[ "Serving a simply sublime breakfast experience in a sleek, modern, and tiny dining room, Refuel Cafe delivers on all accords.\n\nThough their menu is very, very limited (salads, sandwiches, and breakfast), each menu item is well-thought out and amazingly prepared. I'll surely be coming back on a regular basis.\n\nBeware of the hours: only open til 3 PM most days.", "9/30/2007 Update\n\nWent back for brunch and had the corned beef with hash browns with two eggs over easy on top. I liked it very much. In fact, my plate was sparkling clean by the end of the meal. It was filling without being too greasy. Corned beef and hash browns - yum yum! Michelle B. had the baja omelet which had bits of bacon mixed in the omelet which I also liked (and will try that next time!). The grits were buttery and creamy, just how I like 'em. Why anyone would stand in line for an hour at Camellia Grill when this place is around the corner is beyond me!\n\n\n-----\n\nI read about this place in the Lagniappe section last week and since I'm looking for alternatives to my usual sunday brunch spots, I decided to take the ride Uptown to check this place out. The write-up mentioned the delicious sandwiches, awesome breakfast sections and great salads, which all sounded really tempting as I checked out the website before heading over.\n\nThe interior is really nice - very contemporary chic with expresso wood tables and chairs and matching expresso hardwood floor. There are also two upholstered chairs to sit in and read the Gambit while waiting for you order as I did while waiting for my Cuban sandwich and fish salad. The Cuban sandwich was very good even though it did not appear to be 'pressed with butter'. Nonetheless, it was very good with the accompanying side of cole slaw. The seared salmon fish salad was REALLY good (excellent food textures in this dish) and I can't wait to try the tuna version! \n\nRefuel was pretty packed when I strolled in around 1pm but you can get your orders to go. It's a good spot for groups if and only if you are the first group there as most tables are for 2. If I lived Uptown, this place would instantly be a weekend hangout so I could try all the menu items which are all very well priced. Maybe I'll try not to drink too much next weekend so I can get there bright and early and try the breakfast!", "Went this morning and had a perfectly prepared cafe au lait and the baja omelet. It had cheese, avocado, chopped bacon and topped with a very good ranchero sauce. The meal also came with grits, which were very good but I wasn't able to have more than a few bites, as I was stuffed from the eggs. Nice atmosphere and beautiful artwork on the walls.", "A great lunch spot with reasonable prices. Expect between $9-11 for salads and sandwiches. Their sandwiches are served as more a panini, hot and with the cheese melted. I had the Uptown Club and it exceeded my expectations. It's a nice quiet place and the service is really friendly and warm. Definitely would recommend this place for breakfast or lunch.", "Update: Lowered my review by one star. I still frequent this place for breakfast fairly regularly and it doesn't disappoint. Always decent, never WOW amazing. The A/C used to be blasting all the time, a great perk for that hangover hot feeling. Now its much warmer... maybe they finally realized their entergy bill was more than their rent.", "I think New Orleans needs more places like this uptown. Its a modern style lunch place with very good food. I believe they also have wifi. Their sandwhiches are very good and the smoothies are pretty good too, from what Ive heard.", "I love this cafe so much I wake up in the morning looking forward to eating there at least once. Probably my favorite is to build my own breakfast burrito. For lunch it is very hard to beat the Cuban with its unique flavor. When I want to eat healthy they have the seared salmon salad. They have some new brunch items on the weekend, crabcakes in particular have been a nice addition. Yea! They are open on Monday now. Don't know what I would do without my Refuel.", "hands down the best omelette I have ever had. If you stop here for breakfast try the baha omelette.", "A guest at the hotel recommended this to us, so I just had to test it out for myself. I must say, this place is impressive. This is the reason why we should support local shops and restaurants. The food is light in portion, but healthy and filling! By the time I finished the Cali Omelet and I had that realization, I nearly had a Scanners exploding moment (look it up). \n\nAlso, the grits is so creamy that it's like a cloud in your mouth. The atmosphere is comforting and it almost takes on a Cheers type of feel (sans Kelsey Grammer). If you're looking for a good place for breakfast and lunch (or \"brunch\" for you fancy people), drag yourself away from the heavy and expensive chains and head for Refuel!", "On my first trip to New Orleans, I did all the typical tourist stuff, including riding the street car. I was a bit hungover and needed some caffeine in a bad way. Jumped off and found Refuel, as we were about to walk in, the girl outside said they were closed but coffee was still on if we wanted to step in....wow, that would never happen in NY. We entered and the guy behind he counter was so knowledgeble and friendly. We wound up staying for about an hour, chatting, with them (they turned out to be the co-owners). They were awesome and super helpful. Told us about the local hotspots and history of New Orleans. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I'm planning a trip back to New Orleans in a few months and will DEFINITELY stop back in...i wanted to write this review months ago, but just got around to doing it now...better late than never, i suppose! ;-)" ]

[ "Ron's recently did an overhaul and this place has really stepped up their bar! Very nice high def TVs, more bar tables and 20 or so bar stools now. If you knew the old \"bar\" this is a tremendous upgrade. They have a couple of entrances to the place. First is the bar/restaurant door which allows you to sit down and eat/drink. The other entrance near the corner is a take-out only door.\n\nTheir beer selection is fantastic, they have 3 or so \"regular\" tap handles dedicated to the regulars and the rest are craft beer taps. If you're not happy with the 15ish craft beer taps they have quite an extensive selection of bottles too! They have a very nice beer menu for all their bottles and taps (thanks to the Beer Yard) which helps you choose what to order.\n\nTheir menu is pretty extensive and covers your basics. Pizza, Stromboli, Sandwiches, Hoagies, Burgers, Salads, etc but the real draw are the ovals. Ovals are a sort of flat bread pizza topped with just about anything you want. Definitely drop by for happy hour and pick one up at half price! \n\nRon's is a great place to relax after work or a spot to go and watch the game. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed and upscale but the attire is casual. The restaurant is completely separated from the bar area so there's always families and bar goers there. Stop in and have a drink if you're in the area.", "I have had lunch here several times, both previous to the renovation and after. Great selection of beers to go and solid as well on tap. \n\nThis is a great sandwich shop- awesome hoagies, awesome steaks/cheese steaks. Service is friendly and the lunch crowd gets heaviest about 12:30.\n\nIf you are in the Lionville area, stop at Ron's for a quick lunch and beer.", "I love Ron's! The service is great, and the beer selection will knock your socks off. We've been several times in the last few weeks, and absolutely everything we've ordered, whether the wings or a salad or a sandwich or their signature \"ovals\" (basically pizza sans sauce) has been terrific.\n\nIt's worth pointing out that the bar area and restaurant are two completely different worlds. The bar is beautifully decorated, warm and welcoming, and the service is exceptional -- even when busy. The restaurant feels like a separate establishment. Still good, but tons and tons of kids and families. Which is fine, of course, but the bar feels much more sophisticated (but still casual) than the restaurant, which is a little more generic and Olive Garden-ish. \n\nIf it's just you and your significant other, or you and a couple of good friends: head to the bar. If it's you and the kiddies and grandma: the restaurant is the place to go. \n\nNot in the mood to dine in? Head next door for their take-out, which features an amazing selection of beers, both obscure and well-known.\n\nEither way, Ron's is a must-stop for any and all beer fans in the area.", "Rons has defenilty stepped it up with the recent re-model, Excellent food, beer list is great and the service is freindly. Great atmosphere and new bar!", "I have only been here for lunch and taken out for lunch so I cannot vouch or speak for their dinner menus or the bar, of which I hear good thing of both. \n\nFor lunch however, the food is great. It's a great place to take out from. They do have A LOT of beers at the take out counter and it's hard not to stare at it all and wish you could throw a few back on a Thursday when all you wish is that the week was over. Their ovals are phenomenal (be sure to get them around BOGO times which happens twice a year). I can also highly recommend their thin crust pizzas, they are more like a spanish flat bread than a pizza and are really great. Their burgers are tasty as well. And on top of all that their prices are extremely affordable. We take out from Ron's every day almost and it never disappoints.\n\nOne note, if you are picking up, be sure to remember what phone number they took your order under, as they use that to track your order, not your last name or what you ordered etc. They also deliver if you prefer that, on a schedule once every half hour I believe.", "This review may not be helpful to everyone but I has a great experience with Rons! I live in California and on my mother's birthday wanted to send a luncheon to her office in Exton. I found Rons on-line and called the day before. He put together a wonderful sandwich spread that fit my budget and even bought a card for me! He contacted me through email and by telephone to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. The delivery was on time and perfect! He even followed up with me afterwards to make sure we were happy! We were!", "I tried Ron's tonight for the first time. Per Jennifer L's suggestion, I asked my friend to meet me in the bar. Standing room only at the bar - seemed like happy hour for corporate types. We got a table instead and it seemed like everyone was celebrating a birthday for various 4 year-olds. Luckily, they were all in a different room or my experience may have been different. Our service was prompt and friendly, the menu is large with a selection of everything from hoagies to pizza to traditional Italian fare entrees. We both tried an \"Oval\" - basically a misshapen personal-sized pizza. I had BBQ chicken - it was delicious and I ate the whole thing. They also have a fantastic draft beer selection - I had some yummy Russian chocolate Stout. We moved to the bar which was still loud but less crowded - I'm not saying that I'm a beauty queen, but the crowd at this bar was, let's say, somewhat unattractive. Less hip than I expected in terms of both decor and crowd but was very comfortable to enjoy an after-dinner drink. Next time I would like to try the old bay fries and the chocolate pudding cake and whatever is new on draft.", "Every visit home, I stop at Ron's for my pizza-steak fix. An excellent steak sandwich, considering its in the far western burbs of Philadelphia.\n\nAs noted by other reviewers, they have an extensive (ready huge) list of beers, mostly bottled.\n\nTheir ovals (like a pizza, but not sauce) are quite popular. Their regular and boneless (not really boneless wings, more like chicken nuggets with no breading) chicken wings are an excellent balance of heat and flavor.\n\nTakeout is fast and easy.\n\nAs also noted by other Yelpers, they do attract a note families with small childern............so expect noisy (in a kid way) and sometimes a tad messy during peak hours.", "I have only been here for takeout. The ovals are really good. When I don't order ovals I usually go for a BBQ cheesesteak. I also order Val's Nachoes. They are very good", "I went here with my family after hearing they had a great beer selection. Checking online they list all of their beer as well. \n\nThere was a 30 minute wait for dinner, but it was a Friday night so we headed to the bar. It was slightly crowded but the talk of good beer was true. The beer list had a good selection of seasonal as well as year-round beers but focused on darker beer which I love. \n\nThe serve all of their beer way to cold, especially for the amount of dark beer they carry. If you go for dinner you should probably order one ahead to give it time to warm up. \n\nI had some of the best mussels there even though the broth wasn't that great. The burger for dinner was slightly over-cooked for medium rare but still delicious. \n\nWith the beer selection and decent food this is definitely a place worth checking out. There are some things that are a bit off that keeping it from being perfect and in fact a bit strange. If you don't care for beer there isn't really a reason to stop by though." ]

[ "Granted I don't eat cheese so reviwing a pizza joint is a little off, but myself and all the other vegans and ex-vegans I know swear by the alegro tomato pie. It's fricken delicious. Beare in mind this place in university city so your going to have to put up with more drunk jocks then you can shake a stick at but hey if you can't beat 'em join 'em...alegros sells beer.", "A solid four stars for Allegro... with the fourth star being the twinkle in my eye when I think of this place. Some highlights:\n\n - The best chicken cheesesteak I've ever had.\n - Decent slices of pizza, especially after midnight.\n - Great peoplewatching, including the time my girlfriend and I sat next to the jukebox, only to realize that the drunk guy a few booths away put \"Do You Want My Body\" by Rod Stewart on repeat, apparently mistaking Allegro for a karaoke bar.\n - Tasty black and white milkshakes.\n - Cheap calzones.\n\nAll in all, a great neighborhood pizza place. I wouldn't make it a destination or tell anyone from out of town their trip to Philly wouldn't be complete without it, but I do miss Allegro.", "Let us not kid ourselves; pizza west of the river is generally grease slopped on cardboard, with ketchupy sauce.\n\nAll that said, Allegro is the only 'za worth checking for in University City/West Philly, period. Though it's much better when eaten in the restaurant, the atmosphere sucks. Allegro attracts students, families, and a few drunken regulars famously arguing about whatever sporting event is on the TV.\n\nThe sausage pizza is the way to go, and Allegro has a tolerable selection of beers to go and a few on tap.\n\nAgain, if you can't make it into the city... and you're in West Philthy, go here. Also... extra love because Allegro seems to be the ONLY restaurant in Philadelphia without a delivery charge... not that it matters, but it's cool to get some suburbia treatment in the city.", "Jake is so on point here. Allegro pizza is so tasty, and it is worth a couple of your hard earned dollars IF you are in the area already. However, the clientele is entirely disturbing, regardless of whether it's students or non-students. The only non-students who come here are weird or have issues with talking to themselves and whatnot. Everyone here is weird right down to the staff, so thumbs down for a creepy, dirty atmosphere. But the pizza's good!", "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Allegro Pizza\n\nYe killer slices, ye tomato pie,\nthat I ate on Wednesday nights,\nwhen I should have been eating at\nthe dining hall (eek, what a fright!)\n\nAh, but you didn't hurt my wallet \nand you saved me lots of time\ncause your line moves super quickly\nand you have a great selection of beer\n\n(which means I don't have to go to the beer store, \nwhich is way down on 43rd street---\nand, oh, what a drag.)", "1. I'm a vegan and this place sells AWESOME tomato pie. No, tomato pie is not just pizza without cheese on it. Pizza without cheese on it is what we vegans eat when we agree to go to some pizza place with you non-vegans because we like you, and we're nice, but we don't really want your food all the time, even if your a laxidasical vegan like me. No, tomato pie is a pizza with fresh tomatos, spices, and other such things on it. In the case of Allegros it is also sicillian. Definitely try it.\n\n2. My wife has told me that their wraps and hoagies are really good too. She also loves their cheese fries, and I've been told that their regular non-vegan pizzas are pretty good too. OK, fine, I've eaten their cheese pizza once or twice. It is good. I'll admit it. What? I'm mostly-vegan, but I'm still human.\n\n3. They deliver, and do so pretty quickly. You can also pay with a credit or debit card over the phone which is really useful if you don't have tons of cash on you and want a good bite to eat.", "In my opinion, the best pizza in UC. It's a little on the pricey side - 2 slices and a Coke will run you about $7. Still, this has been my quick on-the-go-dinner spot for a while, and is always good for a laid-back time, eating pizza and watching TV.", "I'm a little surprised at Alegro's lack of Yelps. I love this place! I used to go to Alegro for slices and a beer and sometimes for a study break to watch a bit of an Eagles game. Given the variety of quality slices on offer, the reasonable beer selection, and the fun, casual and local atmosphere, I'm almost tempted to give Alegro that coveted fifth star!", "Ok so here's how I arrived at my rating of 4 stars:\n\n2 stars for food\n\n-1 star for service\n\n+ 2 stars for selection of booze\n\n-1 star for price of booze\n\n-1 star for actually enforcing the limitation on how much booze you can buy.\n\n+ 1 star for having a clean bathroom\n\n-2 stars for turning into Greek Lady 2 and throwing out all the homeless guys that would drink 40's out of little plastic cups at 11am\n\n+4 stars for having the most incredibly tacky chandelier I've ever seen in my life.\n\n\nSo there you have it... A four star restaurant!", "Before this place changed management last summer, I loved this pizza place. The pizza was delicious and reasonably priced. The other items like cheesesteaks and sandwiches were delicious. And their fries were perfectly crunchy.\n\nNow...after the management change, this place is nothing special. Sure the place is more spruced up with marble floors and a huge beer selection. Besides this, the prices went up, the quality went down a little bit. Now its not worth my while. It still is a popular pizza place, but no longer my favorite, though I am still a fan of their garlic knots. I'd say it is a hit or miss." ]

[ "Average pizza place. What makes this a three star is that it's in an old bank, you can eat in the vault! I also get nostalgic because this is one of the few pizzerias that have video games and a salad bar...just don't see much of that anymore!", "best pizza in goleta and iv. woodstocks sucks in comparison and the deliver to iv. try the deep dish!", "fresh made dough with a very nice crunch in the crust. i can't call it a crunch, i think its more of a light crisp on the edges.", "ok. so i wanted pizza. and i have had rusty's before, and it was good. sure, they have expensive ingredients, thus a pricier pizza. But what happened to me this rainy night in january is unforgivable. My roommates agreed to order a thin crust pizza, which i felt i would get more for my money with a personal pan pizza than a few slices of cheese and cracker pizza. Horribly, my personal pizza was about $8 and i got the equivalent of 2 thin slices. My roommates just mocked me as i sat there eating my sorry slices. I'm not sure whether they had made me a thin crust personal or not, i didnt see the receipt. In the end, irony reared its ugly head...i felt totally ripped off and my roommates offered me a slice because they had filled up. One is the loneliest number.", "So pizza is pizza, so I wasn't expecting anything grand. (Especially after having Woodstocks--nothing can compete!) But the place looked like this place I used to go back in my town which offered a salad bar too, so I was all ready for it. \n\nFirst off, the salad bar ain't free. But you can't even ADD it onto your pizza; it's a whole different order. It's $6 for a \"large\" which is pretty much your average bowl size. The small was half that. WHAT A RIP OFF. They did have a special though which was two slices of pizza and a small salad bar bowl for $7 total, but it was only for lunch and we were there for dinner. But what's even worse is that you can only make ONE TRIP to the salad bar! I mean if you're going to make us pay an obscene amount for it and have small bowls, you might as well let us get as much as we want, but noooooo.\n\nBut the salad was alright. Nothing worth $6 though FOR SURE. We ordered a half pepperoni and half hawaiian on thin crust, which I admit was good. Again, nothing spectacular. Probably not going to be coming here again unless I'm desperate and it's lunch time.", "After a long day at the beach, none of us were in the mood for eating out before heading to State Street for the night, so pizza it was! This particular location of Rusty's Pizza is located about 5 minutes from the house where I grew up. So I remember always coming here on Friday nights for pizza and to play video games. The building used to be a bank, so one of the rooms is actually the old vault which is kind of cool for children's birthday parties and what not. \n\nWe ordered two large pizzas for everyone to munch on while they pre-partied. One was my request, thin crust with pepperoni and jalapenos. The other was the birthday boy's request, pan crust with pepperoni and meatballs. Yea, I said MEATBALLS! No dinky pieces of sausage here, just big fatty meatballs, yummm. They also have a great salad bar and really good, thick cut potato wedges that you can add to your order. \n\nI know some people think that Rusty's is somewhat pricey, especially when other chain pizza restaurants offer $5 Medium pizzas. But you can really taste the difference in quality, and I think it's definitely worth the extra couple of bucks. Their website usually has a couple coupons too if you want to take advantage of those. \n\nI love Rusty's Pizza Parlor because it's simply one of the great things about living in Santa Barbara. Three stars for the nostalgic factor that gets me every time :)", "Rusty's is a nice place to get pizza if you've only ever had frozen pizza and want to gradually arrive at the level of delight that comes with eating a fresh pie. This location benefits from an old bank theme to entertain the old bank enthusiasts in your party.", "I was passing thru the area on a business trip and I stopped here for a quick lunch since it was right off the freeway. Quick look at the menu and I order their \"Quick Lunch\" special. Personal 2 topping pizza, one trip salad bar and small drink for 7 bucks. Not too bad. Salad bar is fresh and has a nice variety to choose from. Grabbed what I wanted from the salad bar and in about 10 mins or so my pizza was ready. Pepperoni and mushroom. Nice thin crust and crunchy and the ingredients were fresh. Not the best pizza I've had but at the same time it's not the worst. Definitely better than Pizza Hut or Domino's. \n\nI would go back again if I'm in the area again.", "This place reminds me of what pizza hut used to be. I love the CNN blasting and the atmosphere is always chill.", "The pizza here is not too bad but sadly a bit overpriced. But I just recently discovered the \"quick-lunch\" special with includes a personal 2 topping 10-inch pizza, one trip salad bar(which was pretty good with fresh ingredient), and a drink all for $6.95! WIth the old-school arcade games and huge flat screen tv, its a pretty chill place to eat with friends and hang out." ]

[ "Drove by today and saw this cute little dessert place and so glad we came in. They sell an ice cream / cake dessert that is popular in Japan, but they haven't figured out an English name for it yet. We ordered the \"Chocolate Wasted\" and \"I Love U So Match\" and both were so good we devoured them before we realize we forgot to take pictures! It's perfect for when you want to get something sweet after a meal. I do hope they can come up with a name for it though because it's kinda difficult to recommend it to others without a name. The couple who runs the shop is very sweet and we enjoyed our conversations with them. Will be back for sure!", "Absolutely delicious! Got the swirled ube and matcha. The matcha is one of the best I've had because it doesn't taste like the perfume, mock kind of matcha. Cute little place, clean and simple! Would definitely come back for more and recommend if anyone wants some good ice cream!", "so glad we stopped by. The soft serve ice cream with vanilla cake was delicious, the kids loved it. I'm giving them a 5 stars because the staff were super friendly! definitely stopping by the next time we visit Reno again", "Excited to have this place in Reno! Delicious matcha and ube flavors! Like authentic. Friendly staff, looking to get better but what they have as a base is solid. Soft serve, cake and the sauces aren't overly sweet. Hoping they add more flavors!", "I loved the chocolate ice cream ganache and cake\nThe vanilla. Matcha Ube I tried a sample they were all good. Will go back", "I love Ube and Green Tea! Went with a big group and we all got something different. All of them were delish!! The owners were so hospitable and welcoming. So happy to have Ube soft serve!! Thank you!!", "WOW! Best soft serve ever!\n\nI was greeted with such great customer service! I heard about this place through social media--and yes they do have a cute back drop for your Instagram feed. \n\nI am so excited to see more Asian influence food places in Reno. They have such flavorful ube and matcha soft serve. I heard the owners are originally from LA, so they know what they're doing. The soft serve is amazingly creamy and the cake on the bottom makes this dessert feel very wholesome. I got #2 special with the ube/matcha swirl and the condensed milk with the cake--it was bomb dot com. Matcha was very rich and the ube didn't taste like powder. In addition, each ice cream comes with pockeys if wanted (green tea, Oreo, chocolate, strawberry). \n\nGreat place for dates!", "Want a mountain of smooth soft served ice cream, sitting in a nest of moist cake drizzled with sauce ?\n\nYou want KRĒM!! They just opened September 1st in the front side of the Asian Market on Moana. It's going to be a fabulous addition to the space. \n\nI was greeted with smiling faces as soon as I walked in. The concise menu screen is behind the counter. There are four recommendations- the Chocolate Wasted, I Love You So Matcha, Ube Baby, and the Sunday. (Check out picture of menu for details). Or create your own: \nPick a soft serve ice cream from - vanilla, chocolate, ube, or matcha. \nThen decide on vanilla or chocolate cake. \nFinally add a sauce - ganache, strawberry, red bean or condensed milk. \n\nI went with the Chocolate Wasted, of course. The chocolate lover in me couldn't pass that up. The soft serve was smooth and chocolaty. The cake was moist and airy. The ganache was thick and rich. Next time I will have just a tad more ganache added. But the entire combo was Devine chocolate goodness. \n\n**suggestion- to reach the bottom of the dish for every last bite, flip the long handle spoon upside down, it grabs and scrapes all the yumminess you won't want to leave behind**\n\nThe parfait dish is $6.80 and is just the right amount to subdue the sweet tooth, and not make you feel like a little piggy. \n\nI licked it, so it's mine - AND I'm not sharing.", "I absolutely adore this place! Right when we walked in, we were greeted by the owners. They are so personable and welcoming. This is a brand new place and the store is beautifully decorated. Not only is the inside insta worthy, but the ice cream is delicious! The Ube (kind of like taro) is a must try! You are able to choose your soft serve, syrup, and cake. Tip: you can add pocky sticks too! The owners keep the place super clean and you can also ask for a couples stand to hold your ice cream. You can buy la croix to drink which is a great touch. They try to be eco friendly and do not use disposable cups or straws. Make sure to get a stamp card since your 10th treat is free! \n\nCan't wait to come back!", "THEY HAVE UBE. They just opened and it's an aesthetically pleasing place for you Instagram peeps. They have a few different flavors like matcha or UBE. When I walked in the owner was really REALLY nice and helped me out with my order. I got one of their curated flavors, UBE Baby Baby, which by now you should know Ube is my favorite flavor. Ube Baby Baby came with Ube soft serve, vanilla cake, and condensed milk. It was delicious. I would totally come back and bring other people with me. It seems like a really chill place to hang out with friends or a place to grab dessert." ]

[ "Finally! A BYOB restaurant in Northeast Philly with both the food and the atmosphere worthy enough that it could be in one of the cities culinary epicenters. Dont let the unassuming strip mall it resides in fool you!\n\nA friend and I went a few hours into the grand opening for lunch. The place was already packed. We were greeted and ushered off right away to one of the last open tables by partial owner Joe Callahan. \n\nThe decor is fantastic. Its comfortable, modern, warm and a bit rustic. This isnt a place that will hang its hat on decor alone though. No, no..the food here packs a wallop. With each category on the menu including at least one duck infused offering, I felt obliged to order a basket of the Duck Fries. Absolutely phenomenal. I mean, literally one of, if not the best french fry dish ive ever had. The shredded duck and gouda marry together so well here. I also ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. In other words, perfectly cooked. Head chef Kris Serviss is going to do big things! \n\nOur waiter Ernie did a great job and the owner Joe came by at least twice to check on us. For being just 2 hours into their grand opening, things were moving smoothly..surely a sign of good things to come. I cant wait to go back and try out the dinner and brunch menus!", "I have found a new restaurant to have a love affair with. I've been following them closely on Facebook waiting for them to open.....\n\nUpon walking in you are greeted immediately by the super friendly host. You can see the kitchen so no secrets are kept. I appreciate that in a restaurant. My party ordered the quack mac, blue duck sandwich, pork roll burger and both kinds of fries. We are still licking our fingers and wishing we ordered double of everything. \n\nIf I had to complain about one thing it would be that the mac and cheese could have had a little bit more salt but I was very pleased. I can not wait to go back for brunch.\n\nI apologize for the lack of pictures but I ate the food before thinking of taking a picture", "My fiancé and I went to the Blue Duck tonight to help support his friend, Serviss, who is one of the owners. I heard he was a good chef... Didn't know how good. \nIt's byob which I love! \nWe brought a bottle of pinto Grigio and picked the Bruschetta wings for an appetizer. OMG! Delish!\n\nWe contemplated the night before what we were ordering (like we always do). \nHe knew he was getting the Wild Boar Meatloaf which I tasted and was amazing! (He ate it in 30 seconds....)\n\nI got the shrimp and duck tacos with some yummy sauce that was fabulous. I've never eaten anything like it & ate every bite. \n\nReally happy for these guys to have put something like this together in a neighborhood that doesn't have anything like it, or even close to it. Can't wait to go back and try everything else!!!", "My son and I had dinner on the opening night. We were immediately greeted when we walked in. The host was friendly and quickly seated us. Once we were seated the server came to take our order. The decor had a homey feeling to it. We liked the open kitchen set-up. We started with General Tso's wings. The flavor was amazing and the chicken was very moist. They were so good I also got an order to go. My son got the BBLT. The sandwich was huge and filled with a lot of thick bacon cooked to perfection. I got the American Classic Mac and Cheese. The homemade cheese sauce was creamy and delicious. There was a steady flow of people dining at the restaurant. All of the staff were constantly on the move making sure food was delivered in a timely fashion, checking on everyone and refilling drink glasses. Co-owner Joe walked around the restaurant checking on the patrons making sure they were pleased with their order. Menu items are creative, delicious and reasonably priced. It's BYOB which is a plus. We will be going for Sunday brunch as well as returning often to try more of the unique menu items. Give it a try, I think you will be pleased.", "I have been following and waiting for this place to open. Finally was able to get a reservation on Thursday. My husband and I decided to do the dinner menu with some appetizers The Duck House salad was amazing, fresh and bright, could have ate the whole plate instead of sharing. Next we order the General Tso wings, not so good. Pink bordering on red. When I mention this to the waitress her answer was they were big wings and really fresh and they should look like that. I don't think so!!!!! Next my husband ordered the Wild Boar Meatloaf, taste was good. a little dry and the bacon could have been crisper. I ordered the scallops, a little under-cooked for my taste but had good flavor. We will go again and try their sandwiches.", "This place is as good as it gets. The staff are extremely friendly, they have an open kitchen and the cooks look like they are all having fun and enjoying their work. We have visited them twice in their opening week. The first time we went for dinner. We ordered the Award Winning Pork Roll Burger which comes with a fried egg, cooper american cheese, and siracha mayo on a potato roll. Jason took his first bite, and when I asked if I could try it he immediately told me \"No!\" and blocked his plate off. (he did let me get a bite in though) The flavors just explode in your mouth. I ordered the taco special they were having. That came with slow roasted pork tacos with red cabbage, siracha mayo, fresh slices of mango on top and finished with cilantro. They were delicious and the pork was extremely tender. The last thing we ordered was the Blue Duck Fries. If you aren't a duck lover already, these will certainly turn you into one. They start with fresh cut potatoes that they slice in the back. Drop them in the oil and when they are finished and crispy the toss them in duck fat. Cover with Smoked Gouda Cheese sauce and shredded duck. I also suggest you sitting at the counter to eat. It is like dinner and a show while you sit. The kitchen staff is entertaining and you can tell that they are concerned about your meal as you are eating it. They want to make sure that you are having the time of your life there, and you can tell they are. They invite you to join into their showcase. This place is by far one of the best places to eat in NE Philly. If you weren't there for their opening week, you missed out BIG TIME. \n\nWe went for Brunch on Sunday morning which is from 10-4. We both ordered Chicken and Waffles. The Belgian waffles were fluffy and crispy. The chicken was moist and crispy. The smoked paprika give it such a different flavor that you don't want to stop eating.", "Ill keep the updates short. The second visit was just as great as the first. The Pork Roll Burger was ..just..there are no words..but perfection comes to mind. Its a must try.", "Somewhat underwhelming. I was expecting a great NoLibs style eatery, but this didn't quite match up. Ordered the house grind, medium, with salt and pepper fries and strawberry lemonade. The food came out promptly and was hot when it hit the table. The mix in the burger was pretty good, but it came out with not much of a sear and somewhat under cooked and under seasoned. Toppings were one small, inadequate piece of cheddar, a leaf of romaine, and a couple of slices of bland, grocery store style tomaroes. The bun was fresh with a nice crust. The salt and pepper fries were very under seasoned, with little or no salt or pepper and served with a bland, mild cheese sauce. The lemonade was quite good. All told, it was enough for me to give them another shot at a later date, but definately not the go-to place I was hoping for.", "We called to see if a reservation was needed for a late lunch in Saturday. We were told we should be fine and, in fact, there were a few tables open when we arrived around 4pm. Initially we stood at the host/hostess area for a bit without being acknowledged even though the servers and host(s) looked our way a few times. Eventually we took silverware and menus and sat ourselves. Clearly reservations are necessary because a family of 4 arrived after us who had reservations and were promptly seated and served drinks before anyone even acknowledged our presence. We finally caught the attention of the host and asked for a waitress. \n\nOnce we engaged with our waitress, who was sweet and attentive, everything was great. Our drinks were served immediately followed by orders and soon after, our meal. The ducks fries were AMAZING! Perfectly seasoned with tender duck and smooth, creamy cheese sauce. My husband had the pork roll burger. I think you may need to go to confession after eating this- it's so good, you feel like you did something dirty! I had the fried chicken sandwich. Tender and delicious with perfect purple cabbage cole slaw and yummy pickles. \n\nI'm sure the hosting issue was just a little glitch and not at all reflective of the attitude of this restaurant. All of the workers were friendly and constantly approaching customers to see if everything was ok or if they needed anything. We were thanked twice for coming in. The prices were incredibly reasonable considering the quality of the food. We'll definitely go back to try the Mac n' cheese ( which looked just as sinful as the pork roll burger) Maybe we'll try Sunday brunch too, if we can get a reservation!", "Went last night for dinner and it was DELICIOUS!! I got the pork roll burger and it was so good. Small place, kinda loud but it's a cute little neighborhood BYOB. I suggest everyone try it out!" ]

[ "This brand spanking new, upscale restaraunt and bar is a perfect addition to the Frenchmen Street scene. \nFully stocked bar serving up fancy spins on mojitos, martinis, the beer list is top notch, with almost all the local brews represented.\nYou can have your choice of cocktails while you listen to Miss Sophie Lee sing, as this is her newest regular gig. \nThe food will not let you down either, the menu is fabulous. I had the pleasure of crabmeat ravioli and skirt steak puttenesca and I won't lie. I went back for seconds. \nThis is definitely going to be one of my new regular spots to hang out, and keep an eye out on the interwebs, there's a webcast that will be streamed live from the bar!", "Just what Frenchmen needs!!! A classy joint that serves food and is smoke free! Epic vegetarian menu, nice cocktails, and great music. I am overjoyed that this place is here.", "We found Frenchmen Street towards the end of our trip to New Orleans but boy, are we glad we did!\n\nThis place was the perfect meal to end our trip to this fabulous city. We went on a Sunday evening and ended up spending close to 3.5 hours there, the last of which was mainly to enjoy the live music and to sip on some wine! The live music really helped to set the ambience for this restaurant. Would be great for a romantic date!\n\nWe were a group of 3 and had about 6 or so dishes total (this is enough if you don't want too heavy a dinner) with almost two bottles of wine. Some of the dishes that stood out: \n-ceviche\n-cheese plate\n-antipasto plate with divine charcuterie\n\nWe finished off with the tiramisu which also was delicious.\n\nThis place would have gotten 5 stars if not for the fact that it only accepted cash and there was a sign that said we could only order food at the bar (we ended up having 3 different people wait on us, so it was a bit confusing). These things might all be due to the fact that it is a new place.\n\nWe were lucky to find this newly-opened restaurant on our short stay in New Orleans and hope to find our way back someday!\n\nDefinitely, definitely worth a visit.", "We have already been to Three Muses twice and both times have been great. What a welcome addition to Frenchman Street!\n\nThey have lots of \"small plate\" items so you can order 4 or 5 things and have a taste of everything. Their \"feta fries\" are really awesome as is everything else they have.\n\nThey also have live music that starts early so it's a great place to stop off on your way to dba or Snug and get your night going. The two times I have been there the music was fair on the first visit and very good on the second. We have yet to catch Miss Sophie on stage.\n\nI'm not sure if the \"Three Muses\" are the three owners (I have had interactions with all three and they have been great!) or the music, drinks and food but either way it's a GREAT addition to NOLA and Frenchman Street.", "I had been wanting to try Three Muses since it opened so when I was invited I jumped at the offer. The place was packed on a Wednesday evening. The live music consisted of a piano player, upright base and a horn. The music was a little too loud so it was hard to hear conversation, this is one reason I'm not giving 5 stars. There is no table service, you have to order at the bar for everything. I don't know if they plan on adding table service later, they did just open...not 5 stars.\n\nI started the night off with \"The Muse\", one of their specialty cocktails made with gin and strawberries. It was served in a martini glass and was too sweet...not 5 stars. We ordered several, 6, tapas. The ceviche, amazingly fresh, delicious, served with chips. Marinated pork loin, yum. Steamed mussels with fries, don't order this, I don't know what I was thinking. Rabbit empanada, unimpressive. Marinated eggplant bruschetta, I could eat this every time, I want it now. Duck pasta, had a sweet sauce that was slightly unappetizing. \n\nAll over, good meal. Some of the items are hit or miss. I would definitely eat here again.", "Probably should give it 5 but I'm being cautious as I've only been there once. But wow, what a great spot. Love the ambiance. The live music -- a rockabilly guitarist whose name I forget -- set the mellow tone. I loved the clear, smoke-free air, and the votive candles on the tables. I loved that you could actually sit at a table and listen to music, as opposed to being jammed in and having to stand up. This place is more Snug Harbor than Apple Barrel -- for when you're looking for a more mellow evening.", "Not sure that this place needs another rave, but here I go anyway. Last night was an alone-for-dinner night when I got a text from the man friend saying he had a late meeting and to eat dinner alone. Plans with a friend fell through so I headed to Frenchmen, determined to enjoy myself with a book and some wine. The place was pretty well occupied for a 7:30 on a Wednesday night, but by no means packed. The band was 2 men playing bluegrass on their guitars and singing; perhaps because it was a small combo (or if they've read their Yelp reviews), I didn't feel that the music was too loud. I also highly appreciated the signs on every table letting me know to order at the bar, since I can see table service being a pain in such a small space (i.e. how Butcher now has table service at random times and it is confusing and a little awkward in the tight space). \n\nI ordered a glass of Cava and the Mussels and Fries to start. Absolutely deliciou. The mussels came in a roasted tomato-pesto broth, the fries were hand cut and crisp. My only complaint was that the portion size seemed small for $9, even though I understand it's a small plates situation. After I finished this, much too quickly, I additionally ordered the Vodka Cured Salmon with Beet and Potato cake, and the Lobster Eggrolls.\n\nLobster Eggrolls - Kind of a disappointment. They were the American version of eggrolls, so huge, with the thick tough wrapper and a lot of cabbage. However, I pulled the lobster and ate it separately, then enjoyed my vegetable eggrolls with the sweet chili sauce. Alright. \n\nDuck salad - Sadly, my order was taken incorrectly, but it was a delicious mistake. The roast duck still had crispy bits of skin, and was mixed with a baby spinach salad, some dried cherry tomatoes, and a simple vinaigrette. Accompanying the dish were 2 toast points with an herbed goat cheese. \n\nI can't wait to go back with Daniel and stay for longer to try more dishes. Pretty stoked on that Crab and Artichoke ravioli!", "Three Muses is quite the fresh spot on Frenchman. It's a full change from the dingy or dark bars and not always stellar food that make up one of my favorite streets full of live jazz.\n\nTheir food is spot on; ample portions for small plates and exceptionally well chosen ideas that bring a bit of class to the street. The cocktails are well prepared with a nice variety of one of a kind varieties and some old standards.\n\nAtmosphere is perhaps one of their biggest selling points; it's clean and finely lit with a lot of thought put into the decor. Dark wood paneling that makes it feel like a high class english pub and not a 1970s transplant alongside great lighting and punchy local artwork round out the decor.\n\nAdditionally, they host some of my favorite musicians and it's a place where you can sit and really dig into the music without the bustle of drunken patrons spilling their drink on you.", "Stopped by Three Muses last night and had probably the best time I've ever had on Frenchmen Street, at least in recent memory. I've been here several times since they opened, and it's always been great, but last night was truly magical. The music was FREAKING AWESOME (check out Sarah Quintata, she's incredible. Buying her CD was $10 well spent. The album is called Tail of a Whale.)\n\nThere are so many reasons I love Three Muses, it's hard to know where to begin. First of all, it's on Frenchmen Street, and therefore convenient, because I already spend a lot of time there. Secondly, the decor is upscale, classy, elegant. Makes you feel like you've wandered through some kind of portal and ended up on another planet. This is only reinforced when you leave the cool, quiet, laid-back-and-winding-down Three Muses toward the end of a set, only to emerge on the relative chaos of Friday night Frenchmen Street festivities. It's hard to go home when there are battling brass bands up the street. \n\nGreat drinks! I had the Blueberry Bellini (okay, several) and everyone who saw it wanted one, for good reason. The food is equally fantastic, though I've not had a chance to try most of it so far. Guess I'll have to keep going back... ;)", "Great food. Great music. Great service. Went here two nights in a row after randomly finding it while searching for some quality music. Thanks to the random bartender on Royal Street who told us to get in a cab and head to Frenchmans Street if we wanted the highest quality music in New Orleans, and group of bars where the locals go to enjoy good music.\n\nI won't duplicate a series of reviews which already capture and describe the menu etc. but it is impressive.\n\nGreat mojitos." ]

[ "Chef Richard Langston's eponymous restaurant is reincarnation in expanded and updated form of his much loved Boise neighborhood spot Richard's Cafe Vicino which closed on Christmas Eve. Cafe Vicino was our favorite of Boise eateries for stellar service, consistently fine food and 'all people are welcome' vibe of neighborhood casual meets just a little sophisticated. Relocated to downtown inside the new boutique hotel Inn at 500 Capitol and renamed Richard's, our first visit was for a leisurely late lunch. The best things of Cafe Vicino are carried forward here with Chef Langston's stamp on them. Some things may be even better than before.. But there is one big Civil Rights problem here which he needs to fix.\n\nTHE GOOD: Service is as stellar here as in the old location. Many of the wait staff came over to this new endeavor. Food is just as good. Some old menu favorites (cannelloni, anyone?) in tact and menu expanded to add new items. Interior is as warm and welcoming as was Café Vicino but in a new, modern vibe that is beautifully done for design details. It seems seating for diners may be almost double that of little Cafe Vicino. Given Richard's is the in-house restaurant for the hotel, meal service has been expanded to include breakfast and weekend brunch in addition to lunch and dinner seven days a week. Plus they added a cocktail bar; but this is also where the major Civil Rights miss lies.\n\nMENU / FOOD: Menu will change periodically for seasonal updates. Illustrative of the menu, our choices for late lunch included:\n\n*Goat cheese stuffed poquillo pepper with arugula and clementine salad ($8)\n*Risotto with wild mushrooms, apples, hazelnuts and pecorino ($14)\n*Butternut squash \"steak\" sandwich on walnut bun with gorgonzola, spinach and maple glaze ($10)\n*Chocolate caramel tart ($8)\n*Two glasses of wine ($16) and a coffee ($2.50)\n\nVALUE: There are options on the menu for all people who love food from vegans through omnivores and for a bigger budget or a smaller one. Lunch items run approx. $6 - $16, dinner items a bit more and some breakfast items a bit less. Lunch above was about $30 /person before tax. But we could have been enjoyed a sandwich and soft beverage for under $15 / person or soup or salad for about $10 for each of us. \n \nVIBE: Creative blend of industrial and warm, casual, understated elegance. The seating is divided into roughly three parts. a) The narrow bar with high counter seating and a couple of standard height tables at the back. This is also the Civil Rights miss. See Accessibility. b) The front window facing section with square tables and step up booths along the wall. c) The kitchen facing section with standard height banquette seating and chairs. \n\nMusic mix was classic jazz set at just the right level and was a perfect partner for the setting. \n\nACCESSIBILITY: Level in the door, all on one level, multiple standard height seating options in dining room, mostly adequate clear aisle space. BUT the bar violates ADA equal access rules in that people using wheelchairs are denied seating in the bar. The ADA is a Civil Rights law that is 27 years old. The law requires disabled people be allowed equal access to participate - say as in happy hour here. While there are two standard height tables in the back corner of the bar, the high top tables and chairs plus bar stools the owner elected to set up here block disabled user access to seating. We were told disabled people were not welcome in the bar for this reason but could go sit in the restaurant - by themselves - while other able bodied people gathered in the bar. \"Our servers can barely get through everything is so tight, so we know disabled people can't use the bar. They can go sit in the restaurant.\" Segregating any minority population of people to a separate space violates equal access Civil Rights. The ADA is Civil Rights law. This needs fixing. Imagine if the hostess said \"We're sorry, but people who are Latino are unable to be seated in our bar. They can only use the dining room.\" It is the very same kind of discrimination to say it about disabled persons. Tilt. There is no excuse for a new place like this to get this wrong.\n\nPARKING: Parking to the side of Richard's for use of diners has 25 spaces. One accessible parking spot, although not per ADA for van accessible with striping wrong side. Valet parking is offered at the hotel entrance too. The restaurant will validate the valet ticket.", "All in all, a true Richards experience. \n\nWe started the evening at the bar where we just ordered a quick drink while waiting for our table. Quick, friendly and perfect service from the bar. \n\nOnce we moved to our table we ordered the scallop with Sweet Potato and spicy cilantro, although this is on the pricier side of starters at $6.50 per scallop. The combination is really good and well worth the splurge even if it's for only one scallop. I do wish the 'spicy' aspect for the spicy cilantro came through but unfortunately we didn't pick up on any heat at all- this would have really taken it to the next level. We also tried the shrimp and risotto cake app, very good and flavorful. Would definitely order again. My husband also ordered the Tomato Bisque which he found to be under seasoned but otherwise good. \n\nOnto the main show. The significant other ordered the Pork Chop with charred cabbage. He actually enjoyed the cabbage to his surprise and the chop was cooked to perfection with the brine bringing out the best in the chop. I ended up ordering the Linguine with clams and chorizo. Although I found my main to be rather boring and bland, despite all the flavor that chorizo and fresh seafood can bring. However I fully intend on coming back to try another main on the menu.\n\nNow...I can hardly type this out without having severe cravings for the amazing dessert we shared. The Tiramisu Cheesecake was undeniably out of this world good. Even my husband (who doesn't care for Cheesecake) absolutely loved it. It's served with a very good chocolate sauce, not the Hershey kind, more so a homemade milk chocolate base that leaves you fighting the urge to lick the plate clean....literally. \n\nOn a side note, they could use some better organization to their coat check process as we and another group of guests were asked to step into the cost closet to identify our coats, which was slightly alarming and unexpected....perhaps a number process would be better suited as it's less than ideal to sort through a sea of black coats hoping someone else didn't pick yours out by mistake. \n\nWe will certainly return to Richards, although I do strongly recommend reservations as the restaurant itself is on the smaller side, leaving limited opportunity for walk ins or non-hotel guests once the hotel opens and I have a feeling Richards popularity will only grow. Cheers!", "Richard's provides the perfect example of what 5 star should be. Great food, great service and great atmosphere.\n\nMy husband and I chose Richard's as our date night spot this past Wednesday. We did not have reservations and we were easily seated, but I only think that is because most do not realize they are open yet. I'd say it wouldn't hurt to atleast call ahead. Especially once the hotel portion is up and in full force.\n\nThe dining room is comfortable and inviting. Our server commented that the lighting was a bit bright because they had a kink to work out with the electrician. I joked we were like art on display. \n\nOur server seemed very knowledgeable about the menu and what wine paired well with meal selection. \n\nWe choose the Gorgonzola stuffed figs for an app. Very delicious and perfect for a couple to share.\n\nI chose the Grilled Quail. It was cooked and seasoned very well and the sides complimented it nicely. And I agreed with our server, that our wine selection (a Malbec by Modern) paired nicely.\n\nWe chose the caramel chocolate torte for dessert. So good!!! And just the perfect amount for two to share.\n\nSure the prices here are higher, but it's only fair to put into perspective this is a fine dining establishment. So...you do get what you pay for. I can appreciate the smaller plates, allowing the opportunity to have 3-4 courses and not end the night miserably stuffed.\n\nIt was nice to see Richard himself present and checking in on his staff. Touching base with the kitchen, the hostesses and the bar. I also enjoy a restaurant that makes its kitchen viewable to the dining area. It presents an extra level of accountability for preparation and cleanliness in my opinion.\n\nWe never made it to Richard's previous restaurant, but I would say based on this experience we missed out!\n\nIf your concerned about where to park, use the hotel valet service. The restaurant will validate it for you. Boom, there you go!", "Very cool modern interior and awesome staff. Food was great and really think I should try more of it soon. I just tried the burger and fries and the burger was fine perfectly and the fries are easily a top 5 of all time. I tried the Sea Bass which was crazy good and the tomato soup was delicious as well.", "Boise, ID is starting to take off on the culinary side. From an individual like myself who enjoys all sorts of great foods, to the extent of me traveling all over this nation for a great meal and a great drink. This place is a gem. From the moment I sat down, I was asked for my coat to hang. Thrown off for a moment, I found myself smiling with that extra gesture. This is something that can be extremely rare, unless you are in NY or LA. \n\nI ended up ordering an Old Fashioned, which was smooth and delicious, along with a Manhattan as a second drink. Both were done very nicely and smooth. \n\nPlaced an order for seared scallops, which can be a hit and miss in seafood. Prior to this, Chandlers was really the only place that presented this treat that was decent. Well, this place knocks it out of the park. Order the scallops, you won't be disappointed. \n\nFor the entree, the chicken dish was prepared with a slight crispy skin and a warm juicy finish. Whatever was else on this plate as a side was damn well good. I really couldn't put down the fork. I haven't had chicken so good a very long time. \n\nOverall ambience, was very modern elegant. Reminded me of a few spots in Pasadena, Ca that I enjoy visiting. This is a great place for a date, business dinner or if you want to grab a nice drink at the bar and a good meal. I really enjoyed this place. I look forward in visiting real soon again .", "I like it here. There are better restaurants downtown but Richards is definitely worth a visit. The ribeye and sea bass are Must Haves! And just order every dessert because they are all delicious. Great service and good ambiance. I will be back.", "Definitely wouldn't recommend. We ordered a stuffed figs wrapped in prosciutto app, and although the figs were tasty, the prosciutto was really think and not cooked properly...not rendered. So all we could taste was the think prosciutto that actually tasted like a cross between spam and bologna. High hopes dashed with poor execution. \n\nMy wife had the house salad and the special chicken with rice, which was described as the same special from the night before. The problem is the rice tasted like it had been cooked the night before and re-heated for my wife. The chicken was ok, but we definitely expected more flavor. It was kind of bland. On the bright side, the salad was satisfactory.\n\nI had the tomato basil soup (which they have been known for since they had a restaurant in the north end years ago (same name), and it was pretty good. I followed that up with the Pappardelle with scallops and saffron cream. The pasta is made in house. Both the pasta and the sauce were pretty good, but the scallops were very gritty. They hurt to eat....definitely not divers scallops and definitely not cleaned well.\n\nAll in all, skip Richards and opt for Chandlers.", "We had an early Valentine's dinner date here over the weekend and felt it was a big miss, given the hype. Beautiful decoration and ambiance. We walked in through the hotel and interior door was opened for us with a greeter to show us the way. That was over-the-top fancy! We were sat next to the floor-to-ceiling windows and, on a 30-degree night, that chill came inside and by end of meal, I was left wishing I had kept my coat, rather than take hostess up on her offer to hang in closet. Wine selection good. As another Yelper reviewed, we had the Gorgonzola-stuffed figs and it was all bacon. Didn't even taste Gorgonzola in the first one... the bacon overwhelmed everything. Hubs ordered tomato basil soup and that was good. Most soups are served piping hot, but this wasn't and ready to enjoy right away. I ordered a butter leaf salad with chick peas, but the name should've been reversed... I had 200 crunchy chickpeas on my plate, again, overwhelming other ingredients. My entree was the sea bass, cooked beautifully, high could've benefited from a sauce. Served atop a cauliflower purée and arugula. Hubs had quail. The bird was cooked to perfection, but the plate experience was odd... very large cold pickled chili peppers atop a warm meat with bulky potato fingerlings. With this much hype, you expect some pop and the pairings and balance of ingredients was off for us. Hazelnut pot de creme was amazing so we finished on a high note. I'd go back for that, as a post-movie dessert. Service was a bit slow, considering the restaurant wasn't full. We were waiting awhile to order to the point another server noticed and asked us to confirm we were being attended to. And, it took 3 trips to serve coffee, one each for brew, then cream and sugar, and a few minutes later, a spoon finally arrived to stir it together. So a few kinks to work out there. Glad we gave it a go, but not in a rush to return.", "Visited Richard's for brunch Saturday 2/18. Good service, but shockingly first bad meal we have had there, and we were long time frequent Cafe Vicino patrons before their move and rebranding. Potatoes that came with my eggs and bacon, and my wife's eggs and sausage we're OVERsalted to the point of being inedible. Toast was cold upon delivery. Hope this was a one-off.", "Service was great, we kept mentioning what great timing when staff would bring out food after our appetizer, bread, salads were done, waters kept filled and drinks.\n\nI ordered the ribeye med rare with kale and fingerling potatoes and my wife ordered the pork chop with cabbage. The steak was decent enough but I was sad to see for $42 it wasn't pan seared (seemingly) to create that wonderful Maillard reaction which gives steak that distinctive browning flavor like you get at other fine steak house restaurants. At best it compared to a ribeye from Goodwood, didn't feel it was worthy of $42\nThe highlight of the night was the pork chop with brine which was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The charred cabbage was surprisingly good also. I highly recommend it & was well worth every penny.\nFor drinks we had wine and I had an old fashioned which while good, I was disappointed they didn't use a solid cube of ice for the drink, but rather filled it with ice. Take note and go to Gridiron or Fork to see how they make theirs! \nOverall good experience, smaller than expected, so reserve a booth if you can." ]

[ "Temaki Sushi replaces an older sushi restaurant I just knew as \"Sushi\" because of the \"Sushi\" sign in the window. It could have been called \"open\" or \"closed\" for all I know. My wife, son and I go out for sushi at least once a week in the Philadelphia suburbs that emulates what you would find at Blue Fin in Plymouth Meeting or Tomoe Sushi in NYC. \n\nThe quality of the food was very good and there are some interesting items on the menu like their seaweed salad which combines several different types and colors of seaweed. The old standby, Spicy Tuna handroll, was fresh and tasted great.\n\nThey need to work out some ambiance kinks. Our appetizer (seaweed salad and edamame) came out quickly which was great, but the rolls we ordered came out right behind them - a little too quickly. No one likes to be rushed.\nThe music needs to be something from satellite radio and a little more suited to the ambiance. I was turned off by the non-commercial free rock station playing a little too loudly.\n\nAnd when you're presenting the check, it needs to be in a Visa or Amex folio. A receipt placed on the table quickly soaked up the splattered soy sauce. I nice orange, or piece of fruit, for good luck usually accompanies the check in Chinese and Japanese style restaurants. It's a nice little thank you for spending almost $80.00 on a Tuesday night.\n\nWe'll definitely be back!", "That two star review shrieks like a shill. If it is a shill they have every right to be nervous. I've eaten sushi all over the greater Philadelphia area and without a doubt the sushi at Temaki ranks at the top. \n\nSteven's review is spot on. I was there the first week they soft-opened. As with any place less than a month old, they were working out the kinks in things like music selection and receipt delivery. Happy to report that since then they are playing relaxing bossa nova and all of my precious checks have arrived safe and protected.\n\nPick up a nice bottle of two or wine, stop in and enjoy. I suggest a tuna tartar appetizer, 2 or 3 special rolls. You'll walk out of there very happy and I'm betting with a new sushi spot for your rotation. I have been going in once or twice a week and have really grown fond of this restaurant, and starts with their sushi chef. I liked the man immediately, and I suppose I have become a bit of a shill in my own right. I don't benefit financially from them doing well, but I do wish them the very best.", "I have had take-out twice from here! they're relatively fast and everythings fresh. The lunch specials are a good deal - 3 rolls for around $12 or 2 rolls for about $10. I have yet to try any of the real entrees; they seem a little pricey. The shrimp tempura roll and the spicy tuna roll are both awesome. The last time i went (yesterday) the rolls were not as tight? .. or tightly rolled as they could be.", "On a whim I walked into Temaki to grab a take-out lunch. Well-priced, fresh, yummy....and the servers were especially accommodating. Will definitely go back for dinner!", "I would have given Temaki 4 stars if the review were based only upon the quality of the food; unfortunately, our last outing here was marred by painfully slow service. Admittedly, it was a Wednesday evening during Media's Dining Under the Stars, and the servers admitted that with only one chef and one helper in the kitchen, back-ups were common. However, even short-handed with added outdoor tables, I think that an hour between ordering and service of just 4 rolls is simply too long. (They did provide us with a complimentary miso soup during our wait...)\n\nPros: Very fresh, tasty sushi with innovative rolls and appetizers, very reasonable prices, friendly and helpful servers\n\nCons: Painfully slow service, at least on Wednesday night, Dining Under the Stars events.", "This stylish sushi restaurant is small but very friendly!\n\n If you decide to go on a Wed. night during \"Dining Under the Stars\", be prepared for a bit of a wait because the place fills up quickly and the kitchen is not large. The outside tables are hard to get. However, it is totally worth the wait.\n\nThe food here is fresh, beautifully presented and tastes wonderful.\nWe love the sushi, cold noodles, seaweed salad, tempura and miso soup. They also make a beautiful churashi. BYOB. \n\nI like to ask lots of questions. The chef has spent many years learning his craft in Japan and Taiwan. Chef Aki is an artist in the kitchen, very creative and also proud of what he does.\n\nAnthony, the manager, is very hands-on and does an excellent job with his waitstaff , ensuring that everything is running smoothly on the dining floor. He and his staff are very welcoming.\n\nMy family and I have eaten many times at the restaurant , have ordered carry-out and also have ordered large platters for a special party. All of our guests at the party commented on the awesome platters, very impressive.\n\nI can't say enough about this place. So happy to have this gem of a place in Media! Keep up the good work and attention to detail!", "ok so it was a quiet thursday evening in media and this was our first time at Temaki based on a friend's referral. quiet simply, the sushi was amazing, fresh and positively great. a few ambience and wait staff issues to be worked out still. the stoools were a little tipsy and like most restaurants it seems, the tables a bit wobbly. however, the quality of the food made up for everything by far. will be going back frequently. someone just needs to train their young waiter a bit on what exactly sushi is, how it is served and pronounced and the rest is all good. welcome to media and what a nice change from Asie and Margaret Kuo's!", "ok, round 2 on saturday early evening for my wife and I. after such a wonderful surprise, we doubled back for another round of alaska alaska rolls and Tuna, etc... needless to say, our 2nd turn at the tables was even better than the first. they were getting ready for a busy night and the food was again very impressive. specifically i would like to mention the Miso soup. in most restaurants \"hibachi\" houses this comes with your meail and is typically a tired, bland tasting broth with some seaweed on the bottom. not this time! amazing, rich flavor with the usual seaweed, but you will never have \"hibachi\" house miso again! to the staff at Temaki, we will see you again very soon indeed. good luck!", "I know, I'm the only one who didn't like this place. First of all, our service was excellent. But everything we had here tasted horrible..... And they said the fish came in fresh that day, so it could have only been the chef. \n\nLet me start with the appetizers: Seaweed salad - presented beautifully but in a ginger dressing and I like the traditional vinegar and sesame seeds. In addition, the seaweed had a really funny flavor. Again, very pretty. We had the rock shrimp tempura which was mushy and not at all crunchy. And it didn't have the tempura taste. The sushi was so bland! This is true for all 6 rolls we ordered - including the special rolls which should knock your socks off. The yellow tail was chewy, the tuna was gummy, the salmon was cooked and extremely fishy tasting. We actually left sushi rolls on our plate. (actually I threw some to the birds). since when does a sushi lover not eat every last bite? I'm saving my money for the knock-me-out bowl-me-over special Azie sushi rolls. Don't believe the good reviews. Sorry folks, this is a miss.", "Much, much worse than Sweets 'n Stuff. We had pitifully slow service, and we actually had to ask for more water, and physically walk up to the counter to close our bill. Bah.\n\nThe sushi itself is not that great. Our sushi chef (we sat at the counter) actually told us not to get something by quietly shaking his head \"no\" when we attempted to order a particular item off the menu. Wow. On the upside, our rolls were extremely creative (lime on tuna with spiciness!), but the fish was mediocre at best. I didn't get sick from this place, so they don't get 1 star, but man, I wouldn't repeat my visit here again. I'd rather go to the highly overpriced MKuo's." ]

The curry goat was so delicious for my lunch and ate it all and the plantains are very tasty. I ordered another to go for tonight. They have authentic varieties of food and also drinks. The whole interior was a bright white very chic and classy clean look. You will enter this place and you will say WOW...Try it and you won't regret. It's a family owned so the whole family put lots of love on this restaurant business. Chef Janice and the whole family member are all polite and really give the best customer service.", "Best value for your money when you want to eat delicious and tasty Caribbean food! Family owned business and Chef Janice cooked all the food and her decor are so chic and classy clean looking. A bright white atmosphere that your jaw will drop when you enter this restaurant. Check out pics I posted!", "Now this is a place I expect to be returning to many times! The food is great, the value is quite reasonable, and the Owners (Andrae & Janise Thompson) are very welcoming, and deserve much success!\n\nThe biggest issue one might have with Yah Mon is finding it. While it has a Platt address, you can't see it from Platt. IT'S BEHIND THE UPS STORE. Miss it and you will miss a GREAT experience!\n\nWe wanted to experience as many tastes as possible, so we ordered the Taste of the Islands ($19.99) and the Curried Tofu ($8.99 small plate). All entrees start with a salad of mixed greens, and even that was a hit.\n\nThe thing that jumps right out at you is the value proposition. With one exception, all the entrees are under $20.00. HUH!? Many of the entrees can be served as small or large plates. If our $8.99 Curried Tofu was the small plate, the large must be huge.\n\nThe food really is the star here, thanks to Chef Janise. It's been at least 15 years since I enjoyed Curried Goat that much. The Ox Tails truly were tender with meat just falling off the bone. The Jerk Chicken could easily be the very best in the Tampa Bay area. Even the condiment selection is authentic!\n\nJust when we thought we had had enough, we decided to have a crack at dessert. We thought we would split a piece of the Rum Cake, and it was GREAT. Chef Janise offered a tasting of the Bread Pudding, and it was FABULOUS!! Don't leave without trying at least one of the desserts!\n\nThere are scores of places to get your meals in and around the Hyde Park area. If you are not adding Yah Mon to your short list, you might as well stay at home....\n\nWhen you do get there, please offer my warm regards to both Andrae and Janise!", "We were regulars at the family owned Japanese restaurant at this location and were sad to see them close, apparently due to a family emergency some months ago. So, when Yah Mon opened up earlier this month we thought we would give it a try. It was great to see that Ya Mon is another family owned and operated restaurant. Andre and Janise, the husband and wife owners/operators, are incredibly welcoming. My daughter and I originally stopped in just to have a quick look and grab a menu but were so taken by Andre and Janise, the menu, and what they had done to the place that we decided to stay for dinner. We ordered the Blackened Salmon with mango salsa and the Tilapia sauteed with vegetables, both dishes were served with a rice and beans and plantains. Both dishes were truly excellent in flavor, presentation and quality. We also tried the coco bread (excellent) and the Johnny Cakes (also excellent). We ended the dinner with an order of the homemade Bread Pudding and slice of Chocolate Cake, again excellent. With a hungry teenager waiting at home we added a to go order of the Jerk Chicken and a slice of the Coconut Cake - the chicken was very tasty (somewhat spicy but not too spicy) and the Coconut Cake, according to my son was so good that he didn't offer me a taste.\n\nSo, it is without hesitation that I can recommend Yah Mon to anyone who likes great Caribbean food served well in a great little restaurant with a chic design by wonderful people.\n\nMake sure and visit Andre and Janise - Janise cooks everything herself and is originally from the island of St. Thomas! \n\nIf you live on Bayshore, Downtown or Davis Islands, this is a must visit and also a great option for to go meals when you don't feel like cooking.", "Delicious food and very friendly, gracious owners. My jerk chicken was tender and extremely tasty, a little kick but not too hot. If you like Caribbean food, you'll love this place. It's located behind the UPS store on Platt.", "Great new place in Hyde park area. I had no idea they were even open here in the neighborhood. Food is much better than any regular takeout place, more for dining in. Everything we tried was just perfect. Definitely coming back.", "Hey Mon IT'S YAH MON - Caribbean Cuisine done right- My first trip to YAH MON was incredible. I tried Taste of the Islands although I had never had goat before and was a little apprehensive. The food is AMAZING Chef Janise whipped up the best food I have had in a long time. The goat was tender and juicy and very very tasty without being overbearing; Oxtail also very good - loved it . the Jerk Chicken was well prepared and tasty. EVERYTHING was GREAT from fresh salad to desert. My server was Melissa who was very professional and attentive without 'hanging'. I also tried the Banana Fritters and Fried Plantains which were delicous. I finished off with Rum Cake - SOooooooo GOOD !! YAH MON is now going to be one of my regular stops .

