A: Visited this place during a blizzard which proved to be a smart move as parking was great and the place was half empty. The most impressive thing? Our appointment at 7 PM was actually respected! (PF Chang LAVAL, I'm looking at you!) Like the Laval location, esthetically the place is very chic and warm. Once our congregation of friends all arrived, we started our order process... or lack thereof. I'm unsure if the staff was limited on this night but once again we were on the receiving end of some real poor service. We order our drinks and they come half an hour later. Does a few sodas and some warm sake make it acceptable to wait this long? Eventually we got served our drinks and we quickly ordered our plates, I took the much promoted chicken in lettuce wraps and the legendary Mongolian beef. The appetizers arrived relatively quickly (thankfully!) and since I was hungry enough to eat an Ethiopian child, I tore into the chicken in lettuce wraps.... only to be quite disappointed that the chicken was actually pretty bland and the lettuce leaves still relatively soaking in water. Neither I nor my wife were able to finish this. We waited for our mains. The warm sake was shared between my friend and I and as always hit the spot after enduring the Canadian winter outside. Afterwards, we waited well over 45 minutes to receive our plates and they did the biggest taboo, serve us 5 of our 6 main meals. We looked at each other apprehensively as we waited for his plate to come. 2 minutes later my friend encouraged us to dig in... what a charitable soul... watching us eat our meals while he waited almost 10 more minutes for his meal, that had been "forgotten". Really? Let's discuss the legendary Mongolian beef... so... what happened to it? Why was the portion already smaller than the portion served at another location that was small enough as it is? Also, let's chill on the salt folks. I recognize this isn't a buffet styled place but for $20, I'd like a decent sized plate, preferably not being drenched in salt. Lots of water was drunk. I didn't opt for a dessert and I settled for filtered coffee since the barista couldn't work the broken espresso/cappuccino machine tonight. Great! In the end I ended up with nasty filtered coffee that I couldn't drink more than 2 sips. Not wasting calories on this. The service all night was lamentable, slow and at times impatient to downright rude (waiter said a snappy comment to one of the ladies at our table). On a special note, the price tag is ridiculous for at best average food. How can I pay close to $90 (taxes in) for two and still leave wanting more? I started thinking. This is bad. Was the place half empty on a Saturday night because of the b blizzard outside or the reputation of this place is finally catching up to it? Reviews on Yelp are very hit and miss... well add me to the miss list. There are better options out there and I won't be back, at least specifically at this location.

Answer: I have gone to Sears Auto Center around the valley for years because their prices can't be beat on oil changes. I finally have learned you get what you pay for. I've unfortunately had to have more than oil changes done in the last year. In my most recent visit, I had to wait an hour to get checked in. I was the 3rd person in line and they had already been open for an hour. They called in extra help and that gentleman was the person who checked me in. As I knew the repairs would take awhile I coordinated my salon appointment with my car work. I was late to my appointment. The gentleman called to tell me the oil change was done and that yes indeed I need the repairs I told him I needed, plus a little more. I asked him how much it would be and he said he didn't know he'd have to call back with an estimate. Who doesn't have an estimate ready when they call to advise more work is needed? Well then he called back with an estimate and it didn't include the work already done, so I asked him for a grand total. I agreed to the extra repairs and when I got to pick up my car the total came to almost $250 more than what I was quoted. The first person who tried to check me out said there was nothing they could do I had to pay the higher amount and come back to ask for a refund. Well I stood my ground because frankly I never would have agreed to the more expensive amount, and it wasn't the price I was quoted. Half an hour later a third gentleman was able to get me checked out at the price I was quoted. Until they can get staff in there that can do the job efficiently and accurately I will not be bringing my business back. (I have spent thousands of dollars to this company over the last year and I wonder how often I was overpaying/misquoted.)

Output: usually mirabelle is unbelievably good, but DON'T GO ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON! my chocolate croissant was incredibly stale and old, and being in the warming tray made it really crispy. too buttery, too (and believe me, i love butter). the staff don't seem to have the right attitude either, the music was all wrong and the girl who helped me wasn't the right kind of snobby. i'm still giving it a four because they have the best chocolate chip cookies i've ever tasted, and in the morning their bread is delicious

output: 115 reviews! You have got to be kidding me? A small restaurant in a strip mall? Next to a cheap theater? Limited parking? Worth every minute you have to wait to be seated. Although the wonderful aromas while you are waiting might just be the last of your heart's desire.My tummy starts rumbling and I get hungry all over again just thinking about it. I doubt there is anything on this menu that isn't extraordinarily good. If you like authentic Thai food, this is the place. Go, but go early.
Q: positive

A:
A few weeks after I became a homeowner, a friend of mine asked my how many Home Depot runs have I made. What a great question. The answer: Way too many. Since I purchased my house, I have had countless projects and little tasks I've needed to take care of. This store gets most of my business since it's the closest hardware store to desert ridge. And I'm glad it is. It's a great place to shop. There's always a free employee wondering around that will drop whatever he or she is doing to help me out. They always tell me that the more expensive item is better, but show me the cheaper items that meet my needs (and that's the one I almost always walk away with). They also know how to translate my 'I don't really know the proper way to tell you what I need, because I'm a novice at all this stuff' speak, and make sure that I leave with the right materials that I need to get my job done.
