it's cold and rainy and you are feeling a bit english/irish.... nothing but a solid half and half (or black and tan if you must) will do. this is our favorite option for such an emergency.
the beers here are expertly poured and they have a great selection of english/irish beers.
food? yeah, they have that too. the spicy fried green beans are good! I also sampled the single piece fish/chips and the fish piece was huge, crispy fried batter and moist flaky fish inside. the fries may not be authentic english "chips" but they were crispy outside and fluffy inside. we ordered a second portion of fries but they were not as fresh as the first.
this is a good option to slow down and relax. comfy seating areas and enough room for the kids (we had five kids in our party).
it's also fun to come for the HAMB bi weekly monday night get together. for you non car folks HAMB= hokey ass message board from the jalopy journal folks (hot rods) | 12/15/2011 21:12 | 4 |
Crazy awesome cocktails and wine options at Spoke! Also the small plates were great / we loved the fluke, bean dip, brussels sprouts and steak tartare. Oh even the olive oil cake for dessert was amazing! But #1 I will remember the cocktail: smoke gets in your eyes | hickory smoked cynar, aged rum, dell'erborista, egg white. One of my favorite cocktails I've ever had anywhere in my life. I'll be back to sip on this again. | 3/15/2019 13:14 | 5 |
It is unfortunate that the food trucks are unable to open on time, and that the servers are not friendly to customers. On two different occasions, I arrived about 10-15 minutes after their website said that the truck would be open. The first time this happened, I knocked on the window and a man made brief eye contact with me, shrugged, and turned away. The second time, when I knocked on the window, a man opened the door to the truck and told me "I'll open when I'm ready." If you are in the mood for Mexican food and the Austin experience, go to Torchy's instead. They food is just as good, and they open on time and appreciate your business. | 2/22/2015 23:01 | 1 |
I am a chick-fil-a fan, but my first experience here was not the best. I ordered my meal and asked for 10(?) sauces, the manager said that they do not give sauces out unless it's for chicken nugget meals. I just moved to Orlando, and only have been to two other chick-fil-a's but was lost, because I thought you could get them for fries and to dip other items in. I offered to pay for them, but the manager said he'd give me two this time, but they only give them out for chicken nugget meals. He did end up dropping three more in the sack before I left which was nice, but I don't think I'll ask for them again here. | 2/7/2019 13:35 | 4 |
Virgin Mango Mojito with crystal boba is the best drink. This is the mix of mint or basil , lime ( I think), mango and some stuffs which I don't know but it tastes super good. If you try the first time, you should tell them to put less mint . That's my experience because I don't like mint and if it has too much mint, it will be difficult to drink. I think this is a good drink for vegan. I don't drink or eat dairy so this drink is perfect for me. Also, we can request to use soy milk to instead in regular milk and it tastes good too. Decoration are cute. The place is clean. The staffs are friendly and nice. Recommend this place. | 7/11/2017 9:22 | 5 |
This review is late, but I would be remiss if I did not share what a positive experience our home inspections (yep, that's plural!) have been with Tri-Value Consultants. My fiance and I are first-time homebuyers and we began our home search last spring (2016) in the Marlborough area. A co-worker recommended Tri-Value and I couldn't be happier that we chose them as our home inspectors. Joe and Mike have been the only two people throughout the home buying process that I felt truly had OUR best interest at heart as buyers. They were always early, incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to uncover major issues on both houses we had accepted offers on (major structural issues on the first house and roof issues on the 2nd - both needed immediate attention) that would have cost us thousands of dollars to repair. Ultimately, after some second opinions, we ended up backing out of the first house and the sellers backed out of the second. Thanks to Joe and Mike, we were able to make fully educated decisions throughout the process.
I've read through some of the negative reviews on here, especially the ones complaining about all of the issues they point out...but is that not the point of a home inspector? It is their job to point out any issues they spot, however big or small, and trust me - they will not leave any stone unturned. Additionally, their level of detail was super helpful for my fiance and I. Given that we were first-time homebuyers, they took tons of time walking us through their findings and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. They really catered to us and made sure we had everything we needed - Joe even gave me his jacket to wear while we were out in the rain going over the outside of the house :)
Long story short, if you want to make a fully educated decision about purchasing a home, Joe and Mike are the absolute best. My fiance and I are back on the market and will DEFINITELY use Tri-Value again! | 4/10/2017 15:23 | 5 |
If you like hockey pucks this place is for you. Grabbed a few bagels to bring home to eat. Put them right in the freezer to help them stay fresh. Defrosted the everything bagel and it was just ok. Then had the plan bagel today and wow is it hard. Did not warm it up or toast it and hard like rock. Then I warmed it in the toaster oven and did not help much. Here are a few pictures as I'm not even sure it's a trip to try again. See the pictures and you can see they are over baked. I did get about 2-3 bites out of the bagel but that's it. | 8/12/2020 23:35 | 2 |
I took my cat here when he had a growth, they took a sample and blood work and sent it off to the lab.
In the meantime I went to another doctor , a friend recommended and he said it felt like cancer by feel and cats do not respond to treatment. Bring him back in when it time to put the cat under.
I Went to Oak Animal hospital to get results from the lab. It was cancer, The report said cats do not respond well to chemical chemo. ( I did not read the report till days later after I got it from them). i told them what the other vet said and they insisted that they had great success with it chemical chemo and encouraged me to treat the cat. You will see he will perk up and you may get 6 months to 2 year.
I was under alot of stress at the time for other things .So I left the cat there overnight on a Thursday night and for the weekend expecting them to treat it. Checked the next day and found nothing done. I was told that I had to pick up the chemo drugs! Any way came back with Friend who more knowledgeable about a cat treatment who started questioning the vet who was looking after my cat. He could not or did not know about certain drugs for treating the cat with cancer. At my frinds insistence we demanded a referal to the main Vancouver Animal hospital near HWY 1 and Willingdom area. We took my cat and all the medical documents x-rays and went.
We got there with my cat, I talked to the doctor there and a few hours later put my cat to sleep. I went back and demanded some of the money back for treating my cat for an unnecessary treatment. It was either that or I was going to the veterinarian board about these guys.
They had it in black in white on the lab report" cats do not respond well to chemo", yet they did not tell me that . They sold me the treatment in disregard of the lab report.