They have a good mix of sweet and savory brunch food, though I think the sweets there are the best. The BMW (banana, maple, walnut) pancakes were great. They also give you quite a bit of freedom in customizing your meal including a generous selection of fillings for making your own omelette.", "Great little spot for brunch. I stopped here on my last trip to Philadelphia before heading out in the morning, and I have to say the food was good, the drinks were good (as I always have to have my Bloody Mary's with any brunch), and the place was absolutely adorable. I believe it was once an old bank that has now been renovated into a retro 60's style restaurant that reminds me of something out of the Brady Bunch, but a little cooler. If you're in the city, why not.", "My buddy and I went for lunch (he's a Philly local; I'm an Auslander) and weren't disappointed. Service was quite fast and the food great. They serve the coffee in those ceramic off-white diner style mugs which I think always makes coffee taste better. \n\nI love the 70s vibe of this place. It has a nice cozy feel and the carpet makes one feel like they're walking into the Jungle Room.\n\nI would visit again when I'm back in Philly!", "This is one of the \"cheaper\" Stephen Starr restaurants, but don't let that fool you into thinking that it serves \"cheap\" food. The quality is still there, which is expected from a Stephen Starr restaurant. They serve mainly American food, good quality, and good drinks. Good place to hit up before partying in Old City.", "When we are performing on tour it is always a challenge to find restaurants whose kitchens are still open after our show. So Jones definitely gets a point for serving good food late. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup which was very tasty. They offer a great way to order salads as well : for a flat rate of $11 you can choose a whole range of ingredients from a list at the table to customize your salad. \n\nunrelated to Jones, I wasn't feeling well the night we visited here so I am sorry my opinion can't be fully formed. I will however definitely try it out again next time I am in town.", "Decor - great! \nFood - not so much.\n\nMy boyfriend had a hankering for fried chicken one evening, and we had yet to venture over to Jones, so we saw this as our opportunity to give it a try.\n\nWe got appetizers of potato pancakes and the crab & spinach dip. The potato pancakes were not quite what we were expecting in a potato pancake and on top of that, not very good either. The crab dip was delicious however!\n\nMy boyfriend finally got his fried chicken (the fried chicken basket), but was disappointed with it. It was mainly dark meat (so steer clear if like me, you can't stand dark meat) and on top of that the chicken was REALLY dry. Yuk. The fries were no better than fast food quality, but the cole slaw was quite enjoyable.\nI ordered a special which was mahi mahi. Also very dry. Apparently the theme at Jone's is \"we like our meat dry!\" Too bad I don't.\n\nAll in all I was just really unimpressed and frankly disappointed by Jones.\nI'm not saying I'll never return, I'll probably even try it again one day for lunch or something - but I think there is definitely room for improvement.", "Sometimes I just really crave a Thanksgiving dinner, if you ever share my cravings, you should head to Jones. Their \"Thanksgiving dinner\" is great, it comes complete with cranberries. The menu is very broad and features everything from carved turkey to fried chicken and waffles. The apps here are also tasteful, try the hummus and Caesar salad!\n\n Jones has a very unique, casual atmosphere with a decor that is reminiscent of the Brady Bunch set. My recommendation is to start your night at Jones for good \"home cookin\" and a few of their specialty drinks, and then make your way down to an Old City lounge or bar.", "I went to Jones for dinner on a Thursday night. The place was crowded, but the service was great -- friendly, quick, attentive. Unfortunately, the food was bland. I ordered the pistachio-crusted tilapia and my compadre had the crab cakes. Both were fine, but not good. Tab including drinks was about $87 + tip. My conclusion: concept is good, execution isn't quite there. At least the atmosphere and service were worth the visit.", "This place is great for brunch or breakfast food. Besides that, I think not.\n\nTater tots in a restaurant? Incredible.

I would not hesitate to go back.", "I've heard about the St. Pete location for a couple years now so was super excited when I heard one was coming to Wesley Chapel. Went there with my wife and two young children. We ordered a meatball pizza, the salmon dish, a house salad and a small Mac and cheese. Everything was fantastic. Probably the best Salmon dish we've ever had. The Mac and cheese was incredible as well, not your typical restaurant Mac and cheese. The meatballs on the pizza were great, as well as the fresh mozzarella, basil and caramelized onions. Highly recommend Noble Crust. We can't wait to go back and try other menu items.", "We had dinner this past Saturday night and everything was fantastic. Great ambiance, drinks and service. Our waiter (Tim) recommended the P.C.Shrubbery which my wife thoroughly enjoyed and I had the Blood and Sand which was also great. We opted to not go for appetizers since we had a late lunch but both of the dinner dishes we had were fantastic. We decided to share 2 dishes so we could sample multiple things. The Margherita was delicious and you could taste the freshness of it. But our favorite was by far the Southern Fried Chicken with Macaroni and Cheese, YOU MUST TRY THIS! It was delicious, tender and moist. We could have easily enjoyed 2 orders of this it was so delicious! We will definitely be returning soon as it was a great experience from top to bottom.", "Omg!

The Bloody Mary was a bit too spicy for everyone but the complimentary mimosa with the brunch plate was a great deal. We'll be back soon!", "Welcome to Wesley Chapel Nobel Crust! Finally a non-chain place for adults that serves an eclectic menu and real drinks. I visited twice, once for dinner and once for Sun brunch. Both visits were exemplary. For only being open 4 days, the service was well put together. Food was served promptly, used dishes magically disappeared. Training appears to have been very thorough. Food...good to excellent on all. Gnocchi was perfectly done, light and non-doughy with a sauce lightly touched by cheese. Salmon perfectly cooked and savory. RIgatoni with short ribs is a rich, heavy meal but eat half and take the rest home as it is still very tasty the next day. The chicken and waffles had a crispy, juicy chicken breast which was perfectly done and accompanied by a delicious spicy sauce. The waffle was fairly plain but ok. It was accompanied by \"pecan butter\" which was a little bland, I might have preferred regular butter as it didn't add much. Didn't matter, the bourbon syrup was delicious. I think there was supposed to be a cucumber/watermelon salad but I didn't see that. The sausage gravy was creamy and mild with a small amount of sausage. What shone in this dish was the light and buttery biscuits. Yum. Last chocolate budino. A lovely little souffle cup of cake with a liquid chocolate center, salted caramel and real whipped cream. Share it. The negatives? Tight space on the patio for servers. The music for brunch was way too loud making conversation difficult. I am always confused as to why restaurants want a circus environment with blaring music. It was definitely noise overload. At least make the quality of the music a little less frantic. This could easily be a go-to for dates as that is lacking in Wesley Chapel but not if no one can talk. Bill for two for dinner was $90 for one drink, one red wine, one appetizer, two main courses, and one dessert and includes a 22% tip for excellent service. For the quality of the food, that is an excellent price.", "Holy yum!! Amazing flavor, unique menu options with a twist on your favorite Italian and southern dishes!

Other than that I will be back many times.", "Dropped in today for a quick bite to eat around 4 p.m. and wasn't completely disappointed or completely satisfied.\n\nFor starters, our waiter was either close to getting off his shift or really just not in the mood to do his job. We were seated and way too long later our drink orders were taken and when they were delivered the waiter quickly took off again without taking orders for appetizers. Too much time later, our waiter returned and at that time we put in our appetizer order together with our entrees. Our waiter didn't return until after another waiter brought out our food.\n\nWe had the salmon cakes, the cabo burger, fish tacos, and the Reuben sandwich, all with a side of sweet potato fries. All of the food was decent. The salmon cakes were tasty, the Reuben was okay, and the tacos were ehhh...okay as well (I don't like pineapple on my fish tacos). The cabo burger was almost terrific; the beef patty was slightly bland but otherwise very well prepared and tasty with all the fixings. The sweet potato fries and spicy mayo sauce were a fantastic treat--the best part of the entire meal. All in all nothing to write home about.\n\nWould I recommend it? Not really.

Highly recommend you give it a try.\n\nLilly's has been a presence on the corner of Court and Main in Doylestown for quite some time. A few years ago they added a Mexican Restaurant called Cafe America, serving Tex-Mex / Latin American food. Their most recent adventure is the addition of a BBQ joint called Smokin' Lils. Here you will find ribs, pulled pork, chicken by the half, and sides like macaroni, cole slaw, and corn bread. Not quite as good as what you would find in the south, but certainly not bad especially in Doylestown. You may also want to try out Duck Deli in New Britain for more of a North Carolina flavor and make your choice which one you like better.\n\nPlace is decorated in faux southern farm style with corrugated metal and distressed features. Portions are fine, service is good, and desert is yummy. Fine for takin'-out or eatin'-in.", "BBQ in the Northeast doesn't get better than Smokin' Lils!\n\nTheir pulled pork is perfection and they put Duck Deli and Mesquito Grill to shame.", "I've been to Smokin' Lil's a bunch of times. I always get the beef brisket salad, and every time I've ordered it, it has been delicious. The corn bread is good, and the corn bread croutons on the salad are just as good. \nYep, the menu is written on a chalk board. The amazing thing is that they also have paper menus if you are struggling to read the LARGE print on the chalk board. \nThere is sauce on the table if you need more, and the staff has always been nice enough to oblige any request I've had.\n\nBBQ is BBQ. \nDoylestown is Doylestown. \nEnough Said.", "We went here after getting it suggested to us by the desk at theMichener Museum. Boy were we glad!\n\nMost of us had the pulled pork sandwich, one had the chicken salad sandwich, and one at the pulled chicken sandwich. All were tender and delish.\n\nThe meat came out somewhat sauceless. Being a northerner I like a lot of sauce, so I dumped on more which was on the table. This is southern style bbq - runny, vinegary sauce. Also, in true southern style they serve coleslaw ON the sandwich. Boy was it yummy! They must smoke on premise as the whole place smelled of smoke.\nThe bread/rolls were awesome as well.\n\nWe got several sides - mac and cheese, sweet potatoes and potato salad. Everyone really enjoyed the first two, but the potato salad had a bit of an unexpected bite, and no one was really a fan.\n\nAll in all, a great inexpensive, casual find in ritzy Doylestown. We will be back!", "Food was very good. Not heavy with BBQ sauce but I would have liked more! There were bottles to put more on though. Small place with cozy atmosphere. Definetely will eat there again!!", "Went here with a crew of 8 other hungry meat eaters this past weekend. We're always trying to find new BBQ places to try and Lil's won the toss this time. \n\nThe place is pretty small and with tables can only seat about maybe two dozen people max. There's no waiter service as the guys preparing just let you know when your food is ready and you grab it from them across the counter. It appears that they do a pretty brisk takeout business. \n\nWe opted to try 2 full racks of ribs, 2 whole chickens, a pound of pulled pork and a pound of beef brisket accompanied by large sides of baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad and some cornbread. Now this is Texas style BBQ which means the food is smoked and the ribs and chicken have a dry rub on them and it's up to you to add wet sauce if you like. The pulled pork and brisket comes out wet though. I am more accustomed to Southern style BBQ but I know good BBQ and that being said, everything we got meat wise was tender, juicy and delicious. The chicken was definitely the stand out. It was one of the best smoked chickens I've ever eaten. The BBQ sauce on the table looks to be a southern BBQ style vinegar based sauce however it is much sweeter. With the exception of the cornbread which was sweet, moist and cake like, the sides were the only disappointment for me food wise. The potato salad was very dry and needed more wet ingredients (mayonnaise and/or sour cream), the coleslaw was forgettable and the baked beans were just ho-hum. \n\nThe worst thing about Smokin' Lils is the parking. Doylestown has gotten to be quite the chic place anymore with lots of nice shops that weren't there a decade ago. As a result, finding parking on the street or in one of the public lots scattered about town can be a bit daunting. \n\nIt's not southern style BBQ but the food here is very good, the workers are friendly and the prices reasonable. My ripping of the side dishes not withstanding, our group would gladly visit Smokin' Lils again.", "I dined here on February 13th; not only was the food mediorcre to poor, I got violently ill shortly after eating there. In retrospect, the place did not look clean and the cook looked clueless. I am following up with the Board of Health of Buck's County.", "My husband and I have been big fan of Smokin Lil's since it opened. We love all the food! BUT we just ordered carry out and when my husband got home and opened the bag I was SHOCKED! They have redone their menu! We used to order the \"I Could Just Bust\" this could serve 3 people or 2 with left overs. Now FOR THE SAME PRICE it is called \"The 3 Way \"and serves 1! And to top it all off I asked him to get me a root beer. This used to be hanks for 2.50, now you get a barqs for 2.50! Crazy!", "Excellent BBQ right in the heart of doylestown. My wife and I sat outside, broke out a few beers that we brought along, and stuffed ourselves. The brisket sandwich was amazing, and the pulled pork was great too, but #2 in my book. Seemed to be a good crowd for 7:30pm on a friday night, but we didn't have to wait to find a place to sit. By the time we left at 8:30, it was packed with a line to order. Oh - the poblano chicken soup was great, too...", "I don't know much about BBQ. I could never tell you the difference between Texas BBQ and North Carolina BBQ and Tennessee BBQ and any other state's BBQ.\n\nI just know what I like. And I love Smokin' Lil's.\n\nLily Salvatore, who owns neighboring Lily's Gourmet and Cafe America, opened Smokin' Lil's a year or so ago. And then she sold it to a guy named Mike. He kept the name - and apparently the recipes, since the quality hasn't changed.\n\nI always get the pulled pork sandwich - tender, juicy pulled, smoked pork with a light covering of tasty BBQ sauce on a big, dense bun that puts nearby Duck Deli and its wimpy grocery store hamburger buns to shame. The sandwich usually comes with cole slaw in the sandwich, but I get it on the side. (I'm Pennsylvania Dutch; we don't mix food.) It also comes with some plain Herr's potato chips. Add a drink, and lunch is about $10.\n\nFried dill pickle spears, a.k.a. The Most Delicious Thing Ever, cost an extra $4.\n\nI'm salivating just thinking about it.\n\nThe Husband likes the pulled chicken sandwich. A lot of my friends are fans of the smoked turkey sandwich. And the saladsare the biggest salads I've ever seen. But I've never tried any of those things. Why try something new when I know the pulled pork and fried pickles are amazing?" ]

If you only go for the souvlaki you will not be disappointed, but try some of the other diner standards while your there. Good atmosphere and an obviously local feel, coupled with cheap prices make this place a perfect breakfast/lunch place.", "Lovely downtown diner, breakfast/lunch only. They make a mini-Greek salad--just the right size. Best dressing in the state--neutral, not tart. Homemade grilled pita. Great potato salad. Yum-O lemon soup. I'm not a tsatsiki sauce fan but others love it here. Lamb gyro was good. They have non-Greek \"diner\" options but I can't get past the ethnic options. Great baklava, too! I'd give a 4th star if they ditched the Pepsi products. Walking distance from the Spa.", "Came down to Safety Harbor looking a different place for breakfast and decided to try Athens. Went with the eggs and French Toast with a side of crisp bacon. Everything came as ordered and tasted wonderful. The server was very friendly, as was everyone else working there, and always timely with the coffee warm up. I noticed quite a few local regulars. That's always a good sign. Very fast and food brought to the table hot. I will return.", "Solid. Good breakfast - reasonable prices. Attentive service. I tried the Greek lemon chicken soup - outstanding!\n\nWhy not more stars - place needs a little cleaning up and some updating. No big thing, but the carpet kind of grossed me out. In spite of that, we ate here twice and were happy both times.", "The husband-wife team are a charming comedy act. We love them. We go to this place when we're in town visiting my retired father. He's a frequent visitor and has gotten to know the owners very well.\n\nWe typically catch breakfast and it's good. Service is fast, friendly and reasonably priced. It's also conveniently located.", "Actually make a great cheeseburger for lunch, even though it is traditionally Greek.", "Great for breakfast. For being in the middle of a beach town, it really has a country feel to it. The waitresses seem to have been there forever and all have a story. Old men wander in and are greeted by everyone who works there like he's been eating there for thirty years. I know it supposed to be Greek, but for breakfast at least, I felt like I was in Mayberry with Aunt Bea, Andy and the gang.", "Best Gyro I've had in a very long time. Service Excellent. Just moved office here... looking forward to trying their breakfasts.", "This is a small greek restaurant in town (Safety Harbor) that I have eaten at twice now. There is nothing fancy about it, but the service was prompt and attentive throughout. The food was adequate for the price. I had fried eggs, toast, hash browns, and baccon. They only get 3 stars because the place could use a \"makeover\". Its dated and could use a little cleaning up.", "I really miss the 'greasy spoon' type restaurants of the Northeast. If you're with me, you gotta try out this place. Great place for weekend brunch. Food is basic but good. Fried eggs. Pancakes. French toast. Biscuits and gravy. Steak and eggs. Awesome!

[ "Always great steak. Good ambience and service, but the food is the key. A crowd-pleaser.", "I tend to prefer this Stoney River over the one on West End for two reasons. \n\nFirst of all, the location is much bigger and has a more comfortable open feel to it. Secondly, the parking lot is big enough that you don't have the \"Free Valet\" parking of the other location. While I appreciate that it DOES say it's free, I feel awkward not tipping the valet. \n\nIt seems as though the Steaks are better as well, but it's entirely possible this is just a subjective feeling because of how much more I enjoy this location. \n\nThe Staff is always professional and courteous, and they don't scoff if you send your steak back for being undercooked. They do tend to go easy on the cooking there and my girlfriend observed that you might wish to go up a step if you used to a more well cooked steak. I tend to order medium rare, so its hard for me to be disappointed. If you want something Medium, you might want to go Medium Well Done. \n\nOverall, if you have a choice between the two, I'd recommend this Stoney River, but either way you are going to be happy.", "So we drove up to this restaurant thinking it would be great! We though we would be getting some amazing steakhouse environment treatment and flavors! The outside of this place did not make me think I was going into a 5 star. But I was eager to let the outside architecture slide away and let the food inside make up for it. We walked in, and found that the interior was quite cozy and warm feeling : ). \n\nThere was no more than 12 people in the restaurant at the time of dinning. We were greeted by the waiter, asked what we would like drink. I just got water with a lemon slice. \n\nWe ordered our food... My cousin and I both ordered the 10oz Prime Burger, cooked rare. Topped with your choice of Vermont white cheddar and peppered bacon or Gruyère cheese and caramelized sweet onions 11.99... We chose the Gruyère cheese and caramelized sweet onions Burger with the side of Truffle Oil Parmesan Fries... \n\nWith 12 people in the establishment how long could it take to cook a rare burger?... We waited for quite some time. I really don't mind waiting for my food... really. Just saying. Then as we were waiting for the food, the waiter brings us some awkward timing poppy seed rolls with some kind of honey/brown sugar butter... I'm not sure if this was a normal thing to receive these donut whole type of things after waiting for the food for quite some time... \n\nAt this time.. I open my napkin to use my knife to spread the butter and.............. there was dried food spread all over the black napkin... It was quite nasty... I reached behind me to the empty table and replaced the napkin/silverware. When this happened I set the dirty napkin/silverware on the edge of the table anticipating the return of the waiter.... When he returned, to his surprise he found a crappy, nasty napkin that should had been clean, he implied that they have been having this problem lately and will take it to the manager... \n\nHe responded very well lol! (honestly I really did not care about the indecent all that much, although it was pretty nasty to open my napkin and find some nasty dried food from some other person)... \n\nThe food was not that good when it finally arrived. When I order a burger rare, I am expecting a rare meat burger with a nice bun and the other good stuff that comes on it... I received a very strategically placed burger with \"designer\" looking, placed truffle fries... I would rather them just plop my burger on the plate and bring it to me before the bun gets soggy. My burger was soggy from juice, and blood. It was really nasty. The truffle fries tasted like acrylic... yes.... acrylic... Thats not what I want to see when I go to a \"fancy CHAIN restaurant\"... It was a chain.... Plain and simple. Great looking interior for what it was.. but it was a chain... More reason for me to dislike chains...\n\nAfter the meal... The severer told us that he would bring us the desert menu so we could choose anything we wanted off the desert menu (free of charge) TO SHARE. Because of the napkin indecent...\n\nWe ordered... of COURSE the most expensive item they had on the menu. THE Triple-Layer Chocolate Ganache Cake with Chocolate ganache filling made of semi-sweet chocolate melted with heavy cream, served with chilled shot glasses of milk $10.99...\n\nIt was rich, and heavy, and I'm not the biggest chocolate cake fan anyway... we got the check and were out of there : ). Overall the place was not that good. I will not be returning.", "As always, food was excellent at Stoney River. This was my 1st visit to the one in Cool Springs. Bartenders and wait staff were attentive, but not crowding.\n\nHaving experienced the Cowboy Ribeye and Coffee Rubbed Filet on several occasions, I opted to try the Prime Burger with truffle oil fries. The burger came with melted Gruyere and caramelized onions. It was cooked a perfect medium rare, just how I like it!\n\nAs Jason M. said previously, 'the food is the key'.", "Before you read this - keep in min that I am partial. I like the atmosphere the service and although a limited menu - it has enough selection for me.\nThe wine list is great, the staff from hostess to bartender are very attentive. We never have to wait long for a table or a drink, even if its just club soda , the bar staff are on it. \nThe steaks are always perfect and i really like the atmosphere. if the place seems busy, i head down to the kitchen Bar and eat there - its not a well known option and often gets overlooked - keep it in mind on busy nights.", "Pricey? Of course. This is basically an upscale Outback, but I like it. And what I really love are the coupons they send to your email box, so I can eat here almost as cheaply as I can at Outback. Win-win for me! The steaks are killer, and I would imagine the rest of the food is just as good (I've been once so far). Service was prompt, attentive, and surprisingly, there wasn't much of a wait for us on a Saturday night. I can't wait to go back!", "Without factoring in the high prices, overall the food (i.e. juicy steaks, soups, fish dishes and chocolate cake desserts) was a crowd pleaser. \n\nThe steaks were done right, albeit on the salty side. Same with the soup. \n\n\nAmbience is nice for dates, corporate events and family time. Attentive staff and managers. \n\nBut the price is the buzz killer. I've had similar quality of food elsewhere for more affordable price ranges. I might come here for a company sponsored event, but if i had to pay out of pocket --no thanks!", "So, sure, it is a \"chain\". Should you let that stop you? No. What you should know is that I am not a big fan of red meat but on the occassion I do crave it. \n\nLast night was our anniversary and I wanted to take hubs somewhere nicer than we normally go. Sure it's almost a car payment to eat there but I think it is worth it. \n\nFriday Night, 5:45pm, we didn't wait for a table at all. We were seated almost instantly and greeted by sweet girls working up front. When we were seated we were given our waitress name and told she would be right with us. This was the only hiccup. She wasn't right with us. It took about 4 minutes before someone came by and he took out drink order. She (our waitress) was the one to bring them out which somewhat made up for it. Other then that hiccup she was GREAT. So basically no problems.\n\nWe both scoped the menu out before going so we knew what we wanted. I think that made it pretty easy for her. But she did offer to go over the specials because hubs had never been there before. We ordered a standard started. Spinich and Artichoke dip. Which was good. My dislike of seafood and his hatred of cheese caused us to not be able to do anything else. \n\nWe both ordered salads, wedge for me, ceasar for him. We both loved ours. The only negative there was that my plate was so cold it kind maked things stick to the plate which was weird but I think thats my OCD over anything else. \n\nWe both ordered the same steak thanks to something we saw on the Food Network. We had the 10 oz Coffee cured Filets. YUM. While I can say that it was nothing like what I was expecting it to taste like, it was amazing. It was cooked perfectly the way I like and his raw hunk he likes was good for him as well. I've come to the conclussion that if both of us are happy, then it's great.\n\nDinner was capped off with Cappucino Creme Brulee. Now normally here I would think back to Ruth's Chris for their HEAVENLY creme brulee and compare all to it. I know that isn't fair but here's what. It was great. Different but great. The only negative is the berries that came with it. It was only 1 strawberry and then blueberries. The blueberries were awesome though. Super sweet and perfect but I like raspberries and blackberries too? But for only $5 each they were a good deal and yummy.\n\nAll in all I can tell you this is our new once a month special dinner place now that he is hooked after his first time! Worth it. But plan on dropping a decent amount of money to leave so happy. I'll be back!", "I have been on more than a few occasions, but my experience on Monday evening completely sums this restaurant up. \n\nThe food is good. The filet can be great. The cowboy ribeye is just ok for the $33 price. \nSR is greatly overpriced. My fiance and I had a tab of $120 w/o tip for 2 steaks, 2 apps, 1 salad, 1 glass of wine. \nThat is bordering on Morton's and RC pricing with the punch of J Alexander's on a bad day. \nEither go to J's and get a better meal for $85 or spend the $120 and go true upscale.", "They prepared me and my sister a custom vegan dish since nothing on the menu was suitable.

[ "Four stars because I love the Dim Sum Sampler. If it weren't for that tasty treat, I'd give this restaurant three stars. It's nothing really spectacular, just your typical Chinese take-out. Not bad, not great. But they can make a heck of a dim sum! One of the few places in town to get any dim sum. It's not nearly as cool as an actually dim sum place, but short of a trip to San Francisco, it's what's available.", "This is our favorite Chinese restaurant. It is authentic! Their chefs are from Hong Kong. It is just right across from European Fitness Center.\n\nFavorites:\n\n~Majority of their dim sum platter.\n~House fried rice.\n~House chow mein.\n~Beef chow fun with gravy. (Husband loves it.)\n\nTips:\n\n~They accept American Express. :-) Yipee!\n~Excellent service. Prompt service with a smile.\n~Parking can be a challenge when they are busy.\n~Ambiance is more of your typical fast food Chinese place rather than a sit down Chinese restaurant. \n\nAuthentic Chinese food without the frills!", "Wonderful authentic Chinese food. The only dim sum place in town. They serve \"Hong Kong\" style dim sum. The owners are actually from Hong Kong so they know good food. It would be a shame to pass on this place just because of the looks of the place. Tasty!", "My friend, Shimmy brought me to his favorite Chinese restaurant, in Reno. He's quite the connoisseur, and originally from San Francisco, so he was pretty proud of the place.\n\nI had the Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles, and wasn't disappointed. Almost like my mom's!\n\nThis place gets an extra star for having decent Chinese food in RENO!", "Went here last night after Christmas shopping with the fam; I found this restaurant through Yelp's mobile phone site. Normally, this place would only get 3 Stars from me (compared to the Chinese restaurants I normally go to in LA or SF), but since it's in Reno Nevada, I'm giving it an additional star. This is probably the most \"authentic Chinese\" food I've ever had in Reno.\n\nFirst impression: My mom was complaining that the place was kinda dirty (windows, tables, forks, etc)... but I don't normally care too much about that, as long as the food's good... (it's a Chinese restaurant, all OG Chinese restaurants are like that) However, my mom had a problem with it. She made sure to get a straw with her drink, and preferred to use the new set of wooden chopsticks to the dirty looking fork/spoon she was offered.\n\nI ordered a 1/2 duck, based on a Yelp review saying it was \"spectacular, heavenly, amazing, etc.\" ... but I thought it was just \"aiight.\" Just normal run-of-the mill duck, nothing to get too excited about. Mediocre. Good thing we didn't get the whole duck, as our family of 4 didn't even finish the 1/2 duck.\n\nWe liked the Tomato Beef Pan Fried Noodles a lot (I always love tomato beef chow fun, so of course I would like this too). The noodles were crispy, and the tomato beef flavor was awesome as expected! (Good looking out to Collin W for the recommendation)\n\nI made sure to order the Spicy Salt Squid (calamari), as it's one of my favorite things to order at any Chinese restaurant. In fact, I think I often size up their seafood skills based on how they prepare this dish. It was good; very flavorful, and nice sized portion. I definitely recommend it to anyone. My mom is super picky and even she liked it. \nNOTE: It would be even better if they turned up the temp on the frier to make the oil a bit hotter when they cook it, so it would be less oily, and would be great to have a slightly thinner batter also, which is how my favorite, China Bistro in Alhambra CA, does it... But that's just being picky.\n\nWe also ordered Broccoli Beef, as my little bro and stepdad aren't always down to eat the \"keepin it real\" authentic Chinese food. (Case in point, my brother didn't wanna eat alot of the Calamari). The broccoli beef was surprisingly GOOD!!! Very tender and juicy, extremely flavorful. Perfect soft broccoli and tender beef, with lots of sauce. Loved it, and I'm not even a Broccoli Beef fan!\n\nMy little bro ordered Cream Cheese Wontons also, which were very, very good. Great appetizer. I prefer them without that red sauce tho.\n\nI'd definitely come back to the Chinese Duck House, but for something other than the duck. \n\nAnd remember, please refrain from putting soy sauce on your steamed rice.", "Not bad at all for authentic Chinese in Reno. Like another reviewer said, it deserves an extra star because it's in a town with few other authentic Chinese offerings. The duck wasn't as good as I was expecting (too much fat under the skin) but it was definitely more than edible. \n\nIt's absolutely tiny! There's probably only 8 tables, and the kitchen is practically right behind the counter. This does, however, allow for delicious smells to drift all over the place. \n\nIt's not exactly too clean either. You wouldn't put your elbows on the table not out of manners, but because you'd be afraid of getting your sleeves greasy. At the same time, I didn't feel subjected to health code violations, so suck it up and eat some good food!", "For years (until I started reading yelp) I never thought dim sum was available in Reno. \n\nWe came here strictly for the dim sum. Delicious. The char siu bau, shiu mai, pepeiau were consistently good. The egg roll was not at the high end of my expectations, but still very acceptable.\n\nWill definitely return to try other menu items.", "Was staying at the Peppermill and too lazy/too drunk to drive my pretty behind anywhere to feed myself. This place is right across the street - v convenient. \n\nI ordered the Broccoli Beef combo meal which includes a bowl of soup, 1 egg roll, and rice...huge portions... ALL for $5!!! Now, that's a deal!!! Dani's wallet gives 2 thumbs and 2 toes up!", "Such mixed luck here at the Chinese Duck House.\nI had skipped lunch recently and was starved for dinner and I felt like getting some Cantonese food. So I came to the Duck House.\nThe soup I got was a four-star experience. It was the wonton soup with ho fun noodles. The wontons tasted like fresh made. The broth was perfect, maybe the best of any Chinese soup I've had in Reno. I don't recall the soup here ever having been that good before and I'll explore it, especially with the shrimp dumplings and wontons.\nI also ordered the dim sum sampler. It was a mixed lot and I actually left dim sum uneaten, which is a rarity for me. The surprise this time was the leaf-wrapped sticky rice. The leaves left a nice tea flavor this time on the rice, which I haven't tasted before, even in nice Bay Area Cantonese restaurants. But much of the rest of the dim sum was just okay. I'm guessing it was made in China, frozen and imported to the United States. The sui mai and one that looked like sui mai were especially disappointing.\nThe Duck House can be hit or miss but when it's on it's pretty good.", "As close to china town as Reno will come. Very good and very authentic. The tomato beef pan fried noodles - mmmm! Huge portions for the prices! Diner be ware - two people can share one dish here.

From Olde English 40's, PBR, and domestics to micro brews and yuppie hipster beers. Dutch master cigars to Newports. Skittles to M&Ms. Burgers, fried chicken, and french fries to General Tso's to sushi. The only thing missing was 1/2\" Plexiglas.\n\nThere has been a lot of buzz about a place with such an eclectic mix of offerings and the recently opened restaurant, sushi bar, bottle shop was pretty busy when I went for dinner last night. They have a decent amount of seating inside and a small sushi bar. Beer is in display cases behind the counter which is a pain but, well, necessary. They have a good selection, though not as large as Bottle Bar East or the Foodery, and the prices were pretty good.\n\nThe food is probably more like 3 stars, nothing horrible and nothing extraordinary. I was surprised by the sushi, I expected the worst but was pleasantly surprised. The Chinese food was the typical take out menu. My lo mein was a little greasy but it's take out Chinese.\n\nService was decent especially for being so busy. It did take a while to pay the check. But they do use iPads to take orders and square to accept credit cards which is nice. The inside looks to be completely redone and is nice, clean, and updated. They also have a TV displaying the feeds from about as many cameras as the big brother house, which I'm going to say is a good thing.\n\nLike I said, food wise it's more of a 3 star joint, which isn't a bad thing, but given their wide range of offerings and ability to serve multiple needs for townie and hipster alike, I really hope this place does well.", "I've been stalking this place for months, as I'm a wee bit desperate for more food and drink variety in my 'hood. After visiting, I am not one bit disappointed!\n\nThey appear to have a very wide variety of sodas, beers, and ciders (yay!), not to mention an assortment of random convenience store essentials like candy and medicine. My manfriend claims the egg rolls are some of the best he's ever had, and I felt that their sushi was tasty and seemed extremely fresh. I went a little overboard and ordered a lot of food, but the prices seemed very reasonable.\n\nThe place itself was clean, bright, and friendly, and I can't wait to try eating within the restaurant next time!", "Capital beer definitely fills a void that's been missing in Fishtown. When you're in the moody for typical Chinese take out now you can look no further than capital beer. \n\nWe ordered egg rolls, veggie fried rice, Kung pao chicken, and beef Szechuan. Egg rolls were ON POINT. Perfectly fried and crispy. Fried rice was pretty standard and both of the entrees were nicely spiced and pretty much what one would expect from a Chinese takeout place. \n\nWe took out our food but the restaurant looked clean and inviting. We will definitely come back and try the sushi!", "Lived in the fishtown neighborhood for 5+ years now. Chinese food was always missing so we tried this place out Friday evening. Food was Meh? Wasn't great wasn't terrible. Not really sure if i would go back here", "Went here on a snowy afternoon. Had the whole place to ourselves. \n\nService was good, our waitress was sweet and helpful when helping us make decisions on our food choices. Offered us beer, drinks and was very attentive. \n\nLunch special portions are huge!! We both took home left overs. General Tso's was crunchy, maybe a bit too sweet but with a bit more spice could easily be my favorite! Fried dumplings were flavorful, only down side was how thick the wrapper was, but very delicious! Pork egg foo young was good, not oily like most. \n\n\nI'll definitely be walking back to this spot for my Chinese cravings. (Open till 2am for take out!!!) also not bad prices of 6's of craft beer!", "I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone reading all of these positive reviews. What is going on here?? I just finished my meal and can't even wait until tomorrow morning to write the review! This is definitely not the answer to our lack of Chinese and sushi restaurants.\n\nAll of the food here was absolutely flavorless, served in heaping portions, and mushy. \n\nThe egg roll was seriously filled with kimchi. The inside was pink and tasted like vinegar. When I asked my husband what he thought of it he couldn't put his finger on the weird flavor. When I suggested it tasted like kimchi he was like YES!\n\nThe beef with broccoli and the lo mein both tasted like MSG and nothingness. My husband referred to the lo mein as \"brown noodles.\"\n\nThe wonton soup was the only marginally edible thing here, but you don't get much in your order, so there's that. \n\nThe sushi was worse than grocery store sushi. The seaweed wrap was in edible in that you couldn't chew it! It wouldn't break up in my mouth. It just basically un-rolled itself while I was chewing. \n\nThe water (yes I'm about to talk about tap water) tasted like plastic. Maybe it was the glass (which wasn't made of glass)? Who knows. \n\nThe waitress was very nice and said \"thank you\" after every sentence, but she messed up my order and brought me house lo mein instead of just pork. Also, the credit card system is very odd and we didn't get a receipt. \n\nThis joint would be great for beer and convenience store offerings. Please, don't make the mistake we did and eat here. I can't fault them for trying to cover the need, but it's just not good.", "Good beer selection, average food, horrible service. \n\nStay far away from the sushi and stick with basic Chinese!", "Went here for dinner with the hubs and got won ton soup, hot and sour soup, fried dumplings, General Tsos special, and pork lo mein. Figured they were some good ballpark items to make a judgement. Overall, not bad! Hot and sour soup could have been a little spicier and had a little more sour. Won ton soup dumplings were a little chewier than I would prefer. Soups were a little saltier than normal. General Tsos was crispy and tasty! Lo mein was solid, too. Egg roll was your standard egg roll. Beers were cheap, and they had a nice selection for eat in or takeout. The restaurant was clean and our server was sweet. Overall, nothing to write home about, but perfectly passable Chinese and a welcome addition to the neighborhood.", "I'm confused about the approach to get customers in. I was excited to see a sushi bar coming to the area but the name capital beer shows up on the sign and the last place I would want sushi from is a beer distributor. I decided to give it a try though. \n\nI ordered two rolls; spicy salmon and a Philly roll to play it safe. The spicy salmon was great and the Philly roll was o.k. I'll be back to try more but if I'm still not impressed with their selection I'll be making the trip back to another sushi bar.", "Me and the GF tried this place out on a whim as we live very close by. Upon approach the place looked clean and new with very bright neon signs outside. We went in and I was amazed at their huge selection of takeout beer. There was something for everyone there from Bud to high end Belgium beers. \n\nYou can order food for dine in or takeout. Now the place is clean but do not expect fine dining service if you dine in. Its very simple and basic so don't expect alot if you go. We ordered takeout and got a couple of rolls from the Sushi side and an order of dumplings from the Chinese side. The food was decent and very reasonably priced. The sushi yielded six pieces per roll and the dumplings gave up eight. The dumplings were pretty good, not too doughy and filled with a generous amount of protein. The rolls were tasty but not mind blowing given the price ($5-6 each) and good enough too satisfy your cravings for sushi in the Fishtown area.\n\nWould I stop by again? I would probably stop in again if I wanted a quick lunch or maybe a fast bite with the fellas. Would I take my GF there for a sit down dinner? Probably not, because as simple as she is she would want something a little nicer and perhaps cozier.\n\nCheers!" ]

I had chicken enchiladas with a chocolate mole sauce that was impeccable ~ make sure to request the chocolate-based mole, not the Americanized red-sauce which they call \"mole.\"", "You know how they say the sketchiest places are the best? Well, we all know St. Louis has sketchy restaurants, but who knew St. Louis would have good Mexican food?!?! (Not this cowgirl.) Hands down, mouth-watering stuff if you're a fan of Mexican food (clearly, I am). Easy on the wallet, too.", "Great things about Mi Ranchito include:\n\n1) They can seat you right now, because it is vast. \n2) They price an enormous mug of cerveza at $2.50, with margaritas available at similar bulk discounts. \n3) Uncommonly good salsa. \n4) Burritos tipicos.\n5) Their item-by-item payment system makes it really easy for groups of all sizes to split checks. \n\nFun fact: I once ate Mi Ranchito for lunch and dinner in the same day. I have never regretted it.", "massive margaritas.\ndon't remember much else\nfamily-run, had some combination dinner that didn't stand out.", "I completely love this place. Love it. Love it. Love it.\n\nIt's always super clean. The staff is nice and gracious. The prices are reasonable. \n\nThe food is always superb. My kids love it. My husband and I love it. It makes for a nice family night out.\n\nI am a picky eater and they accomodated my requests without hesitation! We go here a lot and have never, ever, ever had a problem!\n\nWe have even recommended to friends and family who now love the place too!", "I'm not too picky with my Mexican food, but I think this place is pretty good and you do get a great value. The food service is incredibly fast, though it was quicker before the expansion opened. The new dining room gets a little noisy, but this is Mexican, not a candlelight dinner. \n\nSince someone mentioned the murals on the walls, has anyone sat by the kid with 6 fingers? That always creeps me out. And the new dining room has a mural straight off a cheesy romance novel cover.", "Reallllly good Mexican food. I dare say it might fall in the middle between authentic and commercialized, but it's still plenty good for me. It's truly a cut above.\n\nI love the chips and salsa. Again, rather standard, but the chips aren't greasy and the salsa isn't too sweet or watery. It's just right.\n\nThe yolandas are absolutely delish - corn tortillas filled with shredded chicken, onion, green pepper and topped with cheese and mole. I get them every time and so does my friend Mir, which makes it difficult to steal food from her plate. The mole is deep and smoky, but a bit light and fragrant at the same time. It tastes even a bit like there's some chicken stock in it to balance out the acidity.\n\nThe rice is light and airy and really full of flavor.\n\nThe Camaron Yucatan, which is sort of a grilled shrimp stir fry with onions, peppers, zucchini and yellow squash, comes with warm flour tortillas, lettuce, rice, sour cream and guacamole. They make for really great little wraps. The shrimp are nicely cooked and the veggies are full of flavor. \n\nThis has become a regular stop for my friend and I. We love spending time with our new friend Yolanda!", "My first time at Mi Ranchito I thought the food was just average, however, each time I've gone back it's been getting better and better, and now I have cravings for their food. I'm not sure what happened but it totally grew on me. My absolute favorite thing is their enchilada plate; it comes with 4 different kinds and it's delicious, especially the bean enchilada. Other things that I like about the place is their speed of service and their margaritas.", "The food seems to be good, but is ultimately irrelevant, because any potential shortcomings are made up by the giant margaritas!\n\nI've been going to Mi Ranchito since Freshman year of college and have always had a great time. The host/ess always rushes to sit you and the atmosphere is unmatched in most restaurants in the area. My friends and I can sit around for hours, refilling our margaritas.\n\nI noticed they tried to improve their image by rolling out new menus. I haven't actually paged through the menu the past few times I've been because I always get the same thing. My table cracks up laughing every time I order because the platter is called \"# F.\" That's right, # F. \n\nOk, now that we're over that, the # F is a combo of chicken and tortilla, beans, and cheese. For the life of me, I can never really tell the difference between mine and other people's platters. Since we order the margaritas when we first get there, I can also assure you that I probably wouldn't notice if they gave me the wrong plate. I wouldn't know the difference after half of their jumbo margaritas.\n\nGreat place and the food seems to taste just as good.", "A very solid four stars. I had the carne asada tacos, and while I think they would have been just perfect with some onion and cilantro instead of the jalapeño-laden pico de gallo they brought out for it, I did not leave hungry and it was a very satisfying flavor. I would most definitely go back." ]

[ "Today the wife and grandson joined me for the grand opening. Very happy we came not just because everything was free between 11 and 3 , but because everything was so darn good and the service even with the very large turnout was fast friendly and efficient. The spot in the new development across from Wegmans was modern and comfortable. I like the production line concept for Middle Eastern food. You can watch them make their own pita bread here. It was tasty and sturdy enough to hold all the meat and fixings they stuff in it. I particularly loved the fries which are really potato chips hot and crispy. You have a choice of making a pita sandwich or having it in Salad form. My chicken shawarma with the chopped salad and onions was full of moist tasty meat and fresh vegetables you can watch them cut the chicken and beef off of huge rotisseries. They also have s nice selection of middle eastern pastries. I will certainly be a regular here. Thanks.", "Oh boy, did we need this place. \n\nI saw the line out the door when I was driving past so I stopped to check it out. Free pita sandwiches from 11 - 3 today. Good deal. So I got in line. They were giving away t-shirts too but the guy in front of me got the last one. No matter. On to the food. \n\nThe first employee you see when you walk in is the guy rolling out dough for freshly baked pita. That's a good sign, right? Then the menu. It's sort of like a Mediterranean version of Chipotle: pick out your base (cous cous, baba ganoush, hummus), choose your protein (chicken or beef shawarma, falafel), then your veggies (chopped salad, purple cabbage, sumac onions, pickles) and your sauces (tehina, garlic sauce, harissa, etc.). You can have it on a pita, in a bowl or get a platter if you are famished. \n\nI had falafel sandwich with salad, cabbage, hummus, tehina and harissa and It.Was.Perfect. Fresh, crisp, rich, spicy, filling. They were also giving away fries--essentially freshly fried potato chips, which were also delicious but the sandwich was killer. \n\nMy frame of reference is this: Mamoun's in NYC is the gold standard for falafel. Mama's in Philly is also fantastic. But I don't have to travel for falafel anymore because this is the real deal. Everyone was smiling. And my smile would have been no less wide had lunch not been free. Naf Naf Grill, we are going to be very good friends.", "I have been to Naf Naf twice in one week. I love Mediterranean food and I was filled with joy when I found out this place was coming here. I have heard of this place in Chicago and am SOOOOOOOO glad they brought the concept here. The staff is really nice and quick. You can tell they are still get their bearings but their friendliness really makes up for any inconveniences. The baklava is really really good. I wish they had lamb shawarma but I think it makes sense that they stick to what people are comfortable with. I work right across the street and my gym is in the same shopping center. I have a feeling I will be going here quite often, I can't wait for those delicious post workout shawarma salads.", "Stopped into Wegman's on my way home from work on 9/8. Naf Naf Grill was directly across the street, so I stopped in to check it out. It has only been open for a couple of days. When I got there it was not crowded at all. I had never heard of Naf Naf Grill before.\n\n1) I found Naf Naf Grill was super clean;\n2) I ordered the shwarma steak pita to go;\n3) I found all ingredients to be very fresh;\n4) generous portions;\n5) excellent service.\n6) excellent quality food. Not greasy. Not heavy. Delicious.\n\nHighly recommended. I will return. A solid 5 stars. I cannot think of any negative comments whatsoever.", "I've been waiting for this place to open for weeks, and I was not disappointed! It was packed, as expected for a new place, but there were plenty of extra trainers on hand to keep the line moving. I ordered the falafel pita with the works. Pita was soft and fresh, the falafel was flavorful, and all the toppings worked great together. If you like it spicy, I recommend the s'khug sauce over the harissa. Based on other reviews, I expected the naf naf fries to be some sort of transcendent experience, but I thought they were just okay, like a limp thick cut potato chip.\n\nThis place definitely goes into the rotation of lunchtime options.", "Very impressive but half an hour later I was hungry again. Do you get more meat if you order a bowl instead of the pita, anyone? I had the Steak Shawarma Pita with Hummus spread and Harrissa sauce. Fries are actually chips; house made but chips, nonetheless. Here's a tip: order a side of garlic sauce for chip dipping.", "I went to Wegmans today, and as I was leaving I noticed this restaurant in the corner of the new towne center, across the street. I thought I would go and check it out. And I was glad that I did! The food was DELICIOUS, everything was fresh. The pitas are made right in front of you as you're walking in! The store was very clean, the team members were very kind and welcoming. I will definitely be going to Naf Naf again!", "Tried this new place for lunch today (got it to go). I went around opening so it wasn't busy, and the place was immaculate.\n\nI ordered the falafel bowl with baba ganoush and rice, onion, chopped salad, and 2 different sauces. I also ordered their fries, not realizing my bowl came with a pita. It was a lot of food, but it was SO yummy!\n\nThe fries are more like chips, though some are on the soft side. They were warm and lightly salted. I just had to try them, though I probably won't get them again simply because the rest of the food is filling enough. The pita is perfectly soft and fresh, and was a delightful surprise in my bag when I got home!\n\nThe main thing I cared about was the falafel. It did not disappoint, and I cannot wait to eat it again and again. There were 5 in my bowl, nicely seasoned and not overly greasy despite the fact that they're fried. All the stuff it came with was delicious, too. I liked the spicy green sauce (s'khug). I thought the tahini sauce was too watery.\n\nMy hubby had the chicken shawarma in a pita, and couldn't stop raving about it. He got the chopped salad, hummus, and garlic sauce with his.\n\nThe service was great. There's no signage on the food line so I wasn't sure what some items were (namely the sauces), but all of the servers were patient and friendly. One of them was a bit difficult to understand, as he kinda mumbled a lot, but he was still very nice.\n\nParking is a bit confusing right now, but will hopefully improve as the shopping center gets completed. I just parked inside the edge of the Wegmans lot and crossed the street in the crosswalk -- no problem.\n\nI will most definitely be back!", "(4.25) ~ Very good Overall food & Service. It's set up similar to Chipolte where you start at one end and work your way down an assembly line of ingredients for your Pita Sandwich -or- Basmati Rice Bowl. And there's plenty of parking in the front at the Wegman's lot, or a smaller lot in the back.\n\nFAVORITE SIDE:\n** Naf Naf Fries = (4.5) Very Good & Addictive! Best described as the \"Baby\" of a French Fry and a Potato Chip. They look like Potato Chips, but have the texture & taste of French Fries:)lol\n\nFAVORITE PITA SANDWICH:\n** Pita Sandwich(Steak Shawarma) = (4.25) Very good...Started with Baba Ganoush; then added Chopped Salad; Purple Cabbage; Sumac Onions and finished with (3) Different Sauces(Garlic; S'Khug; & Harissa). Note: The Pita Bread is very fresh & warm, which is definitely a plus;)\n\nFAVORITE SAUCES(Combine ALL Three):\n** Garlic mayo(White) = (4.25) Very good & my favorite\n** S'Khug(Green) = (4) very good & Spicy!\n** Harissa(Red) = (4) very good & Spicy!\n\nFAVORITE DESSERT:\n** Assorted Baklava Box = (4) very good & BIG enough to share.\n\nFAVORITE DRINK: ??? This is one area they REALLY need to improve upon...", "We really like middle eastern food and read the reviews which were all favorable. Taking into consideration that this place opened just 5 days ago, it is great.\nThey are on the ball and keep the line moving. It's a good idea if you have not been here before to read the signage straight ahead to the right as you walk in the door.\n\nYou can have your meal in a bowl or in a pita pocket. Then you choose a base layer and then a PROTEIN layer. There's steak, chicken and falafel (vegan).\n\nYou are then moved down to the next station where you choose your fixins.\n\nBoth the falafel and the steak shwarma were good. The sauces go from mild-garlic to fire engine red.\n\nWord about the fries......................they are thinly cut potato quarters that are fried.................but if you like your fries crispy, you might not like this. I'm wondering if I asked if they'd leave the fries in the cooking oil for a few extra minutes?\n\nEveryone is in a good mood and trying really hard to provide service with a smile.\n\nI would really like to see them recycling..........such a waste.\n\nWe'll be back.\nWe were surprised to learn this is the 23rd location of this chain.\nParking is a pain at this moment, but hopefully will get straightened out." ]

[ "Glad to see Horn's open and breathing new life into a long-standing diner location in our neighborhood. The menu is very similar to \"sister restaurant\", Slim Goodies on Magazine (Breakfast food- my usual is The Guatemalan, sometimes with a sweet potato pancake on the side.) Looking forward to coming back for the weekend brunch chicken & waffles!", "Wanted to like this place, but we never got a chance to order. Got some coffee from the owner (she identified herself as such) and sat outside. Then waited 15 minutes and never saw a server. \n\nDon't get me wrong; I'm a breakfast server myself at an establishment that is about the same size. I'm generally super relaxed, but it is important to maintain proper staffing levels so your patrons are greeted within a few minutes. Felt like we were totally forgotten. We weren't in a huge hurry, but the fact we had to wait so long just put me off. \n\nWent to the nearby Ruby Slipper instead. I was disappointed not to have the opportunity to try the food, as it sounded incredible. Maybe we'll try again after they iron out their personnel issues.", "I was a little nervous to try Horn's as it replaced my beloved La Peniche, but I was generally happy. The renovations are nice. They took out the dividing wall & lengthened the bar, so the place looks bigger. The shades are off the windows which makes it much brighter. They still have fresh flowers on the tables, but I miss the seasonal tablecloths.\nWe went at 11:30am, hoping to get lunch, but they don't start serving lunch till noon & had to order from the brunch menu. I will miss that about La Peniche where you could get a burger for breakfast or breakfast at 4pm.\nMy husband was happy with his basic breakfast with pancakes. I had the Orleans Slammer which was chili, cheese & bacon over hash browns, topped with two eggs. It was really delicious, but I was unhappy & thought it was odd there was no bread option (toast or biscuit) offered with my breakfast and none on the brunch menu, however, you can get toast a la carte on the breakfast menu. We will definitely go back & try the lunch options.", "My first experience at Horn's made me really appreciate the New Orleans experience and I've been stationed here for 5 years. The food was blissful, the drinks were strong, and the customer service was impeccable. Highly recommended!!!", "The food was good and unique to other brunch spots in the quarter. Service was slow and spotty but the waiter was friendly enough. Not sure I would go back again but if you're in the area or looking for something new - try it out.", "Went here with a group of 12 for weekend brunch. Possibly my favorite brunch menu ever - lots of variety with some local options. Great, friendly southern hospitality. Can't wait for my next trip to New Orleans so I can try out the dinner menu.", "Jewish Coonass and Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffles were both incredibly delicious. I cannot wait to get back to try more. Love what they've done with the place too.", "I came to NOLA on vacation and one of the girls in my group found Horn's online so we decided to go there and Im so glad we did.The brunch at Horn's is phenomenal! I ordered a pecan waffle and the Creole Scramble which is eggs scrambled over hash and smothered with etoufee'. If I were to ever go on deathrow, I would request that my last meal would be from Horn's. Like seriously, life changing. The staff is so sweet and southern too. I loved this place so much that my friends and I came the next morning as well. Awesome place!!!!!", "I've had breakfast at Horns twice and I would definitely go back for a third! I love my neighborhood, and this is a neighborhood food hangout. Although I love Ruby Slipper for brunch, Horns has better portions and great local flavor in it's own right. The Costa Rican breakfast was perfect and everything tasted fresh and they are dog friendly outside. I 'm going to go back for dinner soon just so I can try the pork chop!", "Great food!!! Must stop if your in the neighborhood. Best catfish and home made Mac & cheese I've ever had!!!!" ]

[ "The lime is another chain Mexican restaurant in the vein of Chipotle and Tijuana Flats. I had the queso burrito and chips and queso. The queso is the only redeeming thing I had. The burrito was bland and flavorless and tastes like little to no seasoning was used on anything. The chicken was cut in large chunks and was dry. \n\nThe atmosphere is similar to most other chain restaurants with exception that music is downright schizophrenic, moving from adult contemporary to hip hop and techno. I understand this is not a club but it was annoying enough for everyone in my group to notice and could be easily fixed with a better muzak station or just turning it down. It was also hard to have a conversation with my friends because of the music and bad acoustics. \n\nYour time and money would be better spent at just about any other Mexican chain restaurant. More importantly why bother with these places when Tampa has several taco bus locations and Tacoson?", "Meh. I went to Lime Fresh hoping for a different taste/experience from Moe's and Chipotle. Went on their 2nd day in business. You start things off waiting in the hot sun outside since their line accommodates about 4 people inside. I ordered a Chicken Bacon Quesadilla and a cup of queso. The queso came out first and was really really good. Easily trumps Moe's queso, and I used to work at Moe's and would steal it regularly because I loved it so much. Sadly, this sums up the good points of my entire experience. My quesadilla was apparently screwed up by their young, inexperienced staff. The rest of my crew got their food way before I did and were mostly done by the time my food arrived, but the Manager did take the time to apologize and gave me a beer on the house. The beer selection is minimal and are $5 a pop which is ridiculous, but at least I only had to pay for one of them. The staff was pretty good about checking on us, but when the quesadilla came, I was disappointed. It was very bland. They seem very proud of their organic black beans which is seemingly in most of the dishes they serve and are just ok. The chicken was unseasoned and a little dry and I only ate about half of it. I bagged up the rest and forgot to take it home, but that's just a testament to how forgettable it was. Additionally, the environment seemed to be suffering from some sort of identity crisis as the music went from Billy Joel to Jay-Z, to Technotronic. What? Anyway, stick to Chipotle or Moe's.", "Exactly what this area needed. Its going to give Chipotle and Moe's a run for their money. Looking forward to them participating with the Margarita Festival in Curtis Hixon Park on Saturday, May 25th", "To each it own!!! I loved the place. It has a bigger menu than Chipotle and I think it's much better than Moe's. I had the 8th ??? Stake Burrito. Sorry guys I forgot the name and it was great. The Abuela's Guacamole was better than Chipotle and Tijuana Flats. I wish their chips had some type of season like Tijuana Flats. Definitely will be back for more. By the way Salsa it's great too.", "Finally made a trip to The Lime after a trip to the Container Store worked up my appetite. It's your usual walk-up Mexican restaurant...burritos, tacos, salads, etc. Things that set it apart from Moe's or Chipotle\n\n-An extensive salsa bar (10 selections including pineapple salsa)\n-Mini ice cubes (yes, I notice these things)\n-Soft corn tortillas (most places only have crispy)\n\nThe staff was very friendly and helpful. And, for it being lunch rush, and very busy, there were still plenty of seats. I did like how with the soft corn tortillas, they doubled them up (they have a tendency to fall apart). Queso was really good! Atmosphere was a little loud for my preference. \n\nI'd definitely come here again, but probably wouldn't choose it over Chipotle.", "I liked the lunch I got at Lime Fresh Mexican Grill. We almost didn't go in because when we arrived the line was out the door. It wasn't a problem because the line moved quickly. Lime reminded me of Moe's when I saw it and the similarities wouldn't end there. One thing that was nice is that you don't have to stand around and wait while your food is prepared. They give everyone a numbered plastic lime to put on your table so the servers can find you, which allows you to get a drink while you're waiting. The food was brought to us quickly. My quesadillas and chips tasted *exactly* like food at Moe's. What makes Lime different is that they have a large salsa bar that offers a wide variety of salsa types. There were constantly workers there cleaning the salsa bar, adding more ice, and refilling containers. I particularly liked the pineapple salsa. It was excellent. \n\nI can't say that I would go out of my way to come here but if I'm in the area I would definitely eat here again.", "I tried the chicken naked burrito, good size portions so if you're not very hungry I would suggest order to go. I order guacamole on the side and I have to say not my favorite, the lime taste was too intense to even taste the guacamole. Overall a good location for lunch. They also have the margarita w/the mini coronas...a must try if you haven't before.", "food is fresh, staff is great, good music too. they don't skimp on meat!!", "OK I don't understand why the star ratings so far are so bad if everyone is saying they really liked the food. Maybe the ratings are from competitors?\n\nSo here is the REAL blow-by-blow breakdown of this place.\n\nYES it is mobbed. That's because there is a HUGE HUGE HUGE pent-up demand for fast casual Mexican in Tampa, and people are flocking there. After all, let us review our options for fast Mexican food in Tampa Bay: \n\n1. Chipotle = Sodium-filled food, pre-cooked and later boiled in plastic bags. A digestive nightmare.\n\n2. Tijuana Flats/Moe's = Can't really tell the difference between these crapholes; \nboth are substandard Mex joints that would go out of business in California, Texas, etc.\n\n3. Taco Bus = Tasteless food served in cardboard tortillas in a dirty restaurant.YUM!\n\n\nBut back to Lime Fresh:\n\nDo not just show up. Place your order online before you head over there. When you get there, go to the back of the restaurant where the takeout cashier is. Pay for your food there, take it to a table, and eat. This took me 5 minutes. And watch everyone else wait in line for 30 minutes. I had the chicken soft tacos and my friend had the chicken cobb salad. Both were good. Both tasted fresher than any food at the above-mentioned places.\n \nLime Fresh is not the same as Moe's, Tijuana Flats or Chipotle. It is much much better. Is it the best Mexican food you have ever had? NO. Is it authentic Mexican, Cal-Mex, Tex-Mex, etc.? NO. Is it better than the fast food Mexican food in Texas, Arizona, California, etc.? NO. But is it better than Chipotle, Tijuana Flats, etc.?\nYES!!!!!!!\n\nThe ingredients here are much fresher than at Chipotle and Tijuana Flats, you can taste it. (Well, let's face it, the food from Chipotle comes already cooked in plastic bags, which they later boil.) The execution with some of the meats at Lime Fresh is not there yet, but I am hopeful they will get better with that.\n\nThis place is automatically better than the above mentioned places JUST for the extensive salsa bar, which is standard in Cali, Ariz, Texas, etc. but most no one else in Tampa has. And the pico de gallo is pretty decent, as are the other salsas. The menu is extensive, the dining space is nice and huge, the online order process was seamless.\n\nI would def. go back when it's off-peak hours.", "Went for dinner yesterday-takeout. I ordered the taco salad. Let's just say that they gave me exactly what I ordered. A single taco shell with tons of lettuce. The beef was not ground it was more like meatballs. I added black beans and they seemed to be undercooked. I was very disappointed." ]

It's not fine eatie food, but they have quality pasta and other selections as well. The waiting area is a great big room with lots of nice seating and comfy couches. I don't mind waiting for my name to be called, after the dozens of others ahead of me.", "There is something strangely appealing about eating spaghetti in a trolley. Really, how often does that get to happen?\n\nThe Old Spaghetti Factory is a visual experience first. From the deep, dark woods to the Tiffany lamps, to the aforementioned trolley housed right in the middle of the dining room, be prepared to suffer some slight whip lash from taking everything in on your first visit.\n\nThe food itself follows with the second punch to your senses. The Sicilian Garlic Cheese bread is a must to start the meal, which you can then follow up with a bevy of Italian dishes. Chicken Parmigiana, to Baked Lasagna, the menu is full of classics.\n\nHowever, it would be almost amiss to go and not try a dish of their famous name sake - spaghetti. Want something unique? Try the Spaghetti with Clam Sauce, or the Spaghetti with Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese (which is supposedly what Homer himself consumed while composing the Iliad). \n\nAnd when you go, see if there is a seat on the trolley. Sure, it may not be in service; but trust me, with this food, you will definitely be taken on a ride.", "The Spaghetti Factory is the type of restaurant where you'd see a young couple dining in a romantic comedy. He'd say something foolish, she'd dump a plate of fettucini alfredo over his head and storm out of the caboose in which they dined, leaving him there in his sad little bow tie.\n\nI didn't even realize that there are dozens of Spaghetti Factories throughout the United States until I lived in LA for a while. Before that, I just assumed it was a quaint little locally-owned Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Nashville. It certainly seems too novel to be a chain, but that's just part of its charm. The Spaghetti Factory is the perfect place to dine if you're on a date or celebrating a special occasion. It's classier than most places but not over the top, and they serve all the traditional Italian items you'd expect (every pasta imaginable).\n\nPerhaps the most unique aspect of the Spaghetti Factory (and what made me like it when I was a youngster) is its decor. They have an old train car in which you can dine, dozens of chandeliers and ornate furniture all over the place. It's like dining in a Victorian lady's parlor...or something.\n\nThe food itself is quite good as well (almost as neat as the atmosphere). Plus, they have spumoni! I love that crazy Italian ice cream. The servers tend to be pretty quick and helpful. The only problem with Spaghetti Factory is that it is Ground Zero for tourists. It's as if every joker in a fanny pack seeing the sites on Broad and Second Avenue assumes he is the first guy to discover this neat little Italian spot. If you can stomach those guys, this is probably your best bet for some good food in the area.", "First off, I love eating the in the trolley and I don't know why. It's a tight fit and usually only for a table for two. But there's just something awesome about it. The decor is beautiful and rich. It's definitely an unexpected experience off of 2nd avenue.\n\nSecondly, the service is always wonderful. A bright and positive staff is always good for business and they know it. \n\nFinally, the food is good. Almost great. You can order anything off the menu (I have) and enjoy the meal. Most of the offerings are familiar and some are a bit unique to the Old Spaghetti Factory. \n\n-Shaun", "Meh is exactly the feeling I got when I ate here. I don't usually do national chain restaurants, and while I'm sure I got the exact same experience in Philly, this is the first that I really remember going to the Old Spaghetti Factory.\n\nI really loved the decor, but it was a little too dark. Eventually I have it in mind to get permission to open an olde tyme photo stand in here. I seriously felt like I had walked into the mansion of Sherlock Holmes (and I've been to baker st.)\n\nThe food we got was OK for pasta and sauce. I got the crab ravioli and it wasn't hot or fresh. The sausage my friend got was dry and over cooked. The vegetarian lasagne was pretty redeeming. It was big, correctly cooked, and tastey.\n\nThey didn't give me too many reasons to come back, so I probably won't.", "Aptly named for the mediocre noodles they churn out by the ton. If you are out with picky kids or the taste-deprived, then I totally understand why you would go here - everyone can agree on spaghetti/basic italian, even if it is cafeteria italian. the menu is severely lacking in the vegetable department, and if you feel your chest seize a bit on entry, its because your arteries are scared. Sadly, this italian isn't good enough to make up for the grease quotient. The atmosphere is quaint, the prices are low, and the service is good, but i'd only go back if forced by dining group dynamics.", "OK so when I was a kid, I thought this was fine dining. Alas, this is where i bring my kids because they too find the place stunning. There is a box car in the center with seating in it. Everything is dark with fabric chandeliers, dark wood, and huge booths. \n\nThe food is really just OK but at least it's under $10 a person for the kitsch experience. The meals come with salad and a little spumoni at the end. As I said, this is a place that your kids will get a kick out of and it won't burn a hole in your wallet like Rain forest might. I mean watching animitronic gorillas freak your kids out every few minutes can really be costly!! \n\nThat being said, the parking can be a bear so choose a night that you don't' mind a little walk. I usually go up to Church St. , hang a right, cross first, and hit the parking by the river.", "Usually OSF is a pretty safe bet. Mediocre? Always, but rarely bad, and consistent. This one had watery pasta and bad service. Our waiter wasn't rude by any means, just not at all on the ball.", "I just went this weekend, with somewhat high expectation, especially since the Louisville food was so good. I will say that my wife and grandmother enjoyed their meals. Also, the waiter, Ryan, was very helpful and friendly, and helped make the experience than it might have been.\n\nI had the chicken parmagiana, and it was less than spectacular. It wasn't horrible, but there wasn't anything to make it stand out from places like the Olive Garden or the Macaroni Grill.\n\nThe atmosphere was fun, but the wait staff loudly sang happy birthday, and that was frankly irritating. Nonetheless, we had a good time, and for relatively cheap eats, in a family-friendly environment, you could do worse than The Old Spaghetti Factory.", "I've given this place two chances and been disappointed each time. It's nice, you can't deny that. Really nice. The lobby is very old school and pristine. The dining area is fun with the option to sit in a train car and all. \n\nIt's the food that just doesn't impress me. The wait staff is usually great, but everything from the pasta to the pizza always disappoints me. I've even tried the dessert and I can't find anything on this menu I would actually say I liked." ]

