Went for dinner with friends tonight. The place itself looks great, loved the lighting and projections on walls. That is the only thing that we found we liked. The music was a little loud and played during the commercials on TV, it was good club music though. When game came back on they switched on the audio for TVs. This was so loud that we could not talk across the table or even to the person next to us without raising our voices. This would not be a place to sit down for a relaxed meal and enjoy the company of the people you are with. Staff were friendly and for the most part attentive although apologized a lot for things they did not yet have. \n\nWe visited the website for the restaurant which is quite well done, the phone number listed though goes to a property management company that is not open on weekends. This number is on the website as well as on their facebook site. The menu on the website looked very good with a lot of options, once we got to the restaurant there was a limited menu. This was explained as they were trying some other options. The menu was so limiting as to have no appeal. Since they were trying out some options you would think they would come back and ask you what you that of them but this never occurred. There were salads but no appetizers. If you drink alcohol there were certainly options available. However, when ice tea was requested the response was the company they contract with had not delivered it so there was no ice tea yet. Certainly picking up a few bags of cold brew tea at a grocery store could solve this until vendor delivers. \n\nAs to the food itself, the short ribs had good flavor however they were cold inside. There was an Navajo fry bread option that had lamb on it. The flavor of the lamb, although a tad bit salty was overall very good. The \"fry bread\" itself was inedible. It was nearly impossible to bite through and the taste was unpleasant. Of the three slightly bigger than silver dollar sized fry breads less than one of the actual bread parts was eaten. The meatballs were underwhelming and another ravioli/noodle dish looked so unappetizing as to not want to eat it. The Caesar salad was unremarkable and nothing about it wowed us. Portion sizes were small when based on price. The dishes almost seemed like appetizers rather than entrees\n\nHope this is just the issue that happens with a new opening and that they have success. It is concerning though if they have been open for less than two weeks and are already trying new menu options. The online menu was certainly appealing, the menu in the restaurant, had it been on line we never would have gone. Based on quantity and quality after we got done eating there we left and went out to eat. Do with the Dakota success however based on tonight they have a ways to go before they will be ready for primetime.

So sllllloooowww. Ordered a fiesta plate,\nBeef kalaguen, and a spam musubi. Waited almost 50 minutes for it. So don't go when it's busy. Or order ahead. \n\nSummary: long wait time. skip the grilled meats and get the other items. \n\nOnto the plate: Sub the salad if possible it's a throwaway and makes the fiesta plate feel like it's not worth the price. \n\nCan the red rice can be more red? If eaten with the meats it gets lost. And the meat just tastes like grilled meats. The beef and pork was tough. Chicken was the best. The chicken kelaguen was good reminded me of larb. But the best thing were the shrimp patties! Crispy outside and tender in the center. \n\nBeef kelaguen was nice (like beef ceviche) and one of the better things i had. Ordered it with yummy corn (+1$) titiya(tortilla) \n\nSpam musubi was good but again would be better if the red rice was more spiced or however they make it. Tasted like any other musubi.\n\nI'm no expert in Guam food but I didn't feel like I got a real taste of it from what I ordered.

As a person who have lots of Chamorro friends, they've been hyping the place up on Facebook even before they opened.\n\nHere's my two cents: food was great. Tasted very authentic and now there's a place I can go to when I'm craving some red rice and kelaguen. The kimchee was also great! \n\nBut, I think that next time, I will just order for pick up. Maybe it was the fact that they just opened, but the room for sitting is very limited. There's about 8 booths that seats 4 and one table for 6. There was 7 of us and someone had to sit in the car to eat. Yeah.... That wasn't too pleasant. The wait for the food is about 15-20 minutes after ordering. But the up side to that is that they make everything fresh. \n\nAside from that, I really have no complaints when it came to the quality and taste of the food. My niece and sister loved the lumpia (egg rolls) and I also liked it and the shrimp patty is also an honorable mention. Perhaps they might expand, which I hope they do. They are garnering alot of attention in the Islander community. And I wish them the best. I hope that they become very successful! I will definitely come back..for to go. LoL

Honestly i expected much much more out of a las vegas buffet. Went here in NYE and it was 10 more dollars than usual. Not worth it as a vegetarian. There were only a handful of veggie options. I would havw appreciated beans in the latino section. News flash excalibur buffet, good food is a lot more than just meat. I will have to commend the tasty cheese ravioli. The desert bar was amazing. They even had a sugar free section and some of the options including the carrot cake were better!

