looks like a family own restaurant. the dad acts as a manager... actually doesn't look that bad inside. food is okay .. very average... i did not find that anything was spectacular. \nservice was pretty weak.... had to ask for a white rice from 4 different servers ... We were a party of 5 and decided to give this place a try as was in the mood for family style Cantonese food.\n\nChose a 4 dish dinner menu for $29.99 that came with pork chop, beef with melon, free range chicken, and a small whole steamed tilapia fish. The dishes are smaller, so we added a plate of snow peas (very fresh & green) and fried oysters.\n\nEverything was tasty and we liked how it wasn't too salty.\n\nSoup and red bean dessert was on the house.\n\nThere were other dinner combos available.\n\nWe left feeling satisfied, not overly stuffed. A decent place to go for home style dishes. Lousy service, mediocre food, forgot some orders and tried to cheap out on the included soup. \n\nDefinitely skip. Been here a few times when it first opened. It was really packed and you had to wait for a table at peak times. They open for supper but it's never busy then. Came here tonight at 11.30pm and there was only 2 other tables in. Food is ok here and not that expensive. Tonight we got the tilapia special. It's only $16.99 for tilapia 2 ways. You can get the fillets in soup vermicelli or with flat rice noodles or in congee. Then the bones and head are coated and deep fried. Then they're tossed in Maggi flavouring. We also got an extra dish of green beans. The food was pretty good. But we couldn't finish everything between the 3 of us and had to pack up the fish bones. \nFood is usually not so good, when the place is packed. Hence, why we hadn't been back in a while. The last few times, the dishes weren't so good and portions were shrinking. Also, the service was crap, with wrong or missing orders and not getting the daily soup. \nThe Coors light are $3.50 each and if you buy 2, you get 1 free. So it's only $7 for 3 bottles. \nAfter tonight, we might start coming back again. Nice place for traditional cantonese dishes. Overall, 3.5 stars.\n\nI really like this neighourhood restaurant. It has a homey, small business atmosphere. The food this evening was delicious enough. The Eggplant and Sea Cucumbers Hot Pot ($15.99) tasted salty and spicy, totally not shy from what it was meant to be, though it could be too salty to people who didn't love sodium as much as I do. The vegetable dish (sorry I don't know how to translate the name into English) was sweet and fresh. It was recommended by the manager to contrast the bold flavour of the hot pot. It was an excellent recommendation. The services from other wait staffs were sufficient. The pricing was good. The decor was contemporary traditional.\n\nThe only reason I am withholding a higher rating is because I have yet to try some fancier dishes. I need that to find out the versatility of the chefs. This means I enjoy Verdant enough that I will definitely be back.

Came here for their oyster special twice. The first time it was still newly open for not yet a year and my date and I dined over great food. The atmosphere seemed classy at first and the restaurant was dimmed, which was great for a date IF only everything else went well. It all went downhill after we got the food and the service however was also terrible as there were two waiters attending to our table and we saw the two debate who should get our table, which I found very unprofessional. \n\nSecond time I came back with a friend recently and the service was terribly slow and the food was only mediocre. We were disappointed that the oysters had bits of shells in them that made it difficult to enjoy. And after about AN HOUR, our appetizers still hadn't come. \n\nI couldn't understand what the hold up was as everyone else around us got their food already -including the table that ordered after us. We ordered two simple appetizers that I'm sure could have been made in less than an hour-even a main should not take an hour to make. Very disappointing.\n\nParking is convenient as it is located right in front of the restaurant. The menu prices are a bit pricey for what it is. The decor inside gives a nice, classy ambiance. The seafood is so fresh. Had oysters and sea urchin special. The ambience is great with excellent service and nice modern decorations. 5/5! Seriously the best seafood restaurant to GTA! Let's start with the wide selections of oysters. East and west are super fresh and juicy. Best oysters in town. Seafood platter is to die for. Selections of the best seafood plates and out all in one plate. We had black cod. It was the best cod fish we have ever had. Seafood gumbo is something you don't find in Toronto ever. It is creamy and packed with fresh seafood and flavors. Grilled salmon is super simple yet cooked perfectly. Wine selections are excellent. Highly recommended! Made reservations ahead of time for this location considering it's a weekend, waited about 10 mins to get our seat. The two hostess at the front look like they're in high school and aren't professional at all. (One of them had pretty ripped up tights)\n\nWe were prompted by our server fairly quickly after being seated, and the food arrived at a good time one after the other.\n\nThe space here is a lot bigger than the Lawrence location that I normally visit, so it's definitely great for larger parties! The oyster bar is huge!\n\nOrdered the oysters, fish cake, lobster/shrimp pasta, and their special of the day (soft shell crab with spinach salad). Everything tasted just as great as the one on Lawrence, I was impressed.\n\nI would have given this place a 5 star if they had better hostesses at the front and better time management of reservations. But I will definitely be back, their food always wins my heart.... Until the next time! :) Came in lunch time on a Friday afternoon for a business meeting. \n\nThe interior looks upscale. Didn't expect it from the looks of their exterior. The place wasn't busy, it was almost empty. \n\nThis restaurant specializes in oysters and seafood. I am not a big fan of oysters, I had the crab cakes as appetizer ($15) served on top of salad and miso-glazed Chilean sea bass ($49) served with asparagus and quinoa. \n\nThe food was delicious, presentation was excellent. Servers were friendly and attentive. Very nice, quiet ambience perfect for business lunch. \n\nI had cappuccino afterwards. Disappointed that it came in a small cup.

We actually tried to go to FnB for dinner because they had a patio and we had the dogs with us but we got a bit of a snooty Scottsdalian vibe there when I tried to get a table. In the end the server said the patio was closed because it would be too cold to eat outside and somehow I didn\'t think they would buy that my chihuahua mix was a service dog (Nor Tricki our spastic papillon) ;). Too cold at 4-5 pm while it was still tank top weather in the prime month of March during a popular holiday weekend and we are customers wanting to give them our business? Well they certainly lost out on profits from us! I actually did say well that\'s a shame because you lost out on our business but they didn\'t really seem to care that much. Oh well, on to better things!\n\nWe were actually going to go back near home to eat but saw the cheery orange "Cornbeef" sign walking back and spied the selection of nice tables outside. While browsing through the menu posted on the window the owner came by and mentioned their St. Patrick\'s Day special: corned beef, cabbage, red potatoes and carrots for $14. Sign me up!\n\nIt only took a few minutes to make the corned beef special and the AZ Special sandwich with sweet potato fries. The assistant/server came outside to deliver our meals and was so nice and sweet. She spent a bit of time showering attention to the dogs and gave them a few treats :) \n\nShe warned that the corned beef special was huge and she was right but I had a mighty appetite that day! All the veggies tasted great and there was plenty of corned beef which was well seasoned. It did get a bit salty for me towards the end of the meal but hey it\'s corned beef, it is going to be salty from the brine. Having all the veggies did disperse some of the natural salty flavor from the meat. The veggies themselves were cooked well. My favorite of the three was the soft wedge of cabbage which had soaked up some of the corned beef flavor. So good! \n\nSeating outside was spacious and plentiful. By the time we finished it was still warm and pleasant (Contrary to FnB\'s opinion), perfect weather for walking around. \n\nEveryone here is so genuinely nice (Versus some other shops where you get the "I\'m being nice to you because they are paying me to be nice" vibe). They are truly a breath of fresh air in old town Scottsdale and make this area a better place. So I will extend some thanks to FnB for refusing to seat us because we discovered this little gem of a shop! If Vivian from Pretty Woman were in this situation she would go into FnB while waving bags and bags of Cornbeef sandwiches in front of them saying, "Big Mistake. Big. Huge!"\n\n(Edited the wording in this review based on additional info- there is one sole owner and assistant vs. two co-owners) Hey cornbeef eatery is easy in and easy out fresh sandwiches. Local sourced cheesecakes and meat. Good service and very reasonable prices. Thanks This was the best pastrami sandwich I have had in years. \nHonestly, I know good pastrami and corn beef and this place delivers. Need lunch in old town you have to give it a try. Disappointed in UberEats order . \n\nBread was very soggy and did not take my request for a different bread . Saw other pictures with pickles - did not add pickles when requested . Do not care for sweet potato fries and sandwich came with that ( no options for regular fries ) \n\nCorn beef did taste good thou ! Just huge disappointment for about $40 lunch for two - order was late as well . \n\nHopefully this place is better in person ! Would not recommend ordering delivery- ( bread really can't handle traveling well ) OMG IS ALL I Can Say!!! Oh Taste And See... you will Love the food at this eatery!!! I had the Tuna Melt and the Sweet potato fries. It was perfectly seasoned and the tuna was the best. The service is great and Rick is very personable. Love this place!!!

Exceptional atmosphere, food and wine. Derek was my server and he was very polite and attentive. I started with the sherry bisque which lived up to all of the fantastic reviews. It is definitely a must try! I followed with the filet and subbed out the cauliflower gratin for the potatoes. A great choice as the cauliflower was amazing!!! I finished with the tiramisu - another wonderful option. I'm from out of town, sadly because I would love to come back!! Beautiful restaurant building & grounds. Ask about the history of this restaurant since 1937 - feel good story. Delicious fine dinning food. The New Zealand Elk exquisitely delicious, every single bite. Creative desserts both in presentation & taste. Service was on point, timely and never annoying. Wine list by the glass full of good options. Can not wait to come back to Pittsburg to visit this fine dinning establishment. Eating inside the beautiful mansion is worth 5 stars alone. The food is pretty great as well. The sherry bisque is a long time standard. On the down side staff can be stuffy and prices high. \n\nThey consider themselves new American cuisine by keeping the menu the same since 1973 so that it's now trendy and retro. We have eaten here about 6 or 7 times. We have nothing but good things to say about them. We have had consistently great food, fantastic service, and the atmosphere and ambiance is quite unique. It is a bit pricey, but we feel we have gotten our moneys worth every time. My boyfriend was dropping me off at the airport and this place came up on yelp. It's so fancy! There is valet parking when you drive up. It looks like a small castle. We had foie gras as an app. We both had 2 bites but it was worth it. The bread it was served on was just right. The sauce and apple butter. I got a pomegranate martini! It was perfect. I got the trout that was sort of Mediterranean. It was excellent! Wouldn't change anything. My boyfriend got the filet. He said the best thing was the potato layered side with cheese. He said the steak was just fine not the best he's ever had and kind of a disappointment. I am already planning on when we can go back. I was dressed business casual because I came from work. I wouldn't recommend jeans. There was a couple there that was especially dressed up so you could go all out here.

La mejor comida ven y prueba esta en Jones y Vegas dr los tacos vegetarianos son una delicia todo esta delicioso cien por ciento Recomendado Absolutely love this place. I have always been sketchy about food trucks/stands. But this one takes it. Their meat is always well seasoned. The taco trucks I have tried have either been too salty or too dry. This taco stand is my favorite by far. And what better than to have home made tortillas! I am a regular customer and have never been disappointed in their food. They are very nice ppl and will always make sure our order is correct. I also like that we can add our own topping. They always have a "help yourself" refried beans pot as well. Definitely recommend to any taco lover out there Good, friendly service is not something I've come to expect from a taco truck, but El Tacontento delivers service with a smile almost as big as the grinning, sombrero-wearing taco painted on the truck. I drive past this newer taco cart on my way to work, and one thing convinced me that I had to try it: the name! This stand in the parking lot of a tire shop across from Fiesta Rancho and the Westwind Drive-In Theater recently replaced another mobile vendor with not-so-memorable tacos and a name I can't remember.\n\nI requested a veggie burrito and was offered pinto beans, rice, cheese, lettuce, salsa, and crema inside a large flour tortilla. The rice was well seasoned and the Mexican-style sour cream made it even more delicious. I'll be back for this burrito for sure. My husband ordered a taco de birria and proclaimed it very tasty for his first time ever sampling birria. He was given a choice of corn tortilla: regular or fresh. Of course, he opted for the freshly pressed and griddled masa. Our total? $5. They offer bottled beverages, but I'd definitely like to see some horchata or other aguas.\n\nThe man and woman who took our order and prepared our food were so friendly and helpful that we will certainly return for mas tacos y burritos. Gracias and cuatro estrellas for El Happy Taco! The first time we drove by El Taconento was on a Sunday evening and we were bummed to find out that they were closed. On our street taco scramble this past weekend, they were opened, and they had a small group of people waiting for their orders which was also a good sign.\n\nRun by a husband and wife team (I think) they have a nice selection-Tacos,Tortas, Quesadillas, Burritos and something no other vendor offers, Huaraches(Slippers).\nThey also offer six types of meat selections-Asada, Lengua, Cabeza, Pollo, Al Pastor(He has an Al Pastor Carousel inside) and Birria, another thing no other vendor offers.\nTraditionally made with goat, Tacontento's version is beef, kinda sorta like picadillo(if you had Cafe Rio's Chile Roasted Beef, it is very similar to that)\n\nSo we shared a Taco de Al Pastor, Taco de Lengua,($1.50/each) and a Huarache de Birria($5) The al pastor had very good flavor with nicely charred bits, and the lengua was oh-so-soft and tenderlicious! There's nothing like a fresh handmade tortilla, and this is the only way tacos are made here .\n\nThe Huarache is a 1/4-inch thick by 10-inch oval of masa that is griddled to perfection\ntopped with beans, meat of your choice,shredded lettuce, crema Mexicana, and Cotija cheese.Just as good as the ones I've had in the streets of Cancun, and much tastier than the huaraches served at Los Antojos. Wait times vary, depending on how busy they are, but if you are patient, the food served up here is definitely worth the wait. easily becoming one of my favorite street vendors...ALOHA!!! excelente lugar para comer unos buenos tacos , de los pocos lugares que tienen su propia personalidad , totalmente recomendados

This place is one of my favorite places in Charlotte. I've tried several of their dishes, and I'm never disappointed. In addition to a great selection of food, their kitchen is open late on Sunday nights. I recommend their buffalo chicken nachos (grilled), buffalo chicken salad, and their grilled chicken club wrap. My sister loves their sweet potato fries and their pimento and egg chicken sandwich. They also have a great variety of cocktails. My favorite is the champagne mojito. Seriously, i could drink like 5, they're amazing! \n\ni definitely appreciate their kitchen being open late since my boyfriend sometimes works late on Sundays and its one of two nights he has off, so Leroy Fox gives us that chance to eat great food after 9pm on Sundays. :) Southern style cuisine at it finest! A little noisy but its not enough to keep me away! You just can't go wrong with this place or any of the other sister restaurants Cowbell, and Mortimer's! Great Environment, and Amazing Food. Chicken Fried Chicken with cheesy grifts I came here a couple of days ago with some girlfriends from work, and was absolutely blown away by the Pimento, Bacon and Onion Straw Burger that was being offered as a lunch special that day! For just $12 I got a WHOPPING burger cooked to perfection and loaded up with all the fixin's. Now I've had quite a few Pimento Cheeseburgers in my life, (having attended school in the South) but I can honestly say this was one of the best I've had in a very, very long time. Deciding to go real light and healthy, I also ordered the Mac and Cheese as my side. This too, was also delicious and had I not been there with about 8 of my coworkers I probably would have licked the bowl dry...seriously, you NEED to try the Mac and Cheese. Overall, very happy with my experience here and will definitely be back to check out their bar area and brunch specials as well! The experience was excellent. Had my bday dinner there and I swear everyone enjoyed their food My favorite meal is brunch. If I could, I would brunch all of the time. \n\nLeroy Fox served up a great brunch (it didn't hurt that I was in terrific company). My friend wanted to try Leroy Fox because she heard they had a Bloody Mary bar on Sundays, but unfortunately, when we arrived, they didn't. I won't complain about the $4 bloody mary special though, and when I asked for spicy, they definitely delivered. Best bloody I have had in Charlotte (but I hear Boudreaux makes a mean one).\n\nWe enjoyed drinks on the patio while waiting for a table outside (we were in a couch,c hair situation). However, everyone who had a table outside never wanted to give theirs up, so after about 1.5 hours of drinks, we realized we still wanted to eat, so moved inside for brunch (it's still brunch if it is 3pm right?).\n\nI really wanted an omelet, but their omelet station closes at 230, so I settled for a traditional fried chicken sando and mac and cheese. SO GOOD. I also shared the pretzel bites with a friend. Definitely get the queso dip with those.\n\nI would love to come back to try some breakfast food (the french toast looked amazing). Overall, the food was solid, our waitress was attentive and it totally was a satisfying brunch. Nom.

I always get the Pad Thai which is excellent. Service is always good, owner is nice, portion sizes are large and it's an overall good lunch place.\n\nLunch mates usually get spicy dishes which are both traditional and delicious. Spicy dishes are as hot as they should be.\n\nService speed is pretty good for making a quick lunch trip and delivery is really convenient. Tried to order from here using Grubhub. After not receiving a confirmation from the restaurant regarding my order, I called Grubhub to confirm. They were unable to reach the restaurant via phone or fax and suspect that the restaurant is shutdown. So BEWARE when ordering online. We've been here several times and like the food. .. Today we came for the beef Jerky and some hot wings and meet the owner. He's a great guy and he has a great restaurant. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Very disappointed. I was looking forward to a Thai place opening up so close to my house BUT the food was a disappointment.\n\nI got the lunch special and the fried tofu was good but the salad had no dressing on it. The Thai fried rice had no flavor but the curry was decent. Not the best but not the worst either. \n\n I also got the pad kee mow...I believe they called it something else. The noodles were over done. I ordered a 10 and it was a 2 and there was like maybe 2 leaves of the Thai basil in it. No seasoning and I love pad kee mow because of the flavor of the basil and I could not taste it at all. And for that price the portion size was TINY. \n\nI might try them one more time to see if they improve but with Archi's around the corner, probably not. Ordered the Crab Fried Rice a few days ago and aside from the portion and amount of crab (very little), it was actually quite good. Just wished they included more bits of crab and a greater portion. \n\nI went back again this evening to order takeout, however, they were closed with a note on the door from the justice department indicating a temporary close due to violations. WHOA!!! WHAT THE HELL??!?! UHH...yeah I guess I won\'t be going back anytime soon!\n\nIt\'s too bad, as it\'s conveniently located around the corner from my home and made a good plan b for times when I\'m too lazy to drive to King and I, which is my "go to" for Thai style fried rice.

I came back for the teppanyaki. It was way better than my previous experience. The service was better and environment livelier. The man in charge of our food was super engaging and had a very engaging personality. He was awesome. Our waitress was on top of everything. I'd definitely recommend the teppanyaki side. We came on a weekday and it was busy so a reservation wouldn't hurt. Great food and happy hour. Love their hours and can get teppan anytime. Fun to go on your birthday! We have been to Osaka several times and they never disappoint. Tonight we celebrated by daughters 14th birthday and enjoyed some sushi and teppanyaki. Our Chef's name was Chen, he put on a great dinner for us. We ordered the Osaka Combo - with Filet and Shrimp - very good. The place was jumping and the entire teppanyaki room was having a blast. We'll be back for sure. So this is the 2nd time I had teppanyaki in a week and I wasn't really looking forward to another dinner of the same style. I went here for a birthday dinner of my friend and I was surprised at her choice! The wait was long, it was a busy night and our party was pretty big so it was understandable. I've waited longer at Gen anyways this was child's play. Our chef, Tom was awesome! One of the best teppan chefs I had actually. I honestly think this place beats Benihana. You gotta be a good sport about it when you come here cause you're going to be engaging a lot. They will have a squirt bottle with alcohol and be ready to drink! The steak was delicious and and the shrimp was well. Because of the long wait we got complimentary appetizers and a few drinks. I'll definitely be back. Ask for Tom to be your chef! I was so excited to try this place, made a reservation for a nice family dinner.... except we still had to wait an HOUR past our reservation time to be seated. Really? What's the point of having a reservation system then? It didn't help that the hostesses were incredibly rude, unapologetic and just flat out unprofessional. They were so disorganized and appeared to have no idea what they were doing. Get it together already!\n\nAnyway, the only reason I gave this place 3 stars and I mean the ONLY reason is Gary. He was our teppanyaki chef and, although I've been to plenty of hibachi restaurants in the past, he was by far the BEST! Not only did everything he cook taste amazing, but he also was so entertaining my sister in law said her cheeks literally hurt from smiling so much throughout the meal. Never had such a fun AND delicious dinner before. Thanks Gary - you were worth the one hour wait.

Walking into the store you'd see their customers munching on something that resembles Popeyes chicken strips...and once you order your batch and have a taste, are you ever mind blown. \n\nLet's start with the fries. They look boring but 100% crispy and cooked the way where the exterior is crunchy and the interior and soft and warm. \n\nNow the slaw. All combos seem to come with the slaw. ONE OF THE BEST IVE HAD. Sourness is on point with shreddy strips of vegetable...honestly it is like kimchi without the red pepper flakes. It's as if it's fermented but smoothered in a good mayo to vegetable ratio. \n\nFinally the chicken, bold, flavourful and extremely crunchy. It's better than Popeyes! Don't let the looks deceive you, the spicy original crunchy chicken is absolutely delicious. \n\nA fair tip is that sharing is caring, order one combo for two adults and you should be A-ok. I heated mine up the next day for another meal. You just get SO MUCH FOOD.\n\nAlso, the options are a bit confusing. Thigh are strips of chicken. As for wing, I'd have to get back to all of y'all after my second visit! I ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken (thigh) and it was amazing!! The coating is super crunchy and the chicken inside is so tender, taste is amazing. Fries were pretty good too, can definitely tell they were freshly cut. Portions are great it was a struggle to finish the regular size.\n\nThe space itself is super clean, lots of seating available and the staff is friendly. Very excited to eventually try other things from the menu Lovely addition to the neighbourhood. \n\nI have a weakness for KFC - the Korean Fried Chicken and these folks do it so well! Got the D-Crunch St. Chicken (spicy) and it was one of the best decisions I made today ^_^ Staff is friendly, quick and knowledgeable. \n\nRegular is 1 lb vs. Large which is 1.5 lb of delicious deep fried chicken goodness. \n\nTake your pick of thigh or wing. Either way, you really can't go wrong. \n\nLooking forward to coming back and trying out their other flavours! The best chicken I've ever had! I tried many Korean Fried Chicken restaurants in Toronto but nothing beats this one. I was hungry and wanted to try something new so I ordered their food on UberEats. I ordered the Double Crunch Chicken regular size. After I got my food, I was surprised by how much food that they gave me. I had to check my order to check that I didn't accidentally order a Large size. The quality and quantity of the food definitely beat the price. The chicken was so crunchy and juicy in the inside. The Double Crunch Chicken came with shredded coconut and another topping that made the chicken even more flavourful and crunchy. Also, the whole box comes with many pieces of chicken (which I had to share with my friend because of the size), fries, buns and the specialty sauce. I recommend this new restaurant to everyone because I still cannot forget the unique flavour and the food texture that was in the chicken. This was so delicious and I will make sure to go again to the restaurant next time with my friends! It\'s hard to figure out what the restaurant is just from it\'s unassuming, no-frills storefront. You know the name, you know that they have chicken, but step inside and you realize that it\'s much more than "just chicken".\n\nThe restaurant specializes in fried chicken platters and the chicken comes in a delicious assortment of different flavors. All the flavors have something slightly different about them whether it\'s a cheese topping or a sauce or soy flavoring and they all seem to draw on Korean-style fried chicken as their main influence. After a tough decision, I settled on the spicy d-crunch chicken which was a soy chicken covered in toasted coconut flakes and cereal for an extra crunch. I had to wait a bit for my meal but it was definitely worth the time! The chicken was moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside with a subtle sweetness from the coconut flakes and a great mouthfeel from the corn flakes. Covered in their sweet and spicy sauce, this dish is incredibly satisfying. The dish is also rounded out by a side of sweet and tart coleslaw, toast, and french fries, all of which were solid additions to the meal.\n\nThe inside of the restaurant is clean with lots of natural light from all the windows. The staff is friendly and there\'s plenty of seating for patrons. Definitely worth checking out this new spot if you\'re in the area!

I'm not particularly impressed with this place. Sadly out of lack of food choices in the area I decided to try it. They have lunch specials that are under $10 but I didn't like what I had - basil beef. It was ok, lacking depth of flavour. The rice also seemed like it wasn't the freshest. The portion size was pretty good but I honestly didn't finish it because I just couldn't.\n\nThe decor is really nice - but decor shouldn't overrule taste. Staff are friendly and will give you information or advice on food if you need it. A few reviewers have said their curries are good so maybe I will try this place again to try them. I personally really love Thai food which makes me a really picky eater as well when it comes to Thai. This place has comfortable seating and great atmosphere. Waitress are nice and surroundings and great and clean. Their food is just so delicious not to mention their curry, grilled chicken, pineapple fried rice and not but not least mango sticky rice!!!!! I love this place ! Excellent Thai food. We go here at least once a month. The staff is courteous and the food tasty. Service is fast. This is great value for money and kid friendly as well. Try it! popped in here for a quick lunch as i was in the area to visit my supplier.\n\nvery friendly service and quick too!\n\ni got the veggie pad thai and it was a big serving and very flavourful! \n\ni was literally in and out in less than 30 minutes which was perfect for me! Soup was gross and cold and they wouldn't substitute it for a different one. Green curry was very spicy and was not enjoyable because of all the spice. The staff had their lunch in the main dining area and we needed some water but didn't want to interrupt their meal by asking them. Very weird dining experience, fair to poor food... Highly NOT recommended.

First ever visit and wow what a hidden gem!! Went on a Friday night and they had a live jazz band which made for a relaxing meal in the quaint space which was newly remodeled. Just when you think it couldn't get any better the food came and it was awesome! It's and older crowd and what appeared to be lots of regulars, but great atmosphere and great food. We'll be back for sure. This place is awful. I ordered a medium rare steak and it was cooked medium well. I had to walk around the restaurant to find the waitress to let her know that the food was unacceptable because she never bothered to check back. In the meantime my husband had his dinner. Twenty five minutes later - my husband had finished his meal, I still had no food. We had to wave the waitress over again to tell her to cancel my order and comp us our drinks. \nAnother waitress, came over with the check and explained that she was just a "lowly server" and didn\'t have the authority to comp us anything. I told her I had been a waitress for many years and knew that when an order got messed up it was a priority to fix it and perhaps she should talk to her manager. \n\nShe literally threw the check on the table. For the first time in my 64 years I left zero tip. Do not go to this place! Horrible service. Horrible cook. I found this delightful little gem in Lakewood when I googled, "Steak in Lakewood." I checked out their website and found they had a "BOGO Steak Night on Saturdays"! Their steaks were perfectly fine. A little thin, but I wasn\'t expecting Hyde Park.\n\nWaterbury caters to a distinct crowd of the older generation and the menu reflects that in their comfort food - liver and onions, scrod, chicken paprikash. Everything I\'ve tried here has been perfectly fine. Their cole slaw is quite delish. \n\nThe food alone would get a 3 star rating. The five star rating is for the atmosphere! Lounge singers, huzzah!! I\'d like to think that years and years from now, my sweetie and I will be sitting at the Waterbury Coach House bar, sipping our Old Fashioneds, singing along to "As Time Goes By." Couldn\'t wait to give this place a try once I saw their specials on IG. I definitely have some helpful criticism and some kudos to give. When you enter, there\'s a chalkboard with the specials scribbled on it. I was itching to clean it and redo it. That\'s the first impression. \n\nThe elderly regulars inside greet you as if they\'re surprised to see a new face. All very friendly, but they scream over each other the entire time while slowly sipping their drinks. Not talking, screaming. This wouldn\'t be unusual if it were a lively sports bar atmosphere. This is not. Low ceilings and no music gives it a living room feel and amplifies their conversations even more. It kind of feels like you\'re intruding if that makes sense. It\'s as if this place isn\'t open to the public. \n\nThey had trivia going on which being in such a small environment felt overwhelming and more like a nursing home activity. It was a Saturday night. I would have preferred jazz/music. Trivia might work better on a Tuesday. The one waiter there was very friendly and did an excellent job with everything. \n\nThe food was good. It was like eating at home. This is the first place I\'ve ever gone to where I had to add salt. Not a big deal and kind of refreshing, but be aware. Take the fresh pepper offering from the waiter. I ordered the chicken with angel hair and my husband got the Marsala. 4-star plates. No complaints. Great salad and bread. Husband\'s tomato soup with green beans was fair. The stuffed mushrooms for app were "okay". \n\nClean place, nicely remodeled and they have their own parking lot with plenty of empty spaces. The prices were really surprising. Our bill was $40. Honestly, I think if they raised their ceiling, turned up the music, maybe turned the lights down a little and lost the paper placemats, it would be a shnazzy little spot. I gave 4-stars because I think the owner is trying and doing okay. I\'d love to see a few changes and go back. Recently underwent a complete remodel. Very light and airy. Good food, cold beer and a friendly crowd of locals.

What has happened to this establishment?? It use to be so good. I keep trying and they keep failing me!!!! The food is great. Bartenders are attentive and always very nice. The burgers are great. Tried the mushroom appetizer this time - very good. Beer is always ice cold. Defiantly recommend. Clean establishment. Bathrooms are clean. I would definitely recommend this place. Was there on a Friday order the fish. food came out cold, service was slower than a constipated bull. Nothing really special about this Place. Enter at your own risk. If you don't know where Ogden is, you aren't alone. Just go towards Danville from CU, it's the exit after St. Joe. Go into town, turn left at the road before the stop sign on 150. Go down until you are at the water tower, that is Billy Bob's. \nI had been here once or twice before when there was a pool team here, back when I played on Tuesday nights. I had never eaten here before. I decided I should change that. We didn't know where to go to for dinner last Friday, so I suggested here (I wanted steak!)\nWe started with appetizers. Kridz got the Mozzarella Sticks, I went with the Crab Stuffed Mushrooms. The mushrooms were awesome. Go there, get them. Seriously, that stuff was amazing. The waitress said it was house made stuffing, and it was great. Kridz really liked the sticks, they were battered, and not breaded. The breaded ones wind up looking like fish sticks, while battered is just so much better. \nFor main course, Kridz got the hot ham and cheese, with a side of the macaroni salad. She really REALLY like the macaroni salad. Sandwich was very buttery and good too. We inquired about the macaroni salad, if it was made in house, and the waitress said it wasn't. \nI got the ribeye steak. It was prepared correctly. Was a really nice looking piece of meat. Good grill lines, good marbling, good flavor, and really tender. My side was the coleslaw. (also, I believe, made in house). It was a creamy coleslaw. Very creamy. \nThe wait staff was very friendly and treated us great. \nIt's only like 15 miles from CU, so it's a quick trip. The prices are very reasonable. The food was great. It's more of a NASCAR bar, as there was pickup truck racing on the TV instead of, you know, game 4 of the NBA basketball championship. I'm sure they would have changed to the game on one of the TV's were we to ask, but we didn't really want to impose. \nThey don't have an extensive beer list, but with demand, I'm sure that would change. The beers they had were very reasonably priced. Liquor was also inexpensive. We stopped by Billy Bobs a couple of times this past summer (2014). Everyone was so friendly. The food was great. Good enough that we came back on our way home to Indianapolis. We will be back anytime we venture west on I74 from Indy. The Regulators

Loud, overpriced food and bland. Drinks are too expensive and the menu is almost too vast so everything just tastes the same. I think there is better food nearby! Good service, nice restaurant, I order the "red peppers rellenos" hoping that it taste like real Mexican "Chiles rellenos"but sadly I was disappointed, next time I will try something different, coming back for sure Very good Mexican food in Vaudreuil-Dorion finally! The margaritas are huge and the portions great! Ordered an entree of Fire Cracked Shrimp tacos which were awesome, however I made the mistake by ordering shrimp tacos again as the main course, so the range of flavors did not vary. Still delicious though! Staff was great but very busy...to be expected on a Sunday. PS: My wife would like to chime I and say DO NOT ORDER BURGERS from here...they suck the big one...no flavor Decent Canadian Mexican food for being so far from the Mexican boarder. Not sure I would go back, but I didn't have any issues with the food or service either. There are very few Mexican restaurants in the Montreal area. Nice Resturant decor. The drink menu is great. They do not take reservations . The staff was friendly. I ordered the mango chicken which was great . Everyone was happy with what they ordered . This is a great little Resturant and we will be back.

