A: Massively disappointing. The only thing tastefully done here was the decor, although someone forgot to think about the acoustics of a large, open room filled with metal and wood - don't expect to hear anyone except the person right next to you, and that's only if they're leaning in. The service was terrible - the only person who even remotely approached a good mood was the bus person, the waiter being the worst of all. And the food - oh the food. There's a reason this place is known for its "you have to see it to believe it" portion size; that's all it has going for it. I had the Original HH Benedict, or something I now refer to as disappointment on a plate - smoked bacon, spinach, tomato slices, covered in a roasted red pepper cream, served on a biscuit over mashed potatoes. Sounds delicious enough, but the reality was just awful, beginning with the tree branch sized rosemary sprig planted in the middle of my benedict dish. Why put something on the plate that I can't eat? Buried in the eggs was also some red colored branches that resembled lobster antennae. Again - not edible, and this is buried IN my food. The bacon was paper thin, definitely NOT smoked and quite frankly, I can get better quality from Hormel. The tomato slices weren't quite ripe so they were tough and lacking in any kind of tomato flavor, although the smothering of red pepper cream would've effectively killed any kind of flavor had it existed. Speaking of the red pepper cream - it tasted like it came out of a jar and my plate was literally covered in it. The smattering of raw spinach leaves was a pointless addition; the dish would've been just as hideous without them and it made no sense in even the concept of this plate to throw them on there untreated. The biscuit tasted like raw white flour and baking powder though the texture was quite nice. The only redeeming thing on the plate was the mashed potatoes, but by no means would I ever suggest a trip to this restaurant for mashed potatoes. Actually, I wouldn't suggest a trip here period.

Q: negative

A: Worst place I have ever been to. The service makes dicks last resort look like a welcoming committee. I have felt more welcome with monkeys flinging poo at me at the zoo. Some people shouldn't be bartenders.... Some people should live in the mountains. Save your money and throw it on the floor because they will take your order, give you something else and blame it on you. Once upon a time... I wanted a drink... then I came here. I'd rather be Mormon!

Q: positive

A: I booked a cut/color/highlight after purchasing a Groupon. Usually, I look up reviews of the place of business before purchasing, but did not do so this time, as the salon was close by and I needed something done quickly. My first pleasant surprise was the ability to book my appointment online. EVERY business should do this! The salon's online appointment system is simple to use, and pretty fool proof. I loved that I didn't have to stop what I was doing to make a call, wait for an answer, then go through my calendar with someone over the phone. This was quick - look at what they have available, pick my time, BOOM, done! Love it. When I arrived for my appointment, I was a little surprised to find that it was in the "Signature Salon" building, which I have passed literally hundreds of times over the past several years, but never knew what it was about. Kim's salon room was easy to find, tidy, and very comfortable. As we began our consultation, I was thrilled to hear that SHE was happy with what I wanted. I love going red with color, and so many colorists balk at that, thinking I don't know what I really want. Kim not only loved the idea, but also was able to flip right to the correct shade after she took a look at my skin tone and gauged my natural color against what I was asking for. As for the process itself, she did it perfectly. She was very thorough, which is unusual in and of itself. I've been getting my hair done in various salons for many many years, and I don't think anyone has ever been so thorough. I liked that she combed the base color all over, because people usually miss the hair by my temples, which is the only place I have gray hair. As for the woman herself, she was very sweet and kind, not overbearing, not pushy. She wasn't "too" chatty, as many stylists can be, but definitely showed an interest and kept the conversation flowing. I liked her business model, and she definitely has some great ideas to keep up with current trends, both in hair styling AND as a businesswoman. Frankly, I can't say enough good things. My hair looks fabulous, I feel awesome, and I'm thrilled to have found a local, independent business that I can continue to support. Go see her, you won't be disappointed!

Q: negative

A:
Very diappointing and definately not up to par with the other top buffets in town. I went with every high expectations and had heard a lot of great things about it. I got there and it was 46 dollars basically the same price as the bacchanal buffet which is amazing so i immediately upped my expectations. I got in and the assortment was in no comparison to the bacchanal buffet . The food was old and nothing was fresh except the mexican section. The crabs were not King crabs they were snow crabs and they were gritty with not much meat in them. Overall the food was mediocre and nothing stood out as special that made me wanna go back. The gelato was very good but not enough to make me come back. I will never go to this buffet over the bacchanal buffet.
