Great place for breakfast! I love french toast (realizing it's pretty hard to mess it up) and this was one of best I've had. I went with the basic just to see how it stacks up to my fave (Mon Ami brunch) and it was comparable for sure. The portions are huge so my breakfast turned into lunch and dinner! They have great coffee - french press is my go-to at home so it's nice to have it at a restaurant. Server was a little slow to return at first, it was still early morning and it wasn't very busy so I would've expected a more prompt return but she never left us hanging after that. will return for sure! | 12

The food was good considering it is a buffet. Nice ambiance. The desserts weren't as good as the other buffets I've been to on the strip; kinda boring. For the $$$, definitely not worth it! For being a new buffet on the strip they really should've brought something new and different from the rest. | 01

locals here in las vegas and decided to check out the new SLS & decided on brunch at the buffet. Beautiful decor, Friendly staff , handsome managers & great food. Must spend the extra $12 for the unlimited bloody mary and mimosa! crepe station was a lovely touch you don't see everywhere. Love great customer service, so when manager greets us & asks how we are doing. ...it's a big plus. Can't wait to come back for dinner. | 12

Came here for brunch when they opened and it was wonderful! Great and personable staff, which is SO rare for a buffet. They had a bunch of yummy breakfast stuff my boyfriend and I really enjoyed. They also had mostly Asian food out for lunch, and it included sushi! It was only $45 for the two of us, and for being on the strip as well as the quality, that was the cherry on top. I will be back to try dinner. | 12

Paid holiday brunch price for Breakfast on Labor Day Weekend and it is a decent buffet but doesnt measure up to Wynn, Bellagio, M Resort, Aria, Cosmo, Caesars considering the similar premium prices. So many buffets to choose from in Vegas and there is nothig special about this buffet that would warrant a driving north. \n\nNote: Mimosa and Bloody Marys were not included in the premium price. \n\nAlso note while most casinos reward programs like Cosmo and MLife reward you for spending money when you dine, SLS does not. | 01

Hotel just opened last week, so this buffet is brand new. So place is still very clean. I tried the brunch, cost per person $31 plus tax. \n\nService is good. Staff is friendly and very attentive, which always a plus these places. \n\nFood selection, I feel they need to add more selection or spread. Flavor is good though . I am comparing to My favorite buffet which is Wicked spoon, next is Bacchanal. \n\nI think we need to come back for dinner. This place looks promising. | 12
|
weak selection and lackluster in taste on most \""hot entree\"" items and they didn't serve them hot - desserts mediocre at best and selection was .... \""yawn\"" - service was \""ok\"" however after drink refills - nobody was bussing plates or table touching, ask for a manger and was told there unavailable at this time. \n\nfloored - | 01

Alright SLS you made an impact making this sahara hotel something new but when you want more people to come here you gotta be a big hit. unfortunately the food did not hit the spot. the only thing was good was the hostess that gave us 2 for 1 because we are locals that came out to about $32 for two people otherwise it would have been $30 a person i really would have been dissapointed if i paid that price and ate the food not liking it...they need to have more varieties and food was bland. i will say this though i had this custard crossiant that was delish and they offered crepes on the spot those were good features for sunday brunch i guess | 01

The Skinny: meager selection with 2 outstanding items for a regular $30/person brunch or $40/person dinner (2) service/ambience: okay, kind of inconsistent service with bad live music at dinner (2) value: okay if you are a local and take advantage of their 2 for 1 deal...otherwise too pricey for what you get (2)\n\nFYI - they serve Pepsi products here.\n\nWe came here to experience the 2 for 1 locals buffet deal. We came in at the tail end of the brunch to take a look at their brunch items and their dinner selection.\n\nConsidering the bounty of high end buffets on the Strip, the relatively meager offerings for the price was the first thing that struck me as I checked out the selection. However the main question is does the quality make up for it?\n\nThe hubs tried their cold cuts and cheese selection which were a decided pass. The salads were okay while the smoked salmon selection were surprisingly bland. Snow crab legs were plentiful. Oysters and cooked mussels were offered during dinner that I did not try. Checked out their Italian section which consisted of 3 types of pasta (meh) and some really anemic looking pizza.\n\nSauteed vegetables were not good. Zucchini were cut haphazardly and too large to cook evenly. Not a fan of the super charred cauliflower. The broccolini with almonds were okay.\n\nThe Indian offerings of chicken makhani(poorly spiced, not smoky and not rich enough), cauliflower curry (bland), chicken biryani (dry and scary looking) cannot compare to any standard $11 Indian lunch buffet in terms of quality not to mention price. And this takes up a good amount of space. Sushi was okay - your standard AYCE joint off Strip is still way better due to pre made too long factor at the buffet. The Chinese food was slightly better quality than your regular buffet offerings however still not great. \n\nFor roasted meats, I was surprised that the prime rib was so overdone. The closest to rare was basically medium well. Ribs were too dry.\n\nThe only savory thing that was outstanding for me was their Peking chicken (yes, chicken! No duck) The five spice powder/ crispy skin made for a flavorful combination.\n\nDuring brunch they did have some fruit available however with dinner there was no fruit to be found.\n\nDessert was a disappointment in general. For the diabetics, there are no sugar free options.Their brownies were more cake like. The peach cobbler used canned peaches with too much nutmeg and it had this really bad greasy pie crust on top. That is not peach cobbler! To be honest I am not sure what to call it. Bread pudding was too texturally mushy while the panna cotta was overly solid.\n\nCupcakes were a wash. The so-called Boston cream cupcake were plain flavorless yellow cake mix with substandard chocolate frosting. No custard or pudding....WTF? Red velvet with cream cheese frosting was also quite bad and rather bland. Yeah, don't ask me how that happened but there it is.\n\nThe crepe batter was weird. Not enough butter and eggs made for a poorer texture. The cold goopy caramelized bananas did not help as well and would have been better just cut fresh. The crepes themselves were misshapened and relatively uneven in thickness.\n\nThe ice cream/gelato selection was limited to about 6 flavors of which none were really worth going back for (tried Nutella, mint chip, strawberry, cookies and cream). Artificial and icy in texture, Haagen Daz or Talenti from the supermarket tastes better.\n\nThe best thing here was the fried mini donuts with cinnamon and sugar. Light and crispy, we waited an hour into dinner service before this was available. Glad we waited for it.\n\nOur server was quite good in the beginning however she was slow to refill glasses and remove our plates after about an hour. Seeing as how the restaurant was only 50% capacity, it was kind of weird. Ambience wise, they brought out some bad live music performer who did crappy covers of Eric Clapton and George Michael during dinner service. Unfortunately it was rather loud especially when he failed to hit the high notes.\n\nGiven how we paid half price, the experience was okay for what we paid. However at full price? Definitely not worth the price of admission. Considering your plethora of options out there, I would rather pay more for a better quality product. Instead making rather poor renditions of various ethnic food that is done better and cheaper elsewhere, they should really focus on improving the quality of their basics first (ie, roasted meats, pizza, pastas, ice cream offerings) and add a few kid friendly items like a really good macaroni and cheese.\n\nThe buffet shows signs of struggling as they now only open 3 days a week (Friday-Sunday). I guess that is why they are offering 2 for 1 for locals. As much as I'd like the new kid in town to succeed, I still would have to give it a 2 star review in comparison to much better options around town. | 01

My husband and I went to the buffet on a Thursday night. It's located on the 2nd floor. ..kinda secluded. I could smell the aroma of fresh doughnuts down the hall. The buffet is a bit pricey about 40 a person but we're locals so we got a buy one get one! The selection isn't as large as most buffets but the quality was on point!!! The food was very flavorful. .even the pizza..so darn good! I loved the pasta and the grilled cauliflower with bacon yum! They make there own pastries...I wanted to take some cookies n cream Gelato with me and the gave me a to go cup and filled it up:) One of the guys working named sonny was so friendly and he talked with us for a bit...thank you sonny for making a great night more memorable! Will definitely be going back. | 12

