Restaurent name is: Jardin
review: We stopped here for small bites and drinks after watching the Le Reve - The Dream show, which btw is amazing and I highly recommend it if you're looking for family friendly entertainment in Vegas! The hostess set up us under the heaters in the patio which was so cozy and beautiful. Our waiter was polite and very attentive to our table. We ordered the mac and cheese bites and the buffalo cauliflower which both were delicious. The white sangria was very delicious. Will definitely come back to try their entrees on my next trip to Vegas. The food was excellent. Perfect birthday dinner with the perfect potted flowerpot for dessert. Came back to Vegas about a month ago with my hubs. We always stay at Wynn as it is our favorite hotel in Vegas. After gambling for hours, like it was no one's business, we decided it was time for dinner. \n\nFrom the outside, Jardin is lovely, no doubt. Every time I've walked by in the past, I always commented on how I wanted to try the place out. On this particular night, Saturday, it wasn't busy at all. We were seated immediately, so that was nice. It pretty much went down hill from there. \n\nDrinks: Took forever. The alcohol is one thing, but the water and soda didn't come out until the food came out. My double vodka came first but took as long as it would if the restaurant was actually busy. (Many empty tables.) Server said the bar was backed up. I looked over and there was 1 person sitting at the bar. Yah, really out of control. The server had to bring out a cart full of alcohol for the table next to us. Super dramatic style as if the bartender was swamped af. I laughed, literally. No idea what that was about.\n\nFood: Like I mentioned... took forever. Restaurant 85% empty. I actually ate part of the bread basket which I never do. So long... so hungry. I ordered the salmon. It came with white rice. The rice was hard af. Unedible. Comparable to the rice at the bottom of a cooker that u don't scoop because you know it is blown. I can't believe the chef even plated it. You can tell, visually without even trying it, that it wasn't good. I told the server. He seemed nervous and unsure of himself most of the night. Service should be stellar especially if a restaurant is most empty. They comped my one double vodka which is cool, but I was hungry. :( Salmon was decent, but I have made and had better. I'd expect a whole lot more considering the price is high for what it is. My hubs ordered the ravioli. It was seriously enough for maybe a child. I believe this is why their bread basket has big soft pretzels in it. They try to fill you up with that because they know their proportions are off with taste quality low. I felt bad for him. The plate looked really sad and was over $30, I believe. I understand we could have ordered appetizers and would have if it wasn't for the fact the food was so meh. Even if the plate barely had any food, at least make it amazzzinngggg. Then the price would somewhat make sense. \n\nWould we ever dine here again? No. Just not worth it. Sinatra, at the Encore, is sooooo much better. Also, this restaurant looks to be more popular day time. Wayyy busier. Tables are filled. (Can imagine bartender would be out of his mind.) They also have an outdoor dining area which overlooks the pool. I guess I would come back just to sit in the patio and bask in the ambiance? I guess that deserves 1 star. Never again! I came to Jardin with 4 other ladies on 08/19 during my sister\'s bachelorette weekend in Vegas. We were going to XS later that night and wanted to have a nice dinner before hand. The main reason we chose Jardin is because it is close to the club and beautiful but the service we received was an absolute joke! \n\nOur server came by and said hello and then we didn\'t see her for almost 20 minutes. Meanwhile other servers are hanging around our table noticing us looking for our server and not one of them came to check on us. When our server finally came back she simply said, "Sorry I had to step off the floor". So my first question is why didn\'t you let us know that or send someone to check on us? It\'s not like we went a cheap diner! This place is upscale so the guests should be treated that way. \n\nOur food took FOREVER to come out. I realize it was a Saturday night but again the server never came and checked on us and the restaurant honestly looked like it was dead. Once the food finally arrived we were so disappointed. Luckily we were snacking throughout the day so we only ordered small meals because the food was just alright and the drinks were mediocre as well. The presentation was fabulous but the taste...not so much.\n\nAfter we had finished with our food it took our server another 10 years to finally check on us and my sister in law asked her very nicely for our check and she asked if she could please split them. This server looked at my sister in law and said (with a TON of attitude) "all 5?! Ugh just give me 2 minutes". About 10 minutes laster she returned with checks, slammed them down in front of each of us and said, "thanks" under her breath as she was walking away. \n\nAt this point we were upset and wanted to speak with a manager. I have friends that are servers and I even worked in a restaurant for a short while myself so I completely understand that not every table can be pampered and that splitting checks can be a pain but with that being said this place was not cheap and the service we received was terrible. The manager came over and our server made sure to be very close pretending to do stuff so she could listen in to our complaints. All the manager said was "I\'m sorry for your experience let me get your checks". After another 10 minutes goes by the server (yes, the one we had a bad experience with) came back with our checks and said very sarcastically "I\'m sorry for you bad experience, the manager took $5 off your meals". \n\nWhy would they send the server who we complained about to give us our checks? Also it is nice that the manager took some money off of our meals but honestly $5 off at a place as expensive as Jardin is more of a slap in the face than an apology. We were not looking to get anything discounted or free but we wanted management to know about our experience so hopefully their future guests have a better time and the half hearted apology we received along with the $5 off seemed like they were just trying to get us out the door. Overall I was truly disappointed that our final dinner for my sister\'s bachelorette party was ruined by the horrible service and treatment we received from Jardin, I highly recommend anyone who is considering to eat here to turn the other way. Although the ambience and appearance of this place is fabulous everything else was subpar. Food was dissapointing here, been coming to wynn/encore for many years and I'm used to top notch food from every restaurant here. This was just average, nothing special. First dissapointing dining experience here, out of 50 or 60 that I've had. | american (traditional) | 12,500 |
Restaurent name is: Sandbar Mexican Grill
review: This is my second time to the Sandbar, me and my boyfriend came by to grab a bite to eat. They were having an event there, I called a head of time and the lady who answered the phone told me it was happy hour and told me the times it started and ended but she didn't seem very sure of it. When we got there (about 15mins later, I live near by) it was NOT happy hour. We sat ourselves which was fine but when the waitress finally came she didn't know what specials they had and what some of the menu items were. Maybe she was new? Idk. But being a server myself at one point, I know you're suppose to know what the menu items consist of, at least be able about to tell me how something is or make a recommendation. Nonetheless the food was very good. We ordered Mexican pizza for an app and shrimp tacos and chicken fajita as the meals. Everything came out at the same time. I was upset about that bc the food was kinda cold once we finished the appetizer, but I didn't make a fuss about it. I'd def come back though bc the drinks and food were good and not too pricey and it's close to my house. I've only had margaritas and appetizers here, but I think this place is great! Fun, outdoor patio complete with sand, a pool, and cabanas.\n\nFirst time there we sat outside. Second time we went there because we wanted to sit outside, but the patio was closed for a private party. Bummer. Was nice inside too though. Third time we went at night with friends and I couldn't believe how crowded it was! It's definitely a party place. Our waitress that night was great! Never kept us waiting, despite how crazy it was in there.\n\nMargaritas are good. Chips and salsa are good too....even though they charge for them. The red salsa has a kind of strange taste, but the green is fabulous! Guac is decent....nothing special though.\n\nOverall, this is a fun place to hang out and have a couple drinks. Oh, it\'s ok I suppose. \n\nIt\'s one of those places that promises so much in the way of a great time that one can\'t help but be disappointed. Kinda like a cruise ship.\n\nIt also reminds me of what art critic Robert Hughes said about Las Vegas: "The land of instant riches and perpetual orgasm". \n\nParty party party. Fun fun fun.\n\nAnyway, they have bars and sell drinks and have Mexican food. The waitresses are young and cute.\n\nOh, and I do suspect -- as others here have suggested -- that many of the patrons are not entirely self-actualized and thus are not acting in a state of full existential freedom in attending this place.\n\nIn other words, they tend to be drunk and horny.\n\nIt also can be hard to find a place to park some nights.\n\nAnd no, in fact I didn\'t get laid there, and that fact is probably weighing on this less-than-enthusiastic review. Thanks for asking! Visited here Friday on 10/02 for Happy Hour & had Margarita's and Nachos both were Awesome!!! \n\nThe Margarita's were a little on the small side but packed with power, the nachos best I ever had.\n\nWould not recommend the Strawberry Mojito, to many mint leaves & flavorless. Creeper central. Seriously don't go there when its crowded unless you are OK with getting groped repeatedly. You couldn't pay me to go back. | mexican | 12,501 |
Restaurent name is: Muffin But The Best Cafe
review: Food was so delicious! Service was above average but not the best. We came here for breakfast/lunch and had the stuffed French toast, breakfast on the run with a side hollandaise sauce, buffalo meat, and chicken fried steak, and there were definitely no complaints on food! Well be coming back here next time I'm up here. I had a really bad experience here on Saturday.. On the last childless weekend with my girlfriend I took her here. I ordered steak and eggs. 20 minutes after I placed my order, the dumbfounded waitress said "we haven\'t received our steak order this week, would you like something else?". This is without giving me a menu to look at. I kindly said no thanks. I went to the owner and told her what happened and that I was leaving and she also gave me a dumbfounded look and did not try to rectify the situation. Poor customer service and poor business ownership...very disappointed! Not sure why this place doesn't have a higher average rating, but here's to bumping it up! \n\nI've passed by this place a million times, and I tell you, I wouldn't blame anybody else for doing so. It's in a crappy hole in the wall complex that is old and nasty. But don't let that deter you- Muffin is really a diamond in the rough. \n\nThe owners are from Ohio, and they like to make here what they call Homestyle Gourmet. What does that mean? Almost everything here is made in house. Their bread is, and their muffins (dur) and their cinnamon rolls (TO DIE FOR) as well. But it's home style, and rather country, so don't come in here expecting contemporary chic decor. \n\nThe food is just as described, down home Americana. They have a revolving menu that changes with the seasons, which I appreciate. I remember them setting up a pavilion and having a special menu over Labor Day, almost all of which revolved around elk. That's right, elk. You could choose between an elk burger, elk meatloaf (what I got, and it was fabulous) or elk kabobs. Each plate was ENORMOUS, came with mac and cheese, corn bread, cole slaw, and your own peach cobbler desert complete with ice cream. My stomach's bursting just recalling the meal. And the man that co owns this with his wife was standing outside in 100+ degree heat grilling it all. Now that's love. I did ask if they caught the elk themselves, and the lady boss told me that that's not really feasible due to USDA regulations, though they do hunt their own. They buy the elk in from a ranch in Montana, I think. It's pretty awesome.\n\nAnd that's just the special. My husband usually gets the reuben when he comes in- they corn their own beef, are incredibly generous with it, and again, the bread is fresh baked in house. Stellar. I usually get some kind of breakfast item- I remember asking for my scrambled eggs soft the first time I came in, and they got it perfect. It was great. Their root beer floats are awesome too. \n\nAnd their cinnamon rolls. They deserve a paragraph all their own. Please make sure you leave with one. They're not impressive looking things, all wrapped up in their clingwrap, but nuke these babies right before you eat them and it's like that homely ugly duckling morphed into a stunning swan. Melty and gooey and soft and sweet. They've got a great range of flavors too- I've stopped in to buy some of their giant rolls for potlucks at work and they've got maple bacon, orange cinnamon, banana nut and the breast cancer special (which I do hope they bring back) that was cherry and chocolate. \n\nThey aren't open past lunch, as they're strictly a brunch and breakfast place, but I love that they open ultra early, as it's allowed me to stop by prior to a potluck to pick some up. Definitely a crowd favorite for work! \n\nAnd the owners- awesome, and sweet, and their wait staff are great as well. Definitely go check it out, and not just because Chino Bandido's was too full, either. :P I want to give it more stars, but can't... \n\nIt's a small little diner in a strip mall that houses chino bandido. The name makes me smile, I love the play on words and their muffins are tasty. When you walk in, typically there is only a server and a cook, but it is very small, maybe 20 seats? The decor is atypical old school diner with a bunch of knickknacks, but seems like they also store a bunch of junk at the restaurant and gives a cluttered appearance. \n\nThe food can be delicious; I have enjoyed the chicken fried steak, as well as the muffin but the best Benedict on previous visits and they were amazing although on other occasions the food was just awful. \n\nUnfortunately, there is no consistency. The place is in need of a deep clean and they need to move some of the storage out of view. If you want to try some of their breads and muffins I do recommend, they've been delightful! I like the idea and ma and pa environment but they only occasionally deliver really good food. What a great place! The staff is so hospitable and the food is delicious!!! Everything is made from scratch and its awesome!!!! check it out!!!!!! Feels like home! | american (new) | 12,502 |
Restaurent name is: Ry\xc3\xba
review: I love eating at Japanese restaurants because of the atmosphere-a very clear, crisp look. This is the second location of Ry\xc3\xba in the Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport. They had a sushi and Pok\xc3\xa9 bar. Pricea are on the high side ranging from 15$ and up. \nI ordered the spicy tuna Pok\xc3\xa9 with avocado, cucumber, edamame, carrots, seaweed salad and caviar. Surprisingly there was no Quinoa available so I opted for the green salad as my base. I would've like spicy mayo because even the sauce wasn't enough. It was a bit spicy so I asked for less sauce. \n\nI support green restaurants. The highlight was the paper bowl that the Pok\xc3\xa9 was served in. biodegradable is the way to go! \n\nNothing beats good food and a view for takeoff! After a tiring trip, what a nice place to come here and relax to enjoy some fresh sushi offering. I have passed by here a couple times and I have not been disappointed by the food. Delicious and filling salmon and tuna sushi rolls. They also carry fresh spring rolls, edamame and rice noodle dishes. All of these are ready to go but you can also eat it in their cute and compact dining area. I am not a fan of pubs or Tim Horton's so when I am travelling it is nice to get something a little different and refreshing. Thank you Tatami. Sushi, poke bowls and smoothies at the airport. Located next to gate 50. I had the classic Hawaiian poke bowl, it was just ok. A bit bland but ingredients were fresh. Service was quick and polite. Not a bad option if you want to grab something healthy at the airport. Awful service, Good food! Not friendly, they don't give you a chance to ask about anything Easily the worst poke bowl I've ever had. But can you even call it that? That's what their menu says, so I'm going with it.\n\nI ordered the Salmon Basil.\n\nIngredients:\n\n- Torn and haphazardly sliced bits of salmon. Normally, these cuts would be consigned to delivery in spicy salmon filling, but today they will arrive in your poke bowl.\n- Lima beans. Pretty weird.\n- Half-ripened mango chunks. Had to chew through part of a rind on one.\n- Sushi rice. There was actually vinegar in it, to my surprise. \n- Basil-mayonnaise sauce. As this was essentially mayo with basil seasoning thrown in, it was thick as hell. Weird.\n\nThis was unrecognizable as a poke bowl, really. Think of it more as a minced fish salad, do away with ideas of complementary flavors or blendings of ingredients, and your expectations will be set more reasonably.\n\nThe airport is one of the few places in Montreal where you can get lousy eats. | japanese | 12,503 |
Restaurent name is: Ah-So Sushi & Steak
review: Walked in the door at 9:33 and the hostess said "sorry guys, it\'s last call." We asked her where we could get some food to which she responded, "sorry guys, I\'m underage." Still trying to figure out what she meant by that in a telegraph style, my last visit to ah-so was:\nvery disappointing\nimpossible to find a parking spot\nthe hostess was rude\nwe did have a reservation, yet they made us wait 35 minutes\nthe tepanyaki chef was not good at cooking at all, my rice was crunchy, the rare steak i ordered was beyond well done\nAh-so is now Ah-dont-think-so to me. I don't venture out of Phoenix that often but this place is hot for Peoria AZ. Reverse happy hour is DIRT cheap, but taste like a 5 star restaurant! Waitress are attentive never let our group of 15 hang. I had a drink in hand a gay joke to tell every time. :) I had few things on the happy hour menu, Of course the spicy tuna roll, simple, nice down that, calimari strips, not over cooked just right, maybe a little salty but super good, and I had there spicy chicken wings, which honestly was a little spicy for my taste, even though I like my Sh#^ hot!!! Each item I orderd was under $5 bucks. Amazing deal. Well then you had the drinks which were also on happy hour where incredible cheap...compared to your sister city SCOTTSDALE.... With my food and my 4 drinks I forked out a merely 30 bucks which is nothing......GREAT PLACE TO GO!!!! BTW awesome di!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Based on the other reviews, it seems my girlfriends and I have been lucky whenever we stop in for dinner/happy hour. Our waitresses (especially today - I wish I got her name) are very sweet and accommodating. I don't eat pork, and they always substitute and replace menu items to make sure I can order what I want. This location's set-up is better than the one on 61st (larger and with music) so we always come here. \n\nTo be honest, I'm a Yen junkie (their happy hour sucked me in)... but whenever me and the girls want to switch it up, we always drop by Ah-So and enjoy ourselves. I really like this place. I only go during happy hour, maybe 2-3 times a month. They have a very nice atmosphere. The servers are great, so is the manager. But I really do dislike the whole gratuity tip. Every time I go its usually 5 or 6 of us and my $22 bill comes with an additional $7 gratuity tip. And they still expect the customer to leave a tip!! Give me a break... I go during happy hour for a reason. | japanese | 12,504 |
Restaurent name is: Scorchers Casual Eatery & Draft House
review: Went to this place for drinks on two occasions. First time...the service was slow and the bartenders were unprofessional. The second time...which was last night were ULTRA unprofessional and disrespectful. So I spoke to the person who said she was the manager and after speaking with her for 30-40 seconds realized that this individual could not have been the one in charge. \n\nBoth times I went at night...so I don't know what the day crowd looks like. But either way they won't see my money anymore. The bar area is big and pretty nice, drinks were cold, bar food was average, but not bad at all. Lots of options. Our server seemed alright until another patron requested another drink because his drink didn't taste right. He requested a new shot from a new bottle, which she eventually obliged, but not without an attitude and commenting about the situation while taking our food order. The bartender apologized to us as if she was apologizing for the other customer and it honestly came off pretty racist. I can't imagine receiving the same treatment if I had requested a new drink. The situation kind of pissed me off, so we won't be back. Not a fan of sports bars but parking easy enough, the service was excellent and our bar server\n\nwas very attentive.\n\n The food came out the way you hoped hot and flavorful.\n\n The wings had fresh garlic on them not powdered and the sauce clung to the wings.\n\n The fries were nice and crisp not soggy at all.\n\n The cob salad was a thing to be hold.\n\n The drinks were well made and hit you where you should be hit.\n\n Great open atmosphere ,good food and great drinks.\n\n Everything a sports bar should be.\n\n Bon appetit. Always good pool table are sometimes pack but other then that always cool and chilled For the past 3 months my husband and I have invited family and friends to play volleyball at Scorchers. It was a very peaceful and good time. And the group has spent several dollars on food and drink while we played each time. \n\nOur latest game was scheduled for Saturday, July 8. We show up and the site manager tells us we can\'t have the volleyball Or use the courts because their was a "previous" incident on the court. \n\nBullshit. My husband and I had to call ALL of our 15+ invited guests and cancel what was set to be a good evening of volleyball, food and drinks at Scorchers. Because of this, I will never ever patron Scorchers again and I will tell all my friends and family to do the same. \n\nPretty sure there was no such incident and Manager had a different motive for why he didn\'t want us on the volleyball court. | american (new) | 12,505 |
Restaurent name is: Sapore Restaurant
review: I don't like to tell too many people about this place because I am afraid that I won't be able to get a reservation. I want to keep it all to myself. It is that good. Seriously. We try to go at lease once a month. \n\nTry one of the price fix menus for $60/ person for 7 courses or order off the menu... Even better, go to one of their wine/dinner nights and be amazed. And Wendy is the best server in Ohio - tip her well... We dined last evening. We were not sure what to expect, since this was our first time there. The menu had wonderful options and a variety of selections from appetizers to dessert. We were overwhelmed with the many selections, so we decided to try many options and share them among our table. Everything was exquisitely prepared. It is a destination since it is in Chesterland, but well worth the trip! We will definitely make a return visit. Outstanding food! Great sophistication of flavors in a well prepared meal. The Risotto with mushrooms was excellent, al dente and creamy. Scallops tasted as good as any I have had anywhere in the country. \n\nBest of all was cost - 4 people, appetizers, salads, dinner, deserts and a bottle of wine for under $100 a couple. The restaurant located in a converted house and is one of those that you will pass by - but don't. Its quaint atmosphere, great food, and reasonable price make it worth the experience. This place is great!!! Food was amazing with a cozy atmosphere I recommend highly... although I will say on the way home I had to poop so bad I thought I wasn't gonna make it, so just be prepared that chocolate tart\xc3\xa9 gets ya. So worth it This magnificent gem is the work of Loretta Paganini, who since 1989 has owned and operated the culinary school located directly across the street from this fine establishment. Here, Loretta's culinary mastery is put on full display, with fresh baked bread, handmade pastas, succulent seafood and meats, and decadent desserts being the cornerstone of a diverse menu. When you pair that superb and attentive service, how can you possibly go wrong? The interior is limited in space - with only 10 or so tables - so you may wish to make reservations; however, you will not regret it as the food here is on another level of excellence! | italian | 12,506 |
Restaurent name is: Billy's Roadhouse
review: Best weekend breakfast in the North Hills. It does not hurt that Billy's starts pouring drinks at 9am on the weekend. Since I started going to Billy's breakfast, I have brought several friends all of whom have loved it. This is the best bar in the North Hills. Cozy and not too loud. Douchers generally don't come here, thankfully.\n\nTheir wings are great. Tons of flavors. Just stay away from the bourbon wings. Spotting a buck is tantamount to winning the drunk lottery. $1 beers all night if you're the first to call it.\n\nNegatives, beer selection kind of small and yokels will occasionally put country music on the jukebox.\n\nMy advise, don't go here. I say that selfishly because I'd hate for it to become another loud and crowded bar filled with douche bags and rednecks.\n\nBut if you do come here, Chelsea and Jess are the best. Tip them well. Horrible! I've been going there for 20 yrs and it has fallen off a ledge. Waited 45 min for wings and a sandwich, once I finally got it ...the wings had human hairs wrapped around them, sandwich bread was soggy and they didn't remember anything I asked for. Service didn't apologize or anything. Stay away!! Great little hidden spot. Large menu, above average bar food. Terrific burgers! Could use a few more craft beers. Go early to avoid the crowds and loud drunks. We stopped in on a Saturday and the place was practically empty. We sat at a booth at the end of the bar. it took the waitress at least 5 minutes to even bring us menus and take our drink order and another 10 minutes to bring our drinks. Twenty-five minutes later I hear the bell ring from the kitchen and see our food sitting in the window but our waitress is so busy typing stuff into this antiquated POS system that she just ignored the bell. Our food sat under some heat lamp for another 5 minutes before she brought it to us. Just to get another drink took 5 minutes and she only had to walk literally 8 feet. I would hate to see how bad the service would be if they were busy. The beer faucets looked like they haven't been cleaned in years. They were green at the end. I would never order a draft beer here. I'm sure the soda gun was just as dirty but I couldn't see it. The food was average but definitely not enough to make up for the bad service. | american (new) | 12,507 |
Restaurent name is: Pizza Hut
review: The location is a little tight but the food is good for the price, the staff are always friendly and willing to help where they can. The pastas are a little over done but again its called Pizza Hut not Pasta Hut. Overall its a good option for late night grub. I really wanted one of those heart shaped pizza for Valentine's Day so I decided to grab some for dinner for the hubby and I. I Placed my order online and it said it would be ready for pick up in 30 minutes. When I got there I was expecting to pay, pick up and go, however the food wasn't ready yet and they said it would be a few minutes. 25 minutes have gone by so I ask the guy working the front if my order is ready, he looks it up on the computer and tells me my order hasn't even been started. Of course I was upset , this is why I placed the order for pick up and not carry out because the wait time was longer. The guy told me that they will make it right now. Phones were ringing and not being answered and all the carry out orders were super behind. I blame management for not staffing correctly on a holiday and I know the workers were doing their best to get all the pizza done. However they could have done better too. It took 10-15 minutes for someone to help the people that came in to pick up their food, and I felt that the workers were trying to avoid the people coming in because they knew people were upset. Finally after another 25 minutes I ask if my order is ready and the guy says it's been ready. No one told me that it was ready and on top of that, I just got a regular pizza instead of the heart shaped pizza. I know the pizza is the same but I specifically came for the heart shaped and if they ran out, they should have mentioned it to me when I was paying for my food. If I wanted a regular pizza I would have went somewhere else instead of waiting almost and hour for my food. \nI also noticed that the workers don't wear any gloves when preparing the food. Is that normal? \nI was bothered by the fact they were making my food without gloves on. I'm hoping their hands were clean.. \non the flip side, the guy who helped me did give me credit for waiting so long which I appreciated.\nBut I don't know if I want to come order food. Our pizza was super greasy, wasn't even cut properly and the pizza was blah. Well placed an order and was told irt will be ready 15 minutes. It was a personal pan and an order of cheese sticks. Very small order. 30 minutes later and it still is not ready. Seriously. Not to mention not getting an apology for the wait either. We usually order from this location- the big box meal with the pizza, cheese sticks, and wings. I the pizza used to be made a lot better... there are toppings but little to no sauce; kind of a disappointment. We love hot wings but it is always hit or miss with the wings at this location. We always need to cut them open so we know they are cooked all the way... We usually end up not being able to eat 3 or 4 each time we order. It's a waste of money sometimes but I can always count on the estimated 'ready' time. ... Eh. What can I say, it's your typical Pizza Hut. Consistently mediocre pizza. Delivery came in the expected time though so that was a plus. | italian | 12,508 |
Restaurent name is: Bistro Grace
review: Nice Resturant the service was good but is a little pricey \nThe side salads is not worth $10\nThe hamburger was great\nThe salmon fish was excellent \nLimited menu but does change weekly \nWe been there a few times and recommend it We went there last night we were very pleasantly surprised. Order calmars as entr\xc3\xa9e were excellent. I had the steak tartare and asked between mild and medium spice was more on the spice side but was very fresh and tasty. My wife had the muscles they were over cooked and hard to get out of the shell. They were tasty but a little hard to eat. The sides were great salad and lots of fries. Large portions bring your appetite. Nice contemporary d\xc3\xa9cor and the service is excellent. In all a place to go back definitely. We had dinner there last night, what a wonderful surprise considering the location. I had a hard time believing the reviews but Bistro Grace did not disappoint. The mussels we both had were succulent and delicious, and came with salad and fries. Loved the modern vibe and the staff are experienced and helpful. No complaints. We will return. HANDS DOWN the best restaurant in the West Island. Not overpriced like some of the other good ones. Beautiful decor & nice staff. Plates are very tasty and the plating is beautifully done. This is downtown grade. Went there on a Wed and the place was packed. Definitely need a reservation. Only negative is the location which is not central.... enjoy!!!! Loved the decor and vibe of this hidden gem in the west island. For starters, we had the Salmon Tartare and The Charred Octopus. Both were delicious! The combination of flavours of the grilled squid plate was out of this world! Followed with a very tasty hamburger and delicious fries. My daughter had the Caesar Salad which she just loved. For dessert, we shared the Meyer Lemon Tarte which was outstanding! The portions are generous and the service was impeccable! They also serve a daily cocktail! I will be back for sure! | mediterranean | 12,509 |
Restaurent name is: El Pollo Loco
review: The chicken is consistently dry, overcooked, almost inedible. I tried it several times and it's not an anomaly. \nI think they simply don't have enough customers to keep it fresh so it sits on the grill? I went to alocation in San Bernardino recently and it was amazing. But they were super busy, it's probably ALWAYS coming fresh off the grill.\nThis chicken should taste yummy but they overcook it beyond recognition. \nTwo stars at least, because I do like the guac and beans. I am a HUGE fan of Pollo and will continue to go there, food is fantabulous, but this location needs to get it together! The last 3 times I've gone my orders have been wrong. SUPER annoying.\n\n1. no chips when I ordered chips and guac\n2. ordered shrimp tacos and got chicken\n3. no broccoli in my bowl when that's literally the staple\n\nLol. What the frank?! Anyways... word to the wise, check your orders!!! I was going to write a detailed review but it doesn't deserve one. This place sucks! End of story. Smelled like sewage right when I walked in the door. The chicken breasts were cut in half...horizontally. The wings look like they were torn from the chicken. The butchering skills of the staff are obviously horrible. The chicken was dry and did not taste good. The chicken was so small it looked like a pigeon. 8 pcs for $20 = 4 ozs of meat. I was so excited to see el pollo lock open in my neighborhood! Every time I would go to California, I would make sure to get some! My son and I went there tonight and got the chicken fajita burrito... omg it was so effing great! The staff was really nice also, and the restaurant was very clean, and really trendy and nice looking. The memories I have of el pollo loco just got even better! Love it! So delicious!!! | mexican | 12,510 |
Restaurent name is: Lotus Chinese Restaurant & Lounge
review: I was torn between three and four stars. The portions are large and the food good quality. The atmosphere is a three-star restaurant in that it is older. It is a nice stop if you're wanting to eat on water Street. It's just ok... I'm from California. We have better Chinese food everywhere. I most likely won't go back. About the worst Chinese food I have ever had..!! And I've had it all over the country..!!\nI ordered the dinner combination special. First off the Wonton soup had no flavor, no vegetables, no shredded pork, only a weak broth and 2 shriveled up dry wantons. The type of crunchy noodles they serve come out of a can.\nThe fried wonton I got had nothing inside..!!\nThe egg roll was really a spring roll and the oil it was cooked in was dripping off all over my hands.\nThe sweet and sour pork was not good. What meat there was was either chewy or fatty. The fried rice was dry with no flavor and nothing in it..!\nThe only reason I gave it two stars was the service which was OK.! Not worth it at even half the price..!! Well, we had not eaten at the Lotus for a few years; after seeing no food trucks at "Last Friday" on the Henderson Events Plaza, we decided to give Lotus a try.\n\nService was good, fast and attentive.\n\nFood: nothing to really return for...\nIt was good, but lacking -\n\nWon Ton Soup: just that; broth and won tons. We are used to some veggies, maybe a few \'scarps\' of meat.\nSweet & Sour (Chicken and Pork: again just plain. The S&S sauce was typical and good. The Pork was a bit overcooked. No Veggies: Where is the pineapple hiding, no onion, peppers or carrots.\nFried Rice: lacking veggies and egg. Guess when they say "Fried Rice" that is what they mean and what you get.\n\nDropped from our list of Oriental places; so sorry! 3 Stars ain't a bad thing. I went in on a Saturday afternoon and was the only one there. I watched as egg rolls were made by hand and I was able to place a quite sizeable order and asked all sorts of questions. They don't use microwaves, everything's cooked to order, business isn't as busy as it was during the boom times, etc. I enjoyed the conversation and walked out with $60+ worth of food and even got help taking it to my car. \n\nOnce we got home we realized that they didn't get my order quite right as some of the stuff we thought we ordered didn't get ordered. But beyond that what we had was not bad. Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, all of it was a right down the middle experience. There was nothing we disliked enough to turn into table scraps for the dog, but it wasn't an OMG I would drive all the way from Summerlin if we moved over there type thing either. In short this is 3 star territory, and 3 stars have their place. Sometimes you just want No B.S., solid food at a reasonable price. The Lotus will take care of that, just as they have for the 17 years they've been in Henderson. This was far from my first visit (I found Lotus on my first short stay in Vegas) and it won't certainly be the last one either. Don't be star struck and let the 3 stars fool ya. Go check it out. \n\nOne item of note: They don't really have a kids menu to speak of. I just ordered LoMein noodles for him and he ate a lot of them. So Lotus gets put on the kid approved list. | chinese | 12,511 |
