A: Kind of a coincidence oh how I found this place. I was looking for a new hairdresser and came to Sola Salons to see what this place was about. Kelly happen to be walking in as I was trying to find a hairdresser. We ended up going over to her salon and sat and talked about my hair, set me up with an appointment and did such an amazing cut with a split end treatment. I went back to have her fix the color another salon had messed up. And I was so excited with how well she matched the picture I had shown her. I thought I wasn't able to find someone I could trust as many others have either dried out my hair or cut it wrong. But she made me feel at ease and utterly comfortable. Kelly is amazing and I will continue to go back and have her work on putting my hair back to its original form: Beautiful!
Q: negative

A: We ate downstairs and it seems like being downstairs means the kitchen and wait staff assume you are lower class though the prices are still very $$$. The atmosphere seems nice when you enter but we were sat in this room just off the side of the kitchen and I felt like I was in a banquet hall. All of the ambience was lost in that room. First, the server (who was very tacky overall) asked us if we wanted still or bubbly water. I asked for still because I know (as a former server) that when a server asks you if you want bubbly water they are trying to up sell you to bottled water. Well, in this case, even the still water was an up sell. He should have said 'Do you peasants want still, bubbly or tap water?' I should have known better, I suppose. We paid $5 a person for water. Let the nickel and diming begin. Before we placed our orders, we asked for some recommendations on the side dishes. The server naturally recommended the most expensive side dishes. I ordered the gratin cauliflower and it was inedible. The cauliflower was close to raw and the sauce was just poor. We also had two appetizers. A crab cake, which was tasty but I got a crab shell in one of my bites. Like everyone else, I watch Top Chef masters and they would have sent someone home for that mistake. For my main course, I ordered a half-order of the special that night, shelled crab and lobster over risotto. It was $75 for the half-order, $140 for the full order. It was nothing special. Seriously, I've had better crab at lower-end seafood places. The lobster claw, though big was a mealy texture similar to tofu. I couldn't even eat it, and this is supposed to be the freshest / best seafood available. The server said he used to be a sommelier so I asked him to pair a glass of wine with my dinner. He naturally recommended the most expensive glass of wine and I accepted his recommendation. On its own it was not a very good glass of wine but I waited to see how it paired with my food because I know a good pairing can change the flavor of both the food and the wine. It didn't. When the server inquired how the pairing was, I told him I didn't really like it. He then asked me why. So I explained the wine was watery and did not elevate the food. He then spent 5 minutes explaining that he paired me with an 'old world wine' and I must have a new world palette. So, basically, it was my fault I didn't like it. We also got the mashed potatoes as a side dish and the pea soup starter. The pea soup was just so so. The mashed were a highlight and tasted great but the presentation looked like something you would get at Applebee's. A bowl of mashed potatoes with chives, chopped red onions and capers just plopped on top. My husband had scallops and a chili relleno in a mole sauce. He enjoyed his relleno and the scallops were cooked perfectly but the mole was not very good. Two other people at my party had surf & turf and they enjoyed their food. But, admittedly, had never been to a restaurant of this (supposed) caliber before. The other two people in our party were also underwhelmed (there were 6 of us total). My sister is a vegetarian and asked for a veggie sushi roll and the server had to grapple with this idea and then decided that the sushi chef could most likely accommodate this request. I don't know how you mess up a veggie roll, but they did. She did, however, order a side of sauteed spinach which she said was the best she ever had. The server barely checked on us. The guy refilling our $5 water was far more attentive. The check naturally included 18% gratuity. No problem there, but normally I would give at least 25% if the food and service had been excellent. Because the server nickeled and dimed us, he got nothing extra. I think and hope Rick Moonen would be terribly embarassed by the food and service we received that night.

Answer: I'm from Austin, Texas. We used to have a bar just like this on Sixth Street called Shadow Lounge. What a weird, creepy idea. I just can't get into that. It's easier just to not be elbowed through a crowd and get free champagne at the slot machines a few feet away.

A:
I was really upset with the service at this dealership. I walked out disappointed because I really liked the salesperson I was working with, Mike, but the rest of the team who were brought in to close the deal were either rude or secretive. Walking in the door, Mike took great care of me by showing me the vehicle I was interested in, taking a test drive with me, talking about all of the vehicles features, etc. However, once we sat down to start negotiating a price for the car, the numbers guy who came over, Chris, quoted me a price, which I agreed to, and then without my knowledge, bundled a rebate, that I was expecting to receive, into the price of the car. Without any conversation or explanation they handed me a paper to sign that would send my rebate check directly to the dealer instead of to me. I understand that a rebate can be sent straight to the dealer to act as a downpayment on the car but they were claiming it was necessary to negotiate the initial selling price of the car, which is unfair. I was very disappointed by the underhanded nature of that move and ultimately it caused me to walk out of the dealership without a car. To top things off, when I decided that I wasn't comfortable with the deal and I was ready to walk out, Alex, the sales manager, came into the office and aggressively interrogated me about why I was leaving. I explained to him that I wasn't happy with the way the rebate was factored into the deal and he then proceeded to raise his voice, dramatically ripped up my contract, and told me that if I thought I could find a better deal somewhere else to take my business elsewhere. As a business that prides itself on customer service, I found that behavior to be COMPLETELY unacceptable. It made the sales manager look irrational and reflected poorly on his whole team. In the end, I did take my business elsewhere. I saved hundreds of dollars and was treated with respect at the dealership I did end up working with. Final word of advice: If you do choose to go to this dealership, make sure you've done your homework, because they will try and sneak the price of the car up if you don't call them on their shenanigans.
