Very impressed with The Dogs! We had to wait a half hour for a table as it was heaving, but I guess that is a good indication of somewhere good & half an hour isnt long really on a Saturday Avo. We then got seated and served by a friendly waitress that even although it was busy, was still very polite and happy to serve. The chap that seemed to take the phone calls and organise the tables looked very flustered which was a tad off putting, but I think they are looking for additional staff and so i think that they struggled a little with how busy it was. I ordered the asparagus, goats cheese barley risotto and it was tasty, also we had the seafood pie, which had a nice amout on salmon in it! We did not have anything to drink other than water, but it did have a very attractive wine menu!. I loved the theme of this establishment. I love dogs as it happens, but its quirky and just a little different, which I like & the quality of food in relation to the price we paid was very very good. Lunch cost is 13! I would love to pop back at night sometime in the future, as I think it would be even better :)

Two stars because they only have one store I really love. That store is Zara. It's the Spanish version of H&M (originated in Spain) but pricier. Otherwise, I would be a damn fool to drive here on a regular shopping basis. Are you out of your damn mind? Hello, I hate to admit this shit, but I am a local and I know better. The place is swamped with tourists (drunk and sober) so I avoid this place on a regular basis. I get anxiety just thinking about the crowds. Parking blows more than L. Lohan on crack. Food court is way over-priced for fast food. I'll just stick to my chai lattes or iced coffees at Starbucks thank your very much. And eat somewhere else, Chinatown is very close (pho, sushi, chinese, korean!) And those pointless, stupid-ass fashion shows? Girl please, if I wanna see wannabe models strut the catwalk, I'll watch America's Next Top Model. The Fashion Show is massive, I'll give that, and covers your bases on stores. From low-end (discount gift shop stores) to high-end Neimans. Thus, you have a wide selection of useless shit. But c'mon, in this recession I cannot afford to be shopping at regular priced shit. I'll stick to outlets and sales at H&M. I'll be damned if I'll be clowned on at Saks if I have to ask for the price on something. If this place had H&M, Uniqlo (Japanese version of H&M), and Urban Outfitters than I will upgrade this place to five stars. Otherwise, I'll just stick to my annual holiday trek in December.

We hit this place quite a few months ago randomly while in this part of town. The Good: The place is clean, the owner is very nice. The Bad: The food. We both ordered sandwiches, pulled pork and chicken. Tasted like boiled/crockpot meat with thick, too sweet, ketchup-based sauce poured ALL over it. It was so disgusting. DH and I agreed. Never again. We are just shocked this place has the same rating as Texas BBQ House (which has just BEAUTIFUL food...). 2 Stars only because the service and owner were lovely.

First thing's first: walking into the restaurant, the first thing you see is the open kitchen and the food waiting on the pass under heat lamps. Interesting introduction as you walk in, but unfortunately your first contact is wading through "traffic". And though the service is a little slow, the food is quite outstanding. The complimentary pickle jar to start and cotton candy at the end are nice touches, and does nothing to take away from the artful dishes prepared before your eyes by the creative chefs (who are not hard on the eyes themselves). Tried the salmon tartar which was which was fresh and flavorful and the "plat du jour" which consisted of a pork and black bean tart which scallops and seasonal veggies - amazing. Didn't have room for dessert but apparently the Pain Perdu is wonderful. Will definitely go back (but maybe during the week)