Restaurent name is: Ranchero's Taqueria
review: A few years ago I noticed the good reviews this place had on Yelp and decided to give it a try. What it lacks on the impression it makes from the outside, it makes up for ten fold inside. Clean, great service from friendly people, a wonderful owner/chef and food that keeps us coming back on average once a week. \n\nDave, the owner is very proud of the food he serves and has a great memory for what his regulars enjoy. He doesn't even roll his eyes when I request fish (talapia) on rice with chorizo and pineapple. Don't judge until you've tried it! I've had the same combo on the giant burrito that is enough to fill me up and then give me two more meals at home. \n\nThe salsa keeps us coming back. I love the red powder on the chips, but its presence is unpredictable. From time to time, Dave will bring out a small free desert he is experimenting with. Always a treat. We drive past a number of decent Mexican places to arrive at Ranchero's Taqueria. Should of taken a hint when we walked in and there was only one other couple in the building, Decided to go here because of all the good reviews that we saw. Not sure what everyone sees in this place the only thing authentic here are the people, the salsa taste like taco salsa from a jar and the chips from a bag. The food wasn't good either, We had steak ranchero and chicken & beef enchiladas, the waitress didn't speak English, it seemed like it was her first day there we had to point at the menu to show her what we were wanting. No liquor license either! we will stick to El Jalapenos in Barberton. One of the best mexican places in the area - great service and great food - simple and pleasant atmosphere. Came in for lunch because of all the great reviews. The beef enchilada lunch combo was phenomenal. With the complimentary chips, giant plate of food and a Jarrito, I left fat and happy. Pretty cheap too! Great Mexican and great service. This is now a regular stop for us in Akron, on our way up to Cleveland. | mexican | 12,512 |
Restaurent name is: Kiyo Sushi
review: I frequent here for lunch, and am always satisfied with the quality of the salmon sashimi. It's fresh, well marbled and of course tasty! I usually get the salmon bento for lunch ($12.95) which comes with salmon sashimi, spicy crispy salmon rolls, japchae, and salmon sushi. Better quality salmon sashimi than even Mi Ne sushi nearby which is impressive. I've read the older reviews, and the service is excellent now. The waitress is very attentive and always one step ahead.\n\nDefinitely coming back again! Whoa, whoa. So. Good!! I'm so fortunate to have stumbled upon here while looking for another restaurant. Luckily I already had an idea as to what this place might be like since hearing about it just a day prior from another friend so there was no hesitation in trying it out. \n\nI couldn't help but order basically what caught my eyes as soon as I flipped open their menu. They have a large selection of rolls, combination of different rolls, and appetizers. They also have a nice selection of sashimi. \n\nI ended up getting an 8 piece shrimp tempura to start with, then the small dinner sashimi set, and then finally the Orangeville roll. I'm not even kidding when I say this but sashimi has got to be the freshest I've tried! Each piece practically melted in my mouth and they were so sweet, I'm definitely coming back soon. The roll was amazing, not too much rice and plenty of other goodies, mark me as impressed. Tempura was all right but that's expected. You can't go wrong with that.\n\nService was great; the restaurant wasn't busy at all so quick and efficient are words to describe it. Definitely coming back! Must give a five-star rating for the first sushi restaurant to win my family's heart (and stomachs). The service has always been friendly at this quaint, tiny location occupying a central spot in the plaza at Elgin Mills on the other side of Loblaws While I can't say that I've adored everything I've had here, there are certainly some maki rolls that Kiyo makes like no other joint I've been to - the crunch roll, for instance, is one that my sister and I like to order time and time again (only $5, too). Over the multiple times I've come here with mom, papa and the sis, I've also tried a bit of the chicken katsu bento box, the chicken teriyaki bento box, the jumbo dynamite roll, the chicken teriyaki (?) roll and the california roll. Kiyo's sushi is so soft and tasty - a real hidden gem in Richmond Hill, I'd say. The fifth star comes specifically because my family has been to many sushi places together and this one's attention to detail is perpetually impressive - the cute orange slices for dessert, peppy servers and generally calm / soothing ambiance are more than enough to outweigh a bit more expensive than what I am accustomed to. We spontaneously decided to check out this sushi place, with my friend who was trying sushi for the 2nd time. We were pleasantly surprised and had an amazing experience. Not only was the sushi was amazing the waitress was very helpful. We really enjoyed the restaurant, the presentation and the atmosphere . If you are in the area I highly recommend to check this place out !!!\n\nWe ordered the fresh morning veggie sushi which had a mango after taste. Loved it! My family and I love Kiyo because the sushi is always fresh, the family who runs the restaurant are always kind and we can tell they take pride in their quality food and preparation. There's never too much rice in their rolls and they have a lot of options for a quick lunch or take out for a party. \nWe love supporting this local restaurant which we think is an undiscovered gem! | japanese | 12,513 |
Restaurent name is: South 21 Family Restaurant
review: I have visit this place in the past food was awesome however I believe they're up Under New Management food tasted nothing like before service was nothing like before restaurant very unkept. Visit doing lunch hours however maybe a total of 6 customers in the restaurant will not be returning to this location Food is crazy good! The fried BBQ chicken is delicious and the French fries are awesome. Fast friendly service sodas are very fizzy and the restaurant is very clean. Try it out you will not be disappointed. OK. I love diners, dives stops and family restaurants. This great place satisfies all my needs. They meet you at the door smiling, get your order out quickly and the price is right. Hot burgers, fries, onion rings, good ice tea, clean restrooms and tons of parking. Make it a stop next time you go by IKEA or Target off of 85. First time at this establishment. My only complaint would be the location, it's an interesting path to get into the parking lot. The decor is simple yet functional. The food was made to order, hot and fresh. Worth the cost and the headache to get there! A common complaint about fast food is that it isn't fast and it isn't food. In contrast, my excellent, made-to-order flounder sandwich with fries came out quickly. Both were piping hot! I'm an out-of-towner but South 21 Jr just made my list of favorite breakfast/ lunch spots in Charlotte. A great locally owned business that deserves your attention. | american (traditional) | 12,514 |
Restaurent name is: Green Basil Restaurant
review: This is not Thai food. Ordered here for delivery twice. Second time got sucked in by the complimentary mango salad....regrets. Have had their soup, salad, noodles, fried rice, beef, seafood. Basically, it\'s take-out Chinese with a sprinkle of spices here and there to appear "Thai." I guarantee you there\'s not one Thai employee/owner in this establishment. That ubiquitous balance of sweet/sour/salty/spicy is lacking....actually, non-existent. 1st place ever (in my history of eating out) to serve mushy fried rice. Large portions, but I\'d prefer 3/4 the portion for delicious food. Why oh why is this area cursed with such mediocrity in the food scene (wait, what food scene)? On the plus side, the delivery kid was sweet. Best Thai food in the beaches ! Try the peanut chicken curry! It's a must ! Quick and friendly service. Food is consistently great. Prices are very reasonable and decor is nice. Definitely worth the hype ! We used to get take out from Green Basil on a reg basis, but the quality has slowly been getting worse. The last time we ordered, there were almost no shrimp in the shrimp pad thai and the chicken in the stirfry tasted like it had freezer burn. It was actually bad enough that we called to let them know, but the person on the phone was indifferent and didn't offer any compensation, although we'd been ordering from there for years. Too bad:( We really enjoyed Green Basil. We had beef satay, chicken in coconut milk curry with peanuts and pineapple and curry pad thai. The chicken and pad thai were excellent, the satay was pretty good. The dinner was very good value as well - $30 total bill. The service was ok, although it was a busy Friday night so somewhat understandable. One of our best Thai dining experiences, especially for food quality. Love this place, especially in the winter - big sunny windows are perfect for people watching. The Green chicken curry is fantastic. I loved LOVED the mango salad, but I think it's off the menu now, which is a shame. The crispy beef is also great, but the rest of the salads are not my taste. I would be over the moon if they brought back the mango! | thai | 12,515 |
Restaurent name is: Rock Hill Diner
review: We stopped in for breakfast after staying the night in Rock Hill. We were seated quickly, our order was taken and we received great service. My husband and I both got omelettes. I had the Western and he had the ham & cheese. I know this may not seem a big deal to some but they had my favorite jelly for my toast. Smuckers Orange Marmalade. The waitress was friendly & attentive To our request. \nIf we are ever back in Rock Hill we will visit again A disgrace they even call this a diner it stops serving breakfast at 11am...... bad service has to remind our waitress of our order multiple times. Horrible experience This place was disappointing. I gave it 3 stars but 2 were for the server who couldn\'t have been more friendly and attentive. She was awesome.\n\nThe low rating is for the food.\n\nGyro Sandwich - tasted okay, not great. however, I needed a microscope to find the meat! Ok, I exaggerate but there was very little meat on the sandwich. I felt like I was eating meat-flavored pita. On the positive, the Pita was soft and fresh.\n\nFries - I liked the fact that they are large cut. But, you could taste the fact that these are frozen fries. If they are not, I am shocked as they definitely tasted like a bag of Ore-Ida.\n\nPork Sandwich - ordered by my son - it looked like something you would get in a school cafeteria. He said it tasted okay but the pork did not look like it was freshly made. It looked like bulk purchase.\n\nMac & Cheese - ordered by my son - he loved it!\n\nLast comment, how can you have the word "Diner" in your name and not serve breakfast all day? We arrived at 11:45AM on a Sunday looking forward to a nice hearty breakfast. Not to be... they had already stopped serving breakfast. First time going was yesterday for breakfast. I gotta say best breakfast I have had in a long time and the prices were very reasonable! Thank you and our server was very good as well. I believe her name was Tanya. Hands down easily the best Onion rings I have ever had!!!\nBurger also is amazing.\n\nLove this place :) | american (traditional) | 12,516 |
Restaurent name is: Don Tequila Mexican Restaurant
review: You\'ll find me here when I\'m craving cheap, no-nonsense Mexican food. I\'ve been here too many times to admit but the service is always consistently great. I always get the same thing: fajitas. The portion is huge and it\'s so so cheap. They even have a "fajitas for dos" if you\'re into sharing. The mixed vegetables and meat come out sizzlin\' and the best part is it isn\'t toooo greasy like what you may expect. They will always bring out mas tortillas so you can take the rest home. The margs are decent and yup, cheap. Great for group fiestas. \xc2\xa1Ol\xc3\xa9! I grew up further south and I think if I were still living there I would give this place three stars but I had to bump up one because it is difficult to find good Mexican food in Cleveland. The decor is fairly standard for little Mexican joints. It was clean. \n\nThe service was prompt and the waiter very accommodating. Several people have mentioned the salsa and although it is not my favorite style of salsa there was nothing intrinsically wrong with it. I found it to be perfectly adequate as an appetizer.\n\nWhere this place shined for me was the entree. At the suggestion of the waiter I ordered the burrito Durango, which has several meats and is covered in a spicy chili mole. It was quite good. I would definitely order it again.\n\nThe prices were also more than fair with a large amount of food coming at a pretty cheap price. If your looking for some descent Mexican food then this is a great option. The food is ok but the service is sub-par. Just had a horrible take out experience. How is a chicken and steak burrito the same as three beef tacos. It was a take out order so course I didn't see the problem until I got home. This is not the same as forgetting a taco or forgetting to put cheese on the taco. Not happy at all with this type of service. I was basically ripped off since I paid for what I ordered and got something completely different in the end. They just lost one customer and they may lose more if they don't change.\n\nUpdate....After speaking with the manager about what happen, he acknowledge that they messed up. He explained my order was mixed up with another customer's order and he talked with his staff about better checking of orders before taking them out to customers. They are back on good terms with me. Great Mexican restaurant. Never got anything bad here. Food is reasonably priced and always comes out to the table fast. This was my first visit to Don Tequila on Green Road. I was in the mood for tacos and they are close to my house. I\'m of the opinion that a "real" taco just includes a perfectly grilled meat along with chopped onions and cilantro, all wrapped up in a double, lightly fried corn tortilla. So, I asked the waiter for three simple "tacos de carnitas." I was thrilled with the tacos. The pork was amazing - hand pulled with crispy edges and great spice. There was lots of meat, too. I just added a little lime juice and some hot tomatillo salsa to make some of the best tacos I\'ve had since living in Chicago. I agree with other reviews that the chips and salsa aren\'t special. I\'m guessing that all the pork dishes are good if they use the same pulled pork I had. I also sampled the tilapia tacos and they were good, but nothing to rave about. I\'ll go back, for sure. Thanks for the nice service, too! I would recommend trying Don Tequila\'s. | mexican | 12,517 |
Restaurent name is: Liverpool John's
review: It was my first visit to Liverpool Johns and I will likely return. They had some pretty great specials on: $16.00 for ribs & wings with fries and slaw and less than $5 for their Liverpool John's draught.\nCons: Service was a slow (considering it wasn't too busy) & nachos came out cold. We went on a Saturday evening and had a difficult time to decide what to get. The menu offers a great variety of food. Burgers, poutine, sandwiches, salads, a few typical British/Irish dishes (I think), pasta, soups and quite a few other selections.\nWe had some poutine, a burger and two little yorkies. \nEverything was tasty! Even the poutine. I also had some sweet potato fries and it was perfect. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside instead of soggy. \nService was nice and the atmosphere pleasant.\n\nWe will definitely come back to try more of their menu. Been here a few times with friends and had a great time. The food is great and at a good price. They even have their own house beer and they have a dance floor on the lower level with a live dj. A great place for a night out This is the latest of several English pub style restaurant/bars that have been in this old mansion at the corner of Liverpool and Kingston. The decor is much the same as the last version since it is part of the historic building. The food is pretty good, although we have only tried the traditional pub fare. The bangers and mash are excellent, good enough our friend from England asked where they got the sausages. My husband has tried the two little yorkies and the Guinness meat pie which he also enjoyed. The only thing that sucks is the live entertainment, at least what they had the last evening we were there. All 4 of us kept hoping each song was the last as they were awful. Sad, droning, Irish music by singers who couldn't sing well at all. I was wishing for ear plugs! Go for the food, avoid the entertainment! Excellent service and great food. We were greeted right away, server was very attentive and the drinks were good quality as well as the food. Clean and lots of tvs to watch the games. | canadian (new) | 12,518 |
Restaurent name is: Tong-Tong Chinese Restaurant
review: The best Chinese restaurant in Stow, though Main Moon and King Dragon aren't too bad if you're in a pinch (Tong Tong is little more expensive). Great for takeout or dining in. The egg rolls are outstanding! And the Singapore noodles are comparable to PF Chang's. We so want to like this place as we started going here when Tai Wah moved to Streetsboro. They have all the dishes one wants in a cheap Chinese take-out, it\'s close to home and it\'s quick. But after more than a half dozen visits we continue to be disappointed. The food just tastes "off", or not very flavorful. So sad. Great food...a little pricey for Chinese food but not over the top. I think it might just be because of the area...close to Hudson. But none the less, the food is always great. WAAAAYYYY better thank Pad Thai, in my opinion. Great chicken fried rice - I usually opt for take out. Staff is very kind and makes extra effort for diners with mobility issues. My lovely wife and I took take away from here a few weeks ago. We\'ve heard all sorts of compliments about how wonderful it was and what great Chinese it was, and it was reaffirmed by Yelp reviews.\n\nSadly we were disappointed.\n\nThey packed all of our entrees with sauces separately. Now I don\'t mind this when I request it, but seriously, should their bags read "some assembly required?". Basically we received fried chicken, and we\'re given the various sauces to assemble our own. My wife, sweet n sour, myself sesame chicken. Their sesame sauce that I received was nothing short of awful. I\'d be better making my own. Which was essentially what they wanted me to do. | chinese | 12,519 |
Restaurent name is: Villa Italia Ristoranti
review: CLOSED!!!!\nI was suspicious when there was no answer as I tried to place a delivery order. I went by there and it was obviously closed. Too bad, food was great! Amazing food! My hubby was stationed in Rome, Itally where he fell in love with the fresh flavors of bruschetta. He has often talked about how much those flavors forever changed his idea of what Italian food should be and had not been able to find that flavor again in the states - until last night at Villa Italia! I would recommend bringing friends because it is a big serving of food (also ask for a little extra bruschetta toppings, they are sooooo good and there was just a tad too much bread to toppings ratio IMO). \nAnyway, we also ordered their Mediterranean Pizza (not the salad one, the other one with eggplant) and it was so good - thin crust with puffy, crispy edges. Perfect, best pizza I've had in a long time. We'll definitely be back! My 3 yr old wolfed down the kids penne, so I stole a bit from him and loved the red sauce, even asked for a side of it to have with the pizza. Everything I tried was delish - we are so happy they came in to Spinato's old place on Glendale, Villa Italia is so convenient and the food is way better now (but don't tell Spinato's I said that).\n\nPS - In spite of there being only one server, we didn't wait long, but you might want to get the guy that was hanging around the entry to actually do something useful. The lovely server was working solo while he just stood around not doing anything (it was annoying but I'm ignoring him in the review rating because you are all just starting out). Really good food! It is all homemade and the owner even came out to say hello. What a nice place... I live in the neighborhood and will be back for sure. Loved it Newer restaurant tucked away in the Stratford plaza behind Dutch brothers. I've been here 3 times since they opened. I've enjoyed everything so far. I would definitely give it a try. This little hole in the wall is a gem! The pizza is some of the best in town. The lasagna and pesto pasta is wonderful! The garlic knots are super addicting. The staff is very nice. (Not a big fan of their spaghetti and meat sauce but everything else rocks!!) | italian | 12,520 |
Restaurent name is: Aunt Chilada's
review: This was the first time we had eaten at this restaurant, and have to say - we are SO glad we did. There were 3 of us, and I got my usual dish I get at most mexican restaurants, enchiladas. I had 1 shredded beef, and 1 shredded chicken - and they had probably the best flavor I have had since being in Puerto Vallarta. The service was great, and the atmosphere is amazing. What a great place! We went with a party of 9 tonight and had the best service. Chips and salsa were out quickly and the margaritas were on par. My favorite part of the meal were the fish tacos. They are amazing! The sauce on the tacos was delicious! Thanks for the great service and food! We will be back! Hit this place up for a quick happy hour meal. Had to have the enchiladas, they were a little dry. Parking may be an issue if this place was busier. Oh Dear Aunt Chilada, where did you go?\n\nWhen I was young we would go out to eat on very special occasions. I remember the excitement of going to Aunt Chilada's for birthday dinners and having a great time. \n\nI'm not sure if it's the childhood memories not holding up, or the change in management, but Aunt Chilada's truly disappointed me.\n\nWe went with a part of four, and I was the only person who had been there before. The interior and d\xc3\xa9cor was EXACTLY as I remembered it, meaning that in 15 years, I don't think they've even touched up the paint. Once seated, we found that the room was very noisy, with only 3 parties in the room. It was also extremely crowded, with tables much closer than they needed to be.\n\nThe service was adequate, other than sitting dry waiting for more drinks. They did bring chips and salsa quickly, and the staff was polite.\n\nNow, to the part that was so heartbreaking for me. The food. Meh about sums up what I thought. I tried a little off of everyone's plate, and across the board it was so-so. Nothing inspired me, nothing stood out. While it's still better than Taco Bell, it really seemed like they were phoning it in. There was no symphony of flavors, nothing unexpected. \n\nAll in all, this is a good place to take your East Coast relatives who can't handle spice, for a stereotypical Mexican meal. It's kind of like the Disney version of Mexico. For natives like myself, especially those who either cook their own food, or love a little spice and excitement, don't waste your time. This restaurant was busy and I am so glad we decided to wait for a table! The food was amazing. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and funny. The drinks were good. We even had ducks out on the patio with us! Will definitely return when I visit Phoenix again! | mexican | 12,521 |
Restaurent name is: Kinjo Sushi
review: Came here today with my friends. I've been to two other locations, the Dalhousie and the one by the district. \n\nI was surprised with how small this location was compared to the others. It looked old and outdated inside. And the restaurant had a sweaty smell to it.. Almost like when you're at the gym. \n\nFrom where I was sitting, I could see behind the little curtain, they had trays of dirty dishes on the floor which looked very unappealing and I know that shouldn't be on the floor. Makes me wonder what else they do that they shouldn't be doing. \n\nThe service there was quite adequate. We had a very nice server. The food came out fast. \n\nThe size of the rolls and portions were a lot smaller compared to the other locations I've been to. \n\nWhen we got our bill, it was close to $100 and I was surprised because the three of us weren't very full. \n\nThose are my reasons why I gave them a 3/5.\n\nI'll probably stick to the other locations from now on. This has been a classic for me for years! I love the food and fast service. Quality of service is not always the best, and has gone down hill for the past couple years. This is my go-to place for sushi. The fish is fresh and delicious. The service is very friendly and attentive. I started to go there when Peter Kinjo (later finding out he is the owner) was the pocky man and he is honestly so genuine and charming. He always went around the restaurant and took the time to chat with everyone to make sure everything was okay and that people were enjoying themselves. It never felt intrusive and he always looked like he loved his job. \n\nOne thing I really like about the sushi is the portion and the sizes. Don't get me wrong, I try not to discriminate against other types of sushi because I know it comes in all beautiful shapes and sizes, but I like the fact that Kinjo rolls are small enough that I can easily eat them without mentally preparing myself to chew for the next 5 minutes (we've all done it with one of those monster rolls before). \n\nI'm also a big person when it comes to eating a little bit of everything and sometimes it's tricky with other sushi places as the rolls can be a lot bigger and especially if it's only 2 people, you can only order so many different rolls as you have a crazy bill or a lot of leftovers (which is also not a bad thing). With Kinjo, you can try many different plates as most of them come in 4 pieces. If you sit next to the sushi boat, beware. You will order from the menu and then just fill up like crazy from that damn boat. And then by the time your food actually comes out, you'll probably be full. \n\nMy only complaint is that the tempura is pretty small and not what you'd expect it to be and same with the teriyaki chicken/beef. They're still good, but I wouldn't say they're my favourite. \n\nDefinitely give it a try! This place is really a 4 star place, but I just... don't like being disturbed while I'm eating...\n\nI'm sorry, but I would like this place a lot more if it didn't run the risk of Peter Kinjo visiting me everytime with his knife pointed at me. If you go to Kinjo's for your first time it is entertaining at first when he tells you to hold the girls hand (it can be your mom, or your girlfriend) and tell you how much you love them and how beautiful they are... and he also gives you free pocky as a result, but the act got old years ago. He's been using the same lines when this place opened 6-7 years ago? \n\nI still return here for the food though. I'm from Vancouver and so it's not really fair to compare sushi from between the two cities because I think Vancouver wins hands down... but for Calgary it's really good and consistent. My favorite things here are the volcano roll, salmon (sake), the salmon with hollandaise sauce on it, the rack of lamb, and the magic steak (although it's not very large in size). My friends and I were on MacLeod a few days ago and there were four other sushi places along the trail. We tried to go to the all-you-can-eat buffet one but we just happened to come during their gap closed hour. So we sat in the parking lot and looked up reviews for The One Sushi across the street (heard repeatedly that it was sticky) and decided to try out Kinjo down the road instead. I\'m not a big sushi person though and have had it literally one other time in my life but I was willing to give it a shot because it seemed like a good place.\n\nOhhhh my god. So good. Okay, let me explain all the things that make this place so wonderful and how we\'re probably gonna come back at least 1000 times before we\'re seniors. Come in and we were welcomed and seated really quickly in a booth and given a plate of four rolls. Forget the other two, but that california roll and volcano roll were amazing. Totally great. Our waitress and the service were prompt and friendly. I liked the volcano rolls so much that I ordered a plate for myself. We ordered dynamite rolls, spicy tuna rolls, rainbow rolls, california rolls, deep fried shrimp. Oh, and eel. I also got fried rice for myself. The food arrived so quick and it was just delicious, we probably got our food 10-15 minutes after we ordered, it was that fast. The portion of fried rice I got was more than I thought it\'d be, but totally worth it. Volcano rolls are a must-get.\n\nA really cute touch is that if you sit in a booth beside the center kitchen, there\'s a conveyor belt with little boats on it that have plates of sushi on it that you can just grab and take as you please if a boat rolls by and you see something you like. We thought it was so cool. Plus you can see the cooks at work.\n\nEveryone who works at the restaurant seems really close, and when the staff see someone they know come in (I\'m guessing it was either a fellow employee or a regular customer) they shout the person\'s name in a "Ayyyy my dude is here" kind of way. It\'s awesome. It makes the whole atmosphere of the restaurant seem really fun. Can\'t really say anything about the speed of the restaurant during busy hours because the first time we came was a Monday afternoon just as people were getting out of work and we were already at the restaurant.\n\nOh, and you get free Pocky after your visit!!! Who doesn\'t love that? I think that\'s something the customers really love - it\'s a really awesome, thoughtful, unique touch. Anyways, we think this place is basically perfect and we tipped huge afterwards. \n\nSo summarized, we didn\'t really see any downsides to this place.\n+ Totally delicious and I\'ll probably try different kinds of sushi next time now that I know I like it\n+ Short wait time!\n+ Friendly friendly serviceeee!\n+ Fun, tight-knit atmosphere\n+ Cheap/affordable! Our total bill between three people came to $69.00 (haha). When you consider how much food we ordered and how good it was, that was a great deal.\n+ SUSHI. ON BOATS.\n+ FREE POCKY\n+ Not sticky\n\nBelieve me, this place is a ####ing gem and my crew will be back. 5/5 would empty my wallet again. | japanese | 12,522 |
Restaurent name is: Rott n' Grapes Uptown
review: I am so so so excited this place is finally open!\n\nFirst, the name is awesome, and I don't even have to make a pun in my review because they've already done it for me. They are totally crushing the wine scene (ok, I made one anyway). \n\nIt's somewhat hidden by construction, but you definitely want to check it out. It's a small spot, but really adorable. The set up has a wrap around bar that is both inside and outside. They plan to expand their patio, and I am really looking forward to watch their progress and growth. Dog friendly outside bar, as well, which I find very important. They have ample room to charge your phone, and wifi so if you really have to work late and NEED a glass of wine (me), this is the place.\n\nTheir wine selection covers all spectrums and beer is available in bottles, but don't go expecting a draught! \n\nI had an opportunity to speak with the owners, who I absolutely love! They truly care about the neighborhood and having a local bar for the community. They are willing to invest the time in not only their bar, but to get to know their clientele. \n\nand the best part......HAPPY HOUR UNTIL 8:00 PM EVERY SINGLE DAY.\n\nI mean, come on. What could be better? A bar that you can ACTUALLY enjoy after work specials. \n\nI HIGHLY suggest trying this place out. My wife surprised me with my 30th birthday party here. The bartenders were super friendly and the food was great! Highly recommmend! If I were to rate this venue based only on service and how easy it was for me to "let my hair down," I would easily give 3.5 stars, but for now, I can only say "A-OK," due to the limited selection of food. (An "A-OK" from me is still pretty good! I rarely give four stars after only one visit, but when I do, you better believe I was impressed with service, food, beverages, low ambient noise pollution, and delightful atmosphere!) Rott n\' Grapes is listed on Yelp as a venue with tapas/plates, but it really is more of a "wine and beer bar," with bar snacks as somewhat just an afterthought. There\'s an impressive chalkboard written with multi-colored chalk, and with such a large list of wines and beers, I was overwhelmed. What a relief when my eyes adjusted and somehow found Caymus Conundrum. I was with a friend, who\'s never heard of Conundrum, but was willing to try a bottle (!) on my word (!!) that it was good. Bartender Jason backed me up on how great the Conundrum line is, and with a free app from a selection of three with the purchase of a bottle, how can we go wrong? With my friend\'s power of persuasion, he was able to get a credit for the app and have it applied to the charcuterie board, instead. Another win! (This was after my friend spoke to the other bartender about the possibility, and not Jason.)\n\nThere was a bit of confusion when Jason poured us a glass of red, when we told the other bartender that we wanted white, but Jason didn\'t even bat an eye, obtained a chilled bottle of white and immediately poured us two glasses, and then placed the bottle into a wine chiller. The tiny charcuterie board (normally $15, but $12 during HH) came with extra-sharp white cheddar (my favorite of the three), triple-cream Brie, and Manchego; salted almonds, a mix of olives; a couple of dates; salami and prosciutto; and toasted half (?) of a small baguette brushed with EVOO. We ended up asking for more bread, so thanks to Jason for indulging us!\n\nIf I were living in the area, I might return another evening, but I live 30 minutes away... Flat out loved this neighborhood wine and beer spot. Quaint cozy and inviting. It felt like we walked into a friends party. The bartenders had a smile and shared some of their favorite brews. We missed the live music but heard it was amazing. We had several types of beers like the Schilling Ascender ginger, Maui coconut porter and the Ginger lemon rattler. Not sure if I spelled them right but neither disappointed. Cool music selection. Looking forward to making this our spot a few times a month. Loving the Rotty pics since we had one named Apollo (RIP). Haven't tried the light bites yet but I'm sure they won't disappoint. So you there! Great little neighborhood quaint bar with a wide beer selection. Wish there was more on tap but tons of bottles to choose from | italian | 12,523 |
Restaurent name is: Pokeman
review: This place is located on the corner of Spring Mountain & Valley View. It is right next to the Starbucks drive-thru window. There are only a few parking spots in front of the store, so you may have to park somewhere else in the plaza. Not a big deal. The store is pretty small. It only has a few tables and a small counter on the back wall with some stools. It may be difficult to find a seat when it gets busy. All of the food is prepared in front of you where you order and pay. The food prep area appeared to be very clean, as did the dining area.\n\nI ordered the #13 vegan roll. It was made with tofu, veggies, rice, and a sesame ginger sauce. It was very good. I definitely recommend that you stop in and try Poke Man. I will be back. I've only been to one other sushi burrito/bowl restaurant, so I'm not sure where this falls on the spectrum as a whole, but this place saved our night after a horrible experience at pho little saigon. Salmon was delicious, and they offer cream cheese as a topping! I would've liked to see tofu as a base option, but they do offer spring mix (for those trying to limit carbs). Overall healthy and yummy for a decent price.\n\nOh and if you play Pokemon Go, there's a gym and two pokestops here :) I spend $200 a month there and they forgot to charge me $.50c extra they made a big deal out of it sorry you just lost a good loyal customer I won't be going there no more..... This place is a solid 4 stars. I got the large poke bowl with two scoops of tuna and one of salmon. I wish they would tell you what ingredients are in the sauces so you don't have to guess which one you want on your fish and hope for the best.. The fish portions are decent and the veggies are fresh. I'd come back! Awesome place!! Love the name, came here with my BF and took over their gym to get the 10% discount. He ordered two sushi burritos and I had the 3 protien bowl. Everything was delicious and we had fun taking our time eating and playing Pokemon. | japanese | 12,524 |
Restaurent name is: TC's Pub & Grub
