A: Please do yourself a favor and pass on this sterile generic pretend Chinese restaurant. I have been throwing up ever since I got home. I was poisoned by their old seafood. To top off a totally forgetable experience, after I ordered and tried to eat my marginal meal, they wouldn't even honor my coupon. I will never eat at this place again . . .once I get over my food poisoning. I can honestly say, Ambiance = non-existent, food = poisoned me, service = a horrible. Please please please go to somewhere where they don't try to kill you.

A: I've been here a couple times and never thought to leave a review because it really is just your basic Starbucks. I love the ambience and location of this one though. It is convenient and the brick walls give off an urban feel. Here is why this location receives one star: A couple weeks ago, I was getting off work. I worked 10 hours on set that day, directing a video shoot. Like most of my days, it doesn't end right after work so I stopped at this location for my usual iced Americano. This is my order "A grande iced Americano with no room". This may seem like i'm being petty but the barista gave me an American which was, I kid you not, 3/4 full. No room means, literally no room because I don't add anything to it. And I understand, that maybe she heard "extra room" instead of "no room" so politely I let her know that I asked for no room. She goes, "do you want more ice?" WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THIS. Of course I do not want more ice, the point of "no room" is for "more coffee". So I said, 'No I'd like more coffee please'. And she rudely grabs my cup, huffs at me and adds a fuck ton of ice . A FUCK TON. So much so that the lid does not close on my drink, which means my straw also does not fit in my drink. She slides this insult of a drink towards me and walks away. Since I was already tired that day, and irritated with this barista's horrible customer service, I grabbed the drink took it outside and dumped out the ice. I'm not usually one for negative reviews but I'm a firm believer in good customer service and this location did not offer it. Just thought I'd give future customers a heads up.

Q: negative

A: Well...I am not sure where to start. Dinner at Prime Bar was quite possibly the worst dinner I have ever had. The atmosphere is just so so...really just a big room full of tables and TV's. The staff was pleasant but it went downhill from there. We ordered dinner which consisted of beet salad, bone-in rib eye and scallops with polenta. We also asked for some bread. We were busy chatting over a glass of wine (horribly mediocre selection) and did not realize how long the arrival of the bread was taking, but then to our surprise ever thing arrived AT ONCE. Bread you could buy at a grocery store, wilty beet salad with perhaps 3 beets. The scallops were cold and the rib eye ordered medium rare was totally rare and covered in a strange cold sauce. Even the dessert was lame...some "blondie sundae" that needed sauce on top instead of the very bottom of the serving dish. My last comment is a bit odd, but here it goes...the straws in the water glasses are 1/2 inch too short for the glass so you have to reach your fingers into your drink to get the straw out. They did comp most of the meal but since I only ate the salad because i was starving I don't feel too bad. Two of my friends warned me before I went to Prime Bar....I wished I had listened!

A:
Good chips and salsa is about all the positive I have to say about Manuel's on this visit. The food quality was lacking - oversalted and grisley steak, greasy quesadilla my daughter rung out before eating and wilted lettuce strewn about the plates. All of the prices are REALLY high for the quality of the food and it seems like there are NO more affordable options. Even the kids menu is high ($5.50 plus extra for juice) and their emphatic NO SUBSTITUTIONS is frustrating. The happy hour menu looks more promising but for a Family, it's a NO THANK YOU. Sadly we won't be back to Manuel's any time soon.
