We came here today for the first time. The reviews looked great and it's super close to our house. The experience started out really well. There was a 30 min wait for 11:15am on a Sunday and the host was very nice, we told her we were going to look around in the kids store (KidStop) to keep our 4 & 2 year old occupied, she was so nice to walk down there to get us when our table opened up she sat us and our waitress greeted us promptly. We took about 10 min to order because it was our first time and the menu is pretty big with lots of delicious looking items. We then ordered, nothing complicated but this is when the problems began....an HOUR went by and we still didn't have our food and ALL the tables around us that ordered after us were getting their food. I was a restaurant manager before and I know that's not acceptable. I went to try to get our waitress but she was avoiding us like we weren't her table. Another server brought my meal by itself and we waited 5 min before I sad anything to our waitress and she assured me the rest of the food was on its way. I told her just get my kids food out (it was just 2 Mickey Mouse pancakes) b/c they were hungry. Well we waited another 5 min before the rest of the food came out. The manager walked by and asked how everything was so we told him nicely and his response was, sorry! I know it's not an excuse but our kitchen is slammed! Said nothing and did nothing. After waiting for over an hour and for how hungry we were I would have expected the food to taste amazing but it was bland and disappointing. We will not be going back for $70 for 2 adults and 2 kids! If you want amazing breakfast food go to Butterfields. Their wait to get a table might be longer but Butterfields food comes out in 5 min from when it's ordered and the food is delicious and consistent. I don't know how Butterfields kitchen is so efficient but Eggstasy needs to take note from their operations and table turn. Long story short Eggstasy was not worth the wait or $ for the quality of food and the lack of care with the manager and server. And the thing that made me most upset is the issue was never addressed or acknowledged. We had to say something in order to get a lame excuse. | 01

If you want a quiet breakfast this place is not for you. If you want great food then come here. In addition to traditional breakfast fare there is a huge selection of unusual omelettes and specialty crepes. Good service. A little pricey for breakfast but definitely worth it. | 12

We were excited to try this, but our experience was less than the \""surreal dining experience\"" promoted on the menu. Our party of two waited 25 minutes to be seated at the bar alongside people who arrived after but we're seated before us. We were greeted by three of the 8 or so people working behind the bar, none of whom offered us any beverages until I had asked three times for water and coffee. (Our server actually argued with me about my request stating that being seated is not a guarantee of fast service.) The beef brisket biscuits and gravy we ordered was actually sausage gravy, and the truffle French toast with asparagus and fried egg was good but not great. The highlight was the coffee, but not even that was worth the wait and poor service. | 01
|
Really neat space, but SO loud. Could barely hear the person sitting three feet away from me. \n\nThe service was super slow and there were obvious kitchen / server / management issues. \n\nWe waited nearly 50 minutes for our food. We weren't offered a discount, a drink or anything while we painfully waited while the staff was imploding. \n\nAt least the food was really tasty when it finally arrived!! Perhaps I will give them another shot, but not anytime soon. | 01

Pumpkin Cheesecake Pancakes may be one of the greatest things I have ever eaten in my life. They are a perfect combination of sweet but not too sweet. This is going to the top of my list of breakfast joints. Eggs were fluffy and nice large portions were served. Nothing like enjoying breakfast outside in the beautiful Arizona weather. There are some issues with service, not fast and not all that attentive but the pros greatly outnumber the cons. | 12

Delicious food + grapefruit mimosas + a bartender that looks like Jon Snow = an amazing Sunday.\n\nI typically don't comment on servers/bartenders looks because that invites all sorts of attention, but DAMN the bartenders here were some good lookin' boys. \n\nAnyway. I'm engaged. Ahem.\n\nMy best friend lives a couple blocks away so we walked over on Sunday morning. It looked like there would have been a lengthy wait, but they had 2 seats open at the bar outside, which was perfect. We made friends with the salty old gent to my right and proceeded to peruse the menu, which had MANY options. I was almost overwhelmed.\n\nWe ordered:\n\n- Chocolate covered bacon: Do it. Don't ask questions. Thank me later. (You're welcome.)\n- Joe P's Protein Cakes: Gluten free! Berries! FOUR OF THEM! (Too much, if you ask me.) They were very thick, so if I had known there were 4 of them I might have ordered something smaller.\n- Chicks in Blankets: Chicken sausage inside pancakes. Yum!\n- Coffee: my first cup wasn't that hot but the second one was, and both were delicious.\n- Grapefruit mimosas: Just the right amount of bitter and sweet. I could have had a few of those without thinking twice.\n\nA great thing about the bar: there are hooks underneath! I always loath having to hold my purse or put it on the bar, so this was welcome.\n\nMy ONLY complaint is that it was sometimes difficult to get the attention of the servers/bartenders. But they were nice to look at so it really wasn't an issue.\n\nTL;DR: Decently priced, delicious food and drinks, but sometimes the wait might be long. | 12

