I wish there was less expensive food available, however I'm very happy with the food I got for the price I paid. The chocolate mousse is to die for. It's a must have.

You order at a counter and they bring the food to you. You can sit either indoors or outside (I recommend sitting outside - the view is better).

It's a typical casino cafe with typical casino cafe food.

They do have a sushi bar, but it didn't look like something I wanted to try. I did buy a jug of beer from there and that was pretty good.

The meal I had here is  one of the top ten meals I've had in my life. Everything I ordered and everything my friends ordered came out perfectly prepared.

When we made the reservations they asked if we were celebrating something special. We told them we were celebrating our friend's birthday. When the menu was given to us her name and special birthday greeting was printed at the top of the page.

I highly recommend the Bruschetta Sliders and the Hummus Trio as an appetizer. The Chilean Sea Bass was the best cooked fish I've ever had.

The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive, every time he cleared our plates he also cleared our table cloth of crumbs. When I asked him for a wine suggestion he recommended two and brought out two samples for me to try.

The atmosphere is like most nice restaurants, but there is a huge fish tank for you to enjoy.

This place is great! The food is simple, but brilliant. All they really sell is various BBQ meats served with rice and grilled veggies on the side. The only dessert they have is yellow cake. I'm a little sad when they don't have it.

You kind of have to know this place is there to find it. It's not a place you'll see from the street. The guy that runs the place is really awesome. He was chatting with me and my friend while we waited for our meal. I felt like I knew the guy for years by the time I was done.

This place sells Italian ice, frozen custard, as well as sweet crepes and crepe sandwiches.

You get to choose every thing that goes into your crepes. They give you a little slip of paper and you fill out all the stuff you want to go in it. It's a nice change of pace than a regular sandwich and perfect for when I only want to eat dessert.

The service here is fantastic. While I was waiting for my sandwich order I was offered a sample of just about every single flavor of italian ice. It's not my thing (I prefer sweeter frozen treats), but I could see how it would be great for someone who wants a healthier alternative to ice creme.

This place is a little hard to find, but worth looking for because the food and atmosphere here are fantastic. It's great for a date or a special family meal.

Your meal can be inexpensive or somewhat spendy depending on what you order.

I highly recommend ordering a regular meal and several yakitori sticks on the side. My favorites were the bacon wrapped tomatoes (be careful, the juice is really hot) and the chicken skin. I'm not usually a fan of liver, but the chicken liver was cooked perfectly and was super creamy.

I can't wait to go back.

I've eaten here twice, once for breakfast and once for lunch.

The cafe is located in the Villa del Sol so the atmosphere is really charming and quiet. It's great for a business meal or for a couple of friends to catch up on life.

I had the country breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Perfect. Just perfect.

For lunch I had the Matt's Special sandwich (apples, avocado, brie, balsamic vinegar on squaw) with a cup of soup. The sandwich was was surprisingly good. I would have never guessed that apples and vinegar would go together well, especially in a sandwich. The brie is what made everything go together perfectly. I can't wait to go back so I can have it again. The soup was pretty good, but was served only slightly warmer than room temperature. Call me strange, but I like my soup hot.

The service was okay, but inconsistent. When we ate there the first time, we sat in the court yard and it took a while for our server to come around and check on us, but she was friendly. The second time I ate here I sat inside and my drink cup never got more than halfway empty and the server was super nice, even suggesting I could order a half sandwich for my meal if I wanted.

So, the experience there wasn't perfect, but it was mostly positive so I'll be returning, for sure.

Pho House

I recently tried their curry and it was fantastic! I'm looking forward to having it again.

This place is called PHO House, so I usually have the pho. The pho, isn't bad, it's just okay. It hits the spot well enough when you're hungry at 1am and Denny's just doesn't sound good.

I love their fried shrimp roll and Vietnamese style fried shrimp, but the fried rice was the blandest I've ever had. I think I've had white rice with more flavor.

I'm beginning to think just about everything on their menu except for the pho and fried rice is just super.

    great place to go to when you don't want fast food and it's 11pm.

    the entire menu is posted on the walls above the table with pictures. nice. i don't have to really wonder what i'm getting.

    the crab rolls are spectacular (almost two orders just for myself), the friend shirmp thingy is spectacular - lots of flavor, great texture, perfect crispiness, just the right amount of spice. have those with a beer. those two things and the fact that they are open late is what gives it a 4.

    pho is decent, but this is not the place to go if you want good pho. the fried rice is REALLY bland. i think i've had plain rice with more flavor. won't be ordering that again. yuck.

    the place is clean enough. it's very "hole in the wall". the bench seats at the booth are sunken in on one side at every booth.

    restauraunt run by koreans not vietnamese, if that matters to you.

The Santa Fe Skillet is actually good. REALLY good. I'm just as shocked as you are that I'm saying this about food from Denny's.

I wouldn't normally describe food at Denny's as good, just good enough. It's something I would be okay with eating because nothing else was open at the time, but every now and then, they come up with something that surprises me and this dish was one of them.

It came out sizzling hot, was super flavorful, and I'm  actually looking forward to having it again.

Denny's has really improved their menu these past few years. It's open 24 hours. I think I won't mind going to Denny's anymore. It's not what it used to be, at least not this one.