I do not recommend this place at all. | 3/29/2012 7:27 | 1 |
Took a group last night from our business Whole World Improv Theatre. I have to say that we had a blast!!! The folks working inside were scary and funny at times. We had a great group of people with us and went in two different groups. Loved that we got to drink a beer before going in. If you haven't been yet GO!!!!! | 10/22/2015 17:26 | 5 |
I ordered a Momma's Pancake Breakfast. It includes three pancakes but I requested to have served two. I ordered it with a blueberry sauce and I enjoyed the combination. I came with my two daughters, instead of ordering two kids meals I ordered a Momma's French Toast Breakfast and split it in two. They were more than satisfied. If you come on or after 10am be ready to wait in line. | 3/1/2020 13:13 | 5 |
Total incompetence. Needed to clean a sweater before a trip. Somehow Google reviews were positive which I question whether are true. Dropped off sweater on a Sat, went to pick it up on a Thurs and they couldn't find it and asked me to return another day. No way. So i started looking for the sweater myself and saw it in a pile of dirty clothes. It was never cleaned. Clueless, untrustworthy and disorganized. | 7/8/2016 1:08 | 1 |
When I first met with Dr. Dan Warner of Summit Chiropractic I was very impressed and found him to be extremely knowledgeable about medical issues. Within five minutes of talking with Dr. Dan, I learned more about posture and the spine than I have previously my whole life. Dr. Dan, as a UCF professor of future medical students, has a thirst for knowing everything there is to know about his profession and imparting that knowledge to his students and patients alike. I would recommend him. | 11/11/2016 20:58 | 5 |
Homemade goodness that'll warm you from the inside... perfect on a blustery day in the PNW. Such a huge variety on the menu of soups and sandwiches that changes daily. Their chicken noodle soup was better than grandma's. Besides the old standbys, you'll find some interesting offerings such as dill pickle and Hungarian mushroom. The soup portions vary from 8 ounce cup to take-home quart size. You will find everything from gluten-free to vegan. I will definitely go back... maybe today! | 3/19/2011 17:34 | 4 |
Third car I've had windows tinted on here. I really enjoy it every time and it's always great quality! Steve P helped me out today and was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Don't find many personable and smart people like that anymore! I'll return here with a 4th car for sure. | 6/10/2019 22:46 | 5 |
Went here on a Saturday to have a beer with my wife and watch the College World Series....I will be a repeat customer.
The menu is fantastic. It has a great variety and the food itself is very delicious. The servers are personable, attentive and the food service is very quick. Great beers (I tried 5 IPAs and they were all excellent).
3-4 TVs on, nice crowd and there's plenty of parking. The outside seating was pretty good and it's a nice view, in spite of what it looks like from the roadway. | 6/28/2018 17:57 | 5 |
Cool spot! Was in line down the street at another place that happened to be out of the smoked turkey I was seeking. Since I don't eat beef/pork, I looked this place up and walked on down. So glad I went.
It's bright and airy with a great corner location and seating in front outside. I believe for dinner the order setup is a little different but for lunch, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table.
After chatting with the friendly bartender, I got the turkey wrap lunch special with an order of fries. There was so much lettuce, I thought I'd miss the flavor of the meat but I was wrong. It was soooo flavorful it was bursting through the other ingredients. The fries were yummy and stayed hot in their metal container. I got a glass of frosé which was ok but couldn't compete with the wrap! I should've gotten one to go! | 3/27/2019 21:28 | 4 |
Wonderful! Get there early and you won't be sorry. They gave us free sausage wraps while we waited in line. BBQ was wonderful and completely worth the wait. | 7/5/2011 19:22 | 5 |
Horrible experience. I had an appointment and still had to wait $45 minutes. The girl spent an hour on my REGULAR manicure and it was messy. I'm pretty sure they don't even have an appointment system. I watched the owner take calls the entire time telling people she she was putting them in for appointments while doing a clients nails and not writing a single thing down | 10/21/2019 23:03 | 1 |
The atmosphere of this location was a lot of fun.
The one thing that fell flat for me was the Sangria. It was missing that wow factor for me. I think to make it better it needs to be homemade and use a bolder red wine.
The food was good. I enjoyed the rice bowl, and the chicken chimichanga. The Cheesy Steak Flautas was probably the most surprising dish of the night. It was one of those things I wasn't sure how I would like it, but it was well balanced and very good.
The Cookie Dough Flautas and the Churros with the chocolate dipping sauce were the perfect way to end the night.
Overall, it was a great night. I'm sure I will be back to this location again. | 2/28/2020 14:42 | 4 |
Pretty neat spot! Glad there is a ramen place near me. I appreciate the pictures of the menu but would like descriptions too. I got the T&C ramen. Not very traditional or what I'm used to, but hearty and healthy - lots of veggies and a nice broth. The noodles definitely remind me of top ramen but were good. I appreciated one of the workers making rounds to make sure everything was good for everyone. Prices are reasonable for thed portions for sure. Coming back! | 12/24/2017 0:08 | 4 |
A very interesting market, with everything from art and crafts to handmade goods and food trucks. Make no mistake, the clothing is a mecca of hippie gear, as is the jewelry. But there's some very interesting art, great baked goods, some produce, and the food trucks are worth the visit alone. Parking isnt too bad (use the lot on Randolph St). Its separated into three areas, so dont get fooled into thinking its only one. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! | 10/21/2012 21:04 | 4 |
Could have been better...has potential.
I ordered yellow curry with tofu;
the carrots, onion and peppers were undercooked, the tofu very overcooked (rubbery) and it smelled like smoke, so much so it was like being near ash...I could not eat it.
My husband ordered Phad Thailander which was okay but virtually no chicken (found one nugget).
Wontons were fabulous! Best I have had.
Mango/sticky rice was acceptable.
Our consensus is we won't be ordering from there again. | 7/21/2020 3:44 | 3 |
This place takes reservations but never holds them. We sat down and ordered an hour ago and we did not even get soup yet. They are prioritizing take out orders than the customers who are sitting in restaurant. Just go next door to China Pearl if you must get Chinese food. | 2/3/2019 0:28 | 1 |
Loved it. Great suggestion by the friendly waitress the soft shell crab was excellent.
The regular rolls were a little regular but definitely on the return to list when in downtown Austin. | 5/23/2016 13:27 | 5 |
Still the gold standard for steak in the PNW. Top notch service, fantastic atmosphere and perfect food. Could not ask for anything more. | 7/16/2013 23:18 | 5 |
This is the best food I have ever had at a restaurant anytime anywhere, as an Italian, I came in skeptical, I started with the 24 Month aged Prosciutto plate at this point I was thinking If i ever end up on Death Row this is what I will eat, until my main course came, which was Milk Fed Veal Limone, explosions of flavor, I would have licked the plate if I was at home. I then Moved on to my wifes Risotto, and this was just wow, in 33 years of being spoiled with my mothers and my Nona's Neapolitan cooking, I have never tasted a Risotto close to as good as the one I ate tonight. As experienced Industry People our service was engaging and flawless, the second we walked in the door we felt right at home!! Automatic 25% Tip. Best experience at a reasonable Price!!! Can't wait to go back!! Thank You Poor Italian!! | 10/23/2010 10:52 | 5 |
We wandered by Conrad's not knowing the space had yet again changed ownership. Conclusion: this time for the good! It's very good without being fancy; has lots to select from; and a comfortable atmosphere. We sat at the bar (My husband LOVED all the TV's;) earlier on a Sunday evening, and got great service from the bartenders, who were attentive without ever being one whit intrusive. I like that a lot. My husband had a nicely cooked piece of salmon (cooking it right is so rare,) on a salad; I had the chicken picatta. the bartender was careful to explain that it wasn't the usual style picatta (flattened out chicken,) so I gave it a try anyway. Quite good, pretty rich, but I am NOT complaining! We will definitely return. Now I know to get the steak tips! | 7/15/2015 21:20 | 4 |
I've only been here once, but I got the the general tso's chicken and fried rice and an egg roll. I believe it was some combo. It was ok. I've had better from places that you wouldn't expect to have good chinese food. The fried rice was...off. Dry, maybe. But something about it wasn't good. And it was bland too. I was expecting better. I don't think I'm going back. I'll continue my search for better chinese food. | 8/19/2013 5:20 | 2 |
Wow I am so appalled I am still in the parking lot and downloaded Yelp just to write this review.
