Meat • Pasta • Chocolate • Steakhouse
"What a place to eat. We selected the steakhouse based on reviews and it didn't disappoint. We requests a corner table and it was waiting for us. It turns out the woman three tables away was cackling and it was load. One of the waiters noticed my expression and offered to change our table. I thanked him but loved my table so decide to keep it. The wait staff could not do enough for us. Ongoing water refills with new lemons, recommendation on food based on our preferences, continuous popovers so good!!!, empty plates removed quickly. We split a bbq shrimp dish for an appetizer excellent. We had chateaubriand, medium rate, as our entree it melted in our mouths. Dinner ended with cappuccino. I wanted the Bananas Foster I just had no room."
Thai • Asian • Curry • Chicken
"Wow really good, very authentic Thai food in the mountains. We got takeout but the dine in looked really nice as well. Rich delicious flavor without being too heavy. Jasmine rice is prepared in the sticky rice way was perfect with the Yellow Curry. I did not expect Paradise to have Thai this good."

"I visited the Yard House for lunch and found it to be less crowded than I anticipated. The wait time was about 15 minutes, our server was friendly, and the food was delicious. However, I didn’t give it a full five stars because our server took our order, then returned about ten minutes later to say she had accidentally thrown away our ticket and needed to retake our orders. As a result, it took longer than expected for our food to arrive. Other than that, the prices were reasonable for Vegas. I ordered a club sandwich with fries, which cost around $17.99. My friend had a steak for about $45, and another friend got a steak bowl for around $25, so the prices really depend on what you choose. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it."
Fish • Soup • Seafood • Ice Cream
"Don't miss this spot! Skip Taquamenon Falls and continue north until you're nearly in Paradise. The fish here is simple, fantastic, and incredibly fresh. There are no frills or sommeliers, but the quality of the freshwater fish is unmatched. Just a heads up: if they run out of fish, they close up shop, and the only warning you'll get is a handwritten note on the door."

"We went on a Monday at 7pm. We didn't need a reservation, though we sat at the booths near the bar, which I didn't care for. They were kinda isolating. The food was amazing though. Their complimentary bread is so good, some of them are almost like Italian meat sandwiches. The butter was good, and eggplant dip good too. We had two baskets of the bread. Calimari was good, according to my friends. I got a drink that sounded like a cranberry vodka with other stuff. It went down smoothly. My gnocchi was delicious. My friends' risotto and... other item were reportedly good. And my bombolini was good. I didn't want overwhelming chocolate, so I asked if I could have the amaretto gelato with it instead of the default. They obliged. I would totally go here again."
Tapas • Tacos • Mexican • Breakfast
"The food is decent, although the portion sizes are smaller than those at other Mexican restaurants. The drinks are not handmade, but they do serve soda, which is a plus for those who enjoy free refills. They offer vegetarian options, but unfortunately, there are no vegan choices. You can enjoy unlimited chips and salsa. The place can comfortably accommodate about 10 people and has a cozy, compact atmosphere. The bathroom is clean! Our server on this occasion wasn't particularly friendly, but he fulfilled his duties. Overall, it's a decent spot for brunch or a meal, and the flavors are delicious and authentic. Kudos to the chef! Give it a try and see for yourself."

"Have had not great experiences at other eateries at the Tuscany but Marilyn's is their saving grace! The food is good, affordable, and nice portions and attentive servers! Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Has the atmosphere of an old school, New Jersey diner, but what it lacks in decor, it makes up for in all other areas. They have daily specials as well as a full menu. Did not disappoint!"

"Really delicious food. We had the spicy cucumber salad and everyone loved them, followed by pork belly buns that were super delicious and finally ginger noodles with spicy shrimp that was fantastic. Chased it all down with a 22 ounce Japanese beer. Everyone was happy with everything and the added bonus was the exceptional service."

"Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 Dancing Tiger Roll and Pink Lady Roll. The Dancing Tiger is cucumber and shrimp tempura inside with spicy tuna, unagi (eel), and avocado on the outside drizzled with a sweet eel sauce. The tempura is crunchy and the eel had a good texture and flavor. The Pink Lady has cucumber, spicy tuna, and spicy crab on the inside with tuna on top and a garlic ponzu sauce on the side for us to dip. This roll definitely had a kick but we couldn’t really differentiate between the crab and tuna since it was heavily seasoned. However, delicious overall!Ambience: n/a ordered food to goService: 5/5 quick service and to the pointValue for price: 3/5 we got the buy one get second 50% off but the bill still came out to $24.30 so not the cheapest place around but good food at least!"