Some time during the last three months it felt like they started cutting back on the portions. Nonetheless, always clean, food is delicious, staff is nice enough.", "I love Chipotle, and the fact that they give you burritos the size of a small child. I can't hate on them for being a chain, because they are a chain who does it right. They use fresh ingredients and have a super friendly staff. It also doesn't hurt that after placing my first order online, Chipotle called me the next day just to ensure that my experience was awesome. I think this place is great and deserves recognition, plus you can order from an iphone app, they make it THAT easy!", "This place is great. I first got used to Chipotle in 2005 down in the Washington DC area. I am extremely pleased they have made up the 95 corridor. Where they can, they also serve beer. This is great made to order mexican food with a very simple menu. Don't be scared if you haven't tried it yet. Jump right in, you won't be disappointed.", "Being from LA, its hard to find any good authentic Mexican food around here. That being said, Chipotle is the closest thing to decent fast Mexican food.\n\nToo bad I came here. The food was just what I expected, however the service was below par. It took me almost 20 minutes to get my food. Maybe the employees had an off day, but no one of them besides the cashier actually looked like they cared about what they were doing or that there were at least 12 people in line. In LA a line like that would require three burrito builders....here it was one.\n\nOverall, good food, but service was so slow, I have to psych myself up for the next time I go.", "Chipotle works hard to get you a good business model, quality ingredients and the burrito portions have the same diameter as a Coke Can... I love me a good burrito as much as the next girl but when it is served to you with the enthusiasm of a wet plastic bag, it is kind of a downer. You get me? Good food, the service was dismal. \n\nOne extra star for adding brown rice to the menu, nicely done!", "I eat lunch hear nearly evert Saturday. Staff is friendly and quality seems to exceed some other Chipotle franchises.", "Awesome food at a great price! One of my fav spots to eat a good healthy affordable meal....", "Great food, great prices, great staff! Also, the restaurant and restroom are kept clean. A plus in my book! : ) My fave are the carnitas tacos and of course their chips with guac... even my 1 1/2 year old likes them! So much better than Taco Bell and much healthier too.", "in case you haven't noticed, i make it my personal business to visit every chipotle in my region of the grand ol USA. while in south jersey, i took a trip here with a chipotle virgin. i let her order first and as i gently poked fun at her for being mildly confused at the ordering process, we were overheard by the girl at the register. she decided to pay for one of the burritos we ordered in honor of her first time! how adorable.", "The staff is always so friendly here I've even had full conversations with a few of them in that short two minute period of choosing my toppings on my burrito bowl. So friendly, helpful, and hard workers! The food is always fresh here because its always busy. At lunch time there could be a wrap around line to the door. But, it moves so quickly because I'm telling you the service is awesome! Parking can sometimes be tricky. I also love that you can order online and when you get there its waiting for you and you can skip the entire line. Great feature." ]

Best reasons to visit are the difficult-to-find Thai papaya salad and truly excellent spring rolls. Gets rounded up to 5 stars because of the papaya salad + friendly staff + delivery.\n\n5 stars\n... Fresh spring rolls (shrimp or pork). Love these, so healthy and so tasty. Comes with two dipping sauces (dark one is our favorite).\n\n4.5 stars\n... Papaya salad. Spicy and sour, fresh and delicious. Get medium heat.\n... Pho w/ shrimp. I'm no pho expert, but one of the best I've had.\n... Stir-fried eggplant. Lots of veggies along with eggplant in a rich, dark sauce.\n\n4 stars\n... Yum Koong (shrimp salad). Very fresh and light, perfect for lunch. Wish it was a bit spicier.\n... Larb (chicken). Tons of crazy-spicy chicken, but wish it came with lettuce wraps.\n\n3.5 stars\n... Tom Yum Talay (seafood). Liked it, but not as much as the pho.", "Awesome place to eat..I visit at least twice a week..have not had anything was not absolutely delicious..the owners are very friendly..a very good family owned restaurant to support in the Indy area close to Avon.", "I had the vegetable spring roll and the yellow curry.\n\nI really wish they offered a fried vegetable spring roll. As usual with what is more accurately called a summer roll or salad roll, it's really super bland and the noodles seem wormy when paired with the chewy rice paper. The sauce can sometimes save it, but the sauce was a sort of tamarind cough syrup, as opposed to something light and bright and sweet or something very spicy, which would have worked. \n\nThe yellow curry did the trick, but it was a touch minimal. Mine only had tofu potatoes and onions in it. Typically, there are other vegetables included.", "You would *never* know from the unassuming, tiny storefront (tucked in almost out of sight next to a Family Video) what a gem this place is. The food is prepared fresh and I mean FRESH -- within view -- and is hot, plentiful, and utterly delicious. I had the fried tofu appetizer and the chicken pad thai. I prefer peanut sauce with fried tofu -- next time I'll just ASK for it -- but it was delicious and the pad thai was just ambrosia. The sweet lady behind the counter was friendly and knowledgeable and carefully made sure we both meant the same thing by \"medium spicy\" -- a very good precaution in Indiana. I'm allergic to mushrooms and most of the soups have them, so I asked for future reference whether I could get any soup prepared without them, and I can! I was a little shocked at how large my portion of pad thai was -- I'm a hearty eater, and it could have fed me and my husband both! Don't pass by this tiny treasure of a restaurant -- it's a spectacular deal!", "First Thai restaurant ever. I was craving (fairly cheap) food and wanting to try something different. Thanks to Yelp & Urbanspoon I quickly located this 'something different' only a few minutes drive from work. I scanned the menu (and Yelp of course) before I left work so I would have an idea of what to order. The $4.99 lunch menu is awesome and plentiful - I honestly wish I could've eaten more. \n\nMy first attempt at Thai was Pad Khing, 2 on a spiciness scale of 1-5 as suggested by the cashier. My taste buds were lit up just a tad too much, so next time (I know there will be)... I'll just stick with 1. I also opted for a $1 spring roll - awesomely tasty too! So for $6 I got a spring roll, ALOT of chicken + veggies & a plentiful serving of rice. Perfect overall serving for lunch.\n\nWhen the lady owner asked how I found them, I told her thru Yelp/US and she was very appreciative of the reviews already posted and that I chose them (because let's be honest, they're not really near anything but Family Video). I can't wait to go back and try something different from there soon!", "Food excellent, service a bit lacking. I had the green curry and loved it....it had an herbiness that I've never tasted but I normally get red curry so that may be why. My husband had the beef larb which had steak not ground beef and he really enjoyed it. The papaya salad was extremely flavorful but quite spicy. Perfect for my husband, a little too spicy for me. The fresh spring rolls were made to order and contained lots of lettuce. The freshness of the ingredients was obvious and they were excellent. So, we will be back for the food. A few negative notes: The TV was blaring a TNT movie and that was distracting and annoying. The person who took our order might have been the owner, not sure about that. We found his customer service skills extremely lacking. This being said, the food was good enough for us to plan a return visit.", "The crab rangoon is really great and they r very nice to accommodate food allergies.", "Tried four different dishes including standard chicken pad Thai . Both me and my wife were very disappointed", "service is poor. Came in and there's a white guy who looks like he owns the place, did not greet me nor even smiled. Ordered phad thai on the lunch menu, and spring rolls as a side order from the cashier. The phad thai taste bland, did not even comes with a soup and salad as offered by other places such as Thai Orchid in Plainfield. You also need to get your own utensils. The spring rolls does not have shrimp and meat like they do at Pho 36 in Avon. And the peanut sauce is watery and taste awful. And the worst thing is they charged you refill for drinks. .I won't be back on this place. .it's a waste of time and money." ]

I went all in and ordered the sushi and sashimi deluxe. Both were excellent. The fish: as fresh as I've had in Philly, which, for me, is the most important thing. Next: just the right amount of rice for the sushi (allowing the fish to stand on its own, taste-wise), and generous cuts for the sashimi. Finally: superb presentation, visually speaking -- and, again, this was just for delivery! They didn't need to do that, but I appreciated the extra effort. All in all, happy to have this place in the neighborhood, and eager to order from them again.", "Excellent quality sushi with fast delivery! First time ordering from J Sushi and I'm super impressed by the presentation and taste! \n\nI ordered four rolls to try: romantic roll, popular roll, spicy tuna, and Philadelphia roll. Each one has its own distinct taste so it doesn't feel like I'm eating the same roll. The salmon and tuna is super fresh and the pineapple in the romantic roll is super yummy with the soypaper.\n\nWill definitely be ordering from here again :)", "Yesterday was my dad's birthday. I ordered sushi from J sushi again. I ordered sushi deluxe, salmon belly, yellowtail belly, fresh scallop, live lobster appetizer, king crab appetizer, and live lobster mango salad. It tastes so good. Their fish is always so fresh, salmon belly is melt in the mouth. I can wait to try more of their menu.", "They accept credit credit. I really hope that this place stays in business because it is probably the best sushi place that I have been in Philly. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Restaurant is very clean and modern looking. Overall quality of the fish was solid: had the spicy roll combo (8 pieces each of spicy tuna, salmon, and yellowtail). What was special was their plates. All of them had some cherry blossoms or butterflies drawn with sauces, which I thought was a really cool touch.", "Me and the wife decided to try this place out since it was near where she works. Very glad we did as the sushi was very good and very fresh tasting. We've had sushi at other places that honestly weren't as good as this place. Service was good and the place looked nice inside.

It was fantastic and the flavors were amazing. The sashimi was very fresh. I will definitely be back!!", "Where are the reviews for this place!? \nThis was AMAZING! Not only the food was great, but the service, the chef, it was a personalized experience. Come and try it out, you won't regret it.

[ "A small Mexican restaurant. Very authentic chips (not your usual Tostitos taste but still yummy). The guac is delish - wow. I ordered a 'tub' of it for only $8 for my son's party. Everyone went wild for it!!! The first time I went there my meal was good and big but had some unidentifiable cheese on it - it was actually pretty good though. I'm not a flan fan but the cute little waitress gave it to us free since I was referred by someone. The next two times (haha!) I had a beef burrifto - yummy and then the last time I found my new 'go to' dish - a chicken chimichanga w/ a cream cheese sauce - holy good God good!!!!!!!!!! A definite stop to make if you like Mexican - I'd compare it to LaEsperanza. Yum!", "Awesome BYOB Mexican restaurant! The service was terrific. \nThe food was great, big portions and reasonable prices.\nOrdered the vegetable quesadilla, beef tacos, cactus salad and shrimp fajitas! Delicious! \nThey had no dessert to offer this time but that's just incentive to go back!", "This place is a-ma-zing! The chiles relleno are probably the best in the region. I've been here twice in the past month and it's gotta be my favorite in the region", "Are you people for real with this place? \"Amazing\"? \"Very authentic chips\"? \"...best in the region\"? You guys dont get out much, do ya?\n\nWent last night because I work nearby and yelp (you guys) said it was good, so I finally gave in. I was excited to see carnitas tacos on the menu, as my go-to mexican spot does not offer them. I ordered up 3 carnitas tacos and a tinga quesadilla, wife ordered the chicken enchiladas. \n\nShortly after ordering the waitress brought me a bottled soda. This isnt a huge deal, it just amazes me that a restaurant in 2011 accepts credit cards but doesnt have a soda fountain. Then the waitress brought us a plate of chips and salsa. It was literally a dinner plate, and the chips appeared to be straight out of a bag, with a mysterious dark goup (beans?) squirt on top. The red salsa also looked and tasted like store brand crap straight out of the jar, which was really disappointing. These are the things that make mexican restaurants unique and special. Obviously, they dont care enough to make their own here.\n\nThen came our entrees... I had high hopes for these tacos, partly because I lust for carnitas, but mainly because they were priced at an unfathomable $2.50 each. Sadly, they were stingy in size, but more alarming were the numerous large chunks of fat I kept finding. I've had carnitas dozens of times before, but never prepared in such a lazy and thoughtless manner. The tinga quesadilla was strange, at best. I mean, its not that it was bad, it was just tough to chew. Bizarre, considering its pulled chicken and melted cheese. Wife liked her chicken enchiladas w/ green sauce, the only reason this place is 2 stars instead of 1. \n\nNot sure that I would come back, even if it were to try something different. For now, the quest for the best Mexican continues. As for the rest of you - Theres 2 bridges nearby that still connect NJ to Philadelphia. I suggest you drive over one and try some real mexican food.", "Very overrated BYOB. I am pretty shocked about how high the reviews are for this place. The food was just simply not good. I tried almost ever one or their tacos (which others have noted, are small), and all of them were dry, even the chorizo was dry which I didn't think was possible. The pork and pineapple was over cooked and barely had any pineapple, I couldn't really taste the difference between it and the regular pork taco. Someone got the Texas fajitas nachos, which were also pretty bad. \n\nWe got take out, and the service was slow. It took almost twice as long for the food to be prepared than we were told that it would. The person at the counter seemed like she did not want to be there, and didn't want us to be there.\n\nNowhere near the best in the region, I'll never go back, go to La Esperanza instead.", "It seems like the bad reviews might have been expecting more of a tex-mex blend, this is authentic mexican food like what you would find if you went to a restaurant in mexico. That being said some dishes here are better than others. I have had some really good dishes, others just kind of eh. Not sure how they prepare their chicken but it is very stringy and tough in a lot of their dishes.", "If you are traveling on the thruway and looking for good Mexican food this is a great place to stop. It's an easy find off the exit AND the food was very good. The restaurant is clean, the menu is varied and I wholeheartedly disagree with my fellow helper who didn't like the food. The chips are great - not the typical out of the bag fare - and they are served with beans, sour cream and two types of salsa. We had enchiladas and the chimichanga (both chicken) and nothing was left on our plates! Food was fresh and the serving size is large. We will stop here again on our travels.", "Seriously, excellent, authentic, have you ever had Mexican food? I went on a Friday night. About 8 cars in the parking lot. Not one customer in the place. Should have been a clue. But I had given for hours and really wanted a drink. No margaritas. What? I was brought chips with bean slop and weird cheese on it with two kinds of sauce. I think it was supposed to look gourmet but was nasty. It left otherwise great chips in edible. The quesadilla I ordered was more like a grilled cheese. The guacamole was good and fresh. The pico de guillo was old and nasty. \nThe waitress was short (not on height) almost to the point of being rude. No thanks, no how was your food, would you like anything else, just shoved the bill at me as I was still eating. \nI wouldn't come back.", "The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's very nicely decorated inside. Cozy, a little dark. There was a television on behind the counter, which was very loud and distracting. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and polite. \n\nI wanted take out, and while I was able to get it, there was no take out menu. The regular menu was well presented, but had many misspelled words. \n\nThe food was delicious. I had a steak and chicken burrito that was fresh and basic. The side of chips with cheese and re-fried beans was tasty. The green sauce that came with the burrito was very spicy, something I did not expect but enjoyed. (I figured it was guacamole, and it wasn't). \n\nOverall, I would go back simply because of the food.", "This authentic restaurant is a great find! The guacamole is some of the best I've ever had. I have gotten carne asada twice which is flavorful (although somewhat grizzly in parts) with nice prices of grilled pepper, scallion, and cactus on it. \n\nThis restaurant is more than reasonably priced and will make you feel like you're in Central America (coming from a reviewer who has spent a great deal of time there).

My friend ordered the Shrimps Varadero (Slightly grilled shrimps, spiced with tropical marinade and touch of wine , garlic, onions and green peppers- I got this from the website) and I had the Arroz Amarillo cienfuego (yellow rice colored with herbs mixed with corn. Served with pollo mojo (Grilled chicken breast strips, spiced with Mojo marinade, onion and peppers topped with red wine sauce)-again from the website). We also ordered a side of black beans and my friend had a salad. Everything came out at once (and very quickly) and we started digging in. Besides yummy noises, there was pretty much silence at the table because we both loved our food! I don't do shrimp but I had some of his rice with the sauce on it and it was really flavorful. My chicken was perfectly marinated, tender and full of flavor. He cleaned his plate in a matter of minutes and then started in on the remnants of mine. \nService was pretty slow, so slow that we had to go in and ask for our check after sitting there at an empty table for about 15 minutes- hence the 4 stars instead of 5. But at least we weren't being rushed out of there, so we got to enjoy the nice evening sitting on the patio. That will be even nicer when they get the liquor license they're applying for.

There is also outdoor dining, but it was raining the evening of our visit so we were forced to sit inside. I suppose we'll just have to return. \n\nI had the roasted pork with black beans and rice and plaintains and my friend chose the grilled chicken dish with yellow rice and plaintains. Oh my! The pork was so delicious. It was tender and perfectly seasoned just like I remembered from the days I worked alongside a Cuban woman who would often bring this dish in for the whole office to share. The plaintains, well, those I could make a meal of by themselves! My only suggestion would be for TaTa to pre-slice or shred the pork leg roast...it was literally a ginormous chunk of meat and cutting it, tender as it was, with a butter knife was a challenge at times.\n\nI recommend taking half your meal home in order so that you can enjoy a slice of the homemade flan. It is the perfect ending to a great Cuban meal.", "Tata came to Indy like manna from the heavens, filling a sorely felt void in Cuban food. Slow-roasted pork and thick, sweet plantains are soul food staples that are executed effortlessly here. If you really want to induce sleep, order your food with a side of thick, starchy fried yuca. Picky eaters can't go wrong with a Cuban sandwich.", "I didn't know chicken could be that tender! I'll definitely be back for more. Warm, seasoned Cuban food tastes especially good when it is cold, windy, and icy outside. \n\nAll the entrees are $10, and the service is friendly and low-key.", "I've only been here once. The owner could not have been nicer. He took the time to explain the menu and a bit of Cuban food history. Since we were the last patrons of the night, he sent us home with a TON of different dishes to try. We really need to go back.", "We were so excited to learn there was a Cuban restaurant in Indy that we couldn't wait to try TaTa Cuban Cafe. Well, we didn't know what to expect as we walked into this tiny little restaurant on Market Street for lunch last Saturday. The decor was \"hole in the wall\" but with charm. Gloria Estefan was on the big screen and playing over the speakers as colored lights flashed on the floor to the music. Hubby ordered the Cuban Sandwich and I ordered the special, which was baked chicken with rice and plantains. The chicken special was excellent. The Cuban sandwich was good, but not as good as some we've had further south. Overall, the food was solid, the decor was cozy, the service was friendly and efficient. The only black mark was being charged for refills on soft drinks (seriously, who does that anymore?). I can't wait to go for dinner. Moderately priced. This would be a charming spot for a date.", "I was in town for a seminar and decided to venture off for lunch. TaTa was a pleasant surprise to bump into! My food was well seasoned, and the service was friendly and adequate. I look forward to my next visit!", "Well...we needed mojitos...and this was the only place I could find which seemed to have authentic Cuban fare. It did not disapoint.\nWe arrived a little after 7pm, and the place was prety well packed...seating is fairly limited, just a few 4 toppers (can be combined obviously) and some 3 topper bar style tables. \nThe food was excellent, very nicely done, and truely authentic. Had the Quimbombo vegetarian dish, with a boiled yuca app...very nice.\nThe mojitos were awesome, and each new drink seemed to contain a little more rum than the one preceeding it...which is always a good thing. They had a very nice, but small, wine selection as well...and beers.\nMy only gripe, and the thing that made me hesitant on gving 4-stars...was the service and speed of food delivery. We honestly thought our waitress was handeling the entire place by herself, but appearently there was another waitress there. Now granted it was a full house, and our waitress couldn't have been more pleasant or appologetic. The kitchen seemed to be running a bit slow, maybe understaffed for a Saturday evening. This all made for our food coming out a bit later than expected, and a few mixed up orders between tables. That aside though...we were not in a rush and it didn't phase us at all really...we were happy to suck back mojito after mojito and socialize. Some might have taken issue with it, and we noticed a few tables huffing and puffing.\nGood atmosphere though, a dominos table if you'd care to partake, and some nice outdoor seating available.\nI would go back again, and would suggest this place to anyone looking for some really good Cuban comfort food.", "I'm not sure how everyone else has got this joint on par with The French Laundry (a la cubana) buuuuut....my experience was baaaad. My mom ordered some beef dish (don't remember, it's been awhile) and a family friend who isn't anywhere near as picky as mom ordered the same thing. They agreed that an old tennis shoe would've been tastier. My dish was just forgettable...so much so, I don't even recall what I had (other than it had shrimp). What I do remember is that the whole reason I wanted to go here was for plantains, and I was not advised that those were 86'd. My plate arrived with a paltry chip substitute where the plantains should have been. Not cool! \nWhen my mother's almost full plate was given back to the server and the owner came over to scope out the situation, he was mildly argumentative, but then gave my mom 1/2 off on the dish she had eaten 1/8 of...never impressed with that kind of remedy when the food sucks. Maybe I'm spoiled, but the Cuban food I'm used to (from Los Angeles) was infinitely superior.\nSo, if anyone else is looking for great plantains, I suggest a trip to Ramsi's or Mayan Cafe in Louisville. It's worth the trip if your taste buds are running the show..." ]

I really liked the combination balsamic dressings. It was small for the price.\n\nThe pizza was also great. I like Sicilian style pizza, but the doughiness may not be for all. The menu describes this as deep dish, which is unfortunate wording. Thick crust is more accurate, but the crust is very good. The toppings were maybe a little skimpy and the size of the pizza was not great for the price. \n\nI deducted a star because the flavor/taste wasn't exactly perfect, but that is being picky.

It was awesome just like the atmosphere and artwork. Can't wait to come back and try something new.", "We stopped here for a bite to eat last night with some friends. The food and service were great. The Sicilian style pizza and the charcuterie were our favorites.", "We had the prosciutto arugula pizza, the Vito panini, and the risotto balls. SO GOOD! I would re-order all of them again. The service was great, but the artwork on the ceiling and through out the restaurant is amazing! I'm looking forward to going back and trying the breakfast pizzas.", "Ate there last night with my dad and brother, place is the real deal.

[ "A local favorite that I tried one day with my sister when we were debating whether to drive all the way to Channelside or to use our GPS to find somewhere to it. I'm glad we did!\n\nThe inside of this place has some of the nicest decorations that I have seen at a Thai restaurant. Gold looking objects surround you and the restaurant has a tranquil feel to it. Even the hallway to the bathroom has some kind of oak or wood that looks amazingly decorated.\n\nService is great and waiters are always available when you need them. They are quick to fill you orders and every time I order Pad Thai here I basically dive into it because it tastes so good. I'm always sad because I get too full to finish it all, but I try!\n\nThe Thai Tea is also pretty good here, but I find it goes quicker in the glasses that they give you than other Thai places I have been to. It is not one of the cheaper Thai places, but it's well worth the price.", "Fabulous Thai. Good quality, well-priced, efficient service, casual atmosphere. Great spot for both lunch and dinner. Everyone I've taken there has loved the place and returned for a repeat visit!", "Great authentic decor! Food...it was decent. I decided to try their Pad Thai based on the previous reviews and was very disappointed. It was sweet, greasy, and way too orange looking. They also didn't give me enough limes/lemons. I also tried their Tom Kha Gai (Coconut chicken soup) and that was a little better than their Pad Thai, but the flavors were still lacking. They definitely skimp on the lemongrass and galanga root, which makes me sad because that's my favorite soup. Kha in Thai means galanga. Hence, the soup should be enhanced by the galanga root and you shouldn't taste just straight coconut milk. It's decent for a quick Thai food fix.", "Best Thai food in the area. Great decor and friendly staff, they will always remember you.", "I am not sure what happened here, but this place now makes horrible Pad Thai. These guys opened a second location and that probably killed this one, the people who now run this location are totally different and not the same people I normally see when I go in. \n\nThe Sate was dry, the spring roll was greasy, and the Pad Thai brought no spice at all, could not find any pepper flakes in at all. Its time for me to find a new place. I am completely disappointed because I liked going here, but I guess all things must change.", "Went there for lunch and was pleasantly surprised, as having recently moved to Tampa from Los Angeles, I have been disappointed by the food. However, I give Ploy Thai 4 stars, not just by Tampa standards, but by good food standards. The food was very flavorful and the ingredients very fresh.", "Never been upset with the quality here. Always consistent and awesome. My favorite is the shrimp curry( Thai hot!) with the crab rangoon appetizer.", "Nice place. The panang was tasty. I was not crazy about the regular fried rice--it seemed bland and did not have enough veggies. But everything else was very good. The decor is very nice.", "Right when I walked in, I was amazed by the beautiful decor. Everywhere I'd look there was something gold and unique (just look at the photos). Right away this place was fine dining with petite tables and delicate table settings. Even the servers are dressed in colorful Thai attire so I really felt as if we were in Thailand minus the language barrier. They were all friendly and attentive and I especially loved the attention to detail throughout the restaurant.\n\nI arrived with a good friend and fellow yelper during lunch time and ordered from the lunch special. I was craving something with seafood so I ordered the Seafood w/ Green Curry, which was really good. It was hardy, sweet and spicy, yet very light. I ordered Thai Hot, but in my opinion it wasn't hot enough. The presentation of the dish was too cute to eat. I also loved how they served us their house soup and crab ragoon which was included with our meal. Everything tasted wonderful and I ended up finishing my dish because the portion was just right. I will definitely return if I am ever back in Brandon again. I'll definitely try something new.", "My partner and I stumbled upon this place after visiting an adjacent business and while we were viewing the menu on the outside window, a customer walked into the door and recommended this restaurant to us. Despite having my 17-month old kidlet in tow on a Friday night, we went in!\n\nThe decor is beautiful - striking dark wood with ornate gold carvings on the walls. The servers wear traditional Thai dress and there are beautiful painted porcelain pheasant salt/pepper shakers on the tables. The server was very gracious in providing a high chair, because by looking at the decor, I wasn't sure if kidlet would be welcome on a Friday night! They provided a separate little plate of boiled tofu and rice for her even though it was not on the menu.\n\nI had the spicy tofu and my partner had the chef's special of crispy duck. We also ordered the spring roll appetizer. The presentation of the dishes were beautiful, with a carved carrot and a flower on each plate. We also received a complimentary order of the curry puffs for the \"early bird special\" as well as a soup (vegetarian for me, chicken for my partner). Our entrees were delicious as well! My partner's duck was crispy and moist with a subtle ginger sauce and the vegetables in my spicy tofu were tender-crisp and NOT overcooked at all! I would recommend that if you like your Thai food spicy that you ask for something beyond their idea of hot. I got mine spicy but I thought it was mild-medium. I could have ramped it up much more before I was sniffling or sweating!\n\nPrices are reasonable, with all the food we ate (including soda and kidlet's tofu), we still made it out for under $40 (before tip). If you're looking for a place near the Brandon mall that serves great food in a beautiful ambient setting for a reasonable price, look no further than Ploy Thai!" ]

[ "Madison's Grill is the top-end restaurant at Union Bank Inn. It's well-known as one of the best dining places in the city. As expected, it is expensive. I went there and had a $20-plus salad with a lobster tail on it that was absolutely delicious. I also had a $40 bison steak that wasn't that good. I found it a bit tough. But in fairness to the chef, I didn't order it rare which you're supposed to. It's a very nice, smaller and intimate space. If you're waking up at the hotel and having brunch here, the coffee is wonderful and the breakfast menu is fabulous. The staff and servers are more mature, respectable and present well. My boyfriend was a bit embarrassed when he asked what they had for beers on tap and the waiter replied, \"We don't have a tap here, sir.\" The wine list is lovely and you will have a memorable meal, but be prepared to splurge.", "We had such a great Valentine's Day meal. Our, waiter, Joel was fun and knew his stuff. Our wine tasty and oh the food! Course 2 consume was a great set up for the Fig and Fois Gras salad and OH MY GOD\nGnocchi with crab, lobster, Comte and a chardonnay cream sauce! It was one of the nicest meals we've had in Edmonton in a long time and the best meal we've had a that price point in a long time. Totally work it.", "Possibly the best eggs benedict we have had in Edmonton. Surprisingly inexpensive brunch menu, pleasant and attentive service, lovely decor. It's divine! Wish Edmonton had more eateries like this one.", "I was curious to return to Madison's Grill in the Union Bank Inn since the renovation. To be sure, the new colours do add light without needing any actual light, a plus :-]\n\nWe had a bit of an early dinner since 7pm seating was full, however, we were assured we wouldn't be rushed out and we weren't. We had a nice table for 2 at the windows and from there we started eyeing the menu.\n\nFirst off, the meals we ordered were quite good and aside a few VERY little things, I must say, this is one of the few places that I hope I can count on to be consistent in ALL its features; from the friendly and attentive staff to the good food we did have.\n\nI had as an appetizer the Baked Portneuf Brie which was quite good, however, and it is really my first only \"ding\" on my meal; the candied nuts were a bit too much and it would have been more pleasing to the palate to have the bread slices that accompanied the brie toasted. From there, I ordered, per the recommendation of it being less gamey than the bison, the Hog Wild Boar. It was VERY good and tender, NOT gamey at all. With our meal, as we do when it is available, we ordered champagne :-] which also went nicely with the creme brulee, unfortunately, my second little \"ding\"; the top was a more burnt than crisp, however, once I got the top off, the \"creme\" was very nice, light and perfect with the last drops of champagne.\n\nI am not ready to give it a 4/5 simply because I would like to return to \"confirm\" this experience. However, rest assured, I am very confident in recommending Madison's for a lovely and tranquil, AND delicious night out.", "My husband and I went to Madison's Grill to celebrate his birthday, along with my Aunt and Uncle who were celebrating my Uncle's retirement.\nAs soon as we arrived, we were seated by a very friendly waiter, unfortunately, he was not the one waiting on our table.\nMy aunt asked for the tasting menu, and our waitress informed her that its not recommended if only one person at the table wants it because then the timing of the dishes is off, and she will be getting dishes while everyone else doesn't. We all agreed that we didn't mind, but then the server scrambled and said that its actually too much work for the kitchen to compile a tasting menu for just one person. That is understandable, and that is what we should have been told in the first place rather than a fib about it being for \"our convenience\". It also does not say on the menu that the tasting menu is only available for an entire table.\nWith our appetizer and entree orders placed, our server brought out buns and butter - I asked that she bring extra butter, which she did, and threw it on the table in front of me with a roll of her eyes.\nFor appetizers, we had the pork belly ravioli, the shortrib & gnocchi soup, and the twice baked goat cheese souffle. All were delicious, though the soup seemed like the worst value at $12 for a bowl.\nFor entrees, we got the bison, the arctic char, the lamb shank and the pheasant breast. Again, every single thing on each plate was delicious. The meat was all perfectly cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender. The sides (mashed potatoes, potato pave, mushroom risotto, and potato strings) were tasty, and we each got a nice selection of veggies.\nThe service, however, continued to be somewhat disdainful, bordering on being outright rude.\nWe should have ended the meal there, but we made the mistake of ordering dessert. Obviously, desert is not Madison's strong point.\nWe got the upside-down blueberry cake, the apple tart, and the ice cream sandwich. The only really yummy thing was the blueberry cake. The apple tart was overly spiced with cinnamon (and I love cinnamon), the crust on the tart was very tough, and it came garnished with almond brittle that was impossible to eat. The biggest let down was the ice cream sandwich. We got a a 1\"x1\" square of chocolate cake with a minuscule layer of ice cream inside, this was accompanied by a 1 oz cup of \"milkshake\". This tiny dessert cost us $10 (the same price as the other 2, relatively large portions), and what little there was had no taste at all. When the waitress came to retrieve our plates (not asking how it was), we made sure to tell her that not only was the price point ridiculous for such a tiny serving, but that it didn't taste like anything at all.\nThen she never came back. We waited at least 20 minutes for the bill, and it was finally brought by another server.\nI would love to give Madison's more than 3 stars, because all of the appetizers and entrees were spectacular, but unfortunately the service was average at best, and we were actually made to feel quite uncomfortable by our assigned waitress. And our last taste of the meal was that awful, overpriced dessert (which was not removed from the bill despite our obvious displeasure).\nI would recommend Madison's, but stay our of Seria's (I think that was her name) section, and don't waste your money on dessert.", "The best thing Madison's has got going is atmosphere and service. The ambiance was romantic and comfortable (right down to the furniture) and the service was prompt and (mostly) helpful but unobtrusive.\n\nThe food is good. Nothing mind-blowing here, but solid. I ate a six-course fixed menu for Valentine's Day and was alternately indifferent and impressed. The tomato basil \"pistou\" was essentially a minestrone; I didn't enjoy the chunky texture and could have used a creamy accoutrement. The bread rolls were schmeh and I suppose it's one of those background things but details say a lot about overall direction in menu. I don't like eating seafood in Alberta: it comes from too far away. Not that Madison's billets itself as a localvore haunt but considering the category (I'd say it's bordering on fine) and price, you'd expect there to be something that pops out. \n\nThe beef and salad courses were fantastic. All the flavours and ingredients were well balanced and executed well. I also enjoyed the sablefish, even though I know it came from faraway. But I couldn't get behind the other seafood courses and feel that Alberta has a lot to offer in terms of meat options. \n\nThe only knock I have on the service was the wine recommendation. I asked for something fruity but not \"in your face, like Australian shiraz\". We were served a French _____ (sorry, can't remember the region) and it started off pleasantly enough (light, aromatic fruit, zippy acidity) but as it had a chance to decant, it became downright sour, almost vinegary. Not the nicest last few sips. \n\nI will probably go back but due to the cost, not anytime soon. So close Edmonton, so close.", "We stayed at the Union Bank inn and had a couple meals at Madison's. For being a higher end restaurant It was right up there with being one of the better experiences in this class of dining experience. \n\nWe didn't arrive during peak times so it wasn't busy for us which adds to my experience of the food being extremely quick but very good. Service was polite and friendly. The prices were on par with other places of similar class. Decor was nice. \n\nI'm a vegetarian (vegan at home) and usually restaurants of this scale don't carter to me. Sometimes they are willing to \"whip\" something up for me because it's not on the menu and generally get whatever the chief will make me which isn't always to my taste and sometimes they offer to serve me a double portion of salad with most of the distinguishing features missing. Either way I rarely consider that an easy or special dining experience and sometimes open food at a place of this scale can be extremely expensive because they charge whatever they want when the bill shows up. Madison's has at least one suitable and good choice per menu which always pleases me because I can eat multiple courses with my companion and feel like a normal customer. \n\nI particularly liked the chocolate tasting plate for dessert (dinner menu). The price was reasonable ($10) and portions were decent for \"tastes\" so it felt like I had 3 very good desserts.", "I come to Madison's for breakfast about once a week, and I've never been disappointed. The food is excellent, and service is nearly impossible to beat, and they even bring you your own mini-caraffe of coffee -- a great thing to have if you love to drink coffee as much as I do.\n\nMost recently, I opted for an omelette. You can pick three different ingredients, so I chose spinach, tomato and goat's cheese. It was like a glorious explosion of eggy flavour in my mouth. I smoothed out the tang of the goat's cheese with a few pieces of toast and some pan-fried potatoes. This meal left me full until beyond lunchtime.\n\nMadison's seems like a super-upscale place -- and it is -- but that doesn't mean you can come here dressed a little more casually. I definitely recommend you book reservations, which you can do easily online since the restaurant uses OpenTable.\n\nMadison's has breakfast down pat. I'm really looking forward to trying dinner here.", "I've been to Madison's more in the last month than I have since it opened. I remember giving it a try when it was still new, and found that the menu read really well, full of very tempting and unique sounding combinations, but the meal never met the promise of those descriptions. A great chef may have planned the menu, or a great writer wrote it, but it seemed that neither stayed on to ensure their vision made it to the table.\n\nMore recently I've been there quite a few times for work, both a breakfast and several lunches. Sadly they didn't impress at breakfast, my basted eggs came sunny-side up, with the undercooked snot that is the reason I avoid ordering that style. They also gave me hash browns, which were easy enough to avoid eating, but were not what I ordered when I asked for eggs and toast. They didn't have either soy or almond milk for my coffee, which I know can be a stretch for smaller establishments to have on hand, but if you are going for superior service you should be prepared to accommodate guests avoiding dairy. One of my breakfast companions had the eggs benedict. They said it was good, but a grey hollandaise isn't particularly appetizing looking.\n\nLunch fortunately has been much much better. They were able to accommodate a group that was much larger than our reservation and this time the menu read less inspiring than the tastes that were a delightful surprise. The Gull Valley tomato salad is amazing, with arugula, 3 or 4 varieties of tomato, goat cheese and a stunning smoky sweet onion relish that I couldn't stop adding to every bite. The soups I've tried suffered from not meeting the promise that the servers gave from exquisite descriptions (the writer must be on staff), but were ok, just not so great that I needed to devour them like that salad. other dishes I've sampled have been very good, and I've put this place back onto my lunch list.\n\nMy rating is lunch only, as this is my main reason for coming here. I'd only give them 2 stars for breakfast.", "When you dine out in downtown Edmonton, you often run into the problem where cost battles pretension in a war between the rock and the hard place. My first trip for lunch at Madison's solved that problem nicely. Upscale yet comfortable, classy but inviting, the Coco Chanel-like black and white theme mixes with a 1930s hotel interior to say \"You're in a nice place, but you won't break the bank\". I tried the Mac n Cheese, intrigued because the menu description made little mention of either, and enjoyed the meat topped dish very much. My fellow lawyer guests loved their salmon. As for atmosphere, they wore suits, I wore shorts with a collared shirt, and I only wished that I had time for a scotch at the bar. Not quite the Hotel Mac, but that can be a good thing at times. A great find." ]

Someone will inevitably suggest going here, and I'll think to myself, \"ugh. I don't want to go there.\" But a few minutes later, when we're walking inside, I think to myself, \"okay, this is really going to be better this time.\" But it's not. It never is. And then I eat strawberry pie and forget about how much I just hated my meal. It's not fair I tell you.\n\nThey do have a decent beer selection and a lot of TVs, so I'll give them credit for that too.\n\nDid I mention the strawberry pie?", "it's not the best of places, but it does have amazing pie (thanks for making me remember Jonathan). Other then that it really doesn't offer too much beyond a decent beer selection.\nthe fact that you can walk around a Borders before you wait to be seated does have it's appeal. but due to the amount of time that you end up waiting since they forgot about you, the appeal wears off quickly. at least they have a good outdoor section.", "I have so many memories at Gulifties...

Gullifties is one of those bars/ restaurants you can always count on. The food is always decently good - chicken parm, sandwiches, burgers, mozzerella balls (especially tasty when drunk), philly cheesesteaks, etc. I have to say I have never tried the pie. The bar can get crowded which was always annoying, but even when I drunkenly left my credit card with the bartenders a couple times, I always got it back! The staff is very nice.

Not to mention good beers - oh my gosh - their beer list is absolutely amazing : ) \n\nGo on Wednesday night, the karaoke song list is pretty good and the crowd is OK.

The atmosphere downstairs is kind of dark but tends to get brighter on the higher levels. Their menu is bistro type food and median priced (no real bargains). It has the right kind of hang-out atmosphere but tends to get loud during peak hours.\n\nI would pass on the outdoor seating...not much of a view.", "This was more than just a pub food type place. We always had something good to eat while here. \n\nNot being a beer fan, I can't speak to this personally, but my husband and friends always wanted to go here so that they could try a new beer. There were beers from all over the world.\n\nThe atmosphere was friendly and energetic and the staff nice. When living in the area, we returned often to this restaurant.", "sigh. I'm not going to say that I go to Gullifty's specifically for the sea dog blueberry beer but in my head when someone says \"hey steph, wanna go to gullifty's?\" my first thought is \"yeah, and i'll get that delic blueberry beer\". To make a long story short... when I went for quizzo last thursday (which turned into a bro fest) they didn't have my beloved beer. I cried a little. They had some substitute but it wasn't the same. \n\nOn another note, I learned why it is called \"Gullifty's\". Comes from Mr.Rodgers funny enough, he wanted a word that rhymed with \"nifty\" and he came up with gullifty.

Food is always solid - actually made with very natural ingredients, which the owner prides himself on - and they by far have the best beer selection on the Main Line.

The place is big enough to service large crowds and it had a nice bar area to sit if you were not in need of a table. Beyond the greeter guy, the staff was very friendly. Vince and I had their MONSTER (I called it that because they were huge) margs and it was good! I had ...heck, I don't remember (must be the drinks) rice, beans (yuck, not a fan of any beans) and a deep-fried chimi with chicken and beef. Excellent! Vince had something similar but with corn cake something....and some type of beef with lots of sauce and tortillas. He said it was good. We also ordered Crab Cakes, and me being a big seafood lover, I did not like the cakes. They were mushy, wet, and not too tasty. All in all, I think it was good food. I just won't have the crab cakes again, LOL.", "I was finally able to try this place after what seemed like the eternal renovation. I drive past each day on my way home, so was thrilled to see an OPEN sign. \n\nI'll begin with the decor. It is traditional Spanish. Looks very new and crisp.

I ordered 2 tacos (one beef, one chicken) and they were both quite tasty. The rice and beans were what I would expect. Nothing out of this world, but definitely not bad either. I should note the lunch menu is not available for the reduced price on Sunday, only Monday-Saturday. \n\nThe wait staff is very friendly, but it takes a while to get service.

This was my very first visit, but my MIL, who had been there back when it was Hacienda's (or whatever it was called pre-Chimi's era), said it was MUCH nicer, cleaner and more open. So the new management did a great job fixing the place up.\n\nWe split the Parillada Mexicana fajitas (double portion) which came with an enormous plate of sizzling goodness. Almost 10 pieces of shrimp, plus chorizo (Mexican sausage) and chicken/steak/carnitas. It was to die for! The pico de gallo was excellant and fresh. I was also a big fan of the chips and salsa, but I am especially easy to please when it comes to warm, crunchy tortilla chips.\n\nI am reserving the coveted final star because I have yet to try one of their margaritas. I'm sure it won't be long til I'm back with an update.", "Love this place and am so excited they are finally open!\n\nAlways friendly and attentive service, which is why our family goes on average of about once a week. \n\nAs far as the food goes: I would recommend the spinach quesadilla--which is out of this world. Their speciality, of course, is chimichanga. I have tried all of the variations and they have been great--they season their meat very well. \n \nThe margaritas are good--you can get them by the glass or pitcher.\n\nThey also have a nice selection of beers on draft.", "Excellent standard Mexican restaurant fare at reasonable prices. We had two entrees, an appetizer and a huge mug of beer each and the bill was just over $30. Nicely remodeled seating area, especially compared to the run-down look of the previous occupant, Hacienda.", "Great texmex food. The margaritas and great and dangerous!

Took a couple of customers here for lunch today and everything was really good. Good food - good atmosphere - good service.\n\nI highly recommend the lunch fajitas but it is crucially important to understand that you are getting yourself into what really looks to be a dinner-sized portion at a lunch-sized price. Don't load up on the chips & salsa and still expect to get through your meal without needing an afternoon siesta!\n\nAlso of note, the waitress recommended their chipolte sauce as a jalapeno-free alternative to their salsa. I'm glad that I took her recommendation because it was delicious. So much so that I kept it to try on the fajitas and created a completely new flavor profile that really worked well. A little spicy, a little smoky and a whole lot yummy!", "Went there recently with a friend and had a good meal. The combo beef, pork and chicken chimi had lots of meat and was filling. Fortunately left room for the fried ice cream which we shared and was delicious!" ]

[ "I got their 1/2 lb. \"squeal\" burger, which is half beef half sausage. It was extremely salty (and I'm a guy that likes salt), but OK. The corn maque choux tasted like it came from a can, and the potato salad was average. For $10 it wasn't too bad, but I probably won't return. If I want good, cheap BBQ I will head to Ms. Hyster's and if I want a fancy sandwich I'll hit up Cochon Butcher.", "I tried this place for the first time this past weekend and overall it was very good. Their St Louis style ribs were excellent. I dare say, the best in New Orleans. They were the perfect combination of smoke, sweet, and spicy; yet the pork taste of the meat came through very flavorful. A lot of BBQ has such a strong smoke flavor that it masks the meat and you can't tell if you are eating beef or pork. But these guys have it totally figured out. \n\nThe service was excellent and quick. The beans had a very good flavor and the beer was ice cold, including the glass. \n\nTheir potato salad was so-so. Too much crunchy bell pepper and onion for me, and not enough of a potato flavor. But, that's my taste. \n\nI will definitely go back and try some other dishes.", "I ate at Squeal last weekend in order to continue my quest for the best bbq in Nola. I'll admit that I went there on Friday, and then went back for a second round on Sunday, but mainly because nothing is open on Sundays in Nola and I had a coupon. Yes, I clip coupons. However, I'm glad I did go back, otherwise I wouldn't have tried the cheese corn grits and collard greens...both amazing.\n\nThe second trip also yielded the discovery that they have Bear Republic Racer 5 and Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan......on tap!\n\nTheir cole slaw is, as my friend Eric calls it, \"commoditized slaw,\" but their other sides are scrumptious, namely, exquisitely smoky corn maque choux and baked beans. And, to sweeten the deal, three hush puppies with every entrée!\n\nThe one thing that Squeal is lacking, as my co-worker Frank was quick to point out, is a whole lotta smoke. I'm of the opinion that a bbq place should be so smoky that it's hard to breathe and your clothes should reek for the rest of the day. Maybe they'll get the hint and open the door to the kitchen.\n\nFor more from me on Nola cuisine, visit http://eatdrinknola.blogspot.com", "I was in town for the French Quarter Festival, and wanted to check out Oak Street eateries. The street was all dug up, but friendly locals directed us to a parking spot nearby. Our target restaurants were closed, but we stumbled upon Squeal. A good thing. I have had BBQ throughout the south, Texas, and on both coasts, and the ribs here were The Best! Seriously, I have never had such juicy, meaty, fall-off-the-bone, perfectly spiced ribs in 40+ years of searching. If you live in or visit this city and like BBQ ribs, try this place out. Ample quantities, and amazing sides. Cheese corn girts, and collard greens alone were worth the visit. And the hush puppies....the first I have EVER had the had any character at all.\nFriendly staff, nice room and veranda, several fine beers on tap.", "I finally made it to Squeal. I wanted to try something besides the ribs and tried the hickory smoked meats plate. I ordered it with brisket and smoked sausage. The brisket was good with moderately spicy BBQ sauce, but the pork smoked sausage was great with very good flavor. The large links were grilled whole, then cut in half and grilled again. The well grilled casing provided great flavor. For sides I tried the corn maque choux and roasted corn cheese grits. Both sides were delicious and fresh. The portions were large, service was friendly, and a good selection of cold draft and bottled beer. I will definitely be returning.", "A few weeks ago I headed uptown with some friend who wanted to try Jacques-Imo's after my raving. I didn't know it was closed for its annual vacation.

Our party of four had the Crab & Andouille Stuffed Fried Mushrooms, the BBQ Smoked Meat sandwich, the two meat plate with brisket and pulled pork, the Squeal (a concoction of a few of their sides and pulled pork and a little bit of heaven) and the Squeal Nachos. We loved everything (there was a lot of \"You've got to try this\" going on) \nDon't miss this place!", "Squeal and Voodoo BBQ are the 2 best places in NOLA for BBQ. They are slightly different though, so it depends on your mood.\n\nSqueal's hickory smoked ribs are exceptional. So is the squeal pie and the NACHOS! Their bar is stocked with less common (but exceedingly good) liquors. Friendly staff, and part-owner Joel is a riot.\n\nI'll do a review on Voodoo BBQ, but in general, I'd go to Voodoo if you're looking for exceptional pulled pork and a host of incredible sides.", "What a fun lunch! We started with the black bean and meaty nachos, chock full of cheddar cheese and fresh jalapeno peppers! Then I had a glass of wine. Yeah! Wine on a school night! We later split a bbq sandwich of pulled pork and very well done (like we like 'em french fries, that were fresh, not frozen). The serving sizes were large so we split everything-- I am very happy we went here, A simple quick lunch with little fanfare or drama.

Everything is made to order, where the food is prepared is up front, you can watch your food being made, and the prep area/kitchen is very clean. All the guys that work there are helpful. I recommend this place if you want Greek food that's fast, fresh, and reasonably priced!! Also if your a vegetarian or gluten free they have options for you!!", "Several years ago I wrote a side-by-side comparison of the quick-serve Greek food restaurants in northwestern Hillsborough County, and I tipped my hat to the folks at The Hungry Greek on Race Track Road, just outside of Westchase. At the time of my reviews, they were the best of the best.\n\nFast forward to today, and I find out that The Hungry Greek has opened a new location at the corner of N. Dale Mabry and Linebaugh Avenue in southern Carrollwood. This is the Publix shopping center which also includes Tijuana Flats and the Brass Tap; and Hungry Greek is located at the site of a former, very popular little Greek café in that same shopping center.\n\nThe Hungry Greek has only been open a few weeks, and the place absolutely sparkles with cleanliness. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is just as outstanding as I always remembered. Hungry Greek offers the standard gyros, Greek salads, stuffed grape leaves, and pastitsio. They also offer a nice mix of wraps, grilled salmon, kabobs, and souvlaki, with a wide variety of Greek favorites. The grilled dishes are cooked over a wood-burning fire while you wait.\n\nThe restaurant is set up like a serving line. You look at the menu up over the open-air kitchen, and place your order at the end of the line. While you're getting your drink from the fountain behind you, the crew is already fast at work, preparing your meal. They'll bring everything out on a tray as soon as it's ready.\n\nMy go-to meal is the Gyro Dinner which is sliced gyro meat, served over yellow rice with a Greek salad. The gyro meat was sliced freshly right off the rotating spit, as opposed to dried-out meat sitting in a warming tray (found in other Greek restaurants). The yellow rice with mixed vegetables was fresh -- no re-heated frozen veggies in here, and no rice that was cooked the night before. The whole wheat pita bread was toasted on the spot, and tasted fresh instead of stale. And don't forget the freshly-made tzatziki sauce as well. \n\nI'm an especially big fan of their Greek salad which is made with fresh lettuce, a scoop of potato salad, slices of red onions, Kalamata olives, wedges of fresh tomatoes, slices of green Bell peppers, slices of pepperoncini, a slice of a fresh red beet, and a healthy sprinkle of feta cheese. This reminds me so much of the famed Pappas Greek salad from Tarpon Springs. All of this gyro dinner yumminess on one platter for $10.50.\n\nIf you just want the Greek Salad, then you can buy a large one for $7. Spend the extra $1.25, and they'll chop the whole thing up. That's well worth the up-charge. If you like the Avgolemono (lemon-rice-chicken) soup, then the Hungry Greek always has that ready to serve, and again it is spectacular. Crumble in some crackers, add some black pepper, and I'm good to go.\n\nFinally, there's that intangible factor of a fun place to eat with people that genuinely care as to whether you are enjoying their food. The folks behind the counter at The Hungry Greek were extremely friendly, and willing to answer lots of questions about the food. The manager came by to say Hello, and spent time asking me how I had learned of the restaurant and what I thought of their food. It's hard to argue with good old fashioned customer service, and really nice people. \n\nBottom line, this is my favorite place for Greek food, and I'll happily support the restaurant..... even if their logo looks like Borat after a rough night of sipping Ouzo. Opa!", "Great food, Most authentic Greek food run by true Greeks. Fresh carve Gyro meat, not over cooked and dried out. I had a restaurant and I have to say his Gyros are very close to mine and Tarpon Springs. I love to support good food and place that sells Authentic Greek Food. Not like others who are not even Greek. Friendly and fast service. Great Job Guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", "I was so excited to see another Greek restaurant in Carrollwood Center...right where the previous Greek restaurant had been. I ordered a chopped Greek salad to go with chicken breast. It was over $10. When I got home with my meal there was no chicken...and no potato salad. And even worse, there was barely any feta cheese to be found. All other toppings were in abundance, but without the potato salad, chicken (which I paid extra for), and very little feta cheese, I was very disappointed. However they did give me enough dressing for three salads! \n\nOn a positive note, the place was clean and the service was very fast.", "First time here and I was disappointed. Tea tastes instant not brewed and phyllo was tough on my spanakopita. Close to work so I'll try again; hope it improves.", "Very clean and very fast!\nI ordered a Greek salad, and was very happy with the freshness and quality.\n\nOutside bistro seating is available, which makes it's a great choice on a not so sweltering day.\n\nWould certainly return.", "Very clean restaurant my oder was for take out which was great, and ready when I got there, the food was wonderful, great job!", "The service I just received here was exceptional!

[ "This my husband and my \"go-to\" place. Whenever we can't decide on where we would like to go we inevitably choose Brother Pauls.\n\n\nThe restaurant/pub is located on Ridge Pike just outside of the Collegeville/Norristown/Worcester area in a renovated stone home(?). It is an old building with not much updating on the inside. When you walk into the restaurant you are immediately in the bar area. This can be annoying if you have to wait a time for a hostess as the bar area isn't smoke free. \n\nThe rest of the place consists of three additional rooms. The first one is in between the bar and the larger restaurant room. I've never been seated here, but it looks like they can accommodate some larger groups at these tables.\n\nThe larger room is comprised of tables and booths. More tables then booths. It can get pretty loud between all of the tvs and families that frequent the restaurant.\n\nThe next room is actually the enclosed front porch of the house. I like sitting here best. One long bench seat with tables spaced out. Again, my husband can always catch a game while we eat dinner or grab a beer from their EXTENSIVE beer list (book).\n\nThe food is ok. It isn't overpriced, but I wish they would change up the menu every once in awhile. They do offer specials each night. But I would like to see some variety on the regular menu. They do make an awesome veggie pannini and their burgers are great.\n\nThey have outdoor seating as well. You feel like you are in your own world because of the high stucco wall that keeps you from seeing the parking lot and Ridge Road.\n\nI enjoy coming here both in the summer and the winter. A beer on the patio or a dirty martini sitting out in the enclosed porch when it is cold outside are equally enjoyable for this friendly fall-back restaurant.", "So I'm torn on this review...The place is pretty large and has a lot of seating options (which Laura W mentions). It seems to have a pretty strong following since it was really busy on a Thursday night (although it was the day before July 4th and there was a Phillies game on). \n\nI was with a party of 15 people and the food did come out quickly and all at once. I ordered their chicken parm sandwich which was awful. It tasted like it had peppers on it and I had to play \"find the chicken\" in my bun. But, everyone else seemed to LOVE their pull pork sandwich. I saw 5 women eat the whole thing. That's got to say something, right? \n\nI think I'm going to have to take Jeff back there to try it. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong dish?", "I've tried and tried to like Brother Paul's and don't get me wrong I've had some fun times here. The problem is the food is not very good. The wings are pretty good, which could be what saved me from dropping only one start on poor Brother Paul. I've tried a burger, a couple other sandwiches, I've had friends who've ordered steaks there, and all were less than good. Like I said, I've tried. The bar is very big and nicely set up to watch several games at a time. The decor is decorated with college pennants giving it an nice atmosphere. \n\nEven with two stars I would recommend going there for two things. Wings and beer. They have a large selection of tasty beers and again, the wings are pretty good. I'd be happy to bump up my rating if I'm able to go back and have a good meal experience.", "Yeah, not so blown away with this place. I think its all about the atmosphere and the drinks and the darts (notice that the ATM next to the dart boards totally has a chip out of the screen). \n\nBut this review is for the food. Pass. The sandwiches, the salads, the entrees - this is all pretty much low-end pub food. Drink enough and you won't mind. Or do yourself a favor, and just drink enough.", "I'll have to help out the neighborhood eatery here as some of the Friday night specials have been outstanding. Last November, I had the New England seafood bowl which was a dozen or so clams and mussels, four humongous shrimp, four equally humongous scallops, parsleyed potatoes, corn on the cob and huge wedges of crispy garlic bread served in a bowl full of rich seafood broth AND... topped off with a half of a lobster for $21. I don't know how they made any money that night but such deals do exist. As for everyday fare, OK I guess.", "This place is decent for the Eagleville/Collegeville area. \n\nI can't speak for the food, but I went here for drinks and desert. The rum and cokes were nice and strong. The candy bar explosion cake was pretty tasty, I have to say. Although I didn't drink the beer, they have a decent selection. \n\nI would probably go to Capone's in East Norriton before heading here, but if you live more towards Collegeville this place would certainly be good. Capone's doesn't have good food, but they do have a better beer selection. I would definitely return to Brother Paul's and give the food a try, though.", "We visited Brother Pauls about ten times in three years. It was 30-minute-plus drive, so unless we found ourselves over there for other business, going over there took a commitment. The menu is well-executed 'pub food' with a great selection of beers. I like the burgers and fries, which is usually enough to keep me happy. Occasionally, the service can be distracted,and you can get unruly children.", "Brother Paul's is a relaxed bar with a good micro selection, and some really good pub food.\n\nLast time I was there they were one of the first places to have Anchor OSA on tap.. a must for the holiday season. I had a very decent grilled cheese on whole grain bread, and a passable soup.\n\nFriends with me raved about the roast pork (which is roasted daily) and is served with sharp provolone ( a must ) and some nice long hots. You also can have broccoli rabe on the sandwich as well.\n\nThis neighborhood gem gets less pub than other places around, but really deserves a visit for the beer geek in Mont Co,", "Cool atmosphere, and one of the Best Bar Grub places in the area.\nRecommend the burgers and the Loaded Nachos.\nGood Beer selection as well. I the summer they also have an outdoor patio area, for smokers like myself to hang out and drink & smoke", "Had high hopes when some folks from work sang raises of their burgers.\n\nUnfortunately, burger I got was greasy and quite pedestrian.

