I moved from another gym to Orange Fitness Theory because I thought I needed more structure and guidance, and the OFT adherents were so enthusiastic (nice folks, and staff nice folks also). I left for a number of reasons (have in the past stuck to longer-term programs, so not a perpetual quitter, but trying to find a regular club or program that works for me despite aging and some joint-related medical problems). If you have a job that has somewhat unpredictable hours, you may miss a class, and you will get charged for it. The classes have to be booked a couple days ahead of time, often, so you have to arrange and plan to be there and hope nothing happens to stop you from going. OFT is more one-size-fits-all than some other places, so it is best that you do what everyone else in your rotation group is doing for maximum benefit. This includes one of a small number of things in a small space: jogging or cycle machine, weight or gym-type exercises, or rowing, in a circuit. They do permit modifications, but you have to know which modifications. Sometimes a coach will help with this. I had leg surgery in my 20s, however, and one leg was shorter than the other - the OTF workouts, over a period of weeks, caused deep grinding hip socket pain that has not gone away even after stopping my attendance and trying lifts. Unfortunately "did something" in there, and I don't know how permanent this is. Since stopping, it is getting better, but only slowly. Their sign-up of "come to every workout for a month and get a free month" actually requires that you sign up for one more month after, so if OFT doesn't work out for you (like it didn't for me), you have to pay for another whole month of classes that you won't go to (in my case, then, I lost a total of roughly 300 bucks plus the fitbit-type thing you have to buy, which is also expensive, 60 bucks or so...). So....very pricey compared to some other places. They weren't nice about refunding because it was past the 3-day (!) grace period, so that is a lot of $ down the drain for me, for something that did not work out for valid medical reasons. The noise is incredible (screamy music top volume) and I could not hear the coaches' instructions very well at all over it despite the fact that they are shouting to be heard over it (like, I heard maybe 10% of the instructions). Never got used to this. In sum, due to the higher-impact intense workouts, the high cost, the extreme loudness, inflexible booking policy, and strict refusal to cancel your membership in a timely manner on medical grounds (!), **I would not recommend OTF to just anybody**. I think you have to meet certain criteria to do well here: you cannot have a condition that requires lower-impact exercise; you should ideally be extroverted, and not mind noise; you must not be on too tight of a budget; you must not have a job with unpredictable hours. I ended up looking for another place to work out. I advise paying for individual classes only for a while (I think they are plus or minus 20 a pop) and not "signing up" for anything after only taking one or two classes. And especially no membership and special fitbit thingie too soon into the game - just pay for a small number of individual classes for at least two months, borrow the wrist thingies they keep for guests, and make sure you can actually do OFT and know you will like it over a longer term before committing to something you cannot cancel. As for as those expensive fitbit wrist monitors, you can apparently sell them on ebay, but I haven't tried yet. Upshot: **Nice staff and adherents, good workout if your medical limitations allow higher intensity, make sure it's actually feasible for YOU PERSONALLY for a couple months BEFORE jumping into a pricey membership program you can't back out of immediately**.

What an excellent little pub! It had great beer and wine selection as well as a fantastic patio with views of the Truckee River. It is small, but very welcoming. The staff was friendly & let us try out some beers before we settled on one for a pitcher. Happy hour is from 5-7 PM here & gets you half off pitchers of beer and half off bottles of wine. We opted for multiple pitchers & the patio for copious amounts of sunshine & people watching. I'll definitely drink here again upon my return.

The worst customer service ever!!! Waited in line at sporting goods for 15 minutes while another department paged for a sales rep to sporting goods. Nobody showed. Called the store twice while waiting and no answer on the phone. It disconnected me after 30-40 rings each time I called. Thanks. I'll be shopping at TARGET from now on!

This place is really fun! They have loads of different options for food including ramen, sushi, empanadas, pizza and ice cream. And of course lots of drinks and wine! The Flower Power Empamama was a pretty good vegan option. The wait was not too long either, but I went on a Monday so weekends can get quite busy. Parking was not an issue as there is a large parking lot outside. Again, weekends are more busy and parking might be an issue. They have good vegan and vegetarian options at almost all booths. Seating is plentiful as well.

I got a guava and cheese pastry which was phenomenal and I also got a vanilla iced coffee which was super good and my sister got a caramel iced coffee and that was yummy too! Totally worth the trip. Really cute and overall nice atmosphere!

Tired of my old place I thought I would give this place a shot. I was a bit worried when I called for an appointment and they said they were walk in only. There ended up being three gentlemen ahead of me but I only waited about 10 minutes. I was pleasantly suprised. My styleist was pleasant and friendly. She took the time to understand just how short or long I wanted my hair and did a great job on the cut. Good enough to get a compliment from my wife. And despite getting the MVP was in and out pretty quick. Looking forward to going back again.

Just checked in twenty minutes ago and I'm immediately regretting my choice. Room is hot and old. $50 hold on my card like it's some fancy place. (Most hotels require a $25 hold) and then I was informed breakfast isn't complimentary in the morning. They have grab and go bags for a price. What a joke. Save yourself. Don't stay here

We've been to the Bronx Pizzeria twice now and have had a delivery. The food is first rate. We have lived in Reno since the late 70's, and have had a lot of local pizza. Bronx Pizzeria is the best we've had in all that time. The crust on the pizza is outstanding--artisan quality--thin, crisp, and flavorful--not the grease-soaked, limp underlayment of Bronx's somewhat similarly named competitor. Our favorite so far is one called White Plains, a pie with ricotta, mozzarella, and garlic. We have missed the garlic strips we used to get at Lakehouse Pizza in Tahoe City. No more--this is even better, especially when ordered with extra garlic (not advised if you plan on meeting anyone afterward). Another reviewer took issue with this. Can't understand that. I realize that as a new restaurant, there might be problems with getting new cooks up to speed, and maybe not everything is totally consistent person-to-person yet, but I just don't see a way to ruin this pie. Maybe they're so used to chain mediocrity that high quality, fresh ingredients seem foreign. Certainly different from all the processed, artificial, in-your-face flavors we've unfortunately been conditioned to tolerate. Also saw a couple of posts mentioning saving money at Costco (not bad, but not in this league) and Winco (are they kidding??? Probably couldn't appreciate the difference between a BMW and a Hyundai either). Try this place out. You will be impressed. Tell your friends--I really want this restaurant to make it. I feel as though I've finally reached the top of the mountain, and I don't want to have to come back down! BTW: as a clincher, finish with the spumoni.

