I really wanted to love this place. Cute atmosphere outside was beautiful and that's where the good part ends. About 5 tables were full tonight, we waited 10 minutes to be seated and told she'd be back with silverware. Server arrived another 10 minutes later we placed our orders and appetizer of "buffalo bites" arrived, still no silverware and empty glasses. The buffalo bites were identical to Tyson frozen bites. Not worth $10. Still hopeful, we sat patiently with empty glasses and no dinner for 30 minutes while the table sat long after us had their dinner served. The server for the other table made no attempt to assist while I was asking for water she served only her table. I had to find our server and tell him that we just wanted the check to which he replied the food had been ready but he didn't want to rush it out? Sooo it's been sitting there? Yes please bring it. Black and blue flat bread was bread doused in blue cheese and undercooked dough. I ordered roasted chicken $16... it was a chicken breast split and grilled, cold, dry and with a flavor of burnt char though the inside was pink. Sounds crazy I know. Hopefully this isn't the norm here though we won't be back to find out.

Dang! This was just ok! I heard different things from different ppl about why they didn't like this place, but I still needed to see for myself. The food was ok, nothing to write about. My take away was more about the service. I was to meet a large party (13 adults 2 kids) here for a business dinner. Me and one other person arrived first to get seating for the rest of our party. Of course they wouldn't seat us without the rest of the group but I was sure to ask for seating for 15. We waited roughly 20-25 mins for the remainder of the group to arrive and be seated, to have them now tell us that they can only put 10 together and the other 5 would have to sit at a booth across the isle from us. That kinda pissed me off because they had 30 minutes to tell me that my party wasn't going to be able to fit together. I was asked about boosters and high chairs when I first arrived but I was not told that they only seat up to 10. We tried to make that work for a few minutes but then was constantly reprimanded for being in the isle. Or shall I say trying to conduct our meeting from across the isle. We eventually packed in tight enough to fit us all around the 2 tables they pushed together and ordered. They charge 1.50 for Tea and Lemonade refill by the way, in the south! One person didn't order, another ate in his lap and one person didn't get their food until 10 mins after all the other orders came out. I'm pretty reasonable and understanding so I know what an off day looks like and this could have been it, but that party was too large and ticket too big for those kind of mistakes. Just Saying!

The restaurant was superb!!! Our experience from even before we walked in. Delayed in Atlanta traffic, we called in to let them now we were running late and after arriving late they still sat us upon arrival. Taylor, our server was impeccable!!! Food was delicious and the only issue was that they changed the kind of fries served. They're 'fast food' fries now instead of the yummy ones they used to have .

Stood at the takeout cash register for 10 minutes while 7 workers stood around chatting. I tried several times to get someone's attention. It was pathetic. Then they messed up the order. Typically the supervisor is the one to blame - bad hiring, bad management.

I'm a sucker for egg sandwiches and these are by far my favorite in the world! I know that's a big statement, but if we lived anywhere close to Alberta, we would be there three or four times a week. (We live in Beaverton so it's a bit of a trek). Regardless, we still make it out 1-2 times a month for the past 4 years. The ladies that own Big Egg are super friendly and very appreciative of their support. They know how to cook a good egg sandwich. I do agree that the wait is a bit much, but I don't think that deserves less than 4 stars.

Love this place. A true italian restaurant with lots of charm and the food to make it one of the best. Everything here is great. The stuffed peppers app is my favorite.

"IT'S SO YUMMY!" I feel like Agnes hugging her ever so fluffy unicorn. But seriously, the food at Montien is exceptionally good. We went with the traditional menu (ask for the blue menu!), craving for some authenticlicious thai food. From appetizers to main dishes, from the savory flavor to the sauce, pretty much everything was spot-on and not far from perfection. First came the shrimp cake appetizer (tod-mun-goong), deep fried shrimp cake full of tenderness, rich in flavor, slightly spicy. The usual greasiness and driness associated with deep fried food is non-existent here. The cucumber sauce was refreshing and complements the flavor of the shrimp cake. It's unbelievable how so many different flavors can come together so well. I've had the dish at a few other places and this is by far superior. Then came along the steamed mussels, I love mussels and probably had them in every way possible. The Thai version is very different, half shelled steamed mussels with lots of sliced vegetables (peppers, onions, basil, lemongrass) with minimal seasoning. The lemon chili sauce on the side gives the mussels a citrusy zing in the flavor. The blend of the scent of herbs, veggies, mussels and the masterfully constructed lemon sauce makes a dish such a pleasure to eat. I only had a sip of the Tom Yum soup, the flavor is exquisitely balanced and so tasty. We ordered two main dishes - sort of family style with rice, the pork intestine and roasted duck. I love eating weird parts on an animal - most likely genetically predisposed since I'm Asian, the pork intestine is SUPERB. For those who never ventured into that territory, the outside of the pork intestine is chewy and have a certain strength to it while the inside is tender, making it a perfect ingredient for having different textures of meat all in one dish. The Thai chili sauce they used for cooking this dish was so so so good. Usually with a heavy sauce, the tastiness of the dishes decreases because my taste buds gets overwhelmed with the flavor. But not for this! Eating this dish with rice was the perfect combination, the meat is thoroughly being marinated by the sauce and the flavor never becomes too overwhelming. Just perfect. The duck, probably one of the less enjoyable of the evening, is roasted and made with curry sauce. The sauce is sweet and has a strong coconut flavor, the duck meat itself is slightly too tender for me, I think it lost its texture because it was roasted too well. I'm not a huge fan of sweet curry, so it's probably unfair for me to judge this dish. The location was nice, right in the heart of Boston next to the theater district, the interior decor is bright, cozy and clean. I think the price is reasonable for the great quality. Really very excellent! Tip: If you check in here on Foursquare, you can unlock a special of 15% discount if you pay with cash.

33 is one of my favourite breweries in Vancouver. Very central location and close to where I work! Ocean and Sunshine are my go-to beers! If you aren't much of a beer lover.. they do offer 33 cider! Which is pretty tasty also! :)

This company is all about taking your money. My husband purchased 3 massages for my birthday. I was informed today that my membership expired therefore the massages my husband bought for me have also expired. I am furious that our money was wasted with this company!

