Problem: This is absolutely the worst experience! They charge for dry cleaning but launder the clothes and overcharge you until you catch it. Then expect you to bring all your clothes back to do them over instead of refunding the difference. GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE!

Problem: One of the best dining experiences by far in my life. I'm very pleased to add this to my list of michelin star/fine dining/gourmand's bucket list restaurants. I came here during memorial day weekend to celebrate my hubby's birthday and the long weekend. The experience starts the moment you step out of your hotel and into their limo which they provide. It's a cool, short ride to behind the MGM and through huge iron gates which open to a secluded circular driveway, bearing the entrance to the Mansion. The pretty hostess welcomed us and led us through the Mansion's stunningly beautiful, climate controlled courtyard garden which is surrounded by villa balconies and patios. I hoped to see a famous face but no luck that time. We proceeded straight into the restaurant after the short walk. I requested a cozy and quiet table so we got one of the huge corner booths which were far from the center of the dining room. However the dining room was small so it we didn't miss out on any of the grandeur of the room with its huge crystal chandelier hanging from the middle of the ceiling and its plush walls and interior. I noticed there was a smaller patio dining room too with a cool moss wall. The plate settings were immaculate in gold. As you can see I love the setting and atmosphere of restaurants. ON to the food: we each got the four course prix fixe where we can choose a dish for each course. I wanted to get the six but we were going to Ka right after so there wasn't enough time. So for the dishes: We started with the bread cart and we each got at least two plates throughout the whole night. Do not skip out on this and don't hold back on trying anything! Warmed bread makes all the difference!! We ordered a half bottle of some good champagne to drink. The sommelier was very helpful and gracious. l'amuse bouche: can't remember what it was but it was good. Appetizer: both of us got the carpaccio of lemon scallops. I thought this was the most beautifully and creatively plated. Aside from that, it tasted heavenly. Soup: both got the Tofu veloute with caramelized eel. It was the most interesting dish; The eel and tofu soup surprisingly complemented each other very well Entree: both got the duck and foie gras. It was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The foie gras was melt in your mouth of course Dessert: I got the tahitian vanilla pineapple sorbet with almond panna cotta and hubby got the chocolate sorbet swirl with banana passion fruit cotton candy! Both were absolutely delicious. His came with banana cotton candy! need i say more? Before the dessert, I also requested to add a plate of cheese. The only reason I wanted the six course was to get the cheese but they graciously offered it to us even when we only ordered the four course. Plus we didn't get charged for it which is truly amazing lol. Last but not least, since it was his birthday, they brought out a special whole birthday cake! It was very pretty and cute and pink lol. They cut us two slices and it was i believe raspberry and lemon sorbet with a light cookie center and outside (with the texture of macaroon). It was one of the best ice cream cakes i've ever had! This was truly a great and unforgettable experience and I'm really happy to have shared it with someone special. The staff was very generous, polite, and unpretentious. I would definitely come back here for another splurge (perhaps on their 16 course one day).

Problem: It took awhile to open, but it was worth the wait... And now I have another great breakfast place in my 'hood to add into the rotation - hooray! I had a breakfast meeting this morning and suggested we meet at Morning Squeeze since I hadn't been yet. It was 8:30am on a Thursday am and there was a nice buzz going on when I walked in, but not too crowded. The hostess was welcoming and I like the colorful decor... Shortly after I met my colleague, we were greeted by our servers, who were just attentive enough. Our drinks were delivered quickly, which I was thankful for too! I went with their wheat pancakes and a side of egg whites and my friend had the oatmeal brulee. My eggs were a bit on the salty side, but I dealt with it, and we both enjoyed our breakfast. The pancake serving size was huge, so I even had leftovers to bring home! The only awkward feedback was that my "side of egg whites" came on two extremely small plates instead of one medium sized one. They also only had small to-go containers, which wasn't a big deal, but hopefully they'll order some medium sized plates and larger to-go containers in the future. Other than that, I found prices to be moderate and service spot-on. Parking wasn't an issue and the location is super convenient to my office and the heart of Old Town, which I love! I look forward to returning soon. I hear their lunch menu is pretty good too!

Problem: Alright, Sorry, but I would have to not recommend coming to this place. The problem with it is that 1) the portions are so small for such a mediocre price range, the couple times I've been the curry just has not been very good. I've ordered the Pad Thai and well, it's been alright, but the beef was overcooked, and honestly Golden Wok is pretty much a better padthai / pad see ew place.
