grandmother held her as she waved to me. Heartmelting. \n\nSee, I think they use the kids as a marketing gimmick. \n\nI\'m glad I stopped in late on this rainy morn. I walked in from the gloom, found sunshine, and walked out with a touch of Heaven in those dumplings. \n\nYou should walk in also. Remember this R.E.M. song?\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCQ0vDAbF7s&ob=av2e\n\nThat could have been written about the family who runs this restaurant.\n\n I still can\'t stand R.E.M., but I dig Lucky Dragon. I'd say this place is average at best. I got takeout and while it satisfied my immediate Chinese food craving, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. The cheese wontons were too sweet for my liking, the beef lo mein was sadly lacking in beef, and the General Tso's Chicken had no kick to it. But at ~$20 for three dishes (General Tso's, beef lo mein, and cashew chicken) and an order of wontons, I can't complain too much now, can I? I had my hopes set so high for Lucky Dragon. When I picked up the food I was even so bold as to take a menu with me so it would be easier to order takeout over the phone. Sadly, when I got home to eat, things just went downhill.\n\nThe cheese wontons are a little too sweet for my liking. The General Tso's chicken didn't have much spice or distinctive flavor to it--kind of boring. I really didn't like the beef lo mein (what little beef there was). I also didn't care too much for the cashew chicken.\n\nBummer... Simple and basic Chinese food. My girlfriend and I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, schezuan beef, chicken fried rice and cheese ragoons. All the food was pretty tasty, no real complaints. Portion size was pretty good and the prices were very reasonable. Nothing super different or unique, but still a good establishment.\n \nThe place itself is a typical hole-in-the-wall kind of place. Seems to be run by a family because during my visit there was an older woman, a young woman, and two small children. \n\nThe service was quick and efficient. I placed my order and the lady repeated it back to me before making it. I waited approx. 10 minutes and the food was still piping hot when I got it home. \n\nMost certainly a place I will revisit. I did not enjoy this place. Nothing awful about it, but nothing good either. Tried a variety of appetizers and main dishes. Did not like any of the appetizers. The main dishes were all flavorless. Go to Green Bamboo instead. |

At most places on fight night there is standing room only and they dont reserve tables for you. This place is different. If you call ahead they reserve you a table, and they have the awesome burgers and fantastic wings. The service is good, the wait staff is attentive and it isnt as loud as most sports bars. There are several seating options from the bar to the patio to general seating. The only complaint was that the drinks are not consistently made. One bloody mary may not taste like the next for example. All in all this place is good and we will be going again. I believe it's fair to say that Tukee's #Rubbed Ryan M. the wrong way. \n\nAs for me, any place named Tukee's can't be all bad ... perhaps just predominantly. My advice to anyone blasting the food at an establishment that labels itself a Sports Grill would be to indulge in copious amounts of spirituous libations prior to ordering and consuming the culinary offerings. The kitchen closes at 9. They don't have Captain Morgan, Sailor Jerry, or Kraken... and they close at 1am on Saturday :( I have been a patron of Tukees since it opened. This place doesn't get the respect it deserves. The employees here are friendly and attentive, not to mention always looking for a way to improve thier brand. I have seen nothing but improvement here. I will always stop in for as long as they are here. I recommend stopping in, no doubt you will have made a friend before you leave. I gave four out of five stars due to the fact I havent tried everything they offer yet. Quick Summary: RUN! RUN FAR, FAR AWAY! Worst restaurant in Ahwatukee. This place is SO BAD that they have table talkers bribing customers with a free dessert or $1 beer in exchange for a good Yelp review! \n\nChef Irvine, Chef Ramsey, please salvage the good name of Ahwatukee! I haven\'t had a burger THIS bad since my childhood when my father would gleefully ignite the kettle grill with half a bottle of starter fluid & produce burgers that looked exactly like the charcoal briquets upon which they were cooked! I ordered a "medium" bleu cheese & bacon burger that was a quarter inch thick, had a sad, anemic tomato slice and cold fries. The single star is for the cheerful service. I feel sorry for the wait staff who has to serve this crap. I would not have gone to this bar, which is all it is, if not for the fact that my favorite Meetup group was gathering there for Happy Hour. Thank heavens for all the good company. We did not go unannounced, either. And we didn\'t all order our food at the same time. The menu touts the burger meat grind as something truly special: Special if you like preformed frozen thin patties that are cooked within an inch of their lives! To their credit, there actually was some bleu cheese, the bacon was crisp, the saut\xc3\xa9ed onions properly cooked and the bun was soft, fresh & nicely toasted. So, after removing the burger patty, the tomato & the limp, insipid pickles & lettuce I was left with bruschetta. Complained politely to the the waitress who seemed genuinely surprised stating that they are "known" for their burgers. But no offer of another menu item or a refund. I could have had a better burger at the nearby Carl\'s Jr., and I am not a fast food fan! And I\'m NOT kidding when I say that they actually have cards on the tables that say if you give them a good Yelp review, you\'ll get a free dessert or $1 alcoholic drink! REALLY????? I was at the very least expecting basic bar food, I would have had better from the freezer & the microwave. My dinner companion tried the nachos; equally disgusting! Vile canned nacho cheese sauce & ground beef that was so overcooked that it looked like black nuggets of grease! Thank heavens there\'s an Urgent Care less than a quarter of a mile away! Ironically, the BEST restaurant in Ahwatukee is directly across the street! |

Consistently great food at reasonable prices. The food here is outstanding middle eastern cuisine! The signature dish that I had today is the Baba Ghanouj, they have amazing grape leaves, hummus and the list goes on and on. I am semi vegetarian but my children and husband love the meat dishes here as well. The owners are wonderful and I love eating here. It is a must have. My family loves coming in for the entire experience! The owner is always present & always friendly. The chicken kabobs are always moist and full of flavor. \n\nI've never had a bad experience and would recommend this to anyone looking for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. The food has been consistently delicious Please change back to Jerusalem Cafe. I ordered the falafel plate which consisted of 4 completely inedible hocky puck falefels, dry, stale pita, and flavorless hummus. I was really looking forward to this, but was extremely disappointed. Three of us stopped for lunch and were very happy with everything we ordered. The cauliflower appetizer was especially delicious and the baba ghanouj was also excellent. My husband was very pleased with his beef kebob. Fast pleasant service. It was a beautiful day so we were able to eat outside. If not the inside is a little small and cafeteria like so it might be 4 1/2 stars for that. However we will definitely be back often. |

I am two weeks late writing this review as with the holidays I didn't have time. My room mate and I went there after we went to the magical forest of lights after I found the yelp deal . Think it was 15 for 30? The only draw back I can think of it was kinda hard to find. We walked in thinking it was would have seating and be well marked as a place to eat. After a minute or two of looking around I asked the bar tender if I was in the right place. I think the woman's name was Dee-Dee? She sits in the corner with signs for Vegas Cheese steaks. I think we were blind since it wasn't what we thought it would be. We ordered a lot of food...We both couldn't decide on a burger or a Philly. So we were directed to the Philly burger. It was a burger with Philly cheese, mushroom and onions. We also got the fried mushrooms, cheese sticks and two kinds of fries. Cheese and I think it was pizza. \n\n\nBurgers... juicy, perfectly cooked. The veggies were done just the right amount without being soggy or crunchy. Over all one of the top three burgers I have ever eaten. Perfect if you can't make up your mind or just want something new and utterly yummy.\n\nMushrooms... now I am a big fan of mushrooms. A kinda picky one at that. The order was huge! I would say at least half a pound of mushrooms probably more. All nice and golden brown and crunchy. The mushrooms themselves weren't soggy so you would tell they were fresh before they were breaded and fried. A must return for these alone!\n\nCheese sticks.... again nice and golden brown and crunchy. Cheese was nice and stringy without being powdery tasting. Large cheese sticks as well. Not the rinky dink ones you get at fast good places or some restaurants.\n\nFries.... we got the pizza fries and the cheese fries. We couldn't not try the pizza ones. Yummy pizza sauce and cheese. Only thing that would make it better would be adding little cubes of pepperoni to it. Still trying to figure out how the fries stayed crunchy under the sauce. The fries weren't thin cut or steak cut. Kinda in the middle. The cheese fries crunchy golden yumminess with fresh melted cheese. I liked that they used real cheese instead of nacho cheese. \n\nBar tender... sadly I didn't get his name but he was super friendly and quick to make our drinks.\n\nServer/cook .. amazing. She helped us pick out what we wanted when we got the omg so many options glazed look. Quick friendly, but didn't hover when we were trying to talk to ourselves. \n\nOver all value ..amazing. For all the food we ordered it came up to $30.31. Large portions. I can't wait to go back and try one of the Phillie's. They looked just as good as our burger. Which did heat back up nicely the next day. Had my doubts it would dry out but it didn't. So worth the drive to North Vegas from South Vegas. So yesterday was my 2nd time attempting to go there and eat. But yesterday the restaurant was gone. The place was inside of another place. Ask the Bartender and he said they moved and dunno where they went. \n\nHow lovely they moved without posting it on their web site and they don't like to answer the phone when people call to get more information. Waiting on yelp to refund my deal that I purchased from them.\n\nGrrr =T This is one of the perks of living in northwest las vegas, all of the hidden culinary gems, waiting for you to stumble upon.\n\nThe cheesesteak sliders were spectacular, the steak was perfect tenderness, and the mild taste of garlic butter on the soft rolls it was served on was subtle, in perfect balance. Sinful. \n\nHaving never had a cheesesteak wrap before, I was impressed by the addition of crisp lettuce, tomato and mayo to the traditional grilled onion, mushrooms and steak. It was much lighter than on a roll. Inventive and addictive.\n\nThe wings were slightly crispy outside with tender chicken throughout, buffalo sauce, and honey bbq spot on. Perfect\n\nBruce took amazing care of us, the DJ at the bar was playing some cool mash-ups, nice crowd with a friendly diverse mix of patrons.\n\nI will be back next week and I have to try one of their cheesesteaks on a roll\n\nLet me finish by saying to Scott W, who gave this restaurant 1 star, that if your favorite restaurants are chains like subway and blueberry hill, and you rank mediocre mexican restaurants like mi tierra as 5 stars, yelp was not invented for a**clowns like you. GO EAT AT APPLEBEES Still waiting on my so called Refund... Called the owner no answer. Left a message. Has been 3 days no call back. Called my bank , put in a request to fight the charge. Now i have to wait 30 days for a refund.\n\nSo this guy keeps my for 30 days and i dont get my food , nor even a SORRY. \n\nThis is B S ! If i could give this no stars i would. I had no chance to actually eat the food so this review is based completely on how my experience was with this company and the owner. \n\nAccording to their website : http://www.vegascheesesteaks.com/Menu.aspx\n\nMinimum Delivery Amount\nThe minimum order amount for delivery is $15.\n\nDelivery Area\nWe deliver within 5 miles.\n\nDelivery Charge\nFor any delivery additional $2 as delivery charge.\n\nSooo you would think that would deliver within a 5 mile radius right ?\n\nWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG\n\n\nThey don't deliver. The funny thing is why the heck would you have your website set up this way and allow the order to be delivered but not honor this... make any sense ??? \n\nPLUS ON TOP OF THAT !!!! THE ORDER RECIEPT THEY GET PLAINLY SAYS DELIVERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( see below ) \nVegas Cheesesteaks & More [email protected] to me\n \nshow details 6:14 PM (1 hour ago)\n \nVegas Cheesesteaks & More(Tel: 702-778-4608)\n2200 N. Rainbow Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89108 (http://www.vegascheesesteaks.com)\n\nOrder Type: Delivery [ ASAP ]\nPayment: PAID\n\nSo instead of seeing their receipt , seeing the fact it says deliver they charge my credit card and make the food...... They should have called me right then and there and said were sorry we dont deliver and we would have gone to pick it up... but NOOOO instead We waited 45 minutes ( they say on their site expect 30 to 45 minute wait depends on time of day ) then i called to find out the status and was notified they needed to caller the owner and he would call me back..... \n\nOwner calls me and gives me excuse after excuse as to why they cant \\ dont deliver and doesnt even offer me a discount just basically tells me sorry for waiting for 45 minutes all we will do is give you a refund. \n\n\nI will not be going here because they are false advertising the fact they deliver and cannot accept plain excuses from an owner who obviously has no idea what they are doing.\n\nSo now im out 45 minutes of my personal time , i could easily be enjoying some hot enjoyable cheesesteaks but now i never will and will tell every one i know to stay away from here. \n\nThe owner and this company does not deserve to be in business. \n\nPLAIN AND SIMPLE.\n\nP.S. To the owner if you actually see these... take delivery off your website ... its called false advertising...... |

Nice menu and great Caesar. Love the terrace. However, service is pretty bad. The food was fine but the waiter looked at / addressed my boyfriend most of the time while communicating with us. Then when we paid he spoke French only while knowing I\'m anglophone, and when I asked for separate bills, he refused to do that, and in a condescending voice told me "it\'s too late, sometimes, you know, it\'s okay to just say "thanks"" (when someone\'s inviting you). Unacceptable and very disappointing. Second time I've been at a Gros Luxe in a week! I prefer the Mile End location because it's cosier, but service was super friendly at both locations. So glad that they have vegan options -- so far I've had the mac + cheese and poutine and they were both great. Happy to have found this chain -- great place for me and my omnivore partner to go. Hopefully they'll keep expanding the vegan menu. ;-D I see a lot of disappointed people in the reviews, but I enjoyed my experience!\nI'm a long time l'gros luxe fan, my go-to spot was always the old lgros luxe plateau on St-Andr\xc3\xa9 (yet have to try the 100% v\xc3\xa9g\xc3\xa9) \nWe figured we would try this one since it's BYOW. The location is beautiful, especially the terrasse. (Which is more like a yard space which is super cute and intimate)\nI got the tuna tartare and my friend got the tuna tataki/edamame salad. The presentation was nice and the food was fresh and tasty. The menu is creative and I sure want to go back sometime to try the other items. A lot of people wrote they didn't feel full from the food they ate, but we were satisfied with our portions. I worked a 10 hr shift before going there and barely had lunch and my plate was enough to satisfy my hunger. \nIn the end, the food may be pricier but if you're someone who likes to drink, you will definitely save money from your drink consommation. Just pick up a nice wine before you get there and you're all set! Came with a group to have a nice dinner and evening. Ordered the vegan butter chicken curry, and it was very good. Would have wished for the food to be served hotter in terms of temperature and spice. The server was funny and fantastic, made us feel very comfortable. Overall, would come again. |

Food is mediocre at best. As of the spring of 2012 (I'm writing this in March) Lucky Season Cuisine and it's good fresh Dim Sum is now closed.\n\nIt has changed over to one of those tacky All You Can Eat Hot Pot places that seem to dominate the area of Highway 7 and Leslie.\n\nI'll review it in the Lucky Season Hot Pot thread that has just been created. I guess I got Lucky at Lucky Season Cuisine or I just visit when it was empty for an early dinner. \n\nPrices wise Lucky Season for sure is on the more pricey side most of the dishes are $12 and over, their set dinner with shark fin soup for 2 cost $47, so we ended up sticking with today specials. \n\nWhole Chicken for $13 is definitely pretty good price and the Baby Snow Peas with Mushrooms ($12) is quite sizable. \n\nServices were good and attentive. Our side plates full of chicken bones was replaced a couple of time during the course of the dinner... \n\nBut Lucky Season Cuisine is definitely not a place to go if you have just 2 people...and for sure alone.... One of the places you wish that all your friends can come along! Had dim sum here yesterday. Food was passable. I would say about a 2.5, but the durian pancake was a 4, and the servers were surprisingly friendly.\n\ntaro shred with ground pork filling, rice noodle roll with deep fried dough stick, steamed pork rib with black bean sauce, deep fried shrimp dumpling with salad dressing, curry cuttlefish, egg tart all between 2.5 and 3 stars.\n\nDurian pancake and Beef tendon were 4 stars, if not 4.5. Durian pancake had lots of durian flesh inside it, and it was sweet without being overly so. It was also a good sized portion. Beef tendon was super tender and so very tasty. Avoid at all cost! This hotpot place is horribly understaffed and undeserving of tips. They even force the service charge on the bill. They lost our order sheet and made us redo it. |

Love the lasagna Sometimes perspective is relative. When I moved to Las Vegas and the SW side of the Valley from Alaska, I thought Fazoli's and this particular location was an incredible score. At the time there was a very studious young man who was the manager and it was obvious he was going to be very successful and not be there very long. Sure enough, and 4+ years later I decided to pop in for a quick pasta meal. I ordered the rigatoni with a slice of pep. The resident manager was a friendly but sloppy looking young manager with her hat turned sideways. I am glad you want to be a poseur banger but I do not need that at a dining establishment. Anyway, I got my food and looked at imy food thinking...WTF...this looks like crap....how my appetite has changed from my Alaska days. I powered it down and went on down the road.\n\nAbout 2am I noticed extra farting and stomach tightness. By 4am I had vomited my first time and by 10am every element of food and liquid had left my body either through my gagging mouth or my loosely aimed butt. All three toilets were victims to art not worth describing.\n\nThis food poisoning episode required I take two days off from work and I am still recovering. The thought of even their logo repulses me. Back to Panera where they pull up their pants, wear their ballcaps professionally and I have a better sense of confidence that I will not get food poisoning. This place is just ok if you want an italian meal quick but not gourmet italian. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and it was just alright. I love this place. We ate here all the time when we lived in Arizona. Now I live in Cali and we do not have Fazoli's. If you have the time please check this place out! AWESOME!! I loved eating at Fazoli's when I lived in NC. I couldn't wait to try this location. On the day we went food was cold and seemed like it had been sitting out. Im not one to send food back. Cashier wasn't friendly and seemed annoyed that we were there. |