Myato Gastropub is the newest Korean fusion restaurant downtown! It\'s pronounced "my-ah-toe", and "ato" means gift in Korean, so it\'s my (their) gift to us!\n\nThe location used to be the old Beer Station. It\'s been completely transformed into a hip and beautiful place serving creative delicious delicious food! \n.\nCame with a group of 7, and tried 10 dishes! All were delicious but my favourite was their Jjim\'s BBQ Ribs! Deeeelious! Interesting fashion. Everything we ordered were quite filling and has a good touch of taste to it. Went here for a birthday celebration during their opening week. You can tell the servers were new and that they were trying their best to take care us because they were so eager. \n\nThe menu is a bit pricey for the portions we got. We did enjoy most of the dishes. One particular favorite was the samgyupsal creme platter. The yummy pork, waffle fries, and creme sauce went well with our drinks. The dessert was questionable though. Someone at my table ordered something that was basically a bowl of potato chips with vanilla ice cream. Weird.\n\nThe place was also decorated perfectly for a late night get together. I've been here two times and will be coming again! The signature cocktails (which were all invented in the restaurant), I recommend are the Spring Ruby, Pink Panther, Lychee Sour and Gin'Kis! I think the bartender, Ryan, was extremely exceptional. He was very patient and accommodating and he is very fun to talk to! Also, Jason, was really attentive and nice! \n\nAnyways, the cocktails, they were all delicious with a good balance of the alcohol and other flavours. Not only were the signature cocktails great, the food were amazing too! I had the Hw\xc3\xa9same Salad, Ssam's Spicy Pork Roll, Fire Dragon Roll, Ssam's Bulgogi Fromage and Black Sesame Chicken! The food is on point and it's delivious! So much flavour and my tastebuds were taken on a great ride. In addition, the staff were extremely attentive and polite. They made the dining experience even more exceptional! If you want to try unique cocktails that were invented by the bartender, eat delicious food, and have a wonderful dining experience with polite and attentive staff, give this place a shot! I will come here again! Found out about this place from a friend and blogto (still a sucker for those videos). I came on a Friday night at around 7 with no reservations and it was already quite packed. I had to sit at the bar which was fine but would suggest making reservations ahead of time to be safe. \nAtmosphere: \nCasual but intimate setting with dim lights and industrial looking light fixtures. Not too loud so you could still have comfortable conversations. \n\nFood:\nIt's more of a tapas/sharing style so better to come with friends to maximize the dishes you're able to try. \nBlack sesame chicken- bite sized fried chicken thighs with black sesame and honey coating. This was my favourite dish. I may be biased because I love anything with black sesame. The subtle sweetness of the sauce compliments the black sesame well. I give them credit for going beyond just typical korean fried chicken. \n\nKimchi Jeon- three palm sized kimchi pancakes and apparently it's vegan. This was actually recommended by the bartender as one of his favs. The skin is nice and crispy which I prefer over other pancakes that I've had as it can get a little soggy. It also comes with a soy mayo dip. I'm personally not a fan of mayo and would prefer an unagi or even a honey soy dip but that's just me. \n\nLotus roll- fried salmon, shrimp topped with a slice of fried lotus root and drizzled with unagi plus mayo sauce. It was good and quite a mouthful to eat if you're up to the challenge of eating it in one bite. I enjoyed the crunchy texture but it wasn't mind blowing for me. \n\nDrinks- ordered the lychee sour which was a mix of soho, rum, egg whites. The design on top was a nice finishing touch. It's a classic sweet drink that can serve as a dessert too. \n\nService- friendly staff and very helpful in answering my questions. It always helps to sit at the bar (easier to grab their attention). Considering they opened not too long ago, they were fairly organized and didn't have to wait too long for food to arrive. \n\nI would definitely come back to try their other items. It's a nice place to grab a drink and catch up with friends.

Food was fresh, tasty and very impressed. Service a bit slow. Over all an ok experience. Calamari were hard & nit very tasty. The cold cut plate was ok. Penne alla vodka was good & i really enjoyed the Fiamma wood oven pizza, Italian sausages with goat cheese & Aragula. I enjoyed the food, maybe I'll be back###\nNote: customer service was not the best. I had to repeat what I was ordering twice. Manners were not impressive## Waiter was rude. They will charge you for each drink and not tell you that there are no refills. Food was cold and undercooked. 30 dollars later for a plate of cold pasta and a diet coke, I will not be returning. Great place. We had a group dinner for an intimate 24 people. We got to try quite a bit of the menu. The pizza was excellent (we tried several versions). Both our dinners tasted great and very attractive. They had a fun bar crowd also. Nice big place with nice atmosphere. Wait staff was very attentive. Interior decor is dark in old 80's mob flick but I guess it has its charms if you are out for a night with the wife. \n\nThe food is pretty good. I had a pizza and salad and was satisfied with both. The pizza is wood oven thin crust and a good version of it! \n\nI also tried the gnocchi which was extremely heavy and not as good as the pizza. \n\nPrices are fairly reasonable though perhaps slightly on the high side for its location.\n\nService is friendly and attentive. All in all not a bad spot close to the airport.

Ordered sesame free range chicken and live tilapia steamed. \n\nChicken was dry/hard, it definitely wasn't free range chicken and the steamed fish had a chunk missing from it. \n\nThe fish was not tender or sweet, probably frozen. If not frozen it was refrigerated, not live. The flavour was quite bland and needed salt. Also the pan the fish came in was bent which is almost impossible to come buy. You have a better chance at winning the lottery\n\nThe flavour of the chicken was fairly plain in flavour and was very dry. \nOddly they gave 2 chicken wings when ordering half a chicken which was the only positive aspect to the food. The food here is just superb! Both for lunch and for dinner. Combos are good deals and come in a wide variety. I highly suggest their steamed seafood as they always seem to get it spot on without overcooking. Stuff from the wok is as good as I've had anywhere else as well. Service is decent, but the food is what I come for. Pro: very friendly owner\n\ncon:Too much msg in the food, it gave me an upset stomach for the whole night The star rating gives the average yelper scrolling through a bad outlook on the restaurant. My family comes here often and we quite enjoy the food. I find that the service is pretty much the same as any other Chinese restaurant, not too shabby but they're not overly excited to serve you. \nTip: there's an entrance from the underground garage at the back of the restaurant. It's like walking through the service area and out the back Ordered steamed spareribs at this place. It was 80% fat and 20% tough meat that I couldnt even bite through. Keep in mind this was pork, not beef. Also took ridiculously long to arrive. Its healthy because there's really zero flavour. If you didnt add seasoning to your cooking Im sure you could cut down a lot of calories too.

The signature broth was good but the flavor was a little weak. The ingredients included on the side varied from lackluster to average. They provide unlimited refills on noodles but the noodles didn't inspire me to abuse the offer. WHAT TO TRY?!\n\nThe different soup bases! They have about 7 or more soup bases for you to choose from. I personally liked the spicy soup more than their signature soup because there were more flavor to the soup. \n\nThis restaurant would be the second one I've been to that has this type of eating concept where you get your soup and your noodle separately and then you're suppose to add the ingredients to your boiling hot soup table side. There's definitely more soup at this restaurant but the ingredients were lacking in quality. I thought the ingredients they have were rather not worth the price tag they put with soup noodle. Parsley and some green onion like vegetable were one of the toppings?!? And the vegetable you get was one green lettuce?? I think they could do better in terms of the ingredients they provided with the soup. \n\nLike the other restaurant I went to, they also have all you can eat noodle. So you can keep reordering noodles as long as you like!\n\nWe also ordered a beef shank dish and the marinated pork feet. Beef shank looked dry and out of the fridge. It had no cool to it and it looked like a day old. The pork feet on the other hand was good. The feet were marinated well and very flavourful. \n\nLast tip?!\n\nCome hungry so you can take advantage of unlimited refills on the noodle hehehe. I personally thought their signature broth was okay, nothing special. I rather recommend you the tomato broth if you don't like spicy but if you like spicy, go for the one to three chilies. They're all better than their signature one! This is the place where they said you HAVE to tip a certain amount. \n5 years in Canada this is the first time. First time tried it today with our friends, very disappointed and never return again. we ordered spicy Crab for $42 and it is stale and unfresh. The owner said we ordered it and they can't do anything with it. What a Awosome hospitality! The waitress was nice, we didn't want to give her hard time just asked her to take away Junk food. Guys if you are dare enough go for it. A considerably quiet restaurant given that they had just opened for business. The restaurant specializes in rice noodle soup but also offers side dishes as well as crawfish for dinner service. \n\nWe ordered the Rice Noodle in Spicy Sauce and a side of Beef with Soy Sauce. The side of beef was disappointing as it was bland and even the chill dipping sauce couldn't save it. The noodle soup was on the other end of the spectrum. The soup was delicious... just right on the level of spiciness and sourness. It came in a set of 3; a bowl for the broth, a bowl of noodles, and a tray consisting of 'side dishes' and meat. At first it seems like you're getting a lot of food. Essentially, you put everything you get into the bowl of soup which gives you option of only putting in the vegetables you want. In my opinion, I think they should make the soup hotter to allow the 'side dishes' and noodles to cook better. \n\nNote: They give free refills on the rice noodle!

What do you expect? This place is quick and dirty. Sloppy half put together burrito/bowls. Feel like the majority of the people who come here are desperate for food and can't really leave the U of T campus area. Just walk a little further out. I promise it's worth it Came here for a burrito. I got the baked chicken. Funny thing is I think that normally it needs to contain chicken to be considered a chicken burrito. There was barely any in there. I love burritos but this was the first one in a long time I did not finish. I left probably a quarter of it in the trash. Would not come back here. Seems like uoft students are helping this place cling to life as they serve horrible food to hungry kids. Quick and filling meal for around $10. I\'ve usually stuck with their chicken burrito, which I find can be a bit dry occasionally. They stack typical burrito toppings on quite generously, so be prepared for a big and possibly messy burrito when you eat it.\n\nI\'ve also heard that their naked burrito bowls are delicious, although I\'ve never gotten around to trying one. Do beware that their "small" sizes are quite filling for me for a dinner, so unless you\'re very, very, then opt for the bigger burrito sizes.\n\nEven if there\'s a long line-up, typical wait times are around 5 minutes at most, which is pretty reasonable for a place that mainly does take-out orders. There are about a dozen or so seats, but the environment there is a bit loud and full especially during peak lunch hours. Fat Bastard's is okay, considering the limiting choices near St. George campus. It's a good place to fix your burrito craving.\n\nThe small burrito was enough for lunch... you have been warned. I got the tequila lime chicken (fried, of course), and it was fantastic. Loved it. The first scoop of guacamole is free. However, the service wasn't exactly polite. And I really didn't mean to, but I looked up and saw the lamps. The dusty lamps. Right above the (unprotected) food. Best not to think about that when you're enjoying your burrito. I'm from Southern California, so I know good Mexican food. I was excited when this place opened up across my lab, but it is not a good burrito. It's a wannabe Chipotle burrito. The burritos drip too much, and they get the meat wrong. It is a good deal for all the food that you get, but there are plenty of better Mexican food options just a ten minute walk away in Kensington.

Ehh...\n\nWe decided to try this local sushi/teppenyaki place for a friend's birthday. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE service!\n\nDifferent items were given at random times. The bento boxes came first, and all of the raw sushi (which doesn't require MUCH preparation!) came last...I seriously waited for more than an HOUR for my nigiri! It wasn't even a busy Thursday night! I noticed that the sushi chef was just serving those at the sushi bar, and the waitress didn't even try to bug the chef to hurry it up! I was the last one to receive my food! The food wasn't even that great either! The salmon nigiri was kind of slimy, and the spicy tuna was just alright; The rolls were seriously not worth the wait! The waitress tried to be nice later, after I told her that it took TOO long, and she gave us 4 bowls of green tea ice cream on the house....didn't really win me over...I still feel that I should have been comped for it...\n\nWe ended up staying at this crappy restaurant for almost 2 1/2 hours! I will never go here again! Please save yourself the trouble, and go somewhere that you know will have GOOD sushi (even if you have to drive far!)! Been here a few times. the food is okay. the service is okay. it had problems with the demerits from the health dept. some pretty bad ratings from them so I don't go anymore I have eaten here 5 times, the first two times it was incredible. Then the last three visits just went downhill, The very last time I was there it was lunch time during the week, the waitress had maybe my table and one other, she was just standing around day dreaming, she was hanging her arms on the counter just staring out at nothing. I was disgusted that I had to walk over to her every time for a refill on our drinks and to check on our order. We ordered fried rice and it had to have been the absolute worst fried rice ever! I swear they put an entire onion in my order, and it tasted raw. I was really upset because I had thought it was a descent place to go to. Every since I have not been back because all I think about when I drive by it is that onion. This restaurant is great!!! The service is so good and the food is even better!\nThe teppanyaki servers are so fun and exciting!\nThe prices on the food are cheaper than any other restaurant around!!\n\nI really really reccomend FUKUDA! Review is just for the AYCE menu. Good selection, they even have sashimi. But tuna is frozen tuna. Salmon was excellent. Went there twice in one week and both times,(someone else's choice). they were out of uni. Service is great and the hibachi meals look great!

I have never been to a Rubio's before. It was great! Fish taco was hot and delicious. The Manager guy had a customer problem up front while I was there and I thought he did a great job of resolving it. I will be back Great location, food quality is exceptional. Really love their salsas. Staff is super friendly and efficient. I read lots of really positive reviews about this Rubios and while staff is friendly the Mahi Burrito tasted like mostly Mayonnaise. The fish inside was good but not the sauce. Salmon Burrito was alright and the two shrimp tacos were tasty with sauce. If you really need shrimp tacos this spot is alright. So delicious and so fresh! Also the customer service here is EXCEPTIONAL I love when I can see an owner or manager working right along aide their employees taking orders, expoing food and taking food to the clients.. all while stopping by each table to make sure everyone is satisfied.. I had better service here then in most sit down full service restaurants. Thank you for a great meal and dining experience :) The service at this Rubios is great! The woman that helped me had a big smile and was super friendly. My food came out quick and was delicious as always. While I mark a star off, I am saddened that they don't have whole wheat tortillas anymore. The Baja Grill Chicken Burrito was still yummy though.

Very delicious chicken, we got the chicken sandwich, grilled salad, and the big combo. The wings were more flavorful and popular with my family than the fingers. Sweet tea was great aswell. Would come again if stopping in the area! In vegas for veterans day and I was driving to the Hoover Dam with my friends and was starving for something good! Saw a little old place in Boulder City that was once a drive in diner called the Chicken Shack! I ordered 2 #4 combinations of 3 wings 3 chicken fingers and an order of fries. Have to say I was surprised at how great the fried chicken is. It reminded me of chicken I used to eat flavor and seasoning 20 years ago at Tuskegee University at a place called the chicken coop. Chicken had just enough flavor and seasoning , the chicken fingers were good also but I like the fried chicken pieces better. The French fries were great also and so was the iced tea for it to be in Nevada it was probably the best sweet iced tea I had a long time. This is a place owned by a couple and they were really friendly and made me feel right at home would definitely recommend going again! Great stop from Lake Mead or Hoover Dam, the food was fresh and delicious, the service was even better!! We wish we would have know about this place sooner! Best chicken ever... The breading on the chicken fingers is thin and crispy with a subtle spice, the meat is moist and tender. The owner says they never use frozen chicken breasts which is the reason it's so good. The fries are addictive; thin and crispy and always hot. They make their own fry sauce, and I think it's just great. My husband sometimes gets a salad, and he's never been disappointed. \nThe service is very friendly and the food comes out from the kitchen fast. Cute decor, and the key fob for the restroom is a big rubber chicken. The only downside is that seating is limited, so once in a great while you have to wait to get a table. No big deal...the food is worth it. Another perk is that the building is an old drive-in, so there is covered parking.\nLove this place! Excellent lunch on our way back to Vegas from Hoover Damn. Only 15 min from the Damn. Clean and friendly and obviously loved by the locals.

I visited Meatballz several weeks ago before a night at the movies. All I can say is that the Calzone crust was obviously made out of Pillsbury's Hot Roll Mix and dry out of the box tortellini is not what I expected for nearly $9 for a small bowl. Never returning. I live nearby so we thought we'd drop by- big mistake. We called so we could take it home-it began with them being out of a menu item then we had to press them to add a side (which COMES with the meal!). When we arrived, they charged us for an extra entree and they were not very friendly when we pointed this out. The meal was HORRIBLE. The eggplant was soggy, NOTHING like the picture, and VERY SMALL. Not at all worth the price. The brownoli was blah (tasted like it came out of a box). We walked away feeling ripped off- we would never return here. I used to eat at their original location in North Scottsdale and I think this is their newest franchise. The original location is the best since the owners family and friends are in the kitchen and behind the counter. They make almost everything in house including their mozzarella.\nI was very excited to try their newest location but I was a little disappointed. The original location is still amazing and the best! Good food, good service, great prices. Unlike most Chandler restaurants where service is terrible, prices are not worthy of the quality of food and service is normally sub par. This place is great! If you are looking for high end, go someplace else, this is the laid back, comfortable place to eat something good at a fair price. Meatball sliders!!! My family and I ate dinner at Meatballz tonight. The service was fast, the food was tasty, the portions were very generous, the kids were happy, the owner insisted on making sure we were enjoying ourselves, well fed, and had boxes to take home what we couldn't finish.\n\nIt's not a romantic little Italian cafe with candlelight and linens; it doesn't claim to be with a name like Meatballz, but it's a happy little place for an informal family dinner.

Not bad for a chain at all, this joint used to be stuck in a gas station down the road if you can believe it. \n\nWe got the typical pizza, wings, hoagie combo.\n\nThe Italian hoagie was decent. Some would say they skimped on the meat, but I didn't mind too much. It was a fine hoagie. \n\nThe wings had lots of meat on them and were flavorful. I got the Garlic Parm. \n\nNow for the pizza itself. It was a thin crust, but was thin without being floppy. It was very soft too, the cheese being creamy and melt-in-the-mouth good. \n\nNo complaints here. Being new to the area, I was super excited to see we had a fox's... it's our go to for quick and easy dinners Always fast and courteous service. Great food at great prices. Delivery is always received hot and faster than expected. Food is always consistently delicious. Friendly staff and fast delivery! Love how they always have great specials and coupons too. Ordered from here this week and one of the pizza's was made wrong. Called them up and a new pizza was made for us and delivered immediately. Awesome customer service!! Very fresh toppings and tasting pizza!

Multiple visits to determine consistency with the Meatball Parm Sandwich dropped lower when on this visit, the meatballs were sliced. Sorry but when expecting a meatball sandwich, slicing the meatballs changes the complete texture of the sandwich, and the bottom fell out, Again!\n\nLet me know when things improve for reconsideration for the new website. Arrived Today at 530 pm and we were sat at 6:13 pm. We ordered our food at 6:20pm. We walked out at 7:10pm and our entrees were not served. Only excuse we heard from the waitress was, "not my fault and can\'t control the kitchen." Almost two hours and was only served bread and our drinks. Amazing!!!! No apology nothing not offered a free appetizer nothing been a customer regularly for over four years, NEVER again am I going back. This did it, u guys need to step up the game with better customer service and stop taking ur customer for granted. Taking my family of four elsewhere. We ate here regularly two-three times monthly and our tab was $80-100. BYE- BYE!!! I love this place! The garlic knots are so addicting. The portions are huge, I was able to take most of it home and still got 2 more meals out of it. They used to have a location off of Sahara, which was 15 miles from me, but since it closed they only have one location in Henderson. It is around 30 miles from me, but it is worth the trip! The cookies are delicious! Try the ones with the cream chees frosting on top. Ask for Tonianne, she is the best server around and very helpful. So sorry this authentic Italian restaurant has closed. You will be missed, your sausage and rapini, chicken Parmesan,meatballs, and the desserts, oh my the desserts. Toni Ann and Steve, wherever you are, Rich and I wish you all the best. We always felt like family when we came. We will think of you often, and hope wherever and whatever you do, you are safe. Love this place. Best garlic knots I've had. And they are given out for free. Most authentic italian place I've been in this city- like I stepped into a time machine/vortex to 1979 little Italy. Prices are perfect $3 dinner salad. $13 chicken parm. Sauces are amazing. Service was perfect

John was the best waiter, and manager, he makes sure everything is done right and everyone treated right, he has been demoted twice so far as we know, well if he isn't there then I don't believe there will be any business because they all like him there. Artrio, he is not a good waiter or manager, we left change for him on his table, it was over a dollar, he yelled at us in front of customers and threaten to throw it at us when we left the door. We will never show up there again lost customer for sure. So I am sat at the counter and waited for my server for about 10 mins. Then while waiting for my food the manager worked in front of me without saying hi once. "Small Mexican lady who was older" I finally get my food and I am missing my appetizer. Well they went and got it but that should have came out before the meal. Then I had to go get my own silverware. Horrible experience. The only good side was this Spanish gay waiter. He wasn\'t my server but he did at least speak. My server was a heavier set black lady with braids in her hairs. She was very pleasant but none too bright. The place wasn\'t even busy lol If i could give zero stars, i would. But it doesn\'t give me the option. We did not even get a chance to eat the food and I can already tell you the reviews for this location are correct. The place looked dirty and smelled suspicious. Customer service was horrible. They didn\'t take our name down when we arrived. The girl at the front seemed confused and we had to ask if she got our #correct because we kept seeing people get seated before us. When they finally were ready to seat us, one of the waiters pointed at our table in the back and did not walk us to it. Our table was still dirty and my brother had to ask for a napkin so we could clean the bench. We waited at our table for 15 minutes and noticed our waiter helping other tables and not once did he come to our table to get our drinks. We decided to go somewhere else. When we left a waiter asked "what happened" and my niece stated that we have waited too long and are taking our money elsewhere. Horrible horrible service and staff this morning. There is some type of staff dispute that you can get wind of spilling over to the customers. Despite there being more staff than tables we couldn't get refills on items. Our server spilled coffee on our table and didn't clean it up. There as no manager on the floor. We weren't given our check by our server but rather I had to stare down the cashier who eventually brought it to us. I wish I had anything positive to say but there was no excuse for our experience. Staff issues should not spill over to customers and there is no excuse for leaving your tables alone for so long when you don't have others coming in. This is the worst Dennys experience I've had . Been here for an hour plus and still no food . This is worse than a doctor's office . They honestly do not know what they are doing here it's a S**t show . They continue seating people down knowing they cannot keep up with demand . If I can give 0 stars I would. Best advice I can give this place, SHUT IT DOWN......!!!!!!

The kotthu here is the main draw. Very well-seasoned and fat-free!\n\nShort eats - fish cutlets are divine! The vegetarian roti nicely seasoned ... and the TV/blaring music great entertainment! Nice place, good prices and FRESHLY MADE! Chicken kotthu was out of bounds delish!!!!! Ordered chicken biryani this evening. The chef forgot to put the piece of chicken and egg in there.\nMildly disappointed. However the biryani was good! Came here on a referral and was not disappointed. \n\nThey are truly good at what they do. I ordered the Lamb and Chilli Chicken Kothu Roti and they were both good. \n\nPortions are huge and they are not stingey... but remember you are eating majority carbs! i do find myself being all bloated and guilty after. But that is at no fault of the restaurant. \n\ni could not even finish half the portion they gave... which ensured that i had lunch the next day.\n\nKeep in mind it is very spicy. \n\nIt is definitely not an everyday thing, but once in a while its good to change it up. I think i will probably return one of these days. Food was tasty, spicy but definitely enjoyable. Ordered the noodles, biryani, and a curry with roti. Next time I'll try the kothuroti. The portions were sizable, had enough for 4 people for dinner and then lunch again the next day. Spoke with the owner, Babu, quite friendly to all his customers, takes the time to chat with each one. So you'll need to go in with a few minutes to spare. The food is quite oily, you can see about an inch of oil floating on top of the curry. A treat for a lazy Sunday. My go to place for kothu roti. I have been here many times and each time they do not fail to amaze me. The flavors are always spot on. If you like spicy food as much as i do, this is a must try. \n\nI usually get the beef or lamb kothu roti be ause a feel the chicken is a bit dry but still good.\n\nEmployees are friendly. This location mostly for take out but there is one table and 2 chairs in there.\n\nI would also recommend trying the mutton roll. They have thin skin and a good amount of mutton inside.

Haven't had Baja Fresh for some years. But was craving their burritos with the yummy chips and salsa bar. Walked in to see they have a LOBSTER burrito thing. Well that was easy.\n\nWe ended up getting that and some steak burrito, which I didn't care for. But the lobster burrito was delicious with lot's of great flavor and more lobster chunks than I had expected.\n\n(Don't you hate when you forget to review after going to the place and then when you actually have time to write the review, you forget half the information?? Darn.) i'm impatient. so i should have called in my order. they took a while to get my ultimo burrito done. not enough meat. too many bell peppers. next time i'll get the baja burrito. chips were really oily. like it was from the bottom of the frying basket. usually its just a couple.. but they were all like that. service was bad. the cashier greeted everyone with an 'you ready?' .. which isnt really a greeting.. and when you werent ready he kinda shifted his weight to his other side and his head followed his body. like he was being scolded.. and wasnt listening. anyway.. i'll try again and hopefully add another star. I watched Undercover Boss one night and the CEO of this company was on. Very moving and inspirational episode!!! Lots of tears and tugging to the heart. I spontaneously came here with my Mother and surprisingly.. she hasn\'t had any fresh Mexican food neither have I in a long time. So we were both in for a treat :)\n\nIt was around 5p.m. and we were kindly greeted by the general manager, that was also my cashier. It was nice to see he was hands on than a GM that just sits in the back office all day. Jose Garcia took our food orders and I forgot to get a drink, which he was more than happy to accommodate. He gave me a refillable plastic "to go" cup, which anybody can bring in any time to refill for .99 cents forever! So it says on the cup :D How nice!!! I love tea and they had four varieties to choose from... all you have to do is push the button of the one you want to drink and it pours out. I loved their sweetened Green Tea and Nestea Raspberry Iced Tea has always been one of my favorites.\n\nWe headed straight to their famous fresh Salsa bar... which had six different kinds to choose from. My Mother picked both Hot Salsa sauces and I picked the famous green sauce.. Salsa Verde Medium and the Salsa Mango Mild with tons of cilantro added to it. I loved the Mango Salsa the most out of all and I went back a few times to get it refilled. Chunks of freshly diced mango, red pepper, and jalapeno. You can tell it was made that day and it definitely had some heat to it, but it sure made everything taste refreshing and good. My mother enjoyed both Hot salsa sauces and the Mango salsa. Word of caution.. once you taste the sweetness of the mango, it made the salsa verde green sauce taste bitter. \n\nWe ordered one Baja Chicken and Steak Burrito. It also came with a side of tasty golden torito chips, which had a nice crunch and ate all of them at the very end with my mango salsa!!! Delicious! The Steak burrito was hearty and filling. The handmade guacamole, melted jack cheese and Pico de Gallo made the burrito come alive. The Chicken Burrito was delicious and tasted better with the mango salsa. Both tasted so healthy... it was guilt-free to enjoy. \n\nMy mother loved these burritos so much she asked me the very next week to eat there, but this time we took my father and they happened to be closed!!! It was 9:30p.m. and they were cleaning up. Now I know.. Baja Fresh closes at 9p.m. even in Las Vegas! My mother was so bummed and goes.. those are some good burritos.. where are we going to go now??!? :( \n\nService was great and the salsa station was always refilled whenever anything looked half gone. Even saw the GM change a light bulb by the drink station as soon as he noticed it. He greeted every single person that walked through the door and asked how they were doing. Even some by name! He also came around to each table and asked how everything was. Very hands on and that is impressive. He was cleaning all around the place, taking orders, and answering the phone for takeout orders. He showed a great example of how to be a role model that people can admire and learn from. David Kim would be so proud! Grabbing a quick bite for lunch and the coworkers wanted to head here. The place was very clean and the wait was minimal. Our food was served hot, fresh, and quick. We had a nice relaxing lunch and enjoyed our food. This store is very clean, speedyA and accurate. The three times I have eaten here I have received EXCELLENT service from Giselle. I am a big fan of friendly service and cleanliness. This store does what it takes and has great employees.

I like that this place is solid and reliable. It's a sandwich place! They make good sandwiches. The staff is always friendly and I've never had a problem with anything I've eaten here. If you're looking for a good meatball or chicken sandwich, you're way better off here than you are at Subway next door.\n\nTry it! It's just a good sandwich place. Thought this was gonna be more exciting than it was. I don't even think there was cheese on my chicken sandwich? A crazy amount of bread:meat ratio. I'll just go to Subway next door. Delicious! I ordered the junior grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and sweet peppers. The difference between the regular and the Junior is and extra patty or piece of meat on the bun, although I found I was satisfactorily full from just the one. Location is convenient and it's always nice to have a little picnic in Trinity Bellwoods Park, even if you don't actually pack food. The service was phenomenal and the lady at front (I believe was Italian) was super sweet and personable and incredibly efficient. Overall a terrific experience, definitely will stop by again. Just tried these sandwiches. We had veal, steak and chicken. Everyone enjoyed! I second someone else here that it is on par with California sandwiches. Will definitely order again. Service was amazing. I tried the veggie sandwich. It was AMAZING. You would think a veggie sandwich would be boring, but not here! I was so satisfied with my meal, it was loaded with mushrooms, peppers, and onions. The cheese and sweet sauce made it that much better. Super filling and hearty. Cant wait to go back!

Somalia. A place many Americans probably couldn't place on a map, but a place most Americans have probably heard of (mostly for unflattering reasons). Whether its the infamous Somali civil war and its aftereffects, the American casualties that were the inspiration for the film Black Hawk Down, or Somali pirates hijacking passing ships like Captain Phillips' Maersk Alabama, much of what we hear about Somalia ain't pretty. The result of Somalia's troubles has brought tens of thousands of Somali immigrants to the U.S. over the last 40 years. Now Somalians and their Somali-American kids are as much a part of the fabric of America as any nationality. And as their numbers grow, so too does the availability of their cuisine (lucky us).\n\nBasheir Elmi is the man behind Waamo, one of the only Somalian restaurants in Phoenix thus far as best I can tell. The menu here at Waamo is Somalian first and foremost, but with Ethiopian and other northern African and Mediterranean influences mixed in. You'll find this humble restaurant right in the middle of a strip center on the north side of McDowell Road just west of 51st Street. There's seating for maybe 40 or so inside, but the place was a buzz with activity when I arrived at dinner time on a Friday. Admittedly I was the only nin cad in the place (that's white guy in Somali FYI) as the place was full of African and African American families, many of whom were conversing in Somali and maybe even a few in Arabic. No problem though as the waiter spoke perfect English and enthusiastically took care of me from start to finish.\n\nFinding information on what constitutes authentic Somalian food is surprisingly difficult (even via Wikipedia). Somalia's history as a hub of trade and commerce (the result of being a gateway between the Red Sea and Indian Ocean) means there's a bunch of influences all mixed up in their cuisine. I know goat is a big thing there, but that's about all I knew. With a little help from my waiter (didn't catch his name, sorry), he helped me pick a couple of items that would give me a good introduction.\n\nFirst up, Sambusas. Similar to samosas, these are fried pastries with crispy dough that are filled to gills with beef and a variety of spices. The appetizer comes two sambusas to a plate. These were killer. Delicious crunchy dough, perfectly cooked ground meat and the spices were all over the map. A simple yet complex taste for the senses and a wonderful start to the meal. For the main dish, I opted for their signature dish. The Waamo Plate. A massive plate of chicken, a dash of lime, rice, pasta, cream, and a mix of seasonings that almost remind me of tandoori (also came with a side of pita bread). This stack of food takes up almost the whole plate and is about a couple inches thick. Undoubtedly meant to be shared, this was a heavy lift for me. But a worthwhile lift it was. Phenomenally tasty with the rice and noodles providing a mix of textures with each bite. The chicken was cooked just right and the seasonings were abundant throughout. I was stuffed to the gills, but the waiter prevailed upon me to have some of their house made hot tea, which they threw in on the house. The hot tea here is a mix of black tea, milk, sugar, cinnamon and ginger and provided a smooth easy drinking finish that set me just right after a massive meal.\n\nTotal cost for the food plus tax and tip came to $20. Dynamite value, dynamite flavors, dynamite service. Looking around at the patrons during my meal, it's pretty clear just how much this establishment means to the valley's African and African-American communities. A relaxed place to gather, to eat, to relax, to feel at home. Its experiences like tonight's that remind me just how great it is to experience the growing diversity of the valley's culinary scene. And how even people from far flung countries like Somalia have so much to offer to our local communities. Need Somali Flat bread for my daughters Social Studies project. Found this place , super friendly and everyone that came in spoke, thought I was in the south again! Bread was great and a hit for her class. I will be back again! Previously the "Blue Nile" Restaurant (which I believe has just moved to another location, but is still open), this place may not be elegant... but what it might lack in elegant surrounds (and it\'s actually really cool looking inside), it DEFINITELY makes up for in the food taste and quality!!\nIf you\'ve never tried Ethiopian food, you\'re seriously missing out! Give it a try... bet you like it! The only reason we ended up here was because Sonic wasn't open on Christmas Day. We spotted a bunch of African cabbies in a parking lot so we parked and explored our options. Most went into Juba so we did too.\n\nThe place was a big dingy so we opted for takeout. Greek salad, falafels, king fish, Lamb shank, Mediterranean appetizers. But the owner came to the market to find us and tell us they didn't have any more falafels. We changed to Lamb kabob and chicken kabobs.\n\nEverything came with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. The best was the rice which was seasoned with cardamom and raisins and other spices. The worst was the hummus and falafel in the appetizer plate. I ate a chicken kabob in pita which was quite good. The meat was still juicy and the dressing was just right.\n\nI would order everything except the appetizer plate. Mediterranean plate was good they were out of falafel so they gave us 2 Sambusa. That was nice substitute. The #4 qutulaash was good with beef. And the #12 Lamb shank was my favorite the meat fell off the bone and was juicy too. The Ice tea was delicious and the hot tea was a great finish. Definitely will be coming back for more soon. Awesome flavors and tastes are amazing.

