Case: Took my parents here twice and my hubby and I keep going back. Mom is German and she loves how everything has tasted so far. We tried the chocolate cake that is made with sauerkraut juice and oh my gosh, I need the recipe! Not a big fan of chocolate but this was oh so darn scrumptious! Thank goodness there were 4 sharing it though. Lol. Gosh, the potatoes are so relish too. Well, really, what isn't good that I have eaten there yet! Hahahah \n\nThe waitress' have been really nice and the cleanliness of the restaurant has been well maintained. Great location!\n\nWe will definitely be back!

Case: Was not the best steak I've ever had in my life but hey it's Vegas...everything is overpriced but this is one of the restaurants on my bucket list and I had to hit it up. My bill was under $200 for a couple steaks and a couple glasses of wine. I would probably be returning here again

Case: \""The kitchen won't let me substitute fruit for potatoes.\"" So began our dining experience at The Aria's Cafe Vettro. It is in par with other soulless food places (like Denny's or IHOP), where food functions as necessity instead of experience. Another disappointing way to spend $50 for an otherwise $5 meal in Las Vegas.

Case: Not the best place, but the waitress was giving outstanding service.

Case: My family of 4 (3 and 5 yr old) wanted to love this place, but it was a waste of money!!!  We want our $60 back!! First of all, they claim to have the largest conservatory in America.  Yes, by blueprint this may be true, but when you walk in it does not look like a rainforest in anyway and you only see one or two types of butterflies.  Please make way to Houston's butterfly conservatory (Texas).  That is a real rainforest carrying all kinda of butterflies from around the world.  Also, there was no information to be found on walls about anything you saw.  They give these cards to the children to ask a volunteer for a \""fun fact\"" and we only passed 2 volunteers! There was no one available to tell you what you were looking at.  No signage of explanations of any sort.  How is this educational? Please please do not waste your money.  You are better off watching YouTube videos or going to the library for information. Also, they had ants and bees.  Same thing no descriptions.  We walk into this tiny aquarium with maybe 3 fish tanks with 2 fish in them.  We saw one lady who asked if we were going to do some petting.. Um ok and proceeds to give us hand sanitizer. First of all what are we petting?? We put our hands in the water to pet what looks like a stingray??? No signage??!!! No one is there to tell us anything!!! So disappointing.. Again, why is this educational? The fish in the tank has a white piece of paper on the wall that looked like they had just printed it earlier that morning with the name of the fish.  That's it!! No other information about where the fish is from.. Nothing.  My husband made a comment.. Hey we eat that fish.  You can get that at the Asian market. Lol oh and when we waited to see the movie, a man came in and had to read off a piece of paper his welcome message which had nothing to do with the movie.  just about where the exits were.  Lol nothing to see here.  The only cool thing my kids got was a butterfly and caterpillar balloon that was not made by them (Willie's creations) because it was the grand opening weekend.  Also, the 3d flight of the butterflies movie was great for the kids, but not worth $60. I don't think so.  Save your money and go to desert botanical.  At least there are people who can give you information. Oh and need to add... It took us 35 min (not including movie) to see everything.  We had planned for this to be at least a 2 hr adventure for the price we were paying!!

Case: I'm so sad to write this review. I loved this restaurant when I went for the first time three years ago. Until last night it was the best meal I had ever eaten. The flavors were unbelievable. Last night the flavors were awful! I'm not even comparing it the first time when I say that. I ordered a steak (NY strip, I usually get a fillet, but for some reason wanted a NY) with baked gratin and a lobster tail. The first thing I tasted was the gratin, the reason I didn't like it was more a personal taste issue, I don't like the flavor of crisp cheese (like the \""burnt\"" cheese on a cheese bagel), but that isn't the chef's fault. Over all the gratin was fine, but I kept feeling like I could make it better myself (not to toot my own horn, I'm an average cook, the gratin just wasn't that great at all). I peeled the top off and ate the rest. I gobbled up the lobster, I don't know how they are suppose to taste though, it was only the second time I've had lobster (The first was at the seafood buffet in Vegas, and I liked it a lot, so I decided to try it again:) it was good, but the buffet was better, that makes me question how good it really was though :). Next I tried the steak, it was the toughest steak I have ever had. The quality of the meat was HORRIBLE! It actually hurt to chew, it was so tough! I'm sitting there thinking \""Yayyy, I have a $35 steak to eat tonight....\"" then I get less than a $5 walmart quality piece of meat. Very bummed I was! I took three bites, and I actually felt like I didn't want to eat it anymore. This is not a norm for me, I'm not very picky. So, my loving Hubby's broke the ice and let the server know I wasn't happy with the steak, and he was very kind and offered me a fillet. I accepted. The problem was by the time it came out I didn't want to eat a steak, I had already eaten the potatoes and lobster and my Hubby's shrimp :). I also had my eye on a dessert that sounded really good, I wanted to save room (see, I'm forgiving! I was gonna keep ordering! :). The server packaged up the second meal and brought out a complementary dessert. How nice! Well the thought was nice! The dessert wasn't! Here is where my disappointment just set in (with the food, the service was great). It was a sampler, so I had cheesecake, cobbler, and brule. The cheese cake was very bad (grocery store cheese cake beats it!) it was dry and crumbled, it tasted sour, not sweet. I only took a taste of the cobbler, it wasn't good at all. The brule had a really disgusting rum sauce on top, but I scooped it off and the custard was ok. I could just tell this place has really gone down hill, it must be the economy. \n\nEven though I do have higher expectations in a restaurant like this, I would have been ok even if the food was just a little bit better. It really was just bad. I tasted a little of my Hubby's meal :) he had a steak also, but I didn't taste his. He also had a corn and potato mash, it was pretty good. The shrimp were also pretty tasty. So, not everything was horrible, but, it just wasn't very good at all. When you are talking $150 meal for two, I expect better. I can go to Flemings and pay that and walk out with my eyes twinkling from happy eating. \n\nSo, the food one star, just bad. The service earned another, they were very understanding and tried to make up for my dissatisfaction (they only knew about the steak though, they don't know how unhappy we were with the other food).

Case: Great dive bar. Good service at the bar. Awesome specials. Regular bar food but it is what it is. And if your in the mood to kill time it's great!

Case: If ONLY the service matched the surroundings!  The Wine Loft has the most luscious, sophisticated New York hip, cool vibe to it.  Dark, sexy, deep soft couches and low-slung tables...great to snuggle into and have deep romantic or even deep philosophical discussions.  But, sigh, the service!  \n\nHow nice it would have been to sit for a while and enjoy some fine drinks and food....not to be.  We ordered drinks and waited.  And waited.  And waited.  A glass of wine - helloooo, it IS the WINE loft - and a martini shouldn't have taken 20 minutes.  Actually, it was 20 minutes when we left.  I have no idea how long we would have waited.  We went around the corner to Tusca and had wonderful service, outstanding drinks and fine array of  tapas plates.  Next time we'll hit Tusca first!