Not gonna lie, I'm a little bit of an anti-Newbury St. food snob. Mostly because I've had most of my best meals far from Newbury, and the majority of my bad ones...right here. Sitting next to tourists with 15 Louis Vuitton bags and 5 layers of cologne. And that's just the guys. But alas, my friends and I had a long night working down the street at Cove (check out the nouveau Starbucks alternative when you can), and the symptoms of oncoming hangry were hitting us both pretty hard. We decided to pop in to Beantown Pho and Grill (strangest name ever. Are you selling pho or barbeque?), and got some kimchi fried rice. I'm not sure why the best kimchi fried rice I've had in Boston came from a place that has a menu consisting of mostly Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, but I'm not gonna question it. That dish was GOOD. And I didn't even have to trip over a Louis Vuitton bag and land on a guy who smelled like bad cologne. #WINNING

Hidden gem that deserves to continue growing in clientele. Pound for pound, this is one of the best deals on a high-quality massage I've ever received and the three friends I've referred all agree. Don't sleep on it, whether you're getting a full body massage or the $40 foot massage (which is basically just a foot-focused body massage clothed and in the most comfortable chair you'll ever sit in), you're going to leave here relaxed and satisfied. Yes, their English isn't great, like some folks here have mentioned, but every person I've spoken to there is really kind and dedicated to customer service. I've noticed a trend among reviewers who only go to places with coupons that they're never satisfied with the service or the place, which amuses me because their critical nature is usually rivaled only by their stinginess.

This restaurant has stellar customer service. I was waiting on a friend to meet up and walk around the Boston square and really needed to use the restroom. I wasn't even planning on eating here, this restaurant just happens to be on the corner of a busy street. It was packed for brunch, and I was honest with the hostess. "I really need to use the restroom, and I will probably just sit at the bar to wait for my friend." Rather than say "restrooms are for customers only," she ushered me inside from the cold and told me any available seat at the bar was fair game. I sat at the bar and mulled over the menu for awhile. I was very hesitant to order anything, as I literally had a lunch appointment elsewhere. However, many guests were nursing Bloody Mary's, that looked amazing. However, I don't like ones that are too spicy, and I saw they made their own mix in house. The bartender was not able to disclose the specific amount of hot sauce used in the drink, but he did make me a deal - That if I did not like my drink, he wouldn't charge me for it! I did end up paying for it because it was delicious and getting a small bowl of lobster bisque on the side. I definitely felt very welcome and taken care of here, and would recommend it as a good place for anyone visiting.

So, the fish was great... super fresh, but the overall experience wasn't great. Service was so so and a bit slow (one server, one sushi chef, one kitchen chef). The fish really was good and fresh, but rolls didn't have a ton of flavor and their Chirashi was actually a bit small for normal ones. The miso doesn't have tofu, but has mushrooms, it was very good but if you are looking for the normal miso, this wont do it. Interior is a bit dingy... place is getting old.

So my wife and I went here for our Anniversary and since it was magical dining month I figured this will be a good opportunity to come here. First of all the atmosphere and look is excellent. It has some rustic charm combined with cozy atmosphere. The look outside to the patio was nice too. The watermelon appetizer was unique and tasty. However our Waldorf salad tasted surprise surprise salad. The server was raving about the dressing but it was meh in my opinion. The entree of chicken and salmon was good, not excellent not exquisite. It reminded me of red lobster salmon and chili's chicken. The service was very pleasant but extraordinarily slow. I saw another customer's food at the heat lamp for solid 10 minutes while 2 other servers were just chatting. To conclude: atmosphere was excellent, food was good, service could be better for the price they charge

I had the opposite experience of these other reviewers. Our compressor fan motor died during the first heat wave of the Spring. Our home warranty service contracts with Ron's Heating. When I called Ron he was slammed but still found the time to stop by the house the same day (at 7pm) and diagnose the issue. Needed parts were ordered and the motor replaced within 48 hours. Ron was very nice and professional, both on the phone and in person. I can't explain the other reviews. I can say that most folks will treat you the same way that you treat them. Thanks Ron for the fantastic service!

We came to this Starbucks for breakfast, we went to the drive-through and spoke. At first they could not understand us, not a big deal. We got our food, but they have forgotten the cream cheese bagel, that's ok. But what got me the most was the to-go bags and no utensil to use, especially when you get a bagel to eat. How would I spread the cream cheese?

The food is good! The atmosphere is good too. They also have a nice bar area. The night I had dinner over there I actually thought about coming back there to have some drinks at the bar... The reason I'm giving 3 stars is actually because that night I gave my car to their valet and my car came back with a big scratch! The restaurant manager was helpful, but the valet company was a nightmare. The valet drivers are very young and apparently have no experience with certain cars. Because of that I haven't gone back there.

DOLLAR OYSTERS all day. and 50 CENT oysters during happy hour. They only source one kind of dollar oyster here. They're good if you can get past the small pieces of shell you might find as you slurp up. They have a decent variety of beer and wine, which go well with the oysters and probably make up their profits from the oysters. The service is hit or miss but last time was TERRIBLE. The gentleman (maybe the owner?) seating people gave us a grunt before pointing to us that oysters and beer were at the bar only. It lalso took about 40 minutes for them to shuck 12 oysters and we were pretty much done with our beers before they came out. SO... Come for cheap oysters. Don't expect much. You might get frustrated... but dollar oysters.

Very cool place! Kept very clean, and looks cute. Coffee is really good, and they used frozen coffee for ice in my macchiato to keep from watering it down as it melts! Was very quiet when I went, good place for homework!

If you have heart problems, issues with vertigo or a fear of heights, this may not be the place for you. But if you are okay with all of that, enter young man or lady! The movies can be down right scary in how huge the screen is and your body experiences all of the movement on the screen. There are usually some really good science lessons tied in with the subject of whatever film is playing. Fun time, a little freaky.