"I absolutely love my Dutch Bros! The staff is always cheerful and welcoming, no matter if I'm stopping by in the morning or need a double shot in the afternoon to get me through the day. They consistently provide excellent service. I usually use their app to earn points since the stamp cards are no longer available. I also enjoy collecting their fun monthly stickers, which my kids love too. The staff always has friendly smiles, and the service is wonderful. Their drinks are incredibly refreshing on a hot day, and the steaming hot beverages are perfect for warming you up and energizing your mind on a chilly winter day. We are so grateful for our Dutch! #DutchBrosForLife"

"The food was outstanding. I had the lamb chops that were tender and flavorful. My wife has special dietary restrictions so it is sometimes difficult for her to eat out. The server, Ayla and the rest of the staff did an excellent job of taking care of her. My only critique is that I felt a bit rushed as my chops arrived at the table 15 seconds after I got my salad. I sent it away. Perhaps there was a mixup in the kitchen? Remove that hiccup and it is 5. Special kudos to Ayla. Thanks!"

"Sadly as locals attending an event on the strip we were excited to try Virgil’s. Unfortunately is was not good. Not only was the food brought to us cold but our server didn’t come check in. The brisket was not even warm and very rubbery. The trash ribs were cold as well but at least eatable. Ironically for a BBQ place the only thing arriving to the table hot and tasty was the veggie tacos our teen ordered. Our teen and I both order costly iced teas that were empty before food was delivered and no one came around for a refill. After reading some other reviews we realized this is an on going experience and customers blamed for not bringing it up to staff. This is terrible as our server was MIA for 20 minutes post food delivery. Bussing staff came and asked if we were finished and we said yes. Only at that point did our server come over and offered us our check if we were ready! I will pass this review to locals and visitors alike as it’s important to spend money at places wanting to do better and deliver excitable service. As a person in customer service for 25 years, the customer should never be to blame for poor performance."

"Had reservation Friday at 7pm through Open Table for our 10th Anniversary in Vegas. We got there on time and this restaurant was closed! I mean boarded up closed and apparently not to reopen. It would have been nice to know something from Open Table since they took the reservation. Needless to say it was difficult to find somewhere to eat that was decent at that hour. Completely ruined our Anniversary. Thanks Open Table. We won't be using you again. Do yourself a favor and just call the restaurants directly."

"Expect to pay a bit more at Starbucks due to its prime location. Thanks to our Hilton status, we had a $15 per person allowance to spend on-site at the Tropicana. With limited options elsewhere, we chose Starbucks. The service was quick and the staff were friendly and helpful—no complaints there. For reference, here are some prices from the Starbucks menu as of 12/22/22: Drinks * Pumpkin or Irish Cream Cold Brew: $5.25 (tall/small), $6.00 (grande/medium) * Bottle of cold press juice: $7.00 * Bottle of Dole OJ: $6.50 Food * Brownie: $4.75 * Egg bites: $7.25 * Bagel (everything, plain, or cinnamon raisin): $4.25 * Plain croissant: $4.25 * Blueberry muffin: $4.25 * Sausage, cheddar, and egg breakfast sandwich: $6.95 * Ham and swiss croissant: $6.95 * Slice of pumpkin bread or banana nut bread: $4.25 * Glazed donut or cheese danish: $4.25 * Cake pop: $3.50 * Moon cheese: $3.50"

"Every time we visit this restaurant, we have a fantastic time. The food is delicious, although it is slightly expensive. The beer prices are reasonable, but the mixed drinks are a bit on the pricier side. However, the highlight of the experience is the dinner and entertainment provided by the incredible waitstaff, who are also talented dancers and entertainers. Caesar, the entertainment director, leads the fun and is the reigning sake bomb champion. It is definitely worth a visit, even if you just stop by for a quick drink. I recommend making reservations if you want to sit inside and enjoy the show."

"Amazing salsa !! Great service and a fun environment !!! But they need better cooks with more than one style of cooking who know how NOT to overcook all the meat they offer. ALL dishes taste very similar! All with burnt burn marks on "whatever" meat, mixed with similar spices and all well done to finish cooking. Burnt cremation, like a fajitas, but for every dish? This is the second time that I had to come here with the same results ... I refuse the next time I am invited ... Maybe have a drink because the mood is good and fun ... she just need better cooks ..."

"Hmm. Something was off at this recent dining event. I brought my mother niece to celebrate my birthday. I made my reservation about a month ½ in advance and requested center seating and a seasoned server. At an early check in, the male manager looked over the notes but did not enthusiastically greet us or mention my birthday “Celebrating a birthday folks? Welcome,” etc.., etc..” Okay, whatever, older Vegas managers aren’t the most energetic greeters. Moving right along. The waitress who seems perhaps a better fit for Olive Garden per her removed demeanor attempted to seat us against a wall with no other patrons in close proximity. Yes please seat me against a wall for my birthday so we can be lonely on this special day. All I got was “We can’t guarantee a seat” which according to other reviews is not the case. You map out your reservations ahead of time and keep a few floats open. I advised we would wait, then another minutes or so to be seated. You should train your hostess to Maitre’D so the flow can happen vs random seating. The server jumped into the menu wno introduction. He was pleasant and quick and attentive enough but seemed to be drowning in tables receipts quite literally. The food itself was flavorful, and fresh. No complaints there, worth the prices in my opinion. After desserts I told the waiter “Thank you for making my birthday great.” He said “Oh!” and had no idea. He came out with a birthday plate and a small cookie assortment—after the fact. This restaurant has all of the ambience and sensuality to really be the hidden gem it once was. Tasteful music, thoughtful dining layout wprivate rooms, a good seemingly classy and wellheeled crowd, and a tasty menu that can tickle your appetite. A restaurant of this caliber should have a smooth operation and a nice flow that the conductor ensures is in rhythm. The steps of service need that proverbial Might be some months before I go back as we all expect more of a AAA rated place"