review: Incredible food, great atmosphere, and amazing customer service. The first time we came in we were greeted by the owner who mentioned that she just took over the business a few months ago. We stumbled upon this neighborhood bar a few weeks ago and have been back twice a week since! It's even family friendly enough to bring our 6 month old! We're always greeted right as we walk in the door and have never walked out without someone saying goodbye. We love this place! Awesome service at a family friendly pub! All of the servers are awesome and the management team is helpful and always seems to be helping the team. Great food and fun place to hang out. Great bloody marys! friendly staff The burgers are awesome! I love the salsa and the cheese dip. You guys really have an excellent recipe. Oh, and I love the buns on the burgers. Something about those white "specks" makes it amazing. Keep working, guys, you are all awesome. I love everything about this restaurant! Keep up the good work, everyone. You guys are awesome! Very good salads and chicken dishes. Chill atmosphere. Nice staff. Cool regulars that are friendly. | american (new) | 12,525 |
Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: This Taco Bell sucks. They don't even bother giving you the survey, because they know what the feedback would be. This place has screwed up my order more times than I can count, especially the late crew. How hard is it to serve beans instead of beef? How hard is it to serve a hot chicken burrito? )Let me tell you, a cold chicken burrito is gross!) Apparently for these fools it's impossible. Just to be clear, I love Taco Bell. I eat there multiple times a week. So I know the difference between good Taco Bell and bad Taco Bell. This one is bad. They made my order wrong (had made special request to a Mexican pizza) when I went through the drive thru. When I realized at work that it was wrong, called them back. Person who answered the phone said to bring receipt back and they would fix. I was going to be at work 8-9 hours, but when I went back, they honored my receipt and remade order properly with no problem. I will say that this location has seemed to have improved over the past months. It is still sort of hit or miss. The remodel has left the drive through very small and awkward for a normal sized car much less a truck or suv. But the food quality is great for being taco bell. The correctness of orders is fantastic which is a big issue with any taco bell. 1 star is being more than nice. Came to Lakewood t-bell for the first time about 2 months ago, placed my order and received it. Went back through the line because they forgot two items and then I went back threw again because they forgot 1 of the 2. After finally getting everything I went home to find out my taco was wrong (not the worst thing but come on!). \n\nTried it again last night 30 minutes before they close (I hate to be that guy) and we pull in and the girl says "oh sorry, we closed already. Our clock must be wrong. I\'ll tell my GM" what a joke I can't believe I'm reviewing freaking Taco Bell. But yet, here are my fingers briskly typing my love (or non-dislike) of this venerated establishment.\n\nNow, everyone has their own weakness for crappy fast food. Some people swear by the drunken White Castle run, some secretly call on Colonel Sanders for a quick hunger break, but I willingly run for the border about once a month or so when the mood strikes me. \n\nMy life just wouldn't be the same without the occasional two crunchy tacos and Burrito Supreme with tons of Fire sauce. | mexican | 12,526 |
Restaurent name is: Denny's
review: It's really busy - but they move fast, in fact sometime too fast that they forget people are here and should be served. They're moving people in and out like an assembly line, forgetting that they're here because of the people. A few friendly staff and a few not so friendly, it could be they're just too busy and focused on clearing out and ready for the next. Very nice meal and handy location. Recommend to all. Price is very good! Great service. Very clean and food was good. There was only a 5 minutes wait to be seated. Much better dennys than the one near monte carlo. Average food, what you'd expect from any dennys. Music was a bit loud made it hard to carry a conversation. What or should I say who makes this location 5 starts is the staff specially the host Joey amazing attitude and super friendly. Understaffed for a Saturday and In Vegas? \nand messed up on all of the orders. Food was cold like if it were on the counter for a long time even the inside of the steak was so cold. So much people waiting and not enough people working. Waitress was nice but overworked with more than 10 tables just by herself. Very bad! Never coming back here | american (traditional) | 12,527 |
Restaurent name is: Daniel's Italian Cuisine
review: I've had fine Italian food all over the world and this place is by far the best. Owner Daniel M. is my favorite chef in the Phoenix area. I always take my guests to Daniels and never leave unsatisfied. Daniel opened a new place located on Lincoln and 32nd street. It's called Daniel's :) had the prescutto figs with cheese, the snail, the Lambrusco, a fabulous red for th summer and tiramisu and dulce de lechwe crepes. The atmosphere is great and the dinnn experience is European style...meaning you an converse, eat slowly, laugh, drink all with th leisure of time. Daniel was there and came to say hi an checked on us a few times. The chef is French and also came to welcome us...place was packed, an with good reason!! Owner Daniel M. is one of my most favorite restaurateurs in Phoenix. His stamina and passion for the business of serving fine cuisine is a rare find. Daniel is from South America but you wouldn't know it; his knowledge of the secret kitchens of Tuscany, Umbria and Amalfi is uncanny. I know this because I traveled with him and his chef one year on their odyssey through Italy.\n\nDaniel takes special pride in personally choosing a very select few bottles of wine to fit any budget. OK, it's not Etienne's Different Point of View's list of 4000, but know that any choice you make is going to be a good one. If you're not sure, just ask for Daniel and tell him what you have in mind -- likely he has (with a wink) a special bottle in the back.\n\nWhen we traveled through the Italian countryside I was constantly astonished by the warm greetings and special invitations we had from local proprietors who shared with us exquisite homemade wines and dishes made with pride from the finest vegetables and livestock. We frequently stayed long past closing with the owners and into the night sampling rare port and grappa. At one restaurant in Orvieto the owner took us deep into the dank recesses of the wine cellar for a special sampling of cheese and wine. Talk about knowing people? One afternoon while drinking our 5th bottle of wine, who walks by but Jan D'Atri! Wow. (That's another review.) And speaking of reviewers, I also ran into Phoenix Magazine's Nikki Buchanan (also extremely nice).\n\nWhen Daniel first opened in this location with that little stone oven in the corner, it was a pizzeria and guests could belly up to long tables in a casual environment that was made easy by his banter with the heavy Italian accented waitress (name?) who made a comeback some years later. For quite some time the restaurant was Il Forno; that is until corporate giant Il Fornaio entered the fray and sued him to change the name. After much rigmarole he changed to aqua e sale -- and notice Il Fornaio has since closed its doors? LOL. Again after much hoopla, he made it Daniel's. The current wood-paneled decor makes me think of a city club in San Fran or London. Very posh, yet understated. Selections of sculpture and art from his travels dot the restaurant's three small dining rooms.\n\nThe menu is a very difficult one. I say that because it has all of your favorites and it is difficult to make your final selection. Great for steak, ravioli, the best carpaccio in the city, best buffala mozzarella, mmm.... I could go on and on. So does the menu, page after page.\n\nSome might call the preparations simplistic. This is the Tuscan way. Simple ingredients and simple preparation. Let the ingredients make their own magic. Grilled rack of lamb is not drowned in some Smucker's lime jelly, but gently brushed with rosemary and garlic, tickled with salt and pepper and finished with a squeeze spray of lemon.\n\nUnfortunately the artful one-of-a-kind plates and bowls handmade in Vietri chipped at the edges over the years and the health department made him throw them away -- UGH!! -- they were a beautiful motivation to make you lick your plate clean to see the painted pictures beneath your scrumptious dinner. Not that you needed an excuse to dab every last bit of sauce with the wonderful mini loaves of bread cooked right there in the hearth that started it all.\n\nDaniel himself is a wonderful host. He loves to give his guests a wonderful experience. There are many choices for Italian food in Phoenix. Most of it is just American Italian. Daniel's is a unique touch of the simple yet elegant. Enjoy.\n\nP.S. [post edit] OMG. How could I forget the Tiramisu? It's a generous portion, so you can share with your guest, but after your first bite you may not want to. Light and airy, yet fantastically flavorful, the quality of the coffee really makes this dish a reason to go back again and again. I'm not going to tell you the secret ingredient. You'll have to ask Daniel. Have only eaten here once, but man...it was incredible! Perfect for a romantic evening or with family and friends. Wait staff attentive, personable, and efficient. \n\nOlive oil to die for with the bread, amazing wine selection, mouth watering food. Daniel's has it all! I had a grilled veal chop, with an arrugula salad. Washed it down with a chianti reserve. Ended with a classic tirimisou and coffee. Perfect!\n\nWant to try something new? Want to try someplace that impresses without even trying? Daniel's is it. I went to Daniel\'s for my prom dinner with only my date. Unfortunately, our waiter automatically assumed that we, as the "younger" crowd, was not going to tip well no matter how good the service was. So, as expected, we recieved mediocre service. I work in the restaraunt industry, so I definitely know how important a good tip is. Other than the service, the food was delicious, but I\'m not sure if the high prices suited the dishes. The autmosphere was great though, a wonderfully decorated restaurant, more romatic and formal than I had expected. The valet was very nice and efficient. All and all I can\'t complain, but I don\'t think that I\'ll be going back anytime soon. | italian | 12,528 |
Restaurent name is: Wok Stop
review: Was here a few week ago with friends for general tso's chicken and fried cheese wonton. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. We stayed so long chatting and enjoying the food, we gonna come back again. Had delivery from Wok Stop today. Food was delivered hot and in less than 1 hour. Tasted very good and freshly made. Big portions and they included a whole bunch of fortune cookies! Ordered delivery using uber eat app, food didn't taste good. Ordered fried shrimp and tom yum soup, shrimp was ok but tom yum did not taste like tom yum soup that we eat in other chinese restaurant. Also the sauce was not sufficient for number of shrimps.\nOnly reason I gave it 2 stars because delivery was quick, before estimated delivery time, and food was hot. Found hair in 2/4 things I ordered. \n\nWeird taste in the batter - ordered sweet and sour and General Tso and I didn't enjoy the after taste. \n\nDelivery was good, food arrived hot. Not ordering again.. better places to order from. I had one of the worst experience ever at this location. I was in the mood for Chinese food and decided to stop here for a bite to eat. I ordered off the lunch menu chicken wings with chicken fried rice. When my order was ready i ask for barbecue sauce which i had to pay an extra $1.50 for. The guy in the back poured the sauce in a wok then added water to it i then noticed him adding something that looks like salt to it then i asked what it was they said it was sugar. I then proceeded to cancel the order for the barbecue sauce and was refunded. The food was the worst i ever had. | chinese | 12,529 |
Restaurent name is: Pizza Break
review: It's a family-run business. Friendly service and delicious pizza. As mentioned by another yelper, their pies are not greasy. Will definitely be back.\n\n*I'm deducting 1 star off for the wings; they're your garden variety frozen wings that are baked in the pizza oven when you place your order. It's soggy and not crispy. But then again, it's kinda my fault ordering wings at the neighbourhood pizza shop, i shoulda just stuck with ordering pizzas only. I ordered pizza and wings from pizza break. It was first time ordering there. I was satisfied the way they took my order. They where polite. They where on time with my order. They said 40 minutes and it was here in 40 minutes not like some of those other places that are always late or lost. Anyways they got my order right the pizza was terrific and the wings where terrific and the delivery guy was great to. One more bonus was that they don't charge you extra if you have to pay with debit or credit which is an awesome thing. I will definitly order from here again and i will tell people i know to order here and try there food. Best pizza ever. Great pizza .\nHot and fresh ; walk in special was perfectly cooked. \nWill be coming back for sure. Very rude over the phone. We called to ask, if they deliver to our area and the person who answered the phone just answered 'No.Thanks, bye!' and hung up even before we got a chance to ask another question. Too bad for them, they've just lost our family as a customer. I try to order my 3 toppings pizza and it looked amazing. I took the bite and wow the flavour just exploded in my mouth. The owner was very nice to his customers and great customer service. Inside it was clean and so as the washrooms. I would definitely come back. | italian | 12,530 |
Restaurent name is: KFC
review: I have never been inside only drive thru. It is the local KFC for the keele area I only choose this one if the one near my house in Brampton is going to close. If I could give this place a zero, I would. The customer service is horrible. I ordered a chicken bowl last night and the mashed potatoes itself was COLD. It was "warm" on the outside, so once I tried to eat it, not only was it cold, it was DISGUSTING. Like food that\'s been spoiled from sitting out all day long. I had to drive back to inform them and they had the audacity to put it back in the microwave and then give it back to me. I then find out this chicken bowl has tomatoes and lettuce inside because this KFC is also a Taco Bell. Why are you contaminating from food with other ingredients that shouldn\'t be in it? Customer service at this place is horrendous. The way it\'s managed seems so terrible that they can actually serve disgusting plates that aren\'t even made properly and then actually call it food. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. This KFC is also a Taco Bell. \nThe people who work here are beyond incompetent! \nI waited in the drive thru line for 30 minutes today with only one vehicle in front of me. Clearly that individual made a large order, but instead of telling him to pull over until they bring it out to him, they just left him there holding up the line. \nEvery time I come here they get the order wrong. They also HATE when you ask for more than 2 packets of hot sauce. \nThe last time i got a poutine here there was soooo many cheese curds and hardly any gravy. \nIts sad that theres so few Taco Bells out there.... i guess thats why people keep coming to this one. \nReally bad location with horrible staff. \nI do not recommend coming here. It's a convenient location right beside the Walmart and Scotia Bank. A Keele bus stop right outside. The cashiers here are friendly. The food is just typical KFC, just like all the others. There is a Taco Bell attached. One word: gross!\n\nWent to their drive-thru to pick up few pieces to take home around 10:50pm (I believe close to their closing hour). Ordered 8 pcs but upon checkout I found out they sent 12 pcs to be cooked and billed me for it. Ok fine, I took the extra pieces as the hassle to get them correct the order wasn't worth it for me.\n\nOnce they handed me the take out bag, my whole car was filled with a nasty burnt smell and not the usual fried chicken smell you would normally get. I suspect either they had to recook the order because it was sitting out for a while considering it was closing time anyway or they badly needed an oil change.\n\nWhen I got home, a 3 min drive from their location, I immediately inspect the chicken. It was hot so I know it just came off the deep fryer but what shocked me was the quality of the chicken. They weren't like what you would normally get: crispy skins and reasonably seasoned. What I got was not the case as it was soggy and drenched with oil. Some pieces look like they weren't even cooked properly as the skin was just oily, mushy and under cook yuck! \n\nI was contemplated to just going back to return their products but had a feeling they would be closed so I tried to call their restaurant immediately but nobody would pickup. I assume they didn't want to take anymore calls.\n\nSo I suck it up and made the best out of a bad experience and tried to eat what ever pieces that looked like they were edible. Big mistake! The breading on some of the pieces had no flavour what so ever and all I tasted was flour and a burnt after taste, really awful and a huge turned off. On top of that, my order of gravy looked old and barely warmed when I got home.\n\nReally regret going to this place. Wished I would just drive 5 mins down the street to the nearest Popeye location as they never failed on their chicken. \n\nI would NEVER return to this place EVER! Why send such garbage food to a customer who have frequent their drive through in the past. I understand I might have been the last person to take the order but if you can't even deliver reasonable product to your customer, just tell them you were closed for the night.\n\nPics of their product taken right after I took them out of the box doesn't do justice. They really are gross and oily as shit! | american (traditional) | 12,531 |
Restaurent name is: Third Base
review: There was a time when I wrote this place off because I got a burned burger. That was a couple of years ago and I decided to try it again since it is just a half mile from my home. I've been there twice in the past month and absolutely love the carnitas tacos . . . they were delicious both times. My favorite server is Rizzo; he is charming, funny, and keeps the food and drinks coming. The Saturday night karaoke is fun too! I mainly come here for drinks and haven't actually had any of their food. The bartenders are always nice and they keep a good selection of beers on draft. There is plenty of seating for small or large parties along with a patio. The view of the lake is pretty cool and smoker friendly. They have pool tables and off track betting so they can definitely get busy (cover charge for popular horse race days) at times. The parking situation is horrible for the area, but the restaurant itself is pretty clean. I don't like how they have the mobile music jukebox and walk up pay stand because the bartenders use their phone anyways and it's annoying to switch back and forth. Choose one and stick with it... I wouldn't recommend this place. Went here on a Sunday to have a drink and eat some wings. It's an OTB, and there's a lot of trash hanging out near the front blocking the entrance to the bar. The wings tasted like they were a frozen purchase from Fry's. The beer was good, but kind of pricey for a Sunday afternoon. I won't go back. I came here with the family for Game 1 of the 2013 World Series. We're huge Red Sox fans and live 'round the corner, so it made sense to come here since its a Boston sports bar. The service was pleasant, drinks were reasonably priced, and the food was great. We had buffalo wings to start off and fish and chips and burgers for entrees. Typical bar food, but I thought it tasted great and the pretzel buns on the burgers was an interesting twist. No complaints.\n\nBottom line: If you like casual sports bars with good deals, this is a great place. Bonus points if you're a fan of Boston sports! This place is a rip-off. I stopped in to make a bet on the Preakness and they made me pay $3. I was in this establishment all of a minute. At least they could have given me a soda. | american (traditional) | 12,532 |
Restaurent name is: Restaurant Anh-Tai
review: Food was really not good - definitely not authentic. "Vietnamese coffee" was horrible (very bland - don\'t believe it was made properly using the filter). The "soup meal" was so bad...broccoli & cauliflower?? Would definitely NEVER go back - stay away! Would rather eat at Tim Hortons! Great food and great service at this family run business! Don't know what the negative reviewers are going on about. I've been dining at this restaurant for about 15 years and have always had a great meal. Moreover, the many friends and family members I've invited to join me over the years have always given the restaurant rave reviews. I've even had dates at Anh-Tai! My absolute favourite dish is the lemon chicken in spicy sauce: the lightly spicy sauce is so deliciously yummy! The cashew chicken, ginger beef, spring rolls and fried bananas are also favourites. Do check it out. You won't regret it! Run! Run away as fast as you can!! \nWow! One of the worst foods I've ever had. Really. It was so bad, I couldn't eat it. After a few bites, I paid the bill and left the restaurant hungry. I've had many mediocre Asian meals since I've moved to Montreal from L.A., but this, by far was the worst food I've ever had in my life. \nThe server truly has no heart in this job. I ordered imperial rolls appetizer. I had to ask for chop sticks- I'm Asian...I'm like, dude, what Asian in right frame of mind would eat Vietnamese food with fork and spoon????\nThe imperial rolls were greasy and bland. All you can taste was cabbage. I also asked the server if they had pho. He pointed out at some chicken noodle soup so I thought I would give it a try.(in their defense, it did not say pho, but he didn't tell me that wasn't pho, he just said that was it) When I got it, it was definitely NOT pho, but some bland noodle soup with cheap cooked chicken, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and carrots thrown on top. The taste? What taste? It had no flavor. Did they forget to put MSG or whatever they use to flavor the soup? \nI don't even know what that was but definitely not pho, and even if it wasn't, it had absolutely no flavor to it. \nI don't understand how anyone can eat here and think its remotely close to being authentic. I'm sure the owners are enjoying cheating & making money off of people who has no clue what Vietnamese food is supposed to taste like. This place is a scam! How can they feed such bad food and call it a business? People need to stop giving money away to business like this. If you got money to waste on Ahn-Tai, give it to charity!! Shit! Shit! Shit! Excuse my language. They try to serve you whatever crap they call food and have you pay a crazy amount of money for it. Everything changed when they bought the place from the original owners. If you're craving some americanize vietnamese food and you're in the West Island, you might want to try something else! Heck! You're better of with some pizza from Mory's! But i've very recently heard that the owner is closing the restaurant. Now that's a great news! Another unfortunate lunch experience! I just don't understand how on earth could they continue to be in business? I had the brochette of beef, which comes with an imperial roll and some salad. There was no flavour whatsoever in the beef, and tough! I could have soled a shoe with it!! The fish sauce fell short as well Their soup is also forgettable. The fried banana was the only edible thing we had. Take note, don't waste your money here. | canadian (new) | 12,533 |
Restaurent name is: Fuji San
review: I gave this sushi place a try, since it's around Summerlin(where I live). It was a to-go order. The sushi were not well made. They rolls don't look presentable. One of the rolls I got is a salmon roll. To my surprise, the salmon is cooked not fresh. We love fuji san! It is family owned and Yani is the one waitress there everyday. She is quick, remembers what you order when you come back a couple times and very friendly. The sushi is great and fresh. We moved to the southwest and have tried some sushi places out here but we still make the 20 minutes drive to fuji san when we want AYCE sushi. I was looking for a place near my job at the time where i can get some sushi since i was craving it so badly. I ordered a simple Rainbow Roll and Dragon Roll to go and was surprised by the size of the roll. I was so used to going to Sushi Mon or Ra sushi, where they stuff a little more than needed Imitation crab meat to make the rolls look bigger, that when i saw the size of this roll, i thought i was being scammed. However, there was a nice balance between the rice, veggies and fish that it was pleasantly enjoyable. So i recommended the family to go here for dinner on another day and we did the AYCE special for lunch. They were surprised at the quality of the fish and the fact that you got smaller rolls so you can enjoy more variety than be stuffed with imitation meat. You are allowed to order half rolls if you aren\'t sure if you\'d like it or not. Their appetizers menu is part of the AYCE special as well. This was were i tried one of my very first baked rolls! My first thought was..."uh...baked? as in hot sushi rolls?"...and i must say it was to die for. It was a California roll with scallops baked with cream cheese on the top and dressed with yum yum sauce. it literally melted in my mouth! The staff is attentive and helping with any questions you might have. I frequent here with the family once in a while. If you haven\'t been here yet, I\'d give it a go. Don\'t forget to try their baked rolls, some awesome stuff!!!! You can get some seriously good ayce at this joint. It's good, clean, and when the entire menu is ayce--you can't go wrong. \n\nI like the fact that its in a strange place. I also like the fact that it's a female sushi San.\n\nTry this place and you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is usually one of my favorite sushi places to hit up for the AYCE special, however my frequent visit here last week didn't have me leaving there impressed as usual. \n\nI decided to go there for lunch with my dad, and it wasn't the best experience. The moment we were seated, the waitress was persistent. We haven't had the chance to really look at the menu and she was already asking for orders. I usually like to order two things at a time, but she was constantly asking if we wanted to order more. Seriously? the service lacked major that day. \n\nBut aside from the service, some of the sushi rolls weren't that great. The baked rolls as usual were good, also the shrimp tempura was great as always. You could tell the sashimi on top the Rainbow roll was frozen, that semi frozen semi thawed texture didn't do good for that roll. And the rice seemed semi dry. \n\nThis was a bummer since this is a place i like to frequent, but hopefully this was just a wack day for them!\n\nOn the plus side tho, they do have Punch Cards now! | japanese | 12,534 |
Restaurent name is: Thai Origin
review: My husband and I lived in Hollywood for 3 years right in the heart of Thai Town, so after moving back to Cleveland we have been missing our Thai fix. We went to Thai origin this evening and I must say that the panang curry was on par with our favorites back in Hollywood. I also loved that I was able to get a spicy tuna roll as an appetizer to quench my craving for sushi as well. This will be a new regular for me. Very light and tasty crispy spin rolls and amazing Pad Thai! I also enjoyed the sushi If you like brown Thai food this is the place for you!\nHad carry out from this place after reading positive reviews was really disappointed with Pad Thai and Pad See Yew. Both dishes were horrible practically inedible and strangely brown. I added beef to my Pad Thai which seemed to have the consistency of beef jerky. Normally I'm a big beef jerky fan but its not so good with rice noodles. My friend had Pad See Yew which he compared to opening a can of Pedigree and dumping it into a cheap Styrofoam container. He originally said Fancy Feast cat food but after reflection changed to Pedigree.\n\nOn the bright side the place looks nice and the staff was friendly and the summer rolls were passable. I got take-out. We were pregaming for the movie "Funny People" at Grouchos next door. My friends once spotted a woman with 2 hooks at Grouchos, so it has become the place to go before seeing a movie. The sort of place where you spot a woman using one of her hooks to smoke is not the sort of place you want to dine. I got take-out from Thai Origin. I ordered the red curry and chicken. It was very tastey, but in retrospect, thai curry is not the sort of thing you want to sneak into a movie. Perhaps I should have asked for a spork, rather than the chopsticks. I did make it out of the movie without spilling so I must be getting better at chopsticks. DO NOT GO! New owner, TERRIBLE SERVICE & small portions. We went based on the online reviews but those reviews are old and based on the last owner. Party of 6, we waited 15 to be seated when there were open tables everywhere. Ordered 3 small rolls and waited 20 minutes for our food to come out. No napkins or plates were given to us, we had to ask for them. Then our food came out on 1 platter despite there being 3 separate orders at the table. Our one friend was told he could not order what he wanted because they were out. Left alone for over 20 minutes after that. Asked for bills when random waiter walked by and then 20 more minutes went by before our waitress came by to ask if we wanted our bills. Worst sushi restaurant we have been to in the area & will NEVER go back. Sushi was below average on taste & especially on portions. Talked with friends who said that new owner has no idea what she is doing and fired everyone when she bought the place in order to save money. Ruined our night. | thai | 12,535 |
Restaurent name is: Sushi Garden
review: The food is delicious which is why I keep going back but unfortunately the place looks very very dirty. When at the teppenyaki table there isn't much of a show, just more of cooking in front of you. Other restaurants definitely do a better job in that area. We called to make a reservation, however it seems that Thursday\'s are not too busy. We were seated immediately after entering the restaurant by a very pleasant waitress. Three of us ordered from the Teppanyaki menu and my husband ordered from the Sushi menu.\n\nThe drinks, salads and soups arrived quickly and I must say that we all enjoyed the dressing on the green salad. The Miso soup arrived steaming and flavored perfectly.\n\nThe boys loved the sushi, making comments like "so much better than AYCE" and "excellent red tuna". \n\nWe then sat back and watched the show. From the freshly prepared fried rice, seared salmon, shrimp and scallops and the sauteed vegetables, we were entertained. Our chef took the time to season the courses perfectly and wait for our reaction to each dish.\n\nIf your looking for something a bit different in Newmarket, I would highly recommend trying out Sushi Garden. Be sure to make reservations if coming on a weekend.\n\nTips: the table can hold 12 people, so it makes a perfect group outing. Unless you want horrible slow service and terrible food I wouldn't go to this place. We ordered an unagi handroll, veggie tempura maki, ton katsu and pork katsu curry. We were not greeted or seated for 5 mins. Then it took another 15 mins to order the food. Handroll and tempura maki was ok. It took more than half an hour for our dinner to arrive. Ton Katsu and pork cats curry were disastrous. I had to send my curry back since it was the WORST I've ever had in my life. The server told me that it was cooks second day, the server himself just told the cook how to make the curry! In my honest opinion, you should not serve food that your cook doesn't know how to make. Lastly, we couldn't get the server on our table for another half an hour to ask for the bill. 1 HOUR and 30 MINUTES later I left the restaurant hungry and disappointed. In conclusion, wouldn't go there again, wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm new moving to Newmarket and first time here, horrible and won't back, forget their sushi. Great customer service! Great food for a great price! He gave me free Miso soup with 9 California Sushi rolls and Shrimp Tempura for 11.00! - Lunch time. | japanese | 12,536 |
Restaurent name is: Rainforest Caf\xc3\xa9
review: Okay..... So I know that in some of my reviews I may have complained about food, service, or a small combination of things.... Ha well, guess what.. You are about to read about all of the above. The in-laws came into town last night and wanted to go to the strip tonight and since we had our daughter with us they decided on the Rainforest Cafe for Dinner. We walked up to the counter and the the older gentleman working the desk looked at us and counted us on his fingers and I think he was about to pull his shoes off and start counting toes, Keep in mind there was 4 and a baby..... As we stand there we can count 8 open tables and we are the only people waiting for a table. The guy then tells us that the wait will be 10 to 15 minutes. For what, I could not tell you, so while waiting we let our daughter stair at the fish tanks near the entrance until she was tired of making the fishy face and tormenting the fish by tapping on the glass. Finally they came to tell us that they had a table for us. We then walk to our table that has absolutely no view of any of the animaltronics. Don\'t get me wrong, I know that we were not really visiting a Rain Forest and the teenagers in Steve Erwin\'s hand me downs are not real guides but the last time I ate a Rainforest cafe they attempted to seat families with children near the animals and scenery. Ten minutes or so after being seated the waitress approached our table and the first thing she asked was, "so were are you all from?" As soon as we said Vegas, she may as well have taken off the safari hat and moved onto another jungle because that was almost the last time we saw her, I don\'t know were that attitude comes from because honestly, being from here I would probably tip her better than a out of town-er since I am not there to scimp on my meal to save money for a Leaning tower of margarita or the spin to win penny slots. I read the menu and realized that they give you lays potato chips with your $14 BBQ Chicken Wrap.. What the hell is that about? Excuse me Safari guide did you just say $2.49 extra for french fries? To make this extremely long rant a little shorter, i will say between the 4 adults and 1 child we spent $7.50 to add fries, got $5.00 worth, also at some point our "guide" fell off the safari truck and somehow made it back on at the end of the long dusty non animal existent ride just when it was time to collect the $80 for this ridiculous experience.. I was pretty irritated and could have put on my own Gorilla pounding on the chest show by the time we left. I would rather of went to the McDonald\'s on the strip and watched the Herds of Human cattle and had a much better meal and sat right under the arches. My 8 yr old daughter really wanted to eat at Rainforest after passing by it dozens of times during our many trips to Vegas. We were seated right away but it took 10 minutes for our waiter to notice we were there. He was very nice. Lance, I think. \n\nThe prices are pretty high. Kids meals are $10 each. Yikes. My daughter ordered popcorn shrimp and fries that were pretty decent. I ordered the quesadilla appetizer (because I refuse to pay $16 to $19 for pasta or a burger). It was pretty good but I would have liked the salsa or part of it to be a little spicier. \n\nOh, and another LV restaurant with $4 sodas. Also, my feet literally stuck to the floor under my table. Yuck. My daughter really enjoyed looking around at all the animals and thought the thunderstorm was pretty cool. \n\nOverall, not a bad experience. I don't think I'll go back, but I won't totally count it out. this place is fun to go to, but I think it fits in more with a Disneyland vacation. something about it being in Las Vegas that just seems out o place. \n \nfood was ok. service was good. was a bit tired of hearing them point out the restrooms. guess that's the price you pay for sitting near the entrance; although it did prove helpful seeing that I knew exactly where to go to wash my hands. The Rainforest Cafe is a wonderfully themed restaurant. I am all for animal themes, and this does not disappoint in that area. There's a large elephant animatronic that trumpets, a large fish tank, indoor waterfalls, etc. Kids will love the atmosphere.\n\nUnfortunately, other than its awesome environment, it has little to recommend itself. The food is average but at majorly high prices. I ordered an entree because it was cheap at $16 and received a plate of pasta covered in tomato sauce. This was something I could have easily made at home. This really isn't a great place for families as the resulting dinner tab will be very expensive. I feel like you are paying for the atmosphere, but that at least the quality of food could be better. After a 30-minute wait in line, we were seated. The time passed quickly for my daughter as there was a lot to look at - not so fast for me because I was hungry.\n\nI ordered the turkey sandwich that did a number on my stomach a couple hours later. Thankfully, it was quick and painless. I'm even more thankful that the Bellagio has easily accessible bathrooms throughout their hotel.\n\nService was prompt and courteous. The child-friendly vibe was appreciated, but the exorbitant prices were not. Kids meals start at $9.99 and a basic burger will run $15. In my opinion, not worth the trouble when there are other options nearby. | american (traditional) | 12,537 |