Five of the fivest stars!! Vanilla pancakes w Nutella- husband said they're better than his recipe. A small order was enough to feed my teenager, with some left for the husband. There was a very nice bowl of berries and fruit on the side. El Rueben- omg shut my mouth! The brisket was perfect, and the bread itself was wonderfully toasted and seasoned. Hands down the best tasting Rueben I've had. Chicken taco- the meat was tender and grilled with a great spice blend. The taco was packed full, and the rustic corn tortillas held up well. Best of all- the service. These people are cheerful and made the whole experience a joy. Thank you!!!!!

SERVICE wasn't attentive. We went on a Tuesday night and it was surprisingly busy. Server forgot to serve us bread basket. So the butter was just a waste on the table. Had to ask for bread later. Thanks god the quality of food was great. Beautiful scenery I would want to host my wedding here.

Great new Greek spot. Had the Greek salad with the pork and dressing on the side. The pork is super tasty. The house dressing is also delicious. I'll be coming back for sure. My fiancé had the same but with the lamb. I don't usually like lamb (too gamey) but this was good. Fairly heavily seasoned - in a good way.

For chicken and waffles, I've had this place and Roscoe's in Long Beach, CA. This place wins. The chicken was nice and moist, the waffle had nice crunchy shell and soft inside. The server was extremely friendly. If they had this place in the bay, open late, Denny's would get no kind of play.

My now-husband and I fell in love over a glass of wine, under the stars, in the middle of nowhere so we knew we wanted the same for our wedding day. Driftwood Estate Winery gave us all that and more with its totally unassuming, open air pavilion that just happens to look out into the most gorgeous, rolling Texas hills covered in grape vines. And since it's in the middle of nowhere, as soon as the sun goes down, you can see every star in the sky. The best part - they'd only had five weddings there since they opened so it was a completely blank slate. Dana is such a sweetheart and went out of her way to accommodate us however she could. We still email on a regular basis as we're lifetime members of their wine club (register for a membership - you'll get a hefty discount on the rental fee). I could go on and on about this place and the beautiful people who work there (Dana, Mario, Ruth, Gary, etc). Bottom line: Beautiful views, delicious reds, awesome staff, and a great place to host an event.

You know a place is good if you come back less than a week from your first experience. As continued from my previous review, I didn't quite find the two guys that would have made the restaurant's name mathematically accurate. However, at the counter there was a friendly female employee that announced that we were here so that the workers in the back could start our fries. (I love the fact that their fries are made fresh.) She asked if we would like a cup of water while we waited, genuinely caring that we were comfortable while our fries were frying. Ten minutes later, and my boyfriend was munching on his cheeseburger, and I was working on the kosher hot dog with crispy pickles and warm, delicious onions all slipped between a hot bun and juicy sausage. I'm thinking their logo should be "Five Guys, Consistent And Wise." Consistent in the flavor and crispy fries, one order of which my boyfriend and I split. Wise in knowning what it takes to make the customer happy.

Solid fast casual spot. It's like a Korean Chipotle. You create your own bowl with white rice, fried rice, or sushi rice. You get two scoops of protein, unlimited toppings and sauce. There are certain toppings that you can pay extra for. The employees were very friendly and did a good job explaining the concept and all of the choices.

Cool decor and speakeasy style entrance. You might miss it if you don't pay attention. I thought it was a smaller restaurant but it's actually huge! different rooms, a lot of fun to walk through. Almost like an old house/office building style building.. Unique. My fav of the night was the cauliflower mussels soup, just heaven in your mouth.. YUMMY!!!!! AHHHH. the oxtail appetizer was pretty good too, with really good salad on the side. AHHHHH!!! The entrees was just okay for me: Duck Confit (never have great experiences with them, I don't know why I order them!) and pork. I will have to go back to try their seafood and burger plates, looked delicious. Something I didn't like was the coffee.. LOL. sounds funny but it's not. When you don't have good coffee next to a good dessert, it's so sad. I ordered decaf first and it came really diluted, almost tasted like half coffee half water. So i had to order reg coffee which was a little better but not good. Sigh. Please order some better coffee for the restaurant!! But all in all, a great dining experience. Great service and attentive waiters. I liked the attention to detail and politeness of all the servers. Rare to find one of those these days. We will be back :)

I am a fan of their coffee. Owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. Met the owner during one of their coffee tasting offering at an Experience Columbus event. It is refreshing to see an independent coffee shop where the owner and baristas are passionate about their product, and these fellas should be. Prime location downtown on Gay St.

Absolutely the best esthetician in the North Shore ! Jessica is professional an finds solutions to cure common skin problems. Her chemical peels are the best ! She uses a line called Image Skin Care, I read the back of the label and its all natural. She has great packages that are affordable. New Beauty is owned by her so the level of integrity and client care feels more personal unlike corporate companies. I highly recommend Jessica for all your skin care needs !

This was one of the best experiences I have had with any doctor of any kind in a long time. So patient and explanatory of what I was going to need and WHY. First time ever going to an Optometrists and the sales that they push are necessary to prevent you from having to spend more money in the long run. Thanks for getting me set up guys! I'll be back this week to pick up my first set of glasses.

Jalisco is a nice place to grab some TexMex. Very fairly priced and they give you a good portion of food. I have tried the fajitas, mole enchiladas, al pastor tacos, and various combo plates. I have never had bad food from them or walked away thinking I just got shorted. Their sauces are good and I would recommend asking for the green sauce. One warning this place can get packed on popular date nights and the weekend. On those days they have mariachi music in the restaurant. These musicians are usually very good, but the music is so loud that you can barely have a conversation. If this is something that bothers your or if you actually want to talk to your date try somewhere else. If eating a ton, drinking cheap, and walking away happy is your plan give them a try.

Everytime i come in into this place their doing something wrong more and more. Like i come in here every month just because i could wash my hair before and after a haircut. Today i came in the wait was so long i was about to leave. But then i said whatever I stayed. When i was getting my haircut by this woman ( i wont say names) but she literally didn't give a crap about my haircut. I like it short on sides and leave some hair on top so i could style it. Well guess what she used the machine on top of my head and it came out super short. I didn't even had a chance to stop her. . Hello i picked MVP where i pay 25$ for a haircut and with everything that comes with it. Like take your time with your costumers. Thinking about switching places to a different barber. Sorry not sorry but changes should be made. Customer is ALWAYS RIGHT.

