Case: I've had better than Genghis Grill.  Why is mongolian BBQ difficult to find these days?  I can't find one in my neighborhood and someone told me to try Genghis Grill out. Since I was going to be in Tempe, I figured WHY NOT?!  Genghis Grill is  not my thing. \n\nWe got seated and handed a small metal bowl, I was confused.  At the other mongolian places I have been, you start out with a big bowl not this dinky bowl.  So, I say \""whatever, fatty\"" in my head and head over to the start line to get this meal going.  What do I see?  Nothing but the sickest thing I have seen in a long time.  A BIG-ASS BOWL of BLOODY MEAT, just sitting there in a bowl of blood.  I've never wanted to be a vegetarian so badly in my life.  I suppose I was used to YC's where the meat is frozen and shaved.   I don't like actually seeing the blood of a meat product, it really grosses me out.  \n\nAnyhow, the bowl didn't fit nearly as much food as other places, I guess it's good I didn't over -stuff myself but the price was higher and that whole  meat product area was really bad.  Oh and the scallops, I think they were scallops?  Anyhow it was like a bowl of white fluff (you know marshmallow fluff? in a far?) No real shape to them.    So this whole \""fresh\"" meat, chicken area is one of the grossest things I have seen in a long time. \n\nI must say that after it was all cooked and brought to the table it was more than enough food and it tasted okay, not what I was expecting.

Case: After a long day of double pool parties (Drai's then Marquee) and then a nightclub (Marquee again because Kaskade killed it at the day party), my friends and I felt like we were near death the next morning and were in dire need of some pho. We stayed at the Venetian and one of my friends had already tried the pho special the day before at Noodle Asia located in the hotel and it was terrible! So my turnt down party crew and I crossed the bridge and hopped over to Treasure Island to have a bowl of pho at their pho restaurant. \n\nThe service was pretty slow and all I could taste was MSG. The hot soup helped the hangover, but I had to add extra hoisin sauce and sriracha to hide that dreadful MSG flavor. The pho still did the trick because before I knew it I was raging with Diplo and friends at EBC, but I'll probably find a different hangover solution next time I'm in that neck of the Vegas strip.

Case: I honestly don't understand the love the Original Pancake House gets. The fact that their pancakes and their omelets are above-average sized doesn't make them great. In fact, I'd declare they're pretty mediocre, and I've eaten here several times.\n\nThere are quite a few things about OPH that irk me to no end, especially at the South Park location.\n\n1. Regarding their pancakes: yes, they're good pancakes. Best pancakes ever? Hardly. Don't get me wrong: if all I had to eat there was a stack of pancakes, I'd be satisfied. But when you hear friends and colleagues rave about OPH's pancakes, you're expecting to have your dirty, hole-filled socks knocked off. \n\nNot so much here. \n\n2. Their omelets are obnoxious-sized. Seriously. They look as if the line cook tried to shove an entire turkey inside a egg wrap. \n\nLook, I get that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That doesn't mean I want an omelet the size of the Hindenburg. I'm not going to finish it. Hell, I may not even last 3 bites. I'm not fond of places that tend to overdo it when it comes to certain plates. \n\n3. In the 5 or 6 times I've eaten here, I've never been waited on by someone who didn't have a shitty attitude. Ask for extra syrup or butter, and they look at you as if you just asked if you could perform all kinds of illegal and immoral sexual acts upon their mother. Considering this is the Bible Belt, some of those acts would seem immoral here, but where I come from, that pretty much constitutes \""going to first base.\"" But I digress...\n\nIn addition to shitty service is the lack of service to begin with. You get seated, and maybe, just maybe, your waiter/waitress will take a few minutes from bitching about how much they hate working here - and mind you, I worked my way through college as a waiter, so I sympathize with having to work a crowded restaurant - and maybe they'll realize your coffee's running low and pour you some. Or maybe they'll realize you don't have silverware...while your meal's on the table. You can't eat pancakes with your hand. I mean, you could, but that's barbaric.\n\n4. Speaking of coffee, their coffee is BRUTAL. A warm cup of water with a pathetic sprinkling of coffee grounds is NOT COFFEE. Then I realized they serve Royal Cup Coffee. This is the kind of coffee you serve to people you hate. Apparently, the management at OPH hates their customers.\n\n5. Speaking of customers, something about OPH seems to bring out the shitty in some customers. Apparently there's an addictive formula in their pancakes that makes some customers act stupid, although I seem to be immune. Every time I've gone to OPH, I've been seated next to patrons who speak too damned loud and want to share every excruciating detail of their lives, or behave towards their meal as if they'd just escaped from a chain gang and haven't eaten a meal in weeks. \n\nI know I pointed out the crap service, but nothing gets me as angry as a customer that treats a waitress like shit. Dressing down a waitress because she forgot to bring you your egg whites is uncalled for. And the behavior some patrons demonstrate here is a big reason why I won't return to ANY OPH, wherever, whenever. The joint seems to bring out a giant stack of stupid in people.\n\nThere are better places in town for breakfast. \n\nThe thing is, the existence of an establishment like OPH proves the incestuous relationship that takes place between \""well-established\"" restaurants that are merely coasting by based upon past glories and name recognition, and a general public either too ignorant to know better, or one that simply doesn't care.

Case: Great atmosphere, excellent service, oh yeah and the food was really good too! Our dinner started with a warm baguette served in a paper bag along with a celery root confitte, compliments of the Chef. A nice touch. The roasted chestnut soup, creamed cauliflower and seared scallops were real standouts. The only suggestion I have for those who want to make their dinner a long leisurely experience, would be to tell their waiter up front. They don't at all rush you here, they just seem to know what they are doing and thus are very efficient. \n\nNext time in Vegas we will definitely plan to stop here for another dinner.