We got a medium one-topping pizza (mushroom) for two adults and two kids. There were 2 slices per person. We have small kids, so if you have a party of 4 adults, perhaps think about getting another pizza or two to fill you up. The crust was crispy and thin, surprisingly very good. The pizza took up the entire box, unlike some fast food pizza places where the pizza is barely there when you open the box! \n\nThis was a great place to stop for a quick and inexpensive bite to eat in Toronto. They did have a few white plastic tables and chairs set up in the front of the store outside. So we sat and ate our pizza while watching other tourists stroll down the sidewalk. It was a relaxing lunch. We stopped here on our way to the CN Tower. When we're in town again, I know we'll revisit this place. Stopped here for a quick slice. Great pizza. They have a perfectly crisp bottom crust. Great place to grab a slice. just ordered from mammas after a couple of years, and what a huge mistake! This place used to be good. It sucks now! Chicken Parmesan didnt even taste like chicken, sauce tasted old and burnt, side pasta was soooo overcooked with the old burnt tomato sauce as was used on the chicken, overall a horrible dining experience that ended up in the garbage. To add insult to injury, the delivery creep was leering at me up and down. One of the better pizzas I've tried. Have never tried Mamma's before this but I will be buying from them in the future. Soggy pizza with sweet sauce. Average amount of pepperoni, a bit oily. Slightly undercooked overall. Atmosphere includes TVs and open air dining options. Just okay.

This is in the Garden Basket plaza and it reminds me of Ai Sushi, which is in the plaza on the other side of Markham Road. They also have platters that are a really good value. We ordered the 40 piece sashimi, sushi, and rolls platter for $30. For dine-in, I would prefer Kiru because they provide you with actual plates and utensils vs. Ai Sushi that gives you take out cutlery when you dine in. We also ordered Mustard Roll ($5.99) which was interesting because it was torched salmon drizzled with mustard sauce. This was more than enough for 3 people. The prices were definitely lower than other a la carte sushi places in Markham and the sushi was fresh. \n\nWe went on a Tuesday afternoon and we were the only table there but once it hit noon, groups of high school students came in for lunch time. They were very efficient though and served all the tables very quickly. \n\nThe waitress was also very attentive. It was also nice that she switched in between speaking English to me and Chinese to my dad! I would come back here again to satisfy my sushi cravings! great to see more options for reasonably priced sushi in this area. great place to get your sushi craving fulfilled while keeping the wallet happy. rolls are well sized and filling. Hidden gem! Unpretentious, fresh fish, amazing prices, friendly service. \n\nKiru Sushi is located in the strip mall at the northeast corner of Main and 16th, where the Garden Basket is (closer to the Subway). It's not fancy by any means but it is clean and simply decorated. I heard this place used to be an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant but it's under new management so it is all \xc3\xa0 la carte now. There is a decent variety of menu items: appetizers (tataki, gyoza, tempura, no kaarage though), sashimi, nigiri (including some torched options), maki (hoso, classic, and house specialties), donburi, 'pizza', teriyaki, fried rice, and udon (stir fried and soup). There are several reasonably-priced 'platter' options as well - I wouldn't hesitate to order one of them for a party.\n\nWe ordered way too much for three people but there were just so many things we wanted to try. The veggie tempura was pretty good- very light batter, 2 pieces each of broccoli, yam slices, zucchini, and whole shiitake mushrooms. The spicy salmon, spicy tuna and BBQ eel classic rolls were good- rice wasn't mushy, rolled properly (they weren't falling apart), big chunks of fresh fish. I would have liked slightly bigger pieces of eel but that's ok. I didn't think the spicy tuna and salmon were very spicy though. \n\nThe other four house specialty rolls were good too. The honey mustard roll had a bit too much honey mustard for me but I liked the torched salmon. The spider roll was delightful and crunchy. The spicy scallop and kamikaze once again weren't too spicy but that did allow the fresh seafood flavour to come through better. Even though I found these rolls to be on the fat side, making it hard to eat on one bite, I really loved that each order is only 4 pieces - at a reasonable price of $4.99 or $5.99 each, I can try many more rolls! \n\nThe 30 piece sashimi platter was very impressive. The salmon was thick and fatty. I'm a big fan of the herring but I know it can be on the fishy side for some. The white tuna catchall fish was neat- almost tasted like it was smoked, or maybe it was just from the light sear - it didn't taste like any of the other white tuna I've had before. The head-on shrimp were lovely too- not mushy or dirt-y tasting. Red snapper was normal - not my fave as it usually tastes dirt-y to me, but this one didn't, though I will say it was a bit watery (maybe from being thawed?). Red tuna was nice and thick too. Octopus was a bit chewy but that's expected, while the surf clam wasn't so that was great. \n\nService was really good- the waitress came by regularly to fill up our green tea. They weren't very busy but our food came out quickly, as did the others' around us. One odd thing is they don't have any lunch specials. Maybe it's coming soon. But with the excellent prices they currently have, I don't know that they need any lunch specials - I could just mix and match to make a perfect sushi combo. Oh, they accept Visa. I would definitely come back again! Went to try out this restaurant. Surprise by the fresh fish delivered from japan. Ordered a madai, it's fresh and sweet. The sashimi platter was great. Presentation is nice. Ordered hot dishes too but next time I will skip the hot dish. Will be back only for the sushi/sashimi. This is a new both dine-in and take-out sushi restaurant. It is quite small with about 10 tables each seating two to four guests. When we went there were three waitresses, two sushi chefs, a few cooks in the back and a man I presume is the manager. We had reservations and was seated promptly. They have fish flown in from the tsujiri fish market apparently and a decent variety of fish to choose from. We ordered two green teas, two miso soups, and an 80 piece sushi, sashimi and roll platter amongst two people. The fish sashimi came out first and was presented nicely. Good assortment and larger chunks in terms of sizing. The con would be though fresh, the fish was frozen. Once we finished the sashimi, the sushi and rolls came out. The spicy salmon was OK but could be more flavourful. The other rolls were quite typical with the avocado, cucumber, crunchy tempura and small salmon pieces. Pricing was fair as total was just under $50. We couldn't finish all the rolls so a waitress took them to the back to bag them up. Unfortunately, she missed providing soy sauce. Overall, I'd say this place is just OK.

We were looking for a Japanese place to try, and after reading the reviews decided to give this place a try. WOW! I have had good sushi before (I lived in SoCal for three months for work) and never have I had sushi as fresh as this. The prices are amazing, the service is fantastic, and everything was delicious, fresh, and the portions were huge! They also gave us a free cucumber and crab salad and a 8-piece roll of avacado and eel sushi to try and both were great. We took our two small children and they gave us free soups and salads for them too! \nI wouldn't say this in in Quail Hollow (we live in Southpark) so it was a little further than we expected, but we will DEFINITELY be back, no matter the location (which is in a nice shopping center with Earthfare). \n\nMy husband and I had the Bento boxes, which were $12.95, came with soup, salad, rice, tempura vegetables, teriyaki meat, a six-piece California roll, and two goyza dumplings. AMAZING! I was having a sushi craving attack and saw that people had given this place great reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. \n\nThat they were understaffed was a huge understatement. Kevin, our server, (the nicest guy you could hope to meet) was getting chewed out by tables right and left because he was the only one in the restaurant and they weren't getting things on time or fast enough. I hate to see a server blamed for things that are out of their control, such as the management's decision not to bring in enough staff in that night.\n\nThe food? Amazing! The only disappointment was that the sashimi I ordered was still partially frozen. We also got charged for an item that never made it. They made up for it by bringing us some decent shrimp dumplings.\n\nKevin made the experience very pleasant even though things didn't run as smoothly as they could. If we go back again, we'll ask to be seated in his section. \n\nThe verdict: the roll and sashimi we got that wasn't frozen were excellent! Everyone can have a bad day, so I think we'll try it again and hopefully update the star rating. I've eaten in here a few times now and I have to say I am quickly becoming a regular. The lunch specials are crazy affordable and delicious. \n\nThere is usually a hibachi lunch special for $5.95 which includes a cup of soup, salad, chicken or steak hibachi, and two big scoops of rice. It's quite a bit of food and it's all really good.\n\nThey also have sushi specials for lunch. The last special I got consisted of three rolls (cucumber, california, and tuna), a cup of soup and a salad for $8.45. Everything was very fresh and tasty.\n\nThe staff is very friendly, almost too friendly at times :). \n\nIf you are in the Ballantyne area at lunch I suggest you give them a try! Great lunch specials - Hibachi Chicken for $5.95. Comes with soup and salad. Portions are perfectly sized and I walked away full and happy. Food quality was quite good. Service was excellent. I go here a few times a month. The sushi here tastes very fresh and the portion sizes are great. The place is never too crowded on the weekends so the service is pretty fast and polite. \n\nMy only wish is that they had outdoor seating. Prices are very reasonable and the sushi chef welcomes everyone who walks in. I used to go to Jade in Ballantyne which is the other sushi joint. If you want a nice scene then Jade is the place. However, if you want the best quality sushi then Tokyo is for you. Great place to eat in or for take out.

I wish I could give this restaurant 6 stars :) I ate here last year & was impressed, but It's even better this time. The hostess was warm and friendly. I ate at the bar and found the bartender to be very attentive. I started with a delicious glass of Malbac & moved on to the French onion soup. It was probably the best I've had. I then ordered the steak salad, which is a delicious mix of field greens, saut\xc3\xa9ed onions and peppers, fabulous homemade ranch dressing, lots of steak and Parmesan & Rosemary French fries. Wow! So good!!!! If you're looking for a date night place, look no further. My husband and I love coming here to celebrate a birthday or our anniversary or just for a nice date night. The steak is always unbelievable and you could cut it with a butter knife. I love going here! I've been an avid Yelp user in my current digs in Shadyside for a long time, and I also rely heavily on my fellow Yelpers when I'm traveling. Prior to my current visit back home to my parents in Carnegie (yes, that long arduous trek over the hills and through the Fort Pitt Tunnel), though, I hadn't done much Yelp-sploring in the South Hills area of Pittsburgh. My mom and I were at our usual crossroads in deciding where to have dinner, so I went to Yelp for a little assistance, and came across Bistro 19. \n\nNestled into a cute stretch of Washington Road bustling with boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, we were pleased to find a small, cozy, dimmed space and a table by the window (which was still very toasty despite the January temps outside!). As other reviewers have commented, one of the highlights of the meal was the bread basket: two different, warm varieties with some delicious whipped honey chive butter for good measure on the side. For our main courses, my mom got the lobster gnocchi, which came loaded with a whole king lobster tail perched on a bed of gnocchi swimming in a rich gouda leek sauce. I was lucky enough to sample a bite (or two), and it was absolutely delicious. My first generation Italian mama gave it her stamp of approval. As for me, I had the Bay of Fundy salmon, which came with sides of Basmati rice and asparagus, the latter of which was deliciously crunchy and fresh despite the time of year. The salmon itself was perfectly cooked with a sweet and savory maple Dijon glaze on top. The kicker, though, was the toasted pecans and goat cheese which sat atop the glaze. Some of my favorite salad accompaniments on top of salmon was definitely different, but absolutely delicious. He portion was generous (yay for leftovers!), so we were able to ration some room for dessert. We got the apple bread pudding (yum) and the popcorn sundae, which was like a grown-up bowl of Cracker Jacks with salted caramel ice cream and real whipped cream.\n\nOverall, Bistro 19 was a delicious find in the South Hills. For the quality meal we had, I thought the prices were very reasonable: with salad/soup, main courses, and desserts (but no drinks), our bill came out to around $80. Hoping to be back soon for a special (or not-so-special) occasion! Has it really been almost a month since I\'ve reviewed a restaurant in Pittsburgh?? Well, for shame Neal M. let me remedy this directly and I couldn\'t have picked a much better spot than Bistro 19 to begin my spring reviews. I was here for dinner on Tuesday of last week with a couple business associates. I arrived a little after 7 PM to meet Tom and Mike who were seated at the bar enjoying their first cocktail. The space itself is quite nice and intimate. However, they seem to use the space well as to make it seem much larger than it\'s actual I\'d guess 1,000 - 1,500 sq. ft dimension. You enter and are greated by a large bar typcially packed with locals in casual wear and suits alike, The interior is sparce and minimalist with high ornate ceilings and tables located throughout but not so close as to lack privacy. The colors are dark deep browns, gold and green. The tile columns and exposed wine rack are also a nice touch. The bathroom is located in the back near the kitchen entrance and are large and well designed. After a cocktail at the bar we make our way to a table in the back with a nice view of the bustling suburban street on a spring weekday. The server greets us promptly with a big smile and reviews the features while grabbing us all another cocktail. I\'m having dirty martini rocks which are pretty good, however lacking those really big olives that I likeand most often get at steakhouses. The meal starts with some bread and butter, meh.. then we order a couple of appetizers. Mike says he really likes the "pot stickers", so we try those and then also try the lemon pepper calamari. The calamari is fine served very lightly breaded with some type of mayo sauce or remoulade. The pot stickers are also adequate spiced with some type of thai sauce. We all decide on salads instead of soups and I try the french onion soup, which was very good. It had a much more layered flavor than many other french onion soups you get in casual spots and was well seasoned with a somehow still crunchy croute and mounds of gruyare. Tom and Mike tried the soup of the day which was some type of chicken thai soup that also tasted pretty good from the small sampling I had. It is so true that you can tell a lot about a chef by their soups and this start led me to believe the rest of the meal wouldn\'t let us down. Tom and Mike had the chilean sea bass, which was a nice healthy serving of perfectly cooked sweet sea bass with a nice slaw and marinade. I had the "steak and cake" which was their filet (good quality, not prime) cooked perfectly medium rare along with large perfectly cooked asparagus, mashed potatoes (forgettable) and a good crabcake. The crabcake had almost no filler and was served with a nice mustard sauce. This crabcake is good and almost in the same league as Andora\'s or monterey bay\'s crabcake,,, almost... We finished by splitting their version of "bananas foster",,, it was very good with a flaky crust and homemade whipped cream I\'d guess. Overall this is a very good option with a warm atmosphere and good prospects in my estimation for long term success in this casual fine dining segment. Wonderful food at a fair price. Definitely has the ambiance of a fancier establishment without breaking the bank. My chicken tasted like it was fresh off a barbecue. The menu is smaller but there's a wide variety. Great wine selection as well. The staff was very friendly. Parking was a little hard to find but the neighborhood is beautiful and the walk from the car was enjoyable.

This is my go to place for a quick inexpensive breakfast / lunch. I reviewed this place when it first opened and I feel that it deserves a revised rating. This place has been upping their game. The buns are good and I always come for the milk tea. I also like how they have expanded the menu to include noodles, omelette, sandwiches, etc.\n\nNow don't expect to be taken to your seat by a waitor or anything, and when you are finished your meal, you are expected to put them away yourself. It is just a casual eatery, but it ranks high in my books as far as casual eats go. I occasionally come here when I drive back into Mississauga. \n\nIf you do come here, try the pineapple croissant bun. I liked this place. Quaint spot, has a nice Asian bakery feel to it. But it gets packed fast. Actually I took out a pineapple bun and coffee because I had no place to sit. \n\nOverall the bun was soft and buttery and the coffee was decent. \n\nWould definitely come back to try their food menu. Hoping next time I get a chair :) I read about the good reviews in yelp for this place so I went today to get 4 pieces of cakes. I guess the good reviews were only for their buns. I was very disappointed when I put my fork into my piece of cake at home. It was hard as if the cake was sitting in their fridge for 5 days. I got 4 varieties of cakes from Papa John's but all four of our cakes were hard.\n\nI used to think T&T's cakes were disgusting, but now this place took their place of the most disgusting cake in my list.\n\nI don't think I will recommend to my friends because I think it is not fresh. Doesn't matter who you are, what nationality, you will always have friendly service at PAPA JOHN'S BAKERY. LOVE the Hong Kong style milk tea, and everyone I brought here loves it as well. This is my go to spot for buns...Period.\n\nThere is no other place in Mississauga that makes buns as good.\n\nI love their pineapple bun and all the varieties of it, I find myself craving them on a regular basis. They have BBQ pork, and even custard, in a pineapple bun and they even have a special where they take a warm crispy pineapple bun and put a slab of butter in it making it so much more decadent.\n\nSeriously If you have not had a hot Papa John's pineapple bun (or any variety of them) you are missing something in life. When the are warm, the bread is so fluffy with the perfect amount of chew and sweetness, but the Pineapple topping on top becomes Deliciously crispy, and all together it is magic in your mouth. Its a baked good that is rich, moist, soft chewy, sweet, and Crispy all in one bite.\n\nEven if I have bought too many and have toast them in the oven the next day the are still amazingly delicious.\n\nTheir curry puffs are also outstanding, the pastry is definitely hand made. It is crispy, buttery and flaky, with a delicious curry meat core.\n\nAt the price of a few dollars it is a Steal.

Je vais y retourn\xc3\xa9 a 100% de certitude. J'y suis all\xc3\xa9 avec des amis un peu inquiet de manger dans un resto chinois un peu plus authentique que ce que l'on retrouve normalement dans le food court d'un centre d'achat. J'ai convaincu mes amis principalement gr\xc3\xa2ce au fait qu'on \xc3\xa9tait tous assez paum\xc3\xa9 et limit\xc3\xa9 sur le budget. Je ne connais aucun quartier autre que le quartier chinois qui nourrit aussi bien pour moins de 20$. \n\nJ'ai manger des dimsums, tr\xc3\xa8s bon! Je vais y retourn\xc3\xa9. J'aime la location, pas loin de son autre restaurant jumeaux et le service en fran\xc3\xa7ais et en anglais (que j'ai entendu au autres table) est impeccable. 4 nous avons manger pour 75$ apr\xc3\xa8s tip ! (64$ je crois avant tip et apr\xc3\xa8s taxe). \n\nJe veux essayer leur carte la prochaine fois! Et maintenant que mes amis n'ont plus la crainte apr\xc3\xa8s l'avoir essay\xc3\xa9, je suis content d'avoir trouv\xc3\xa9 une autre alternative int\xc3\xa9ressante. Last week, I spent the better part of 2 hours on a Monday looking for the perfect dinner spot in Montreal. I walked from st. Catherine, through old Montreal and then ended up in china town. Since nothing enticed my taste buds, I gave up and thought I would just "settle" for D\xc3\xa9licieux Xiang. This place was a real surprise. I got the general Tao\'s and sizzling noodle dish. The sizzling noodle was a real stand out. It was a large portion which I saved half of for lunch the next day. the noodles had a perfect texture and the vegetables mixed in were tasty. I usually would never order a vegetarian dish, but this was phenomenal. Great reheat factor and reasonably priced at $8.99. The chicken in the GT was very tender and juicy. The dishes that other patrons ordered all looked fabulous and unique as well. This was probably the best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. my only qualm is that the hot oil was not spicy at all. highly recommend this restaurant! Absolutely Great. The waiter named Long, was superb. He told me what to eat and that was exactly what I love - spicy fish soup. I was orgasmic - it's not even funny!!! The day before I watched the guy in the other there Restaurant handling over 50 customers along and everyone was happy. Thanks Long and D\xc3\xa9licieux Xian!!! Delicious indeed, and super spicy!\n\nWe\'re from Sichuan, one of the spice capitols of China, so we know spicy. That said, the spiciness at this place is something to behold. First bite into the "Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce" (), my \n"otherworldly spicy" alarm went off. Indeed, it was so spicy that we had to rinse it off with water! This is something we have never resorted to before. Having said that, we were very satisfied with our dishes. Despite the otherworldly spiciness, they were richly flavorful and obviously well prepared. We were very impressed with our vegetable dish, the eggplants with potatoes. While we didn\'t try it, we saw many customers get the meat dishes "on a hot iron plate", which indicates they have fans and should be tried.\n\nI will eat here again next time I visit Montreal. Okay so I did't eat in, and I only tried one thing, so I'll keep this review pretty short.\n\nThis place is probably pretty easy to miss, theres really just a small sign telling you where the restaurant is, but please, keep your eyes peeled because it is tasty. Restaurant was dead for some reason when I walked in, and there was a young man and lady cracking open shellfish on one of the tables. Probably not sanitary but I'll ignore it this time. The decor here is nothing fancy, but it has the typical, charming old school Chinese restaurant that overuses the colour red and features lots of dragons. \n\nIt is truly unfortunate that I can't remember what the dish is called, I think it is along the lines of chicken with chilis or Szechuan chicken. I was expecting a stir fry but it was certainly not a stir fry, it was little pieces of fried chicken, green onion, peppercorn and chunks of red chili peppers. It was deliciously salty, and flavorful... But most likely high in MSG. The green onion was also fried and it was crispy and tasty mixed in with the chicken, and I think my favorite thing about this dish was the fact that it was all white meat. Also, I asked for extra spicy and boy did I get it, I'm a complete spice addict but with these I had to stop frequently to drink. Fantastic!\n\nIt is so sad I only got to try one thing! I'll be back in Montreal soon and I'll probably have a feast here.

Love the ambiance of this place. The food and the cocktails are to die for, and they have a great beer selection. If you have a big group, I would suggest to call ahead as it can get very busy. Pros:\nAmazing ambiance. It is in the basement of Duckworth's and is very darkly lit. Perfect for a special occasion or date night. \nService is some of the best I've ever had. If you take a sip of water they refill it almost immediately. \nGreat bar list. Handcrafted cocktails galore. \nFood was great. \n\nCons:\nThe menu is a bit small and would like to see some more choices. The plates are also small. \n\nTakeaway: I would definitely go back! I would not recommend this place to kids. The dress is more business casual. \n\nWould I go back? Yes! Small plates and extensive cocktails are all very tasty. Service staff is fun and friendly. Great experience! Insane dining experience in the cellar. Craft beer, tomahawk steaks, and exceptional service from my man Darren aka D-Nice. Best place we've been in Charlotte!!! Bar tenders and our server were fantastic. The dude who seems to lead the bar (maybe more) was very impressive with his mixology skills. AND then there's the food! We loved the charbroiled oysters, the shrimp and grits, the brussel sprouts, and the bacon cheeseburger with fries!!! Good god!! For drinks, they had fantastic takes on classics and some creative newcomers. We started with Negronis.... LEGIT!!!

The restaurant is lavishly decorated with Thai culture motif. We ordered the Tom Yum soup spice level very hot and it was a kick - a**. My son even tried it and enjoyed slurping the soup and quickly reaching out for water to drink. We would definitely go back here and eat. I really like the decor, the food is excellent, friendly staff, prices about $1 more then most places but worth it! One of the best Thai food restaurants in the west valley! This is decent Thai food... I really went with the intent to get a Thai Tea. Mission Accomplished on that front. But the food is good, not the best or the worst. They do serve large portions for the price. There were only a few tables occupied when I had lunch there, and they all seemed please. We went to Sala last night/ We started with the chicken satay. Though, I didn't dislike it at all, I have to say that it didn't taste quite like any other satay I've ever had/ That is to say that it was bland, and didn't seem to have been marinated in the same blend that I am used to. I'm used to satay being kinda yellow, and this just looked like cooked chicken.\n\nOne thing I noticed about this place is that there are no salt or pepper shakers at the tables. They are available if you ask the server for it, but I don't like having to flag the server down to get salt if the dish needs it. I would rather have it there at my fingertips. Maybe it's just me.\n\nThe person I was with ordered Pad Thai, a standard Thai dish, good for an introduction to Thai cuisine. She told me that she found it to be quite spicy, which is unusual. Thai food can be very spicy, but pad Thai usually isn't at all.\n\nI ordered the red curry with beef. The spice levels here are rated with number 1 to 5 (or 6 if you want Thai spicy). I asked for it to be at a 3. I can handle spice levels being much higher, but I tend to go for middle of the road when it is my first time at a restaurant. I found the dish to be a little tame on the heat side. The 3 felt more like it was on a scale of 15 or 20 than 5 or 6, but I am honestly not the best guage for that as I do like the heat a lot.\n\nThe service, I thought, wasd very good. \n\nI may be back soon. i am very sad to see this place closed . If any one knows where the owners went that would be great . The Tom Yum was the best I have eaten in Phoenix.

I remember eating Farm Basket as a kid! Best comfort food in Vegas!! My family and I love it! +They have good brewed iced tea.\n+The Gobbler is real turkey breast.\n+Real giblet gravy.\n+Friendly service.\n\n-My turkey was overcooked & not juicy.\n-Nothing was salty enough\n-No drink refills\n\nI wanted to love the place. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think I'll be back. I like to review restaurants based mostly on their food quality. The decor isn't that important, service should be adequate, it should be clean and a have a working restroom which FB did not have. So I have to give Farm Basket 2 stars. We had chicken fingers, farm fries, regular fries, coleslaw, potato salad and fried chicken. The farm fries were the highight because how can you go wrong with gravy over fries. The rest of the food was average to below. The chicken fingers were, well I've had better frozen from the supermarket. The regular fries were crispy but greasy, time for an oil change maybe. The fried chicken was okay but nothing special. The sides were also okay but not worth the drive. A couple of pluses was the service was quick even on a busy Friday night and he staff was very friendly. Next time we want chicken fingers we'll head to our local bowling ally's snack bar. This Farm Basket has been the "once a year" treat I like to feast on at one point in the year. They salt the fries so perfectly and the chicken breast is really juicy. Man I am getting hungry just thinking of "the gobblers." This place is the awesome. I go once a week. \n\nThe first time I went I almost turned around and left just at the sight of it...it's small, it's in a bad part of town, and it looks SKETCHY. Like a ghetto barn. But my co-workers insisted that it's amazing so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. \n\nI have tried the cluck e' tos and the gobbler sandwich but my go-to meal is the kid's finger meal deal. For $6.49 you get plenty....three chicken strips, fries, hot sauce and ranch, and a lemonade. It is bad for you, it's greasy, and it's dee-licious.\n\nThey are efficient, friendly, they've never got my order wrong, and they can handle large crowds and orders. Whoever manages this place is doing a good job.

For those who think the Regency and U & Me has awesome dim sum, you are clueless to what else is out there. Urban Rice is a small little place located in the plaza just off Centre and 3rd Ave. My parents took me here because I LOVE those deep fried taro dumplings (wu-gok) and this place apparently has the BEST wu-gok in town.\n\nMy first impressions walking in: no white people. Perfect.\n\nI sat down and the menu was written in Chinese and English which was nice. We ordered a bunch of things including my favourites: shrimp dumplings, siu mai, beef rice "crepe" rolls, wu-gok, and I wanted to have some fish congee so we ordered that too. The congee was well flavoured and they we couldn\'t taste any MSG! If you go to a place like U & Me, you are sure to find MSG in almost everything. The shrimp dumplings were very hearty and flavourful. So was the siu mai. And the verdict on the wu-gok? The coating was very light, crispy and delicate. The taro portion wasn\'t too salty so you could taste some intense taro flavour. It was smooth and creamy and there was a perfectly sized portion of minced meat in the middle. Perfect. I don\'t think it could get any better than this.\n\nFor you foodies out there who love dim sum, please try this place. You won\'t find the novelty of the carts rolling around, and you won\'t find anything weird any unfamiliar. What you will get is some excellent dim sum that is not too salty, not too greasy, and you can order from the same menu as the Chinese speaking folk!\n\n28/30 Not closed. Moved.\n\nLove this place. Moved to Kensington. East side of 10th Street NW. It is beside the Roasterie and a Thai restaurant, south of the Safeway. \n\nThey make all their own dim sum dishes. Give it a try! The one in Kensington is not so good!\nWe bought a coupon from teambuy for dinner buffet for two.\nThe food was terrible. No dim sum, no ribs like it said on the website!\nJust only oily noodle stir fry, tasteless fried rice, salty deep fried chicken!!!!\nWe wouldnt eat there if we didnt already paid for it.\nWhen we were leaving My friend saw a guy who we thought he might be the owner took some spring rolls from the table that just left and put them back to the buffet!\nJust so grossssssss!!!! I didn\'t feel like paying for the high priced lunches along Stephen Avenue, so I took a stroll into Chinatown. I eventually decided to pop into Urban Rice for lunch. It has a weird entrance, you have to go inside an indoor mall to get into the restaurant. \n\nSince I was in a totally new city I decided to try something different, so I scanned the menu for something unfamiliar and my eyes settled on a whole bunch of Congees - I never heard of the dish before, so I ordered a Mixed Meat Congee for about $5 and a Shrimp Dim Sum for $3.50.\n\nThe Dim Sum were fabulous- 4 feathery light dumplings chock full of multiple whole shrimps -what a great dish.\n\nAnd as for the Congee, well it served me right to order something without knowing what it was. It was a bland bowl of soup that tasted like a "Cream of Something" hot cereal. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and learned it\'s "a type of rice porridge or gruel". Nicely said........ \n\nSomehow, the soup\'s description didn\'t quite live up to the high expectations I would have had if I knew it was basically a bowl of gruel. It must be an acquired taste, because I didn\'t care much for it. The congee came with about 4 small shrimps, a few chicken strips, and some meat strips I would swear were liver.\n\nOh well, it\'s all good, and I apologize if I offended any congee lovers (or livers) out there. I\'ll never order that again.\n\nWandering around Chinatown was a fun experience, seeing all the Chinese bakeries and herbal medicine stores. And based upon the clientele in the restaurant I chose, it was also fun eating in what seemed to be a very authentic place... \n\nBy the way, I really like Calgary a lot... Stopped in here based on the Yelp rating at 10:30am just in time for dim sum.\n\nComing from Vancouver, this is going to be an interesting comparison.\n\nAt $3.50 this isn't bad. The sizing of each dish was alright and the recommended taro dumpling was good. Just disappointed I got 3 instead of the normal 4 taro dumplings in Vancouver. Everything else is pretty much the same portions/sizing and way cheaper than in Vancouver. The haw-gow wasn't bad and the beef balls were ok too. What I really noticed about the beef balls was that it tasted like there was no MSG. Actually, it taste like they don't use much MSG, if any, at all in all their dishes because everything tasted less salty than I'm used to (with the exception of the sausage in the rice wrap-but that's a pre-bought ingredient, the restaurant doesn't make it themselves.)\n\nI was about to give this place three stars, but then I got the bill. To my surprise, FORTUNE cookies!\n\nRestaurants don't do that any more in Vancouver and I was pleasantly surprised. So for Calgary's sake, I'm giving this 4 stars.