The Hilt Contains: One dark bar, mostly weak drinks and an odd old fashioned, pool table, movie playing on the bar tv, pinball, delicious pita and hummus. Do you NEED another trendy dive bar? For some reason, yeah, you probably do. This one at least has a pretty tasty greek menu, which is at the very least different than most bars. The beers on tap are average, and they do some seasonal rotations. I don't know, it's probably a cool neighborhood bar for the Albertaphiles, but I would much rather be at The Rum Club, or Produce Row. If not for the food, which is really pretty good considering its a bar, this place would be good ONLY as a local bar. If you're wanting to be a part of Alberta, then make the trip, otherwise you might as well be anywhere else in Portland. The staff was pretty cool, and fast about drinks. The bar was also not unclean at all, It's a good environment, just nothing to bring me back too soon unless I am literally walking past it and want a gyro.

Husband and daughter's fave is the pumpkin curry, mine is the garlic duck- both very flavorful dishes. The service is always outstanding- polite and responsive. We've been going here for two years, and they're very consistent. Our favorite Thai restaurant in Vancouver!

Love, love, LOVE this place! I was on a first name basis with half the staff upon my first visit. This place is always packed, they valet your car for you and despite being busy they get you in immediately. I adore Andy and would never go to anyone else for my nails and the spa pedicure with the massage chairs and 2 flat screens help me zone out after a bad day. There are a million nail places between here and my house and I will happily drive the extra distance to be treated like family which is what you'll find here!

Run from all BSC's! If all the other scathing reviews don't deter you, then read mine: I wrote the below email, and attached these pictures to the club's email address (HeretoHelp@tsiclubs.com) on February 24 - received no response. Today is March 17, I'm at the gym and things are even more out of order than a month ago. There are additional broken machines. Here's what I wrote in my email a month ago: Hi, I currently go to the Watertown club, which has its own problems with filthy bathrooms and broken machines, but I'm moving to Dorchester so I've been occasionally going to the Dorchester club, and the attached pictures are what I've seen the 4 times I've been in. I'm moving to Dorchester in 2 weeks and that BSC location will be my gym, but, if I don't start seeing equipment that can actually be used, I'm going to cancel. And based on the horrible Yelp reviews, I expect this to be a battle. I mean, I am floored at how awful the reviews are...how are you addressing these things? Or, why aren't you?

It is weird pay before eating! So before you eat here you will not happy with this. Like we are thieves not paying the bill. The food is better than last owner, but pay before eating no one will enjoy for that. Not recommended!

Great airport! I was susprised at how nice it was, but I haven't been to very many airports in my life... and it't been a long time since I've traveled. We got a car rental through Avis and everything was very fast and efficient. When we were returning home, there was a long line for security, so we were recommended to go through security at a different gate. The line was SO MUCH shorter. The short walk was definitly worth it.

I'm working in Orlando just for the summer, and this place is quickly becoming my home away from home. I'm eating a piece of spinach and brie quiche right now that's unbelievably delicious. This is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle, relax, and pretend you're in Paris. Oh by the way, they serve wine and have several beers on tap.

Called Travis at Amer Chim Sweeps to inspect our chimney which we use frequently. Upon first visual inspection he noticed what they call stage 3 creosote - which can be very dangerous. Set up an appointment for a very expensive relining process. When the date arrived and before they started work, they had a specialist with them who had a special camera (normally not part of a visual inspection) which they snaked down the chimney. They found they could take care of it with a special wash instead. This saved us several thousand dollars. They could have just as easily gone ahead with the more expensive lining process - but they did the extra check. Very ethical and responsible on their part and they made the whole process very transparent to us. We will now use them for annual inspections - which we should have been doing all along.

Just returned our car after a 3 week fall color tour. Terrance was great--gave us really helpful advice about transponders for the toll roads and told us about an app, WAZE, that helped us navigate in unfamiliar territory. The location is a bit odd, just a couple of desks in a auto repair facility, but they got us a clean, new vehicle that was waiting for us. They are a small operation which may account for some of the problems reported by other reviewers. Bottom-line: We saved about $300 on our extended rental, compared to the airport site, even considering the taxi fares.

Deeeeeeeelicious. I'm convinced every 4R's is consistently delicious. Being up in Orlando where the chain originated, I got to hear how they got started. It didn't surprise me that it involved giving out free ice cream. Down in South Florida I tried it for the first time after the shooting at MSD that shook our community. They opened on Sunday and donated all proceeds to the families. I think generosity is in their roots and it's hard not to applaud that. That and the fact that, sure, while we're technically in the South, Florida isn't exactly a BBQ Mecca, but they make some great BBQ. I love their burnt ends and pulled pork.

Alright, I've learned a powerful lesson about using the mobile Yelp client to draft reviews. When I post them they don't necessarily reflect what I meant to say. This one was an example of that. Let me try again: Wow. Good food. Packed BECAUSE IT IS VERY GOOD. LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT TO EAT HERE AT LUNCH. Salads were awesome. Not very gluten friendly BASED ON THE BLANK LOOK ON THE PERSON'S FACE WHEN I ASKED FOR GF OPTIONS. .Be very careful because quite a few had gluten items in them. I SURE WISH THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A GLUTEN FREE MENU. THAT BEING SAID, THE SALAD THAT I HAD WAS EXCELLENT. I struggled with giving this a three or a four star. What dropped it to a three is that I had to pay $7 for parking because there were NO hourly parking spots around and NO free parking. That makes for a very expensive lunch if you are going downtown just to eat there. I expect SPECTACULAR if I have to pay that for parking at lunch. I WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE THIS SPOT FOR LUNCH IF I WAS DOWNTOWN ALREADY. I'VE CHANGED THIS REVIEW TO A FOUR STAR BECAUSE THE MANAGER CARED ENOUGH TO REACH OUT TO ME TO RESPOND TO MY GF ISSUES WAY OVERSHADOWED THE PARKING MESS THAT IS DOWNTOWN. NICE TO KNOW THAT THEY CARE WHAT THE CUSTOMERS THINK.

