My husband and I have been eating at Red Velvet for almost a year now. Being from California, we miss having healthy and tasty food options and were excited when we found Red Velvet. There are some great dishes that never seem to stay on the menu conistently, but most of the food is mediocre. Still, the best as far as \"healthy\" goes in Vegas. I never write reviews but I must say I was appalled when the last time I went in to order my red velvet cupcake, I saw them put the plastic container with the cake into the microwave. Plastic #6, the most toxic and extremely dangerous to heat in the microwave. I am 7 months pregnant. Other than being INCREDIBLY carcinogenic, this method of heating food is potentially harmful to developing fetuses. I had been going in 3 x's per week for the last month and a half or so, to satisfy my one pregnancy craving: SWEETS. Also, I had asked prior to make sure they did not heat the cake in plastic and I was told \"no\". We had also asked the owner what was in the red velvet cake (or at least what was not in the cake), being that certain sweeteners are contraindicated in pregnancy. We were told she could not disclose specific ingredients and the employees told us conflicting things regarding what was not in the cake, so we were already leery. The cake did taste pretty good for being \"low calorie\" so I am bummed I won't be able to enjoy it anymore. It's a lot of trouble for a cake, yes, but where the problem lies is all of the health claims are obliterated by the toxic and carcinogenic result of microwaving it in dangerous plastic. Also, never returned a smile to good paying customers that frequented her restaurant several times per week. The rest of the staff were always friendly.
