Sentiment analysis: After reading some of the great reviews, we were really looking forward to this place. Unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. First, it was 90 degrees in Montreal and this restaurant had no AC. It was sweltering and sweat was pouring off of all of us as we waited for our food. The service was terribly slow--in fact another customer ended up giving us his menu when he realized we had been seated, but had not been visited by our waiter. Normally with service this slow, I would have walked out, but the promise of delicious dumplings kept me from leaving. Finally our order arrived and my boyfriend and I just stared at it. The pan fried dumplings we had been waiting all day to try were stuck together and burned. We took a couple of bites and the taste just wasn't right. It was bland and dry. My recommendation, visit Oh Dumpling just a block away. It's a much better experience.

Sentiment analysis: This year - 2012 - was my first Noche de Gourmet event! The 29th Annual Event. This year it was, once again (according to Gabi's 2008 review) extremely well organized and this year, once again, held at the Wrigley Mansion. I once heard that guys in their 20s & 30s were still trying to find themselves . . . don't believe it if the Phoenix 20/30 Club membership is any indication. These guys were absolutely on task, prepared and super organized. I've attended a lot of large events and they usually all have a few snafus that should not have happened. The only snafu all evening was that it rained for 5 minutes. And I don't think the 20/30 Club could have predicted or controlled the small change in the weather. Besides it cooled everything off nicely (maybe it was planned too?) and cleared the night sky. The night view from the Wrigley Mansion was a sea of twinkling city lights. Food was fantastic, drinks were wonderful, and the music made you want to take your shoes off and dance. What a great fundraising event for the Children in Need Foundation - (www.cinfaz.org) Trivia: Did you know the 20/30 Club was founded by Barry Goldwater? If you get an opportunity to attend the 30th Noche de Gourmet in 2013, don't pass it up! It will be an evening of fond memories!

Sentiment analysis: Slows service, 25 minutes for 1 bagel... And while I waited got a nice view of behind the counter, which was disgusting. Next tome I'll go the extra four blocks to the Nosh. Better bagel anyway!