Pretty disappointed. Over crowded, omelet was dry, and waitress not very attentive. Most of the people I was with were not very happy with their meals. Portions were very substantial, that is a plus. | 01
|
Not what I expected. The service was soooo slow and the food was just OK . It took about an hour to serve us our food. | 01
|
This place is beautiful yet the food was mediocre. We left there and we were very unhappy! The food took forever to come out (being with two young kids was not fun with the long wait), our bill came out to $80 with tip ( 2 kids and 2 adults). The omlete was over cooked and didn't taste good at all (don't remember what the name was but it had a balsamic glaze on it). Never again coming her again! | 01
|
I really wanted to like this place, I really did. It looked so cool and had a neat menu. I didn't mind the 30 minute wait for my table, but...\nFirst of all the place was absolutely chaotic! Servers, food runners and bussers running into each other. I watched a table get wiped down 3 times by 3 different people with a dirty cloth that smelled like a school cafeteria. There seemed to be no communication with each other bc everyone seemed confused. I ordered a juice which took longer than it should bc they have one juice area and it was crowded with servers. \nNow for what I really minded...\nMy food took about 35 minutes to come out and when it did, it was all wrong and tasted terrible. Hash browns are made in house but even after ordering them crispy, they came out wet and undercooked in the center. The only thing crispy was the outside. My eggs were ordered over medium but came out so undercooked. Just white slime on top. The sausage links are butterflied and you get 2 links instead of 3 like every other breakfast place. They obviously slice them so it looks like more. I didnt really mind that bc I can never finish 3, but I didn't like the taste. My English muffin was thick and doughy, not toasted. DISASTER! I just sent it back and asked for a pancake after they offered me something else. It never came...\nIt was a complete waste of an hour and a half that I could have had for holiday shopping! The 2 stars are for the really nice hostesses up front | 01