Restaurent name is: Marie Callender's
review: The Sunday buffet is heavy on cheese dishes. The omelets are rubbery, and you only have a choice of six ingredients. Service is terrible. When we ate at the buffet, we were virtually ignored. When we returned and ordered from the menu, (why, I don\'t know), it took 25 minutes to get a menu and they weren\'t busy. We got menus only when they saw us preparing to walk out. They said, "Oh, it\'s Marcella," hinting that that was the usual experience. The food is pretty good (for plain old, kinda boring American food), but WAYYYY overpriced. I had a bowl of soup and a water for $8. A bowl of soup! That's crazy.\n\nI'm not sure why people eat here! If you just want plain jane American food, there are plenty of other places to go that won't empty your wallet. Expecting the worst isn't always bad, cuz you might be pleasantly surprised when it's good, and that's cool.\n\nUsually, I avoid chain restaurants like the plague, especially a place like Marie Callendar's, cuz the food is hit or miss, and in my experience - more miss than hit. However, this morning we were in a big group, and we are in Vegas, so I went with the flow.\n\nI decided to order the California Benedict - poached eggs, fresh tomato, avocado on english muffin, hollandaise on the side, and crispy hash browns on the side. I gobbled down the whole dang thing in a flash. I remained quite satisfied the whole day even though we ended up having a late lunch. We are gonna go back for breakfast at MC tomorrow morning as well...Since we missed dinner tonight, I can't wait!\n\nThe only weird point was, the waitress filled out the tip and total on the bill (extra 15%), since we had 14 people. Her loss too, cuz the service was very good, especially considering we didn't call ahead for our 14 people...I was planning on tipping her extra. Marie Callender's food is very predictable. If you want a culinary adventure, go elsewhere. If you want a chicken pot pie (and if you want one, you aren't really worring about the calories, fat or sodium content) and a slice of pie for dessert, it ain't bad. What bumped this particular Marie Callender's up a notch was one of the waitresses. I wish I'd bothered to get her name. She's on the tall side, has hair long enough to put in a ponytail, and a New York accent. She's perfect for this location and clientele, which runs to at least half senior citizens based on my visit. She speaks loudly and clearly enough for everyone to hear her, is amazingly efficient and alert, and does one heck of a job selling the menu. I'm not a demanding customer, but I do like to just sit back and watch a great waitress do her thing once in a while, and this gal was great. We didn't get to eat the food here but instead were able to buy the pies on Thanksgiving day. Peach, Pecan, and Pumpkin were the selections for Thanksgiving dinner and none disappointed.\n\nI was pleased with the way they had things for the TG day rush - a tent set up outside that was open on both ends. Get your pies while walking through and then pay at the end which opened back up to the parking lot.\n\nNow if I could have only eaten breakfast there... | american (traditional) | 12,538 |
Restaurent name is: Filiberto's Mexican Food
review: So.... a friend and I order, to eat in and I request if there could be more fresh chips put out. Was TOLD, if you order fresh chips and pay, no problem, but to MAKE FRESH CHIP THAT ARE OUT FOR FREE, NO!??! WHY? Because 'she' didn't have time to make any, (counting ALL the patrons on 1hand). Wait! If I was to order and PAY for fresh chips @$1.20 versus NOT HAVING TIME TO MAKE A FRESH BATCH????? Strike 2... when there's a strike 3, you're OUT! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! When they gave us our order, which was green chili plate, half of it was cold. We asked if we could exchange it with something else and we would pay extra and they refused. We asked for the persons name who refused to exchange it out and then also refused this. While eating the plate we found hair in the rice and showed the employee and then she said she can't believe us now. When they first opened they were great. The employees they have now are worthless for the $10 an hour they are getting paid to mess up our food. We will never come here again. I wish I could rate the chain as a whole. I have been to this specific store several times and it\'s just what I expect every time. This is a no-frills restaurant that specializes in increasing your LDL levels. If you\'re expecting healthy options, you have come to the wrong place. I\'d like to say that this is the "McDonald\'s" of Mexican food, but I feel like it would be an insult to Filiberto\'s. \n\nI have lived all over the U.S. and visited as far south as Central America, but I have never found a place that can deliver a carne asada burrito (or any variation of one) like Filiberto\'s. This specific restaurant has solid customer service and delivers a tasty meal every time. My bf and I always order the carne asada fries from this Filiberto's in particular. We personally like the fries, perfect size and cut. The asada is also cooked well and taste so good especially with sour cream + guacamole + cheese. Sometimes there is a line in the drive way but they are usually pretty fast. I love their green and red salsa! we also tried their rolled tacos and they're good too! Haven't eaten at Filiberto's in quite awhile but when they opened in Laveen decided to give it another try. It has been a couple of years since I had eaten there. This new location in Southern is clean and the employees are friendly. Food was much better than the food I had been served before. It was hot, fresh, and tasted great. I will definitely be going back! | mexican | 12,539 |
Restaurent name is: Portofino's
review: This is one of the two better locations of the local Portofino's chain. It's a nicely laid out and nicely decorated with an Italian village style (go figure!). \n\nThe food is consistently good here whether it's the lasagna, pizza or salad and they have a decent wine selection. And I LOVE their house salad dressing here...here's a tomato based creamy Italian. It's also good as a dipping sauce on the bread.\n\nThe only thing I didn't like is the servers seemed to be hawking over you in this location. But the last time I was there, they weren't that busy so maybe they were looking for something to do. I ordered lasagna. What I was served was NOT lasagna. It was some kind of pasta border with soupy ground beef drenched with cheese and a soupy tomato sauce. The soupiness of this concoction combined with the fact that it lost heat rapidly makes me strongly suspect that it was microwaved from frozen. The sad thing is that a few years ago this restaurant actually baked a real lasagna (fresh) that was excellent.\n\nWhen I spoke with the manager, he embarrassed himself by claiming vehemently that what I had been served was a lasagna. I sent it back and went with his suggested replacement of their Chicken Portofino. This dish was possibly rushed, because the other members of my party had been served and were dining. However, I was not impressed with this dish either. The chicken was flat and rather plain despite little specks of what should have been spices. When I say the chicken was flat, that is literal. It was not a chicken breast or any other recognizable piece of a chicken, but an elongated, very flat piece of meat, which was also not very hot even when delivered to the table.\n\nWhen the check arrived, it was for the full price of my wife's dinner and the second dish I was served. When the waiter picked them up for payment I asked to him to mention to the manager whether or not he thought the poor food preparation should result in an adjustment to the check, but that it was up to them. The waiter returned with all the checks of our party and handed them out without comment to me, and without an adjustment to the check. While I did not demand an adjustment, I just thought that this was poor customer service and rather without class. If he asked the manager and the manager declined to make an adjustment, the waiter should have discussed the resolution with me and apologized for my bad experience.\n\nI won't return to that restaurant. Had a wonderful dinner there recently. Very good food, service, ambiance, and price. I'm hooked. We used to go to the location in Mooresville all the time before it closed down. Something made us think of it, and we decided to head down to Charlotte to give this one a try and be a bit nostalgic. \n\nWe opted for an early dinner and went around 5. The place wasn't very busy but definitely was getting busy when we were leaving. We were seated promptly and our server was very friendly but seemed a bit scattered. \n\nWe got the affettato for an appetizer which is basically just Italian meats and cheeses. It was tasty. For entr\xc3\xa9es we split the florentina pizza which had pesto, spinach, chicken, and ricotta. Tasty, but could have used more ricotta. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Stromboli. We got sausage and pepperoni. This thing was huge and delicious. My mom also got the Gorgonzola pasta, which she said she loved. \n\nThe pizza is good, not great but the Stromboli and calzones are awesome and huge. Also their meat and cheese appetizers (they have a few) are very good. It's actually rather inexpensive, especially for the portion sizes. We'd definitely be back if it was closer to home, but it was quite tasty and a good experience overall. I needed to update my review to give Portofino every one of the 4 stars that they deserve after a delicious dinner I had the other night - YUM!\n\nThe food:\nComplimentary bread: It's bread - can you make a meal out of bread and butter? I totally can - and we easily ate 2 of the smallish loaves of the warm bread. Served with butter (in the bottom of the container that it is served in), but is also good dipped in whatever marinara, alfredo, etc. that you have with your meal. Crunchy on the outside, soft and carby on the inside.\n\nMozzarella sticks: Nothing fancy or unusual. The crunchy coating was mildly seasoned, they were dusted with parmesan cheese and served with a cup of the marinara. Everything blended well and was quite good.\n\nSalad: I had them leave off the onions and green olives (then picked the tomatoes off myself). Fresh ingredients served with a creamy blue cheese dressing. The other reviews stated how delicious the house dressing is - I may try that on my next visit (and there will be a next visit!).\n\nBoscaiola - prosciutto and peas in a pink sauce served on your choice of pasta (I chose cappellini). HUGE serving, that was brought to the table smoking hot - DELICIOUS! I had enough for dinner that night, and dinner the next night. It reheated beautifully, though was definitely better fresh.\n\nLimoncello cake - light layers of cake with a whipped frosting, with a definite lemon flavor. It was a nice sweet finish to a delicious meal.\n\nThe wait staff was wonderful - drinks were kept filled, multiple loaves of fresh/hot bread were brought, everyone was smiling and friendly, and they let me and Candyce sit there for 3 1/2 hours yapping away. What a wonderful evening! | italian | 12,540 |
Restaurent name is: Jardin De Jade Poon Kai Restaurant
review: Big portions. Low prices. Low quality. Basically, quantity over quality.\n\nThe restaurant offers buffet or takeout. The buffet is relatively cheap, and the cheapness is reflected in the quality of the food. Likewise for the takeout, they give you huge portions for a low price at the expense of quality.\n\nI recommend the takeout if you're looking for a quick and cheap eat, but I would keep my expectations low. I wouldn't recommend the buffet. The best anything got here for me was vaguely acceptable, at a normal Chinese buffet I don't expect much but this place was still a disappointment, I couldn't even finish one plate of food, do yourself a favor and eat at one of the many other Chinese restaurants instead. Worst food I ever had. How can a Chinese buffet in China town be so bad. Service food even deserts were awful. They use the cheapest meats and quality of everything else is just bad. Everything I tried I would take a bite or 2 and realize over cooked or undercooked. Just waiting now for sickness. This place was horrid! When we arrived, the table mats had dirt stains on it, and we contemplated wether to give it a try. Ultimately we did sigh. There's several tables with varying choices of food. I picked out a few random things and my stomach started hurting afterwards. Compared to other all you can eat spots I've gone to in the states, this had less choices and non existent steamed options. At phone point I picked out ice cream and ended up biting into a piece of what looked like from a table. My friend and I only made it to 2 and half plates, so the money was not worth it at all. This place is really good if you know at what time to go. They have different prices depending on the time, and trust me, you don't want to go there for dinner. At dinner time the food has already been sitting there for a long time and it will probably be soggy or cold, BUT, if you go there at around 2 or 3pm it will be cheaper and it will be delicious. Their hot&sour soup is great, they have lots of vegetarian options, a noodle soup bar, even pizza and sushi. You'll eat a lot and you'll have a good meal for cheap if you go there early. Don't expect gourmet Chinese food, of course, it's not that type of place. | chinese | 12,541 |
Restaurent name is: Grand Pizza
review: Never been here never going. Because some idiot doesn't know what a no soliciting sign is. Put another thing on my door I'm gonna drive over there and shove it down the managers throat First time ordering from this place, pizza came hot and on time! The delivery driver was curteous, the food was pretty good, even my picky boys agreed!! This restaurant has amazing food. However, My family new to Vegas have been looking for a really good pizza place and this is what happened. Delivery took an hour and a half long. My sister called to ask when could we expect our delivery. The agent on the line replied with, "shortly, but you live kinda far..soooooo." That is something no business should say to patrons. Also considering Grand Pizza offers delivery to our part of the city. finally the pizza arrives and we realize there were only 8 slices for a large pizza! We paid $31.93 for 8 slices.The pizza is an 18" Buffalo chicken pizza $24.00, $1.00 processing fee (ok sure whatever), Delivery charge $3.95, and tax fee $2.03. Seriously can I get at least 12 slices total for that price! Geez! Can I get a satisfying pizza joint? My friend\'s 8 year old could eat this pizza alone! My son had kids over and he only had two kids and one kid didn\'t even get a slice! (In my Al Pacino voice). Would be the case if I had kids. \nAbout 1 hour from the time a family of 6 eats 8 huge slices my sister called Grand pizza aka Grand Italia to express the shenanigans. The agent said the Extra large is 6 more slices bigger and to go ahead and call the manager tomorrow cause there isn\'t anything they can do (did not like the tone in her voice). She said she is pretty sure the manager will say the same thing. Does she not understand the frustration of waiting a long time, to be told we live to far which its like well decline the delivery if you really do not want to deliver here. How unexceptionally rude. \nThen an hour later Ashley called back to say we will receive 40-50 % off the next order. Just please people pause and think for a second. \n2 stars for the shenanigans! After the call should I change the review? Only because the food is awesome I will give one more star and the effort of fixing the issue LATER when it should have been rectified from the beginning. The problem with moving, in my mind, is becoming accustomed to your new side of town, even in such a smaller place like Las Vegas. I'm the sort of person that really likes routine until I don't for a grand total of two seconds and then I immediately want my routine back. With that said, on the South side of town, I had my usual Chinese food delivery place, my usual grocery store within walking distance that had all of my favorite items and my usual non-franchise pizza place. Fast forward to my move to the Northwest part of town and I no longer have any of my comfort places within walking distance let alone near enough to have anything delivered.\n\nI came home from work and found a menu for this place at my front door. I, first, checked out their reviews and was impressed enough to give them a try. Not even three weeks into living in my new house and I've officially found my new non-franchise pizza place.\n\nThe service was amazing and the food is so good! They delivered quickly and the entire order was done to perfection. I highly recommend giving this place a go...be prepared to make it the top menu in your take-out drawer. Love the food! Great delivery! Listened to every special request! Will definitely order from them again! Recommend for sure! | italian | 12,542 |

review: I ate at this place, when I was at Charlotte - Douglas International Airport. The very moment I finished eating the not-so-good food, it felt like something was stuck in my throat. I thought it was rice or something, but apparently, nothing was stuck in my throat. I realized later on that I got a sore throat from that food that I ordered. Now, I have very bad colds. I'm not eating in this place again. NEVER AGAIN. Fine substitute for ipecac. \n\nAvoid at all costs: this is the worst of all airport food. Anything looks delicious and reasonably priced after you've eaten Manchu Wok. Chinese food sounded good as soon as we stepped off the plane. How bad can you really mess up orange chicken?\n\nWhat I (regretfully) swallowed:\n\nCOMBO PLATE: ORANGE CHICKEN WITH STEAMED VEGGIES AND WHITE RICE: I was not sure what I was eating. Is there even any chicken in there? It was just huge clumps of heavily breaded something then heavily doused with sauce. Then I had a look at my veggies: Why are my carrots outlined in black? Why are my squash a darker shade of brown? \nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manchu-wok-charlotte-2?select=LiXWBRUvJdzN_MwAwHc5Og#rkTb1FSUS1BqLNj7waAPZQ\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/manchu-wok-charlotte-2?select=LiXWBRUvJdzN_MwAwHc5Og#LiXWBRUvJdzN_MwAwHc5Og\n\nThis wasn't a good idea at all. I was praying I didn't get sick on the way home.\n\nStay away! Inedible. I left mad because I lost my short layover to the beef broccoli. Mushy fried rice, tough and bad tasting beef, broccoli dissolved to the touch. Well you shouldn't really expect too much from airport Chinese food, honestly. It will be expensive, it will be filled with grease, and you have to be really careful with picking what to eat because most of the food available will not taste good.\nI got fried rice, mixed vegetables and green beans. The fried rice was bland, the veggies were edible, but I thought that the green beans tasted quite decent. Granted I love green beans, it's really hard to mess them up, and I hadn't eaten anything for over 10 hours and I was starving. Ended up paying a little over $8 for all of this. \nI didn't think it was too too bad as I didn't have high expectations in the first place, but I wish I had read the yelp reviews beforehand; I'd have gone too BK or chilli's. | chinese | 12,543 |
Restaurent name is: La Fiesta
review: This is the Mexican restaurant that cleveland deserves! The al pastor and pescado tacos were fantastic! I've been waiting for a classic taqueria, with corn tortillas and horchata to open in the city for ever and La Fiesta has delivered on my hopes and dreams. Also, the staff was very nice and attentive. No alcohol is the only down side but maybe someday! Husband and I stopped in for a warm and inviting delicious lunch today. Food was over the top fantastic, every bite a taste sensation. We did tacos & tostadas- fish was was light but flavorful, marinated grilled chicken was moist and tasty, but the winner hands down was the pork marinated meat - "Al Pastor" DELICIOUS! Horchata was also very tasty along with their 3 home made salsas & the marinated veggies. Perfect lunch. Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I always get excited when I try new places that from first glance look nondescript but when you get inside the food is amazing and this place is no exception. I had a strong craving for some tacos and rice and beans so we decided to check this place out. I wanted to order everything on the menu but we decided on some queso and chips, chicken and two pork tacos with rice and beans for me, and fajitas for my boyfriend. The restaurant smelled wonderful and we couldn't wait to dig in to our food. The salsa had a smoky taste to it and the queso was on the thin side but warm and flavorful. They brought out two sauces for our food. One was green and mild and the other red and spicy. My tacos were simple but good and my boyfriends fajitas were pretty basic but good as well. I don't know why people need to overcomplicate the taco nowadays. Simple ingredients and great flavor are all you need. The star of the show however was the refried beans. Strange I know however these tasted homemade and had an amazing flavor to them that I don't even know how to describe. I would go back there just to have these refried beans again. I can't wait to go back and try all their other food options next time! I liked the look of this place from the road- brightly colored, older looking hacienda style like you\'d see in a neighborhood in Jalisco. I felt like I\'d have to step over la borrachon en el sombrero e poncho to get inside. Not too long ago in Rosarita, El Borrachon would have been me.\n\nI ordered tacos- dos de lengua e dos al pastor, (tongue and pork.) $3 each. Horchata, (sweet rice drink pronounced or- cha- ta.) $2. Chips and salsa, free. I ordered in Spanish too. That\'s always fun for me. I\'m a big, fat white guy that looks like Jim Gaffigan and learned Spanish from watching "Three Amigos" over and over.\n\nYou can\'t mess up tongue tacos. No trick there. They were good. The al pastor was good as well but I believe the pork was saut\xc3\xa9ed and not roasted. This makes a difference. Roasting is time consuming and more costly- but it is sooo worth it.\nThe chips were fresh made and ok. I wasn\'t crazy about the selection of tortillas. The salsa was not very good- very watery, not hot, not much flavor. I prefer a Sonoran style sauce that\'s the consistency of what people in the States use as hot sauce. Most Mexican restaurants in the States make a chunky salsa that\'s half salsa and half pico. This place seemed to be trying to "Americanize" their salsa by making it half salsa half pico. They had more traditional salsas in squeeze bottles though. They should have just served them instead- they were good.\n\nBottom line is the food was pretty good. I\'d eat there again. I do wish they had a "help yourself" salsa bar though, wth all the good stuff like cut radishes, roasted jalape\xc3\xb1os, cilantro and onion. Upside down Margarita service would be nice too. There\'s nothing like being force fed margaritas one ingredient at a time. Fantastic authentic Mexican food. I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. The Al Pastor (marinated pork) and Pescado (fish) tacos are my go to. | mexican | 12,544 |
Restaurent name is: Frank's Pizza House Restaurant
review: I had been there yesterday's night and was left disappointed. \nA guy who was making pizzas was very nice and welcoming and told me that I could have a seat. But the wait staff didn't seem to pay much attention to me throughout the whole time. I had to literally catch a girl with glasses to tell her that I was ready to order. Then apparently she messed up my order as I clearly ordered a deep fried calzone but received a baked one instead. Not to mention that I was waiting on it for an hour or so. Also, the girl never checked on me if everything was OK, though she checked on other table with a bunch of people who she was apparently familiar with. Naturally, I didn't feel like tipping her as she had definitely not deserved a penny.\nThat was quite a disappointing experience, especially after reading many positive reviews. Even though the food was pretty good, unfortunately I am reluctant to ever come back or recommend this place to anyone. Don\'t get me wrong, Frank\'s pizza was pretty good for pizza delivery. Way better than pizza pizza. But a few things brought my rating of Frank\'s down. \n\nFirst of all, tho\' I love a cheesy pizza, these just had too much. Each slice felt like it could be used for weight-lifting (which we would need after indulging in such gooey pizza!). It made for a very salty experience. My advice: go for un-salty topping at this place (rather than, say, olives) and you\'ll have a better experience. Also, the toppings themselves were just ok. We decided to splurge and ordered some rapini (a "gourmet topping" according to Frank\'s), but it was overcooked and stringy, rather than fresh with the slightly bitter bite that makes rapini so good.\n\nMost of all, though, it was just too darn pricey. For two extra large pizzas and two salads, we paid $77. Not bad for feeding 7 people, but still. For pizza?\n\nVegetarian score: 8/10. Totally average for a pizza place with a few nice extra veggie-friendly choices. You make a good pizza but, an extra $2.50 to use credit and no debit available for delivery? C'mon....it's 2017 and technology is available. You're good, but not THAT good.\n\nOne customer lost. best pizza i've had in a city that clearly isn't renown for its pies. haven't eaten in-house but the food we had delivered was consistently great, especially when compared to the alternatives in the area. the employees must have been a bit sketched out after my wife & i ordered 3 nights in a row following our first pleasant experience. recommended. We have been eating here since they opened on St. Clair West in 1995 (maybe?) and we moved onto Harvie Avenue, right around the corner. What can I say besides we have a great relationship that just keeps getting tastier!\n\nWe have used Frank's Pizza as catering for family parties at home, and also had parties in house. We recently packed the restaurant full for a memorial for my father. George and Mary always make it a great event. \n\nMy kids are always welcome in the restaurant or at the bar to watch the pizza construction. My partner and I love the easy service and variety of pizzas and entrees on the menu. Luckily we still live within the delivery range even though we moved a bit farther away.\n\nOur family recommends: marguerita pizza, calzone, salads, diavola pizza, quatro stagioni pizza, farfalle con salmone or for take out, the family size pizza is a steal for hungry kids. Frank's favours big Italian wines as the house vino, montepulciano and a pino grigio my mother always chooses. \n\nFrank's pizza is a big part of our neighbourhood - let's hope they stick around for another 20 years. | italian | 12,545 |
Restaurent name is: NoDa 101
review: This place is like a 3.5 but I rounded up cuz I'm feeling nice. Came here on a Saturday night during our bar hop while I was in town. It was crowded and seems to be pop with the locals. They had karaoke and people seemed really into it. I don't care for that stuff but it can be fun watching drunk people yell loudly. \n\nWell drinks were just 5 bucks and were super strong, so that was the best part obvz. They seem to have a good selection of beers as well. The atmosphere was kinda grimey... think King of the Hill meets Buckwild (different from the rest of the bars in NoDa). There are definitely some creeps here so watch your back, ladies. \n\nThe night I went, the girls' toilet in the bathroom would not flush. Barf. They also randomly charged my card a dollar like days after I had gone. It's not a big deal and it was one dollar but like... why. \n\nGood bar service even though it was busy. The bartenders were fast and attentive and the guy who made our drinks was pretty cute too haha. I'll prob never find myself in NC again, but would definitely come back here if I did. The bartenders are nice. Everyone is friendly. A smaller bar but a whole lot of fun. Karaoke all night. They also play some songs in between. Great place to go with friends. They are doing karaoke 7 nights a week now!\nNot much wait to sing on the slower nights; Mon, Tues and Wednesday. Came in with a large group just days after Christmas and Trish, the bar back and the karaoke DJ were welcoming and festive! We had a post Christmas gathering with friends and sang our fannies off. Trish and staff went ABOVE AND BEYOND pushing tables together and taking time to talk one-on-one. The night would not have been as memorable if it weren\'t for this stop! Thank you to "St Louis" as I forgot his name (the DJ) for getting us pumped to sing and also allowing group songs. Truly a memorable time with superb staff! Thanks again guys! This is the place to be in Noda! Great staff, karaoke Thursday through Sunday, TV's for sports and great drink specials! I love this bar! | american (traditional) | 12,546 |
Restaurent name is: Z-Teca
review: Z-teca really falling short even with my limited Burrito experience.\n\nOk I have Chino Locos... their Burritos are freaking awesome!! Something I dream about and I am down doomed... rating everything against theirs!\n\nZ-teca burritos I just cannot stand it! The grilled chicken I have hardly have any chicken inside. The wrapping is just so doughy and it is just stuffed with tons of blend tasting of rice and veggie...\n\nEven drowning it with hot sauce did not improve the taste at all! I love Todasco, if heavy dose of Todasco cannot revive this burritos...nothing will!!\n\nThe interior I find it a little cold.. with all the metals deco and the wooden chairs just downright uncomfortable!\n\nNo I will not be eating another Z-teca burrito even someone is buying! :) Since I live in Markham, there are not many Mexican or burrito joints, so when I saw Z-teca after hitting Fairview Mall one day, I was excited to try it. Their concept is huge burritos filled with a variety of toppings which range from chicken, beef, onions, cheese, corn and so on. Granted the size of the burrito is huge, but the price is huge as well, at least its a huge burrito instead of those dinky ones you get at Taco Bell but you pay 4 times more.\n\nThe burrito itself is pretty tasty but they add in a lot of rice, I guess to fill it to that impressive size that makes you think you are getting your money's worth. What I didn't like about Z-teca was that if you want extra toppings, they overcharge each topping so that a burrito could literally be 15 bucks, I mean like seriously....I get that you if want extra stuff you gotta pay but some stuff is meant to go in a burrito, and that's where they make that extra dollar or two.\n\nSumming it up, the burrito is good but it's not something that you would die without, like a moist chocolate chip cookie... This is probably one of the stingiest mexican fast food joints I've ever been too. When I first walked in I was like oh okay this is another chipotle and was impressed up until I had to basically pay extra for everything. I got the tofu burrito bowl and obviously wanted the peppers but they told me I had to pay extra for that OR substitute it with the tofu ??? Like what???I don't usually every finish burrito bowls in one sitting I eat it throughtout the day;this was so little I was able to eat it in one sitting. Anyways besides that the food wasn't all that great either. Maybe if you were less stingy with the food your business could sky rocket like chipotle. #takesomenotes Definitely a fair go to location for a packed and filling burrito. I went there on a Wednesday afternoon around 6pm. It was relatively empty, I had ordered nachos for app and my friends and I had ordered a burrito and two burrito bowls. \n\nI would say: don't order the nachos. It's not that many, it comes in the container of a burrito bowl. There are only so many chips, the cheese is only layered on the top and not spread out evenly and when I got the nachos, they weren't fully melted. There was one area that was a chunk of cheese, the rest was relatively dry. I would give the nachos a 1.5-2/5. However, I had the steak burrito and it was packed. And actually very well balanced. I had been doubtful since people seemed like there wasn't a lot of meat in them and a lot of rice. However, when I ordered it, it was well balanced, a scoop of rest, a scoop of everything else. By the end, as I was eating it, at no point did I feel like it was lopsided, and I was beyond full by the time I was done.\n\nMy friends both enjoyed their burrito bowls and said that they would return for the burrito bowl again because it's so filling and delicious.\n\nGood quick go-to, we left around 7/730 and by the time we left, three or four more tables were seated but it was never super busy at any point. Great place for a quick bite. I always order the tacos with chips combo. I have an obsession with mangos so i love that they have a mango salsa. The spicy salsa is a must if you can handle it! | mexican | 12,547 |
Restaurent name is: Panda Express
review: Tried this relatively new Panda Express on St Rose Pkwy. Upon entering, I was greeted with a "Hi, Welcome!", with all staff members making eye contact and smiling. This location has two TV monitors where I was able to sit, relax and enjoy the US open final between Serena Williams and Osaka. My only disappointment about this location was the portions served. I dined in and got half chow menu, half rice, orange chicken and mushroom chicken. The portions of the mushroom chicken and orange chicken were a bit skimpy. I literally finished eating those items in about 3 scoops. I don\'t mean to compare, but the Panda Express at downtown Summerlin gives generous portions. Not sure if they were being conservative because they were waiting for more of what I ordered to be cooked, or this is the new norm in terms of portions to be served for the side items. If this is so, then I will not eat at Panda as often as I have before. If it\'s just this location, then I will not be returning. Three stars for the friendly service, loss of two stars for portions. It's everybody's favorite fast food Chinese chain that opened in a conveniently located area where only Burger King and jack in the box dominated.\n\nLarge parking lot with entrances from both east and west directions\n\nCooks still trying to adjust to the pace of the customers, food looked like they were running out and not being stocked as fast as ive seen at other locations but hey they are brand new.\n\nThis location has a drive thru!! How convenient and not commonly seen! The window has a timer to remind the staff to keep things moving.\n\nI know if I'll be craving a quick bite, this'll be my first choice unless an in n out opens by here Been here 3 times and decided to write a review. The food is just ok, nothing special. Seems it was sitting under lamp for a while. The first 2 times they gave me a good portion but the 3rd time it was small and not worth 9 dollars. It seems it is mostly packed with construction workers. This is a brand new Panda Express Restaurant with drive thru and plenty of parking on St. Rose Parkway. Sorry to say we were disappointed with the food. Beef was very chewy in the beef with broccoli. Husband said his orange chicken and fried rice was very dry. We know from experience at other Panda Express restaurants this means food has been around for a while. The food is good at any Panda Express only when you get it when its made fresh so using the drive thru is a negative because you can't see the food. Positives were my potstickers were excellent and clearly cooked to order. The young girl working the drive thru was very nice. My husband and I visit Panda twice a week. Usually we go to the one on Eastern and Horizon Ridge. Since we moved to Inspirada, we decided to check this new Panda on St Rose (cuts 2 miles of our drive). They gave us less food than what we usually get. I ordered Noodles and 2 portions Kong Pao Chicken. It actually looked like one scoop. Also was less noodles in my plate. My husband ordered noodles, sesame chicken and orange chicken. He also ordered chicken string beans on the side and it was 2/3 way full. Very disappointing. Also cashier charged us wrong and we had to ask her to fix. | chinese | 12,548 |
Restaurent name is: Dakota