Having moved 15 times and having been referred to Classic Delivery- WHAT A NIGHTMARE. VERY unprofessional and S L O W!!!!!!! A move that should have taken no more than 6 hours stretched out to 10 hours. The movers seemed to be strickly out of prison....just a TOTAL HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Would DEFINATELY NOT RECOMMEND.

As apart of our daily business, we value the workmanship of an Excellent Moving Company. We can always count on the guys to take care of our customers and their items. They are always prepared and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to moving the largest items in the tightest spaces! Whether or not the item is arriving to our store or being delivered to the buyer it is always wrapped for protection and safely stored on their truck for transport. We consistently recommend them daily and every time our customers come back letting us now how amazing their experience was!

A man came to the house to estimate. He gave me a card without a persons name on it (?) He said he recommended a large truck with three men. That is what was sent.\nVery nice men, contract employees, not employees of the company - but very nice.\nThey said they couldn't get all of our things in one truck and suggested they call for another truck. We declined at that due to the additional cost. We had to make three additional trips with our vehicle and still leave several items in storage.\nA call to the office offered no help.

Came in after shopping at neighbor Pier 1 Imports and found I arrived in time for happy hour-- 3p- 7p Mon to Fri, 11a to 4p weekend; $1 off SBC beers, well drinks, and wines by the glass, and a $1 off apps and snacks.\n\nTried a few samples of an SBC pale ale, and a couple of guest Hefeweizens, and settled on a very tasty pint of Sleepy Dog Brewing Parched Pooch! This tasted even better when paired with the Bacon and Cheddar tots-- three hand-rolled tater tots, which came with truffled sour cream. It was like biting into fried balls of mashed potatoes-- delicious, and quite fun! Tasted great with, or without the truffled cream. (I woke up in a lot of pain, though, due to the truffle oil addition, as well as the inflammatory white potato ingredient. )\n\nBreads are currently supplied by Wildflower Bread Co., but I'm told that SBC intends to bake its own bread recipes within three months' time. \n\nI wanted to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding bread pudding, but the kitchen staff did not know if the Shamrock Farms- supplied ice cream is corn syrup-free. Maybe the chef can whip up some creme anglaise, or a creme fraiche to top it with next time?\n\nA sweet service industry discount is available- tell your friends! I know I will, and next time, I'll take a tour of the brewery, and I hear there will be free samples!

My first thoughts when I walked in were \"wow this a nice big attractive place\". The large bar is right in front and has seating and TVs all around which I like. There are plenty of high and low tables and a nice outside patio. With the doors rolled up you get a lot of fresh air when you're sitting inside and I love the big glass windows that look into the brewing area.\n\nI sat at the bar and didn't see a list of beers anywhere and a lot of the taps aren't marked even if you can see that far. The waitress rattled off the beers but c'mon a real beer geek wants to see the details on the brewer, style, abv and ibu's. It wasn't until later in the evening when they printed up a list that I could see everything they carried including a couple that the bartender didn't mention.\n\nI tried their pale ale and thought it was just Ok. The flavors were a little muted and I'd love a little more citrus and pine flavor. I ended up drinking an Avery Dugana and a Bell's Two-hearted which were great.\n\nFor happy hour my friend and I shared the hummus plate and a burger. The white bean hummus was good but the flatbread was really tough to chew. The burger was OK as was the mac and cheese side. The mac and cheese would have been better if they added something like bread crumbs on top and then browned it to give it some crunch.\n\nI'll be interested to try some of their other beers. Arizona Wilderness and Fate Brewing down the road are doing a great job with their own creations. It will be interesting to see if SBC can gather a following for their beers or just be another place to grab a craft beer on a rotating handle with average food.

