A: The only reason why I am giving this place 4 stars is because I could have slapped the hostess. Once again, I was put in the back with the loudest birthday party group possible because why? You guessed it, I had a baby. This irritates me beyond belief! From now on, I'm going to be a jerk about it. Anyway, to the important stuff. Despite the issue to the group next to us, the service and food were excellent! Melanie was our server and she did an outstanding job! My glass was never empty, I never had to ask for more drink, she kept the table clear of empty dishes, paid attention to details in our order, and always had a smile on her face. Why can't there be more servers like her?? The overall aesthetics of the place were very nice. It had Doric and ionic pillars for decorations, Italian themed paintings on the wall, and the lighting was just right. Not too bright, not too dim. My husband and I started off with the calamari. Even though it could have used a little bit more flavor, it was still very good. The horse radish sauce and marinara sauce were excellent choices to go along with the appetizer. Alongside the appetizer, a small loaf of precut bread (I think it had a little bit of rosemary in it) and this dipping sauce that was out of this world. I'm not a tomato fan, but this was great! It was an olive oil base dip that had sun dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and a few other things in it. I couldn't stop eating it! Caesar salad came next, I love it when restaurants put your salad on a chilled plate. The salad was very good and not too much as well. They had homemade croutons in the salad that tasted like they had parmesan cheese in it along with other flavors. They also didn't just give you a plate with a few leaves and all stalks. That was very nice. For our main course, I had the Chicken Scallopini. It was 2 chicken breast fillets lightly sauteed in olive oil topped with feta cheese, portobello mushroom, another kind of cheese, and a lemon, caper butter sauce. It was served with linguini on the side. Minus the too many capers, it was fantastic! I thought my chicken would be dry, but it was very juicy and full of flavor. My husband got the Frutta di Mare. This thing was loaded with mussels and clams on the half shell. From what I saw, the seafood was on top of a bed of fettuccini and marinara sauce. He could not stop raving about it, so I am going to guess he liked his meal. For dessert, I got creme brulee and my husband got the chocolate chip bread pudding. FINALLY a restaurant that had creme brulee that isn't a 5 star restaurant. Nobody serves it anymore. Of course, I loved every minute of it, and so did my daughter. I think she ended up eating half of it! My husband was in love with his bread pudding. I'd never had a bread pudding with chocolate chips in it. It was quite tasty.

A: Waiting to come here for months. It is a Wednesday night at 720 and we are the only ones. Location: easy to find on Decatur at Spring Mountain Rs. Small amount of parking. Ambiance: a hole in the wall place with four booths , three tables for two each and one large table for eight. Total seating is 30. Small, basic and okay. Food - they have about 11 basic hot pots from beef, lamb, seafood, tomato and veggie, Korean Kim Chee, chicken, fish head, pork bone marrow, and a few others I did not jot down. We ordered chicken, beef, fish head and seafood. Spiciness- you can order for no spicy to very spicy! The kids went with Zero spice and I did medium. They have a dipping bar, canisters if spice and condiments to add to your soup. Flavors- the flavor of the hotpot we all enjoyed. Nice broth, not too strong and with all the bits already in it like cabbage, enoki mushroom, mushrooms and bean curd and tofu. Add in- you can order any items you like in a hot pot like Chinese cabbage, tofu, etc..... Prices for these add in are very inexpensive. I would caution you from adding too much as the hot pots do come with a lot automatically. Extra bits If you want grilled beef skewers or lamb skewers they have this. Or if you want grilled gizzards! Yummy! The best is chicken bones! Yep for 6.00 you can get the bone parts of the chicken with 90% of the meat stripped off. As a lover of bone meat I really enjoy the delicate morsels of meat left on a gone so this is something I am ordering the next time. It's is truly unique! The owners are very nice and our kids liked this very much. If they like it, it has to be good! I say 4 star. Oh and PS. as this is a Chinese restaurant, I did check the toilets to make sure they were the typical " not the cleanest in the world" and yep you can tell this is one authentic Chinese restaurant. The bathrooms were not award winning! GK says this place is great, check it out and I will be back. I will be the big guy gnawing on bones with no meat on them!

Q: negative

A:
DON NOT go see XD in this theatre. This theatre is one of the many of theatres in other city that's price gouging consumers due to the popular of 3D movies. You'll be charge $15 but doesn't guarantee you'l be in one of their big screen or smaller screen. If you must see a movie in 3D, there are some theatres like RAVE Motion that charges the 3d glasses separately from the ticket price. This means you are not being charge a one time premium price doesn't matter if you see matinee or not.