review: It was pretty packed on both Friday and Saturday nights of my visit last week. They play a mix of house and hip hop, which is nice. Definitely a place to at least check out once during a night out!\n\nUpdate: I had complained earlier that they charged me an extra $10 (that showed up on my bank account) after buying drinks. I contacted the bar and talked to the manager and he was very helpful. I still recommend keeping your receipts but I now feel more confident giving this place a better review! They have limited options for drinks, appetizers and main course. First time I was there at weekend with couple of friends for dinner but kitchen closed by 9:00 pm. Second time was lunch during the week which they offered us such a careless service and it took them a couple of times try to make our bills right. Our waiter was awesome, quick and always at our table to refresh drinks and to remove plates once we were done. It is a wee bit pricey for the entire family, but I loved the atmosphere and decorations. I love that you guys are walking distance from my home as well :) Thank you for a great experience. There were wings, burgers, reubens, corn dogs, and fried chicken sandwiches on the menu, and I ordered a salad. So it's my own fault, really. \n\nI do have a penchant for ordering dishes named after the restaurant, as I assume they are specialties and thus among their best options, and the Dakota Chopped Salad sounded delightful:\n\nIt was to have organic baby field greens, Persian romaine, AND iceberg lettuce. I was intrigued by this foreign romaine, and excited to see how it differed from regular old hearts of romaine. Unfortunately, iceberg was all that was to be found.\n\nPromised were heirloom cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, regular tomato, carrots, avocado, grilled corn, crispy bacon, garbanzo beans, feta, and a yogurt dill dressing. Of all that, there was a bit of tomato (neither heirloom nor cherry), maybe three bits of bacon, a smattering of feta, cucumber, and several kernels of corn. There was no carrot, maybe a tiny morsel of avocado, and the dressing was nowhere to be found (upon asking for some on the side, I received a tasty ramekin full of it, although it was unappetizingly separating). \n\nThere were plenty of garbanzo beans, which is a statement I don't relish making.\n\nEssentially, I ordered a salad with all the things, and it only had a few of the things, not the ones I really wanted, and not nearly enough of them. To be fair, my friends' fried chicken sandwich and steak salad looked infinitely more appealing. \n\nThe clear lesson is to never order a salad again. My husband and I were having a date night and decided to give Dakota a try. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waiter took our drink order and did not give us a look when all we ordered was water. As a matter of fact, he filled our waters up consistently throughout our meal without having to ask, and the water was good quality water, not tap water. We ordered from their $6 appetizers Happy Hour menu. The menu says 'Small Plates' so we ordered three hoping to have room to try their Caprese Grill which sounded delicious. When the food arrived we were pleasantly surprised at how large the plates were. We ordered the Calamari, Turkey Meatball Sliders and Jidori Chicken Wings. They were all really good and we even ordered another plate of the Jidori Chicken Wings. During our meal our waiter became a little busy with another table and another waitress came over to make sure we were alright and didn't need anything. How nice is that? After the appetizers we were full and got our check....only $24. We had such a great experience at Dakota and will definitely come back. I need to try that Caprese Grill! | american (new) | 12,549 |
Restaurent name is: Domino's Pizza
review: Terrible. The store is not far from our house. The pizza showed up fairly quickly, so why was it barely warm when it showed up? I think because it was made hours earlier and reheated. I've ordered from Domino's before from other locations, and it was really good. I'll never order it when I'm at home again because I know it'll come from this store. Head office should pull the plug on this store. Called to order a large pizza. Called back 5 minutes later to order dipping sauce. Our sauce did not come with our order. The order was $16 and the driver did not have change for our $20 bill. After complaining went to his car and brought back $1.50. I did not know I as required to tip my Domino's driver who didn't even bring our full order and expected a $4 tip, Will not be ordering from Domino's again. I called the driver back and he hung up on me. Incredibly poor service. We ordered this Monday night after a busy work day. Generally a fail safe, as you know what you're going to get. Not this time. I got my own pan pizza, which saved my boyfriend who got his own pizza, from being violently ill for 3 days. Im still feeling the stomach pain, although not the terrible twisting of death i was the days before. I phoned to inform them of what happened and of course, just as i thought, the person i spoke too did not care or say anything worth anything. I explained how I didn't want anything, just that they should probably know. They proceeded to tell me that i would need to see a doctor to prove what happened. I honestly do not care nearly enough to pay $10 for a doctors note to prove this. I am just warning other people that this was by far the most painful sick i have ever been in my life. Violently awful and lasted for days now. Please beware... There\'s not much you can say about chain store pizza.\nSometimes you get a great pizza.\nSometimes you don\'t.\nThe last couple of pizzas I got from Domino\'s fell into the "don\'t" category.\nI don\'t know if they\'ve changed the recipe or the "chef" but something isn\'t sitting right.\nThere was so much cornmeal stuck to the crust and all over the bottom of the box on last night\'s order I toyed with the idea of making polenta with it.\n\nI don\'t remember ever seeing cornmeal like that.\nI wouldn\'t have ordered as often if I had.\nSay no to cornmeal Domino\'s, or buy a finer grind.\nPizza shouldn\'t have a crunchy coating. Pizza was burnt and cold. It was not properly cut so I had to re cut it. The driver was also 20 minutes late. I would suggest to everyone not to order from here. I only live 10 minutes away walking distance so I don't understand why the delivery person took 20 minutes to get to my place driving. | italian | 12,550 |
Restaurent name is: Harbour Eats by Mercatino
review: Poke bowl wasn't very good and over priced, avocados were still partially frozen(?) and a little chewy. You can get better at the Telus building close by.\n\nCappuccino, I don't think they know how to use their expensive machine... Maybe the main barista doesn't work after peak hours (after 1 PM).... Upscale decor and plenty of seating. Nice attempt to create an upscale/hip food court. Attempt is the key word though. Because when it comes to actual food quality, they've pretty much failed. There's nothing special about any of these food establishments and they all charge you a pretty penny for the portion of food. The only one I'll consider going to is the Chef's Table, where the prices are more reasonable and you actually get a decently filling meal out of it. But even then, I can't find anything particularly compelling about the menu there. This is a food court type restaurant with menu of the day options that is known as chefs table. You choose your protein, carb and side. I had the steak, roasted vegetables, artichoke salad, green beans and cucumber salad. The steak was thick cut into strips, rare and too sinewy. Green beans had a sesame sauce coating. Artichoke and cucumber salad was decent, marinated. It's a bit pricey. It's situated in a nice cafeteria style area with modern tables and chairs so you're paying for location. It's a nice space. There's other stuff available in the same food court, coffee, salad bar etc. Overall high end cafeteria type eatery with regular offerings. Tried the dark roast coffee and an egg and avocado sandwich. I couldn't eat the sandwich, it was so bad. By avocado they mean a tiny amount of pre-made guacamole spread on squares of cheap bread (something like wonder bread). It wasn't properly pressed/toasted, the cheddar cheese square was still cold. It was by far the worst sandwich I ever had, I will not be coming back here. I'm totally done with this place. I have tried their numerous establishments and they all SUCK.\n\nPoke bowls were bland and lacked flavour.\n\nSushi was old! Tuna was almost black - should have taken a picture\n\nBeef banh mi - don't even bother if you're used to the standard of Banh mi boys.\n\nMexican - ULTRA small tacos where the staff makes sure they skimp on toppings. They also use High liner fish for the baha tacos. The grilled veggies were so burnt it tasted .... burnt.\n\nHot counter (by the entrance) - small portion size plus bad taste.\n\nWill NEVER BE BACK | mexican | 12,551 |
Restaurent name is: Roy's Restaurant
review: Very disappointing... They serve me sake wine glass!\nDinner was mediocre probably equivalent to a low-priced Chinese restaurant... And probably not as good... it's our second time there but it will be our last...... I think the chef should pay more attention to what's going on. My steak was good though not great. The appetizers were excellent. The Maui Wowie salad was wowie. I sampled some of the seafood entrees from others and regretted choosing the steak. The service was professional. The setting within the J.W. Marriott resort in the north Phoenix area known as Desert Ridge is nice, but it still feels like a very corporate chainish environment since obviously that\'s what it actually is. Entrees were about $30 per entree and at that price-point my expectations are always going to be high, so the merely "good" steak was a disappointment. 3.5 stars. We've been coming to Roy's for may many years. Well, more so the Kahala and Ko'olina location. This location was the first time but, I have to admit the food and sauce are very consistent which I find fascinating being that we are in the continent and not in the islands. \nIt was nice having our server from the islands and few other workers as well, I was feeling homesick on Christmas eve, missing the food, and family so having to be in the presence of some local people from Hawai'i was super nice and being able to talk hawaiian pidgin was a major plus! Totally needed that....\nNow, back to the food I had their delicious seasoned pre fix menu, it's super easy selection for me because everything is all chosen for me I just have to select which appetizer, meal I would like and I always love Roy's Chocolate souffl\xc3\xa9. I love the shrimp with the their wasabi sauce it was soon ono if I knew it was that delicious I would of just ordered a big order of just that...Lol! For pupu's we had Lakanilau Rolls- yummy, my husband and I shared the ice berg salad which is always refreshing and for my meal choice I had their alaskan halibut, the sauce on the fish was good but, I think it was a little over cooked but, it was great though considering usually I order the Mahi Mahi or Ono fish. My husband had the short ribs and of course, we cannot forget Roys Chocolate souffle, my favorite for many years. \nI'm happy their is some kind of island flavor here in Phoenix area with some local people working in the industry it's a nice feeling being away from home, now if only you guys can incoroprate some hawaiian entertainers to come up and play on special occasions that would be even better... :-) Schechuan spicy pork ribs. That's all you need to order. The mango margaritas were good too. The dinner plates were alright. 4 stars for the ribs! Would dine again just for the ribs Good food, good service...However the dining room is in dire need of a refreshment in terms of updating, decor et...\n\nMy friend and I were there for happy hour and there was not a soul there. Upon seating, I first noticed a Nespresso commercial grade machine, which impressed me as it is a sign of quality.\n\nThe bartenders were very friendly and efficient but then again we were the only ones there. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and drinks as if we were famished and really thirsty or wanting to cause trouble and our bill came to $ 115...with my favorite being the samosas, a little fried dumpling made with red curry chicken. For drinks, I ordered the mango mojito and the red sangria which were both ok, just not enough booze in either drink considering the $ 7 price tag..\n\nSo the grade may seem a little harsh...however there was no atmosphere and again the dining room is in dire need of an update. | asian fusion | 12,552 |
Restaurent name is: DiBella's Subs
review: With all the competition around you would think things would be different. However, the person taking the order was less than cordial. More this is the way it is. Delivery yes but not nice about it. They were very early which normally is good but let whomever sign the receipt. \nBut did not leave a receipt copy. Not good at all. Then calling to retrieve the receipt was met with annoyance. Not good again. \nThey offer sandwiches. Ordinary run of the mill sandwiches. There are tons of places that offer sandwiches. \nBe nice to the people who are paying for your food. Date night something quick before a movie. Tables have been dirty every time we've come. Got a medium turkey to share. Could have gotten a small and it would have been enough. Good for a quick cheap dinner. Meats seem to be a good quality not processed. I heard Dibella's sandwiches rivaled only Wegman's, and it is indeed true. Their bread is great, philly cheesesteak was delicious. I'm definitely going back. Bread is good when it's FRESH! They try hard to have a local neighborhood non-chain feel but failed. Maybe it's my bias and believing chain hoagie joints are a disgrace. If you enjoy hoagies from a local deli then this is not the place for you. Sandwiches are all bread with no meat or veggies. Very disappointing when paid 12 bucks for a sandwich they could've been better constructed by a 6 year old. Love their subs!!!! Mmmmm! I get the chicken philly on their everything bread, so good! They are all freshly made but the wait is not bad at all! I really like it there and I would recommend it! | american (traditional) | 12,553 |
Restaurent name is: El Jefe
review: Didn't have the greatest experience at this restaurant. Given I went on the first day of being hot, the patio filled up. We were really hungry so we decided to eat inside. \n\nAlthough we sat near some of the light source of the restaurant it was pretty dark and very loud music, at one point I could even hear them turn it up even louder where I found it hard to talk to my girlfriend who was sitting right next to me.\n\nFrom time of order it took a long time for us to get our food, I'd say around 45 mins. We just sipped on our waters and waited.\n\nWith all that said, the food. Tbh I was hungry so I thought it was okay. I got the Mexican Dirty Rice and others in my party got the Wet Burrito and the Chicken Chimichanga. If anything I would say all the food kinda tasted the same with minute taste distinctions and different textures. I kinda felt that the wet burrito was just my Mexican Dirty Rice in a wrap. \n\nAnother note to add is that I feel adds if the food is overpriced for the portions you get, taste doesn't really make up for it. The wet burrito and Chicken Chimichanga were both $16 without tax/tip and the Mexican Dirty Rice was $13 without tax/tip.\n\nI personally wouldn't come back here on my own Not bad I had tacos which had a lot of mayo on them. My bf got the wet burrito he said it was good. The guacamole was good too with house chips. The not so good part is our waiter, he took everything away and then didn't come back period. We actually had to ask a waitress from another table to get more food in as she informed us the restos kitchen was closing in 5 min. HAH...we got our order in and music got louder not complaining just stating. The bar seen had come a live. Also I had the $5 wine and it was good I have came here looking for a worthy meal and I have found it El Jefe has some spice and lots of flavour the orders come quick and the service is great definitely try it out. The vegetarian selection is very limited, so I can't really give a meaningful review.\n\nI had the burrito - and it's hard to make a bad burrito - it was good but not spectacular. The corn dip is pretty good. Hm so I have mixed feelings about this place...\n\nI am glad Port Credit is growing and opening up new and exciting places for drinks and food. There is ample street parking all around.\n\nPatio: they have a pretty neat patio with fun wall art. PC can always use some more patios in the summer! However, it is between two buildings (almost looks like in an alley), as such in the summer doesn\'t get much sun.\n\nDrinks: they have a large variety of different types of drinks, most (if not all) with tequila. I\'m not a tequila drinker, so I did have them swap it out with vodka for one of the drinks I picked out (and they did so without any problem). I did think the prices were a bit steep for something that did not really seem like a "crafted cocktail".\n\nService: our server was a young female, probably in her early twenties. I got the vibe she was trying hard to start some conversation and throw in a laugh (can\'t blame her for effort!) However at the end of the night she pulled out her phone and used her calculator to do some simple math when we paid. It was a bit tacky, and if she really needed to use a calculator she could have walked away to do so.\n\nI wasn\'t blown away by this place and am on the fence whether I will come back to try the food. | mexican | 12,554 |
Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: Best place to go after you eat at TK Sushi. Well that is because the wife and I would not wait the extra 45 min to get a 2nd roll each.\nThis Bell is nice. Claen and the staff top notch. The Thank yous and welcomes from walking in to leaving are a very nice touch. I wish I could give this Taco Bell 0 stars.\nLine wrapped around the building but not moving.\nInside, cashier at the front is rude and SLOW.\nHer visor was COVERED in cat hair.\nShe didn\'t even look up.\nQuick to tell me "Not ready to swipe" after not saying a word to me other than my order.\n\nFood is good, but the service and that cashier make this a 1 star review at best! This taco bell takes pride in making their food as pristine and prime as can be. While the cooks are rather slow, I'm sure it has to do with the love and flavor they place in their food.\n\nThe taco bell is also extremely clean! In glad to see employees taking their job so seriously. The bathrooms are also rather clean as well!\n\nI am very happy with my taco bell Cornelius experience. I feel that many people will appreciate this restaurant when needing a quick snack! Compared to CT, this Taco Bell was super fresh. The tomatoes were really cold but at least it all felt very fresh. Well done Taco Bell Possibly the best service I've ever had at a Taco Bell. Or fast food joint for that matter. And it's close to midnight. Unheard of. This Taco Bell should be the flagship for the rest of the taco bells. Corporate should pay attention to the store. | mexican | 12,555 |
Restaurent name is: z-teca Gourmet Burritos
review: I agree with the sentiments of the other reviews. The food definitely tastes fresh but for the price I'm paying for I definitely expected more. Are you really going nickle and dime me for wanting more lettuce? Yeah I definitely won't come back other chains such as burrito boyz and chipotle have bigger servings and the same quality. I noticed this place serves breakfast so I decided to try them out. I ordered their not so deluxe breakfast. Eggs and bacon were freshly prepared and tasted A OK. Fries were meh though so I ended up throwing them out. Overall not bad considering the price. I suggest that you ask for tomatoes instead of fries. Situated inside a food court of an office building, this place has definitely lost a potential customer.\n\nRatings would have been higher months ago but ownership has changed and boy do you notice a difference. This location is back to levelling their portions to unrealistic quantities especially for someone like myself who orders vegetarian and only selects a handful of toppings (don't eat corn, cheese, sour cream, limiting my meat intake).\n\nI always order the salad bowl and used to justify the near $10 costs for fresh healthy ingredients but no more! \n\nHello Burrito Boys up the street!\n\nIn my salad bowl, toppings consist of black beans, saut\xc3\xa9ed green peppers, guacamole, medium and mild salsa the odd time ask for a small scoop of rice to crave those hunger pains that lettuce alone cannot cure! I also do not get the dressing.\n\nAs I don't top my meal with every ingredient available, I asked for extra black beans and was greeted with the stare of death. I realize that management place these rules but was seriously put off by begging for a few more beans. I could literally count how many beans were portioned into my bowl! \n\nMy co-workers have noticed the same difference in management and are put off by the service provided. The owner even pointed out they have favourite customers which received special treatment- not a way to conduct business.\n\nWith Burrito Boys in the neighbourhood I will definitely be buying lunch there due to greater variety in toppings and serving size without having ask for more. This used to be my choice for lunch amongst all other unhealthy options in the mall. At least you have the option of replacing rice with lettuce and not add what you consider fattening, such as sour cream and cheese. They used to be much better regarding the taste and the amount of toppings, but recently I've noticed some changes. I don't want to say I'm disappointed, but you should have more expectations for the $11 burrito sandwich (Guacamole is an extra charge!) Although they claim to be gourmet there was nothing gourmet about the burrito bowl I received. Chipotle is far superior. Food was average at best and was overpriced. | mexican | 12,556 |
Restaurent name is: Hissho Sushi At First In Flight Bar
review: The sushi is okay (4 pieces in and I haven't gotten sick yet), but the rice tastes different from what I am accustomed to. The prices aren't the worst--$9.19 after tax for 12 pieces of spicy salmon--but the last working the register wasn't terribly friendly and had a bit of an attitude. That's the main reason I am rating this place two stars. during a layover at CLT, stopped by this place after getting attracted by their neat menu cards. Seeing the sushi bar and drinks bar, i was expecting good sushi and was not disappointed. Ordered a cold sake and sushi. Both were very tasteful. lookng forward to the next visit. Quick service, large portions. One Roll can feed two. Quick get in and out when you are tight for a connector. Hissho Sushi is the actual Sushi Bar at that location. I was hungry for a yummy snack to hold me over until dinner in three hours but only 20 minutes until boarding. This sushi place really hit the spot. I got the firecracker roll which was excellent - just the right amount of jalape\xc3\xb1o mayo. I ordered the roll fresh and it came out in less than five minutes. Bartender Sarah was courteous and professional. Will definitely be hitting this place up on my next layover. First in Flight used to be a bunch of tables and a bar, but as of a couple months ago, it expanded into a sushi-piano bar serving sashimi, special rolls, and a variety of beers/cocktails. Rolls run between $8-$12. Apps include Edamame, Seaweed and Squid Salad, Tuna Poke and Sashimi plates ($5-$8).\n\nOur waitress, Amber, is a little on the slow side with the turnaround for food/drinks, but she is one of the nicest waitresses I have ever met! The sushi is probably a 2 star, but if you're craving it you may as well come here since Charlotte sushi options are dismal. You also won't find anything even close to sushi in this airport unless you want to get some broccoli beef at Mandarin Express. Yeah.... not the same.\n\nI would recommend the Sky Captain because the yellow tail in ponzu sauce is quite fresh. The seaweed salad is what you would expect and served in a decently sized portion for airport standards for $5. The Orville is pretty good but has alot of sweet sauce on top. The Queen Charlotte is not bad, but kind of bland because it's composed of a bland soggy tempura shrimp. And the International Roll would probably be my favorite because I love eel and it's hard to mess up eel.\n\nIf I have any recommendations for the business, I would improve the quality of the sushi rice. | japanese | 12,557 |
Restaurent name is: Harmony Bar & Grill
review: I used to love their white house sandwich and came with my family for years. Fast forward to coming in with a friend of color for a sandwich in the afternoon, we are greeted with a gruff "ID\'s?" that oozed "we don\'t want you here." I was of age but not planning on drinking. I\'d left my ID in the car but this abhorrent "hospitality" was enough to make us leave and never come back. I heard from family their food has gone down in quality so I am glad I\'m not missing much. I\'ll continue recreating my own version of grilled cheese meets Reuben at home. The bartenders/staff on a Friday night are outstanding. They are in to what they do and that makes a difference having someone that is attentive and friendly. good mix of tap beers (couple IPAs) and cannot go wrong with their pizza. Reasonably priced. one area of improvement when they don't have bands. let the employees be in control of the music. It can get loud in there and be nice to tune out a few loud patrons. They are probably tired of the jukebox selections anyhow. (I am :)Oh also I have seen some stingy people tip there. Come on old folks they are working hard. Change is not acceptable in this day in age! This is a focused review on their pizza.\n\nI am a big fan and I am surprised I have not written about this earlier.\n\nFirst, it is a solid neighborhood bar, with music at least once a week if not more. The beer selection is okay, not great. The service is always OUTSTANDING!! But I digress, the pizza.\n\nLove it! They have a sweeter sauce that I think is delicious. The pizza comes out quickly too, so I recommend you mosey on up to the bar, grab a beer, order the pizza and enjoy the clientele during the wait. The mushroom and caramelized onions were are good combo. I did do the Canadian Bacon in the past, but it was basically chunks of ham and not desirable. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go pizza hunting! Oh and order by 7:30 or 8 pm otherwise....NO PIZZA FOR YOU!!!! I\'ve been to the Harmony several times before, but last night was the first time I\'ve been there for live music, and also the first time I tried their famed Walnut Burger.\n\nFirst, you should know that the Harmony is indeed a bar. If you go expecting an upscale "gastro-pub" experience of chic bar food, then you will be disappointed. There are no waiters, and you seat yourself. You order food and drinks at the bar, and a food runner brings out your order when it\'s ready. Its got a dive bar atmosphere, and the interior is pretty run down. \n\nAfter fighting for a table due to the crowd that was rapidly accumulating in anticipation of that evening\'s band, my friends and I perused the menu. It contains primarily stereotypical bar food (burgers, fries, onion rings, etc), but there are a few exceptions. There are several vegetarian options, including veggie nachos, so if you\'re a non meat eater, you would probably find lots of things to order at The Harmony. Most notably, The Harmony offers a walnut burger. I\'m told they\'re famous for it, so I ordered the walnut burger with blue cheese and a side of homemade potato chips with "Bleu Cheese Dip". (What can I say, I really, really love Blue Cheese!) It took awhile for the food to come out, so we drank beer while we waited. Our table of about 10 people ordered 3 pitchers to share. I am not sure what all of them were, but in honor of the WI bar experience, I stuck to PBR. It was as good as PBR can be.\n\nOnto the food: The blue cheese walnut burger came topped with a creamy blue cheese sauce in addition to blue cheese crumbles, rather than plain blue cheese crumbles like I had been anticipating. It also came with onion, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. The lettuce and tomato were exceptionally fresh and ripe looking. I was really impressed, especially by the tomato (it was actually red!). I bit into it and was immediately transported to blue cheese heaven. It was fantastic. I will qualify this praise with the statement that the reason I loved this burger so much was largely a result of the copious blue cheese flavor. I am not sure the walnut burger itself was why it tasted so great. The chips were also awesome. They arrived piping hot. Some were crunchy and others were chewier. It was clear that they were made to order. The Bleu Cheese Dip they came with was similar to what came on my burger, and as a result, was amazing. \n\nWe ate as the band played and just reveled in how fun the whole experience was. By the way, the band was great! It was a Rockabilly group called The Fast Clydes. If you like that style of music, I couldn\'t recommend them more. They had a ton of energy and knew how to work the crowd. I had a blast. \n\nAll this said, there are a few things that I think The Harmony could improve upon. First off, the tables in the main dining area are plastic. They\'re the exact same tables that you played beer pong on in college. I feel like The Harmony excels in spite of its dive bar atmosphere, and not necessarily because of it. Therefore, if they invested just a little bit of money to spruce up the interior, I think they would see a return. The Atwood area is still rocking that hippie vibe, for sure, but more and more, I am noticing newer and more upscale establishments. To me, that says that there\'s probably a market for it and the times, they are a changin\'. Also, I don\'t mind ordering food and drinks at the bar. However, I think The Harmony would benefit from offering table service, at least during shows on Friday and Saturday night. I have only ever been to The Harmony with a group, and it sucks to have to walk away from the conversation to get another beer, a process which can take 10 or 15 minutes if it\'s crowded. All-in-all, these drawbacks are minor, and I\'ll be back at The Harmony many times this summer! I love this place!! Housemade chips to die for. Great staff. Interesting locals. Although known for their pizza, tonight's was just ok. Other sandwiches and soups are better in my opinion. Love the bbq pork and slaw. The rosemary chicken is fab as well. Laid back, tolerant atmosphere. Always have the right games on. Never need to ask. :) | american (traditional) | 12,558 |
Restaurent name is: Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot
review: First off this is not your typical hot pot place. You sit at a table and get your own little pot rather than 1 large communal pot. Although you can request for individual or communal pots. Most people I saw had individual pots. The self serve food stations are unique where you can simply go and take as much ingredients for your hot pot as you like. You can order unlimited beef and lamb from the servers and they have a variety of foods.\n\nThe quality of the food was okay, but you can tell that they need to make some improvements. They had Onion Rings, Spring Rolls, and some baked goods but they were all cold from sitting there in the open. There were even fruit flies sitting on the spring rolls. They need to invest in a heat station or something that keeps the food hot.\n\nThe entire place is one big slip and slide. It is super slippery and you need to be extra careful when walking around to get your food and drinks. There were 2 people that slipped in the exact same spot and the staff mopped it and put up a sign...really did not help. However it was funny to watch people falling because you were just glad it was not you. Nevertheless one day I am pretty sure the owner will smarten up and purchase some rubber mats for the floor or get everyone to wear some crocs. Haha!\n\nBack to the food...it was decent but there are better places close to the area. The service was good and prices were right in line with AYCE hot pot. A lot of variety in terms of veggies, meats, tofu, seafood and sauces. It's super busy so go with a reservation or else plan to wait 30 min ++ .\n\nThe one downside is that their soup has herbally spices including goji berries and may not be to everyone's liking. The spicy soup is not very spicy. \nService is typical and they do add gratuity to the bill. Still searching for a stellar hot pot in Toronto and the search continues!\n\nNote: This is my second visit to Little Sheep Hot Pot over the span of two years and my impression has been largely unchanged. \n\nThe good: place is clean and service is prompt/quick/attentive (which could be tricky among other hot pot places I've been in GTA), quality of lamb and beef specifically never disappoint, the broth is also well flavored and tasty, price point is competitive/reasonable\n\nThe bad: quality of other ingredients - especially the meat balls and other frozen meals are just OK in terms of quality and selection. Especially the beef ball taste so grainy that even after you cooked it still looks textured, no fish/shrimp ball?. \n\nBottom line: Little Sheep pass the taste test and if you simply look at the meat quality and the place cleanliness then you would be more than happy. However if you're looking for a ranged of other dishes (meat ball, dumpling, etc) then you might be disappointed. Came here over the weekend and found it mediocre. The cleanliness was not there, they had a station towards the back where you can self serve for the food. They ran out of watercress and enoki mushroom and never refilled. The selection was not that great. I did however liked where you get your own pot and you can choose from spicy or the original soup base or both. There is a surcharge for the combined soup based. As for the meat they had lamb and beef where you have to order from the waiter. I would probably not come back again as there are better places with more variety and more clean. Not bad. I really enjoyed the sauce variety! Dessert choices need major improvement. I would visit again. Service was decent! | chinese | 12,559 |
Restaurent name is: Istanbul Kebab
review: I saw good reviews for this restaurant and went to give it a try. Food was good and the owner was friendly too. He offered tea after the food and that was good too.\n\nI had to add salt to the kabobs, I guess customers can choose to add as much (or as little) as they like. We were kicked out for asking to have the onions removed and for asking to try one of the falafel horrible customer service specially from the night staff Unless I'm mistaken this restaurant appears to have gone out of business. As someone said before, don't let the looks fool you. The place is unassuming, but the food is amazing. The beef kabab is the best I've had, the adana kebab is tasty also, if you like lamb. The salads and appetizers are to die for, kjopoolu - the eggplant and pepper salad is my favorite. Nick is a very attentive host, if you mention that something looks good he will bring a small tasting plate to your table to try.\nThere are many options for the vegetarians, last time he grilled an excellent piece of salmon for my friend. The turkish falafel is not my favorite, I prefer the Lebanon falafel so I haven't tasted the falafel at Istambul. The sweets with tea are great to finish the meal off. I don't know if this place keeps changing hands, but it's on its 3rd name in as many months. Alas, I'm still not very impressed.\n\nI recently came in for the d\xc3\xb6ner kebab. The menu lists other types of d\xc3\xb6ner, but they only seem to ever have chicken. The chicken was pretty darn dry and crusty. it had been cut off from the rest of the roasting kebab some time ago it seems. I always hate it when I can see this succulent juicy kebab roasting on the spit, and then they pull this tray out with dried-out old pieces to put in my sandwich.\n\nLots of confusion with the staff. I do wonder if this place has changed hands because trying to communicate that I wanted a d\xc3\xb6ner kebab instead of a plate was quite a challenge. \n\nThey also sadly don't do fresh falafel. My last falafel here was made with the refrigerate and microwave technique that I hate so very much. \n\nI think one can do better on Yonge. | mediterranean | 12,560 |
Restaurent name is: Timpone's