From reading everyone review make me thing I could be wrong. But after trying this over-price buffet I would give it a zero if yelp would allow me. \nFor starter, they were under staff on Sunday night. The food selections was EXTREMELY small in portion. Which does not meet the qualification of ALL YOU CAN EAT. They kept running out of foods. I had to go back three times before I got any crab leggs. They ran out of spoon for soup. Had to go back to ask for spoons. In the dim sum section, they was nothing but empt bamboo container. No dim sum. I see everyone else with fried noodles, sushi, pork hash. Yet when you get there. There's nothing left. Like I said I had to go back three time before I got what I want. Not a lot of option on food items on this buffet. The Indian section was poor selection. Cauliflower curry? Really? Not enough flavor in any of the dishes. \nAlso it was an hour into my meal before I got my drinks refill, I didn't even know who my server was. The hostess took my drinks order when I got back from getting my foods the first round my drinks was there. \nAs for the desert, twenty thumbs down. I got crepes which was poorly made by the pastery maker. The batter was not mix right. Mine look like it's been drop and poke with twenty forks. He had to confident to give it to me. Wow! My mouth dropped. I can't bake. I could of done a better job. I would of been embarrassed to service myself yet someone else with crepes that look like that. I really like the small portion of the deserts but again, it took me forever to find spoons to eat those tastely deserts. The red velvet cupcake was hard as a rock. Everything else was so bland. Not enough flavor, sugars to call it deserts. \nFor the price they charge you're better off at Wicked Spoons.. better yet pay the extra $20 more at Bachannal. Get your money worth. I'm a local and I work in travel industry myself. I like to explore different restaurants to recommend to my customers. Unfortunately I would not recommend SLS buffet. I was truly disappointment I was $43 plus tips. The quality of the foods where not there. I can't think one single items I was in wow off that makes me want to go back. | 01
|
Regular price is $40. Got the 2-for-1 special. Otherwise, I wouldn't go. None of it was good but it wasn't awful though. I just wouldn't pay $40 for what I got. The best part was probably the prime rib and gelato. | 01
|
We TRIED to go to the buffet on Tuesday eve for dinner, but found it was closed Mon-Thurs. This wouldn't have been so bad if it weren't for the fact there is absolutely NO signage informing you of this until you make the ridiculously long trek down multiple hallways to get to the entrance. WTF, SLS?! | 01
|
Sunday night Buffet was boring, waiter don't pick up use plates like other buffet do. Foods are not attractive, mostly overcooked veggie, rice, pasta and beans. Indian biriyani ...are you kidding I cook better than upscale restaurant. I paid for unlimited drink charge on my stay, don't know where is the bar is. Not much helping waiters. I'm not big fan of buffet but trying to see what they offers at newly open luxury hotel. Don't waste your money go Taco stand or McDonald | 01
|
Got it for free...sign up with their play card \""The Code\"" and get 500 points..u will get 2 free buffets good for 48 hours. I played $100 and it got me to 1000 points. If u don't use it, u will play $40...bottomless mimosas for $12 | 12

This is a great buffet! Although nearly every casino hotel in Vegas has a buffet, the SLS Buffet falls in the rare category of special. Upon walking down the buffet line, you realize that the dishes make sense and complement each other...it's like the chef is telling you a story, and it's a delicious journey!\n\nThe buffet doesn't have the varied selections like Bacchanal or Bellagio, but it has its own personality. There could be more cold options, but the meat and cheese display is fantastic! I love soups, and there was an abundant selection of soups...4 types if you count the cioppino.\n\nThe prime rib is fantastic. It beats Wicked Spoon hands down, and it's perfect! The seasonings are excellent, the meat is naturally tender and the flavor is exactly the way prime rib should taste...heaven!\n\nThe crab legs were kind of unimpressive; and the shrimp cocktail was slightly overcooked but seasoned well. The seafood boil was overcomplicated, and the oysters were standard fare.\n\nI was a bit confused with the Indian cuisine...I remember when Aria tried to do Indian, but Aria had delicious naan bread!\n\nThe best section was the Chinese section...it felt like an authentic dim sum restaurant! Chicken feet, pork knuckles, and other tasty Asian treats. Most impressive!!!\n\nWe got to meet Adam, the GM of the SLS Buffet. What an awesome guy! Service was good because of Adam. Adam explained the concept, decor, and the whole thought process. There is so much potential for this place!\n\nA few more options to choose, and less steamed rice (they had basmati rice, jasmine rice, and brown rice).\n\nCan't wait to come back and see what else is new and improved next time! | 12
|
Greath\nGood and great food seafood and service I highly recommend dinning at the sls buffet | 12
|
I'm a firm believer of second chances ..that's what I did with SLS buffet ..but it was a disappointment they have Indian section and being Indian myself its horrible ... Basmati rice is not cooked right and to begin with it's not basmati I have eaten rice all my life and if you can't get the rice right you can't serve good Indian food. Dessert was another disappointment other than raspberry gelato everything else did not have any taste . It's over priced and bad food . The reason I gave 2 stars was for the staff and ambience | 01
|
UPDATE: THIS BUFFET HAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED!\n\nhttp://vegas.eater.com/2014/11/10/7189237/and-now-for-the-first-shutter-at-sls-las-vegas\n\nSLS president Scott Kreeger said the second-floor location \""is doing OK, but not hitting out of the park\"" as compared to the other hotel-casinos restaurants.\n\nNo doubt! Have any of these wizards even been to a competitor's buffet to see where they went so wrong?? | 01
|
Great place, everyone was so friendly and attentive. The price special 2 for 1 for locals comes down to $20.00 a person. The food is very good and vegetables are fresh not overcooked, my boyfriend and I went on a Saturday night and fell in love with their Prime Rib and desserts. | 12
|
Disappointing. For $39.99 per person, they should be ashamed of themselves to charge so much for such a small, weak selection of food. We went on Sunday, the last day before they closed. \n\nI hope whoever is in charge of SLS and their buffet reads into not just Yelp reviews, but any type of feedback they can access to.\n\nPersonally, I don't think it's the location that made SLS Buffet version1.0 a failure. I mean, look at the other popular buffets locations in other hotels on the strip. Cosmopolitan's Wicked Spoon buffet comes to mind. Isn't their location out in the boonies? Or look at Planet Hollywood's Spice Market Buffet. They, too, also have to take an escalator to get to their buffet area. All in all, it's really the QUALITY and VARIETY of what you bring to the table (literally). \n\nOnce entering into the buffet dining area, I noticed a change of...theming. All of a sudden....I thought I was eating at some restaurant in the cabin/woods. I thought I even saw some deer or buffalo heads mounted on the walls??? =/ What the...?! Tables looked very picnic-esque. \n\nAlso, it felt like just because it was the last night, employees were slacking....or they simply just don't give a F%*# anymore. Case in point: soup section. Here I am....seeing two different types of chowders all dried and crusted. But my crazy ass still wanted to give it a try. Okay but um...where are the spoons?? I told the girl that was behind the counter they were out of soup spoons. She said okay and disappeared. I waited for 5-7 minutes. There was no sight of her. I'd still be there waiting if they didn't close this place down. So I drank my soup like a barbarian...basically I slurped it up. LOL! And omg...it tasted like it was STRAIGHT FROM A CAN and it was probably two days old. I was horrified.\n\nNothing looked fresh. They labeled some chicken to be curry chicken. I thought, great! I'm a big fan of curry. Once I got to my table, the chicken was 100% NOT curry!!!!!! It was full on tomato sauce chicken. WTF!? Ugh...disappointed once more.\n\n\nSeriously, QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY, SLS. I'm glad we went when they had a 2 for 1 locals special. Don't charge a general price of $40 per person for dinner when really....tourists WILL go to somewhere that's at least 3x better; even if they have to pay an additional $10. \n\nCharging Wicked Spoon pricing for a Station buffet. Wow. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?! | 01