We stopped in before the show to have dinner. I have to say, Papaya had Some of the best Thai (Asian) food We had ever had. We had Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. They were fresh tasting and not greasy at all. I had chicken pad Thai. It had great flavor, tasted fresh, and had the right amount of heat. Yum! My wife had a Lo Mein dish and loved it. We finished with fried bananas and ice cream. Amazing!!! If we are back in the area, we will definitely be back!! Went here for dinner on a Friday night. There were only two other tables which is unfortunate since the food here is really good.\n\nThe waitstaff was attentive without being pushy. They were helpful with the menu (how spicy, ingredients, etc.) and knowledgeable about how the food was prepared. \n\nI will definitely come back here and recommend you give it a try. We usually have to go to a place in Akron if we want Thai food. Not anymore. We ordered takeout of Pad Thai, Basil Rice w/ chicken, Drunken Noodles, and Crab Rangoon. If I had one criticism it was that the crab Rangoon didn't have much crab in it but everything else was excellent. Be careful when ordering your spicy level too. We ordered 3/10 and it was about at our limit. Most places we order 5/10 but we wanted to be careful since it was the first time we ordered here and we're glad we did. No more trips to Akron for Thai food! I was looking for a new place to try that served dumplings. I did my research and read the reviews before coming here. All seemed well. Well, I walked in on a Saturday night and there was only one other table there. Not a good sign. I ordered the steamed and fried dumplings and they did not look like dumplings at all. The stuffing was coming out of the top and the filling tasted like it had some sort of bread crumbs in it. The dumplings were bland and not flavorful. I ordered the drunken noodles and again, not much taste. The noodles were greasy and meat was very fatty. The ambiance was very quiet and there wasn't any music playing. The only pro is that the staff was very friendly. I am disappointed and definitely will not be back. My second time ordering takeout here, and this is my new favorite asian cuisine nearby! I cant wait to explore their menu more! I would highly recommend spring rolls (they are the best Ive had in awhile), the drunken noodles, and the pad thai. The wonton soup is very good as well, the filling they use is tender and delicious and the broth is light and savory. The variety of vegetables in their entrees are a huge plus to me, their appetizers are all delicious, and the service was great. No complaints with this establishment! |

Mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box. Grilled chicken was good. Burgers were good. Mozzarella sticks delicious. Club sandwich was ok. Fries were not good.\nGreat staff!! Waitress was very sweet!! Went here for the first time today with an aunt that was visiting. Staff was very friendly, diner is very clean and well kept. We were seated as soon as we walked in and our waitress was quick to tend to us. We each got a double cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake. The burger was delicious, when I crave a good cheeseburger this is definitely a place I would go. Meat tastes very fresh and charbroiled. Fries were also good. As for the milkshake, it was a little more runny than expected with a large scoop of solid ice cream in it. But food was very good and I will definitely return again soon! It's a 50s styled restaurant with racing car models and a statue of Elvis. When I came the staff seem to be all seniors. Actually the customers seated were seniors as well. It seem to be a walk down memory lane for many. ( myself not included) I'm a 60s child. If you are a Nostalgia buff, or one that just joys the atmosphere of a time going by then a trip through Punchy's Diner is up your alley. I have been riding by this place for quite some time in my trips up and down Route 29 in Concord, observing this unique-looking Diner with what look like two automobile is in the front window. Upon a family members visit to town, and seeking something different than some of the regular restaurants or chain locations, I suggested punchy's Diner as I knew he was a fan of diners also. Upon entering is the immediate throwback to the Happy Days television show style era. Fun seating and looking at the menu I decided on a couple of Pancakes and some fried livermush.. my pop decided on the breakfast special, consisting of an omelet, bacon, hash browns and some coffee.\nMy two pancakes arrived and they were the size of the plate literally, yet light and fluffy. The liver mush, while I don't have this often, was superb, lightly crunchy, a delight to the occasional pork lovers palette... I struggled to finish the plate sized pancakes, but maned-up and finished them as they were too delicious to leave but not enough for a to go box.\n\nA stroll through the far end of the diner revealed 2 vintage autos on display with in a glass case. While I tried to get management to allow me to gain access for a closer look I understood their policy about not allowing people to touch the vehicles as they appear to be in mint condition..\nA fabulous stroll down a Time Gone by, service was spectacular and the food truly worthy of a return visit, but this time I need to be a little bit more hungry before tackling those pancakes. What an adorable diner. Unlike most diners it is clean, bright and nicely decorated. It follows a fifties theme with lots of classic cars painted on the wall and a few models on display. It's a great place for families. They have several arcade games and a nice ice cream display case. \n\nThis was my first time visiting Punchey's. I heard that the service was good, so maybe my expectations were too high. Our waitress was polite, but she wasn't very engaged. We had to pull recommendations out of her. \n\nWe decided to split the chicken box (one of their staples): 8 pieces of fried chicken, two pints of fixins (sides) and dinner rolls for $13.99. We ordered white meat, fried squash and fried okra. It was a nice portion for the price. The chicken was prepared PERFECTLY! It was crispy, golden brown and very flavorful. I love the way it was seasoned. The sides were just okay (but in all fairness I'm not a big fan of okra). The rolls were also underwhelming. They were the same heat and serve rolls that you can get from the grocery store. \n\nOverall, we were pleased with the experience, mostly because of how \ngood the chicken was. Stop by if you're in the area and definitely try the fried chicken! |

A great place to catch a quick meal, when out and about. Perfect place to go if you're with people who have dietary restrictions, anything and everything can be easily turned into a vegetarian option. \n\nRecommend are the chicken gumbo, homemade guacamole, and chicken burrito with brown rice. All wonderful and reasonably priced. The food is good but the service leaves much to be desired. The employees seemed disinterested. \nLove the naked burrito healthier alternative. According to the employees on Sunday the 25th. They are closing for good tomorrow. |

The location is awesome. It is kind of an escape from reality. A short 5 minute drive from downtown, parking is in the shade, and access to the restaurant is only steps away. \nI think I had higher expectations because of the name. This is a cafeteria. An upscale cafeteria at best. You place your order at the counter, and the wait staff brings the food to your table. There is an array of drink options, including the typical 7-11 style all you can drink soda, tea, and coffee bar. Regretfully you have to get up to refill the tiny 12 oz plastic cup they give you on your own.\nI typically tend to order the most expensive thing on the menu. Today was different. I ordered the Spring Pea and Watercress soup ($5), and the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli ($11). Next time I'll ask to have my courses served separately. Everything came at once. The soup was very tasty, but also very hot in temperature. It took me a few minutes to finish it. By the time I started the Ravioli, the white bean ragu sauce, had begun to harden, and the ravioli was warm, at best. I probably won't order this again. \nWould it hurt the wait staff to check on how I was doing? They are not getting tipped much, but it doesn't hurt to try! Maybe they could suggest a dessert. Service was definitely lacking here. When I'm spending $20 on lunch I expect more. My recommendation to the management, would be to have the wait staff serve drinks. A little interaction goes a long way.\nI gave this restaurant three stars, because it has potential. I will try it again. Very nice place and great food. Had the Salmon BLT and was very good. Perfect to go to and see someplace that is totally un-Las Vegas. The prices aren't that bad, and it also includes the sales tax. Since you order first and the food is delivered, no tip to worry about. A mini-retreat within Vegas. They have great outdoor covered terrace that's quiet and with a great view of the Springs Preserve. You don't have to pay admission if you're just visiting the Cafe. I remember last year, they served an awesome Sunday Buffet brunch every weekend with live music. My Favorite Item: Kobe Beef Burger. Yum! I met up with some family to check out the Springs Preserve today (Memorial Day) because it was a Target Free Day. As expected, the place was chock-full of people and that translated to an extremely busy Springs Cafe.\n\nI'm not going to ding them on this, but it should be noted. We waited about an hour for our food. I realize that they aren't used to that kind of crowd, but I figure they should be more prepared for a day like today.\n\nAnyway, the food was actually very good. I ordered a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Quinoa Salad. The chicken was very moist and tender and the ingredients came together exceptionally well. I also fully enjoyed that quinoa. I've never had it before and I am now a fan.\n\nI like the fact that their mission statement is to use organic and sustainable products. It's all part of the WELL philosophy (Wolfgang's Eat Love Live). I won't regurgitate their marketing on this, but you can read about it here (http://www.springspreserve.org/plan/cafe_well.html).\n\nThe best thing about it is that the whole WELL thing doesn't detract from the food. In fact, I think it only adds to it. I was actually planning on just giving them 3 stars, but as I wrote the review, I realized that I am indeed a fan (hour long wait notwithstanding).\n\nOne of the Springs Preserve's tag lines is to provide a vision for a sustainable future. There couldn't be a more perfect match for that ideology than Wolfgang Puck's Springs Cafe. (They are no longer at the Springs Preserve.) 3 Star for Food but 5 Star for ambiance. The food is good enough for 3 stars. Most of the stuff here are tasty. You can't go wrong with the pizzas or the salads here. If you order a pizza, an Asian Chicken salad and a hot tea, you just can't go wrong. The price is very expensive for a lunch meal but it's so relaxing at this cafe. If you work around the downtown area in a high stress job and are a total jerk because you are so stressed out all the time then please come here and zen out a bit. This place is peaceful. I never feel like I'm in Vegas whenever I'm here. This place is Zen. |

My daughter brought our slices to the table while the salads had to be made. I wasn't impressed with the sight of the pizza to begin with since I could tell they were not very fresh or warm. While waiting for the salads they brought out a piping hot cheese pizza. I was bummed that I got the crappy old pizza slices while the guy right behind me got the fresh hot slice. I even said something to the gal about being bummed about it and she just laughed. No thanks Barros. Old pizza is crap pizza. My favorite pizza place. Been eating at Barros for more than 30 years... Still the same... Still delicious. Service was fast and good and great lunch specials The best pizza I have ever eaten. We have done delivery and dined in. All the staff were very friendly and the place is very clean. Pizza Is delicious. You must have this pizza!!!! I love the bbq chicken with added onions and pepperoncini Gone downhill... pizza still good but wings are poor at best. Very disappointing for the Sunday night game. Lucky the pizza was good... I'm giving up om the food stuff close too home... Ordered Large Ham. And Mushroom today it was so good, the taste was fresh and melted in my mouth never had before.\nPerfect crust and delivery was fast and friendly. |

Many a stupefying food coma began at that place in my college days. Cleveland's OCB still provides the food coma, but with fewer blue-hairs slowing up the line. \n\nAnnnywaaay.....\n\nSean busted himself in a bike crash today. We spent a very large portion of the day in the ER. Five hours, one broken hand, concussion, and messed up shoulder later, we were both STARVING since neither of us had eaten in about 7 hours. We'd always wanted to try OCB and today was the day since it was close, and large portions were in order. \n\nWe both had the Brother Burrito, although I chose to skip the guac in mine. LOVE guac, but it just gets too goopy for me when it's inside the tortilla. Both burritos were huge, plenty of food for both of us. \n\nSean chowed his in literally 3 minutes although I had to peel the foil for him and he was so hungry, I doubt he even tasted it. But he gave it a thumbs up (well, more like a club hand up.) He had both the guac and refried beans rather than black beans in his. Although it was pretty goopy, he found that the refried beans held everything together well. Mine was very tasty with black beans and no guac. The salsas are very good, the flavors balanced, and I found the carnitas to be excellent. \n\nOverall, we're fans of OCB. Nice local alternative to Chipotle and QDoba. Cruel (yet funny) irony of the day: OCB is right next door to a bike shop! We'll be back. Hopefully next time, neither of us will be broken. Reading these reviews is hilarious. Don't people realize that salt = flavor?\n\nAnyway, I go there a decent amount, but mainly for sustenance. Those who think this is somehow better than Chipotle are insane. At best, they're roughly the same. The meats are better at Chipotle, but OCB take better care in preparing your burrito and gives you free guac. Oh, and neither is authentic. But that's not really the point.\n\nI do like that they have horchata (but it's way too sweet) and Mexican coke, though. Love me a good Ohio City burrito, or bowl. The food is always fresh and well prepared. My only complaint is that they have some wonky hours. Closed on Sundays and close early during the weekdays. I can only imagine how much more profit they'd gain if they were available a little later. But, to each their own and the deliciousness of the food they offer will never stop me from wanting it more than I should. Good, stick to your ribs food, that\'s one thing I\'ll always enjoy; Ohio City knows how to make just that!\n\nI\'ve been a fan of the "giant burrito" concept since a little place in Cleveland Heights got me hooked. Well, that place is gone, and replaced by several chains who create such things, but I always like...THE HOMETOWN TOUCH! \n\nOhio City Burrito, it has THAT touch; home made ingredients, made fast, fresh and tasty:) Their "Day of the Dead" ambiance also makes you feel that this place has loads of personality. On top of that, their prices are solid, inexpensive, and if you\'re looking for something decent that\'ll get you through the rest of the day, stop in for one of their amazing burritos that are hands AND feet above the rest! \n\nNow, parking is only street, so make sure you find a good spot, but other than that, all I\'ve gotta say is if you want a burrito that you won\'t pity, stop on in to Ohio City:) The veggie burrito on the menu is really either veggie or bean but not both. If you choose both it will end up being the most expensive burrito. |

I will say, on a college budget you get a lot of good reasonably priced food here. Can it compete with the best of NYC, no of course not but that isn't where you are, is it?\n\nGet a reuben and chase it down with a piece of cheesecake. Go home happy.\n\nQuit whining about how Pittsburgh isn't NYC. Darren has me wanting to watch Seinfeld now. :) I liked this place too for the most part. The pulled pork nachos and the desserts (peanut butter meltaway and 5th dimension cake) are all amazing. My fish and chips were pretty good too. I loved the fries, but the only thing the fish was missing was a little salt. The server was really nice and efficient. I don't know why people are bagging on that or the decor, which I found tasteful. It wasn't dirty in the least either.\n\nGullifty's cheered me up after having had to give away our pit bulls at the Animal Rescue League earlier that day. It was a bad week. 2.5 stars. Came here for desert and we had the key lime pie a chocolate cake. Chocolate cake wasn't bad. Oh, but the key lime pie is rather disappointing. It's very mousse-like and lacking in tart-ness, not something I'd want in a key lime pie. I want something more dense and tart. Boo. Our experience was just plain bad. Our meals took forever to get to us and when they finally arrived, my partner's dish was cold. We were (eventually) able to get our waiters' attention and he took the dish away only to bring it back steaming hot from the microwave such that now the chicken was burning hot, over cooked and chewy. \n\nWe disliked our main meal so much we didn't even bother ordering deserts.\n\nThe place was messy and just had a really poor atmosphere.\n\nWhat really made matters worse was the waiter. You know how you can put up with a lot when the wait staff is really good? Such was not the case at the overrated Gullifuty's. His total attitude was negative, it was like he was doing us a favor waiting on us. We had to continually ask for things - a spoon for the tea, extra sugar, butter for the roll, etc... You could tell he wanted to be anywhere but there. \n\nAfter our experience, so did we. The food is so so but, the desserts are outstanding especially the turtle cheesecake. I would rather eat at The Cheesecake Factory . Personally I don't see what the be deal about this place is. |

Fried oreos.. omgg.. Tell them the Scentsy girls sent you.. Food here is good not great. My kids love the pasta but the sauce can be salty. Pizza is ok - I'm not a NY pizza guy so I don't know how it compares but I didn't think it was impressive. Will go back because it's a middle of the road kind of place that isn't too expensive. My husband and I eat here at least 2 to 3 times a week. They have the best pizza I have ever eaten. The wings are to die for. The owner and his family are super nice people and the staff and waitresses are the most friendly ever. If you want a feel at home, family type Italian restaurant you need to come here. All I can say is "WOW"!! This place is simply awesome, and the food is absolutely delicious!! It\'s without a doubt the best Italian food I\'ve had since moving to NC from the Bronx in 2014.\n\nJoe, the owner, is a very nice man and I had the pleasure of chatting with him for a while when I visited this past week. I was catering a small gathering at my house and decided to order the food listed below to serve at our gathering.\n\n1. Baked Ziti\n2. Penne A La Vodka\n3. Chicken Parm\n4. Chicken Francese\n5. Caesar Salad\n\nAbsolutely EVERYTHING was delicious. Even their Caesar salad dressing was outstanding!!\n\nI am very happy that Mia Famiglia is so close to our home, and we intend on making it our go-to restaurant for delicious Italian Food!!\n\nHighly recommend!! I've done delivery and pickup. Their pizza is good but I really like their hot wings. |