I have been to Queens nails a few times after work because it's in the area and they stay open until 7pm which comes in handy for me.
I normally schedule my appointment around 5:30-5:45 because it's the earliest I can arrive from work and they have never had a problem taking me although I can tell they do rush me through and sometimes I have to sacrifice a pedicure to make time.
Despite being rushed; dip powder doesn't cover the whole nail, uneven electric filing, uneven shape, bubbles or lint in dip powder...I could go on...I ALWAYS tip more than 20% because I hope, wish, and pray they'll remember me and I'll get better service the next time.
They don't care. They are money hungry and will say or do anything for your money.
It's never been good but this was the absolute worst time I've ever been in there. It started off with removing my previous dip, because my nails are thinning it hurts when it's filed too much. She was filing very rough and when I winced, she would ask "oh does it hurt a little?" I would reply "yes they are getting really thin so could you be careful please?". She didn't care and kept roughly filing so I dealt with the pain...not very relaxing...
Anyway, I really wanted a frosted tip ombré look but got something sooooo different although I said many, many times "this is not what I wanted", "this is not what I asked for", "could you focus it on the tip, like an 'ombré tip'?". The only responses I got were "mhm" or complete silence. Additionally, because she was rushing so much my nail shaping is a hack job.
When the lady I initially told I wanted this style came over and asked about half way through "do you like it?" I said "not really, I think the ombré goes too high and that's not what I wanted" she literally didn't respond to what I was concerned about and went "well, you have very nice nail beds, they look fake!"
To make things better, as the place was wrapping up, a man who seemed to be the husbands/boyfriends of one of the workers came in and let out a really loud belch! I was so appalled I whipped my head around to glare at him and NO ONE APOLOGIZED. Like WHAT?! WHAT?!
I will absolutely attach a few pictures for you to see what I wanted vs. what I got. The ombré goes too high and it looks dumb because you can see where the actual tip of my nail ends...way lower. I understand the nails are much longer in the picture I provided, but do they go above the tip of her nail? 1/2 to ¾ of the way up her nail bed? I don't think so...
I still tipped over 20% because it's the holidays..I'm not a monster, just really pissed at the nail quality I have on my hands right now. They look like a joke.
On another note...if you're ever looking for a quiet, relaxing nail spa this is NOT IT! It's alwayssss a party in there with customers and technicians joking and laughing. Tonight, two customers bought in their own alcohol and made mixed drinks!!
I honestly am so upset with the service that was just provided that I chose to write this review. I've never felt like I had to inform the public of a bad decision I made by going somewhere that was obviously not professional but wow, I have never seen a nail place operate this way and I don't recommend it to anyone, EVER.
My advice: save your money or spend a little more for more professional service.
p.s. I'm the last person in there when I go and I have never seen them clean anything more than sweeping the floor. | 12/24/2019 1:18 | 1 |
Never enough staff to help on the floor or at checkout. Especially on the floor and the employees make that clear. The service and lack there of makes it clear. Winter park I used to go to and may return as they had reps there that were amazing and helpful and knowledgeable. | 11/28/2015 11:52 | 1 |
I always thought this airport had the best layout and best amenities of any domestic airport. Used to travel through here all the time, but not so much lately.
They have done some nice upgrades of the concourses. And as always, there are is a wonderful array of restaurant and shops. If you have a long layover this is the place to be! | 11/2/2018 14:17 | 4 |
This place is amazing. Authentic Mexican flavors. Staff is great and the margaritas are to die for!! Keep up the good work. | 9/13/2019 16:17 | 5 |
You want to know what Victoria's secret is???
She owns a diner. A diner that serves pancakes so delicious that you will never fit into the microscopic lingerie she peddles.
Victoria's Diner has only recently come into my life, since the advent of Nala, my little truck with the dent in the tailgate. A whole new world of breakfast possibilities has opened up, since I'm too lazy to get on the train to go to breakfast, but I will absolutely drive, semi-awake, un-showered to breakfast Mecca.
My Saturday/Sunday morning tradition has become to text Anouska B. to confirm that we're both awake, stumble down the hall, rub our eyes and blink at each other, then pile into Nala and off to Southie we go.
Victoria's Diner is conveniently located right on Mass Ave, by the South Bay plaza, and while it looks like your run of the mill, standard little diner, I assure you, it is much more than that.
After finding somewhere to park Nala, which can be a challenge, given the itsy-bitsy parking area behind Vickie's, we are always greeted with a warm smile and a 'hello' and seated right away. There are two dining rooms, so there is ample room for everyone, be you a party of two, or a party of six. Clean, cutely kitschy, simple without being shabby, you will feel comfortable here immediately.
Victoria's menu spans from Omelette-Ville, to French Toast-Town. And everything in between. Hash, oatmeal, pancakes, bagels, breakfast sandwiches. Anything you want, any way you want it, they got it. Or they will do it for you. Every member of the waitstaff is friendly and helpful. Oh, and they have mimosas!! A thousand internets to you, Vickie's.
A few of the all stars would be the pancakes- fluffy and delicious and exactly everything a diner pancake should be- the Nutella/banana french toast (which I got with strawberries instead because bananas are anathema to me), the Norwegian omelette (salmon, cream cheese, capers), and the Eggs and Cakes, which is two pancakes, two eggs any way, toast, and home fries. Oh LAWD are the home fries delicious.
I have found every plate that I have ever ordered to be ENORMOUS, so beware ordering everything the hunger devils bid you order. Fancy-schmancy these dishes may be not, but filling they most definitely are.
They tend to get a bit busier after 11:00 a.m., but that doesn't mean you will be forced to wait. I think the longest wait I've had was just the time it took for the waiter to peep at a table, grab two menus and seat us.
If you're looking for an upscale, pinkys-out brunch experience, head to Newbury Street or downtown. If you are looking for cozy, comfy, friendly, AFFORDABLE yummeh-ness beyond comparison, look no farther than this sweet, syrup-y little Mass Ave gem! | 10/17/2012 15:26 | 5 |
The food is undeniably delicious -- Every time I go, I want to order way more tacos than I can actually eat.
Yes, it's packed and hard to move around and the waitresses are going to run into your chair and it's loud, etc. etc. But, come on, you're in Buckhead at a taco place.
Know what you're getting into, and then get into it. I'm always surprised at how the place is packed out and yet we have no trouble getting a table. The margs are super sweet so be prepared for that.
I took my most hard-to-please critic here last time she was in town -- my mother. She loves food that is so full of flavor it practically punches you in the mouth. She was over the top delighted with Tin Lizzy's. So am I! | 7/19/2012 23:02 | 5 |
I was in Portland for less than 24 hours and a friend I recommended that I try out their hot chocolate. I had to go to 2 different ones because the one on Alder closed at 6pm. Doh!