Went here on Friday morning as my GF and I are looking for a solid new breakfast place in Scottsdale. Many have been tried, none have succeeded so far. So we found Eggstasy. Let me say this first...it wasn't terrible. The pancakes were decent. The Ultimate Omelet that we had was very fresh tasting, which is a plus. The food was actually fine. So why the 2 stars? (Really, i would have given 2.5 if I could) I just didn't like the atmosphere. What is it with places in Scottsdale that have an overall douchey hipster feel to it? It a breakfast joint for God's sake! Why the need for the odd christmas decor? (upside down christmas trees?) And what the fuck was up with the 'coffee'? It's some sludge that couldn't be fixed. Fucking awful. The little ray of sunshine that was our waitress wasn't all that great either. Most places I don't think that are that great, I just don't go back to, but I want to give this place another shot. One more note. If the old lady who came around to say hello to us happens to be the owner, please take a moment to appear as an owner, and not some other customer just making the rounds. Nothing about you coming to our table made me feel like you were the owner of the place, considering all I saw you doing before was sitting at another table across the way, as if you were just another customer. | 01
|
Finally a new breakfast place! But oh, the disappointment...\nHave tried Eggsasy 3 times, hoping each time that the next visit would be better. \nThe decor was great, but wish they would have put as much effort into the food. \nHostesses dressed like nightclub cocktail waitresses at 8:00 in the morning? Um, ok.\nMenu was very large and had lots of options, unfortunately it has gotten them in trouble, as nothing I have ordered was any where near delicious. Super loud in the dining room. And very exspensive for sub-par food. This kitchen needs to revamp the menu so they can focus on quality, not quantity! | 01
|
I really like this joint, with HUGE portions and a really interesting menu....something for everyone. I had a proper eggs Benedict and my date had corned beef hash and eggs....the hash browns are delishooooo and the bread is extra special, certainly from a local bakery and thickly sliced. We had to try the grits and they were really good...cheesy and chorizo, but we could not eat them all. Split them if you have 4 people. Reason for 4 stars? Dirty coffee cup, fork, and glass. Nice bright new place with dirty dishes?!?! | 12
|
The place was freezing cold. The service was very poor, we almost got up to get our own coffee we sat so long waiting. The Whole Wheat French toast is to be avoided, it came off the light menu. It is a whole wheat bread in egg whites with fresh fruit. What I got was 3 thick pieces of bread VERY lightly toasted with almost no egg on them at all. The fruit is dumped onto the bread (not mentioned in item description). So what you end up with is toast with syrup. The decor is, well there is none. The walls are all completely blank of any and everything. I do not even remember a mirror in the bathroom. As I was leaving I almost got knocked over by a waitress as she bulled past me without even looking up or acknowledging she almost hit me. I was sad because I really wanted to like this place. I may go again and see if it changes or if it was just a bad day. Oh and the place was so insanely loud and noisy that it was hard to speak to the people at my table. | 01
|
How this place has 4 overall stars is beyond me. I took my son here a few weeks ago & I'm still ticked off about our experience. First off, let me start with the only positive thing I have for this restaurant...it has a very cool modern look and feel, which I like.\nNow for the rest of our experience...the music is so loud you can barely hear anything else, so I opted to sit outside. The patio is quite large, but has absolutely no shading from the sun, it's Arizona, the sun is out 95% of the year! I had to move my son 3 times to try & keep the sun out of his eyes. Next, it took over 10 minutes for anyone to come over & greet us, and take a drink order. When the waiter finally came by, I could barely hear him or understand him because he was talking so soft, I swear he was on something by the way he was acting. I asked if we could go ahead and place our food order since my son was getting really hungry & restless. I ordered buttered noodles for my son and bacon and eggs for me, it took 40 minutes to get our food!!! The place was not even that busy. I will say that the eggs were really good, but when I picked up the bacon, the grease dripped off in a huge puddle, like it was not even drained off, yikes! Now for my son's food, he will eat just about anything you put in front of him, but as soon as he put the noodles in his mouth he spit them right back out, I have no idea what they did to them, but he just wouldn't eat them. I told the waiter when he finally walked by again that he just couldn't eat them & asked if I could I order something different & he said that was fine & he said he would take it off the check. I asked him to see if they could rush it & 25 minutes later, still no food for my son, I called the waiter over & he said the kitchen was really busy & couldn't give him a timeframe as to when the food would be out (again, not a ton of people in there at this time), so I said to just cancel the new order & asked if I could have the check. He brought the check & it still had the buttered noodles on it, so I called him over again and reminded him that he said he would take it off, he then proceeded to argue with me about taking it off the check, I asked to speak to a manager & he told me that no managers are employed there...what?!?!?! He finally got snarky and said he would take it off.\nNot a good experience at all for us or for the other 4 tables around me from what I observed. | 01
|
Just had brunch...nothing eggstraordinary (pun intended)! Hot chocolate was cold, service was a tad slow and Dali's omelette was boring! If you are wanting brunch, there are many better places in this part of the world. | 01
|
Just stumbled upon this place by chance on a Sunday morning. Long wait is usually a good sign. The food was excellent. Very creative spins on the usual stuff. I had the stuffed brioche French toast and my wife had the salmon omelet. Both were excellent and had so many side dishes we have enough leftovers for dinner! | 12
|
Huge omelet portions and fresh squeezed OJ. If only I wasn't working I would have loved to taste a mimosa. The food was delicious; the menu is quite extensive. They have a pretty big outdoor patio that from what I heard gets pop'n for brunch. A must try while visiting Phoenix. | 12
|
I tried eggstacy this weekend and it was great. The menu was huge, which is great for picky eaters. There are a ton of things I could have tried. I went with the waffles, eggs and bacon. Great all around. I loved that the fresh fruit was in big chunks and nothing gross or wimpy like those generic little fruit bowls with Honeydew. \n\nThe look & feel is great. The only exception is the group of tables next to the large kitchen opening, I wouldn't want to sit there, or at the tables that are essentially right in the doorway. | 12
|
New breakfast place on the Shea corridor. They have some real unique dishes with a European flavor. Really good coffee tho it can get a little loud in there. Get there by 10am or you will have a wait. Enjoy! | 12
|
DELICIOUS! really great service and HUGE portions. Very fresh and hip atmosphere. Lots of attention to detail. There is a huge out door seating area lots of interesting flavors for pancakes. I really wanted a coffee but didn't and the espresso smelled SO GOOD. This place is great!!! We went on our lunch hour and it was quick service for a large group! | 12
|
If this place thinks it's a spa, they are wrong. I waited 20 minutes to be asked to sit at a table, then asked to move. My nail tech said all of two words to me while talking to everyone else in a foreign language. There's a sign above the nail polish stating if you break one of their ancient bottles, you'll be paying for it. There's some decrepit lotions in a corner cabinet and a spray tan booth for sale. Yet, they were busy. My nails turned out fine ($15 for a fill) but I won't be back. | 01
|
Went once because it was close to home, definitely not going back. The man who did my nails was rude and said I was no fun because I didn't want wine. Really? I just wanted to have some quiet time and relax! | 01
|
Sooooo I think I missed the memo on this one. I'm a bit confused about all the hype surrounding this place. \n\nMy dining partner and I paid \u00a320 to drink out of plastic cups, eat with plastic forks and scoop our dinner off a tray in a chilly fast food environment. I had to eat with my jacket on (and I noticed everyone else in the place did too, so it wasn't just my reptilian temperature). How is this a good experience for the money? \n\nThere are plenty places that serve just as good burgers and chips for the same money in a much better environment, offering a far superior experience. \n\nThe food was ok. The chips were good, but my veggie burger was only luke warm when I got into it, the patty oozed out over the bun and without decent cutlery or a plate it was a bit of a nightmare to eat. \n\nSorry, but this did not impress me in the slightest and I came away feeling ripped off. If you want fast food go to McDonalds or Burger King and save yourself the cash. If you want half-decent grub then go to a pub or cafe and have a better experience for the money. The posh fast food idea doesn't do it for me at all. | 01