review: After reading other reviews here, I expected a respectable restaurant; nothing amazing, but solid. I was sorely disappointed. It was a slow, summer Tuesday night; maybe about 6-7 tables in the restaurant. I started with the "warm goat cheese, arugula, and endive salad." You get one small dollop of goat cheese, exactly 11 small pieces of sad arugula, and a mound of bitter endive. I mean, call it an endive salad if that\'s the core ingredient. And arugula is awesome, why have it as an afterthought in a salad? So, after I finished my salad I asked another waiter passing by if it was possible to have some bread. The passing-by waiter brought it out, but my waiter ignored the oversight altogether. On to the main course. A hanger steak with a medley of vegetables, polenta, and beans. I ordered it medium rare; it came out solid well done (gray-brown thorughout with a touch of pink in the middle). I understand if a steak is overcooked sometimes; but for this dish the "cook" (I mean it had to be a cook and not a real chef) sliced the steak into pieces and clearly had to see if was way overcooked. After starting to eat my meal, the waiter asked my opinion of the meal. I told him flat out, the steak is way over cooked but I\'ll try and eat it. He looked me right in the eye, smiled and said "Great!" Really? Were you even listening? (perhaps he put the order for the steak in wrong and I should not blame the kitchen?) The vegetables were more like a cold, grilled corn salsa spread over the steak, on some polenta, with a moat of beans around the edge. The other parts were fine, but the combo of a mexican fiesta just didn\'t work. I will say the polenta was good. Still, I couldn\'t finish the overcooked steak and it\'s mix-match of sides and gave up half way through the entree. The waiter took it in stride. He brought me the bill for the full amount, and instead of trying to make amends, informs me "I\'m sorry you didn\'t like the steak, hope to see you again soon!" What?\nService is a definite 1 star. Food is a 2 star. Overall experience a solid one star. I will never go back to this restaurant and recommend you spend your time and money elsewhere. The salad was 7, steak 19, glass of wine 6. So, this is definitely a $$$ place. I have to say that I was really skeptical about eating here after going to other Italian spots around here, but damn... Way to represent, champaign, whoops, my bad, way to represent, URBANA!!!\n\nI love this spot!!! \n\nThe portions look hella small (my friend who paid - looked at my dish and was like "you sure that\'s gonna be enough?" and it was!! It\'s like space food, you wet it and poof it goes bigger) but it\'s enough, trust me. They are creative with their dishes (spinach lasagne special - uh yum?) and well worth the money I spent. And also, the seafood tasted fresh, not rubbery from the freezer (they might be my go to seafood spot if I get a raise - sorry, red lobster). \n\nThey don\'t have ginger beer so no dark and stormies or Moscow mules, but they did inspire me to start making my own ginger beer (you can\'t have none). \n\nCreme br\xc3\xbbl\xc3\xa9e wasn\'t spectacular but their bacon caramel bread pudding, I swear it\'s like Einstein and Julia child had an Italian baby and the baby works in this kitchen.\n\nThe service was great, too. Kerry (I think) was attentive in just the right way. And he was honest with the things he knew and didn\'t know, and sold us on the specials (thank you, Kerry!!)\n\nCons: accessibility. There is a downstairs portion (where the bar is) but if someone who was wheelchair bound didn\'t want to be around that area, I don\'t know if the restaurant accounts for that. \n\nOtherwise, if you want to impress ANYONE bring them here. I don\'t comment unless it\'s mindblowing or horrid...\n\nIf you\'re looking for "italian" go to olive garden or some crap place like that. Timpone\'s has a seasonal menu, diverse offerings, and expertly prepared foods. I don\'t think Timpone\'s bills itself as an "Italian restaurante" Okay, pasta is on the menu too, but is that all it takes to be pigeonholed about being Italian? Or the name?\n\nYes, the decor is bad. But the food transcends...\n\nFar & above, it is the best place to dine in Champaign/ Urbana.\n\nTimpone\'s offers the freshest, most expertly prepared cuisine that I am aware of, and, for the quality, it is under-priced. We order oyster as appetizer and two entries. i would say it is ok. not special or surprise I couldn't tell you about the food because my boyfriend and I were waved away the first and only time we tried to go here after finding pretty good reviews of the food on yelp. We walked in for an early dinner and were not greeted by anyone. We looked around and waited to see if we would be noticed by some of the bar staff, but nothing. We decided to follow an older couple up the stairs and were then greeted by a host who asked if we had reservations. We didn't and the host said that they were all booked upstairs, but that we could sit downstairs at a table by the bar if there were some available since those tables are first come, first served. That was fine with us and we headed downstairs and started to walk into the bar area where there were 2 or 3 empty tables. The older woman bartending was on the phone and as we started to head towards a table she looked over, shook her head, and waved her hand to indicate that we should not sit there. She went back to her phone call, didn't say a word to us and no one else spoke to us or tried to help us. Given no explanation and no other option and feeling embarrassed, we left and won't be back. | italian | 12,561 |
Restaurent name is: Shuffletown Drive-In
review: If your're looking for a country breakfast, this is the place!\n\nEggs the way you like them.\nThey serve up a great cup of coffee and an excellent country breakfast.\nThey serve breakfast till 11am.\n\nThey have a good lunch menu too.\nThe Greek salad is one of the best I've ever had.\nBurgers, Cheese Steaks and sandwiches.\n\nThey also have real good sweet tea!\nServing since 1957. Decent food for the most part. Overcrowding, not the best service. Calling me 'hun' or 'sweetheart' doesn't mean you care about me, the customer. I'm a big fan of the idea behind this place and keeping it around, but it's not open a lot of hours and it's a crowded craphole any other time. My butt shouldn't smack a table trying to walk from one end to the other. This place has been around for years. I don\'t know the owner, Andy, but he has owned and operated the restaurant for seven years. I can say he is the most rudest person and does not care about customers. I guess he has so much business that if there is a problem with a customer he defends the restaurant and pretty much calls you a liar because "I had 300 takeout orders last Saturday and did not receive one complaint"....I called last Saturday to complain about bad packaging of our takeout food, which I spent over $30. Owner was busy. So I was going to order another big takeout this morning but after speaking to him and he didn\'t care if I was lost as a customer, it was obvious this cafe has too much money coming in to care if they mess up orders, owe people for missing food, or be the rudest people on earth. I was astonished and actually did not know what to say. He kept asking, "Do you want to order food or what" and "I check everything that goes out of here and it\'s clean". (These are just a couple comments he stated) I\'ve only met and spoke with one narcissist in my life and this owner is definitely the second. My husband sat next to me and he was shocked that I was spoke to in that manner with an, I don\'t give a s#&! attitude. I will never ever go back and spend my hard earned money for this guy to make a profit on me. In actuality, he does not care anyway because his employees and himself does not do wrong and the CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS WRONG!!!! I suggest if you want good food, can chance your food being wrong or bad, and you will not call and complain ..eat here. If you want to be respected for your patronage, don\'t step foot through the door. You are nothing to this owner. I guess that\'s why everyone is so rude and is careless. I\'ve spoke to 5 of my family and friends that do business there, they\'re definitely finding another restaurant to do business with and told me to definitely post my experience. Thats about $800 per month this owner just lost starting today. What in the world has happened to customer service in this world???? This place belongs on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives...you have to go for the atmosphere. Felt like a leap back in time. Food was good -- the service was super! I had a eggs and sausage patties with a great biscuit, my husband had eggs and ham with white toast. Can't beat the price! Great place great food. Service is outstanding by servers that have been there for years. Food is cooked by a cook that has also been there s long time. They are only open until 2:00pm but you can't go wrong for breakfast or lunch. Been there for years and going strong. | american (traditional) | 12,562 |
Restaurent name is: Thai Bistro
review: Definitely recommend the Thai fried rice, Mongolian Beef & Tom Yum soup. This place has a pretty authentic taste! Amazing in every category: Great food. Great drinks. Fantastic prices for the large portions. Cool atmosphere. Employees are friendly and the food came out quickly. Will definitely be coming back! Amazing food and Boba. The portion sizes are huge, I usually get 3 meals out of one. The lunch special has a nice selection that rotates. Best Thai tea I've had in Vegas... Service is extremely horrible been waiting 10 minutes with no one in line to get a smoothie and a thai tea made. The 2 people working behind thr counter have been laughing and joking around instead of making the drinks. They just started to make our drinks after i complained Found this little gem after going to Dick Blick for art supplies next door. The restaurant is laid back and definitely has some character. The employees had League of Legends gameplay streaming on their flat screen, which is more interesting to me than sports. My sister and I ordered their potstickers, chicken teriyaki, and chicken pad thai. Everything was really good and pretty cheap. Both of the entrees were only $7.45 and the potstickers were only about $4. I would definitely come here agin! | thai | 12,563 |
Restaurent name is: Fat Bastard Burrito
review: I did not appreciate being argued with over guacamole, after being made to pay for my burrito first, and then being told that they charge extra for guac on a veggie burrito in which they took a butter knife and spread a tiny amount of guac on. Apparently "guac is expensive" (like a paying customer needs to hear of your financial woes) and "Mucho Burrito charges extra for guac too!". LOL Just to set the record straight, I have an unhealthy addiction to Mucho Burrito\'s veggie burritos (at least once a week) and I NEVER pay for extra guac because they put an ICE CREAM SCOOP on top of the veggie burritos, NO CHARGE. I also lived beside Chipotle in Toronto for many years and that was the same case when I would frequent there for with veggie bowls and burritos. I should also mention that the girl at the front counter needed to be hung upside down to see a smile come out of her. Although they offer a good burrito, this left a sour taste in my mouth and I will not go back. Sad...I was really excited to check this place out and become a regular... I had the naked burrito (burrito in a bowl) 8.99 for large and I had to keep asking for more add ons. When they ask you what you want on it they skimp. You ask for lettuce and get half a handfull.\n\nMy husband had the beef burrito and it was the same problem. Ask for rice and you might get 1/4 cup. They are very skimpy for add ons arrived here after a night of partying and was extremely hungry. \n\nI ordered the ground beef burrito. The process was quick and the burrito was not only fresh but HUGEEEEEE. \n\nThe ingredients were fresh and you could taste it. Will definitely return. Worth every penny in my books! My partner and myself had ordered from fat bastard burrito tonight he had the butter chicken and I had ordered the tequila lime burrito chicken that wasn't breaded as I have allergies and need to know the oil that is used to cook breaded foods. When we got home we found that are order was not correct. I had a breaded chicken in my burrito which I couldn't eat that had a chipotle sauce of some sort. My partner had his butter chicken but all the sauce was on the opposite side of the burrito then that chicken making the side with the chicken dry. I understand it being a holiday but it seemed as though the staff were rushing along trying to get out early instead of listening to what we wanted to order. When I tried to call the store to see if we could have our order remade or refunded there was no answer. Usually we receive fairly good food from here but lately the staff seem rushed and inattentive. Best Fat Bastard I\'ve ever been to and I\'ve dined at quite a few. Ordered the "Big Baked Chicken with Shrimp Naked Burrtio." \n\nPortion is massive! Lots and lots of meat, rice, noodles, green peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, noodles, guacamole. Come with an empty stomach and even if you do I doubt you can finish this entire container. Amazing flavour with just a touch of hot sauce, just a touch! Asked for medium but OH you gotta be able to take the heat. Totally worth the $10 bill. Thanks guys, great stuff. I\'m a real happy bastard after that hearty meal. | mexican | 12,564 |
Restaurent name is: Needle Rock Kitchen and Tap
review: Well they have changed the menu. Service is still very good. Less Gluten Free options. No gf pasta on the menu (as listed before) you have ask to see if available. The straight filet is gone and the pasta pomodoro (GF). My wife is gluten intolerant and due to health condition she can't have raw veggies and doesn't eat chicken with bones. So my sister and I dined here last night. This restaurant is located at Trinity Verde. OUTSTANDING Food and Ambiance!! End your dinner with the Butter Cake- best dessert ever! Long story short, Needle Rock was PHENOMENAL! We live on 174th, directly across the from community that the restaurant is settled in. Anytime we want to go out to eat, it's at least a half hour drive, so to have somewhere so close was nothing short of a miracle. \n\nOur host, Emily, was very prompt and courteous, and our server, Jessica, was absolutely superb. She went above and beyond to not only deliver outstanding service, but made sure our visit was up to par with every course of the meal, and went out of her way to make sure my difficult drink was made to perfection. \n\nNot to mention that the prices were more than fair, and I'm excited to come back many more times without fear of breaking the bank. \n\nTHANK Y'ALL SO MUCH FOR A WONDERFUL VISIT! Interior is very nice and you can't beat the view!\nOur server was friendly and food was good. We started with the chef special bruschetta and meatballs. Husband had the double cut pork chop and I had the prime rib special. \nThe bruschetta had a cheese spread with salami and micro arugula with a drizzle of sweet balsamic. It had great flavor and bread was nice and toasted perfectly so there was crunch but still had a good chew. \nThe meatballs were good. There were two different kinds. Once seemed to be a traditional Italian meatball and the other was more of a chorizo meatball. \nNext up was my husband's pork chop. It takes skill to cook a chop that large and have it still be juicy on the inside. Very good and the cream corn it sits on was to die for. I would take a side of just that!\nI had the prime rib special with horseradish potatoes. Potatoes were smooth and creamy with a hint of horseradish. My prime rib was more medium than I prefer. But the meat was still tender so I was happy. \nLast we ordered the butter cake!! Best part of the meal! It came with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream and blueberry compote. I would have taken a scoop of ice cream with just the blueberry compote and been happy. \n\nOverall, it was a very nice atmosphere. I can't wait for the weather to cool down. It'll be a lovely place for an outdoor dinner by the fire. Third time here and it\'s gotten worse. Waited 10 minutes for server to come to our table, ordered a carafe of tap white wine which was served warm. When I told our server the wine was warm, her solution was to bring me ice. I declined of course. I should have sent the wine back then. Tried to order the artichoke dip for an appetizer and were told no artichokes. What? How can you be out of artichokes? We would have ordered the deli board but it was mostly meat, and my wife does not eat meat. They should have a cheese board option. My wife had the ahi stir fry which was to her liking. I had the tempura cod which was 3 tiny pieces of overcooked dried cod. I can\'t believe that a chef would send this out to a diner. I noticed another table near us who had the cod and it looked like large pieces properly cooked. Shame on me for not sending the wine or the cod back, but we are not difficult people. The icing on the cake though was when a manager came over and asked how everything was, and I started with the warm wine, and before I could tell him about my cod, all he said was "sorry" and rushed off. He obviously didn\'t care about our dining experience. Very unprofessional at the least. We will spend our money elsewhere. | american (new) | 12,565 |
Restaurent name is: Hardee's
review: Delicious food (their burgers are seriously the best fast-food burgers)! The service here is fine, the prices are a bit high, and this location is nice and quiet. All-in-all, an okay place, especially considering it's fast food. Hardee's in Madison is kind of a tradition for my family whenever we drive through town. We do not have a Hardee's where we live so it is kind of a treat for us. Simply put, the food is better than Mc Donalds and the deals are comparable. The service is not quite as quick but your food is fresher when you get it. Friendly staff but recommend going elsewhere. Hidden charges with buying combo meals. They are only place that charge you extra if you opt out of coffee to get a small soda. Should of went to McDonald's With having a very long day already and a very long day ahead of us because we are driving to Georgia for vacation. My family and I decided to stop by Hardees here in Madison east for dinner. We do have a camper attached to our truck. We parked alongside the edge close to the exit (there are 2 or 3 more entrances and exits to this parking lot) and when we enter we were greeted by horrible customer service.. If we were just asked to move it would of been one thing. However when we entered we were yelled at by 2 different people to move. They wouldn't even let into the door without yelling at us because we are to close to the entrance. it's a huge lot with 2 or 3 other entrances. we simply wanted to grab food to go but was turned down. again, they wouldn't even let us in the door. with this type of customer service I will never be returning even though I live down the street. The customer service here on how to treat a guest was horrible. The thing though is I am a manager of a different store. I deal with how customer service works all the time. this wasn't it. Ok so I spent $7 on a combo the biscuit alone was four. How do you say "Loaded Omelette Biscuit" if there isn\'t anything in it???? | american (new) | 12,566 |
Restaurent name is: Quince
review: This reviews is actually based on several visits to Quince over the last few years. The whole reason for being able to do a review like that is consistency. Quince has consistently been serving us great meals with great service each and every time we go. One of my favorite places to eat.\n\nThe menu is always changing and the specials are just too hard to not order especially when the servers can describe them as accurately as they do. Their seafood meals are some of the best around. The fish is always perfect no matter what the dish is. The meatloaf is maybe the best meatloaf I\'ve ever had, the pot roast is amazing, the "little ears" orecchiette pasta dishes are always awesome. Get an appetizer while there too.\n\nThe dining room is a beautiful place and part of a nice little shopping center. My only suggestion is changing the decor. But who really cares about that when your serving dishes like they are. Great stuff. I had been wanting to go to Quince for a while and was very excited when it came up on Groupon. They are open 11:30 - 2 for lunch and then reopen at 5 for dinner. \n\nI went for lunch and tried a few different things. First we had the Coconut chicken, spinach salad, orange ginger vinaigrette, brie, m\xc3\xa9lange of nuts & dried fruits. I am a huge fan of coconut and they had the perfect amount of coconut on the chicken (it was a breading) perfect to taste. The dressing was unique and a perfect compliment. Next we had the Quince grilled cheese. Two different small sandwiches came out with 2 different soups. Both unique and delicious! \n\nOur server was very helpful and knew everything on the menu. It is very small and cozy inside and I am excited to go back and try the new things on the menu! It\'s not someplace I would have gone on my own, but it was the site of a rehearsal dinner we attended.\n\nThe food was quite good, but it seemed to be trying a little too hard to be different or eclectic or whatever the buzzword is these days. I had "deconstructed lasagna" which was basically a big bowl of (possibly homemade!) small noodles, tomato sauce, and lots and lots of cheese and roasted veggies. He had some sort of chicken with a sweet crust and cornbread stuffing. I think I got the better choice.\n\nThe salads were excellent, and the ginger ale was a source of constant interest; it came from the common soft-drink tap, and so always had a slight hint of the previous beverage dispensed. I just found out that this place closed yesterday. I searched the news and their website, but no other information. Why?\n\nAll the dishes that I tried there were either extremely flavorific or mind-blowingly creative, most of the time both. I remember creamy asparagus soup and broccoli whose fractal heads were brought to a salty crisp with a technique that to this day I have not been able to identify. \n\nDoes anyone know what happened? Rah! You pay PAUL BUNYAN PRICES here, but get PAUL BUNYAN PORTIONS. So it kind of works out. \n\nI started out by ordering a coconut-crusted chicken salad with spinach, eggs, and pineapple. Generally, coconut-crusted chicken is a disappointment - the coconut flakes off the chicken, creating two sad little piles of awesome that never quite touch - the Romeo and Juliet of foodstuffs. \n\nIn this case, though, they\'d done a bang-up job. The chicken was juicy and cooked perfectly, and the crusty coconut wrapped around it to create a buttery coating that was absolutely delectable with every bite. In addition, there was a soft-boiled egg with a yolk spread out over the spinach leaves, making this a kind of gooey, fattening heaven. \n\nBUT IT WAS THE SIZE OF MY HEAD. \n\nSeriously. I like food, but you ever get an appetizer and go, "Crap, is it too late to send back the main meal?" Because I had a steak a-comin\', and here I was looking at this football-field-sized expanse of purest green, and the empty space inside my stomach was shrinking by the moment. \n\nOn the other side of the table, my wife and my friend MedKat were eating the remains of a wicker chair they had brought to the table. No, really. They said it was tasty, though.\n\nThe steak was a big disappointment. I asked for medium rare, which in this place evidently means "dead cow rare," and it was supposed to have bleu cheese on top. It did, but when I hear "bleu cheese on top," I don\'t think, "a half-inch-sized chunk of unmelted bleu cheese." I mean, I REALLY had to like bleu cheese, which I did, but this was a solid, imposing hunk that rode proudly atop the meat, like all those African women who balance jars of water on their heads. \n\nStill, overall, we\'re looking forward to going back and trying it again. What we had on the whole was good. \n\nA couple of other odd notes: \n\n* You have to ask for bread. This is very strange behavior; I didn\'t realize bread rationing had started. We did ask, however, and got cold bread - always a disappointment, but it came with a very yummy vinegar-and-oil dip. \n\n* They will wrap anything in bacon here. Seriously, about half the menu items were wrapped in bacon. I half-expected to see the waitresses emerge wearing bacon wristbands and jewelry. \n\n* The service, not to put too fine a point on it, sucked. They were friendly, but we waited forever for our food. On the other hand, we showed up without reservations on a night when they were preparing for a wedding, so I\'m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that this was an aberration, since they seemed very nice there. | american (new) | 12,567 |
Restaurent name is: Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill
review: Absolutely the worst. Go to Wendy's grab a baked potatoe and a whole chicken from sobeys. I visited this Swiss chalet to take my mother out for lunch today. The service was great, and the food was standard to any Swiss chalet. \n\nI was very disappointed at the manager, whose name I found out is Vera (sp?). There was a young girl who came in and ordered take out. She clearly wanted to eat some of her food in the restaurant after paying, so she sat down to do so. The restaurant was completely empty other than maybe 2 other tables. The restaurant manager, Vera, came up to the young girls table and told her that since she ordered take out, she is not allowed to sit down and she needs to leave. The girl asked if she could have a bowl/plate to dine in for the portion of food she wanted to eat inside, and the manager said no. She told her next time, she needs to dine in. She was so rude and made this customer feel completely unwelcome (in an already empty restaurant, probably not what you want to do).\n\nI approached Vera after and asked about this, she said it was "policy". She ended up telling me that I\'m not the girls lawyer, and yelling and screaming in the back kitchen area, so we decided to get our bill and leave. I would never go back to this location after seeing how this nice young girl was treated by the manager, and then how she handled my questioning this "policy". First festive dinner of the year turned out great! Hot food and fast and our server was bang on. Thx Don't waste your time. Terrible service and food quality. The oil was old so the fries were bad. 2 out of the 4 glasses our group had was not washed properly. And I spent 30 mins waiting on the server. The good thing about Swiss Chalet is, there's very little variance between restaurants. The service is quick and the food is good. What more do you need?\n\nI happen to love their chicken and their ribs but on this night, I had a 'two can dine for $14.99' coupon for their chicken dinner.\n\nThe restaurant is clean and well laid out and the service we received was great. I would have preferred the skin on my chicken to be a tad more roasted but it didn't suffer in flavour.\n\nJust a side note: I guess since we're close to Thanksgiving, they were also offering Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream for $4.49 and Butternut Squash Soup for @2.99... they both looked delicious! \n\nEvery year I look forward to the festive meal with stuffing and cranberry sauce but I wasn't aware that they offered these treats at Thanksgiving. Huh. | american (traditional) | 12,568 |
Restaurent name is: Filiberto's Mexican Food
review: Love the Tacos on Taco Tuesday!! Make sure to sign up for the Belly App! Points toward free food!! I've never waiting in a fast food drive thru for so long. It's been at least 20 minutes and that's just the time that I waited at the window for my food. Guess 6am is a bad time for breakfast burritos. Always good fresh food , especially a night of partying you got to stop at filibs!!!! I love the carne asada fries , country burrito , wish they had menudo Friday nights ! The food at this location is the worst filibertos food I've tasted in the valley! My bacon, egg, and cheese burrito had just one piece of bacon and no cheese. The entire burrito was burnt egg, and was disgusting. The food was delicious and pleasant service was wonderful! They even let us sample the red sauce chicken so we could decide if we wanted it! It was very good! | mexican | 12,569 |
Restaurent name is: DEQ Terrace & Lounge
review: Review Number 300 will go to this special meal. My best friend and I have a birthday tradition where we do Afternoon Tea. This was usually reserved for my birthday but we\'ve started doing this for hers as well, determined to conquer Toronto\'s Afternoon Tea options. What can we say? We love a good crustless sandwich, hot brew and a good gossip session. \n\nVIBE \nDEQ wasn\'t what I expected. I think I thought it was going to be more "formal" and though everything in the Ritz is formal, this had a nice, casual atmosphere to it. Decor is beige and black with hints of white. Chairs are comfortable which you will need if you are around for over two hours. \n\nService is top notch, as always. There was no menu. Everything was recited by memory and with a smile. \n\nWe didn\'t have a chance to see their Terrace done up but apparently it is the HOT spot and looks gorgeous. Another time! \n\nWE ATE/DRANK \nWe had the NOT SO classic tea added to the Afternoon "Tease" which is their afternoon tea with the option of alcohol. I had the Berry Berry Bramble. This includes black berries, citrus and sparkling wine. For me, it was a bit too acidic. I tasted my friend\'s choice: pinot grigio, citrus, soda and felt like it was too dry and strong. I personally wouldn\'t order the drinks again if I were back. \n\nWhat\'s interesting about the presentation of the tea compared to other places is that the server brings you out about eight choices in a box and names each one and gets you to smell the tea before you make a selection. I think it\'s a bit time consuming. It\'s a nice gesture but time consuming, especially if it\'s busy. It\'s also a bit awkward. I didn\'t feel like the tea options were on par with its competitors but the teas we did have (chai and peppermint) were fantastic and topped up. \n\nNow onto the FOOD! \nAs you can tell, this is not your typical tea sesh. The presentation of the sandwiches and sweets comes in a circular tiered object (I\'m not sure what else to call it). But it works and doesn\'t take up a lot of room on the table. \n\nI LOVED the salmon croissant sandwiches. It was a good size and the cream cheese had a great dill kick to it. Favourite! \n\nEverything was fantastic but we enjoyed the chocolate truffle, chocolate mousse cake topped with raspberries, madelines and scones. They give you a cute little ceramic boite for the cream and two choices of jams. I wasn\'t a fan of the marmalade but was a fan of the strawberry jam. You also get two raisin scones and two regular scones. \n\nOBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK \nIt was a delicious, indulgent afternoon tea that made me feel at my utmost leisurely. Go in with an empty stomach because you will be rewarded. For those looking for a non-tradition afternoon tea experience, I would say this is a good bet and even better if you can get the terrace in the summer! I had the chance to enjoy the DEQ terrace today with a friend (enjoying it after a TIFF movie).\n\nWhat a great place. Wonderfully comfortable chairs outdoors - such a nice private space and great ambiance. We enjoyed some white wine and prosecco and the crab dip.\n\nThe crab dip was one of the best we have ever had, and the drinks wonderful and cold.\n\nI have to say - the Ritz has "it" right. The "it" being service. We went in and the front bar was closed so the concierge escorted us to DEQ and helped us find a table. Then Megan looked after us for the whole time we were there. She did a fantastic job (thanks Megan!).\n\nWe had actually seen a movie at TIFF Lightbox and tried to get a drink at the Luma bar afterwards and after sitting for a while at the bar being totally ignored, we left and went to the Ritz. Best move we ever made!!\n\nFolks -- this place is in the same price cat as Luma or any other of the nice bars like Canoe, or Bymark and so if that is the kind of spot you enjoy then try out DEQ, you won\'t be sorry!\n\nWe\'ll back and it won\'t need to be during TIFF either! Enjoyed drinks at DEQ while visiting Toronto. The ambience was quietly invigorating. The decor is deep seat dark outdoor furniture with white cushions and other muted tones. Large heat lamps provide a barrier between each section as well as warmth during cooler nights. The servers were highly attentive, and when our party asked to move to the terrace the staff was quick to set a table for us. The menu included beers, wines, cocktails and light appetizers. If you are looking for a relaxing area to enjoy a cocktail or an appetizer, I highly recommend trying DEQ. I will be returning during my next visit to Toronto and would recommend this establishment to friends and family members visiting Toronto. I want to give 5 stars!! I think the high tea here is way better than the others I have tried. Customer service was excellent and the presentation was really nice:) Food was well prepared and I found it quite fulfilling and didn't go super hungry later on. I would definitely come here if you have a special occasion. I LOVED the high tea here! Everything about it were up to my expectations. High tea here is so much better than Windsor Arms... First of all, they present you with this pretty box that lights up with your tea selection inside. There are 9 individual smaller containers within the big box that contain different types of tea and you can open up the lid to smell the scent of the tea. On the lid of the big box displays the names and description of each tea.\n\nWe started off with a quiche and then the savoury tray of high tea was served which included salmon croissant sandwiches and some other stuff i dont remember (look at the pictures i uploaded) but it was just GOOD! The sweet tray came next and I was so happy that they served macarons! Windsor Arms didn't serve any macarons so that was a huge disappointment. So the sweet tray included some typical stuff like very fluffy scones, red velvet cupcakes, a miniature tiramisu, minature eclaire and such.\n\nOne other thing i really like about high tea at Ritz is the presentation of the food. They serve the food in this round shelf-like thing and neatly organize the food on each level. One of the main reasons why I like this place, i know this is going to sound stupid, but the presentation of the food. A lot of other high tea places present the food on a tower with a plate on each level and food just scattered on it. I hate that! It makes the food so unattractive and unappetizing. It's true when they say your eyes eat first. | canadian (new) | 12,570 |
Restaurent name is: Nu Panino
review: Unbelievable sandwiches !!!!! MUST TRY! My husband and I were in the area and felt like something different. We have never been here before and were pleasantly surprised!!! Way too expensive $10 for one sandwich. Charging for hot peppers now. Last time I'm going there it's not that good So my first post. The food was ok, I compared them to California sandwiches which is amazing. I got the break sandwich, the bread too soft like the risppy crust that California has. service was terrible. I had to wait 20 min for my food, they are under staffed and the lady always said, your food will be there is a couple minutes. But nothing showed. Over all I wouldn't go back for was meh service bad I really don't understand. I walk in for a Veal sandwich with onions and a can or pop. And it costed me $16. I find that very pricey and I was not impressed with the sandwich - especially the bread. Great Italian sandwiches. I usually get the chicken with cheese and mushrooms. The tomato sauce could use a bit more tang or zest (personal preference) but its still a great sandwich. I've also heard that their pasta's are really good. Try the vodka sauce, it's been getting some great comments from friends.\n\nIt's a nice and clean place. The owners are nice and friendly as well - of course they are because they're Italians! | italian | 12,571 |
Restaurent name is: Crafty Burg'r
review: Was out shopping with the wife and daughter and our daughter wanted to treat us to lunch and we stopped here as she is a Crafty Burg'r fan. Me not so much (see previous review) but she was treating us so it was her choice.\nI got the Buffalo chicken salad, daughter the cob salad and the wife got the triple grilled cheese with fries and apple cole slaw. You would think for $9 salads you would at least get some croutons in the salad or some captains wafers or saltine crackers to go with it, but no. \nFood was good its just very pricey. For the 3 of us with just 1 tea and 2 waters, tax and tip it cost our daughter almost $39, which my wife and I thought was waaaay to much just for lunch. If my wife and daughter had gotten tea to drink instead of water, it would have pushed the bill to just over $44!! WOW! $44 for 2 salads, a grilled cheese and sides and three teas!\nService was just ok with our server being very attentive at first but less attentive as the meal went on. When it came time to pay she brought my daughter the wrong ticket and it took her several minutes to bring the correct ticket back.\nFor these prices Crafty Burg'r needs to stand out among the rest in both food and service and like I said while the food was good, neither the food or the service was no where near good enough to make my wife and I want to come back again and pay these prices.\nOverall we had lunch with our daughter and some quality family time and that's what mattered, but as I said in my last review, the only time you will see me back in here again is if some one else is pickin' up the tab! They have the BEST fried pickles!!! Burger was ok, but the onion rings sucked. I have never had such small rings with so little batter on them before. Not sure if I will be going back. Music way too loud. It was hard to even talk to the person sitting next to me. Great burgers that are fresh & made to order. Host could be more accommodating as told there would be a 10 minute wait even though there were tables available. Overall, excellent value! Very nicely appointed but very small indoor space. When we were there the inside was full and the outside had several customers also. The servers had problems navigating the dining floor due to the close proximity of the tables. Definitely 2 servers with food can not pass. This is an upscale burger joint so why does it take so long to get your food? I ordered a burger, well done, onion rings and bread pudding. The temperature of the food was more warm than hot and the burger was not well done it was just a tad over medium. The taste was good but not overwhelming. The wife had the beans, very good, fries and chicken strips. She was quite happy with her meal but she did mention the wait from order to served. Our server was pleasant and did check on us. Overall the visit was ok but with the competition in the area a few changes will be needed. We will go back in a month or so for another visit. We've been waiting for our local Crafty Burg'r to open, and it was worth the wait! We tried it today for the first time, and it will become a regular stop for us. We all loved the fried mushrooms (served with a great horseradish sauce), the onion rings (more like onion straws), and the Crafty Beans (a mix of several beans with bacon, hamburger, and spices). The burgers are fabulous! Burgers were cooked exactly as ordered, and the toppings were fresh. Service was great. The owner stopped by to welcome us and chat. You need to try this place ASAP! | american (traditional) | 12,572 |
