Text - Purchased a Groupon for Riverview and due to the decent reviews, thought we would try it out. Should have saved my money and time. \n\nThe food was flavorless and left much to be desired. The service wasn't horrible, our drinks were constantly being refilled and everything came out in a timely manner. \n\nOrdered the fried calamari because I was intrigued it came with banana peppers; thin calamari pieces, weak batter. Should have tried the shrimp instead. Entrees of seared Mediterranean tuna over rice pilaf with hush puppies and snow crab clusters with the tomato cucumber salad and yellow grits. The tuna entree came out cold; not even lukewarm. The \""Mediterranean\"" topping on the tuna (described as tomatoes, feta and olives) was just olives. The tomato cucumber salad was soggy as though it had been prepared many days ago and left to sit. The grits were bland. \n\nWhen we were ready for the bill and told the server we had a Groupon, her demeanor instantly changed and she was cold and rude. \n\nCouldn't even make it home before we started to feel sick. I would NOT recommend this place.

Text - Great place to eat for kids, pre or post Shark Reef.  Stoller parking,  high chairs, and kids portions are the mommy trifecta.  Bring your own crayons, they can write all over the white paper on the table.\n4 words u need to know why this is a 4 star place: \nSOFT SERVE ICE CREAM , choice of vanilla, chocolate, or swirl. Wait..there's more...\nGummy Bears, Sprinkles, and Mini M n M's, oh my !  \n\nMy kids dusted off  the kiddie size penne pasta in marinara sauce.   I asked for a meatball on top & received it no problema.  It came with 2 huge slices of bread.  My son was not a fan of the bread, only because it had \""green stuff\"" on top.  Next time, I'll ask for it with just butter.  However, when the ice cream arrived, whoooo hooo, I think it just blew away the afternoon from the Shark Reef.\n\nI usually get the Roast Beef sandwich, because I like the rareness of how they do it here.  Service is prompt and good, and my diet coke was refilled via mental telepathy each time.  I usually take the other half of the sandwich home, head over to the parking structure a few steps away, and we are done.   If you are in a mad rush, go to the take out window.  This is a true deli style place !

Text - If you need to a break from the many bars in the Luxor or in the Mandalay Bay, then go to this bar that is located in between.\n\nIt's Irish, so they have the standard \""Irish\"" drinks, the \""Irish\"" food and Irish music too. And with the great music, the mood here can be really lively. It's open late night too.

Text - Ordered the 7 course tasting menu.  Excellent flavors and impeccable service.  My husband had the 5 course tasting menu.  Great view,  Nice wine selection...had Chardonnay and Malbec.  Good choices. Good idea for watermelon pairing with heirloom tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.  Duck breast and spicy quinoa was a good pairing.  Loved the poached pear.  Beautiful plating and dish selections.

Text - We (8 friends) have been coming to this restaurant for several years during our annual Vegas trip. The service and food are always great. Not anymore. We reserved a specific table 3 months in advance. When we got to the maitre 10 mins before reservation time he said he would not seat us until the whole party was here and by the way \""you need to be aware that we need to sell the table again so don't take too long\"". Incredible. He would not sit 4 of us (the rest were shopping for a few minutes) AND he had the gall to tell us to hurry up once we sat. This at a place that typically sets us back at least $150 per person. So our table sat empty while the rest of the party arrived (15 mins). Of course we had told the maitre that if he sat us before the rest arrived we would start drinking and eating. He still refused. When he finally sat us, I politely thanked him and asked his name. His answer? \""What is YOUR name?\""  I gave it him and he just looked at me, refused to say anything and left. This is truly apalling service for any price level. Clearly these guys feel like their full house (and mostly tourists) justifies them giving unacceptably bad service. Spend your money somewhere else, where they will actually appreciate it.\n\nPost-meal update: The stone crab legs were ok and the King crab was amazing. Mac and cheese always great and two people said they would come back just for the banana cream pie. Our server, JJ, was funny, nice and professional. As usual, after countless crabs legs and bottles of a really nice white, we paid ~$150 per person and would be well worth it except for the maitre'd interaction, which really soured us on the place (I upped it to two stars because of JJ and the great food). The owner has contacted me, which is always a good sign of managers actually caring.

Text - Only 2 stars, because the food was amazing. Just terrible service. Starting off on the wrong foot. Our server literally threw the coaster at my father. He was so irrate and ready to throw it right back at her, we had to calm him down. I told her, you can get away with throwing coasters possibly to the younger people at the table, but my father doesn't like that, and I asked her not to do it again. I still tipped her well. I will go again, but I know my parents never will. Next time I am also going to speak with the manager.

Considreing the above, classify the following: this reminds me of the ghetto mall from my home town...very...abandoned.  i came by here in the AM in search of a pair of cheap flip flops for my vacation.  as i walked across the parking lot a creepy car was passing by and slowed down to take a look at me.  first the dude just said hi, started to drive away and then stopped and tried to call me over.  i walked a little faster so i could get inside.  there's a macy's and a dillard's in here, so i wouldn't consider it a complete failure, but you know you're on a downward spiral when there's a Fredricks of Hollywood with a Bling Bling stall right outside. \n\nthey had an old navy though, and god knows old navy makes cheap ass flip flops, so i was set.
