Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?

Answer: I came here for a birthday dinner. The restaurant is really small and intimate, and you may end up sharing a table with other diners. The menu is organized into snacks, small plates, and large plates which are entree portioned. Everything comes up as it's ready and you're encouraged to share your food with others in your party. Thick wooden tables and water and coffee served in clear glass carafes defines the decor of this place. Under snacks category, we order duck fat fries, dates, and rabbit rillette. Under the small plates category we ordered octopus, pork belly, and lamb carpaccio. Everything was very rich and filling. Our party of 3 came away feeling stuffed. I wasn't such a fan of the duck fat fries. I didn't taste the duck specifically, and mostly just tasted like well fried fries. I wouldn't order it again. The dates were stuffed with chorizo and baked in a piquillo pepper sauce. So delicious. I wish it was just a touch more spicy but the dates were deliciously sweet and countered nicely with the chorizo. I also loved the rabbit rillette topped with pistachios and comes with some pickled cherries. Amazing even without the cherries. Ask for extra bread because there will be so much delicious rillette. For the small plates, I found the octopus a bit tough but the flavor was good. The pork belly I would've preferred crispier, but the green apple slaw that it came with balanced so well with the pork belly. It elevated the dish. The lamb carpaccio came with a raw yolk on top and was a big hit with my fellow diners. They don't take reservations, but at 7pm on a Saturday night, we had no problem snagging a table.

Answer: Went here to watch the NCAA tourney games and they were running some deal where you had to spend $15 per person every hour or they would kick you out. I mean it's understandable but doesnt give you a warm and fuzzy when the waiter is telling you his manager is breathing down his neck to get us out unless we order something else. But at least the guy was nice about it. On to the food - got some nachos with cheese whiz and canned jalapenos so it's pretty much bottom of the barrel pub grub. Guacamole was $4 extra. I suppose this place might be better during an off peak sporting event to sit and have a couple of beers and hang out but I probably wouldnt go back.

Answer:
From behind the scene! I am not a scorned "fired" employee. I worked there for a week! I left on my own! My name is Elizabeth! I'm a animal lover and not afraid of telling my story of working here. i was absolutely disgusted!! I've been a groomer since 2006! I applied with Terry (the owner) and got the job before I even did my "test groom". Terry called me in to do a test groom on Sunday July 28th as soon as I walked in her salon "Bow Wow" the odor was pretty bad! The ammonia smell and musty smell was pretty bad. Let me tell you why. Besides the fact she has carpet at the front door ..that fur pups will mark she uses them in the kennels as well. How often do they get cleaned you ask?? I was there a week and didn't see any cleaning of them. We the groomers wash the dogs with a pesticide pump up sprayer she mixes her "secret ingredient" shampoo of woolite (yes laundry detergent) and dawn (dish washing soap). I went to "Ryan's pet supply" and got more "pet friendly" shampoo and conditioner to use the week I was there. I refuse to us the towels. When we are done using our towels we hang them on the clothesline in the back room to "reuse" on the next dog. No we don't wash them, I'm pretty sure we have all done it..forgot a load of laundry in the wash forgot to put in in the dryer and the stench of the clothes...that's the smell of the reused towels!! Also if you tipped your groomer when Terry (the owner) was there.. Well good 90% chance your groomer didn't get it!!! I heard it from every groomer she has pocketed tips. Seen it with my own eyes on my last day. Heard if you say anything to her she will just deny it. So why bother since I was leaving anyways! I am writing this review as a animal lover. Previous employee of this company I would not trust with my personal dogs. Oh I didn't mention holding the dogs by the ears (request client dog) and pulling her personal dogs out of the kennel by their ears because she doesn't "spoil her dogs" she's a breeder 30+ standard poodle plus mixed breeds seen "oops" pregnancy yea it's all about the money dog business for her. She is also the owner of "shear ecstasy" !