They have live music occasionally. It's a small room so it's obviously various local acts. I happened to see a beatles cover band composed of high school students. They were pretty good actually.\n\nThe food I've seen is pretty sub par. I got a pizza once, it was thin and greasy. Hot wings were really wet if I recall correctly. Don't go here for the food.\n\nThe bar is in a separate area, thus the show I went to was an all-ages show which is nice. Even though I'm well over 21 years old, I remember when I wasn't. Its a shame to miss out on music because others are drinking. Came here tonight with a couple fiends. It was the fourth or fifth time I have been here to sing some karaoke, I love this place. My DJ Paul kicked major ass, I have been here for Redd and A.C. Too and they are always great. Bartenders are nice and quick, place needs a facelift a bit structurally but it's a real down home bar. Paul made my night, guy was really cool and helped me with everything I needed. Would recommend to anyone who likes a good hole in the wall Great place to sing Karaoke. Late knight Karaoke 7 Days a week. This is the only place I know in Henderson that does Karaoke every night. M T W starts at midnight Thurs at 8:00p Fri midnight Sat 9:00p Sun 8:00p. Can't sleep, just getting off swing shift looking for a great time, this is the place to go.\nhttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Karaoke-Sing-Karaoke-Las-Vegas-NV-Henderson-NV/106424396088819 Haven't gotten there yet, but I'm looking forward to it soon...karaoke every night, but the follow the traditional scheduling of starting at 9 pm....I'm an old alticucker (Yiddish for person) and although I can still drive in the dark, I don't want to. Food sucks! Drinks are overpriced. Staff is rude. Save your money go anywhere else. The food looks nothing like the photos that's for sure.

So I've been to the 168 in Mississauaga and it's decent infact it's pretty decent ....\nso I figured hey let's try this one here in Brampton !\nWhat a mistake I made !!!!\nI should have known when I walked in and the place looked like it was in major need of an face lift\nBut whatever look past the decor right !!!\nWell we sit down and the table is all wet , I ask the waitress for a napkin to wipe down the table and she hands me 1 small napkin real classy !!\nAnyways the food is mediocre at best ! The quality is not great the service is pretty terrible aswell .\nSo my suggestion is go elsewhere ! i would not come back! \ni love sushi, my sister in law took me in once. it was ok, food came fast and taste fine. but the second time i went , sushi was not really that good. deep fried roll is cold or just room temp, that tasted horrible!\nsashimi was ok, rolls not impressive. i would not recommend ! I went here for my birthday dinner for my wife.\nI thought the food was rather good.\n\nWe made the mistake of eating way to many spicy tuna rolls before hitting up the Sashimi (Which was also Very good) $20 all you can eat for dinner (pop included) is pretty good. This place did what many others over the years failed to do at the same location - have a successful sushi restaurant. And they did SO well, they triggered a run of new sushi restaurants all across Brampton while at the same time expanding their business to multiple locations (making their name a little odd since the name 168 was based originally on their address on Kennedy Rd. in Brampton).\n\nThe sushi is fresh and delicious. The sashimi is presented in good-sized chunks, and there's a broad selection of sushi rolls to choose from. The hot foods are rich in flavor and served in relatively small portions, but since it's AYCE you just order more.\n\nRecommended items include the baby mushroom beef rolls, beef in black bean sauce, salmon belly, miso soup, and seaweed salad. For desert, the milk pudding is creamy good but might on occasion be undercooked leaving the center cool rather than warm.\n\nThis is our go-to sushi place! The service is pretty bad even for a sushi place (they're generally all pretty bad). I've been here many times and so many things we ordered simply never showed up. Also not the type of place where anyone will ever check to see how things are ever.\n\nThe sushi is alright. Meh. This place isn't exactly inexpensive and the food is mediocre, the service is below average, and the decor/atmosphere is pretty ugly even after renovations. \n\nI wouldn't specifically avoid it for any reason but there are much better options.

After taking a friend to the airport before sunrise, I needed someone to have breakfast before work. Unfortunately not many places are open at 5:30am. Disgruntally I decided to go to Denny's. That being said I was pleasantly surprised. \n\nDenny's is what it is, and you always know what you are getting. But my classic Benny was really good. Eggs were cooked perfectly, hollaindase was just right. The kitchen had even fried up the hame so it was warm and crispy - not what I was expecting. Potatoes were freshly cooked and just the right crispy. \n\nService was prompt and friendly. I was reading my book too, so when I was done, after about 15 minutes the waiteress came by and put my bill down letting me know I was welcome to stay as long as I liked and no need to rush. Something small, but a really nice gesture. Had asked for a refill on the hot water for my tea which came promptly too.\n\nMaybe it is just because I walked in with lower expectations, but I was really impressed. So impressed that I will absolutely stop in at this Denny's again for breakfast.\n\nThanks to the great staff and cooks for making a ridiculously early start to my day so much better. I go to Denny's sometimes after a night out with friends. Yvonne is the best server! She's super nice and friendly! It's so busy at 2-3am during the weekends but the service is still pretty fast. She is really on top of her game! There is really no justification for coming to eat at Denny\'s, other than being open 24 hours. Come late enough and you can put up with obnoxiously drunk boors shouting at each other; early enough and you can put up with screaming fat children running amok; rest of the time you can put up with creepers at the "bar" sipping on coffee and giving you the shifty eye; and through all that, you can get a combination of the bad and the worse, all for wildly inflated prices with mediocre service, and a case of the runs to boot.\n\nI have learned from Angelo\'s experience - when they serve you a raw chicken burger, and they recompense you with a free sundae, you are at the lowest of the low. AVOID. I wish I could give this place 0 stars. Denny\'s isn\'t exactly the greatest place to eat in general- but sometimes it\'s just convenient! We made the mistake of popping by here a few months ago for some breakfast. The service was terrible, they got the order wrong and they were plain rude. We were seated at the back of the restaurant by a door and it was freezing cold so we asked to be moved to a different table (it was not even busy) and they said no at first and finally when they agreed they basically threw our menus on the table and walked away abruptly. It took forever to get our food and it was cold by the time we did. \n\nWhen we went up to the till to pay the girl was SO unbelievably rude. She mumbled how we would like to pay and I didn\'t hear her so when I said "pardon me?" she responds with "I SAID...." in a rude tone. Then she proceeded to roll her eyes at us about 12 times. \n\nWe almost never go to Denny\'s and we still had their rewards card so we asked what we can do with it and if there is any way to claim our points since they no longer use the card. She responds with "throw that out". I once again asked, "is there any way I can claim the points that I have?" she once again responds saying "I SAID throw that out" with such attitude. At that point I got annoyed and asked to speak with the manager to which her response was "k then". Are you serious? It gets better....when the manager came she says "that girl wants to meet with you who knows why". WHAT. Instead of explaining things to me the manager rudely tells me that instead of wasting their time I should check my email for instructions. Wasting your time? Gotcha. \n\nSeriously- this place is ridiculous. The food is terrible, the service is terrible and the management is TERRIBLE. Do yourself a favour and don\'t go here ever. When\'s the last time you took a late night Denny\'s trip sober? Never?! I\'m not surprised. Nobody does that; nobody except this guy! Why on earth would I succumb to this? Well for starters, if you\'re looking for a spot to hang out in the area after 2am, this is it. Secondly, with Denny\'s at 2am you get both dinner AND a show! A very colourful, very very drunk show as put on by the other patrons. If you\'re in need of either of these 2 things, you fine. If not, you\'ll probably have better luck going anywhere else.\n\n We were straight up with out server that we were here to watch the drunk people; he showed us to our booth and said "I think you will enjoy your view from here and as you can see this booth comes equipped with a safety glass railing to keep you at a close distance while still keeping you safe. Now, if you look to your left that\'s the table you want to keep you eye on. Please remember to keep your hands inside the booth at all times and to not feed the animals. Leave that to us - we\'re trained professionals." He was so attentive and so funny the whole night I can honestly overlook how terrible my stomach felt the next morning for attempting to eat Denny\'s food without any alcohol in my system to soak it up. What was I thinking?\n\nAlso, the Mozza sticks give me an immediate nostalgia flashback to when Denny\'s was my high school hang out. \n\n2-stars for food and 4-stars for semi-disgruntled yet hilarious Denny\'s servers. Can\'t wait to come back another night after several rounds of tequila and get emotional over the crane game.

My sister and I both tried the House Ramen today. It was horribly bland. The meat had the taste of a completely blanched slab of cardboard. The noodles had the consistency of rubber. The broth was, by all accounts, water. We tried to remedy the issue with some sriracha sauce, but to no avail. I was extremely disappointed, because I remember having some acceptable sushi from them in the past. For $10.99, we received a helping of water with some textures on the side. Very reliable food court Sushi! I always come here for dinner.\n\nThe prices are a little high but the quality is always reliable, and the food is pretty good.\n\nThere's not much selection to the menu, so it makes it easier for the cooks. All the dishes tastes fresh and come within minutes of being ordered. \n\nThe staff are nice, even when the orders are packed. \n\nOverall great experiences with Su&Shi ! I was at Square One craving Poke Bowl. \nI noticed Su&Shi at Food Court and didn\'t expect much as it\'s "food court food". \nI was wrong. \nI got Salmon Love Poke Bowl. \nTheir portion was huge, the all ingredients were super fresh, friendly staff and didn\'t even charge me for extra topping of avocado. \nMy fiance who\'s a fan of fried food even said he would get it next time :)\nWhat a pleasant surprise. I would definitely be back here. I've been wanting to try sushi burrito's for a long time now, but haven't been able to since I don't actually eat REAL sushi. I enjoy sweet potato rolls, cucumber rolls, and any type of meat roll, but a lot of the sushi burrito places I have seen only offer legit sushi burritos. While hitting up the Square One food court on Sunday I walked passed Su&Shi and immediately knew I needed to give the curry katsu chicken burrito a try because it looked and sounded like heaven. The line here was pretty short and the food only took about 5 minutes to come out but watching them make it in front of me only made me hungrier cause it looked OH SO good. The burrito itself is served in this cool little box that fold in half so you can protect both sides of the burrito desperately. Upon opening the box it was pretty cool to see so much chicken and rice and veggies packed into the tight little wrap...and the taste? Love at first bite. This thing was absolutely delicious and I was hardly able to enjoy it because I devoured it so fast. This place gave me a fantastic meal and a cool experience. I highly recommend trying this place out if you are trying to grab a quick bite at the Square One mall. I get fast foods and I get where you have to cutback on some things. But at $12.99 for my bento this was terrible even by food court standards. \n\nOn the menu it says option of rice or "organic" greens. Greens pictured looked like beautiful leafy genuine organics. What I got? Ice berg blobs. Pls see pic. \n\nTruly disappointed as I sit here shoveling this down my throat. Sushi in my salmon bento were tiny tiny. \n\nThe salmon was quite good which was the only reason I gave this place 3 stars. \n\nWas planning on grabbing a few sushi rolls to go but glad I ate in first. Won\'t be coming back.

Drove past after a medical procedure. Did not know this place existed. Now I do. And I'll be a regular. Place was packed! It took a while to get my food, probably because they make everything fresh. Tortillas are made to order. Pressed before your eyes. I cannot wait to try everything on the menu. I had a Carne Asada torta, chicken flauntas, and a cheese. papusa....all fantastic. generous portions too...very authentic. my hubs and I are from cali....did I mention how happy I am!! special weekend menu too! carnitas by the pound and special soups. The food here is wonderful! It is a Mexican restaurant next to a gas station, the food is wonderful and authentic. The staff is friendly. Always a great experience l! This place is awesome, its a tiny place by a gas station but they have great sandwichs, tacos, sopas and pupusas. My mission is to try everything on their menu. Ordered, Las Chidas Pastor Con Queso sandwich with fries, 2 tacos-one barbacoa, one lingua and an order of gorditas-barbacoa, Al Pastor and Carnitas. Got it to go. \nSmall place with loud Latin music playing through a not so great sound system. 4 small indoor tables, and a few on the outside. The floor could have been a little bit cleaner, but it is a rainy day. 94.5 rating. Very friendly guy at the counter with a nice smile. \nThe taco was very good, the barnacoa anyway. Didn't have the lingua, don't know if he heard us order it, or it just didn't make it in our bag. Nevertheless, the one we did get was delicious. The sandwich...OMG! It was a masterpiece. Stuffed with pork, onions, avocado, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato and mayo. I split it with my hubby, not sure you could eat a whole one! The fries came fresh out of the fryer and were crispy and great. Don't typically have fries with a torta, but didn't want the other choice of plantains. \nWe split one gordita, saving the other two. Homemade gorditas, with a nice portion of pork and Mexi cheese. Absolutely scrumptious. I expect the other 2 to be just as tasty.\nI would eat here once a week if it was near me.\nYou must try this place for some not so pedestrian and truly authentic Mexican fare. I will definitely be back! Extremely good, very fairly priced and quick service. I had the burrito which was amazing! You can call ahead and place orders to go. Lunch time does get busy, but they will get you in and out quick. Small seating area if you want to eat there. It is part of the gas station

So, I decided to take a stroll over to Boulder City today instead of dining in Hendertucky. Milos had decent reviews so my girlfriend and I decided to check it out. When we arrived, we were impressed by the atmosphere and the patio seating. Once we were served, my optimism changed. The waitress grabbed me a beer that I did not order which is a tiny mistake. When I asked about the Beaujolais platter, she corrected me in an impolite manner and she still was saying it wrong. She said it came with bread and it didn't... And finally, she didn't even put my sandwich order in because she probably was all excited to show me the incorrect pronunciation for the Beaujolais. Food and wine were decent but a tad overpriced. We can definitely check Milo's off the places to never return to. At least the motorbike ride was refreshing! I love this place. I have been a fan for years. There is nothing more relaxing than to spend a lazy summer night, on their patio, noshing on cheese and fruit and sipping a chilled beverage. The fare is not very hearty, but in the summer heat, you really do not feel like a heavy meal.\nThere are over 50 wines and beers available for you to enjoy with your meal or you can take home a gem from their wine inventory. \nYou do get spill over from Tony's Pizza, next door, but everyone seems to get along well...but it can get loud, so the cool, relaxed factor for visiting friends can get a little hard. \nIt was not that many years ago, when the old town was falling into a boring collection of trash (antique) shops, which really is ironic in a town that wants to portray itself as an art community. Now with the City getting behind the movement with different sculptures and with new, interesting shop owners buying in on the movement, visiting Milo's is a nice change of pace from Las Vegas This place continues to deliver amazing food and drink. They have a great selection of wines, and the menu has a decent selection of salads, cheese platters, sandwiches and wraps as well as some deserts.\n\nOur server was Amy and she was one of the BEST servers I have ever had. She had several tables she was taking care of yet she was able to make us feel like we were the only table there which she seemed to do with every table. She takes the time to talk to you, she makes you feel welcome and creates an environment you can relax and enjoy yourself in.\n\nOverall, I have never had anything on the menu that I did not like or had an issue with. They take pride in creating healthy tasting dishes that are freshly made.\n\nI highly recommend this place, it is worth whatever drive you have to make to get here. Lucky for me it's not that far and we LOVE this place. What an amazing little restaurant! Nestled right in the downtown Boulder City area, it's a perfect place to grab dinner. The outdoor patio was really nice, mini lights and misters provided a relaxing and cool place to have a romantic dinner.\n\nThe cheese plate was HUGE and delicious. The turkey and brie sandwich was also good, very fresh and filling. The quality of the food here is good and prices were good too. Service was prompt and the staff were all very nice. We finally started going to Milo's Cellar this year after walking by many times, looking in the windows and seeing people sitting outside enjoying a glass of wine. What a great atmosphere! Last night, we discovered even more of this place and I think I want to make it a weekend hangout! \n\nThere were six of us who met at Milo's Cellar to do some wine tasting with their Flight of Wines. This is great because you can try three of their wines for $15. You choose from their menu, but there's enough of a selection where we each got something different and ended up sipping each others...hum, we all must be really good friends! \n\nThe service is wonderful. It's basically a seat yourself place, so upon arriving, we were greeted by our server and we told him that we had six people. There weren't any tables available outside, so he told us we could slide tables over however we wanted inside to accommodate our group. He immediately started setting us up with glasses, menus, etc., and as the rest of the group arrived, he was answering questions about the different wines, giving us samples of some and making recommendations. \n\nIn the middle of our wine evening, we decided to order a cheese platter. It was a wonderful assortment of quality cheeses and also had olives, some incredible crackers and red grapes. Though the platter looks small coming out, it was the perfect amount for six people to share. Suddenly, our server appeared with another dish. He brought us complimentary smoked mozzarella caprese....oh, this was wonderful. Now that is good service. \n\nFor the atmosphere...we asked if they could accommodate a larger group, like for our wine club...absolutely! Not only is the outside of Milo's great to sit and enjoy a glass of wine (and people watch), just inside is gorgeous and looks like a wine cellar. Our server gave us a tour of the rest of Milo's. There is an area that accommodates larger groups with tables for more of a restaurant feel, but as you walk down to it, you feel like you are entering another wine cellar. It made me feel like I was on vacation in Italy. To top it off, he took us to show us Milo's Inn. You go up some narrow stairs, then suddenly enter the courtyard and are transformed into another world. I want to make reservations for a weekend getaway! \n\nMilo's has a lot to offer. What a great hidden treasure for those of us who want to escape Vegas for a moment!

Stumbled upon this after an appointment. Has been open for just a year, and I'm sorry I didn't find it sooner. I had the mix plate of carne asada, carnitas with sides of cilantro lime rice, beans and corn tortillas for around $10! Excited to go back again for Taco Tuesday's! 3 for $6 or 5 for $10 I pass Cocina Latina on my way to work and decided to check it out today for lunch. The staff was very friendly. I placed my order, gathered my sauces from the salsa bar, and was on my way in less than 5 minutes.\nThe tacos were $3 each, and worth every penny. I was very pleased and will definitely be recommending them to my coworkers. I'll definitely be back!! I have eaten here a dozen time and food is generally good, but their hours ar absurd, and delivery is a joke. Phone is NEVER ANSWERED regardless of when you try to call...I have given up on them. The food is good but a bit skimpy on the meats. Also, they need to add ground meat to their protein lineup. \nA suggestion to the proprietor: your outside sign is faded and no one looking at the sign would know that you're a Mexican food place. You could double your business with a sign that people would know that you are a Mexican food place. There's a lot of traffic on Clever Road and you're missing a lot of potential customers. A new sign would pay for itself with increased sales! One of my favorite new places for Mexican. Love the new menu with burritos. Everything tastes very fresh and made to order exactly how you want it

Decent pub in my hotel. Not sure how busy this place gets but it was pretty empty on a Monday night. Food and service were both great. Bar keep did a great job taking care of everyone. If I could give zero stars, I would. Hard to mess up bar food, but they succeed. I wanted extra salsa with quesadilla and they wanted an extra buck. Wrong. Goodbye forever. Met up with a friend who was flying out the next day. We met here as her hotel was attached to the pub. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Being so close to the airport I was expecting much higher prices but the prices were really reasonable. Grabbed a burger and a drink while we chatted and caught up. The staff were friendly and it had a great pub feel to it. I would recommend and return. Decent pub in the Comfort Inn near the Toronto Airport. They have a number of beer on tap including Guinness and cider. Once you walk in it has a pub feel with cherry wood. They have a pool table and fooz ball table. A couple of TV screens. Food is very reasonably priced and not bad. American meals. They have entrees with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. From $8 to 18 dollars. A lot of locals come here in the evening. All in all better than expected for a budget hotel. I stayed up the road at the Sheraton for two weeks and with few options in the area, I frequented this pub for at least 6 visits to watch the Jays. The service was excellent from Denny, the girls and owner Alex. The atmosphere was great, prices are very reasonable and the food was good too. They really make you feel welcome and go out of their way to get to know their customers. If you are in the area drop in, you won't be disappointed. Cheers Alex! Thanks for the hospitality.

I've been here a couple of times. The waiters service our food really slow every time I go there. The food taste great though... BEWARE of the washroom, the entire washroom floor is really greasy and slippery!!! My mom took me here with much excitement has this has been her recent frequented restaurants among her friends and herself. She says the steamed rice with pork neck is the most excellent, but by the time we got there at 10pm, we were told it was not going to be served given that they close at 11pm. We instead opted for the pork neck stir-fried with xo sauce, stir-fried peapod leaves with garlic, and a seafood congee with melon. The pork neck was great but most of the dishes were filled with filler veggies, perhaps expected since the meat is quite expensive. My mom said the pork neck rice is better. The peapod leaves was cooked really well, with high heat but the garlic not burnt. The congee was good.\n\nThe bill was, however, a bit too expensive. The three dishes ended up being $45 after tax and tips. The veggie alone was $15 and both the other dish was over $10 each. Even the free mango sago dessert at the end didn't justify the price. All in all though, I would want to come back and try a couple of other things, including their various noodles. I really like the ambiance and cuisine.\n\nCash and debit only\nentrance at back of restaurant 2.5 stars. Congee is OK but the tomato sauce baked pork chop rice isn't. \n\nFish filet & beef Congee \n- fresh fish but dry\n- beef is fine \n\nBaked pork chop rice, tomato sauce \n- dislike the texture and flavor of the sauce. Different from hk style, it is sour,sticky rue, not really a sauce \n- pork is hard, dry, tough\n\nEgg and beef fried rice noodle \n- beef and egg sauce served separate from the noodles \n- beef is fine , noodles a bit oily \n\nOverall just came here cause I was in the area. Stick with Congee and maybe noodles. Location:\nThis place is within walking distance to my house, so there is zero parking anxiety. \xc2\xa0I do know there is a lot of parking. \xc2\xa0Behind you cn find a wee parking garage and you can park in the lot next door and take a (not so) secret staircase to get to here.\n\nThe building in on highway 7, you can tell newbies (I did it too so I'm not judging) because they come around to the highway 7 side and try to get in. \xc2\xa0There's no door there, it's around back. \xc2\xa0\n\nDecor:\nThe place is bright and modern. as you are ushered into the main dining room you pass by booths that are always filled with people, tables loaded with delicious looking and amazing smelling dishes. \xc2\xa0I found my self wondering what wonderful things these people were eating. \xc2\xa0in the main dining room you have the option of round tables, booths, or the booth/table hybrids.\n\nMenus are in english and cantonese.. The decor is nice. \xc2\xa0They have a neat wall that's covered in cutting boards. The tables are close together but not jammed in like you find at some other restaurants. \xc2\xa0This is a nicer place, someplace you bring people you like.\n\nFood:\nThe food is great. \xc2\xa0There was a special on a chicken in wine soup. \xc2\xa0I was just recovering from a cold so we got it. \xc2\xa0Kinda neat. They brought out a hot plate, the kind with a fire,\xc2\xa0and then put a covered pot with a clear liquid and some twigs and berries in it. \xc2\xa0Had it boil up for a while. Then the guy tell my friend to watch out. Bam!!! GIANT FIRE BALL!! \xc2\xa0He set the liquid on fire. \xc2\xa0It was pretty awesome. \xc2\xa0\n\nDinner AND a show! \xc2\xa0\n\nTalk about a show, they brought out black chicken, \xc2\xa0Never had that before. Raw it looked a bit like eggplant while cooked it looked a little bit like the creature from alien.\xc2\xa0\n\nI seriously love the restaurants in my neighbourhood.\xc2\xa0\n\nWe also had sweet and sour pork. Served in a PINEAPPLE. \xc2\xa0Nice. \xc2\xa0Also had a vegetable dish with some beige sauce and pumpkin or some other squash. \xc2\xa0It was delicious. Would have never ordered it on my own. Yum.\n\nMy favourite was the salty spicy tofu. Will be ordering that every time I go. \xc2\xa0Finally we also got a hotpot rice, with chicken. \xc2\xa0It came last when we were almost done.\nI have to say every thing was delicious. \n\nStaff:\nThe staff were great. \xc2\xa0\xc2\xa0They wear neon name tags. Lighted up. Lots of staff. \n\nVerdict:\nI give this place two thumbs up. :) Ok, so we didn't end up having a meal here because the menu changed. We specifically went for the brick toast bowl of food which they no longer do (see Yelp pictures for reference). However the decor and the wait staff were amazingly polite and nice. \nThis is the type of restaurant you'd go with a family of 8 and order a bunch of dishes to share communal style. They also have that format in preset course dinners (Chinese banquet style). I guess I'll be returning with my family to check this one out but A++ for the service of the wait staff.

We need this in Utah! The toast is just s nice touch. It's always warm food. I needed just one more sauce packet; 2 isn't enough. Gives chic filet a good run for its money, the chicken is cooked fresh and served nice & hot, it just needs to add Ranch and bar b cue sauces for dipping So I have been coming to this location since it opened and it is usually really good. The last time I went through the DT though, I got chicken that wasn't so hot and fresh. But I called and they said they would replace it on my next visit with my reciept. I went today and got the replacement food and it was remade hot and fresh. The manager was very nice and apologized and ensured it wouldn't happen again. I will keep coming to this location and the staff are really nice. :) Raising canes. A little over hyped. It's pretty basic.\n\nOrdered the 3 finger combo with a sweet tea.\nIt's pretty good, but the cane sauce is where it's at! The sauce itself is pretty magical, that with the Texas toast is perfect for those late night munchies.\n\nIt's pretty convenient that it's late night, and they have have a drive thru!\n\n\nThe sweet tea is good, but like 90% of it is ice so I would probably opt out of getting a drink.\n\nI wouldn't be opposed if someone wanted to get it but I wouldn't particularly go out of my way for it. One of the better fast food fried chicken places we had tried. My bf really liked this place. We needed some food on the drive back home to California and decided to stop by here. We got the 4 piece chicken which came with their special cane sauce, fries, Cole slaw and also a bread toast. The toast was really light and fluffy. It was good. My bf really loved the Cole slaw as well and the chicken so super soft and tender! The cane sauce went well with it and they also have ketchup as well. Service was super quick. Wish they had this in NorCal!

I was recently at PT's off of Durango, which is two minutes away from my house and is my go to spot. I have came to this location for a couple years now and I usually have a good experience. Today, my bartender was Jen and I must say, you'd think if you were in the customer service industry, you'd actually provide good customer service. She did not provide anything but a horrible attitude. First of all, when I came in, my friend and I could barely sit down before she demanded my ID. After she spent a minute or so looking over it, she got my drink and slammed it on the bar. She didn't provide me with a beverage napkin or anything of sorts. It took me ten minutes to ask her for a water because I'm going to assume I'm a female and I'm not gambling. I watched her talk to every GUY at the bar and ignored me. I have been a cocktail waitress and a bartender for over 7 years and I know there is someone who would love to have her job. She needs to be re-trained to accommodate her customers. I'm sick and tired of seeing Waitresses/Bartenders be a complete asshole for no reason. You have one job. Do it right or find another one. I will not be coming back here when Jen is working ever again. This is the place if you are in The Lakes! Great servers happy hour 5-7 daily! the Big O Burger! I came here help fellow yelper and roommate Roy celebrate his birthday party with his coworkers, hockey family and more hockey family. Unfortunately of all days too pick he choose bite of las vegas going on across the street. It throws this review into loop of sorts. Talk about business being prepared the whole mini shopping mall with mostly restaurants had tow trucks on speed dial if your not going into any one of the establishments. NO JOKE. If they see you walking across the street they might give you warning but more then not going too get towed. I seen at hanging out the bar for hours one lady complaining. Like putting players card in machine justify that your playing or even at the bar. So if anything that stands out rather then just like most other PTs have been too around town. On bite of las vegas this is one place that takes their customers seriously. I admit enjoyed seeing business take care of its customers. \n\nThe bar like mention its like most others PTs nothing much special although it was my first time at this particular location. I like the fact that they had two separate areas on one side with divider of sorts plants that had three pool tables and then other side lounge type set up with three wide scree televisions all with sports on. The bar is decent size (big rectangle) with lots of machines too play, and television all up at the bar area. We had great service. It wound up being small crowd but notice everyone was getting their drinks and birthday shots ordered got were all tasty. \n\nI like the way bar set up if get group of friends together for drinks. It has almost three separate area that can mingle with friends. The prices are always reasonable at any PTs especially comes too HH. The player card is nice that your get credit for your food orders too and universal card can use at any PTs. I feel like Seth Y. needs to learn how to Yelp because he's AWFUL. It's like reading a review written by a drunk hobo. Based on last nights events that isn't too far off. PT's is obviously a local bar that has lots of tasty libations and typical pub food. A huge bar and pool tables makes any drunken night more memorable. Now go drink! Me and my wife use to come here but a couple of the bartenders were not great, we decided to come back here tonight, Alex was our bartender, you can't miss his big beard, he was fantastic l, very attentive warm and welcoming

Had lunch here. Great location. And good customer service. John was very nice. We tried the lunch options and food was great. Amazing food and excellent service! Jordan is amazing and did a phenomenal job! Definitely stop by if you're in the area! This is a sign you never want to see... so, about two weeks ago, I see Jeffrey Osborne and Peabo Bryson will be in concert on September 22nd, in Cleavland, OH!! I text my girls; Mikki, Robbie and T-Swizzle, asking if they wanted to road trip for the concert. Mikk and Robb would be returning from Costa Rica midnight on that Friday..but both were ready to go, provided they were not expected to drive...we were all ready and excited about going...Bought the tickets, booked the hotel and it's a go!\n\nWell, yesterday started out great...we left Maryland around 9:30am, stopped for breakfast for an hour or so ,and then proceeded to listen to my WIDE variety of kiss, miss or diss music! We arrived at our hotel (WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL) at 5:30pm; just enough time to prepare and change for our 7:00 pm show! Around 6:45pm, we call our Uber, had a little photo shoot in the lobby (with a very disgruntled onlooker...ha ha ha ha ha) popped a bottle of Mo\xc3\xabt and out the door we flew!! As we pulled up to the the venue, it was eerily deserted....especially if there is to be a concert there.. I mean I know my folk are historically known for being late...but not like this! Of course, I check our Groupon ticket and it now says, December 8th!! HOLD UP MISSY!! How did you do this?? Ha ha ha ha I go to the box office and I'm informed that earlier that day, the venue was informed that the show was postponed!! Smh! Sure, we could have become angry, bitter, complaining super fans...but my crew just not set up that way---We ended up at the #HouseOfBluesCleveland, who gave us the VIP treatment--After I ran my mouth about our road trip!! Ha ha ha ha ha EVERYONE in the restaurant knew about the girls from DC!! They were the best!! Complimentary appetizer, discounts on gift shop items..and an exclusive tour of their upstairs night club!! I say alllllllllll that (and if you're still reading, I'm impressed! Ha ha ha ) to say...No need to walk around like we sucked the lemons that were thrown our way.....last night was a lemonade night, with a shot of Mo\xc3\xabt and Rose'!! SHOUT OUT TO THE PEOPLE OF CLEVELAND (and Cape Cod...ha ha ha ha you have to watch my first live video)!! Not only did you win your first football game in 2 years, you won the hearts of 4 ladies from DC.... always a fun time with Michelle D Thomas, Robin M Driver and Tira Swinton!! My boyfriend and I were in town for the Cavs game Saturday night and unfortunately we forgot to make a reservation at a restaurant so we ended up wandering around the area trying to find food. We walked into House of Blues and immediately snagged two bar seats right away. Both bartenders were extremely professional, efficient and welcoming. We got drinks and food efficiently and all of it was excellent. The sweet potato fries, BBQ burger, and pulled pork sandwich were exactly what we needed before going to the game. It was great food and a great atmosphere! The Foundation Room at the House of Blues is always polite bartenders Ian and Julie are superstars and Julius the VIP host is always Cooperative polite and outstanding I highly recommend this place.