Noticed this place as I left my hotel for a sales call. I liked the traditional-vibe it displayed vs. somewhere super pretentious and new. I came for dinner after a long work out and was ready to throw down: the cardinal roll, the salmon avocado roll, the spicy tempura shrimp appetizer, a garden salad with ginger dressing, and edamame in garlic sauce is what I ordered. Edamame with garlic sauce was unreal and the best edamame I've had! I wish more restaurants had tangy sauces and flavors for edamame. The garden salad was a huge salad for 4$ that you would've seen priced at close to 10$ many other places. What's the best part about a Japanese appetizer salad? The dressing! Well, pushing gives you a whole bowl of it on the side-very smart. The cardinal roll was mildly spicy and had lots of flavors between the tuna, tempura and scallions and was very unique and tasty. Salmon was thick and fresh in the other roll. Shrimp appetizer came piping hot and fresh. Staff was nice, restaurant was clean, and prices were attractive. Absolutely loved my meal

This restaurant has its pros and cons. The pros are the portion sizes are out of this world, where you will have extra food to take home. I had the Chaufa de Pollo, and it was realllllyyyy good. I took my family members to lunch, but they didn't have the best experience with their food, and I agreed with their comments once I tried their orders. The yuca con mojo needed more mojo. It was too dry and lacked flavor. In my opinion, the Ceviche needed to be marinated longer. Milanese de Pollo was too thin and lacked flavor in the seasoning. As for the service, it seemed like the staff were new and still getting accustomed to the menu. Service was kind of slow, but it's all a learning process. I am looking forward to trying this place again, as I couldn't try their dessert. They also have a vast menu, which I like because it mixes a little bit of everything.

Husband and I came in after getting off our cruise and waiting for our flight which was later in the day. We came on a Sunday mid-morning and it was packed BUT the wait was not bad at all. Despite the restaurant being super busy the staff were all super nice and welcoming. The food was AMAZING. Here's a tip----they have a half order option of the chicken and waffles. We both ordered the full before finding this out and couldn't even finish because it was so much but we tried because it was so good. We would have been just fine sharing one plate. The food comes out hot, fresh and sooooo good! The chicken is juicy and flavorful. Someone in that kitchen knows how to season some chicken. And whoever thought of strawberry butter?! Please let me franchise in Texas or something I need this food at least every week! We will be back next time we're in town!

I have been here before but have never been disappointed. Today I had the Maryland crab soup, which was a tad spicy but very flavorful. I coupled it with a strawberry salad which I loved to spiced pecans as it brought a little body to the salad. Note that the portions are not large so I had to go with the larger portions for dinner. The toffee that they give with the check is absolutely amazing.

Had a great time here with my four nieces and my son. The laser tag was fun! Pay attention to the video with instructions if it's your first time playing. The place was very clean and the staff was friendly.

If you're looking for a PHILLY cheesesteak, this is your place. Seriously. I usually stop by after my hair appointments (next door, Kurly Koils). I typically get their Philly cheesesteak with fries, of course. Also, their cheesecake Oreo balls *chef's kiss* whew! This meal always gives me what I need, that salty and sweet mix. The food is fresh! The employees usually cook the food as they get the orders, which I love! Because who doesn't like hot food? However, the employees are friendly and work quickly to get your food out. Overall, this is the best cheesesteak I've had in a while, better yet, in my life. Highly recommend.

Horrible, horrible experience. The only part that was actually good was test driving the vehicles. It was annoying that they had to go somewhere far to get the vehicles and I couldn't just look at them all side by side like most car lots are. The guys who did my sale did not know what they were talking about. The sales manager doesn't know how to do math and charged me more than he should have. The finance manager sent me a letter saying I had to bring my car in or it was going to get repossessed, then failed to return my phone calls when I called him about it. Then when I finally got ahold of him, he said it was a mistake and those letters weren't meant to be sent to "people like you." My car was detailed apparently, but looked like someone just smudged their fingers all over everything. It took so long to actually get to the end of the process that it was dark and raining when I left. This way, I couldn't see what terrible condition my "New" car was given to me in. There is a tear in the shifter, there is gashes inside the car, and scratches on the exterior. So much for a new car. I am appalled by my whole experience, but I do not have enough energy to see or hear these people ever again. I specifically tell my friends and family do not go here now, which is a shame because I actually went here after a good experience I had in the past. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have purchased my car from here.

Great little French cafe. Good selection of beer and food. The mussels are fantastic! Served with crunchy French bread and pomme frites. The bartender was very friendly. Great atmosphere. They play old French music. It feels like France in the 40's.

