Problem: 11/11/10 Was in the area for a November OYE that was about to start in 30 minutes, but I was so hungry and didn't really think my second meal-of-the-day comprised of pie, cake, pastries, and wine was a healthy way to end the evening w/, so I decided I'd check out Red Devil. It was dead inside (only a couple was there for dinner), and I got the feeling that most of the business that evening was going to be take-outs. Bartender was friendly enough, until I started asking questions about the ingredients. He still remained accessible, but the smiles certainly went away. I almost stood up and left. When the food arrived 25 minutes later, I wished I had left! I found the calzone crust soggy- no crispiness anywhere, and the mozzarella-ricotta mix made for an ugly, bland-tasting (I detected no ricotta flavor at all) conglomeration. (See photos.) The only thing that turned out OK was the marinara sauce, but what good is it if the item you're supposed to eat it w/ isn't worth the trouble? I had the leftovers boxed, and stood up to go after only spending 5 minutes eating. After all, I had a party to attend! p.s. What a poor example of a treehugger I am! No sooner had I exited RD's doors did I take the first chance to throw the leftovers in the trash. Should've just left it on the table...

Problem: In the 30 minutes I was at Casablanca, I was underwhelmed. To say the least. The service is absolute shit. It's a really great atmosphere and there was an amazing live band and I even liked the light-up menus, but the service killed it for me. The manager tried to come over and salvage an experience that was spiraling downward for myself and seven other girls. She made it worse. Trying to get our checks sorted out was a nightmare. I almost felt sorry for our server because she clearly wasn't capable or prepared to handle a table of eight. We were told she was new by the manager, which I also didn't like. Why would you assign a new server to a group? She didn't know what was in the drinks and wasn't familiar with the menu. One of the girls in our group had to flag down the manager just to get my one (and only) round of drinks. I'd love to give this place another shot if they can invest in better service. The company, however, was fabulous! To all the ladies out on Saturday night, I had a blast with you all! Despite the Casablanca shitstorm. Does anyone know the name of the band that was playing there on Saturday? I'd definitely love to see them again (at another venue!).

Problem: We stayed in this hotel due to renovations at our home and we could not have picked a better hotel. We initially chose it because it was close to our home and allowed pets. Upon arrival the staff was friendly and prompt. The entire hotel and property is non-smoking which is great for people like myself that do not like smelling smoke in the hallways or common areas. The staff understood we needed to be close to the exits because of the pets and frequent walks so they put us on the 2nd floor right next to the staircase. Our suite is one of the nicest We have stayed in for an extended stay hotel. Everything was clean and well maintained. Rooms were quiet and a lot bigger than what I expected. We will definitely recommend friends and family stay here when they come to visit us.

Problem: Stopped in yesterday for the first time. Will definitely go back. Had the Teriyaki chicken plate with rice, macaroni salad and added steamed veggies. Also the crab Rangoon. The Teriyaki sauce is practically to die for. OMG. Could eat it with a spoon. Chicken was nice and tender. The veggies were cooked perfectly, still had a bit of bite to them. I put just a touch of the Teriyaki sauce on them too, because I couldn't get enough of it, lol. Crab Rangoon were very tasty. Preferred them plain than with the sauce, they were that good. Only thing I didn't care for was the salad. It was just OK. Service was very fast and friendly, and everything was correct with our order.