Restaurent name is: Market District Express
review: I'm grateful that there's somewhere in my neighborhood close by and convenient so that I can pick up a few things. It's too small to be everything to everyone and it certainly falls short for me. I wish they would do more organic and that the cafe was a little more sensitive to better ingredients prepared with today's information at hand. For example... use nitrate free bacon in your cobb and other menu items. It's been shown to score your arteries and causes arteriosclerosis. It's not an opinion. Giant Eagle should also have not hitched their stars to Starbucks and dared to create their own decent coffee program. It's not rocket science and again you could have served a better product than Starbucks and not have taken all that space out of your store. Maybe you could have served Swiss water process decaf and organic dairy to differentiate yourselves and to compete with Whole Foods whose opening is eminent. So glad you were exposed for so shabbily trying to impede their opening. I don't think I can ever really let this go and will happily soon never have to spend a penny with you again. Imagine a Giant Eagle Market District miniaturized and this is what you get. \n\nI do have a nearby Market District Express in Harmarville but, it doesn't compare to this location at all. This location offers a Starbucks, deli, produce, pharmacy, bakery, sushi, beer and wine section and even a soup, salad and yogurt bar. The only thing really missing is a butchered meat section but, I guess that's what a regular Giant Eagle or Giant Eagle Market District is for. There is even a cafe where you can sit and relax\n\nThere is also a Get Go and a car wash out back so you can fill your and your cars belly at the same time.\n\nDo not be mistaken as this IS NOT a full store but a compact version. For some things you will have to go to either the full sized Market District, Trader Joe's or The Fresh Market.\n\n I hope one of these eventually makes it to the eastern suburbs, cough Penn Hills, cough Monroeville, cough Wilkins Township. Just saying. Loved the convenience of this place! Grab, lunch, dinner items , then gas and go. Very organized, fun place. I tried the Thai chicken wrap. It was very good along with a side of homemade chips. Simply love this place. It's so close to my home. If I'm ever in a pinch for something or I run out of something, it is so convenient to drive across route 19 to get what I need. We also use it now also as our pharmacy. They also sell many different varieties of beer. There is also a nice outdoor seating area to dine at or read a book. It's a very unique experience. Their groceries and produce are always very fresh. The store is very clean. A nice bonus too is there is a Starbucks. The cutest little giant eagle. They have a wonderful cafe and Starbucks. Staff is the best!!!! | american (traditional) | 12,573 |
Restaurent name is: Restaurant Kejaki
review: Awful teriyaki plates. We ordered lunch specials with teriyaki chicken and another with salmon. The chicken had been marinated for too long in salt and pepper making me wonder if that chicken was super old. Both plates were drowning in sauce. The side salads were icey cold and going brown. We had some sushi as well, nothing too special. Giving the place an extra point for decent service. Great sushi for a low price. Can be hit or miss at times, but for the most part its solid. I'm sure the sushi is great here, but I will never know because I could not place an order for delivery. Although the restaurant offers free delivery, the girl answering the phone was very difficult to talk to and when asked if the order could come in for a specific time, almost 2 hours from the time of placing the order, she kept repeating that she did not know when the driver would be able to make it and could not confirm a time. This is ridiculous, for people who work in the area and have only a certain amount of time for lunch, 2 hours is more than enough time to confirm if they can deliver. Very disappointed with the service and this restaurant needs to find someone who can speak to people properly over the phone if they want to offer delivery. Super friendly staff, very fast service and loved the ambiance.\n\nThe soup was great, but I've had better. Sushi and General Tao were very well done and presented. I would say they were generous with the General Tao and you definitely get your money's worth. They prepare their miso soup exactly the way I love it!\nWould definitely recommend for tofu lovers :)\nI have yet to try their sushi though. \nLooking forward to it! | japanese | 12,574 |
Restaurent name is: Uchi
review: Food is ok. Their Chinese menu is better than their sushi, but then, Montreal isn\'t the best place to find good sushi. Enough quality to be worth their pretty reasonable price, though. \n\nI gave an extra star for delivery, even though their delivery guy seems to be missing a few screws. One time, he came, got buzzed in, and then left claming he "could not find the apartment" Um... it\'s in the building you were in??? not to mention that my door is 6 feet away from the elevator. Worst customer experience ever when I ordered online. Expected waiting time was 45-60mins, so I was waiting for one hour and made a call to the restaurant. They said it is on its way without checking details. I have waited another half an hour and called again then the restaurant said there was a mistake so the order did not even go through. So after waiting for 90mins, all I was offered was either cancelling my order or they can do "express" order with 15% discount, which will take another 45mins. The person who picked up the call did not even apologize. Very very disappointing. Will never order their food online. Very nice food and good deal\n\nThe three person boat is enough for 4 at least\n\nByo is a huge plus\n\nThey seem to accommodate big groups We stayed in Montreal for a weekend, and Uchi was a five minute walk from our AirBnB. When we walked in, there was obviously a 20+ person business party, and a couple other groups as well. They were packed, but there were still a couple tables left and the bar was empty. We placed our order to-go, and asked our waiter if he knew where a nearby supermarket was, and he happily gave us directions. We left Uchi and came back a half-hour later, and then waited another half-hour inside. So we waited close to an hour in total.\n\nIf the place wasn't packed, I would have been very dissapointed with how long we had to wait. But it was very clear that the staff were very busy and being as quick as they could, so I understand our wait was necessary.\n\nWe ate back home. The food was wonderful. The miso soup was delicious and authentic. Aside from miso soup we ordered six maki rolls. They were great too. My only complaint is that the spicy tuna roll and the spicy salmon roll were not spicy at all, not even a little bit. But they were still both very good, so this is not enough for me to take off a star, just a warning to the spice lovers.\n\nI highly recommend eating at Uchi. The food is fantastic, and it wasn't outrageously expensive at all. We will definitely keep Uchi in mind next time we visit Montreal. I'd been to Uchi a few times before, have always had a great experience, and it seems like their popularity has grown considerably since our last visit. \n\nThe food is terrific, both the hot dishes and the sushi. Standouts were the seaweed salad with shrimp and octopus as well as the salt and pepper squid.\n\nWhere Uchi suffered this time was the service. Despite a reservation, we had to wait 20 minutes for a table and after that, it took forever to get any attention from the wait staff. When we finally got service, it was to plop a bucket of ice on the table for our wine. There was no serving of the wine. Throughout the entire night, service was unfriendly and slow.\n\nIt just goes to show how, when eating out, food quality isn't everything when it comes to the experience. | japanese | 12,575 |
Restaurent name is: Terroni
review: I'm so glad that there is a Terroni's uptown. I no longer need to venture downtown or way east to get myself a yummy oven baked pizza.\n\nI ordered the Puzza, which is a white pizza with mozzarella, mascarapone, gorgonzola, mushrooms, and italian ham. As a cheese-lover, this pizza was absolute cheese heaven. There was the balance between the mozzarella and the sweet mascarapone and pungent gorgonzola. Mmmmmmmm. One little downside was that both the Puzza and the Napoli were quite salty. I guess it's hard to cut down on the salt with so much cheese and ham!\n\nWill be trying their pastas next time. Things I really liked:\n-The extensive (non lcbo/direct import) wine list sorted by region\n-in house scratch made everything\n-size of restaurant allowed for easy reso\n\nOther comments:\nService was satisfactory\nFood was slightly above average\nFront of house staff below average\n\nThis is more of a fun upbeat place versus cozy and romantic \nGreat for a group not as much for an intimate date We usually love this place, but the last time we were there, in a group of four, our food came out at all different times (a good 5 minutes between some of us getting our pastas and others getting pizza). When the pasta came out, it was only warm and not hot.\n\nDisappointing visit. I'm not sure that we'll be back. The food is delicious and the setting perfect but the staff is super fake and condescending. With these prices and location, it wouldn't hurt getting them trained better and keeping them happy, so they can actually care about the customer. I would like to begin by saying that we had to wait close to ONE HOUR to be seated at this restaurant. Please keep in mind, we had a reservation. This is unacceptable to me considering my experience in the service industry. I worked in the service industry for 15 years and I have never, not ONCE, let a guest wait for their table this long. The two lovely young women hosting seemed to be getting a lot of information about the tables through their fancy ear-piece-walkie-talkie gizmos. However, the implementation of such fancy technology failed to get us to our seats any sooner... We were expected to stand and wait near the door on a stormy, muggy evening. \n\nBack to the review, The waitress offered us a "Meat and Cheese Platter" as a consolation for out wait time. Me and my party were very excited about this platter until arrived and lacked cheese entirely. Our vegetarian friend was left hungry as the rest of devoured the (delicious) cured meat platter. Olives were a nice touch to the platter as well as crusty bread thingy\'s.\n\nOnce we me and my party got over the cheese incident, we began deciding what we would order. I knew I had to have the pizza. I do love me some pizza, yes. I opted for the Margharitta while others in my party had different pizza. The fresh arugula was very tasty and not over done. Sometimes, in my experience, there are issues keeping the arugula on the pizza and off the plate (or floor if you\'re clumsy like me) but I had no problems getting all of these greens into my stomach where they belong.\n\nSide note: Our waitress was authentic and cool. She addressed me and my date as "doctors" when she asked for our IDs while taking our orders for a beer. We thought that was kind of strange but charming at the same time. Thanks for the laughs.\n\nBack to the review, The pizza was so tasty i nearly ate the whole thing. YUM! to say the least. I still think about this pizza one week later. YUM to say the least indeed! My sister had a pasta and she said hers was very yummy also. \n\nBingo! Dessert time. Gelato was fresh and tasty and i liked eating mine with spoon in hand, one more scoop PLEASE? Thank you very much, great gelato makes a great dessert. We also tried the butterscotch which was wonderful and came with a nice cookie for sharing, perfect for all of us to get a taste. We all loved it, shame it was so small! \n\n7/10 | italian | 12,576 |
Restaurent name is: KINKA IZAKAYA MONTREAL
review: We got the tasting menu and it was superb. More than enough food for two people. \n\nThe drinks were creative and had great daily specials. Each course came out at the perfect time and was cooked perfectly. \n\nThe waiting staff was above average and attentive to our every need. I would recommend this place to friends, for a casual weekday dinner. It was amazingly good delicious ! I was sitting next to the bar and I could see all other dishes they all looked so good that I can't wait to go back and try something else ! About my order tho !! I ordered ramen and I loved it and it cost nothing !! Plus the staff where so welcoming and nice ! For sure I am gonna go back but the place inside is super load . And don't get the delivery to your house from here . Tried the kinka a table, which was 7 dishes for $29, for a party of two or more.\n\nFood was delicious, the tuna sashimi had an amazing texture and smoky flavour. First time have lobster sashimi and surprisingly it has no flavour at all. Since there's no natural flavour and no exceptional texture, it doesn't make a great sashimi.\nThe rest of the food was very well crafted as well, with my complaint about the beef ribs being a bit too tough, and a scoop of ice cream for dessert was rather lacklustre. If I had to pay individually for each item, I don't think it'll be worth it.\n\nThe environment is the bomb! Sake bomb. \nYou'll always hear people cheering/yelling throughout your dinner and it'll make you smile. Tons of fun sake on the menu. Stay away if you want an intimate conversation! You'll end up trying to yell in order to talk because they play loud music too.\nService was fast and courteous as well.\nIf you want a fun night out, this is the place to go. I come here for birthday celebrations with my friends. I enjoy the vibe here for that kind of event, but context matters when dining here.\n\nFood: great. I like almost everything here, but don't expect a lot of nigiri/sashimi/maki like a more traditional Japanese restaurant. Most fish is featured as part of a dish. The gindara is fantastic in my opinion.\n\nService: fairly timely and sometimes fast. The staff is kind and courteous. They are accommodating and encouraging for activities ranging from birthday celebration to sake bomb chants with your table.\n\nPrice: fair for what it is. Not much else to say here. Make sure to take advantage of their daily deals for drinks.\n\nAtmosphere: this place is super loud, both the people and the music. Make sure to come only if you're looking for a lively vibe like you might find at a bar. Good food \nA bit pricey and the service is unhelpful and makes mistakes often \n very loud | japanese | 12,577 |
Restaurent name is: Tamam's Shawarma
review: Came in with the fam because dad friend recommended and for me, just like in any place...if your workers are sitting down eating and resting something it up!\n\nWe got the beef shawarma in a wrap and it was just tasteless and bland. I couldn't even taste the humus! I don't recommend it, and it was hot as hell in there. Well, the fries were good but I can make that at home. This place is great, generous portions, wonderful flavour and good fresh ingredients. Staff and welcoming and friendly you really feel they care about their patrons and their food.\n\nI work in an office nearby and this area is not great in terms of food options, I will be heading to Tamam's regularly from now on. What a gem. Great food, friendly service! I often frequent Tamam's for lunch and they never dissappoint. The Lahmacun is a personal favourite Ordered via the Just-eat app. Very happy with the tasty food received. Big enough portions for two people to share. Food was also delivered before the estimated delivery time. Would order again!!! I had lunch today at Tamam\'s Shawarma.\n\nI ordered a chicken shawarma combo (shawarma, rice, fries or salad, and a drink) for $12.99. I imagine there were various things you could get in your shawarma ... I got chicken, tomatoes, garlic sauce, tahini and hummus. It was a good hearty shawarma and there was a lot of chicken. Everything was cold, though ... all the shawarmas I\'ve had in the past have been warm (the chicken is warm from the pit and the wrap is warm from being grilled). Because the shawarma was so big, I didn\'t need the fries so only ate a couple.\n\nCan (pronounced John) was the server. He greeted everyone who came in with "Hello ... welcome!" He was friendly and took good care of me. | mediterranean | 12,578 |
Restaurent name is: Mr. Triny Sonora Hot Dogs
review: Mr. Triny is no longer there. It's Pricilla's hot dogs, if she decides to show up. Almost everytime we want one, she's not there. I could live on this corner forever as long as Mr Trini would be there. Sonoran Hot Dogs... piled with beans, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, gaucamole and mustard.. the freshest bread (bun) ever.. you can also get cheese, mushrooms and mayo... all of this for 3 bucks.. I would pay 5 easily!!!!! It wasn't like the sonoran hotdogs down in tucson that I have had. But this was a pretty good one for what I've had up here in phoenix.\n\nA little pricey for a sonoran hot dog.\n\nJust incase you want to comment on how i said it was pricey, read it in the context first... FOR A SONORAN HOT DOG. Muy fantastico!!! Mr. Triny is a very friendly guy and sells some of the best Mexi hotdogs. $3 a dog is a great price. Stop by, say hi and wave to the passing cars! They don't know what they're missing!!\n\nUpdate....... After 1.5 years, the dogs are now $3.50 and STILL kick @ss!! Crispy bacon on the dog, messy and delicious! I've been going to this establishment for the past five years! I literally walk there all the time since it's super close to my house. Just kidding! I've only walked there once because my car broke down lol. Anyways, their hot dogs are to die for! I've tried so many Sonoran hotdogs in AZ and none come close to Mr. Triny's! Their champurrado is the best Mexican hot drink to have during the winter time. I am not the only one obsessed with these hotdogs so it's my family! We love Don Triny. He is so nice and welcoming :) great service! | mexican | 12,579 |
Restaurent name is: Ichiban Steakhouse & Sushi Bar
review: I've eaten at a lot of Japanese Steakhouses and Ichiban ranks the highest in my book. The shrimp sauce is unbelievable. None of the other Japanese restaurants even come close. \n\nThis particular one has a friendly staff and the dinning area was clean. The cook was entertaining and our kids really enjoyed it. \n\nYou really can't go wrong with anything here. I've eaten steak, shrimp, lobster, chicken and they were all excellent. I've dined here 4 times and each time the food and service were great! The salad dressing, noodles and dipping sauces are all delicious. I usually get the chicken hibachi, but I had the steak tonight and it did not disappoint. Enjoyable place to get hibachi. I have only ever gone here for hibachj, I have never gone for a regular meal. The hibachi tastes good and is entertaining. I don't like their sauces too much, compared to Miyako. However, I do like their one sushi roll called Natku (something like that, but it has jalapeno, white tuna, and sriracha). The one thing I like about this Hibachi compared to others is they don't dice up the shrimp. Yes, they give you whole ones - which makes me feel less ripped off. It comes with soup AND salad AND fried rice AND noodles AND vegetables. I love their ginger dressing on the salad. The salad nice and crispy, which is always a plus. We went there for my wife\'s birthday and the service was great. We made a reservation for the Hibachi (the only part you need a reservation for) and went right in. Shortly, they had our order and the chef came out and was cooking. The food was very good and we had a great time. The only bad side was that they charge you for what they call a "Birthday special". It\'s $8 for a small fizzing firework in some flowers (they keep the flowers) and then the birthday person gets some ice cream. Had I known this, we would not have requested it.\n\nWe were surprised because this was the first place where we were served lo mein noodles with the Hibachi. It was nice and added to the meal. | japanese | 12,580 |
Restaurent name is: Uma Sushi
review: Very surprised to find this gem in Bolton when passing by. Quality pretty on par with good Toronto sushi restaurants. The sashimi boats were so tasty and fresh!!\nThe decor are very cute and cozy. Owners very tentative. Would recommend for sure. What an amazing place. Family run. \n\nFood was amazing\n\nMy daughter wanted to have an authentic experience for her 11th birthday and did we ever get it\n\nFood was super fresh. Service was amazing. The place was very clean. \n\nVery reasonably priced and a great value. \n\nCalamari was amazing. Fish was so tasty. Sushi and sashimi was so big and delicious Fantastic service, quality food and quality prices. The owners go out of their way for their customers. John, the head chef has a passion for his work and you can tell from the presentation of his food. Definitely the best place around for Japanese and Korean inspired Japanese dishes. Very good little spot. I did a take out tray for a party and the rolls were all very good, very fresh and the filling to rice ratio was on point. I'll definitely have to check it again! Nice surprise in Bolton Great place for high quality sushi with fabulous service from passionate owners. Love this place for local sushi. | japanese | 12,581 |
Restaurent name is: Jacqueline's Cafe
review: I wish I would have read the reviews before eating here. I would have ordered breakfast instead!\n\nI had the tuna-basil-tomato wrap and am still wondering where the basil was. There was some dried green herbs sprinkled on top, but it tasted like dried parsley, not basil. I ended up adding some green Tabasco sauce to add some flavor to the wrap because it was bland.The sweet potato fries were nothing special. I also had a cup of french onion soup. The food was not the worst I've ever eaten but it certainly wasn't the best. Slow. Was there at lunch. Grilled cheese was fine. Soups disappointing. I had watery chicken rice soup my friend had thick slimy tortilla soup. \nOther friend had turkey burger and fries that he claimed was good. \nDecor is annoying. Weird 80ish bright colors. I'd go again, bit wouldnt choose it. I was so excited that they were re-opening in another location only to be really disappointed! \n\nStaff sat and served 3 tables (after we were sat) before they even noticed us. I had to get up twice to ask if we could get service or at least water... \n\nfood was OK...there are much better places around town for breakfast and lunch I visited Jacqueline's for breakfast while i was in the Phoenix area and I was just amazed with the whole experience. The menu was well balanced and color variation very well done and the food was just delicious.\nThe staff was very friendly and I really felt l the vibes of true hospitality.\nI will definetaly go back next time I visit Arizona \nGreat job guys and keep up the great work!!I "If you don\'t have anything nice to say, don\'t say anything at all." I think that\'s how the saying goes... and I usually stick to this saying but since I\'m a yelper, I have to be honest about my experience at Jacqueline\'s Cafe.\n\nI admit, I read the reviews prior, many of them not so positive, but I was still optimistic that I would like Jacqueline\'s. It\'s in a convenient location in the Hilton Village shopping center and it looks bright, colorful, and fun from the outside. There\'s also a ton of option on the menu. So I dragged Lindsey F with me to lunch earlier this week. \n\nWe were greeted and seated in a timely manner... and our server was sweet. We ordered ice water with lemon and a hummus appetizer to start. The water tasted like it wasn\'t filtered and the hummus had a tang to it that wasn\'t a good tang. (I think I\'ve tasted hummus with a tang when it\'s sat too long in my refrigerator in the past). I will say the pita that came with it was warm and tasty though.\n\nWe each ordered salads, and they were huge portions. They looked good but a few bites in and we both agreed that they looked much better than they tasted. The egg, chicken, and avocado that came in my Cobb Salad tasted processed, and the dressing was really thick. Needless to say, I barely made a dent in it.\n\nSo there you have it, my honest review of Jacqueline\'s Cafe. The two star rating says it all: "Meh. I\'ve experienced better." Sorry Jacqueline\'s - I wish you luck but I will probably not be back for another mediocre meal. | american (traditional) | 12,582 |
Restaurent name is: Elixir Organic Cafe & Lounge
review: I'm always excited to hear about a new vegan-friendly eatery in town, so I couldn't wait to check this place out! The cafe is open and bright, and they have both tables or sofa seating available. They also have a stage, so maybe they will be having live music at some point? Or maybe an open mic poetry night where I can read my vegan sonnets? (Kidding!)\n\nThey have a standard cafe menu of soups, salads, and sandwiches (including wraps and panini). They have a list of like 6 vegan soups (!!) including vegan chix noodle, minestrone, chili, lentil, and butternut squash. However, only the lentil was available. Booooo!\n\nThere is a vegan/vegetarian version of the standard menu that is almost exactly the same -- they just replace the meat and/or cheese with a vegan version (they have Tofurkey and Crown meats, and it looks like Daiya cheez). My server told me that all of the vegan/veggie menu is vegan (or can be made as such). Yay!!!\n\nThey also have a juice bar, various teas, boba (which is organic and not as sweet as regular boba - I overheard a discussion about this) and frozen yogurt. You can dine in or do takeout.\n\nThe service was pretty quick, I was seated immediately with a menu, then a couple minutes later I was brought a little dish of dried fruit to gnaw on while making my menu decision. What a cute idea!\n\nI opted for the Vegan Cobb Salad ($9.99) with vegan ranch dressing. I will admit I was a little underwhelmed, although, to be fair, it came exactly as described on the menu - lettuce, tomatoes (only a few), croutons bacon bits, fake turkey, a little cheez, and avocado. I could have used a few more veggies in there (carrots? cucumber?). But what the hell, I've never had a real Cobb salad so maybe that's right on the money. \n\nRegardless, it was a good size, very tasty. and they did not skimp on the avocado! The dressing was so good. They only gave me a little tiny cup, but that's really all I needed.... and if they'd doled out more, I would have just slopped on some unnecessary calories. The salad also came with some very fluffy whole wheat pita that was delish. I just had a black iced tea to drink, which was fine but nothing special (and $2.99?!?).\n\nThey have a deal going on now that you get half off your drink with the purchase of an entree. It's a bit pricey, but it is organic food, so you're getting really good quality. I think this place has a lot of potential. As is, I'd give it a 3.5, so we might be rounding this score up to 4 if my next visit (and there will definitely be one) goes well. Far bigger than I imagined, Elixir is quite spacious with ample seating, lounge areas off to the sides (complete with comfy couches) & even a mini stage (for what purpose, I do not know). The decor is interesting to say the least...very Victorian-esque, with oil paintings of scenic landscape on the walls, flowery furniture and gold accents. The serenity and decor of this place made me feel like I was in the lounge area of a spa. The theme continued to the bathroom as well, where I found myself confused by the really low-placed mirror and the tiny vanity. Truthfully, I expected an organic cafe to have a modern design w/ simple, clean features & bright colors. Anyways, it was a surprise. \n\nThe menu features a lot of healthy choices, including vegan and vegetarian items. There are also cakes and other baked treats behind the glass display at the counter. I didn't eat anything, but I did have a glass of Iced Green Tea (free refill!). I'm not a tea expert, but the green tea didn't really taste like green tea. But overall, it was refreshing. The server was very friendly and definitely made sure my glass always had tea in it, so extra points for the lovely service. This place closes at 7, but the owner/server said she wouldn't close shop until all the customers left :) I'll have to come back to try the food sometime as it looked good. I came here a long time ago when they first opened to pick up a menu and check the place out, and it still looks the same--cozy and empty. \n\nI give them 5 stars for their food, and 3 stars for their service.\n\nLike most of the other reviews for Elixir, I have to say that the service was pretty bad. I took my sister out to lunch, and there were only two other people eating there. I don't see why it takes so long to get even our smoothies on the table. \n\nHowever, my sister and I LOVED the food. My sister got a panini, which she thoroughly enjoyed. And in concurrence with a fellow yelper, it could have been filled more. It came with really yummy blue tortilla chips and mango salsa. I got a Cobb wrap, which I LOVED. It's not often that I get to eat vegetarian turkey. Especially when it comes with rich avocado, fresh veggies, veggie bacon, creamy blue cheese dressing, all wrapped in a spinach tortilla!\n\nMy sister and I both got smoothies, I don't remember what she got, but I got something with honeydew and mint. It was sweet and refreshing--definitely my new favorite smoothie. \n\nOverall, they could increase their portion sizes just a touch, and they need to work on customer service, but my sister and I enjoyed our lunch, and we will definitely be back! Wooed.there was no one in the place and it took 30 min to receive service.then on the over priced food they would not accept a groupon gift we where given....buyers beware We came here with a groupon. We had smoothies and paninis for a late lunch. I had the lemongrass and sesame paninis with beef. It was great!! The menu has many options and the prices are reasonable. 4 stars for food and drinks and 1 star for the groupon discount. | american (new) | 12,583 |
Restaurent name is: Dobson's Restaurant
review: Went for breakfast on a Sunday morning after reading reviews that there is usually no wait. Sat down right away! Really enjoy that this is a true neighborhood restaurant. Great place for taking little kids as the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. No one minded our toddler playing with trucks in the corner. Pancakes were "damn good" according to my husband. I had the meat lovers scramble from the specials menu and it was great. If you want something hipster and trendy go down the street, but if you are looking for a good breakfast at a great price that can accommodate groups last minute this is your place! We will absolutely be back for weekend breakfasts. The smell of urine is strong as you enter the restaurant. Back in the bar area, it is still noticeable. I wouldn't have stayed, except I had already committed to meet a group there.\n\nThe salmon seemed like it had been frozen. The only vegetables were asparagus and spinach. The French fries, which I was told were fresh, were soggy and limp. I will not be going back.\n\nAlso, the entry/exit door was locked when I left around 7:05 p.m. I left through the kitchen. Not a big inconvenience this time, but isn't that a fire safety hazard?\n\nI gave it two stars (rather than only one) because the server/bartender was nice and attentive. Great food , watch golfers on golf course truly relaxing clean restaurant with great food and people . \nEveryone was just so nice lots of smiles on other diners. \nBar seem to be hopping. \nGolf course here at Dobson I see a lot of big wiz city boys . Lots of Scottsdale residents come here. Strange but they do . \nI will be returning Was disappointed. Not sure if it changed management, but went there for dinner to have Fish and chips for Ash Wednesday and it was super greasy. The french fries were coated in salt and both my daughter and I couldn't eat them. I've had their Friday Fish fry in the past and this fish wasn't the same. I've had the worst stomach ache and was up all night in the restroom. Only reason why they have 1 star is because you have to put something. My first impression was not good I felt like I didn't belong here the waitress was really like she can care less. Very not friendly at all. I will never come back here again. | american (traditional) | 12,584 |
Restaurent name is: Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
review: -Consistant food.\n\n-Good service.\n\n-Not too long of a wait.\n\n-Parking was convenient.\n\n-Updated decor.\n\n-Area is questionable. i had a gift card from Christmas that was burning a hole in my wallet, so i went here for a work lunch. Food was excellent, I got the Four Cheese Pastachettis with chicken. It took longer than expected to receive the entree but the flavor was wonderful. Cheese, cheese and more cheese just the way this midwestern boy likes it please. Service was attentive and friendly. My only concern now is that with my digestive system is sounding like an earthquake. I hope that it agrees with me later on this afternoon and doesn't send me into a multiple dating spree with the bathroom. Yikes. I have been taking my 92 yr old neighbor to OG for several years, at least 1 a week. Always a great experience and great service until 16 Jan 2013. We were seated in Alexs\' section, it was a terrible experience. She was not even friendly!! A couple came in after us and sat across from us, they already had their salad and bread sticks by the time we finally got our hot water for tea. The couplealso had their soup by the time we got our salad. Then Alex came by amd ask if we needed any more salad or soup. I clearly stated "we just want our soup" as we had yet to receive it!!! She still was in no hurry to get our soup, we will go back but will ask not to be seated in Alexs\' section!!! I think OG neede to instill to be prompt and friendly when serving customers!!! I have been to Olive Garden countless times growing up. I've only been a handful of times in the past few years & usually it's for the soup, salad & breadsticks lunch. Yesterday was no different & that's exactly what my mom & I ordered. For our soup choice we went with minestrone. Their soup, salad & breadsticks are always consistently the same. The minestrone was good & had plenty of beans & veggies. Their salad is ok, I wish it had romaine & spinach, as opposed to all that iceberg, but I do like their dressing & croutons. The breadsticks are delicious but so fattening! I was good & only had 1, I could easily eat 5 or 6 of them. We also split the calamari. It was actually really good, lightly breaded & not at all greasy. Came with marinara & a parmesan-peppercorn sauce, both were yummy. Oh & I ordered the peach-raspberry iced tea, man was it sweet! Now don't get me wrong I LOVE sugar but this was definitely overkill. Total for our lunch was about $30. I stopped in here for lunch the other day. I had intended to get there about 11 but it was almost noon and I had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Being lunch, any more of a wait and I would have gone elsewhere. Right now they are running their $8.95 all you can eat pasta special with choice of soup or salad. I had two different pastas and a big bowl of salad. I love the pasta and like the salad, the food is always consistent from one location to another. This location always seems a little more crowded and hectic than the one on 75th. If I could use half stars it would be a 3-1/2. | italian | 12,585 |
Restaurent name is: Quattro e Quattr8
review: I haven't tried anything but the take-out pizza slices, but they are incredibly good. I mean it... they're among the best I've *ever* had, and they're not expensive at all. I'm amazed that there are so few people here at lunchtime, while at the mediocre chains like Pizzaiolo there are lines of customers waiting to get bland slices with around 2 pieces of pepperoni per portion. The staff are also wonderfully friendly. Tried having dinner here today...sat for about 10 minutes and no one approached us, despite trying to get the server's attention (server was in deep conversation with an individual who appeared to be a friend). Came here for a quick lunch and was actually planning to just go for a pizza slice or two. However, the waitress that seated us described the lunch specials and it sounded really nice that I decided to try that instead. The special consisted of gnocchi followed by a piece of veal cooked gremolata style and roasted potatoes. My friend ordered pasta with Ndjua sausage. \nTo start with, the gnocchi was very floury and just got stuck in the gum and the tomato sauce it was tossed in did not add much flavour. So this did not really do anything for me. What raised the rating to a three star was the gremolata style veal, which was very nice, lemony and fresh. My friend's Ndjua pasta was very flavourful but a bit spicy. \nTo sum up:\n\n+ Good gremolata style veal\n+ Good portion size for the lunch special\n+ They have two different portion sizes: half and full so you can choose how much you want to eat\n+ Friendly staff\n\n- Bad gnocchi \n+ Half portion size is very small for the price you pay As Christopher C. mentioned, it's all small plates of Italian street food. This is a unique menu and definitely worth trying. With most Italian places you pretty well know what's going to be on the menu. Here, a lot of pleasant surprises. Loved the fried mozzarella balls. And for dessert the cooked apple slices were light and tasty. The interior is much more welcoming than Falasca, the predecessor. We'll be back. Walked by and decided to give it a try. It's a small but warm atmosphere, very 'family owned and operated' vibe. The young lady that served us was very sweet and attentive.\n\nThe plates are on the smaller side and it's definitely recommend to have about 3-4. The stuffed olives were so fantastic, I had to stop myself from making a 2nd order. The spaghetti carbonara was creamy and just the right portion.\n\nWe'll definitely be coming back in future. | italian | 12,586 |
