Problem: I met my girls here for lunch one Friday and man was it packed! I have been in this strip mall a couple of times and never noticed this place. One of my friends wanted came for the "Pho" which everyone seems to be raving about. I was not in a soup kinda mood so I decided to order the half of sandwich and salad lunch special. The sandwich was just ok, it was grilled chicken on some sort of wheat roll, and some sauce that tasted a little off, the best part of the meal was the cilantro on the sandwich and my salad, whatever kind of dressing they used was delicious. The service was extremely slow good thing we were not in a rush; it appeared as though they weren't prepared for the rush of people that came in for lunch. My friend loved her Pho of course so I decided that the next time I eat here I will have to try this Pho everyone keeps talking about.

Problem: This is the worst place you can go to. It's a racist establishment, that essentially shits on you if you are not white. Last time, which will obviously be mine or my friends' last time at that shithole, the bouncer (after letting in a couple of shabby whites in) looks me up and down and asks should I let you in? I asked him to go fuck himself and walked away. I suggest you do too.

Problem: Our third visit and, because we want this local restaurant to do well, I must offer some constructive criticism. First visit, very tasty food, prepared by Chef Wes. Second visit, still no complaints. Last night, very disappointed. My husband ordered shrimp tagliatelle with alfredo sauce. True alfredo contains nothing but butter, cream and cheese. This alfredo was like wallpaper paste. I'm guessing they must thicken it with flour in a poor attempt at a roux. Very gluey and raw tasting. Suggestion, cook the roux a bit longer before adding milk, then add some cream. I ordered tagliatelle with olive oil, roasted garlic, broccoli and mushrooms. When I got the dish, the veggies had burned and the taste was awful. The chef graciously apologized and made another. Very mediocre at best. This was dry and the veggies had been heated in a fry pan. I suggest they heat in some chicken broth before adding to a pasta dish. I also suggest that when olive oil is chosen as the sauce, perhaps saute the garlic in the oil "aglia olia" then add rest of ingredients. I read some poor reviews on the garlic knots. Ours were very flavorful with oil garlic and salt, but the insides were a bit raw. I noticed that they use culinary students in the kitchen, perhaps for prepping? Marinara sauce has good potential. Just a bit on the sweet side. I think the best bet for sauce is their tasty pesto. The ordering area is a bit confusing. There is a small blackboard on the wall, but the script writing is so tiny, it's almost impossible to read. Suggestion: Put a large blackboard on the back wall, near soda, and write in large print so people can see it when they come in. I did see on the board Lasagna $18.00. No way, that's the price in a fine dining restaurant. The chef who prepared our first meal wasn't there last night. The other chef is such a nice young man and, as I said, we want him to do well. Still no beer and wine, and the macaroons are still tiny. Most positive asset, the freshly made pasta is light and delicious. Not trying to be mean, just constructive. I think when this little place "gets the kinks out" they'll do well! Reviewed by retired cooking teacher/caterer (of Italian descent)

Problem: I had an early morning flight and decided to grab something at the airport. Unfortunately I decided to grab a cinnamon roll at Paradise Bakery. Since I've had nothing but positive experiences with the cinnamon roll from their majority owner Panera Bread in Chicago, I thought this was a slam dunk. It was obvious to me that they served me left overs from the day before because it sure didn't taste fresh. The baker must have slept in that morning or called in sick. The service is Sloooow as well. They try to multitask and help other customers part way through my transaction, very annoying.
