Case: Went to Las Vegas recently celebrating my hunnie's sisters' birthday. Choose Brand Steakhouse due to variety and good pricing, was a bit skeptical cause sometimes just because the price is cheap doesn't mean the food is good. Was I wrong food was EXCELLENT!! We had the hot rocks for appetizer to start I thought not only was that fun for the family but it tasted really good. For dinner we had the meal for four it was an 80 oz steak we shared with two sides which we got garlic mash and grandma's mac n' cheese dinner was equally as good loved the mac n' cheese it was super creamy. As we rolled right onto dessert we got a kentucky butter cake to share simply light yet delicious. Over all experience was stupendous!! Service was great, a must go next time we hit up Vegas again.

Case: Lunch on 12/7/11...a bad choice. Not crowded@ about 1:30 p.m. We always sit in the bar area. Not a good idea to have the bartender wait tables. First...ordered a glass of Sutter Home Pinot Grigio. Was told \""we don't have that now\"" and was offered Little Black Dress Pinot. I asked if it was the same price as the Sutter Home..told it wasn't but was advised she would \""give it to me at that price today because I was having a bad day\"". Why should I pay more for an \""upsell\"" when they didn't have what was on the menu?  Ordered sandwich with fries. Received my meal and the fries were old, shriveled and barely warm..so were my husband's. Obviously, we were given the leftovers from lunch that had been sitting under the heat lamp. Asked for and received freshly made, hot fries. The manager approached our table asking how everything was. I let him know what had transpired. He seemed totally disinterested but he did comp my lunch. The bartender/waitress came with our check and she basically admitted that we were served the \""leftovers\"" from the early lunch service. This Applebees has gone downhill in the past several years. We used to have lunch here quite often in the late 1990's but we will not be back. Things have steadily deteriorated the past couple of times we've been here. I don't think it's too much to ask for hot fries and to have an item you offer on the menu. Another example of the lack of quality and concern by chain restaurants!!!!'hmmm

Case: This place has character, that's for sure.  How do you rate a place that wasn't necessarily built for concerts, more like choirs, let's say.  Originally a church it's seriously super cool to be inside listening to a rock band.  I don't think they did much to change the place other than add equipment for the shows.  I'd assume you'd have some nice built in acoustics for singing, not sure about rocking though...\n\nIt's not going to be your fancy pants Stage AE custom built for concerts, but gosh darnit does it have some history and bring some awesome bands to the Burgh!  Seriously, they bring in some great acts.  If I'm scanning the city paper for ads I usually pick out at least one or two shows a month I'd go and see.\n\nBeing an old head I enjoy that the over 21 bar area is split up from the youngins.  I had my mosh pit days.  Now I just want to stand with my beer and watch a nice quite, er, loud rock show.  No shoving for me!  My Yuengling was $4, not bad and NOT fancy pants arena prices, thankyouverymuch!  \n\nI wish the parking situation is better.  It's in a random part of town that has no real parking lot area, so you have to kind of fend for yourself on the street.  So come early if you want to rock early!  I obviously want to use the word rock as much as I can in this review... so if you want a place to rock out, this is your place... to rock!

Case: The only positive thing about Bonanno's is its availability after 2am.  Sadly, it's a pretty awful excuse for a pizzeria.  Even Sbarro's would have been more desirable.  Once again, dining by necessity.  [Original Visit: November 6, 2010]

Case: Service was ok... My pasta was over cooked .
Classification: torula


Case: This place has great food but the service is alright. I got the tequila jo's shrimp tacos and coffee and both were very good. The waitress was kind but our food and drinks took a very long time to come out and the food servers were very rude and impatient. In general, I think not only this restaurant but the entire SLS hotel is understaffed considering their recent opening and thus the service here wasn't any worse or better than the overall service we received from the hotel and casino.

Case: Stinks off smoke, bad waitress service, average to poor food.  This is a dive bar without any off the virtues of a dive bar.

Classify the following: Quiessence is, simply put, beautiful.  Full windows and earthy wooden walls give a feeling of warmth inside this restaurant perched in the middle of a farm.  The restaurant seemed fairly full even on a Tuesday evening; we had secured reservations just a couple days before.\n\nMy friend and I had sampled sandwiches at the Farm Kitchen earlier that week, and were impressed enough to want to eat at the restaurant.  The crisp, fresh veggies didn't disappoint: we ordered the salad with orange and grapefruit slices and the crudites to start.  Both were very good; I didn't even know how much I liked raw radishes and turnips until I tried them with their pesto and aioli sauces.\n\nFor entrees, I ordered the lamb and my friend ordered the pork shoulder.  Service started out very good, but trailed off quickly.  Waiting for our food took a very long time (a couple seated after us received and finished their entrees before we received our's), and no one bothered to explain the situation until the maitre'd apologized almost 45 minutes later.  Apparently the chef was unhappy with the sauce on my entree, so he started anew.  This isn't really a problem, but they should have communicated this to us earlier.  For our troubles, they comped me the glass of wine I ordered, but they forgot to bring out with my entree  as I had requested.  Also, they didn't offer us bread, but I will echo the lady who whispered this to us on her way out: ask for the bread.  We received warm foccacia, apple walnut, and pomegranate slices of wonder with honey and butter.  YUM.\n\nThe entrees were both solid, but didn't quite live up to the innovation and freshness of the vegetables.  My lamb's sauce was delicious, but the meat was tough.  Maybe the vegetarian entrees are the way to go?  But our dessert, the gingerbread pear cake, was yet another winner.\n\nIf the entrees were tad more inspired, or the service weren't so spotty, this place definitely would have warranted five stars.  If I return, I'd like to try the 75$ tasting menu.  Our bill came out to about 100$ for two people, including tip, no drinks.
