review of Arabian Knights

“Left early....awful”

2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 25, 2012

We booked this show as it was voted the best dinner show for the past few years...Im not really sure how but having not been to any of the other ones in Orlando I dread to think what they are like if this is the best!!

We already had tickets so stood in queue for about 20 mins, when we got to the front we were told we still had to check in so were sent to the back of another queue for even longer and then back to the first queue again!

After which we were barked at to sit our bags down and pushed to stand in front of a blank wall told to smile and then move quickly on! This was so they later tried to sell us the photo for a total over the top price as they had added a background into it.

When we got to our seats there was only one seat and one set of cutlery. We were told to squeeze in and another knife and fork were brought. The waiters were dripping in sweat and constantly wiping their foreheads so needless to say I didnt touch the food that was brought (which I couldnt see as it was so dark)

The show itself was not what we expected, I dont know if they were having an 'off' night but they kept falling off the horses and then taking a big dramatic bow looking sheepish. Everyone just seemed to breath a sigh of relief if they managed to stay on!

We left about 45 mins before the end, tipped our waiter the $5 each that we were told we had too and left.

I really wouldnt recommend this at all and to top it all the tickets are quite expensive.

The only thing a little off the mark was when she said I had known Jesus in a past life, because I've had many lives and I was as old as the Eqyptians.

lolol

And finally, what really impressed me is, as soon as I mentioned the hubster's name, she herself started tearing up.

every anecdote i've ever read about a skeptic being won over by a psychic leaves me even more skeptical and non-believing than i already was.

A Cadillac of restaurants, dining at Heritage Tavern was the equivalent of riding a Harley Davidson down route 66 while smoking a Marlboro Red and listening to Manfred Mans rendition of Blinded By the Light in a pair of Levis.

Ah, yes, a fine rendition, that one.

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 13:06 (ten years ago) link

Don't think I've ever heard "Blinded by the Light in a Pair of Levis".

Moodles, Tuesday, 29 October 2013 13:20 (ten years ago) link

I've been blinded by the light in a pair of Levis, but not in many years, now.

I wish I could have a half star option. I'm not sure if it would be 3.5 or 4.5 but I kind of feel like I should be able to use this option. I know what you are saying as you are reading this. "Moron! If you can't decide between 3.5 or 4.5 then it's actually 4!" Maybe you're correct.

Stopped in real quick on the day of Pride to buy an umbrella because the weatherman said rain (lying sack of shit) and ended up browsing the whole store and buying a kick ass pair of earrings which I got soooo many compliments on and they were only 10 bucks.

It is full of so many fun things and accesories. I could browse for hours. I plan to go back when I am not being rushed into day drinking.

Pretty good is about best I can say. Place was packed with Ethiopian men watching soccer. Didn't really live up to kid friendly rep that sense but service was friendly enough. Ate the vegetarian combo and everything was ok not even close to the best I have had though. Call me crazy but despite lack of atmosphere still like Dukem food best.

single white hairball (harbl), Saturday, 16 November 2013 17:30 (ten years ago) link

The best part of that is that the place that was unexpectedly packed with Ethiopian men is an Ethiopian restaurant.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 16 November 2013 19:11 (ten years ago) link

Maybe it's kid friendly if your kid likes soccer and isn't weirdly racist.

Mr. Wristington, you're trying to seduce me. (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Saturday, 16 November 2013 19:37 (ten years ago) link

sweet lord

I grew up in the south. I am quite particular about my fried chicken. This place has got the recipe just right. and not to be racist, but when you see a big black lady frying up the chicken in the kitchen, you KNOW it will be done right. thank you Pies-n-Thighs for giving me home style food in the big city. I love you.

Did "not to be racist" ever make its way into the Depressing Phrases thread?

Vinnie, Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:05 (ten years ago) link

has there ever been an instance of "not to be racist" being followed by a statement that isn't racist? like has anyone ever been like "not to be racist, but that's a nice sweater"?

SHAUN (DJP), Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:07 (ten years ago) link

i think that exact joke got made in an episode of 'happy endings', so... sort of?

christmas candy bar (al leong), Thursday, 5 December 2013 21:24 (ten years ago) link

haha this is amazing

I'm sitting in a local bar and there is a dude sitting a few sears down with an iPad propped up, with keyboard, writing a yelp review ~at the bar~ as he eats. I hadn't seen it before, but apparently when using the yelp app ON IPAD and entering a review, it displays in very large graphics the number of stars you're giving. which means this guy is very conspicuously showing his starred review to any staff that walks by.

he is doing this on purpose, he wants free drinks

"Update: I find the club's policy of responding to Yelp reviews to be weird in the extreme, and probably counterproductive. Particularly the practice of saying anything that sounds like the reviewer is mistaken or has misunderstood the WAC's wonderful intentions. Corporate social media monitoring is creepy. I will not be staying there again. Yours in Yelptasticness."

so annoying how companies respond to people's comments about them on public sites devoted to their company, using yelp's built in help functionality to do so.

He deleted his comment after the company rep replied to it and replaced it with the above. The last sentence is making fun of the signature the rep used ("yours in hospitality"). I didn't bother to check but i assume his other review is for the tinfoil millinery.

HORRIBLE! I don't know were they find the retards or how little they pay them I've seen some dumb employees but the ones at uno are by far the most un professional I have ever seen when we got there we had reservations but that didn't even matter because it was first come first serve they then sat us down and left us just sitting there for like 25 minutes with just a menu they didn't even ask us what kind of drink or anything so we got up to leave turned the menus in and the bitch at front just goes table for two without even asking any thing the place is very poorly managed wouldn't ever go back. HORRIBLE! Would give a zero but yelp wont allow me to don't go to uno in baltimore p.f. chang is way better they have way better service and better food.