I'm so disappointed by Bryn and Danes. Their smoothies are *usually* good. The last time I went there, my boyfriend and I got the "Morning Joe" smoothie. We were both so sick the whole afternoon! I didn't even want to eat dinner that night because I was feeling so ill. Before that, I was there and got the Charleston Honey wrap with a black bean burger. This wrap comes with cucumbers. You would think that the cucumbers would be chopped up or in small slices, right? Wrong. On each half of my wrap there was a slice of cucumber that was an inch and a half thick. Like ... really? The time before that, I asked for a black bean burger in my wrap and still got chicken. I don't eat meat. Their salads are lackluster. Their sweet potato fries are hit or miss. Never had their breakfast so I'm not sure. I used to really love B&D. Won't go back ever again though.

The few times I've been here, I've been left wondering how the place really stays in business. I mean, it's not a bad place, but there is never really anyone in here. The staff is nice enough and there are always one or two "regulars" at the bar, but you would expect more on a Friday or Saturday night. While I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place, it's not bad if you are looking for a quiet place to have a beer and hang out.

Holy cow. Let me just open with - get the garlic bread. Best I've ever had. And the sausage ziti is amazing. Arrived by door dash hot and delicious. Order had extra bread, silverware and extra sauce. Everything I needed and tasted delicious!

Ordered a shrimp po boy, got chicken. Simple misunderstanding and asked to switch it out. Manager came by and said we would still be charged for the chicken despite us not taking a single bite. She justified this because I had touched half to move it to a smaller plate. Super lame of them and brings up food safety concerns. Why was the manager so intent on finding out it we touched the food unless she planned on recycling the food? Why not simply switch out the sandwich? To be clear, our server (1st day) was wonderful. The manager had an attitude that has no place in any business.

I just received my order and this pizza has none of the extra cheese or anything else i requested, is stone cold, and late. Don't order this pizza.

Really enjoyed brunch here if a couple girlfriends! Tea was great and they have quite the tea selection to choose from. Love the decor and design of this place. After brunch we were able to browse the bookstore inside the same building as well as all the unique items they have in their shop. Such a great hang out spot! Can't wait to find an excuse to go back.

I'm always wary of bright flashing lights but the campiness of "need to spice up your day....magical white sauce would help" (something like that) totally sold me. I've been here a couple times and ordered the falafel with pita. I was expecting a pita but was pleasantly surprised to learn how chewy (in a good way) and even a little seasoned the bread was and looking at another review, I don't think it is pita. Overall pretty good.

Always fresh and neatly merchandised. The staff is friendly and helpful every time I am in the store. Today Haas avocados were 2/1.50! I am in there at least once every other week to stock up.

This is hands down my favorite breakfast restaurant. Our server, John, provided EXCEPTIONAL service, and made it a very enjoyable experience for our large party. The customer service is always great, but John has been by far our favorite! Great food, family friendly atmosphere. We love Keke's.

We signed a contract with Latter & Blum PM to rent our our shotgun in New Orleans. We live out of state, so we were relying on them to find us a tenant. We decided on a rental amount and they agreed with it and then it basically just sat and sat on the market for months. They managed it from mid-January until mid-June and did not fill it. We had to ask them if we should lower the rent (we have no idea what the market is like at the moment since we live out of state), which seems like the sort of thing that the "professionals" should have been suggesting to us. We lost a lot of money with our property just sitting vacant . DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE OUT OF STATE AND CANNOT CHECK UP ON THEM.

Hands down, this is my favorite restaurant in the area. Add in the fact that it's entirely farm to table, I wish I could give it six stars. From the ambience, to the service, to the food, you will not be disappointed. Every meal is an experience, from start to finish. First time? Allow your server to guide your meal. Really. The cheese course is not to be missed. Appetizers are always amazing. By the time your meal arrives, you cannot imagine being able to eat another bite. But after the first bite, you find a way. The menu is seasonal and changes monthly, so take a peek before you go. You'll need to find a new favorite for each visit, but you'll have a harder time trying to pick just one. And, the warm dinner rolls with hot onion butter are divine! Plan a visit for al fresco dining, and eat on their amazing patio by candlelight. You won't be disappointed.

THE BEST VEGAN BAKERY in all of New Orleans. I came here 3 times during my week trip, if that tells you anything. Everything is made fresh daily. The staff was extremely friendly and they have plenty of seating. I highly recommend getting the sausage and biscuit sandwich (MY FAVORITE). Come hungry! Free street parking.

OMG don't waste your money!!!! We ordered hots wings. They were frozen wings from a box. Also ordered the pork chops. Were called center cut. They were less then 1/4 inch thick and hard as a rock. Sent back. Asked for a burger and came out raw in middle. So left and ate at jimmy johns.

Want a high quality turn key day in the Santa Barbara wine country. Look no further. Great communication prior to the tour. Timely door to door transportation from the hotel. Michael, our host, inquired in advance about likes in wines and tasting preferences and matched our stops to those preferences. One winery was mentioned that he had not visited. No problem. We made that stop. One barrel tasting experience with the wine maker. Lunch was provided in the package. Comfortable and safe ride. Michael is very knowledgeable about wine as well as the area. He, being a local, gave us a lot of interesting information about the viticulture, oenology, as well as local lore. Helped make the ride enjoyable. We also tapped his reservoir of local knowledge for evening dining options after our day in the wine country. Great suggestions. And he had some awesome suggestions for tasting rooms to visit in Santa Barbara proper for our next day. Looking for one stop shopping for a wine tour in the Santa Barbara area. This is your guy.

It's not the worst pizza joint in the world, and it's not the best. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy, just pizza. Some bizarre version of ranch chicken puzzled me for awhile. I followed my gut to a pepperoni slice and birch beer. Average Joe's 2.5

Beds are very uncomfortable. If it weren't for our visit being around New Years, we would've found a different hotel. The pillows are also uncomfortable. For the price, I'm very disappointed. Stayed in Louisville the previous night at a lower star hotel and had a much nicer experience. You only get "free" wifi for one day. Although the place cosmetically looks nice, that is all this hotel has going for it.

