When some of the world's greatest chefs were asked to demonstrate their creations, everyone knew the evening would be very special!

The moment you see the restaurant, your first impression is of a charming sidewalk cafe in Italy or on one of the Greek islands.

LAVO Restaurant, Bathhouse and Nightclub takes you back in time to an ancient Mediterranean setting. This fanciful design is imaginative in an extraordinary interpretation of a luxurious bathhouse.

The very Italian Espressamente Illy Cafe held a grand opening party in the Palazzo Hotel. It was a celebration for the first Espressamente in the United States joining 160 others in 32 countries around the world.

Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant's Summer Menu was designed from the intake of the top chefs from several of Roy's Restaurants who created their own dishes for the three courses- appetizer, entr©e and dessert.

Can you imagine a MEGA-I-Phone, one that encompasses an entire wall? The Hard Rock Caf©, on Las Vegas Boulevard, is ahead of its time.

An invitation to taste the UNION Restaurant's new seasonal menu is very special because it means a delicious array of one- of- a- kind creations! I am always amazed when the top chefs get together and the results are like magic!

"My restaurant is like living on the coast of California, you can almost hear the waves."

I feel that Ryan's Buffet, Grill and Bakery of Middlesboro, Kentucky is absolutely the worst restaurant I have ever ate in.

When it comes to picking a place to eat. For lunch we have the fast food chains, McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's, but when it is time for dinner, we have few choices. We do, however, have the one and only one of it's kind in the world, J. Milton's: Steaks and Buffet.

Chef Andreas explained, “Here where Mexico meets China, what is Chinese is very Chinese and what is Mexican is very Mexican. It is up to you how you mix them at your table.

I like the way the JC Wooloughan Irish Pub is designed. Diners have several smaller partially enclosed private rooms for romantic hide-a-ways, family get-togethers, and parties.

Everything about Wynn's Encore Las Vegas Resort is special! We chose the Botero Steakhouse, an elegant, richly decorated dining room which lulls diners into a sense of tranquility.

Everything changes when guests walk into the Strip House! Their elegant but flashy ambiance is playfully combined with vintage Manasse Studio glamour photos of women in the 1920's and 30's.

Capital Grille's Executive Chef David Sacco explained, '..."We dry- age our beef on premises, which separates us from the majority of steakhouses out there because not many restaurants do this.

I was invited to a very unique wine event, even the name was different- The Capital Grille's Generous Pour Wine Event. I liked the name Generous Pour.

A great meal and atmosphere are a duo that is hard to find. If that is what you want than the new Las Vegas Strip Hard Rock Caf© is the place to go!

I watched the Mariachi band performing on the stage and suddenly realized they were not real.

When you have a taste for Mexican food, Taco Bell usually doesn't make the top of too many lists. In actuality Taco Bell offers dishes that is sure to please any Mexican food enthusiast and hey, it's cheaper and faster than the La Mexican place down the street.

While the food quality as good as you will find at any fast food place, the service is deplorable. I know the employees are not exactly living out their life long dream and are working their little hearts out for minimum wage, but come on now, they can do better than that.

"When the worries of the day are too much, Australians say it's time to let go and 'Go Outback'. A place to stop, unwind and share time with family and friends. So kick back, relax, you're Outback." - From the Outback Steakhouse Curbside Menu.

When you go to Universal Studios, you are given an ample supply of choices for lunch and dinner. On a recent trip with my family and friends, we visited Finnegan's Pub, a quaint little place in the middle of one of Florida's biggest family theme parks, Universal Studios.

Mel's Diner is packed with one heck of a punch. This diner will blow you away with good service and great food. Situated in the heart of the Great Smokies, in Eastern Tennessee. If you long for the good ole days of fast cars and fast music, then Mel's is for you.

Enter Ron’s steakhouse and you are in another world reminiscent of the great steakhouses in early Las Vegas. The restaurant was named after Ron Lurie, a man known in the community with four years as Mayor of Las Vegas and
