"Absolute worst Mexican food I have ever had. They loaded up the rice with a mix of frozen peas carrots and corn it was also very undercooked. It was not enchilada sauce that I got it was more of a chicken gravy it was disgusting and had no flavor and they piled bell peppers all over everything. Who does that??? I will never eat here again and I'm going to be returning my food."

"Sinbad's has been around forever and despite what seems like a simple culinary affair it has never disappointed! There's a good selection of toppings and they are liberally applied. Be sure to not pass on the homemade mac salad. The dining room is charmingly decorated with themed relics from the past when a hot dog and a coke was 0.05. The owner, Kristine, is usually behind the counter and a delight to chat with before downing a quality dog."

"To my knowledge, this is the only Chinese restaurant in town that offers fried noodles, and I absolutely love fried noodles! In the photo, you can see about half of the portion I was served. The best way to enjoy fried noodles is to immerse them in the sauce for about a minute, allowing them to soak up the flavor before eating. There’s nothing quite like fried noodles that have been softened by the sauce. This restaurant also features a lotus root dish, which is another unique offering for the area. Both the fried noodles and the lotus root contribute to an authenticity that many other Chinese restaurants I've visited over the years lack. You'll definitely enjoy the delicious food, and the service is quick!"

"My friend and I ordered takeout from this restaurant last week. We had the salt and pepper fish, which was a standout dish and deserves a solid 5 stars; it's the best in the area! We also tried the scallion pancakes, which I’d rate at 3 stars for lacking enough scallions. The flame-broiled pork chop was absolutely delicious and earned another 5 stars. Lastly, we had the shrimp and pork vermicelli, which I’d give 3 stars, mainly because it only had two shrimp in it. Our favorite dish was definitely the salt and pepper fish, paired perfectly with grilled onions and jalapeños, providing just the right kick of spice. I'm certain that all their salt and pepper dishes, including shrimp, pork, and tofu, will be as fantastic as the fish, and we plan to return to try those! If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to include more shrimp in the pork and shrimp vermicelli. Overall, we just wish they offered dine-in options!"

"Second time at a Charlie Palmer restaurant (first was Four Seasons vegas, 2019, which is now closed . Our server, Erewyn, and busser, Forest, were the stars of the night. Erewyn has a passion for food and wine and it shows. Forest was very attentive throughout our meal and worked hard. The restaurant did not have black napkins, but Forest went to find some for us. The extra effort is applaudable. But then there was the meal. We ordered the bacon appetizer that came out completely unseasoned. We had to ask for salt which only made it nominally more palatable. The dry aged rib eye was also under/unseasoned and chewy like a sirloin. They butterflied it, so not a surprise there. The petite filet was a bit better but also unseasoned. The au gratin potatoes were good. The wine we chose was the highlight of our meal; mostly because it didn’t come from the kitchen. However, the executive chef did come out and sit with the table next to us for about 15 minutes (who were being comped their meal, assuming employees from another CP location based on their conversation . He did not stop at any other table to see how the meal was, including ours where a salt and pepper mill sat prominently, indicating that perhaps the kitchen didn’t send out properly seasoned food. Then the restaurant manager also stopped at the same table, but no others. I would think you would want to stop and talk with the paying customers and see how their meals were in order to gauge quality. That was definitely not the case and our meal was a reflection of the lack of interest. I doubt I will ever eat at a Charlie Palmer again because there are so many better steakhouses to choose from (and I’m wondering whether the $15 ribeye at the Cal-Neva wouldn’t have been better than the $89 one here? ! Nearly $600 later for a dinner for two and the highlights were the waiter and busser. At least service is good, because honestly, we probably could’ve had a better steak at Outback."
