Text - My Wife and I decided to go here for something new and different and with my girl being a vegetarian I thought I couldn't loose with this spot and the rave reviews, Wrong!! I had the chicken burger a very poor execution i might say probably the cheapest chicken you could have pulled out of a frozen bag on a mediocre bun with lettuce and tomato very plain and tasteless. Along with over baked fries. The wife had the spicy peanut tofu dish and another big fail, what i didn't get was that it wasn't spicy or peanuty it was very bland almost tasteless. The service was ok they were nice, we got ice water the first round and warm water for a refill. At this point we still wanted to have dessert to hope for at least one good thing from this experience but couldn't stand to stick around so we got a red velvet cake to go, That was Good! But not worth going back for. This place seems to be hyped for way more than what its worth.

Text - The first time we went to Flat Top was great. We had a large group of our family and some we're vegetarian and some we're not do this place for all of our dietary needs. However, we Haven't been back in a while because during the next couple visits it got to where it would take 30-45min to get food and the last time it was dirty, tables, floors and seats all had food particles all over. On out last visit, and it will be our last, our food came quickly but it wasn't even cooked. Most items on the bar were still frozen and were all but thawed when arrived at the table. When we said something to our server, she said that is how it should be. Great concept but this location is doomed if they don't get it right. Can't believe it's still open. We didn't finish out lunch and walked next door to Penn Station for lunch. Flat Top went from great to Very disappointing

Text - I love izakaya and this place didn't disappoint.\n\nLet's see, we had about 10 items in total? The calamari was humongous, pan fried udon was great, my friend had the mackerel which he liked despite having to pick bones that he inevitably bitched about, I had a tofu wrap thing over bean sprouts that was great, yakitori/gizzard was awesome, etc. My only complaint was this sashimi thing with yam that was a little disappointing. It tasted kinda bland. \n\nWhat else? Oh, their menu is enormous and they even have stuff plastered on the wall, which we wished we had seen originally! yeah, they don't give you a heads up which is strange. But overall, great food good atmosphere. And it opens late.

Text - After seeing BLT on Top Chef I thought I should give it a try.  SOOOO DISAPPOINTED!  Service was also terrible.  The burger tasted like it had liquid smoke.  Don't waste your time or money here.  Try the Burger Bar instead!  My friend got the buffalo chicken sandwich, they even messed that up!

Text - The chicken quesedilla with guacamole and sour cream and salsa on the side is my favorite.  I am hooked on it, as their tortillas are so fresh - they are made on the spot, as well as the grilled meat.  Also, I have tried the grilled chicken salad, which is very tasty, with an unfried tortilla at the bottom.  Try it just for the tortilla!\n\n5-19-13 I was craving Mexican after having Frank and Fina's and remembered Cafe Rio. The pulled chicken quesadilla was calling my name!  I opted for the wheat tortilla, quite tasty, this time, and asked for an extra guacamole instead of sour cream.  I had half and it was fantastic!  The only thing that holds back the five star rating for this location is that the cashier is not paying attention and almost did not include my pico de gallo after pointing it out to her, and grabbing it for myself!  All in all a good fast food Mexican place.

Text - We were looking for good italian food without breaking the bank like so often happens in Vegas and we chose the right place. The food was very good. I had the gnocchi alla sorentina and my wife had the vegetarian foccaccia and we recommend both. The service was very friendly and prompt. As soon as we finished our bread we immediately received more snd the food came out very quickly. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

Considreing the above, classify the following: This is just not my week for tacos. The speed of getting food in a fast casual establishment brand like this was abysmal. Management seems to be absent.\n\nMonday catch up lunch with 3 friends to meet at 11:30 am. Most of us are there by 11:40 am, we get a table, the waitress brings our drinks. Ordering is sushi style, that is a pad of paper and pencils, and one marks the number of each item you want, and order everything all at once.  I ordered a plethora: Chicken, Fried Chicken, Carnitas, and Veggie Tacos. Plus churros, I was hungry. At $3 each is what a taco should be. There is a platter special of 6 tacos for $17 but one is limited to 3 choices and I wanted to sample flavors.\n\nWaitress comes by and collects our orders, my receipt says 11:57am. Our late friend arrives just after noon, he gets his order in about 12:10.\n\nAround 12:20pm guess which item comes out first? Guess. The churros! One has to wonder how it takes 20 minutes to make fried dough rolled in sugar. It's worse the dessert came first. Food finally arrived around 12:30. We were all so hungry we tore into it, so I'm not going to have a lot of nuance to say. The carnitas were moist, and a stand out among what was ho-hum and coldish. All came on corn tortillas.\n\nWaitress came by to ask how our order was and apologized for the churros coming out first when she brought the checks at 12:43pm. If someone had come out and said hey Vida Cantina's kitchen was slammed I would have understood but being left waiting on such a simple meal is terrible.
