Case: I went to Craftsteak with such HIGH expectations because of Tom Colicchio and the recommendations of my Best Friends. Delmonico's at the Venetian is my \""go-to\"" steak house in Vegas. With LOTS OF COAXING, I agreed to go to Craftsteak last Saturday night. I was VERY disappointed. The two BEST things of the night were the dinner rolls and the Apple Martini. I ordered the New York steak. I usually ALWAYS order the Rib Eye, but decided to try something new. I ordered it medium - it came to the table medium well. When you are at a high end steakhouse, you expect your steak to be PERFECT. It was not seasoned as well as I had hoped. I had to keep dipping pieces of my steak into the sauce in the pan. And the sauce was just mediocre. For appetizers, my Best Friends had the lobster bisque. We shared the scallops appetizer. I have had better scallops at the Lobster in Santa Monica at the Santa Monica Pier. With our entrees, we ordered the mashed potatoes and honey carrots. The potatoes were pretty good. The carrots were okay. Not what I would expect from such a high end restaurant though. And certainly not on par with other high end steakhouses I have frequented. The Waiter who took our order kept making us repeat ourselves. It was very annoying after the FOURTH time. Also, he forgot to bring me my Apple Martini. We had to ask the other server for it only to discover that it had been sitting at the bar waiting to be picked up for several minutes. I guess I am happy I tried something different. But I will not be visiting Craftsteak any time in the near future.

Case: My friend took me here for some good home-some Korean food. The Sulongtang soup was very good, and even better than some of the places in Korea Town in LA. \n\nTheir Banchan was also excellent, especially their kimchee which is made by them. They bring it in a separate black bowl and it's easy to share if you're a germaphobe lol. I will be a regular here whenever I want to down to earth Korean food.

Case: We went back and forth to where we were gonna enjoy our \""date\"" lunch and decided we want to start patronizing the \""local\"" small businesses/restuarants rather than chain restaurants so we ended up at Republic Kitchen....and what a joke.  They seem to focus on party's upstairs, maybe that's what is keeping them in business..  One server for the dining room which was also delivering food upstairs to the party.  Took at least 45 minutes to get our food and it was ok, not horrible but way over priced.  I'd normally cut the server some slack since she the only one on but her attitude was mostly the problem, not friendly at all!  No manager on duty that we could see and we where there for almost and hour and 45 minutes. We wont be going back.

Case: you can't really get much better than Debenhams, no matter where it is!\nThey have a great selection of clothes, appliances....heck I'm not even going to bother to write the rest of it down because you know as well as I do what they sell and how great it is.\n\nthis particular branch doesn't have a Henry Holland though, which I was really annoyed about when I got the bus down here to but a playsuit from Henry Holland the other day....tsuh.\n\nThe staff are lovely too!\n\nOne of the best things about this branch is the fact that it's quite quiet, so plenty time to shop in a nice quiet and relaxing atmosphere!

Considreing the above, classify the following: This is the place to go if you're looking for a depressing atmosphere and an excuse to miss class because you're too busy nursing your GI tract. It's a cafeteria style 'restaurant' (I use that term loosely), with cleaning carts visible stacked in the dining area. The food in my opinion is overpriced, overcooked, and well dangerous to eat (I got sick after my first and only trip to this place). Not to mention the small portion size for the price you pay - I mean at most Thai places, you can get another meal out of your leftovers, but not here...I also want to mention how empty this place always is when I walk by (on my way to the Subways, or BBQ joint next door) - never a good sign.