I cracked the screen on my Samsung Galaxy S4, and needed a replacement. Everything the other reviewers say is true. Daniel is knowledgable, professional, and goes the extra mile to make sure that he does a good job. I had an appointment time; he had told me it would take about an hour, and it was just under that. Their prices are much lower than their competitors, and their customer service is outstanding. Not only did I get the screen repaired, but Daniel also put on a new screen protector for free, and then gave me the second one from the package to use later. Having had such a bad experience with one of their competitors the day before just heightened the contrast between the two companies. I will definitely be back -- for all my computer needs -- and will be recommending them to friends and clients alike. When you find a gem of a place like this, there is no reason ever to go anywhere else.

I've been going here since they opened! Such amazing staff I love all of them and miss the ones that went off to school or went off to other states to open their own! I go here sad to admit but at least once a day if not twice and coffee is consistently amazing! Staff knows what I'm going to order and usually has it ready by the time I get to window or counter... staff is consistently super kind, up beat and genuine (not fake like some coffee shops) Truly best coffee shop I've ever been to!

We are so disappointed! Stopped by for a drink and after 30 minutes of waiting for just our drinks we left. We will give it one more stop but the tables on both sides of us stated they were surprised at the lack of service. Wish we had seem a manager to help us.

This is by far our favorite Thai restaurant if not our favorite restaurant period. I am not able to eat fish products so they prepare my beef special with no oyster or fish sauce. My wife orders something different nearly every time there and she has loved everything. The service could not be better. Food is always fresh and prepared perfectly. Their infused alcohol drinks are incredible. Highly recommended.

They have amazing sandwiches and great desserts. If you're a cheesecake fan then this is the place to go! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the long wait. Charlie definitely needs to hire more help or needs help with his online order flow as I've ordered online and I still had to wait an extra 30 mins for my food to be ready.

As a Christmas gift, my friend took me to Castagna Restaurant for the winter tasting menu and wine pairing. You could make reservations online with ease--the only problem is that when you change your reservation, their systems doesn't cancel the original reservation and keep you on multiple days. Good thing, they call to confirm the day of the reservation. We ended up going on a Thursday night at 7:30pm. The cafe side looked busy, but the restaurant was pretty empty. There was one group dining when we arrived and another party come later. The hostess/waitress was very friendly, she offered to take our jackets and led us to our table. She did a wonderful job at describing all the dishes with the wine pairings. Extremely accommodating and did not judge us for eating three servings of bread, which was a mistake because it made us uncomfortably full. Before I get to the end, let me take you through our northwest gastronomy experience.... Beignet: Not the best beignet and I can't recall the distinct flavors in it. Fried well, not greasy. Ora king salmon: Fresh, fresh, fresh. The carrots prepared two-ways was creative. I love the contrasting crunch and pickled carrots with the soft bite of salmon. Kampachi: The fish was more mild than the salmon and had a clean taste. It was accompanied by turnips with a dusting of taro powder over a wasabi mousse. The taro and wasabi was not overwhelming that you get the turnip flavor. Satsuma: It looks like an egg yolk in a wine glass. After I shot it, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a citrusy, sweet gelee. Dungeness crab, burnt grapefruit, butter: I am allergic to crab so I couldn't have this dish but they substituted it for an onion terrarium with smoked oil. Oh my goodness, that was probably my favorite dish of the evening. I am not a huge fan of onion...the combination of the sweetness worked well with the mildly smoked richness of the oil droplet. The texture of the custard base was very lovely. Foie gras, apple, smoked hazelnut: I cringed when I saw Foie Gras on the menu. I love liver, but I've never warmed up to Foie Gras--it has a metallic oily taste to it that reminds me of a traumatizing experience involving monk fish liver. I was surprised that oilness was masked by the tartness of the apple and hazelnut. Oh, I guess I do like Foie Gras when prepared correctly. Sturgeon finished over charcoal: I had a different sauce, must have shellfish in the original. Well-cooked piece of sturgeon, the charred onion and acidic sauce that garnished the dish complemented it well. Local wild mushrooms, buckwheat: Aerated mushroom?? Interesting. It was such a unique presentation and the mushroom shined through. Beef zabuton, black olive, Tokyo turnips: Perfectly cooked piece of meat, tender and succulent. The black garlic paste made this whole dish. My second favourite dish of the meal, I just want a giant platter of this. Huckleberry, salted butter tuile, chamomile: In general, I enjoy fruit sorbets. It was such a refreshing finish to the meal. Goat's milk, grapefruit, lime, hazelnut: There's a second dessert? The frozen goat's milk the covered the top of the dish could have been more flavorful but it was light. Unfortunately, I couldn't appreciate it because I could barely take another bite. Petit Fours: The meal was finished with a small piece of crispy, light chocolate sandwich. The bread had a fried texture but soft in the middle served with a bacon lardo spread. It was definitely easy to eat about three of them. I can't recall all the wines that went with the dish, however, it all complimented very well. The food changes the taste of the wines and elevated it. The whole meal last about three hours from start to finish, at one point...two hours had gone by and we didn't even noticed. I don't know if it is having so many courses well spread out or the company that made time just fly. By 10:30pm, we were in a food coma. Everything was extremely delicious.

Once I came here and their milk steamer wasn't working so I couldn't get my chai latte so I ended up not getting anything. Came again today to meet someone for coffee. And I just am not impressed. $3 for a small mint chocolate brownie?? The prices are very high for everything here and they are cash only which I always hate. The inside is very small, seating for only a few people and it gets hot quickly. My iced mocha was good, but not the best. The staff has always been very friendly though. Maybe I'll try food here sometime, but it just seems so expensive I'm not sure it would be worth it. I do really hate giving local coffee shops low ratings, but I just honestly would never make a point to come back here.

Phenominal in concept and fantastic is taste. Fast fresh Mediterranean. The grain bowl has a few wonderfully unique options. Lentils and spicy lentils were yummy. All the spreads, the add on's make the bowl delicious. Top of that the drink selection is awesome. Awesome teas and mai be root natural sodas. Love this place.