This place the only boba place next to my place, they are good but only have two sizes 16oz and 24oz pricing at 4.25 and 5.50...They don't have that much flavors but it could be because they are new. I got thai tea and it's good... my friends got red guava and mango snow and they really like it..... the place is cute and bright... they also have snack running from 5.95 to 6.95... | 12
|
I was looking forward to a Boba place near this side of town, but I was disappointed. I ordered a 24 oz Lychee snow with Boba which came to about 6 bucks. I expected milk in my snow slush, but there wasn't any. The Boba was 'eh' texture, not soft enough. The lychee flavor was there, but seemed syrupy with chunks of lychee. I also found a few big chunks of ice still at the bottom. I wouldn't recommend this place. | 01
|
Finally a new boba place by my house. It used to be Lollicup coffee and tea before, but I'm glad it's another boba place, probably with a new owner. I love their new interior design, they renovated the place.. (As you can see in the photos). Service was great, the girl who helped us was really friendly. She also said if we didn't like what she suggested, we can return it and exchange it to a different drink. The drink tasted really good but the boba needs improvement, usually boba are soft and chewy.. not all of the boba were chewy, some are hard in the middle. The egg rolls was delicious! It came out hot & fresh, i almost burnt my tongue! | 12
|
Wow. This place was due for a good boba place and its here! Clean and good boba; they even have a rewards type thing that I see all the boba places back in California have. I had the taro but would recommend milk tea or Thai tea for first time drinkers. | 12
|
Went back to Jt boba house. Thought I would give them another chance. Omgad! I seriously wanna slam my drink on the counter & say, I WANT MY REFUND. But me, I know better not to do that. Anyways, went there last night and got myself a strawberry & kiwi flavor tea with boba & jam. I thought I would try jam because when I had it in Cali. Omg, I was amazing. Had it here, it was a failure. Everything about my drink was just a no no!!!! Plus I even asked my boyfriend how was his Thai tea. He said \"" it taste water down\"" then I asked my little sister in law how was her lychee drink. She said \"" I hardly can taste anything but water\"". Fix your drinks because its definitely not good at all. Never coming here unless someone pays for my drink but I probably just get myself a cup of water :)\n\nSincerely, a customer that knows what's good & whats not good | 01

I was excited to hear there was a boba place opening near my house and I didn't have to travel all the way to Bombboba or Yo & I anymore just for good boba. My kids told me they've tried it when the place first opened and that the boba was terrible. I figured I'd give their milk tea boba a try, you can't mess up milk tea, right?! I was wrong. My milk tea was pretty weak though I've been told the boba has improved since they first opened. \n\nI asked the girl behind the counter about a menu item and she had no idea what I was talking about. Granted she wasn't Asian and didn't know what banh mi Or a Vietnamese sandwich was, but better training would help. Why have it on the menu and not have your employees be knowledgeable about it?! | 01
|
I love me some boba, so I was stoked to see this place pop up not so far from where I reside. Checked it out and thought it was pretty swell. I mean, they have a long list of flavors to choose from and they offer half off on any one item to Yelpers who write a review (and no, it doesn't say it has to be positive). If you like boba tea, and you like variety, I'd advise you to check this place out. | 12

Great place very great people! America's Best AMT crash courses,LLC recommends this place! The best boba drink is the house drink very good!

