Problem: I'm usually not a huge fan of froyo places because, for my money, I'd rather have ice cream than froyo. But one day I jonesing for something frozen and sweet, and my residual guilt from overindulging had me heading toward Tops 'N Bottoms. The place is incredibly clean and bright with plenty of seating. There is a small selection of "bottoms" to put in your cup before you select your yogurt so that you're not stuck with a cup of plain yogurt after you eat all the good stuff. It's a nice idea, though I do wish there was some fruit at the bottoms station too. The flavor selection is pretty decent, and you can ask for samples if you can't decide. The first time I went I got the cupcake and vanilla flavors. The vanilla was nothing special, but the cupcake...holy cow. I dream of the stuff. I crave it more than I crave Haagen Dasz coffee ice cream, and that is saying something. The cupcake is a red velvet flavor that is rich and delicious and perfect in every way. I went back again when the desire for cupcake yogurt became too much, and this time I dragged the hubster along. I got the cupcake (of course) and California tart which was surprisingly good! I wasn't anticipating a "plain" flavor to be so delicious. It was perfect with the strawberries and blueberries I got from the "topping" bar. Good thing I brought the hubster - he got the white chocolate for me to try, and it was amazing. It will be perfect with the cupcake that I'll get the next time I go, because make no mistake - I will be back.

Problem: Let me start by saying the pizza is fantastic - seems to have honey or agave glaze crust with a slight sweetness to balance the crispy crust - Yum! We had the Thai Dye and Red Skin Potato Pie. However, the Thai Dye seemed more of a mix between Thai flavors and Indian, with the curry chicken. Not a big fan of potato pizza, but this was very good. That said, we had a Caesar salad and chef salad to start. Both tasted "homemade" - not in a good way - and we literally had 2 croutons on the large Caesar. However, the service was atrocious. We had to flag down our waitress to refill our drinks (we only wanted one refill - not asking for constant service) and again to get a box for leftovers (which she just placed on the table and then walked away). We also had to ask (again) for the check and she replied "Do you have a Groupon" - ah, the light bulb. Not sure why she thought we had a Groupon, but should that matter? Being a former server, I tend to tip more, but definitely not last night. The waitress was not busy, just decided we were not worth her effort, I suppose. Atmosphere - the restaurant was very loud - acoustics are poor. And, my personal favorite - the party sitting next to us had a Yorkie in the 4th chair. The dog behaved better than the women sitting with her - they kept fussing over the dog, who just wanted to sleep. But, since the Yorkie was wearing a dress and sitting in a Juicy knockoff bag, hard to believe it was a service animal. I like dogs, but really not appropriate in a restaurant dining room and seems like the dog should have been discreetly out of sight, not sitting in a chair pulled up right next its owner. So we might get carryout from now on - pizza only - but unlikely.

Problem: Good Gelato, but the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. The bathroom was a mess, the decor is unpainted plywood, and the owner/server is not a pleasant personality. She hurried my 4yr old daughter's selection in an unfriendly manner, even though there was no one else in the shop, and there is a lot to choose from. Puzzling when you realize that there is another Gelato shop nearby that provides a much better experience.

Problem: We went on Friday 7/10/09. We got there are 10:20ish. The line was super long however, it was very organized and we got in in about 20mins or so. Good looking people, bouncers arent too douchey. Good times.