Yum. Food was a little saltier than I would make for myself, but absolutely delicious. We had their pizza, WAY too many of their "ceci (garbanzo) bean snacks," and a tapenade that was out of this world. Great beer as well. Can't wait to hang out here more in the summer!

We went this past week twice, once just me and my husband and then we brought the kids back. David was very thorough explaining the area and giving safety tips and answered a gazillion questions my husband had. Wish we were more prepared for a four hour adventure but we did this on a whim and so glad we did. Now trying to figure out when I can do another all day jaunt to this little piece of paradise. AND I was over the moon excited to see up close a family of dolphin. I would suggest water shoes and a small cooler and enjoy!!!

The location is central and convenient, the staff is very helpful, and the facility itself is very, very nice. My main complaint is with the schedule and class availability. I bought the Groupon, which limited the type of classes I could take (only Mat Classes), and because of my own schedule restraints (I'm a professor and am in my office all day during the week and I volunteer on my weekends) and what I see as SB's limited classes, I won't be able use up my all of my classes before they expire. That's really disappointing. Also, their "Late Cancel" policy is kind of crazy...I had to cancel a class I'd signed up for online over 2 hours in advance, and I could only get the "Late Cancel" option. That's a class down the drain! This is just to caution you...before you buy a package, make sure you can actually get to their classes before your package expires.

I just had this company install a new HVAC unit. They were on time, friendly, professional and the cost, while not the low bidder, was very reasonable. I am 100% satisfied with the work they performed. If you need work on your AC, this is the company I would recommend. I got 6 bids from HVAC companies, so you know I do my homework. If you do use them, ask for Miles and David. They were the "Bomb"! If you need that kind of work, now is the time in Tucson to have it done. Don't wait until the AC dies when it's 110 degrees. Ron H.

what can we say that hasn't already been said? If you want to experience the best ice cream in Louisiana, well honestly the best I cream I have ever had in the world, put this place on your list - you will see what I mean. This is the real deal, but be forewarned, this will ruin the other places, especially the chain type establishments for you. Honesty it's hard to go eat ice cream now that is made from a pre-made base that most other places use. The ice cream chef (named Bryan) can often be seen through the big window in back making his next masterpiece from all natural ingredients. Some of the flavors that he comes up with will make you question his sanity but once you try a sample (which are cheerfully given upon request) you will understand that it comes more from almost savant-like genius than insanity - well maybe the two go hand-in-hand? Don't worry they still have the standard flavors available, albeit not on displace (only the fun stuff is in the visible coolers - no one needs to see a tub of chocolate or vanilla ice cream do they? Exactly) Anyways , try the Black and Gold, the Chocolate Salty Smokey Almond, the Thai Basal Coconut, the Creole Cream Cheese, the ..... well you get the idea. This place is on the "MUST GO TO" list for any out of town visitors as it is just one more truly unique and charming places that we use to show off how lucky we are to live in New Orleans. Simply the best!

Food and service have always been good. The biggest issue now is the noise. They added a wall to separate the bar from the dining room and it has created a ton more noise. It echoes and now you have even less seating in and around the bar. Not sure what the point of it was. I was told it was to make things quieter in the dining area- colossal fail on that part. It also really made the bar area crowded as well. 4.5 stars for food and service. 1 Star for new atmosphere

Loved my experience. I wandered in one day after work and the sweetheart at the reception desk got me all set with my appointment the next day. I arrived, was offered a beverage, to which i happily obliged. Tyler did such an amazing job on my hair. It was only a quick trim but he styled it soooo beautifully. After drying it naturally, my hair falls perfectly and feels so healthy! He gave me advice on styling and heat protection and overall, we had some fabulous conversation.

I've decided that the Gelish brand is much better than the other brands. After 3 experiences with other brands, which peeled within a few days I was pretty upset. The manager talked me in to giving it one more try. This time, I selected a color from the Gelish wheel. The manicure lasted 3 weeks this time. Very happy with that. I'll come back because the staff is really nice. Everyone is always laughing and having a good time. I appreciate their commitment to my nails. :)

First time here and I know I will be back. It's set is a strip mall, and is pretty small but it's worth a stop. I grew up with a lot of German and Austrian food, so to find a good schnitzel is a rare thing. I ordered a sandwich, since I was on a quick lunch run, but it was sooooo worth it. The meat was still juicy and the breading was crispy but not oily. The prices are fairly reasonable so I will be back to sample other menu items. :)

My husband wasn't feeling well this morning and we decided to take him to this new emergency care center. The facility is beautiful and the staff respectful and efficient. Best of all, he got exactly the care he needed, walked out the door with medication, and will be on the way to feeling better soon thanks to this great place. We both would highly recommend this facility.

Must go! Food comes in a bag, messy and cafeteria style, so it's not your typical food joint. But if you want great food full of amazing Cajun flavor, this place is it! Waiting in line is common and we walked 15 blocks for it but, absolutely worth it! :)

I'm not from the area, but my usual place was closed today and I happened to be running through Tampa. I found Rina's through Yelp and decided to go for it. They're just eyebrows, right?! Are the pictures on here of the same place? It looked nicer in photos than it did in person, but I am not too picky about ambience as long as it's clean. I came in as a walk-in around 3pm and signed in on the iPad. There was really no wait at all, and I got seated right away. I regret not getting the lady's name, as I knew I wouldn't be back in Tampa much, and even if I were, I probably wouldn't conveniently need an eyebrow threading at the same time. But she was wonderful! She spent time making sure to get the little hairs that some places let you leave with. I would say that prices are fair compared to what I've seen. They are increasing prices next month, though, so get in soon!

Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse is a cute little jazz club located in the Royal Sonesta Hotel. I had the opportunity to be there yesterday evening between 5pm and 8pm. I'm not sure how it is the rest of the week, but the atmosphere is laid-back and cool with live jazz playing in the background. It's a place that you can groove to some good music, while also having a nice conversation with friends. There was no line at this time of day, and other than our party of about 20, there was another party of about 10, so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. There is a full bar, so I ordered a French 75 with Cognac. It was quite delicious. I definitely put it up there in my top 3. Though I'm not quite sure about the atmosphere during busier times, I would definitely recommend Irvin Mayfied's Jazz Playhouse for someone looking for something than the usual after work Happy Hour.

I have been here many times and have always had a good experience. The food is good, and they offer a $19.95 all you can eat sushi menu, A happy hour, and a $8.95 lunch buffet. The vibe is great, and the decor is modern and inviting. They have a separate bar area, where you can get drinks and order food, the bar can also be opened up so you can sit outside and still order drinks directly from the bartender and watch TV. They have great beers on draft and the bartenders seem well versed in making a variety of drinks. There is also an outdoor seating area that seems to be waiting to be set up. The wait staff is always very helpful and quick. The sushi bar is excellent to watch a game and watch the sushi chef make your food. If you sit in the green room(table 15) you can watch all the TV's that are in the dining area(a little secret, just don't be there when I am!), this is great for the guy's that want to watch multiple games at the same time. Unfortunately our last experience involved some bad fish. I am sure you know that once you have a bad fish experience it is hard to go back.

So I came to visit one of my friends and we wanted to get lunch and found this spot. When arrived we parked in their side parking area and walked in. We were greeted by the hostess and told we can sit at the bar. The restaurant was really cute and super clean. We served by Leaha and she was very nice and attentive. For drinks I got pinot nior and my friend got the margarita and both weren't too bad. For lunch I got the szechuan shrimp bento box and she got the chicken teriyaki box. They both came to about $17 a piece which wasn't bad at all. The food was pretty good when I added the general tso sauce the server gave to me. I wasn't liking the szechuan sauce too much. The total for everything came to about $29 a piece which was very reasonable. When back in town I will be back.

Do not go here, everyone here is incredibly rude! I have never been "fired" from a practice before in my whole life, because I'm not the kind of person to cause drama or anything. Kelly Melina's is the part owner, she is terribly rude. She not only made me feel bad about why I took my dog in in the first place, then said he might have an issue with his prostate (which was why i brought him in) but she was demeaning, she called me "kiddo", had a snappy tone and kept interrupting me. Not to mention they didn't tell me it was with this doctor instead. They had absolutely no customer service and i don't even want to know how they treated my dog behind closed doors. They also kept my dog till i gave them payment, she was totally rude to me out of no where then just straight up told me not to come back, they are psycho there and will freak out on your for whatever bad day they had. I am appalled, i said absolutely nothing to this women to make her treat me like that. then i tried to talk to her after she hung up on me and they wouldn't even talk to me! Please don't go here, absolutely disgusted with the people that work here.

We've eaten at B.B. Kings in Las Vegas and loved it so we were excited to try another location. We were not disappointed! The BB Kings All-Star band started playing while we ate. They were phenomenal. Ribs and chicken were delicious. Love their BBQ sauce.

I've been here quite a few times, I've always had decent service and the food has always been good. They have some great lunch specials like combination platters for $10 and they're awesome and a god amount of food.

I used to give this place 5 stars but the last few times I've been, the steaks and service have not been worth the hefty price we end up paying. We always get the big porterhouse and share it. I remember the first time I went, the steak was melt in your mouth tender and dripping with the signature butter. Last night, went there for an anniversary dinner and the steak was pretty dry, parts of it were overcooked and we didn't really receive the attention from our waitress that one should get when shelling out that kind of bill. I had to put dalton both my steak and au gratin potatoes. Anyways, it's been pretty consistent the last few times I've gone. Not sure if they've got a new cook and/or meat supplier, but won't be back here for awhile. After reading some of the more realistic reviews, it seems I'm not the only one with similar experience. As for the atmosphere, it is quaint and very old school New Orleans. We do enjoy getting one of the private booths and closing the curtains to drown out the other diners. If not, the restaurant gets really noisy if they're busy. Really disappointed in the changes. This used to be our go-to for special occasions. Might as well save the money and get the same quality of steak at Texas Roadhouse...

Food - 3 Service - 4 Ambiance - 4 As a visitor to St. Louis, I was very excited to try the famous St. Louis style BBQ. I was determined to try both Pappy's and Bogart's and was able to try Pappy's first. We got there right when it opened in order to avoid the lunchtime rush. Pretty tasty BBQ but really nothing to write home about. The chicken was dry, the ribs were tasty but was a little lacking of delicious meat, and the brisket was a little fattier than we like. My husband said the fried corn was only okay, just very fried. I would say the standout is definitely the sweet potato fries. They were so flavorful and delicious that I definitely prioritized finishing them instead of the BBQ! Quick and efficient service. Cute, casual, loud atmosphere. Overall, satisfying BBQ but did not make me regret not living in St. Louis. I am glad we came at opening though because as were were leaving an hour later on a Sunday, the line was waaaay out the door.

Today I spent 20 dollars on black cod and cooked it 2 hours later. It was on ice. It stunk it was horrible. Disgusting. It was old frozen poorly or something. If you sell fish only then there is no excuse to sell rotten cod. I will never buy from their scamming. They should be shut down. I advise never buy their rotten fish! I know fish very well. .