JT boba did great on hiring staff.\n\nLocation needs to stand out more\nInside well maintained and clean \nFood was great! \nTvs inside great for kids and adults \nOverall 10+ stars on this location. \n\nAmerica's Best AMT Crash Courses,LLC | 12

I am on business trip in Avondale and find JT Boba House. \nDecoration is so modern and neat.\nService was very friendly and helpful.\nI tried their Taro Milk Tea with boba and I loved it!!\nTaro milk tea was so yummy and so as their boba.\nBoba is lightly sweetened with chewy texture. Just the way I like~~~\nIf I came to visit this area in the future, I will definitely come to this boba place again.\n\nI decided to come back today before I headed back to LA. I was told they serve green boba. It is so X'mas feel. So I decided to order Strawberry Snow with Green Boba. What else can make it look more like a X'mas color?!!! \nI was pleased by the drink presentation and took the first sip. OMG!! Strawberry Snow was so delicious~~~ : ) I could even tasted the small bits of strawberry pulp. Green boba was nice and chewy like their regular boba. I was fully satisfied by this holiday drink~~~~ Well done, JT Boba House!!! | 12

Very disappointed but will give a pass. After a phenomenal first experience two weeks ago at the new location in East Liberty, our second experience was the complete opposite. I know its still in the soft opening phase but things need to turnaround pretty quickly. The service was horrible. It started with no wine glasses and went downhill from there. the guacamole was almost inedible and the queso was also not very good. My friends meal was missing two ingredients and they had to bring them on the side. All of our meals were very dry. Nothing about the meal was very good. The waiter couldn't answer any questions because he kept saying he was \""vegan\"". He also ran the same credit card through twice. I know they are still working out the kinks but things need to improve quickly for this location to succeed. We will go back but will be waiting for this to happen | 01

Had one of the worst dining experiences in recent memory here. If they weren't claiming to still be in their soft opening I'd give them one star. \n\nThe chips and guacamole were embarrassingly bad. The chips were some sort of store bought Trader Joe's crappy tortilla chips. At least have the decency to give me Tostitos. The guacamole may have once been green but I'm not so sure. The portion was tiny for $6, but frankly it didn't matter because it wasn't worth eating anyway. My rice was dry, my veggie taco flaccid. Their salsa verde was delicious.\n\nThe service was atrocious. The place wasn't even full and our server was complaining about being swamped in the kitchen. We ordered our entrees and waited...and waited...and every time a server walked out of the kitchen we hoped it was our food. Our server headed for our table and let us know that she \""just found out\"" that they were out of chiles rellenos. This was at a time when we should have been finishing up our meal, but instead we're starting from scratch. I explained that we were in a bit of a hurry as we were trying to get to a concert, so please bring whatever can be made quickly. Again too much time passed and eventually our mediocre food came. And it took forever to pay the bill, of course. All in all it took over an hour to get 7 tacos in a not full restaurant.\n\nI am in no way a high maintenance diner and I understand mistakes happen, and I'm completely open to giving restaurants a chance to make it right. But once I explained we were in a hurry (due to their incredibly slow pace) there was no sense of urgency on their part. I won't be heading back. | 01

I had very high hopes for this one: 500+ reviews and 95% likes is no easy task. (Urban Spoon)\nThis restaurant has now moved to Highland Ave in East Liberty.\nFirst, the service was very good. Our server was a bit shy and did not appear to be really experienced, but that was perfectly fine by me: she was very sweet and attentive.\nThe food pretty much sucked. The tortilla chips were very inauthentic and store bought tasting. It seemed like they just dumped them out of a bag. The salsa was okay. My jerk chicken burrito was okay but not all that exciting. The presentation left a bit to be desired: it was on a tiny plate with nothing on the side or on top or anything. More importantly, my husband had to send back his goat entree because it was very cold in the center, as if it had been frozen. When he got it the second time, it was hot, but didn't have the same spice as before and suddenly had a side of plantains but way less sauce than before. In the end, it was okay, but showed that there isn't really consistency in the kitchen.\nKeep your front of house people (although you probably didn't need FIVE people standing around...) but the kitchen needs to get their act together. | 01

We dropped by last week to see what Casa Rasta is all about. Having read tons of rave reviews about their previous location, I was very excited to see that they had moved close-by.\n\nMy wife and I had an unexpected afternoon off, without the kids. I pulled out my phone, and consulted it for lunch suggestions. To my surprise, I saw that Casa Rasta had moved nearby, and we decided to check it out. \n\nWe rolled in for a late lunch and found the place to be quite empty - which was somewhat shocking. How could such a fabled place be empty? I admit we were a little worried... There was only one other table occupied there, but they seemed to be enjoying it, so we stayed.\n\nFrom the time we sat down at our table, to the time our orders were taken, it was at least 15-20 minutes. The waiter was friendly enough, but it just seemed like things were off at the restaurant. Not that I'm always in a hurry, but it would have been nice to get the ball rolling early with some drinks and an appetizer while we looked through the menu. Well, that didn't happen either. When we did get the chips and guacamole, they really did seem like Trader Joe's midlevel stuff. Would have been nice to have warm, salty and thin tortilla chips and guacamole that was freshly made table side, especially since the restaurant isn't too busy.\n\nWe ordered 4 tacos to share. They do offer a broad variety of different flavor options... but... they pretty much all tasted the same. The best ones were the jamaican jerk and conchinita pibil. The seasoning was off, and everything was actually rather bland. The corn tortillas for the soft tacos were decent, and held up well to the fillings.\n\nI guess it's hard to move away from your original spot and end up right next to a tex-mex place across the street. I would have liked to taste more \""fusion\"" between Caribbean and Mexican food, concentrating on really awesome new ideas, and tighten things up. I'm always looking for that next innovative spot which beckons my taste buds, but it has to be good, and it can't merely live off past successes.\n\nThere are lots of \""competitors\"" in this niche, with Patron just across the street and Smoke opening up soon in Lawrenceville - I hope Casa Rasta was just having an off day early during their soft opening days, and I wish them well. We will wait a few months to come back and see how things have changed, once they have had time to settle in. | 01

