Case: Such a disappointment for the price :( Paid almost $60 for dinner during the holidays and it was a 2 hour wait.  The only way to get in front of the line was to pay $20 and that was way too expensive. First of all, they sat me first while my friends were still paying and the hostess said they would tell them to go to where I was after they paid.  After waiting for 10 minutes for my friends, I get a phone call from my friend saying they were seated somewhere else on the other side of the buffet. Unorganized and I just got there.  \n\nI went here after being turned away from Bacchanal Buffet in Caesars palace because they weren't taking any more people.  If this is your first Vegas buffet, you probably would be impressed because they do have a lot of food.  However, if you've been to Bacchanal Buffet this place is a rip off especially in the dessert section. I have a big sweet tooth so I love going to Vegas Buffets specifically for their dessert. I don't know if I came on a bad day but they barely had any dessert choices.  There was no gelato, crepes,  and they ran out of macarons. There weren't even any strawberries.  They only had some pastries, cakes, and soft serve, and I think the best thing they had was the creme brulee.  For $50 I expect a feast, and I definitely did not get that.  The only thing that was worth it was the Prime Rib which was delicious, but I can't get over the fact that their dessert was not good at all. The waiters were friendly though, but for being in one of the nicest hotels in Vegas, I sure hope they improve in the future.

Case: We went here for my girlfriends mom's birthday a week or so ago and the service was outstanding. The manager had over heard us talking about how we couldn't believe that mom has never tried hot n sour soup or egg drop soup so he brought out two small samples so she could taste them and see which one she liked. It's those extra things that show a lot about a place. Clearly, they are constantly paying attention to their customers needs and they are doing a great job at overseeing everything that is going on. I wish more places were like this, excellent customer service is hard to come by these days. Way to go PF Chang's!

Case: I have tried both there lunch buffet and a la carte dinner. If you arent that hungry you will not be disappointed with there a la carte dinner even though it might be a little pricey but well worth it.. If you are hungry then you should try there buffet as they have a lot of varieties of food even for vegetarians. You can notice the quality difference from the buffet to a la carte but the buffet is still awesome.

Case: I would never confuse good Asian, Thai, Chinese, Korean or Japanese food with Noodles...but if you're hungry and looking for something filling and delicious, this will fill the bill.  Yes, its a chain, yes, there are better choices, but for the money, Noodles will fill you up and put a smile on...well, it will fill you up.

Case: I want to start off by saying that the participating restaurants weren't to blame for what was wrong with this event - the tacos were all delicious. My problem with the event was that it was extremely disorganized. \n\nIt was damn near impossible to get a drink or to stand in the shade or to even get into the place. I tried not to hold a grudge on the line to get in, but holy hell. It was all enough to discourage me from coming back. If this was the first Taco Festival, I'd be more understanding. I'll bet the layout made total sense before they let people come inside. They need to check out a few Tempe Town Lake events to see how it's done.\n\nThere were several Valley events running concurrent with this one (like Tour de Fat)... Next year I may do something else. Overall though, I'm glad I went. I was able to sample some really tasty tacos. The offerings from Vitamin T, Cien Agaves, and Blanco's were excellent. We didn't have a single bad taco actually - can't recall every place we tried, but it was all good. \n\nI probably will go again at some point because I love tacos and I love to support good local restaurants, but I'm not in a hurry.

Case: I went here on a Tuesday night about 7:00 pm. When we walked in there was about 6-8 people waiting to be sat. After about 5 minutes someone finally came and sat the people waiting in front of us. We stood there for 5 more minutes with people lining up behind us. Finally someone (maybe the manager) yelled over and said it would be at least 10 more minutes before anyone could seat us. We asked why and he said the outside area was full. \nWe left and went to Hickory Tavern instead. As we walked by we only noticed two or three tables sat inside and 8 outside... Not sure if they were very short staffed or what.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Andy and I sat at the bar tonight and the experience was almost impossible to describe. When we approached the bar the \""bartender\"" Maxine says \""it's dirty\"" so we sat down while she cleaned the bar. No hello, no I'll be with you in a moment... Nothing. The busser grabbed us waters and the hostess grabbed us menus. We were considering ordering margaritas but then witnessed Maxine dumping a new batch of margarita mix into the old container.... The date was just a little over 2 weeks old on the container. That's when we should have left... We ordered a 3 item como. Two shredded beef tacos and a cheese enchilada. The tacos were sour... Not a great taste for beef. The enchilada was Luke warm. We barely ate half the meal and asked for the check. We were never asked how it was. Over all the bar was disgustingly dirty, the food was terrible and the service even worse. Were honestly worried about getting food poisoning. This was my favorite restraunt as a kid, this expierence makes me very sad and disappointed. I will never return.