Banana Monkey Bread\nBear Claw\nChocolate Cranberry Scone\n\nLocated just past the entrance of the new SLS and slinging LAMill Coffee from 6am until ten o'clock in the evening every day of the week it was largely a result of my early arrival for breakfast at The Griddle Caf\u00e9 that brought me to the cusp of The Perq and although I knew the meal to follow was bound to be hearty I simply couldn't resist the combination of warm pastries and welcoming baristas, the results a three part order tasted on site and finished later in the day with across-the-board impressive results. In some ways a bizarre space with a long bar juxtaposing the coffee counter and several small tables laid out beneath a textured ceiling gleaming with light The Perq concept is one set to evolve with progression of the day and reportedly baking fresh every ninety minutes (or faster as supply demands) with breakfast transitioning to lunch around 11:00am it was to nearly a dozen warm options that I was tempted at 6:15 and although a pair of fruit tarts beckoned along with a truffled Gruyere scone my order eventually settled on items far more sweet, the fresh scone pocketed with spots of sugar and dollops of butter alongside dark chocolate and bursting berries providing a lovely first bite before I delved into a well laminated bearclaw filled with dense yet subtle frangipane that stands tall alongside that of Henderson's Friendly Donuts for best in the city, though the Strip based Casino admittedly commands nearly three times the price. Indulging last in a selection warmed-and-topped-to-order it was finally in The Perq's caramel topped banana monkey bread that I partook and although rumor has it that lunch fares even better than breakfast with cookies, desserts, and gelato-panini taking center stage I'd be hard pressed to imagine any of them better than the textbook brioche pull-apart studded with caramelized bananas, though I unquestionably plan to return and find out, and next time with a cold-brew in hand. | 12
|
As I stood in line to sample the gelato, I noticed there was stepped on pastries and drops of blood on the floor. Both appeared to have been there for a while and I wondered why it was not taken care of because Perq was empty. The gelato sample I was given was minuscule so I could hardly tell if I really liked the gelato. I was thinking about buying a cookie but after seeing the $4.75 price tag I did not see the value. \n\nI ended up speaking to the director of operations and asked why the cookie was priced highly and all he said was he never had a chocolate chip cookie he didn't like. I was hoping he would tell me the quality of ingredients and taste are worth the price. He didn't do a good job convincing me to buy the cookie nor did I feel like he valued my business so I left. If Perq wants to survive charging inflated prices they need to maintain the cleanliness of the shop and be able to sell their product. | 01

Staff is really friendly and the strawberry rhubarb danish was so good! | 12
|
Hopefully you are only a coffee addict. After all, you could have the double duty of caffeine addiction and gambling, and that would be awfully bad.\n\nComing to Perq (I refuse to say the \""the\"" in front), is plenty worth the wait. You see, your kinda held captive, as it's the only offering of coffee in the hotel. The line on weekends is 10-20 deep on weekends, so there's no quick fix.\n\nA small bakery selection, and all the regular stuff (espresso, lattes), with one special feature, a Liquor Affogato, and I can only imagine what its like.\n\nCute attire + nice design - no WIFI = 4.0 stars. | 12
|
Since this is the only coffee shop in the casino you are likely going to end up ordering here if you just want a danish and coffee and not the buffett on weekends or Griddle Cafe. There is a Mcdonalds and Starbucks within walking distance and an IHOP if willing to walk a couple of blocks toward the stratosphere.\n\nThis place is pricey as my ham and cheese croissant was 650 and a regular croissant was 350. Even in NYC where i live you can get a better croissant for around 250 at Hot and Crusty. Neither the ham and cheese or an apple turnover was even heated which alteast would have made this obviously previously frozen pasties edible. Only reason I ate here twice was with a friend who has gold status at Hilton so had a 15 dollar credit and he was nice enough to share his money with me. I only could find one plus which for a coffee shop in this day and age is a no no. Only reason gets 2 stars was coffee was not bad and atleast had enough seats. | 01
|
Rarely do I make the effort to write a review, and usually I do because Ive had the worse experience ever. That was the case today. First they were scheduled to open at 6a.m but wasnt ready until roughly 6:45, which force a number of us to wait. I ordered a vanilla latte, and the barista said she didnt have flavor lattes but only regular latte and that I would have to wait 30 minutes for a flavor latte. I proceded to get a regular latte and underneath her tongue she said \""asshole\"". Now, all I asked her was a simple question. I wont be going back here and to SLS anytime soon. Not only food quality was poor but their customer service reaked. | 01
|
I tried to visit The Perq at 6am when it was advertised to be open. To my dismay, they were not open but still preparing to open. I waited patiently for this place to be open even after 6am but gave up when it was evident that the workers were busy having a drawn out conversation instead of opening. Instead, I went to the Griddle Cafe to get some food and by the time I came back, it was still not open. If the hotel advertises The Perq to be open at 6am, it should be open at 6am.\n\nI wanted to give this place a second chance so I came back another day in the morning. There was a decent size line. Unfortunately, all the croissants and pretty much all the food for that matter was gone. It was definitely slim pickings in terms of pastries. I was disappointed that I didn't get to eat. Instead I had purchased a pumpkin spice latte. It was okay, but would have preferred it from Starbucks across the street. I love the decor and ambiance, but I need some food and also be open when advertised. | 01

I used to work near there other location and when it closed and said they were moving I hoped to be able to find. Then while driving home one day from work I saw the new location, and boy was I happy, its within my work commute and close enough to make a regular lunch time stop. \n\nI stopped one morning on the way to work and was happy to see they have a drive thru, I ordered a egg, potato and cheese burrito and had pico de gallo added to it. I have to say it was a great tasting breakfast burrito.\n\nA few days later I met up with my friend for lunch and I ordered the #20, it's a carne asada burrito with beans and rice, this did not disappoint! So good! \n\nI'm pleased to see Salazar Bros back, its great seeing everyone, and loving the new spot! | 12
|
I used to eat at Salazar Bros over 10 years ago and just recently rediscovered it. They are just as awesome now as they were then! Great food, big portions at a very reasonable price. The restaurant is very clean and the service is fast and friendly. I'll definitely be going back...a lot! | 12
|
I am falling more in love with this place each and every day. Super clean eating area and the back area looks spanking clean too. Friendly service, great burritos, and the tamales are soo soo good. Smells like Mexican Food Heaven in here my friends - good for a quick breakfast/lunch bite or late night grub after a night on the town. | 12
|
Salazar Bros food comes faster and fresher than the competition up the street. They are also more friendly. I have only had carne asada burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas so far and all were delicious. The meat was tender.. and the beans were magical ;) oh ya and the sauce is titties. Get drunk and try this shit out b | 12
|
This place opened up a few months ago so I finally went in to give it a try. Walking in I notice its very nice and clean. The food was better than I expected. I had the 2 Carne Asada taco plate with beans and rice included. The tacos had pico de gallo and guacamole on them included. Everything was delicious. My boyfriend had the Shrimp Burrito which we asked if they would make it a Chimichanga and they did even though it wasn't on the menu. The Shrimp Chimichanga came with shrimp, rice, tartar sauce, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and cheese. He said it was amazingly good. We are definitely going back plus very close by to us. | 12
|
Finally! We have a chipotle in the East side. I love chipotle, but this one tops many that I have been to. On all the occasions I've been here they have never been stingy with their portions. I always ask for extra hot sauce and corn and they truly do give me extra. Restaurant is always clean and workers work at a fast paste. I would definitely come back. | 12
|
I don't own a gun but I've shot a few bullseyes using my bf's PX4 storm. He wanted to check out the new local gun shop since we're frequent shoppers in this plaza. \n\nEmployees are really friendly, helpful & appreciative of their customers. They know their customers by name. Perfect! \n\nDecided I need some sort of protection, so I bought pepper spray for $8.06 after tax. I was surprised how competitive the prices are. Love it! | 12
|
Went there last night to buy ammo and a gift card. The people there are so nice and helpful ! I will send every one I know there and alway come back ! It was great going in to there store and being able to find what I needed and not having to wait! | 12

