Case: I'm in the buffet at this very moment. It is certainly the worst buffet in Las Vegas. I don't understand how this place can get more than one star from anyone.  The food is mediocre at best.  The food does not look appetizing at all.  The selection is anemic.  The food does not look or tast fresh at all.  VERY disappointing. I much have rather paid the $12.00 for the personal pizza at 800 degrees.  There are not a lot of people in here at the moment which did make me wonder if I made a bad choice upon entering the restaurant. The best thing here was the banana.  I was hungry and had to force myself to eat this STUFF!!!  Stay away from this buffet.  It's not worth the price or the time.

Case: The wife and I stopped in on a whirlwind tour thru all the new and fun shops that have recently opened on Selwyn.  This store is definitely worth a look into and you'll probably want to bring an insulated bag in with you, since you're most likely to come back out with at least one purchase in hand.\n\nThe main draw, as you might expect, is the large meat counter that curls around the front of the store.  Lots of fresh cuts of steak, homemade sausages (spicy and sweet) and even vacuum-wrapped chicken breasts marinating in a barbecue sauce.  Don't see what you want?  Just ask, at least a couple butchers are on duty behind the counter and they are knowledgeable and ready to assist.  They will also cut you as much or as little to match your needs.  This is a nice change from most of our grocery stores, where pre-packged meat is \""take-it-as-ou-find-it.\""  Since the wife and I only cook for two usually, it's nice to be able to just purchase a smaller amount.\n\nTo the left of and towards the back of the store, there is also a wide-ranging selection of pre-cooked and refrigerated sides dishes: mac-n-cheese, broccoli salad, veggies, etc.  There is also a very big selection of frozen pastas- raviolis and sauces.  Seriously, I could make a week's worth of dinners here and never pick the same thing twice.  Not bad for such a compact little store.\n\nUp front there is also a small but ample wine selection, if you need the one-stop-shop.  I'm a wine guy, so I like a little more selection and Charlotte is chock full of wine stores, but you could make a night of it at NY Butcher Shoppe without having to stop in elsewhere.  \n\nDon't miss their weekly-changing meal deal either.  The week I was in you got a couple marinated chicken breasts, mac-n-cheese, and broccoli salad all for about $20.  Not too bad.\n\nFinally, lunch or dinner can also be at hand with their selection of fresh-made deli sandwiches- Boar's Head meats and cheeses.  They make 'em big, so be warned.  The wife and I were easily able to share one between us.  \n\nThis is the place to go when you plan to grill out or cook that dinner for someone special and you want to impress.  Also, if you are looking for harder to find cuts- like hanger steak, these guys can accommodate.  This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and I'm definitely coming back for more.

Case: Overall, I thought Delmonico was unimpressive given its rep and price point. I would suggest SW Steakhouse or Gordon Ramsay instead. \n\nHere's the salient-\n\nService\nThe Staff was friendly enough but nothing special. There was a LOUD diner (really loud as I'm from NYC and used to noisy restaurants) and, despite my request, my server did not ask the guy to take it down a notch. \n\nFood\n- The popovers, to start, were good but I was disappointed that no other bread was offered, which is usually the case with steakhouses.\n- The word that comes to mind when describing the quality of the filet is mediocre. It looked like it had been pulverized with a meat mallet. Pretty bland and not juicy at all.\n- My friend did enjoy his pork chop and it looked much better than my steak. \n- The twice baked potato was a big disappointment given that the bottom of it felt rock hard and the whipped potato on top was bland.\n- The fried apple pies were adequate. My friend really liked the pecan pie.

Case: I Looooooooove chipotle.  But Unfortunately I miss the one I used to go to which is too far away for me now since I used to live in chandler/ahwatukee area.  It's a little cold in here or maybe it's just me.  I wasn't fond of the cashier and there weren't many on the smiling side.\n\nHowever, the food still tasted great.  I love rice and I always get a burrito bowl with extra rice (they only charge you if you ask for extra meat).  So I used to get a burrito that they could not completely close because I asked for extra on too many things.  However that makes a mess on me so I get the bowl instead and this place is great for filling up on good tasting food on the cheap.\n\nIf I went there and there were happier people, I would boost the rating, I just felt like the cashier was peering through my soul... not what I want when I want food.  I prefer going to a place with a positive atmosphere.\n\nEdit:\nwent back and people were much better this time :)  from 3 stars to 4 now.

Case: After waiting 5 minutes for a hostess to appear, we we escorted to the spot where it all went down. \n\nI reminisced over meals years ago when plates of hot and tasty food were served in sister restaurants around the states... then:\n\nCalamari: was lukewarm and tasted like fish sticks. Enough said. \n\nRice: was dry and al dente... at an asian restaurant.\n\nOrange peel shrimp: was the best dish, owing to its sugary sauce and only being slightly overcooked. The the orange rind tasted the opposite of fresh... I literally imagined oranges in a pile of two-day old trash being scooped up by the cook. It wasn't nearly as good as the same dish a couple years ago at another Changs.\n\nMongolian beef: tasted like shards of a tire. The green onions were offensive, inedible and awkward.\n\nGinger ale: watered down.\n\nDesserts: in my haste to depart, I ordered the one dish I could remember: mini-desserts, aka, sweet baby food for adults. One or two layers of this crap actually tasted edible, if only in small concurrent quantities.\n\nThis spot reflects on Americans' taste in food the way the WCW... u get the idea. Quality of all chain restaurants seems to experience the same sad decline that has befallen applebees, the olive garden, et al.--which threw quality under the bus for profit margins. \n\nThe next time I crave a cheap and decent chain-y meal, I'll drive my bourgeoisie romp to the Cheesecake Factory or Ri Ra.

Case: So glad that Lola has opened a second branch in Summerlin.  Bigger space compare to downtown location. Great service.  Great food.   The BBQ shrimp reminds me of my aunts recipe- she lived in Nawlins for years.