Another business across the street that I really wanted to like. The service was friendly. They even had live music the night we went. But the food.\n\nWe had both kinds of salsa. It was okay. Chips were a little greasy but better than being from a bag. Whatever. I ordered some kind of taquitos after having no idea what the server was telling me. Unfortunately, they were just not good. I'm a picky eater, but even +1 had to agree with me. It had a smokey flavor in the way that your pap's scotch or dog bacon would.. as if they just poured it on. The rice and beans were okay, but no better if I microwaved them myself.\nI don't even remember what +1 ate, so it couldn't have been great. We even had churros for dessert (told you I was really trying here!); good, but undercooked. \n\nAfter the rave reviews of the Beechview location, you'd think this would do just as well. I'm hoping this might be that new restaurant trouble, but for now, I'd avoid it. | 01
|
We haven't even received our food yet and have been told that they are out of the following:\n1. Kids cups\n2. Guacamole (!)\n3. Avocado fries \n4. Quinoa and cilantro soup\n5. Red chorizo\n6. Red salsa (one of the two salsa options)\n\nWhen our facial expressions clearly registered disbelief, the explanation given was, \""We had a busy night last night so we ran out.\"" So this means they don't make fresh food for lunch when they run out of things?! We aren't here at an odd time either - it's Saturday at noon!\n\nIn this era of instant online reviews, one would think that a restaurant (especially in prime real estate) would make more of an effort.\n\nUpdate: The food is not redeeming. Hard rice, salty beans, and lukewarm entrees (clearly just barely defrosted). They forgot to bring out the chips we ordered. It was awful all-around. | 01
|
Damn shame, this place. I had been to the location in Beechview a couple of times and loved it, but the widely reported startup problems here persist. Service was clumsy and slow. \n\nOne of us had tacos, liked the pulled pork but didn't like the jerk chicken as much. \n\nOne of us ordered shrimp burrito; it arrived cold, and was dry and entirely unappealing. \n\nI ordered oxtails, clearly pulled from the refrigerator and quickly reheated, gristly and not as flavorful as I expected, served with rice in a nondescript tomato sauce along with a couple of slices of good fried plantain. I'm just hoping I don't get sick. \n\nMaybe there is a Peter Principle operating here. Prospects of these folks succeeding in Eastside as they did in Beechview, where the operation was less ambitious, seem low. | 01

You can pass on this one. This is a product of the gentrification of east liberty and should be treated as such. It's fake fake fake.\nWent here for takeout with a craving for jerk chicken. I would have been much better served to drive a little farther to Impressionz on Broad street. The food was hotter than it should be to be so bland. I ordered the jerk chicken but got the curry chicken by mistake. It was spicy but overall bland and overpriced. The portion size was also smaller than you would get elsewhere. The jambalaya was also very spicy but without real flavor. I also tried the avocado fries which could have been good but were too greasy. I didn't try any of the \""latin\"" dishes but I won't go back. There is really good Jamaican food in Pittsburgh but you will have to go to the \""hood\"" to get it. Don't go here for it. | 01

This is the best haircut I've ever had. Adrienne was friendly, experienced, and very meticulous. I'm looking forward to my next hair cut. | 12

Love love love my hair. Can't say enough about the cut, the color and the service. Adrienne rocks! Don't know what I'm going to do this summer without her! | 12