When you drive up to the restaurant you Kinda raise one eyebrow and wonder if it really is a good restaurant since the entrance is small. But then when you walk in you can see that it's much more spacious inside and very clean. It's a hole in the wall which is the kinda restaurants I like because it's run by people in the community and not a corporation. I love that. People who want to share their ethnic food with everyone always beats chain restaurants. One thing that I noticed was that the menu was very easy to read. The food was very delicious and had the right amount of spice and authenticity to it. The people in the restaurant were very friendly and it was a great lunch break for me between running errands. \n\nSo I say ditch your routine or comfort restaurants and take a chance to taste some Turkish food. It will help you explore and become one step closer to being Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. I just tried the falafel sandwich at TURKdISH and it's DELICIOUS! Quaint atmosphere, great management, would definitely recommend to friends! I would have taken a picture of the falafel, but it tasted too good and I ate it :) First time to eat here and I was very impressed. The service was excellent, the hummus and babaganush was fabulous! I had the falafel plate and found my falafel were overly cooked... The pita was fresh and warm!!! We ended with a Turkish tea and baklava, so fabulous. \nOverall a wonderful experience! This is definitely a sole proprietorship, home grow, family run business. Love that. The mom and pop that run it clearly have a passion for their business. We were one of two tables when we came in, one more couple came in while we were there. Here\'s my ratings:\n\nAtmosphere: it\'s a pretty generic little strip mall place. I like that you can see into the kitchen. It\'s clean, spacious and basic. It\'s one of those places where you know the owners care more about the food than the decorating, not a bad thing.\n\nFood: the food is good. I got a dish I normally wouldn\'t, small ground chicken patties with spices, rice and salad. The chicken was good, moist, tasty. Wouldn\'t be my first choice again, but that\'s on me, not them. The rice was probably the best I\'ve ever had, seriously, rice! Weird right? Don\'t know if it was special Turkish rice, but it looked like white rice. It was delicious. The falafel was outstanding! It was in my top 3 falafel I\'ve ever had. When we checked-in, we got a free Turkish tea. She gave us 2, very sweet. It was very good.\n\nService: the mom and pop were very genuine and attentive. The mom was very sweet. The pop was quiet and was not "Mr. Happy and Social", maybe due to a language barrier or something, but he was attentive and took good care of us. Clear they care about quality of food and service. For me, this is key.\n\nQuality and Value: very clear the quality is high. The taste was authentic, clean, flavorful and obviously made with care, old school recipes and high quality ingredients. We ate 2 meals for about $20 and were both full and satisfied when we left. Quality and value are both very good.\n\nOverall I\'d definitely recommend stopping in if you\'re in the neighborhood or even making a reasonable special trip to try it. Service, taste, quality and value are really good. I\'m not often interested in atmosphere and decorating, I\'m into great food, supporting sole proprietorships, off the beaten path, worthy places and this is one. You won\'t go wrong giving them a shot. I love this place. I am somewhat new to Mediterranean and Turkish food but this place is truly phenomenal and very reasonably priced I've been there twice and have not been let down and plan on going again and bringing friends. The staff is very friendly and very helpful with those of us that don't know a lot about the cuisine and the hot Turkish tea that comes after the meal is a great way to end the experience.

With so many average Thai joints around Tempe, I had become used to the status quo pad \nThai experience and began to acquiesce to the reality that my cravings for coconut curries and stir fried noodle dishes could be accomodated - but never properly sated. Then this amazing little restaurant opens up less than half a mile from my home. If you haven't tried the Pad Woon Sen yet, I can't recommend it strongly enough: fresh, crisp, perfectly cooked broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts, and green onion stir-fried with egg and glass noodles in savory Thai spices and just the right amount of oil. The dish is somehow both filling and light at the same time. Adding a spoon or two of the homemade chili oil from the little tableside spice rack turns an already flavorful affair up to levels that obliterate all previously known taste standards of good Thai. The portion is huge and could easily feed 2 adults. I usually take half of it home and enjoy a reprise for lunch the following day. I'm beyond addicted and now require an infusion of this miracle dish at least once per week. Since I started coming here a few months back, I've gotten acquainted with the owner, Anne, who is Laotian and adds her own unique twist to common Thai staples. She has been cooking Lao/Thai food her entire life and her passion is undeniable. Smile Lao Thai is most definitely the deep end of the Thai restaurant pool here in Tempe. This place is great. The dumplings are wonderful and everything is freshly prepared. It can be spicy so use caution. My new favorite Thai restaurant. Amazing chef at this place!! She can really show you authentic Thai food! Excellent service from Johnny and lovely people. I give this place a 4 because the food is delicious. I've had their pho, pad Thai, and pad woon sen. I haven't had thai food this good in so long and I've tried so many around the valley. BUT they lose a star because I was completely disappointed by their customer service. I waited 50 min for my fresh roll appetizer! I almost left and would have if it wasn't for Isaac, the server that wasn't even my server but continually checked on my mom and I as he took care of all his tables. I was willing to deal with the horrible wait because of his charisma, his humor, and his overall exceptional customer service. The reason I returned was for the food and customer service I received my first time there with Isaac. I was disappointed that he wasn't my server this time but I truly valued his care for us even though we weren't his responsibility. I hope the manager takes notice at how wonderful and valuable Isaac is to their establishment. I came here for lunch and ordered the pepper steak on their lunch menu. The meal came with sour and spicy soup and rice on the side. It was delicious! \n\nThe interior, including the bathroom, was nice and clean. The staff was wonderful. My server Nate was very polite and friendly! He was so kind to give me a free iced tea, because my order got mixed up and took longer than expected. \n\nOverall, I would definitely come back and bring my friends for their food and customer service.

This is the second time I've ordered from them. No issues whatsoever. The pizza was a little cool by the time it got to my house but that may have been my husband not driving fast enough The cheesy bread is my favorite! This location is really fast! The manager is very kind and made sure to show us each and every pizza before we left the store. The soda carrier broke and spilled my 20oz's all over. The Pizza box had grease coming out the side and ruined a pair of pants and the pizza was not cut through and had to get knife and re cut it. Had to put brownie in toaster oven to finish heating it up. I can order online or pickup with the time i requested. On point Always & can't Beat the Dinner Box. Not good overall. I got the "get as many toppings as you want" for a flat price (as stated on the mobile app) thinking at least a moderate amount of toppings would be used. Price was good considering what I got on the pizza, however when I saw it, I was surprised at so few toppings! I got chicken, bacon, spinach, and mushrooms on it, but we could barely enjoy the toppings as we all dug in (because there were so few!) Im not being picky, this thing had very little on it! Plus, the spinach was sprinkled raw over the top of the pizza. Strange. Almost as if someone forgot it was supposed to have spinach and just threw it on after it went through the oven instead of making another. Maybe that\'s just how they put spinach on their pizza, but that\'s the first time I\'ve ever seen that. Two stars because the pizza did taste okay, but was barely warm. Considering this is only a carry out/delivery venue, I expected more. I\'ll stick with the other pizza options in Waxhaw. (There\'s plenty!)

Great little spot out in middle of nowhere. Give it a shot. Simple food. Simply prepared. Clean and friendly. Best burgers in town!! In fact, everything on the menu is great! Chicken & trout plates are not to be missed. I could eat here everyday! Visiting friends in NC and we stopped here for breakfast. At first our order was take out but then we decided to eat in. They got out order wrong but was friendly in fixing the error. The food was okay for the items that we got. I love this place. I used to go here a couple mornings a week for their breakfast special. It's a couple eggs, about 4 strips of bacon, an awesome biscuit, and a ton of breakfast potatoes, all for about $4. The people are always friendly and service is pretty quick. \n\nI used to go to lunch their occasionally and get the BBC plate. It was really good too. \n\nIn general, the food is good, the prices are great, and people are friendly. I couldn't really ask for much more. Food is fair and prices are very reasonable for such a huge platter. I would rather order a cheeseburger meal here than a fast food restaurant because it tastes better and sooo much cheaper.

Pacific East Solon and Woodmere are my sushi haunts when I want simple, everyday maki rolls and nigiri sushi. (Pacific East Coventry is my destination for sashimi.) I would recommend Pacific East to anyone who is new to sushi.\n\nMy go-to sushi when I want "fast food" are the spicy tuna (for the heat), unagi (for the smoky sweet flavor), cucumber (clean and refreshing), and sweet potato (sweet crunch). Each sushi resto has their own take on how spicy tuna should be prepared. In the Cleveland area, I like Pacific East\'s best. The spicy tuna roll is often larger than the other maki rolls but I love its spicy, velvet texture.\n\nThe smaller maki rolls are well made though the larger, non-traditional maki rolls can be unwieldy. I have yet to have the go-to maki rolls unfurl on me, though. The sushi rice has a good texture and is well seasoned, hallmarks of good sushi. The ginger is pickled to how I like it. Only a dollop of true wasabi would complete the trifecta. But, alas, fresh wasabi is not so easy to come by in the Midwest.\n\nThe service is always friendly. Once in awhile when I come in for dinner on the weekends I come across the waitress who can\'t seem to remember anything. The front staff, though, keeps track of what I\'ve order recently in case I want to repeat an order and I can\'t remember what I had the last time. Absolute Perfection\n\nI have now sampled dishes from both the Malaysian and Japanese menu. Everything is made to perfection. The meals are beautifully prepared and presented and the tastes match what the eyes have enjoyed. I saw some lovely sushi presentations going to other tables. It has moved up to be my favorite restaurant with lots of interesting dishes which I will be sampling for many days to come. I recommend it without reservation to all who enjoy good food. EAU Chagrin Falls We tried this after the restaurant we were headed to turned out to have been permanently closed. We were seated next to this bright, odd display case with a few figurines that still had price tags on them. The restaurant was probably half-full. \n\n Our service was pretty good, except that our waitress seemed to forget our requests until about her third visit back the whole night. My husband loved his chicken katsu but I was definitely let down by the sushi rolls. The presentation is beautiful and the chef showed off his knife cuts in the garnish, but the rolls were not flavorful and almost falling apart. \n\n The worst part of the night for me was that the one, lone sushi chef quickly ran out of things to do and decided to stand there surveying the small dining room the remainder of our meal. I imagine this is what eating in a prison surrounded by guards feels like. I'm not used to this since our old restaurant always had at least four sushi chefs and they never had time to even look up!\n\n We may return, but definitely not to get a good sushi fix. I actually enjoy the rolls at our local Heinen's more.... I was so excited to hear that Pac. E. was coming to Solon. Love their Eton location and Cleve. Hts. too. We've been there 4-5 times already and sadly there are only a few other patrons there. the food is fabulous. Sushi is amazing- great presentation. Staff are so nice and accomodating- insisted on giving my picky daughter a new flavor of bubble tea when she didn't care for the chocolate one. \nThe only negative about this place is the building. They tried hard to make the decor appealing, but the structure of the building, with the dated, fogged, garden windows in the front, spoil the atmosphere. I also think the location is bad-- convenient for me, yes, but could doom them in the end.\nI will continue to go here. Love the sushi and the people. Support local establishment! I second Caroline C.'s notion of sloppily made, over sized sushi rolls. \n\nAfter thoroughly enjoying the spicy salmon and x'mas rolls at the Coventry location, I thought I'd give the Solon location a shot...expecting to receive the same rolls. Unfortunately, the quality of the tuna differed, as did the proportions of rice (so much rice!), Many of the rolls were so loosely prepared that they fell apart when dipped in soy sauce. I also tried the Boston Roll, which was good in theory, but way larger than I could consume in one bite.

Had lunch here recently while traveling for work. It is SUPER easy to miss from outside. There is no signage except for on the side by the door, but when it's nice out that door is open and you can't see it at all. \n\nThe air conditioning was out while we were there, but they had big fans and plenty of water! I loved the specials for lunch - all chef's choice! I almost always get these to get a good idea for a restaurant. The one I got (#1) was 1 sushi roll and 7 nigiri, which were huge! It was super affordable and delicious. Decent sushi. Nothing amazing but the serving size was pretty good for the price. We ordered 3 sushi rolls off the "regular roll" section and one nigiri and it ended up being about $20 total. We felt pretty satisfied with the amount we ordered. They do have a great list of sake though. I would definitely come back but might try Red first if it\'s not a weekend night. This charming spot is a solid choice for sushi near the capitol. Would recommend going with a group to share a couple of the small plates and sushi rolls. Ordered a variety of dishes listed below (and ranked in order or preference) \n\n\nMiso Soup\nThe miso had a great flavor and was perfect for the cold night! This was my favorite for the night \n\nAvocado roll\nSushi, rice, in a seaweed wrapper. The rolls were fresh and light. \n\nLamb Curry\nThe lamb curry comes with rice and is a mix of the lamb with potatoes, and carrots in the curry sauce. \n\nPork belly\nThe pork belly, served on a bed of kimchi and seasons with garlic has a good taste, but was not as soft as I would expect for brisket. \n\nEdamame\nThe edamame is served in a fairly standard way. The soybeans came out salted. They were served cold which I found to be a bit jarring. \n\nOverall I would go back again. I would reorder the miso, curry, and avo rolls. I would sub the brisket and edamame for some of their other options. I had dinner here tonight with one of my reps from work. Service was quick! We ordered the dragon, fire and rainbow rolls. The sushi was fresh and the service was great. Can't really ask for much more! I would love to visit again when I return to Madison. Went there for dinner on a Tuesday night. Friendly staff, good bar selection (the whiskey was overpriced, though) and the sushi was very good. But even though the restaurant was not too crowded and I ordered the small plate of chef's choice sushi, I still ended up waiting for about 30 minutes for the food. I've only eaten here once though, so this may have been an anomaly.

This restaurant is very good. I had house lo mien which was wonderful. They provide authentic Chinese food at very good price with high quality. The owner is also very hospitable. I definitely come back again. Arguably the best takeout in Shaker. It wouldnt survive in NYC where every block has a delivery/ takeout place, but it consistently makes tasty food, which I cant say the same for other places. My review is solely based on one item on the menu. Their fried rice is to die for. I get nothing else... Try it you will love it. I've been going here for years. I can't say enough about their fried rice. It's honestly the best I've had from any Chinese restaurant. The staff is always friendly and every item I've ever ordered has been delicious. I've even gotten my mom and grandmother eating here. Love this place! Honestly, I didn't know what to think about this place at first, but for low-key, really affordable Chinese food, it's amazing. The quality is excellent and everything is generally really well done. The service is uncomplicated, though I have only ever gotten take out from here. I wouldn't necessarily plan on eating in the restaurant, but it makes an excellent dinner at home.

The Echo Tap is the most genuine Wisconsin bar in Madison. They not only have the coldest beer and J\xc3\xa4ger in town, but the food is excellent as well. The Echo burger is a must try; with 1beef patty, 1brat patty, one slice of Swiss cheese and one slice of cheddar all topped with saut\xc3\xa9d onions. I am a very happy visitor. I have only been here once, but I thought it was pretty decent. I really liked the outdoor patio. There's a tv out there, so I enjoyed watching the US Open while eating.\n\nI came here for lunch on a Thursday. They have a 5 tacos for $5 deal on Thursdays. It's not on the menu, nor on their specials menu. They're hard shell tacos with ground beef and cheese and lettuce. It comes with salsa. Guacamole is an extra 50 cents, though I'm not sure why. I'm fairly certain it's packaged pre-made guac. I didn't really sell the tacos that well, huh... Well, like I said, it's ridiculously cheap, and it's cheaper than Taco Bell at that point, so I hold these tacos to the same standards as those at Taco Bell. I was very full, so it was money well spent.\n\nThe other food here looks really good if that's of any consolation! I've heard good things about their menu; I just haven't tried it myself, so I may do that the next time I'm here. When I was in college, Echo was where all my hip student radio station friends would go in search of stories that would make you cringe come Sunday morning. It was dingy enough to satisfy dive bar needs but sketchy enough to make you seem edgy in comparison to all your Plaza-going friends. White girl from the suburbs of Minnesota needs all the edge she can get.\n\nEcho has since been revamped as of last summer or so and while I miss some of the "edge", I usually get by just fine as I\'m conquering one of their delicious, giant calzones. Also, after [an attempt at] playing tennis last week, my friend introduced me to the fact that Echo dishes out 5 tacos for $4 on Thursdays. Nothing compliments tennis quite like tacos so we nabbed a table inside, grabbed a beer and placed our orders with the friendly waiter. He looked at us with an eyebrow raised (probably having confused us with Maria Sharapova and Anna Kournikova) and asked whether we were planning to share the 5 tacos. Ha - silly, rabbit. "That\'ll be 5 tacos each please."\n\nNothing crazy unique going on here but it\'s a comfortable venue with an adequate beer selection, enjoyable bar food and saucy-ish tennis players. Nice clean bar with an obvious neighborhood following. Food service is friendly and fast. The cheeseburger lacked real beef flavor and the fries had a fish essence to the oil. I would not order either on a repeat visit. The parking is pretty good for a place so close to the congested downtown. Who would have thought you could find a dive townie bar in downtown Madison surrounded by the UW Campus? But that is exactly what the Echo Tap is. If you are sick of the college bars and want to go to a place with a lot of character I suggest the Echo. This place has it\'s share of fun regulars that are certain to keep you entertained. The upstairs has 3 dart boards and a pool table. You can also get food like burgers, fries, chicken tenders, and the usual bar food. The echo also sells cigarettes and small bottles of liquor. Anytime is the best time to go but expect crowds while activities are going on at the Kohl Center.\n\nAlso ask if you can join the "PBR Priority Club"

Great ambience, good food, not so good value for money. Came here for iftar with my family only because it's closer to home than Almonasabah which is in Mississauga. Just want to say I'd rather go all the way to Almonasabah as the Mandi there is unbeatable in terms of aroma, taste and authenticity! The food are good but the service is not as good as the food.....I hope in the future they care with the customer and smile at least a bit lol..... It was tough for me to truly gauge how much I did and didn't like this restaurant. When we went it wasn't that busy. Having had Mandi in Dubai, Qatar I can honestly say that I didn't 100% love it. \n\nPros:\n1. Service was awesome \n2.It was decorated in a cute little way ( influences of Emirati, Egyptian and Moroccan hints)\n3. A woman was making the food alone in the kitchen it had such a homey feel i loved this part. \n\nThere really weren't too many cons except the food - it could have been better. My beef steak was hard to cut because it was very tough. We had never been there before so I wish the server gave a bit more information. \n\nI would visit again and try something different. I have it 3 stars because I'm not sure if I love it or hate it. I've only visited this place twice and both times got great service... The servers were attentive and only came to assist us when needed, I hate feeling crowded or interrupted too much while dining.. they have a really nice cozy set up in the basement where you done on the floor on Arabian style cushions. There are prayer Mats on the other side where patrons can perform their prayer which must be a little of a distraction for them but the whole vibe is very quiet and serene. We ordered the chicken stew on rice for first visit and it was so delicious, the serving portion looked like it wouldn't be enough but we had a hard time finishig our meals. The second visit I tried the goat meat, which was the best I've ever had hands down! I'll always come back just for the goat meat. Honestly. They nailed it with the seasonings and sauce, the meat is just so tender and juicy and made fresh to order. The staff again were very polite and inviting. I ordered chicken and rice dish.\nChicken was terrible. It felt like it was either over cooked or stale. The salt content in the chicken was over the top. Also they seem to have increased the price of almost all items and add to the fact that we took a subway to come to this place even though the restaurants near our apartment serves better food for cheaper price.\nThe server was rude and when we politely gave her the feedback, she cut as off and was like "I will let the chef know"...I mean let me atleast finish..It wasnt even like I was going on and on...I just said...The chicken was not the best...It had lot of salt..The goat meat was good though.\n\nWould only come back for the goat meat.

We decided to stop in on a Friday night after doing some furniture shopping. What a pleasant surprise. We had a couple of great cocktails along with the Pork Porterhouse and Crab cake entrees. Our server Julie did a great job and was very attentive without being overbearing. \nThe atmosphere is relaxed but upscale. The prices were very reasonable. We found a new favorite! I have been passing this new restaurant in the area for a few months now and finally decided to stop.\nWhen I got to the door there was a sign posted stating proper attire required. I was dressed in skinny jeans, knee high boots and a sweater. Upon entering in asked about the attire and was informed that I was good and that inappropriate attire would be sweats, workout clothes, etc. \nI was told that there would be a 30 minute wait so opted for the bar instead.\nThe restaurant is nicely upscale and beautifully decorated. Very comfy.\nI often have a hard time sitting at the bar as I have long legs, but underneath was surprisingly roomy.\nThe bar tender did not hesitate in welcoming me and advised me of an additional meal not yet added to the menu. He was very knowledgeable and descriptive.\nThe drink list was extensive and did not include daiquiris, margaritas or the like. They off plenty of wines and maybe some beers I think. I don't drink so I opted for water.\nI ordered the lobster bisque instead of salad and WOW!!!! Top of the line! Delicious. Super flavorful, creamy and smooth.\nFor the entr\xc3\xa9e I ordered scallops with brussel sprouts over a sweet potato something or other. I forgot the proper name, but it was one of the decorative plate smears. LOL Had bits of walnut in it. There was another smear of something white. Both smears were wonderfully tasty. LOL \nThe scallops were perfectly cooked, beautifully browned and melted in my mouth.\nAbout the brussel sprouts, I find them generally edible, but I'm not a fan, but those scallops...magnificent! However they were grilled, took all of the bitterness out.\nNeedless to say, I was a super happy diner that evening. I will visit again soon.\nOh...pricing... higher end. I paid about $45 for my meal. I dined alone, but had great conversation with a couple sitting next to me. OMG by far the best meal I've had in quite a while Food outstanding Service 5star too Definitely recommend Coleslaw was butter. Got the bouillabaisse but it was pretty thick. Oysters were decent. For our first visit here we thought we were meeting friends for an early dinner. Hats off to Apple for installing yet another phone disabling update the day prior, as the only one with a phone I could neither receive or place calls to get our wires uncrossed, so after 45 minutes or so of forbearance, we rallied and made it a "date night." Apple did, however clear my solitaire app\'s glitches, so there is that! The happy hour drinks did an admirable job of unruffling our feathers and happily they sidestep the common practice of using bottom-shelf liquor in happy hour drinks and go for the good stuff. After having both suffered excruciating shellfish food poisoning bouts not long prior, but steeled by excellent cocktails, we dove headlong into the impressively presented oysters on the half-shell and shrimp cocktail, and followed it with a round of excellent jambalaya, which was just hot enough to aid in sobering us up for the ride home! Kudos to the excellent waitstaff and chef for rescuing what had begun as a very disappointing evening!

Cette fin de semaine, mon mari et moi sommes all\xc3\xa9s dans le quartier Dix30 " just for the lolz ". En chemin dans l\'autobus, je lisais Le Devoir et il y avait une critique assez positive de ce restaurant qui disait qu\'il s\'\xc3\xa9tait grandement am\xc3\xa9lior\xc3\xa9 dans les deux derni\xc3\xa8res ann\xc3\xa9es. Nous avons donc d\xc3\xa9cid\xc3\xa9 d\'aller d\xc3\xaener l\xc3\xa0 apr\xc3\xa8s l\'enregistrement \xc3\xa0 l\'h\xc3\xb4tel, en plus c\'\xc3\xa9tait juste \xc3\xa0 c\xc3\xb4t\xc3\xa9 du Alt.\n\nEn passant la porte, j\'ai tout de suite trouv\xc3\xa9 la d\xc3\xa9co de tr\xc3\xa8s bon go\xc3\xbbt. C\'\xc3\xa9tait spacieux, propre et vert pomme. Qui pourrait d\xc3\xa9tester quelque chose couleur vert pomme? Le plafond vo\xc3\xbbt\xc3\xa9 ajoutait aussi \xc3\xa0 la prestance de la salle \xc3\xa0 manger.\n\nEn ce qui concerne le menu, il fait tr\xc3\xa8s " italien rustique " je dirais. Les choix saisonniers en table d\'h\xc3\xb4te sont probablement les meilleures options. J\'ai choisi la soupe du jour en entr\xc3\xa9e, qui \xc3\xa9tait une cr\xc3\xa8me d\'asperge soyeuse en bouche, tr\xc3\xa8s fra\xc3\xaeche et avec une petite pointe de romarin. Juste assez pour rehausser le go\xc3\xbbt de l\'asperge. Mon mari lui a choisi la salade de roquette aux figues, prosciutto, tomates-cerises et parmesan: elle \xc3\xa9tait d\xc3\xa9licieuse et ses saveurs tr\xc3\xa8s harmonieuses. C\'\xc3\xa9tait possiblement la meilleure salade que nous avons mang\xc3\xa9e depuis longtemps. En plat principal, mon mari a choisi les orecchiette aux crevettes nordiques et tomb\xc3\xa9e de poireaux, le tout servi dans une sauce \xc3\xa0 la cr\xc3\xa8me et au beurre extr\xc3\xaamement riche et onctueuse et parfaitement assaissonn\xc3\xa9es. Il l\'a trouv\xc3\xa9e un peu lourde pour un midi estival, mais qu\'est-ce qu\'on s\'en fout quand c\'est bon comme \xc3\xa7a! Pour ma part, j\'avais choisi le poisson du march\xc3\xa9: un saumon po\xc3\xaal\xc3\xa9 servi sur un orgetto (risotto d\'orge) \xc3\xa0 la betterave, le tout accompagn\xc3\xa9 d\'asperges r\xc3\xb4ties et d\'une chiffonnade de fenouil, radis et oignons rouges. Je n\'ai pas mang\xc3\xa9 beaucoup de saumon dans ma vie, mais je sais que celui-ci \xc3\xa9tait le meilleur jusqu\'\xc3\xa0 maintenant et que je n\'en aurais pas d\'aussi bon avant tr\xc3\xa8s longtemps! Il \xc3\xa9tait cuit \xc3\xa0 la perfection: la peau \xc3\xa9tait extr\xc3\xaamement croustillante et la chair on ne peut plus moelleuse. Le yin et le yang dans un pav\xc3\xa9 de poisson! La saveur des accompagnements \xc3\xa9tait aussi assez puissante pour supporter la robustesse du poisson. Aussi, l\'onctuosit\xc3\xa9 de l\'orgetto n\'avait d\'\xc3\xa9gale que le croquant de la chiffonnade de l\xc3\xa9gumes. Quand aux asperges, elle faisaient un amusant rappel de la soupe qui avait pr\xc3\xa9c\xc3\xa9d\xc3\xa9. Nous n\'avons pas pris de dessert, car \xc3\xa0 ce moment nous \xc3\xa9tions pleins et nous avions un autre restaurant \xc3\xa0 essayer le soir pour souper. Il fallait se laisser de la place!\n\n\xc3\x80 propos du service, je n\'ai rien \xc3\xa0 redire. Il \xc3\xa9tait accueillant, courtois, rapide et efficace. Nous avions d\xc3\xa9cid\xc3\xa9 de ne pas prendre de vin et j\'ai \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 content de voir que notre d\xc3\xa9cision a \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 respect\xc3\xa9e et n\'a pas eu d\'impact sur la qualit\xc3\xa9 du service que nous avons re\xc3\xa7u. \xc3\x80 trop d\'endroits le service se fait soit insistant sur la carte des vins ou encore aussit\xc3\xb4t qu\'on se rend compte qu\'il n\'y aura pas d\'argent \xc3\xa0 faire sur votre dos, on vous ignore durant tout le repas.\n\nEn bref, c\'est un endroit que je vous recommande fortement si vous passez dans le Dix30. C\'est probablement la meilleure table d\'inspiration italienne \xc3\xa0 Brossard, sinon la meilleure table de la rive sud. D\'apr\xc3\xa8s ce que j\'ai vu, c\'est aussi un des rares \xc3\xa9tablissements du quartier qui n\'est pas un steakhouse dont le public cible est le douchebag en v-neck et sa douchesse de plastique. Wow! Talk about fresh pasta. You can tell that this is homemade and not from a box. I ordered raviolis that were stuffed with meat and a mushroom sauce on top. It was out of this world. Bravo! Great outdoor rooftop terrasse which is a must in the summer. All my colleagues loved their order as well. I will definitely be coming back. I'm just sorry it took me 10 years to try this place. The South Shore, an area where (other than dim sum restaurants) I'm totally unfamiliar with the lay of the land so I was relieved when my colleague suggested the restaurant. \n\nUnfortunately Le Tomate Blanche is located in Dix/30 which is an automatic minus 1 for ambiance, however I'll admit that it is a convenient location for a business lunch. The interior atmosphere of the restaurant is quite nice and they do have a terrace, but this puts you in the middle of Dix/30 overlooking shops and parking spaces. \n\nI had the buffalo mozzarella to start and the risotto as my main course. Both were good but not particularly special. The service was attentive, friendly and quick. Last time i came here was 2 years ago and i forgot how good it was. The service was very friendly and fast. The food was very tasty. I have nothing bad to say about the whole experience;) Nice place\nI was impressed by the service there. Very friendly and useful. I did take a very long time to choose and they were patient with me. I did love the risotto, perfectly made. \nIt is an italian style but still modern and not too earthy and filling.\nI found some amazing big formats bottles but really hiding in a corner, away from any sight. I though it was a shame, it's gonna be spoiled.

This is a tentative review, as I was sick when I agree here today. Giving this place a confirmed review the next time I come here.\n\nWent to this Pho Metro for dinner, but wasn't sure if it was affiliated with the one on Lawrence Ave East. Staff are on the quiet side (probably because it was close to closing time) but are very friendly.\n\nI ordered the P2 (Pho Tai, rare beef pho), medium size. The portion size is average, normally what you get anywhere else. The soup itself, for some reason, tasted a bit too salty, like it was left for too long. This is where I figured I needed to visit a second time - to see if it was my sickness that changed the profile, or if it was actually the restaurant itself.\n\nI would imagine it was me, given I loved the Pho Metro at their other location. Vermicelli was awesome! Pho tastes awesome! Great relaxed atmosphere. TV available! I didn't like the avocado smoothie. Didn't have enough much taste. I think they didn't use enough avocado and ripe ones. Ah well the food was still pretty good. The plaza is super quiet. Overall great location and delicious food. Hidden gem! Pho Metro was our go to place for a quick fix of pho. Our family would go there at least once a week. As of late the food quality has changed, likely due to the recent ownership change. It seems that the new owners have decided to put their own spin on things. Flavours are definitely not the same. This is not the best Pho restaurant, however, due to limited selection for Viet restaurants in the north end of Markham, this is a decent choice. \nPho broth is flavourful, however, they use the dry Pho noodles instead of the fresh one which is a bit disappointing. \nStaff seemed friendly. Food arrived quickly. I would come back for Viet cravings as its close by. One of the best Pho places in Markham. It is very affordable. Their large pho bowl is under $10. Great for lunch and dinner. \n\nThe food comes out very quickly and the servers are very nice.

Kind of a weird place, weird ambiance, but decent quick Americanized Mexican food.\nIt's like a McDonald's, but with a hostess and waiter. We sat next to the entrance and next to the strange little waiting area. It was pretty busy on a Friday night, but was perfect for my taco and enchilada craving with our kids in tow. I wouldn't go as a date night restaurant, but I would go back. Margarita next time, definitely. I've had my share of really good, slap your nana good Mexican food. This wasn't it. Granted, I only had a fried ice cream and horchata, but the chips and salsa lacked flavor and the icecream was far overpriced for what you got.\nThe whole reason I'm actually writing a review, however, isn't because of the flavor of the food, but rather the atrocious service we received. First off, when we walked in, we didn't know that it was essentially an open seating, so we stood at the cashier looking like schmucks. It took about 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge us, and we still were never greeted.\nOur server was the cherry on the pie. Took 10 minutes to get us our drink (order) & once he realized we were only getting dessert, he quickly turned rude & short with us. I get that as a server you are working for tips, so a smaller bill would be less important, but you never know how much you could actually get from someone.\n\nSuffice to say, I don't plan on going back, at least (for damn sure) not to this location. Amazing food! Very "mom and pop shop" feel. Quick service, incredible pricing, and absolutely delicious! I have never ordered anything that I didn\'t love. My cOmpany is catering a lunch next week and this place is super close. My boss wanted a bag of chips & salsa to try out before we ordered & I wanted a bean & cheese burro. I called in the order & went to pick it up & the guy at the counter wouldn't let me order chips & salsa. He kept telling me the burro came with complimentary chips & 2 ounces of salsa. He would not listen to me so I left without any food. Needless to say our company lunch will not be catered by Morenos. LOL!!! Recently moved in this area and Moreno's has been our family go to place. Food is very good and consistent. The bean dip they serve with chips when you're seated is Excellent. Our family eats the complimentary bowl in minutes. There is a charge to have a second bowl but it is worth it. We have been very happy eating here and recommend it for sure.

