A: We invited Extreme Decks to give us an estimate on rebuilding the wooden part of our front stoop. Given the historical nature of the existing structure, we explained that we wanted them to remove and replace only the rotted support posts and to leave a decorative upper portion in place. Several weeks later the team chose to work on this project when I could not be at home. That was great because it got the project done faster. However, due to poor communication amongst the team, much that should have stayed in place was removed. After several phone calls, they came out the next day to reinstall the upper portion. I put a check in the mail to them the next day, as soon as we had seen the finished stoop. The final result was still not exactly what I had requested, but I was satisfied with this outcome until several weeks later when owner Aaron Karas contacted me to say that he had not received our check. I told him that it had been mailed and he said that he would check another location where it could have been put. I asked him to let me know right away if that did not resolve the issue. More than a week later Aaron called to say that he had not located the check. He wanted to pick up cash the next day. I told him that this was not possible, but that I would cancel the original check and get him a new one right away. This caused him to raise his voice and to use a tone that made me feel unsafe. He made several points: -That this was a cash job to begin with (It was not. For safety reasons, I never hire contractors who require cash.) -That all of this could have been avoided if I had just left the cash on our stoop for him on the day the work was done, as allegedly requested (I think it's likely that had I done that, the original incorrect work would never have been corrected.) -That I was giving him the "run around" by not agreeing to have him stop by my workplace the next day to retrieve a cash payment I do realize that it may have seemed to him that we did not intend to pay him and that the time that had passed could have made it feel urgent to him. However, I cannot recommend a contractor who has made his customer feel threatened.

A: I was here over the weekend and I already miss the food. We had reservations, so there was no wait. Our servers were attentive and friendly, and the food was AMAZING! Everything we had was really fresh and cooked just right. I have no complaints. Our bill came out to be $240.00 including tax and tip for a party of 3 (no alcohol). Well worth it for and great dining experience. I can't wait to go back! Some recommendations: Steam Clams with Sake Uni and Seaweed Soup Kobe Beef Filet with Wasabi Robata Kobe Beef Skirt with Garlic Robata Enoki Mushroom Wrapped with Bacon Bite Size Foie Gras Bowl Fluffy Cheesecake

A: I'm sorry to be the first to really criticize this place....but it really was not good at all. I understand that it is a non profit place and it's there to help people, and that is why I gave it 2 stars instead of one. The BF and I went here this morning to get our coffee fix and to try it for the coffee tour of phoenix! It was a huge disappointment. I ordered an iced latte and he ordered a hot latte. The hot latte had no foam. Both lattes had a very strange flavor. We had both asked for 2% milk, but it tasted like she used half and half? or a milk substitute? It had a weird 'fake' quality about it. Further, the coffee was just about nonexistent. It was like when I was a kid and my mom would put a teaspoon of coffee in my milk because I liked the flavor.... not what I'm looking for at a coffee place and not what we paid 4$ a drink for. We both ended up throwing away over half of our drinks because they were so bad. The place has a cute look, but I will never be back. Ugh. PS It may be immature but I think it's funny that they have signs all around with their shortened name 'cok' heh. heh.

The M Resort is a "Must Visit Spot" whenever I find myself in Vegas! What's not to love?? It's new, clean, fresh, beautiful! And did I mention they have windows? Yes, that's right windows, natural light! The M is especially beautiful during the holidays- their decorations are warm and lovely! Makes me proud and happy to loose my money! The buffet is sooo worth the line!! I mean they have hummas! Hummas! Oh, and windows with a view! And on the TVs it's all Food Network, all day! Can I move in and live at the buffet? Please? If you remember only one thing from this review, I wish it to be this: PLEASE go sign up for a Players Card! It's FREE and comes with awesome goodies and freebies!