[ "Tasty Teriyaki Wings! \n\nI walked in O! Wing Plus suprised at the bright colored paint on the walls. I describe this place as a modern wingspot. They have flat screen tv's, beyonce bumpin on the speakers, and wing plus written brightly on the wall. \n\nThey're options range from wings, wraps, fish, fried rice, and dessert. I opted for the 5 wing combo which included one flavor,one side and a drink for 6.99. The wait time is approximately 10 mins. \n\nMy Teriyaki wings were really good. I think i migt try the bee bee que sauce next. The fries were ok...nothing to rave about. Wingstop is right down the street and has way better fries! \n\nNonetheless, this place has a cheery atmosphere and comparable prices to other wing places in the area. \n\nTake a peek at my pics and you'll see what i mean by \"bright and cheery\"!", "O! Wing Plus is a great family owned restaurant! The customer service was great. My boyfriend and I ordered the 15 wing combo which included french fries for $9.59 (I think). For the 15 wing order, you can choose up to 2 different flavors, so we ordered half in buffalo and the other half in O! original. At most restaurants, I like the buffalo flavor the best, but the O! original was very delicious! It tastes like a sweet teriyaki sauce. The fries were also very delicious. They use a season salt mixture instead of the gross, salt/sugar combination that is used by Wing Stop on their fries. The restaurant is very laid back, contemporary, well decorated, and clean. I highly recommend it!", "I really want to like this place, I do but it was very \"eh.\"\n\nThe owner was very nice and welcoming- even let me try some sauces...\n\nBut when it came to the food, I really don't think it was up to par. The meat itself was great, but all of the sauces were way too sugary and fake-tasting, if that makes any sense. The \"garlic parmesan\" was SO weird- it was like a fried wing with garlic sauce alioli on top with little strips of parmesan on top. It was less good (or gourmet) and more like someone trying to invent how to do a garlic parmesan at home.\n\nIf you just need your kick of bbq wings- the regular sauce was fine. Just nothing special. And I also just thought that the portion of carrots and celery for .99 was kind of ridiculous- like 5 mini carrots and 5 little pieces of celery,\n\nP.S. Stephanie S. contacted me after addressing my concerns and invited me back in- so they're definitely awesome for trying.", "I went here a few months ago and totally forgot to Yelp about it! Good thing I have a pretty good memory when it comes to food :)\n\nI was craving some chicken strips like crazy a while back, so I stopped by O! on the way home from work. It was around 4:15, and the place was completely empty. It's in a quiet little strip mall on Page. \n\nThe place itself is beautifully decorated with lots of bright colors and plenty of seating. There was even a huge flatscreen on the wall if you decided to eat there. \n\nI opted for carryout. I ordered the 15 boneless strip combo, which allowed you to choose 3 O Flavors and 2 sides. I chose Thai Chili-Lime, Parmesan Garlic, and Bee-Bee-Q as my sauces. For the sides, I just went with a double order of waffle fries. \n\nEverything was quite tasty! The waffle fries were crispy and delicious. All three sauces were lovely, but I think the BBQ was my favorite. \n\nThe only downside? The chicken doesn't travel well. The bites in the car were tasty, but after a 20 minute car ride home, they weren't nearly as good (although Andy still loved them!). Another downside? The crust of the chicken kinda separates from the meat; it's hard to explain, so think of it this way: you know when you bite into a (bad) onion ring, and the onion slides out, leaving the sad breading shell behind? That's what this chicken did. It was kind of off-putting.\n\nAnyway, the food was not bad. I don't know if I would drive out of my way to come back, but I wouldn't object if Andy wanted to visit again. \n\nI really hope this place makes it; the empty restaurant, paired with the low visibility doesn't give me much hope for the long term viability of this business. Let's hope I'm wrong!", "I was craving for some wings and looked this place up on Yelp. It is near my work so went in was I surprised. The menu was unique and looked to have an Asian twist. I tried the Thai-Lime and Parm Cheese. I loved them!. The owner also gave us some samples of his own original wing sauce. It was great. We invited our friends and they met us there. The place is decorated with art that is cool and modern. The owner told me he actually painted those himself. He said he is an artist but it doesn't make money so he opened a wings joint. Cool place to hang out and wings are just the right amount of crispy.", "I'm not a typical wing person for the most part. I like them, but I don't love them. This place TOTALLY blew my mind! O! Wing's offers a great variety of flavors for wing sauces ranging from your typical buffalo sauce to their original sauce which is sweet and a bit spicy. The O's original is definitely my favorite.\n\nAlthough I don't eat wings that often, I know what qualities a good wing should have. A wing should be crispy on the outside, full of flavor, and the chicken should be nice and moist. This is exactly what their wings have! Biting into a wing gives you the crispy texture and delicious flavor and then you get the moistness of the chicken!\n\nSince I've been here several times already, I've also tried the chicken caesar wrap, the bulgogi salad, and their waffle fries! All of which met my standards and exceeded. The fries have a great flavor and are super crispy!\n\nI would highly recommend this place to everyone especially if you are a wing person!", "This place is awesome, the best wings in the area. Family owned and operated, clean, friendly, I have not had anything there I did not like. The garlic parmesian wings are to die for, the cole slaw is awesome, and the sweet potato fries are unbelievable. Seriously good food, you have to try it. They have a good variety of items, something for everyone. \nSo delicious, really, I almost don't want the word to get out because it will get too crowded.", "uhm awesomely WING-ASMIC!!!", "When we pulled into the parking lot, my dining companion immediately said \"Looks like a wingstop\". After walking in and seeing the menu, I had to agree. Similar concept. I was amused to see random menu items like crab rangoon, fried pickles and Korean beef tacos on a wing menu.\n\nI decided to order the same meal as I would at Wingstop to compare. Parmesan garlic wings with fries and ranch dressing. The combo was $6.99, and an extra 70 cents or so for a large ranch dressing (bummer to charge extra for it!). Dinner companion (DC) ordered the chicken strips in the Hot Mama! sauce, with mashed potato.\n\nThe wings took 10 minutes to cook, and when they came out they looked pretty tempting. Big pieces of parmesan, but not drowning in sauce. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just like they should be. The size of the wings varied pretty widely. I had a 5 piece and 3 were what I'd consider normal while 2 were considerably smaller. I was pretty disappointed with the taste though. They weren't very flavorful. Not much garlic at all, and I love garlic. The fries were just plain fries with some seasoned salt.. not the magical awesomeness of Wingstop fries. \n\nDC was kind enough to let me try his boneless wings (a rarity, to talk him into sharing!!) They were strangely thin pieces of chicken, in almost a tempura type batter. Bonus points for that, since most breaded tenders are overwhelmingly breaded. The Hot Mama! sauce was pretty good, started out with a sweet honey taste and quickly transitioned over to a heat. Too spicy for me (I'm a total spice wimp) but a tasty few bites.\n\nOverall, DC and I agreed we still like Wingstop better for now. I'll go back, because a) it's so much closer, b) I have a thing for fried pickles and c) i want to try out the Thai chili lime flavor.", "Stopped here for lunch and it was amazing!

They own Stella Blu and Bella Luna Pizza not even a block away. But, to me, this is their best. The place is small. It has a bar on the left side and formal dining room on the right side. It's a cozy place with eclectic décor. It does get super busy so I would recommend going early on a weekend or just go on a week night. Lunch is even more perfect since their specialties are cheaper! The menu could be larger, but once you try the lobster mac and cheese or risotto, you won't care.", "Lobster mac & cheese is truly an amazing thing. \n\nGreat happy hour specials. People that go there all the time just call it the Gypsy, and there's tons of people that fall into that category. There are a ton of regulars, which adds a great vibe, and it's overall very inviting. The Happy Hour is cool - $5 appetizers & $5 select martinis, $4 house wine.\n\nSo, yep, that's the right combo for an easy 4 stars and plenty of repeat visits in my book. Plus, the other menu items have always been really tasty and well prepared, and overall the menu is very diverse Americana with lots of specials.", "This place used to be great. It's a very inviting, cozy spot filled with regulars. The problem is if you are not one of those regulars, the service you receive will suffer. On our last visit, we were largely ignored due to the couple that arrived right after us. The entire staff proceeded to fawn all over them (the chef himself even came out) while we were unable to get someone to bring us glasses of water and menus. Despite arriving earlier, we had yet to receive our entrees by the time the VIP couple left the building. This is not the only time I've experienced an incident like this at Gypsy. The food has shrunk in portion size and the quality has declined over the past year while the prices have continued to rise. I am done giving this place a chance to redeem it's former glory.", "I live in the city and rarely get to the suburbs for dinner, but a friend had recommended this place, so a quick train ride later, myself and three friends were dining at Gypsy. After a short wait for our table (while we had a drink at the really cute bar stocked with fun local folks) we were sat in the eclectic dining room. The place is smallish, but we still had plenty of room at our table for our puffy winter coats, purses, wine, and lots of food. The ambiance is relaxed with great mood lighting. The service and the food were both terrific and well priced. The chef was very creative with his selections, which paid off in four really full, but deliciously happy customers. We will certainly go back again!", "Don't know why I bothered, service is still horrible. Uggh.", "Such a cute place with good food and good service!!! Great atmosphere for a date.\n\nDef get the shrimp potstickers and calamari. Also they have good specials on beers and mixed drinks.", "I'm a former Y2K regular, so even though I live one block from Gypsy, I never gave it a fair chance in the two years I lived in West Conshy. Why pay too much when I can get loaded on $20, you know? That said, with my old \"home\" now defunct, my boyfriend and I have definitely found our new happy hour/ place to watch the Phillies. They have great drink specials; I'm not one for frou-frou girlie drinks but the pomtini does it's job well! They also have red zin, so that's an automatic plus for me. I'm not a beer drinker, but the boyfriend enjoys their revolving taps and the Gypsy seems to be doing a good job of keeping it local. Their calamari is awesome and I still need to try the lobster mac and cheese, though I hear it's like crack. We're drinkers, so even though my wallet may drain more than an evening at the Y2k, we always come home happy!" ]

[ "A pretty great hotel. It has a tower and then some outlying bungalows.\n\nStayed in the tower and all was pretty nice. The furninshings were great, and the supplied soap, etc. was great. I thought $5 for a small bottle of water out of the mini-bar was a bit excessive, but I guess that's what you get.\n\nWas there for the Bar Exam, so never had time for the breakfast. I understand that you can get a Continental Breakfast voucher at the front desk, or pay $17 for it if you don't. \n\nThe Internet access is supplied by T-mobile @ $10/day, which really pisses me off. Internet access should just be an amenity provided by a hotel, and not an additional item. This is why they get three stars.", "My husband and I decided to stay at the Grand Hyatt Hotel for our honeymoon. We had tried booking the room in person, but we were sent away with the direction to \"book online\". So we used a credit card to book the reservations online two weeks in advance. We had also specifically requested a room on the concierge floor with a king sized bed and noted that we would be arriving shortly after midnight. The online system positively confirmed the availability of what we had requested. \n\nWhen we arrived at the Hyatt to check in, the employee working at the desk immediately confirmed our reservations including our request for a room with a king sized bed. After a seemingly endless amount of typing on the hotel's computer, the employee informed us that the only rooms available on the concierge floor had double beds. \n\nUnder ordinary circumstances, I would have been totally hunky-dory with this situation; probably using the opportunity to snag a couple of complimentary cocktails in the lounge for our \"inconvenience\". However, my wedding night was NOT an ordinary circumstance... \n\nOne call to a manager and five minutes later, my new husband and I were led to the Presidential Suite located on the top floor (same floor as Armani's) of the Grand Hyatt. This suite had a kitchenette, bar, full dining room, sitting room (complete with baby grand piano), living room, office, marble walk-in shower, marble Jacuzzi bathtub, and even a half bath (for guests, I guess). Every room had a wall-to-wall / floor-to-ceiling view of Tampa Bay. Almost every room (including the bathrooms) had flat screen TV's, telephones, Bose surround sound system and granite surfaces. Oh yeah, it also had a lovely king sized bed. Absolutely lovely...\n\nOn our second night at the Hyatt we figured out why the room we had originality booked hadn't been available: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars that weekend and apparently the Jaguars like king sized beds on the concierge floor, too. \n\nWe had a great time checking out the hotel, pigging out at the complimentary breakfast, and relaxing in the hot tub and pool. The concierge floor (which we had access to) was great to visit a couple times a day for a complimentary soda or bottle of water with a light snack. The evening appetizers and cocktails were fantastic, too. But really, the suite was so kick-ass we rarely wanted to leave it. We declined room services, preferring to order in pizza and wings instead. In fact, we were probably the least needy guests that had ever stayed in the Presidential Suite, although the turn down service that we had requested never came to pass on any of the nights that we were there. We also didn't receive the complementary breakfast the first morning because the desk clerk neglected to give us our vouchers. \n\nChecking out also proved to have its own issues since no one told us that we would have to bring the credit card that we had used to reserve the room. Although the hotel had all the cards information and approval, the desk employee claimed that they had \"to physically see\" the credit card. Another call to the manager and suddenly seeing the card was no longer an issue. \n\nAside from the manager's quick response to the potentially ugly situation that first night and the unexpected sumptuousness of the suite, I really wasn't totally impressed with the Grand Hyatt. It's a beautiful hotel and it has enjoyable amenities, but I felt as though there were one too many issues... mostly with booking, checking in and checking out. \n\nAt the End of the Day - I may not be as important as a professional football player, but I'm never afraid to ask for the Manager. I might look like a bitch, but I'm the bitch that ended up sleeping in the Presidential Suite... How do you like them apples, Mr. Important Football Player?", "Fair but tired. Pool was dirty, kids were loud in the restaurant and rooms need a facelift. Bed looked clean but you never know in hotels. Room was spacious but the whole place needs an overhaul. The pool in the back of the resort was boiling hot!", "not at all what i expected. needs some updating and repairs. close to ocean, which offers a great feel. but other than that, nothing spectacular and nothing to write home about", "Wanted to love it. Booked a room in the Casitas which was the way to go. The 300 sq foot room has a small patio that opens out to a grassy area and view of the Bay. There is no beach. A \"nature board walk\" that is not much really. \n\nThe restaurants are outstanding albiet pricey. I did have 2 good meals here. \n\nThe rooms are dated and in need of a facelift. Also the hotel is not walkable to any services or commercial areas. You must take a shuttle or cab everywhere. \n\nPlus very close to the airport . . which is also a minus - noise.", "Stayed here for a meeting last week. The room was comfy and clean. Nothing to complain about. The room service was also quick and good. The food was delicious for hotel food. \n\nOne warning, when you arrive at the airport call the hotel for pick up. Otherwise you have to take a cab which is a biatch. The hotel is so close the cab drivers don't want to take you and lose their spot in the line for a bigger fare. My ass wipe driver bitched the whole 5 minute drive to the hotel. \n\nGet a new job if you don't enjoy the one that you have.", "This is a beautiful hotel, and with that comes a beautiful (for them) price tag. But, since I travel so much and stay in a lot of hotels, there are certain things that irk me quite a bit in any hotel, no matter how beautiful it may be. \n\nLow water pressure all around, the sink, the toilet, the shower. The toilet didn't flush very well, and hot water, IF I could get it at all, took a long time to reach my room.\n\nHousekeeping left garbage in my room, empty cups on the nightstand, coffee wrappers by the coffee maker, and didn't replace soap in the bathroom.\n\nLastly, the parking structure was a complete afterthought. Maybe this was built with the intention of motivating you to use the valet service, but parking your own car is simply annoying here. First, they claim the parking stalls are numbered. What a mess that is, as there is no rhyme or reason to the numbering system. Secondly, you cannot get from the parking structure directly to the hotel, you must leave the parking structure outside, then re-enter the hotel at the front, then go to your room. I've never seen a hotel of this caliber not have the parking structure directly attached.\n\nI find these types of things very annoying when traveling, mainly because there is no reason for it. With a little more forethought and attention to detail, this hotel would have been much nicer and more in line with the price.", "This hotel is located right on Tampa Bay. The hotel is beautifully decorated. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. I didn't have any issues with the amenities in my room. The lounge downstairs was decent. I did find their drinks (crown and coke) on the weak side, but overall I was satisfied with my stay here.", "I would like to give 3.5 stars, as 3 isn't quite enough, but I wouldn't call it a 4 star hotel. The hotel was very pretty, with nice views over the bay. The staff was very friendly, offering unsolicited information about the area. \n\nI was at the hotel for a meeting. I would give the hotel food a 4 or even 5 stars. It was delicious. Meeting rooms were a comfortable temperature, which is something to be said as anyone who attended conferences.\n\nHere was the downside. The bathroom in my room was dirty. The bathtub looked as if it hadn't been cleaned well in awhile. Maybe the room needed an update, but yuch. The coffee/tea fixings were rather slim, which for the $ of the room seemed ridiculous. And I am always amazed, at this level of hotel, that you have to pay for internet. Really? \n\nThe other issue was the pick up from the airport, which was supposed to be every 30 minutes acc to the meeting planner. Not even close. When tried to call the hotel at the airport kiosk, then by cell, it said the phone number was not in working order. Forget to pay your phone bill Hyatt?\n\nSo, view, food, meeting rooms and (some) staff get 4-5 stars. Bathroom and the rest 0 stars.", "Hyatts don't own $4 bottles of water in the room (most classy hotels charge that) and nearly all the hotels I stay in (note, not motels) has friendly staff saying Hi all the time. It's a polite thing to do and this is one of the many hotels that has it down to a good art form. I especially loved that I was offered a bottle of water (free, mind you) on the van from the airport and again by a nice man in a suit while waiting in the lobby...but the best part was that he was without a tie. I loved that touch. \n\nThis is a very nice hotel. My short 13 hour stay was wasted on such a nice place. Wonderful artwork on the walls; nice carpet, mini fridges and comfy beds in the rooms; attractive lobby; wonderful setting; and a view of incoming aircraft!\n\nWhy did they lose a star? Well, for one, I shouldn't have to get on the floor under the desk in order to plug in my puter. Why this hotel doesn't have outlets on the desk or built into the desk lamp is a wonder. Also, our pre-arranged van back to the airport was nearly 10 minutes late." ]

[ "Really good Syrian food! Authentic taste, prices are on the lower end compared to other places in IV. Portions are fairly decent. If you're in the mood for Mediterranean food, this is the place to go!", "Apparently the place opened up last Wednesday (3/2/16). Some bike parking's on the left of the house-like building. \n\nThe food is Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern. I like to compare this to Aladdin Cafe nearby which serves similar items. Inside, there's a loud fan but there's outdoor seating as well.\n\nI got the Mini Plate Gyro, which came with one entree and two sides + rice and a big pita bread. It also comes with Tzatziki-esque sauce and some pepper sauce that wasn't that spicy. I got salad and hummus for the sides. I was surprised how much hummus they put in my plate; They put as much hummus by volume as my salad. The food came fast and fresh, I got to watch them grill the food which is nice. Portions were large and reasonable for $7.50. BRING CASH if you don't want to get CHARGED $0.50 on transactions. I haven't tried the Kebobs, but apparently it's 3-4 dollars cheaper here than Aladdin. \n\nAs for the taste, the gyros were tender and delicious but I wished they served more. The homemade hummus was good, albeit saltier than one you'd get at Trader Joes. The salad was average and it has no oil, but the rice was VERY moist, buttery and had just the right amount of garlic. The tzatziki sauce is alright, but it's not strong like the one at Santorini's Island Grill. I like how they give you a massive pita to wrap your food in as well. \n\nI guess my biggest issue was the amount of meat relative to the amount of rice given. I also felt like the salad was too plain and the hummus slightly on the salty side. I don't know about the pita bread, but I gave it to a friend and he said it was more like a tortilla. But the rest is great. \nOh, I like how a waiter comes up and delivers your food to your table. You don't see that too often in IV nowadays. Overall, I'd recommend.", "This is Lovin' Oven- they just renamed it. I've been here twice and I'm a big fan. You get A LOT of food for just $9. The wait is a little long ~20 mins because they actually fire up fresh meats and make it as people order. \n\nI've tried their chicken kabobs and beef kafta- you get rice, salad, hummus, and pita bread with it too. Again, A LOT of food for your money and DELICIOUS! I prefer this place over Aladdin anytime. \n\nDefinitely my place to go whenever I'm craving Mediterranean food in IV.", "This place gives you really big portions for the price. I got the regular plate with chicken kabob, gyros, salad, rice, and hummus. It was so delicious; I was raving about it as my bf and I ate and I'm pretty sure he was ready to leave me because I kept talking. Ha!!!\n\nThe employees/servers are super friendly. They won't mind if you don't know what some of the items on the menu are. In fact, they act perfectly happy to answer any questions\n\nThe wait time is a bit longer than most, but the food is worth it. I'd recommend not going here if you're in a hurry tho. Or to order ahead of time.\n\nThis is definitely going to be my go to spot if I'm not craving anything when going to IV.", "Bomb food, especially for the price. The owners and workers are super nice. Overall great place, definitely check it out.", "I've been looking for good falafel around IV/Goleta for awhile. I've tried Santorini Grill on campus, Aladdin Cafe and even tried the falafel at IV Deli and none of those places had anything special. Then, 805 Kebab opened & I decided to try it. Best decision ever. Not only is the falafel super delicious, but the portions are HUGE! You get a really good amount of food for a fair price. I've tried the falafel, hummus, pita bread and fries and everything has been pretty good. This is definitely my go-to place for yummy falafel! \nBtw, the wait is pretty long, but worth it IMO.", "Great service, great food, and reasonable prices. We were super happy with our visit! Get the beef kafta, chicken kabob, or steak kabob!! So gooooood!", "To begin, the service here was great. The owner, Sasha, works the register and is very nice. The food is fresh and they hook it up fat! You have to get the chicken kabob, super fire. The best part was the price. $9 and I couldn't finish it. Wayyyy cheaper than the other mediterranean place in IV. Will eat here again and often!", "Yo they should change their name to \"Straight Fire\". Good stuff, IV needed a new joint that actually puts in work.", "Yo!!!! Met Sasha the owner and she was completely welcoming. Not only that, but she Def comin through with mad hook ups. Only Mediterranean joint that is worth its price. Make sure you pick up the steak asdfghjkl; I got a mini plate which runs for like 6 bucks and I had to sit for a while b4 being able to walk again cause the plate was packed. Ain't nothing mini about the mini plate. Some say they call it the mini plate because it's the size of the both the ears of mini mouse combined. The mini plate made me feel mini. Yall remember when the ipad mini came out and people were like 'nah it ain't worth it' but then everyone was satisfied with it? Shits the same deal with the plate mini. Don't even get me started with large plate. I ate with my homies and haven't seen them since. Some say they still eating." ]

And the music is too loud!", "Tonight was one of Bar One's opening nights offering free apps, 10/21. It was crowded but that's expected when a bar is giving out free food. I was able to try their chicken and waffle, buffalo chicken pasta, lamb slider, and pork and Buffalo chicken spring rolls. They were all fabulous. The food is really amazing here. Think Bar food with a classy twist. They had live music (one guy with a guitar playing covers) which had a good vibe setting the mood all night. Their draught beer list comprises mainly of local craft brews. They had 4 big screen TVs showing the sports game. This is a new age neighborhood bar that I will definitely come back to. Definitely glad to see a new bar at this corner.", "This bar is an awesome addition to the neighborhood! I came here for the grand opening and I wasn't disappointed. They passed out free delicious food to everyone and the beer selection was awesome (especially if you're a local beer lover like myself). Everyone seemed to be having a fun time and the live music was a great addition. I can definitely see myself coming back here in the future.", "Writing this review before I've even left the restaurant because it's so amazing that I can't wait to do it! This place is a neighborhood gem and south philly is so lucky that it went in! Tonight was the grand opening and they passed around FREE appetizers! Who does that?! Amazing restaurants, that's who.

The menu and drinks are incredible and the staff is absolutely amazing - couldn't have had a better experience!", "Food here is AWESOME. Buffalo chicken egg rolls and lamb burger wrapped and prosciutto was unreal. Staff was really friendly. Great live music and hip atmosphere, definitely coming back!!", "There wasn't one dish that was anything short of phenomenal. You'll leave daydreaming of the cheesesteak mussels and lamb prosciutto burger for weeks. Amazing drinks & atmosphere and friendly staff will make this your new go-to local bar in South Philly. Truly deserves SIX stars.", "They renovated the space well. The lighting & atmosphere are much more inviting than they were in its previous iteration. The food was decent & plates were 1/2 off for happy hour. The server was attentive but didn't know anything about the beers on tap. And to read the draft list on the chalkboard we had to walk up to it bc it's unreadable from more than 3 ft away. They should consider putting drink prices on the menu. Overall, it's an ok new spot. I'll go back out of convenience but wouldn't seek it out.", "If you are ever in the South Philly area be sure to stop by this new bar-restaurant! It is amazing! The staff is incredible & music is great! let's not forget the food an Italian take on bar food that is to die for! cannoli pancakes , tiramisu French toast , lamb burger, scampi mussels were all out of this world!

[ "Well, I went here for dinner during that little monsoon we had last night and I liked it ok. They weren't really thrilled with my entrance, I assume this since they made it a point to turn all the \"OPEN\" signs off. \n\nThe food was marginal, and the service, well it was non-existent, the lady was clearly tired and wanted nothing to do with me. I had the club, which is stacked way to high to be edible. The ham is too salty and I don't know what kind of bread they use, but it was even salty, go figure. \n\nThe place used to be just a regular diner, if I recall correctly, but I could be wrong. Now it's a diner and a Mexican restaurant. Since my streak of luck lately with new Mexican joints hasn't been so good, I went with some more classic American fare. \n\nAll in all, it was ok. They are open late so the drunk factor would make it a lot better I think. \n\nOh, and the iced tea, was simply disgusting.", "Huh. I totally disagree with Byron--I love Biscuits! But then, I've only really experimented with the Mexican, which is good, or the titular biscuits, which are fabulous. Light, fluffy, with a delicious pork gravy--mmmm. They're everything biscuits are meant to be. Get a big ol' plate of them and get busy. \n\nFailing that, I recommend the lovely burrito. It is, indeed, lovely. However, this isn't the place to grab a light bite. This is seriously heavy, greasy, nasty (in that wonderful way) grub. And I've never found the staff to be rude at all--there's a really sweet waitress with colorful plastic jewelry and colorfully-dyed hair in here that I always love to see.", "Straight forward greasy spoon breakfast. Everything is simple and yummy. One of the few places in town I can find shredded hashbrowns.\n\nStaff is nice and prompt.", "Definitely a no frills kind of dining.\n\nI have been looking high and low for a \"go to\" breakfast joint. Grease spoon, high end, it don't matter to me, just give my breakfast. With a handful of places bookmarked, the wife and I made our way out to Broad Ripple.\n\nAMBIENCE- definitely seems to be more on the grease spoon diner kind of operation. This place was packed on Sunday morning literally. People barely have elbow room as they were sardined in there. What I thought was interesting also, was the type of people that were coming in and out. Yeah there were a bunch of college aged kids, but there were also families, and older folks. This seemed to be a local favorite, and outside of the location, I'm not quite sure why. \n\nSERVICE- our server was all business and not much else. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't rude, or inattentive, but the goal of this place seemed to be to get you in and out as quick as they can. And for as busy as they were, I didn't really blame her.\n\nMENU- as someone else pointed out, they've also adopted Mexican food to this place. So in addition to your typical diner food, they also had Mexican favorites. I wasn't too interested in them, as I just wanted my traditional breakfast. They had a number of different combos, of which I'm sure anyone can find something they're craving.\n\nFOOD- the wife ordered eggs, bacon, and hash browns, while I opted for the country fried steak and eggs. We also decided to split an order of hotcakes, which proved to be challenging (more on that in a second). Both of our orders came with biscuits and gravy. My wife opted for the traditional gravy while I elected go get the spicy gravy.\n\nWhen our food came out, the first thing that came to my mind was why is my gravy pink? I'm not sure what they put in it, but it tasted fine to me. Country fried steak wasn't the best I had, but it did the trick. My wife's order pretty much met her expectations as well. As for the pancakes, there was hardly any room on our table, no, there was NO room on our table for them. We had to rearrange quite a bit to make room for them. Though we ordered plain pancakes, they came out with chocolate chips, which certainly didn't hurt them.\n\nOVERALL- I'm not a huge fan of being rushed when I'm trying to enjoy my favorite meal. The food was decent, the prices are fair, but for me to drive out there just for that, I really didn't think it was worth it. People local to broad ripple, or in the area, rock out.\n\nCelebrity Rating- Jeff Daniels", "The most memorable thing about this greasy spoon is its ginormous plates. I recommend going here with three people to avoid getting a two-top, especially if you plan to order a side of anything. My companion and I ordered a short stack of pancakes on the side and had to play Tetris with condiments to get everything to fit on the table. And our plates were still hanging out over our laps. \n\nI love breakfast, I love diners, and Biscuits definitely serves up the right kind of food. I appreciated that the eggs were well done and the shredded hashbrowns were crispy. The coffee wasn't terrible. But the stackable chairs and the musical servers leached any real diner-y charm from my Biscuits experience. \n\nI plan to return to try some of their Mexican fare, probably after having a few drinks.", "Combine an American diner with a Mexican restaurant, and somehow you'll end up with Biscuits. Although the math doesn't add up, the namesake biscuits are still damn good. The menu focuses on breakfast with both the typical American options as well as some hearty Mexican flare. Popular after a night of heavy drinking in Broad Ripple\n\nReviews\nStephanie - Huevos Rancheros with Green Salsa.\nAmazing. Although we had confusion on my potatoes. Menu says rice and beans, ordered extra potatoes, and came to find out that meant I got potatoes for my entree as well as on the side. Good thing my dogs like potatoes.\n\nCale - Biscuit with Spicy Gravy, Hashbrowns, and a Pork Tenderloin Sandwich\nThe biscuits and gravy rocked - spicy, pink, and heavy. Excellent. Tenderloin was extra large and doused with mayanoise. I'll be able to bring half of it home. Mayonaise comes in a packet from some unknown company - this ain't no Hellman's. It does provide a nice lubricant for the breaded loin though.\n\n\nMark - Combo #3 - Cheese Omelet, Hashbrowns, Bacon\nThese may have been the best hasbrowns I've ever had - cooked long enough to give them that crunchy browness but still soft inside. The omlette was a a bit weak with cheese on overload that had already gone back to it's unmelted form. Bacon was cooked well and still soft. Just right.\n\nThe Meat of the Matter\nWould we go back?\nDefinitely. This is great hangover food.\n\nStaff:\n5 out 5. Always on it.\n\nOverall Rating:\n4 out 5. Cheap food with good people and an odd mix of a menu.", "I disagree with byron as well, sorry bud. My initial thought is who the heck orders a club at Biscuits? That's like ordering a cheese burger at a chinese joint. At any rate Biscuits is an amazing place not only for its delicious traditional mexican grub, but it's hilarious hungover clientele on Sunday mornings.....", "Love, love, love this place for no frills breakfast. Yes its small, yes the tables are too close together, but the food is great and the price is right. Drinks are kept filled. Laura the owner is friendly. The guys behind the counter keep the food cooking. This place is hopping on Sunday mornings. This is what you call a hole in the wall type place. Again no frills, dont expect carpet on the floors and a candle on the table.", "I love Biscuit! If you are looking for a variation on the typical breakfast eatery, Biscuit is the restaurant for you. They combine Mexican cuisine with typical breakfast fare.\n\nThe service is great. Rarely have we had to wait for a table and the wait staff is always refilling drinks, quick to take orders, and the food arrives quickly. \n\nThe serving sizes are plentiful -- the breakfast burritos are HUGE! Come with an empty stomach.\n\nThe prices are very affordable. Highly recommend Biscuit!", "I've been wanting to try this place for breakfast, but the hours have changed. I tend to go out walking early and Yelp has the hours posted as 6:00 a.m., but they do not open until 7:00 a.m., so today was my first opportunity to actually go in for breakfast after a couple of misses - timewise.\n\nI can see why they are opening later. Even at 7:00 a.m., I was the only patron. I asked the waitress for a recommendation of their breakfast specialties. She suggested the Breakfast Quesadilla. It was huge. I love mexican food for breakfast, so I ate the rice and beans and half the quesadilla. The other half will be for lunch :-)\n\nThe breakfast quesadilla has scrambled eggs with chorizo, home fried potatoes, cheese and what appeared to be enchilada sauce. It was very good. Lots of food for a fair price.\n\nI'm not much of a biscuits and gravy person, so I'm glad I read the reviews on Yelp before coming here. When I read that the food had a mexican flair, I decided to try it despite the name.\n\nI'm sure I'll be back since I like to support local businesses." ]

I couldn't wait to try it here in, my new home. \n\nThey just opened 4 days ago and I highly do recommend giving this place a try if you want something new or different... The customer service is awesome and the lady that works there is very welcoming! She puts a smile on my face . \n\nThey have sandwiches that are 12' -- you can order just the sandwich or a combo that includes a fountain drink and a side of chips.\n\n[ Breakdown ]\nCombos (depending what you get): $4.95-$6.65\nSingle 12' sandwich: $3.00 - $4.95\nThey also sell variates of spring rolls ( YUM )and have a section for Asian baked goods, smoothies, mocha freezes, and boba drinks!! \n\nMy order:\n- Grilled Beef Sandwich\n- Thai Tea w/ Boba\n- Spring Rolls \n= Deliciousness !!!! \n\n:] Hope you guys enjoy!", "I'd imagine that if most people were asked in what part of town they enjoy the cuisine the most, it would be downtown. But for me, my favorite area for food is on Orchard between Emerald and Franklin. Time to score another one for the area. Like Orient Market, Deli Baguette is just barely off of Orchard (on Franklin), but close enough to merit inclusion for what I consider my favorite area for food.\n\nThe food in itself is not eyebrow-raising spectacular, but the basis for the recommendation comes in creating baguette sandwiches that are both solid and unique to the area. These are not your normal submarine sandwiches, offering options like daikon, pate, and cilantro on freshly-made baguettes (via the Orient Market) that create a somewhat different and French-inspired taste to the palate. I had the house special for my first sandwich (when it was being served over at the Orient Market), and I was hooked on my first try. As has been noted already, these sandwiches are butt cheap. $3.25 for the house special.\n\nDon't bother with the combo to get a soda and chips. You're not at Subway, and you can get that option everywhere else. I liked the pork and shrimp spring rolls (which for some reason are not on the big menu behind the counter) and the pork-filled pastries, but be prepared to wait longer if none are premade. And Hallelujah-- another place here sells boba tea now! The selection is nowhere near as varied as Yokozuna Teriyaki, but you do get better value for what is offered.\n\nWhen I've visited, the place has been at best moderately busy. As a result, things have gone quite slow. As it's still relatively new, it's hard to say if it's because of them still figuring things out or being understaffed and overwhelmed. Also somewhat odd is that you aren't asked if the food is to be eaten there or not. Seems like a bit of a waste if I'm sitting at a table and am handed my food in a plastic bag when I don't need one. Tell them you're eating there if you aren't asked. And they should invest in some trays-- it'll keep the tables cleaner too.\n\nThey started offering pho, but I didn't like it.\n\nCongrats to the owners for bringing something different to the area and not just opening up some other standard Vietnamese joint.", "Hey kids, did you know that Vietnam was colonized by the French? And when the Vietnamese wanted independence the US supported the French who were still clinging to colonialism even after WWII. So the people seeking independence, the Viet Minh, got the backing of the commie people in China and anyone who was Catholic or liked to eat French bread went south or eventually moved to the US. Just kidding, the commie people like French bread too. \n\nAnd who wouldn't love baguettes? Crusty, chewy, great for sandwiches. Just slap some pate on there along with some chili peppers, cilantro, pork products you have a masterpiece. What kind of creole fusion cuisine is this? It's the taste of two great culinary cultures in a mash-up.\n\nI've never been to the Vietnamese markets in California so it was a treat to have this place open up in Boise. The bread is baked at the Orient Market and it is excellent. I'm hooked on the house special with the pate and the jalapenos. Kids might want to skip the hot peppers. \nMy daughter wanted to know why the menu said the sandwiches come with \"egg mayo\". Cuz dat's what mayo is, kido - an egg and lemon juice colloid.\n\nThe BBQ pork is tasty. The chicken is so so. I have got to try the Cajun shrimp. \n\nSpeaking of Cajun - the last time I had a beignet like they serve here I was in New Orleans at Cafe du Monde. ;-) actually these are kind of leathery and oily. Kind of reminds me of the Fusion Asian Grill / Krispy Kreme combo out in Meridian. \n\nSo raise a glass of boba tea (the thai tea is my fav) and celebrate mixing things up.", "This place is fantastic. There is a franchise like this in California called \"Lee's\" and I've wanted something similar in Boise ever since i had Lee's. The staff was very friendly and wanted to make sure everything was perfect. They sandwiches are fantastic and dirt cheap. They were out of boba when I was there, but the milk tea was still fantastic. It is an odd location, and seems like it would be much better off somewhere like bodo or around 8th st.", "In my last weeks here, I wanted to try out a few more places in the area. I decided I wanted a Vietnamese Sandwich today after not getting one last time I was near a Lee's in SF...\n\nI came across the reviews for this place after looking for a good Pho place last week. Came here for lunch today and I gotta say it wasn't too bad. I got the sandwich alone. Who eats Vietnamese sandwiches with chips and a soda? I dunno... I usually eat the sandwich and get spring rolls... which was exactly my order.\n\nHouse Combo Sandwich - 4 stars - They got the flavors spot on. Felt like getting a good ol' sandwich back home. Not bad for $3.25 either - the ones at home are $2.50, but who can complain. The meats were great, the daikon and carrots were a little thin, but added the right flavors and crunch. The baguette was pretty good, too. \n\nSpring Rolls - 2 stars - Very disappointing. They looked good, but as soon as I unwrapped the package and checked out the sauce, I noticed it wasn't the stuff I was used to. I usually get a more peanut based sauce to go with spring rolls. \"Oh well,\" I thought, \"Maybe they taste better with this sauce...\" - Unfortunately, no. My first bite was sauceless just to check the composition of the rolls - they weren't wrapped tightly enough and everything inside was a bit loose and not flavorful at all. The shrimp in particular was extremely bland. The next bite with the sauce didn't really help things. Too bad =/\n\nThis is a good place to get a cheap sandwich - I'd avoid the spring rolls. Still, their spring rolls are better than most of the \"fresh rolls\" I've been getting in the Boise area. There stars based on the average of the food I had. If based on the sandwich itself, I'd give the place a four.\n\nTotally agree with Vera M., though - Nice to know Boise is getting more diversity in food, though.", "I'll have to keep with my 3 star rating.\n\nI got the Cajun Shrimp sandwich this time just for a change of pace. You get your standard pickled veggies, jalapenos, great baguette and spread. The shrimp, however, weren't all that great. You barely get one per bite and the shrimp were tiny (check out the pics).\n\nIf I'm ever around again, I'll drop by for a standard sandwich, though =P", "the sandwhiches and spring rolls are damn good, but -1 for ridiculously overpriced soda and 50cents for water? wtf. didnt try the blended drinks as i was super sad for spending 2 dollars for a soda that has 85 cent refills..\n\nbring your own soda and its golden.\n\n-dave", "I didn't expect that a sandwich could capture the flavor of Vietnamese food, but had the House Special sandwich and it was GREAT. I esp. liked the crusty baguette --- such an improvement over the weak bread on offer at most sandwich shops! And it was cheap --- less than four bucks!", "Vegetarian deli meat?! Is there anywhere else in Idaho that serves this? There may only be one option, but it's not half bad and they're decent slices. \n\nTheir baguette is nice and crusty but soft in the center, so it's not too dense or chewy. I don't think I'd use it just for cheese given those qualities, but it makes an awesome sandwich. The Thai boba tea wasn't my thing; too sweet. They probably made it right and I just don't like Thai Tea, but I found the milk tea much better.\n\nI think we confused the poor lady at the counter asking about the meat content of the spring rolls that were sitting there already made, so we dropped it and didn't end up trying any. Either way, the sandwich alone is enough to keep us coming back!\n\n*Update* \n+ They will make up fresh spring rolls for you with only the veg meat and/or shrimp, so veg- and pesc-etarian rolls are an option. They come with a dark peanut sauce.\n+ One earlier reviewer was unhappy with the Cajun shrimp sandwich's shrimp content; we tried one recently and it was pretty packed with shrimp. Improvement or inconsistency? I'm not sure.", "Delicious and cheap. I have yet to try a sandwich I did not love. (Yes, I love you #1, and you too #3). The bread is great and everything between the bread is great. I enjoy trying the drinks from the cooler but I like the coffee best. As far as I know this is the only place in Boise to get beignets, and if I that is true, then they are definitely the best in town." ]

[ "If you're looking for great Tex-Mex at a reasonable price, then Superior Grill is worth a visit. The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful. The prices are reasonable, portions are generous, the wait staff is friendly, and there's always a bustling crowd.\n\nPopular with college students and Uptown families, the wait can be long on weekend evenings, but it's well worth the wait. This has become one of my regular haunts as it is located just down the street from my building.\n\nTry the Shredded Pork Enchiladas or the Superior combo for a big hearty dinner. And don't forget the margarita!", "I went here last night with a couple of work friends. It got off to a shaky start when they bumped two other groups of 3 in front of us, (when we raised the issue they seated us immediately) but as soon as we tasted that queso appetizer and the strawberry margaritas, all was forgiven. \n\nThe drinks were strong and tasty, which is a refreshing change for strawberry margaritas - oftentimes they're too sweet without enough kick. So the drinks were great, and the food was delivered at somewhat of a slower pace, but it was really good when it arrived. I had the shrimp and chicken fajitas, which were tasty (and appeared to be pretty healthy, by New Orleans standards), though the additional tortilla soup they brought me went to waste. (It was a lot of food, but the soup also tasted like regular tomato soup, so I didn't bother trying to eat much of it.) \n\nThe entrees ranged in price, but in general were decently middle of the road. My co-worker actually ordered the half-order of the quesadilla appetizer, and it was pretty large but still under $10. You can get a good meal for not much money here, if you try.", "I hate to be Debby Downer here, but I have several complaints about Superior Grill. First, their Cinco de Mayo celebration was overcrowded and so disorganized compared to Vera Cruz's, who at least had an organized buffet table outside. Instead here, I was only able to snag some tortilla chips...wooo, despite my ravenous hunger. I also find Superior Grill's margaritas watery. It is not a good drink if one feels like they are just drinking straight hard liquor. Gross. And \"Superior\" Grill's food is mediocre at best. When in college and my standards for meals were lower, it was fine, but I am not impressed. At all. Call it Shitty Grill, instead. For real.", "The best Tex Mex I've had in New Orleans. Was a lot of fun, the food is good as are the margaritas. I thought the Margaritas were a bit pricey though.", "I only went to this place because it was right down the block from my hotel.\n\nIt was clean, and the food was ehh ok. But what gives this place my 3stars is the helpful, funny, friendly as hell staff. Maybe is cuz im from New York, maybe cuz im kind of a bitch. But this whole city is so friendly!\n\nThis place had a family vibe about it, it seemed like everyone there knew each other. I liked it, the food could be better, and the drinks could be stronger. But the people make this place", "Yum-O! I loved this place. I was in New Orleans for a work thing and wanted a nice lunch even though I was by myself and after trying to find a place with more traditional New Orleans cuisine, I ended up here, which is like tex-mex. I had these fajitas that were just so good. The steak was tender and rich, just really excellent and the service was great too. I sat in the bar, but the bartender was fast and when I needed to take about half of my meal with me he included all of the to-go trimmings, salsa, plastic-wear, everything, I will definitely go back next time I'm in NO.", "This is okay. It's in a great area and has a great dining area with a fun bar, lots of people and activity, and just an all-around good vibe. But the food is lackluster and I can't get over that. Each time I'm sorely disappointed and say, \"I can't believe I spent ____ on ____.\" \n\nIf you're in the mood for a margarita and to watch a game, take a chance and have some chips and salsa. That you have to pay for. Why do they make you pay for chips and salsa? I know this isn't the only place that does this, but I find it annoying.\n\nIf you want a good mexican dinner make your way elsewhere.", "My favorite place for mexican in New Orleans. Its a bit on the high priced side but the best in the city. Some say Juans....yeah, it is good but I prefer atmosphere at Superior, plus you get free chips and salsa at Superior.\n\nGet the Superior Burrito!", "Way better atmosphere than Juans (mexican in NOLA is limited), but there is almost always a crazy wait since its on St Charles and touristy (and also a local favorite). The margaritas are not all theyre cracked up to be--they use cheap jose, so youre guaranteed heartburn, and they cost a fortune (and ive yet to get drunk off one, even a double...hmm..in new orleans??). The superior burrito is awesome, and unlike juans they dont charge for refills of chips and salsa. Do be prepared to wait a long time, especially on the weekends, and a LOT of children/families who will maul you if you wait inside on the benches....", "One of the better mexican places in NOLA, although it really is Tex-Mex, and not at all authentic.

I can't stress enough how amazing it is; from the food to the friendly service, it was a fantastic experience! The owners absolutely love what they do, it's a local family business, the food is AMAZING, the menu is extensive, and the prices are wonderful! The owner told us about all the items on the menu and how they take such care in preparing the food and using fresh items! You have to go see Uziel and have an xtreme taco (may I suggest the grouper - it's to die for)!!! This will be a regular spot for our family, FOR SURE!!!", "My go to taco place used to be California Tacos but that stuff is only good for feeding my dog now that I've had Xtreme Taco. Seriously, the fish taco here puts the one at California Tacos to shame. You gotta check out the stoned burrito man, this thing needs to be on a food show with an eating challenge. Good news, you've got a second meal. Bad news, you'll end up in a food coma if you eat the whole thing at once. Fresh ingredients including fresh tortillas gets this place three thumbs up. Keep up the xtremely awesome job!", "The best tacos I've had in Tampa by far. The owner's mother makes the tortillas from scratch, Uziel, the owner is so passionate about the ingredients he uses and their freshness.

We will b back to help support this local business for a number of reasons! Please go...now... I do believe parking will be a problem, however in the 33604 zip code it usually is!!! So just stay calm and know you are about to eat some of the best Mexican food in the area. Good luck to the owner and we will be regulars! They deliver too!!! Yelpers can thank me later :)", "We told them we are vegetarian and they quickly tell us all the different menu items we can try. Even with 4 dishes we ordered, we still have more things to try. I highly suggest the black bean taquitos, which are phenomenal! (Usually never comes vegetarian). Everyone has a big smile on their face and happy to have you in the restaurant. We will be coming back, often :)", "I was left speechless. Every bite brought back home to LA. I can't wait to come back! Their hospitality is top notch. They catered to every need I had. The tortillas are fresh and handmade. They even have elotes and agua de hibiscus!!! You can't anything like this anywhere else in Tampa, FL. I thoroughly enjoyed the tijuana tacos with shredded beef and sirloin steak. The sope, also handmade from scratch, was packed with carnitas, black beans (which are way better than pinto beans), pico de gallo, guacamole, and topped off with queso fresco. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. I can't wait to come back. I rode my bike from USF, and it only took 30 minutes. I'll totally be making that ride very often!!! XTREME TACOS IS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL!!!!! Moes, Chipotle, Tijuana Flats, and Capital Tacos doesn't even compare.", "First visit, truly fantastic!

Greko has it. seared Souvlaki, roasted Lamb, fresh salads, grilled Octopus, house prepared soup, fabulous fries.beer and wine. cool vibe & outdoors patio.", "My wife and I popped in on opening night and were very impressed. I had the delicious pork souvlaki, which was highly recommended by an employee when I asked what dish he was most proud of. He was right! It's so tender and tasty. The fries, with a mix of hard cheese and Greek herbs and spices sprinkled on top -- outstanding. Sipping a cold glass of white and eating this in the open air seating took me right back to some special moments I've had in Greece. There were a lot of people working opening night and it was a smooth, friendly operation. One extra nice touch is that employees come around to the tables to check on seated diners. After you get your food, and if you feel like having more wine, you can order by iPad without having to go back through the line. That was fantastic, especially when it was so busy. We felt like the price points for food and wine were just right. Two great meals, plus wife ordered a feta salad to sub for fries with her octopus, and a mid-level carafe of white totaled $45. One of the owners came by and introduced herself to us and several other tables, and we had a great conversation about Greek food, traveling in Crete, etc. It's a welcoming environment. It's casual, with interesting modern urban Athens-style graffiti art on the walls and Euro hip hop music setting the right vibe as background noise. The wine, the rolled up windows, open air, the smells and kitchen sounds and noise from the Main Street traffic ... it feels like a little slice of some parts of Greece in our East Nashville neighborhood. Can't wait to go back.", "Was very excited about this place opening, and subsequently disappointed upon eating here. Overpriced and overhyped.\n\nService was good, nice staff (almost 20 people working one shift it seemed ...)\n\nI got the lamb pita, which was very bland, not seasoned well (if at all...). Spicy feta dip was pretty good, even if pita was burnt. \n\nWhat else? Fries were over-salted. Lame graffiti art on walls. \n\nThis is indeed a far-cry from \"street-food\" as this bougie joint is branded. Street food has flavor and character, it's cheap and interesting. Greko has the pizzazz of putting some Sysco brand feta on a sandwich from Panera bread.\n\nShame, wanted to like this place.", "Love me some Greko! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is makes you feel like you are eating with the locals in Greece!\n\nTry the half chicken. It's awesome!\n\nWhat a great addition to East Nashville!", "Not sure how to review this place fairly. The effort on the part of the owners is top notch--love how the order process follows you to the table so any follow up dishes you might want don't require waiting in the front line again. However, the culinary execution failed somehow, or at least it fell strangely flat. While all the food we had (beef souvlaki, lamb pita, and grilled octopus) was decent, it definitely wasn't transcendent. It was just food. Also, the ubiquitous french fries were only semi-addictive as were a little dry. \n\nWhile this is maybe the best Greek food in Nashville, that in itself doesn't warrant 5 stars. What we concluded after eating all the food was, while Greko was \"okay\" there was nothing that we had that would draw us back.", "I drove passed this place before it opened with great anticipation of the food and finally it opened!! However I am sorely disappointed in the food...I ordered a chicken pita with Greek Street fries and since I love tzatziki sauce I ordered extra and that cost me a whopping $4.00 extra!!! I only agreed to get it just to see how spectacular it was...so the Greek Street fries I could have made at home...just plain fries with some crumbled feta cheese on top...if they really wanted to come with the fire they should do melted feta with some cilantro or other fresh herbs on top. The chicken was so bland (no flavor at all) and the tzatziki sauce was just mediocre....I was so so disappointed...the atmosphere is of a groovy kind but could stand an upgrade....I suggest just going to your local gyro spot and getting food because Greko is NOT the business!!", "Love this place! The atmosphere is great.. we sat outside on their \"patio\" and it was perfect for a chill summer night. The order system is easy and fluid.

[ "Great experience at the preview tonight with my mentor S!\n\nService was a bit slow but we expected there to be some kinks for them to work out, and they comped a round of drinks even though we were enjoying our conversation and didn't complain.\n\nThe bread service was biscuits with bacon butter and honey butter. The honey butter was very aromatic but neither S nor I could really taste the bacon in the bacon butter.\n\nWe started out with the conch croquettes and pig ears. Very generous portion of pig ears! The croquettes were good but we felt we could've used some more of the conch flavor and less cheese.\n\nNext we had the shrimp and tuna tartar. The shrimp required some work as they were served shell-on, but was definitely worth it. Very nice flavor and well cooked. The tuna was very nice as well. It was served with plantain chips, which were slightly spicy, and the spice went great with the tuna.\n\nFor our main course, we got the curried goat and the pasta with crawfish. Our sides were potatoes and semolina gnocchi with corn. S lived in the Cayman Islands for quite a few years and she approved of the flavor in the curried goat. The meat was so tender it was ridiculous. The pasta was light, not swimming in a creamy sauce. The noodles made me think of yakisoba. The corn and gnocchi was very good. Potatoes were also well cooked but we were so starched out by that point.\n\nI probably could've stopped eating there but we still has dessert. One look at the menu and you know I had to indulge. We ordered the horchata panna cotta and the banana/chocolate/hazelnut zeppole. The panna cotta was served with melon ice cream, which was perfect, and the zeppole was amazing. Probably my favorite thing from the meal, although there were many heavyweights throughout!\n\nI mentioned the service being slow, but other than that, we felt very welcome and all of our needs were met. The server was great, and we even got to meet Nina and Larry!\n\nAlso, those cute little cast-iron skillets!\n\nI'm excited to see this place do well. I'll be back to try more things!", "I went opening night. It seemed like a few small things needed to be hammered out but over all the food, drinks, and over all atmosphere was spot on. A little more salt here... A little more pepper there... I can't wait to go back and see how the restaurant evolves.", "Such an amazing experience. The atmosphere is so relaxed and refreshing. The server was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. The cocktails can stand on their own and definitely compliment the exotic yet familar menu. The Goat Curry and Conch brought me to St. Lucia, a beautiful island where I spent my honeymoon, and the Boiled Shrimp and Doberge cake brought me back home to New Orleans. I can't wait to visit this new yet familiar place again.\n\nMy suggestion is start off sharing a few small plates while touring the cocktail menu.\n\nWe had the pleasure to speak with Larry Miller. He was very appreciative and glowing with passion and fatherly pride. It was great to hear the love and respect they have for this great city.", "I had the pleasure of attending one of the preview dinners and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I have ever had from start to finish. I started with the conch fritters which transported me back to amazing times I have spent in the islands enjoying them. Next I had the beet salad which is getting overplayed in restaurants these days (even though I love it) but Nina put a different spin on it. Candied pistachios, ciabatta, and goat cheese mousse took this dish to another level. For my meal I had the picci with crawfish and squash, and while I normally don't love crawfish, Compere Lapin has officially changed my mind. For dessert I had the horchata panna cotta with melon salad and melon sorbet. The whole thing was perfection.", "For me long awaited and much anticipated and it exceeded expectations. I quit watching Top Chef after her season because of the obviously rigged ending. When I found out she was coming here it was very exciting. The cocktail list is so creative and will vemiently compete with the market here. The food was everything I expected from Chef Nina and more. The service was surprisingly smooth especially for a restaurant only open for over a week. Look out locals.....this one is a must dine and will easily be rotated into your go to places.", "My wife and I went to Compere Lapin last night. Been waiting for this to open since I was here last Nov on a film. We walked in, were greeted by very friendly people. Right away we loved the atmosphere and ambiance. We walked through the Restuarant paying attention to the noise level, which was good, as the acoustics seem to help buffer all the chat and laughter. The waiters were busy, the place was full, and the scent of delicious foods filled the place.\n\nStacey was waiting on us. She is lovely. We ordered drinks and then our food. The drinks took a bit of time to come out, but we knew the Restuarant had just opened and was figuring itself out still. Stacey then brought us these amazing biscuits, OMG, I could have eaten a basket of these. You get one per person, but then found out you can request more. Next time I want 100!\n\nFood came and the plates were a great portion. Not too much and not too little, just perfect. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing. We ordered the roasted potatoes, pasta with crawfish and the tuna tartar. All excellent!\n\nAt the end of our evening Larry Miller, one of the owners, came to make sure our experience was good. It was great! \n\nI highly recommend this resturant. Very nice evening and we plan on dining here as often as possible. Thanks for a lovely evening!", "Great food, really really great service and a nice fun atmosphere. First, the staff just made this a nice experience. They were excited and just a week or so after opening, things seem to be going smoothly, especially for a busy Saturday night. All the food was good, original, creative and flavorful. I head the Beef Duo and my favorite part was the fresh shaved Foie Gras added at the table that just melted over the perfectly cooked meat. We went for a round of starters before the meal and then after in lieu of dessert. A good choice as we got to try the shrimp/avocado ceviche like dish, Conq fritters, pigs ears and in house hogs head cheese. We also had the Goat Curry and the Whole Redfish special. OOOhh and to start the biscuits...I would buy them by the truckload along with the flavored butters. My cocktail, a piney Kefir lime vodka and beet juice combo with star anise, was my favorite cocktail experience. I'm excited to go back again soon.", "Pros\nGreat cocktails (Meyer cobbler was very refreshingly, lots of tequila cocktails)\nAuthentic Caribbean flavor (conch croquettes on point)\nGreat ambiance \n\nCons\nOver priced - esp for New Orleans and the portion sizes\nPortion sizes - this wouldn't really be a problem if they weren't so pricey (beware of the crudo appetizer and drum entree - very skimpy portions)\nWait staff were always in a rush to clear our plates even when we were obviously still eating\n\nOverall\nIt has potential but I think it's got a couple of significant tweeks to work out before I would recommend it again", "I was thoroughly disappointed with the food and service at Compere Lapin. Among all the recent openings in New Orleans, I was most excited to try this place. The chef here has trained with one of my favorite chef's Daniel Boulud (I read) & this restaurant was supposedly inspired by Scarpetta in Miami Beach, a restaurant I love. Needless to say, my expectations were high.\nHere's what was good: the atmosphere was great. The menu was interesting / different. The biscuit (complimentary) but I've never met a biscuit I didn't like. We also enjoyed the flavor of the croquettes, corn, & drum entree but they weren't impressive.\n\nWhat we did not like: The service. The service was awkward (at best) throughout the evening. There were several of us at the table, any time one person's dish looked like it might be close to empty, the staff would rush over to take plates from us all at different times. Additionally, they would attempt to take plates when we were still actively eating from them (fork in hand). It's unacceptable.\nThe portions/price. We are healthy, fit people who enjoy eating. I do not like to overeat or receive huge portions. We also frequently go to the higher end restaurants in NEw Orleans (and other cities). The portions here are extremely small and worse, far overpriced for what you get. The $15 snapper crudo looked like 4 anchovies covered in tapenade. And the corn appetizer was not even a full piece of corn. Although it was priced more reasonably, it's CORN! The portions were surprising. A few small plates, 1 entree and cocktails at this place ended up being $200 for 3 people. We actually left hungry. At nicer places in town, you can order the same number of dishes & leave satisfied, full & with a smaller bill.\n\nOnly because I respect the Daniel Boulud & really enjoy Scarpetta, I would consider going back in 6 months.", "It's been a while since I've tried somewhere new, so with a friend moving to Chicago, this was the perfect occasion. We decided on Compere Lapin, Nina Lacompe's new restaurant. Chef Lacompte is a recent runner up of Top Chef. Her background and influence is mostly Caribbean, so I was excited to try what I thought would be some interesting flavors. \n\nI wasn't disappointed.\n\nAtmosphere: A-\nI loved the atmosphere. Rich browns, interesting lighting, exposed brick. Had a prohibition era type feel to it. I did find it to get pretty loud at times. They should probably invest in some cushioning underneath the tables.\n\nService: B+\nThis is a tough one to rate. This is a new restaurant, and they're trying really hard to make you feel welcome, and give good service. The problem? They're trying just a little too hard. 3 different people came to our table 4 separate times to see how we were doing. This is in addition to the standard times where our waiter inquired when dropping things off or picking things up from our table. It was just too much, and felt overbearing. It seemed to occur each time we got deep into conversation. If they could just simmah down some with this, I could give an A on service. Our server Chris was really nice, and gave a great suggestion for an appetizer to share.\n\nDrinks: A\nThere is a great selection of craft cocktails if that's your jam. The prices range from $10-$14. I don't remember the name of the drink my friend ordered, but I tried it, and it was very tasty! I was in the mood for some summer bubbly, so I ordered a cava rose. It was very good.\n\nFood: A-\nThe food was really good. You're started off with 2 small homemade biscuits with honey, chive, and bacon butter. ZOMG! Sooo yummy! After our waiter saw how much we loved (and devoured them), he promptly brought us more! At the suggestion of our waiter, we started off sharing the smoked tuna tartare. It was fresh and delicious, and a perfect amount for sharing. We decided to share two entrees. We ordered the crawfish pasta and the curried goat with gnocchi. The crawfish pasta was good, but it wasn't great. I really prefer a cream type sauce with my pasta. It had a good amount of spice, was flavorful, and it was cooked right, it just wasn't something I'd order again. My friend really liked it. Now the curried goat was fantastic. I'm a sucker for curry, and this was no exception. Tender goat in a flavorful gravy with homemade gnocchi and topped with tomatoes and cilantro. I was slopping that up with mah biscuit. For dessert, the kitchen sent out a surprise complimentary dessert of horchatta panna cotta with berry sorbet over a graham cracker crust and all topped with an assortment of melon balls. It was light and flavorful, and the perfect end to a biscuit, pasta, and gnocchi meal.\n\nValue: B+\nThis place isn't cheap, but I didn't expect it to be either. I'm ok with higher prices if you're putting out quality food, which they are. My only complaint was that the entree portion sizes were a tad on the small size. Had I not had the biscuits, and shared an appetizer, I'm not sure the entree would've been sufficient, and I find it safe to say that it wouldn't have been sufficient for a man.\n\nI would absolutely recommend Compere Lapin for it's lovely atmosphere, and tasty food...especially if you're into curry. That goat..." ]

[ "(Full disclosure: We came by during a really crazy lunch rush, which Imo's was clearly unequipped to handle. The line went way out the door.)\n\nMy friend and I both ordered the $8.95 Lunch Special #1 (Imo's salad, 8\" 1-topping pizza, fountain drink... M-F 11am-2pm). It was downhill from there.\n\nMy friend had to flag someone down because his salad had been forgotten. (See photo for his pizza.) Somehow my lunch experience at Imo's was even worse...\n\nI was kept waiting long after many others finished their lunches, because my order was lost. Somewhat understandable because of the rush. After waiting patiently for some time, I asked a waiter and a cashier about my order, and they finally had the kitchen start on it.\n\nAt the one-hour (and three-soda) mark, the salad had come but still no pizza, and I needed to get going. I was ready to ask for a refund on the pizza, but it was finally almost ready for me to take to-go.\n\nLots of grated cheese (provel?) on the otherwise underwhelming Imo's Salad. The thin crust of the pizza seemed soggy; maybe a little undercooked because they were rushing my order? Possibly related: I had crazy diarrhea that entire afternoon.\n\nFood: 2 stars\nValue: 3 stars\nService: 1 star\n\nSummary: After a long wait... I had the number three. *rimshot*", "Hubbie had a meatball sandwich. I had a small pizza and salad. Salad was smothered (in what I swear was fake) cheese, his sandwich smothered in fake cheese.

It was mid-day, about 230p and I placed my order at the counter only to wait seriously, 35 minutes for an order of fried ravioli(I heard that it was what the St. Louis food) and a small thin crust pizza. Even after inquiring on my order, the servers told me it would be a few minutes. There must have only been 1 cook back there. \n\nFood: Fried Ravioli was so-so, in fact, almost salty and I don't think it was freshly made, possibly something frozen and then fried. The pizza, although I love thin crust, this thing had the cheese overflowing into the to-go box and it was SO salty. \n\nI know they have several locations and it could have been the staff but I'm not sure this is worth the trip, unless you're staying in the hotel and don't feel like venturing out.", "I had an average experience here. We were able to order sandwiches, beer and a small St. Louis Style pizza. Our visit was without issue or concern, but we didn't walk away feeling it was anything distinctive. Service was prompt and friendly.\n\nSandwiches were satisfactory and the pizza here is in the authentic regional style. ultra-thin with Provel cheese, party cut.\n\n\"OMG, fake cheese!\" It's Provel a St. Louis cultural oddity and key component the unique experience of eating one of these regional variations on pizza. They're not trying to pull one over on you. It's the way it's done in St. Louis, and the pizza here is a textbook example of what the style is.", "Pizza is overpriced and uses fake cheese - some sort of processed cheese. Easily the worst pizza I have ever eaten. I would not eat here again if I you paid me.", "Super crispy cracker crust. Gooey paste of \"cheese mixed in with a whole lot of oil, and a bit too much sauce. I've had a ton of different pizzas in all sorts of places over the US, and this is easily one of the worst ones I've had. Glad I tried it, but I won't be back. I also can't believe how expensive it was for such a thin pizza.", "Called to order pizza for carryout and use a coupon. Said they are \"not owned by imo's and do not honor coupons.\"\n\nAlso said I cannot use an Imo's gift card. Lame!", "Imagine saltine crackers, sauce, a little sugar, then lots of slices of velveeta and individual wrapped kraft American. Yuk! Beware advice from native st Louis folk!", "It's been over 16 years since I last lived in St. Louis, and I didn't remember there being an Imo's in near vicinity of Busch Stadium, but I'm sure glad there is now... \n\nI crave Imo's year-round, even though I live in the pizza mecca that is Chicago. My sister and I decided to make the last-minute trip to St. Louis to see Game 2 of the World Series, and after an unbelievably heartbreaking loss, we stumbled upon Imo's (!) and were able to grab a delicious large pepperoni here to go which helped ease our sorrows on the red-eye midnight drive back to Chicago. Thanks for being there for us in a time in need, Imo's. I love you.", "Probably the worst pizza I have ever had. I read the reviews, saw they were mixed and tried it anyway. Yuck! I agree with another reviewer, the cheese pizza tasted like Chef Boyardee on Soda Crackers. The staff was nice and friendly and the location convenient, but unless this exact type of pizza is your thing - skip it!" ]

[ "Brings me back to Harlem Ave. in Chicago when i was a little girl visiting the local Italian store and pasta house to stock up on supplies for a cousin's birthday or perhaps a wedding shower. Mazzaro's has different sections to it, and each section is just as important as the next. They have a dessert counter with fresh homemade cannoli's, and lots of other little desserts. The deli counter had meats, sandwiches, premade lasagna, etc. The winery is stocked to the brim, looks like you walked into the Soprano's wine cellar. There is another grocery section and then they have outdoor covered seating for you to enjoy your lunch and a fizzy drink. Totally wouldn't expect it to be there, but happy it is! I took my mom there and we had a great time discovering all it has to offer.", "I LOVE THIS PLACE. It is a foodie's dream come true. A bustling gourmet market with a strong Italian flair, although I have found curries, couscous, and much more. Basically, it is a market with lots of high end specialty ingredients but lots of cheaper stuff too. They have a deli counter where you can buy pre-prepared foods to take home or eat there. There is a coffee bar (they roast their own coffee-sssooooo good). They have expanded a room into a wine cellar with a very good selection of cheeses. And a bakery/gelato counter with sweets to die for. Like buttah!! Also a competent butcher's counter with good looking meats. Our favorite thing to do is Saturday lunch. Be prepared: it is going to be crowded. You will probably have to park in a neighboring lot but their traffic attendant (yes, you read it right) will guide you. Then elbow your way to the deli counter and order a sandwich and a couple sides. Awesome chicken parm. Plenty of sides but regulars in the know order the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes that sells so fast they sometimes don't even put it out front so only the locals know to ask for it. Then, if you have 2 or more in your party, get a coffee or soda and step outside to claim a table. You can pay for your food outside before you sit down. There is authentic Italian-American entertainment, some guy that does passable Sinatra, or sometimes a troupe fresh off the boat who doesn't speak a lick of English but can sing like there is no tomorrow. When lunch is over, head in to the pastries and get something sweet to go- you might need a nap first. I give it points for quality of food, ingredients that you can buy, and the atmosphere for sure.", "Mazaro's is a must-visit. The food at the deli is fresh and excellent, and reasonably priced. After ordering your sandwich and eating it outside, do not miss the desserts and coffee and bar, where you can get delicious gelato. I take myself to shop at the high-end market, full of imports and specialty Italian items, for a treat once in a while. They try their best to bring a bit of the Mediterranean to St. Petersburg and come pretty darn close. I recommend the fried spaghetti pie, which you can order heated and covered with marinara sauce from the deli counter.", "This place is amazing. Though it's out of the way, it appears to be packed almost all the time. There's a valet keeping an eye on the parking lot, for pete's sake.\n\nI'm fairly sure the only vegan items in the store are some of the coffees, beers and wines, but the selection's real good, so check it out... after you get paid or something.", "This place is AWESOME! The only bad thing is they aren't open very much. I feel like whenver I need them (evenings) they are closed.\nBut the precooked food is amazing and you could totally pass off as your own!", "Awesome Italian Imports - a bit pricey for me though!!\n When I first moved to the area, someone suggested this place.\nI purchased a case of wine that was on sale - 9 of the 12 bottles were spoiled.... \nDo NOT buy anything that is 'on sale' here - because it is likely spoiled.\n\nThank you Yelp! for providing a place to warn future customers!", "This is one of my favorite stores in the area. I could sit here all day talking about it, but you have to go for yourselves!! If you don't like crowds, don't go lunchtimes as it gets packed. Later in the afternoon is cool. Cheese, meat, wine, bread, olives and oil, the list goes on and on. Its not cheap, but there's Walmart if you want cheap, quality comes at a price I'm afraid!!", "You got to go. Best of everything italian and more. They bake, they roast coffee, they have a sandwich/hot entree counter, they make fresh pasta, they have cheeses, a butcher... not to be missed", "A great italian market. Lots to chooose from. Hard to find items are no issue here. It gets very crowded on the weekends so we go off hours. Meats and cheeses are always fresh and they have a nice slection of sauces and olvies you won't find anywhere else. You gotta try this place", "Mostly good, amazing foods at high prices, but sometimes worth it.\n\nI did buy fruit salad here once, and when I got home it was full of fresh ginger. Fresh ginger and fruit do not mix because every piece of fruit reaked of ginger - so all the delicious fruit was ruined and the flavor over powered. I brought back the container as I couldn't find the receipt. The cashier wouldn't let me talk to anyone, and was told that if I didn't like it, it was a matter of \"personal taste\", and that they had a policy of no refunds. Too bad such a bad policy in such an otherwise nice place." ]

(Try the Garlic Wings). Quesadillas, flat bread pizzas and other treats await you on the bar only menu but it runs till closing right along side the two for one mixed drinks and draft beers or wine.