A small, warm Indian restaurant that is sure to become one of my favourite local haunts. The samosas were very tasty, served with sweet chili and coriander sauces. The seasoning and spices were excellent; the only negative was the pastry could have been flakier. The Bombay Biryani was excellent, being spicy enough to add some heat, but not enough for someone who doesn't like spicy food. The raita (yoghurt with cucumber and mint -- I think) served with the Biryani accompanied it very nicely, adding some coolness along with the spice. The Aloo Gobi was full of flavour and delicious, with the vegetables being perfectly cooked; there was also the welcome addition of multigrain naan to sop up all the tasty sauces left on the plate. In both cases with the mains, the portions were sized perfectly, with enough to fill but not overload. The only oddity was the addition of a paltry salad of tiny romain pieces with sweet chili salad dressing, which while delicious, was very small and a little out of place. Finally, the rice pudding was very good, complete with cardamom seeds, but pistachios would have given a welcome crunch and texture. Service was excellent (as to be expected in such a small, intimate setting), with the welcome suggestion of some delicious, frequently-refilled chai tea (for $2!) to warm up on a rainy day. I will definitely be returning to Atithi.

Super service, super busy, and a very distinctive menu. I liked it very much. The Garlic soy wings are sooooo good. Better prepared (crispy-crunchy on the outside, juicy inside) than any other place i have tried.They come with a spicy slaw and sweet radish. There is a hot option for the wings. Next time. Would love to try more of the salads and sushi and oysters and other things next time. Just got their alcohol license, and sapporo seemsed a safe bet. Will look at wines next time. On this thursday if arriving after 6:30, we'd have waited for a table. We will visit again very soon.

So the food itself wasn't... bad. It was on the underside of mediocre, but nothing necessarily to complain about. I had the carnitas with pipian verde on the side, and he had the alambre (beef skewers). I've never had pipian before and I'd say it's worth trying - my husband said that it tasted more like the verde sauce used for chicarrones rather than the pipian he grew up with. The rice was unexpected... saturated in butter with peas & carrots. My husband's dinner came on the skewer, which he had thought nothing of, until our server very awkwardly decided that she was going to remove it as he had already started eating. A pepper flipped off of his plate when she did so & she asked if he still wanted it............... ? The menu at first glance looks pretty authentic, but I can easily think of places I've had better food & experiences at.

Hubbs and I frequent Stanford's HH in the Clackamas Promenade. This review is for location specific. 2.5 stars maybe. We were greeted by the very mousy host, walked into the bar, sat a clean table and started looking over the menu. Hubs already knew that he wanted the chicken tenders and some bluecheese bbq sauce and a Stella. I on the other hand was telling a story so I didn't know what I wanted yet (naturally). Waitress came back a few seconds later (finishing up my story) and out of pressure I ordered an iced tea, she asked me: "Well do you know what you want?" I'm sorry am I at taco-bell? Do you want chips with that attitude? -_- Ordered a few things off the HH menu, 2 things came out correctly, my plate came out wrong, then I waited for a few minutes for the right thing to come out. We had to ask multiple times for sauces, and water (which we never got) which is why the rating is low. The kicker is that it wasn't even busy.

Yummy. Another five stars for these guys. The owners are very nice and, while I'm sure this depends on the time of day and number of people dining, gave us fantastic service that was beyond the price we paid. The momos are great. We ordered the steamed dumplings four ways, both chicken and beef and both plain and in their butter chicken sauce. The beef is the way to go. The chicken is very mild and I think the extra depth of flavor the beef gives is lovely. The real star of what we ordered was the Chicken and Potato chilis. Indochinese "chili" is not a soup or anything like chili would suggest. The sauce is like a tangy sweet jalfrezi sauce with Szechuan peppercorns for a bit of "numbing" taste that the cuisine of that area is known for. The potato version seems a little funny since it is French fries covered in a sauce with peppers... basically a Himalayan Poutine. I was skeptical as I expected roasted or boiled potatoes but it really does work. Overall this is a neat spot that is very reasonably priced. The owners are friendly. I'll certainly be back and this is now part of my rotation of places to show to visItors who want to get to know the perimeter.

Wow, just, wow! *No puzzle spoilers in this review!* Incredibly thoughtful clues, high production set, mechanical elements and a dedicated team to ensure you get the highest quality experience. These guys know their sh*t! They traveled around in Europe, Asia (where escape rooms originated) and to the Harry Potter world to research the successes and applied it to their own business model. You won't find yourself frustrated because they've set you up in a dimly lit room with a flimsy flashlight, the challenges are in actual puzzle solving rather being discouraged by a shoddy set-up. They only have one room right now, but I CANNOT wait until a second one gets added. This is a MUST TRY!

My wife was in the mood for some kimchi tonight and since we were right up the street, we chose to return to Kimchi Korean Restaurant for dinner tonight. When we walked in, the dining room was empty and that seemed odd considering how good lunch was my last visit. Well after about 10 minutes the dining room began to fill up but it did give me a chance to take some pictures of the place. My wife chose the Ramen and a side of kimchi and I ordered the Jeyuk-Bokkeum. The Ramen was good and the portion was nice but the presentation could have used a little work. The Jeyuk-Bokkeum was exceptional. It came with several sides and I enjoyed all of them. The kimchi, bean sprouts and Cucumbers were my favorites. One of my fellow foodies asked if I knew of a place that offers Kimchi Fried Rice and since I did not see it on the menu I asked the server if they offered it. I was informed that they do and to just request it. I also noticed as I was leaving that they offer some nice sized portions of kimchi to go. Until I perfect the art of making kimchi, I may have to pick up a jar from there on occasion... lol A Florida Foodie

This park was gorgeous! Arrived for my friends small wedding ceremony, and was just blown away. I couldn't imagine a more beautiful place for her to have been married! The rose garden is absolutely lovely. Be warned though--there are no bathroom facilities (that I could find) and the porter potty onsite was nasty.