Super fast service and well priced. The atmosphere is really nice for fast food and the food is spectacular. I got the 3 piece combo and they gave me all white meat and it's such a good spice. This is definitely for people who can't stand crowds. Drive thru 30 minutes prior to closing order two chicken strip meals side mashed potatoes and apple pie sopposedly .. Chicken was close to cold fries were cold and old and my pie was a non mf factor . Service was no go , i mean how u complete my order before i finish . u even ask me am i done ?! Ask for sauce for the strips that ended up not in the bag as well.so i call them instantly once in the house and noticing . Being that they were closing surprise they picked up but lady said they would give me an extra pie the following day . After recording my name saying she was gonna leave it in they records so everything is good . Of course i get there two days later they have no knowledge who i am she left nothing lady there was still kind enough to help keep another ladies promise though , We have been here a few times and each time was a pleasant experience. Now, we've never been through the drive through which apparently catches hella flack on here lol but the service inside isn't bad. The place is clean. Bathrooms were clean. This is always a wash you're hands after type of meal. Out of all the fast food chicken joints Popeye's is the best imo especially their red beans & rice and their tea. I also like their biscuits and the fact that the food is always hot. Ordered 5 box of 3 tenders, side & biscuit, sides were fine, as I bit in the chicken tender it was hard chicken, not soft as it should of been, it's was under cooked as if it were still frozen, Yuck, so I can the restaurant & told me if I wanted refund, I had to bring the food all the way back today with my receipt to have it replaced?? First of all why I have to drive the undercooked chicken all the back in order to replace it, & it has to be today, bad customer service, you served bad chicken & all you say is sorry but you have to bring it back, yea NO, i wasted $6.50 & will never eat there again VEHEMENT is putting it mildly!!! I went thru the drive thru of this Popeye\'s while on my lunch break on 4/17/2012. I started watching my calories for health reasons. I must say the lady @ the window assisted me, as she took my order with excellent customer service. So I decided to go back today 4/18/2012 and order the chicken wrap as I did yesterday. It is only a $1.61 nothing at all to pay, when I usually spend over 5 bucks a day for lunch.\n\n But like I stated, I was watching my calories. I pulled in approached the speaker and asked to order a chicken wrap WITH OUT the WRAP ( a heavy, large, flour, tortilla) Which makes up most of the chicken wrap, in addition to the calories. Immediately with out any thought the woman-behind the speaker said "No! We can\'t do that) this was @ 12:30 noon Ironically there were no cars behind me. That should have been a red flag to me. But I was hungry and apparently oblivious too. So I said I would pull forward to the window. \n\nAs I approached the window I repeated the order and the woman said "I told you NO we can\'t do that". My reply was: What do you mean you can do that? \nShe says in her very broken English, You have to buy the chicken strip separately and it will cost you more. @ that point I requested to speak with a member of management. \n\nShe rolled her eyes telling me I am the manager. SMH because I\'m hungry, my lunch is just about over. I didn\'t believe Melissa, because the badge she was wearing did not indicate manager, and her appearance defiantly was not that of a manager over seeing an eatery. \n So I became upset at this point. I asked her what was the problem? mentioning that my request was not rocket science. I didn\'t want anything free. All I wanted was my chicken strip and tablespoon of red beans and rice that come in side of the wrap.\n\nNo more no less. \nShe asked me how is she to prepare that. With tears in my eyes, because I was starving and my time was limited. I said... Look lady, how difficult is it to place a chicken strip and a tablespoon of red beans and rice on the the paper you wrap the wrap in. She says:" well it\'s gonna take four minutes to cook, because you dunt tell me if you want the chicken spicy or mild". Then she request that I park off to the side of restaurant as the chicken cooks. And some one will bring it out,Because customers were behind me.\n\n I asked her what the hell am I? and I refused to move until she gave me my order. Amazingly the chicken strip appeared before my eyes. But the saddest part about it, was after all of the drama ,I returned to work late and hungry.\n\n I was afraid to eat the food Concerned that It may have been tampered with. A word of advise to Corporate and Franchisee alike. I will be sure to spread the news about my Very Poor service at this establishment. With that said, Hopefully the drive thru will continue to look like a ghost town until your business is no more. And when it happens, Just remember the service @ your establishment is POOR, POOR ,POOR : ( |

Excellent food, my Co workers and I stop here for lunch regularly. Prices are excellent and portions are very large. I recommend an extra order of the homemade chips, grilled chicken salad, and the odinator. |

Super fresh. I will definitely be back.\nThey made it, made to order. Ingredients are fresh and they have not been sitting around all day Worst breakfast burrito, the tortilla was burned. I couldn't eat it and had the worst taste in my mouth. I don't know how you mess up something so simple. Surprised at these other reviews Authentic Mexican Food.\nFresh Cooked to order. Restaurant is clean.\nCarne Asada Taco was good. Asked if I wanted fresh quac & pico, " of course"!\nNice salsa bar with three different salsas: Mild (green), regular Hot & Fire ( not a lot of flavor just a lot of heat). Carrots are pickled and tasty and the also offer an onion relish.\nPrice are very reasonable. Will be back to try more of their menu. The 2 stars is for the service; friendly staff and clean restaurant. HOWEVER, food was terrible!! We got guacamole, chips, fish taco, carne asada tacos and fish burritos. We ended up only eating our chips and guac. Fish was dry fried tilapia, carne was undercooked with no seasoning, so disappointing and sad. Really enjoyed my machaca burrito for lunch. I ended up sharing it with my friend because the portion size was too big for one person. I loved the condiment bar, the spicy carrots were perfect. Everyone in the group enjoyed their food and would come back. |

I came with 7 friends and we got the 25lb lobster mountain. It was truly a sight...it was HUGE. I guess for $64 a person, it was quite an experience. The taste was pretty good but quickly got tired of it after having 3-4 of it. It's quite oily and you will feel it afterwards. However, their other dishes are also quite good. Soup was hot and flavorful, the veggies were also great. The fried rice portion was a bit skimpy but it also tasted very flavorful. I also enjoyed the dessert which was a cashew Chinese porridge. OMG!!! \nThis is the best seafood restaurant I had ever tasted in my life\nIt's a bit on the pricey side but it's worth the money \nYou can see the live lobsters and crabs in their water tanks. The server brings your live lobster or crab from the water tank and show you before cooking.\nI ordered lobster dinner for 2 \nIt came with....\n - Soup of the day\n- Lobster fried rice \n- Lobster. My chosen Flavour was salt and pepper \n- Dessert I was lucky enough to be taken here for my birthday a few weeks ago. \n\nMake sure you make reservations! We made reservations for 8pm and when we got there, there was a HUGE HUGE crowd by the door. It took me 3 minutes just to try and push my way through this crowd. I was very thankful we made reservations. \n\nThe turnover rate (as for most Chinese places) is pretty good though, I'd say 30 minutes into our dinner, the crowd was almost all gone. \n\nWe were only a party of 4 so we opted not to go with a combo. (Also, one member of our party is quite a picky eater and doesn't normally go for seafood). We ordered the Hong Kong style lobster, sirloin beef with black pepper sauce, lobster roe fried rice and garlic baby pea shoots.\n\nHong Kong Style Lobster - This was delicious. We told the waitress we wanted 4lbs of lobster for this. She came back with 2 giant 2lbs lobsters. We were really surprised and excited that she opted to give us 2 x 2lbs instead of 1 x 4lbs. Two heads, two tails, 4 claws.. need I explain more? The presentation on this dish was pretty amazing. We almost didn't want to touch it, if it weren't for our stomachs growling at us to destroy this thing. It's covered in deep fried garlic and deep fried little fishies. And of course, if you've read others reviews here, this is a must have when coming here. It's what they are famous for and for good reason.\n\nSirloin Beff with Black Pepper Sauce - We ordered this dish because of the non-seafood eater of the group. This was surprisingly very good. I don't think I was expecting too much from this but the beef was very tender and cooked nicely and the sauce was nice also. Not too peppery. The only drawback is it already came with garlic baby pea shoots and we didn't know so we ordered another plate of that.. but it was good also :)\n\nLobster Roe Fried Rice - This wasn't as great as so many people here raved about. But it was still pretty good. I guess my standards were set a little too high. The roe was deep fried first which I think compromised the flavour a bit. Other than that, this fried rice was pretty standard. \n\nEven though there were only 4 of us, and one didn't even really eat seafood, we still managed to destroy the whole meal, having no leftovers in the end. That says something about the food. This place is pricey, but they give you huge crab and lobster for sure. We got the HK style crab, which has a little spice to it and the dry garlic lobster. I'd say I'd like to try the steamed style next time because the fried style has too much batter for my liking. The lobster was especially delicious though. I'd splurge a little more and get the king crab next time instead of the vancouver crab. Aside from that, the turbot was good and so were the snow pea leaves. The only downside is that you pay through the nose for the food here. The food is good, there\'s no arguing. MSG was probably used as I was thirsty after even with drinking tea through out the course. We had two big tables for lunch and each had a 7-8 lb lobster cooked into the great mountain pile. They show you the live lobster by placing it on the lazy susan in the middle of the table before putting it back into the plastic bin and dragging it off to the kitchen (if you are vegan/vegetarian, you cannot even try to enjoy yourself here- you warned!)\nIt\'s wall to wall tanks of live seafood awaiting their fate and watching their mates get devoured in front of them, so try not to think of this as you enjoy your meal\n=(\n\n anyhoo....Yum! It was like playing lobster Jenga, luckily I didn\'t knock it over, but my brother wanted this one big claw piece and the mountain fell down onto his plate haha.\nThe other table had an issue with their cooking doneness, the claws were too big and they did not cook it well enough, that meat was a clear rubbery mush like sashimi. We inquired to the server about trying to cook up the 2 undercooked claws and they acted like they didn\'t understand english and just cleared the plates away instead. WHAT?! That was rude. So as for service, they do try to pride their selves that this place is more "upper class fine dining" but it\'s just slightly better than a congee wong, or you are lucky with a nice server.\nseating times are booked so they do remind you when your time is up and the next table is arrived to be seated, that you gotta take the party elsewhere. \n\ngreat to try this place once, if you didn\'t feel guilty after then you will be back again. |

Despite that I think he regretted going here again. I know I did! I got a passionfruit green tea this time. Again there was a 25 minute wait for 2 drinks. They got my order wrong too so it ended taking about 35 minutes overall for my drink to come. It was really sweet again.. just as sweet as the first time which makes me wonder if they actually modified the sweetness in my order. Also, the smell and peeling paint were still there. I hope they'd have enough seating for those waiting for take-out. The waiting area was so cramped. We had to decide to sit down, eat and order our take home. \nThe order took more than 40 minutes to be served. A couple behind us cancelled their order and left. \nThey should do something address the wait time for dine-in and take-out. It can't just be all, take, take, take...! Think about ways to improve your customer service wait time. \nThe counter top was also littered with used glasses. It's in the same area where new orders are served. This bubble tea shop offers a huge variety of drinks, cold and hot. It has been a nice place to chill and hang out with friends. However over the years all you can see is that the quality and service has gone down extremely due to the increasing competitors around the area. \n\nI've been here so many times over the years and there is always new staff. The turn over rate of this store is extremely high and the works seem to not know the menu. The service is really slow which means there is always a really long wait. They seem like they are lacking staff. \n\nThis location of bubble republic is so far the worst one. Even though they are extremely busy all the time. The drinks always end up wrong or the flavour is off. Additionally, the place is dirty and is not as clean as it is supposed to be. Sometimes the drinks cups end up being sticky and the tables are not properly cleaned. Other times you get utensils that are not properly washed and have food stuck to it. \n\nI feel like it's better going elsewhere as the drinks and food don't seem too sanitary... After reading a recent review, I was NOT planning to come to Bubble Republic. As luck would have it, I ended up coming here a few days later, albeit only because of a group of Asian friends were desperate for bubble tea in Mississauga...\n\nTheir Blueberry Milk Green Tea had a fruity flavour that kind of stood out and was definitely on the sweet side. It took quite a while to arrive, and in the meantime we were able to change all of our orders to small tapioca balls that were apparently their specialty! Tapioca was quite soft and swallowed easily but that's all I can say was unique about it and not in a good way. At least their fried chicken popcorn had a light crispy batter, and a pleasant salty crunch to each bite. \n\nThis place is located in a popular supermarket plaza just a block north of Square One off the highway. I noticed a lot of people ordered takeout drinks and appeared to be served before our group so maybe that's the way to go. Tried the Oreo chiller. \nIt's like a big kids chocolatey milk shake. \n\nYUMM... but a small would do. :)\n\np.s they have been out of Lychee syrup for a while. This is really making me sad. :(\n\nxoxo\nM. |

If you are a tourist and looking for inexpensive food, yet healthy and wholesome, Naz is the place to go. For $4.99 you get a huge Chicken Shawarma that is packed with several veggies and great sauces. A Must try place to eat. Naz was SO rude!! It was like she didn't even care to serve me even though I was her only customer. Small portions and high prices....way too much salt. Never going there again! Yuck. Don't go there!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID\n\nThe only reason they are still in business is because they have a VERY large drunk clientele from the club area on weekends and some week nights\n\n I live close and go here sometimes bc its open really late weeknights.\n\nfirstly the people who work here are about as RUDE as you get. They act like you are bothering them from watching their tv shows as soon as you walk in \n\nthe shawarma is dry, the vegetables are so basic and not ripe. onions are cut SO thick that they overpower the whole sandwich. \n\nthey charge EXTRA for tabouli !!! actually extra for anything that isnt lettuce, tomato, onion and hummus. \n\nto top it off they DONT EVEN GRILL THE SANDWICHES. they wrap it and serve it to you with a grunt. I'm pretty much the opposite of a falafel connoisseur and my experience with Middle Eastern food is limited to my frequent visits to Naz's - they seem to know what's what. If you want a cheap and quick lunch option then this is a good, no nonsense bet. \n\nThe lady (mom?) who works the counter has a perpetually angry look on her face, like she pooped her pants but doesn't have a clean change of undercrackers, but don't let that scare you away. She's just concentrating on blowing your mind with an amazing falafel.\n\nShe'll serve you up a trio of crispy falafel balls in a pita, load it up with tzatziki, tomatoes, lettuce (or in my case, not) and those weird pickled beets and wrap it up tighter than you could imagine possible. ** 3.5 stars **\n\nAh, shawarmas. The food of university days gone by and late nights out.\n\nIt\'s been ages since I\'ve had one, and the other day I decided I needed a little variety from my normal diet of burrito lunches (I love you, Chipotle, but I need a little space!).\n\nNaz\'s was the one place closest to work, where I could guarantee success on this front.\n\nThe place was empty, except for one other guy sitting there, so I was guaranteed swift service. (Perhaps I just happened to get there during a lull? Or perhaps it gets more business late at night with the club crowd? I dunno.)\n\nThe chicken shawarma I bought was tasty, had just enough spiciness, and was decently priced.\n\nThe only quibble I had was with the woman who works at the counter, as a couple of my fellow Yelpers mentioned a while ago. She was great with my order, and got it in a decent amount of time (since no one else was there). But SO stone-cold. \n\nI could understand her stern expression if the place was packed with hungry lunchtime customers, OR she had to deal with drunk party-goers late at night. But it was around 1 p.m. on a weekday afternoon, and I was stone-cold sober and polite. Despite this, she was stone-faced. She only softened her iron facade when (people I presumed to be) "regulars" came in to orders. \n\nThat\'s fine. But it\'s a little unfair, especially if you **want** to become a regular. Do I have to come in every day for that lady\'s expression to soften? Because I didn\'t get much encouragement. Looks like my next shawarma excursion might be to Quick Pita a bit farther away. Sorry, Naz. |

Nice filet, mashed garlic potatoes and great bread dip. One of the better chain restaurant's even though I don't care much for chains with so many good places to eat. Service was very good. Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Was in the mood for steak and outback was too long of a wait. The steak marsala was over-priced but it's not a steak place but I thought I'd take a chance. An average rating at best. Just had dinner here. Our food was great. From the hot bread, crisp salad, then to my chicken entree which was served hot, it was so good. My husband and I were saying that we've never had a bad meal there. Never a problem which considering some of the restaurants around here is rare. Also had a fabulous waiter Jovancho who was really outstanding. Good job Carrabbas! Took my 4 kids and wife out to dinner and we sat at the pizza bar adjacent to the wood burning oven. Great customer service, especially by the chef who made all the pizza's. Food was hot and very good. No issues or problems. Their menu has a good variety that appeals to both kids and adults. Highly recommend, especially for families! As far as chain Italian joints are concerned, this is one of the top ones out there. About the only other one I like is Bravo, and there aren't many of those out there.\n\nEverything I have had here is good to great. My favorite dish is the Linguini Pescatori (without Mussels) and i also know the Chicken Parm is very good. |