The bottomless salad is good and rolls with cinnamon butter were outstanding. It was two for one beers before 6, so the waiter asked if I wanted the two beers separate or in one glass. He brought out a mug that probably weighed ten pounds.", "Cody's is a complete value proposition for me. The quantity of the food is substantial and the price very competitive, but the quality is definitely in line with the cost. Priding itself on being casual, right down to the peanut shells on the floor, the decor can be a bit cheesy. It reminded me of \"flair\" from Office Space for what it's worth. I would say that steak is the centerpiece of the menu and unfortunately it just lacked flavor. While they did a great job of preparing it medium-rare, the experience reminded me why it was only $20 vice a steak at Bern's for twice the cost.\n\nThe staff was very friendly and if I was in the area again and looking for quantity over quality, I would definitely go back.", "I hate the peanut shells all over the floor.

Our waiter stated he would try to find some; they do serve it with their wings, so it was a go! My son order the chicken parm, which was passable. It was large and had plenty of cheese but the sauce was bland. His pasta came with the same sauce. I tasted it and it tastes like it is a prepared sauce from a can.

I had previously been to the establishment 5 or 6 times for lunch/happy hour and the service was alright (still not great but much better than last night). We arrived at the restaurant around 6:30PM and the place had about 5 tables seated and about 4 people sitting at the bar, so it was pretty dead. That should mean quick well attended service. Not the case. The server took our drink orders and we ordered 2 orders of calamari as starters. She came back with the drinks and took our entrée orders. The kids ordered two kids meals and a sushi roll (sushi in an Italian restaurant?), my wife ordered an entrée off the menu, and I ordered one of the specials (crab ravioli w/lobster on top in a blush sauce). My wife's and my order both came with the choice of salad or soup. We both chose salad. So far so good. Well that is the last part that went normal. About 25 minutes after ordering, the kids entrees showed up at the table. The server never checked to see if we wanted refills on drinks ( we had to ask her). Also, we hadn't received any bread, which normally comes out right away there. So we reminded her about the calamari. She had a shocked look and then passed the blame asking \"she didn't bring it out? I thought she was going to get that for me.\" I don't know who \"she\" was, but my guess is she never put the ticket in. Still no salads yet either. Next the sushi and drink refills showed up. Still no calamari. After about 40 minutes after ordering, the calamari showed up and one salad. The waitress looked at us in astonishment when we asked where the other salad was and she didn't remember my wife asking for it. No adult entrees yet and the plates are piling up on the table, and she still didn't ask if anyone needed a refill on drinks. After almost an hour after ordering the food, the adult entrees came to the table. Still no salad for my wife. So we ask again about the salad and again the server looked dumbfounded by the question. The server heads back to the kitchen to get a salad FINALLY! As the server is getting the salad, I notice there is no lobster on top of the special that I ordered and then when I bite into the ravioli there is no crab meat. She brought me regular cheese ravioli in a blush sauce. When the server finally returned with the salad I showed her that my \"special\" was not what I ordered. She offered to get me a fresh plate, but I wasn't waiting another 45 minutes or more for that. I had her take it off the bill and sent the plate back. She apologized that she was \"flustered\" tonight. And hey I understand we have bad nights, but this was monumentally bad. In all the experience has just driven me away from Pasta Vino for good. By the way I still tipped 15% even though she didn't deserve it. Oh yeah forgot to mention it was my birthday dinner." ]

I had the St. Louis Quesadilla(Parm Tomato Sauce, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Provel, and Mozzarella) at first this in a quesadilla was throwing me off, but by the second quarter of the quesadilla I loved it. My girlfriend had the Buffalo(Wing Sauce, Chicken, Bacon, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack), I thought I would like this one more than mine at first and it was pretty good. The bacon mixed with a buffalo sandwich was a bit off as well. I ended up growing very fond of the one I had.

I would highly recommend this place.", "This place is awesome! \n\nIt puts a great twist on the Quesadilla. The \"Parma\" is great and the \"Cancun\" is good too...You can pick and choose, though. \n\nAlso- I believe that Monday-Friday after 8pm the quesadillas are all $5.00. And they are not small at all (poet!). \n\nDon't look forward the the guacamole (it's not bad-just not great) however feel free to look forward to the spinach artichoke dip!", "I love the Montreal quesadilla. Best time to show up is after 8 or on Sundays, when everything is only $5.", "One of my sons loves this place, so I get to sample the wares.\n\nOverall, I would say the quesadillas are much more quesadilla and much less filling. I prefer more filling, yet it's all still tasty.\n\nThe size of these quesadillas is monumental! I'd say one could serve at least two people!\n\nI've sampled:\n\nThe St. Louis ($7.49) -- Parmesan tomato sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, provel and Mozzarella cheeses on a tomato-basil tortilla.\n\nThe Texas ($7.49) -- Home-made smoky sweet barbeque sauce, red onions, grilled chicken, thick-cut bacon, cheddar and monterey jack cheeses on a flour tortilla.\n\nThe Italian ($7.49) -- Parmesan tomato sauce, red onions, red and green peppers, provel and Mozzarella cheeses on a tomato-basil tortilla.\n\nThe Parma ($7.49) -- Parmesan tomato sauce, grilled chicken, provel and Mozzarella cheeses on a flour tortilla.\n\nThe Bleachers 'Chos ($6.99) are really the king! Yea, I know, it's just nachos. But the four-cheese queso is stupendously fabulous, and I could drink it by the gallon!\n\nAlso, as others have said: after 8 p.m., everything's $5.", "Got more tastings tonight, as son-who-loves-quesadillas is home for spring break.\n\nThe St. Louis ($7.49) -- Parmesan tomato sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, provel and Mozzarella cheeses on a tomato-basil tortilla. Quite fine and filling. Had a couple bites.\n\nThe American ($8.89) -- Tomato tortilla, covered with Parmesan tomato sauce, pepperoni, bacon, sausage, Cheddar jack and provel. There's something just too sweet about this quesadilla. None of the fillings qualify for sweetness, so it must be the tomato tortilla. I do not like this sweet taste.\n\nAnd again, that four-cheese queso with fresh chips is irresistible and hauntingly addicting!\n\nI did get a salad that I didn't get to eat tonight, since I was tasting the quesadillas, and I can't wait for this one -- dressing's on the side, so it will save until tomorrow lunch: New Orleans ($7.29) -- blackened grilled chicken, pico de gallo, bacon, blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing.\n\nHere we go for the kicker: The Global Quesadilla has declared quesadillas to be Irish -- so on March 17, EVERY quesadilla, salad and wrap is $5 ALL DAY LONG!!", "Loved it! Historically, I am not a fan of quesadillas, so I was a little hesitant to try it. SO GOOD! Big portions, friendly staff, reasonable prices (my date bought mine, so REALLY reasonable for me! ha!), clean facility and good music. Yay!", "I'm not one that would ever order a quesadilla on a menu, but when I wandered by here, I was curious. How much can you do with a quesadilla? Even after I ordered the thai chicken quesadilla and my friend ordered a Cancun quesadilla, I wasn't expecting much. But the portions are huge, the food was much more flavorful than I had expected and my friend and I swapped portions of our meals. Their quesadilla was so different than mine, but just as delicious. This place deserves a try, even if you aren't a quesadilla fan. I bet you'll be back. I will.", "Such a wide variety of quesadillas that I would have never even thought of before. I have dined at Global Quesadilla a couple times, and each time have tried a different quesadilla and have yet to be disappointed. If you are in the area you should try their Sunday Happy Hour and enjoy a quesadilla for only $5, which is almost half off.", "Just as I was exhausting all of my lunchtime options in Hazelwood, BAM! I get a new job in Ballwin! I promise that's not the reason I changed companies. :)\n\nSo with my first week on the job comes lots of training (Zzzzzz) and new food options (exciting!) In typical foodie fashion, I scouted out nearby options with the help of Yelp!\n\nEnter The Global Quesadilla. Their online menu called to me with their wide variety of wraps, quesadillas, and more. Plus they offer delivery and online ordering! \n\nI needed to stretch my legs, so I put in my order online with plans to pick it up. Their online ordering module was easy peasy -- I chose what I wanted from the menu and the time that I wanted to pick it up. Super duper!\n\nI went with the Buffalo Chicken Wrap (all of the wraps can be made into quesadillas, and vice versa). Buffalo wing sauce, grilled chicken, bacon, cheddar and monterey jack on a flour tortilla? Yes please! \n\nMy order was ready when I walked in, which was nice. I'm not gonna lie -- I also got a strange sense of satisfaction when the 6 people waiting in line gave me the stink eye as I walked up, paid for my order and was on my merry way. Use da internetz, peeps! \n\nAnyway, the food was pretty good. It was tasty enough, but not anything mindblowing. It was also kind of on the expensive side (a wrap + a chocolate chip cookie = about 10 bucks!). \n\nHowever, given the close proximity of TGQ to my job, it's pretty much a given that I'll be back!", "I give this place a big \"meh\". Nothing wrong wit it, but nothing to write home about either.\n\nFirst the service. You'd think if you're the only person in the place on a Sunday afternoon the girl at the counter could make a token effort to be pleasant wouldn't you? Evidently not. She wasn't rude or anything but it wouldn't hurt her to have smiled.\n\nSecond the food. It's ok. Just ok. I'd say the Qudoba across the street is better. Only thing this place has over them is that if, for some reason, you decided to go to a quesadilla place for italian or oriental food, they have a couple of options for you. Forget, however, a side to go with that \"Far East\" quesadilla. Your options are chips with slasa, guaq,queso, or artichoke dip.\n\nThird, I just don't get the concept. Used to be someone came up with a fresh (if not new) idea and within no time 2 or 3 box stores had copied them. This and Cindy's Burgers seem to be the opposite. It's like \"hey lets copy the box store and see if we can make any money\". I guess this might be a good idea if what you did was take box store food out of mediocrity but how can an individual store compete with box stores if they can't even match the box store quality?\n\nThere is already a Qudoba or Chipotle on every street corner in STL. Why do we need another soso faux Mex choice. I'd recommend it if it's easier to turn into than the Qudoba across the street." ]

[ "I went to this new restaurant for dinner around 5:30 PM on May 29, their opening day. The restaurant is small, with about 10 tables. By the time we left, over half the tables were occupied.\n\nThe restaurant is owned by a family and it appeared as though all staff were members of the family. Everyone was very friendly and two people (the owners?) came by while we were eating to ask how the food was. \n\nWe tried (what I think) was all the meat options: beef brisket, turkey, pork and ribs. Al the meats were tender and smoky. We were surprised to find, however, that the turkey was our favourite of the group.\n\nThe restaurant offers a selection of sides including coleslaw, corn bread, beans and potato salad. I tried the coleslaw and corn bread. The coleslaw was good, but nothing special. The cornbread I found a bit dry.\n\nFor drinks, I was happy to see both sweet tea and unsweetened iced tea available, both made in house.\n\nFor my future visits, I look forward to trying some of the sandwich options. \n\nI recommend this new restaurant for others. It's nice to have another non-chain option in the Park.", "The smoked turkey is, as previously noted, quite good. The brisket was disappointing, as were the ribs -- there was no discernible taste of smoke in either. There was also no nice bark on the ribs. This isn't the southern barbecue with which I am familiar.\n\nThe amount of moisture in all three of the meats that I tried makes me wonder if the cooks are using more water in preparing them than might be advisable. Try the potato salad; it's very good.\n\nThe space is tidy and the owner is very friendly. It's nice to see another barbecue option in the Edmonton area.", "Wow! Some of the best barbeque experienced in the west. \nIt is a small cozy place - the service is fast and congenial. The staff really care that you have a great experience and a good meal. The menu is straight forward and uncomplicated.\nThe food; Beans are like home-made cowboy style, the coleslaw is excellent, the potato salad is divine...but the real meat of the story is the BBQ meats. Ribs are excellent, the turkey succulent, the brisket is killer! \nThe sauces are not overdone.\n\nThis is the real place for BBQ - not to be missed if you are in the Park!\n\nHard to describe...and the Edmonton area finally has a decent BBQ spot worth time and money!", "ribs are ok butneed to be cooked longer. i saw some bloody red parts. \nbbq sauce was great. i hope they sell them in bottle one day.\ncorn bread was great. tasty and moist.", "I called this place asking for their hours and was met quite rudely by a woman who answered the phone. Giving the benefit of the doubt I decided to try their bbq anyway. Once I arrived, my order was taken by a woman who seemed friendly and by the sounds of it was the same woman I spoke with on the phone. I thought, \"ahh one off thing\". I ordered ribs and brisket (the same I compare to all bbq places). The ribs were dry but had some flavour to it, but I did not want dry ribs. When I tried the brisket, I had never tried brisket that was this dry in my life. Their bbq sauce is what \"saved\" everything and made it palpable to eat. The highlight of this was their corn bread and beans, not the best I've had but it was definitely good. \n\nAfter much debate, I decided to try this place again a few weeks later. Sadly, nothing about the food has changed. I've been to many bbq houses that I've never once had a \"hit n miss\" let alone two misses. Sad to say, I do not foresee this business surviving once another comparable business arrives.", "This is a 5 star destination. We went to this out of the way joint a few times within a week. A rarity for us as we like to try new places, but it was so good we had to go back. And it was even better the second time!\n\nIt is in Sherwood Park but well worth the drive. That BBQ Place is a dine in/take out restaurant with ample seating for solo diners, or small familes and groups.\n\nThe facility is spotless, and the staff are exceedinly friendly and patient. The first time we went there we were deer in the headlights and the cashier was patient, helpful, and did not rush us or get impatient. The second time we had a different cashier and she was also extremely friendly. The staff are excellent and add to the great experience. They were awesome.\n\nThe first time we went there the food was aoh so good. When we got our HUGE portions, we were awestruck. And once we dived in, we were not disappointed. The pulled pork was delicious, the ribs were meaty and had a great smoky flavor, and the brisket was tasty and perfectly portioned. Between the two of us we had homemade potato salad, coleslaw, beans, and cornbread. Each platter we ordered came with a pickle slice, and a handful of potato chips.\n\nThe second time we went, we ordered the same thing and it was even BETTER! The brisket you could cut with a fork. A plastic one, at that. I could not believe how good it was. Best I have had. Ever. The ribs were similar. They fell right off the bone and were so tasty. And it was all perfectly cooked. Were the naysayers eating at the same place? Hello?\n\nThe staff actually came up and asked how everything was. Wow! Usually in a place like this they stay behind the counter, but all patrons were asked how things were and tables were cleaned promptly when customers were finished. \n\nWe also had the lemonade and the unsweetened iced tea which were both delicious as well.\n\nThis place was not packed, but very steady. Both times we were there there was a steady flow of customers coming through from construction type workers to families.\n\nAll the meats we ordered were definitely smoked. You could tell from the color of the ribs that they were smoked. And you could taste it. Both times we were there.\n\nWe are going to try a few other BBQ places in Edmonton, but for now That BBQ Place is our \"go to\" barbeque restaurant, and we will see how the others compare.\n\nPrices were more than reasonable for the quality of the food (it is homemade) and service was exemplary and quick. 5 stars well earned! Thanks for this wonderful place and we will be back soon!", "Was disappointed with the food, had the 3 meat combo with turkey, brisket and pulled pork, the turkey was the best and the other two were quite bland , and wasn't a fan of\nThe BBQ sauces either. I got the beans and cornbread has my sides, didn't like either.\n\nPlace was busy though and staff were friendly.", "Great customer service first of all! To the point were the Grill master comes around and visits with the customers, and is always willing to tell a story, and was very nice to our children! the BBQ sauces are excellent and you have to try the potatoe! It is a great place to eat if you are hungry and want great food fast!", "Prepare to be overwhelmed by the delicious smells the minute you walk in!\n\nIf you try nothing else, make sure you have some pulled potato! Very filling (my daughter and I will share one) gluten-free and delicious!\n\nThis is not fine-dining, so don't bother getting dressed up if you decide to eat in. They offer take-out so you can go home if you want to create some romance. Fairly basic, utilitarian tables and chairs with paper napkins and to-go glasses. \n\nYou order up at the counter and wait for your food. It won't take long and it will be soooo worth it!", "This was quite the experience! The portions are generous and has that mouth watering home cooked backyard BBQ taste. The meat was falling off the bones and filling my gullet. The Pit Beans is an absolute must. I will be back. If you haven't tried this place yet, change that immediately." ]

[ "Instead of rave about my favorite things at Mel's I believe that this brief story will explicate just how wonderful this establishment is. I work in manayunk and between the dozen or so people I work with we have ordered food from what must be nearly every restaurant in the area, we had our regular spots, some of which we really enjoyed, until the Mel's menu showed up in our mail. We received the menu approximately 9 months ago and literally (I mean it, this is NOT an exaggeration) ordered from them every single day since then. This is a full blown addiction. \nThey have daily soup specials which are consistently delicious and almost everything is home made. They roast their turkey and chicken in house and produce what is easily the finest turkey club I have ever had. There are not words to describe just how good Mel's is, but rest assured that if you live in the manayunk area and have not tried Mel's you seriously missing out. \nBesides, they're slogan is \"see the pig, eat the pig\". Need I say more?", "mel's is a good little diner with a comfortable feel, except when the cops are posted up there (no, mel doesn't serve donuts). i've been for breakfast twice now. it's been quick, tasty and relatively cheap. staff is friendly. will be back, but will check the parking lot first.", "The wife and I live just a few blocks away and have been wanting to check out mel's for a while now. I wish we didn't wait so long! I love the freshness of this place and can't wait to tryout more food this weekend!\n\nForgot to post this when I first made it in Feb! We've been back several times. We haven't had anything under a 5+ star rating. Mel's is fresh and delicious every time! burgers, pork, egg sandwich, chicken cutlet, the whole menu is great.", "Mel's Kitchen is a good place to have on your radar. Though it's not in a residential area, if you're in a car and are in the Roxborough/Manayunk area, def consider it fot a breakfast/lunch. It has a parking lot. I've had two variations of the roast pork sandwich, both of which were very tasty. The staff is friendly and they have a few tables both inside and outside. It kinda reminds me of a few extablishments on or near Delaware Avenue .... but it's more laid back. Put me down as a fan.", "I'd like to echo a previous reviewer's sentiment (I will come back later and properly cite him in MLA format) that I'm deeply sorrowed that it's taken me this long to try Mel's, even though I haven driven by it for a long time. I really think they have something special going here, at least for breakfast, which is what I ordered today. \n\nWe called in a pickup order for a couple of breakfast sandwiches, and they were superb. I can recommend the JC Special enough: bacon, egg, and cheese on your choice of french toast or waffles, with a little syrup (get the french toast, trust me). The Mel's Big Breakfast is also amazing. Eggs, cheese, choice of meat, and home fries on a Le Bus seeded long roll (yes, the home fries are in the sandwich). I paired this with a side order of the housemade roasted long hot peppers to make a delicious coronary precursor. \n\nEveryone inside was super nice, food was ready when I walked in (so I was in and out in no time), and food was packed nicely so it was still hot when I got home.\n\nGreat work all around, and I will def be back to try lunch.", "I've been coming here since they opened. The food is great and they use all fresh ingredients. Their burgers and cheese steaks are incredible. They use LeBus rolls. They have great weekly specials. The portions are all very large. I can't say enough about this place. It's a little off the beaten path, but if you're on\nUmbria st. you should check it out.", "This place is great. Everything we have ever had from here is delicious. The staff are very friendly. The prices are good. Nice, comfortable neighborhood place for breakfast or lunch.", "My wife and I went here after church one day for some breakfast - we'd driven by several times, but never stopped in! While it's rather small inside, we found a seat at the bar (no alcohol that I know of) - the place was packed, so it was a little hectic and I don't think the orders were 100% accurate. (seemed to be some newer kids working). However, the food was fabulous - everything was great! There was plenty of food and we left full. \n\nA few weeks later, my wife was in and asked about catering, which they do as well. We picked up three hoagie trays and a HUGE (I mean HUGEEEE) tray of potato salad - my wife said \"here's what we like\" and they made it. We had about 40 people over for the bike race and EVERYONE commented how good these were - we've gone elsewhere in the past for food, but not anymore - this is as good as it gets in Manayunk! You have to stop by!!", "I'd been looking for a convenient, reasonably priced, quick service place to stop for breakfast (or is it dinner?) after working overnights. Mel's Kitchen fits the bill.\n\nMel's is located in a small stand-alone building on Umbria St. Slightly dilapidated, it easily goes unnoticed unless you happen to know of it's existence (thanks to Yelp, of course). \n\nThe first time I went was around 8 am. I seated myself at one of 3 open tables (4 in total) and Mel herself came over and poured me a cup of coffee in a brightly colored mug. That was the first moment I started to fall in love with this place: Mel doesn't use those miniature white coffee mugs you see in most diners - these mugs are huge and look like she took them right out of her own personal kitchen. \n\nThe second thing that struck me was that there's Sriracha on every table. Mel's clearly knows the best breakfast condiment and doesn't make you request it.\n\nDespite my love of Sriracha I was craving something sweet, so I ordered the French toast and bacon (extra crispy). The kitchen is in the same room as the dining area so I was able to watch Mel happily work away on my food while she cooked a few breakfast sandwiches for the customers sitting at the bar right in front of the griddle. Clearly those patrons were regulars as they chatted about their kids' little league and the scorching hot weather.\n\nSoon my breakfast was delivered to me and oh my, was it delicious! The bacon was perfectly crispy and the French toast was delectable. The portion was quite large - 3 slices of toast and about 5 strips of bacon.\n\nI think my bill was about $8. Of course I didn't notice the large sign stating they take credit card for bills over $10 - so I threw in a Mel's Kitchen t-shirt (which is a really cute play off of the Hell's Kitchen logo).\n\nWith all the thoughtful touches and Mel's down to earth, amiable personality I truly felt at home here. I've since been back for take out breakfast sandwiches and I continue to be impressed by the service and food quality. This is now my favorite no-frills breakfast spot.", "Breakfast sandwich morning at work...it only happens once in a while but it is eagerly anticipated! Mel's Kitchen sets the gold standard for breakfast sandwiches. Soft fresh roll, 2 eggs and gooey cheese, crispy bacon, saltpepperketchup. I keep on trying to find reasons to return for more! My opinionated co-workers were also very pleased with their sandwiches, and especially liked the option of turkey sausage. The breakfast menu goes beyond the sandwiches, and the lunch menu looks good too." ]

It is one of the newer Paneras in Nashville and has a better layout and bountiful plugs for smartphone charging before departure. The counter staff was even sharper at checkout than some other Paneras I have enjoyed and the line moved quickly. Before a power meeting I like the veggie Power Breakfast Sandwich of spinach, avocado, tomato and egg white on a sprouted-grain bagel.", "My husband and I love Panera, and we were super excited when this one opened up! A drive thru? YES! However the love has worn off because they never have anything! They are always out of either the soup we want or the baguettes, or the bread for one of our sandwiches. It's even worse because if you change your mind and decide not to order (because they have nothing) you can't get out of the drive thru! You are blocked in! So Panera would get 5 stars but this one not so much.", "I'm reposting my review from Google +! Hopefully the folks at Panera will read it!!\n\n\"If I could give this location a BIG FAT NEGATIVE STAR, zero, etc., I would!! I have been to this location 3 times since it's opened and have yet to be able to order any food. First of all, the drive-thru is created in such a way that once you pull in, you cannot leave the line. You will have to back out if no one is behind you. Why is that important? Well, because two out of my three visits I've stopped at this Panera to order a PLAIN BAGEL at approximately 8:15 am (breakfast time); either they did not have any bagels at all (Bread Company...yeah right) or did not have plain ones. The first time this happened, I was able to back out of the drive-thru without having to wait in line behind the other cars. Well, today, I had to wait over 15 minutes in line behind other cars without even having placed an order because I was stuck. (eg. 2 visits, no food). On another visit to this location (during lunch time), I was in line for 10 minutes and was still 3 cars back before I would have reached the order speaker. Fortunately, the car behind me backed out so I was able to back out as well. No one has 20-30 minutes to wait in line for a simple soup or sandwich on their lunch break!\n\nThis location already needs a new staff and a remodel!!!\"", "Was stoked for this location to open considering Donelson has such limited options in this price range that aren't fast food. Seemed to be hyped up as they trained the staff for weeks before opening. \n\nI have worked in foodservice my whole life since I was 17 and have never seen such a unprofessional operation. Its simply mind boggling to me that places can be out of nearly half of there menu daily. Also the management, bless there heart, is honestly either untrained or lacking in many departments. Also, waiting for food and hearing young employees discussing there recreational drug use from the previous night is not something I think most hard working people want to hear about on there lunch break.", "Disclaimer; I've never written a review on Yelp. \nAfter a long day and bare cupboards, against my better judgement and gut instinct, I decided to drive-thru Panera for dinner, only to discover once I got it home THE most pathetic looking and tasting Turkey sandwich ever made. No cheese. No mayo/mustard~dry. Wilted lettuce. The hard inside cuts of a purple onion. Soggy tomato. Bread not toasted like I had requested, instead they stuck it in the panini press~not the same, this is what causes soggy tomatoes and wilted lettuce young teenage staff!! Obviously undertrained; THIS isn't just sandwich making 101, it's \"common sense!!\" \nSo, I spent the next 15 minutes in my kitchen, exactly what I was trying to avoid, re-making the $6 sandwich into one that was actually tasty and TOASTED. So, THIS is exactly why I wasn't excited to see Panera come to Donelson. In general I find Panera to be so disappointing in flavor and quality, yet their prices reflect that of a truly quality deli. \nAs I was sitting in my car waiting in the drive thru for my sandwich, again knowing I had probably made a bad call choosing Panera, I realized I was staring Sub Depot in the face. I then was kicking myself for forgetting about the local guy who has never disappointed me taste and price wise. \nNow, I'm kicking myself for spending an addition 15 to write a bad review on a corporate store who will not be affected by bad reviews on Yelp like the local guy would if his/her store put out such junk food as Panera does, because they are just that; a corporation.", "Never clean.

I sat on the bench for about 30 minutes before I thought about saying anything. The lady in the kitchen (Kacie) and the lady at the to go counter (KJ) were so accomodating in making it up to me. They were crazy busy and but stop to make sure I was happy. Thanks girls.", "This Panera brings great value to travelers using Nashville Airport. It's a mere three minute drive to the terminal and the only non-fast food, or greasy chain in the area where folks can grab something quick to bring with them on the plane rather than paying for poor-quality and overpriced items available in the terminal. While it might seem far fetched to some to come here with good service and better value it's a 10-minute side trip that's attractive to others. \n\nAs with all Panera's it's clean, prices are fair and there's free wifi, too. It's a great place to come kill a bit of time before a flight if you have it. Also, consider there's no risk of traffic between this location and the airport. No time on the interstate is required. Consider this next time you're coming to the airport and need a quick bite or a sandwich to bring along for the air time.", "So, apparently if you order a salad at the drive thru you should ASK for forks and napkins. Tried to use 2 potato chips as utensils, that was a no go. Don't ask questions about the menu, You'll get the eye roll. Besides all that the food was very good." ]

Now if all fast food had this mentality the world would be a better place!", "Quick service, friendly staff, and MAN-O-MAN do I LOVE the Chick-fil-a sauce. Chick-fil-a used to be my favorite fast food chicken sandwich, that was until I found PDQ! I still think Chick-fil-a is a good sandwich, don't get me wrong, but PDQ is probably twice as good, and it is definitely not twice the price.\n\nI still love the waffle fries and PDQ does not have Chick-fil-a sauce, but I am sure that I will be making less stops at Chick-fil-a now that I found PDQ.\n\nGrowing up in Michigan, we did not have Chick-fil-a. That being the case, I immediately became a fan upon moving to Florida. I have even gone so far as drawing cow spots on blank paper and taping them to by business suit to get my free chicken sandwich.\n\nI always go with the #1 and cover that baby in the Chick-fil-a sauce. I also give my fries a hefty dose of salt and pepper and then proceed to dip them in the Chick-fil-a sauce. I have it down to a science. I even started making my own fried chicken sandwiches at home and took steps to make them more Chick-fil-a-ish.\n\nNow that I found PDQ I have a huge internal conflict. I sure hope Chick-fil-a can drop the price of their #1 by a little bit, and then they may win my heart back, even though PDQ has a leg up on quality.", "Very fresh and fast and clean for a fast food place . They have a good chicken sandwich not a fan of the fries though.", "I'm a chick fil a fanatic. Although this one is not my usual stop, it's just as nice. \n\nNewly renovated with a double drive thru, I love to order their new cobb salad. I was so disappointed when they discontinued the southwest salad, but this one is equally as good. \n\nThe only negative is that the drive thru traffic gets pretty backed up, causing a bottle neck in the parking lot.", "I'm not a huge fan of Chick-fil-A, but I will say that they are always courteous, quick and the food is always good, if you order one of their value meals. You certianly can't beat the waffle cut fries or their grilled nuggets. Seriously, if you've not tried the grilled nuggets, do so, they're the tastiest thing on the menu!", "Love this place everything is good. The waffle fries rock and the spicy chicken sandwich it.", "Staff is always friendly. Food is always delicious. Sometimes the drive thru forgets some of my order, so I usually go in. They are great supporters of the local community!", "From the amazing food to their attentive staff- you forget you're eating fast food at Chic-Fil-A! This location is committed to their customers and community. Top-notch service and food. With the addition of the dual drive thru, wait time is cut down making it an enjoyable experience every time.", "I'm not really into the fast food scene BUT Chick fil A is a step above.

I will in a day or two. But for now, just go there. I highly recommend.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSTILL NO ONE HAS REVIEWED??!! Get on it yelp. Anyways my actually review. Real quick. Workers are super friendly and fairly fast. The woman was actually quite fetching if I do say so myself. But I digress. It's a food cart. No romantic setting. No candles. Tablecloth, not happening. BUT, the one item I got here was pretty freakin fabulous. The whole concept as best I can tell is like a Asian/Mexican fusion food truck. I got the chicken katsu sandwich. Brilliant. It's served on a great Vietnamese type long roll. The chicken is crusted and cooked in cap'n crunch cereal. It adds amazing texture and a fabulous sweetness to it. The whole thing is slathered with a nice Asian slaw with hints of cilantro. Then I believe there was a really nice spicy mayo type sauce to finish it. Simple and superb. I could definitely think of a couple more ingredients to add to give the sandwich some more dimension, but really it would kinda be like looking at the Mona Lisa with 3D glasses on. These folks are the real deal. I will be returning.", "Went with a friend and got the chicken satay tacos. The staff was really friendly and the tacos were banging. Check it out if you're looking for good food at a great price near Drexel.", "Walked all the way there from 38th and Walnut and it was worth it! Tried the Satay Taco and the Thai Taco which were both awesome and had wonderful distinct flavors! The guy that works the window is also very friendly! Will definitely make the trek back soon. In terms of Asian fusion tacos...this place is far superior to Tyson's Bees.", "I've eaten here quite a few times now, and every time I have been extremely pleased with the service and quality. Today I ordered the sweet potato chicken curry with rice, and it was possibly the best food truck lunch I have ever had.\n\nRich and flavorful, but not oily or overly salty. A dish with a good level of spice, deep color, and eye pleasing presentation all served piping hot. I'm always surprised when I get gourmet food for 5$ in a back alley from a hand painted van.\n\nI got lucky, as my order of curry was the last one, so go early if you don't want to risk food selling out.\n\nAlso great - tilapia taco, fresh thai iced tea and coffee, and thai tacos\n\nPeople's choice award winner at this year's Phiadelphia Vendy's as well!", "Like David B, my first introduction to Cucina Zapata was also at the Vendy Awards. Curried chicken over rice hooked me in while mini tacos with chicken and short rib sealed the deal. It was one of the few trucks that day that kept the line moving quickly and was also prepared for the crowds. Even when an L&I inspector jumped aboard in the beginning of the event, causing everything to grind to a halt, the food truck peeps kept their cool and business was back up and running in no time. \n\nI'll definitely make a point to seek out Cucina Zapata for lunch in the near future!", "Cucina Zapata is the first food truck in the row of them across the parking lot from my office and I had always walked past it, not quite sure of its offerings. Not until I saw a friend's 4-exclamation-mark status for her lunch on Facebook, did I decide to give it a try. I was really missing out before!\n\nThe menu is a bit of a Thai/Mexican/Fillipino/Mid-Eastern fusion. My friend was all in love with the Thai Taco but my personal favorite is the Chicken Satay Taco. Peanut sauce chicken with avocado, tomato, lettuce and a spicy mayo sauce in a soft taco shell. I am getting hungry here just writing about it. And it only costs $5 for 2 overstuffed tacos. Think Imma go get 2 for lunch now!\n\nBTW, if you are like me who tend to eat lunch late after the lunch rush. Be prepared to have the popular items like the above mentioned two sold out by the time you get to the truck. ~heart break~\n\n\nps. just tried the Captain Crunch Tilapia taco seeing reviews from other reviewers. I am a little weary ordering seafood from a truck especially something fried. I survived unscathed and the fish taco was yummy!", "Friend told me about a new taco truck, and since it was only a few minutes from where we worked, I couldn't say no! While he raved about the chcken satay taco and the thai taco, I went with the chicken katsu. What a steal for $5! Lots of rice, and the chicken katsu has just enough of that famous brown sauce. Will definitely have to try the tacos next, and all their menu items. Yay for yummy food trucks!\n\nThey have thai iced tea....which I absolutely love!", "Went there with a friend/coworker Thursday before the Vendy Awards, after reading they were finalists.\n\nThe guy was super friendly - chatting about going to school at Drexel, asking how we found them, apologizing for the limited menu, as they needed to gear up for that Saturday's competition).\n\nLimited menu be damned - after having the short rib and chicken satay tacos, I can see why they won the people's choice! A great addition to the line of Drexel food trucks. I'll go back there... as soon as the crowds die down:P", "I've been to Cucina Zapata three different times now and each time I come away amazed! I've had the Cap'n Crunch Tilapia each time and it has been consistently delicious - well-cooked, enhanced just perfectly with Asian slaw and a mayo sauce with a ZING! After reading the reviews on this site, my next choice in the chicken satay taco. Well done, Cucina Zapata. You are a welcome addition to the Drexel 'Food Truck Row' and I will continue to frequent your business. HOW do they make such amazing food out of a TRUCK??? And - they are super-friendly to boot. I also caution readers to not wait until late in the day to grab your lunch - you may be disappointed as I have been a few times.", "Yes yes yes to Cucina Zapata. Really good food that you can't quite put your finger on exactly why you love it, but you do. Fresh, carefully prepared, well thought out dishes. I had one of each of the Thai Chicken Curry Taco and the Short Rib Taco. Preferred the ribs - more balanced flavors; the chicken seemed a bit confused with the thai peanut sauce plus the curry, but it was still really good. Definitely a steal at 2/$5. My friend got the Captain Crunch (whoda thunk it) Tilapia burrito and raved. 5 stars if the service was a little quicker and better organized." ]

It reminds me of a family style Italian restaurant minus the family part.", "This restaurant is an original Tucson gem and continues to be very consistantly good. My father told me you will see the owners at a good restaurant every night, standing where they can monitor the food coming out of the kitchen.\n\nWhile I wouldn't say the owner does exactly that, he is there EVERY night - and the quality shows. I actually feel bad for the guy.. but I digress. There is no more charming place to eat in this town than Caruso's patio on a perfect night. My long time favorite dish is Lasagne. Once in a while I will branch out a little and have Lasagne and Eggplant, but a trip to Caruso's definitely has to include Lasagne for me. My wife loves the Veal and Eggplant Parmigiana and their Antipasto salad is delicious. We always get it. I would love the dressing recipe.\n\nWhile I am not a big fan of other pasta dishes, I will not comment on any other food, although I can report that there are plenty of pasta eating customers there on any given night. In fact, there is often a wait during the dinner rush time, but it is a large place so the wait time is usually short and thank god they don't use beepers!", "Am I missing something here? Are we all talking about the same restaurant? Caruso's makes the Olive Garden look good. This place is so overrated (and overpriced!) I break into a heated sweat every time I walk/bike by. Food is bland, unoriginal and ridiculously starchy. Service is spotty; semi-decent would be putting it generously. Top it all off with an iced tea served in a juice glass--never to be refilled!-- and you've sent me packing. Save yourself the hour-plus long wait (why!?) and boil some pasta at home.", "I have to agree with Adam. Caruso's is terrible. Ketchup and 40 minute pasta would taste better. Being from NY, I was ushered there the first year we moved here after complaining about the local Italian. Everyone said you'll love this. They were wrong.", "I have always loved this place, and I have never been disappointed when I've gone.. I have to admit I always get the same thing spaghetti with the Caruso's sauce.. I know its lame to get spaghetti at an Italian restaurant since its easy to make at home, But I love it here.. Actually my family pretty much always gets the same thing, dad gets the chicken parm. and adds another breast (Never has had a problem asking for adjustments) He's only complaint is not enough sauce, but they always bring out extra when he asks.. My mother and sister both get the eggplant parm. and have never complained about it..\n\nThe only negative things about the place is that the wait can be long and the service can be spotty, but food wise I think it is excellent, However, I heard the pizza isn't worth ordering, so stick with the pastas and entrees and I don't think you could go wrong :)", "This was one of my college staples while attending the University of Arizona...I swear, EVERY time my folks would come into town...it was a toss up between Caruso's and a few other restaurant delights in the area.\n\nLove to sit out on the patio...especially on a nice, Indian Summer eve...the ambiance is romantic as well as welcoming to groups and families.\n\nBest thing...the LASAGNA!!", "I love Carusos! I have been going there since I was easily 8 or 9. I hadn't been there in a couple years and took my family there a few weeks ago, and I must say the food is still outstanding!\n\nI must say the service was not so good. I felt like I was a burden to the waiter the whole time. It was absolutely terrible! The poor bus boy had to keep coming over to refill our drinks. In addition I asked for a glass of merlot and he brought out chardonney and made it seem like it was my fault. He said he couldnt take it back because it had already been poured.

Five out of the six us got milkshakes to end our meal and everyone got and finished their shakes before our server ever came back, so I could remind him that I had ordered one, too. He went to investigate and came back awhile later saying it would be another two minutes. About five minutes later he came back empty handed saying it would be two minutes. I finally got my shake and the waiter apologized and said it would be on the house. When I got my check, not only was I charged for the shake but someone else's beer, also.The waiter said there was nothing he could do about the shake. At that point, I didn't even point out that I was charged for the beer-just ready to go. Food was great, but the end service left a bad taste. :(", "Same old sushi from Zumi if on new plates. Throw in some deep fried Americana and luxury shakes? Probably works for those using their Vandy meal cards. Third venture by the owners in this location. Strike three.", "I really liked the new vibe and the new food. My son was crazy about the giant robot painted on the fire place and the awesome graffiti'd bathrooms. The highlight of my meal were the Korean style chicken wings. They were very good and very spicy (just the way I like them). I also was crazy about the tempura green beans. We had a couple different burgers at the table, one with pork belly (The LB) and the truck stop (think fancy and much tastier big mac). Both were incredible. Maybe the best burgers I've had in Nashville. Server (Aaron?) was on point.", "Really good deviled eggs, and terrific sushi! We didn't try any of the burgers but we'll be back again to check them out. The food was quick, as was the service in general. Fun night!", "Husband and I both got burgers. Delicious! Fries were tasty. Can't wait to come back and try the Elvis Milkshake.", "Mixed review here. The \"trendy\" factor i give it a 4 star. The food and service maybe 3. The sushi was very sub-par. I knew it wasn't going to be great because when I went to the restroom i walked by the sushi bar and it smelled. My son had one of their burgers and it was quite tasty. I will probably not go back again. The sushi menu was sparse and since the remodel, they no longer have kid menus. If you are looking for sushi...I say no. If you want a good burger...try it.", "I've had a lot of great burgers in Nashville, and this ranks high among them. I ordered the jalapeño burger and was not disappointed. It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The beef was fresh, juicy and well-seasoned. If I'm not mistaking, it tasted as if the buns were slightly buttered on the inside (?). Either way, they were amazing. As per the jalapeño, the spice level was mild, so it didn't overpower the burger at all.\n\nMy husband and I also ordered the hot chicken spring rolls, which were a nice (and tasty) nod to Nashville. The chicken inside the roll had a traditional hot chicken flavor and a very nice mayo dip to cool the spice. We will definitely be ordering these again.\n\nI'm far more a fan of burgers than sushi, so I'm happy to have a place where friends can get their sushi fix and I'm not annoyed to tag along. \n\nOur server was speedy and pleasant, and I loved the decor and overall vibe. Can't wait to come back and try more! Next up: the Truck Stop and a spiked shake.", "I went here with my wife for lunch last week, and we both planned on getting sushi. We were fans of Zumi's sushi so we knew that Lucky Belly's would also be great. Once we checked out the menu, though, we couldn't resist the call of the burgers. \n\nI had the truck stop burger and it was delicious. I love thin burger patties and so few places offer it in Nashville so I really enjoyed the two thin patties with the cheese and \"secret sauce\" (which was very similar to a thousand island). What really stole the show was the fries. They were perfectly crispy and had tons of flavor. Lucky Belly really seasons them well.\n\nMy wife had the chicken burger and loved it. I had a bite and I may order that next time for something a bit lighter. It's a grilled chicken breast, which goes perfectly with the aioli, sauteed mushrooms and onion rings.\n\nOverall, a delicious and pretty inexpensive lunch. We'll definitely be back, at the very least to try the spiked shakes!", "I've a hard time finding good sushi in Nashville. Zumi was one of my favorites, so when I heard it was re-branding to become a burger and sushi place, I was worried the new menu might lose some of my old favorites. I decided to check it out and wasn't disappointed. I had the L.B.C. roll and a bite of my friend's Mango Tango roll - both were delicious. Will definitely be back soon.", "My boyfriend and I tried this restaurant while he was in town over Christmas break. We were headed to a concert and in a rush but the server was extremely helpful in getting us in and out quickly.We both had the Jalapeno burger and loved it. The burger came recommended by a friend and the cilantro mustard on it was delicious. (I think if they sold it we would eat it on everything!) \nWe'll be back soon to try something from the sushi part of the menu! The rolls I spied on the tables around us looked awesome." ]

It had earthy tones and some spices that I couldn't quite pick out.\n\nThey also had a California Steam and Belgium Wit that I didn't get to try.

Today at the soft opening from 2-6pm, the boys, Christian and Gar, opened their doors with 5 brews on tap and lots of growlers to fill. The taproom has great curb appeal! This place, which has a cozy, cabin-like atmosphere, belongs somewhere in Colorado on the cover of a magazine! Great views from the taprooms 2 bar areas (upstairs and downstairs) and large upper and lower patios as well. I can already picture snowy days here...all they need is a fireplace (Hint, Hint). From upstairs you can look out in the brew room, and much to my surprise you can also sit in there and enjoy your pints where the magic happens! As for the beer, if you haven't tried any of them yet, though they have been available at many bars, restaurants and filling stations, it's quite tasty. My faves so far are the Basil Rye Man and the Cutaway IPA. And I hear there is a sweet potato stout on the way as well. With room for 12 taps, there is much to look forward to! Cheers!", "#excellent\n\n I'm glad to have finally made it out here to this brand spankin new brewery. This place is located just on the border downtown Nashville and sits in the midst of aged warehouses. As I was following my GPS, I began to wonder if I was being taken to the wrong location. I drove through questionable alleys of what seemed like a ghost town. \n\nI finally arrived and found the facade of this new brewery to have quite the design. The design is very industrial contemporary with a slight rustic feel. The designs are very eye appealing. A lot of natural wood is used for the table & walls which give this place warm feel.The peeps here have converted a very large rectangular warehouse into what is now Tennessee Brew Works. About 15% of the space is used for patrons to come and enjoy some brews @ a fair $5 a pop. The rest of the place is where all of the magic happens. There seems to be a lot more space here that's unused but is likely awaiting further expansion or storage. \n\nI visited during the 2nd weekend after the opening and was pretty impressed. It's very simple, the staff is very friendly and attentive. The owner Garr made his rounds and came to speak with my buddy and I for about 15 minutes providing us insight the brewery's inspirations and processes of developing recipes. I was thoroughly impressed and felt extremely welcomed by all of the people, here. \n\nThere is a filling area for growlers which hold about 5 beers or 62ish ounces. You also have 2 bar areas, one upstairs & one downstairs where can purchase your brew & start your tab. On the front portion of the inside of the building, you can see the exposed second floor & of course you can look down to people watch. There are long tables upstairs and a separate area close to the brewing stations where you have barrels that are used as standing drink tables. Also on the second floor, you can walk outside on a catwalk where there are even more drinking areas. Pretty cool stuff. Oh, and the front patio is pretty darn sweet. \n\nI tried two of the beers, I tried their IPA which was pretty darn good, the IPA had a surprisingly darker than normal IPA color. I also enjoyed the very flavorful Extra Easy Ale which had a nice bitter taste. I loved both beers and can't wait to go back and try the others. \n\nFood? They only have flavored prepackaged popcorn to offer though I am sure food trucks will make their rounds here at some point. Might I suggest pork rinds from a local joint? Mmmmmm, yes, you should sell them here, TBW. \n\nI loved the site and the staff here @ TBW. The craft beer is fantastic and the location is convenient to Peg leg which is around the corner for some good ole BBQ. \n\nI certainly recommend this joint if you're meeting your buddies and enjoy great craft beer. Certainly a spot to hit up if you're getting off work or making this place one of your stops during a night out on the town hopping bars. Open till 8PM Thursday - Saturday. Tours to come, soon. \n\nCan't wait to get back!", "This place is so cool! We met friends here for a Saturday afternoon beer tasting. We did not do the tour but enjoyed spending time in the tasting room trying out several beers. \n\nThe outside patio area is great and look forward to returning when it's warmer. The inside tasting room area is very nice and cozy. The staff is beyond friendly and very welcoming. While tasting there were 2 acoustic performers that added a great piece to the overall atmosphere. The upstairs tasting room overlooks the brewing operation which was neat to see. \n\nWe tried 3 different beers that were good and served in a snifter glass at $5 each. This trip we missed out on a sweet potato stout that sounded delicious!", "This place is awesome! Most of the time I go to a new brewery and I only like one or maybe two of the beers, but all of their beers are excellent. The place itself is pretty cool, especially the balcony that looks out into the brewery. This place is a definite contender with my all time favorite Yazoo.", "The goods: fun atmosphere, half the staff we interacted with were wonderful, and they have games like Jenga and Connect Four at the tables... lots of space too!\n\nThe bads: the other half of the staff.... They don't do flights apparently, but the bartender offered to give us some small samples so we could decide appropriately which pint to try -- no big deal. Until his reaction to us when we took him up on the offer was one of \"really, you're going to make me actually do my job and pour you some beers. ugh, i would rather be anywhere right now\" (y'all know the attitude I'm talking about from one experience or another). So that happened....\n\nAnd as far as the beer goes -- if you love pale ales I'm sure this is the place for you! Unfortunately, if you prefer dark beers like stouts, porters, browns, ambers, etc ... this is not the place for you as they do not serve any.", "As avid brewery connoisseurs and current Nashville locals, we were extremely and pleasantly surprised with our experience at Tennessee Brew Works this evening.\n\n It was a dreary, rainy night and as we pulled up we were fairly apprehensive about the string of dark warehouses and quiet alleys. It all changed quickly as we walked into the \"Tennessee Fill Station\" (or some name similar) portion of the building. The fellas working there directed us to the \"Tennessee Tap Room\" (or some name similar) portion of the building that overlooked 2 stories into the \"Tennessee Brew Works\" (or some name similar) portion of the building where the brewing takes place. I've added the specifics because this is the first group audacious and clever enough to pull off all three portions under one roof.... and to still comply with Tennessee's archaic liquor laws! If sticking it to the man isn't enough reason for you to check it out.... keep reading. \n\nThe tap room is super neat and cleverly laid out with patios, long & community-oriented tables, a flying bridge or \"catwalk\" and a steady stream of live, local music. It's largely non-smoking (which is enough to convince me to cross the bridge from East Nashville) and has a few TVs to cater to the football crowds. \n\nBiggest fortes:\n\n- The staff is amazing. The smiles and enthusiasm when they start talking about their beer are a sweet relief. They're excited! They're adventurous! They aren't pretentious. Real People.\n- The beers are fresh & different. They keep it local. They aren't afraid to venture from the norm. They add their own zing and flair.... and for that, I respect them.\n- They appreciate the food & beer pairing concept. They're bringing in great food to compliment their brews. It's a movement.\n\nIf you've managed to read all of that rambling- you can ignore any other reviews and just go ahead and get there.", "I went to Tennessee Brew Works for the first time yesterday. They've only officially been open about one week and I was really impressed with several things. First...the taproom is a great hang and has a very different and cool feel compared to other breweries in Nashville. Second...the staff was incredibly nice and welcoming. Even one of the owners was on hand to greet every customer in the tap room. Third they have good beers, which I guess is the most important part anyways. I am a big IPA fan and theirs, the Cutaway, was great. Lastly, their did options are limited but good. Pork Sandwich, Kettle Corn, etc...\n\nOverall, good hang and I'll go back.", "Checked this place out one evening after dinner. \n\nBeer sampler:\nDefinitely a fan. $10 for the sampler, which has 5 samples on it. All the beers were tasty. I tend to leave behind the IPA's because they are usually a little too hoppy for me...but I know that Nashville seems to enjoy the hops. \n\nGrowlers:\nThey actually have a growler filling station as you come in the door and technically it is a \"separate\" business. This is for tax purposes. We took a growler of our own in, which they had no problem filling and rinsed before they did so. We purchased a growler of Ryeman. Good beer :) They put a little stamped tag on it so we would know what we were taking with us. Pricing was good as well.\n\nSeating:\nLots and lots of seating! They have a lower level and an upper level. The lower level has an area that apparently often has live music and did while we were there. The upper level has tv monitors to watch the game on. Both levels look out onto the brewery floor so that it kinda cool as well!\n\nTours:\nThe tours are $12 and that includes the tour and a beer sampler...so essentially the tour is only $2 :) Good deal!\n\nStaff:\nFriendly and helpful :)" ]

They sell great raw honey from Negley & Sons, as well as fresh tea.\n\nIf you love locally owned businesses as much as your coffee this is the place for you. Support local, not corporate. Brew D Licious treats you like family and it's a great experience every time you walk in.", "Yes 5 STARS! Brew D Licious is a gem in this city. I didn't know what good coffee was until I bought my first cup at Brigitte's cafe. After tasting her coffee I realized Starbucks' coffee has a burnt flavor. Brigette also educated me about coffee and she knows just what I like and always has good recommendations for some of the new roasted beans that No Name Java Supplies.\n\nThis is an AWESOME Coffee Shop with an even More Awesome owner, in a Beautiful welcoming setting at the Hollander Hotel. \n\nThank You Brigitte!", "The BEST coffee in town served to you by one of St Pete's finest people. I cannot recommend is coffee shop more.", "Everyone that knows me knows that I am not a coffee drinker. I never liked coffee all that much. Well those days are over!!! I have been won over, not only from the fresh roasted, robust flavor of their espresso and their delicious iced coffee's on our hot Florida days, but the amazing energy of the owner \"Brigitte\" who is a delightfully spirited personality and all her amazing customers who have become sort of a family. If you haven't stopped by, you are missing what reminds me of times gone by. Great customer service, awesome product and true dedication.", "Bridgitte serves up the BEST coffee in Tampa Bay. Located in the cool new Hollander Hotel on 4th Street North in St Pete. Don't miss this hidden gem.\n\nAlso, very dog friendly.", "Great coffee & Bridgitte is wonderful to deal with. I went to school in St. Pete, tried every coffee shop in the area & she has the best coffee (& atmosphere)! The coffee is perfect every time, always consistent.\n\nThe location is great too...right off the highway or 4th st. N.....& there is FREE parking. Many coffee shops have very limited parking... it's nice having somewhere with parking that consistently provides perfect coffee & charges a good price. Plus Bridgitte is wonderful, as well as all her employees!", "Why 4 stars? Because this is the best coffee in DTSP!\n\n --- --- ----\n\nI've been to Kahwa a million times because of it's convenient location, but this is my new go-to spot. I really dig the vibe in here, and can't wait to go back to try something new. I just went with a simple latte, but it definitely passed the test. \n\nThis is a short review, but will definitely be updated with some more juicy deets after my next visit. Stay tuned, Yelp.", "How could it have taken me this long to review BDL!?!?! Everything about it is amazing...the atmosphere, the staff, the fellow java drinkers and of course THE COFFEE!! I've never been a connoisseur and when I first started coming I was skim milk and sweet and low...these days I shudder to think. ALL COFFEE, PLEASE - BLACK, BABY! Because the taste, aroma, everything is just that good and pure. I actually own a bean grinder now and buy beans here by the pound so I can have this LOVELINESS at home whenever I want to (which is daily)...my husband is a convert too!\n\nEven when I do get my fill of coffee at home in the morning and don't get a chance to stop by I MISS IT! How loco is that?! This place is just crazy great all over.\n\nDo yourself a huge favor and bypass your usual coffee shop stop and check out Brew D. Licious! They might be small, but at least they aren't bitter (if you know what I mean)!!!!!", "Most friendly comfortable coffee shop I've visited in a long time.

[ "Please visit...If you have never had Ethiopian food before, do yourself a favor and get here quickly.The owners are very cordial and will make sure that you enjoy your meal, Ethiopian dining is a very intimate experience, your food is served without utensils, you use traditional injera (bread) to scoop the food which is served in little piles on an injera. The vegetarian entrees are plentiful and the vegetarian sambussas are amazing, filled with lentils and spices, then deep fried in somehing similar to a wonton wrapper. Try the vegetarian platter which has a multitude of dishes to sample, including lentils, chickpeas, potatoes, cabbage and green beans. You will be happy that you have stepped out of the norm, make sure you have a coffee or tea at the end of your meal. YUMMY :-)", "Ever walk into one of those Chinese take-out places (you know the one: picture menu above the counter, mural of a waterfall on one wall, Chinese calendar on the opposite wall, tables and chairs that look straight outta a 1980's showroom) and wonder to yourself, \"Is this really authentic Chinese food?\" \n\nYou don't do that so much at this place. I've never been to Ethiopia. I've never eaten Ethiopian food. To my knowledge, I've never personally known any Ethiopians. Quite frankly, I couldn't tell you squat about Ethiopia...But I never once questioned if Queen of Sheba served anything but genuine Ethiopian cuisine. That's just my terribly ignorant opinion. \n\nQueen of Sheba is located in a small strip mall in South Tampa. The interior has been nicely and simply done with low lighting and dark wood. There are 15-20 tables seating 2-6 people each. I had expected the restaurant to be uncrowded, as it was Valentine's Day and Ethiopia didn't exactly conjure up the most romantic images in my mind. Although we were able to get a table right away, by the time we left all of the tables were occupied.\n\nAll items on the menu have descriptions making it pretty clear what all the unusually named dishes include. Although I didn't order it, there's an item that involves raw beef. I found this utterly fascinating since most restaurants won't serve me my burgers as rare as I prefer.\n\nI can't really comment on the food other than to say it's as far opposite from anything else I've ever eaten anywhere else. The flavors were mysterious and the presentation exotic. The sample platter that my friend and I split had eight dollops of different menu items which were mostly gooey in consistency. The no-utensil method of eating is to use bread that I can only describe as a cross between a tortilla and pancake, to transport finger-fulls of the food to your mouth. Since this was my first time eating Ethiopian food I cannot comment if it was \"good\" or not. I can only say that it was truly, without a doubt, unequivocally and absolutely... foreign.\n\nI had heard from other reviewers of this restaurant that the service was iffy and at first I tended to agree. Although there were quite a few servers bustling around, we waited for 20 minutes before our drink/food order was taken, another 15 to get our sweet wine and at least 30 minutes for the check. The friend that I was with felt that it may be a cultural difference though. She thought that we are so used to being herded in and out of restaurants looking for a quick turn over, that we're shocked when an establishment invites us to hang around for a bit. And that may be the case, but a meal that would have normally taken us 45 minutes, somehow stretched into two hours.\n\nWith the bill including tip at about $23 bucks each, I thought the meal and glass of wine was reasonable. Not stellar, but reasonable.\n\nAt the End of the Day: Although my palate was a bit bewildered by the meal and I was quite ready to leave at least 20 minutes before we actually did, I defiantly plan on going again. At the very least I have to try the raw beef. It's raw freakin' beef!", "This is certainly a must for adventurous eaters out there! There are a lot of unkowns on the menu so I recommend the family platter, sort of like a chef's tasting, served on one large platter. There was an assortment of meat (including 1 goat dish), chicken, and vegetarian samples, though they will work around your preferences. It's served on a spongy flat bread with extra accomanying pieces on the side. Do as the locals and dig in with your hands, wrapping the thick stews in some bread and mopping up the sauces. It was tottally different from most other things I have had but there were some strong hints of Indian curry flavors though all of them were well spiced, some even spicy )hot). I would not recommend this for a first date. Bring someone you are comfortable getting messy with and have fun. We cleaned our plate and they brought out seconds of our favorites. You won't leave hungry and the service is friendly and family-like.", "I'm always trying to expand my culinary universe, and so, when I heard of this small storefront restaurant in South Tampa, my partner and I thought we'd give it a try. We were both pleasantly surprised.\n\nAt the suggestion of our server, we shared the Queen of Shba platter which was a sampling of various vegetarian and meat items from the menu. Everything was quite tasty, albeit a bit spicey for the more sensitive palette. The meats were all very moist and tenders.\n\nI wouldn't bother with the desserts which are neither Ethiopian cuisine nor made on the premises. The coffee is strong and served in espresso cups.\n\nThe servers wear traditional garb and are very friendly.", "Went there for dinner tonight with a friend and we both left happy. We arrived late, but the staff graciously welcomed us and stayed open late so we could finish our meal at our leisure. Everything was excellent. Our chicken tibs and lamb tibs were moist, tender and flavorful. And our kitfo was spicy and delicious, even though we ordered it \"traditional\" (raw) and instead it arrived slightly cooked. Overall, our injera was loaded with goodness, including lentils, veggies and greens, and we took home leftovers at a pretty reasonable price. My only gripe is that the wine list could be a bit more extensive, but that's a minor quibble. I'll definitely be back soon. (2/2/2009)", "I tried this restaurant for the first time last night and loved the unique experience! I am a big fan of trying new types of food and Ethiopian didn't disappoint. The restaurant is decorated in tune with the culture and all of the waitstaff were quite friendly and helpful. I was amazed that almost every single table was filled on a Tuesday night! My friend and I go the combination platter for two so we could try an array of food. The bread that it came our on that you used to pick the food up with was the strangest texture I have ever eaten. I love spicy food; however, it was a little too bland for my tastes but it was still appetizing. The lentils were amazing! If you want to experience a unique dining experience, then try this little, unique restaurant.", "I visited Queen of Sheba for lunch and had a nice experience. It was my first time trying out Ethiopian food (sad, I know), so I didn't know what to expect. The waiter who served us was very pleasant and prompt. After we ordered food, it took about 15-20 minutes to arrive. Of course, being the silly person that I am, I asked where was the silverware and was informed that the spongy bread acted as such. So that was a nice surprise! The food was flavorable and very filling, and I do plan to go back again.\n\nIf you love Ethiopian food or you're looking for a unique dining experience - check this place out!", "I'm so happy to see that there are now Ethiopian restaurants in Tampa again! The only one that existed closed down years ago. This restaurant is good! I live in Chicago and it was nice to see that this restaurant offered different dishes than I can get at home. The prices are fairly reasonable. I took my mom there to try it since she's never had it. She really enjoyed it. I eat Ethiopian food weekly in Chicago. I was excited to see that I can get this cuisine now when I go visit my family! The service is extremely slow, but the food tasted excellent. I really liked the fish dish very much! The appetizers were small and pricey, but tasty so I'd say just order the entrees and skip the sambusa appetizers. I'm looking forward to going back again! I recommend this if you'd like to try fresh, flavorful food. It's fun to eat with your hands too!", "A truly unique experience. The food was outstanding, décor was artistic, and the wait staff extremely pleasant.", "So I told some friends that I was going to get Ethiopian food, and they joked, \"what'll they serve you, UN Rice?\" \n\nIt's OK, my friends are not as insensitive as they sound. Just unfamiliar. So was I - I carried some vague notion of ethiopian food as heavily spiced, stewy things. My vague notion was compelling enough to try to pull together a yelp event, but it ended up just two of my friends and me. Absolutely worth it.\n\nWe rolled in about an hour after the doors opened to an empty house - and only saw three other folks drop in over the course of the meal. The two rooms are hung with tapestries, sculptures, and woven baskets, all presumable Ethiopian, and there are picture books of culture and local dishes strewn on a coffee table near the entrance. The owners understand that most visitors will be unfamiliar with all aspects of what they're walking into, and seem to be providing a primer to the culture prior to food being served. Correction: prior to great food being served.\n\nOrdered two glasses of heavenly tea redolent of cinnamon and cloves, and a punch-you-in-the-face sweet glass of honey wine (like mead, but African) to start, and two 'meals for eight' and a vegetarian platter for lunch on a saturday afternoon. Both orders came out on heavily laden platters, and were pretty much samplers of all the good stuff. Among other things, we ate:\n-Spiced lentils (two different kinds - one curried and one piquant),\n-Stewed yams and potatoes\n-Spicy pickled cabbage and shredded carrots\n-Collard greens with sausage\n-Chicken with berbere spices\n-Savory lamb chunks in a curry sauce\n\nAll eaten without utensils using thin, chewy injera bread. When the piles of foods were drawn down, we tore the bread laid across the top of the plate into long strips and made ehthiopian burritos. When that was gone, we realized how much we'd eaten, and how quickly, and then marveled at the fact that it'd only cost us 12 bucks each.\n\nThen, we vowed to come back, and in greater numbers.\n\nWe did not try desert. It was not feasible.\n\nIf you've never had ethiopian food, just take my word and try it. Order anything you want, and pretend like you're on an expedition into the heart of darkness. No cannibals here, just good cooking." ]

Best mofongo ever!!!!", "This Puerto Rican restaurant located in the same Plaza as kaleisia tea Lounge and Panda Hut, right next door to ABC Seafood Restaurant. The interior was nicely decorated with a cozy feeling at the sitting area. We had the relleno de papa . 3 fried potato balls with some ham inside, tasted crunchy and delicious. I tried the guava flavor of lotus brand can juice. It was pretty good. I had Mofongo and rotisserie chicken. The mofongo was so good with crunchy fried garlic inside. The plantain were prepared to a perfect flavor and texture. The half chicken tasted fresh , rich in flavor and it went nicely with the garlic sauce. The owner let us try a special salad only served on weekend. This was my first time tasting the green plantain and chicken gizzard salad . It got cooked plantain cubes, green olive, tiny pieces of chicken gizzard in olive oil and hint of vinegar. what a refreshing and delicious dish for hot summer day! She also let us try their special pig feet stew (not in the menu) and it's only served on Friday. The meat and skin was fell off the bone tender with chickpea and potato in a yummy broth.

