A: Two weeks of the same one trick pony yoga. I don't see the point in returning here. All classes are the same with very little personal attention to people who are not doing the poses correctly. Very cultish - if you are not part of the gang, they basically ignore you. In two weeks I never receive a hello or an how are you doing today. The place is often too crowded and they don't always ask that you stagger so people run into one another. Music is too loud to hear the person leading the practice. One of the teacher was way more interested in reading his PDA than watching the class - how impersonal is that! Large dog met me with a growl at the entrance so I gave her a wide berth. I was told the dog never does that usually yet I witnessed her reacting the same way to many others who were told the same thing I was... If you like bootcamp atmosphere where you don't matter, where what you wear seems more important than who you are, this is the place for you. Just not for me.

Q: negative

A: Terrible theater! Overpriced snacks (you know it's disgusting when they have the nerve to charge 4 dollars and change for bottled water), dirty floors and bland staff. The only bright spot is the bathroom.

Q: positive

A: Hands down best Thai food I have had. You have to order the chicken pad thai inch special--gives you a ton of food for just $7. Highly recommend this place but get there early because it fills up fast!

Q: positive

A:
Haha, came to review this place and realized I reviewed it four years ago, when I ate the admittedly boring student prix-fixe. Hopefully they don't do that anymore. Since then I move to Stockholm and then New York City. I was back in the area for a few days and decided to try Bacaro again. It was really very good. Yes, despite the fact that there is a lot of mediocre food in the area, it's not the area's fault. Champaign-Urbana has fantastic terroir. There are many producers nearby making food that is world-class and Bacaro uses these ingredients to great effect. I LOVED the goat cheese salad and my rich creamy risotto. Fried sweetbreads were luscious. My boyfriend's chicken with chicken liver was delicious. I guess the only complaint is that the prices here are the same as in NYC...
