Q: I was so relieved when I walked into Leopold's and met Sarah. Being pregnant with your first child and planning a destination wedding is not easy, let me tell you! But Sarah was so sweet and excited for my husband and I that we felt 100% at ease trusting them to make our simple wedding cake. We came in about three and half months before our wedding to have a cake tasting. We showed her a picture of the design we wanted (a small to medium sized three tiered cake with a few succulents surrounded by smaller flowers) The only concerned Sarah expressed was "capturing the velvety texture of the succulents. We can make them, but they might come out looking waxy and fake. Also succulents those size might end up costing about fifty bucks each. The smaller flowers are fine though." She suggested we get succulents from the florist she was using for her own wedding. We were so happy with our consultation that WE PAID FOR OUR CAKE THAT DAY IN CASH, including the extra fee for having our cake delivered to the Cosmopolitan. We asked for a 3:00pm delivery just in case we couldn't put the cake in the fridge in our hotel suite to prevent the buttercream frosting from melting. All in all, we eneded up happily paying about $400 and walked out the door. I ended up shipping some pretty artificial succulents to my mother-in-law who dropped them off at the bakery about a week before the wedding. The big day finally arrives and we have problems checking in to our hotel which is booked to capacity and not offering early check-in. The front desk says we might not be able to check in until 3:00pm! I jam over to the bakery around 11:00am to ask if our cake could be delivered at 3:30pm instead of 3:00pm. Sarah says our cake is already on a delivery truck! I asked her if the cake was still on-time for the agreed upon 3:00pm delivery and she says YES. She takes down our cell phone numbers so the delivery guy can keep in contact with us if he has any questions. We luck out around 12:30pm and the hotel calls to say our room is ready. As we're pulling into the parking structure around 1:00pm, my husband receives a call from the delivery guy saying he's waiting for us! We rush to park the car, check in, run up to the room to drop off our stuff (keep in mind that i'm pregnant!) while the driver goes to deliver other cakes. We get another call 22 minutes later and my husband runs downstairs meet the delivery guy. When I see the cake, my heart is broken. The only thing on the cake are the succulents I BOUGHT and buttercream frosting. It looks nothing like what we asked and paid for. There was even a picture to reference in our order! My problem is, if I hadn't have bought the succulents, there would have been NOTHING on the cake. What the hell did we pay almost $400 dollars for!? What an absolute rip off and disappointment! And to add insult to injury, somebody quietly asked my mother-in-law if we bought a frozen cake. At the end of the night, the cake was hardly touched. How much more effin' embarassing could this possibly get? I emailed the bakery a few days later telling them what happened and offering a chance for them to rectify the situation before I posted this review. I've been waiting a week for a response.

Q: We went to Toque on Sat. (Nov. 23). The food was very good. However, the service was horrendously poor for fine dining. Let's count the problems... Upon being seated, we were asked for drink orders. They do not have a cocktail menu, which is fine. But because of this, I decided I would have a good tequila. When I asked the waiter what tequilas they had, he responded 'Cuervo.' It was a big red flag that the waiter was unaware of what liquors they have at the bar. So I went to the bar and saw they also had Patron. But that's not great either, so I looked at the scotch. When I returned to my seat, I ordered a scotch, but then the wrong one was brought out. I finally received my drink. My girlfriend asked if they had a particular scotch, and was told they did not. When she requested to see the scotch list, she immediately noted they did have what she had asked for. I ordered the lamb loin. About 5 minutes later the waiter returned to inform me that they ran out, so I could have rack of lamb. My girlfriend has food allergies, and had to ask the waiter several times to check with the chef whether particular menu items would be safe for her. On one occasion, the waiter told her it would be okay. She asked him to double check, and he returned to say that she could not eat that particular item (a sauce). As I noted at the beginning, the food was good. But even with good service, it would be over-priced. In any case, it isn't worth the hassle. The service was simply terrible. Try a restaurant where they train the servers on the bar and menu. I will never return here again. Because of service and price, I give it 1 star. If the service was good, I would have given it 3.

Q: I visited this place on the advice of the Yelpers, and it was lovely. I hadn't had time to make a reservation and they were completely gracious about it and squeezed us in. Sitting outside on the back patio is really lovely, as it really does feel like a little oasis. I had the red curry, which was excellent. Spiced perfectly and the vegetables were just cooked enough, but not mushy. The jasmine rice was also well prepared (I loathe mushy rice). I also had the spring roll, which was easily the best spring roll I ever had, with the balance of cilantro and basil perfectly complimenting the noodles and vegetables. The dipping sauce was also light, without veering into sickly sweet territory. My husband had the noodle curry which was AMAZING. I like my curry, but kept trying to steal his. Again, perfectly cooked vegetables and the rice noodles also weren't overcooked. However, Nicky's has only four levels of hotness--mild, medium, hot and thai hot. I ordered hot and my husband ordered medium, and his dish was easily as spicy as mine. Our two dinner companions ordered the chef special soft-shell crab, which I wasn't overly impressed with, but it wasn't bad, necessarily. The coating for the crab was a little greasy and a little soft. The wonton soup which everyone else ordered was very delicious. The broth was extremely flavorful and the wontons were so light and well seasoned. I could eat buckets and buckets of the stuff. They were quick to refill water glasses and attentive in their service. I wish I lived here so I could get takeout from here all the time. I would recommend for fresh, quick and extremely flavorful thai food.