Restaurent name is: 8 Fortune Cusine
review: My father went in around 6 pm tonight to check the place out. He ordered teriyaki chicken, brought it home, and we were disgusted with what we saw. It didn't even look or smell like chicken. I went back and asked them to return the chicken and give us something else. They gave me slight attitude but agreed to give me something else. I ordered general tsos chicken and Kung pow chicken . Again, the food was disgusting. The crab puffs were even gross. I don't even know how you can mess that up. Anyway, will never return to this place. I do not recommend this place to anyone . Pretty good food and selection overall. Came in during a weekday so it wasn't busy at all. Some of the entrees are good, some are a little less than expected quality for the price. The environment seems a bit subpar and a typical generic Chinese restaurant. The food will get the job done and satisfy that hunger! Try it! Nice place and people were very friendly. An extensive menu all very well priced. I had the Singapore Noodles and they were delicious. Some of the best I've ever had. The portion size was incredible. I took more than half home. \n\nMy Mom got a dinner combo and it could have fed 3 people again very well priced \n\nIf you live in Peoria and want to support local, give these folks a try! My hubby and I just happened onto this place today and we loved it! I had the lemon chicken and he had curried beef. The lunches were $5.25 each and included soup, egg rolls and crab puffs, as well as fried rice. I ha the egg drop soup and it was delicious, made with a light touch, not that salty canned chicken soup base. Likewise the lemon chicken, first time I ever thought the sauce was not overly sweet. My hubby had similar compliments on his meal. The only reason I gave it four stars was because we did not care for the fried rice or the iced tea. I was shocked that the place was largely empty at lunch time. Go there! The food is great, and the prices are beyond reasonable, and it's a sit down place, no icky, picked over buffet. This place was call Yu's when it opened. If you want to read the reviews look them up. I believe this place sold a year ago as there was new people at that time. The menu has not changed and the food seems to still be prepared fresh and with quality ingredients. One order will feed two people easy. We usually just get one meal and split it unless we want something in the refrigerator to eat during the week.The lady that is behind the counter is super nice and helpful. We eat there a couple times a month and when people are in town we always take them there once during their stay. This is a local owned business and they do a great job. If you are in for Chinese give them a try. | chinese | 12,587 |
Restaurent name is: Loco Lime Mexican Grill
review: There aren't many good restaurants in the area, so I'm giving this a 3 knowing I would have given it a 2 in another location (and in fact, I give the Plaza Midwood location a 1). At lunch during the week, this place is empty, and the service is friendly and prompt enough for a mid-workday meal. They have good lunch specials; I like the Mexican Chopped Chicken salad just fine, it's pretty loaded down and the fried jalapenos are a nice added touch. The torta is also pretty good, and big, if you're in the mood for that.\n\nI can't speak to the dinner, but the other lunchtime meals look fine too. When you're looking for a place to get away from the office, it's an option, but don't go there looking for your new favorite restaurant. This place is Soooo good! Have been here a few times, but have finally decided to write a review. Aside from the chips being stale ( I always send them back for a fresh batch) and the white queso dip being really thick and cold, the service is quick and friendly. The veggie burrito is fresh and a guaranteed palate pleaser! It comes with plantains and AMAZING slaw. This entree could easily be shared for a light meal. Boyfriend always gets the chimichanga and is never disappointed! $27 gets you two delicious entrees, chips and queso and two sweet teas. They ARE in the coupon book... so look for it to save BUY ONE GET ONE FREE ENTREE. Went here last week, was my 2nd visit there. Enjoyed it both times. The locoritos are on point. Pretty solid service, laid back environment. My family and had dinner here the other night. It had been a cold and rainy day, and I was in the mood for Tortilla Soup. Being from Texas, I must say that this is a tough craving to curb, but Loco Lime came through. It was sooooo good. There were a few tortilla strips along with one large tostada shell to break up into my soup. The broth was flavorful. There was a significant amount of chicken. It was loaded with Mexican cheese and topped with freshly chopped onion and cilantro. It also comes with a side of Spanish rice that you can eat separately or mix into your soup bowl. I, myself, am a mixer. :) The only thing that would put it over the top for me is sliced avocado...just like home. So when you want some chicken soup with flare, come check out Loco Lime! And by the way, kids eat free on Wednesday nights! :)\n\nNow if only I could find a Mexican restaurant that serves breakfast... Loco Lime was a huge disappointment. The dining room and patio were very nice, but that's about all there is to be said for Loco Lime. The food was bland and below the quality that you can find at most local Mexican places.\n\nWe began our meal with tableside guacamole that arrived at the same time as our meals- instead of allowing us time to enjoy the guacamole and chips. The avocados were brown inside and about four days past the time they should be served to patrons. It didn't help that they were mixed with an uninspired pile of pico. Why bother with tableside at all? \n\nThe steak fajita meat looked like the beef in a cheap serving of Chinese food. The pork chimi was filled with mostly rice and beans that had little flavor. The rice and bean sides were average.\n\nService was poor and it generally felt like young inexperienced kids were running the place. \n\nThe pricing was reasonable, but I'd rather spend a few more bucks and get topnotch mexi meal at Prickly Pear, cantina 1511, or any number of better places. | mexican | 12,588 |
Restaurent name is: Jyuban Ramen House
review: i went here today at around lunchtime. i have been wanting to try this place for like a few months now and i finally got to and i must say i was rather disappointed. \n\nfirst, i ordered a spicy miso pork bone soup ramen with cha siu (note: they had three levels of spicy; i chose level 2 and honestly it was like nothing) this ramen wasn\'t bad. it\'s alright. at first, the taste to me was quite good, but after a while i just got tired of it. im not a fan of the kind of ramen they used (it\'s like textured-spaghetti noodles which i dislike), their egg was kinda weird and yeah. the only good thing was that they have a generous amount of cha siu (good for the meat eaters out there; just not for me xD) oh and they don\'t have msg \n\ni decided to order dessert and got the "ice&fire (i think that\'s literally what it\'s called) BAD IDEA. it was $5.99 and all it was, was fried sesame paste balls (like tong yuan) and frozen grapes...LIKE FORREAL?! the flavours don\'t even work. it was just a complete waste of money and eating effort. ( but seriously frozen grapes you kidding me ? for $5.99 ?! you?! kidding ?! meeeEE?!) also the server constantly told me that it\'s very cold for the ice one (hell yeah it is considering it\'s like straight from the freezer) and that it\'s very hot for the fire one ( hell no it isn\'t it\'s like warm)\n\nso yeah, food was not the best. decorations were okay. (the place looked rather idk bad idk like something about it gave off this kind of weird feeling tbh it kinda ugly but hey some people got to write on their windows and walls) my unfortunate ass didn\'t get to :( :( umm and their server was pretty nice. constantly asked us about our food and how\'d we think of it Definitely not a ramen place for everyone. We are so used to the normal MSG filled ramen that our taste buds need so much flavor and salt. However, this place has a more subtle (but still, nevertheless, delicious) tasting broth which is so refreshing. \n\nI had a seafood ramen, they definitely very generous with the seafood and ingredients. My boyfriend had the spicy pork bone broth and you can taste different layers, first, the pork bone, and then the spicyness.\n\nThe noodles are handmade daily, so its definitely fresh. The ramen master also keeps away from preservatives when making the noodles. always a plus.\n\nDefinitely the most delicious bowl of healthy ramen I\'ve ever had. I absolutely respect the owners for going against what is "regular"(msg filled, preservative filled) and will be coming back! I don't give out 1 stars cause it would have to be really really bad on all counts, across the board. \nI came here one night with my boyfriend after the reviews on Yelp seemed to be okay and we were both craving ramen. \nThey advertise they don't use any MSG. I don't doubt that. The soup had no flavour. The noodles weren't memorable. \n\nIf you like tasteless broth with no MSG, this place is for you. Worst ramen in GTA easily.\n\nI use to go to the ramen store that was located at the same location, it was decent, but closed down. So we decided to try out the new store.\n\nI did not expect amazing ramen, but I can make better ramen than this place at home.\n\nIt is ridiculous that they dare to charge 9 bucks for tasteless soup, bad noodles with extremely salty and dry pork. \n\nDid I mention they put beans and bok choy in your ramen? What the ****? Apparently this place is run by Chinese people and I think I could taste it. The ramen doesn't... really taste like ramen. The broth doesn't have that creaminess. The noodles I had in what I ordered (#38 I think?) were thicker Chinese noodles, not frizzy narrow ramen noodles.\n\nTo me it tasted like Chinese noodle soup - which is really mild tasting compared to Japanese ramen - with a LOT of meat in it. That's a segue into what's good about this place: you get *tons* of meat in your bowl and the meat is really tasty. A friend had a charred up piece of pork (not like standard cha siu in a ramen place - this was like a blackened brick of meat) and it tasted really good. It's like you get a variety of strong tasting meat, with the broth and noodles just there for the hell of it.\n\nAlso, the menu has like.. 60+ different ramen choices on it. It's mostly different meat combinations IIRC.\n\nGiving this place three stars since I found the noodles and broth boring. If I was more of a meat lover (and I thought I was -_-) I'd be super in love with this place. | japanese | 12,589 |
Restaurent name is: Tsuki Izakaya
review: Party of 11. Amazing food. Ordered small Maki platter, small sashimi and Maki platter, grilled octopus, tempura, kalbi, tuna tataki, beef tataki and lots of other dishes as you can imagine as its Izakaya. No complaints at all here. Prices average. \n\nService is a negative score. Informed server of nut allergies and server ensured us no nuts at all on facility. first plate that came out was beef tataki with peanuts sprinkled on top. Big thumbs down. Insensitive and not customer oriented.\n\nBrought a cake to restaurant as mother's day treat. . They didn't mention a service fee nor did they say we cannot bring outside food. They recieved it and refrigerated it with no questions or comments. So thought no problem. \n meal done, asked for cake and server brought to table in tied up box that we brought it in, we had to ask for plates, forks and knife 3 times with server storming off rolling eyes and big puffing breaths to finally bring it to our table. Paper plates, plastic forks and plastic knife. Another 21 thumbs down from our party. \n\nI don't ever expect even good service from Asian restaurants and usually will just suck it up but here is one of my worst experiences. \n\nWould not go back. Service was a bit slow, I think we waited around 30 minutes for our order but the food was good. We had the cheese buldak, spicy salmon bowl and the tomaguro dragon roll. I liked all three, and surprisingly the tomaguro dragon roll was really good despite the tuna and tomato combination. I feel like tsuki changed the menu and the bowls available since the last time I can here. The bowl here really hit my craving. Visited this place for the first time on my birthday with my friends based on Yelp reviews. Can't say it is a bad restaurant but I've experienced better.\n\nThe location is alright. I would say that overall it is located in a good area, situated more or less in Richmond Hill but not too far from downtown Markham. It is located in a plaza with a lot of different variety of restaurants and it can be very hard to find the restaurant especially at night and if you don't already know your way around this plaza then you'll find yourself driving in circles. \n\nDishes are pretty good. I'd say the quality of food is slightly higher than other Japanese places. Had their purple rice for the first time and it tasted great! Prices were a tad more expensive than average but the yummy food made up for it. \n\nService was great; staff was very friendly and greeted you upon entrance and exit. \n\nI'd most likely return but it probably isn't the top Japanese restaurant that I'd recommend to my friends. I loved the interior design of the place! The sushi chefs were positioned on a higher platform so as to be able to oversee all the customers, it looked like. The restaurant's seating was arranged into quadrants with wooden partitions between each party. It was so nice!\n\nWe ordered a lot of izakaya dishes to share. I loved the variety of food we had at this meal. There were both Japanese and Korean items on the menu. They offered items like sushi, udon, ramen, nabe (hot pot), okonomi yaki, and lots of izakaya small dishes.\n\nThe Edamame was the first to arrive. I was pleasantly surprised with how large the portion was. The beans were a bit hard for my taste at first.\n\nThe Nagasaki Chanpon was a large pot of pork broth with veggies, pork, and seafood. You could add noodles to it too. This was great for a cold winter's day. The pork broth was sooo flavourful and delicious!!! I didn't expect that at all. The amount of seafood in it was generous too.\n\nI haven't had Okonomi Yaki in a while. This one was pretty good. It had the Japanese mayonnaise on it and was sweet and tarty. It had slices of pork on it too.\n\nThe Karaage was just okay to me. It was crispy and looked good but lacked seasoning for my taste. It came with a light green onion soy sauce too.\n\nI also ordered an item from the nabe section. This Tamago Mushi was a Korean style steamed egg with shrimp in it! There was a bit of clear broth in it too which was really good. Comfort food to the max!\n\nLast but not least I wanted to try their Tsuki Roll. When it arrived, I was surprised to see that the roll was made with purple rice instead of typical white rice. This was a sold roll; the size was not too big and the raw scallop on top of the dynamite roll was just to my liking. \n\nI liked this meal and definitely wouldn't hesitate to return in the future. The service was really attentive too; the server kept coming by our table to see if we needed anything and to clear empty dishes from our table. I've been recently visiting this place more often because they're open late, and they ALWAYS fulfill my sushi cravings late at night!\n\nThe service here is phenomenal, late at night there's usually only one waitress serving the place, but she always does a great job, very pleasant.\n\nThe sashimi is always fresh, and they're flexible when it comes to substitutions because I mainly like to eat Salmon more than any other fish.\n\nThe seatings in this place are very comfortable, not too loud, and lots of room. Recently found out that this restaurant has taken a part of the Lexus Platinum members group so you can get 10% off if you have the discount card from Lexus! They also have $10.99 pitchers of Sapporo or $4.99 for a pint after 10PM as their special.\n\nI will always be coming here from now on whenever I'm craving for sushi late at night! | japanese | 12,590 |
Restaurent name is: Parkview Nite Club
review: You walk in and immediately you are taken back to the days when longshoremen needed a watering hole to wet their whistles after a long day on Lake Erie. This old westside neighborhood joint does not disappoint. Accompanied by vintage Cleveland sports memorabilia and general Americana nostalgia.\n\nThe food itself was a treat. Starting off with the honey chipotle tacos presents the palate with a sweet starter with a nice kick. Plus, the dish was featured on Guy Fieri's, Diners Drive-ins and Dives. Great dish.\n\nFor my main course I had the Cleveland Steak voted Cleveland's best Cheese Steak in 2007. Great flavor all around but a little steep in price for the size. Parkview also features local beers on tap from Great Lakes Brewing and other domestics.\n\nOverall, Parkview is a local dive with a storied history with a great atmosphere and vibe. Great lunch and dinner spot for any foodie who dabbles in great bar food. Also, a solid live music spot on weekends. Love this place. The chipotle tacos are awesome as well as the fried asparagus. Fun place to go on a Friday or Saturday night before or after a movie at the Capitol theater. Love the old school vibe of the place. Good beer selection too. I love live blues music and this was a great venue! Cheap food and drinks, good service, great music, diverse crowd, divey in a good way, nice and laid-back. Got the blues burger. very good Cajun spices and blues cheese. MMMM second time.\n the bar maid was great too. great place great people. \nband start just a little to late. but over all great place Decent place in Cleveland. Showed up on a slow cold Saturday night. Was able to get a table right away. The burger was ok and staff was very friendly. | american (traditional) | 12,591 |
Restaurent name is: Nirvana
review: Yeah this place is great for cheap and cheerful eats near U of T. I like their sandwiches and the stir fried glass noodles-plenty of vegetables and chicken and shrimp. Also like that most of their entrees come with a salad so you don't have to feel like you're missing out on your veggies. This place is big and expansive-a good student hangout or a good place to bring big groups in general. Hands down or up, this place is cool! I have been a few times over the years and it never fails to peak my interest. It also contains an eclectic mix of furniture and pictures on the walls that's not totally unlike an antique or vintage shop. Have I mentioned that it's also cheap as chips yet? Oh boy, bottled and draft beer is around five bucks, which means you won't have to eat ramen noodles for the rest of the week after hitting up this place on a Saturday night. It also has a wee patio in the front, which is great in the summatime if you manage to snag a spot. Inside, it's a huge open space with loads of seating so you'll rarely have to pick a fight with any of the other friendly happy patrons, which is a huge bonus because while black eyes are bad ass, fat lips aren't attractive.\n\nNirvana has a pretty good selection of Western and Asian fare and I've heard that my favourite meal of the day (ie. brunch) is quite nice. Once I can attest to this and me and my eggs bennie have become one, I'll be sure to let you know. With that said, I will definitely continue to frequent Nirvana in the hopes that one day I'll find my Kurt Cobain. I spend far too much time at this place, which may make my review a little biased, I'm not sure, but I can definitely say I LOVE Nirvana, as does everyone I've ever taken there. \n\nI've been for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, brunch, dessert, you name it; and I don't really have anything bad to say. The service is great (normally overstaffed by friendly ultra-hip twenty-somethings), the food is super inexpensive and served in generous portions, the drinks are delicious, and the decor is lovely. \n\nTheir recent patio addition is really great for people watching in the summer, as is their white wine sangria! As for the food, the sandwiches are all pretty yummy and I really love the pad thai. \n\nAll in all, I feel like there's something for anyone and everyone at Nirvana! Great Loungy Vibe... $15 for pitcher of SteamWhistle...\nDaily drink specials (see attached) This place is a little hidden gem located just down the block from Aunties and Uncles. Went to check out breakfast there, but the line was too long and we were in a pinch for time. Luckily, we found this place which served an AMAZING breakfast with simple, healthy, and fresh ingredients. I was truly surprised and satisfied with my meal and was left full, but not with the sluggish feeling associated with a big meal. Definitely put this place on my list of go-to's for my next venture in Toronto. | asian fusion | 12,592 |
Restaurent name is: La Belle et la Boeuf
review: Not just another gourmet burger joint!\n\nThe place is huge, just opened few weeks ago. I walk by every week on my way home from work and the name is catchy so I decided come and try it out.\n\nThis place is fun! There's always something going, they these themes every night, and the menu has something for everyone. There are so many things I wanna try I definitely have to come back.\n\nThe drinks menu is quite extensive too. They have this one page with large mason jar drinks they are huge and have 4oz of alcohol in it, even with the 16$ price I was tempted to order one.\n\nWe ordered the Elvis gratton burger, which has peanut butter, bacon and bananas. I know it sounds crazy right?, but the peanut was more of a light peanut sauce. It was really tasty, surprisingly! And that my friend is amazing.\n\nI wanna go back with a big group so I can order a whole bunch of things like wings and fried pickles and all the other fun stuff on the menu.\n\nForget the belle give me the beef! Lol Was in montreal for like two days and my assistant said she went here the night before and was apparently already addicted to their poutine so we came back and got some poutine. Guy said the kitchen was closed even though apparently it wasn't so the waitress brought us two orders of poutine, one regs, one with no cheese since I can't eat cheese. The waitress seemed delightfully horrified by this, but was a good sport. Ate said fries and drank some Molson Export like real people. I promoted my assistant when we got back which is unrelated but I told her it was because of the fries. I finally got to try La Belle et la Boeuf. It was really good. I didn\'t get my mind blown, but I was also a bit conservative with my order. I wanted to try a "standard" burger before diving into the crazy stuff on a next visit.\n\nThe burger was really solid. I had the Capitan Flam. The beef is indeed excellent, but there were too many caramelized onions. They really exaggerated, it was a total waste.\n\nThe fries were cold and uninspired. The classic mac and cheese was all right but nothing to write home about. The poutine was also good but again, not mind blowing.\n\nThe cocktails are nice and somewhat reasonably priced, but the dessert was my favourite part. We shared the chocolate chip cookie; it was finger-licking good! \n\nOverall, I enjoyed it, next time I\'ll risk it with a crazier burger like the nuclear or a heart attack. \n\nI would recommend it for a rowdy group of boys looking for a wild night of booze and excessive calories. Went here after my boyfriend saw that it was near the accommodation we were staying at and the Google reviews were 5 stars... That was my first mistake. \n\nThe food here is extremely mediocre, and I can\'t state it more plainly than that. I got "The Beauty" which was a burger that had brie cheese, fig jam, caramelized onions and arugula. This burger should\'ve been an instant winner in my books considering what was in it, but the quality and the flavours were extremely mediocre. I felt like I could have made this at home myself. There is also a choice between fries or mashed potatoes as a side. I thought I would keep it classic and get fries, and they were honestly just fries that had been frozen and cooked from the bag (nothing special). Coleslaw and a fruit punch flavoured pickle are also included. The coleslaw was dry as can be and again, seemed as if it came from a package, and the pickle was just not my cup of tea in terms of flavour profiles... \n\nAll in all I was not impressed. I would advise against the Google reviews and spare yourself $17 on non-fresh ingredients and mediocre flavours. If you\'re visiting Montreal and don\'t know where to eat just read some "best places to eat" lists online and those will steer you in the right direction. The food is good and there are many choice of drinks. Love the place . Recommended :) | american (traditional) | 12,593 |
Restaurent name is: Sunny Street Cafe
review: Absolutely amazing. I had met clients here a few times for coffee and a bagel and it was good. Today I took the family and everything was awesome. I had a Denver Omelette that was perfect. Best that I can remember having anywhere. Kids had pancakes and bacon. Both done to perfection. My wife had eggs and a fruit bowl that was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent as well. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the water wall and the beautiful morning. We will be going back soon I'm sure. Had a great breakfast. Eggs Benedict & Corned beef hash were both good. Excellent ambience. Great food. Great place for weekend brunch The corned beef hash is a must try. Never had s bad meal here, more often than not I get breakfast food. The staff is always friendly and hustling. I actually really like having one tv on sports while having breakfast. I'll be back!! I really wish I could give this place a better review, I really do, because the food was delicious. The careless, almost seemingly intentional terrible service really ruined what I had hoped to be a great breakfast on vacation with my mom. \n\nI got the Salmon Benedict with the fresh fruit and my mom got the Power Breakfast, also with fruit. The delivery of that was prompt, but it was like pulling teeth to get my mom's coffee filled, which was only refilled ONCE. \n\nThe real kicker was the check debacle. We waited patiently for 15 minutes as we watched our waitress (Joanne) walk up and down the aisle, glancing at our check and card, but saying nothing. Finally, I broke down and asked her if we were supposed to take our check up front to pay, and she said yes. THAT would have been nice to know in all the time we were clearly waiting for you to give us directions.\n\nNeither she or the manager seemed to care that out-of-towners weren't familiar with their procedures. Don't assume everyone will know what to do; maybe a little more direction, coffee, and pleasantry would have earned her a healthy tip. | american (new) | 12,594 |
Restaurent name is: Hey Papirrin Mariscos Y Tacos Al Mesquite
review: Not horrible. Out of the 3 joints in the near by area I'll drive past this place and Salsitas and go to Jackie's. Every time. This place does not disappoint! The service is great, it\'s well priced and food is flavorful. I love that I can call my order in and just pick it up. Ask for their "black salsa" for any sea food...it\'s delicious! This was a pretty average experience. I've had plenty of food truck food by now and this particular one falls right in the middle. My wife and I weren't blown away by the food, and the prices weren't as generous as others. I can say that the young girl taking orders and serving the food was kind. Aside from that, we aren't planning a special trip out to this quaint little place on the outer reaches of the west valley again anytime soon. Great spot! Huge, filled burritos & quesadillas. Ordered an al pastor burrito, ham & egg burrito w/ beans & cheese, and asada quesadilla....and they did not skimp you on anything! Pastor & asado were served w/ a salad and limes. I was stuffed....which usually takes a lot for me. Lol Their pina juice was delicious! Will be back! This place is great number on here is incorrect for them, if you need to call there number is 623-853-9035! Love the breakfast burritos! | mexican | 12,595 |
Restaurent name is: Swan Restaurant
review: My fianc\xc3\xa9e and I came here for breakfast as it was close to where we need to attend a workshop.\n\nI've ordered the egg benny with lox. Absolutely did not enjoy it at all. The flavours were bland, I had to add pepper on it. The lox was not tasty aswell. Service was good. \n\nBut did not enjoy the food. The customer service here is the best I have seen so far. Everyone is really polite and very friendly and welcoming. Great stuff. The food is good as well, brussel sprout and hummus breakfast is super delicious! The hot sauce is very tasty, perfect blend of flavours. Also loved the ice coffee. Been here twice, great experience each time. Had the avo toast this time, it was okay pretty basic for 15. Otherwise love this place, get the hummus and brussels. First time here and I love this place. Had the potato mash and the burger on the rye. Ervything. Was cooked perfectly. I will definitely come back. One of my new favourites on queen west Amazing amazing brussel sprout! Went there for brunch and I was very happy with the food. It was well seasoned , crispy and buttery. They also have a patio around the corner that's really cute. Staff are also very friendly. We go/used to go there quite frequently for brunch, also with friends and family, because we live in the neighborhood. It looks like recently the owner or at least name changed slightly but the food on the menu seems to be the same. \n\nThe Brussel sprouts with Hummus are excellent and I get them pretty much every time we go there. I was super disappointed however that you changed the bread without warning! Bring back the real bread, seriously. I don't like toast and if I pay $15 for a meal I expect more than that, especially becaue it used to be great the way it was! Please let me know when you serve sourdough bread again.\n\nService is always very fast and friendly and the ambiance of the place is nice, especially if you get a cozy booth. | american (traditional) | 12,596 |
Restaurent name is: Ninny's Chicago Style Hot Dogs
review: Great dogs, owner and family are from Chicago. I grew up in Chicagoland, and this is as close to home as it gets. Ditka would approve. So I as well was kind of looking forward to this place. And as one person said. Yes Retro Dog (which I dislike greatly) finally has a good competitor. Anyways So from the first sentence I bet your saying. O well why doesn't he give it five stars? read the whole review first.\nThe outside of the place looks unchanged but from what I understand from the previous company in that spot its owned by Stricklands and thusly what you can do is extremely limited. Anyways. The inside was an amazing job of a rework. brick looking walls. N's all over the place a chicago feel for sure. So how about the food. It was good. Simple menu nothing fancy. Fries maybe a tiny bit more of seasoning. They were literally straight up potatoes. Price. wow. amazing. Now why am I missing two stars. All the previous reviews talk about how nice the people working there are. Owner etc etc etc. I don't think the owner was working there when I went. There were two young ladies working there. Though not rude , I wouldn't say they were nice and welcoming. They seemed to just be there... working. They may have been the owner kids. Which is respectable having family work. But if its a small local place I expect ... like... hello there.... welcome to........ how are you doing today... or something like that. One seemed much more experienced than the other. Other than that the place is great. I would recommend it to anyone. So, first of all I love a good hot dog.\nI was very excited to see this place not too far from home. Tried it tonight and was disappointed. The 1/4 dog was good, could have been hotter. The chili was passable. Fries were the coated kind, like the ones popular in the 90's. Either fresh cut or crinkle is the way to go. I ordered the onion rings for $3.50, got 5 rings. All small and cooked in too hot oil, so they were too crispy. Also the young lady forgot to drop them and I didn't get them until done with the dog.\nInterior seating was .two very small tables, so not much decor.\nOverall I was disappointed in the place. Great food, great prices...just dont count on eating there!!! lol Here is the place to go for a true Chicago style dog without the 5 hour drive. Amazing chili dogs and Polish Sausages.\nI can't wait to try their other items. \nYou Definitely will not be disappointed.\nDo not let the small restaurant fool you. \nShe can compete with the best. | american (traditional) | 12,597 |
Restaurent name is: Centre Des Mets Chinois
review: Not good at all. Slow delivery, food bland and tom yum soup outrageously priced (5$ for a small cup) and was inedible. Burnt egg rolls, soggy everything. Yuck. Oh. My. God. Special #8, choice of general tao, sauce on the side for the pineapple chicken, white rice instead of fried rice, comes with egg rolls and cantonese chow mein, for 1 person. all for $11.95. \n\nI cannot get enough. It's enough to feed 2 people, and to make you STUFFED. best. thing. I. ever. discovered. Just finishing up dinner from here right now. I ordered a wonton soup, chicken with broccoli, and steamed white rice. I asked for Lo Mein noodles but they don't make that so maybe this will get me to try different things. Person I spoke to on the phone spoke clearly which was nice. Delivery was prompt. Wonton soup was good though there was more broccoli than chicken in the main dish! It was a large portion and I think that next time I see if I can get a size smaller. A good first experience. Oh, before I forget, also not too pricey..all of this only for eleven dollars. Je ne suis pas treees fine gueul.. Alors jai trouver cela tres bien! Pour un tit souper leger, legumes et soupe! Tres bien. Avant d'entrer dans le restaurant j'avais regard\xc3\xa9 les prix des plats. Quand on m'a donn\xc3\xa9 le menu \xc3\xa0 l'int\xc3\xa9rieur les prix n'\xc3\xa9taient pas pareils (ils avaient \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 chang\xc3\xa9s \xc3\xa0 la main). Le d\xc3\xa9cor \xc3\xa9tait bien. Par contre, je ne sais pas \xc3\xa0 quoi je devais m'attendre en commandant une soupe de Yet ca mein aux l\xc3\xa9gumes,mais j'ai \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 d\xc3\xa9\xc3\xa7ue. Les nouilles venaient fort probablement d'un sachet de nouilles ramens. Quand j'ai re\xc3\xa7u mon bol, les nouilles \xc3\xa9taient encore en forme carr\xc3\xa9! De plus, le bouillon \xc3\xa9tait tr\xc3\xa8s sal\xc3\xa9 (peut-\xc3\xaatre simplement l'enveloppe d'\xc3\xa9pices qui vient avec les nouilles?) tout \xc3\xa7a, accompagn\xc3\xa9 de quelques l\xc3\xa9gumes cong\xc3\xa9s. Le go\xc3\xbbt \xc3\xa9tait correct, le service aussi.\n\nSi vous voulez manger des yet ca mein de qualit\xc3\xa9, ce n'est probablement pas la place id\xc3\xa9ale. | chinese | 12,598 |
Restaurent name is: King's Family Restaurants
review: Dirt, filth, low quality food cooked by underpaid disgruntled employees, late night drunks, good ice cream. All things one can expect from the Bridgeville King's.\n\nI suppose if you are desperately hungry this place will do, but I really advise you to get back on I-79 and look for something better. There's usually some road-kill and you can pull the marrow out of the bones to survive (thanks for that lesson Bear Grylls). It's king's so you know what you are getting. It is a low priced diner/restaurant. Good breakfast served by older locals. Nice to see places like this still exist. Friendly service. After a bad experience with the service at Max and Erma's it was a nice change. The food was quickly served and delicious. Worked there for several months as a server, so I dont want to say too much but lets just say I agree with Stefanie B. (In a different review) on the cleanliness of the place, although they're getting better.. Also a lot of drugs moving between the staff, so not the best work environment.. but, the breakfast food is pretty good! Well just checked out of Hampton Inn and looking for a diner. We remember eating here a few yrs ago when in town. So we are here I between lunch and dinner to nice n quiet. Salad was fresh with homemade croutons even beet greens. Soup was hot n hearty beef barley. Skeleton crew on Sunday I guess not so busy. His meatloaf was good. I ordered pecan encrusted Talapia and I came out raw in middle. So I had to send it back. Bummer. But it was hot and crispy when I came back! My petite green beans were delish and real mashed potatoes. Needed a little sweet finish so we split a piece of hot apple pie with "cinnamon" ice cream. Well the pie was mm good. No discount at end of bill... | american (traditional) | 12,599 |