I'm a big fan of Homewood Suites in general. The Nashville Airport location has some pluses and some negatives. The rooms are more dated than the other HS I have stayed in. The televisions are the old fashioned kind, not the large flat screens in newer properties. All of the appointments (counter tops, lamps, bathrooms) just seem a little cheesy and not of the quality I have encountered at the chain's other hotels. They really fell down on the job with the complimentary van transfer service. Getting to our location (the Opryland Complex) was smooth and we were assured that the van would pick us up until 11pm. We called for 45 minutes and there was no answer. In a panic, we called a cab and paid $23 for the service. When we approached the night clerk, he smirked and said he was there and the phone didn't ring. I was still calling the hotel as I exited the cab and he did answer at that point so I had the correct number. HOWEVER! Carla, the manager, refunded my cab fare and even went so far as to offer me an extra bonus. She really stepped up to the plate to make up for the night clerk's failing. The free drinks and dinner Monday through Thursday is a nice plus. We didn't feel like going to the quaint charming restaurant next door (raining, cold, long day wandering Nashville) on our second night and went downstairs for the burgers and fries. The food was okay but the hot cookies ROCKED!!! The free wine and beer - nice! Note: get your cookies early - they are gone by the time the late shift (7pm) is done. Breakfast is the quality of the Hampton in the chain - okay but nothing special. I would go light on breakfast (though the coffee was very good) and eat a nice lunch at one of Nashville's many excellent restaurants (see The Tin Angel). Carla The Manager was very present at breakfast - greeting customers, picking up dirty dishes, bagging trash. I stay in a lot of hotels and NEVER see a manager much less one getting her hands dirty. So, my original 3 stars is being upgraded to 4 based on CTM. She seems young and very enthused. I think the staff problems will be gone shortly under her. The Homewood Suites is off Briley Parkway about 10 minutes from the Opryland complex and 20 minutes from downtown as well as 10 minutes from the airport. If you have a car and like the apartment atmosphere, give HS a try.

Well, a little surprised to be honest. Sat at the bar where there are two bartenders and 3 customers. I ordered a beer and some food. The bartender did not make up a place setting for me ( which others had and is customary). Food came quickly as did my drink. I asked for a bottle beer and a glass. I had to pour it myself. No one checked on me. I had to get their attention for salt/pepper and for a soda. Plan on getting dessert to go. Wish they were more focused on the customers in front of them.

The food was really really good. But the portions were really small. The employee was literally weighing every single portion to make sure that it was exactly on point. I guess that's a good way to keep your profits high but your customers leaving still hungry. I'm only going to go here when I have a coupon. Whatever happened to Hardy homestyle place? Prepare to be hungry after you're done eating

I hired Michael's plumbing to fix a leak in the second floor bathroom of a condo that leaked through to the ceiling on the first floor. We don't live in this condo so I have to travel over an hour to get there and then just sit there to wait for them. They give a two hour window. The first time they came out they didn't call me until thirty minutes after the 2 hour window, then another 30 minutes and they came. They stayed 30 minutes so I was out two hours travel time, three hours of wait time, a half hour while they were there. They were polite enough. After they left I patched the ceiling (another hour of my time) . However, the next time we came to the condo, it was still leaking and the ceiling was ruined again. So I called them again to come out. This time they said they would be there between 9 and 11, but didn't come until 2. So, another two hours drive time five hours of waiting time, a half hour for them to "fix" it and once again, I patched the ceiling (another hour of my time) and it still leaks, ruining the ceiling once again. I called them again last Friday and they said they couldn't come until Tuesday between noon and two. It's now 2:15 and I haven't heard from them despite having called twice and left messages. So, another two hours drive time plus two plus hours of waiting time and I am no closer to getting the leak fixed than before I called them the first time. I am cutting my losses and going to hire another plumber. Michael's obviously has enough business that they don't feel that they need to fix things the first (or even second) time, and they obviously have no respect whatsoever for my time. I will just have to pay someone else to repair their work. Very disappointing. Update, they finally called me on my way home. Said my appointment was Wednesday, not Tuesday. Fine, except my wife was listening to me when I called them and said Tuesday. I've already paid them to do the work, but I now have close to twenty hours of time that I took away from my work and other things to be there for agreed upon appointments that they disregarded. They were pretty cavalier about it as well. I have no confidence whatsoever that they can fix it, or that they will magically start being respectful of my time. I'll take my chances and pay someone else to fix their work. I simply don't have time to work with Michael's.

Service was as terrible as the food. The only redemption was the wine and cheese and the great location off the river.

Best Muffaletas in town, hands down. The only reason we're not giving it five stars is because they run out so quickly that oftentimes we've waited forever in line only to find out they're sold out. *sigh* As for the rest of the store, there are plenty of neat imported items that you simply can't find in most grocery stores. We were able to bring back a ton of blood orange and limoncello products for our Italian side. We even bought their cookbook and have enjoyed every recipe we've tried. Highly recommended them!

Restaurant is next to the hotel we were staying at. Lovely atmosphere, food was excellent and portions were large. My teenager gave his nod of assent to the burger and fries. I had a tuna steak with tomatoes and coleslaw.

I prefer this location over the one on Decatur. It's tucked away on Royal street and there is a little garden with tables and chairs at which to eat. Smaller, intimate setting. Delicious beignets. A win.

Bagel Bin is frustrating, they have really solid bagels but their system is slow and horrendously unorganized. They gave away my order this morning and made me wait 20 minutes for a new one. I just can't justify giving them my business anymore. Bagel Bin - you're dead to me.