After striking out twice on our orders of Ahi tuna sandwich and Tortellini (the kitchen was out of ahi tuna, sweet potato fries, AND tortellini!), we decided to split the Citrus roasted chicken, which normally comes with "mashed potatoes and sauteed mixed vegetables with a wild mushroom demi-glace"- we opted for a lemon peppercorn sauce. \n\nThank goodness that customers are now served with delicious, and complimentary, table bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, for the entree did take awhile to arrive. No matter- we just asked for more bread! This bread later served as the perfect accompaniment to the terrific lemon peppercorn sauce that came with the chicken dish. I really enjoyed the sauteed mixed veggies. Wished the veggie serving was larger since I couldn\'t partake in the consumption of the mashed potatoes, which my friend said was prepared the way she liked it- perfectly mashed with some chunks (it\'s also the way I used to enjoy my smashed potatoes!). I am slacking. I meant to put in this review a few days ago, but I was in taste shock. It took me a little while to recover from my brush with ecstacy, otherwise listed on the menu as the Sea Bass.\nMy husband had run into Nouveau Bistro while trying to pick up some "to go" from Pasta Pomodoro, which was no longer operating. He was looking for an excuse to go back, and then I had a birthday.\nThe bread is only served upon request. The sangria was alco-loaded and tasty.\nBut the sea bass... there is no other for me. I can say with complete honesty that this is the best fish I have ever had. The pieces were just falling apart on my fork. They refused to leave their delicious sauce to enter my mouth. As I have an unfortunate allergy to mango, they replaced the mango rice with smashed potatoes, which were extremely tasty. The dish also came with sauteed zucchini.\nThe hbski had the bacon- wrapped salmon, minus the bacon. He was impressed with how the fish was a little crunchy on the outside. While the restaurant staff was forthcoming with the recipe, I think we\'ll just leave it there. It was a little complicated for us!\nWe will be back for desert some time. The staff and the ambiance were welcoming. They are holding out for that fifth star. I\'ll have to go again when the whole staff isn\'t in training so I can see what they can really do.\nStay tuned... We had our Holiday Team Lunch here today, the boss, myself and Monty. The boss didn\'t like it right off the bat because it was too fou fou for him, he said they probably serve tiny portions, so I suggested he go to claim jumper :o)\n \nWell, no luck there, so he ordered the Ahi Tuna sandwich, looked like he enjoyed it cuz he scarfed it down in record time and got it all over his face. But he said it was "okay". It looked really good served on ciabatta bread.\n\nBoth Monty and I had the Mafaldine (Mah Fal DEEN aye), of course I pronounced it MAH-FALL-DYNE like a dumb ass. Whatever, not like I\'m going to impress anyone with my pronunciation skills.\n\nI liked it very much, penne pasta in a lobster cream sauce with shrimp, and 2 asparagus spears, served with a tiny bit of pepper relish, which was sorta pickley tasting and refreshing. I loved the sauce, it had a bit of a kick to it. The asparagus was crisp tender, just the way I like it. And the shrimp perfectly cooked. It was a good lunch portion. \n\nWe also were served the rosemary bread and did not have to request it as others have stated. Maybe NB have been reading these reviews? \n\nThe waitress was ok. Got everything out to us and all, but in these hard economic times I expect to have VERY warm wait staff and to feel like my business is appreciated. They should really turn the customer service UP A FEW NOTCHES, especially knowing what happened to Pasta Pomodoro! \n\nI would like to go back, their menu has some really nice stuff on it, I just hope the wait staff is a little nicer, well at least that waitress. The other waiter seemed really friendly... :o( Good, attentive service...Warm (well, a little chilly in temp, but cozy) ambiance...Good food.\n\nHad a little ladies lunch out and here is what we enjoyed:\n\nShrimp and Goat Cheese Melt - It was good, lots of shrimp and lots of goat cheese - kinda oily.\nSalmon with Wild Blueberry Sauce - GREAT salmon for the price - blueberry sauce was really tasty\nBeef Short Rib - Very, very tender beef. Fell apart on the fork (good thing) with the most amazing mustard molass sauce reduction thing. \nCitrus Crusted Chicken - Pretty good for a chicken dish. Superb mashed potatoes.\n\nDessert - pretty tasty chocolate/caramel fondue - came with very fresh fruit. The pastries (breads) to dip could have been fresher. The fondue could have stayed hotter.\n\nAll in all, this may have sounded like a critical review - but I really enjoyed the experience. I just think this place has A LOT of potential, so I hope that the owners are reading Yelp and being responsive to customer feedback. I'm giving it four stars...But it's currently sitting at a 3 1/2 with room to grow.\n\nOh! And we got our bread...The waiter told us it didn't have rosemary - it has a lot of spices, but not rosemary. It's good and he kept it coming. Thanks! This little dandy caught my eye the other night, and of course, me thinking it was "French" I put on my big boy pants and expected to be WOWED. \n\nI was not wowed. \n\nDon\'t get me wrong. The restaurant was clean and pleasant to be in, and the service was good. The food however was..... so so. I ordered a salmon dish on recommendation from the owner (or the man as a perceived as the owner... he was a nice little Asian guy ^_^ ) It came with a salad that had a nice, sweet vinaigrette that tasted of ginger. But no bread. None. \n\nI need bread. I\'m a chunky white man. Bread good. Where bread go? \n\nto continue:\n\nWhen I got my main course, I found that my salmon was a bit over cooked, and the sauce they had placed over the fish was ice cold. :( Now here\'s the thing; The sauce may need to be served cold and I\'m a tard for saying otherwise. Lemmie tell ya though, I don\'t do hot meat and cold sauce. I\'m either all hot, or all cold - there is no in between. It\'s just how I roll. Anyway... The salmon was edible, but nothing to rave over, and the sauce was cold, but kinda tasty. The potatoes were delish.. I\'m hard pressed to find a potato that I don\'t like, but these were fresh, "smashed" red skin potatoes and I enjoyed them very much. :) \n\nAll in all, it may be worth another shot, but I\'d have to be convinced to go back. Or have Megan Fox INSIST I bring her here. yeah.. that would work. |

They also have vegetarian option! Definitely worth the money!!! Baked potatoes are AMAZING!!! I've been to three locations. Yorkdale, King station and Eaton center. To be honest, I love shawarma, good shawarma makes me feel like to eat it everyday and never get tired of it. Among the three locations. The one at king station is the best, the potatoes are well seasoned, the rice is cooked perfectly, the tabuli has all the flavor it has to have. The chicken is flavorful and tender. The worst one is the Eaton center one. I'd comment this location as someone doesn't know how to cook shawarma. The meat has no flavor, the potatoes are completely bland. The rice is over cooked, it's really soggy and doesn't have taste. Plus they are not generous with shawarma sauce. I'm kinda disappointed with it but it's food court, what can I expect ? If you really have a craving for Shawama, don't go to this location as you won't be satisfied with your craving. Very rude customer service. The food quality was ok (slightly below average). I got the chicjen shawarma plate. Would never go there again. Poor customer service. Staff are rude / display attitude / have poor tone with customers. When paying, the staff member tried to put in an amount directly into the debit machine without ringing it on the register. When I asked "how much?" and looked at the screen to indicate I was waiting for him to properly ring it in (the amount he put into the debit machine was wrong sure enough), he (had glasses on) acted as if I was the problem and then passed me onto another cashier, who I then needed to remind that my order was to go and ask for a bag 3 times before she\'d give me one. Had late night soup/noodle bowls here. Good quality food and low price. Well worth going to again but the competition and selection at the food court in Eaton center is top notch. |

The service is excellent. The food tastes good and the prices are reasonable. This is my favorite go to restaurant. The breakfast is very good with just the right amount of menu items. Dinner is great too!! The menu may not be very big but this tells me one thing, the food is fresh!! The bigger the menu the more your food comes from the freezer! The burgers are very good, their French onion soup is one of the best around!!! The French fries are fresh cut and crispy. The flat breads are delicious. You should give it a try!! The service is great too!!! I had the lobster & shrimp pasta. It was great. The Cobb salad was very good, too. Service was slow, but the place was packed and there was a waiting line. Prices were pretty good. It has a small town quaint feel inside. Everyone we interacted with was very pleasant and courteous. Mary was an excellent server. The food was great. I love this place and come here whenever I am in the area. We had a big group so I was able taste a lot!\n Generous portion of lightly fried yummy cheese curds. Great buffalo cauliflower appetizer.\nI really like the lemon chicken pasta, my husband had the Walleye and ate every bite. I asked for a doggiebag so we could try their cheesecake..we had key lime,( I think it changes monthly) and the table shared the brownie sundae. Both Amazing! |

I love their Torta Cubana, and "shrimp cocktail" They also have some "gringo" food items for the less adventurous. But if you come go big get something you\'ve never had before! Please comment and follow me for more reviews! I would love to have you! Good food, but what I love the most is that they have soups all week long!!! The best menudo in town! Came here with my 8 year old before a show at Mesa Arts Center, and the young man was easily bilingual which was good for this gringo. He took our order and we got our drinks. I had basic carne asada and the kid had bean and cheese burrito. It took a few minutes but it was all tasty and cheap. Everyone was very nice. Good meat on my burrito. Nothing too stringy or cooked wrong. I'd stop back. We were in Mesa at the Mesa Performing Arts center and decided we deserved a nice breakfast burrito. \n\nWe decided to be adventurous and set down the street and found El Grullo Restaurant. When we parked, the lot was busy which is always a great sign. We entered and walked toward the counter and noticed there was a great deal of choices. Which is also a good thing. We decided to order two egg, potato, and cheese breakfast burritos. There was a bar set up for salsa and other fixings. Everything looked fresh and delicious. \n\nNow, if you read my other posts, you will know that I am an avid breakfast burrito eater. That being said, our burritos were delicious. They were hot and the tortilla was amazing. They are large too. I cut mine in half and shared with my daughter. She thought it was good too and she's a picky eater. \n\nHands down, this place was fantastic. I am glad that we ventured in. Another recommendation from my fine hotel staff. These two old Sikh's got their thumb on the pulse of the local eats hands down. \nBut, I can get Mexican food anywhere at home in Sacramento, but they said this place is very authentic and always busy...give it a try. That part of of Mesa is lined with Mexican food dives on both sides of the street. I guess I'll see what sets this place apart from the rest.\nWell, it did NOT disappoint. I had a chicken burrito & enchilada combo plate that came with beans and rice. The taste was NOT that of the typical dime a dozen Mexican food joints...it was quite different to my taste buds and a breath of fresh air for that something different. It was hands down some of the best Mexican food I've had in a LONG time and understood what set this place apart from the rest. I'll be sure to put this dive on the keeper list for any future visits to Mesa...or my possible relocation. |

This is the first time o the Asian Legend franchise and I can say I was disappointed. I ordered the Siu Long Bao which is the quintessential Northern Chinese dish. Unfortunately I wasn't able to introduce my son to my Chinese heritage because it never arrived. By the time I noticed they stopped bringing dishes to our table, it was too late. He was full and I wasn't going to eat all 6 by myself. The food was actually not salty, but underwhelming. I expected a lot more flavour for the price. Probably won't come back to this location but might try the others as I'm searching for the Siu Long Bao that I remember from my youth. I came here on Good Friday because I was craving Shanghai noodles. The lineup to wait was about half an hour to seat two people. They were extremely busy and understaffed with a host and two servers running around. The noodles were very oily but the pork and cabbage dumplings were just OK. Service was pretty bad. I couldn't flag down a server and had to walk up to get bowls and the bill. I would not come back due to the extreme lack of service. Parking was also bad in the Metro Square plaza as limited space. This is one of our family go to places for Shanghainese/Northern Chinese food. Most dishes are consistently good and portions are great. They also have a good variety of dishes on their menu. Service is pretty good too. I'm not unfamiliar with Asian Legend - excluding this one, I've been to three of their other locations (Vaughan, North York at Leslie/Finch, and Scarborough). I've not the most discerning palate to distinguish between all of the different locations (unlike some of my friends), but I do know that this Markham location stands out - frankly, my experience here was the worst out of all of them.\n\nWe ordered a number of different items: a lamb dish, the Peking/Beijing duck, mapo tofu, an eggplant dish, green beans, and some veggies. \n\nThe two meat dishes were good. The lamb was a touch salty but it was masked by the spice, so that wasn't a big deal. Unfortunately, this didn't apply to the rest of the dishes. The mapo tofu barely had any kick to it and its flavour was predominantly salt. The eggplant and green beans were so salty and oily that I was tempted to rinse it off in the tea. Again, I'm no stranger to Asian Legend or northern cuisine, I can handle food that's heavier on the sauces/seasonings, but this location was overboard. Even some of my companions, who normally like Asian Legend, shared the same sentiments. The highlight of the meal was the dessert soup that came with the meal at the end. It was taro based and very good. \n\nService was ok, more or less standard for a Chinese restaurant. Servers all seemed to have decent mastery of the English language in case you're wondering (that's noteworthy in Markham). Food arrived fairly quickly though they did forget one of our dishes and claimed to us that all of the food had arrived when it in fact had not. The location is also very small compared to the other Asian Legends, and they are pretty busy, so if you are going to come with a large group, your best bet is to make a reservation.\n\nPrices are slightly higher than most Chinese restaurants and the portion sizes can't be considered generous. If the food quality was there, they could justify the premium, but it wasn't. I am surprised that this asian legend didn't have more review. Good or bad it should have more people talk about it.\n\nAbout 90% of my visit are take-out, usually done with a telephone order to avoid waiting. a 4 star place for us.\nThis time we dine in. \n\nwe ordered the lunch special.\nPork Chops with Special Salt & Pepper on Rice\nBraised Pork with Preserved Vegetable on Rice\nKung Pao Chicken on Rice\n(price and additional info please refer to the picture)\n\nto start the meal, we were served 2 bowls of soup.\nas we were trying to taste it, we wonder if we should get 3 bowls of soup (as we ordered 3 special)\nonce we finished the first bowl (it's really small when you share), we try to ask the waitress about it when we start to attack the second bowl.\n(it's not really flavorful, but nothing else to eat or do...)\n\nafter our meal is here, the 3rd soup finally arrives.\nbut it's a totally different looking soup.\nthe once we got before was a clear soup with tiny vegetable bits floating in it.\nthe 3rd one we got was in like a beef broth color soup base with a un-appetizing cloudiness to it. \nafter we stir it a few times, seems to us that it's the same soup but really like an attempt to wash the bin to get one last bowl out.\n\nafter that, we just quickly finished our food and left.\n\nI mean, if you don't have the soup, suggest some else for us, or just sub it with a drink or something. don't give us dish washing water... |

Located across the street from Hawthorne Pizza, Sabor is a neighborhood golden nugget. Despite the diner look, the food is clearly homemade and cooked with care. The grilled tofu burrito is absolustely delicious. They soak the tofu in ranchero sauce and everything is perfectly balanced. Smokey flavor from the grill, fresh rice, beans are spiced to perfection along with the guac adding a layer of freshness. {Long sigh}...I hate to do this but...not the best. I finally found time to check "my people\'s" food. Empanada, arepa..I was excited. Pet peeve number one when eating out: greet me like you are excited to have my business! The older cashier guy looked like he\'d rather be home eating real food than taking my order. I put my order in..fast forward to eating it. The empanadas were WAY. TO. FRIGGING. BIG. They put a whole pound of meat in it. You\'d think why am I complaining? With an Empanada you gotta have balance not put a whole cow in it. Arepas: It was an arepa sandwich! Two arepas again, with the amount of chicken they put on it you couldve made two huge subs! And the burrito...Im sorry, where is the tortilla? Or is this just all chicken?! The taste wasnt bad but you get turned off wondering: How can they afford to give out so much meat...{shutters}. I hear they are known for their tacos...and its also in the Elizabeth area, hipster heaven. So Im assuming thats who they cater to because if they are trying to show off original Latin style plates, they failed. Besides, tacos and arepas are from two completely different cultures...just saying. Im pretty heart broken about this one. Sorry, wont go again. Good food for a good price. Easily one of the best lunch spots in the area. It can be busy, and the space isn't that large, but I haven't encountered any problems with being unable to get a seat.\n\nThe Monday lunch special is the best, $6 for a 3 Amigos burrito and a drink. It's pretty hard to beat that considering the burrito you get is really, really big.\n\nIf you haven't eaten here before, it is worth giving a shot. Almost a weekly stop for me. Can't go wrong with the nachos.....they're HUGE and are made with quality ingredients. Barbacoa is hit or miss, but when it's a good batch it's reallyyyyyy good. Pineapple habanero salsa is a must try. |

The salmon tartar was tasteless which is strange since she asked me if I wanted it spicy and I said yes. I had to ask for salt to add to it. I ate it but only because I was very hungry. The spare ribs were decent as were the dumplings. I won't be going back. Went to the restaurant because of the good reviews and close location to hotel. I will admit that the hot ginger mixed drink was really good. That being said 40 minutes and no food. Asked about it and it took 15 minutes for waitress to come back and tell us we're next for food. Decided to go some where else with better service. Came here for dinner with my boss, very nice food. Waitress asked too many times if we were ok to pay for cranberry and club soda as two drinks when combined (she asked 3 times) but that was the only annoying thing otherwise a very nice dinner General Tsao tofu is excellent, sweet and flavorful. Singapore noodles with tofu was good but spicier than expected (for a dish not advertised as spicy). |

Hawaain volcano and 4hourse men of the apocalypse are my favorite sauces. My onion rings were perfect golden texture and delicious. Everything was made to order and the staff was really nice! Food was very fake, rather have popeye's church's. Had onion rings that had minced onion in it, nasty. Mashed potatoes made from powder. Employees asked us how it was and when we lied and said it was good you could hear them chuckling about it like really. Won't be back there again. Let me start by saying very good customer service! I won a better for wings and being from the place where the chicken wings originated I take my Wings seriously ! Great Flavor, I had honey BQ and mild, limited flavor choices and the wings are small, that's why the flour breading was recommended to add mass. I'll try the fried chicken meal next for the real test !!! P.S. they have Great donuts for dessert ! Lastly it's in the neighborhood ! Got to LOVE IT! Go checkum out for your self !!! I truly wanted to love this place after all the 5-star reviews on Yelp. One day when we had a hankering for fatty, greasy, football type of food, rather than order from our usual wings place , we opted to try the chicken here. Wings and chicken strips done , 'Louisiana' style ? We thought, 'Why not?' We ordered the wings which were actually good and big! Very saucy , but definitely not the usual, 'buffalo style' one may be used to. My chicken strips, were again, HUGE! Here's the reason I'm giving a two star. These chicken strips tasted as though old oil was used for the frying prep of their cooking. You know that, 'old, sitting around, rancid, been used and fried too many things too many times in this oil', taste ?? That is all I could taste. I did eat a couple of them after I , 'Louisiana'd' them up with my own New Orleans spices. But I ended up tossing the rest. The idea is awesome because there are also donuts here too! Drive thru is a little less than efficient , but I'm assuming that's because everything is made-to-order and that's okay. But that oil taste and the fact that my chicken that I wanted to splurge on so bad ... just missed the mark on taste. Wings -6 out of 10 Chicken Strips 0-10 I order the chicken and I like the spices in the batter with a little spicy kick. Their food is great though the food takes long. I'm guessing the 2 times I've been here they cook to order sometimes they have chicken available though most of the time they have to cook it. |

Very much like Tuna Poke but with a Mexican twist. Will be back! Hm. Came here for mac n cheese week, and we were promised the entree would be too much for one person to finish (it was $17). Basically a burrito with mac n cheese and brisket inside. I understand why they said that, because it was terribly greasy. Tasty, but definitely not worth the price. The shrimp and chorizo tacos were pretty artesan, but then again, a bit too small.\n\nWe came without a reservation, so they said we had to leave by a certain time. Service was alright, they weren't rushing us, but they kept asking if we wanted drinks. \n\nSeating was also not ideal, the bar stools didn't give us much space to put our bags and coats...or lean back. Update \n\nWent on margarita Sunday which is $6.00 and shots are $8.00 if you're in the mood to party.\n\nFood isn't cheap and a bit to over priced for what it is. $15 dollars for a plate of 3 small tacos isn't ideal but I do have to give it them flavours wise its good.\n\nSalad was $15 which was not big for what it was. Avocado and cherry tomatoes with guacamole smeared on the bowl and a dash of crumbled feta. I wouldn't get it again as it's not worth it.\n\nFriendly service and a great vibe going on inside. Wish the location was a bit bigger as it feels up quickly. I came here because my friend recommended it. It was very packed and we were not able to sit out on the terasse. We ended up inside. I ordered calamaris, chili and a pi\xc3\xb1a colada. Ughh they definitely did the pi\xc3\xb1a colada wrong they used agave syrup which is not what you put in a classic pi\xc3\xb1a colada :/ you usually use cocnut milk or cream and i didnt taste that at all. Pretty disappointed with that! \n\nThe service: was a little slow but super friendly\n\nThe food: The calamaris were really delicious that I can tell you! The chilli was great a little too spicy for me but very Delicious ! I love that white drizzle on top it had a sweet kick to the the chilli.\n\nOverall, it's a cute little resto but I believe there are better taco places in montreal. I don't think I'll be back. The pi\xc3\xb1a colada really turned me off because it wasn't the original classic ingredients that were used. This place has a nice terrasse during summer to chill with friends or coworkers. The service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. \n\nAs for the food, the nachos are awesome ( we tried the chicken and chili nachos). Their tacos are good but not the best. |