[ "What a great new addition to the Grand Central District in St. Petersburg. This restaurant will sooth your soul with decadent desserts made from locally sourced ingredients. As someone who always likes to try a little of everything but not overindulge, the minis were just perfect! You can sample a bite of 5 different cakes for $1 each. If you like, add a shot of coffee, espresso or even milk! We split 2 full desserts for the table as well (okay you caught me, we did overindulge a little) and the key lime pie cheesecake was ridiculously good! It was so light and fluffy and flavorful. The chocolate marshmallow with a peanutty crumble crust was nearly equally delicious. Drinks include wine by glass or bottle, craft beer, and local Kawha coffee. The atmosphere is great and the staff is courteous. I cannot wait to go back and bring all my out-of-towm guests !", "Amazing! If you have a craving, sway-rey can satisfy it - the desserts are off the charts. I've tried the key lime cheesecake, the salted caramel chocolate cake, and the carrot cake... To name a few. Each was rich with flavor and worth a repeat but there are so many choices I will enjoy making the rounds through the menu and the specials. Coffee, Tea, Beer, Wine, AND wifi - all in an amazing setting, so nice to have such a great space to hang out with friends!", "Try the salted caramel chocolate cake. It was the best we ever had. I also tried the Apple Brown Betty - awesome. Good beer selection.", "I consider myself an expert on cake. There are very few places in the Tampa area that meet my standards; most of the highly rated places are way overrated.\n\nSwah-Rey on the first visit impressed. They offer two options - self-service, where you receive your order at the counter and sit near the front of the shop, and table service, which is like a regular restaurant. I was enjoying some me-time this morning and opted for table service.\n\nThe table is stocked with mini glasses for the glass bottle of water that's brought to the table. When I say mini, I mean it. It's like doing a shot of water. It's cute though and works with the atmosphere. \n\nThey offer several flavors of cakes, cheesecake, and other desserts like apple Brown Betty. They come with prices based on the size - mini, slice, and whole. Prices are reasonable. I selected a slice of carrot cake, and for the generous slice that could certainly serve 2 people and lovely presentation with fresh (and not overly sweet) whipped cream and toasted coconut, $8 is very fair. Other flavors were a little less, but carrot cake involves a lot more ingredients so again - very fair pricing.\n\nThey have a wide range of coffee, tea, and wine/champagne to go with your dessert. My iced coffee was strong and large for $3.\n\nThis is the kind of dessert shop I have been waiting for in this area. Please stop by and support these friendly business owners. They have a great idea here and the cakes are worth the calories and time.", "Amazing! If you have a craving, swah-rey can satisfy it - the desserts are off the charts.

Even better is the leftovers I get to enjoy with my morning coffee! This restaurant is a \"go to\" to satisfy any sweet tooth !!", "Delicious food, sub-par service. I stopped into this dessert bar today to grab some dessert and a coffee to-go. While everyone seemed to be very helpful, or at least wanting to be, I'm not sure I received the best possible service. I ordered two slices of cake, one marshmallow chocolate and one cheesecake. Both were DELICIOUS, but it seemed like I waited forever to receive these, and when i did, it was in a cute but inefficient manner. The to-go boxes were stacked one on top of the other, with a loosely tied string around them. While I admire the aesthetics here, I would have much preferred a bag. Though, the worst part of my experience was the barista. I ordered an iced coffee with milk and sugar. First, he put ice in the cup and filled it halfway with coffee. He then asked me to pick and put in my own sugars from a cup of packets as he stated \"I wouldn't know what and how much you want, I only drink my coffee black.\" As I considered this incompetent statement, i expected him to then put more hot coffee in to help the sugar dissolve. But no, he proceeded to fill the rest of the HALF OF THE CUP with milk. And then handing me the drink he told me I'd better stir it to mix the cream and sugar in. Not sure why I'd paid such a high price to practically make my own half-coffee half-mild beverage, I simply smiled and walked away. I ended up throwing out the drink as I could hardly even taste the coffee and I'm not too fond of a lot of milk in my coffee. Nonetheless, the cakes were delicious, and I will be coming back with the hopes that this new business is still in the process of improving itself.", "I really wanted to love this place, but I'm a little underwhelmed. The place is lovely, the service is good, but slow. The packaging very cute, but takes to long to do it. The red velvet cake didn't taste too much like a red velvet cake and it doesn't need to extra sugar on the outside, it is really sweet as is. The coconut cake has a nice flavor, but I found the cake to be very dense and compacted. For the price I expected to love the cakes and crave to come back, not the case. Perhaps the other flavors are better.", "Swah-Rey completely impressed me! After a somewhat disappointing first visit, I tried Swah-Rey again. I stayed for a delicious cafe mocha made by a very sweet and entertaining barista, she really made my night! I took home their season special to share with a friend- the pumpkin cheesecake with macadamia crust!! WOW!! Absolutely delicious! I already have and will continue to recommend Swah-Rey to friends.", "Great addition to downtown St. Pete! Dessert that melts in your mouth. They offer a variety of cakes, cupcakes, coffees, teas, wine, and beers. Staff are friendly and everything I've had there is extremely fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to return!", "Best place hands down for dessert in St. Pete! Sorry for the people that gave this place a less then 5 star review! You can't please every miserable person out there!

[ "I had to go to the Grand Opening today and the place was pretty packed with a steady stream of customers. The staff and servers were standing by with a ready smile and aiming to please. I was very impressed by the menu selections and all the bread and cookie offerings. I had to take home some of their sugar, gingerbread, and snickerdoodle cookies. They were soft and delicious.\n\nUnfortunately, I wasn't as impressed by the food. I ordered the tuna salad sandwich (Choice Greens STILL holds the #1 spot for tuna sandwiches) and it arrived on thin wheat bread which really didn't have the strength to contain the tuna salad. I didn't care for the taste of the tuna and since it seemed to be just plopped in the center of the bread, it was not a good presentation. For $1 I got a bag of chips, baked. No extras came with the sandwich.\nMy partner got the bean soup and thought it was nice tasting but her salad was just so-so. Not inspired at all.\n\nWe sat at a tiny round table (what's with these tiny tables anyway?) and I really think they need to remove several of them from the floor...it feels too crowded and close. No elbow room.\n\nIt will probably be a while before I return for a lunch.\nI wish them well and it was fun to try out a new place in town.", "We decided to order take-out for lunch on Friday, September 16th. When we called to place the order, a friendly-sounding young lady answered the phone and asked to take our order. We had a large order (7 or us) and proceeded to place the order with the lady on the other end of the phone. Throughout the order-taking experience, she was giggling and seemed to be having a difficult time taking the order. She had to repeat the order multiple times and make corrections each time. After 15 minutes, we finally had the order placed correctly. \n\nWhen we arrived to pick up the order, we quickly figured out that parking was going to be a disaster. It seems that they had striped the parking lot at one point and then realized that there was no way to get out of the far west side of the lot without having to back out, and so they restriped the lot. Unfortunately, the original stripes were difficult to paint over and so people were parked in what was supposed to be the exit lane. Thankfully, there was one spot left in the west-most lane that we were able to park in (turning around would have been difficult, had there not been a spot)! \n\nWhen we arrived inside to pick up our order, we were ignored for a good five minutes while the young man and young woman behind the counter giggled and yelled at each other for making mistakes while answering the phones. Once we were acknowledged, the male cashier asked for our name and tried to find our order in the computer while the female cashier located our order on the counter. They found both and handed us one bag of items. We asked if everything was there and they assured us that it was. Thankfully, we double-checked and realized that half of our order was missing. The girl giggled again and found the other unlabeled bag of our order on the floor behind the register. We were less than impressed with the customer service throughout the ordering and pick-up process, but I can attribute that to it being the first week that they were open. I hope to see better service the next time we return. \n\nAs for the food, everyone's food was boxed or bagged together, which is very helpful when you have so many orders. They provided all of the needed utensils and napkins with the order. The delicious cookie with each order was appreciated by all! :) The food itself was pretty good. I chose the \"Pick 2\" special where you can choose two items--either a cup of soup, half of a sandwich, or half of a salad. I chose half of the Mediterranean Veggie sandwich (cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onions, feta, and cilantro hummus) and half of the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad (greens with chicken, tomatoes, pecans, red onions, Gorgonzola, apple chips, and white balsamic Fuji apple vinaigrette). The Mediterranean Veggie sandwich was nothing special, but tasted good. The flavors were not astounding and I wouldn't make it my staple here, but it was a decent lunch. The Fuji Apple salad was tightly packed into a little to-go box, making it difficult to toss the ingredients around. There was a good-sized helping of tender, white-meat chicken, lots of apple chips, and few of the other ingredients--especially the Gorgonzola. The white balsamic Fuji apple vinaigrette was way too sweet; I ended up using plain balsamic vinegar for my salad. Of course, the thin, crispy, but moist (amazing how they do that!) chocolate chip cookie caused me to end my meal with a smile! \n\nI'm looking forward to giving the new Paradise Bakery & Cafe another shot in the near future!", "I returned to Paradise Bakery & Cafe to give them another shot and, boy, am I glad I did!\n\nA colleague and I hopped on over to Paradise during our lunch break. We were greeted by an employee the moment we walked in the door, which made us feel quite welcomed! There were a few people in front of us in line, but the line moved very quickly! We placed our order and found a table (it was pretty crowed at lunch time, but there was still plenty of seating). \n\nWe chatted while we waited for our lunch. When our food arrived, I was definitely impressed with it (which made up for the last not-so-stellar lunch order I placed)! \n\nI, again, tried the \"Pick 2\" combo, but this time, I order a half Chipotle Chicken Panini (chicken, applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar, tomatoes, & ancho chile spread) and a cup of French Onion Soup. The Panini was DELICIOUS!! It was warm and just gooey enough! The ancho chile spread was served in a small cup on the side and was so tasty--perfect for dipping! The French Onion soup was also delicious! They used small croutons, rather than one large slice of bread, which made the soup so much easier to eat! The flavor was rich, and the croutons were just crunchy enough after sitting in the soup for awhile! There wasn't a ton of cheese on the soup, but I wasn't missing it. Of course, their decadent chocolate chip cookies ended the meal, though mine was a little crispier than I would have liked! :)\n\nI am glad that I gave Paradise another shot and will definitely return in the future!", "This was by far the worst dining experience I've had in Tucson. Food was terrible, the service was uninformed, disorganized and unprofessional, and they got the order wrong three times.They were totally out of menus with descriptions, and our cashier was sure that they had items that they actually don't offer. Overall the staff had a weird off-putting false cheeriness without really trying to fix their mistakes.The salads we were ultimately served didn't taste good or feel healthy. The lettuce was wilted, and the dressing was full of corn syrup, even though they claimed it was low sugar. They may say the food is healthy but it's not. I wouldn't return to this restaurant if you paid me. I would give them negative points if they were available --one star seems like too much.", "Wait, am I at Panera or Paradise? I have been to Paneras in the Southeast, and this Paradise was exactly the same. Quick cashier service even though the cashiers did not know most of the ingredients in entrees. A beautiful henna looking design on a cookie. Tons of frosted cookies, maple and pumpkin type muffin tops, tons of flavors of cookies.\n\nMost of the entrees are $8-10 without a drink, and that is only for a literally healthy sized portion. So sometimes when I go here, I think about going to Chipotle for a salad bowl for $6 and change instead.\n\nBut I do like this Paradise Bakery location. Everything tasted fresh. There are plenty of open booths and conference sized tables. Wi-fi available, and it's a great place to meet up, study, work, or brunch after visiting Nordstrom Rack...", "I'm so happy I chose this place, minus the fact that it was on opening day of The Rack, so parking was an absolute nightmare!!\n\nI got there early to meet a friend, so I started with an iced chai tea latte to start while I took advantage of the wireless internet and did some work. The tea was good, not spectacular. I'm more fond of the spicy chai's and this one was not.\n\nWhen my lunch date arrived, I ordered the French Onion soup with the Asian Sesame Chicken. They plate came with a warm bun which I didn't eat because I try to stay away from bread, which is ironic since I'm at a BAKERY!!\n\nBoth the soup and salad were excellent, especially the French Onion soup. Great flavor, but could have used some more stringy cheese! The staff was very helpful and friendly and continued to check on us. I really loved the outdoor patio seating area which I'll take advantage of once the weather cools off a bit! I can't wait to come back!", "As other Yelpers have noted in their reviews and quick tips Paradise Bakery is a carbon copy of Panera Bread or vice versa. But both are equally good. Service is rapid and friendly. Coffee and Teas in several flavors and strengths are available along with all kinds of bagels, sandwiches and salads. But my favorite things here are none other than their delicious baked goods. Cookies, brownies, and cinnamon rolls are all perfect partners with a cup of their pumpkin spice latte. Good spot for a quick breakfast or lunch.", "I'm pretty impressed with this place. Great food, yummy coffee, decent prices, awesome ambiance, not too much more one could ask for. The service goes above and beyond here, also, though perhaps it's because this location has only been open about a month. Sounds random, but the noise level is one of the stand out points for me here. I plan on going here often to read with a coffee.\nThe one downside is they have some nice seating outside, but it overlooks Oracle that feels weird. I hope they put up some latice or a small fence or something.", "Sourdough bread soup bowl. Go. Fill with broccoli cheese soup. Eat. Enjoy carbohydrate bliss.\n\nI've enjoyed everything I've had during my various visits. Sandwiches and soups are both good. The staff is super friendly and quick. Most of the time I'm barely finding a table when they come out with my food. Then there are the cookies. Soooo good. You get a nice big fat one when you order a sandwich combo. Perfect ending to the meal or a yummy snack back at the office later. Of course you can always pick up some extras. The box of chippers is a good bet for a plethora of samples. Yum!\n\nThere is one thing I would like to see....the bread for the sandwiches is always just a little cold. I realize they may be refrigerating it for preservation purposes, but I really want it to be room temperature when it hits my table. \n\nIf you are a tomato soup fan you need to know that their soup has a decidedly southwestern flare to it. It's not really my thing. I'm more of a traditional Italian with basil kind of gal.\n\nOverall I'm pleased with the food, atmosphere and service. I'll continue to visit often.", "Sometimes all it takes is a cookie. Seriously. \n\nThis week has been bananas. I'm talking B-A-N-A-N-A-S Gwen style. You know what lifted me up/calmed me down/put a smile on my face/forced me to take a breath? Walking into PBC and saying, \"one chocolate chip cookie please!\" Oh man, did that take care of things stat! I haven't had a real lunch yet, so I can't really comment about that, but you know the cookies, you love the cookies, and their magic cookie powers totally flipped my day around. I saw familiar faces behind the counter and that just puts you in a good mood. They greet everyone that walks in the door, they're always smiling in that Starbucks our company takes care of us really well sort of way, I just dig it!" ]

[ "I am in love with Chill in their new digs. Ruthie has done an admirable remodel to the space and the front dining area is open to the fine fall air. Very nice and good sidewalk seating too.\nI was very fortunate to have a fine lunch with one of my favorite food bloggers at Chill yesterday. We were pampered by John, an affable, more than competent server with the most delightful accent. He could read the classified ads to me and I would be enthralled. \n\nWe pored over the menu and decided to share the Goat cheese, sundried tomato and fig terrine. It was served with a basket of crisp bread for spreading the yummy cheese goodness. A nice combination of savory and sweet to awaken the taste buds. My gracious dining companion allowed me to order the Grilled Cheese 2.0 and she chose the Black and Blue salad. John assured my friend the kitchen would gladly modify the salad and would eliminate the tomatoes from her dish. I must hasten to add we were enjoying generous pours of the house wine, as well. The grilled cheese was a very engaging taste explosion of melted mild cranberry cheese, sliced pears, bacon and a delicious orange marmalade aioli. The plate also featured lightly seasoned crisp fries. The Black and Blue salad was topped with a perfectly cooked medium rare steak and a tasty sherry vinaigrette. (I adore sherry wine vinegar). A very fine lunch indeed, It took only a little arm twisting to add a dessert to end our meal. The famous dessert combining a chocolate brownie and red velvet cake in a glorious dome of moist goodness. There was a crispy edge that yielded to a tender center. Topped off with a scoop of good ice cream and a caramel drizzle, it was a delicious morsel to share. Oh so good. It was very nice to have the kind and friendly Ruthie check on our satisfaction.\n\nOur meal was a perfect treat on a Friday afternoon. I look forward to visiting Chill again. Might I add that John told us that the lovely brie appetizer on the dinner menu could be ordered at lunch. The kitchen would be happy to oblige, just ask. I find that willingness to accommodate the taste whims of a dining guest refreshing in this world of no substitutions. An appetizer, two entrees, a dessert and (ahem) six glasses of wine was a very reasonable 75.00 dollars, excluding the gratuity for the personable John. I urge you to visit Chill and do just that, chill out for a few hours with the company of a friend. You will feel infinitely better to face the rest of your busy day.", "Awesome! The new location is spacious and cozy at the same time. Serve and food fabulous as usual. Try brunch sometime. The entertainment at brunch the musician/s are lovely and the sound is not overbearing. Sweet place. Will return many times and prefer it to other restaurants in the area by leagues.", "Just had a delightful breakfast. Good service, good atmosphere, and really good food. Omelette was fluffy and made with fresh ingredients. Crepes were creative and very well prepared and presented. Mocca was very good. Prices are reasonable (not cheap, but not out of line at all). Highly recommended. Full bar available for Bloody Maries and mimosa. Parking is free. Congrats to the owners/staff. Nice job.", "This place is has the best breakfast on the beach. They are a little pricey but its worth it for sure. The coffee is really good and the service is always great. Dinner is really yummy and the setting is really relaxing. My boyfriend and myself come here often. Sometimes they have people come preform music as in piano ect in the evenings. Love the new location!", "I stopped in for a quick and snack-type late lunch during a visit to St Pete. With a name promising tapas, you know it will be a bright spot to fill the gap before dinner. We were among a few patrons on a Saturday afternoon, and chose to sit semi-outside on their covered porch along Corey Ave., which I highly recommend.\n\nOur waitress was friendly, but there were a few areas which tarnished our experience. While we really enjoyed the Arnold Palmer (homemade iced tea/lemonade) and \"Leaded\" Iced Toddy (purportedly very caffeinated iced coffee), we were a little dismayed that our lunch item wasn't delivered as promised or described. We opted for the Fish Tacos, and I asked if the fish was grilled or fried, and if the corn tortillas were crispy or soft. I was told the fish was grilled and the tortillas soft, however the tacos arrived with fried fish displayed over double-stacked deep-friend corn tortilla in more of a \"tostada\" arrangement than the tacos we had been promised (as a PS - I'm not sure how these tacos can be listed as a \"gluten free\" item on the menu as the fish is breaded and fried).\n\nOne item we did enjoy a bit more was the Goat Cheese Tapanade Terrine, which was layer upon decadent layer of goat cheese, olive tapanade, and roasted tomatoes/bell pepper, served with toasted baguette chips for dipping. Definitely a very shareable dish and totally delicious.\n\nWhile I was put off by the inaccuracy of the \"tacos,\" we still ate them, as they weren't cheap for two \"tostada\" tacos, and we were hungry. The tapanade helped to fill in the blanks, and the nice semi-outdoor atmosphere was nice as well.", "OK so I've gone to this place a total of three times, once when they were down the street on Gulf Blvd and now twice at their new location. I find that the breakfast seems to be their strong suit. I have to admit that I ordered bananas Foster over a waffle on two of the three occasions. We were really happy with the service and atmosphere. The food was also quite good. My chai latte came only lukewarm but the barrister came back apologized and prepared another one for me that was steaming hot. I would definitely recommend this place over the two other neighboring places, Beverlys and Jackie's.", "I really enjoy the atmosphere of this place and the food is excellent as well.\n\nWe came for Saturday brunch with friends. We ran into the art festival outside, so we had to go park at the old Chill. Luckily for people who accidentally go to the old Chill, it is not that far away, so you basically only have a three block walk ahead of you. \n\nOur friends were worried that it was going to be packed. Well, crisis averted, because I would say that the place was moderately busy. It was a comfortable amount of busy. They have a nice patio and since it was a beautiful day outside we opted to sit on it.\n\nTo start the day off right, they have a $4 bloody mary special. They have a bar where you can add additional bloody mary toppings, but it comes with an olive and shrimp skewer and celery. However, if you want to add a ton of bacon, you can, because it's available at that bar.\n\nI got the egg white scramble and my husband got the philly cheesesteak sandwich, with just the meat, cheese, and mushrooms. Our friend swears by the shrimp and grits and gets it every time. I thought the egg white scramble was ok. It tasted healthy and there was a lot of it, but I would probably try something else next time. I loved my husband's cheesesteak. It tasted like they used liquid cheese so the steak and the cheese turned into a gooey mass of deliciousness. I also liked the fries that came with it.\n\nOverall, I really enjoyed this place. I would definitely suggest it to someone for a good meal. There are so many cool shops around that even after our meal we spent time walking around (both the fair and the shops). It made for a great morning.", "We stopped by for a weekday lunch initially thinking this was a tapas place. It isn't at all, more of a bistro. The menu had enough of a variety to make us happy though. We ordered the bananas foster waffle and fried green tomato BLT. I really enjoyed the BLT sandwich and highly recommend giving it a try. The bananas foster's size was underwhelming for the $12 price tag and wasn't particularly flavorful; it just needs a little something more. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and it was pleasant to sit on the patio.", "My mom and I always come to St. Pete beach as a vacation and like to check out local and more Heath conscious restaurants and boy did Chill deliver!\n\nI'm not one to write reviews, but first off the staff is phenomenal and our waiter, Gilbert was a hoot. He was very educated on the menu, answered any and al questions we had, catered to our needs and maintained great conversation!\n\nTo start we ordered the spaghetti squash with ratatouille and a house made tomato sauce. The squash was roasted perfectly and the vegetables were perfectly cooked, leaving a little bite! With Gilbert's recommendation we also ordered the goat cheese tapenade, layers of goat cheese, sun dried tomato tapenade, Olive tapenade, housemade fig compote and a sherry reduction! The flavors went together perfectly and sherry reduction really made the dish shine! As an entree we shared the pescitarian delight, which was a perfectly cooked fillet of white fish, sautéed vegetables over a bed of roasted squash! Which also was phenomenal! The portions were perfect and all for a great price! \n\nWill definitely come back again!", "We met friends for a nice family dinner, and were really pleased -- the food is not just delicious, but surprising in ways that make you pay attention. My wife had escargot in blue cheese and garlic sauce, and pronounced it the best ever. I had a spinach salad with warm pears, goat cheese, and a balsalmic/sherry reduction, and that was also fantastic. For a main course, I had grouper in a citrus and coconut milk sauce over quinoa that was absolutely delicious. The really interesting thing was my wife's tenderloin. The tenderloin had a mocha/espresso rub, and was in a cream sauce. It was fantastic; I've never had anything like it. We split a flourless chocolate cake for dessert. We liked Chill so much we return a couple days later for brunch. I had a spinach and artichoke with goat cheese crepe, and home fries that were crisp and perfectly seasoned. The service was good, quick, and unobtrusive, and the ambience was good too. In the evening, there was an excellent piano player and singer, who was a lot of fun, without being overwhelming." ]

I would suggest sharing plates with your friends.", "Finally open, The Livery makes use of the former IPD Horse Livery and is the newest endeavor by the Cunningham Group- the masterminds who brought Mesh, Bru Burger and Union 50 to the Mass Ave area. \n\nLivery features an extensive tequila menu in both of their bars. Yeah, I said two bars. One downstairs and another one upstairs that overlooks a patio that's going to be pretty nice this coming spring. \n\nMenu features small plates.. ceviche, yuca fries and jamon serrano top the appetizers with octopus, choripan and skirt steak make up the more substantial (and higher price point) items. \n\nFor my meal I went with the Livery Margarita ($9) made with maestro dobel diamante, Lazaroi triplo, fresh lime juice and agave. Add some salt to the rim and this was pretty tasty!\n\nI also went with the roaster vegetables with chimichuri. A nice and somewhat healthy way to dine. \n\nValet parking is a must around here unless you happen to be lucky enough to score a parking spot out front or on Mass Ave. if walking, the door is on the north side of the building back a bit. \n\nSo happy to be neighbors with this place. My VIP card is going to get a", "A welcomed and unique addition to the mass ave restaurant scene! Livery features a Spanish and South American menu with a drink selection to match. Upon entering you'll find several seating areas and a bar to your left, or go upstairs for more seating, a second bar, and (!!) a rooftop terrace. Can I get an amen?! \n\nWe chatted up the bartender and got lots of great suggestions. The macho pisco, livery margarita, and sangria were all delicious. \n\nFor food we started with the yuca fries (hearty, awesome cheesy dip you could drown in) and ceviche (fresh with a kick). We shared the chicken empanadas and red quinoa salad for our entrees. Both were delicious! We had a hard time narrowing it down though with all the appetizing options!\n\nWelcome to the neighborhood Livery! We look forward to all the Cunningham VIP points we will earn enjoying this place!", "Well, well, well...Cunningham Restaurant Group strikes again! They are on fire and setting the rest of Indy on fire with them. First of all, I would pass this shut down, boarded up location everyday and say the same thing. \"This place would make a great business\" So, Livery proved me right. It's a beautiful space, and the accents they've added to pay tribute to the history of the former horse livery works very well. They have margaritas on draft, and I am a Debbie downer about that because honestly I've never had any on draft that I thought were worth the price until now. The Livery came through with the margaritas. We had the livery which is more of the standard and the carriage house which is more Texas, which is understating it because both are made with more than average ingredients. Both were fantastic drinks! Upon being seated we were served some house made chicharones that were a nice crisp accented with a lime flavor that went well with our margaritas. I'm going to skip to the dessert because it blew us away! The apple flan is a bit of culinary genius. The texture was a silky smooth bit of creamy perfection served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on the side with a little garnish of a sweet cooked apple slice topped with I believe candied Marcona almonds. Yes, it tasted even better than it sounds. They are making their desserts in house, and that includes the freaking ice cream. I can't wait to see what kind of ice cream concoctions they come up with. It's not my intention to take away from the small plates because we were not disappointed with our choices. We shared the ceviche and the chicken empanadas. Both were flavorful and delicious to the last bits. Lastly, Michael, Lee, and Phillip were all so very friendly and took the time to speak with us throughout our visit. Throw all of this together with the very warm welcome we received as well as the very attentive service, and we had a spectacular Livery experience.", "Went there on opening night! The place is beautiful! Everything was excellent from the presentation and taste to the service and delicious desserts! They have to have the best tequila menu in the city! Can't wait to go back!", "Livery is awesome - exactly what Indy needed!!! Thank you, Cunningham Restaurant Group!!!", "Absolutely delicious. Great atmosphere, expert cocktails and fantastic food. Portions are small but perfectly flavorful. Can't wait to come back.", "First visit to the new hot spot near mass Ave for the long due tapas .... and they sure did not disappoint with the service or flavor. Diner was an octopus dish that was flavorful just right. But the meat was a bit chewy. For drinks you have to see beau at the bar as they are masterful at creating a surprisingly refreshing yet playful drink that tickles yours taste buds.", "The building is beautiful and so much bigger than I thought! There's a patio that I'm already looking forward to posting up on this summer. I had their house marg and it was really good! They have it on draft with fresh squeezed lime juice. Their beer selection is on point as well. I had the brussel sprouts and they left me wanting more. The chicken empanadas have me torn. They were SO good! However, each of them contained something from the chicken that shouldn't have been in there. I'll keep you from the details. The service is on point. They are super nice and helpful! Going to go with 4 stars for the potential that they have!", "Great food and service! Staff is genuinely excited about both the food and drinks. Tapas style so you can try many things.

[ "I'm not used to this whole parking lot thing...but I like it. However, people in Florida need to learn how to park. Seriously.\n\nI bought a Groupon because I realized this location was close to the hotel I was staying at, and I figured if I didn't make it to Tarpon that this place could potentially be a stand in for it. Well, the salad was delicious and that's what matters. I ordered a gyro sandwich as well, and while it was good....I've also had better back home. I ordered my salad without feta but didn't realize they include beets! It's cool, it was actually really good and my new favorite thing is this whole potato salad on the bottom. I was really hoping it'd be there, and it was. I'm finding these salads are only $6 and are more than enough food. The only reason I ordered a sandwich was (1) to spend my Groupon and (2) to try something else, even if I didn't finish it. Unfortunately, I didn't have a fridge in my room and the Florida heat means it'll go bad in the car, so I had to throw it out.......but for some affordable food that tastes pretty good, you can't go wrong going here. \n\nBesides the food, the employees were really friendly and very helpful when asking for directions. I wasn't expecting a whole lot out of this place, but I was pleasantly surprised.", "Dear Nancy and Louis,\n\nJust so you know, \"positive feedback\" is quite the understatement regarding the food that Pappas provided for my husband's 50th Birthday party. All of the food was simply exceptional! We are so lucky to have had you all cater our party. People were literally raving about the quality and taste of the food. We are sure you have gained customers from this event. Chef Rob was a \"God send\". He swooped in right on time and set all the food up perfectly in quite the hectic, last minute, chaotic kitchen of mine. There were people everywhere helping set up. But this did not appear to faze him at all. He was extremely helpful, pleasant and professional. We are very thankful for his efforts. \n\nRobert and I can't thank you enough, Louis, for the fabulous gift of your delicious shrimp appetizer. We were stunned at what you so very generously sent in honor of Robert's 50th. You are truly an exceptionally kind and thoughtful man. THANK YOU! \n\nBy the way, your NEW macaroni and cheese was a hit! Both the kids and the adults loved it. It is a very well rounded and tasty dish that can please young and old alike. We vote YES. Add it to your menu. \n\nWith our most sincere THANKS,\nAnna and Robert", "I have visited Louis Pappas a few times and plan on going back for more, great food!!! I recommend you try the Tuscan chicken and of course the Greek salad.", "I have visited Louis Pappas Market Cafe several times with colleagues and potential clients. I have also used them several times for catering events for Realtor luncheons. The realtor's ALL rave about how wonderful and unique the food is. Most of their other vendors just bring sandwiches or pasta (carb overload). So if you want to be remembered as Unique.......Go Greek!! I highly recommend Louis Pappas for dining in or Large Catering orders.", "I have eaten here many times, I consider it my staple for Greek. Quick easy and consistantly good.", "Louis Pappas is within walking distance of my house so I go here a descent amount. The food is good but not the best I've ever had. I typically get the greek salad but I'll tell you the greek salad up the street at Cappy's is like 10 times better. That said good food for the most part.", "This is another one of the neighborhood lunch options I eat at regularly. With that being said it is not a \"blow you away\" kinda spot but it is good, fast and consistent. Their Greek salad is what keeps them in business, get it chopped and with potato salad and you are good to go. A \"baby\" Greek is more then enough to satisfy me, and I like to eat. Now besides the salad everything else is just fine. I have had just about everything else on the menu and never had anything bad. The gyro is normal and yummy, plus on Monday's it's only $5, so great for a cheap meal. The soups are probably the second best thing there but sometimes a little too salty. Needless to say this place keeps me coming back a few times a month mostly because it's quick and pleasant place to have a meal. The staff there are also very good. Worth giving it a try.", "Oh my gods how much I love Pappas' food. Used to be a regular at the old Louis Pappas in Tarpon Springs many years ago... it was worth the drive.\n\nHaving this place now a mile off is just wonderful. \n\nMy last visit - I goofed and over ordered. I got the large chopped salad. Yeah, only do that if you are feeding two. Or maybe 3. Its ginormous. This is actually the very first time I have ever had the chopped version (i was raised on the standard style) and, well - I'll probably only ever order this version in the future. Pappas invented the potato salad on the bottom style salad, and they still do it just perfect.\n\nAlso added gyro meat - which is not recommended. Only reason for the 4 stars over what should be 5. It came out burnt on some edges, was a bit dry, and I was perplexed why it was on the side... I expected the protiens to be added to the salad. Gyro meat is great with sauce and/or veggies - kinda not so much alone. \n\nSo, next visit: Small salad for one, or large salad for two. Maybe add chicken - gyro meat reserved for gyro plate or an actual gyro.", "Had the greek lasagna and greek potatoes. Pretty good lunch, tasted pretty healthy and I'm not dead tired after lunch.\n\nBest thing about this place...like many hot spots in South Tampa there are smoking hot girls in and out all day.\n\nNow that's yummy.", "It's like an orgasm in your mouth... \n\nWait... How about...\n\nThe food is borderline genius. It's fresh, delicious, affordable and the portions are filling. Right at lunchtime when the tummy is grumbling, Pappas' is always on the top of my list of neighborhood eateries. Can eat-in or get to go, which usually takes about 7-minutes for food to be ready (depending on business and complexity of order).\n\nBest items?

Definitely skip on the mac & cheese, it's grainy and far from the decadence you'd expect. \n\nEstablishment was very loud and hard to have a conversation.", "Met some Business associates there today for lunch I had the French Dip. It was very good. Tender and Tasty. The chips were a bit soggy but considering the humidity today I'll give it a pass. The others ate a Chicken Spedeni? Not sure on spelling. They said it was good. The server was ok. He was efficient and friendly just inexperienced I would say. 2nd trip was better than the 1st. Thats a good thing.", "Not five stars cause it's freaking loud. Good beer great appetizers.. Service is good and there is a parking lot.", "The food was pretty good, the beer was excellent.\n\nFor appetizer we had the Candied Pepper bacon (not bad but tasted more like candy than bacon) and the Flash Fried Spinach (very good, maybe a touch greasy and could use a little more Parmesan cheese, but I would get it again).\n\nMy husband and I both had the burger. It was very good, loved the real cheddar cheese. Fries were crispy and a little spicy, we enjoyed them. Son had the French Dip and loved it, said the au jus was excellent. The beer was wonderful.\n\nOur only complaint, and the reason we will not be back, it because it is TOO FREAKING LOUD. What is it with these beer joints--iTap, Exit 6 and now O'Fallon--they have concrete floors and bare walls and tin ceilings and the sound bounces around like crazy. Now, at age 55, I may not be the target demographic, but I would love to sit and drink good beer and have good conversation at a normal volume. I left with a headache.", "Ok going into this review, know hat I have never liked their beer. For some reason it does not taste very good. I knew this before walking in, but I wanted to give them a fair shake at the \"new\" brewery. I tried to keep an open mind and tried the Westport Wheat, and the Red IPA. I was not impressed by either. \n\nI know again the place is new, but there was no personality to it, it was too sterile. Everything looked great, but boring. I did not stay long, find there was nothing there for me. I tried to give a fair chance to them, but was honestly disappointed.", "The beer was good, but the service was not great and my medium burger came out well done with cold fries. Had to ask and then wait for ketchup and mustard. Our server seemed to be incapable of taking more than one drink order at a time. I'll give them another chance, but my first visit was not great.", "Great food, great beer. The peppered candied bacon appetizer is fantastic! The seasonal Chipotle Pumpkin beer is delightfully spicy!", "Loved the food. Service was great. The beer was excellent as always with a few extra brews on tap that I'm sure you could only get from the source. Clean and welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be returning with more friends! Don't forget to check out the gift shop!", "Finally! I've been waiting to experience the O'Fallon tap room since I first tasted their Wheach.\n\nI arrived before my friend did and ordered a flight of their various pumpkin beers. The Imperial Pumpkin and original Pumpkin I had previously tasted in bottles, but the Vanilla Pumpkin and Peach Pumpkin were both new and exciting to me. All were delicious straight from the source. I ordered their Harvest salad and it came out right as my friend arrived. I swear it must've been a matter of minutes! It had blackberries, strawberries, spiced almonds and goat cheese mixed in with the greens -- all perfectly dressed with their house made vinaigrette. I wish I could've eaten the whole thing, but it was enormous. Absolutely delicious. It was one of the best salads I've had in quite some time. \n\nThe bar tender was incredibly friendly and knowledgable about the brewery. We chatted about beer while I waited for my friend to get there. I'm not sure how most people feel about going to places alone, but it always makes me uneasy. His disarming personality definitely put me at ease. \n\nAlthough I wasn't too crazy about their shirts (brewery shirts are my passion), I will assume, in time, they will get better.

I'm positive that I would not have known about this place otherwise. \"Local\" and \"friendly\" were two words that immediately came to mind when I walked in. I ordered a two sandwiches and a side of red potato salad... and no I didn't eat all of it one sitting.\n\nThe Hot Chicken and Cheese sandwich was loaded with chicken strips, mushrooms, onions, melted provolone cheese. In my opinion, the bread is what elevates the sandwich from good to great. The bread was wonderfully soft, lightly toasted and held everything perfectly. Nothing particularly unique about this sandwich, but there's nothing wrong with simple in this case.\n\n\"Ronnie's Pastrami Special\" was definitely special. It was unlike any pastrami sandwich I've ever had. This triple decker sandwich was layered with thinly sliced hot pastrami, hot corned beef, Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato on rye. It was awesome. Everything worked together harmoniously.\n\nOverall, the sandwiches are great and the service was really friendly. I would definitely return for the pastrami sandwich, but the red potato salad didn't really strike a chord with me and could have done without it.", "I found this place while having lunch with a coworker and we could not make up our minds. We almost drove past because the sign then was not very distinct. Now they have a brand new sign that gives this place notice. This is a sandwich shop that serves pretty decent deli style sandwiches, the portions are huge and the service is always with a smile. They offer different size subs and I am afraid of the portions you might get if you ordered a truly large order.\n\nOne warning about this place if you see the doors wide open that seems to indicate it has been smoky on the inside. They do not seem to do a lot of grill work but when they do it can get smoky with a lingering after touch. We asked one time why this was and it was explained that they needed to get the ventilation repaired. \n\nThe dining room is relatively spacious allowing accommodations for at least 8 to 10 without hindering smaller groups that may arrive.\n\nI would have to say that we like this place and will continue to go but I am going to have to stick with 2 stars at this point because of the smoke.", ":) I've been working in Largo for a little under three weeks and have probably visited Ronnie's at least 5 times! I love this place! The owner is amazing, the restaurant is clean and the food is hot and fresh every time! I've ordered the Cuban Sandwich the most (which I happen to be eating right now!) the cheese is always hot and melty I just love it... Prices are more than fair, plus they have salad, wraps and a ton of other menu items. \n\nGreat quality! If you are looking to get away the regular 'fast food' lunch slump.. give Ronnie Pastrami's a try. I promise you wont be disappointed!", "These sandwiches are amazing! Everything was bursting with flavor and I couldn't believe the reasonable prices too! I've gone back multiple times and will continue to!\n\nThe staff is amazing also they are friendly and very helpful! They go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you need!", "the hot pastrami with swiss cheese is piled high and is really good. has just the right amount of grease. costs about $8.50. the cuban is also very good and easy to eat.", "They now have 2 listings on yelp, so be sure to read all the tremendous reviews on both!\n\nHave been comimg to Romnie's for years now. Never dusappoimts. It's that simple. It's ALWAYS good and the staff is always wnderfully friendly.\n**Congratulations Rachel**\n\nMy favorite is the \"Haley's Honey Chicken Supreme\" a triple decker with chicken breast & ham.\n\nIf you can handle it, the \"Holy Moly\" lives up to its name!! Love it.", "worst sandwich I have ever had. after asking if they used fresh mushrooms ... nope, or even make the meatballs themselves.. again no I got a chicken parm sandwich which consisted of what seemed to be deep fried cardboard slathered in bland spaghetti sauce which did not even fill up the entire 14 inch roll. the roll wad cold and I could fit an entirely new sandwich inside mine it was so empty. I don't take it lightly saying the 'worst' but this truly takes the cake.\n\nI will never go back and wouldn't even take a free sub if they offered \nstay away from this ghetto quiznos/subway hybrid", "We had our own deli for over 50 years and then came down to Florida we were looking for good deli food. Florida typically has terrible deli food we tried TooJay's, lousy we tried lucky dill, not much better. but when we ate at Ronnie pastrami we were blown away. We had the full 1 pound pastrami sandwich and the two of us could not finish it. It did not have too much fat and it melted in your mouth. We will definitely be back." ]

[ "West Philadelphia is slowly developing into the new spot for eats. So much so I have almost no interest to eat in Center City anymore considering the prices of most of the restaurants and what you get out of them. But enough of that.\n\nMarrakesh Express is simply delicious. Carved out of a small row house, the owner spent nearly six months getting it ready to launch. The interior is simple though tasteful with the walls painted a warm red and yellow combination. There are an assortment of pictures from around Morocco on the wall. The owner was also quite gracious, having taken time to converse with us about his menu as well as about his homeland.\n\nOk, down to brass tax: the food. It's Moroccan so of course we had the tangine, ours was the lamb. Cooked with the meat on the bone, the lamb just melted in your mouth. It was simply ridiculous. Prunes and olives..., it was just really amazing. He even had some Moroccan \"puffy bread\" which my wife had asked about and he just happen to have a batch made. Apparently it's a back-home specialty or something. Anyway, it was very tasty, making a nice combo of crunchy crust and soft inside to sop up the juices with.\n\nWe started the meal with the harrira soup [a tomato-based soup with cheapeas, herbs and lentils] - he even gave us extra so I could sample some. Very courteous.\n\nI also ordered a sandwich: the lamb ketban, which features leg of lamb that has been marinated in olive oil and herbs overnight and then grilled, tossed on one of Amorosso's buns with olives, onions, the kitchen sink. This thing was AMAZING! I could have eaten three. It also comes with a special sauce. Even the fries were good.\n\nWe'll be heading back soon to sample the couscous, paella, and baked fish [the owner is from Casablanca which is known for its seafood so we're excited to try the baked fish].\n\nI can't say enough really. It's clean, features a gracious owner and offers up some of the tastiest food you are to find in Philly for sure. This is a MUST-STOP joint.\n\nHours: Mon - Sat: 11:30am - 10pm, Sun: 12pm - 8pm.\n\nSide note: all meat is halal as well. :)", "Ok, so I'm a stalker of Marrakesh Express. But so what...\n\nFirst, I've been here about four times or so. Yes, he's only been open two weeks. Sounds like a personal problem to me.\n\nThe shawarma is dynamite. He puts it between two pieces of pita and the presses it like a panini but better. It's got two sauces, olives, and the whole shabang. I also tried the ketban again and it was as good as the first time. Tangine was also great second time around.\n\nSo..., what are you waiting for?! Get stalking!", "Credit card machine is now working.", "I've been to Morocco a few times: lived Meknes for 7 weeks, and in Fez for month, and travelled all over. I've enjoyed my fair share of Moroccan cuisine in American and abroad, and even threw a few Moroccan themed parties. I have to say that this is some great stuff. This restaurant offers authentic Moroccan food, the kind you will in local food stands or small shops. Most Moroccan restaurants in America are like Disneyland versions of Moroccan food, complete with Belly dancers, bland versions of couscous, and a mixture of bad french food. But Marrakesh gives you the real deal. And you can tell it is good because there are always Moroccans stopping in to get a taste of home. The other major plus for us Maghribiphiles (Morocco lovers) is that we can eat some of the stuff we have to avoid while abroad in order to avoid that nasty travelers' sickness. That means lettuce on my sandwiches and the salads are no problem!\n\nThe lamb tagine with prunes was absolutely dynamite. The chicken tagine was wonderful, crisp with light notes of citris from the preserved lemons and green olives. I love Moroccan olives and they serve both green and the famous black olives. I also love the sandwiches: Moroccan style shawarma and the delicious ketban sandwiches (lamb marinated overnight). Their eggplant is also super tasty. \n\nThe owner is super friendly, also another reminder of Morocco's famous hospitality. The restaurant serves zabihah meat and keeps the environment halal. With no alcohol, it is an ideal environment for us teetotalers.", "I've been searching for good Moroccan fare since my last trip to Morocco, about two years ago. Argan has been my go-to Moroccan spot for months, and I can't say enough wonderful things about it... But, it's a sandwich shop, and sometimes I just want a little more than that. During my two trips to Morocco, I think I averaged eating one tagine a day, and was never disappointed. Any attempts here in the states have left me disappointed. Until Marrakesh... The chicken tagine was wonderful. Unlike most Americanizations (which throw some cooked food into a clay pot and call it a day), this one was clearly actually slow cooked for hours. It was delicious. It also came with two sides that I could choose, and both of them were really yummy. The restaurant is fairly no frills but comfy, and the owner is a wonderful man that will treat you like family. It's so nice to know that I can now crave Moroccan any time of day, and only need to head a few blocks over to find it. Thank you, Marrakesh, for taking such good care of me!", "Awesome!\n\nIf you've been wondering where to get real, honest-to-goodness Moroccan food, come here. Mmmm-mmm good. He even has real mint tea!\n\nOne piece of advice: Ask Brahim (the owner) for the tagine with french fries on top. Trust me. It's better. Do not eat it with a fork. Dip the bread in the sauce, grab the french fry with it, and enjoy the carbtastic meaty goodness.", "Hey! Stopped here after the gym next door. I had been by several times and thought the place looked charming. So we stopped in the other day to grab a menu and my stomach started growling while reading it, so we sat down to eat. We ordered a lamb dish and a chicken dish and got the platters. It comes with rice, a salad, and an appetizer and it's roughly 10 bucks per order. The lamb sausages (forgive me, I've forgotten the name of the dish) were so yummy and the sauce that came with our meals was divine. Definitely had leftovers, too, which were awesome for lunch the next day! Will totally be back with friends to share a new neighborhood gem.", "The menu is small/limited. I like that in ethnic restaurants. \"Just make a few things, but make it good\" should be the overriding theme. This little place does a fantastic job with the food. The food is fresh and I like that some things are \"sold out\" when I get there. That is a good sign, and I like that I can pick something else out. The only thing that keeps it 4 and not 5 stars, is some of the flavor. I like my Moroccan food to have a bit more spice: a little more cumin, a little more kick. But, that's ok. this place is good, and pickup is a breeze.", "I tried Marrakesh Express for the first time last week and I was really impressed. We got there around 8:15 and were the only guests in the restaurant. When we tried to order one of the beef entrees, we were told that they did not have that currently available. At first I was a little mad but then I thought about it, I'd prefer a restaurant to keep limited fresh quantities of certain foods than constantly having a ton on hand. It made me feel good to know that the owner (who was on site and with whom I had a nice conversation) cares enough about his food to only serve the freshest and finest. While we waited we were served hot mint tea which was delicious! I really felt as though I was sitting in his home while him and his family prepared myself a meal. We had a lamb platter and the chicken swarma platter both of which were really good. They were less spicy then I had expected but regardless it was very tasty and I will definitely go back. This place really is a gem of west philly and they now have delivery! I would definitely recommend checking it out.", "Marrakesh Express is located in an odd spot, next to a gym and across the street from an urban strip mall with a porn video store, a African food store, and a donut store(Donuts Plus). The place is warm and very clean with booth seating on either side. Pictures of Morocco and other places in North Africa and/or the Middle East are on the wall. Sometimes there's soccer on the TV, sometimes not. \n\nI've had the lamb ketban and the schawarma platters. The lamb meat in the lamb ketban was succulent, moist and full of flavor. You could tell they spent time spicing the meat. The schawarma was also tender and had some flavor, though I didn't enjoy it as much as the lamb.\n\nBoth platters came with a tomato and cucumber salad with mint on it that was very tasty. The yellow/saffron rice was also cooked just right. The olives that come with it are interesting. Evidently the owner soaks them in spices and garlic in some type of process. You may or may not like it depending on how much you like the spices present. The platters also come with your choice of appetizer. I've had the hummus twice and both times it was lick your plate good. The pita bread is a little on the dry side but otherwise ok.\n\nBrahim, the owner and his wife are both very nice and the service is top notch. The first time I came there Brahim poured me some Moroccan mint tea that he brews and gives to customers. Very very tasty and a nice way to thank your customers." ]

[ "I really love this end of the city, where people still live like my parents did in the fifties and corner bakeries like this still get by. \n\nLittle ol' Holmesburg Bakery is sooooo tiny and insignificant-seeming compared to those great-big super bakeries that they have in all the Super Freshes now, but you need only try one of their butter cakes to understand how this place stays in business, for they are deliciously imperfect, buttery and terrible for you.\n\nThey have a pretty nice collection of cookies and cake offerings, some fancy, some with that baked-at-home look. I'd suggest going with the latter. I definitely don't bake myself, so Holmesburg is the closest I get to that old feeling of taking a baking sheet out of the oven and grabbing something delightful.", "I have great memories of Holmesburg Bakery, growing up in that neighborhood. The buttercakes and cream donuts (my personal favorite of ALL time) taste the same as I remember. The place is sooo small, but produces amazing baked goods. Brought a dozen cream donuts back to Arizona with me - and when the feeling strikes for one - I simply grab one from the freezer and wait for it to thaw. It's the next best thing to living next door.", "Ever since I was a kid, I have LOVED the cream-filled donuts from Holmesburg Bakery. After being away for almost 20 years and re-visiting this childhood memory, they do not disappoint. Clearly, one of the best cream donuts I've ever tasted. I just ask that you save me at least one when I am in the area and need my fix.", "This place has been a staple of Northeast Philadelphia for over a hundred years now, so you know they have to be good. I haven't yet had anything besides the gooey butter cake. People tell me that their other cakes, cookies and pies are great too, but whenever I'm in there my knees go weak at the sight of the butter cake and I am helpless to select anything else. If you don't know what gooey butter cake is, or perhaps haven't been impressed by it in the past, you need to go to Holmesburg Bakery ASAP and shove your face into one of theirs.", "While I grew up in the Holmesburg vicinity and lived in the area for 35+ years, I didn't frequent Holmesburg Bakery. Back in the \"day\" there were many other choices for bakeries in the area, and Holmesbury seemed so small, so old and not the kind of place you go to (unless someone tells you about it or makes a recommendation, which in my case never happened). Well, I no longer live in the area, but I was at a birthday party where the cake came from none other than Holmesburg. What had I missed all of those years, but I never knew! \n\nThe cake was Strawberry Shortcake and honest to God it's the best I ever had. The cake is light, but dense at the same time. The savory creme and strawberry layers, yum-yum. I dream about this cake. I also discovered their creme donuts and they are not to be missed, They sell tons of them so there is always an ample supply on hand. Hubby and I liken them to \"fluffy white pillows\" and will drive over 45 minutes just to savor one (OK, we pick up some of that dee-lish Strawberry Shortcake while we're there!).\n\nThey also make a wonderful homemade German Potatoe Salad (yes, potatoe salad in a bakery!) that reminds me of what my dear old German grandma used to make. I always load up on it when I'm there and when it's available. \n\nHolmesburg Bakery - I will follow you anywhere, just never leave me!", "BEST BAKERY EVER!!!! There apple clams can put my apple pies to shame (and I make a good apple pie). Once I had one of their chocolate frosted doughnuts, I kissed Dunkin Donuts good bye. They butter cream filled doughnuts are to die for. Get their early because they sell out fast. And they are insanely cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy a lot for a little. Can you say addicting?", "Great Bakery good prices they have the best cremed Filled donoughts and everythig else in the bakery", "The baked goods here are second to none which is why they are so popular and so well reviewed. The cakes and doughnuts are excellent. I got my wedding cake here recently and I go for doughnuts and butter cake often. The shop is very old and not pleasing to the eye but that's a minor flaw. The glaring problem here is the service you get there. The staff makes it seem like such a chore and an inconvenience to wait on you. They are very unfriendly and I am speaking of all the times I have been there and not just one or two. They really need to get a grip on this if they want a truly superior rating.", "I went in Holmesburg Bakery to get a cake for a bake sale I was committed to participate in but had no time to bake. When I got in there the chocolate chip cookies seemed more fitting.g because they coduld be bagged in smaller bags and sold....Needless to say they never made it to the bake sale table! It was mutually agreed that we needed to eat them ourselves! And we did! They are the best! And I bake awesome cookies!\nOoh....let me tell you about the cream donuts!!! Don't ever taste one! They will haunt you until you find yourself in front of the bakery when you intended to be someplace else!!!", "Cream-filled doughnuts. Get them. But only a few per trip because you won't be able to stop until the bag is empty. The buttercream is very addictive. Add a pastry shell to the creamy filling and you have doughnut magic." ]

[ "This use to be Rai Rai Ramen... How I missed the bright lights with the new name and banner saying that Naoki had it's grand opening yesterday, I have no clue. \n\nMenu was plain and simple. I give them two stars instead of one, giving them a chance to grow and change since yesterday was their first day.\n\nOyster Katsu was terrible. It was so fishy, like it wasn't fresh. You can taste the fishiness even after dipping the sauce. \n\nRamens were ok. The broth was a bit salty for me, The half an egg i paid a dollar for, was overcooked. \n\nThe staff was scrambling everywhere. Didn't know table numbers, therefore, carried our Katsu back and forth.. back and forth. Did they only have one iPad to place orders? Why were they yelling for each other for the iPad?\n\nThere's a difference between asking how everything was \"because\" and \"just because\". The guy that asked landed on \"just because\". He didn't care to look at us or listen to our response because his head was already looking at the customers by the door and his body was already leaving our table with our bowls. \n\nPeople, Terakawa is just around the corner.", "If I could give them no stars I would. \n\nTL;DR Rude service, sucky food. Go to terakawa or hiro or ANYWHERE ELSE.\n\n I was so angry dining at this restaurant. My sister and I went on grand opening day hoping to find that Naoki would be better than Rai Rai was. When this spot was Rai Rai Ramen we also went to the grand opening and was pleasantly surprised. However, they quickly spiraled downwards a few months later. \n\nSadly Rai Rai was way better than Naoki currently is. They spruced up the decor by slapping on a few wall decals and wooden bamboo walls, and cut down the menu significantly. We were told to wait 5 minutes when a table that seats 4 opened up. Then a server asked if we minded sharing a table with another couple. Sure, no problem. Except we would be literally sitting at one table.... either across from or next to a complete stranger bumping elbows. WEIRD. I thought they meant like 2 tables close to each other that seated 2 each... Nope. Then when my sister and I declined, they attempted to seat the couple who came in 10 mins after us first!!!!! After catching their problem they had us seated first. \n\nI don't know if the man running around the restaurant shouting obnoxiously was the manager/owner or just an over enthusiastic server but he comes off quite abrasive. We ordered a chicken katsu (after the guy basically shouted at us to get it) and two tonkatsu ramens both without mushrooms or bamboo and one with an egg. Fast forward 35-40 mins.... no food yet. We finally get the chicken katsu which by the way they gave us pork, and it was COLD. Not even warm or room temperature, it was COLD. As if it was sitting in the kitchen forever. The pork was so fatty it was basically inedible. Also, our ramen came out at the same time as our appetizer and both had mushrooms and bamboo inside... and one came without the egg that we had asked for. My sister asked for an egg and it came out 10 mins later. ALSO COLD. IT WAS ICE COLD. The broth was virtually tasteless and room temperature not steaming as it should be. The noodles were definitely cooked for too long because they had a waxy taste to them.\n\nOnce the obnoxious server asked how everything was and we just replied....ok.... he had another server come over and ask us what exactly was wrong. We explained and it seemed like she had no idea what to do. We asked for the check and told her we'd go eat somewhere else. I gave her my card and went to the bathroom and upon walking up to the front desk, she handed my card back and said, \"Im not going to charge you.\" I asked her \"are you sure?? I'm sorry!\" and she replied \"yeah, let's leave it at that\". LETS LEAVE IT AT THAT?!??!?! WOW. She should have just apologized. It's not my fault that your food sucks. Not sure why I apologized to her. My sister and I were still hungry after eating their \"food\" that we went somewhere else and ate AGAIN. What a waste of stomach space and calories.", "One of the best ramen I have on the east coast so far. Service is great and the food is excellent. Don't forget to order the miso and hakata ramen. The pork just melt in your mouth. Make sure you bring your student ID to get special discount.", "I would have given 2 stars but it is a new restaurant with room for improvement. I ordered the Curry Chicken Katsu Ramen. The broth and the curry was a bit bland and diluted. The chicken katsu was alright. The meat was juicy and breading was crunchy. The service was fast pace. As soon as you order the waiter grabs the menu and walks off. Would I come back to eat? Yes but probably in a month when they improve their menu and service.", "Great service and food was good! We ordered the Takoyaki and Gomoku ramen and they were really good!", "Terrible service. Food was mediocre. Miso ramen had a real fatty pork flavor, not what miso ramen should taste. Took a while for our food to come out when there was only 1 other table in the resaurant. I usually don't post bad reviews but this place did it for me. Server forgot to put an ingredient into our ramen, so she brought it out and asked us to use our chopsticks to put it in. I would think she would have used a different pair of utensil but nope she used mine when I was already using it.", "Pretty good food. About 10$ a bowl. It came out in 5 mins for me. The super hyper server definitely lived up to his name :) i find him comical but i can see how some people might find him offending. Aniways if you came for the food then this place is pretty good but the service is pretty meh...", "So I found myself in Naoki ramen after a long day of running around Philadelphia; and after reading about it in a newspaper article giving it a spectacular review I just had to see for myself. As we walked in, they were putting up a sign saying that for students with a government issued ID; food was 10% off. I of course just happened to have my campus ID card and they were only too happy to let me use it. Then came the menu. It's a bit sparse, but that's really what makes the food so affordable and good; it allows for the chef to prepare a dish quickly and to the best of his ability; as well as cut down on excess expenses to keep countless different ingredients in stock. Subsequently, the cost of the food is unreal, it's less than 6 dollars for a full cut of chicken Katsu, which for us came out in a matter of minutes. Not only was it speedy though, but there was just so much of it! The bowl that the ramen came in was huge; and compared to the costs of other nearby restaurants, would have easily cost 15 instead of 10. Overall, I was very happy with the wonderful, bubbly service as well as the quality, cost, and quantity provided ^_^\n\nAlso, the waiter just made the experience much more enjoyable; I don't understand why people would see him as annoying.. Just be a bit more social, eating is a social experience too.", "Terrible service. Meh food. \n\nMy boyfriend and I gave Naoki a try instead of Terakawa. We sat down and one of the staff (not sure he was a manager or owner) asked if we wanted hot green tea or ice water. We asked for hot green tea without knowing the extra charge ($1 each) for it. I felt like we were scammed, but it was kind of our fault for assuming it was free. \n\nWe ordered miso ramen and shoyu with chicken katsu. Chicken katsu(which was good) came in first. So we started eating them and ended up finishing it before shoyu ramen came. The staff kind of yelled at us saying \"you should have waited for the ramen. Chicken katsu is supposed to be on the top of ramen. You ate all of them already!\" Um excuse me? Then why did you bring the katsu out 10 minutes before the ramen? You should serve them at the same time. Or at least let your customer know that the katsu goes on the top of the ramen. \n\nRamen was so-so, but didn't feel welcomed there. We felt like a burden, not a guest. I'd rather go to Terakawa just for better service.", "Came here for Rai Rai Ramen and realized it had been replaced. We were hungry after dealing with bad service across the street so we figured we'd give it a shot. My boyfriend and I got the two different broths they had for chicken katsu. The broth wasn't as flavorful and not as creamy as RRR. There did seem to be more materials in the soup though.\n\nWe also ordered takoyaki, which was really good and meaty. Much better than what we've had at Kungfu Tea and others.\n\nThe service seemed decent, though when we arrived, the waiter asked if I wanted hot tea or water (i was under the impression that meant that both were complimentary, which is not the case.) the hot tea is $1 which isn't a problem but it seemed a little deceiving. I didn't even end up drinking the tea. \nHe also just kinda threw the bill at us when we weren't ready for it.\n\nThey do accept credit cards and have a choice of cool Japenese soft drinks. The bathroom is also in good shape.\n\nPs- they have 10% off for students and rewards cards!" ]