This place had no parking nearby so I walked in as my boyfriend circled around the area. I got the dark hot chocolate and the dark mayan hot chocolate. The mayan version has cinnamon, almond, and vanilla (I think) added to it.
We both loved the Mayan one the best. Why can't there be one of these in the Bay Area???
If you're ever in Portland, visit this place! | 10/29/2012 16:45 | 5 |
So the first massage I had, at the Marblehead location, was simply terrible and left me in severe pain. Elaine, the owner, called and offered a free massage done by her in order to make up for the previous situation.
My massage from Elaine was incredible! That is how a massage should be. Before I went in I wasn't even able to bend down or do much moving at all without hurting my lower back. Immediately after the massage I tested and attempted to stretch my hamstrings - I could! I can feel my muscles are still a little tight in the lower back but I know I can at least work on them now with stretching and yoga.
I thought Elaine's quick response and suggestion to rectify the situation from before was completely wonderful and her massage made it all the better. Thank you, Elaine! | 5/28/2015 18:17 | 5 |
I had waited until the last possible moment to get a haircut, and had a BIG professional dinner that evening. While at the nail salon down the street, Jennifer referred me to Brittany. I called, but no answer. So, I drove by. Brittany was with a client, but Mariah was available. She immediately got me in the chair, we talked through what I needed, and she got to work. She was fantastic!! She even drew in Priscilla who gave guidance as well. The entire team was phenomenal!! They even tacked on a discount! Thank you, ladies!! I will be back!! | 3/22/2017 13:56 | 5 |
Decent car wash on this side of town. Cheapest wash $5, free vacuum, score. | 4/12/2014 1:46 | 4 |
Awesome company! When I told them it was an emergency (our pool was losing almost an inch a day) they came to my house in less than 24 hours. They located not one but three leaks and repaired all of them in just a few hours. I am no longer filling my pool every other day and watching my water bill increase every month. Aaron's Leak Detection is the best! I highly recommend you call them first if you are having trouble with potential pool/spa leaks. | 5/2/2017 18:46 | 5 |
Yakisoba noodles with tofu - AMAZING. Cheap and good amount of food for the $$. Gotta love that.
There's a lot of vegetarian options and even vegan. I've been coming here for a couple years and the flavor is still always bangin'. I don't order the curry much - I got some soggy eggplant one time and never ordered it again. Try out the pineapple fried rice, yakisoba or pad thai. | 11/6/2010 0:28 | 4 |
Best place to watch Sports in Boston. Period. END OF STORY. Try the Irish Breakfast, Steak Tips, the Food is great and not expensive. This is Soccer Central. Come in for all Liverpool, Chelsea, Manure & the Mighty Glasgow Celtic games live. Great Craic, great music. Bar staff is amazing, professional & very friendly. Best bartenders in Boston. Just wish the Man United fans would watch their games somewhere else, they're not big on the deodorant. Banshee is THE place to go, best in Boston. | 10/23/2012 4:54 | 5 |
It's always a treat to come to Mingo... great food, fantastic service and friendly staff make this a favorite Beaverton restaurant. With the pandemic in full-force, Mingo offers a safe environment due to their large area and also the excellent outdoor seating. Extensive wine and cocktail menu and Fresh ingredients, creative take on Italian dishes make it hard to choose just one item from each menu... party on and share! I highly recommend Mingo if you are up to getting out of the house and/or celebrating a special occasion. | 7/7/2020 2:53 | 5 |
Horrible, I'm a native to Boston and getting married.
I wanted to get a traditional Chinese red dress and we asked the store manager for different sizes to try on.
Store Manager has the audacity to say: "Are you planning to buy today? If not, I am very busy so I will not pull size for you. When you are planning on buy it, just come back."
I'm a native and I get this rude service, I can't imagine what they would do to rip of tourists.
Do not go there, spent your money elsewhere. | 10/28/2014 15:51 | 1 |
Greg Cohen sold me and my husband, an elegant VW CC last week. I love it. Greg was extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. He followed through with all of his promises, answered all my questions, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not be more pleased. He took care of everything too - sticker, insurance, etc. A great experience! THANK YOU Greg!
And our mechanic for years - Guy. The best ever. | 4/29/2015 0:03 | 5 |
This place is fantastic. The unit we are in is quiet, private, and has a great view of a nice little greenbelt with squirrels and cardinals that our dog likes to protect us from. All maintenance and other requests have been fixed within 24 hours and they are always helpful and kind. You can walk to restaurants, a spa, coffee shop, fitness places, a dine-in theater, and tons more along a sidewalk from the back gate, and I feel like that is rare in this part of town! You're only 25 mins from downtown, and yet so close to opportunities to be at the lake, in nature, etc. Very dog friendly. There was a ton of dog poop lying around when we moved in, but the dog poop situation seems to be getting better and they've been working to fix it. When friends from other complexes visit, they are also surprised at how affordable the apartment is, for how nice it is! We are glad we live here. | 12/20/2019 16:40 | 5 |
In a short time, Pok Pok became one of the country's most recognized and decorated restaurants, its (non-Thai) chef readily known by name. And deservedly, as Andy Ricker's passion for Thai food translates to a menu that pays homage to this vibrant cuisine. Happily for me, his first venture out of Portland is to my hometown Brooklyn, but I begin my Pok Pok experience in Portland.
After a preview courtesy of Whiskey Soda Lounge, we arrived the next evening for dinner. Pok Pok operates out of a Ricker's former house on a residential block, with ramshackle extensions growing all over, strung with colorful lights, meant to evoke a casual street food scene in Thailand. The interior is quite a bit sleeker, but remains simple, vaguely diner-like. Water at the table are flavored with Pandanus leaf, served in tin cups.
Pok Pok serves lunch from 11 AM - 2:30 PM, late lunch 2:30 PM - 5 PM, then dinner 5 PM - 10 PM. The menus are not totally distinct, with much crossover, worth a look to decide when to make the trip. Wait times here are legendary, but as with most restaurants, it probably depends on day of week and arrival time. Late lunch was very quiet, and at 5 PM, we were the only people in the low-slung downstairs dining room. Another indoor dining room upstairs, plus covered outdoor seating. When we departed, it was mayhem outside.
At first glance, the menu looks intimidating. Dishes go by their romanized Thai names, probably incomprehensible to most people. Add a long description under each and it looks more like a page out of a newspaper than a menu. But get back to the description to find a comprehensive list of ingredients. Don't miss the comments at the end; some useful and interesting stuff. The dedication to Thai food is clear from the menu alone, made manifest by the attempt to educate the diner and bring them into the fold.
Dishes are for sharing, and worthwhile to choose from different sections of the menu (e.g., grill, curries, noodle dishes, salads). The famed chicken wings come deep-fried and smothered in a sugar/fish sauce mix, made spicy by request. Do they live up to their considerable hype? Loved the salty-sweet-heat flavor and crunchy exterior but have had better, juicier wings. Verdict: definitely worth trying.
Another specialty, and a classic Thai dish, is green papaya salad, available with ground salted black crab mixed in. This one was a heat wave, and Pok Pok doesn't hold back much. The papaya was limp, but all else popped with flavor elements. One of the best papaya salads I've enjoyed in the US.