The menu constantly changes so there's always novelty, and service is always 5 stars in my books.\n\nWe ordered a bottle of VDF Anjou Melodie en Sous-sol by Jerome Lambert (white wine), and it was nothing like what we've tasted before. Rather on the sweet side, but just dry enough to hit the spot. I may be wrong, but i dont think any of their wines can be found in the SAQ. The past few times we've been, none of the bottles had sulfite in it, and you really taste the difference.\n\nConsidering that the food changes often, it's rather irrelevant for me to describe my appreciation for them. There are only 3/5 dishes that we ordered that i'd comment on:\n- celeri rave homard: we took it for the lobster description, but it's not at all what it seems; i'd give it 3/5\n- betteraves bottarga: it was awesome! Such simple ingredients, but made delicious. 4/5\n- saving the best for last: esturgon fum\xc3\xa9, gnocchi fritti. This dish was off the hook, gnocchi being a kind of light bread. 5/5\n\nVin Papillon is always a pleasant experience, and service is always very elegant, polite, on point, and feeling all Gucci. Easily one of the best meals I've ever had. Eat here, if you have the opportunity. I highly recommend the ham with shaved cheese. Likewise, if it's on the menu when you visit, the grilled duck heart was phenomenal. Been to Joe Beef and had to go to VP .. we did chefs table for 10 and they just kept bringing food and wine until we were stuffed. We had mostly vegan fare.. eggplant caviar (no caviar), beet salad, Brussels sprouts .. we did have the short ribs and the ham and cheese with brown butter and black pepper (a must!). For sure it's worth the hype. Service is amazing. We came in for wine before our Joe Beef reservation - being a wine bar and restaurant owner myself, I was really curious about the list. The wines by the glass were interesting and it's not always easy to find such delicious natural wines but all 4 that we had were terrific! We shared 2 small plates too, the dried sausage with smoked cheddar, and the tomato and shrimp salad - both were awesome. Our server/bartender Jeanne was excellent, she really knows her wines, super friendly, gave us some great recommendations of which dishes to order at Joe Beef, and when we went to Joe Beef, she sent us a round of a really nice ros\xc3\xa8. Great experience and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Montreal! Another restaurant from the owner of Joe Beef and Liverpool house. The same incredible good food and outstanding selections of wines. The food comes in "large" tapas size plates. The variety of different food plates is also very good so something for everyone. An expansion is underway with the restaurant taking over a recently vacated space. Hopefully this will mean they will take reservations when they have the larger space. Only bad thing is wine was pricey. Can\'t wait to return! |

There\'s a lot to love about this quick but hearty Mex Grill. I love walking in seeing that the guys standing in the open kitchen are roasting peppers and chopping tomatoes for their salsa bar. A lost art most would say in a place that seems like could be your typical chain, quick fix, "Fresh Mexican Food"... \n\nThe two owners are buddies as the name proclaims and they are a friendly bunch. The food though is why this place is a small gem in the NW Valley. The Burritoes are huge and would challenge Chipotle\'s size, but also put to shame the cold taste you get from Chipotle\'s burritoes, from ingredients sitting out cold like a Subway line... \n\nThe Burrito Especial is really good which has big pieces of shrimp and some nice chunks of zucchini. The steak served in their burritoes is also very impressive, nice grilled taste and definately not chewy. \nThe sides are generous when you get a combo and the salsa is nice and fragrant. \n\nOverall this is a great place to eat, period. The three flat screens hung up high always have football games on, on weekends. Awesome food that cooked right next to dining area has never seemed to dissapoint us. So I've eaten here once before and ordered the veggie burrito and it was goodt. Last night we were in the area so we stopped in and I ordered the same thing (I'm a vegetarian so it's somewhat limited what I can eat there.\n\nThe menu states the veggie burrito as this: Rice & Beans (Pinto or Black), Jack & Cheddar Cheese, Roasted Peppers, Zucchini, Corn, Tomatoes & Onions, Sour Cream, Jalapeno Cream Salsa & Lettuce\n\nI ordered mine without rice as it has chicken broth and black beans. when I got home and started eating it, all I could find in it was black beans, a little cheese, grilled green peppers and onions. None of the other veggies listed above.\n\nNeedless to say, I think I'll stick with Qdoba or Chipotle for fast food mexican. We really liked this place. I got the grande burrito with zuchinni & peppers i it which was really good. Loved their carne asada and the prices were great. I wish they ha more on their dessert menu. Would love home made churros! Staff was friendly. Would for sure go here again. Much better than baja fresh, rubios, tace bell & most other mexican places around PHX that we've been to. I was ready to try Dos Amigos out for lunch today, but the place has closed down. I can cross this restaurant off my list without actually eating here! |

Ladies and Gents, my review:\n\nGood: \n-Great condition. Greens and fairways are well kepy.\n-Fairly forgiving. I love playing a desert course made for the average player.\n\nBad: \n-No driving range\n-No gps, but...eh...is a value course\n-Hard to find. Needed to pull out my sundial and compass to triangulate my position.\n\nUgly:\n-Marshall on us 5 times. Total time: 4:20. We were somewhat slow due to the fact that we had our other twosome play from the womens tees. I have nothing against the ladies, but the marshall should know that it takes an average of 90 seconds to get back in your cart and have the other group tee off!\n-The caddies that helped clean our tees, which we generously tipped, made remarks Charlie Sheen would be proud of: said we played a 4:30 round (when it was 4:20), argued about the marshall pushing us, and overall was focused on proving some unknown point to a paying customer!\n\nSuggestion: \n-Don't play here! Rude service with a locals only attitude. I felt like i was surfing on somebodys turf. Out of towners beware...you are not welcomed...except for your benjamins!\n\nOn to Legends Trail! One of the most fun rounds of golf I've played in a long time. Some challenging features, but plays pretty easy. Fairways were immaculate! Beautiful course, and they wiped down my clubs after my round (never had that happen anywhere else). Most definitely worth the very reasonable green fee, and I'll play here again if I ever find myself in Scottsdale again! Played here today for the first time. Every single person we encountered was wonderful! Two of our foursome were a bit late & they adjusted us no problem even though they were sold out until noon. The staff in the pro shop & bar were wonderful. The felt immediately comfortable there & had a great round of golf. The course has is great for amateurs, I only lost one ball. I'm not sure why this course gets such a low rating. This is a fine golf course. It is in excellent condition. The front nine is somewhat boring as it is basically straight out and straight back. The back nine offers a little more challenge and a few more interesting holes.\n\nA warning to walkers: The front nine is easily walked, but the back nine is tough as there are VERY long stretches from green to tee.\n\nI played it on 11-24-11 in the first group of the day. The greens were pretty slow, but that was probably because there was a heavy dew that morning and the greens were still pretty wet. As they dry out during the day, they probably run a little faster, but will still be just moderate speed greens.\n\nIt's a straightforward course, with no tricks off the tee. The 10th hole is a sharp dogleg right with a blind tee shot. Other than that, you can see the shot you need to hit from every tee box. The finishing hole is a moderate, downhill Par 3 over water. Beautiful golf hole. SLOW PLAY- played there twice this week and never saw a ranger. Fridays round took 5 hours and 20 minutes and we only got 17 holes in. Played Sunday and expected a slow round but not another 5 he ordeal. Never saw a ranger and it seems slow play is the norm. Course is fun and open enough to be forgiving |

Usually this place has great food & service; I was surprised today. While placing our order lady manager comes over and interrupts cashier, asking her to change soup sign, when a line of customer waits to place order, WTH!! Finally sit down and guy sitting next to us is so pissed off , because his pancake order has gone missing. They finally get his order, but customer is still obviously upset. Then as we sit having breakfast they are scrambling to find another order. I don't know what happened here but they better get there act together. Can someone please tell me why this place is packed everyday? The sandwiches are ok, but not great, none of the soups are impressive, it's incredibly overpriced, the pastries are good and they actually do pasta better than they do anything else there. I don't get it, maybe it's an Arizona loyalty thing. Had the BLT Plus. While it was fairly tasty, mainly due to the great bread, it was the saddest BLT I\'ve had in a long time. Maybe 2 slices of bacon, mostly on one half of the cut sandwich, couple of slivers on the other side. The "avocado spread" looked like a couple of tbsps total, only on the middle of the bread - a good three qtr inch was dry all the way around. Finally, the chips, while also tasty, were all crumbs from the bottom of the bag. In contrast, the person I was eating with, had a huge pile of roast beef on his sandwich but had to scrap off the massively slathered on mayo. It didn\'t appear that anyone looked at or cared what these dishes looked like - sad. First time here and the cashiers Brianna and Brandon gave the best customer service!! They were so prompt and kind taking our orders, def will be going back! Borderline terrible. I had their veggie breakfast frittata and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was returned twice, then I gave up realizing that this place didn't have a clue what they were doing. The frittata was edible, but looked like snorting you would get from a hospital cafeteria. The home fried potatoes were gross. Worse than anything you would buy from the frozen isle at a truck stop. \n\nCompletely not worth ever going back. |

OMG, their cheese and onion enchiladas are superb!! You pay a buck for chips and salsa, but that's worth it to me. There are so many mexican places that serve weird hot sauce with their chips instead of real salsa, and this place had great salsa, so I'll pay the buck! Sometimes the service is a little slow, but always polite, and the food is always fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean, and the seating is casual and comfortable with both booths and tables. Excellent authentic Sonoran Mexican food! \n#1 fan of their tamales and fresh tortillas!!!!! \n\nFriendly service.\nSmall place and quite busy.\nSo, be patient if you're willing to wait for the food; otherwise, take your impatient self to one of those large restaurant chains. This is a nice little place on 7th. Kinda set back and easy to miss.\nThe people are so friendly. The service is fast and\nthe food was pretty good!\nThe price was pretty high!\n 2 tamales and a pepsi came to over $18.\nThat's not cheap for lunch.\nNext time i'll just get a couple of tacos... \nIt's a nice relaxing place for good Mexican food. Disappointing experience with beef machaca and scrambled eggs (special #11). One would expect the spicy beef to stand out in contrast with the scrambled eggs, but the machaca had no flavor. The dish also included fresh jalape\xc3\xb1os which did not add significant flavor. Refried beans and chips were very good. Horchata was terrific. |

Their pre made sushi in the fridge is always fully stocked. Combo F is my favourite.The service is always friendly and they are pretty quick on the made to order. I eat at this location a lot and only one time the avocado was so hard I couldn't eat it but they made me new rolls right away with no questions asked. Out of all the sushi shops in the West Island this one is my favourite. Cette succursale Sushi Shop se d\xc3\xa9marque r\xc3\xa9ellement de ses consoeurs. Le service y est hors pair. Je suis venu ici tard en soir\xc3\xa9e, 15 minutes avant la fermeture. J'ai command\xc3\xa9 deux combos sushi pour apporter avec quelques extra pour ma conjointe. Malgr\xc3\xa9 l'heure tardive, et malgr\xc3\xa9 les exigences particuli\xc3\xa8res de ma copine, les 2 employ\xc3\xa9s se sont ex\xc3\xa9cut\xc3\xa9s avec sourire et rapidit\xc3\xa9, allant jusqu'\xc3\xa0 me faire quelques suggestions pour agr\xc3\xa9menter notre repas. Les sushis \xc3\xa9taient frais et d\xc3\xa9licieux. L'int\xc3\xa9rieur du resto \xc3\xa9tait d'une propret\xc3\xa9 sans faille. La d\xc3\xa9coration est zen. Il y a m\xc3\xaame une petite carte des vins qui offre quelques bouteilles de blanc, dont quelques une en petit format. Super! Dommage que cette succursale se trouve un peu trop loin de chez moi sinon, j'y reviendrais souvent. 2.5 **\nThe location is actually really nice. They have a large seating area and it is very clean. The problem was how long it took to get the food. For fast food, it took around 25 minutes to get our poke bowls. We called to order 2 poke bowls when we were about 15 minutes away and were shocked when we arrived to find out that it was still not ready. I found the portion to be standard. We ordered one bowl without seaweed and they just didn't put on either. Not the biggest deal but we didn't realize until after we left. Overall, the food was fresh but the long wait time takes away from the convenience of fast food. I love love love Sushi Shop! Do not mistake this for a fast-food sushi place where all you'll find is stale sushi made ahead & placed in fridges. Although you will find that (not stale though), and it's pretty good, if you have time for a proper sit-down meal, you will be pleasantly surprised to find some of the better sushi in the city. \n\nHere are my favourites:\n- 911\n- Sweetheart \n- Philly\n- Saumon \xc3\xa9pic\xc3\xa9\n- Inferno\n- Smoky\n\n(All of that costs about $50 tax-in). \n\nThis sushi is seriously GREAT. \n\nI have but one complaint about the restaurant, and that is that it's sub-zero in there. And I mean like, arctic-cold. Year round. In summer, I have to bring a sweatshirt. And in winter, nothing will do. Tonight I had to wear my jacket, a huge scarf around my head and neck, and leather mitts (not the easiest to eat with chopsticks but kudos to me, I did it!). They actually have air conditioning going all year round. A constant cold blast of air coming from the vents, which you can't avoid no matter where you sit. I truly don't get it. \n\nSpeaking of sitting, they have some cute little tables with comfy couches and arm chairs to sit in... There are only a handful of tables in the place, but never more than 1-2 tables are occupied when I've been here. I think a lot of people do take-out. \n\nAnyway, dress for the North Pole and head over to this sushi shop and you'll walk away cold on the surface but warm on the inside from having had some seriously tasty eats. |

Specials vary daily, I love the curry, but everythings good to me. A large will give me plenty for some lunxh and then save the rest for dinner. The operators are Japanese, so the cooking is very authentic and yummy, but I lived in Japan for a while so I am biased. They are really friendly there, knew me by face after 2 visits, & help me with conversational Japanese a lot while still having fast (under 1min)service time; whih is vital if rushing to catch the bus or between class. I've never had a bad meal there and only dissapointment is when they've run out of whatever I craved early, but thats hardly thier fault. Remember to get there early if you want to be sure to get your large stew or curry or your favorite, sometimes they do sell out. Also, if chopaticks arent visible, just ask; they have them. \nIm not sure if its still there as I havent been in a while, but ask about getting a card: You put your name on it, it gets marked each time(You may need to remember to get it from the box), after X orders, free lunch! \nIf you dont see it right away, look for the origami cranes. Thats it, ittadakimasu! This Japanese food cart on Library Mall is a delight. It's one of my go-tos when it appears on the mall, and it should be one of yours. There are always three specials that rotate, as well as consistent salmon and other types of big hand-rolled sushi rolls. \n\nI absolutely love their Japanese curry, whether it's beef or chicken. Japanese curry can be tough to find in a restaurant setting, which is a shame because it's so delicious. I like Zen Sushi's style, which means the sauce is thick, brown and a little sweet with an undercurrent of heat. It contains meat, potatoes, green beans, carrot, and corn on top of rice. You can get it in a small or large size, as well as with the other specials ($5-7). The chicken donburi was really good, too. I've only had the sushi rolls once and wasn't wowed, but that was a year ago and maybe they're better than I remember. The cart has Pepsi products for beverages.\n\nWhat makes this cart shine is its exceptional customer service. The lady always makes me feel like she remembers me, always smiling with pleasant conversation, asks if I'd like chopsticks or a fork with a bag, and she's happy to check off the little customer card when I come through. She's wonderful.\n\nThis cart isn't the most consistent on Library Mall. Sometimes it's there daily for a few weeks, and then it will disappear for a few weeks or months on end. So, grab 'em while you can. Started to go for lunch right before graduation and it was a big regret. Great place. Will absolutely miss the Japanese lady! For those who don't know, Zen Sushi is a food cart that usually parks itself, with all the other carts, in the Memorial Library pedestrian mall - the block of State Street immediately west of Lake Street. Zen Sushi, and all the other carts, are generally there between 11-2 Monday-Friday.\n\nAnd it is one of my favorites.\n\nWhen it shows up.\n\nPro tip: Check the cart's Facebook page before heading down there. They're prone to absences and likely won't show up at all if it's raining, windy, cool, etc. They also disappear for days/weeks at a time, but they're pretty good at updating Facebook to indicate their whereabouts and the day's specials.\n\nDespite the cart's unpredictable presence, the food and service are great. The sushi is fresh and delicious, but where the cart absolutely shines are the Japanese stews. The traditional Japanese curries (not as spicy and a totally different vibe than Indian or SE Asian curries) are wonderful, and the Nagasaki Chicken stew with crunchy noodles is probably one of my favorite cart items ever. In addition, the woman who staffs the cart is probably the friendliest, most polite person in the world. \n\nPro tip #2. Show up early! I've showed up around 12:30-1pm to find the cart already closed for the day. Not their fault at all, the food is great and they're popular! End of last summer, I was standing in a long line behind a pregnant woman. When she made it to the window, it was apparent that she only had a credit card, no cash. It was hot, the cart popular, and the pregnant woman had that exhausted look, but the kind proprietor said, " oh free, no charge!" I was impressed ( I was going though my wallet to cover her meal too). And the food is terrific! |