Ein klassisches Beispiel f\u00fcr schlechten Service! Ich habe dort mein Handy im Oktober 2013 gekauft, keine 4 Monate sp\u00e4ter hat es angefangen rumzuzicken. Ich habe das Handy abgegeben und eine Woche sp\u00e4ter wiederbekommen, ohne dass es repariert oder getauscht wurde, angeblich war es in Ordnung. 2 Tage sp\u00e4ter, nachdem es nat\u00fcrlich wieder nicht funktionierte, habe ich es hingebracht. Jetzt sind es schon 2 Wochen sp\u00e4ter, ich habe immernoch kein Handy, laut Info der alles andere als freundlichen \""Serviceabteilung\"" wird es noch mindestens 1 Woche dauern, da es getauscht wird.\nAls ich, beide Male, nach einem Ersatzger\u00e4t fragte, wimmelte man mich ab mit dem Satz \""Sie haben gar keinen Anspruch darauf\""...\n\nMan kann also sagen, dass f\u00fcr die Herren der Service- und Reparaturabteilung die W\u00f6rter \""Kundenfreundlichkeit\"" und \""Service\"" leider nur Fremdw\u00f6rter sind. \n\nIch w\u00fcnsche man k\u00f6nnte woanders seine Elektronik kaufen, das geht aber leider nicht, zumal Saturn dem gleichen Konzern geh\u00f6rt.... | 01

BE AWARE. I chose Overnight Prints to actually get some business cards \""Overnight\"" Their advertising leads you to believe that you will get your cards overnight...as well as their High cost of shipping. My cards didn't arrive till the evening of the 3rd day and I didn't have the cards for the event I ordered them for. \nI have never paid $30 for shipping to receive product in 3+ days, and they refuse to refund at least shipping.\nTheir customer servise is TERRIBLE!!! | 01
|
My graphic designer helped me to order 100 business cards from here. I paid extra for heavy stock and rounded corners. I could only use half of the cards because the other half had horrible looking creases in them on the top. I sent a picture and asked for a resolution. The customer service person (James) kept making weird requests requiring me to jump through multiple vaguely described confusing hoops. I finally gave up, and my graphic designer ordered them from somewhere else at no additional cost to me. I think that overnight prints lost more than just my business by being ridiculous. | 01

One of the most dishonest, deceptive and ignorant companies I have come across as a real estate agent. Any problem you have saving a file and logging back in and retrieving it is because your browser, adobe or flash is not \""up to date.\"" This is the standard, untrue reply from customer service. If you are having this problem select \""reorder\"" and your file will FINALLY appear in your \""basket\"" and you can edit it. To save a file you have to go through the ordering and check out process which makes you think you are ordering your file. No doubt this is Overnightprints intent - to get you to commit to ordering so they make you believe you MUST order and can't save your file.\n\nSecond, the pricing CHANGES while you are ordering. One minute 250 cards are about $35 dollars and the next they are $150.! This company uses every trick in the book to deceive the customer. | 01
|
Will never use them again. Their shipping promises are for the birds. Do not count on the cards arriving when they say they will. | 01
|
I first used this company in about 2006 and have used it at least once a year and sometimes more, for business and personal projects. This year I had post cards printed that included eight photos, only two of which are visible, the rest are too dark to be seen. Although in the past there had been a quality problem, they had quickly resolved it, which gained my loyalty. In this case after several back and forth correspondences I was ultimately told that they cannot guarantee a perfect color match and are unwilling to make it right. This is not about a perfect match, it is about an unusable product which I will have to throw away. | 01

Enjoyed regular Greek salad for lunch today. Great food. Large portions. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Good prices. Friendly staff and clean. Definitely worth checking out. | 12
|
Very nice people , really glad to have them in the area. Great lamb and chicken pitas! Not much else to say that hasn't been said, Ive only had the sandwiches but will have many more. | 12
|
Never thrown away falafel, so this place was a new low for me. I had the falafel platter...there weren't many falafels (4) and they were terrible. Tasted more like hushpuppies.\n\nThe side salad (Greek, I guess) was covered with a shredded cheese of some kind (maybe feta?) but there was way too much of it...cheese with a side of lettuce. Hardly any red onion or tomato on it.\n\nI really wanted to like this place--and perhaps it is good for meat eaters because of the supposedly giant proportions but we won't go back. It was the worst falafel I've ever tasted. | 01
|
I absolutely love this place! Great food, great service, and huge portions. I usually get the village salad with grilled chicken on top, the salad is not on the menu but you have the option of ordering it. The gyro platter is huge and big enough for two people to share. Wonderful little place that I will continue to visit as long as I can get my village salad. | 12
|
I stopped in at Nino's today for the first time. I am moving around the corner from them in a couple of weeks, so I thought I would try the new \""neighborhood\"" joint. \n\nI left unimpressed. I ordered a gyro combo, with greek salad and drink. The price was very reasonable, at $7.95.. I asked for both without tomatoes. When they brought the tray to my table a few minutes later, I immediately noticed tomatoes in the salad. The girl apologized and had them make me a new salad. The gyro was on a \""standard\"", grocery store quality 6 inch pita. The meat, while a generous portion, was the generic, processed gyro meat. There was a very small amount of tzatziki sauce on it, so the gyro was dry.. The salad was again a nice portion, but the cheese sprinkled on top did not taste like feta.. Maybe just a very bland goat cheese. None of the flavor that a good feta provides. And my biggest complaint on the salad was the dressing. I have had many a Greek Salad in my day, and they always come with an oil and vinegar based dressing, with oregano, lemon juice, etc.. This salad had what tasted like Ranch as the dressing. \n\nI try to frequent small, mom and pop owned businesses when i can. But I won't pay my hard earned money for something that doesn't live up to my expectations.. \n\nIf you want some good, inexpensive Greek food, try Greka Pita at Camelback Colonade instead.. | 01
|
Let me start off by saying the food was really pretty good. I love gyro's and theirs were tasty. The downside was the service was really slow. The first time I went I thought maybe it was because they just opened and needed to get their service groove on. the second time I went again it took about 30 minutes to get my take out order. It was later in the day and no other customers were ahead of me. I feel like that location is just cursed to not be successful. It has been 3 or 4 different places in the last few years. It is a shame that it takes so long to get your food from them because the location is close to my apartment and I love me some Greek food. If the owner or employees reply and let me know they have improved their speed I would give them another chance. Otherwise I will keep looking for good Greek food in Phoenix. | 01