They took a little too long to take my order. I ordered chilorio con verduras, but I doubt the cook tasted the dish for seasoning before leaving the kitchen, it needed salt, but it wasn\'t bad. The service was very slow and they were only serving about 4 tables. You were able to hear and feel the tension. They weren\'t busy, they were just not running things efficiently. They tried their best, yes, but a very quick "thank you" came off as: "We\'re too busy, go home now." I don\'t think their intentions were bad, it\'s just that they need to relax and organize themselves better. This is true Sinaloa style food. I would go back for sure. The service is great and friendly. We had the corn tamales. They were fresh and delicious. We also had, gorditas, frijoles, arroz, sopa fresca, barbacoa, and finally dessert, flan. Everything was delish! The server Abigail was friendly and fast. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a piece of Mexican food. Very Tasty real Mexican! Very Sinaloan! Authentic.\nAnything you order has great flavor. You won't need a salt shaker at all. I came to this place because I follow the instagram account of the owners son, @tamariindo and he is usually posting very good pictures of food from this place. I live in California and was coming from a trip, happened to drive through Phoenix and I remembered that I wanted to check this place out. Like always I have to be honest I am a very very picky eater the food must be good in order for me to eat it. \nI ordered a "Tostada"- bomb.com then I ordered a taco Hazz, hand made tortilla, it came with carne asada and a anaheim chile with melted cheese and lettuce, the meat was very soft. (Extra plus) for my sons I ordered a taco de carne asada again very soft meat and hand mase tortilla. My husband ordered a "Enchiladas Rancheras" it is three enchiladas stuffed with beans and cheese and on the side frijoles puercos! Oh man those must be the best enchiladas we\'ve had in a long time! To drink I had a agua de Jamaica and my husband had a agua de cevada! Both just perfect to taste. Overall this place brought back that taste of Mexico cooking( sinaloa/nayarit style) very simple yet that taste is just perfect! Friendly service, really good food! \nWill be coming here again! :) \n\nThe barbacoa and the beans are amazing. Along with the freshly maid tortillas!

Delicious Las Tortillas tacos in a nice room with service, beer and tequila. Count me in!\n\nWe stumbled across Oro Azul after finding a closed "Las Tortillas", only to find out that it is Las Tortillas! The owner told me that the Las Tortillas location no longer sells prepared Tacos, but is a retail store so people can buy their tortillas, and they supply the Oro Azul restaurant. And what a fantastic experience we had!\n\nI ordered three tacos and was very impressed by the huge difference in flavours. The Shrimp had some type of creamy melted cheese, the steak was topped with a spicy green salsa, and the Al Pastor, a sweet blend of pork and pineapple, with a medium heat red salsa to top it off. All of them were adorned with fresh onions, cilantro, and limes to squeeze on top. Fantastic!\n\nFresh, flavourful, and authentic tortillas, folded around delicious fillings and salsas. This was the taco experience I had been looking for.\n\nTacos go for $3.50 - $4.50 a piece, and three filled me up. Had I been feeling gluttonous, I could have handles a fourth one. A mexican beer goes for about $5. Total tab for a beer and beyond tasty tacos - less than $20.\n\nI can\'t wait to take more people here! So I came back, giving it another chance, and just plain terrible, food is okay, but what ruined it was that, my kid brought a happy meal from Mcdonalds and the owner said that needed to be thrown in the garage.. Never coming back. Ate here last week with the family which wasn't to bad, but quite expensive but I won't rant about how expensive it was. The food was good but for the price that you pay it not worth it. The pop was 3.75, I ordered the chefs special which was 2 enchiladas white beans, and green salas for 14.75. The Nachos were prepared quickly but the sherred cheese was cold not melted for what arw paying for the amount of Nachos is enough for 2 people only. The service was slow but it was not busy. The place is a family own business. They have a policy of no outside food in the restuant meaning no Tim Horton coffee or it will be removed. This place is by my work and I've been meaning to check it out. Menu is small but everything is made fresh and in house including their tortillas. I ordered the pork marinated with chipotle peppers taco and the chorizo taco. The pork was ok, not bad, not great. The chorizo was excellent. Will go back to try some of the larger items in the menu. A little "upscale" compared to the LasTortillas store, which is still owned and operated by this great family, but it still offers some of the best tacos and tortas in the city.

If you just land in Montreal or live in Dorval or West Island and is craving for some good quality sushi, you definitely have to bookmark this one here. It is a small family run restaurant with friendly and attentive service. Fish are fresh and appetizers are scrumptious. If you are like and like Hunan dumplings, you must try it there. My first time and ai am happy to have tried it, I am enjoying my evening after a travel. I tried to eat here with my wife at 6pm on a Friday night. The restaurant was completely empty (not 1 person inside). They told us they were too busy to serve us, and said that they didn\'t want us to wait. They recommended that we go to another restaurant because they were too "busy." I told them that was a terrible business strategy, and then the sushi chef told me to "f**k off" 3 times. I was taken aback by this encounter, and I was mad enough to leave my first ever review in hopes that it will prevent another person from ever going to this restaurant. Unfortunately the worst sushi I have ever had. The presentation was uninspired, the taste unmotivating and I don't even want to think about the quality. This always happens when I let my best friend chose the restaurant haha. Came here for dinner while staying at an airport hotel. We were the only people in the restaurant. Decor is clean and tidy. Sushi rolls were nicely presented, tasty, and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and quick.

My friend and I came here to eat two nights ago (sorry for the late review) and we had a wonderful time. Nick was our waiter and he was probably the best waiter we've had at an Olive Garden. He was nice as can be to us and really sweet to my friends two year old daughter. The food was delicious but it's the customer service that really stuck with us.

This restaurant had so much potential and I was quite excited to try it. My friends were in Montreal from out of town and wanted to try a French restaurant close to where they were staying. I made a reservation for 20:30 but apparently when my friends arrived, the door was locked and the manager told them that they thought the reservation was for 20:00. After that little mishap, we were seated and we were the only people in the entire restaurant. Sure, it was a Monday night, but this was a bit shocking to be completely alone. The decor is quite nice with a little enclosed patio area and a fountain.\n\nWe ordered a cheese plate to start which was quite expensive for what it was. We had bleu cheese, oka and another soft cheese. None of these were that impressive but since we were hungry, we finished the plate anyway. I had their special salad which was greens with strawberries. The salad was doused in dressing- so much that I could not taste anything else except the bitterness of the vinegar. For dinner, I had smoked gnocchi with proscuttio and sun dried tomatoes. This dish just fell flat- it was really bland and unimpressive. My friend ordered octopus salad and found that it was equally bland. \n\nWe also ordered a bottle of wine and they didn't have the one we requested. They brought us another one which was extremely bitter and tasted quite cheap. The bill at the end was quite shocking given the quality of the food. It's safe to say that we won't be coming back here. Luckily, the night was redeemed with a trip to Ripples. This small restaurant/wine bar is cozy and modern, and my husband and I enjoyed a wonderful meal with some very nice wine. A lengthy wine menu and a much briefer food menu are given on clipboards. Very interesting choices on both.\n\nYou'll find several types of bread in the basket, all of which we enjoyed. We tried a couple of different salads (one with an amazing type of heirloom tomato), followed by gnocchi (smoky, with proscuitto) and the risotto of the day (duck, that day). We both agreed that the gnocchi was the best either of us had ever tried, and the risotto was in the top 5.\n\nThe food is not inexpensive, but it was of such quality and we had such good service, I think it was worth every penny! (Or nickel, now that we aren't using pennies?) Next time, I would like to try the cheese plate, and dessert! Everything we ordered including various small appetizers, salad, soup, and dessert were all absolutely delicious and our waiter was amazing! Would recommend this place and will return on our next visit I dined at Ariel on December 17, 2011 for dinner with a group of friends. Though I certainly wish we had gone anywhere else. The owner seems to consider his wine list large, but whenever we selected a wine he would come back a few minutes later and tell us he didn't have that one. He would then present two alternative wines, which were more expensive. After I declined this upselling tactic, I was told the wine I chose (which has been featured in Food & Wine magazine) was not a very good one anyway. That is lacked body, and had no tannin structure. Continuing with that theme, we were told that some items on the menu (of which there are few) were not available that evening. After much haggling to order something on their various menus that they could actually provide, the food was underwhelming for the most part. I am happy to report that one person enjoyed their meal, as the lamb dish was expertly prepared. I had the duck, which was barely room temperature when it arrived on my plate, with sides that were bland. My husband ordered the Schnitzel, and while there was a lot of it on the plate, it lacked all flavor. I was beginning to wonder if they had run out of salt entirely. If you only have one evening to dine in Montreal, for the love of god stay away from here. Went here with my bf when we dared to venture out into the Canadien cold this winter.\nThe concierge at our hotel had this menu and since i eat scallops, i was drawn to their offer of scallops so decided to give this restaurant a try.\n\nI was not disappointed.\n\nWe opened up a delicious bottle of Chardonnay and it was really good. The server was polite and courteous and every dish was timed really well.\n\nI enjoyed the atmosphere very much for it was quiet and romantic. We got a booth seat so i can put my jacket next to me and i felt very comfortable.\n\nThe appetizer course was a butternut soup wihch was really good and i ordered my bf a salad which was amazing with its sherry-shallot vinaigrette. The salad was simple with slivers of parmesan, light dressing and croutons-- just how i love my salads. The soup was good too, not too sweet with croutons to spice up the taste as well.\n\nI liked my scallops but they were served a bit cold...there were five scallops and i'm glad that not too little were given. I think the boy enjoyed his sea bass too...\n\nDessert!!! My fave molten cake did not disappoint. I loved it a lot and it even came with a hot chocolate which was really cool.\nIf i visit Montreal again, i think i would return for the salad and the hot chocolate. \n\nI would recommend having more vegetarian options though.\nBut overall, love the atmosphere, service, wine and dessert. :)

New restaurant in the destiny plaza at Old Kennedy and Steeles. Right when you walk in, it's an open kitchen, where you can see the yakitori being smoked. The waiters seem to all speak Mandarin, but with broken English they were able to serve us.\n\nThe layout is very cute with all the tables being wood, the booths seem a little small, we sat on a high table. The chairs are a little hard and uncomfy.\n\nThey don't have their liquor license yet, so they have pop or bottled water at the front where you help yourself. The pop is $1.75.\n\nThey have a warming tray to place your ordered yakitori while you eat. One order comes with 4 skewers, and it's $5.95 for a set. They have a variety of different meats. We tried to 2 that were recommended, lamb and pork intestines. Both are very good, the lamb were nicely seasoned and not too salty, the pork intestines had a garlic clove in the middle that was crunchy, very nice pairing.\n\nWe tried the eggplant skewer, it didn't come in a skewer, but on a plate, well seasoned with cilantro, it was slightly salty after a couple more bites.\n\nAlso wanted to try a noodle, so got the minced meat noodle. This was a cold noodle, mixed with minced meat, cucumber, cilantro. This was probably my least favourite. It was too salty for my taste, it needed more cucumber to cut the salt.\n\nLastly we got squid tentacle. It was 2 sets of tentacles, not too big. Once again using the same seasoning, so i found it was salty.\n\nOverall an interesting concept. The skewers are really yummy, I think that's what I would stick with next time I come. The service was pretty good, you can tell they are new, they are not familiar with the table numbers yet. But they're polite. Nice what my friend and I ordered overall is good. Ice tea, water and any drinks pick in front of the cashier up. I will go next time but waiting time is too long. I quite like Chat Bar, a bbq place where bbq food is cooked and ready to serve. Don't get me wrong, it's not just a bbq place because they do serve other types of food as well. The selection of food is pretty good. Some of my favorites are Oysters and ribs. Another good point about Chat Bar is that it is opened until pretty late, so you can go there when everywhere else is already closed.\nThe only parts that I don't like about Chat Bar are that it only accepts cash. And you have to pay for water. When it comes to drinks, it's self-serve at the front of the restaurant where the fridges are situated. Oh, and the restaurant is pretty dark, so I find myself having a hard time reading the menu. That's all. First time here at this location. As a semi self serve restaurant, i believe its a decent place to enjoy your dinner or whatever the case is. Why i say semi self serve? well they had good attitudes and serves you food, BUT all drinks are self serve. which is not a big deal. Water is free(water bottles). I tired Lamp,Chicken wings, and Chicken Joints Skewers. Taste decent! not bad at all. Great idea on the idea of a heat table (my picture). Environment is decent, dim light good music.\nOverall great place, CASH only tho -1 star () Came late on a weeknight for dinner with my girlfriend. Cash only. The place is decorated nicely. Trendy. You grab your own drinks from the front, and the water they give out is bottled.\n\nWe ordered the enoki mushrooms, chicken wings, lamb skewers and a mixed noodles. The skewers come out and are placed on the heated slab on the table to keep them warm. A cool feature.\n\nAll the skewers were pretty decent. And the noodles were nice. But my favourite of the night was definitely the enoki mushrooms. They come in a very flavourful garlic marinade/sauce, that I found delicious.\n\nPrice is on the higher end, and service was iffy. Might return.

The hot pot side wasn't all I hoped it to be, but the ramen was on point! Good music at an acceptable level to still have conversations over. The tea they serve is also delicious. I only wish they where open on Mondays because that's my day off. If you have high expectation like me, you will be disappointed. I went there because I want to try the ramen noodles, but their "tonkotsu" is not tonkotsu at all, not even close. It tastes like some sort of Chinese style pork soup. \n\nWhoever making this "tonkotsu" should at least go to Sushi Ken or Cherryblossom Noodle Cafe to see what "tonkotsu" is like. Or better yet, go to the Ramen Museum in Yokohama, Japan to see the real deal.\n\nOn the plus side, the ramen texture is good, very hot when served. \n\nI will not return to this place. Tien Wong Hot Pot was the placed picked for the International Supper Club UYE, but come to find out they actually changed their name to T-Spot and well it was sort of hard finding the placed, but we made it!\n\nThe place is decorated nicely, like the feel of the joint.\n\nMy table went with a split pot of broth, half spicy, half not. We ordered a mixure of veggies, beef, chicken and noodles. We got to cooking our food. I also orderd the Taro Boba Tea, which was delish! \n\nI enjoyed spending time with my friends cooking our meal, but I don't feel I got the best bang for my buck and honestly I was still on the hungry side. It was a great experience doing the Hot Pot, I have had shabu shabu out in the LA area, and it was incredible, so I was looking for that WOW factor again. \n\nI might come back to T Spot since its right down the street from me to try some ramen on a cold day. We visited on a Saturday night as a 4 top. Half of us had been here previously when it was Tien Wong's Hot Pot and raved about it. Personally, I was disappointed. The service was slow and about 20 mins after we submitted our order, we found out they were out of shrimp (no heads) and the chicken. Really? On a Saturday evening at 7:40pm? Thumbs up for planning ahead...(eye roll).\n\nThe food was, over all, ok. My favorite part was the watermelon tea though. I'll possibly go back to try some of the other teas and sit on the ramen side. \n\nOh, and don't forget it's BYOB and they charge an uncorking fee.\n\nAs my boyfriend pointed out, this place has a good game going. You bring your own booze, they charge you to open it, they entice you with options only to run out of them so you pick more expensive protein, and then they make you cook it yourself. Talk about low overhead! LOL I really wanted to love this place. Maybe I have high expectations. The idea is great but they just didn't deliver for me personally. I came here because of a tonkotsu ramen craving. \n\nSo I am a bit shy and one of my pet peeves is being the only one eating in a restaurant. The windows are covered with signs so you could not see if there were more people inside. Luckily I built up the courage and walked in. There were a few tables of people in there.\n\nI was greeted right away and was giving a vase of cucumber water and a glass of ice. I ordered the tonkotsu right away with straight noodles. You can choose several combinations like thick noodles or curly noodles and different broths. I also ordered an almond milk tea, but they ran out so the server suggested lavender. It was good, but the boba pearls were not my favorite. I imagine a good boba pearl to be sticky, chewy, soft, and sweet. I felt like boba was a little undercooked. \n\nAs far as the ramen goes, it was a bit on the salty side but it wasn't unbearable. It was just okay for me. I was surprised there was a lot of meat. What I was also surprised about was the table next to me had a vegetarian in their party and the waitress said there were no vegetarian options! They don't even have a vegetarian broth? I was a bit disappointed for the woman. Her friends ate ramen and she ordered a cheesecake. \n\nIn the end I was debating between 3 or 4 stars. I thought it was okay and I wouldn't mind coming back.

There is absolutely no need to visit this place. Dry, from the box-like taco shells housed tasteless meat, uninspired toppings and ended up being probably the worst taco I've had in my life.\n\nThe nachos were thoroughly bad. Gross cheese, and the chips were round! What self respecting Mexican serves round tortilla chips?\n\nThe ordering process was painfully inefficient and the staff were not the friendliest.\n\nWhy this place thought they could compete with all the solid places on Queen St. to get a taco is beyond me. I give them 6 months and they'll be gone. Another day, another burrito to try.\n\nI'd walked by this joint many, many times before, but on this particular day I was messing around with the Ritual app and noticed a listing for Tacorrito. Done.\n\nI decided to go with a medium pulled pork burrito, which I had stuffed with lime cilantro rice, black beans, saut\xc3\xa9ed vegetables, hot salsa, and guacamole. (The latter of which I had to pay extra for. Sigh.)\n\nI'll admit the first couple of bites were quite impressive. The hot-all-the-way-through burrito seemed to have a good amount of each component, and the pulled pork was quite tender and tasty. But as I got further and further into the wrapped concoction, I began to notice a preponderance of the aforementioned lime cilantro rice and my enthusiasm began to wane considerably. There were a few bites there that seemed to be only rice, and the burrito itself began to fall apart in the middle due to an overuse of this particular ingredient.\n\nIt's a shame, really, because this did have the potential to become an above-average example of food item that's long-since saturated the Toronto market. (I especially enjoyed the saut\xc3\xa9ed veggies, which should totally be a more prominent element within these types of burritos.) This is exactly what that corner needed. This spot finally has something healthful and worthwhile. Like a Subway but with Mexican ingredients, Tacorrito can whip up a taco or two in record time. No waiting around for some fancy-pants little excuse for a taco with a few shrimps or a bit of greasy chorizo, instead you get a whack of some seasoned ground beef topped with some fresh veg and you're ready to hit Queen St. with a vengeance. They have some vegetarian options that sounded good and as well check out the spicy coated Mexican fries. The plate we ordered was absolutely gigantic! It took longer than the tacos, so we ate a few and I ended up taking the rest to work the next day where it was my lunch! Crazy-good! Tacoalrighthough? 3.5. \n\nI ordered 3 tacos - all different meats, chips & salsa, and the churros. \n\nThe tacos came in the box in a pool of liquid (water likely) at the bottom so they were a little soggy when I was eating them. The taste? Not bad. I\'m sure that they would have tasted better without the excess fluids, but I still enjoyed them. \n\nChurros were great actually; I\'m a big fan of cinnamon and these certainly hit the spot after my meal. They come in a pair and it\'s probably what I\'d come back for from here funny enough. \n\nThe salsa was HOT. I was eating them after the tacos and I was thinking to myself, "Oh wow, those tacos were spicy I\'m still feeling it!" I had some water to settle the heat, but only later realized that the heat was coming from the salsa I was eating. So keep that in mind folks! The best thing one can say about this place is that it was open. The bowl tastes like wet cardboard, the chicken is dry, the veggie selection is substandard. But, it was open.

Went to Mesa location and drove 20 miles. Bought groceries for $300. Got 6 different items from deli. The lady who was working was really unprofessional. She was pretty much giving me a favor. So I bought smoked Gouda for $6.99 I got two pounds. Instead of cutting it into neat slices with wax paper in between, I get CRUMBLES of cheese. Can't put it in sandwiches, nothing. Is this how you suppose to slice cheese?! You can't even separate it. Extremely disappointed with this service, I'm most likely not getting any deli meats or cheeses anymore. We tried this location thinking it would be better than their other location but it was much much worst. The quality of their meat is beyond horrible. They really deserve to be shut down if they continue to sell their customers meat, that is guaranteed to make their customers sick. I made the same mistake of buying $200 worth of meat from this location and again ended up throwing all of it away. Their meat is not edible, you will throw up if you take a bite of it. Lamb, and ground beef have a disgusting smell and their color isn't right. You will actually throw up trying to cook their meat from the horrible odor of meat. They lost me as a customer, I don't trust consuming any product from their store. Holy cow, they really expanded!! Same great meats and products as their PHX location but you no longer feel claustrophobic! It looks like they must have taken over a decent-sized grocery store. It's about as big as your standard Basha's/Fry's. I also think their produce is better than the PHX location. We always get our lamb here. Everything is halal and it's so much more affordable than going to AJ's! Another market that sells African items close to where I live! And for Indo-Pakistani items, now I don't have to go all the way to Apache Boulevard! The staff is friendly, the way customer service should always be! We discovered this new gem after being mailed an advertisement (I was a little skeptical about the whole hand-slaughtered emphasis). So far I've only ordered sweets from the bakery and desserts to the restaurant. I look forward to ordering other foods, such as their pies. Not an enjoyable shopping experience. Will never go back. The store did not smell clean. The cashier was slow, did not smile, did not say "Thank you". Very limited products for sale. Area with bread had a couple loaves on the shelf. WOW.

I only came here for drinks. Well they have pretty good happy hour deals. If you are looking for cheap beer, they have $2 beer if you come here before 6pm. I had a mojito. Not bad not bad. They brew they own beer and you could get a growler here if you like. \n\nI have to come back for food. When the server walked by with the food, it smelled good. Heard from colleague they have good beer and good food here. Guaranteed consistency. I'm at a 3.5 on this one. It's a bit of a love - hate going on.\n\nThe staff/servers are 5 star. They are great\nThe ambiance is 4-5 star as well. It's very modern feeling with a touch of steam punk from the brewery.\n\nThe beers are excellent as well.\n\nI can't quite wrap my head around the menu and the portions.\n\nBison Burger.. was OK.. but the bun was weird. Tasted like gluten free buns do. Dry and sandy.\n\nBaked beans are great! Portion is pretty small considering.. .it's beans.\n\nThe wings are breaded... I hate that. I would go to KFC if I want panko.\n\nThe salads are exceptional, especially if you add the fish.\n\nIt's not a standard pub menu, which is their strength and their weakness. If you're tired of garlic ribs and fries, give this place a try. As the place is relatively new, there's a good chance they will continue to experiment and refine their selections and that's great.\n\nI will return.. and recommend... but that's more for the ambiance, the service and the beer. Absolutely loved this brewery. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we popped in for some beers as we were walking around Calgary during a quick stay before catching a flight. The whole vibe of the brewery is great, and the patio in the perfect setting for a few beers. Had their session IPA which is a great beer, but I think it was limited release. If it's not, get that - it's really good. There other IPA is good too Four stars for the beer alone. I could drink Show Pony for the rest of my life. The cocktails are good too, with a fairly original rake.\n\nThe food wasn\'t impressive in any substantial way and the "Fried Bits" appetiser was legit disgusting (this from a guy who thought, "bits of deep fried snacks? Delicious!"). It\'s probably the worst single item I\'ve head at a bar, ever.\n\nThe atmosphere is casual and not pretentious. Lots of business folk, people on dates, and yeah you MIGHT spot the odd 40 year old hipster, but it\'s not really the hippest spot (so you aren\'t going to feel out of place if you aren\'t raving about the latest Bon Iver track).\n\nNice addition to downtown. Go for the beer, stay if you\'re keeping it relaxed, but bounce if you\'re looking to hit that hunger. In recent years there has been an explosion of brewpubs and breweries in Calgary...no less than 15 at last count from small brew bars located in industrial areas to big brewpubs like Last Best. And as big beer lovers I can tell you we have tried almost all of them. But we always keep coming back to Last Best, which -- hands down -- has the best beer in Calgary. And most brewpubs either do the beer well, food well but rarely both. Last Bast is the odd gem where they do everything well. The staff are always super pleasant and service is great. The restaurant venue itself is an amazing space, and even nicer in summer with the big outdoor patio. There is also an associated downstairs bar and barber shop! My favorite beers are the Show Pony and Last Best IPA but you cant go wrong with anything here. We recently tried their brunch menu and were not disappointed. Try the huevos rancheros!

I stopped at Park Place Pub twice, both before eating at Park Bruges. The first time there I thought the bartender was nice. She got us a couple of beers and we caught some of the hockey game while waiting for our table to open up next door. Averaged prices for craft beers. The last time there was this past Sunday. We stopped in, not because of a wait next door since it was mid-afternoon, but because we wanted to catch the end of the Bucco game. The waitress was a little less pleasant than the first one, but still not bad. We only stayed for two, as the game went into extra innings, and left. I would return primarily just for drinks. The bar and place are cute and it does have that small town pub feel. I was really digging some of their d\xc3\xa9cor, especially the Beer steins, since I happen to be an avid collector. I happened in to Park Place Pub looking for a place with WiFi open past 7 on a Sunday night... and it worked out! When I first arrived there were only two other people there and it did take me walking up to the staff to be able to order a drink and my food. The bartender apologized noting that it was atypical service and I'll just assume that since it it was quiet they got distracted.\n\nI ordered the Blue Cheese Fries and they were very good! It is a big serving, so come hungry! Being a Sunday night the people there seemed to be regulars, and one played some great tunes on the jukebox. The place picked up after 6:30 and was actually pretty busy when I left. \n\nI'd definitely go back and try this place again. Great neighborhood feel. Reasonably priced. Creative and flexible chefs. We ordered the following:\n\ncheeseburger; cooked perfectly and piled high with lettuce, tomato, and onions. Came with fresh cut fries.\nRoasted chicken; HUGE portion of juicy, seasoned chicken served with side salad (potatoes are default)\nSalmon salad; nice bed of lettuce/standard salad veggies, fresh tomato vinagarette dressing, and (mediocre) salmon fillet. The fillet was a bit dry and pretty small (especially next to burger and chicken).\nGreek pizza sans cheese; delicious seasoned pizza dough covered with a colorful quilt of spinach, onions, sauteed mushrooms, garlic, and kalamata olives. \nWe also ordered the mussels appetizer which was a strong 7 out of 10 in my experience of ordering mussels at a restaurant.\n\nThe draft beer selection was surprisingly decent as well.\n\nFYI PARK PLACE PUB does not (as of the time of our visit) serve wine. Order a cold draft instead. The new proprietors of the kitchen have successfully created the most delicious burger I've ever tasted. The burgers consist of different hand ground cuts of free range, hormone free beef. The French fries are double blanched and double fried that guarantees a crisp, yummy fry. The onion rings are cut to order, the tempura batter light and the homemade dipping sauce is perfect. Stop in ask for James (he's one of the new owners of kitchen and the head chef)... Living in the neighborhood, I really, really wanted to like this place! But that's not how things turned out, sadly. I ordered a burger, which was HUGE-- but just really not very good. It did, however, come with a nice, healthy portion of fries, which were fine! The burger didn't make me sick or anything, it just was bland tasting and actually much too big. When I tried to pick it up to take a bite, everything just fell apart in a slippery, greasy mess. My friend ordered the wings, which were actually really good! (And also came in a nice-sized portion)\nLike others have said, the ambiance is lacking. It is pretty bare-bones inside. They have a nice big deck out back but when we asked if we could eat outside, they said the deck was closed. (It was a beautiful July evening-- it seemed crazy not to eat outside!)\n I don't think I'll be back, at least not for dinner. It might not be a bad place to drop in for a drink and wings, but skip the entrees!

I've always passed Murray Avenue Grill, but never decided here for dinner for some reason. So, when it was my decision to pick a nice restaurant for Valentine's Day, I decided on MAG since none of us have tried it. They did not take reservations but the girl on the phone informed me that the wait wasn't too bad, but I could also call when on my way (i forgot! lol) \n\nWe walked in and were told that it'd be a half hour wait for our party of 4. It actually only took 2 minutes because someone left right afterwards. The host was super friendly! Wow, that guy needs to take his friendliness to the next level (serving!) \n\nMAG offered the regular menu as well as a Valentine's Day menu (score!) The V-day menu consisted of entrees of steak w. crabmeat & asparagus, lobster, steak & lobster, ribs or burger & fries. Bobby and I each decided on the steak & lobster. \n\nI know many have already explained, but MAG has GREAT steak! I almost asked the server for steak sauce until I tasted how juicy & flavorful the steak was! The lobster was even better. We've had lobster at another restaurant, but MAG's was flawless (in fact, a man at the table across from us stopped over to ask how good the lobster was) I ordered the steamed veggies as a side & Bobby had the asparagus- which by the way he said was the 2nd best asparagus he's had. (Don't worry, I informed him it's a little weird to have a top 5 asparagus list) Our friends ordered the rib entree & another ordered the burger & fries. All looked delish and everyone said it was a good decision to come here! For dessert, my friend & I split the chocolate cake. Do yourself a favor and choose that as your dessert. It literally knocked our socks off! \n\nSo our v-day dinner was great. The only awkward part was the server. She seemed on the debbie-downer side, which flipping lasted our entire meal. When we asked what was wrong, she said that it was a slow night, partly because no regulars we there. Server Etiquette 101: dont inform new patrons at your restaurant that you miss your regulars.. especially on Valentine's Day when we're about to have a $150 table bill. Part of me wished the happy-go-lucky host could've been promoted at that moment to our server. The food made up for it though! \n\nI'm excited to head back here in the Spring to enjoy the outdoor seating. The burger is good, and the beer is cold. That's really all you need to know. I've ate her about five times and NEVER had a bad meal or bad service. Note that this place is small and fills up quickly. If you go around dinner time on a Friday or Saturday, you may have to wait up to thirty minutes to get a table. Tables can fit a group of four people max. This is one my favorite little places because it has such a neighborhood/family vibe. The menu selection is good, and the beer selection is pretty varied.\n\nLast time I came here, I got the salmon burger, which was better than I expected! It was super moist and the bun didn't get soggy. The red pepper sauce or whatever it was (I can't quite remember) was really perfect for the salmon. I got a side of asparagus...which was limp and not very fresh. Sad because I love asparagus. But that's ok.\n\nMy friend got the beef brisket because I basically forced him. The beef brisket here really is one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had. It is so freaking good. So big. And did I mention so freaking good?\n\nThe fries are almost always over-salted. Such a disappointment because I LOVE THEIR FRIES. Perfect thickness, always crispy, but come on, guys--ease up on the salt please!\n\nContinue being super chill, Murray Ave Grill! I love the Pittsburgh-style salads here (delicious shoestring fries on them), and the service is quite good. There's not a big wine selection by any means, but the 6 - 8 bottles they offer would accommodate a nice range of palates. I'd recommend going for lunch, or going to the late-night happy hour (10 - midnight) and grabbing some sliders on their awesome little pretzel buns. We were really disappointed with this restaurant. We stopped in after browsing around squirrel hill. While the service was good and the staff friendly, the restaurant itself was marginal at best. It had a "dirty" smell upon entering and the food was terrible. I would definitely not return.

