Problem: The service is horrible... the drivers have terrible attitudes and they do not conduct business in a professional manner. By the way if you get bus 2054 and a driver by the name JD Samuel he is the worst.... do not book them for your shuttle needs. As they do not handle the situations at hand even after you've called superiors.

Problem: Good luck working with this guy if you're looking for property management services. I've been trying to see a property for rent listed online for the past week with no luck. The last text I sent to him was asking him if he has any intent on contacting me back regarding seeing the property in person or not, this was at 3 in the afternoon after not hearing from him after I both called and text him 3 days prior, he returned my text at 10:45PM STILL not offering to show the property. I gave up, poor communication and follow through, maybe he's better at selling property instead. I hope the owner of the property on Del Rio Ln in Avondale reads this and knows that he's not following through on possible tenants for your rental.

Problem: Let me start off by saying that first, great location, right off the Roosevelt and Central Light Rail Stop and the newly opened bar area is nice and roomy and they have an amazing Schneider Weiss on draft. Those in my party who drank beer agreed that it was amazing. Now, on to the rest of the evening. I realize the place is small and independently owned but the meal started with confusion over the menus in that for some reason some people in my party got the dinner menu, others seemed to get the bar menu, so we had to get that straightened out. Overall, not a huge deal but indicative of the overall evening. Next, we ordered drinks. I like to try new cocktails and so myself and someone else in the party ordered them (the same one for both of us) and the rest of the party was wine and a beer. Here we go into a pet peeve of mine, the drinks took a long time to get to the table. The whole table was talking about it by the time they arrived. In addition, the cocktails, and I guess I did learn something from attending cocktail week seminars earlier this year because they were completely off balance. They had tarragon and it overwhelmed everything else in the drink and the drink was overly sour and needed more simply syrup to balance things out. My friend, who always drinks his cocktail, wouldn't finish the drink it was so out of kilter. Next, we ordered some appetizers, the prosciutto wrapped mushrooms and hot olives from the bar menu. We had five people at the table and the waitress brought four mushrooms, and they were somewhat dry, and served with a bowl of some sort of tarragon cream sauce that was completely out of size with the rest of the app. I realize they may need to charge more but if there are five people, ask them if they want an extra one so everyone can have their own. As for the hot olives, I usually love those, but they should be served with pits in, not pitted, for maximum flavor and nibbling the meat off the pit is part of the experience. The pitted olives, frankly blah. Maybe I'm not cultured enough but I've never, ever had hot pitted olives before. Next, I decided to try the Hamburg mussels, which came in a cream sauce with, I believe, sliced shiitaki mushrooms. Good mussels but lacked taste and possibly more salt? All I can say is I like mussels and I was distinctly underwhelmed by this dish. Next, main course and I had the rack of lamb, which was not half bad but it came with a stack of waffles with some sort syrup and though the waiter, I believe, mentioned they were cheese waffles of some sort, they tasted like waffles and didn't seem to go all that well with the lamb. However, the side dish of risotto with crumbled chorizo was tasty. I know, my fault, I should have read what came with the lamb but never thought of waffles. If I may be so bold, since the risotto is a starch, how about some veggies on the side? I finished the meal off with a coffee which was okay but as with much of my meal, it was underwhelming as opposed to say, the coffee at Chelsea's Corner, which is exceptional. At the end of the meal, we discussed the stars and though I hate to give two stars, the meal experience relative to the cost, two stars. I hope the owners read Yelp reviews and work on it because I want to like this place, I really do and I want to try it again. They have a lovely bar area and a charming setting and right off the rail and hey, next time with my German wheat beer, I'll try the pizza. Call me ever hopeful but I want to see this place get better.

Problem: My first and likely last visit at this local meat market ( I mean bar). The only reason I went was out of curiosity and a free drink or appetizer for yelp check in. If you are single, 40's and enjoy a place where you have to scream at someone who is 2 feet away so they can hear you, enjoy lounge entertainment, this may be the place for you. I do have to say the waitresses are super cute and there outfits are very easy on the eyes. I had the dirty martini with blue cheese olives ( you have to ask for those) It was not dirty at all, so she brought me some olive juice which I shared with another patron. The mushroom and tenderloin flatbread was tasty. The shrimp martini tasted processed, chicken on a stick and tuna was disgusting and were sent back. So, 1 out of 4 appetizers hit the mark? I prefer 3 or 4 out of 4. On a positive note, the mango mojito martini was VERY GOOD. That would be the only thing to bring me back. If you go, I hope your experience was better than mine. Or and one more thing.... Valet parking for $6 bucks for a center that has only a handful of shops open?? SUCK IT! I will drive a block if I have to rather than get !@#^ in the a$$ by paying some douche canoe to park my car when the place is empty. Cheers...