This is probably my favorite steakhouse in town. By that I mean that this is just like any other Wal-Mart in America, dirty and cluttered and full of really the finest customers around, and by that I mean the most American and tweaked out. Legit saw some merchandise that someone had just ripped out of the box and stolen. Online order and pickup was a great deal on a part for my dishwasher, but the pickup clerk insisted on running her mouth off about my sleeping baby, promptly waking him up. Always feels like I'm taking my life in my hands every time I go here because f***heads in the parking lot try to run me over. So I try not to go here, but sometimes the promise of cheap deals on sweatshop-made crap is too much and I go anyway. Just hope I don't get mowed down by an a**hat driver or shanked.

Words cannot express how much I enjoy Belly. I go there for lunch every weekend and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Food: Belly offers a variety of fresh, in-house bagels, muffins, scones, and made to order sandwiches and panini. The bagels are extraordinary and the best I've had in Atlanta. I've never had any of their cookies, but the cupcakes are mediocre - I've had better at the Atlanta Cupcake Factory down the street. Service: You order at the front counter and then the staff calls your name to come pick up the order. Overall, the staff is generally friendly and efficient. Atmosphere: Belly is modeled after an old time general store. The shelves are lined with various bulk food items that can be purchased, as well as old mason jars and various other knickknacks. Cost: Fairly inexpensive ($1-$5). You definitely get more than what you pay for. Other: Seating is at long, shared, tables - so if you get antsy about sitting with other customers, take your order to go!

DO NOT GO HERE! I MADE THE MISTAKE! SHADY SHADY SHADY LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS! They will shotgun your credit out and you will get lots of inquiries on your credit report, Will give you numbers but not details on the said number. Lied to me about what my credit score was to convince me to bring a co signer (I received the credit score in the mail afterwards) They will not fess up to any issues on the trucks unless you call them out (even other reviewers reveal this) The same line you will here pitched here that cracks me up is "We can replace the vehicles what we cannot replace is the customer" *If I can save one person from wasting there time here my job is done. I have bought over 50 used cars and the Shady tactics stood out like a sore thumb! Drove 4 hours to look at a truck and was shocked at how big of a pile of sh*t it was! Test drove it anyway and the front end was garbage! Ball joints shot, so yes it was used and cheap. Lets get to the the shady sales tactics Shady#1 When I arrived the truck was backed in where you could only see the drivers side and out of the initial good lighting (it was dark) Shady #2 When I was about to test drive the 1 decent person on the lot jumped into pull it out while the other salesman was yelling at him to let me pull it out. Well he didn't listen and pulled it out for me...and then I see why. The truck was BEAT to sh*t and he didn't want me to notice all the damage I saw by the guy pulling it out of the shadows Shady#3 He repeatedly told me jokingly to keep it under a 100 while I was leaving the lot...why you may ask because the front end was shot and the truck drove like crap Shady#4 I while I was test driving the first pos the sales guy directed me through a residential area where I couldn't get the truck up to speed. On the second POS I drove that was still nicer then truck #1 he directed me out to the freeway to get me up to speed. So they where trying to hide all the mechanical issues with truck #1 Shady#5 After returning from truck #1 test drive I inspected the trucks front end and called them out on the control arms rubbing the inside of over sized tire and the clunking ball joint/s. Now this guy has the nerve to come back and tell me this.... I checked with my mechanic (who I was told inspected this truck already and said it was great) and "I will admit, it is the balljoints" and then tells me they knew about it before I drove it and was planning on disclosing this regardless of if I noticed it! HAHAHA yea right! Shady#6 Then when I tell him the truck is to beat up for me he starts pitching a warranty to compensate for you can buy that they do not tell you is said warranty will not cover pre existing issues Shady#7 Super high pressure trying to sell me a truck for 3 grand higher then they have it advertised for on craigslist. I told them multiple times I would think about it and come back in the morning ( which I was actually considering ) and then they brought out the old man! The old man is a D*ck and even more aggressive to the point he flat out p*ssed me off! These guys will pout like lil children if you do not fall for the BS sales tactics! And get this. This old guy askes if I like the truck #2. I respond yes I did except the breaks felt touchy. (I meant to say shakey because the rotors where warped to h*ll) and he says well yea they are brand new brakes. I laughed and said no touchy like they are warped and he then agrees with me because its old truck So first they are brand new and when I clarify with what I meant to say now all the sudden yea they are like that because its a older truck, LOL what a joke Every truck (4 to be exact ) that they showed me had check engine lights on There are some other small signs of shady I will not bore you with butI will warn you this place is a joke. Here is what you will get told by the sale guys "We can replace the vehicles what we cannot replace is the customer" HAHAHAHA they sound like they are reading from a script! There is one guy there from Hawaii and seems like decent guy. the rest are laughable at best went to another used lot and was shocked at the level of honesty and customer service I received. Bought vehicle within 30 minutes of being on the lot!

I want you to imagine yourself carrying a cursed ring through Middle Earth, expected to, against all odds, deliver this ancient evil into the fires of Mt. Doom deep within the inner recesses of Mordor. In such a situation, ones anxiety and dread could only be alleviated by the delicious fish at Hawthorne's Fish House. In the event that Sauron's all-seeing eye catches you in its gaze, fear not, because the delicious craft beer offered by this establishment is enough to put your mind at ease. Did you lose your mithril chainmail vest and are now being pursued by an army of orcs? Relax. The blackened fish tacos are not only delicious but affordable, especially at the very fair happy hour prices. As you can tell, their beer is also affordable, as I've drank as much as a thirsty hobbit on his eleventieth birthday celebration.

The service was very slow. It took 10 minutes for someone to come over and get our drink order. Then the food took 40 minutes to come out, just a couple of burgers. When it did the kitchen staff brought it out and our waitress was nowhere to be seen. The burgers were overlooks and 1 of the places of fries was only lukewarm. We brought our concerns to the manager and he gave us a discount and desert to apologize. I would have given 1 star but because our complaints were handled professionally, and the dessert was pretty good I'll give it a 3.

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Not too expensive and the food is always spot-on: tender lamb, fragrant sauces. The lamb kebabs are delicious and their lamb korma is one of my favorites; the shahi paneer is delicious as well.

