Q: positive

A: Have I really never written a review of Merchant? I've been here at least 5 times, the most recent being a week ago, and Merchant never disappoints! First and foremost, Merchant has great mixologists. Their cocktails are unique and delicious. Secondly, the head chef totally knows what he's doing with the farm-to-table concept. I've tried everything from bone marrow, bison tartare, cheese and meat plates, flat breads, salads, and fish. Everything is always delicious. Never a complaint from me! Check out their Facebook page for daily specials. The other day, I found out the offer half price bottles of wine on Wednesdays, and they always post amazing pictures of their food.

Q: positive

A: Very solid gym, new equipment and clean. They were very cool about getting me in there even though my membership was in Texas. No basketball court though.

Q: negative

A: I brought some friends over, and the food was just awful. The "Pigs" and "Beef" sandwiches we got were lackluster, bland, and slathered in a awful bbq sauce. The worst part? My potato salad tasted "off." (My boyfriend tried it as well.) I exchanged it at the counter for some fries. We overheard an employee say, "Wow, we get that a lot. We should really put dates on these things." GROSS GROSS GROSS.

Q: negative

A:
Their website mentions that "all of their washes are 100% hand washed". I visited the location on Litchfield and Indian School. I ordered a mid-priced wash. I noticed that my truck was heading into a tunnel and scrubber like the one mentioned below. This text was taken from their website as of 4/8/14. "All of our washes are 100% hand wash. We do not have any equipment that touches the vehicle inside our tunnel. We use lamb wool mitts to soap up the vehicle and our conveyor belt allows the vehicles to glide through on our track". "The Classic Car Spa 100% HAND CAR WASH concept grew out of a desire to provide a very clean car wash and to do it with care. The process allows for an exceptional wash and eliminates the problems caused by the rough scrubbing of heavy equipment and high pressure impellers". I find the website to be misleading. I wont be going to this car wash anymore. I didn't go to this location because it's inexpensive,I went to this location because I thought I was going to get a hand wash. I will tell everyone I know to stay away from this place. If I could give them -stars I would.