[ "I adore Philadelphia's vegan food scene, so I was really excited to try the new HipCityVeg, conveniently (for me) located on Penn's campus--and it did not disappoint!!\nI actually have very indifferent feelings towards the Rittenhouse HCV (everything there for me has been good but not FANTASTIC,) so I was expecting the same 'okay' quality. Walking in, the UCity location has a much nicer interior with a lot more space for people to sit. It's lush and green and really lovely inside, and, like the other HCV, you order at the front and the waitstaff will bring your order to you. \nI ordered the Crispy HipCity Ranch--a staple at the Rittenhouse location--to see how it would compare.\nIt was WAY BETTER than the Crispy HipCity Ranches I've had at the other location! The 'chick'n' was indeed crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the vegetables were fresh, the ranch sauce super flavorful, and the bread soft and very good at bringing everything together. I went during opening week, so the sandwich was put together a bit weirdly (everything fell apart immediately,) but it was still absolutely delicious. My friends ordered the Bistro Bella and Philly Steak and they loved their meals as well. We wanted to order a groothie or another drink / side, but they were incredibly overpriced, so we passed. The service was a bit awkward and HCV was clearly overstaffed for the number of people actually eating there, but we still had a good experience.\nOverall! This HipCityVeg is a welcome addition to the UCity food community, if you can afford it (I need to not go there every week and blow my bank account...). It's more spacious and, as of right now, has better quality food than the Rittenhouse location. Hopefully the waitstaff will become less awkward and the service will improve a little bit to make it even better!", "It's...... About.... Time!!!! I loved eating at HCV in Rittenhouse, but hated that there was no seating or a bathroom. This new location solved that issue for me as there is tons of seating as well as a bathroom. I'm loving that I have one close to work and close to home now. I also really like that they kept the same menu. I have to admit though, I would've liked to see a few additions. Oh well! I will be returning and frequently.", "For those of us who stand in line at the original, know that its just as good with a lot more room. I should have checked to see if they have a bathroom in which case it would be the better of the two!\n\nA few thoughts:\n\nLove the eyeglasses against the red background, an ode the the intelligence of the Ivy League school blocks away. Reminds me of the advertisement Nick Carraway passes on the train in the Valley of the Ashes in The Great Gatsby.\n\nI had an arugula taco salad. Exactly the same as the original location. If HipCityVeg can get this going consistently they may be on their way to becoming a national chain!\n\nIt's Fall and they have a pumpkin shake. Get the pumpkin shake. Absolutely perfect. You won't even try to make a pumpkin dessert this Fall because you can't beat that shake!", "Get here before the hoards of students take it over! For now, apparently, the secret is not out, and this place seems to be having a relatively quiet opening week. But once news spreads that you can have your cake (fast food) and eat it too (cuz it's plant-based), I'm sure the lines will wrap around the block much like the Rittenhouse location.\n\nI ordered the Udon Noodle salad. Forgot to ask for the dressing on the side, but oh well, it was a bit on the oily side, but super delicious. More noodle than salad, but definitely decadent and yummy. I really love the tasty marinated chick'n on top. They don't have the Level Up thing set up yet, but hopefully that's coming soon.\n\nThis new location means I can hit it up easily on my lunch break. Dangerous but wonderful. More and more vegan options come to University City and I'm not one to complain!", "I've been meaning to try the Rittenhouse location for a while, and was thrilled when I heard HipCityVeg was coming t UCity.\n\nI went in with high expectations and was not disappointed. Both the Crispy Hip City Ranch and the Curry Tofu Wrap were delicious. The Crispy Hip City Ranch, like many of the reviews state, is truly unbelievable (the texture of the chick'n is spot on.) The curry tofu wrap was bland at first bite, but as I got further into the flavors of the tofu and added the cucumber raita (and some of the Sriracha aioli for the fries) the wrap became more and more delicious.\n\nThe service was friendly and the atmosphere was vibrant and busy (college students at dinner time, what else would you expect?)\n\nMy only issue lies in the set up/flow of the restaurant. You enter along a long, community-style central table and likely end up on one side of the counter. When I tried to get in line, there were a number of people looking at the menu boards - who weren't organized or out of the way... making it hard for me to tell where I should I go if I was ready to order. Because I was on the far side of the register and couldn't maneuver around the people still deciding, a number of other customers ordered before I could finagle my way to the front. It's a small issue, yes, but a simple hanging sign or queue marker would hugely improve the flow of customers in line/ready to order/picking up orders.", "My new favorite place in University City!\n\nI went here twice today. Once for lunch, and once for dinner. Was not disappointed either time. This is a great place to go for fast vegan food. Whether you're a plant or meat eater, you will like this place. I saw a LOT of happy faces (and it was super crowded.)\n\nWhat I had:\n\nQuinoa chili (a special for the season)\nPumpkin Shake (also a seasonal special)\nZiggy Burger\nUdon Noodle Salad\nGreen lemonade\n\nI LOVED my Ziggy burger. Whatever they put in that \"special\" sauce truly is special. I like the way they wrap the burgers up, so when you eat them nothing runs down your arm or gets messy. Not greasy in the least, just delicious and filling. The salad was also filling and is perfect for dinner - not too light, not too heavy. Just right. The service here is excellent. I even saw the owner for a bit making her rounds. They have desserts here! Brownies, shakes, cupcakes...didn't have any yet, but I'm sure I'll get around to it. The interior of this new location is beautiful. Lots of plants hanging on the wall, which I loved.\n\nSure, it's busy, but it's a great place to eat. We never waited more than 8 minutes for our food despite how many people were in there, which was excellent. They are very organized here and seem to really have things together. I'm sure impressed. I also love that all of their plastic ware and packaging is compostable! The green lemonade was super tasty - there's kale in it. I would have never thought to put kale in lemonade before, but it was a good combination. \n\nEverything inside is clean, too. Oh, and it's great that the tomatoes were SO red and juicy! Lots of organic ingredients. This means the food is...ehhhh kinda pricy. A burger here is $8.50 and it doesn't come with fries. They're separate. It's kind of expensive to eat here, but you figure you're getting top quality ingredients so it's worth it. We picked up a side asian salad for my boyfriend's tortoise for dinner and she loved it, hahaha!", "Found this relatively new place, thanks to you helpful Philly Yelpers, thanks! \n\nThe place has a clean, simple look, with a long communal table in the middle and two seaters on each side. Step up to the counter to view the menu of vegetarian options, and the drinks menu is to the right of the cashier. \n\nThe Udon Noodle Salad was good. It's seared spicy tofu chicken (\"toficken\"?) served with Udon noodles with Arugla. At first glance, I thought \"I should get some Sriracha for this\", but the toficken itself was seasoned well enough that no additional seasoning was needed! It was also probably the healthiest thing I ate on my weekend trip to Philly.\n\nI got a Carrot Ginger lemonade and wasn't wowed by it. I got kinda jealous of the people walking out with Green Smoothies \"Groothies\" and the \"Five Dollar Shake\" looked really good too. I love HipCityVeg and now this and the Rittenhouse Square location are on my radar for when I return!", "Hip City Veg replaces all other places to eat on campus. Period. \n\nI was a bit afraid to try this place considering my only vegan experience prior to this was a nasty vegan cheese pizza at the university dining hall. From that moment on, I told myself to avoid vegan at all cost. Finally, I succumbed to the urge to review this newly opened place, and told myself I should go try it!\n\nFOOD: 5/5\nFLAT OUT DELICIOUS! Vegan? What? Everything tastes so real (meat like). I feel like if I were a vegan, I would almost feel bad eating this because it tastes so much like eating meat (my apologies if this offends any vegans out there), but seriously, wow. I tried the Philly Steak as my first meal yesterday, and it tastes beyond amazing. I went back today and went for the Ziggy Burger. Again, not disappointed at all. Their smoothies also look quite popular; I might just go back for a lunch snack there to get a smoothie, and did I mention, I'm going back there for dinner again, 3rd night in a row. In all, my only complaint is that the food is a bit pricey. I avoid SweetGreen because a $11 salad does not fill me up. Although the $9 burgers/subs do fill me up, I wish it could be cheaper so I could OVERINDULGE! No shame....\n\nAMBIANCE/LOCATION: 4/5\nThe shop is a bit smaller in comparison to some of the places around campus, but considering its prime location right next to the high rises and being on 40th street between Locust & Walnut, it can't get better. Inside, it's very fresh looking. Plants displayed on the wall, and everything has a wooden, natural feeling. Best of all, it has a compost bin, and they try to make as many items compostable as possible. \n\nSERVICE: 5/5\nNothing much to say, but they are pretty darn quick! \n\nCan't wait to be back. I'll definitely reconsider this review in a couple weeks/months once the hype is gone!", "I was skeptical for so long, but I've embraced the hip city.\n\nFaves: Tofu wrap, pretty much any salad (they put a lot of stuff on it, so worth it), and the sweet potato fries.\n\nThe U City location seems like a perfect fit for HCV's style, their decor and brand fits right in with the Penn ladies who eat salad for every meal. Plus, I went on the weekend, and ordering/line was no big deal. \n\nUnlike the Rittenhouse location, this one has lots of seating, so if you're pondering one or the other to visit, I might lean towards this one since you can sit down/not awkwardly find somewhere to stand while waiting for your food.", "\"Just because it's vegan, doesn't mean it's healthy\" reported a friend of a friend, and I think he's totally right--in a good way.\n\nOn one of the first chilly days of Fall, I was not in the mood to gnaw on a fibrous salad for lunch. I wanted something warm and indulgent--and just vegan and eco-friendly enough for me to bask in a little first-world smug. So, I got the crispy chick'n sandwich and sweet potato fries; both of these items really just hit the spot. If you're looking for a healthier meal there are other items to choose from, and honestly, other places to go in the city. However, if you're looking to fill a Chik-fil-a sandwich sized hole in your soul--this may be for you.\n\nSome notes: Sandwich is very good--bun may be a little much and they may be a tad generous with their ranch dressing, but these things are easily amended.\n\nFries--great--and this was after having to walk it back to my office a half mile away (yes, in the cold). What makes it better are the sauces: siracha aoli (YUM!) and black bean cilantro (yum).\n\nOverall service was really personable and decor was lovely. Yes, it is a little pricey, but most vegan options tend to be..and yes, it relies heavily on faux meats, but keep in mind that sandwich sized hole in your soul." ]

Its a great place to go to happy hour after work. Sometimes parking can be difficult though. The service is good and if you are hungry they have great appetizers, salads, burgers/sandwiches. I especially like their ruben. \n\nThey have a pool table and quite a few flat screens always tuned to sporting events. I've never been to trident other than Happy Hour, so I've not seen the college kids their like the reviewer Erika mentioned. I highly recommended it for happy hour though!", "I miss this place since moving to San Francisco. From what I recall 2 years ago, they have a kick ass happy hour with lots of beers on tap for CHEAP! Great burgers, especially The Trident Burger. Spent many Fridays here after work with my now ex-wife and she liked it too, which says something coming from a tee-totaller. Will definitely be back when I swing through Tucson.", "The Wildcat Burger has all the ingredients necessary for me to order it. BBQ sauce, onion rings, cheese, bacon. You'd think that with so many greasy add-ins one wouldn't be able to determine if this was good or bad. But that's where you're wrong. This burger is not good.\n\nThey have clam chowder in a bread bowl. This is their best item, and it's not even that great.\n\nGood location. Sorority girls can bar hop between this and Dirtbags and not have to pay for a cab.", "Nautical theme in a landlocked state? Check.\nBattleship grey bathrooms that make you feel like you're peeing in a submarine engine room? Check.\nIneptly mixed drinks with tons of booze in them? Check.\n\nThe Trident is just fine. I always wonder why someone would become a regular there, as the place seems kind of homogenous, but it's harmless enough.\n\nThe wall decorations are \"clever\"/\"vintage\" hangings from Target and Walmart, and the naval accoutrements are cheesier than Velveeta, but the place is completely innocuous.\n\nThe staff seems to be comprised exclusively of nubile, often tattooed, ditzy coeds. I'm not sure if leggings and midriff-baring tank-tops are an employment prerequisite, but that seems to be the server dress code. I guess I can't complain, but I've also never had a server or bartender there who seemed to know a beer from a side of cole slaw.\n\nLike I said before, drinks are STIFF, which is always a plus, but they are never prepared especially well. I had a tumbler-sized \"old fashioned\" today, for example, that consisted of probably four fingers of bourbon, a squirt of coke (eep!), an ungodly amount of bitters, a maraschino cherry that looked like it had been masticated by a herd of billy goats, and a couple of squirts of soda water. To be fair, I think my grandfather was probably the last person who drank old fashioneds with any frequency, and the bartender admitted that she had probably jacked up the drink, as no one ever orders them. I can't complain about cheap booze, but the drink was still a rude awakening.\n\nI will say this, the place makes exceptional pub food. The burgers always satisfy and never feel like they were made in a bar (I guess my excellent yelpfriend, Brooke and I can't agree about everything). The hot wings are of middling heat and taste like they were simply drowning in Frank's Red Hot, but they're still pretty tasty.\n \nAll in all, this is a fun place to come for a happy hour at the end of a long week. The booze is plentiful, the drinks are reasonably inexpensive, and by the time my food arrives, it probably tastes significantly better than it would have, if I hadn't already downed a couple of cocktails. Be warned, however, this place is super loud. I think the building must have been designed by an architect who had just gotten fired from a gig as a music stadium planner, because the place feels like fight night, even when it is almost deserted.", "I've been more or less a regular at Trident for several years. Not only because of their fantastic happy hour ($2.50 pints of all their drafts, including Arrogant Bastard and Racer 5 IPA) but also because they make one of the better burgers in Tucson. Best? Maybe not, but it's definitely up there. And the fries served with the burger are really good. They also have a pretty good selection of seafood (where the name is derived from), and are one of the few places in town that you can get crab cakes (with real crab). I'm not much into seafood items, but their stuff is pretty good.\nAside from the nautical theme, there's a decidedly military spin in the place, which seems strange from a restaurant so close to campus. From what I've derived, the owner was in the Marines for many years. I've actually taken military guys here and they loved that side of the place.\nLots of TVs around, and this is one of my top spots to come watch sports, especially a UA game. It's one of those places you can go to for a big game and be assured that pretty much everyone else in there will also be there to watch it. They also have quite a bit of parking, since they share it with a small office complex. If you can't find something in the lot, you can park on the street after 5pm on weekdays.\nBut this is also a really popular place for after work happy hour for UA staff (not really students). Come here on a Friday after about 5:30 and you may not get a table.\nSaturday nights? Now that's a whole separate story. Unless you like the concept of frat boy karaoke massacre, then you should stay the hell away. Seriously, just don't even come in after about 7.\nSundays is where they've always had their better food deals. They used to do a $6 burger & beer (domestic) that I would come in for. That stopped, but they now do a reverse happy hour after 9pm on Sundays. That happy hour is one of the better ones in town, especially when you look at their new happy hour food menu.\nService has always been a little or hit or miss. They seem to have high turnover with the waitstaff and the all-female crew (what's that about?), save for the bartenders, are sometimes not so hot on their profession.\nI'll keep coming back. I actually decided to write this review because, while thinking about what to do for dinner tonight, Trident came up in my mind almost immediately.", "The Trident Grill is just ok. It's a bar, serving plain food -- fresh, but mediocre. It was close to our hotel and in 107 degree heat, it was way too hot to walk around looking for another restaurant. The nautical/military decor seemed out of place. The service left a lot to be desired.", "Happy hour: Monday-Friday till 7!\n\nI wasn't quite sure what to expect when my family mentioned we should dine at Tridents-I'd never heard of it. But, I was pleasantly surprised! Their happy hour was still in full swing so we enjoyed a handful of appetizers for $5 each and drink specials. \n\nThey also had the world's largest salads for $5 on happy hour. I got the grilled chicken salad and there is honestly enough salad left for two meals. \n\nThe ambience was a bit noisy, but otherwise it was an interesting place to sit back, drink beer and watch sports.", "I've only been to Trident on Friday's during their infamous karaoke nights. The bar is small, and when I've been it gets super busy. If you're not into some accidental hand grazing, then this place is not for you. However, if you are, then it's a blast. It's pretty fratastic on a Friday night, which was really no problem for me- but may be annoying for a local. Drunky monkeys sing their fave songs via the karaoke lady, and everyone gets down and in on the fun. The drinks are moderately priced. $4 for a vodka/soda/lime. However, the service is slow and if you're a girl do not goto the girl bartender. Always opt for the guys. The one time I went to the girl that's always there, I waited for what seemed like hours (but obvi wasn't) to get one cocktail. This provoked me to order 2 at a time, which may be your best bet on a busy Friday if you're trying to get the job done, anyways. The weird thing about this place is that it's always lit up. There is no dimmed light, no soft light, but instead bright bulbs in your face at all hours of the night. This was awkward for me the first couple of times I went, but then I realized it was a blessing in disguise... (there's never an excuse for hooking up with a skeezer) I liked the crowd and the karaoke, but the service and space could be better.", "So, look, it's not been very often lately that the Redskins have started the season undefeated. On Sunday night however, those joker Cowboys fans got what was coming to them.\n\nThat being said, I am at Trident nearly every Sunday for the Redskins game. The service this past afternoon/evening was as good as ever; an attentive waitress in a packed bar. Miller Lite girls are walking around with giveaways and 'Hail To The Redskins' plays at every 'Skins score (not just the TDs - you can't always count on those!). There's a plentiful selection of beer on tap, and you can't go wrong with the Racer 5 IPA. They also have a lighter fare to accompany the full bar, typified by $1.50 PBRs-in-a-can.\n\nThe food is well better than average for a bar. This time I had the chicken tenders which are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. If you like spicy sauce at all, get the \"Below Hell\" flavor as it's not terribly hot.\n\nTVs surrounding the bar can get you any game on NFL Sunday Ticket, and the raffle at halftime (everyone gets one complimentary ticket) of the Redskins game can net you some pretty sweet swag.\n\nThe best part of the evening this time came after the game had ended. Some genius in a Cowboys jersey bet the owner that the 'Boys would win. His prize for having one too many? A Redskins tattoo the size of a small child on his right calf. And no, we didn't have to delay gratification on this one, the tattoo was administered on the bar (by a licensed professional) RIGHT after the game. In a word, awesome.\n\nSo, if you want to catch your game, go to Trident, they'll have it on or put it on for you. And if you want to see the Redskins game and a wait staff decked out in 'Skins jerseys, go to Trident." ]

[ "I have been here a couple times for breakfast and it is soooooo nice to have a real 'breakfast' restaurant in my neighborhood. The restaurant is open 7 days a week 7 am - 3pm. The service is speedy and everyone is really nice. Good prices! Vegetarian choices. They have breakfast sandwiches and several platters. Also, serves lunch. Lunch platters and Hoagies. \n\nBoth times I have gottena breakfast platter. They will add cheese for .30 extra and green peppers and onions to the home fries for .30. I brought a friend my second time and she agreed, it was really good. We will bring more people.\n\nGood deals, clean and friendly. welcome to our neighborhood.", "I'm not sure how this place would stack up in another neighborhood w/ more competition, but for the location--long lacking for a decent breakfast place-- it rocks. Plus, it's pretty new--while there may be kinks to work out, my experience left me confident that the owners are on top of it and that it will just get better over time.\n\nThe breakfast is quality, esp. for the price.. My husband, who worked his way through college working at a Denny's, was a bit bothered by the waitress offering cheese for his scrambled eggs and peppers+onions for our home fries without mentioning it would cost more (apparently a time-honored way to jack up the bill and thus tip?). I didn't get that vibe--I think she was just trying to be helpful--just noting and logging it.\n\nService was quick and gracious. Food was great. I only skimmed the lunch menu, but it looked enticing.\n\nSo glad to finally have a breakfast option nearby...as a previous Yelper said, welcome to our neighborhood!", "This restaurant is really fun. It's new in the neighborhood and was very busy when I went in-- mostly young families and police officers. Seems like people were lacking delicious and affordable breakfast options. (people from BOTH parts of West Philly, if you catch my drift!) \n\nThe breakfast basics are definitely there. The owners are nice. and the best part was that their waitstaff was hired from the neighborhood!\n\nGo West Philly small business!", "Quick service, friendly wait staff, bright cheery and clean. Food was reasonably good. Real plates and flatware. Nice addition to the Baltimore Ave. corridor. My only complaint was the seating is more suited to fast food type restaurant. Will go again!", "I went with some friends for breakfast this past Sunday. I liked the breakfast I ordered, scrambled eggs with sausage and home fries. I had to call over the waitress to get a menu and take our order, but once that happened we were served promptly.\n\nIt is a small place and was busy on Sunday morning. I'd go back again.", "I love their breakfast: Pork Sausage patties, Homefries, Cheese Eggs, Wheat Toast w/ butter .. Off the hook!!", "The food was good...period.\n\nI had a veggie omelette and homefries. It was crowded, so we sat at the bar. Waitress (short, hispanic...I wish I remembered her name) was nice and attentive. My sister had sausage eggs and pancakes. She couldn't finish everything, but it was good.", "This is a good breakfast spot, which is hard to find in this neighborhood.\n\nIt's heavy on the egg dishes. They do have pancakes, french toast, and waffles, but they are all listed as sides and require you to build your own plate when wanting one of them to be your main item. This is one of a few knocks, and the reason why I am not giving this 4 or 5 stars. \n\nAnother knock was with the waffle the only fruit they had was bananas. In fact, that's the only fruit they had if you wanted fruit. \n\nThe last knock is the servers seemed a bit harried and not the most attentive, some more so than others.\n\nKnocks aside, the food was real good and the price was good. I had cheese eggs, pancakes, sausage and potatoes. It all tasted great, but the potatoes with the add on of peppers and onions was truly awesome.\n\nMy wife got a waffle, bacon and potatoes. The waffle was great, and thankfully we had fresh strawberries and whipped cream at home.\n\nIf the servers lighten up and the menu expands to be more than an egg focused place, this spot can be great.\n\nAll that said, if you live in this area, you probably won't find much better for your breakfast needs.", "Finally, someone opened a new place that folks can afford: a real diner that has veg options! Food isn't that great or anything, but it's food.", "What nice place to have just a couple blocks from home! This was definitely something the neighborhood was lacking, a breakfast/lunch joint. And what a relief this place delivers good food at great prices!\n\nThe service was friendly and the food is buttery goodness that gets your day started right. My go-to are the breakfast sandwiches with a side of home fries recently, but I'm sure I'll be trying out other menu selections. \n\nMy only gripe is the coffee, which sometimes has a sour taste which isn't so awesome.\n\nI'm sure I'll be a regular here, which may make my regular \"up-scale\" brunch choices a little upset. Sorry!" ]

I would recommend eating here for a quick lunch", "For someone that has overdosed on St. Louis Bread Company/Panera in her lifetime, Companion is a great alternative for tasty, fresh sandwiches in Clayton. Its perfect for a fast lunch and also has a great patio for outdoor eating. And you had better try one of the ginger cookies (its chewy - not crispy like a ginger snap - and awesome). Plus I give a high-five to any joint that serves Diet Fitz's in a bottle.", "built with care and purpose, a sandwich is a wonderful thing. The sandwiches at Companion were lacking soul or feeling.

But, I was able to grab a Diet Fitz's, thanks Julie.", "Companion has good food and great baked goods, definitely. \n\nAs a coffeeshop, it's lacking. The place is always crowded with seniors or big families with dogs and kids. There's never a place to sit. They close around 2 PM. No wireless. \n\nIf you want to grab a sandwich, bagel or pastry, Companion is great. If you want to sit and talk, read the paper, surf the web, etc, go to a real coffeeshop like Kaldi's or Kayak's.", "Tucked into the outskirts of Clayton, Companion Bread is the perfect location to meet a friend for a breakfast or lunch meeting. The employees are friendly and helpful. Companion's atmosphere is open inside and includes an open-air patio outside (an added bonus!). The baked goods are definitely the selling point at Companion; the sandwiches are some of the best around.", "The latest addition to the Companion family is spectacular. It's got a great location, just off the prime CWE intersection of Maryland & Euclid and definitely elevates the neighborhood. The interior is designed really nicely - it's open & airy, but not desolate with warm colors. overall it feels like a great place to eat. Desserts, coffee, sandwiches and craft bread. The hours are great too, perfect to lounge and enjoy a late-nite dessert or an early weekend coffee. I didn't have the best experience at the Clayton location, but this place definitely seems more inviting.", "Let me tell you the story of a bowl of oatmeal.\n\nIt's a sad story, really. A little girl wanted to fill her tummy with warm, delicious, properly topped oatmeal, but didn't want that icky make-it-yourself with water kind. Besides, it was Saturday and she wanted to go someplace for breakfast. So she thought and she thought until her little head almost popped off. Where oh where in St. Louis can a girl get a good bowl of oatmeal?\n\nCertainly not at Denny's or even First Watch. How about a more local kind of place with no grease in the general vicinity...\n\nWhat's that? Companion serves oatmeal? Fabulous!\n\nAnd it is. It's fabulous. A good heaping bowl, too, with toppings like dried apricots, pecans, raisins and cranberries. Filling and tasty. They go through this stuff fast on weekends. Get there early.\n\nOther breakfast winners are the baked eggs, which are basically like crustless quiche with various toppings like prosciutto or smoked salmon, capers and onions. The french toast isn't what you'd think either. It is more like a bread pudding, dense and rich, very eggy and cream-based. Topped with fresh fruit. Wow.\n \nThe homemade soups are also fantastic. With a side of cornbread, that's all anyone really needs to be happy.\n\nThe momo is overrated, in my opinion. Just a curled up mass of yeast dough with cinnamon and sugar (probably way more than you think) nestled in every crevice. It's one of their biggest sellers, but I can't figure out why. During my weak moments, I ate every last crumb of the chocolate cream cheese brownies. VERY fudgy. A big plus.\n\nI haven't been to the two newest locations. I always go for the flagship spots. The little spot in Clayton has my heart and the heart of every little girl wanting a bowl of oatmeal.", "I have never eaten a sandwich from Companion that I didn't like. The food is good.\n\nThe atmosphere lends itself well to a quick lunch meeting or date. The outdoor seating works well for having limited space in Clayton.\n\nHowever, I feel that the management/owner is often cold and unpleasant. This is the only negative I have experienced.", "The food and bread's good but I think this place it yet another one of those \"more expensive is better\" vibe that seems to define Clayton in general.\n\nI first came here after hearing about their bagels and got the salmon/creamcheese bagel. The bagel was pretty good, but I wasn't a fan of the fact that the only kinda available was sunflower something something filled with other crap when all I wanted was a sesame seed bagel!", "This location has recently been renovated to look more like the West End location. The food is the same at both, but the service at the Clayton location is clearly lacking. \n\nNo one greets you when you arrive, no one says a word to you when you get to the counter to order. No one smiles... it's as if none of the employees want to be there. They all look miserable. The food was fine. \n\nAlso - they've crammed a few more tables in there and it's too crowded now.

[ "While in St Louis on business and visiting my cousin, I was directed by her to visit Dewey's. I was a little hesitant to go, since I now live in Charlotte, NC I know that bad pizza does exists in this world. To my surprise, this was not the case here. \n\nWe went on a Friday night and of course the sign of a good place is a line...and Dewey's had a long one. When we were finally seated, I took in the surroundings of trendy IKEA style tables & chairs with upbeat wait staff running about in black Ts and jeans. The pricing on the menu was very reasonable for a place like this as a large 17\" Plain, Anchovies pie was only $13.35. To start the meal I order a House Side Salad for $4.95. It was excellent with nuts, cranberries, mixed greens, feta cheese and topped with a decent vinaigrette dressing. The pizza was a good, East Coast-style pizza. The crust was thin but well done with a brush of olive oil for taste. The sauce had the nice bit of bite that I love with my only complaint being on the cheese. It was a little lower in quality than I had anticipated based on everything else; as it was on the waxy side in consistency. For desert, I had the Crme Torte $4.50, which was excellent. \n\nOverall, I would definitely go to Dewey's again, even after I found out they were started in OH (it is an originally being from Pittsburgh thing). \n \nLikes- \n. Salads, yes the salads!!!\n. Sauce, nice and a little spicy\n. Wait staff, super friendly and fast\n. Crust...very good\n\nDislikes-\n. Cheese, need better quality\n. It started in OH...boo Browns, boo Bengals!!", "One day I met some friends up for lunch and we decided to go to Dewey's Pizza over in University City. Since we went there for lunch and downtown Clayton is just right down the road the place was packed. Luckily enough we had gotten there just before the lunch rush.\n\nWe sat at our table and ordered a pizza that we could all agree on, green peppers and hamburger meat. Our drinks were brought to us in the stander large restaurant soda glasses to ensure we had enough to drink between times that our waitress would come and check up on us to make sure that everything was fine.\n\nNot long after our pizza was brought out to us, nice and hot. The pizza was everything that expected of it. It was like a perfect child. The cheese was just right, not too much nor too little. It was proportionate with the thickness of the crust. The toppings were plentiful, but not too much so that they are the only things that you taste as you eat a slice.\n\nDewey's Pizza was a nice choice for lunch that day, one that we will probably make again in the future as well; great pizza and service.", "Pretty good. Fresh food, pizza had a nice crust. LOVED the salad with the grapes in 'em. The only thing that was a little weird: ALL of their pizzas sounded phenomenal...exactly the way i like, with neat ingredients put together thoughtfully, as opposed to a pile of cheese and meat on a crust. We got the mushroom pizza and the green lantern. They each had a nice array of toppings that sounded so scrumptious. But when I bit into the pizzas, the flavors just didn't come through for some reason. Maybe it's just me and the stupid medication I'm on (for acne, not the crazies), but the flavors just didn't gel for me...on those two pizzas...I will DEFINITELY go back and try the others.\n\nBottomline: A great place for fresh food without the \"luxury\" tax.", "Hmmmm...some of the reviews on here don't make Dewey's so much....and maybe they are Bush supporters...which I can't say I agree with...on any level....but I really love their pizza...I can't help it....I just...love their pizza so much...\n\nThey have so many arrays and options for toppings. My favorite is the Edgar Allen Poe...goat cheese, roasted garlic, mozzerella, fresh tomatoes, and TONS of black olives...delicious. This might be my favorite, but I have never had anything bad at Dewey's. In fact, every pizza I have had here was amazing. You can also half and half your pizza, so instead of two people having to order two huge pizzas that they will never finish, you can get it split, or get a smaller pizza and try two different kinds out if you want to have a fat kid day....like I always seem to be having when I go to Dewey's. The salads are phenomenal as well...but seriously, I rarely opt for them since the pizzas are so darn good. \n\nThe staff is always so nice and they have a solid beer selection as well. None of that standard AB/Miller swill you get at most pizza places. Bonus points for not breaking the bank.", "Being from the tri-state area of NY/NJ/CT, my St. Louis pizza eating experience was framed by a childhood eating supposedly the \"best\" pizza in the US.\n \nArriving in St. Louis, I was frustrated by Imo's and the poor quality of pizza in st. louis in general, and therefore I stumbled into Dewey's within a few months of it opening with low hopes. \n\nHappily, I was thrilled to discover how wonderful this place actually is. I cannot claim they serve \"pizza\" as I know it, but instead serve an artisanal dish combining flat bread, cheese, and deliciously fresh toppings. The dough/crust, as expressed by other reviewers, is far puffier and softer, and therefore a far cry from the crispy thin crust pizza triumphed in Manhattan. Regardless of texture, the crust is delicious for mopping up the fresh garlic and olive oil base of their \"white\" pizzas (which I heartily recommend...perhaps even more so then their \"red\" pizzas because of a penchant for an overly sweet tomato sauce). \n\nMy standard fare here is a plain pizza with a pesto base instead of the red sauce, coupled with their outstandingly delicious candied walnut and grape salad. (This is cheap (because of the dearth of toppings), and healthier aka the salad). Couple this with the delicious micro-brews on draught (beer lovers, they have Bells on draught) and you have an exceptionally affordable gourmet dinner. \n+++++++\nThe thing that makes this place truly special (I swear I don't work for the company) is the fact that their staff are unbelievably helpful. My most recent experience showcased this point when, after having drunk most of my delicious Bell's wheat beer, the waitress pointed out a chip in the glass and offered to bring me a new one. I had not even noticed this minor inconvenience, but was delighted by their attention to detail and willingness to give me a free refill.\n\n Upon receiving the final bill I was impressed to find that they had graciously not charged me for either my original or replaced beer and so, in attempts to reconcile with such astounding service, added the cost of the beer to the tip plus some. \n\nI heartily recommend this one!\n\nP.S. The staff, at times, can seem overeager in their attempts to refill your glasses, but if your thirsty it is a godsend.", "I LOVE this place. The pizza has never ever disappointed me. I've had the Rocky Balboa (one of their specialty pizzas), and MY was it tasty. \n\nYou really can't go wrong with anything here. The service is really good, too.", "Definitely in the running for best pizza in StL. Awesome crust, interesting toppings, fast service, good beers, what else do you want?", "Great salads, great 'za, cold beer, good service... If they'd take a reservation for groups, I'd give it a 5.", "Good pizza, good service, good salads. Overall a good experience. I would definitely go back (and I am from Chicago).", "Dewey's is alright, I don't really get why everyone seems to get worked up over them. It's middle-of-the-road pizza, nothing too special about it. Comes in only 1 type of crust (the bland \"hand tossed\" style, which inspires yawns all around). You can see the workers in the back throwing the dough around during your long wait for a table, or you can squint your eyes to watch their lone 17\" tv in the corner (why even have a tv if it's going to be so small?).\n\nIf you like lots of weird junk on your pizza, they can accommodate. But that's not really a calling card, since almost every pizza place takes pride in the weird stuff they put on their pies. Like most other pizza joints nowadays they have wacky names for all their specialties. The service is alright but seems overworked. This is a good place to go to if you're with a group of people that can't come to an agreement on anywhere else. \n\nThat being said, the pizza's not bad, but let's not get worked up here." ]

[ "Well I was trying to avoid reviewing chains but this restaurant went above my expectations so here it goes...\n\nThis location just opened Monday, it is in the parking lot area of the Plymouth Meeting Mall. So parking is not an issue at all. The restaurant has a chic look using dark woods for their tables & decor along with black napkins & chopsticks. The plating is nice and creative. All of the dishes we tried were very good. Not overly saucey or salty, but well seasoned. Probably the best Kung Pao chicken I have ever had. Their Chang's Spicy Chicken (their version of General Tso's) was also very good, could have been less sweet & more spicy but still very enjoyable. Their array of mini-desserts were very tempting so I will have to go back soon & sample some. I am excited that they have an outdoor seating area since the weather is getting nice and the food was good.", "Nice decor. Good prices. Hospitable wait staff. Decent food. I recommend the lettuce wraps and the honey shrimp. Everything looked good as well. I too was skeptical of a Chinese Food Chain, but I can't wait to go back.", "Let's be realistic here. P.F. Changs is a CHAIN. As long as you get that you will be okay.\nThe décor is made to be smooth, cool, sophisticated and duplicated to some degree.\n\nIf you have been in one Chang you can pretty much feel you've been in another.\n\nThis one just happens to be new, so they were able to build the outside area onto it.\n\nI have been going to the one down Route 1 and 202, but this one is now closer to home.\nI like to go every once in a while. NOT every month.\n\nJust got back from a dinner there, so I thought I'd write while everything is still fresh in my memory.\n\nIf you think you can walk into this place on a weekend evening, I hope you do not come hungry. You will give your name at the desk and be given one of those beeper thingy's. Then you will wait. And wait.\n\nWe had a reservation and we waited close to 30minutes. NOT HAPPY. The host/ess were fine and busy. We were finally shown to our table, brought our drinks, our order taken and then we waited.\n\nMy Gawd, what fools we be. We had ordered everything that they considered an entrée.\nNo appetizers.\nOur fault. The wait seemed unbearable.\n\nWe eat family style so the table was covered with no room to spare. Snap peas, cucumbers and a noodle dish from the Gluten free menu. NOTE for you people with Gluten intolerance. The owner of the Chain himself I've hear has this condition.\n\nWe had the chicken dish that is quick stir fried, the special salmon in soy sauce over rice, and the grilled shrimp in lemon grass. Brown rice for the table.\n\nThe snap peas were just okay. Nothing special. The cucumber w/ sauce was better. The noodle dish was very flavorful. The chicken dish was light and moist and came with broccoli. The salmon was just a smidge dry from the grill, but if you put the rice and sauce over it, mmmmmmmm, it was great. The open grilled shrimp with lemongrass still w/ shell add a little extra lemon sprinkled over - nice and I have to say everyone at our table just had a cup of coffee and that was enough.\n\nThe noise level in this place is about a 7-8 on a scale of 10. There is very little romance here. \n\nIf you like soup get the wonton soup, but don't expect to eat it yourself, it can feed 4 people easily unless you are ordering nothing else.\nThe chocolate cake----some people say they die for. After having it 3 or 4 times, I'm ready to move onto something else. I don't know what these dessert shots are, but I saw them as I passed on my way to the table. Looked interesting. 3 dessert choices in a somewhat large shot glass on a white plate. Hmmm wonder what is in them.\n\nMaybe next time. \n\nThere is a new Redstone restaurant directly opposite P.F. Chang's that opened last week.\nAh the competition.\nDave and Buster's opens in a little bit.\nThe whole mall is changing.\n\nChang's is located in between Boscov's and Macy's on the outside of the Mall.\n\nOh yes - I wanted to tell you about the Host on our way out. \n\nOur friend went to get the car and I glanced around the restaurant and noticed the guy behind the front podium. Boy was he in Zombie land. A little freakie. They wear headphone gear and black outfits. He's just staring out the front door totally zonked.\nIt was 10:15 PM, so he must have been tired. But it was like a scene from a movie. Imagine Will Smith from Men in Black just standing there as a room full of people are eating, running food to tables and the world turns. I wanted to run my hand up and down in front of his face and see if there was anything working behind his eyes.\nBut then I had to leave.\n\nOooooh I hate to leave in the middle of a movie.", "How HAPPY was I to hear that they opened a PF Chang's right down the road from me! Now I don't have to drive all the way to AC or Baltimore for some delicious, cheap Chinese food with its trendy atmosphere.\n\nYup, its a chain, but super deelish food. And wow is this place super affordable. Three friends and I split 5 entrees, chicken lettuce wraps, a large bowl of hot and sour soup (that served at least 2 bowls for each of us), and two alcoholic drinks for $83! Boy were we shocked when we got the bill! Stuffed tummies, great service, lovely atmosphere, and all for a reasonable price.\n\nI'm weird about giving out 5 stars, but I give this PF Chang's a 4 and a half.", "Overprice Chinese take out with sit down dining.\n\nLets start off from the beginning. Made reservations early in day and arrived early. Confirmed my reservation with her and her associate and proceeded to wait. 10 min past my reservation I walked 5 paces to the hostess and asked when would my table be ready. She got that deer in the headlight look like she never saw me. My God, I was sitting in front of her for the last 30 minutes just feet away. She then said they were getting my table for six ready. I corrected her that I was a party of 4. 5 minutes later we were shown to the table by the take out counter. \n\nLet me state now that one table just blew it for the poor waitress. I image that table has a bad tipping ratio. What a nearsighted idea that was. \n\nThe meal was prepared well but way overpriced. 9 dollars for fried green beans of which there were like 25. Poor value for price. You might pay that if you had some atmosphere but this is a chain restaurant where you are treated like cattle when you have a good table. Every entree was the same way. While done exactly right it really was not much different than Chinese take out at double the price. \n\nThe noise volume was overwhelming. I would say about an 8 on a scale of one to 10. \n\nAs for desert. I got the cheesecake in a small shot glass. Mostly graham cracker crumbs with some slime that tasted like cheese cake. Again at 2 dollars this was an insult to my wallet. I have had better shot desserts at other chain restaurants that were larger with less crumbs. Seems like they are maximizing profits at the expense of the whole Chinese restaurant business going to the dogs.", "Worst experience ever! Food is good, nice servers but the long wait to be seated ruined my celebration. Half an hour wait and we HAD a RESERVATION!!! What's the point of reservations?", "This was my first visit to any P.F. Chang's and I really don't understand the hype. There was a wait so I was expecting some good eats, but I was not impressed by any means. \n\nThe fried calamari was average. The mongolian beef was comparable to any americanized chinese takeout place. The sweet and sour chicken was neither sweet nor sour. \n\nService wasn't great.\n\nAt least they give you fortune cookies at the end... I heart fortune cookies.", "Alicia F loves this place. I adore Alicia F. Therefore, I was destined to like this place even before I ate here. And luckily, it was pretty damn good.\n\nWe lunched it up here and started with the crab wontons - uhhh, amazing! My bff then sold me on the Singapore Street noodles (as did the waiter, who was super sweet and said \"gracias\" every time he put something on the table). Those noodles were yummy, and I have enough leftovers for two more meals.\n\nI'm not the world's biggest fan of Chinese food but this place might make a believer out of me. Who would have thought that my life would be altered forever at the Plymouth Meeting Mall (not me, that's for damn sure!)?", "You need to make a reservation or eat at the spacious bar. That is because in the suburbs any place worth going to will always be busy. Food was tasty, and the special sauce isn't necessary and not mixed well, but the star for me was my mai tai. Towering over the table, I can down 'em all night long! I also enjoy how they don't cut the calamari into rings. That is so 2001! :) \n\nService was also superior juxtaposed by havingbeen ignored by THREE bartenders downstairs at Dave & Buster's across the street a week earlier.", "I don't know, kids.. I'm just not feelin' the Chang. \n\nI went with three other people, and all of our food was mediocre... Like, I've had better Chinese takeout! But at least with Chinese takeout, there are no delusions of grandeur (stupid sauce mixing at the table.. Puh-lease! Macaroni Grill called, they want their shtick back...!) like 500 sharing plates on your table, Chang's this, Chang's that. Get over yourself, P.F!\n\nAnyway, we were there for like 500 hours bc every course was so drawn out and Chang-ed up (yeah, I've made it into a verb)... and so every one of our meals was luke warm when it arrived. I'm like, umm aren't you cooking in a wok? How is my food cold? \n\nAnyway - there were a couple things I did like. The stir fried spinach with garlic was delish, and cooked really nicely, the tea selections were above average, and the \"Great wall of Chocolate\" dessert was a hit at our table :)\n\nBut overall... I won't ever Chang again." ]

[ "When I broke my leg skiing my parents dropped by my apartment to see how I was doing. On their way to my place, they called me and asked if I wanted anything to eat. What I wanted was comfort food. What I wanted was something warm and spicy that would make me forget that I was going to have to hobble around on crutches on Indiana black ice for the next 3 months.\n\nWhat I wanted was King Rib. My parents delivered (thanks Mom and Dad.)\n\nKing Rib is the best rib place in Indy. The business operates out of what looks like a converted car wash in a slightly sketchy part of town just past Fall Creek on Keystone. In the summer they have rows of smokers roasting meats. In the winter their business slows down and they move a lot of their operation indoors. Still, it's the best take out BBQ in Indianapolis. Really good cornbread too.", "The 3 star is probably more due to the fact that the lady that helped us was really friendly.\n\nThe wife and I went out here last weekend because we were craving bbq. I gotta admit, as we rolled up to this place, I wasn't quite sure what to think. This place is attached to a car wash, and it's all take out. You can either place your order at the walk up window, or drive through. It looked pretty sketchy, but hey, sometimes those are the places that have the best food.\n\nFood- My wife got the rib dinner, and I got the rib tips dinner. The ribs weren't the most tender (didn't fall off the bone or anything), but they were decent. My rib tips also were not that tender, but decent. With each of our dinners, we got two sides. I got mac and cheese and beans, and my wife got mac n cheese with potato salad. Sides were good not great. And they also give you two slices of white bread\n\nValue- each of our meals was just a little under $10. They give you LOTS of food with each meal. \n\nOverall- a bit far for us to get to, especially for what it is. The search continues.\n\nChuck Norris rating- still rolling eyes", "I have to start out by saying I have yet to try their ribs, but definitely 5 out of 5 for their bbq chicken. Wow, is it fabulous! You don't have to mess with picking the meat off the bone because it just falls off! The sauce it outta this world..spicy, sweet and everything in between..if you are a macaroni and cheese person their's is for you..definitely not like what I'm used to but so awesome...good specials on some days I think during lunch..definitely recommended!!", "4 stars for what it is. Down-to-earth takeout Q.\n\nMost everything is good except the tips in my opinion.\n\nMild or mixed (hot and mild) are good choices.\n\nVery messy, good sauce, good sides, and most everything is good except the tips in my opinion. I would recommend pulled pork sandwich but don't think you're gonna eat it without a fork. Chicken and ribs are good.", "If you're in search of great Indianapolis BBQ, I can't think of a better place. than King Ribs, as long as you can live with its drive-thru only situation.\n\nLast weekend, I picked up a half slab of ribs and a pound of pork BBQ. For less than $24 we had six sizeable meals out of it. The ribs were meaty and tender, practically falling off the bone. We got the \"mixed' hot and regular sauce and while it was a tad sweet for me, it was just about as spicy as it needed to be. \n\nThe BBQ pork shoulder was excellent as well. Plus they give you buns and bread so it's a complete dinner.\n\nI pass this place often, and have been here before, but frankly I just forgot how great it is. I'll be back with frequency.", "When it is good, it is a home run. Can be hit and miss. Love to get a whole order of ribs in their hot sauce. Can last me three meals. Reheats well but is also good cold. The hot isn't all that hot, but it is super tasty. Very sweet but I like it that way. Super smoky meat with a nice crust to it. Employees usually very friendly. Take out only.", "I would give 5 stars if they would bring the prices down. Great BBQ. 2nd best in town after Kilroy's. There is no place to sit in the restaurant so you have to take your food elsewhere. It's located in the hood.", "I admit....rib preference is very subjective. With that said i have found another would be rib joint. And to think a pig gave his life for this......SMH.\n\nRibs- not very hot, tender but fatty (y'all should trim more before cooking)\nRib Tips - boney and (see comments above)\nSauce - kind of sweet but no heat on it. heck small kids from spicy cultures could lick this sauce off a nipple straight out ta the shoot.", "Best Mac n cheese....ever! Hear me? Ever! Nom nom nom OK, let me back up and describe this place. It's basically a backyard BBQ with a drive up window. As you drive up, behind the little window place you'll see the smoke stacks as the guy in back BBQs your ribs. The menu is pretty simple but gets right to the point. Do you want ribs or do you want rib tips? There's some other stuff there but....c'mon child....you really want the ribs. Mild or spicy? What sides do you want.\n\nYou'll get the best ribs you've ever had, doused in sauce with two slices of white bread, some AMAZING mac n cheese and slaw.\n\nDon't forget to order a purple drank to go with. This is truly amazing stuff. I mean it.", "We ordered take out and it was packed very nicely. The barbecue chicken is perfect, ribs slightly boney but very good. The sauce, we got mixed, mild and hot, absolutely delicious. Mac and cheese very good, greens, cole slaw and corn bread were good.

They told us they would have a grand opening mid January. \n\nWe tried Kofta and shawarma pita sandwiches and tabouli salad. The sandwiches came with seasoned fries. We were impressed with the tastes and spices. We noticed the gyro on a spit and will try that next time.", "I am so glad that Apollo Beach finally has a quality quick service restaurant. The food was very tasty. We ordered the veg platter, grilled platter, schwarma and spinach pie. Everything was hot and delicious. The falafels were freshly made not frozen.One of the best we have ever had. We will most certainly visit them often. If you live in the area please try them, you will not be disappointed.", "So excited we now have this place in Apollo beach. I've eaten a lot of falafel in my days, and this is one of the best I've had. Everything is extremely fresh, very well spiced (tabbouleh is one of those that I'm often \"eh\" about. This was delicious and fresh. Even \"just\" the rice was flavored beautifully.) I hope they stay on the right track and people continue to support this new establishment!", "I see all the 4 and 5 star reviews, and I hate to be that guy, but... Meh. I was really hoping that this place would give a little more variety to Apollo Beach.\n\nI have eaten Mediterranean food all over the country. And this isn't bad. But it's not great, either.\n\nFirst of all, my tabouli had NO cracked wheat in it. At all. Then, I ordered the shawarma, and they had apparently run out. They didn't tell me when I placed my order. When I showed up, they informed me that they had decided to sub my order for the Beef Shish Kebob platter. They didn't even give me a chance to choose something else!\n\nMy wife loves falafel, but wasn't crazy about this recipe. It was obviously fresh, but decidedly dry. The rice was good. Hummus was okay. The grape leaves were probably the best thing we ordered. They were definitely fresh.\n\nThe staff was friendly enough. Portion sizes were reasonable. We ordered the Early Bird Special (don't judge me, it was a late lunch!) and for $9.99, you get an appetizer, platter or pita sandwich, and a dessert (HOLY BAKLAVA, I'd go back just for this!!!) \n\nI will try them again in a few weeks, once they have gotten the hang of things and aren't so new. Hopefully I can add a star or two.", "So, true to my word, I gave this place another try after they've been open for a few weeks. I am so glad that I did!\n\nThe falafel recipe seems to have changed a bit and my wife says that it's much better and is no longer dry. The tabouli had bulgur in it this time, and was just delicious. Seriously. I don't often like tabouli, and I ate the entire portion. It was just that fresh and wonderful. \n\nThey had the shawarma this time, and it was amazing. Even my 13 month old approved (also worth noting, she had some of the rice and shoveled it all into her mouth, and then demanded more - 3 times!) The pita was so good!\n\nAll of the things that I liked before were still delicious - the rice, the hummus (which my kid also ate, by the spoonful!), the grape leaves, and of course that BAKLAVA.\n\nThe staff is still friendly and accommodating, the place is clean, and I will definitely be back.\n\nOh, also worth mentioning, I did try the french fries. Not something I would normally order from a Mediterranean place, but glad I tried them here. They are seasoned perfectly and I'm pretty sure they were hand-cut.", "Amazing Middle Eastern Food!

Great for lunch or dinner.", "The food was great. Both my fiance enjoyed it and will return as its hard to find Middle Eastern food in Apollo Beach. During my visit, the manager seemed stressed and a bit defensive. He didn't wait for me to finish my sentence about a side salad before telling me I couldn't substitute my fries for it. Had he listened instead of jumping the gun, he would've hear me say a salad was \"in addition to\" the meal that comes with fries. He has since apologized for this citing that a lot of customers do this. I'd just like to say that while I understand, he needs to give the benefit of the doubt to people because some customers do read the menu thoroughly and come from a service background as I do. He also seemed upset that the check-in incentive from Yelp had not been updated yet, but he did honor the percentage off explaining that he had not had a chance to contact them yet to have it fixed. I appreciate his efforts to apologize and contact me via Yelp so I have edited my review to reflect this.", "I had been wanting to try this place that opened in Apollo Beach about 10 months ago. Their location is unfortunate, because unless you know it's there, it won't attract much drive-by service. I hope they can do some advertising to get more folks in the door.\n\nThe owner was super friendly and freshly made our orders promptly. I got the Falafel platter, which came w/ tabouli, rice, pitas, hummus, and of course, the BEST Falafel!

You order at the counter, then you get a card marker to take to your table. No name calling here, your calzone is hand delivered directly to you. After you're done dining, you don't even have to bus your own table, they do that for you as well. All the service is basically like a sit down restaurant, except you order at the counter. \n\nMy usual order is the Meat Me in St. Louis, but today I changed things up. I ordered, the Fatty B which Ian Froeb said is the \"must order\" on his STL 100 list for 2016. The Fatty B is filled with; Pepperoni, Meatballs, White Onion, Provolone, Roasted Garlic, Ricotta and Garlic Oil. Of course, it had a Spicy Red Sauce on the side. Damn, it was good. A little too garlicky for me, but lucky for me I had some Yelp breath mints in my pocket so the problem was easily rectified. \n\nThis may become the most popular location for SOTS. With the night life of The Grove, this place is going to be a hot spot. I know for me, this location is closer to home and I'll be stopping by for lunches on my days off.

One calzone is certainly enough to share between multiple people! Although they still have some kinks to work out with meal timing, the service overall was fantastic.

Being new to STL I didn't realize there was two locations already in the area! Although I love calzones, part of the thing you learn to live with, is the two ends being mostly just dough, very few places manage to pack a calzone fully. Sauce on the side has achieved this feat. Every single bite was packed with meat and cheesy goodness and it was amazing. I got the Meat me in St Louie, which was sausage, pepperoni and a ricotta-marscapone blend and it was amazing! Exactly what you'd want in a classic calzone. My boyfriend got the which came first and added chorizo. It comes with chicken and egg inside and a verde salsa to dip and it was also amazing. I love how sauce on the side has many classic options then a huge variety of unique options also! They also had a great beer collection.

The creamy garlicky sauce was perfect with the carmen. These calzones are huge! We came with an appetite and only ate half. The other half heated up nicely for lunch the next day. Look forward to trying the rest of their menu." ]

[ "We went on a whim on a Sunday night-our party of 4 (including one child) were in a variety of attire from shorts to business casual; I was concerned the shorts/t-shirt would be too casual for what looks like a nice restaurant (which it is), but since the FL beaches tend to be quite casual, it was not a problem and we were greeted warmly. That being said, I still would not necessarily go in shorts........\nOf note, we have lived in Tampa (45 minutes away) on/off for many years and make frequent weekend visits to the area beahes year 'round-we have eaten at most of the restaurants (all varieties) along this strip of the Gulf over the years.\nOur waiter, Logan, was one of the best servers my husband and I have ever had-and we eat out at least twice/week! He was informative, polite, very pleasant, attentive-yet not overbearing, as well as patient and funny with our 10 year old niece. Our meals-veal parm (served with a yummy, garlicky spinach side), eggplant parm (pasta/sauce side), child's lasagna and the escargot appetizer special were all served hot and very delicious. Their tomato sauce, which is often the determining factor whether we will return or not to an Italian restaurant, was fabulous!-a pink sauce-light and tomato-ey, with a hint of something I could not discern, which made it all the more interesting. The house chianti was just fine and the chocolate cheesecake was very good.\nWe were all the more impressed with our experience after our conversation with Logan when he told us of the loyalty of this family-owned business-not one of the employees was laid off when the economic downturn struck, even though their business declined; thankfully they survived the worst of that and business has been good for them this year. There is also a piano bar, which was not open on the night we were there, but it sounds like a fun, retro kind of thing to do! We will definitely return because as loyal as the owners are to their staff, we are now loyal to Carino's!", "Overpriced and poor quality. Family of 4 with 2 orders off kids menu was $100 and quality was equal to canned Chef Boyardee", "Very nice employes very resonable price. Excellent homemade salad dressing. Good food, an all around good italian resturant.", "We decided to try this quaint Italian restaurant and boy were we disappointed. We ordered our dinners, Gnochi and Chix Parm. How can you screw those up right? Well they did. Our salads came out first and the one cherry tomato on the plate was shriveled and looked bad. We were served break w/ frozen butter. It would not spread at all. Then when my Gnocchi came out it was disgusting to say the least. It was green (pasta part) and the filling tasted like mashed cottage cheese that was warm. The sauce had no flavor and I couldn't eat it at all. My other half had the chix parm that she said was very bland. She had had better frozen. The service was average and the prices were far too high for what you got. The decor was tacky for a strip mall location. I would not recommend this place. Save your money and go to Carrabba's for some real italian food.", "Liked this place. Veal was tender, pasta was al dente, sauce was good. Will go back.", "Superb Italian, classy restaurant in all of Pinellas County! St.Pete Beach is fortunate to have a tremendous, high quality style restaurant located on Blind Pass Blvd. Outstanding cuisine, excellent service, and beautiful piano lounge. Elegant atmosphere, decadent desserts and the best wines to compliment any entree. A master piece design of a restaurant.", "St. Pete Beach appreciates having an elegant, classy and fun restaurant such as Carino's. \nAlong with presenting a warm and relaxing ambiance, the cuisine is superb of which is topped with delightful and professional service. All of which is enveloped with the fun and jazzy piano lounge entertainment. \nThere isn't anywhere else in Pinellas County that provides such supreme quality dinning experience as Carino's. Go there tonight and prepare to be spoiled!", "Recently visited St Pete Beach and at the suggestion of the hotel concierge, dined at Carino's. A most pleasant visit. The restaurant was pleasant with a great piano lounge open on Friday and Saturday nights where you can order from the same menu. THIS WAS AUTHENTIC NORTHERN ITALIAN! I had the specialty dish: Salmon Cleopatra with artichokes , mushrooms and a white wine sauce. The fish was fresh and tasty. The meal started with a crisp salad with a tangy dressing, delicious bread ( only downside, the butter was very chilled!) and the entree was served with either pasta ( penne with a pink sauce) or a vegetable of sauteed spinach with fresh mushrooms, great olive oil and lots of garlic and a potato croquet fresh made. There is a full bar and an extensive wine list. Desserts were the usual suspects, tiramisu, chocolate cheese cake mousse and cream puffs. The tiramisu was good but predictable. Could really use some new desserts here. The service was great and enjoyed a glass of wine from an extensive wine list with some of the best bottle choices I have seen.\nOverall, a great experience, my server , Beth was pleasant and efficient , and the food, the freshest and authentic.\nDon't settle for less, visit Carino's next time in town! Locals, what a great secret you have.", "Went for dinner last night and had the special \"Lamb Shank\" it was tender, juicy and tasted great. Hubby had the eggplant parm and thought it was just okay. The bread was hot and olive oil to dip in was tasty. They have a full bar and the desserts were delicious too. The best part of our dining experience there was our server Logan. He was a class act and very witty. He took awesome care of us and made us laugh more than once. Would go back again when in the area.", "We found Carino's on Yelp and we were surprised to find that it had been around for 18 years and we hadn't heard about it! We enjoyed well-prepared, fresh tasting salads, dinners, and desserts. I had a chicken entree and my partner had the gnocchi. He raved about the home made gnocchi saying that he wished he had the recipe, and the sauce on the chicken dish was very special. Their trademark vodka-tomato sauce is worth a try also. \n\nWe shared a delicious slice of chocolate cheese cake (which was plenty for two) and even the coffee did not disappoint us.\n\nOur waiter, Christian, was attentive and personable, even though at times he kept us waiting just a tad longer than we would have liked for our dessert and for our check. He spoke Italian to us and we found out that he had actually been born in Italy, which added a bit of atmosphere to the meal.\n\nThe restaurant itself was comfortable and even though the tables were a bit close, we never felt crowded or that our space was impeded. \n\nIf I have one complaint it's that some of the entrees and the specials were pricey. Although you can get a good plate of pasta for around $15, the entrees tended to be closer to $20, and the specials were all over $20. I realize that this isn't bad for a resort area restaurant (this restaurant is located in Treasure Island) but for us this was a bit high.\n\nOverall, we loved it and will return again!" ]

Come on you Midwest Transplants, put the meatloaf and shake n bake away for an evening and go get some great Taco Shop food!", "This place is great! I have tried many items ranging from their breakfast burritos, regular burritos, Sonoran hotdogs, and normal combos. My parents think the chorizo breakfast burrito is the best chorizo in town. I've never had it, but other people say the same that I've talked to. The carne asada burritos are very yummy, nearly all meat and just a bit of cabbage on there. The Sonoran dogs are awesome, but very spicy. If you dont like a really spicy dog, just get it without the jalapenos.\n\nAll the food is very cheap, they have a full salsa bar with pico de gallo, runnier salsa, guacamole, cucumbers, limes, and onions. All taste super fresh and great. They even have all the Mexican sodas you want available (the ones in the glass bottle with real sugar).\n\nThey keep adding new items too which is great. They put nachos on their menu not long ago, and they are great.", "Good carne asada tacos, love the pozole, I did not like the chicharron tacos, they were a bit soggy.", "Had the chorizo/egg/potato burrito based on another yelp review. It was MONEY. The tortillas really made it. Killer salsa bar to go with it.\n\nI'm moving to Marana in a month and planning on supporting this place! You should too. Not sayin, just sayin.", "I have eaten here twice, and LOVE IT! Their 'mexican hot dog' (really a sonoran dog) is great and spicy.

We found Angela's, like many other great places, while reading reviews on other places to eat. Angela's was very clean & low scale - like Nico's. They were very friendly, had a great stocked salsa bar & the food was terrific. At first we were a little leery since the menu selections were not like other places we had tried. But we ordered the Adobado plate & Angela's nachos..both were fantastic. Very fresh, very generous with the sour cream, & the nachos had fresh avocado on top. These are the types of places no one knows about..if people don't start grabbing a burrito..we are going to lose another great \"dive.\"", "We love Angela's. Great authentic Mexican food. The red chili is the best we've had, it's got a wonderful full-bodied taste and packs some heat. Delicious in a burro. Their tortillas are those great, big, paper-thin ones, the kind you can't get in a grocery store. We also love their tacos and quesadillas. Their chili rellanos are good but HOT! Love their salsa bar. And last, but not least, the customer service is GREAT! Please, Marana, help support this wonderful small business by eating there OFTEN.", "Food was fantastic. Definitely a clean, modern, hole in the wall type of place. Recommend the chicken chimichanga and beef enchiladas. The enchiladas had a nice smoky flavor. The salsa bar was great too - recommend getting some chips to enjoy. I don't know what the thick green sauce was but we ate all of it!", "I decided to give this place a try because I drive by this establishment everyday. I had the shredded beef chimichanga to go. While I was waiting, I heard the microwave go off n thought ohh ooo (not a good sign). So I got my order in a timely matter. Got home n saw that they \"shemered\" what either was sour cream or mayo all over the top of my chimichanga n on top of the white condiment, a whole bunch of lettuce n tomato (id like to see what Im eating, not for it to be covered up like its hiding something). The entree came w two sides. There was a side of rice n beans. I'm not a bean person but the beans were pretty good. The flavor of the rice was good but it was not evenly cooked. The chimichanga it self was sub par, not a lot of meat compared to other places I've eaten at. The meat that i did get, was charred w burnt pieces. After scraping off the top of the chimichanga, you could see that there wasn't much wrapped inside. I probably won't be going back n I'll be sticking to my usual Mexican restaurant." ]

[ "Mae's just opened, and I hope they do well in this difficult spot. The last restaurant here didn't last a whole year. After noticing they had finally opened, I stopped into Mae's for lunch, and I'm glad I did. It's a cozy restaurant with an unusual choice of decor, but it's friendly and the menu is basically exactly what you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant -- complete with a $7-$8 lunch menu.\n\nI ordered the Kung Pao Chicken lunch, which came with soup, egg roll, and fried rice. The hot and sour soup was mild but tasty (it could have used a little more bite, but my tastebuds are damaged and it might be hotter than I thought). The egg roll was huge, compared to the standard \"lunch-side egg roll\".\n\nMy entree was pretty large, with big chunks of chicken and no shortage of water chestnuts, peanuts, and peppers. Like the soup, I thought it could have been spicier. But I'm also a spicy food junkie. I was really pleased with the size of the lunch portion, and could easily have taken some home for later (but I overate instead).\n\nThe sole issue is that service was slightly slow, and I think that's just a new-restaurant issue. I'm looking forward to coming back here, as it's now the closest Chinese food to home, and is much better than the place across the intersection. It's nice to have another good option for lunch on the East side.", "Stopped by for a late lunch on a whim. Glad we did - food was excellent and the portions large. We had the sesame chicken and orange chicken. We'll be back.", "Was greeted and seated immediately. Super service. Food arrived promptly. The egg rolls were hot, very crispy, and not at all greasy. Sesame chicken was delicious, I will definitely be coming back.", "Went in for lunch and I can say there is not a single bad thing I can say about this place. My roommates all are on the same page as far as that goes. Great lunch menu, food is fresh and delicious. Service was fast and on point. Wish they had alcohol available but I'm sure that is coming. Really hope this place can stay open, this location is tough apparently. So far so good :)", "The food was excellent. We had the teriyaki chicken, beef w/ broccoli, and the pork fried rice. All of the food was excellent, but the teriyaki chicken was definitely my favorite. The egg flower soup and egg rolls that came with the meal were also very good. We went at lunch time, and the place was about 25% full. The service was very good, and they were always there when you needed anything. Definitely plan on coming back here!", "Stopped by this weekend. Great prices for pretty good food. We will be back. My dining partner had a lunch special that was flavorful and generous. I had the Mongolian Tofu and Vegetable fried rice-loved both. I had leftovers for 2 more meals. At least 10 different options for vegetarians.\n\nI so happy that this place close to home is decent, last place that was here (Mexican food) sucked.\n\nPlease patronize this local establishment.", "My Updated Review: I've gone back a few more times and their consistency for good food it on point. I have to say that their fried rice is the best I've ever had, I really can't say what it is about it, but the first bite I instantly knew. I tried their Sesame Beef which is a new favorite item, the sauce is good and the texture was like chicken, not chewy or fatty.\n\nThe staff is always nice and friendly, and the service is quick. The price is a little high compared to cheaper places, but you get what you pay for, plus the servings are big.\n\nMy First Review: Very good! I just had the Kung Poa Chicken and was the best I've had. I tell like there should have been more chicken, cause there was just enough for me. I used the pepper sauce that was given, it was too oily but added a great kick. The crab puffs seemed a little to salty but were still good. I ordered takeout, and it was ready in less than 5 minutes; I don't know if that's a good thing. The interior was very clean and the staff was friendly. I can't wait to go back to try something else.", "Great place for Chinese food. Portions great for the price. First time had wonton soup and chicken and broccoli. The soup was a little bland. Second time had wonton soup and house chow mein. The soup had great flavor this time. The wait staff was very attentive.", "I stopped by Mae's on Friday night. The parking lot was crowded and so was the restaurant however, I got to place my order right away. This was a to go order and to my surprise it was brought to me in a timely manner. The food was piping hot when I got home and my roomie and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I only wish that they delivered then it would be a definite 5 stars. The wait staff was friendly and courteous. I'm in for going back!", "Lunch special:\nMy wife had the Sesame Chicken, I had the Cashew Chicken. They did not have Almond Chicken on the menu. The Cashew Chicken was good, the soup was good, Their pork fried rice awful. It tasted days old! The Sesame Chicken tasted like it was reheated in a micro wave which made it doughy!