I have been going to Inferno Hot Pilates for almost 1year. I was having a hard time loosing that stubborn 10-15 lbs & the cyclone spin 45 min class really helped bump up that extra burn I needed. It's a fun class if you like to jam to music, glow in the black lights and get a good sweat. I do 2 classes a week of cyclone spin for (cardio with heavy resistance) alternating hot Pilates, bikini bottom, & lifting on my own. \nThe cyclone mix class is equally amazing, as you work hard on the bike for 30 minutes then move to bootcamp work!!! It's tough, but awesome! \nI love the friend like atmosphere with Gabi and all the inferno peeps always pushing each other to be better everyday!! It's inspiring and keeps me coming back for more!!! :-) | 12
|
Best class in the valley,, been doing this class for 3 weeks now & love it and love Gabi & Julie,, thanks for a great workout ! | 12
|
Can't say enough good things about this class! I don't usually stray from my hot Pilates and I'm not a cardio lover but I'm addicted to cyclone!!! Love it!! I really love the cyclone boot camp. I've seen incredible changes in by body. This class is a must try. You won't be disappointed! It's so fun!!! | 12
|
Cyclone Bootcamp will leave you soaked and strong! 1/2 of the class is the most fun cycling you will ever do with motivating music and black lights. Your having so much fun you forget it's a workout! The 2nd 1/2 is resistance training with kettlebels or TRX... and more cardio... Burpees anyone? Gabi always makes it interesting and always challenges us to safely push out of our comfort zones. A must try for any fitness level. | 12
|
Amazing! Lots of exercises on the bike, variety of speeds & resistance, wonderful energy. The music is awesome, plus black lights...so fun & a great workout. | 12
|
I have been to a number of different spin classes at various gyms in Las Vegas and Cyclone is definitely unique from the others and also one of my favorite classes! Gabi has amazing energy to keep you going through the class. She is constantly switching positions so you don't get bored on the bike and she incorporates a lot of arm movements for a great total body workout. She choreographs the spinning with the music and dims the lights, creating a fun atmosphere. The 45 minutes goes by very quickly! I highly recommend! | 12
|
When you walk in the aroma of fresh baked goods hits you immediately, followed by a friendly greeting and smile - what a great start!\n\nNext, I'm offered a sample, I try the strawberry puff pastry, as I bite into it, I realize it's still warm! Wow!\n\nSold! I bought 4 and they threw in 2 more for good measure.\n\nI also bought an Apple Napple [my 808 peeps know all about these!]\n\nI'm definitely coming back to buy specialty items from them in the near future! :) | 12
|
Tracy is amazing! She took me from almost black, to almost platinum blonde in 2 visits without damaging my hair! I've been to her multiple times now and she always listens to what I want and actually does it, unlike some stylists who just do what they want. Best bob cut I've ever had | 12
|
My husband and I walked in on the grand opening and were the only one's there. All the food was cold ,the noodles were gummy ,and customer service wasn't all that great.We both agreed to give them another chance if we ever see the place filled with customers because the food is bearable and its close by the house. | 01

This was King which had decent service and acceptable if not great food. I was in the Plaza and saw Sakura is now open. It was truly sad While a brand new business may not be able to keep the steam table food fresh if there are virtually no diners. there has to be some level of interest and or service.\nI spoke my weak Mandarin greeting and also tried to make conversation with the male host. With possibly two other booths or tables occupied I was seated next to a man who truly was asleep during my entire visit.\nWaitress was seated within eye view with a second waitress. Both playing with their mobil phones. My waitress spoke English but did not say three words to me and did not even take my plate away until after I was on my third plate. No one said a word as I walked by the host and another employee. They saw me but I might as well have been leaving in a box. The octopus and salmon were very good. Most food was barely passable to sub par.They have done a nice job with their renovation and greatly increased the number of steam tables. They might have saved their money,\nleft it as it was, and concentrated on food and service to start. Price was modest but I would not want it if it was free. I was there at 5 PM. If you want to try the place you might walk by the steam tables first prior to being seated. I hope your experience is much better than minem | 01

Decided to try this tonight because we received a coupon for a free meal. My advice - it's not worth going even if it's free.\n\nWe were greeted and seated. With many empty tables around, we were seated at one that was dirty and sticky. When I asked about beer choices, the hostess had to look across the restaurant at the cooler. Served beer with chilled glasses, but we opted to drink out of the cleaner looking bottles.\n\nFood was sub-par, at best. Nothing was great, or even good. My son, who will literally eat just about everything and loves all manner of Asian food, went for the pizza after trying several options. I've never seen him leave so much on his plate!\n\nMany of the options weren't labeled, like the flavors of ice cream, sushi rolls, etc. One thing that weirded me out - the chocolate fountain with marshmallows sat right next to the marinated octopus. Not so appetizing! \n\nThe ambiance was similar to an old Kmart diner, especially the lighting. There was masking tape covering holes in the wall and post - it notes numbering the tables. The wire mesh condiment holders on the tables still had the price tags on them.\n\nI could continue, but there is no point. Won't ever return. | 01