The laap pet issan was a gorgeous mess of fried duck, liver, and skin, flavored with lemongrass, plentiful herbs and shallots, toasted rice powder, lime juice, fish sauce, with a steady heat. Interesting, lots going on, but loved it less than I hoped to, the flavors and textures didn't quite come together.
Finished with khao soi, a Northern Thai curry noodle soup that my dining partners parsed in detail, contrasting with Thailand versions. Lacking the point of comparison, I enjoyed the springy flat noodles and subtle curry flavor of the broth, but found the broth too oily to drink much of. The pile of crispy noodles on top seemed like overkill, but possibly I didn't know what to do with them (soak them in the broth?).
There's plenty of beverage options to accompany the lively food. Extensive whiskey list, Asian-leaning beers, a handful of wines, various teas and coffees, plus cocktails liberally using housemade drinking vinegars. The vinegars are offered in lots of flavors and can be ordered mixed with soda water for serving. I tried celery, subtle and just slightly tart and sweet. Naam krachiap (iced hibiscus) was also easy on sweet, mildly floral.
Having yet to visit Thailand, I can count only a handful of Thai restaurants in the US with execution and flavors that thrilled me. Pok Pok is one of them. At its best, the food we sampled displayed the complex intensity that attracts me to Thai food. I did not try enough for a better opinion, but there's no question I'd return to Pok Pok again. Of course, the Brooklyn version is a lot closer, but that review is for another day. | 12/28/2012 5:09 | 4 |
Hubby and I ate here around 2am after The Magic Kingdom closed. It was on a weekday and they weren't very busy; only a couple of other tables were occupied by customers.
Our server was extremely nice and attentive. She made sure our drinks were filled at all times.
We knew what we wanted and didn't even have to look at a menu to order. We were so exhausted, but hungry. We just wanted to eat and get to our hotel so we could sleep. Our order came out quickly. Hubby had no complaints about his meal. He ordered some type of sandwich and hash browns... no, I don't recall what kind of sandwich... but he'll be writing his own review, so you can read about it when he does. I ordered three eggs over-medium with white toast and grits. The only complaint I have is about the eggs. When I ordered them, I specifically asked our server to convey to the cook that I wanted the whites cooked completely on both sides with my yolks completely runny. Two of the yolks were semi-runny and the other was almost completely cooked. She offered to have them cooked again and normally I would have accepted; however, I was so tired I declined. As I mentioned, I really just wanted to eat and go to bed.
The parking lot is well-lit and I felt perfectly safe. The restaurant was clean.
I'm sure we'll return in the future, but I will make sure the cook understands how to cook my eggs properly next time. | 6/16/2014 7:28 | 3 |
We just dined here this past weekend. I won't go into detail, but thank you Albert for such a wonderful experience! The place is incredibly quaint and the wait staff was extremely attentive. We frequent Mt Dora often and this was surprisingly our first time dining here. The sauce in the escargot? Why can't I use emoticons on here? It's the only way I would be fully able describe how awesome it was. We will definitely be back! | 7/6/2016 4:13 | 5 |
I remodeled my main bathroom but left in the old cast iron tub which had a couple of chips and rust spots. Surface solutions was recommended by friends. They did an excellent job and cleaned up very well when done. I highly recommend them. | 4/7/2020 0:15 | 5 |
Bad ass chow; hard to type or talk with my hands and mouth full and awesome food flying all of the place.
Great deal cool place, and 16 ounce Modelo's in a very cool freezer.
What else are you looking for? | 5/24/2014 16:05 | 5 |
We had the spring rolls and sesame balls. Both were delicious! But the best part about this place is the owner. We were only there for a quick take out order, but he still took the time to explain his and his wife's experience as restauranteurs. He even lead us towards the back of the restaurant to show a progression photo of the building we were standing in. The good energy of the family who owns and runs this little restaurant is definitely felt, and it makes the experience that much better! | 9/1/2013 4:50 | 5 |
Today, I came to the gym around 2pm. I was doing my usual workout routine. I had been approached by the staff 2 times within a 5 minute period. They keep telling me to put my mask on when I've been doing just that. They keep checking up on me and one of them even came to stare at me while I was working on a machine. I was the only Chinese looking person in the area I was working out at and I felt constantly harassed. I can't believe this happened today and I'm going to warn some of my fellow peers. With all the racism going on in the country right now, I don't want to add more fuel to the fire. I hope the staff in this gym can get their act together and keep their feelings toward Asian people in check. There are some great people working here, but there's a few that definitely goes out of their way to seek problems with people. | 10/7/2020 19:23 | 1 |
Man alive! This place is fantastic! I stopped in with a small group for dumpling week, but we had other food too. This tapas style Indian food was a welcome break from the buffets where I might usually go for Indian food, but I still got to have variety. There's a great deal more northern Indian fishes here than most restaurants, also. It's busy and loud, in a fun and lively sort of way, which added to the experience. | 2/3/2015 7:06 | 5 |
Coffee tasted good and was $2.70 for a regular drip coffee. Parking is limited, but that's not the store's fault. Staff was friendly and helpful. They have coffee tastings twice a week, which I participated in during my visit. Glad I checked here out. | 7/28/2016 19:36 | 5 |
Solid place for dim sum in this neighbourhood. There aren't too many other options close by. You may not even have noticed that there is a restaurant here. The menu is fairly extensive and prices are reasonable. It's not too busy in here for weekday lunches. Portions are decent too. Ordering is done on the 'mark-your-own-card' system, which I don't mind using at all, especially when there is a big group. They even have the elusive ox penis soup. | 5/3/2017 18:45 | 4 |
Cute little spot that is next to Seminole Soccer Complex . Great food, amazing service and homestyle venue was just perfect. | 11/10/2018 18:26 | 5 |
I bought a King Size recliner for my disabled husband. The chair was great, but did not work for him. The mechanism was too stiff and he was unable to get out of the chair. I talked to the managers about returning it. They said three days was the window for return time. But they said if I brought the chair in they would take a look at it. Also, I was going to upgrade to a "lift" recliner.
They went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. They refunded the full amount for the original chair and delivered the power lift chair a couple of days later.
Kudos to this team. Their customer service was AWESOME!!! | 9/26/2017 20:06 | 5 |
I've come here a hand full of times but I've only got the fish chips. It was always good until the last time my fried were over done and the service wasn't very good. The hostess was sitting while using her phone and had sunglasses on. It just didn't seem professional. I haven't been back since but that's really because of the fries. | 11/24/2015 4:43 | 3 |
Came in while waiting for ramen. Was pleasantly surprised when we ordered a few apps. They're very professional and high quality. Service was just a tad slow but nothing too bad. Over we had a good time and good food. | 2/18/2019 1:17 | 4 |
If I could give this business less than 1 star I would. I have been arguing with Groupon customer service to remove their offers from the Groupon web site! Read my review of my experience with them in March | 5/2/2014 14:43 | 1 |
great experience . professional pain free. dr scott was wonderful. he was patient made sure i was comfortable. i will be getting my braces done here as well. im just so pleased. shout out to my dawg ulyses, thanks for being professional , and attentive :) .
check them out yall, they took me with no appointment, yes i had to wait a few but it was def worth it. | 10/16/2018 20:02 | 5 |
Great pizza and salad! Try "The Buckhead". Our server Nodia was awesome too. Definitely a good pizza place to visit if you're in the Buckhead area. | 8/14/2015 0:07 | 5 |
A donut from Sesame, by any other name, is a Dunkin Donut. I grew up on the east coast and Dunkin Donuts and they are the standard to which all other donuts must compare.