[ "Mint Mocha...somewhat standard, but definitely the best one I've had anywhere.", "Does anyone remember a time when Cosi used to be X and O? X and O was a sandwich shop by day, and then a make-your-own s'mores and drink tasty coffee drinks, happening kind of evening. Dim lighting, lots of long tables for large parties, open late for the overzealous caffeinated pretties.\n\nUntil some people started calling it \"Xando\" - pronounced \"ZAAAANDO\" - and the cringe heard around the world when someone would even suggest going there was enough to bring the evenings of tableside chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers to a screeching halt. No more X and O. No more Xando. No more late night. \n\nHi, Cosi.\n\nSo Cosi did it's thing. The pretties still came in looking for the old digs, but a friendly menu stating that s'mores and pizza and fondue and other former staples of X and O would still be available - just during the daytime. But what happened was this: people realized that for some odd reason, all of those delectable late-night dishes only tasted good after hours. Believe me, I tried the s'mores thing one time at lunch. You try going back to work with burnt marshmallow all over your face. \n\nThen Cosi put out free samples of their bread. By the time you were done waiting in line for your salad or sandwich, you'd already partaken in the equivalent of four pieces of bread. Oily, no grain, obviously very tasty bread. But the salad and sandwiches were quite good and you got your 10th for free. \n\nThen Cosi did the unmentionable. They downgraded their chicken. It went from actual good tasting grilled chicken to the kind of chicken you'd find swimming inside McNuggets. Gooey, sometimes unchewable, definitely not fresh or grilled, but easy to prepare. And cheaper to make. \n\nSo what did I do then? Almost forgetting completely my days of latte sipping and midnight dipping, I ordered salads. And I switched from the chicken salad to a \"make your own\". I didn't care that it was $7.50. I didn't care that I couldn't even enjoy the free bread anymore (I had made a pact with myself that it was grain or wheat bread or I don't eat it) and I didn't care that when I did bother to order a sandwich, I noticed that there wasn't much *in* it, just lots and lots of bread!\n\nI did care, however, when a huge insect peered up at me as I was eating my salad one day. I went right back to Cosi, showed them the salad and my new friend, Buggie O'Caterpillar, and asked for a new salad. They happily obliged...and then charged me another $7.50! When I told them I had exchanged it because of an insect in my food, they were none too thrilled to hear it. And perhaps I would have forgiven the whole thing had it not happened again the very next week. Except this time it was a very small, very dark curly hair. \n\nI didn't even bother to bring it back, and only returned to this Cosi to get a coffee to go.", "Cosi is diiirrrrtttyyy. All of them. Extremely dirty. Ever look behind that \"food bar\", around the bread oven? It's gross. I'm always prepared to see a rat flying around the floor when I look back there. This goes for all of them...the 15th St. one, the one on 12th and Walnut, the one at Penn. \n\nThe free bread is a nice touch. Kind of like \"welcome to our dirty restaurant, don't mind the honey mustard that's splashing into the tuna, or the pieces of chicken that are dropping into the tomato container as our staff tries to work the assembly line that is our restaurant...but here's your free bread!\"", "Only slightly better than Starbucks in terms of crappy coffee. This actual location has a leakage problem. My friend live in the apartment above Cosi and a pipe in her apartment burst, flooding Cosi down below. There is also a rodent problem in the building.\n\nThe internet is very spotty at this Cosi. The food at this one is just like any other. I will admit, the salads are decent, but I ear salad rarely -- it makes me feel like I'm grazing.", "I happen to live in the apartment building above Cosi and after eating several lunches at Cosi I have to say I find the previous reviews to be a little strange. I never found the place to be dirty and I like their coffee (much better than starbucks!) and the tomato soup. \nYes - the staff is not the happiest bunch I ever met but they're fine. Prices are reasonable and the sandwiches are ok too.\nIf you want a nice lunch place for soup/salad - Cosi might be a good spot for you.", "I agree w/ other reviewers, this Cosi is dirty and lacking. I've been to other Cosi franchises that were far better (I love their bagels). The scones/muffins looked at least a month old. 2 bagels and small drink was $10!!", "Was excited to work their Signature Salad into my lunch rotations; very pricey, but the only salad I've found to be satiating. Sadly, with each salad closer to my free entree the quality has gotten worse. I try to enunciate clearly when I ask for my particulars of no pistachios, add chicken, and lite dressing. But if they offer for you to go pay first and come back for your salad, decline and watch them carefully to be sure you're getting what you ordered. \n\nFinally today I found bacon where bacon ought not be. I got a new salad, but checked before going back to the office and surely enough no chicken this time. Went back again, and got attitude from the manager that he'd made it himself. Good, then you can finish making it, yourself.", "I've had so many bad experience here; if it wasn't right across the street from my apt, I would never come here again. Here are a few: \n\n1. Found a bug larva swimming in my coffee. \n2. My girlfriend almost passed out after drinking a cup of their super strong coffee. \n3. They constantly get orders wrong. \n4. I just drank a cup of their coffee and my hands are so jittery I can hardly write this review. \n5. They're over priced. \n\nUgh Cosi. Damn your close proximity to my abode.", "I keep saying I'm not going to come back, but the convenience of being right across the street from work is too tempting. I think I've figured out why I have such ire for this place. It's ridiculously inconsistent. You can go in and order the same salad or sandwich ten times, and get different results each time. Not in the ingredients, but in the quality. It all depends on, as far as I can tell, time of day and mood of food preparers. I've noticed the manager behind the counter a few times lately, and that seems to help matters, and the folks at the cash registers have gotten a touch friendlier. \n\nPS I solved the mystery of the bacon-where-it-ought-not-be salad. The salad makers were flinging the ingredients into the bowls, and shockingly spare particles were landing in other containers rather than the intended salad. Just wanted to share =P", "Cosi food sucks. It truly does. As Cosis go, this one is relatively inoffensive to me. Service is fast, the people are nice enough, the location is convenient in an area where takeout is surprisingly scarce for a few block radius. I find virtually all of their sandwiches gross, and their coffee is truly disgusting. But, I recently discovered the hummus and vegetable sandwich on flatbread which brought this to a 3-star rating. It's bad when a perpetual carnivore has to resort to ordering a meatless option in order to be able to go here. But this Cosi is no worse than any other." ]

I requested it medium-rare and got what I asked for. In addition, all of their steaks come with a side and a choice of sauces and meat preparation flavoring. These are luxuries that are unheard of at some 'finer' steak restaurants. My date had the fillet mignon medium-well and found that it was slightly overcooked.\n\nI also had the soup special for the night (sweet potato soup with leaks) and it was delicious. At $9 it was a bit pricey, but it was a special evening out so I didn't mind.\n\nSince our server was so delightful and attentive, we actually looked at the dessert menu and ordered the Molten Chocolate Cake. It was a delicious chocolate cake with a hot liquid chocolate center and a scoop of vanilla ice cream in top to cool down eat bite. Be aware (not beware) that this takes 10 minutes to prepare, so order it in advance if you know that you want it.\n\nWatch out on a cold day not to sit near the door as the draft is very noticeable and there is no foyer or curtain to cut back on the cold breeze. The interior decor is trendy and feels almost at the end of the line for a trend from several years ago: dark fabrics and paint with mirrors on the walls, dim lighting. \n\nThere was a good selection of wines, but there wasn;t any draft beer (only bottles and cans). The dress code is business casual/urban-chic, although most nights the place has a DJ starting late night, so jeans will start to show up half way through a late dinner.", "Met here on a Friday for a friend's birthday. Not many people were sitting there early though (before 10 PM).\n\nThis trendy and upbeat lounge also doubles as a restaurant serving tapas, sandwiches, and, well, steaks. It's dark and cozy, and not terribly large. A DJ was mixing that night. Two of us were entranced by the efficient napkin-folding method (a three-pronged fork and gigantic steak knife were tucked in).\n\nI had the Marmont salad, basically a Waldorf salad complete with apples and cheese. The presentation was attractive (asymmetrical plates) and there was an even distribution of toppings but it was detestably soaked in dressing. After a few bites I had it wrapped for home (waste not, want not), after all, I'm a food enthusiast!\n\nA reasonably-priced place to take a beautiful girl or two.", "Marmont is an alright restaurant & steakhouse, albeit one I doubt I'll be returning to again.\n\nThe food is fine, not at all spectacular, but certainly not terrible.\nI'm having a difficult time trying to piece together a really god review of the place, but it was just that average and forgettable I suppose.\nMy crab bisque was one of the tastier items I tried that evening, creamy & flavorful, with decent crab.\nI ordered pepper crusted steak tips, cooked medium-rare. In my opinion it came back to me closer to medium...had I known how little pink would be in my steak, I would have ordered it rare. There was definitely too much pepper crusting the steak as well. It was certainly overwhelming. The steak came with awesome sweet potato shoestring fries though. Very yum.\nService had been slow, so I wasn't interested in dessert. I'm not blaming the poor service on the server though, as it looked like he was the only server in the entire restaurant at the time.\nFor one of my drinks I ordered a Kir Royal, which they claim to be champagne & chambord, but I'll be damned if there was a drop of chambord in my drink - seemed more like pineapple juice or something.\nMy boyfriend & I had eaten here once before, a couple years back. The thing I remember about that meal was that they cooked each of steaks completely wrong. They actually had to take the steaks back and start over again.", "Interesting. All these reviews are based on Marmont as a restaurant and not as a nightspot. I've been there once, but I had been wanting to check it out for over a year, unable to do so due to my roommate's pseudo-superstitious fear of the number 222, which I thought up until 2 minutes ago was the name of this venue, not Marmont.\n\nWe rolled up here at almost midnight, I didn't have anything to eat, so this is only based on the place as a bar/lounge.\n\nFIRST IMPRESSIONS:\nThe sidewalk is filled with seating, and the inside beckons you with red lights and stylish checkered-tile floor...oh yeah, not to mention attractive females. My friend and co-worker and I were surprised not only at how many people were there, but how many HOT people were there. We grabbed some drinks by the bar whilst I nervously eyed a pair of PYT's, clearly not there to meet a handsome 22 y/o, more like a loaded 52 y/o.\n\nTHE ATMOSPHERE:\nAlthough I was on a long haitus from hanging in Old City, and even when I was in Old City I was only going to Blue Martini, Cuba Libre, Mad River and The Plough and Stars, I had wanted to explore the chic restaurant/lounges that populated east Market St. for some time. I could see myself getting inebriated and spacing out, forgetting that I was in 2008 and instead imagining that it was 50 years from now. While that hallucination is probably better-reserved for Tangerine, which I still have yet to eat/drink at, but have been inside, Marmont was still comfortable and accomodated my need to forget my surroundings.\n\nTHE DRINKS:\nDrinks were pretty good, no complaints here, either on price or quality. They are typical high-end bar/lounge prices, and the bartender was attentive and friendly if I remember correctly. We ordered a few rounds of different shots and drinks, I was pleased.\n\nTHE PEOPLE:\nAs stated before, we were surprised at how many sexy ladies were in attendance, I suppose they might have been friendly enough had I mustered up the courage to go over and say hi, but then again, I wasn't really drawn to anyone specifically. Just before we left, a few guys and girls came in that weren't what I would have expected of the usual clientelle-- more hood than the others (which isn't necessarily a bad thing in my book, but I did notice it). I think the crowd could be rather mixed here-- different styles, races, sexual orientations, etc.\n\nTHE MUSIC/DANCING:\nAt first, no one was really dancing, but towards the end of the night, there were a few groups shakin it. I don't think the layout is particularly conducive to dancing, but people can definately dance in there. The DJ had a pretty cool digital setup, which he used to play your typical dance remixes of gangsta rap and pop...interestingly enough, however, I requested Alan Braxe's remix of Kelis' Bossy (infinitely better than the original single), and the DJ sounded like he didn't even know who Alan Braxe was...not a good signal to me, but then again, I tend to request tracks that arent jammed down your throat by record labels and radio stations.\n\nTHE BOTTOM LINE:\nIt's pretty nice at night, I think it would be worth checking out again, I doubt I'll try dinner there, but I would definately stop by for a drink or two.", "We ended up on Market Street after taking the Philadelphia Ghost Tour, trying to find a good place to eat supper on our last night in town. Realizing that Franklin Fountain was NOT a burger joint as we had originally been led to believe, we saved that spot for later and started walking up the road west. Seeing Marmont, we viewed the menu and thought, \"why not?\" We waited about 20 minutes for a table outside, and we were glad we did! The entree's were decent, the location couldn'thave been better. We enjoyed being in the middle of all the action. Best thing here was the bread. The seafood is tasty, if not a little cold. They seemed a little too busy and a little too understaffed. Still, I'd come back next time we're there.", "The food here was wonderful! My boyfriend and I both loved what we ordered. I got the spinach salad and hummus plate and he got the chile renello with crab. The atmosphere was great, as were the drinks and locations. Would definitely come again...YUM!", "My husband and I passed by Marmont on our way to meet up with friends, and after walking up and down Market, we decided to go back and check this place out. I'm SO glad we did! We decided to eat lighter, so we each ordered an appetizer and salads. I ordered the Baked Brie appetizer and my husband ordered the Crispy Chicken Bites. Both were outstanding. The baked brie was phenomenal, and the Crispy Chicken Bites were crispy outside, but so moist on the inside! For the salads, we ordered the Marmont Salad with shrimp for myself, and my Italian sweetie ordered the Tomato and Mozzarella salad. We chose to dine in, and I must say that the lighting was romantic, yet you could still see your food well :) That to me is always a plus! I always try new martini's while out and about, and I must say, that Marmont has the best chocolate martini I've had in a long time. It's called the Silky Sexual Chocolate Martini, delish if I do say so myself. The Caramel Vodkiado is a new favorite of mine as well, something I'd never had before, but will have every time I go there!\n\nOver all, I give it a 5 for food, 5 for drinks and a 5 for customer service. The servers are very attentive, and make sure everything is to your liking, or they make it that way double stat!", "My husband and I found this place as we were wandering down market street for a place to eat. Marmont is a cozy steakhouse with fantastic food, always perfectly prepared, and a divine and ever-changing wine list. We eat here at least once a month, and like clockwork my husband orders the 10 oz filet with their delicious port wine demi glace and I order the rack of lamb. Never once have we had to send back our food due to preparation or dislike. The servers are always extremely attentive and very nice!! Recently they have began a Four Course Wine Tasting dinner on Monday nights... For only $45 you get 4 glasses of wine that are perfectly paired with your course selections. What a great deal and the food selections are fantastic!! Needless to say we love this place!", "I liked the fact that this place had such a diverse menu but still have to give it two stars. It was late on a friday, they have outdoor seating which is great but my steak came over done. (medium rare is not uncommon and I couldn't figure out how they messed that up) The waitress brought our side dish pretty much after we had finished. The wine was WAY overpriced. And then when we got seperate checks she still ended up putting both tabs on my card. Oh well. Just could have been end of the night mess ups on the staffs part. I wouldn't go back but if you go......get the mashed potatoes! They were excellent.", "Steak was burned and that's during restaurant week which is supposed to be a time when you promote your restaurant. Slow service also. No wonder the place was empty on fri evening." ]

[ "I had the chance to visit Redemption today. It was a very pretty restaurant in this business that I came to know was called Christians. It looks like a former church, which gave it a very unique look which I liked. Hostess was friendly, just wonderful and seated us right away even without reservations. Note: This place just recently open its actually not too bad of crowd for lunch time. We were seated and waiting for our party, although the waiter wasn't attentive. He didn't come by to ask if we wanted appetizers, drinks or anything. Another lady actually helped us more by bringing a member of my party a cocktail. We had to flag him down to order and ask him the special and he never brought bread to our table. He didn't really check on us just wasn't attentive to the table but everyone around us even those who came in afterwards seemed to get more attention and even bread. I'm very easy girl and usually love all service, but definitely not pleased with this. We actually had more attention from the truly nice guy who fills the water glasses, he needs to be one of the waiters!\n\nThe Food was cool. I went with the Fried Chicken with Gorgonzola cheese macaroni which was wonderful and filling. I could eat their mac and cheese by it self. The chicken was flavorful and I truly enjoyed the meal along with the great presentation. I'm all about presentation when it comes to my meals. I had to try a dessert. I went with their pineapple upside down cake, which was okay and warm so that was a plus.\n\nOverall I had an okay lunch experience here. I honestly don't know if this is somewhere I would automatically jump to go back; although its a nice place to experience for the atmosphere", "An amazing meal! Perfect date night location. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, knowledgeable, professional waitstaff. Can't wait to go back!", "I haven't had a chance to come here when it was Christians, but I'm sure Redemption is just as good, or better. It used to be a church. This is fine dining, and you can definitely tell from the decor. High ceilings are great and the bar is in a semi-enclosed section in the front that used to be a cry room for mothers and their babies when it was church. They have live music on the weekends, although i went for dinner on a tuesday. They have plants hanging here and there, which give it a nice touch, as well as nice paintings. Very nice decor. Also, the who's who of New Orleans have been coming here. Former mayor Sidney Barthelemy was a few tables from us (actually one of only a few tables on a tuesday evening).\n\nI tried: \ncup of gumbo ($6), and it was ok (i'm not a gumbo expert, not being from here)\ncrabmeat stuffed jumbo flash fried shrimp w/ remoulade which was amazing\nFire roasted ribeye ($28) also amazing. comes with chevre baked ziti (not like the kind u get in nyc; no red sauce, but amazing)\nFlash fried drum fingers ($20), which is filleted black drum fish fried. The fish itself does not have much flavor, but the batter is good and the cheese grits that come with it is amazing.\n\nFor dessert i tried Flourless chocolate cake, pistachio cheesecake, and the fried banana fritters. chocolate cake was good, and the pistachio cheesecake and fried banana fritters were really, really, really good. $7/each. \n\nWill obviously go again.", "My wife and i went their Friday night and the food and service were spectacular. We have not been to that location since it was Christians and they didn't dissappoint us at all. \nThe only negative was that the BBQ shrimp were swimming on top of the grits, 86 the grits and they would have been perfect. The presentations were beautiful and the attention to detail was awesome. The soft shell crab was one of the best i have had. OMG , the pistacciao cheese cake was to die for!! Great job Chef, i will be coming back. My last suggestion would be to put a beautifull hostess at the front door to greet and welcome guests.", "I gave Redemption another try. The service was better this time around. Attentive staff and fast service. My meal was delicious, which was the Crispy Paneed Chicken Breast, Pancetta gravy, macaroni & cheese, creamy spinach. I have never been a spinach person, but I must say this spinach I ACTUALLY ate and could have probably ate a whole plate of by itself. The food here is great. This is a wonderful location for a business lunch.", "Sunday brunch and drinks in a converted church? Yes, please! I was sold on the story and the decor, but yet again the food did not match the surroundings. It started off on a bad note as our waiter ignored my boyfriend's drink order and walked off like he didn't exist. The waiter then decided he didn't want to serve us and would rather go home, so he pawned us off on a coworker yet stayed around the entire time we ate. \n\nI started with the butternut squash bisque, which was sickeningly sweet. It tasted exactly like bread pudding sauce, which wouldn't have been startling if I had ordered dessert, not bisque. I really disliked it, but no one came to check how it was so it languished full on the table for the rest of brunch. A third waiter came by and said that fresh baked cheddar biscuits were in the oven for us, but they never came (We did see some biscuits make it to the table in front of us, though). Normally no biggie, but when the restaurant is nearly empty and so is your stomach, biscuits sound like heaven.\n\nI followed with the Grits and Grillades (veal medallions), which would have been delectable if it wasn't drowned in brown gravy. It became grit soup, which was a real shame because the flavors were quite tasty. In addition, the veal was tough and sparse. I am hoping these mistakes were opening flukes, but I am reticent to return at this point in time.", "Years and years ago before I lived here, I would come visit various friends and I ended up eating at Christian's a few times. I always enjoyed it and when I moved here right after Katrina I was disappointed to learn that they had closed. Here's the funny thing though, I had no idea where it was, I had never actually driven there. Last night I found out that I used to live right around the corner from it and I never even knew it.\n\nOn to the review!\n\nIt's a gorgeous place to dine. It's an old church that's been retrofitted into a restaurant. The dining room used to be the chapel, complete with stained glass, and the light filtering in at dusk is romantic and beautiful.\n\nThere was only one waiter working that I saw, but he and his assistant were more than enough for the 4 or 5 tables that were occupied. There was some local celebrity at the table next to us, a news reporter for Fox 8 I think, but I'm not sure. \n\nWe started with the lamb lollipops, oysters Iberville and stuffed prawns. The lamb was perfectly cooked and delicious, the oysters were good, especially for July and the stuffed prawns were average. Also, who calls them prawns in Louisiana? This is a creole restaurant, not a chinese restaurant, they're shrimp. SHRIMP.\n\nNext we got a salad which was a wedge of lettuce with some blue cheese and bacos. Worst $8 I've ever spent on a salad. \n\nThe entree was good, I got the duck and my wife got the fish. The fish was better; flavorful, moist and flaky. The duck had a good flavor but was (in my opinion) way overcooked. All of the sides that came with both dishes were very good. The fried green tomatoes were probably the best I've ever had.\n\nFor dessert we had the banana fritters with coconut ice cream, the pistachio cheesecake and the Mid-City crepes. There were all top notch, but I would have gladly eaten another order of the banana fritters even though I was completely stuffed. \n\nHere's my breakdown for the rating:\n\nOverpriced - 1 star\nHorrible beer selection - 1 star\nOver cooked duck - 1 star\nAmazing sides and desserts + 1 star\nAmbiance + 1 star\n\nI will definitely be back, even if it's only for drinks and dessert.", "I was really excited to try this place and was then so disappointed. The ambiance was nice, unique. The service was great. The food was not good. \n\nThe stuffed shrimp appetizer was described as \"lightly battered\" and came out looking like a corn dog. My friend and I were famished, so we ate them, trying to pick out the shrimp and crab stuffing - the ratio of batter to shrimp was about 3/1 and the crab mixed with the batter. Worst of all - everything was flavorless. \n\nI had blackened redfish with crawfish etouffee, which was cooked well but was overly tomato-y. We had a side of asparagus that was so over salted that it was inedible. \n\nWe were confused as to why/how they took good quality ingredients (shrimp, crab, asparagus, etc.) and removed/covered up the natural flavor.\n\nWon't be returning.", "Today I satisfied my anxious curiosity and got to Redemption for lunch. What a great afternoon delight. My wife, friend and I had appetizers, entrees and desserts, all of which were excellent. Little wonder since I know Daniel Tobar is in the kitchen. He's a rockstar chef I follow anywhere, though this is the best physical plant restaurant he's ever been in. Beautiful interior, the light was just right for relaxed lunch, and the other staff were knowledgeable and attentive. My BBQ shrimp and grits were platonic, perfectly seasoned and not too greasy like some. Of course I miss Christian's, but I shed no tears since the new place really rates!", "Excellent soft shell crab \nCaesar salad with avocado and artichoke was very good. Shrimp de Lago was the best. Oysters take a pass. Little tough." ]

[ "Wonderful and highly recommended! You may also park at BMO next door, which is very helpful!", "When is Yelp going to give us the 1/2 star? This visit on their third day open was a solid 31/2 stars. This is close enough to my home that I know I will be a regular this spring and summer once the huge patio opens. \n\nWe meet after work at the bar and pigged out on some delicious low-carb treats. \nBeing a fan of Mussels, I enjoyed how they prepared theirs with bacon, thyme and Porter. It was a nice twist. A big piece of bacon with a mussel was very tasty. \n\nMy vegetarian friends will love the Cauliflower Gratin. Fresh cauliflower, seasoning and cheese, what is not to like. I thought they cooked the cauliflower perfectly, it was soft with just enough firmness for a crunch. Miss. Norma, would prefer that it was cooked a little more, she wanted less crunch. Either way, the flavor was a winner. \n\nThe stand out of our three dishes was the board of Charcuterie, and Artisan Cheese. \nTheir terrine became a battleground, we all loved it and wanted the last bite. A nice touch to their board, the names of the cheeses was written on a piece of paper so you knew what you were enjoying. One of the servers came over and made sure someone told us about them. I was amazed, he explained how each of them was prepared and a little history as well. Nice touch, TFT. \n\nHaving gone low-carb, I am looking forward to going back and enjoying the 12 oz. New York Strip Steak. They serve it with Roasted Mushrooms, which is so low-carb friendly. \n\nThe bartenders and servers we interacted with were friendly and professional. The bar area is open with a high ceiling which is the original tin, which makes for a loud environment. The music when you could hear it, did not fit the vibe. It was as if you were listening to, KSHE. I will forewarn you, parking is a challenge. There is a small lot and the street. So good luck on getting prince or princess parking.", "What a great surprise! Late night supper on Saturday night. The place was filled, the bartender knew his stuff, our waiter rocked. Everyone ordered something different and each dish was perfect. We shared and admired each other's choices. If they keep this up, 'll be back many times.The only negative? We had to wait twenty minutes for our reserved table at 9pm at night. The wait was worth it and these kind of kinks are common with new places.", "I was very anxious to try this new restaurant, as I had been to the previous bar many times before. First of all, the renovation inside was fantastic. I would not have recognized the place from before!\n\nEverything we ordered was terrific. I had the shrimp and scallops with grits. It was a very generous portion and was so wonderful. My boyfriend ordered the strip steak which was a great cut of meat and a good value for the price. We also shared and enjoyed the asparagus and cauliflower gratin.\n\nI am very happy this nice restaurant opened in this space so close to home. I can't wait to get back out on the patio - and this time with good affordable food and beautiful clean bathrooms :-)", "We went there a few weeks ago, didn't realized they had JUST opened. My husband told my friend & I we shouldn't go because it was so new. We were glad we ignored him, we had a fabulous time! It was nice & cozy & everyone was super friendly, the super friendly of a new place. My friend wanted some basically glorified cheesestick app, I agreed because it came with some sort of fennel slaw. OMG the slaw was fantastic, that app was great. It had mandarins olives and fennel, I think. it was my favorite. Ordered a scallop/shrimp dish which was very good, my buddy got a burger, which the waitress had pushed. I'm not a burger kind of gal but it was REALLY good. Brought my husband home a fried chicken dish. The menu is small, but the food is good and I think it's a great addition to the neighborhood. Good luck Three Flags. You can tell these people have their heart in the place. Makes me like it even more.", "Just had a really good burger on a homemade bun- crunchy bacon on top with really good fries. Service was excellent. We'll go back!", "Live down the street. Checked this out on a whim as we were driving elsewhere for dinner and had heard good things.\n\nInterior is pretty cool. Sort of a \"Colonial GastroPub\" thing going on. Three Flags represent the three styles of food, Spanish, French, American, and has something to do with the Louisiana Purchase...or something in St. Louis? Hell - I dunno. All I really care about is the food anyway.\n\nOverall service was good, if not a bit strange. Didn't have a reservation, and even though the restaurant was maybe half-full we waited for five minutes or so to be seated. Other than that, our waitress was really friendly and her and other staff members kept our waters full, which was great since the water glasses are tiny (which the hostess recognized and gave us extra glasses at one point).\n\nGood music lent to a pretty solid vibe. One odd thing that my Future-Wife and I both noticed is that the female employees were wearing white, just a little bit see-through, shirts with black undergarments. Was noticeable and came off as the opposite of classy.\n\nMenu is interesting. Some small plates/apps, handful of entrees and handful of sides.\n\nStarted w/ the chopped salad, which I really enjoyed. Sort of a greek feel going on w/ onions, palm hearts, tomatoes, olives and tons of cheese.\n\nFuture-Wife went w/ the mussels which came w/ house-baked bread. Mussels were above average, as was the bread. Future-Wife dug the fact that they gave you different types of bread rather than a bunch of one bread-type. This dish was quite affordable at $12.50 or thereabouts for a lot of food.\n\nI went w/ the brisket burger w/ cheddar, bacon, and special sauce on a homemade potato roll, medium. Future-Wife liked it much better than I did. Was cooked more than medium, and was a bit overpowered by the bacon. The potato roll was excellent though. Comes with a couple fried pickles, which I did enjoy.\n\nWent with the fries + cumin ketchup as suggested by the waitress, and these pretty much sucked. They talk about being a \"scratch house\" but the ketchup tasted like Heins w/ cumin added. Fries are one of those things where it is VERY obvious if they are not fresh. These tasted like they had been sitting out for quite a while.\n\nOnly other issue we had was that the food took forever, which isn't a huge deal, but it was odd when the waitress said that our food took a long time because the large party all ordered burgers as well. Burgers seems like an odd thing to slow down a kitchen, and she probably should have mentioned this earlier in the meal.\n\nBar menu looked solid with a number of interesting cocktails, but we were not in the mood to drink.\n\nWas $45 or so for two people w/o a drink, which seemed a bit high for what we had.\n\nWe may be back, but probably not anytime soon. I think they will get better as they age and find their groove.", "Three Flags I would happily wrap myself up in and pledge allegiance to! \nIt is a real treat to find great seafood in our city. Good lord, 4 kinds of oysters! Clams - even better! Walleye, crab cakes, mussels, and shrimp abound and very well done. I could not physically fit in the lobster roll, but I'm gunning for it next. Cocktails were really well done and they have a well curated collection of wine at a great price point. Pretty sure we'll be regulars!", "lobster roll and lobster beignets were delicious. creme brulee had more of a flan texture. will go back.as we really liked the variety.", "What a great new addition to the neighborhood! We went on a Friday night and got sat right away on the patio. Drink menu was extensive with a great selection. I highly recommend the burger and rabbit sausage! Staff was very attentive and service was top notch! We'll definitely be coming back here soon!" ]

Surpisingly, the ground beef taco is seasoned better than any taco of that kind. Traditionally, we don't eat ground beef in taco's. That's the American version. I typically stray away from it. However, this was the first one in a typical combo plate that I finished. Service is very good. However, it's way over crowded. I do not like how close together the seats are. They've crammed too many in there. Booths are better so get there early at lunch time. Also, I'm a non-smoker and did not like the bar/smoking area in front. \n\nPS....stay away from the horchata. It's nasty watery instant yuck. Still I would go back to this place any day for a quick fresh hot and CHEAP lunch. Very cheap. 3 stars for the restaurant set up. Wish I coudl give 3.5", "I used to be a regular at this very same El Maguey, it is always hopping! The last few times the food has not been that great and last time, service was horrible.\n\nI'm a little sad to have to take this place off of our regular rotation, but it just doesn't seem worth it anymore.", "I agree this place has gone down hill.. it's in need of a major refresh and is just dark and feels dirty. Service is still super fast though, even during the packed lunch rush hour. \n\nGood news is, they're getting a refresh!! Moving across the street to the old KFC, coming soon!", "This is our favorite Mexican joint in the area (if not favorite restaurant period). The food is fantastic, especially the queso dip. We don't even need menus at this point because we both have our favorites. \n\nThe Fajita Nachos are a lot of food. A half order is usually good for one person. The quesadillas are great for kids even though they have other kids menu items. \n\nThey should be moving soon to the old KFC across the street which should alleviate some of the degradation of the building itself. The facilities are not fantastic but it seems like a short-term rented building at this point so it's hard to mark them down for that.", "Loved the queso dip. Chips were good also. I had the chicken fajitas to me they were average. Was a little loud, but they also had a live music group that would come to your table and play for you so that added to the noise level.", "Great place. Definitely a do again.", "My husband and I practically live here, and have through the past 8 years or so. They have great food, prepared fast, great drink specials.", "Ok so maybe it's not always the same excellent food. First time everything was excellent. We went there last tues and was very disappointed. Two of the three orders were wrong and the food was bland at best. Cheese dip was good though. Guess its hit or miss here.", "New building is much nicer than the old building (working restrooms ext.), same good tex-mex food, do not like their margaritas though. The cheese dip here is a winner!

The crowd was a mix of yuppies and students, and the wait staff was extremely friendly. My first experience with fried green tomatoes was here: delish. I ordered a tuna salad sandwhich, which was good but not excellent. I like that they used dill in it. My friend enjoyed her BLT. Overall, I'd say this is a nice relaxing place to enjoy a decent meal.", "It took me ages to actually eat here. It always seemed just a bit pretentious. Once we got around to trying it we were very happily surprised. Very good food, good atmosphere, good time.", "I don't understand the popularity of this place. My husband and I had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. His burger was dry and cold. I ordered the fried green tomatoes and some French onion hash browns. The fried green tomatoes were okay -- they were hot and crisp, but the breading was bland. The hash browns were more like home fries, which is fine . . . but they were soggy and barely warm. They were topped with chunks of almost-raw onion and a slice of slightly melted swiss cheese.\n\nAlso, for a place with \"wine bar\" in its full name, they don't have much of a wine selection. I'll leave this place and its barely-mediocre grub to the college kids.", "Jackson's is a great bar that needs to be managed better. They need better seating outdoors and more servers to accommodate the large crowds that they draw. The food is average but their drinks are spot on. Try the Baptist Wedding Punch - it will knock your socks off!!", "Jackson's is the probably the best hang-over brunch cafe in Nashvegas! They even have a plate called the hang-over cure or something like that. They also have a good variety of options for food per their menu is the same throughout the day, night, shhhhiiit all day, every day! =] I've had a good amount food there and they're all pretty good. One thing that was questionable to me was one of their dessert. I forget the name, but i think it was fried cook dough egg rolls? Some peeps like it, but there were several of us not really feeling it, so it's a toss up. \n\nThe ambiance of this place is the patio looking at the corner of 21st and Belcort. The patio is especially nice Spring-Autumn, it doesn't matter what time. I've also chilled inside, but the real spot is the patio. Inside, like many other bars in Nashville, is smokey. I just can't deal w/ second hand smoke, it makes me sick. =P\n\nIf you stick to the patio you'll have a good time. It's a great place for people to eat, drink, chill, and people watch. Now is a great time to go and enjoy Jackon's. so... enjoy~!", "The best thing this place has going for it are the beautiful people who eat there. There is a very LA vibe. The space inside is kind of cramped and hard to move through. The patio is great. The food is fine; unremarkable. They once gave me an appetizer for free because it was the last one and didn't look as pretty as the rest.", "Jackson's is all about the crowds that it draws; it's not about the service or the food. I ended up there for lunch yesterday (it wasn't my first trip there and it won't be my last) because the line at Pancake Pantry was too long. The food is average at best - I had the Ahi Tuna sandwich, which was overseasoned and dry. I wouldn't order it again. I have had good food there in the past. But, the food is pretty hit or miss. The service seems to be stretched thin, and unable to accomodate the large crowds they draw. Don't expect quick service. The atmosphere is pretty good, I do enjoy their patio. This place is better than two stars, but there's not quite enough to earn that third one.", "Great dog-friendly place to sit outside and have some beers and cocktails when the weather is nice.

I also get really excited when I have out-of-town guests and they're interested in visiting the San Xavier Mission (fry-bread stand heaven!!!) \nWell the manna has finally fallen on the NE corner of Saint Mary's and Grande. I no longer have to eat my fry-bread standing, walking and fighting off bees (other fry-bread lovers will know what I mean). \nLocated in a small, simple building formally occupied by a Mexican eatery, the current occupants have cleaned it up, repainted and are now open for business. Other places in town do have frybread on their menus, but it seems as if they're almost an afterthought. Tucson, being so rich in Native American culture has waited long enough. We needed a place that allowed this star dish to shine. \nThe recipe for fry-bread is simple, but the knowledgeable touch is not. In the wrong hands, frybread can be tough and overly greasy. \nThis place gets it oh-so-right!\nHot, puffy, chewy and well...slightly greasy (but in a good way) is one way to describe the dessert fry-bread we tried first. We chose a plain one with honey (classic in my opinion). \nLater we tried the Indian taco (refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheese and a tasty little red salsa on the side).

The owner's son was kind enough to let me have a sample, which I inhaled and then proceeded to inhale the big ol' thing of the meal. The meat was soft and delicious, melt-in your-mouth, not spicy at all though. For a $1.50, you can have the whole she-bang and add the cheese, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes. Real nice folks and you can see them making the indian frybread fresh and hot. I would definitely return here. Very filling and delish. The parking is a pain but it's worth suffering through.", "I think this place was clean, well maintained, well staffed with friendly people, but the fried bread was nothing to write home about. It was okay...I have had much better from local food vendors in the Yuma area." ]

[ "This BYOB serves Thai fare.\n\nWhen I ask for my food to be made spicy, their staff does a great job bringing it out just right. On the menu, if there are 3 peppers by an entree to indicate its spiciness, I request at least 5 (usually 8 to see how high they can kick it up)!\n\nTheir green curry is genuinely spicy - you ought to sign a waiver before trying to eat it! I've ordered their Thai Bamboo ($7, stir-fried dish with beef - you can get it with chicken - with bamboo shoots, peppers, beans, and fresh basil), drunken noodles (with chicken), and pad thai, all delicious.\n\nServers are friendly - our servers (Nui, and another one I can't spell) are always good and efficient. I've ordered take-out here as well and the food comes out quick.\n\nThey get busy Fridays and Saturdays! Make reservations if you want to dine in on those days. This is one of my favorite regional Thai restaurants - highly recommended.\n\nUPDATE: I came here on my birthday and someone mentioned it was - they brought out a cake with a candle, on the house, how nice is that?", "I absolutely love this place. I have been there for lunch and dinner many times. Lunch is always quick. Dinner is BYOB. I highly recommend the Evil Jungle Princess. Everyone I have recommended it to has become addicted! Eat in as oppose to take out for lunch. One, you can get the soup, appetizer and entre for a cheap price. Two, the plastic container they package the lemongrass soup in always pops open and spills ! What a mess and a shame to waste such delicious soup! This is a wonder place with great service.", "yes i am a fan of Thai Orchid, Blue bell. The service is excellent the waitress are very friendly and in spite of me go there just once or twice a month they remember and even remember what i like. The food is excellent. My work place is not very close or else i would def go there every week... Great Food, Great service ...", "one word: WOW!\n\n\nI went here maybe a month or so back as a nice night out with the boy. Due to the lovely economy, money's a bit tight so we were looking for something both delicious and nicely priced. Thai Orchid was it.\n\nWe were seated promptly for a friday night, which I'm guessing had a lot to do with the torrential down pour outside. \n\nDrinks: Thai Tea! delicioussssssss!\nAppetizer: some sort of thai verison of calamari but SUPERSIZED. Served with a delicious peanut curry dipping sauce, made it so delicious. Not overly chewy which is something I simply CANNOT STAND. \nDinner: I got the pad thai, which is my 'play it safe' thai dish and OH MY LORD it was executed perfectly (and the portion size=huge), left overs were borderline orgasmic..the boy got the tiger princess something and jesus was it spicy--but so good! (Charmin is thanking us for that night, ha! for a man who can't handle spice, he loves it)\ndesert: a pumpkin custard, kinda like flan. delicious. \n\nHonestly, this place is the BEST. \nLove it, friendly wait staff...thai coffee is great too\n\ncan't wait to go again!\n\nThai Orchid, you had me at hello!", "I'll admit Thai food is new to me, but I have a feeling I'll be having it more often after my experience at Thai Orchid. We went on a Saturday afternoon and got seated right away. The waitress was very friendly, and concerned for my wife when she ordered the spiciest thing on the menu. She doesn't know my wife very well :) I ordered the drunken noodles, which was had 2 peppers next to it, denoting the spiciness. It was pretty damned spicy, which I liked, but I was actually sweating! The taste of the dish was DELICIOUS! Yes i just yelled that. Overall, I give this restaurant 2 thumbs up, and will definitely be returning.", "I've only been here once with a friend- it was just before noon on a weekday so we joined the business lunch rush. My impressions from Thai Orchid jibe with the tone of the other reviews: this place is elegant, efficient, and reasonably priced to boot. If you ventured here without prior experience or recommendation, you might be surprised to find tasteful decor and a well planned and executed menu at a restaurant that sits aside a Supercuts and Blockbuster. But perhaps the stripmall location equates this gem with a hole-in-the wall joint in a city or an unassuming trailer that serves the best breakfast tacos. In any case, the menu includes a lunch special: an appetizer, soup and entree for 8.95$. I chose the Mussaman curry and the thai dumplings and was very happy with both. I confess, my choices had a lot to do with minimizing the number of asterisks after the dish title- after all I am living in Austin and have developed a fear of the firepower behind those little stars. The dish, at one star, had a good kick but didn't necessitate the waitress brining me my own water pitcher. For those more adventurous and/or with fewer pain receptor on their palate, there were many hotter dishes available as well.\nTo complete my review, the service was attentive, the clientele was mostly business groups on lunch break, and restaurant organization is comfortable enough for groups to eat alongside single diners.", "Come here if you want good spring rolls. Everything else is just about average for the price. There isn't too many choices for Thai in the suburbs, so going here for a quick fix once in a while is okay.", "One of the best Thai places in the area, if not the best. Good service, good food, good atmosphere, good signature dishes and drinks...have no complaints. The restaurant was packed when we got there but still got seated right away. Throughout our stay there and while we were leaving, the restaurant rarely had a empty table for longer than 5 mins. Clearly I'm not the only fan.", "I've gone here more than once with different groups of people. The food is nice but I think a bit pricey especially at dinner time. The interior of the restaurant is pretty nice. The different waiters / waitresses quality varies. \n\nMy experience was positive but I don't think I would go here much now that I've discovered other places, such as Nadja's in Lansdale (not further off). \n\nI'm putting that this restaurant is not good for kids because mostly the crowd that goes here seems to be older folk. Occasionally I see families, but the place is really really small. So the sound echoes off the walls. \n\nThis might be a good place if you were going out for a business lunch because of the decor. But the food is definitely not a bargain. On the plus side, the dishes have exotic names like Jungle Passion etc.", "I REALLY enjoyed the Thai Orchid. I wasn't expecting to find Thai this good in a strip mall, but my, was I surprised. They were pretty busy when we got there, but we had reservations so we rolled right in and got a table immediately (sweet!). \n\nI was really taken aback by how nice the hostess and the waitress were. They were genuinely very friendly and even laughed convincingly at my usual offering of lame jokes. \n\nThe restaurant is a BYO and we brought a bottle of wine, which they promptly uncorked and put on ice. \n\nTheir menu has a heat/spiciness scale that goes up to 4 peppers. I got the drunken noodles (marked as 3 peppers) and asked if they could make them \"at least a 4.\" They were happy to oblige and I found the heat level to be perfect. The spring rolls were also very good. \n\nOverall, I was extremely happy with our experience at Thai Orchid and will definitely go back. Highly recommended." ]

There's even a medium size banquet room for private parties. You're also encouraged to BYOB. The hostess and waiters were very kind, polite and helpful with our many questions.

Then came the doubles which I've had at different places before but I have to say this was on point. Our main course consisted of a few different dishes... stewed chicken, curried shrimp, curried goat, rice and beans, pepper shrimp, buss up shut... My mouth is watering as I write this review. The crew at Flambo does a great job and they took real good care of us. Looking forward to going back real soon.", "Food was amazing and NOT OVERLY GREASY. Service was very friendly. This is true Indo-Caribbean cuisine. You'll get more than enough food for the fair price. I'll be coming back soon enough.", "This was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time. The food was excellent and customer service was at its best. Anthony went out of his way to make us feel welcome and at home. Our food was brought out in a timely manner and it was finger licking good. My co-workers and I drove from MD which was a 2 hour ride, and it was worth every min of it.

[ "Great entertainment, great food, and to top it all off, the decor is really gorgeous!\n\nMomos has belly dancers most nights of the week, and the dancers are great! They're from St Louis's own Belly Dance Mirage. The tables are not super-crowded, so the dancer has room to move easily from table to table. The last time I was there, the dancer came through the bar area with a tray of lit candles balanced on her head. (Remember, tipping the dancer is good, but put the money in the side of her belt or the back of her bra straps, don't be crude! Trying to cop a feel offends the dancer and makes you look like a jackass to the whole rest of the restaurant.)\n\nThe decor is pretty, with a lot of rich colors, and painted tables. If you have a group, come a little early and ask for a booth. Since they're set into the wall, #1) they look really cool, and #2) it's a lot quieter and easier to have a conversation.\n\nThe food is served in Mezedakia style, so small plates like tapas. Some dishes are more authentically Greek, some less so, but they all taste great, and I just really enjoy the whole small-plates style eating experience. I like getting to nibble at a bunch of different things.\n\nThe bar has a selection of foo-foo fancy martinis, but what's at all Greek about that? If you like Ouzo, they have a selection to chose from, otherwise, they have a good wine list. And the mead is worth trying once, though I don't think it's the kind of thing everyone would like.\n\nThe crowd is young, the food is modern, and the place is a lot of fun. Go with a group, so you can order some of everything.", "Fun place to hang out, order mezes (greek tapas) and share with your whole group. Colorfully decorated and it seemed like every table in the place was a good place to eat, there are four different atmospheres throughout the restaurant in this small space. If you have a big group or request you can sit in booths with airy curtains curtains and cushions.\nThe staff is friendly and the food is yummy!", "Momos is a great place for greek tapas. The atmosphere is very fun especially with the belly dancers. Groups can sit in there own private booth in the back. \n\nI recommend the Mythos beer.", "Absolute disappointment.\n\nMy fiancee and I came here looking for a nice Greek meal to remind her of meals she got at home. Instead, we got terrible hummus, taramousalata that was really mashed potatoes with inferior cod roe, and frighteningly bad \"fresh octopus\" (really just boiled squid).\n\nThe service was fine, but the waitress seemed genuinely surprised when we ordered \"authentic\" Greek food, and explained that my fiancee was the only Greek person in the restaurant including the owners, cooks, and diners.\n\nTHe only thing that tasted acceptable were the lamb chops. If you are looking for good, authentic Greek food, move along, you won't find it here.", "Momo's isn't Greek. I don't know what it is. Maybe Mediterranean influenced, but not Greek.\n\nIt was clear from the menu that Momo's was trying to appeal to Midwestern palates. Half the menu items weren't even in the realm of Greece. \n\nIt was also expensive. I might have been more accomodating if the food was good, but it was not. It was downright awful. \n\nThe taramousalata was cold potato salad with not fresh fish roe. This is not taramousalata. The hummus was salty, and the other dips were equally poor. Lamb chops were pretty good, but how hard is it to screw up lamb if it's not overcooked? Especially baby lamb chops.\n\nGrilled octopus was boiled squid. It tasted frozen and besides the obvious frozen element, it was not fresh and it was accompanied by a poor choice of spices. \n\nGetting out of the restaurant was a nightmare. We sat with our table cleared off and a drinks finished and could not, for the life of us, flag down a waitress. After our terrible meal all we wanted was to get out! We had to go find more food afterwards because the portions were small (and much was uneaten). It's not that I don't understand tapas; I do. It's that even for tapas sizes, the portions were small and expensive!", "when in st louis, it's hard to get authentic stuff, and most places try to cater to mainstream. anyways, this place was always more about the ambiance than about the food.\nbelly dancer: mon., wed. & fri. lunches and mon.-sat. dinners", "Momo's, a small Greek restaurant located just a little off the intersection of North South and Delmar in University City, is almost a wonderful little secret. I say almost because each time that I have been there, it has always had a crowd. So far, I have been there twice, and I plan on returning as soon as I can. The ambiance is truly inviting, the wait staff, extremely polite and as accommodating as possible.\n\nWhat sets Momo's apart from most other restaurants is the fact that they have belly dancing, yes, belly dancing. While at first when you think of a belly dancer making her way through the restaurant and past your table, you might not know what to think. But, the belly dancer is a rather enjoyable and entertaining aspect of Momo's.\n\nBelly dancers aside, the food that Momo's has to offer also are quite delectable. The tapas Momo's has available is a teat in their own. The way to start any meal is with a small flavorful delight ready to wet the taste buds for anticipation of what is to come next. Momo's offers many of the traditional Greek foods found here and everyone that has eaten with me at Momo's has all agreed that the food is always superb.", "This is one of my favorite choices for ambiance in the whole city. I enjoy the open-air feel of the place. They leave the doors open in nice weather and it feels like you're somewhere almost tropical. This also means it's impossible to get in. People flock to this place.\n\nIn cooler times when the doors are closed, the inside is a great place to hang out. It looks like a giant mosaic. The tapas style menu is fun and allows you to try a variety of things.\n\nFor dessert, get the chocolate phyllo.", "i really, really wanted to give this place 5 stars, even before i went. it's greek. it's tapas. what more do you need?\n\ni absolutely loved the atmosphere of the place. it's covered in bright colors and crazy textures. there was every kind of seating available from high tables to low tables, to booths, to couches, indoor and out, a bar, and yes, crazy adorable private booth-rooms in the back, which is where our party of 10 sat.\n\nthe food did not disappoint, either. i see that some other reviews are disappointed in the lack of authentic greek food, but everything that i had was on par with what i've eaten at other st. louis greek places. our very large party was able to sample a wide selection from the menu, and everything we had was incredibly tasty save for the scallops (small and over-cooked) and the backlava (good, but just not as good my father-in-law makes). the plates were portioned so that about 4-6 people got a decent bite of everything, more or less depending on how generous you wanted to be with the table. my favorites were the beef tenderloin (perfectly cooked and seasoned), the baked feta (oh, so good on pita), and the chocolate phillo (which would have been even better if the chocolate ice cream on top had been mousse).\n\n4 of us shared a great bottle of wine and sampled a chocolate martini (the athena, i think) that was on par with any of the ones i've had at the chocolate bar (yes, it's that good).\n\none of the most amazing things about the evening was that the 10 of us ate and drank our fill, and once we added a generous tip, the bill was less than $40 a person. i was expecting something closer to $60 or so.\n\nso why isn't this place a 5? two serious strikes that i could not in good faith ignore. there were a couple of flies in our booth (and not the \"i just flew in from outside\" kind) and the only time the waiter filled any water glass was the one time i asked him to fill mine. he did not even fill anyone else's on that trip. he also forgot a few of the things we ordered and while it wasn't dead, it wasn't extremely busy, either. normally those things would drop a place down a full point or more each, but since the rest of the experience was worth about a 7, it only got knocked down to a 4.\n\nthe next time i've got a handful of foodie friends around, i'll be hitting momo's again. i can't imagine not going with a large enough group to get a wide selection from the menu. a couple of people wouldn't be able to get more than 3 or 4 plates and a single dessert, and that wouldn't be taking full advantage of the place.", "Momo's is an amazing restaurant that is top notch in both decor and in food. Doing both right is a rare feat, and really there is nothing lacking in this establishment. The staff is very friendly and is outgoing, and they really make you feel at home here. The different styles of seating is fun, as is picking from the menu due to all of the choices. \n\nThe mezes [tapas] here are fantastic! I love Momo's. I have loved everything that I have tried here, The dolmades are superb, and anyone who has never had them before should try them here. I've had a gyro here, and it was just as great as anywhere else. That fact plus with this place is option of getting the mezes and the decor makes it a great time. Now, there are things on the menu that I am not so sure are Greek, such as pasta, but the vast majority seems to hold true to the food my old Greek friend often ate. I've been here a bunch of times, and have never had a bad experience." ]

We ordered to go but placed our order at the restaurant, so we sat at a table & had a glass of water while waiting. Though it doesn't look like much from the outside, the decor inside is extremely charming IMHO.\n\nThe pan-fried udon is pretty good -- if you like shiitake mushrooms, the flavor of which is sort of overpowering. I don't like them much, but luckily sweetie does, so he enjoyed his noodles. I don't recall now what I ordered (this was a couple of months ago); one of the spicy Chinese dishes -- kung pao, or mongolian beef, or something like that. I DO recall that it was okay, if a little bit bland and not quite spicy enough for my tastes; but a bit of sriracha sauce at home brought it up a notch to make it quite enjoyable.\n\nThey have an extensive menu, & everything on it is super cheap. The lunch plates come with pork fried rice or white rice, & egg rolls or soup (wonton, egg drop, or hot & sour). I had the hot & sour soup & I have to say I do NOT recommend it.\n\nThey deliver within 3 miles for free with a minimum order of $12, or over 3 miles for an additional $3.", "The food here is pretty decent. Had the sushi and sashimi combination. The fish tasted fresh, not the freshest I ever had but it's ok. Got to try their pan fried udon, which isn't bad but could still use a little improvement.

After another 45 min and no food, I called back and they said they'd only re-deliver if I paid a service fee for driver because of THEIR error. No thank you!!!!", "LOVE! My favorite chinese/japanese fast food! My husband and I usually call for delivery. We love their house special fried rice and eggrolls. My hubby prefers the chicken teriyaki or sweet and sour, while I go for the boneless spare ribs or chicken broccoli.

The food is GREAT and they offer $4.99 lunch specials! Even with a 20 percent tip and tax your looking at a meal for less than $7.00..and enough to take home fore dinner. The lunch special comes with your choice of rice (pork or white), main dish, choice of soup or an egg roll and a soft drink. Since finding out about this place I stopped packing my lunch and started ordering out!", "I'm a huge fan of take out Chinese, it may not be very authentic, but it sure it tasty. Tokyo is one of the best. There is also a great upside in that they deliver in the Town and Country area. And on top of that, they also offer a great selection of sushi.\n\nThe food has always been extremely tasty and they have all of the staples. Hot and sour soup, egg rolls, General Tso's chicken, orange chicken, sweet and sour, its all here and you can pretty much guarantee that you will find something for everyone. The sushi selection is also great, with all of the sushi staples, plus a few specialty rolls.\n\nThe delivery service is fast, and ordering can all be done online. I've never had a problem with any orders. The pricing is extremely good, and $20 dollars will get you more then enough food for two people.\n\nI love ordering from this restaurant, and I highly recommend that if you are in the Town and Country area, put this on your delivery list.", "Haven't dined in the restaurant, but we like their takeout. Delivery is convenient, especially since you can order online. They have a really wide variety of Chinese and Japanese fare, and great combos at good prices. My new favorite thing is their Japanese deluxe combo---a meat (chicken teriyaki), white rice, sushi roll, miso soup, ginger salad, and tempura veggies and shrimp for $14.00. Great value!", "The outside is really bad. I thought it was closed for the longest time, but we got a brochure in the mail. We tried the take out and it was good. It came fast.

They run out of chicken a lot it seems... this day in particular they had only half portion of the chicken so instead of waiting 10 mins for it to be ready I said a little bit off steak would be fine to make up the difference. At the register they tried charging me for double portions. Doesn't make sense that since they can't keep items available that I have to pay more.", "Most restaurants I go to I try to order something different every few times. Chipoltle is not one of these places for me. Every single time i eat here i get the same exact thing. I chicken buritto bowl.  One of the great things about chain restaurants is the familiarity. No matter where i go my chicken bowl should always be the same. At this location however it is never the case. I feel the only way i ever get a decent portion of chicken in my bowl is to pay for double meat. Most times i don't even get a full spoon full. I love chipoltle. But this location is lacking big time and is never generous with food portions. I'd rather eat down the street at Qdobas or stick to the millwaukee location.", "Chipotle sings the songs of my stomach people. From burritos to tacos, these guys can sling some killer Mexican food a step above fast food. They specialize in locally sourced food and healthier cooking. Their menu is small but adequate and I crave the burrito bowls with a passion about once a week. I've been to chipotles in both Washington and Idaho and the quality is excellent at both.

Give these guys a try if you're in the mood for some quick Mexican food!", "Well, well, well, I thought I would visit this location with a friend since it was the closest one to his house. Mind you I was first introduced to this wonder of fresh food in Portland, OR in 2005. \nFirst this location claims that a traditional quesarito is no longer free. Typically when ordering a quesarito they put some cheese on the tortilla prior to steaming it and while it steams you order your free double rice with free double beans, and other momentous fresh goodies along with more cheese if so desired. All at the price of a regular burrito. The young man informed me that this is no longer the case, you now only get a choice of melted cheese or not. They do not provide both any more. I have one word to describe this, \"CHEAP\"! \nI have a suspicion that they are going cheap on their customers at this location since I have since tested this and found it false at other locations in the valley. Perhaps someone should tell everyone else or Chipotle at the village stop being so cheap and offer their amazing secret items. I would not visit this location if like me you enjoy consistency with your service. If you have been unfamiliar with these things in previous visits, at least you can get your cheese melted. \nOne last thing, ask for boneless chicken, mine was not...ewww!

Absolutli Goosed offers more than just a list but a reservoir of martinis, with a whole section devoted to Bond girls. The appeal of this place, besides the fact that you're able to order a drink with the name Pussy Galore, is the price of the drinks, nice and cheap, but that has not taken away anything from the taste atmosphere.\n\nLocated on in a popular area, Absolutli Goosed is a great place to walk to after dinner for that night cap, or a place to get started.", "They have some ridiculous number of martinis featured...I think it's 500 (give or take a 100). They also have petron margaritas, which you can purchase in pitcher form. Let me repeat: GIANT PITCHERS OF PETRON POMEGRANATE MARGARITA GOODNESS! Why are you still sitting there? \n\nPrices are reasonable, but not cheap. That shouldn't stop you. Also, the people that work there offer fabulous service and are willing to hold your hand while you wade through the menu (if they have the time...these girls are busy!)", "I cannot express how much you need to come here. I didn't realize that I liked drinking all that much until the other night. The drinks here are as beautiful as the surroundings....and the surroundings are gorgeous. It was surprising to me that the drinks weren't all that expensive. Flicking the Bean, Pomegranate Margaritas, Orange Long Island Iced Tea and the lemon drop were my favorites. Don't worry, I was in a sharing group of people, I didn't finish all of these and more. In total my group of five ordered at least two drinks each and everything was at least a little shared. \n\nThis is the place to go if you want both a fun atmosphere AND good drinks.", "Fantastic. I finally made it in here for the first time this week. I was drawn by Martini Mondays, when all drinks served in martini or cosmo glasses are $5, regardless of brand. Anywhere there's a bargain bin evening, I'll be there.\n\nGreat drinks, though! This bartender knows a dirty martini. Their bleu cheese stuffed olives are sensational. I'll be back.", "I have no problem paying for drinks. Balvenie Double-Wood at $25 a pop? Ring it up, that shit is delicious. Needless to say, I was excited about going to AG, because I heard that it served amazing drinks, and lately I've been getting tired of the basic gin & tonic joints I normally frequent. However, I was fairly unimpressed. \n\nAG's prices, for almost everything, is beyond reasonable. $7 for a martini? Bless you St. Louis for your low standard of living. However, $9 for a perfect margarita? Its served in a small martini glass that can accommodate maybe 12 ounces; however, its served on the rocks, making the actual liquid content to be around 8-9 ounces. I know it sounds ridiculous to quibble over such things, however I refuse to overlook such ridiculousness. Charge me $9 for a 8 ounce margarita in the Shinjuku district? Sounds right to me, because they know what they're doing. \n\nIts billed on the menu as the \"perfect\" margarita, yet they use sweet and sour mix. I believe that making drinks--a mixologist, not a bartender--is arguably as complicated as being a cook. When done correctly, a mixologist can make drinks that rise to an art form. A mixologist knows that a real margarita never comes in contact with sweet and sour, but only fresh squeezed lime juice. Had it been served like that, I would gladly pay $9. Fuck it, I've paid $14 for one. \n\nIn total, I tried six drinks (between the lady friend and myself), and they were, for the most part, all underwhelming. The coffee and doughnuts, and the almond joy were decent, if not a tad rich, but other then that, everything else tasted like a glorified shot. \n\nI'll probably come back here because, at the least, its a change of pace from my usual haunts, and our server, Brock, was very nice and willing to help with information and suggestions. However, when I return, I will be drinking gin & tonics instead of AG's \"martinis.\"\n\nOh, and don't get me started on the fact that a \"proper\" martini is vodka-based.", "We have been going to Goosed since they opened on South Grand a few years ago. We used to go so often that we didn't have to order our first round - the staff knew what we wanted! We have scaled back since those days but the drinks remain top notch. They have fun appetizers and good happy hour prices. \n\nThe drinks are inventive and generally the staff are all friendly (especially in the early days of Goosed!). We recommend this place to coworkers and friends to start off a evening out or to have for dessert after dinner. Our favorites are the Pussy Galore and the Porky Pig in Leather. Sure you will feel silly ordering at first but its oh so worth it!", "Went here the other night for the first time since it re-opened. This seems more like the place I'd heard a lot of good things about. Vastly improved from a visit last summer.\nPleasant, friendly staff, good drinks menu, full but not too-crowded on a Friday night. We only stayed for one round and we ran into friends, so I didn't get to check it out fully, but I'd go back.", "Horrible service, and the drinks weren't good enough to make me overlook it. \n\nSix of us visited AG last night for my friend's birthday. Three of us ordered cocktails, while the remaining three were boring and ordered beer and wine -- it wasn't a complicated order at all. \n\nIt took us longer to get those drinks than I've waited for some food. And, the waitress forgot the birthday girl's long island -- even though we all witnessed her writing it down. We ordered, waited 20 minutes and she comes out with five of the drinks, turns to my friend and is like, \"Wait...what did you get again?\" \n\nUsually I don't get too heated about slow service, but the bar wasn't even that crowded -- no one was standing, there was an empty table in the bac and the patio was closed. And hello, 20 minutes for two beers, glass of wine (you just have to twist the tops off and pour!) and two cocktails? Unacceptable. My coconut mojito was delicious and refreshing, but I can't overlook the serviced offered by that heinous troll of a waitress. \n\nI was going to steal some of their glassware to make myself feel better, but alas, there wasn't a clear opportunity. So we paid and ditched the goose to enjoy the rest of our evening on South Grand." ]
