Text - I used to come here because it was nice to have a Hawaiian option outside of The Cal.  Even though the food wasn't as good as Aloha Specialties, the variety was much better and local desert options were outstanding.  Did I mention the $34 all-u-can-eat sushi menu?!  Oh yeah!  The best deal on sushi in town bar none.\n\nWhen I heard they had stopped the all u can eat option I hadn't returned.  So this evening I hear their rolls are half off for dine in only.  So we have it a go.\n\nThe joint is self service.  Order at counter, make your water, get utensils, condiments, and wait for delivery.  So we ordered, got our things and waited.  \n\nKids had the saimin and udon at $6 a pop.  Both are bagged and frozen with packet dashi I'm thinking.  Not at all impressive.\n\nWe had the 007, Salmon lover, and two others.  Portions were small at full price, but about right if you're paying half price.  The rice was sweet sometimes, too vinegary at other times and fell apart easily.  Flavor was forgettable and nondescript.  \n\nWhile the staff is still friendly and Baba-B was providing the entertainment I can honestly say that we won't be coming back until they get their house back together.  \n\nA while ago I thought they'd be the victim of poor marketing.  But now, if others feel the way I do, it'll take much more to get this place back in the lead.  \n\nGive it a try and I hope you fare better.  Aloha!

Text - Meat and Potatoes is a very good spot that comes with a fairly high price tag but delivers decently well for the price. The food is good and there are a great selection of cocktails.\n\nThat being said don't expect to have your socks blown off. Its good but not great. With a name like Meat and potatoes I would have liked to see more steak choices. \n\nGive the place a shot.

Text - Wandering through the culinary halls of the Cosmopolitan can be a daunting task.  There is no shortage of wonderful restaurant from which to choose, and at some point you just have to pick one.  Last night, we decided to pick two.  \n\nMy wife and I decided that it was time to go experience Jose Andres, Vegas style.  Being from the DC area we had been exposed to his Epicurean talents but were not sure what to expect from this Jaleo or China Poblano.  With Jose it is best to expect the unexpected at all times.\n\nFrom the seating area directly in front of Jaleo we surveyed the crowd inside.  This place has an electric feel from hallway.  There are several different styles of tables including a foosball table conversion that seems a bit distracting.  The rest of the tables are diverse in style, and draw one's eye around the room.\n\nIn the center of the restaurant there is a small open-fire kitchen where they prepare the paella.  We sampled the lobster paella and it was phenomenal.  We also ordered an array of small plates and had an absolute blast.  The winner for me from Jaleo was the gin and tonic oysters that were so fresh and flavorful it made me wonder how they had gotten to the middle of the desert so quickly.\n\nThe service was prompt, attentive and friendly.  We have yet to indulge in E, but this experience made me realize that I must do this, and that I must do it soon!

Text - Cute place in a good little neighborhood however this was not my favorite breakfast spot . My husband and I stopped by to order omelette and traditional French toast. I was very excited to eat there since I had heard lots of hype about the place. When we got our food I was highly disappointed by the cold potatoes that were given to me. Also, the omelette was meh... Considering all the yummy breakfast options on Melrose, this place is not my first choice.

Considreing the above, classify the following: This was my first and only visit to the Brooklyn bowl. I loved the ambiance of the business but the bowling is what ruined my night. When there's a live concert there's a $100 minimum fee for the bowling which is so dumb. Then we waited until the concert was over so we only had to pay $25/per half hour (still not worth it) and they add food and drinks onto the one bill and charge for everything. Socks. Food. And unless you're playing they won't let you in so they wouldn't let our friends in. Most expensive bowling game I've ever had. $390 without tip. Also the service at the Lanes was slow. My friend asked the server what beers were on draft and he replied, \""it's on the menu.\"" Simply, they weren't friendly and over charged for everything! Never again Brooklyn bowl.