The story I heard was that this once was a dunkin that was franchised, and the company wanted to switch suppliers, but the owner didn't want to degrade the donuts so he broke the franchise and turned it into Sesame donuts.
This is probably why these donuts are the best in all of Portland and the surrounding areas. The chocolate kreme filled was my favorite as a kid and is still a rare indulgence when I just need some sugar-based comfort. Their old-fashioned is the best around and the donuts are always fresh.
Avoid that other tourist place and definitely make the trek out to Sesame for a real, honest to goodness donut. | 9/19/2012 16:25 | 5 |
Came here twice but got to taste three different noodle soups. I have to say, they tasted GOOD! let's start with the pho. It was flavorful and a good size for the price of $7.50 (large). I mean, I know it might look smaller than Pho Van or so, but flavorwise it surely surpasses many other places. We also had their Mi Vit Tiem and Phnom Penh noodles (dry version) and they were delcious!! I have to give them credit for keeping up with the necessary sides, such as a good variety of veggies and pickled papaya for the duck soup. Overall, I hope they keep up the good work. | 8/16/2013 20:28 | 3 |
Let me start by saying that I am DEATHLY afraid of the dentist after bad experiences as a kid. I still can't say I love going, but Dr. Bolen's office makes it far less painful! I appreciate that she always explains everything she does and goes over her exam and radiograph findings with me. She always answers all of my questions and doesn't talk to me like I'm stupid. Her staff is always very warm, friendly, and organized. Overall very satisfied with all of my experiences here! | 5/10/2014 18:16 | 5 |
First review, and it's pretty horrible. NEVER rent a car from Dollar/Thrifty. One person at the counter, one at the booth. Counter lady sends customers to the booth where no one is being helped because the guy doesn't seem to know what he is doing. He is literally running back and forth and seems like he is texting to figure out what to do. Horrible, horrible experience. | 7/28/2018 6:01 | 1 |
One of my favorite spots to go to after a long night of work. The food here is excellent! I recommend the wings or the Zinger Mountain Melt! They have great daily drink specials, so it's a good place to wind down or to meet friends. My only complaint ever is the service. While the staff is mostly friendly, the time of service leaves a bit to be desired. This is a great place on game day (any game day!) since they have so many tvs and always have a variety of games on! | 4/24/2011 0:51 | 4 |
Checked out Modern on a busy Saturday afternoon. Yeah, there was a line, but it moved pretty fast. If it is your first time there (and there is a line) they start asking you what your order is before you can see the case of goodies. All of the treats looked delicious. Tried the chocolate covered almond biscotti, which was good. Not amazing. Found a table and ordered a cappuccino (after reading a review that said the cappuccino is amazing). It was more like a latte, very disappointed. Maybe it depends on which employee is making it, but it was basically warm milk. For the price, and the line Modern wasn't worth it. | 8/21/2013 20:36 | 2 |
California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort is my all-time favorite restaurant within the Disney Resort area. Their staff is attentive, the food is great, and they have an unparalleled view of Magic Kingdom's Wishes fireworks show. Their best dish of all is the Fillet of Beef; a perfectly grilled steak with a flavorful teriyaki bbq marinade sauce, served with Tillamook mashed potatoes and wonderfully crisp in-season greens. | 9/12/2012 5:36 | 5 |
When I don't feel like driving out to Portland for some sushi, I go here. It's always consistent and the sushi is fresh. Orders come with miso and a salad with yummy dressing that is already almost worth going to try.
The joint is pretty small and can get pretty busy during lunch hour so plan to arrive closer to opening or you may need to hit the second wave. Also, Toshi works alone. Sometimes he has someone helping with rolls but for that reason the service is slower but nothing I wouldn't wait again for. | 5/21/2014 22:46 | 4 |
The best thing about MDT is the Diagnosis process. While doctors are guessing and ordering expensive MRI's, this clinic has an incredible method of simply diagnosing what the problem is, and what to do about it. They are like detectives, determined to figure out the answer.
They have ingenious techniques to help you exercise the injured area without causing more pain. And they encourage you to do the exercises yourself at home, which speeds up your recovery and greatly reduces how many office visits you need.
Recommend. | 6/20/2012 6:19 | 5 |
Went once in 2006 and once in 2007. The difference a year can make. The venue added these giant, somewhat invasive, tv's showing the concert and on occasion the crowd. The place is not Madison Square Garden, it seems a bit unnecessary. Nevertheless, the sound system was good, the bar fixed my drink when I didn't like it (my fault, not theirs) and it is centerally located to a decent part of town. The area (Granville) reminds me loads of San Francisco's Market St, near the Warfield. There was an occasional bum. One in particular got about 2 inches away from my face and started to scream at me, as I told him in a calm assertive (like Cesar Milan) told him to get away from me, he then proceeded to walk away as if nothing had happened. I wasn't shaken up, but my friends were scared shitless. | 8/7/2009 7:15 | 4 |
I want to give this cute little shop more stars, yet jiminy cricket (my conscious) won't let me.
The oven-roasted chicken sandwich and peppercorn turkey sandwich are excellent (though the chicken could do with the same balsamic reduction the turkey gets - tad dry). It's just they're small sandwiches for $8. More's the pity.
I must say my eye was drawn to their giant bread pudding for only $2.65, but I couldn't bring myself to spend more here.
It's a very cute place with fun French music playing and a splendid view of the common though. | 5/28/2011 15:26 | 3 |
This is a review for my takeout experience. My friends and I wanted to give this new restaurant a try, but was overall disappointed with our UberEats order. They charge a premium for their frugal portion sizes in all the entrees we ordered.
1. Seafood Ganjjajang Noodle: The container of noodles was maybe ~75% fully packed. For $15.95, I expected more. The black bean sauce was delicious and had great flavor. But this dish was not very filling for 1 person due to the lack of noodles included.
2. Pork with Green Peppers: This dish was the biggest ripoff. For $17.95, they give you the most skimpy and sad looking pieces of pork. This dish is 20% actual meat, and mostly just cheap fillers like green peppers, sauce, veggies.
3. Seafood Scallion Pancake: Great flavor, but the pieces were so small. Not worth $13.95.
I like supporting new local businesses, but this place needs to either give better portions or lower their prices. If not, I will not be a repeat customer. | 7/2/2020 16:36 | 2 |
I am addicted to Halal Corner. My favorites are the P1 with chicken with a combo of the jalapeño and white sauces, nom nom nom. Spicy chicken wrap is also delicious. Service was a little spotty when they first opened but when I was in there yesterday a new gal was working the register who was very friendly. This is the best food stop in Mueller in my humble opinion. | 10/8/2015 23:44 | 5 |
At first the price seemed high; however, when you ad on all the extras included, the price is great. They give you a $60 pedi for $25. You can walk in for one service but if you want a mani-pedi at one time, you'd best call for an appointment.
