Q: It's good because it's right net to my place but I find it over priced and the staff seem MISERABLE..

Q: After two less than stellar experiences here we swore it off forever. Small over priced portions stuffed onto appetizer sized plates, lack of seasoning on some dishes and overly seasoned others, comments from servers like " if you don't like the olives on the pizza you can just pick them off" instead of asking the chef to leave them off of the apparently pre-made luncheon special and a ridiculously high priced wine by the glass offering-$9 for a glass of wine for an $8 lunch dish? We received a gift certificate from a friend as well as a promise of stellar offerings from the chef including the butterscotch pudding! We thought we'd give it one more try and wage our bet with a free dining experience...upon entering through a quasi coat room and curtained door way we entered the dimly lit room and noticed three other tables already seated. We were seated and the waitress took our drink order and returned after quite some time with our glass of wine and specialty cocktail. She launched into the diatribe of specials, complete with soulless overly long explanations of preparations and ingredients, all memorized moments before and then- in the middle of the rabbit roulade dissertation she looked toward the curtain as it parted and another pair of diners entered-she stopped abruptly and said, "i'll be right back" she seated them, gave them menus, cleared dishes from a neighboring table and then returned to us to finish her monologue. We settled on the trio of truffle dishes which included a bland roasted beet salad, an oily under seasoned green tangle of arugula a few shavings of truffles and a wedge of cheese which we hoped would provide the salt to the dish...the cheese was waxy and bland, the dish uneventful. Next in the trio was a warm compote of rabbit, truffle and mushrooms which begged for a nice piece of bread to sop up the tasty gravy...$3 extra and you can have the bread...6 pieces, cut earlier in the day except for the salty flat bread sopping with oil! The rabbit roulette with truffled aioli was tasty, a bit like a chicken salad in need of salt and a spark of citrus to brighten it. On to the main courses-a home made tagliatelli with kale and guanchale and the braised short rib on polenta cakes. Again, the dishes arrived, crammed into appetizer sized bowls, a large flat rimmed past bowl that would have allowed the pasta to find a comfortable home among the crispy bits of ham and kale would have changed our first impression. The short rib dish immediately produced two large chunks of fatty grizzle which I had to spit into my PAPER napkin...really?? At $15-24 for pasta dishes you're using paper napkins??m y next bite of short rib, so salty I had to order another glass of $10 wine also produced the first of 15 whole peppercorns I had to spit out. Obviously the braising liquid hadn't been strained before serving the dish making the whole peppercorns an annoying if flavorful addition. My dining partner uncovered about a half a pound of 6"-8" ribbons of kale, impossible to stab onto his fork and not much pasta. The waitress, ensconced in a tete a tete with her fellow employees in a corner of the bar across the room never came back and we had to signal for her to bring us espresso, after dinner drinks and the much talked about butterscotch pudding. My espresso arrived solo, no lemon rind or biscotti to offset the bitter brew, the pudding was plunked down in a tiny bowl, unceremoniously without a plate or doily to announce its outstanding reputation. A coagulated whipped cream splat on the top with cocoa powder both over powering the salty butterscotch goo below...give me a jello pudding cup and a visit to Biaggis for a more authentic italian experience than this...even for free!

Q: Yes! I found one restaurant that I will likely make one of my regular spots for Vietnamese food! I just attended their Sunday brunch and I admit the selection and quality really impressed me. I've never seem a Vietnamese buffet before. Dim Sum, sure. I will dare say I like this better than Dim Sum. It certainly can be healthier due to the soups and fresh vegetables. But those that enjoy sinning (me included), don't worry, they have your stuff there too. I really like their setup for congee (rice soup) and the bun (rice vermicelli noodles) which they provide a ride range of meats send vegetables that you can throw into that bowl. Oh, I'm so full! And Lord, there's desert! Mmmmm, warm taro and tapioca pudding! Lots of other desert choices. Sunday buffet is a great introduction for newbies. Now, just because I posted this doesn't mean EVERYONE has to show up at once! Spread it out, take your time, share. Enjoy life! Y'all have fun now!

Q: So I got in over my head with two amazing Belgian Malinois. I'm a strong owner and pack leader, but trial and error was taking far too long and costing me far too much (furniture). Thank God I found Jonny Be Good. I just wanted to be able to walk my dogs on a leash without my shoulders and back aching from them pulling the whole time (pinch/prong collars were only fuel to their fire.) But not only do I not even own leashes now, I have a level of ABSOLUTE control over my dogs. Since working with Juan, I have NEVER been in public with my dogs and not gotten an inquiry as to who trained them and if they could have his number. In fact I've even had several offers for people to buy my dogs thinking they were service dogs! I recently rescued a german shepherd/husky mix to add to the pack and was able to implement all the same training techniques I'd learned. I now have a healthy, happy, much less destructive, and insanely obedient pack of dogs thanks to Juan. It's an investment I can and will enjoy for the rest of their lives.