"There are very few moments of eateries where I ate that changed my outlook on food. With one hand I can count those moments: 1) Biergarten in Rothenburg, Germany 2) First Michelin Star experience at La Folie in San Francisco, CA 3) Horn BBQ in Oakland, CA. You can count this restaurant as number four. I came here on the first Wednesday night in August 2022 prior to the Silk Sonic concert. Throughout my 5 day vacation in Vegas I never expected to be a pescatarian. In terms of meat I rank in order beef, pork, chicken, turkey, duck, and fish. This restaurant would be my third night I had seafood for dinner. I didn 't know what to expect as I had seafood for dinner on Monday and Tuesday. I ordered several items. As this restaurant is named Yellowtail having two yellowtail dishes made sense. The first dish served was the Angry Yellowtail. I don 't like yellowtail that is cooked. Having a sashimi style raw yellowtail in sauce was a great way to start dinner. The angry portion of this dish is the sliced jalapenos that add a bite to the dish. The second dish served was the Akira Back Tuna Pizza. I 'm not a fan of seafood pizza, but the tuna pizza at Yellowtail wasn 't your ordinary pizza. The crackers act as a crust and had a buttery texture. The thinly sliced tuna with its seasoning tasted similar to prosciutto. Eating the Tuna Pizza at Yellowtail made me realize that it was one of the best six fish dishes I ever had. The third dish served was the eel sashimi. The eel wasn 't too boney or too oily. There was a meaty texture. The fourth dish served was the Yellowtail Scallion Rolls. Certain fish have different texture when they are either fried or raw. I 've had yellowtail deep fried and the texture is almost liver like due to its dark colored flesh. The raw yellowtail I ate at this restaurant is more of my preference. The fifth dish served was the Protein Specialty Rolls. At first the inside reminds you of a California Roll, but there is no imitation crab. There are three layers: crab in the middle, rice wrapping around the crab, and slices of fish on top of the rice. Bar none the best sushi roll I ever had. This dish is the other dish that is one of the six best fish dishes I ever had. I mentioned that the two dishes I had at Yellowtail were two of the best six fish dishes I ever had. This is how I rate my favorite fish dishes overall: 1) my mom 's home cooked catfish sinigang 2) Daing Bangus at FOB Kitchen in Oakland, CA. 3) Akira Back Tuna Pizza at Yellowtail 4) my dad 's home cooked catfish adobo 5) Steckerlfisch at Augustiner Keller at Munich, Germany 6) Protein Specialty Rolls at Yellowtail. Eating at Yellowtail dramatically changed my eating experience as two restaurants I ate at prior to eating here, I downgraded them one star lower than I normally would have. I didn 't have low expectations prior to eating at Yellowtail I just had no expectations. There were a couple of places I was more excited to eat at when I made reservations, but Yellowtail wasn 't one of them. After eating at Yellowtail I was blown away with my dining experience with their usage of cooking fish. The Las Vegas culinary scene has changed dramatically throughout the years. The city was known for its buffets in the last century. Then you had celebrity chefs with their eateries in the current century. I 've eaten at buffets, steakhouses, French, Asian, and Italian restaurants on The Strip. Of all the places I 've eaten in Vegas there 's no doubt the best place I 've eaten in Sin City is Yellowtail."

"I didn’t think it was possible to get a bad meal in Vegas but this place proved me wrong. First of all the menu is different from what’s posted on open table. When you get there you will discover a very basic menu reminiscent of a strip mall Italian restaurant run by people who have no idea of what Italian food tastes like. If you ask for cheese, you get Kraft cheese or something similar. The pasta is not fresh, and the sauce tastes like the jar sauce I had as a student. Even the drinks are terrible. However the pricing is in line with high end Vegas. A complete rip off. You are better off going to the food court and getting fast food. At least then you won’t be paying a fortune for ****"

"My $80 steak was very overcooked. The server agreed and informed manager. Server offered to cook another however due to the time it would take to do it, I declined. I was told the manager would come over but didn’t. At closing, they gave me a 50% credit of my steak, which I felt was unacceptable because steak was poorly done and I did not eat it. A high end steak house should have been more professional and not charged at all for my steak."