If you see the exterior, you can probably understand why. The building the restaurant is housed in looks more like a warehouse or factory than a fine dining place. When we were about to walk in, my girlfriend asked me if we were gonna get mugged once we opened the door, but surely enough, a wonderful ambiance greeted us. \n\nBoth the exterior and interior walls are made of red bricks. The tables are definitely artsy, they are shaped like little water color easels, with the easel holes holding the salt and pepper! There are art works by local artists on the alls, in fact, we sat next to a wonderful portrait painting of Oscar Goodman (the city mayor). \n\nOnce we got seated, we took a look at the menu which had so many delicious items that it was hard to know which one to pick exactly. I ended up picking the Seafood Trio, which had halibut, scallops, and shrimp on top of risotto. The dish was excellent and was plated beautifully. In addition, the free bread was tasty (not sure what kind of herbs they had in it but it sure was good) and the lentil soup that I had was a perfect appetizer. \n\nI'm definitely glad we found this place, Las Vegas is hardly known for its fine eating outside of the Strip and definitely is not known for any non-chain restaurants. Tinoco's Bistro is a breath of fresh air in the city; it's also right in the arts district in Las Vegas so be sure to take some time to walk around and visit some of the art galleries and such. Tinoco's is a great place for lunch... one of the few in town with an actual city type of vibe. The food is good, the price point reasonable and it's located in the arts district...which you've been saying you should be frequenting more often anyhow! Tinoco's has relocated to a new location, inside the Vegas Club at 18 Fremont Street. It's open 7 am - 10 pm, seven days a week, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Valet parking available. Same great food as the former location on Charleston! One time my friends and I decided to splurge a little on First Friday and made reservations at Tinoco's Bistro. Although it's dinner menu was a little out of my price range, I enjoyed the meal immensely and didn't feel badly at all for doing it.\n\nThe atmosphere was wonderful - a darker, warm, intimate environment with original works of art decorating the walls. You definitely know you're in the Arts Factory.\n\nWe got the dungeness crab cakes ($11) for an appetizer and they were delicious. They were crispy and creamy and the crab was fresh, the bell pepper sauce accompanying it gave it a delightful bit of spice. I had the lobster ravioli ($18) for my entree and it was scrumptious. It comes with a shrimp, garlic, and wine sauce and I embarrassingly devoured it. They were offering a lobster bisque that day and I sampled it from one of my fellow diners and he would only let me have one bite although I wanted more, it was so good.\n\nA vegetarian friend of mine asked if a pasta dish that was traditionally served with chicken could be prepared without. When his meal arrived, it had chicken in it, but they quickly made him a completely new dish. That was the only snag in the meal.\n\nRecommended, especially for a top off to First Friday. What a FANTASTIC lunch that was!! You would never think a place as great as this would be located on Casino and Charleston but it is and I am thankful for that.\n\nMy wife and I split the crab and corn chowder that everyone raves about on Yelp and it was very good. I am not so into the cream based soups but I enjoyed it. My wife loved it. We went with the lobster ravioli and Orange Roughy in lobster curry sauce. Both entrees were excellent. I even enjoyed the bread which I think was a pesto/cilantro baked bread. \n\nAnyways..cool atmosphere, great menu, friendly staff blah blah blah JUST GO. |

There isn\'t much selection (my dad was like "where\'s the pork bone soup?"), but what they do serve is fantastic. Their bibimbaps are out of this world - piping hot and so flavourful. I also really like the beef soup meal. The soup stock is light and unsalted - you can salt it yourself. Plus, the side dishes! So many, so plentiful, so yummy!\n\nAnd while I haven\'t yet had the Ginseng Chicken, it\'s the go-to dish for my friend who swears it\'s amazing. A small little shop, so come early because there seems to be a line up here during the lunch hour rush. Service and ambiance is decent, and they do have a variety of items on their menu. \nHowever I find the food to be just average. Nothing really stood out. I've been meaning to try this place for awhile and finally decided to come when I was coming down with a cold. The samgaetang here is delicious and totally helped clear my cold within days. The soup comes out piping hot and the chicken is tender and soft. I loved it! It obviously doesn't compare to what I've tried in Korea and home cooked samgaetang, but this is the next best thing. I will definitely be coming here whenever I'm craving this soup. The food here seems to be clean and the taste was not bad. Not one of the best Korean dishes I had though. (it could definitely use more seasoning) \nIt gets crowded in the evening and really loud. Also, the tables are close to each other and it's difficult to have quiet conversation. I would avoid at peak times. I have been to quite many different restaurant all around yonge area or uptown but I like this one the best. their small dish is soooo good, the main course is soooo good. I tried the ginseng chicken soup, the bibimbap with the raw veal, the kimchi fried rice with hotstone and a few things which I couldn't remember. They are all really good. It is a place that I will keep going back even the price is a little more compare to the others. But it's totally worth that few dollars!!!! |

The people were nice , the service was fast, and the food was great. This is my new favorite Chinese food place Kung Pow!!! Great quick Chinese food, I had the Kung pou and was very happy with the large chunks of chicken and fresh vegetables. Very fresh and good food, highly recommend for a quickie. Another cheap Chinese food restaurant. Ordered the Teriyaki Chicken, doesn't come with anything but rice and chicken. Had to ask for vegetables which costed extra. My chicken was literally swimming in sauce with hardly any veggies and they forgot to give me my rice which is a huge part of the entree. There sauce wasn't very good either. I'm sorry but they get 1 Star from me. Small place, nothing fancy but the food is pretty good. Prices are cheap, food was hot and fresh. The menu says they don't use MSG, they don't serve food on plates it comes in styrofoam containers. We would go again but take out, opposed to sticking around. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken which is really tasty, has peanuts in it.. which honestly that was my first time ever ordering Kung Pao Chicken from anywhere so I didn't know they were in there but honestly it was good and I'm not really a fan of peanuts. I'll be back though I'm back in town in AZ and Yan's is always a pit stop that I need to make. On this trip, I had the chicken lettuce wrap with the crab rangoon. I really enjoy the filling that they use for the lettuce wrap because they include water chestnuts. The chestnut adds a wonderful crunch to the meal. I also enjoy how the seasoning for the lettuce wrap is just right. It is never too salty or too dry. The portion size also leaves plenty of food for leftovers. Being a college student, I love having leftovers. It really is great in my opinion. I also really like how they add celery to their lettuce wraps. In my experience, celery is not always an ingredient. But, I love the flavor of celery. Personally, I really love eating cream cheese. So, the crab rangoons resonate well with my personal tastes. But, I highly highly recommend them if you enjoy cream cheese and fried foods! Really tasty! \n\nYan's is a nice place to eat with very nice cashiers. They tend to remember you if you're a regular. They really are very nice even if it is a little bit difficult to understand them. If you're looking for an inexpensive bite to eat on the fly, please try Yan's. |

Had the boneless riblets and the fried pepperoni, both were tasty and came out quickly. There was a live band playing. It was a great way to end the night. We had lunch here today. The soup was very tasty. We also shared taco chips and dip - just average. There are s lot of DT locations with much better food at better prices. The staff here are amazing. Austin and Matt are genuinely so lovely and helpful. I've only been in Calgary a week and they made me feel so welcome. The food was really delicious too. Definitely would recommend this bar. Low-key, good beer selection, yummy food and the best staff. What more do you need?! This new Unicorn location is huge - taking up the old Libertine space (sadface). It is a great place to grab a drink or dinner before a concert or sports event. 3 stars because the service was just okay, and the food was nothing memorable. It is definitely a go-to due to its location but has nothing food or drink wise that stands out and makes me WANT to go here all the time. Nice sports pub on two levels. They have a ground level patio. Daily specials. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Many TVs. The hummus plate was great and had cherry tomatoes on it. Didn't like the quesadilla as the peppers were fried in grease. Note to cooks: If you have cheese in a quesadilla you already have enough grease so just put in raw or dry pan fried peppers. Good place to people watch. |

The breakfast burrito, tacos, and beef burrito we all got here were amazing. My breakfast burrito put all others to shame... it was very good, great portion sizes, good prices and everyone was very friendly.\nThis definitely had that authentic taqueria feel and flavor... and I should stress that this is NOT a Mexican restaurant, it's a TAQUERIA. It's well worth checking out... the El Jefe is fantastic and when my folks come to town I will be taking them here! Great customer service! Loved the surf and turf burrito! Street tacos were delicious too. I have been here twice since moving out to Scottsdale. Both times the food was great and so was the customer service. I was very glad to see that they don't make the steak until you order it. Best tacos ever!! 5 street tacos combo was the best! You get to try a little bit of everything. Multiple toppings! Clean, friendly, and quick service! I'll be back again! I'm never disappointed! |

The sigara borek appetizer and kuneffe dessert are amazing. Just wish the prices were a tad bit lower so I could visit more often! We found this restaurant through Yelp. The first time we decided to stop by and do take out because the kids fell asleep driving back from the science centre. We ordered a dish that had 3 different types of meats. Grilled chicken, Lamb kabobs and grilled beef. It was soooo delicious. Today, we went to the science centre again and stopped by to eat there. The service was very good (prompt and accommodating). I was bummed out that a few of the lamb dishes were not available, but what we ordered was still very good. I can't remember the name of all the dishes, but we ordered the zucchini pancake, shepards salad, the Turkish style lamb gnocchi and the amazing desert that has ice cream and cheese. We will definitely go back again when visiting the science centre. Was there with 7 people on a Sunday afternoon. Made reservation for lunch although when I got there there wasn't too many people and there are plenty of tables so really didn't need a resrvation. Inside is redesigned and very nice e and modern. Even the parking lot is new.\n\nWe ordered a cold platter app which comes with 4 cold apps and bread. Also got a huge mixed platter of meats to share as well as a pide and extra skewers of grille meat. Followed by kenefe and tea. \n\nGotta say thay that overall the food was great. The meats were grilled perfectly were juice and tender. The fresh bread is very nice. The cold humus babaganoush potato salad and eggplant was very nice and plentiful for us to share. The fires and rice on the side are good as well. Overall this place serves pretty decent middle eastern food compared to other spots. My favourite dish is the kinafe. It's much better than other places I've had it. \n\nThis place is a good place to host people or come for an occasion but definitely not one for daily Turkish eating. There are cheaper Turkish options out there with similar food. But again for the quality of food and ambience and service the pretty penny is worth it. I had high hopes for this place when I ordered it. Unfortunately the food was not as great as I had hoped. \n\nFood was quite bland, it wasn't as tasty as I had hoped. I would skip this place and go to Fat Pasha instead. I got a soup that called mercimek .It was delicious.but bad things was delay. there was just a waitress that worked and served for all people .second,it's Turkish restaurant with Turkish menu but the waitress can't speak turkish. |

Was turned away unless I wanted take out. This was my first attempt to eat at the new place. And my last. How do you start a new restaurant. This way?! Once again, 8:06 on a Saturday night, and they don't want us to come in and eat. Good luck. Wonderful lunch. Food was great very filling and heathy. Had the breakfast wrap which was great. Waffle are wonderful too. We went for brunch and it was AMAZING! The Salmon signature dish was out of this world... Fantastic red pepper coulis was great. Loved the Salmon Benedict as well. We had the best brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes EVER. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The beet bisque was also delicious. You must go!! Great place for those with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and/or dairy allegiant! But also a great place for ANYONE. I have an autoimmune condition and so many food sensitivities. I love that this place has SO MANY delicious options that I can eat! They even have an entire Autoimmune Paleo menu if you have extra sensitivities like me! I had a delicious salad and split the chocolate cake for dessert (grain free and topped with a coconut ice cream). I can't wait to go back and try those bacon wrapped dates I keep hearing about! It's great to be able to eat out without the worry of getting sick.\nComplete Paleo, AIP, and Vegan choices.\nThe food was spectacular! |

Went here today with my valentine for lunch. When you come for lunch isn't there an expectation that the service is perhaps a little bit faster than at any other time of the day? This way you can get back to work in time. Or maybe it's just me? Regardless, there is nothing express about this place. The service is extremely slow \n\nWe waited at our table for almost 15 minutes before we were served which made our lunch date extremely tight for time. The food was OK, but could have been better. Keep in mind that I ordered their burger. I will reveal the key to a great hamburger... The bun!!. If you want to make a great burger give me to great bun. Their buns are extremely dry.\n\nTo their credit, we were greeted when we arrived and were shown where to get a menu to get started. It only went downhill from there. I would not recommend this place if you are pressed for time.\n\nI'm also not a big fan of restaurants that serve ketchup in individual packets. I know, I know... You don't go to a Greek place for ketchup and hamburger. Fair enough. But, if you are going to serve hamburgers on your menu, ketchup belongs in bottles for the tables. This place deserves a 1 star. I\'ve been here twice. First time was for an office function. Second time on my own. Both times were disappointing. \n\nThe first issue is speed. I don\'t know if your grill have an issue or something but I don\'t think it should take that long to prepare food. They should chop off the "express" from their name. I feel like the staff are just genuinely slow. They make the salad at the speed of a snail. My mousaka took maybe 20 minutes to make. I know why. This place is obviously not run by people who understand or care about Greek food. The moussaka must have been frozen and the prep time was to defrost and heat it. I guess that\'s what I get for coming to a franchised greek restaurant. \n\nTheir service is basically non-existent, which is ok for me for a fast food place. But what\'s unacceptable is how they consistently get orders wrong. I even see you inputting POTATOES as side on the POS. How do you end up giving me rice instead? When I came with the office team it was the same. Turtle paced production, and getting orders wrong. \n\nNow onto the food itself, it\'s edible. But it\'s far from the quality of Greek food you can get elsewhere. They don\'t even have some of the food they advertise like the smoothies.\n\nThis franchise needs to shut down. At $15-19 per entr\xc3\xa9e (with salad and sides), you\'re paying premium price for fast food quality food with a fat chance of them getting your order wrong. Just went in to get a double skewer of chicken and a salad.....can someone tell me it cost $15.45? That's an outrageous price for chicken and salad. Even though it was a large, it's still disconcerting at these prices. Unlikely I'll go back again. Expensive and slow service. No wonder this place is empty at lunch time. They don't post their prices on the large menu board probably because they know they're overpriced so you need to look through a paper menu for the prices. $18 for a chicken souvlaki dinner. |

They said 2300hrs. We showed up at 2215hrs. There were 5 tables and three staffers. It took them 8 minutes to approach us. We told them we wanted mussels, the guy said they closed the kitchen at 10 "because it wasn\'t busy fifteen minutes ago". We get a jug of beer anyways. It\'s obvious they haven\'t cleaned the lines in a while, and no, it wasn\'t just the Keiths that was tasting bad. \n\n-3 stars for all the BS, but I will come back and give an honest review on their cheap mussels assuming they don\'t close the kitchen before it gets busy. A rather large bar located on MacLeod Trail. This bar gets pluses for the live entertainment setup, and having space for a real dance floor so you can do an East coast jig. Sure, there\'s Maritime and Newfoundland kitsch around the place, and donair meat and fried pepperoni on the menu, but this still doesn\'t make it transport you East like more intimate places such as Below Deck downtown. A good spot for special days like St. Paddy\'s or Alexander Keith\'s Birthday when it\'s really buzzing, but not somewhere I\'m itching to go regularly. \n\nP.S. When the singer calls "Sociable!", you\'re suppose to clink glasses with people NOT at your table too! Us downhomers were eager for a night of squid-jiggin fun and were expecting this to be da place.When we walk in we were happy with the decor-bringing us to a down home feel eh,We had a couple beers as we were early for the live band.The real prob started when a pub-crawl crowd showed up and a couple were too drunk and dropping their drinks all over and can barely stand up-not impressed with barkeep as he did nothing but serve them more?When they finally left and the band started we were disappointed again as people were crammed to the gills and we couldnt see the band(which were terrible).So-we were not thrilled with this place..wont be back.... Classic local pub, great staff, near perfect pints of Guiness, and live Irish folk music that sends the crowd dosie doh-ing till the early hours. \n\nGreat for a daytime swifty and a game of flights or a friday night jig.\n\nlove it. ITS A TRAAAAAAP!\n\nOk, well not like that. But it could be. Several years ago my friends and I would frequent "The Trap" on a fairly regular basis. It was always a great time. Since returning to the city I haven\'t been back on a weekend evening but during the week for lunch. \n\nI was doing some work in the hotel attached and came for lunch here two days in a row as the hotel gave myself and my coworkers a discount coupon. I don\'t remember what I had the first day, I think it was a burger. The second day though was all you can eat fish and chips. AYCE Fish is probably the only reason to come here for fish and chips. They\'re mediocre, but a good sized portion. The best part of the meal was the aioli that they serve with the sweet potato fries. |

Ok...the place is a complete and utter dive.....but they have the BEST pancakes ever!!!!! They are just like the ones grandma made. The service is very "U.S. North-Eastern", which is strange for a boy from the South...but they are not unfriendly. The prices are good too. You can feed 2 really well for under $20...which is good in Toronto. The only drawback to this place is that they only take cash. I\'ll have to come back for a second visit when this diner isn\'t teeming with screeching, unsupervised children and parents too exasperated to care, but for a first impression Detroit Eatery was pretty decent. I ordered the two egg breakfast (no meat) for $6 and my dining partner had the pancakes (described as "excellent"). \n\nThe diner is no frills and decked out in Detroit Red Wings posters and jerseys. The staff is lifted straight out of Fargo Rock City and the uniform here is metal t-shirts like Metallica and Hypocrisy.\n\nMy breakfast was decent but not unforgettable. The home fries were basic boiled and fried potato discs, eggs over easy and plain white toast (not buttery enough). I didn\'t dare approach the tomato on my plate.\n\nCash only. Stumbled upon this place today on a random trip up the Danforth and I couldn't have been any more ecstatic about it. Grew up in Windsor and as a die hard Red Wings fan this place felt like a home away from home. Atmosphere reminded me exactly of a tavern you'd find in downtown Detroit with tons of Detroit memorabilia. The menu reflected the city of Detroit as well. They even had chicken on a stick! Portion to price ratio was also fantastic. Massive burgers! I will definitely come back here to watch some Wings games this season. Detroit vs Everybody! I am surprised to see such a high rating. I had dinner here once and was completely underwhelmed. The staff seemed like they could give a shit that we wanted some food. The food itself was 100% lackluster. The only thing good about this experience was they were playing Jack Russell Terrier races on the TV and that was entertaining. \n\nNever have gone back. |

