Robert "Foodie" M.'s Profile

I felt very generous by giving this place 2 stars.  The location/view just may have been the factor.  If I was a restaurant owner I would not be happy with that. It really says nothing good about the restaurant itself .  We waited about 20 minutes on a Saturday, which we expected.  We didn't expect the bland menu, really expensive prices f(or what we were getting) and poor service.  The food was just okay.  The meal came out before the drinks  The Bloody Mary was overpriced and just tasted okay...It had shredded vegetables in it that should have been put on a plate as I couldn't exactly drink them...I was so surprised after what had been said about the restaurant that it didn't have a more inventive/extensive menu.  Wow, I felt like I was in the wrong place.  If I hadn't seen the name on the door, I would have thought so.  It made me feel as if I could open up a brunch restaurant tommorow and instantly become a millionaire.  It seemed like a lot of locals were frequenting this place along with tourists, which made me think.....do you all think that in New York for a Saturday brunch this is the best you can do?!Shocking.....upscale crowd.... boring/bland food...expensive...never again

There was no wonder why they had a wait before noon at this "not so typical" diner with "not so typical" diner food.  The Vietnamese Chicken w/stir fried vegetables was delicious.  Also, tried the Vietnamese Sausage sandwich, which was also very tasty.  A unique and original menu is what keeps many many people coming back for more.  They also have typical diner food and all day breakfast, which is very good.  The current chef has won many awards and from what I've read, will only be there for about 6 months.  Hope they keep that great menu.  Very modern decor....A+ all around...I'm going back!

Stayed here and loved the decor and the room.  It was a good value for $199.00 per night.  I would advise anyone to "stay" in this hotel if you get a good rate per night, however, do not do anything else here, unless you want to get ripped off.  If you eat at the restaurants they are incredibly expensive.  If you want to play golf it'll cost you $500.00.  If you want a little umbrella or shade by the pool, they'll try to charge you about $150-$200 for that.  So, they nickle and dime you to death for every little thing and you'll wind up spending what you saved on the good room rate that you may have gotten.  Again, rooms are spacious, modern and beautiful....so I'd just sleep here and go out and shop the wonderful bargains of Las Vegas for your meals

I went recently for lunch recently and they give you a lot of food, however it's not good.  When I have tomato soup, I'm not used to having unidentified pieces of "pork" in it.  Kobe beef burgers?(didn't taste too good if they were).  So, I loved the french fries...I'd rather get smaller portions of better tasting food.

Unless you enjoy money hungry people that hound you for every inflated dollar that they charge you, do not order your countertops or kitchen cabinets here.  I have never dealt with a horrible company such as this before.  They just about get 95% of your money before they tell you that the finishing touch, your kitchen cabinet doors, will not be ready for a few weeks.  So you sit there with no doors for a few weeks with no recourse because they've badgered you into paying them ahead of time.  Bad reputation after speaking to many others, wish I knew ahead of time.  Shop around! Don't go here!

Excellent sandwiches, soups and salads.  Very popular.  They use boar's head meat.  Big lunch crowd.  You order your sandwich first and then sit and wai for them to call your number.  Everything tastes fresh and delicious.  You can also call ahead and order your sandwiches to go.  Try the Sun Wrap(Turkey, sundried tomatoes and goat cheese melted).....very good!

Good restaurant.  Had the signature stuffed pork chop that was big.  I expected it to have a little more taste.  They put the tables too close together and in addition when the restaurant wasn't even that crowded, sat us right next to another table of loud people.  The server or bus person took my plate away too early when the rest of my party was not even finished.  I wasn't not even sure if I was finished, but she was.  The chocolate lava cake was just okay and didn't arrive warm with a gooey center as promised and it was $8.50.  All in all just okay.  I've experienced better food and better service.

This company charges $300.00 to let you know about your ancestors and where they came from.  It tells you where your ancestors may have travelled from after leaving Africa hundreds and hundreds of years ago and what your nationality is comprised of.  I think Oprah made this type of testing popular.  This testing also tells you about what diseases that you may be prone to by your looking at your DNA.  After mailing a sample in and waiting over 9 weeks, they tell me that the sample leaked! It's only supposed to take 8 weeks at the most to tell you your end results.  It took them 9 weeks to tell me that the sample leaked.  Not a fan.  Not happy that I paid them $300 and waited this long for nothing!

We stayed at this beautiful hotel in the Knightsbridge part of London.  We had a butler for our very large room and enjoyed every minute of our stay.  It was within walking distance to Harrod's and Harvey Nic's.  Everything from the towel heaters in the bathroom to the beautiful lobby as you enter was exquisite. Although we never got to swim in the pool, it was absoultely beautiful.  I'd return in a second!