Sadly very very bad! Was hoping for better food, but no! Not going back any time soon | 01
|
I went back for a third time today, Saturday at 1:30 PM.The second visit was really bad. Today was better but only up to 2*s.This time there might have been as many customers as employees? On my 2nd visit I did not get the senior discount even after\nagain requesting it Today again told the lifeless \nhost I am a senior. My bill again was full price but was adjusted. The waitress works hard and is pleasant but zero contact beyond plate pick up. I again enterred and left with two words being said.Thevfood was passable to poor. There was nothing good.\nI am very easy to please. | 01
|
Good food, buffet style. Restaurant is very empty for a Friday night, could be because it's Halloween. Some items in the buffet are not labeled so minus one star. Happy otherwise! | 12
|
Food was fairly cold, came here because my parents wanted to have those all you can eat crab which was completely unfresh, but what can you expect from a 10 dollar buffet? The only thing that was decently good was from the habachi grill and the 2.79 beer which was great but apart from that, server was meh. And the oyster was dry as well. 2 stars cause of the beer though. | 01
|
This was the worst buffet I have been to yet! The food was old and odd tasting. When I go to a buffet I expect mediocre food but this stuff was inedible. We went there because we got a Bogo coupon in the mail that had multiple pictures of crab legs on it which left me to believe there would be crab legs for the dinner buffet. There were not. I've never been scared that I might get food poisoning from something I ate until tonight. I'm crossing my fingers I don't. This is the first time I left a buffet still hungry because I couldn't stand to eat more than one bite of anything I tried. The atmosphere was really weird too. There was music playing and tv's playing prime time shows with the volume on. I'm just glad that I had the coupon and didn't pay full price or I would have been really bummed. Never again! | 01
|
First of all, who trains the wait staff here?!? I've come a few times and the service is disastrous! Going 20 minutes without water is atrocious when there's only 4 other tables. Also, leaving the check on the table is fine when we aren't even halfway done eating, but to then interrupt our conversation 10 minutes later and ask that we pay the bill now, is rude. And whoever their male server is...is the worst! He brings you the check, takes your card and then hovers over your shoulder when you're filling out the receipt. What is wrong with you?! Like I said, who allows to let these people serve! \nXnejfieokefnfilwnrr\nAnyways, the buffet food is actually pretty okay,especially for 8.00 a lunch. They have fresh shrimp, a sushi bar (basic rolls) and then everything they have a typical Chinese lunch buffet, they also have a chocolate fountain which I haven't tried, I don't know how sanitary that is when I've seen little kids sticking their fingers in it. No thank you. They have a habachi grill as well, where you get to choose your ingredients and they cook it for you, but both times I've eaten from it my food was extremely overcooked and inedible.\nI may come back to get a to-go box, 1lb is 4.75, much cheaper to get a pound of fresh shrimp here than it is at the grocery store. Just saying. \nBut the service here....yuck. | 01
|
the service here was great but it is slightly declining with every visit, (losing that newcar smell) I believe I will probably go out of my way to travel 15 mi back to my regular joint. | 01
|
Valentin does phenomenal work! I ordered a couple of cheap suits online for a deal that was too good to pass up and he made them look like a million bucks. He took all the tags off and hemmed the pants and now I am stylin' and profilin'! I will definitely be back soon! | 12
|
The service and food were fantastic. I heard this place was good and the Bazaar was limited to late night menu so we tried this place.\nWe ordered a slew of food and everything was good. I am not even a big lamb eater and that was good. \nThe sirloin or steak dish was like a party in my mouth. We had a semi private room at the front and it was just a good time.\nThe naan they give you is some of the best I've had. \nThe only thing I wasn't a fan of is the bday desert I had. It wasn't bad just not great. I would definitely do this place over again and again. | 12
|
To make it simple, we were not too pleased that we had to wait 45 minutes for our RESERVATION... | 01
|
A must-try menu. If you're looking for an awesome fusion of flavors, diverse staff and waitresses, affordable (for tapas) and an extremely comfortable setting..then this is your place. The menu will cater to any pallet, so don't think it's strictly Mediterranean cuisine. | 12
|
YUM!! Best Med food I've ever had in Vegas. Great service. Chicken Tangine was amazing...excellent Humus and Pita was perfect! | 12
|
Great food!! Great ambience in the little side tables with the great chandeliers. Only complaint was the strange lag time where our waitress disappeared and we really wanted to order more. Other than that, fantastic food! We'll be back! | 12
|
This place is awesome!!!! Everything n I mean everything I ordered was spot on. We had a group of 8 and our servers were on it. The skewers were all great, the hummus was to die for, and the best thing u must order is the bone marrow. Like heaven in my mouth!!!! | 12
|
Probably the best meal I have had in Vegas, and that says something. Went with a group of 5 and did not know what to expect. The best I can describe the experience is fusion Med meets Tapas. \n\nStarted with two dips, hummus and cucumber/yogurt. The pita was great, not too chewy, just perfect. Both dips were excellent.\n\nThen we had spanakopita and spicy cigars. Possibly the best spanakopita I have ever had and the cigars were like meat filled sping rolls, everyone loved them.\n\nWe then had the Brussels sprouts, which even the most carnivorous of us loved. They were crispy shaved Brussels sprouts, reminded me of terrific fried kale I once had at Benny's in Chicago. \n\nOur two meat dishes were also great. Lamb tagine with cous cous was both tender and flavorful. My favorite dish, and most surprising, was the duck bastilla, hard to describe but almost like a duck filled Krispy Kreme donut, just incredible.\n\nService was excellent though I do feel they could of done a better job pacing the meal, almost felt rushed as the new dishes kept arriving. | 12

Let me start with WOW! I've been here twice now and I would say this is by far the best place at SLS and for sure on the map for one of the best Mediterranean places in Vegas . The watermelon feta salad is for sure a must have. I would describe as perfection at its best. The Brussel sprout leafs amazing another must have. Of course no meal is complete without a good drink. The Old Hollywood is a perfect mixed signature drink to complement your meal. Also tried the lamb tartar which is on my favorites at Cleo as it melts in your mouth with all the flavor that leaves you wanting more . I have had the pleasure of having the same server both times and it's horrible I can't remember his name. However I will get it and put it in here as he is awesome! Good for groups or a date night this place will not disappoint! | 12
|
While the decor is inviting and the smells coming off the front grill station create an inviting atmosphere, the food and service do not measure up and were disappointing given the hype about Cleo. With only a couple of exceptions (we ordered over 25 items so we cannot be faulted for trying a good portion of the menu) the food was under cooked, served luke warm and devoid of any true flavor - certainly lacking in Mediterranean freshness and taste. Price points were reasonable. Would not return. | 01
|
This place is very good. Great. Just two very minor and easy to fix things: the music and the beer list. The music is way too loud and the beer list is too short. But the food, service, decor, and food (yes I said it twice). Is amazing. | 12
|
Waited almost an hour to get our food and then it was cold!! Kitchen staff needs some organizational help. | 01
|
Loved the service., atmosphere and food! Brussels sprouts and clams with noodles were awesome! We loved it so much we want back the next night! | 12

CUSTOMER SERVICE = 1.5 out of 5. \nFOOD and PRESENTATION = 5 out of 5\n\nI loved every item on their menu. For all the seafood lovers, the Scallops and Oysters are amazing. The Lamb is to die for. \n\nService however, is not up to par so please beware. First impressions are everlasting and this wasn't the impression i got from a service stand point. \n\nNegative: \n\nWas not impressed with the service at all. I had come with a large group on to celebrate my wife's birthday on Oct 17th. Our server started off amazing, but then totally spaced out on us. The worst thing was we never got a birthday cup cake or a group that came to sing for us despite giving a heads up to the staff. We saw other groups get more attention than ours. It was a special moment for my wife and it became totally not special. If we were not rushed to get to a show, I would have spoken to a manager. \n\nThe other thing that I was not too happy about was the plate breaking tradition. When I had asked, we got an answer from a manager or host stating that they only have a limit of 3 per night, which was hard to believe since we saw more than 3 people break plates ahead of us. \n\nBased on my experience, my service rating is a 1.5 out of 5. Vegas is synonymous with customer service in restaurants and for an establishment this large, I would expect more out of them. \n\n\nPositive: The food is amazing. If i were to rate them for food alone i would give this place a 5 out of 5. \n\nI would consider coming back to this place; however, my expectation for service would be a lot higher. | 01
|
Woowo I never taste such a bad food!\nHow can you take a Mediterranean food and make it so bad?!?! \nAnd the service is even worst. \nYou have to understand it's a tapas restaurant and the dishes are$11-$19 for a mini plates not even enough for one person! | 01
|
I would love to give the hummus here 5 stars it's really that good! \n\nHowever the 2 times I've gone though really deserves 2 stars. I would give the food 4 stars. The service though is slacking big time!!!! \n\nThe first time I went the server was very awkward and talked wayyy too much. Even went on to say something about not ordering the flatbread because it has \""way too many carbs\"" under his breath. Hello I'm a normal 20 something girl, yes I like to watch my figure, but I freaking love carbs! Thank you! Ha! It also took 15 minutes to get both of my friends cocktails! This isn't even an exaggeration because a lot of the food we ordered was out by the time they got them. \n\nAs for my exact same cocktail that I ordered somehow got lost in translation. this place had barely anyone in it, I believe this was just the servers mistake at this point (no worries because everyone makes mistakes). \n\nWhat takes the cake though is he tried arguing with me how I never order one when all I did was ask politely where my cocktail was. Okay, so you didn't think I ordered one, but clearly I did, don't argue, just say sorry and go and reorder or order the cocktail I requested. \n\nThere were a few other incidents with this server, I forget his name, but did not really set the tone for finer dining. \n\nAfter that time I wanted to go back with my boyfriend because venues really do deserve a second chances. (Even third! Sometimes.) The second time was much much busier, after waiting 25 minutes past our reservation time we were sat at a small two top table in the front of the restaurant, wasn't exactly what we pictured, but weren't going to be picky because we just wanted a romantic night! \n\nSome commotion started happening with the tables next to us, they looked as though they were setting up for a big party. Then a someone came to inform us that a huge bachelorette party was being seated next to us and wanted to know if we would like to move. \n\nWe agreed that this was probably best, so we were moved to the chefs counter until another table was available. As the food we ordered at our old table started coming out to the new spot, everything seemed awkward at this point, and definitely a mood killer! We just wanted to be at an actual table eating and drinking the food we ordered!\n\nWe were finally sat our [final] table and they told us they were moving our food, which they did; but somehow took a bit, and by that time most of it was cold. We were very polite the whole time, but the night just wasn't going as we'd hoped. \n\nAfter the shuffle around the restaurant by multiple servers/ managers/ and hosts. We got the bill and (not saying that they have to) but not even a cocktail was taken care of for the inconvenience. Not that it was expected, but honestly it would have smoothed the experience over for something as crazy as being moved 3 times in the middle of dinner. \n\nIt was my boyfriends first time, and needless to say he isn't as forgiving as I am, and probably will not be back. | 01