The name of the restaurant is a place in Fujian. So my fellow Fujinese diners informed me.\n\nThey serve steamed/fried dumplings, soup dumplings, cold appetizers, soup noodles, noodles and they have individual steamed soups. Lots of people ordered the soups but we didn't try any. They were around $7 for each individual clay pot. We ordered the Sha Xian wontons, steamed pork and celery dumplings, Fujian stuffed fish balls, marinated tofu and a free range chicken noodle soup. The foods were all nice, nothing really great but ok. The soup they used for the wontons,noodles and Fujian fish balls was pretty plain, and seemed like just water and chicken powder. With the soup noodles you can choose from around 4/5 different noodle types. They also have a lot of different rice combos too. Lots of other diners got the peanut sauce noodles, they smelled really appetizing, even though I'm not a big peanut fan. I would try them, if I came back here. The 2 servers were nice and polite too. Small restaurant that I wouldn't have come in if it wasn't for my friends' choice. Surprisingly this little restaurant is a hidden gem! Apparently it was well known back in China, Beijing and other places. \n\nI had their individual for one person soup (tea tree mushroom with duck and mandarin peel- good for coughs *i had some for past two days*). Sharing we had ShaXian wonton, ShaXian vermicelli with pork, steamed cabbage dumplings, wok fried spare ribs in wine sauce. \n\nTheir shaxian wontons $3.49 for 16 of them yet they're small like a nickle size (smaller than a quarter) but the meat is sooooo flavorful and tender. Wonton wrap was very silky smooth and the clear soup base was just the right taste. Not too savory and it was really tasty. (I was kind of shocked to be honest). \n\nThe ShaXian vermicelli with pork was sooooo good, light and fluffy but not greasy! Simple dish, stir fired with some egg, some onions and pork slices. For $7.99 I think it is definitely worth it because I like stir fried vermicelli but really afraid to be greasy, heavy and filling with carbs. \n\nSteamed cabbage dumplings- 4/5* for the taste of the meat, but the dumplings doesn't have juice coming out, yet it isn't dry. But I still prefer the wonton soup more. $4.99 for 8 pieces\n\nI had tea tree mushroom with duck and mandarin orange peel soup. It was traditional style but still too tasty for natural homemade (for sure there's MSG). But so far 2 hrs after dinner I'm not thirsty or having dry mouth. \n\nI love this place and will definitely come back for more soon. \xe7\x82\x96\xe6\xb1\xa4\xe4\xb8\x8d\xe9\x94\x99\xef\xbc\x8c\xe9\x80\x82\xe5\x90\x88\xe5\xa5\xb3\xe7\x94\x9f\xe5\x85\xbb\xe7\x94\x9f\xe3\x80\x82\xe9\xa5\xad\xe8\x8f\x9c\xe4\xbb\xb7\xe6\xa0\xbc\xe4\xb9\x9f\xe6\x8c\xba\xe4\xbe\xbf\xe5\xae\x9c\xe7\x9a\x84\xe3\x80\x82\xe5\xb7\xae\xe7\x82\xb9\xe7\xbb\x99\xe4\xb8\x80\xe6\x98\x9f\xe7\x9a\x84\xe5\x8e\x9f\xe5\x9b\xa0\xef\xbc\x8c\xe6\x88\x91\xe5\x8f\xaa\xe8\x83\xbd\xe8\xaf\xb4\xe7\x82\xb9\xe5\xa4\x96\xe5\x8d\x96\xe7\x9a\x84\xe4\xb8\x80\xe5\xae\x9a\xe8\xa6\x81\xe6\x89\x93\xe5\xbc\x80\xe7\x9b\x92\xe5\xad\x90\xe7\x9c\x8b\xe7\x9c\x8b\xef\xbc\x8c\xe7\xbc\xba\xe6\x96\xa4\xe7\x9f\xad\xe4\xb8\xa4\xe7\x9a\x84\xe4\xba\x8b\xe5\x8f\xaf\xe8\x83\xbd\xe5\x8f\x91\xe7\x94\x9f\xe3\x80\x82\xe5\x88\xab\xe7\x9a\x84\xe7\x9c\x9f\xe7\x9a\x84\xe6\xb2\xa1\xe4\xbb\x80\xe4\xb9\x88\xe6\x8e\xa8\xe8\x8d\x90\xe7\x9a\x84\xe4\xba\x86\xef\xbc\x8c\xe5\xb0\xb1\xe6\x98\xaf\xe8\xa7\x89\xe5\xbe\x97\xe5\x85\xb6\xe5\xae\x9e\xe6\x9c\x89\xe6\x9b\xb4\xe5\xa5\xbd\xe7\x9a\x84\xe9\x80\x89\xe6\x8b\xa9\xe3\x80\x82\xe4\xb8\xba\xe4\xbb\x80\xe4\xb9\x88\xe4\xb8\x80\xe5\xae\x9a\xe8\xa6\x81\xe9\x80\x89\xe8\xbf\x99\xe5\xae\xb6\xe5\x91\xa2\xe3\x80\x82 I like this restaurant. The price is reasonable and noodles taste good. But I don't like wontons here. The soup here pretty good. Recommend to try. This place has surprisingly a lot of cheap eats. \nPeanut sauce noodles is only 2.79! \nThey also have 16 deep fried wontons for 3.49$ - crazy!\nThe deep fried buns were a good deal too.\nWe tried their pork and chives steamed dumplings (which they left out from our order, we had to reorder it) and it was not good. The dumpling skin was thick and the pork filling was dry. \nWe also got the chicken pot and it was filled with bones and the sauce was slightly sour yet salty but it looked as if it's suppose to be spicy- but it isn't.\nWe also go the stir fry clams and they did not taste stir fried. They tasted boiled and then they added a red sauce on top which looked very red and spicy but was actually sour and weird tasting as well.\nMy favourite dish was the deep fried salt and pepper tofu- crispy, lightly flavored |

For a mere $25 you get a pile of mouth watering garlic knots, mashed potatoes, veggie and 20 ounces of melt in your mouth beef goodness cooked to absolute perfection. The rasmopolitan was also excellent. Great atmosphere and fantastic service! Thank you, we will be back! We recently relocated to the area and several people had told us to try this restaurant. We finally decided to check it out. The entire experience was a pleasure, the staff is very attentive, the food comes out in a well timed manner, and everyone in our party really enjoyed everything from the appetizers all the way to desert. We will be going back for sure!!! Highly recommend the place! I have dinned at much higher priced restaurant and this one really hits it out of the park and it's not too bad price wise either. Went to Mario's last night for the first time, great food, great staff. The place is clean and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Food was brought to the table in a timely manner and was hot and fresh, prices are reasonable and the portions are large, you have an option to order a half portion which is great. Will definitely be back to this restaurant. This place has gone from bad to worse. The last three times, I got less than fresh pizza, hard garlic knots with my pasta and the pasta had no salt and no flavor. We had to throw it in the trash and go out to eat. Never giving them my business again.\n\nFor less than average food they charge a pretty penny! We are giving this five star review because of Dave Spinelli. He is an amazing Manager. |

I ordered los tacos de carne asada and they were fantastic. Steak on corn tortillas served with a side of cilantro, onion, lime, and traditional salsa so I could put as much as I wanted on my tacos, which was great! Everyone enjoyed their food choices, Nachos Tropicales were a hit! The cheese dip appetizer is a must. I'm always very iffy about ordering meat at a place I haven't been before, but all the meats here were perfectly seasoned and well cooked, served hot. Absolutely delicious will definitely come back. This was one of the very first places that I was introduced to upon moving to Charlotte, and it quickly became a staple in my life. There are so many great memories tied to this place and gotta love mariachi night! Yeah, the parking lot stinks, but why does it matter where you park once you get inside and get filled with delicious chips, salsa, queso, and, my personal favorite, pollo fundido. So much food for your money, and great, personable service too. I came here to check out a New Mexican spot I was seated quickly but it took a while for the server to take my order. I ordered the supreme nacho special and made it vegetarian by taking off the chorizo. I thought it came with refried beans but it came with black beans instead I asked my server kindly if she could put refried beans on top of my nachos she acted like she didn't understand and for what I presumed was the manager I apologized about misreading the menu asked him the same thing he had an un pleasant demeanor the server brought out the refried beans the server never checked back on me during my meal the nachos were good but the service was poor. And on top of all that they rang me up for the wrong price... I eat here quite often. It isn't great Mexican food, but it is pretty good and the best in the neighborhood.\n\nOne plate I would like to recommend is El combo. It comes with a LOT of food. I usually only eat half and save the other half for lunch the next day. It all comes with beef but you can sub chicken for any item at a cost of $0.25. The hard taco and the Chalupa are best eaten that night. The chili rellano could have more pepper in it. \n\nThe margaritas are hit or miss. Sometimes they will be strong and sometimes they will be a little weak. On Mondays medium margaritas are $5.50 and they are pretty good sized. I think on Thursdays they have beer on special. \n\nIf it is your birthday, they let you wear a sombrero and give you a fried flour tortilla with a whip cream smiley face on it. It may come with some syrup and a cherry too. You do not get to keep the hat like I thought, they will chase you down and ask for it back. Pollo con queso is everyyyyything. To be honest it's the only thing I've ever eaten here so I can't really say much about the other food but I've never heard any complaints from people I eat with.\n\nService is a little iffy. Some servers are super nice and friendly and others you can just tell waiting tables is not their calling. \n\nAs far as Mexican restaurants for the university area this by far the best option. |

Chacho's is definitely one of these places tucked away in a not very busy street off of Mount Pleasant. It reminded me a restaurant I visited in Mexico. Everything from the Mayan Decor to the music and even the servers.\n\nI walked in at 10pm as the website said they were open till 11pm. However the server said the kitchen is closed. I obviously looked very disappointed and at that point the owner intervened and asked us what to order. So wuth rapid decision and a quick glance of the menu. I ordered the enchillada's and shrip taco. \n\nWas good authentic food. The Mole was amazing but I guess it wasnt as spicy as i generally enjoy Mexican. However, the hot sauce did do its job. If you are looking for a place that is like no other, give this place a try. I dont regret going there at all! Very good! My son and I were craving nachos so we looked to Yelp and found this place. It was 4pm on a Tuesday and it was just us. The man who served us was very nice but also let us have our privacy even tho there was nobody else there. The nachos were so good and so filling! Sometimes you get nachos with a bunch of slop thrown on chips and most of the chips end up with no toppings and the middle becomes soggy. These were spread out and every single chip had fresh delicious toppings. We were so full by the time we were finished with the nachos but we had already ordered burritos. I loved the grilled tortilla the burrito was wrapped in and the fillings were just the right amount of everything. You could tell there was no reheating being done, these were made to order. We could each only eat half so we brought the rest home to eat after our food coma subsides. We will definitely be back! The absolute best Mexican I've ever had in Toronto. The nachos are something I dream of. Homemade, warm and fresh toppings of delicious goodness. Simply divine. It's a masterpiece! Can't really say anything bad about Chaco's. I mean I wasn't blown off my chair in any sense, but that's not a bad thing. I wasn't disappointed, I just wasn't wowed. Anyway, this restaurant is a bit of a walk from the nearest subway stop at Davisville station. Inside the restaurant there's hardwood tables/chairs and the decor is...well...meh. I think the TV station was repeating some commercial about back pain or some ish that was a little bit distracting and mildly humurous as it was in Spanish. \n\nThe food was good, hearty, authentic Mexican. I do enjoy my Mexican food and I always want to order more and more, however the prices here made me keep myself in check. Luckily there's a convenience store around the corner where you can grab some Doritos if your cash is somewhat stretched.\n\nThe service here is good. No problems there. The place is a little bit pricey for my liking, so I would probably come back only if I got a raise as I'm willing to take the extra 30-45 minutes and get some lower priced Mexican food. All in all, you could do worse than Chaco's, so if you're in the area, there's no reason not to check it out for yourself. So good! Fish tacos are awesome! Tasty fresh guac and the salsa is great. \nIt's a small little place that gets pretty busy during lunch and dinner. \nService is a little slow, but the food makes up for it. Always craving those fish tacos! |

I got $12 worth of food for 6 bucks, & a free piece of baklava for checking in. Highly recommend. I love this place. Great greek food and great place to eat.\nThe address is actually at 59th and just north of Olive ave. I'm a bit of a Greek food snob and this place didn't do it for me. It's certainly not bad but nothing stood out. Very flat pita bread with minimum Tzatziki application. The lettuce didn't seem fresh and their fries are served very undercooked.\n\nOn a positive note the seasoning on the fries is good and they were plenty busy. $7.50 for a drink, Gyro and fries is a fair price. Great service. Wonderful food. If you are looking for some great Mediterranean food in Glendale definately come here. Good stuff! This time the groupon proved to be valuable. We had gyros, traditional and chicken, both were very good. Would come back if in the neighborhood and recommend highly for anyone who likes to sample the valley's selection of mediterranean fare. |

It\'s a good place to stop by after you visit "Count\'s Kustoms" down the street. Enter from W. Desert Inn Road and look for the big BBQ sign on the store front. Make your order, find a table, make your drinks, and wait about 10-15 minutes. They\'ll bring your order to you with a smile. My first visit, I went for the 3 meat choice (brisket, chicken, and hot links). The brisket, soft. The chicken, most and tender. The hot links, full of taste packing sneaky heat. As the saying goes, "broke da mouth". Flew in just about 11 and had a couple of hours to kill before heading off to Fort Irwin. Did the tourist thing by visiting the Pawn Stars shop, then Yelped someplace for lunch. Husband really goes for BBQ, and this place had 4.5 stars. Must say that 4.5 stars is perfect. (Wish Yelp allowed half stars.)\n\nI had the club wrap, and husband had the pulled piggy sandwich and onion rings. The wrap and sandwich were great, but the onion rings were the best we've had anywhere. (Yes, I snitched some from husband.)\n\nOrdering was easy, and food came in about 7 minutes after that. Staff was friendly. Yes, it's a hole in the wall, but SO much better than visiting a chain restaurant when we're traveling. The atmosphere was fun.\n\nWill definitely try it again when in Vegas. I can't give this place 5 stars because the brisket & sides were quite underwhelming. That said, the spareribs (naked, of course) and the bread pudding (flavored with Heath bar on this particular night) were absolutely to die for! Our server (his name escapes me, but he was a big Okie dude) was very personable & very knowledgeable about the menu. We'll definitely be back! Best barbeque I have ever had. Great flavor with the pulled pork and the brisket, ate more than I should have at lunch, which allowed me to skip dinner. Good waffle fries. Not a place for the diet conscious as your stomach will take over. |

The atmosphere is dated, but the food is just delectable. The price is reasonable considering all the food you're getting and the wait staff are just so friendly, patient and kind. This place has a very homey mom & pop shop feel to it. Absolutely love it! The food there is really good, it's not that expensive, the service is good and fast; I like grilled calamari and lemon potatoes. The Greek salad is good but I would say the seafood platter for 2 is one of the best. I just love it! Prices are good, what else can u ask?! I stumbled upon The Friendly Greek late one Sunday night with my friend. Our original intention was to eat at a Moroccan restaurant in the area, but they ran out of food so we wandered blindly for a while until we came across this place. We thought it looked like a decent spot that would would serve big proportions... we were very hungry so this was a factor.\n\nThe decor is just average, although the upbeat Greek music adds a nice lightness to the place. In general, it reminded me of a very large family friendly franchise. Given this, I didn't have very high expectations when we entered the place. \n\nI ordered the lamb souvlaki dinner and my friend ordered the chicken souvlaki dinner. Both our dishes came with a greek salad which was big, packed with feta cheese and good. We were also served a basket of bread, which at first looked like toasted hamburger buns, but turned out to be yummy garlic bread.\n\nMy main came with two sides, rice and roasted potatoes. I liked the lemony flavour in both. \n\nWhen I finally tried my main, I was pleasantly surprised; I love lamb and am very picky about how it is prepared. When I cut into my lamb chops I was very happy... so tender yet well done, the way I like it. My friend's chicken souvlaki was also good.\n\nAll in all this was a satisfying experience. If you are hungry and looking for wholesome Greek food, this place is not bad at all. The staff are friendly and down to earth and the food is good. Works for me - flaming cheese, pork n fries plus a carafe of drinkable wine ... I will be back! I gotta say, while there is no shortage of higher-end offerings on the Danforth, this place is really fantastic if you are hungry, have a kid in tow and just want to sit down and eat some home cooking. \n\nThe staff are either used to or love kids and treat them the way they would treat eating and paying customers. \n\nIt has a typical Greek food menu (souvlaki, rice, potatoes, steamed veggies, Greek salad) and a few "Canadian food" offerings, like hamburgers (?). \n\nMy absolute favourite part is that they toast up a hot dog bun, butter it in garlic butter, slice it up and serve it while you\'re looking at the menu. There\'s a nostalgia in that for me that\'s really comforting. \n\nThey also feature the old school "desserts in a glass case" which I love. \n\nWe\'ve been many times and we\'ll be back. The pricing is great, the atmosphere is laid back and they treat you and your kids like gold. The food may not be fancy, but they\'ve got their customer service down like nobody\'s business and sometimes that\'s all that counts. |

