A: Last summer, I bought a gorgeous fuschia Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag at Nordstrom that I just couldn't pass up. I took this bag with me everywhere. It went with me on my first trips to New York City, Boston and Chicago. It got rained on, snowed on and bleached from daily exposure to Texas sun, heat and humidity. It collected denim dye from every pair of jeans I own. It got tossed in drawers at work, bumped against walls and people, dragged through airport x-rays. It was, sadly to say, no longer the fabulous dream purse it was when we first met at the in Dallas. I was sad. If it had feelings, it would have been sad, too. I took it to my favorite shoe cobbler in Vegas, who estimated over $100 to re-dye it. To me, $100 is a lot of money to spend on a purse I already spent more than $400 just to buy, so I put my purse back in its dust bag (a lot of good that does) and went home. Then I found this place. It's a little out of the way for me, but as of today, I think it's absolutely worth it. I took my fuschia bag and another well-loved, 5-year-old ivory Marc Jacobs purse to see if I could get them restored to decent condition. The price for dyeing one bag, cleaning stains off the other and putting new heel tips on a pair of pumps came out to just over $100. Really? All of that for $100? I left a little nervous, and came back today filled with anxiety. As soon as I was handed my bags, I couldn't believe my eyes. Those gorgeous, brand-new looking handbags are MINE? I can't say enough about this place, except the work is amazing and affordable. They have a bunch of services listed on their website, so you can bring clothes that need tailoring and shoes that need repair all to one place. I love awesome little places like this!

Q: negative

A: My wife and I want to Geno's because our usual (and favorite place) Venezia's was packed. To be honest, we should have waited at Venezia's. We each had a slice and split the Greek Salad. The pizza was horrible, reminded me school lunch pizza. The dough at Geno's tasted frozen and looked unappetizing when I lifted up to look at the bottom. We will not be back and wouldn't recommend this place to others.

Q: negative

A: Being generous considering we found two bugs. The beds are comfy, staff is a little pushy on hotel promotions, not the cleanest but not the dirtiest.

Q: negative

A:
All I have to say is no. You should just cook at home because at Toby's you will practically serve your self!
