I was totally surprised by the Deep Fudge Chocolate Cake & Shake. The presentation is delightful and light for a deceivingly rich cake. The mini cake is packed with flavor but the sweetness is very subtle. If you have a sweet tooth, you can pour on or dip your cake into the chocolate cream they give you and it'll be like a chocolate cake fondue. The cake was so moist and baked in perfectness too! My family also tried a shake and two hot chocolates (one dark and one milk chocolate). Those items were tasty but the price makes hesitates me to get it again. Otherwise, good experience with service and cleanliness and the chill atmosphere!

This place is so lucky it redeemed itself with fantastic food, because the notes I was taking weren't so hot. This really is a prime example for Kitchen Nightmares. First, the hostess made the mistake of making us stand by the door for 15 minutes after scoffing that we didn't have reservations. She literally acted like she hoped we would just leave. Finally she said, "well I can sit you at the bar if you want". Then another 10 minutes to get us menus. Let's just say, sitting at the bar gave us the extreme look into the kitchen and all it's awfulness. Without seeing "behind the scenes" I might have felt more favorable about the restaurant in general. First of all, they had three waitstaff, except there was a guy doing drinks and the blonde lady who was taking orders. Then you have this 15 year old girl (approx.) running around serving all the tables, making all of the salads from scratch, cooking the bread, delivering the bread, fetching refills on drinks, gathering the dirty dishes and bringing them out back and even doing prep work for the cooks. The poor girl was running around like a chicken with her head cut off and didn't even have a frown about it. Nobody else on the staff even cracked a smile, never mind even talked to each other. I also have to give props to the chef who was very attentive and made sure everyone liked their food. When he made a steak, he made sure it was cooked exactly how they wanted it and refired when necessary. And the food was amazing, so he's got it going on. Unfortunately, there were a few things. First, the salad bowls are inches from the ground, on the bottom shelf of the prep table. When the girl made a salad, she was pulling it up from the bottom shelf to use the bowl to mix the salad in. Too close to the floor for my taste. Also, all the salads besides Caesar have MOUNDS of Olives in them, so make sure to ask for no olives if you don't like them. Also, the lettuce bin is in the drink station, located an inch from the handwashing station. It would be a miracle if spilled drinks and soap didn't get into the lettuce. They also use frozen fish. I don't eat fish, but I'm sure people care about this. HOWEVER, in terms of our food... it was fantastic. I got the Rigatoni Arriabata and it was probably the best I've ever tasted. It's very spicy, but that's just how I like it. My boyfriend got a steak and it was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Honestly, the chef and the young girl pretty much ran the restaurant themselves. The blonde just walked around aimlessly and I have no idea what I guy was doing besides giving more dishes to the young girl to bring out back. Maybe he was waiting tables, but I only ever saw him making drinks. Like I said.. GREAT food but a prime candidate for Kitchen Nightmares. Also, I recommend the Caesar Salad. I didn't get it, but the garden salad was full of chopped olives and terrible.

I saw Dr. Romine's office for a few years for acne maintenance. Eventually I decided to see one of her aestheticians for a light chemical peel. This light peel ended up scabbing over most of my face mainly on the sides near my cheeks. I went back to them after it started to get more severe and was told by Dr. Romine that I was actually lucky because I was getting the result of a more aggressive, more expensive peel. What I wasn't given was the proper instruction and/or topical treatment for this type of peel which has subsequently left me with the darkening and scarring of my face. I went back 6 or so months later with these same concerns and was told that I have a skin condition and that it was not caused by the peel. However, I know that it was. Seeing as this is a dermatology office, I felt confident getting this type of procedure. I understand that sometimes things don't go as planned, but not taking accountability for these things is a different story. Maybe I could have taken some sort of legal action, which I did not, but would like others to be aware before deciding to get a treatment like this from them.

Clearly no one that has reviewed this place has ever eaten pizza before so the fact that it had bread and cheese and some canned veggies and cured meat passed for pizza. There is no amount of drunk that would have led me to believe that this pizza is good. I have eaten perfect amazing wonderful pizza, Italian style, New York style, Chicago style... HELL NO. This pizza is gross. HELL YES. I was drunk when I ate it. Yea, I ate it. But no... I could not get past the fact that the pizza was so subpar that I wanted my money back. Of course I ate it, I was wasted. But I knew, deep down, that I was being made a fool. I knew I should have gone back to my apartment and eaten a frozen pizza because it would have been far and away more delicious. The place is aptly named because I am pretty sure paradise will be no fun and thus have shitty pizza.
