I'll give this place a four. I thought it was alright. The cost of the food case out to be more expensive than you would think. I thought the food came out to be a bit on the salty side. I can't comment on the authenticity because I've never been to Italy... maybe it is supposed to be a little salty? The decor itself could be a little nicer. Yelp has this place classified as "romantic" but I didn't think it was at all. The service was good and people were friendly. Wasn't very busy here on a Friday night. Seemed like everyone was a regular.
Being a frequent visitor of Disneyland, this was my first visit to the Magic Kingdom. Upon entering main street, I see that everything is pretty much the same except for the castle. It's bigger than the one at Disneyland (and made me think of the dinky one at Hong Kong Disney, too). I just kept going wow. Wow. Wow. And snapped so many photos of it.
I also loved how the area where you watch fireworks is so much more spacious and trees aren't impeding your view. Great views and lots of space for everyone! On a side note, they need more people directing traffic after the show. Sometimes people don't know where they're going and are just following the crowd. I heard someone step off a curb and fall with a thud! (possibly while holding a child?)
I loved the "The Magic, The Memories, and You" so much that I watched it a few times on YouTube afterward.
Other than that.. the rides that I went on are pretty much the same with minor differences. Crowds weren't as big in early January. Great experience and worth checking out!

Sandwiches
Heard great things about this place so since I'm not usually close to one, I decided to try it. Lines are long but they move quickly, but the wait after ordering can be a little long. Sandwiches aren't that expensive and they're pretty delicious. $5.99. There's also breakfast sandwiches here, too, for less (but the same size!). Hot sandwiches, large selection, plenty to try! Definitely a must try if you're in the area. I only tried The Montagu but I would imagine everything else would be just as delicious.

Disney's Animal Kingdom

I liked it. I was able to cover the entire park in a short amount of time. It is a mixture of zoo and roller coasters. There aren't too many rides to go on, but there's a lot of animals to see and learn about. I even got to see the lion! Expedition Everest is a great attraction, especially if it is your first time riding it (SURPRISE!). I didn't go on the water ride since a lot of people looked like they came off of it pretty wet. The Kilmanjaro Safari ride was pretty comfortable and you get to see a bunch of different animals similar to the ride at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. The Lion King Show was nostalgic as they sang songs from the movie. I wasn't too big on the whole interactive portion of it, though, since it was geared for kids. The park itself was nice, but it was good enough to visit just once. I had a 4 day park hopper and after seeing everything I wanted to see here on my very first day, I never went back to it.
$10.99 AYCE Breakfast. $15.99 AYCE Lunch. One of the better deals in and around Vegas. They have so much variety! Plus, you can get alcoholic drinks included with your meal! The servers are pretty friendly, too, compared to other places I go to, and the open space makes it feel so relaxing.
The food is typical buffet food. What makes it go above and beyond the other buffets is the price, service, and variety. The flan was delicious. And if there was something I'd have to choose here to eat over and over again, I'd probably go with the mussel. Oh yes, lunch will include some breakfast items (bacon, eggs, sausages). No omelette, though.

Came at around six. It was already dark and cold. The area where we sat didn't have any heating lamps. They should get some more. The service was good and the server was able to memorize the orders for 8 people. I was impressed.
We ordered the lobster nachos and the barbecue chicken pizza. Word of advice to newcomers, their portions are large! One order is enough to fill up two people.
The lobster nachos came out lukewarm so I didn't enjoy it that much. I don't think I was really able to taste the lobster either. Maybe I'll try it again next time. The barbecue chicken pizza on the other hand came out piping hot with plenty of cheese and a fair amount of barbecue size. It was great for any pizza loving fan and it was decently priced at around $10-11. I think the lobster nachos was upwards for $12-13.

Delicious and consistent, my order tasted like any other Egg McMuffin you would get at McDonalds. It was pretty clean here and the condiments are neatly arranged. Lines can be long since you're close to Disneyland, both inside and at the drive-thru. I can't speak for the speed of the service since I've seen it move both fast and slow. There were plenty of seats when we went at 11AM on a Sunday. After you order, they take down your name and call you out, Starbucks style. Stay close to the counter, though, since it may be hard to hear them.

Came back again to get the $5 deal. Learned that they have stamp cards here! 10 bowls, get one free! Came close to noon. Wasn't very busy. Oh yea, and I also learned that there's no additional cost to get brown rice! That's news to me.

Yep. Just had a meal here. Plenty of parking in this lot. This is pretty much like any other Flame Broiler out there. Always fresh, always good. Prices could feel a little high sometimes but that's because I'm used to using coupons, and you're probably paying for quality anyway.
Speaking of coupons... recently they had a pay $8 for $16 Amazon Local deal. They currently have a regular bowl and drink for $5. Also, check in on Yelp and get a free bowl with the purchase of another bowl and two drinks. Lastly, on this Yelp page, there's the pay $10 for $15 worth of food Yelp Deal.
If you haven't tried this place yet, give it a shot! Brown rice (for an additional cost). Little green onions. Nicely marinated chicken. Delicious!

Sneak Preview Elite Event at Purple Wine Bar

Local Flavor
Neighborhood: Koreatown
Haven't been to a Yelp event in awhile, but enjoyed the trip here! Plenty of food. Good wine. Checking in was easy (computerized now?). And it wasn't super crowded. I just wish there were more tables. Or maybe it just means next time I should show up earlier! Valet cost $2. Not sure if that will be the regular cost for them or not (I also thought it was supposed to be complimentary for the event? But I guess not). Hm.. what else. Good cheese sticks, even though Jacob H. thought they were chicken sticks. And grabbing the food was easy and mob free thanks to Katie B directing traffic. There seemed to be a lot of fried chicken left over. If it wasn't for my fear of getting a heart attack, I would have gulped some more down!
This place was pretty busy when I went on a Friday night, and maybe it was a bit hyped up for me too due to some reviews here and the number of people in the restaurant. However, I didn't find it that special.
This place is a seat-yourself / self-service restaurant. There is some service, though, as they come around to clear your trays and offer to refill your drinks.
Prices aren't bad at all. $5.95 for the Original Charburger combo which comes with fries and a drink. Or you can also get the more special burgers such as the tri-tip steak burger for $5.95 and add fries and a drink for less than $10.
I didn't find the food all that spectacular, though. I tried the charburger and it tasted kind of like a Famous Star. The fries weren't as good as in n out fries but they weren't bad either. And the tri tip steak burger probably could have been better, as I found myself dragging out slabs of meat from my burger (cooked to medium, by the way) since I wasn't able to bite through it.
Maybe there's something else I should try?