The facility is spacious, which gives you privacy for chatting with a girlfriend. | 8/27/2011 22:54 | 4 |
Great atmosphere. Loved the concept. Delicious food. Fabulous service. We will be back! Sorry I waited this long... | 4/13/2016 12:19 | 5 |
The food is ok.
I would go back for just a decent casual dining or formal lunch because of the ambience.
I ordered the crabcake burger - crabcake was ok.
yes I am picky with my cakes!! | 1/27/2009 0:47 | 4 |
I like Guirys, for Ben Moore paint. I am disappointed they closed with no sign explaining why and redirecting customers to Westminster....too far. No notice and no sign seems disrespectful to your customers. | 10/9/2020 0:03 | 5 |
Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday around 1p and was extremely disappointed in the food. The food was so awful but the service was excellent and our server was lovely. The service is a 4 star minimum but the food is a 1 star at best.
We started with the Belgian fries, which were delicious and garlicky, and we should have stopped there. I ordered the shrimp and grits (dinner version, sans egg and biscuit, thanks to our server informing me of the difference) and it had zero flavor. The shrimp were obviously previously frozen and tiny and there were five total. No spiciness and/or bold flavors. My boyfriend was equally disappointed, he ordered the Porter breakfast with three eggs & bacon and everything was overcooked.
Thankfully, the mimosas were delicious. Lesson learned: Go for the drinks (srsly, have you seen their beer menu?!) but NOT for food. | 5/4/2016 18:38 | 2 |
I can't believe how big this place is! I knew it had been a brunch staple since the early 1900's but having that much space in the Cambridge/Somerville area and having not one but TWO small parking lots, is just nuts. It is also nuts how quickly the line moves at this place for Sunday brunch! So definitely don't be discouraged!
This place is one of those classic family owned restaurant/diner spots with a big menu that definitely has to has something on it for everyone. I got their salmon hash which was TONS of salmon (definitely not cheap on the amount of fish they use!) roasted with onions and spices and red potatoes with two poached eggs on top served with a little fruit cup and a bagel of course. It was $13 before tax and tip for that meal which kept me full until dinner for sure, BUT it was not the most amazing food I've ever had. Good, but not incredible, ya know? Matt J. got their eggs oscar which were served on potato pancakes and came also with fruit and bagel also for $13 and he like his stuff, but overall just thought it was a good brunch place, not an amazing brunch place. We did have to ask for water a few times, but they at least aren't the type of Sunday brunch place that rushes you when you are done eating, we even had to ask for our check :-) | 4/24/2012 22:24 | 3 |
Always a great place for a wonderful 'gastropub' experience. Have been 8!or 9 times - always enjoyed the food and the wait staff. The Burger on my last visit, was as good as any in Boston. Always enjoy their special Mac and cheese as well. The fish and chips is a solid winner every time! | 1/10/2020 22:33 | 5 |
I'm so happy and impressed with Buildasign. They answer the phone right away, no robot prompts, and their site is easy to use. What a great company, I'm thoroughly impressed! | 1/17/2013 16:37 | 5 |
Hello! Where did you come from??
Yum!! Fresh ingredients, great flavor and a hole in the wall concept. I'm not sure how long this place has been here for, but it's sure popular.
Thank you fellow yelpers for introducing me to this place. Heart you long time! :) | 4/28/2011 3:09 | 5 |
This place is literally garbage and I was so disgusted I reported them and signed up for Yelp just to warn people.
It pains me to write this because I am from the West Side and I want to support local business but this place really needs to get it together or be shut down.
First let me say that the staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. You know what isn't delicious? The restaurants cleanliness. I have been many times and every time there is food and crumbs covering the table they sit me at, trash shoved under the cash register, a funky smell and terrible standards (trust me, I could go on and on.)
I usually get my food to go but today was the last straw when I ate half of a sticker that was in my burrito. | 10/24/2015 7:16 | 1 |
Definitely took care of my ramen fix! The people were very nice, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. | 5/20/2014 20:18 | 4 |
I've had quite a few manicures, including shellac and this was by far one of the best experiences and best manicures I've ever had. The staff was able to squeeze me in as one of the last appointments for the day and I was impressed at the cleanliness, professionalism, selection and decor of the place. It felt like we were all just hanging out for a girls' night even though I didn't know anyone else there.
After leaving the salon, my manicure lasted for an entire 10 days. It was not shellac, just your standard manicure. Typically I expect my polish to last about 3 days before chipping, 5 if I'm lucky. I was amazed at how flawless my pretty lilac nails looked a week later despite a few plane rides and the dry winter air. My nails were actually starting to grow out above the polish.
I can't wait to go back and I'll have to get the full mani-pedi treatment next time! | 4/4/2014 17:27 | 5 |
A great find in Disney Springs. My husband and I were celebrating 1 year married at Walt Disney World and wanted to get away from normal park food for a night and find a nice sit down place that would give us a memorable experience. This place definitely did it for us!
We called about an hour before our arrival and was able to get a reservation for 2 at 6:45. We didn't make it til closer to 7 but they still held our table for us and we were seated shortly after arriving. I can't remember our server's name, but he was fantastic. Just the right balance of goofy and professional, he made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. My husband and I decided to split some deviled eggs as well as a side of mac n cheese. For my main, I got the harvest salad, mainly because it came with hushpuppies and I was in a mood to try as much food as I could lol.
My salad was absolutely delicious. Just the right portion to get me full without being stuffed and a healthy option so that I could enjoy the rest of my comfort food dishes without guilt. The mac n cheese was the cheesiest that I've ever had - really good but you could feel your arteries clogging up with each bite. Wash everything down with a sweet tea, and you're in total Southern comfort heaven.
We ended up also getting an order of their cheddar cheese biscuits to go, only because they looked good and I also wanted to give those a try. The biscuits were super cheesy and savory and made for a great breakfast the next two days we were in the park. Much better than park food!
Overall, two thumbs up for Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'! | 12/26/2019 23:54 | 5 |
Food is not very good and this place takes nickel and diming to the extreme. If you have a problem with your food they will ignore it and won't take it off bill because it seems owner is very cheap. Want chowder instead of soup - no problem but you have to pay full price for chowder instead of a surcharge to cover difference and then toss out the other soup that will still come with your meal.
We tried it several times because my husband likes their seafood bisque and I liked them when they were in Wilmington but we will never go back. My husband really wanted to try chicken stew but could only order it as a bowl, not a cup. Why? No idea but whatever he ordered it along with dinner. It then arrives about 15 minutes later and is a gigantic bowl of potatoes and carrots with some chicken in flavorless broth. A staff member noticed he didn't eat much and we explained that it was not very good and was not what was expected. We tried to be nice and offered to just take it home. The woman packaged it up and dropped it at our table never once offering to take it off bill. We then waited another 15 min or so for our dinners to come out. Dinner was OK but I couldn't eat half my prime rib because it was very red even though I ordered it as medium. Waitress asked if I wanted to take it home and again I was polite and just said no.