Solid Chinese food in the center of downtown Toronto. A great option if you're craving good (though not amazing) Chinese food, and don't want to schlep all the way to Chinatown. Some dishes can be a bit salty, but overall all the dishes were pretty solid. Manchurian Chicken dry is my addiction. I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of times I have ordered this dish is in the hundreds. I'm bordering on an obsession. I was introduced to it by my high school friend back in the late 90s. For years I didn't even know he name of the restaurant, we just called it manchurian. \n\nI like it so much that after my wife and I arrived back in Toronto from a foodie trip to NYC we headed straight to Manchurian. Think about that for a second. After eating tons of insane meals in NYC, we still wanted good old Manchurian Chicken. It definitely can hold its own versus some of the best foods I've had over the years. \n\nThe trick is to order it DRY. Ordering it normally (wet) is ok, but the magic of Manchurian Chicken can only truly be appreciated by getting it dry. I've heard rants about the chilli chicken and I think they are basically the same thing one just has more chilli but who knows. The only way one could figure it out is to order both and that's basically taking space in my belly away from Manchurian so that will never happen.\n\nThe staff is way above average when compared to any basic Chinese restaurant. Some of them are actually pretty funny if you start up a conversation. They are also very quick and attentive. The new decor is great but I was so used to how it looked before that it never bothered me but I can see why they did the renovations. \n\nIf you want a great affordable meal in the downtown core and don't want to go to a fancy or trendy place Yueh Tung is easily the best choice. the restaurant is no more at the address. It took me half hour to find the place\xef\xbc\x8cand when i got there its all empty\xe3\x80\x82 It is closed now. After a 7 course dinner last night, you think I would slow down on my caloric intake and have something "healthy" for lunch.\n\nYeah, right.\n\nDeep fried pork chops with spice and pepper and simple egg fried rice, come to papa!\n\nThe pork chop dish takes a bit longer than others to prepare. But let me tell you, it was worth the wait. Crispy pork with chili and onion, oh man, completely satisfying. I can\'t think of anything else that would compliment the pork chop than a simple fried rice. The smokey flavor from a hot wok and crunchy vegetable pieces, talking about comfort food.\n\nUm, um, um ... good! This restaurant has been around for years and I love it. The waiters and waitresses are super nice and friendly. And the food is amazing!! The cuisine is Hakka Chinese food and my favourite dish is the chili chicken! A little spicy for those that can't take spice but it always satisfies my belly!\n\nI've dined in a couple of times and also had take out and the food is just as good either way. I will definitely be a life time diner here. \n\nThanks Yeuh Tung!

Nice atmosphere but not so nice hot chocolate. I can be a food/drink purist sometimes and I didn't like them using chocolate sauce for my drink. Eww. I would've given Cafe Kopi 3 stars if I hadn't been wowed by their Chicken Noodle Soup (homemade taste, a touch creamy and oh-so-heavenly). But, I think that the place merits future visits based on the fact that they have scotch available for my drinking pleasure.\n\nI didn't like the sneer-y guy taking my order or the poor layout of the place. But if it were less busy, I think it would be decent. Cute little place to study and grab one of their specials (which are usually a large size and less than $3). Definitely a better alternative to Starbucks, and their drinks are better too!\nStudy environment is really homy, with doors on the sides of the walls and really quirky tables and light fixtures. Everyone is either grabbing a coffee/lightly socializing or hard at work, so the environment is perfect for either productivity or relaxing. \nThey have real food here too, so you could definitely spend the entire day here! I am particular about coffee. Stopped here with my family and had a house brew, black. It was the best coffee I have ever had. The flavor was delicious and smooth. I will stop here whenever I am in Champaign. Cafe Kopi is one of the better cafs in town. Loads better than Espresso Royal, Panera, and Starbucks for sure. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could give half-stars.\n\nCafe Kopi buys their coffee from the Columbia Street Roastery and the CSR is an excellent roastery. It is a pleasure to be able to go and get a coffee drink that doesn't taste like the beans were burned. I find their coffee to be robust without being bitter. Their chai is some of the best in town. Their apple cider, however, is stale (store bought, non-local and just heated up from what I can tell) but I guess that's not exactly a hot ticket item.\n\nI have a problem with their pastry case because on MANY occasions there have been multiple flies buzzing around inside the case and landing on all of the food. That is not so tasty to me.\n\nMy personal preference in caf atmospheres is one where each table feels like a cozy and isolated space and I do not find that Kopi's atosphere lends any feeling of coziness or isolation. All of chairs are made of wood, so it may not accomidate the armchair and comfy couch types. Many people go there to be seen and table hop, so I guess it works for most. I prefer the outside tables in the summer as long as the homeless lady doesn't come by and ask for $2.

Really awful sushi. It's just not very fresh and they use instant miso powder. The tempura also comes from a package and is the wrong shade entirely (a sickly white versus golden brown). The salmon tastes really old and they don't even have Ikura. Maybe if you never eat sushi, you might be fooled into thinking this is acceptable, but it would never fly in Tokyo, even in some little suburb like Taito or something. It seems like someone decided that there was more money to be made in sushi than in burgers-n-fries and went into cheap, short-order sushi. A real dissapointment but at least their name tells the truth. Not the nicest decor or surroundings but if you're looking for good, affordable sushi to go then this place hits the spot. I will start this review by saying that I don't eat sushi. I go end up at sushi restaurants from time to time because of people I am with and am glad they have other things on the menu as well. Ikki Sushi was no exception to this.\n\nMy friend ordered her sushi and I ordered beef teriyaki and steamed rice. It was not on the menu, but the waiter was good enough to put it together for me. Which brings me right to my next point, I was able to understand the waiter clearly and he was able to understand me which does not happen too often at a lot of the restaurants I visit. The beef came to the table really fast, followed by the sushi a few minutes later. Me being polite I did not start eating until her food arrived, but the very nice aroma of the beef had me salivating beyond control.\n\nWhen I finally got to taste the food it was very good. One problem that I usually have with sushi places and meat is that they tend to over cook it. The outside piece I ate was nicely cooked. As I got closer to the center of the cutlet of beef it got down to medium rare which actually made me happy. At first I thought they were a little heavy on the sauce, but the amount of rice that I was given and the tastiness of the sauce itself made the amount of sauce very valid. I don't usually get much feedback about the taste of the food from my friend, but she seemed to enjoy the sushi. If she didn't like it I would have definitely heard, so it couldn't have been bad.\n\nIt was definitely not a high-class sushi restaurant, and the prices reflected that as well. It reminded me of many of the sushi restaurants I have been outside the city, but would not pass for acceptable in the core. For a quick bite out in the east end though, not bad. I kinda want to give this place 4, and it might just get there with time! It's kind of humble. This place is our neighborhood sushi place, and we're happy to go back repeatedly. The service is inconsistent, but the people are very nice! Not professional - but very nice. The sushi isn't amazing, but it's fine. What I really love here so far is the udon - it's smallish, but surprisingly rich and delicious. It's the perfect dish for getting over a cold... or a hangover....! \n\nIt's pretty good value too. Fair prices. Not cheap, but... ok.\n\nJust look out for the parking lot. And the weird sponged paint job in primary blue. Both are kinda bumpy and weird. +Fresh good sushi/sashimi\n+Atmosphere is okay feels like Japan so that's always nice\n+Sushi chef is a really nice guy if you get to know him

The latte was excellent - although not really hot enough. The panini was a small round loaf of bread stuffed with prosciutto and some arugula and may - way too much mayo by the way. I always thought panini's were toasted - oh well -that was my fault for not checking. \nThe service however was first class (very polite and professional). \nThe desserts look lovely and if the espresso is as flavorful as the latte - it's a definitely a wonderful euro coffee and desert stop! We have all passed by Caffe Trieste before it was open and always wonder what new retail franchise will be opening up. \n\nWhat is Caffe Trieste you may ask? They are an international chain of four Italian-themed coffee houses plus one retail store which features traditional wood roasted coffee, beautiful food, and cold beverages. Originally founded in San Francisco, California, USA, Caffee Trieste is the first espresso house on the West Cost and the first in Canada.\n\nTo me Caffe Trieste is an upscale luxury version of Starbucks. Yes the two businesses are no where close to each other in the coffee world but one is more luxurious then the other. \n\nWhen you first step into Caffe Trieste (or pass by it) the first thing you'll see is their menu on the left side of the store, read each individual item they have on their menu and you'll want to try it out. There is no coffee aroma, you won't smell like coffee unlike Starbucks and Tim Hortons, but the atmosphere gives you a luxury upscale vibe. The concept of the store is just like Starbucks and Second Cup where it starts off with the register followed by the barista station and an area on the end where you pick up your orders. Across from the barista station, Caffe Trieste has an open refrigerator concept in which you can grab cold beverages or cold desserts freely. They have tiramisu which is actually worth trying! From the pick up location, Caffe Trieste has an indoor patio like deck where you can find a table and a place to sit. It's the same area where the escalator are connecting the 3rd floor to the 4th floor.\n\nCaffe Trieste has two sizes, regular and extra with the extra size being a quarter taller than the regular. Their drinks are amazing as if they have a rich flavour. Their food on the other hand is absolutely mouth watering. I had their Nutella filled croissant and it was actually warm, baked fresh, flakey and crisp. \n\nEver since they have open I became a regular instantly, I tend to visit Caffe Trieste at least 3-4 times a day. Although they don't have a reward program or loyalty like Second Cup and Starbucks, that won't stop me from coming back every single time!\n\nI would strongly recommend Caffe Trieste if you want to try something new.

The espresso and vanilla latte were really good, well crafted and had a nice foam texture to it. It even comes with a chocolate, but the service could use more smile.

An unexpectedly cool place in a Montreal suburb. Good service, nice vibe, and tasty draft beers, unfortunately, the beautifully presented burger did not live up to my hopes. I could not even finish it. Tasted fair at first bite, but three-quarters of the way through, it was no longer pleasant. Had me questioning if what I was eating was really beef. If I returned, I'd steer clear of the burger. (There's a number of them on the menu. I had the house burger: the BarB\xc3\x99.) 2\xc3\xa8me arr\xc3\xaat au Barb\xc3\xb9 et nous avons v\xc3\xa9cu une petite d\xc3\xa9ception! Les entr\xc3\xa9es \xc3\xa9taient plut\xc3\xb4t r\xc3\xa9ussies: le duo de crab cake \xc3\xa9tait savoureux et go\xc3\xbbtait vraiment le crabe (un crit\xc3\xa8re rarement respect\xc3\xa9 au resto!), alors que le ch\xc3\xa8vre chaud \xc3\xa9tait go\xc3\xbbteux mais \xc3\xa9tait beaucoup trop sucr\xc3\xa9 \xc3\xa0 mon avis (pomme cuite + BEAUCOUP de miel + caramel balsamique = trop!). C'est davantage au plat principal que notre exp\xc3\xa9rience nous a d\xc3\xa9\xc3\xa7us. Le duo de tartare (saumon et boeuf) manquait de saveur. Le tartare de boeuf n'\xc3\xa9tait pas relev\xc3\xa9, le tartare de saumon \xc3\xa9tait insipide. La salade d'accompagnement baignait encore une fois dans sa vinaigrette, ce qui la rend impossible \xc3\xa0 manger et les frites sont tr\xc3\xa8s ordinaires (ne go\xc3\xbbtent que le gras, texture s\xc3\xa8che). Pour sa part, le ravioli de cerf aux champignons et \xc3\xa0 l'huile de truffe \xc3\xa9tait beaucoup trop concentr\xc3\xa9 en saveur. J'essayais d'enlever la sauce de mes p\xc3\xa2tes avant de prendre une bouch\xc3\xa9e, ce n'est pas peu dire. Point fort de la soir\xc3\xa9e? Le long island iced tea: cocktail parfaitement bien ex\xc3\xa9cut\xc3\xa9! Go\xc3\xbbt de lime bien pr\xc3\xa9sent, go\xc3\xbbt punch\xc3\xa9, dangereusement bon! On y retourne pour la super terrasse et l'ambiance, et pour essayer leurs plats de style bistro! Premi\xc3\xa8rement, il ne faut pas s\'asseoir au bar parce qu\'on nous ignore chaque fois qu\'il y a "un habitu\xc3\xa9" assis l\xc3\xa0. \xc3\x87a nous est arriv\xc3\xa9 \xc3\xa0 quelques reprises d\'avoir un service m\xc3\xa9diocre \xc3\xa0 cause de \xc3\xa7a, c\'est frustrant. Aux tables, le service est beaucoup mieux, mais c\'est souvent tr\xc3\xa8s long. Bouffe correct mais pas beaucoup d\'options v\xc3\xa9g\xc3\xa9s. Les Bloody Caesar sont excellents. Bonne ambiance. Excellent resto bistro chic. Je ne suis pas un grand fan de hamburger mais c'est certainement un des meilleurs hamburger que j'ai mang\xc3\xa9 (burger au pulled porc et b\xc5\x93uf). Tartare de saumon tr\xc3\xa8s frais et parfaitement assaisonn\xc3\xa9. J'y retourne c'est certain. Wasn't sure where to go with my outta town friend. Decided to turn of and saw this place. Loved the atmosphere! This resto pub has a great selection of food & drinks.\nI had the Casolette of Louisiana shrimp, it was ok, lacked a little flavor, more salt maybe? This was a 12 dollar appetizer, the plate looked pretty but I think totally over priced. It had 5 shrimp on it and a few tastless veggies. Wouldn't recommend it. My Besty had the BARBU burger, which cost the same but was a much better deal! The burger was juicy & big. Fries crispy & salad tasty. \nThere were a couple of things on the menu I'd want to go back to try, like the poutine with duck & lamb gravy.\nThe place is a really hip place with a sweet terrace in the back. The service was great and though my food was lack luster, I do look forward to them proving me wrong:)

This is the first bad experience I have had with Linger Longer. I got home late from work and decided to order a pizza from linger through Postmates. The pizza looked fantastic but when I went to pick up a slice it was dripping grease and there was literally a puddle in the box. I couldn't taste anything other than the oil. I ended up tossing the entire thing out. Waste of 20 bucks. Do yourself a favor and avoid the pizza. This place has solid 3.5 star food, though admittedly we have been 3 times and always ordered the same thing. Partly because it's good, and partly because there aren't a whole lot of other things on the menu that appeal to my veggie/health conscious palette. Service, however, is always top notch. The bartenders are friendly and the scene is laid back with a few tables outside for when the weather is nice and games (jenga, skee ball) to entertain a group. \n\n- Drinks on tap are a great way to start- both the negroni and manhattan style drinks are fantastic. \n- I'm a big fan of the brussel sprout salad ($11), too. A BIG pile of roasted sprouts with dried cranberries, goat cheese, sliced almonds, bacon, and lemon zest. The salt and crunch of the bacon crumbles is really good, but be warned- they are generous with the bacon. \n- The 8-channel mixer pizza ($12) comes with 8 toppings (eggplant, fennel, goat cheese, corn, red peppers, garlic, spinach, olive oil) piled on a crust that is fine, though not really exciting. \n\nNot necessarily a place I'd become a regular, but would definitely return, especially on Tuesdays when their cocktails on tap are a steal at $5 each. Oh boy did I Linger Longer here!! I am a huge fan of Little Woodies and just as big of a fan of this place! I went to the old 16th St. bar and the bar made no sense with the two rooms, but this concept was perfect for this location. The main bar is a dark intimate bar with high booths and hightops making it easy to have either small personable gathering to being a part of the general population at the bar. Speaking of the bar, these bartenders know what the hell they're doing and it's worth bellying up at this place. The bar top is one of the coolest I've seen and the bartenders are friendly and personable. Wow, what an improvement on 16th st. The old pool room is now the game room. Skeeball (lost), darts (won), foosball (won) and shuffleboard (didn't play). Shit, what the hell is my problem with skeeball?! I can't roll the damn thing straight! Hours of fun and competition, but if you need a break there is seating off to the side or you can hang in the open air patio between the two spots. Linger Longer is on my list of go to bars in the valley! Damn, that list is getting a little long. Great new spot in the Bethany neighborhood. Great games and cocktails, like it's sister bar Little Woody's! Such an awesome find let me start with the $3 dollar happy hour including delicious freaking apps! Loved this place so laid back with a hip vibe and funky music selection

Dinner on Wednesday and ordered 8 inch Sirloin with green beans and baked potato and salad. Service was pleasant but food took long time to arrive. Baked potato was very undercooked and not close to tender or hot. Tony the bartender is a gem! He makes the most incredible drinks ever! Food has always been good. My wife and I always to seem have a rather nice time at this Applebee's. There are quiet a few sub par Applebee's in our area, but this one always exceeds our expectations with their service and quality of food and drinks. Been here a few times. French onion soup is good but never served hot, dinners are luke warm and the dinner plates are hotter than the food. \nBeer is cold, a definite extra star for that Just about the worst local restaurant in Wadsworth these days. Overpriced, bland, burnt, cold food. Took our family here and the waitress and manager seemed like they couldn't care less if we were unhappy about the poor food. We've been coming here since they opened, but do not plan to ever return to this one in the Applebee's chain. The ones in Medina and Montrose are slightly better, but still over-priced. Disappointing.

Mmmm! Came here with my hubby today after eating brunch. We ordered the Nute Waffle ($7.99). These are Liege style waffles. Being from Belgium, I can really appreciate these! It was a good sized waffle cooked to perfection. Sugar chunks, Nutella, and powdered sugar! Absolutely delicious. It was a good experience....the service was very good okay plus, thus 4 stars. One had chicken tenders with waffle, the other a chicken fried steak and eggs, and we shared a Nutella crepe. The entrees were both good and the crepe was very good...tender with not too much Nutella filling...the right amount. Although not exceptional food, certainly tasty enough to return and try other items on the menu. Went here with my girlfriend. She would gove it a 3-star but I would give it a 5-star. She had a fruit crepe and I had a caesar salad. The crepe was a bit cold and the friit was beginning to turn, but it was still enjoyable. My caesar salad was enjoyable. The service and atmosphere was very relaxing and the prices were affordable, 7$ for the salad and 9$ for the crepe.\n\nI would come here again. Made another visit and had the steak and mushroom crepe and vegetarian crepe..AMAZING!!! Service was great and my waitress was very attentive and great personality. We will be back again. Thank you. Really was looking forward to enjoying breakfast with my son here. The restaurant is in a great shopping venue, great location in Tivioli Village and the decor of the establishment is welcoming. I wish I would have positive things to say about the rest of the experience. Had the Chicken Fried Steak and my son had the Chicken Strips and Waffles, I was disappointed to see the chicken strips as well as my chicken fried steak were obviously a pre-portioned frozen items that had been deep fried dressed up a little and served. Food quality was average and I may have caught them on bad day because the service was really bad, so bad that I wrestled with leaving a tip,although I did, felt like I was rewarding the waitress for not providing a level of service that made me feel valued as a customer. Guess it is back to the Omelette House for quality food and excellent service.

Authentic Italian Food. The chef was nice enough to add rissoto to my veal shank. My go to place for Italian food So I have driven by this place a hundred times and didn't know it was there until my girlfriend said we should try it out. I had gnocchi with the cream sauce and my girlfriend agnolotti and we shared some garlic beard with cheese. The gnocchi was just the right texture that I was looking for and the sauce was a great addition. My only issue was that there was too much sauce on the gnocchi, I ran out of beard really quick and had to leave a lot behind. The place isn't that large so it can fill up quickly on busy nights. \n\nWarning they don't do free refills on sodas so if you order more than one you will pay $2.50 for each. A perfect Italian dinner and ambiance. I had a wonderful minestrone soup and veal parmagiana - perfectly prepared. It is a small dining room, like the small neighbourhood restaurants in Italy - and the food is just as good. And because it was my first visit the chef treated me to a free desert. \n\nI wish I could keep it a secret but alas, it is already well known. Go early and go often - I know that I will. Although a very tiny place, so be sure to make reservations the food here is superb! So many choices of menu items and everything we have had here is great. We have recommended to a number of friends and everyone loves it! Streetsville dining at its best! A poor introduction. I go in at 11:45 AM on a Wednesday morning. There are three customers. The waitress wants to seat me at a little table facing the back wall of the narrow little room. I ask if I can instead sit at a little table that faces out on the other side of the room. The waitress reluctantly agrees. But then she gets into a long and loud argument with the chef and disappears into the kitchen to argue more intensely. At that point I decide that it is unlikely that I will enjoy a pleasant and relaxing lunch there and leave. Some folks probably shouldn't be in the restaurant business.

I enjoyed my Huge slice of Pepperoni Pizza for $5 a slice. I was thinking hmmmm.... for $5/slice I could get a small pizza, but not here! The slice of pizza was basically like a small pizza and totally worth the price. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The ambiance is very eclectic and perfect for the NoDa artsy laid back scene. Most pizza places give you huge slices of dough where they skimp out on the toppings but not here! The dough wasn't thick and the sauce to toppings ratio (if that's really a thing lol) was perfect. Buen Provecho! Mama Ragu signing Out! Peace Pizza is excellent, and their prices are even better!\nYou definitely get a good bang for your buck at this place. One slice of pizza is more than you can even eat. The reason I\'m giving 1 star is because we\'ve sat for 30 mins TWO separate times, just to be told our "ticket was lost". We were the ONLY guest in the establishment! No one came in until 5 mins later.... ALL of which (4 tables) got there food BEFORE us. I\'m over Benny\'s. I gave another chance & came back despite being aggravated from the FIRST time! They are NOT sanitary! The workers drink BEER in the back room while making pizza! The pizza is good but this is unacceptable Benny\'s. Also, was very disrespected by "Doc" the man who worked the front today 11-8-2018 when I was there between 5PM-8PM (can\'t remember the timing). He was VERY rude from the start when I asked him what was on a pizza, he looked at me like I was stupid while giving me my answer! Also saying "whatever" to the things we genuinely had questions about & arguing with us on things we addressed from a previous visit. ARGUING & having attitudes with a customer isn\'t very work professional man. Morgan the manager made sure he addressed the issue with us, gave us a free slice card, & promised he\'d fix things so thank you to him he calmed me down a bit. I\'m just very upset with my visit more than anything from being disrespected than the wait AGAIN for my pizza. What can I say about Benny's that hasn't already been said?\n\nIt gets the job done when you want a big ass piece of pizza after a long night of drinking. I've had Benny's in Blacksburg, VA and I've had it in Charlotte. Pretty much the same thing!\n\nPrices are fair and the pizza is good. Could the place be a little cleaner? Sure. Could the staff be a little more courteous? I guess so. But Benny's is what it is and if you don't like it, you can always order delivery from somewhere else.\n\nDon't ever change, Benny's. So the pizza was awesome, as expected. Massive New York style slices which you fold in half and eat like you're back in the city.\n\nThe potheads who work there, however, could use a little more attention to detail. They had to do our slices a few times before producing one that wasn't messed up. Nothing against the extracurricular activities, just maybe a little less before serving me my lunch would make the whole process easier. ;)\n\nOverall, it was delicious, and they have an awesome beer selection too. Literally all they are is a pizza joint, and I think they should keep it that way. While I do love salads, etc with my pizza, sometimes simplicity is bliss. :)

Stoped in for lunch following church. I had sweet and sour chicken,salad, egg roll and a fortune cookie. All for $7.00,a terriffic deal. Place was spotless. Server was great and entertaining. Food was fresh and very tasty. I loved the salad. All was a little lighter (tasting) and sweeter,pleasantly surprised. No MSGs.Wonderful place.\nRight next Ace on Bell rd. In Surprise. Just moved here and while shopping at bed bath and beyond I asked the sales clerk where I can get some yummy Chinese food. She recommended Golden Wei. So hungry from all our running around, trying to get our new home in order, we stopped in for a to go order, got home to eat the Chinese food that we were so psyched to get and complete disappointment engulfed us. We ordered Mongolian Beef, Hunan Chicken, combo fried rice and pork egg fu Yung. What a joke! All the meat was the same color (never seen white beef before!) And it all tasted the same. Completely bland and at one point I had to spit out the foul taste in my mouth... So disappointed and now am hoping I do not get sick off this, who knows what the hell it was, food I just consumed. So grossed out that it was something rodent type that I am gagging as I write this! On a good note the wrapped fortune cookies tasted just fine! Wished I would have ordered 4 dozen of these instead of the crap I ate. So disgusting! The one star was for the cookie. The food was really good the atmosphere was great and the the service to I ate my fill Family run business. Meal presentation was so-so. Hot and Sour soup was not good. Entrees were average. Owner was very loud on phone when taking to go orders. $20 minimum order. Didn't even get to place my order since my total would have only been about $10 since it's just me. Maybe next time when I have the whole family home we will try to go there!

Notion was amazing on my tastebuds. I was expecting something spectacular, and I got it. It works like this. There is a 4 tasting menu for 65 and there is a 6 tasting menu for 85. I have to admit, the big draw for this place on this price point, is the fact that it is BYOB. If it wasn't, this would be a bit too rich for my blood. That being being, from the moment we walked in, we were treated like a King and Queen. The service was impeccable, they explained everything that we were eating. They brought a decanter for our wine as well (HUGE PLUS), and refilled our wines as we drank. We had an amazing time. \n\nThe only reason I gave this place 4 stars is because I disagreed with their 6th course. We went for the 6 courses, and on the 5th course (which was dessert) we thought it was the 6th and we ate the whole dessert, they then brought out the 6th course which was another dessert! Two desserts is wayyyy too much. Especially at the richness of the courses. I would have MUCH rather had a second meat course. It just seemed a bit off to me. If they fixed that, this place would be near perfect! We had the six course chef\'s tasting menu. All six courses were fantastic; probably the most inventive dishes I\'ve had in Pittsburgh. Three amuse bouche were included which were strong as well.\n\nHighlights were a Korean-influenced tartare with bulgogi and peanuts served in a tomato gel; various flavor combinations would take precedence with each bite making it a joy to eat. The "cheesecake" with fig and holy basil was fantastically intense and unique.\n\nThe wine pairings were excellent and all appropriate to the dishes. All dishes and pairings were explained well, which was particularly helpful considering the complex flavors.\n\nA fantastic experience and one I look forward to repeating! I had heard so many good things about notion. But I was not prepared for how fancy pants it is! I\'d have to say this is maybe the fanciest place I\'ve been to before. And I\'m not just talking about the interior. I\'m talkin\' bout the whole package!\n\nFor $65 you receive four courses. You get to pick between three different items between every course. It\'s really a nice mix of food and my eyes went straight to certain picks. But what I didn\'t realize was that we got what I\'ll call the "bonus rounds." I wish I could describe to you all of the bonus rounds, I\'ll leave you with the surprise. Let\'s just say they were all incredibly unique and a fun little treat (and I can\'t describe them for the life of me, so there\'s that). \n\nHere were my dish picks:\nBeet with blueberries, hibiscus, creme fraiche\nScallops imitating gnocchi with peppermint, parmesan broth\nTenderloin with burnt onion, thinly sliced portabella and hazlenut\nMilk Chocolate Nutella Cake, orange and banana pudding\n\nI will first say I loved all the sauces they add to the dish right in front of you! I love a good sauce and the added bonus was watching them compliment the dish with the pairing sauce (see, fancy!). I thought the beets were great. I was a bit disappointed with the scallops, as I felt it could have used a bit more flavor. I loved the tenderloin though! They don\'t even ask you how you want it cooked, it just comes out medium rare, like it should be cooked all the time! I also really enjoyed the dessert. I loved the little bits of banana pudding mixed with the Nutella cake.\n\nAll the plates were small, but I was full by the time I was done. Not stuffed, but totally satisfied. And I lied, one of the bonus rounds was chocolate truffles, chocolate sticks and chocolate wafers. I was totally into this bonus round and even may have finished off others truffles. Oops. \n\nBut dining here is an experience. It\'s not just a dinner out. The way the wait staff caters to your every need, describes every single dish to you as it comes out and replaced every single napkin if you get up. Now THAT is a good waitstaff!\n\nNo corkage fee, but they\'re getting ready to get a liquor license so BYOB will be coming to an end soon. I imagine the cocktails will be just as inventive as the food!\n\nIt\'s hard to put too much of the dinner into words, you just have to go for yourself! Disclaimer: This review is based on notion's soft opening.\n\nThank the blogosphere that I caught wind that notion was having a donation only soft launch. I decided to surprise the fiancee and whisk her over to East Liberty one day after work for what I hoped would be a unique experience... notion definitely didn't disappoint.\n\nEliminating any inconsistencies from the rating (can't really ding a new restaurant on that), our server did a great job explaining the four course meal with wine pairings plus the bonus two complements of the chef. Every plate was well artistic, well presented, and complex yet refined relative to the ingredients, which are the true star of the show here. Notion ever so slightly transforms their ingredients to meld into something that overall satisfies the palate.\n\nAlas, that is also what prevents me from giving notion a 5-star review. Although ALL of the dishes were pleasant to eat and I would order again, NONE of them managed to blow my socks off nor leave me craving for more. At the end of the day, we donated an amount close to what the meal would of cost anyways (we thought it was worth it), but I wouldn't find myself ever proactively seeking notion out again. The food was incredible, the service was reasonable, but the ambiance was a bit lacking considering the price point. Tables are very close together and we were seated right next to a party of 4 who were having a conversation at a reasonable volume, but when that's only 1 foot away, it's hard not to be distracted. I wasn't crazy about the soda amuse and I thought my duck paled in comparison to my companions' steak (to die for), but in general the food was of excellent quality and very innovative. I realize they're going for an intimate feel here but I think they need to have a larger space for the number of tables, or have some better way of dividing the space so you're dining on top of each other.