The menu has usual Americanized variations of sushi, maki, sashimi and appetizers. The fish was fresh, but some rolls were overloaded with mayo. Wasabi was couple of notches toned down, not what I expect from a sushi joint trying to play in major leagues. Average saki selection, nori ( seaweed) used to wrap rolls was real and crunchy. Overall decent place for lunch specials, for a la cart sushi feast, there are better alternatives in Montreal. You know how every city has a hidden gem of a restaurant? I happened to hear about Bishoku only about two years ago, and have since eaten there several times!\n\nOne of the smallest restaurants I have ever been to, Bishoku is a hidden treasure in Downtown Montreal, specializing in Japanese cuisine and sushi.\n\nThe food here is so fresh, and so delicious, that by the time I'm done eating, I want to know when I'm coming back.\n\nEverything on the menu is fantastic, but as appetizers, you must order the lobster roll and the tuna tempura platter! (lobster roll is on the sushi menu; tuna tempura is listed on the regular menu)\n\nFor dessert, try the fried ice cream -- after a big meal, it's big enough to share!\n\nGood for couples or groups of four. If you want to seat six to eight, make reservations, because tables that accommodate larger groups are sparse. Wow! The sushi and sashimi is amazing. I never had sushi this amazing. I have been going to this restaurant since it first opened, and I keep on going frequently, even if I am alone, or want some take out. \n\nWhen I hear the word sushi Bishoku is the first place I want to visit. The restaurant is nice and cozy, not so big. It's quiet, and you can actually have a conversation with who ever you are going with. If you are alone sit at the Sushi Bar, and talk with the chef, he knows a few English words, this is how you know he's actually from Japan.\n\nThe fish is always fresh, and its high grade quality. Enjoy a free appetizer when you order. You will never be disappointed at Bishoku. Sadly Bishoku has now been re-named "Chop Brasserie Asiatique" by their new owners. No it\'s not an Asian brewery, so I have no idea why they chose this name, but in the end, since the change over, the quality has gone down hill.\n\nThe last time we went, the waitress was very rude to us and food wasn\'t great. The rolls are still fine, but the nigiri and sashimi was definitely not as good. The sushi pizza is still good and unique, but I don\'t think I\'ll be going back. RIP Bishoku! Ah Bishoku, the jewel of Montreal when it comes to Sushi. It is tough place to find but I swear to you once you have eaten there once, you are hooked. The fish is fresh and cut oh so perfectly. The rolls are expertly done and reminds of the the sushi I had in Japan. If you love sushi do yourself a favor, eat at Bishoku. |

When I have a noodle craving - I go for their Singapore Rice Noodles. It is a thin noodle in a curry paste - I always ask for extra veggies.\n\nThe owner is a really nice guy. The food style here is really a blend between Thai and Malaysian cuisine. One of the few good places to eat on the Eastern end of the Danforth. Im not a fan of thai food but the pork noodle lunch combo i had here was really good. I didnt like the mushroom soup or springroll though. Highly addicted to the basil chicken. I stayed in Toronto for a month and carried out twice a week. The food was that good. Plus, the staff is really quite friendly. I can't wait until I'm back in the area. Not sure why this resto is rated so highly but was very disappointed by my dinner tonight. Was excited to try this place based on the reviews. While the owner is friendly it's frustrating to have to continuously ask for things because they're just not there when it comes to service. We were told an item was not available...you would think they would come with a menu in hand so that we could make another choice but no...we had to ask for a menu. Food was mediocre at best. The temperature of the hot and sour soup was perfect but the soup was sadly lacking in any flavour...same with the spring rolls and the rest of the order. Perhaps this place is fine if you're in the neighbourhood but not worth traveling any distance to eat there. Food was served quickly and even better than expected. Sadly I was a bit too sick to really enjoy the place at the time. If anything I could have gone for more spice. Not that it was bland either just could have used more heat. Still, very satisfied. I'd go back next time I'm in town. |

Nothing is worth mentioning here. \n\nAmbience is cool- big wall to wall glass windows, fancy decor, etc. but I can't eat ambience, can I? My sister and I splurged for the Bubbles Under Glass event, including early access to the Bubbles Lounge. Tasting Cristal was on our bucket list and this event did not disappoint. Staff was welcoming and friendly. The pours were generous and the hors d' oeuvres were unique. We thoroughly enjoyed both the event and the venue. Top of line without any snobbery. The venue was beautiful, unique and luxurious from check-in to valet, to an excellent room service breakfast. We will definitely keep in touch with other events at this venue. Proud to have this in CLE! Great time on the RSRV floor like always. Dane was a great curator and host. Highly recommend!! The suite was lovely, we had a great stay. They let us have a later checkout we didn't ask for till that morning. It was important and they accommodated. \nThe restaurant was good, closes at a weird time in the afternoon. We had just made it in time. I will be staying here again. |

Seated promptly with a reservation. Server was at best marginal. Recited specials with no price indication (probably restaurant policy). Served bottled beer to my wife and she had to ask for a glass (class?). Was told that the 'organic' salmon was farm raised which could be but would be unusual. Ordered the bow ties with 'salmon bits' but the 'bits' were white (fish?). We had to ask for Parmesan cheese for my pasta and my wife's appetizer. I had to ask for a refill for my club soda. Had to ask for a dessert menu. Forks after the appetizers were basically dropped on the table by a busboy then removed and replaced by the server.. Serving / plate removal service protocol ignored. Service slow for our table as other patrons arrived and left before we were served. All in all, a forgettable experience. Extremely poor service. Average food with a high price. Have been there twice with consistent results. We took our family here last night to celebrate Mother's Day. There were 4 people in our party that got Lobster Bisque with their entree. The waiter, Andrew, said it would be a slight up-charge for this soup versus the wedding soup. We said, sure that's fine, not thinking it would be $8 for a cup and $16 for a bowl. The most expensive steak houses in the US don't even charge that much! The service was very poor too. Our waiter rolled his eyes when we asked for more water and butter. To top off the night, the pasta dinners were served cold. We were visiting from Michigan and wanted a nice evening with our family. Good thing the company was great, because this place was awful. Over-priced and will not go back. For years we drove past this restaurant until one evening we decided to give it a try. \nThe service was awesome and the meal was easily the best we've had. \nSince this was our first time we were given a complimentary meatball. Ok..,,odd. But these were incredible. My wife is gluten free and they were extremely accommodating even making a special meatball for her. \nThe appetizers were great and the steaks done to perfection. \nTheir house red wine, which has their own label, was spectacular. Full body. Complemented the steaks perfectly. Next time (Monday!) we'll be getting bottles not glasses. \nWhile quite expensive it's worth it. \nHighly recommend! This was our first and last time to Donato's. I was looking forward to eating here for almost 4 days after I made our reservation. I looked over the menu before hand and was excited to order the Delmonico steak. It was no doubt the worst steak I have ever ordered. The cut of meat was something you would expect to get from a chain restaurant. I had to send the shrimp bisque soup back because it tasted like someone dumped a salt shaker into it. The sauce over the steak was also super salty. The mashed potatoes that came with the steak did not taste fresh or homemade, rather like potatoes from a bag. My wife had the short ribs which I tasted and wished I order that entree instead. Not great but 100% better than the steak. The worst part was the steak cost $40.00. I would highly recommend The Capital Grille if you are craving a delicious mouthwatering steak. |

The reason I chose this place was because of the neat patio it has in the back with a view over looking the Wynn pool as well as the Venetian and the High Roller. The area is dimly lit with very comfortable seating giving it a more intimate feel.\n\nWe had a bottle of wine at the recommendation of the sommelier, who was awesome, didn't get his name but taller gentleman with a beard and long hair. We savored every last drop of the delicious bottle from South Italy LOL.\n\nEverything we ordered was super tasty and had very good presentation. We ordered the shrimp ceviche, the chicken thai basil pizza, the onion soup, and the three sliders. BIG EXCEPTION: the sliders. Not sure what happened here but they looked and tasted like little mini whoppers from Burger King. We were not impressed by them at all and at ~$15 they are not worth it. \n\nThe server was SUPER nice! Very knowledgeable of all the food items and constantly checked up on is to make sure we were okay.\n\nOverall a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone. My friends and I actually like this place. Not a huge fan of the Wynn since everything is over priced. But this restaurant isn't as high as the others. The food and drinks were pretty good. We had this flatbread pizza with blue cheese and sirloin. Ordered it just because it smelled good when being served next to us. The staff and outside seating is definitely a plus. Super nosey inside especially with one tv for sports games. But I would come back just for the flatbread I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet!\n\nI had dined at La Cave a year ago with 5 of my girlfriends to celebrate my bachelorette weekend. Everything at La Cave was amazing - my girlfriends and I still talk about it fondly.\n\nWalking to La Cave itself was such an experience. It is located inside the Wynn. We had to walk through the gorgeous hallways and then arrive at La Cave, where we were seated promptly.\n\nWe had ordered a whole array of tapas to share, including the roasted beets, bacon-wrapped dates, ceviche, salmon tostada, beef and blue cheese flatbread, sirloin steak, etc. Everything was incredibly delicious! Each one of us was in love with the food, including one or two picky eaters!\n\nThree of us got a wine flight as well. I LOVE wine flights, and this one didnt disappoint! To pair with the wine flight, we ordered three types of cheese to share. Oh man, the portions we got! BIG pieces of cheese! We were all giddy with happiness because we thought we'd get an inch at most, considering what a reasonable price it was. \n\nThe service was super friendly and polite. We all had an amazing time laughing, sharing food and indulging in good wine. Thank you La Cave for the good memories and for making sure the last dinner on my bachelorette trip was a success! :) Nice bar in the Wynn- had some good appetizers (tuna and flatbread), both tasty. Service was good and attentive, drinks were tasty. Bring your checkbook though- Wynn prices. |

I've lived in 3 different states and ha e yet to find Chinese takeout I enjoy as much as Lotus. \nMy go to is Seseme chicken and fried rice. Hopefully I'm still going here in another 10 years. Second time. \n\nSoooo much better. \nI'd definitely recommend the broccoli with garlic sauce and veggie fried rice. Soooo freaking good. \n\nA little less attentive as I told them we were vegan and they gave us a pork egg roll with our meals. However the food is tasty. We're happy. \n\nGeneral Tso tofu is sweet as hell, lol still. But uh. My son is loving it, of course. I'd say stick with the veggie dishes (if you're vegetarian) - as the tofu is soft even when asking for it extra crispy. Overall nice spot when I don't feel like cooking. Broccoli and other veggies are crisp and fresh. Sauce is piping hot and savory. All is good. Hopefully everything is vegan, as she stated lol \n\nPeace Great local place with take out service. The cashew chicken is very good and the egg rolls delicious. This was our first visit. We ordered take out and it is insanely close to where we live. We tried three soups; Egg Drop, Wonton\xe2\x80\x8b and Hot and Sour. Mel ate the first two as I am the H&S soup lover in this house. He said Egg Drop was very good but the Wonton soup was a bit salty which after sampling, had to agree. Maybe the broth had cooked down too long and needed diluting\xe2\x80\x8b. My H&S soup was very good. It was a bit more on the sour side but I surprisingly enjoyed it for that. All soups were piping hot. We split a General Tso's Chicken combination. It comes with the aforementioned\xe2\x80\x8b, pork fried rice and an egg roll. The egg roll was the type\xe2\x80\x8b found at most Chinese\xe2\x80\x8b take-outs. The pork fried rice was very good. Very hot and flavored nicely. The chicken was good as well. Light on the sauce but what I enjoyed the most about this dish was it wasn't overly sweet. Sometimes when you order GTC from take-outs it is sooooo sweet. This wasn't. Will definitely go back. Oh, and they deliver too which is nice, but it is so close! Did a to go order the other night. Took about 15 minutes....seems about the standard wait time for Chinese take out. We got an order of orange chicken, vegetables fried rice, a couple egg rolls and my favorite, hot and sour soup. Love the soup! Good flavor and nice spice! Enjoyed the orange chicken as well. Wish it was a little crispier. The fried rice was ok, not bad but it wasn't blowing me away. Now, the egg rolls were kinda cold and didn't have the best flavor. All around it was a good experience and I'll go back to try more of their menu. |

The management behind the counter were extremely nice and the food coming out looked really good. \n\nWe had the Chicken and Eggplant Panini with the works. Including the homemade Bomba. \n\nThe food is fresh and yummy. And did I mention that it was a full size portion. For the area you are getting a sandwich for the Hungry Man. This is no wimpy Panini. \n\nThen there was the rice balls. Wow. Big and with 3 choices. We had the classic cheese only and a second one with Rapini. Covered with the house sauce which is a simple and again classic. And I am quite sure it was home made sauce. \n\nThe coffee here was an excellent finish to a meal I could barely finish. \n\nI didn't see any sweets on the menu but a biscotti or canolli would have been a nice way to finish this meal. (Hint hint)\n\nAt the end. This place is not fancy at all but you get great food, price, value, that you can not go wrong. \nAn excellent lunch place in Maple. currently sitting in villa panini and can 100% say that i'm ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED! love the insanely friendly customer service, family restaurant vibes, and classic italian food i will definitely be coming back! We decided to give this place a try after seeing decent reviews on Yelp. We ordered a cod sandwich, veal sandwich and a nuggets combo. After a 45 minute wait (and there was only 1 other person on the restaurant), we got a cod sandwich and 2 chicken sandwiches we didn\'t order.... We got no apology and were simply asked "oh, so do you want to keep that or do you want us to change it?"\n\nIt was an hour when we finally got the food we ordered and it was awful. Bland, tasteless, and super stingy... a huge bun with small portion of meat and toppings. \n\nIn the time we waited there another patron came in and said he has been a regular customer for 3 years and that our sandwiches don\'t look right at all and the couple behind the counter are not the old owners and they must\'ve changed ownership. The new couple working claims they\'re covering for the owners who are on vacation. I first heard about this place at work, and ordered a chicken breaded panini with eggplant and mushrooms for lunch. \n\nI believe the only sauce is the tomato sauce (but I could be wrong) and you can adjust the spiciness level. I got the medium and it was the perfect amount of spice for me. \n\nWhen I opened the foil wrappings - The sandwich was huge and fully stuffed with toppings. It was perfectly cut in half to make it easier to eat. \n\nNormally I'm not a fan of eating sandwiches for lunch, but this totally changed me...it was delicious! \n\nI'm planning to check out the shop the next time I'm in the area and have my boyfriend try it :)\n\nI wish it was located downtown Toronto! OMG... These veal sandwiches are so delicious... I inhaled it! \n\nI am so impressed with the veal sandwich. Treat yourself and get the extra toppings. You will for sure be happy you did.\n\nThe generous serving and heaping toppings will make your tastebuds dance! \n\nThe hours closing hours may disappoint you. However, you must understand you are getting fresh, hot, quality ingredients and an amazing bun to indulge your veal sandwich and tomato sauce. \n\nThe sauce will not leak through the bread. It IS the best tasting veal sandwich! \n\nI can\'t wait to have this again. For any veal sandwich lover out there, like myself... This is "the" gem. The price is reasonable for what you get... a masterpiece of flavor and texture and I am going to dream of this tonight for sure!\n\nThank you and my tastebuds and stomach thank you too! |

C'est petit, mais il y a un coin pour tout le monde: les amis peuvent se partager une grande table et les mains peuvent se caresser sous la table pr\xc3\xa8s du foyer ;) J'ai aussi \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 t\xc3\xa9moin de belles jasettes au bar entre les employ\xc3\xa9s et les habitu\xc3\xa9s. La bonne entente entre les employ\xc3\xa9s est palpable aussi. Sans tomber dans le clich\xc3\xa9, le bar a une \xc3\xa2me. \n\nCe n'est pas du tout un gastropub mais une belle attention a \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 mise dans le graphisme du menu papier. Il y a aussi une jolie ardoise pour le menu des boissons. Et puis, franchement, on a command\xc3\xa9 plusieurs choses qui \xc3\xa9taient satisfaisantes au go\xc3\xbbt, en portions copieuses et \xc3\xa0 d\xc3\xa9vorer avec l'aide de plusieurs napkins, haha! Je pr\xc3\xa9f\xc3\xa9rerais \xc3\xa0 l'avenir commander un burger de b\xc5\x93uf plut\xc3\xb4t que celui au poulet: j'ai trouv\xc3\xa9 que la poitrine croustillante \xc3\xa9tait trop grande pour le pain, ce qui est un beau probl\xc3\xa8me me direz-vous avec raison, mais je pr\xc3\xa9f\xc3\xa8re moins de viande et davantage de garnitures dans mes sandwichs. Puisque Yelp en raffole, j'ai fait commander \xc3\xa0 mon amie quelques ailes de poulet, et son verdict a \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 qu'elles \xc3\xa9taient bonnes mais pas exceptionnelles, peut-\xc3\xaatre un peu trop cuites. Toutefois, nous nous sommes entendues toutes les deux que les b\xc3\xa2tonnets de mozzarella \xc3\xa9taient vraiment, vraiment plein de fromage, donc parfaits. \n\nLa cerise sur le sundae: se faire souhaiter bonne soir\xc3\xa9e avec une poign\xc3\xa9e de main. \xc3\x87a, \xc3\xa7a nous fait sentir que notre visite est appr\xc3\xa9ci\xc3\xa9e. Hospitalit\xc3\xa9 +++ I went to this bar one evening with a friend and was surprised at how packed in it was, there was literally one table left for us to sit at. You definitely do not go here to have a private conversation with someone. The staff seemed very in control despite the volume of people and came to our table 3 or 4 times before we were ready to order. I ordered some perogies... PEROGIES at a bar!! They were an awesome snack! They also have a cool looking selection of martinis I would someday like to try as well as a Deep Fried Mars Bar located in the dessert menu.... Very interesting and definitely different menu. If everything is as good as my perogies were I'm not surprised that this is a popular place and I will be back! What a gem! \n\nI love that this place exists and that it really is close enough to be "next door"! It has great vibes, great staff, and great grub. The prices are crazy affordable and the portions are enormous. \n\nFrom 5\xc3\xa07s every day of the week to ~martini Wednesday\'s~ to wings night to bottomless brunch, there is always a good reason to stop by!\n\nBottom line, it\'s a great neighbourhood haunt worth checking out. \n\nPro tip: forget pints. Live a little and order the euro ;) One of the best bars in my neighborhood, cool and polite staff with nice behavior, best quality of food and fair price. Next door is always my first choice to have fun, drink, and eat. |