Really weak, the employee was an ignorant bi--h. I asked for hot and she made it cold. No sorry, nothing. I asked her to make it again. Please, no nothing again. She tells another worker wash the tapioca beads off. Really? I told her you keep them and make me a new one don't recycle stuff like that. She made me a hot water, no flavor no taste. Needless to say no tip. I will stay with TeaDo. Longer lines but much better all around. No wonder here was only 2 customers beside us.

Shady. Finance guy Paul is a slimy used car salesman through and through. Remember me ??? Chris. I bought the blue Jeep and In the middle of my bank needing a day to send you a check in full you walked in like a jerk and said ...."well if you don't put some money down it might sell between now and then". Nice try man. You guys are shameless. Other review must be fake. I'm a business man. I eat narcissist men like you for breakfast every day. Shame on you. Small town and people like me don't take crap from guys like you. You turned a mediocre car buying experience into an abysmal one. You still owe me an apology for your lack of manners. Lucky for you Terrence was great. Your business sense is stuck in the 80s. Trying to pressure me to buy a car I was settling on anyway. Seriously. Buyers beware. These guys tried to take advantage of my wife asking her questions until I showed up and shut them down. So used to playing the game. You know who I am. I'm not hiding. Calling it exactly like it is and how you try and get one over on people. Hoping everyone who reads this is deferred away from your predatory business practice. No embellishment. Also shame on you for being rude to both my bank and car insurance people. Paul you are a punk with little man syndrome. I wish bad on your business as you are a true used car salesman. These guys are the real deal slime balls of car salesman. Buyer beware. 100% warned to do business elsewhere. All the smiles are fake. Business is terrible even post sale.

I've been going here off and on for 30 years, but I've made my last visit! They've always been a bit pricier than the competition, and I've always known that and was still a customer because their pizza was always good, and maybe a little better than other area places in my opinion. Over the 30 years, I've watched their prices climb, and several times considered I'd stop visiting due to price, but now they've sealed the deal for me. I stopped in for 2 pieces of Sicilian pizza....plain, no toppings, no drink. When it rang up at $9.01, I really thought it was a mistake. I said, no, I just got 2 pieces, and they said, that's right...$9.01. Maybe I'm cheap (but I don't think so), but $4.50 for a slice of pizza (even with tax) is INSANE. It's a shame, because it was a convenient spot for me, and I enjoyed their products, but they've certainly lost me as a customer......after 30 pizza-eating years! I'll never understand the greed of some businesses. You raise the prices to get "X" percent more our of each transaction, but you lost the next 20 years of transactions from me, and I'm probably not the only one! Doesn't make sense!

They do good work, but they are uneven in terms of customer service. One customer comes in while I'm already standing there, they wait on him first, and perform his alterations the same day, me, I gotta wait. I leave something else, it wasn't ready the two times I went to pick it up...so I'll be finding another alteration shop, which I hate, because even though they aren't the most professional looking and acting operation, they do excellent work, but I think I'm ready to pay more and be treated better.

Very disappointing this time round. I have eaten lunch here many times, at one point, a couple times a week. The salads were great... key word here is WERE. I took my Mom here for her birthday....she likes the atmosphere... yes, the atmosphere is very nice & peaceful BUT, the food, well, BIG disappointment. Got the asparagus & spinach soup with horseradish cream... SO BLAND. Tasted like nothing, tasted nothing like asparagus or spinach.... blah... it it cost $8.00... really? I don't mind paying for it, but it was NOT good. We both got salads. SO small, we left hungry & disappointed. The idea of a barley/quinoa salad is good, but really? If there was half a cup on the plate, that is an exaggeration. The 1/2 cup tasted okay though. Then, we shared the garden salad. Hardly any vegetables & what was there was sliced so paper thin, it was embarrassing that they would charge anything for that. My neighbor's pet rabbit eats more for lunch. I feel ripped off.. big time. The bread baked in a terra cotta flower pot was always a highlight, however, this time the bread was under baked & doughy, even the butter was not as good, it used to come with a delicious sweet salt on top, the best thing about Styer's Garden Cafe´ was that they paid attention to the details... that's what made it great... but, it is obvious that it is a new chef (from even a year ago?) Because the quality has gone done, the portion sizes are minuscule & IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE.. for what you get... I would not be so concerned about the prices if the portion sizes reflected that value. I am so disappointed. Used to LOVE it here...... :( sad to say...

I have eaten at Sabrina's several times in the past at both their University City and Italian Market locations. The service is excellent, even on extremely busy days. The wait is always worth it! The brunch special Eggs Benedict is my particular favorite-- and the restaurant is very accommodating when it comes to my Celiac Disease. I unfortunately just had a terrible experience ordering Sabrina's through DiningIn. My order was mixed up, and due my gluten intolerance I was unable to eat the food that had been sent. However, when I contacted the restaurant, the manager was a huge and gracious help in having the correct order sent. I'm reticent to order through DiningIn again, but I must say I will certainly be returning to Sabrina's as I have always been impressed with their service. I'd rather my money go directly to the restaurant and the wonderful staff receive the tips they deserve. In addition, the restaurant is super cute as well! I love eating on the windowed porch. Please, please check them out! You won't regret it.

I've been a fan of the tortilla chips and salsa for a while now, but just recently have I tried the tortillas and WOW they're good. We went yesterday to pick up some tortillas and right when we walked in, we were each handed a tortilla hot off the press. It was soft, warm and fluffy. Paired with the free salsa samples on the counter, it was perfection. The salsas are delicious: red = hot & spicy, green = mild & refreshing. The chips are thick, crunchy and ever so slightly salted. They make Tostitos taste like cardboard. For $10 we walked out with a huge bag of chips, a giant stack of tortillas and some salsa.