Best hidden secret in Vegas..... Great selection.... Totally recommend!!! Chef Beni is worth the visit!!

Really disappointing. Either the place was having a really off night (which you absolutely cannot have when you first open) or its just not good food. \n\nlet me start with one thing... we are not picky people. we honeslty are not one of these couples that send things back. we are the type like most who will just accept the bad food as a bad choice and eat something when we get home :)\n\nstarted with drinks... my girlfriend (who is cuban) said the Sangria was undrinkable. we sent it back - trust me - when it comes to alcohol we are never picky. if it gets you buzzed - it works. lol she couldnt even drink it. had to settle for a beer - of which her glass smelled like a wet rag. she was too embarrassed to say anything because we had just sent back the sangria\n\nwe ordered 4 things - some tapas and a margarita pizza to share.\n\nso - let me also say the place was empty.. only 3 tables were being used. probably bc that have done such a bad job letting people know its now open for business after many delays. the place is really nice. we walked in and were excited. looks like a very cool fun place to eat. \n\nbut the food was all a disappointment. they didnt have any platanos. so they had to cancel that (but still charged us for it on the final bill). the battered cod tapas were so salty they become almost inedible. she had a half of one and i choked down a couple more bc i was starving. but it was waaay too salty to be served in a restaurant. the pizza had potential - but the crust was odd.. we were joking that it looked almost like a wonton. i dont know if it was old or supposed to be like that - but it was hard. really hard. didnt taste fresh. again - i ate it because i was starving. she ordered the stuffed peppers tapas. also - very strange texture and taste. she ate half of one.. i stopped after a small taste. \n\ni know they are new - and i personally think they are having a hard time managing fresh food until crowds start coming in. we also got a kick out of the food being so bad and the chef outside shmoozing with the other two tables (which were obviously friends and family which made us the only real customers) instead of being in the kitchen. maybe if the chef spent more time in the kitchen and not on the floor the food will taste better.\n\nits a shame. i live across the street and was looking for this place to be a goto place like garfields was. perhaps i will try it again in the future. but someone will have to drag me. \n\ni write this in hopes the people at latin fish read this and work out all their kinks. id like them to succeed i think the place has a lot of potential to be a great hang out.

I love Lucy! Indeed. And Ricky too! What a delightful start to the year 2015! I feel like I've been transported part to the early 1940s and totally enjoyed the joyfulness and lightheartedness of the crew! \n\nHaving grown up outside of the U.S., this is my first exposure to Lucy. I thoroughly enjoyed the Broadway show, even without the prior knowledge of Lucy! I love songs, jokes and dancing; and I love Lucy incorporated all of those with the cute bickering couple Lucy and Ricky. \n\nI also really enjoyed the interaction by the cast with audience! Especially the quiz where they actually brought on a live audience and she won a huge goodie bag!! Although she did have to suffer through some poking fun by the host. Also, the backup singers did an amazing job of live commercials. Really entertaining with their dance moves and jingles. \n\nThank you Corey for sharing this wonderful show with us! It was a brilliant start to the new year! For sure! ;)