At the recommendation of another Yelper, I decided to check out this newest location of Three Amigos. For anyone looking for it, It is directly across the street from the Historic Rosedale Plantation. I don't remember what was in this space immediately before but judging by the sign as I exited the door it used to be an Arby's at some point. \n\nThis is a much larger space than the original location. They have a small bar and plenty of seating. it was sad that I was the only customer there during my visit except for someone picking up something to go.\n\nThe menu is the same as the other locations. My problem lately with most Mexican places in this town is that the vegetarian options are very limited. So I opted to eat meat this occasion and went with the enchiladas rojas.\n\nWhile I was waiting, I was enjoying a good craft milk stout from Left Hand brewery and my complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were good and the regular salsa was flavorful but mild. I asked my server for the hot green salsa that always packs a nice flavorful punch and I was not disappointed.\n\nThe roja sauce on the enchiladas was wonderful - so flavorful and spicy! The chicken was tough and chewy like it was sitting around for a while so I was a bit disappointed. It also came with a nice salad on top as well as the usual beans and rice. Nothing to write home about with either of those...just typical of what you would find in a Mexican place.\n\nSo I am not quite as impressed with my first visit here as some of my Yelp friends but the service was good - Being the only customer, I guess it had to be. But I enjoy what Three Amigos does and I will probably return sometime in the future. And with that, another Three Amigos - perhaps the last, if you believe Dalton - is now open, this one in Noda.\n\nIt is almost impossible to capture the essence of something and recreate it elsewhere. Nothing else can ever equate to that hole-in-the-wall charm, or make you feel the way when you first had your meal there. This location is also different from the much more sanitized version in Highland Creek.\n\nInstead we have a converted Arby's (you can tell by the sign that remains on the door, inviting you to return on your next visit), but what is inside is like an improved version of the Central Avenue location - larger and still intimate. A most excellent bar and even a private room for parties that need it, without the suburban feel of Highland Creek. Nicely done.\n\nThe food is like that of the Central Avenue location, with only a couple noticeable differences - a monstrous bottle of Mexican Coke (presumably because you can find them everywhere, 3A needs to stay a step ahead by offering the larger size) and the same great chips seem to be just a tad thinner than they normally are, breaking more easily.\n\nOther than that, if you know Three Amigos, you'll be comfortable here with some of the best Mexican food in Charlotte. Even the menus are the same, and all-you-can eat enchiladas are on Thursday. Hurry in to get your name on the wall before the target is out of reach.\n\nWhat's more, the staff is as friendly as ever - perhaps even more so - making it well worth a visit. Awesome! So glad they opened up over here. Good and service are very good. Attentive but not pesky servers. We're going back! Welcome to the hood Day one fan of Three Amigos, so congrats on their new location! \n\nPoprock Tonya & I checked on the new digs last night & we had a blast.\n\nWhile the space is small, much like the Central location, the staff are just as friendly & efficient. \n\nI had ground beef tacos (that cilantro & onion - owwww!) & a small margarita. The chips & salsa were on point, like always! \n\nParking is decent & prices are affordable. Authentic Mexican. Good flavor and large portions. The location leaves something to be desired, but the food was good at a great price (used a yelp deal)

I recently stayed at the AC hotel that Eno resides in. \nWhat an amazing hotel bar! The view of the Capitol is incredible from the huge windows that make up bar side. \n\nThey also have two separate outdoor patios. One on the 10th floor where the main restaurant is, and one down on the 9th floor. \n\nI tried the gnocchi and tacos. Both of which were well prepared with good flavor. They were on the small plate menu, but either would work by themselves for a light eater. \n\nThe bar is where this place shines though. They have over 400 bottles on their wine list, and the make excellent craft cocktails. They whipped up one of the best Old Fashioned I've ever had. \n\nIf it's busy upstairs try the smaller downstairs space on 9 as a tip. I'll definitely visit anytime I'm in town. Dined here the evening of May 31st. Eno Vino has consistently great food although I've only ever tried about 1/6 of their menu since they have a lot of options. Their crostinis for their cheese board need a little olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper over them before they're baked. Overall I would give their food a 3.5 star rating (I don't give 4-5 star ratings often). Go to Field Table on the square for 5 star food. \nThe wine selection is wonderful and servers are very prompt in giving tastes of wine before choosing a glass. \nThe five star review I'm giving is for my wonderful server Nathan who knocked the full dinner service out of the park!! WAY TO TO NATHAN! Before we paid I asked him if we could finish our drinks on the outside patio. He continued to keep an eye on us out there and, even though we were out of his jurisdiction of table coverage, he continues our service and brought us two espresso dessert martinis which are fantastic! \n\nWell done to management. Keep up the good work, Nathan. \n\n\n-Dodge Connelly My partner and I made reservations here for dinner on a Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. Since I do not live in town, we chose this location based on a recommendation from some friends who had recently been there and said the drinks were good. The restaurant is located in the Marriott, and has its own elevator that goes directly to the restaurant on the left of the main elevators and the front desk. \n\nIn truth I'd like to give Eno Vino 3.5 stars, because I do hate that my experience was soured by a rude hostess, but as we were there for a special occasion, which was mentioned in the reservation as well as by the hostess in question and our waiter, and the hype surrounding this place, I stand by three stars. We were seated at a four top table, on the far side from the window. When I requested if we could sit next to the window, or perhaps a bit closer, the hostess informed us that those were reserved for reservations that specifically requested it in their reservation, despite the reservation system specifically stating that they cannot guarantee window seating. I mentioned that there was no indication of that in the reservation system and she just sort of...looked at me? Stared down until we just sat and never even explained the reasoning. Three two top window seats remained available throughout the hour and a half of our meal. It was a super disappointing start to what should have been a great meal. When our waiter came over and started to mention that we were celebrating, I declined and stated that I did not want to celebrate there, and to his credit he was very kind about it.\n\nThe food was great. Nothing mind blowing, but it all tasted very good. The plates are perfectly sized to share with one other person, and between the two of us we shared five plates and each had a cocktail. My favorites were the Sea Bass and Scallops and the Foie Gras Duo, both of which really made the usually mild flavors of the ingredients shine. We also opted for the Chef's Special of the night, which was a short rib wonton. The idea of a rotating plate that's specially designed every so often is one of my favorite things they provide. I really loved the Espresso Martini, and the balance of flavors it provided. At the end of the meal, our waiter did come back and say that he knew we declined to celebrate that evening, but indicated that he was aware it was a birthday since he had checked our IDs for drinks; he offered dessert on the house if we wanted, which at least ended dinner on a better note.\n\nOverall, I do think it's a little overrated. Obviously the view of the Capital is really nice, and the food is good, but as far as price aligning with service, I only get to visit Madison every other month, and there are other restaurants in the area that I'd be more willing to return to. After attending a private party my partner and I were interested in dining. When we talked to the hostess we were informed that dining was based on a reservation system and they were booked for over an hour. We ended up eating at the bar with a view of the dinning room there were empty tables in the dining room the entire time we were there. I have lived in Madison my entire life and have never had such unwelcoming and dismissive treatment. Not a good business model Very impressed! Our first visit.\nView is spectacular from the 10th floor of AC Hotel!\nOur server, Nick, could not have been more helpful. The calamari fries wete a generous portion, perfectly breaded and pleasantly spicy with a terrific house tomato sauce. The sausage/mushroom flatbread was equally pleasing and some came home with us-bonus!\nImpressive wine list (of course). Our first visit...not our last.

Stopped in for some baklava for my wife. The place was clean and tidy. I also ordered a gyros sandwich. Food was really good and I'd like to try other things on the menu. A friend introduced me to this small Middle Eastern mom & pops restaurant, they have a variety of authentic Middle Eastern dishes, however, today I decided to eat my dessert first. They had a variety of ice creams, I tried most of their samples. All were creamy and yummy. Raspberry and chocolate stood out the most to my palate. I wanted to see what else they had and decided to come back to the ice cream after my meal. \n\nEverything they had on display for the baked desserts looked mouth watering! I got the crunchy orange noodle squares with the sweet cheese baked underneath. Wow, woweee!!! It was sweet and crunchy and cheesy with crunchy pistachios for garnish- pure deliciousness! I also tried the baklava, however, this was not just regular baklava, it also had sweet cheese baked on the inside! I should have stopped there, instead I decided to forge on.\n\nFor dinner, I got a vegetarian platter which included 3 falafel balls, hummus, a small salad, and baba ganoush with a side of pita bread It was delicious and very filling as well. \n\nI polished my meal off with a Pineapple Fanta. Now time to go into my food coma. Luckily this was my second and last meal of the day. I'm done. I can't wait to go back and have more desserts!! Starting with ice cream first this time! Amazing food & great service. I used palms restaurant to cater my event for about 80 people and the food was fresh, hot and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. I was looking for something different for a work lunch meeting- bored with the same old sandwiches and chips. I have picky eaters, meat lovers, and vegetarians to satisfy. I came across this place and ordered a family feast which came with a huge variety of veg items, salad, two kinds of rice, gyro meat, kefta kabobs, chicken and beef shawarma, pita, and falafel. Wow, everyone loved this food. I have to say it is the best falafel I've ever had, and the other vegetarians said the same thing. The meat eaters said the gyro meat was the best they've ever had. They certainly did not skimp on portions either! Along with delicious Mediterranean food there is also a bakery attached with a huge assortment of baklava and some beautiful cakes. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone! A GREAT find!!! I was excited to try out this restaurant, and I hate leaving bad reviews, but I was extremely disappointed with my dinner, especially given the stellar ratings it had so far. Much less food than I'd expected for the price. The kufta was extremely bland and very dry... so little flavor that the lettuce in the sandwich completely overpowered the kufta.

Excellent food. Excellent delivery service. Pricing is very reasonable and the portions are big. Would highly recommend this place. \nThx \nDR MD I\'ve only ever had delivery from China Chef. There\'s not many options for delivery food in Streetsboro, either this Chinese or Pizza. The food is ok, it won\'t blow you away or anything. The dishes are a little on the "slimey" side. I\'d give them a 2.5 if I could. And there is not many delivery options I\'ll be using them again. This is my goto Chinese food place since moving to northeast Ohio. They make things exactly how I ask and how I like it. They make it quick and they make it right. Favorites are the house lo mein and the crab rangoon. Very good, flavorful Chinese food at a cheap price.\n\nI'm fairly picky about my sesame chicken. I loved my neighborhood place in New York City when I was young and have struggled at times to find comparable sesame chicken, with the right sweet, thick sauce to truly satisfy. Joy Yee's in Evanston, IL, did it. So did China Chef. \n\nThe cashew chicken was also quite good. The fried rice was superb -- delightfully moist and flavorful. The egg roll was nice too -- perfectly crisped. The hot and sour soup was quite good.\n\nBut ultimately what stood out was the wonderful sweet sauce of the sesame chicken. And, of course, the incredibly cheap price: $20 for egg rolls, two chicken dishes and a large soup! My girlfriend and fellow food adventurer, Crystal, was out of town and I couldn't find any food that sounded too appealing at the time. Given that she is not a big fan of Chinese food and I could eat it pretty much any time, I decided to take this opportunity to try out China Chef. I ordered 5 items to go:\n\n---\n\nHot and sour soup - When I get Chinese food, I always order hot and sour soup and base first impressions off this dish. I was pleasantly surprised by this soup at China Chef. There was plenty of meat in the soup, and the taste was great without any need to add any soy sauce to keep it from being too bland (as with many Chinese restaurants). Along with water chestnuts, I was surprised to see peas and carrots in the soup, similar to those you find in many super-generic Chinese restaurants' bright yellow fried rice. I wish the soup was a touch spicier, but then again, I have a high tolerance for heat and it was nothing a touch of sambal oelek from my refrigerator couldn't solve.\n\nFried wontons - Some background: I just moved to the Cleveland area from Indianapolis, Indiana, and my favorite Chinese restaurant near my home there has some great fried wontons. They were cheap and packed full of a delicious pork filling. Although they are a touch more in price than their counterparts at China Chef, I was hoping for something similar, but I was wrong. The ratio of filling-to-wrapper at China Chef is way off; it took me 3 pieces before I realized I was eating something other than just the fried wonton dough/wrapper. Nestled deep in the fried dough, I found a small piece of Chinese barbecued pork, about the size of an average marble. This being said, the fried wontons were still pretty good for the price, but they definitely need to be eaten with soup or the included sweet and sour sauce.\n\nGovernor's pork - I assume this is China Chef's version of General Tso's, only with chicken instead of pork. I did not recall ever seeing a pork variety of General Tso's on a menu and I am a big fan of pork dishes, so I figured I would give it a try. When I got home and opened the typical white to-go carton, I was surprised to see the pork was encased in a fluffier batter that is more typical of sweet & sour chicken than General Tso's. The pork was still very tasty, although a couple of pieces were very, very fatty (and I typically put up with a bit of fat on meat). Also, there were only a couple pieces of broccoli, even in comparison to the small amount of vegetables that typically come with General Tso's.\n\nFried rice - As with most Chinese restaurants, steamed rice comes with many dishes, and I opted to sub in fried rice with my Governor's Pork. I do not recall if this substitution came with additional cost. In any case, I was pleasantly surprised by the fried rice. Given the peas and carrot pieces in the hot and sour soup, I was fearing your typical bright yellow fried rice. What I found was surprisingly dark but very tasty. I was also happy to see that there were plenty of bean sprouts in the rice, but no peas or carrot chunks.\n\nChicken lo mein - Another surprise here--the lo mein was very light in color compared to the lo mein with which I am familiar. You typically see lo mein that is caramel in color, but this lo mein was yellow (although not a bright almost-neon color like the generic fried rice of most Chinese restaurants mentioned above). In addition, it came with pea pods, baby corn, and more bean sprouts. The chicken was super velvety and not doused in soy sauce. This was probably my favorite sampling.\n\n---\n\nOverall, the food was pretty good with quite a few nice surprises in terms of ingredients. China Chef does not have a lot in terms of ambiance, so this is definitely not a place to take a date. I believe were 3 booths that could seat 4 each, and one chair under a smaller flat-panel television. It looked like everyone else was waiting on to-go orders, and each order was served very quickly. There was a vending machine for soda, and I have a feeling that waitstaff would have came to the table, should I have chosen to eat in. The woman who took my order was also very friendly, and the food was hot and packaged up quickly.\n\nAll in all, I will likely go back to China Chef from time to time, given its proximity to my current apartment (it is currently the closest place to get food, aside from KFC). I am planning on moving to a different part of the near-Cleveland area once I sell my house back in Indianapolis, and assuming I find another place with decent Chinese food nearby, I don't think I would travel back to Streetsboro just to visit China Chef. For now though, China Chef is my choice for good Chinese food in the Streetsboro area.

Bon snackbar! Tr\xc3\xa8s \xc3\xa9conomique. Bon choix au menu. Terrasse sur la rue Mont Royal et fen\xc3\xaatre ouvrable sur toute la fa\xc3\xa7ade. Mobilier tr\xc3\xa8s simple. Les mets sont tr\xc3\xa8s bon. I was really surprised to see the negative reviews here, because I thought M. Burrito's food was excellent. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in Montreal, and comparable to a few great Mexican meals I just had on the US west coast.\n\nMy chicken burrito was delicious, with fresh, moist chicken, green peppers, onions, and refried beans. Such a great depth of flavour. It's not the overstuffed Mission-style burrito typically found in Montreal, but a more traditional northern Mexican one, so maybe that's why some weren't into it. My gf was just as impressed with her vegetarian burrito. And we were given some chips and delicious salsa by the friendly women working there while we waited for our takeout order, which was a nice touch. \n\nWe both loved this place and can't wait to frequent it in the future. Voici un restaurant/snack Mexicain qui fait sa job. Nous avons pris plusieurs plats que nous avons partag\xc3\xa9s. C\'\xc3\xa9tait bon mais sans plus. \nNous avons pris des enchiladas rojas, un burrosaurio (sorte de burritos g\xc3\xa9ant de 18 pouces) et des nachos. \nLe service n\'\xc3\xa9tait par contre vraiment pas \xc3\xa0 la hauteur. Nous avons vu la serveuse quand nous sommes arriv\xc3\xa9s; quand nous avons command\xc3\xa9s, et quand elle nous apport\xc3\xa9 nos plats. Et......c\'est tout. Pas de remplissage de verre d\'eau, pas de "\xc3\xa7a va bien ici". Nous nous sommes lev\xc3\xa9s pour avoir la facture car elle \xc3\xa9tait certainement trop occup\xc3\xa9e \xc3\xa0 jouer sur son smart phone. \nDommage. Car ce petit resto sans pr\xc3\xa9tention peu d\xc3\xa9panner en cas de groooosse envie de Mexicain. This was the worst meal we have ever had.\n\nThe food was clearly microwaved. It literally took under five minutes to get our food... we were sketched. It takes longer to make Kraft Dinner...\n\nThere was nothing fresh and exciting about our plates. The complimentary tortilla and salsa: stale chips and orange, flavourless, watery salsa!? \n\nBecause the business is called "M. Burrito", we thought a safe bet would be to get a burrito. We were so disappointed and spent the meal giggling. At least we didn\'t have to spend much (8$ each). We had a beef burrito; beef was not seasoned, weirdly chewy and grey; watery refried beans; mushy green pepper and onions. That\'s it. The vegetarian burrito we also had was the same (minus beef) with some stringy mozza or something. Little sides of rice appeared to be Minute Rice... No salad, no fresh veggies.\n\nWe were curious: were the other patrons as disappointed as we were? The two ladies behind us left with great compliments for the waitress (what??); the guy from the couple beside us was licking his bowl and spoon of refried beans (really??). Super confused.\n\nThe service was good. They were pretty attentive. But we really, really hope they work on the food. We have honestly no idea how Mexican/Tex-Mex can taste so bland. \n\nFinal words: Do not recommend. \n\nDoubt this place will last long on such a popular avenue, where there are so many other better options. Tacos al pastor without pineapple, I asked the waitress and the answer was: it's all mixed. But I never found them, not even the taste. The margaritas were OK.

Drove to strongsville w Jennifer to get some shoes and went to Yelp for our food options. We finally settled on this after debating the reviews. The look is much like other restaurants with this theme. \n\nThey were fairly steady for a lunch rush. The server was friendly and interacted w is as we had Jenns niece w us. I also love the menu options for a bar. Burgers, sandwich, and the normal bar options. Our appetizer was the pretzels with a bitter dipping sauce that was good and a beer cheese that was also tasty our so we thought.more on this later.\n\nI got a pretzel chicken with a mustard Ina brioche bun. One problem it was chewy, not just any chewy chewbacca chewy. Either it wasn't pounded or cooked properly but it shouldn't crunch when I bite into it. I also want fries not chips with my meals and restaurants that do this annoy me. \n\nJennifer got an Leau sandwich with pineapple and didn't like it. Said it was bland with huge fatty pieces. Overall for the price and bland taste it was below average. I think this place has potential and I like their menu for the price and quantity and presentation is lacking and vanilla. I will try this agin but it will be awhile. \n\nOh yes we thought we like those sauces on those pretzel appetizers. We were driving back to our house and we both had heart burn this symptoms this wouldn't be to concerning except I have never felt that was before. It doesn't happen to Jennifer often either. That is the only common variable we had. Shrugs be careful here If all you're looking for is a nice patio to drink on, this place will do just fine. If you're looking for good food and service as well, this place is likely to disappoint. Been here 6 times now, great looking place. Unfortunately the worse service possible my friends and I have ever received. Bartenders walked passed a group of us at bar on a slow Saturday afternoon didn't even acknowledge us. They did manage to clean the glasses around us from customers who had left but didn't acknowledge us was the biggest problem. We are just looking for a bar to get drinks with service!! I try not to write a review until I have been there more than once, usually 3 times. And having been there several (more than 4) I can say I have never had a bad experience. The staff is always courteous and attentive. The menu offers enough variety that you are afraid you wish you might have ordered something else, but are never disappointed with what you did order when it comes to the table. Overall, great service, reasonable prices and good atmosphere to watch a game. I have been here as well as to the Middleburgh Heights location numerous times. I will start by saying they have changed their menu in the past year and I think it got smaller and lost a lot of great items off of it. The new Strongsville location is huge inside and also has a really large outdoor patio. I will say this is one of the best outdoor patios in Strongsville. \n\nThe food here is alright, nothing out of the ordinary. It's your typical bar food. Where they could use improvement is on the service. It seems like nobody was trained or if so not very well. The food takes a long time from when you order it and it seems like multiple table's orders come out at the same time. This is one of those places you go into knowing what you are getting, but it has the potential to be better.

We two ate there on Sat. night. Food was alright, but the service was below par. Our stressed out older server wasn't very attentive. She seemed stressed out- maybe they were short of servers. There were also two others in the front room.We received appetizers after salads. Had to ask for water refill. Dirty plates sat before us for at least 15 min. Took a long time to receive the bill. She offered to take card with bill, but took a while. I sat in waiting area- server saw me, then asked if we prefer to pay in line. We took the card and paid in line. Didn't know the server takes it to main cashier- paying line was long at this point. The food was good, but not excellent. I guess our only complaint was the particular server. We may try it again. Service was great. Prompt and super friendly. my boyfriend got the chicken piccata. It was pretty good, not as good as mine, but that's one of my specialties. I got chicken parmesan with meat sauce. The meat sauce was probably the worst I've ever had. I've seen reviews comparing it to Chef Boyardee, and I honestly think I like Chef Boyardee better. the chicken was perfectly cooked. It wasn't cooked in the style of chicken parmesan at all. I think it may have been cooked in a slow cooker, and it wasn't breaded, but it was delicious chicken nonetheless once I scraped off the meat sauce and the unrecognizable cheese. Despite the bad reviews and the terrible meat sauce , I would probably give them another try. It's the closest restaurant to my new house and they are always packed. My girlfriend really loves this place....I mean really loves this place. It's a great little Italian restaurant that serves up large portions for a great price.\n\nThe lunch crowd is usually hopping here so try to get here early or late during the lunch hours. It has a good amount of seating though, so the line will move pretty quickly. They have your regular Italian food, so expect all of your favorites here. But the serving sizes here are pretty large & will fill even the hungriest stomach in the room. I'm a big fan of the meat ravioli, along with the lasagna. You really can't go wrong here with any dish as it's all pretty good.\n\nThe prices here are great, with nothing too expensive to where lunch hurts your wallet. It's a great place to grab a great Italian lunch, because who doesn't like Italian. Walking in, you'll think the place may be too nice for lunch, but the decor really doesn't match up too well with the place. Maybe for dinner, the decor fits well, but for lunch it's really just too much.\nBut I like Milano's for lunch, especially when I'm in the mood for great Italian. Back in the 90's I used to think this place was great. I moved away and when I moved back in 2014 I wanted to go to Milano's. I told my BF what great food they had. I was totally disappointed. I agree with the others about it tasting like Chef Boyardee. I even mentioned it when we were eating. I began thinking that maybe it was just that night, so...I went back and was disappointed again. Cross this place off my list of favorites. If you're looking for great italian food and delicious ambiance... go to the grocery store, buy noodles and sauce, cook at home while watching a nice Italian-esque movie because that is better than this restaurant. The server was mediocre, nothing spectacular. The hostesses and other staff were way under par. Hostess wouldn't look up from her cell phone while we set up table, and when she called our name just pointed for us where to go... food was meh like I said... I've made better ravioli and spaghetti in a matter of minutes than the time it took get our watered down excuse for pasta.

Wow what a fabulous meal! The service was amazing, it was just a shame that we were in somewhat of a hurry on our way to see Penn & Teller. The restaurant is in the Rio. I was a lured in by the big black awning with the flashing lights that blinked "Antonio\'s" The acoustics are much better than I expected. They have the high ceilings with the painted clouds but managed to make it feel intimate and cozy. We were seated at a table away from the beautiful open kitchen. There were plenty of cozy booths. Maybe it was because I had low expectations of a generic Italian restaurant experience but I was really blown away by my risotto. \n\nI had the Carnaroli Risotto with Maine Lobster. It was the best risotto I\'ve ever had. It had asparagus with a white truffle cream. It was the perfect consistency for risotto and it was perfectly seasoned.\n\nAntonio\'s is definitely on my list of the 1st places to visit when I make it back to Vegas. MY FAVORITE HIGH CLASS RESTAURANT. I am absolutely obsessed with the 5 Cheese Macaroni dish. It has bleu cheese in it that just makes my mouth melt thinking about it. Great selection of wine also. Fabulous service and comforting atmosphere. I will always stop here when I'm in Las Vegas. Although Antonio's looks a bit unassuming from the outside it is anything but on the inside. I wasn't expecting to dine in such a classy restaurant when we made reservations here. I was thinking it would be like Olive Garden it's in the Rio for Pete's sake, however I was very wrong and very impressed. \n\nThe dinning room is dimly lit, the ceilings are vaulted with crown molding and there are marble columns, a chandelier and a fake sky in the center of the room (it is after all Vegas!) We had a beautifully set table and the ornate armchairs added an extra aire of sophistication to our dinning experience. I did find the booths in the center of the dinning room a bit of an eye sore. Maybe they should do away with those and only have tables.\n\nOur waiter Antonio was the greatest waiter I've ever had. He was the epitome of an exceptional waiter . He was knowledgeable about the food and wine, he properly pronounced the names of the dishes. He was friendly and everything was perfect throughout the course of our meal. He was fairly handsome as well (at least I thought so)\n\nThe bread basket had an assortment of breads, my favorite was the olive roll. Only a few people at our table ordered Antipasti. I almost fainted when I saw the towering creamy onion soup appear in the bread bowl with its provolone crust. I can only imagine what the Lobster Bisque would have been like. The baby spinach and pear salad with with crumbled Gorgonzola and candied orange walnuts also looked good.\n\nWhen we were placing our orders we were asking Antonio about making a slight substitution to a certain dish to accommodate a cheese allergy and he informed us that the chefs would prepare anything we would like any way we would like it even if it's not on the menu. I WAS IN LOVE! Any establishment that is willing to go over and beyond to satisfy patrons gets big points with me.\n\nI tasted my cousin's pan seared scallops with short rib and pancetta raviolis with a sage demi glaze reduction. I WAS IN LOVE! I also tasted my uncle's Ahi (which was one of the evening's specials) I ordered the Fettuccine with Rotisserie Chicken and pancetta and creamy wild mushrooms. The chicken was so delicious I can't recall when I was last impressed by a simple rotisserie chicken. The sauce was so delicious I wanted to marry my food!\n\nI know I'll be back to Antonio's...I can't stop thinking about the Risotto with Lobster with the white truffle Creme, the lobster bisque and of course our waiter Antonio... how funny... I just realized that our waiter at Antonio's was named Antonio! I enjoyed Antonio's and I enjoyed Antonio too ; ) You know there isn't much I can add to this review that Lori K. didn't already write about (please see review below). But I would like to add that my uncle's Lobster Kabobs looked absolutely beautiful and delicious.\nAlso, we ordered their souffle for dessert, which came with a deliciously light cream. And they brought out a ricotta cheesecake for my dad's birthday. He was livid about the candle and the song, but he ate the dessert anyway. Surprise, surprise... Decent little place to have dinner, it wasn't busy at the time we arrived(early) - we didn't have a reservation, and they seated us promptly which was nice.\n\nThe wine list was ok. the pasta (for being pasta - it's really hard to mess up pasta - was delightful) I really liked what ever the bread was that they brought out, and we also split a ceaser that was nice.\n\nThe desserts were amazing, and prolly the highlight of this dining experience.

This spicy Sichuan Chinese restaurant is part of a chain of out of state eateries. Excellent presentations and lots of food and spiciness. The water boiled fish red and yellow are huge and delicious and of best value. If you want it extra spicy, it can be so much that your tongue goes numb with the heat. The pork belly strips are hung and presented uniquely. The chicken wing mix dish is also a good deal and huge. The barbecue fish is also huge and well presented. This place will serve you real-deal Szechuan food. That means big, bold flavors that lean heavily on garlic and chili peppers, and aren\'t afraid of salt and oil. If that scares you, I humbly suggest you (and Donna from Scottsdale) stick with PF Chang\'s and their more "Americanized" offerings.\n\nThe menu is not very detailed, but the servers were really helpful and friendly, and used ipads to show us pictures of the food we asked about. Ultimately, we ordered the Special Sliced Fish in hot Chili Oil, Cold Noodles, and House Special Sliced Chicken. The chicken wasn\'t spicy at all; shredded chicken with cilantro and tiny bit of red chili pepper over a bed of slivered white onion and with a light savory sauce. The Cold Noodles were (I\'m guessing) homemade vermicelli noodles with bean sprouts, garlic and minced chili peppers in a spicy cold broth. This was mild-medium, but nicely spicy. The Sliced Fish in Hot Chili Oil ... wow ... fairly large pieces of lightly coated fish along with bean sprouts, red chilies (and other yummy stuff, but not tomatoes!) adrift in an awesome broth (think really good, rich ramen stock) and a slick of hot chili oil across the surface. This one was hot, and amazing, and probably the dish that will pull me back again and again. Oh, and everything comes with white rice which you can use to moderate the heat impact. \n\nThe building is a little dumpy - my chair broke under me, it was too hot sitting next to the west facing windows, and my diet coke wasn\'t icy cold, but the food was amazing and I\'ll be back.\n\nGet there early or expect to wait. another chinese restaurant hit comes to the valley! dry pots are a great deal and definitely shareable. portions are extremely generous! We tried this place after reading an article from the local paper where the writer gave this place a 4.5 stars. I'm no expert in food writing but I do like to think I know good food. I've had other Szchuan food in other states and around the valley so all I can do is compare this place to my past experience of Szchuan meals. The menu here is truly authentic from the dry pots to the chongqi chicken to the variety of pork belly dishes. You also have the normal dishes everyone is accustomed to with fried rice, kung pao chicken and walnut shrimp. \nHere is a breakdown of my order.\nCold pork belly appetizer - no flavor, the garlic sauce it came with was bland. \nBreaded pork ribs appetizer - the sauteed peanuts, peppers it came with had more flavor. The ribs were too dry and over fried.\nHouse fried rice - flavor was better, I would order this again. Not the soy sauce doused fried rice most Americans are used to which I love.\nWalnut shrimp - breading on the shrimp was too much and the sauce wasn't sweet so it tasted like mayonnaise on breaded shrimp.\nChongqi boneless chicken - DELICIOUS, you must order. Little nuggets of awesomeness.\nChicken dry pot - this is the reason for me returning. A mixture of chicken, pork belly, beef slices and veggies swimming in a hot chili oil sauce. Stomach buster! Let me start with a song..."don\'t believe the hype". Especially a certain someone from azcentral.com. We arrived to zero service and eventually were served water that tasted like lead. We ordered house special bbq fish, pork belly, and house special chicken. All three were served together and then we never saw our waiter again. The chicken dish tasted like every piece was dipped in vegetable oil and tossed on a plate with cilantro sprinkled on it for flavor. Easily one of the worst dishes I have ever tasted in town. The reason I gave an extra star (from 1) was the barbecue fish and the pork belly made up for it. But not enough that I would ever visit again. Lastly, i like BYOB, but no wine opener in the entire joint?

Great food and service. I come here every week and it's the best pizza in Vegas. Always friendly and fast. HOLY STROMBOLI!!! Well, we had a Calzone, BUT WTF IT WAS GREAT!!!!!\n\nPost band practice meal, so we were hungry for junky food. \n20 wings AND our server happy did 4 in a sauce that we just wanted to try.\nA medium calzone, rated to feed 2-3 people... IT WAS HALF A PIZZA!!!\n\nThere about 40 combo specials for pizza, wings, finger fries and more.\nIT IS ALL DELICIOUS!! The dough is garlicy and soft. The sausage is perfect.\n\nIt's a bar and may not be good for kids.\nThe food came out quick and was great.\nThe servers were friendly and extremely helpful. They didn't miss a thing, brought us a pitcher of water and kept the napkins coming.\n\nI will stop in here for TO GO wings in the future.\nAlso, I'll be bringing more people from the studio over.\n\nGREAT JOB!! Gotta try the pizza next time. The pizza was fair but nothing to brag about. There are a lot of pizza places in town that are better. I would not order again. Awesome staff!! Fast service and good food. Alisha is great person. Thanks again!! Stromboli is one the best we've had on the west coast, be sure to try the traditional one as it's our favorite! Pizza was pretty good and the antipasto salad was very generous. Service is always friendly and prompt, and their prices are very fair. Definitely suggest trying them if you're looking for good stromboli and pizza.

What a disappointment. Chicken souvlaki very small and dry, rice watery and potatoes dry. This place could learn a thing or too about good Greek food. Love this place...food is delicious....large portions too. I wish their hours would be longer though. The food is always great & service is friendly. We almost always get the chicken & rice soup and their amazing hummus with pita bread. This restaurant moved into the O'Connor area from the Danforth. Price, portions and tastes were good! This is a great place to eat in the area of O'Connor. We had the fish and chips and a souvlaki dinner! Food was good! Ordered from this place ones and asked for no onion meal as I am allergic to it. When I got it onions were inside. \nToday I went to get lunch (soup and salad with chicken) and again asked for no onion, as I picked up an order I double checked if there's onions and was assured it's not on my salad. But when I opened my lunch sure enough the onion was inside.\nI also got a chicken rise soup that was rather good. Salad was nice seasoned but swimming in the oil. \nI wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

Came in for dinner on my way home with my wife. They had run out of some ingredients but were awesome about it and offered a snack while we waited. Super-friendly staff and the owner was really engaging. Thank you for the treats! \n\nThe burritos are always amazing at this location and the people are always very friendly. I come to this Mucho I would assume no less than once a week and sometimes two or three.\n\nVery good food. Quick service and helpful staf. I always get the exact same burrito and it's gotten to where some of the staff know what I'm getting when I walk in.\n\nThe only complaint I have is that how good your experience is, has a very heavy basis on who makes your burritos. I've had both good and bad burritos from this location purely because some of the staff seem to put more care into it than others. It's the little things like someone going back and adding a bit more rice or a touch more meat because I don't get beans or vegetables on my burrito.\n\nAll and all though, the igredients are always fresh. The building is always clean, the staff is always friendly and quick and far and away the burritos are amazing much more than they're subpar.\n\nAverage burrito: Regular on white with white rice, shredded beef, cheese, sour cream, jalape\xc3\xb1os and burrito sauce. if you are into buritos, this is decent as far as chain stores go. It was tasty, it was hot, but after travelling around all these years its not original, but when you are hungry at least you know what to expect. So it was good, but not unique. I would go back if I'm in the area, but i wouldnt go out of my way for it. decent food, fair price, not exactly exciting but good enough. This location has gone downhill recently. Ordered a veggie burrito bowl. Typically when ordering a veggie, they will ask if you want more veggies to compensate for not having any meat. My veggies were not topped up and I received the same amount as my friend did who ordered their burrito with chicken. There was also minimal rice and the girl who helped us was quite stingy with the rest of the toppings as well. My completed order barely filled half the bowl. Too expensive for too little food. I finished my meal and was still hungry. This place is your typical Canadian burrito chain. You choose what type of dish you want (ie. taco, burrito, quesadilla, salad) and you choose your meat or veggie option, then you choose your toppings. \n\nI decided on a barbacoa burrito. The first thing I noticed was the lack of topping choices. They didn't even have lettuce as an option, I had to make a special request. \n\nSo the good thing is that everything seems pretty fresh but in general the burrito was pretty flavourless. I mean you can't expect too much for a chain burrito place but I have had better chain burritos in my life. \n\nMy burrito got completely soggy and fell apart while I was eating it and in the end I didn't even care that it fell apart because it wasn't that good to begin with. \n\nThe place was clean and the staff was friendly but I think I'll opt for other place next time because the food here was disappointing.