Me and the "ladies of Supply Chain" ventured out for Friday lunch, and boy, was I glad we did. First star - they had my fav hamachi kama (off the menu). the skin was a tad over salted but the meat was fresh, moist, and tasty. Second star - my friend Shirley ordered the saba, but oh shucks, they brought sake. damn. guess we'll have to polish off some tasty grilled salmon. Third star - my chirashi was one of the best I've ever had. Fresh yellowtail, seared and fresh tuna, salmon (2 types), all delicious. At about this time I start making satisfied sound effects. Fourth star - their wasabi is not so fine, more coarse, and more flavorful. mind bombs all around. Fifth Star (and final) - The saba, when it finally arrived, was the best I've had in years. Not overly salty, or oily. I knew it was good when Shirley immediately commented after the first bite - "get some of this NOW" This place spanks Zuma and MF, I'll be back. Domo Arigato

Just adore Stonewood. I know its a chain, but it feels like a mom and pop. The wait staff is awesome and quite frankly, I would stack their steaks up against Ruth's Chris any day. Fair prices, great drinks, fantastic menu....we just love it. The only drawback (be prepared) is the parking. Its not in the best location, but worth it! Love me some Stonewood!

It has been a long time since I've played laser tag and man, it has come A LONG way. Hard Knocks is located in a commercial building and I had a little bit of trouble finding it (tiny signs) but once inside I was thoroughly impressed. Not only do they offer two rooms for "combat", they offer state of the art guns (as heavy as the real thing) and amazing props once inside. You're asked to provide a gamer tag (mine is Keens) and you're instructed to watch a video on how the game is played. An added bonus for the guys is that the "regulators" are blonds wearing tight clothing. I had to practically lift my boyfriends jaw off the ground after having watched it several times. I'm not sure how regular game time is played because I went there for a birthday party. We got about an hour of game play with each game lasting 10 minutes. The games consisted of team 1 vs. team 2, a special birthday game, a game about defusing a bomb, and then a free for all. The levels are really done well. One is the office in which you run around cubicles, fake plants, etc. I'm almost convinced the furniture was there previously but I still found it neat. The second one is in a warehouse setting with random boxes and such. One thing I would recommend is wearing athletic clothing (duh?) because you will sweat, especially if you're playing along side a bunch of 10 year olds. The main lobby is pretty interesting if you're not into playing laser tag or you're waiting on your kids to finish playing. They offer xbox areas with all the games and also a bunch of PCs if you're more of a PC gamer. The only complaint that I'd have is with the staff. We came with a group of 7 and apparently the game had ended. However, I was in an awesome hiding spot I couldn't hear them call it. In previous levels they used a microphone but I guess this time they just called it out. What ended up happening? I was wondering around the level thinking we were still playing... pretty embarrassing since there are TVs in the main lobby. I guess it's hard to count 7 people? Or notice that there's a vest/gun missing from the rack? Oh well, it didn't ruin the fun. Would I go back? Absolutely! But probably with people my own age - 10 year olds are just way too good at this!

I ate here 2 weeks a go. After a recommendation from a friend. He said the food was great and the portions huge! That was all I needed. It is hard to come by good Asian food in South Austin. As a transplant from NYC I'm picky with ny Asian food. I went safe and had the General Tso chicken. It was good lots if rice and chicken. For about $10 you can probably get 2 meals out if it depending on how hungry you are. We dined in and had a good experience. I can't wait to try the other menu items.

After being out of the country for 3 months, I wanted to try out some of the new dining options in the city. I decided on Whiskey Bird for an evening to catch up with friends. We had two tables of four cause we couldn't get a table for eight for the evening. It worked out OK cause the tables were right next to each other. The dining area seemed smaller than I remember from visits to previous establishments in this location. The decor was very simple. I like the variety on the menu and the number of small dish options. My table decided to order various yakitoris and share them so that we could try out more. I tried the crispy meatball (OK, but nothing special), sweet potato (not a big like), sticky soy chicken (OK again), and pork belly (wish it was cooked a bit longer). I got the shaved brussels salad - this was HUGE and I had to share. I was not a big fan of the dressing on this so was very happy to share. I would not order this again. Then I also got chicken and butter burger sliders. I liked the chicken over the burger. Many of us noted how there was not much truffle in this though it was noted on the menu description. Our service was great, however, and is always appreciated. I would give them a bump up to 3.5 stars if I could. Prices were excellent for the quality and amount of the food. You can park along the street or in the lot next door. Many of my friends parked across the street with no issue, as well. All in all, I may revisit. You won't lose an arm and a leg for a nice dinner.

Worst pedicure I have ever had. Don't go to Star Nails. 5 minutes each foot. I felt the woman that did my feet wished I would just disappear. Unexpectedly Awful experience. It really hurt my feelings. I got apologized to though. So that's something.

We are staying at boulder for New Years and Since it was snowing today and it was freezing cold my friends and I decided to order food from next door. We all ordered soup, salad and sandwiches. This place doesn't deliver but you can use door dash to get your food at your door. I ordered a large chicken quinoa soup and Greek salad and my husband ordered Thai butter-squash soup with grilled chicken sandwich. When we got the food we were all surprised because the portions were so small and the food was so overpriced. We wee all hungry after finishing our food. My salad came with a small container of hummus and after the first bite I put it aside since it was so bland. The salad was so basic and the soup was just ok. Unfortunately we were all disappointed with our orders

After shopping for the car I wanted for a few months I started speaking with Lee. He answered every question I could possibly ask, staying up late to easy my mind of any concerns I had and he assured me he would get me the best deal possible. After corresponding with him for about two weeks I felt comfortable enough to head to the dealership. I live in Oak Harbor Washington which is a nice drive from Portland but I took a chance and drove down. I was more than pleased with the results, Lee came through on every promise he made me and then some. As a military member I find dealerships trying to take advantage a lot, not here they were beyond fair and gave me a great deal. The staff was awesome very friendly and treats you like family. I am more than happy with my new Forester sport and will definitely be keeping my business here for many years to come. I will recommend everyone to check them out