Had reservations for 8pm on a Saturday night and we were seated promptly. Overall the place was 90% full. \n\nService - the entire staff was attentive and friendly. \n\nFood - it's all small plates / tapas family style here which works well. \n\nHummus with tahini with bread/veggies - hummus was tasty and not too paste-like. The bread was warm, soft, and fresh which went great with the hummus. The veggies were crisp and fresh. \n\nWagyu kebab - 50/50. Half of the meat was tender and soft while the other half was just too chewy. Flavor was good though. \n\nChicken kebab - it was good but the same as any chicken kebab I've had in the past. \n\nWatermelon and feta with avocado, spiced nuts, and cucumbers salad - probably our favorite of the night! Super flavorful and very refreshing. Couldn't get enough. \n\nMushrooms with dates, hazelnuts, puffed rice - if you like mushrooms then this is the dish for you. The puffed rice adds nice crunch. \n\nThe special - lamb shank cooked over 10 hours falling off the bone with pomegranate glaze served over bed of lentils. - the meat was literally falling off the bone. Super tender and tasty. Fills you up as it is a heavy decadent dish. \n\nSticky toffee pudding - butterscotch, walnut feuilletine, vanilla gelato - nice way to end the meal. The middle was hot and soft which went well with the gelato on top. Not too sweet. Satisfying. | 12

I had been to the Cleo in Hollywood and heard that the one in Las Vegas had a different menu. Some of the items are the same, some are new. I'm not going to bore you with what I ate. Just be sure if you go to get the Brussels sprouts. Nobody ever expects they could be so good. | 12

The Skinny: some well executed dishes with some mediocre ones makes this joint a (3.5). Service: our servers were okay but our busboy was freaking amazing! Best busboy ever! (5 stars for the busboy, 3 stars for the servers), value: although a bit on the pricey side for Mediterranean, some of the outstanding dishes are worth returning for (3.5 with a bump up to 4 starred review).\n\nWe came during the half priced locals deal on a Sunday. Overall as a Mediterranean high end joint, I was a little skeptical if it was going to be worth it.\n\nJust FYI, service is a bit confusing. We had two servers check in on us with regards to our table so we weren't really certain who we needed to talk to if we needed anything. In terms of explaining the menu, it wasn't immediately clear how many dishes we need to order as a tapas styled restaurant. So just so you know - 2.5-3 dishes/person depending if you order the mezze (smaller dishes) vs. a larger grilled dish. \n\nWe tried their hummus with laffa bread, spinach salad with figs, mushrooms with hazelnuts, lamb tagine with harissa, moussaka and duck bastilla.\n\nThey started us off with some great little puff pastries stuffed with cheese (I think it was feta). Piping hot, the cheese just oozed lusciously from the crisp layers. Really wonderful way to start a meal!\n\nHummus with laffa bread coated in za'taar was good. The hummus needs to be mixed a bit before digging in but the flavors were solid. The laffa bread came hot and mildly crispy in a bag on the table.\n\nSpinach salad - also quite nice. I didn't realize that it came with blue cheese (which didn't add anything to the dish) and would have preferred it without. Loved the combination of figs and vinegar dressing. \n\nMushrooms roasted with hazelnuts were the hands down best dish we had that night. The perfectly golden crust along the crunch of the hazelnuts were fabulous. If you love mushrooms, you will love this dish. It is possibly one of the best dishes I have had all year.\n\nLamb tagine with harissa: lamb was quite tender however it was a tad bland for me. Would have been nicer with a bit more ?preserved lemons to give it a bit more acidity. Overall, just an okay dish for me.\n\nAfter this set of dishes, there was lengthy wait about 15 minutes until the next dish. Unlike our server who promised multiple times that our dish was coming, our busboy pretty much made sure we got our dish while keeping our water glasses full and tending to a irate customer who was allergic to nuts who found nuts in her dish. I was impressed with our busboy. He did an excellent job and I wish he was our server instead.\n\nMoussaka: ugh! did not like this dish at all. First of all, the dish was served stone cold in the middle. Second of all, there was too much nutmeg in this dish - making it taste really off and odd. Never had moussaka like this before. We had to send it back.\n\nDuck Bastilla: this dish was meh and not up to my expectations. In my opinion, the filling was a too wet for me and spiced correctly (needed a lot more cinnamon). The lack of nuts was also very surprising. I would skip this dish.\n\nWe finished off with the almond pannacotta with figs. It was okay - the texture was a bit too solid and not quite silky smooth enough. Flavor wise, it was rather uninteresting. I would probably skip this next time.\n\nOverall, given the stellar dishes we received, this joint is worth another look. The service we received by our busboy was phenomenal however the servers were sort of lackluster although they did take off the horrible moussaka after we sent it back. 3.5 starred review with a bump up to 4. | 12

This restaurant had the most laughably bad service I had experienced in Vegas. \nHere is the setup:\n* large group (10 of us), all local, all foodies, all hungry, but all in a good mood. \n* great environment, table, music.\n\nHere are the problems, in chronological order:\n* 1/2 empty restaurants should never take that long to seat someone with a reservation. 6-7 minutes. and 1/2 empty is generous.\n\n* Look, I lived in Spain for a while so I understand Tapas culture. But menu items showed up so randomly and so far apart that you would almost assume they forgot about us or served other people our food.\n\n* They brought us 3 dishes we did not order. Then they re-brought us the same dish (the 1st of the 3) 5 minutes later as if to say \""going twice......\"" Is this an auction?\n\n* The silverware was cleared, in preparation for what we thought was coffee and dessert time. Instead, they brought out more of our food. Coordination / chaos.\n\n* The server then asked if we wanted to keep the food out there, and we asked them if they noticed the missing silverware. So they were a bit matter-of-fact and humorless as if this is normal course-of-business. \""OK, do you want me to bring silverware back so you can finish your last 2-3 courses?\""\n\n* After turning down the final plates post-silverware clearing, we were presented with dessert menus and set up with dessert plates and coffee cups. We each ordered dessert. Then the manager came by 5 minutes AFTER ordering and said \""we are sorry, the kitchen is closed. We didn't know you would be staying so long.\""\n\n\nSome restaurants deserve a second chance. I used to work in the service industry, and I know that sometimes you can't do anything right. This was just one of those nights for them. But it was a complete disaster - and it was specifically MISMANAGED / POORLY COORDINATED. The place has promise, but would need a new GM and waitstaff that care. | 01
|
Mediterranean tapas galore. Of the many dishes we tried, the scallops & the clams and noodles were my favorite. The out of restaurant restroom (in the nearby casino) was a little inconvenient but the overall mood of restaurant romantic and cozy...as long as you don't get seated near the entrance which borders some slot machines and gaming tables. | 12

