Best value in Las Vegas.
Nothing fancy -- and a very good value. Food is about on par with No Thai in East Lansing, but the menu is a tad more interesting here.

I saw Doctor Vosbikian, one of the newer Doctors in the practice. She was great -- the best optometrist I've ever visited. She took time to explain all the the tests and procedures she was doing. Also there was no pressure to buy glasses from the office. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend Doctor Vosbikian.

This is a review of the hotel's valet parking.
Don't use the valet. They lost the keys to two cars the night I was there. Management was particularly unhelpful and borderline hostile towards the two different customers waiting for their cars.
Update: After waiting 45 minutes and watching the valet drivers bring up two wrong cars, they ultimately found mine. However the gentlemen in front of me was not so lucky. When I left they where offering to call him a cab after going nearly an hour without finding his keys.

This place would be better if it were operated by Chiptole or Qudoba -- that way the hours wouldn't be random and they would follow through with things they promise.
Just today I tried to order a burrito an hour before they closed only to be informed that since they would be closing in an hour, they weren't doing delivery anymore. This is the third time I've tried to order delivery from these guys, and every time it is another excuse as to why they aren't doing it today.
The food is good -- but fast casual it is not. I've never been in and out in under 20 minutes - and that is for a carryout burrito.

Decent food and super fast delivery, even in the middle of Snowpocalypse 2010. Plus they let you pay with a credit card over the phone.
The downside was a horrible stomach ache a few hours later.

Brick Lane Curry House
Category:
Indian
Neighborhood: East Village
It took me the better part of 3 months to find good Indian food in New York , but since I found Brick Lane I haven't gone anywhere else.
Sure Brick Lane is about 50% more expensive than the other restaurants on Curry Row, but it's food is at least 2x as good. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the service is a bit slow. If you're pressed for time, try delivery or take out, it is probably just as fast and lets you avoid the line.

Riverwalk Bar & Grill
Categories:

Neighborhood: Roosevelt Island
The first warning sign should be that River Walk Bar & Grill doesn't offer free refills on fountain drinks.
Now I understand that Roosevelt Island is a bit isolated out there in the middle of the East River, but last I checked, it is still part of America. So we should be able to expect free refills on soft drinks--particularly from a generic sports bar. Not so at River Walk.
Of course, that was only the first of many problems. River Walk's menu seems to consist almost entirely of dishes from the SYSCO pre-made entree menu. I had the fish and chips, which was clearly of the frozen variety and my companion had one of their many salads. The salad was mediocre and many of the tomatoes in it seemed to be rotten. Food this bad would be inexcusable at a tuck stop.
The meal was not made any more pleasant by the cheap furnishings, lifeless service or the fact that management seemed to have little interest in heating the place to a comfortable temperature.
All in all, it was the worst dining experience I have had in New York.

The pizza is dissappinting. Certinaly not the "best in Michigan" or whatever they claim. That being said, the menu is cheap and they have some very good specials. Perhaps if they didn't raise expectatios so much the pizza would seem better.

I came for the fried chicken and was not disappointed with the chicken itself.
The problem? fixin's.
Call me a traditionalist, but I like a pile of mashed potatoes and gravy with my comfort food. So when they served me chicken with some cold apple salad on the side, I was a bit disappointed. What's more, I couldn't even order sides of the customary fix'ins, as they didn't have them on the menu.