If you are one of the multitude of 'Baby Boomers' that grew up with Slinkys, Silly Putty, \"The Cold War\", Jiffy Pop Popcorn, and you being your dad's t.v. remote, then the current production of \"I Love Lucy - Live\" will be right up your alley! Currently playing in the warm and inviting Capital Theater at Overture Center, this show is a wonderful diversion from the current cold temperatures outside. It will warm your heart and transport you back to a much simpler time and place.\n\nA representation of how television shows were filmed, yes.........filmed....in the 1950's and 60's, the production gives you a glimpse of how the 'I Love Lucy Show' was staged and the hi-jinx that occurred on stage. Between the period costumes, sets, music, and the entertaining commercials, you really feel like you've been transported back to 1952! I really felt like I should have had that Banquet T.V. dinner sitting right in front of me.\n\nLucy, portrayed expertly by Thea Brooks, gives us all the well-known mannerisms, lines, fake crying, and calls for \"Rickyyyyyyyy\", that we would fully expect. Euriamis Losada, who portrays Lucy's harried and lovable husband Ricky, belts out the show tunes that would make the original performer proud. Backed by a cast of seasoned singers/actors/dancers, this national touring company does a wonderful job of transporting you back to the glory days of Hollywood.\n\nAs many Lucy re-runs as I remember seeing as a kid, I don't remember the two episodes that are presented as being produced and filmed, if they were really produced. However, the Madison Avenue ad-men that created some of the corniest commercials ever (at least by today's standards), and which really were produced, would be totally pleased to hear how many of their singing commercials I, and others in the crowd, knew the words to. Hard to forget 'a little dab will do ya!\"\n\nSo whether you're a baby-boomer or a Gen-X'er, you've no doubt seen at least one I Love Lucy Show and seeing this production live, and in living color!, will probably be the best two hours you'll spend over the next week. Now let's get down there Baba-luuuuuuuu!

MACARONS!!!! I've died and gone to heaven. \n\nThey are so light and fluffy. A little crunch on the outside and chewy on the inside, not to mention the filling! YUMMMM! I think I've pretty much tried all the flavors. Vanilla, pistachio and coffee are my favorites. I even tried the seasonal orange, which was delicious as well. \n\nGood thing Vegas is the closest Bouchon bakery to me or else I might be buying them every week!\n\nDefinitely a must try if you're visiting Vegas.

Wow, really? Bought one item from them, a ham and cheese croissant. First, I couldn't pay with my credit card since they weren't ready for such a strange form of payment. Then, they were supposedly heating my order up with their toaster oven press and when I got to my room it was as if they had taken it out of the refrigerator. Too bad I didn't notice it until I was already to my room. Obviously they didn't have their little heater plugged in or something. Plus, the woman at the counter who took my cash didn't even say thank you. The other lady who thought she was heating up my order did say thank you to me. That's the only reason they're getting two stars and not one. You provide lousy service; you get one or two stars from me on Yelp. Don't underestimate the power of reviews from real customers. It'll decrease your businesses if you stink. Thanks for reading.

We tried the Cheese Danish w lemon. Creamy, flaky and not overly sweet. It was fantastic. Chocolate croissant was yummy too!

Wow...over 2000+ reviews! Don't want to be repetitive to other reviews so I'm just going to list some drinks I always love to get.\n\nLocated at The Venetian Hotel on casino level, Bouchon Bakery is pretty hidden to first timers. DO NOT get this mistaken for Bouchon Restaurant, this is totally separate area. Bouchon Bakery is a small coffee/bakery stand tucked behind a set of escalators closest to parking garage down to casino level.\n\nI always get:\n-small hot caramel macchiato. \n-small hot hazelnut latte.\n\nPerfect amount of caffeine and flavoring. This place sure beats the heck outta that nasty Coffee Bean literally located just right on the second level. Take the escalators down and grab your coffee/pastries here instead!

Long line, inefficient staff. Maybe my expectations were too high but it just wasn't as good as I was hoping for the calories. We had the bread pudding and carrot cake cookie. Eh.
01 star
First: Please note that many people are reviewing the restaurant NOT the bakery. \nMy review is for the bakery. I have been coming here for years, but I am extremely sad to report that my last two visits have revealed that they just don't care any more. \n\nThey seem content to just coast on their laurels selling this stuff to rubes and foreigners \n\nThe coffee is good, but the pastry is where they need to re-focus. \n\nFirst, the biggest offender is their Macarons. They served us a nasty hateful hard lump of a cookie last week. This thing was seriously rock hard. They are supposed to be crispy with a slightly softer interior. That is the WHOLE POINT of the cookie. When we complained they said \"that is the way they are supposed to be, and the softer ones are old\" No, no, they are not. You overcooked the crap out of these which formed, essentially, a meringue. \n I have eaten Macrons across the world and made them myself. I was in Paris a few month ago and took down a half dozen of these from Laduree. I am pretty familiar with this stupid little cookie because my wife loves them. \n\nDo not insult me by telling me this hammer-substitute is in any way acceptable. They told us to take it up with the downstairs location if we did not like it and refused to refund or exchange the cookie. Astounding. \n\nThe rest of the menu items have just gone downhill. Their croissants are all but indistinguishable from the stuff they sling at buffets. The outside should be flakey and the inside tender. Not some glupey congealed mess. You know how I know its a terrible croissant? There was absolutely no flakes to clean up. \n\nI hope Dominique Ansel opens a location and shows you guys whats up.