After we finish eating our waitress informs my husband that his stew came with a salad and asks if he wants to take one to go. We informed her we did not want to take a salad home (who takes salad home??) but sure enough we were charged full price $8.25 for the 3 bites of stew and imaginary salad.
Sad thing is that it wasn't just us with issues. The table next to us had issues with their bill and then the staff tried to reject a restaurant.com certificate because one of the meals was a special. After several rounds of discussion the woman finally agreed to accept the certificate and I think that was only because they may have called the # and voided it.
Needless to say we will never go back there because they are more concerned about making $8 than keeping customers happy. I absolutely hate places that charge for every little thing and then charge you for things you didn't get or that weren't good. Next time I find myself over there I will definitely be going to Garrison's for better and cheaper food along with better waitstaff! | 2/22/2011 4:49 | 2 |
So, I hate to give this place one star, but the service was AWFUL!!!! It took forever to get the waitress to my table, and even longer to get a drink and the food. There were only three tables in use (5 people total), and I waited 20 minutes for a soda and 40 minutes for a pulled pork platter with two sides. The food itself was pretty darn good, but I'll never step foot in this place again due to poor service. | 4/3/2015 1:17 | 1 |
The cocktails were interesting with awesome presentation (sage or pear slices, anyone?) and service was great!
However, I found the tacos to be on the small side and pretty pricy. There aren't a lot of options besides a taco for people who don't eat cheese. It would be nice to have more side dish options such as beans and rice for a reasonable price. | 1/22/2011 3:49 | 3 |
Terrible service. Drive thru took 30 min on a Thursday 11 pm. Went to the store again in the same week (only because my daughter really wanted it) - same thing: slow service, this time I went in the store instead of drive thru. They are certainly understaffed. It's a very busy store that definitely needs a larger crew. Avoid this one if you can. | 5/5/2019 2:01 | 1 |
There are so many great places in Portland, and this one is one of my very favorites. If you enjoy a great cup of coffee, a flavorful cup of tea, a simple yet delicious salad, pastries, sandwiches, and donuts! Then this is definitely a good place to try. The atmosphere is great, parking kind of sucks, but that's what you get with an old house turned into a restaurant. This is one of my favorite places locally to treat myself every once in a while. | 1/2/2017 22:15 | 5 |
Very frustrating experience. I have never written any negative reviews about restaurants because I understand it is a very high-paced environment so problems are bound to happen.
I've been to Sushi Aria a dozen of times (no complaints prior to this incident). Anywho, I ordered takeout at Sushi Aria, the staff that took my order was fairly nice and he mentioned that the order would take 15-20 minutes.
I came back in 20 minutes and waited for an additional 10 before I asked them to check on the order. They said they were still waiting for the 2 pieces of Tamago Nigiri Sushi to be ready. After another 10 minutes of waiting, I tried to get the other waitresses' attention and ask about the orders but they completely ignored me. Finally, after a total of 45-50 minutes wait, I told the original staff that took my order to just cancel the tamago because it has taken a ridiculous amount of time. So at this point, I see that they're finally packing my bags (noodle and soup that been sitting on the table for 30+ minutes mind you).
Then the most frustrating part happens, they made me wait another 5 minutes before somebody with the capability to cancel/refund can come and cancel my Tamago. I had to explain that it has taken 40 more minutes than expected and the waitress gave me this extremely unpleasant look and said, "who told you it can be done in 20 minutes". I told her they have two options, after refund me or get me the remaining order within 5 minutes. I figured that was fairly reasonable but she refused to do a partial refund as I paid through credit card. This conversation pretty much went on for a few minutes before she finally said "Oh but your tamago is in this box already" (which was packed 10 minutes ago).
I was pretty speechless and just left. When I went left, my gf who speaks korean overheard the waitress say (in korean) "What's wrong with that guy (me)".
Went home, the fried stuff, the soup udon and everything's cold (home is pretty much next door too).
Extremely disappointing customer service experience. If they had told me it was going to be a 40 minutes wait, I would be okay with it. But the baffling part is the lack of attention they give you, lack of willingness to follow-up and provide answers.

Delicious !!! Service and food was excellent. I had a large bowl of potato soup it came with white rice and avocado. I also tasted the cheese arepa ( exquisite) as well as the guava juice. Everything was great! If I ever again find myself in Austin , I will definitely come again. | 7/22/2017 0:05 | 5 |
I just moved to the area recently and have yet to find a decent slice of pizza. Look no further...Nick-N-Willy's is delicious. I went there for lunch and got 2 slices and it was $6. They are good size slices, as I could not finish both of them. I was in and out in 5 minutes. The place is clean and the workers were very friendly. I will be back! | 6/26/2013 22:22 | 5 |
What an amazing experience!! We started with the steak tartare and it was perfectly seasoned and delicious! Justin was an amazing server- please ask for him. Wine recommendations, dinner recommendations and an all around excellent server. My husband the Ribeye and it was perfectly cooked. Great experience all around | 5/5/2018 22:26 | 5 |
On a week night around 6:30 p.m. The Beer Growler was dead. Two guys were sitting behind the counter when I walked in and I said, "Oh no, don't get up it's okay" and one of them replied with "You're a lady, we have to!" Well that made me a fan already.
I came here because of the Scoutmob for a free growler. The gentlemen explained that the growler usually costs $5 but every time you bring it back they give you a clean, fresh growler. Not a bad way to start a new relationship with draft beer.
Since this was my first growler experience, they let me try a few samples to see what my palette fancied. Much to my surprise, I discovered the Scotch Ale by newly opened Monday Night Brewing. SOLD! To fill my growler was also only $10.99, and for the quality of ale, plus the stellar service, I will definitely be back. | 2/16/2013 20:42 | 5 |
Lobster Ramen! My friends and I came here for their special offering of it that was only available for three days. They called it the Wicked Ramen. This ramen shop is pretty small and there's only 10 seats for seating.
There's five bar seats with a view of the kitchen and then five more by the door where you can people watch. There's no bathrooms here, but you can go next-door to the adjacent Tiki Rock Fusion restaurant which they are affiliated with.
The Food: We all ordered the Wicked Ramen with Koshihikari Ichicago Beer. The lobster Ramen was very well-balanced. The lobster was sweet and tasted fresh as if it was just caught. The soup had mushrooms and corn which attenuated its savory flavor. Our waiter recommended the Ichicago beer which was the perfect light and smooth beard that complemented the Ramen perfectly. This is probably one of the most well thought out and executed ramens that I've ever had.
I don't know when they will bring back the Ramen lobster. As I write this review, they only made it available for three days. The only con about this place are that it's a bit expensive. The lobster Ramen cost $25 and with the beer, everything came out to $34.
Overall, I think this place is worth a try. It's a hidden gem of a ramen place. | 7/28/2018 14:01 | 5 |
They've got a hot chai tea with boba that is beyond good. The cardamom chai is so amazingly delicious. But I also love cardamom. The ginger chai is also good but be ready for that ginger to really give it a good strong spicy kick.
A bit overpriced for tea so star removed for that reason. If it weren't so pricey, I'd probably end up going here 1x a week! Easily! But for now, it's just a yummy treat every now and again. | 1/12/2021 21:27 | 4 |
