Problem: Brought the family here on vacation. It's a very cool patio to hang out at on a nice day, with a big crowd, great beer and ice cream. There is a dock where people can hang out and swim and the view is pretty nice. I also like that they don't take tips for beer. We saw some people having pizza, which is apparently pretty cheap in the cafeteria. I didn't see that there was a lot to do here other than people-watch...not sure how much fun it would be if nobody showed up. There was no live music when we attended about 3 PM on a Saturday afternoon.

Problem: I really wanted to like this place but they failed at too many points for that to happen. First a friend of mine was in town who happens to own a great wine bar in another city so we decided to check this place out having never been there. We arrived at 9:10pm on a Sunday night and was finally greeted by the bartender at 9:15 and she said that it was last call and if we wanted something from the kitchen we would have to order right now. This would have been fine if we even had menus. Since when does a bar close at 9pm in this town??? We ordered food and a few glasses of wine. The first glass was was from a corked bottle. I'm no expert but the smell was clearly that of a molded cork, very pungent. The bartender said she didn't notice, this was clear since she served half of the bottle to other guests prior to us being there. (BTW this is most like because this little tartlet burned out her olfactory senses long ago) Then the food, oy. The Hummus had a hair in it! A long nasty funky hair! I told the bartender it was fine (I'm not one to make a fuss) then she insisted on getting us a new one and I declined. She still had it sent out but we didn't eat it. She asked why and I explained as nicely as I could that the hair likely came from the container that the hummus was in and not the plate it was placed on so the entire batch was contaminated making the new hummus just as nasty as the first. I don't think she followed my logic. The pate was not made in house i.e. bought already done and was served with out and bread or crostinis. The kobe sliders tasted like dog food and looked half as good. Kobe isn't meant to be well done!!!! The only good thing was the spinach dip with bacon in it. By this time we moved on to beer of which the only had two. And this was in preparation to go to the Yard House since they're open past 9:30. I, however, will give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again....... but so help me god if it is not any better!!!!!!

Problem: The only reason I left off a star is because its a bit pricey. The first time I went I got the chipotle egg burrito and it was FANTASTIC! It was filling and actually one of the cheaper breakfasts on the menu. The next time I went I ordered the Croque Monsieur, and lets just say... I've never ordered anything else from Ncounter again! I now ALWAYS get the Croque Monsieur. Sourdough bread topped with ham, tomatoes, gruyere, mustard, and two basted eggs. Every time I go back I tell myself to try something new like Bananas Fosters French (which looks so yummy!), but I a,ways go back to this. But, as I mentioned, it is quite pricey for something next to a college campus. The mimosas were over $5 and, while tasty, we're small and not a good value. I also believe the food prices may have raised since their opening. Maybe this is because of their quick rise in popularity.

Problem: This place is great. They live up to their name, and do the little things that count. For example, the place was busy but I was greeted by a little lady that came from the back out of nowhere, and ushered me to a seat towards the back of the spa. Before I knew it my feet were soaking in a hot tub of water, I was asked if I would like hot tea or water, and my massage began! I highly recommend this foot spa to any friends looking for a quick and not to mention great- priced foot spa. Keep up the great work best foot spa! One hour for $22 - included a face, scalp, neck, back, and body massage.