Cleo is an outstanding restaurant in the trendy, sophisticated SLS hotel. I received a $40 food credit and thought, why not check this place out? Firstly, the ambiance here is so adorable. From the chandeliers to the silverware, everything in this restaurant gave me a warm Aladdin-esque feel. We were seated in a little private section with drapes all around to give it an essence of seclusion.\n\nWe were a group of 5 girls and stuck to the mezzes. We had to order two rounds of the grilled octopus topped with fennel with a garlic cream sauce.. it was outstanding! Just enough of a smokey taste but it was still soft inside. We also ordered two plates of the brussel sprouts. They were a bit on the oily side but I loved how they were decomposed and shaved, which gave it more of a crunch and flakiness after they were baked/fried. We had the falafel, beet salad, lamb and chicken kebab, hummus, chicken liver, and the Turkish salad. We loved every bite of every plate.\n\nKeep in mind, the plates are small and they are all family style. They bring the food as its made, so they come out individually.\n\nFor dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding with Turkish coffee. The coffee is made with sugar, which would have been nice to have known prior to ordering. Regardless, it was a decent shot of coffee. The toffee pudding was good but not memorable.\n\nThe service was quick and friendly. All of the waiters had a smile on their face and were eager to fill our glasses with water. I am glad I tried this restaurant and am looking forward to trying their other location in Los Angeles! | 12

This is essentially a high end Mediterranean tapas restaurant. Small portions, Strip prices (most dishes range from $7-$16). I was a little skeptical about it, but I will say that everything was very delicious and well done. Our server was a tad bit too casual for my taste (I have a bit of an issue when servers sit down next to me to take my order), but she was very personable, friendly, and checked on us often.\n\nThe decor was very sexy, and would be perfect for a date night. Just dim enough to feel romantic, and very sophisticated. \n\nWe ordered: Garlic Shrimp, Grilled Octopus, Hanger Steak, and a lamb dish whose name escapes me. They were all delicious and perfectly cooked. Our cocktails ($14) were also delicious. Now, 4 dishes between 2 people totaled just under $100, which did sting a little bit.. You're not going to be full, especially if you go and you're very hungry. But if you're not starving, you'll be pretty satisfied. A solid choice. | 12

When we went, there were only about 90 reviews on Yelp. I asked the hostess and I guess they had only opened two months prior. Their biggest problem, as expertly noticed by my ex-waiter fiance, was the inxperienced system. The hostess was running around doing some of duties that I think runners typically have. Once we were sat, we were ignored for a while. I don't blame them. They were far too busy and there were far too few servers... but it was 7pm and in Vegas, attention to detail is everything.\n\n-1 star\n\nThe food, however, was largely delicious! Get the kale bread. We expected something bitter, but the creme fraiche made it sweet and savory. It might be the best thing we had that night. We also loved the falafel, but be warned: they are bite-sized. The hummus was great. I was looking forward to the babaganoush but it tasted plain. Nothing to write home about~more cheese than eggplant.\n\nDefinitely go, but at not at peak hours until they get into the groove of things. | 12

Mesculin salad and Hawaiian pizza ala Napolitaine style...very tasty! Quick service, quality Ingredients friendly atmosphere. | 12
|
Tasteless pizza. My friend and I went randomly maybe three weeks ago, and they had no idea what they were doing. Ordered my pizza and customized it, the chef looked at me like I was crazy. Payed for the pizza ended up being more expensive than ordering in and more than one box of pizza. Ready to pay and the cashier couldn't \""print my bill\"". Yes the pizza is freshly made, the toppings-they need to add more-extremely stingy with them actually. We were sitting next to another group of ppl and one of them was complaining about the same thing I have. Tasteless tasteless pizza. I get they are trying to be authentic, put please add some flavor to your tomato sauce sheesh. | 01
|
We had eaten there two times so far, the food is great... The Hostess was good, very nice, the waiter, Edgar, different story, he made us feel like we were bothering him for coming in, he was bothered when my 9 year old son wanted corn dogs, that wasn't on the menu, but he just asked, he Edgar just stood there with an awkward silence, and made a comment in spanish, with The word Gringo in the comment. He also refilled my drink with out asking me and ignored the fact that my wife's glass was empty. .. what a shame this place had great food but piss poor service. | 01
|
Ok so I super excited to have a new Mexican resturant in the area and boy was I disappointed with this one. This is not good Mexican food and you can tell that wait staff had no idea what they were doing, they all seemed confused including the management. Their salsa had no flavor and was just watered down, I wont even talk about the horrible margarita I had. I wont be going back I was truly not impressed. | 01
|
Food: Great family size portions, always hot, bold flavors. The chips and salsa are okay. Not the best I've had, certainly not the worst. It's nice that they offer a couple different types of salsa if you ask depending on your spice preference. \nWe've had beef, chicken, seafood, pork, soup, and salads. All delicious. Especially impressed with the soups. Tortilla was our favorite. Very deep, rich flavored broth. All meats have been tender and clearly slow cooked. \n\nService: Friendly, quick, consistent. They've always checked back on us to make sure we're happy with the food. \n\nAmbience: Colorful, tastefully done, and festive. \n\nAs usual with Yelp, some of these reviews are laughable. Trying to order corn dogs at a Mexican food restaurant, being upset about having your drink refilled, upset that your plate was hot?! Hopefully these guests can return to their preferred Mexican food restaurant, Taco Bell, which seems to be more in line with their level of dining maturity. \nMy wife and I have been here nearly every week since opening. There were some service bugs that were worked out after the first week but this certainly is to be expected with most restaurant openings. \n\nGlad this family owned restaurant took a chance on Maricopa. Will be back again for sure. | 12
|
I'm not sure where to start. I guess I had my hopes up because there are few good places to sit down and enjoy a meal here in Maricopa. \n We went during their soft open, they are now officially open. But I haven't heard anything positive about this place from any of our friends since their opening.\n The chips were bland and their salsa was little more than tomato sauce with a couple of chunks of onion. I ordered the Tres Amigos which had chile rellano, chile verde, and chile Colorado. The pork was tough, but the verde sauce was nice. The chile Colorado was bland and even though the beef was tender, it lacked flavor. The chile rellano was ok. I did feel that the breading was too thick, but thankfully the cheese was tasty. The refried beans reminded me of baby food. Pureed beans thinned with a bit of water. The rice was mediocre at best. My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas. He was unimpressed. \n Our server was prompt, but I seriously think he was high. Cocaine is a hell of a drug I hear. He didn't speak any English, which made ordering a pain. He also made us feel like we were being an inconvenience any time we asked for a refill.\n The wall decor is fun, though the elk head leftover from when the space was Teakwood's was a bit odd. :) | 01
|
My wife and I were excited to see an new restaurant pop up where the old Teakwoods once was and were hopeful that it would really be a competitor to Penascos. My overall review of Plaza Bonita is that it is painfully average and incredibly underwhelming. This is nothing more than an standard run of the mill Mexican restaurant. That would not be a bad thing if they really nailed the food; which they didn't.\n\nThe first thing I noticed was that the chips and salsa that came out were sub par. The chips were very thick and oily and the Salsa was completely liquid, no chunk of any kind save a few pieces of onion floating inside. Mind you this was supposed to be garden salsa, which should be very chunky, not a chipotle that one would expect to be without chunk. \n\nI ordered the Enchiladas Deluxe and when I asked if they could put Carne Asada inside instead of shredded beef. I was told they had no Carne Asada, so I went with chicken... Good thing I didn't go with my initial thought which was Carne Asada tacos. When the plate arrived immediately I noticed that the refried beans were like puree so they were runny and I am fairly sure they were out of a can. The rice was bland and again tasted like something seasoned with a pre-packaged seasoning mix. The enchiladas were... enchiladas... but the tortillas were thick and spongy so they also didn't earn high marks. \n\nEveryone else I was with had about the same impression with their meals. The food wasn't terrible but it was just something you can get at any Mexican restaurant, both sit down and drive thru, and was not executed well. I can go anywhere and get Mexican food so why would I choose to spend money at just another Mexican restaurant when I can choose Penascos, On the Border, Macayos, Blue Adobe Grill, etc? All said in hindsight I would have rather taken my money to Federicos and spent about 1/5 the price... Hell at least at Federicos I know they are going to have Carne Asada. | 01