By far the best croissant, flakey, crisp, every bite was amazing, the food had great flavour and really good service, best experience i had in las vegas.

I'm shocked everyone time I go to a Bouchon Bakery outside of Yountville. They are never good. Two stars just because it's located right by the elevators for the Venetian tower. But seriously, these places dilute the Bouchon brand :-(

My grass is greener!!! Call Ryan, dependable, professional & on time. My rental property needed a major clean up. Ryan went over the same day, gave me a reasonable quote and a few days later DONE! I hired him for monthly upkeep as well. Nice to find hard working people that have pride in what they do. Don't settle call Vegas Valley Lawn Care.

Great communication, They came out and found my irrigation leak almost immediately. Super nice guys. We will use them again. Highly recommended.

We had Jason and the guys do our yard clean up this time. They communicated well -- it rained so we had to re-schedule -- and did an awesome job! They even did a few small things that I didnt expect (cleaned up the pool a bit, mowed the lawn, and buried a sprinkler line).\n\nThese guys are our go-to lawn and irrigation company now. The same people who give you the quote do the work.

Wow, what a warm hearted honest and nice hard working people. \nI am so glad to find them, and they did great!\nI am sure you will be happy with them for your yard care. :)

I had a sprinkler that was gushing... pipe broken way below ground, it turned out. I read such good reviews about Ryan and Vegas Valley Lawn Care on Yelp, that I called them to have it fixed. Their work was great, and they were great to deal with. So I'll join their many \"fans\" and highly recommend them. Louise R. :)

Phone calls always go to voicemail and messages are not returned. Stupid way to do business.
01 star
Looks like all of the good reviews have gone to their head at this place! Jason and Ryan came out last fall and did a wonderful job pruning, etc. Called them to come back this spring and no response after first call. After second call, I was told they could only come on a Monday. I work Mondays, and left a message what days would work for me. NEVER heard back from them! After 3 calls, nothing. Very UNRELIABLE and UNACCOMMODATING..
45 stars
I was able to once again rely on Yelp to provide the needed response to my leaking sprinkler system. Ryan is the man for the job. He was on time, knew exactly how to fix the problem, make short work in performing the repairs; even though the system was not standard size tubing, Ryan quickly secured the components that ended my water leak. \nHighly recommend Ryan and Vegas Valley Lawn Care!

I have been using this company for 11 months. Ryan would come out every other week and do what he needed to be done. Very little was required as I have desert landscaping and pretty much maintained it myself. Just needed blowing and general light cleanup. Ryan was very thorough.\nThen his brother, I believe, would come out. I would have to watch him as if I was not looking, it would be a pretty much \"hit and run\" literally.\nI was expecting them Friday. No show, no call as they never call when they cannot make it. I have to call them and ask where they are or if they are coming. Finally a text back saying they will be there Monday as they are running late.\n\nMonday comes and again no call no show. I texted them...no answer...I was very upset at this point as I asked if they would trim a tree that is coming into my yard from a neighbor. Mind you, there is very little to do here...no grass...no weeds..no plants to constantly trim. I felt that I asked them to trim a tree and they could not be bothered.\n\nI am extremely disappointed in this company as they start out fine and as it continues, they seem to take their customer's for granted. NO COMMUNICATION...NOT EVEN A CALL WHEN THEY CANNOT COME. \n\nSORRY RYAN, I WILL TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. AS A BUSINESS OWNER, YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!!!!