Had a bad experience with Jennifer. She wasn't looking at my feet, was talking/looking at a coworker and cut my nail. She was very unfocused and seemed to skip steps even when I awkwardly asked for a few things. I have been coming to signature for years. In the past, they have been very thorough, but the last few times it's been very below average. I am going to start going somewhere else.

One year later and this branch is still a five stars for me! Sadly, I had to close my safe deposit box at this location to open a new one in North Valleys since it's closer to home.

We had to make an adjustment to our appointment as I, at the last minute, would not be home to let them in. They had no problem accessing the home without me there. They were able to send an invoice online and I could pay online. The service went quickly (we have cameras and it alerted us when they arrived and left). The owner was very pleasant and understanding on the phone. But most importantly, the carpets are very clean and for considerably less than any other company quoted me! Like A LOT cheaper! They had essentially next day availability and most other companies were a few weeks out. Highly recommend. Will definitely use their service again!

The Good: As a Xavier Alumni, I feel passionate about this school for several reasons. And here we go: HBCU... #1 for assisting blacks with getting into med school... World renown pharmacy program... Only historically black roman catholic university... Distinguished Alumni such as myself... Lol (ahhhh my modesty, lol). Smaller class size allows for more individualized attention. The Bad & The Ugly: I experienced major difficulties primarily in the financial aid department. The lack of professionalism of some of the staff was deplorable, particularly, Emily Jones, my alpassigned financial aid counselor (alphabetically assigned, I should've changed my last name), was awful. NEVER on time. Inefficient. More concerned about her "appearance" than timeliness & assisting students, as this was her job. Not to be considered an attack on her, I'm sure on the some personal level, she's a great person, but at the time when I attended, IMHO, she needed MORE professional training. She single-handily made this "financial aid portion of my HBCU college experience" a nightmare. Being 18, attempting to handle my personal financial affairs & encountering her... What a train wreck. I can go on & on, but I won't, you get the point. Additionally, since I have graduated, I've had the unfortunate pleasure to return to have to deal with the train wreck called XU financial aid department... Hello, pay for the transcript in one area, take the receipt to two dofferent places... Helllllo have ya'll come to the 21st century of technology. Ughhhh. Thank GOD for Ms Carolyn Robinson, such a pleasant disposition & she makes my financial aid woes bearable, hello the aforementioned financial aid counselor could take lessons. During my time there, instructors were readily available for consultation & cared very much about the education of the students. I guess this was the benefit of attending a small, private university. Cost of attendance, is pricey, but depending on your reason for attending, med school prep, name distinction etc, I suggest you count the cost 1st. I can say since my time at XU, there have been some MAJOR upgrades to the campus that are way wonderful... The growth is great!!! The new convocation center, additional parking, woooo hooo, The Qatar, tearing down the Barn for renovations/improvements... Kudos to you XU for improvements/renovations/growth... Now, let's work on the financial aid department + technology. XU, is a good, could be great school in its own right if they would pay attention to a few areas.

When my husband suggested Havana Cafe for dinner last night, I anticipated a hole-in-the-wall joint, where'd I'd have to look past greasy booths to get authentic Cuban flavors. I was right and wrong. Right about the authentic flavors. Wrong about the hole-in-the-wall. Havana Cafe is small, but very clean and nicely decorated. The food was exactly what I'd hoped for. Well, except for the tostones (fried plantains). I'm not sure there was anything wrong with them. They just didn't have a lot of flavor and were served with a salty dipping liquid. I wanted something a little sweeter, but my guess is that's just how tostones really are; otherwise, they would be on the dessert menu instead of the appetizer menu. Mike ordered the Cuban, which was big enough for two meals. He gave me a bite and it was delicious. In addition to the typical yellow mustard, it also had mayo, which gave the sandwich a creaminess. The crust of the bread was perfectly crispy. I ordered the fricase del pollo (or something close to that). It was chicken thighs stewed with some small potatoes in a tomato-based sauce. It tastes like home -- if my home had been in Cuba. Total comfort food. It was served with a choice of 2 sides -- I opted for white rice with black beans and fried yuca. The yuca was kind of French fry like, only fresher and not so heavy feeling. I could have had a whole plate of just that. My meal was big enough (except for the yuca, which only came with 3 pieces), that I was able to take half home to eat for lunch today. (Which I just did and which inspired this review.) Havana Cafe was a win for sure.

My mom stayed here on a recent visit so I saw quite a bit of the hotel. Despite absolutely adoring Fuzio, I find this casino hotel in general disfavor. It's listed as a 3-star hotel, but I find that denotation inappropriate. There is carpet that's torn or missing throughout as well as clearly visible damage in the elevator. Maybe it has the amenities, but it's certainly not well-maintained and doesn't feel that nice. The ceilings are low and it's a very smoky environment. They have the only poker room in the area that's still smoking and the only game they really spread is 3-6 limit. The Sands does host Eurofest which is all about beer drinking and sausage eating so it can't be all bad... I've experienced fairly long lines for the player's club which is incidentally shared with the casino in Verdi (forget the name) and Terrible's Rail City Casino. The casino floor area is fairly small and claustrophobic compared to other nearby casinos. I really would only go here if I felt liek the other casinos nearby were too nice or too expensive except that I totally love Fuzio. The casino has a bar and grill, an Arby's, a Mel's diner, a buffet, a cafe and a lounge for sports watching. The Sands hosts a huge cribbage tournament. The hotel also offers a health club, wedding chapel, salon, ski/snowboard rentals, and the self-proclaimed largest pool complex in downtown Reno.