Food was ok. Service was horrible. Waiter was extremely rude and never refilled our drinks even when we asked. The furniture was very outdated and looked dirty. We had high hopes that we might have a decent restaurant in Maricopa, but no such luck. | 01

The food has been great every visit. Had the same server, Edgar, all three times so far, he's got the perfect level of attentiveness, not to clingy or distant. | 12

Food has been great overall and no complaints about the service. We've ordered a variety of different items from the menu each time we go and have never been disappointed. We'll be going on a regular basis. | 12

Food was good and the service was as well. Happy to finally have a decent sit down Mexican food place in town! | 12

I stopped in earlier this evening to \""check it out\"" because I am interested in joining. What a huge change from the Harkins theater that used to be here! I love the massage chairs and would opt for the $19.99/ month membership just to be able to use them. \n\nWhat I don't like, however is that I found the gym too warm for my \""hot\"" self. There are two large ceiling fans, but I found several areas without any air flow. I'm used to personal fans on the cardio machines. The cardio machines don't have personal tvs either, something else I'm used to.\n\nI might go as someone's guest to workout before I make my final decision. | 12

Hostess is not friendly at all. I counted 6 open table (and that's just what I could see) and she told me it was a 5-10 minute wait. A couple came after me and the hostess didn't even acknowledge them. While waiting for my food, I saw five tables hunt down servers to get their bill. My biggest pet peeve is when glasses aren't refilled and my husbands ran bone dry. No one filled it. We were going to have dessert but went somewhere else. The wait was too long and they were not busy at all. | 01

Started with the unfriendly hostesses that didn't even acknowledge us. Open tables but told us to wait 15-20 mins. Waitress was also unfriendly with no urgency. We wait FOREVER for everything and the food was not even good! Everyones food came out cold-warm like it was sitting for a while. | 01

Read the other reviews but wanted to tried out this place anyway. Whatever happened to the other reviewers did NOT happen to my girlfriend and I. Nice little cafe. Dani the server was really nice and refilled our drinks. Food was good, comparable to a dennys. Overall nice little place. | 12

Poor service, poor food! Ordered the steak and potato soup which was horrible. Sent it back. Didn't order anything else because it took too long to get the original order. We will never be back! | 01

Very slow service. We waited 30 mins for our food and it was only my friend and I at our table. Our food was delivered to the table next to us. I had the chicken and waffles and it was just ok. My friend had an omelet and they put a slice of Kraft cheese on top. Weird. I wouldn't go back. | 01

S+O is a little restaurant in the Downtown Grand hotel and casino. My family & I we're tantalized by the pictures of their food posted in the elevators, & the convenience of it being located in the casino, so we thought we'd try this place out. \n\nWe came here for dinner, & due to a major hangover I ordered the Roasted Chicken (less grease, less chance of worsening this hangover). Our food came rather quickly considering there was only ONE waiter for the entire restaurant.. But! They fell short on food quality. My chicken was not cooked thoroughly, and was still veryy pink/red on the inside. And there was even some blood on my mashed potatoes from the uncooked chicken. If I thought that was bad; My broccoli florets still had the rubber and around it, and I almost ate it! This also signified to me that they did not clean my broccoli well, and this was bad for business. On a much lighter note, I did let our waiter know, & they did take it off the bill, as well as sent over someone to apologize to us for the chicken dish. Phew! I was just glad to get that off the bill, because there was no way I was going to pay for that few bites of chicken that I had and NOT complain. Kudos to them for making it that much easier on them and myself. \n\nMy mother ordered their salmon dish, & the salmon was still kind of raw. How raw? It left the rice extremely moist! It was edible, but not very good. My Dad and sister barely ate their food, & just took it in boxes to go.\n\nThe second time that I came here it was for breakfast. It was just me and my Mom. I ordered the cinnamon bun waffles, and my mother ordered the apple raisin oatmeal. Our entire wait time was almost 45 minutes! This included 15 minutes for her to take our order after being seated, 25 minutes to get our food out, and 5 minutes to eat it.\n\nOn the menu the Cinnamon bun waffles are supposed to be \""one of the best\"", and it was farrrrr from that! For one thing it was BURNT, and very hard to eat. Secondly, the frosting was stuck to my plate like glue, and was very unappetizing. Third, the dough tasted a lot like the Pillsbury crescent roll packaged dough.. Veryyyy un-cinnabon like:/ Very disappointing! My mother's oatmeal was as basic as it could get, and her reaction was, \""It's just.. Alright.\""\n\nNice servers, but horrible food. | 01

Unfortunate experience. Staying at the hotel. Beautiful rooms, outstanding service. This restaurant however, very disappointing. Firstly, I asked for a cappuccino. They got me a regular coffee with extra foam that was barely room temperature. When I told them it was cold, they took it back and got it back to me in 30 seconds, in the same cup. Made me wonder how they heated it up so fast! Not what you'd expect from a hotel of this calibre. Not only was it a very dilute poor tasting coffee, but it had granules of coffee powder at the bottom. A cappuccino isn't rocket science! \nSecond, I ordered some food to go. They took over 25 minutes to get it. I can't complain about that. The place was busy. However, the waiter insisted on coming by every few minutes saying it would be two minutes longer. He did this 5-6 times. When I got upset, he said it would take 10 minutes longer, and replied stating this was \""America\"", it's ok to wait!\nVery poor service. In spite of this, I left a tip which wasn't deserved. They need to get their act together. | 01

Fresh and many choices! Cooked and made to your liking. Overall it's pretty good. Still doesn't compare to Spinato's or Oregano's. Would come again if the wife was out of town, quick and easy | 12

The staff was nice n friendly. Pizza was good. Need a few more cheese options but they had pasta as well. I will come back for a good pizza with a friendly staff. Location does not have much foot traffic. Overall it was a good pizza with a friendly staff. | 12

The Jeff Spicoli lookalike behind the counter informed us that pizza five 85 is set up a lot like chipotle for Italian food. The idea is brilliant and they let you choose between a pizza, pasta or salad. You then get to pick all of the ingredients chipotle style. The ingredients range from meatballs, chicken, sausage, and a whole selection of vegetables. This all sounds awesome until you take a bite. \n\nThis is by far the worst pizza and pasta I have ever tasted in my life, including the stuff I make at home and I'm a crappy cook. The marinara used for the pizza and pasta is laughable. It has this disgusting sweet taste to it that tastes like something you would expect from a Peter Piper Pizza or Chuck E Cheese. The pizza dough is pretty much a tortilla, that's how thin it is. When baked, it tastes like a nacho chip with pizza toppings on it.\n\nWe ordered the bow tie pasta and it was soggy and overcooked. How do you mess up pasta at an Italian place??? I can't believe how bad this place is. If the word Pizza is in the name of your eating establishment, your pizza better be good. I will never return to this place. Such a shame! It has such a brilliant concept. Too bad the execution is so awful. | 01
