I have no idea what happened the evening we tried Arcadia. Putting trust in MM's reputation and the reviews on Yelp, we took a client here even though we had never eaten here ourselves prior. There was so much salt in our food, my mouth felt like…More »
Smoke and mirrors. I had high expectations for my stay at the new ARIA; however, having been transferred to it one week before check-in via lack of inventory at Vdara even though the Vdara reservations had been confirmed more than a month in…More »
It didn't even seem like the waitresses here were working at the same resort as those in the other bars at the ARIA. Bar Moderno is more in the center of the casino and in front of the room elevators. We visited this section twice, and both times…More »
The potential is there...they just haven't reached a high point, or middle point yet. It is a beautiful setting, as one would expect of a place boasting of Ms. Longoria's name. But salt does not make a bad meal better. Beso was the 180 degree…More »
Wow, no thanks. The food here was tasteless. I tried very hard to convince myself and my table of colleagues that Blossom was aiming for the highly refined palate, and we were to "experience the essence of ginger" in our very bland potstickers.…More »
Admittedly, Blowfish serves quality sushi, but tweezers and a magnifying glass are required to pick it up. The night club atmosphere does not come close to making up for the excessive price.
Did you get into a fight with your spouse? Upset with a friend who stole the gal you planned on asking out for a date? Want to ensure revenge via fast-acting gut bomb?
Take him (or her) to Corsa for an overpriced meal that will, literally, *leave*…More »

Walking into the store I was hit by the sickly sweet smell of fried doughnuts. That should have been enough warning for me, as I don't like doughnuts. But I was in New York! I wanted a Red Velvet cupcake!
Sitting in Union Square Park, I took one…More »
First, let me say that the dumplings and stir-fried green beans tasted great.
Our bill was placed on our table about midway through our meal. A few minutes later, the hostess asked us if it would be alright if she took our bill back. We thought it…More »

Ridiculously loud, bad music.
Horribly crowded dance floor, half taken up by VIP tables.
No space even at a VIP table. Hordes of overly painted bimbos kept stepping all over me to sit on the backs of the couches instead of on the couches. I actually…More »

Yes, we stopped here to grab a late-night burger. The group didn't feel like shelling out tons of dough for a proper restaurant meal when we just wanted a snack. It just wasn't the cleanest and most pleasant of places to sit and eat. You have been…More »
I don't like writing one-star reviews...but I just spent the first 36 hours of 2008 in bed thanks to food poisoning from NYE dinner at The Melting Pot. The most impressive part of the special menu was the prawn martini, which had 4 of the biggest…More »
Hmmm...yeah, I remember eating here once and it was so bad that it's now closed. 'Nuff said.
What a disappointment. The modern decor and interesting use of color and light promised so much more than what we actually ended up getting...which was bland, insipid food artistically presented on Asian-inspired stoneware. Do yourself a favor and…More »
When Romance is in the Air... (12)...these are some of the places guaranteed to serve up a memorable experience for that special occasion. |
Reasonable South Bay Dining Options (36)Places you can visit regularly for decent meals without breaking the bank. |
Ramen From South Bay to South Bay (17)Until there's more time to Yelp, here's the short list of ramen places I've been to from SF to LA. |
In Search of the Perfect Cupcake (20)I cannot possibly try all the new cupcakeries that are popping up all over the place; I would be fatter than high school Monica on Friends. But here are some places I've tried. |
Best Places to 'Cruz (4)Where I like to go when I have the chance to get over the hill! |
Late Night Places (6)In search of places to eat after 9:00 pm, these are the restaurants where we often end up. |
O Canada (13)It could be the refreshing mountain air, the high altitude, or the fact that Canadian cooks are often of European descent. I found Rocky Mountain cuisine to be above-average delicious and the bread served at every restaurant was unique and awesome. |
Sherri's Bay Area Sushi and Sashimi Experiences (59)Fresh fish is not a luxury, but a must-have, and after downing this staple at least two or three times a week, I still don't have as extensive a list as I should. Maybe I need to up my intake frequency... |
So Much to Do with So Little Time in Vegas... (48)I've gone to Vegas so often you'd think I'd be bored of it, but every time I visit it is usually for a company event or tradeshow with not much time to check things out. Also, the Strip seems to be in a constant state of new construction so it's never quite the same each time. |
Palo Alto Places (18)Some of my favorite places in PA to eat or hang out... |