Is this place still open? This the 3rd time in the last week that it's not open at this time? | 01

nice hawaiian food, should try that anyway | 12

#1 Hawaiian Barbecue. That's the name of this place. I read on their website they opened a 2nd location on my side of town a few weeks ago. So while we were shopping in the area, we decided to check it out even though we already ate. \n\nIt's located in front of the Ross store in the shopping center near the airport. On the corner of Eastern and Oquendo. You can see the \""grand opening\"" flags from Eastern.\n\nFast casual place. Order and pay up front and seat yourself. The dining area sign says max capacity 50. There were about 2 other families dining in and I felt it was already cramped. The tables are too close together. Barely any walking space in between. Cant imagine 50 persons in there. Place is clean though.\n\nThey serve the traditional favorites like bbq shortribs, kalua pork plate lunches with 2 scoop rice and 1 scoop mac salad. I thought it was cool I can skip the carbs and in place they include eggs. Great for those who want to boost their protein intake.\n \nTaste wise though it's between 'meh' and alright. It's missing a bit of the local 808 flavor and vibe for me.\n\nThe bbq shortribs I had wasn't the best quality. Then again the price was right for what I got. Judging by the Styrofoam boxes that I just threw out when I cleared out the fridge, safe to say that even my haole honey didn't think much of his Portuguese saugage and fried rice. He has that dish all the time at other Hawaiian restaurants and he cleans his plate. \n\nThe Taro smoothie was not too bad and the malasada I tried was okay. It's affordable though. It's just that I've had much better food at other places near me. \n\nStaff is nice but there was just a bit of a language barrier and ordering was a tad difficult. \n\nThe family that owns this place just opened a new Chinese restaurant next door though. Maybe I'll give that place a shot the next time I ever in the area. Cool points for having delivery service! Im just not in no rush though for the dine in part. | 01

Typical copy cat Hawaiian food with similar menu of L&L but terrible greasy food and customer service. Save your good money and good stomach space for better food elsewhere. Still want HI food nearby, try L&L at Flamingo m Maryland. | 01
|
Their name is \""#1 Hawaiian food\"" yet no one working there is Hawaiian. The food IS NOT Hawaiian. The girl upfront can't even answer your questions. My friend asked her if the chicken on the spicy chicken plate was breaded and she didn't know what we were talking about. The rice isn't sticky, it's hard, macaroni salad is bland, it's literally just Asian food trying to be Hawaiian. Ross J's is still #1 in town along with Aloha Specialties. This place is over priced and not authentic. | 01

First trip to El Tataki. Atmosphere is trendy and nicely laid but, but feels unfinished and somewhat confused. For example, white linens, polished concrete floors and walls, great mix of music at a great volume for conversation, but 5 TVs playing football. Are you trendy and a bit upscale or a sports bar? Also, a giant heater laying on the floor and a neon open sign hanging from a nail in the ceiling with an extension cord running down the window make it feel like it is just unfinished. \nThe food looks a bit messy. My wife ordered shrimp tacos. They were supposed to be just shrimp and pico de gallo. The tacos were a mess of chopped shrimp and sauteed pico de gallo. Pico should not be cooked and shrimp should not be chopped in a taco. The tacos were served with fried rice which was crunchy salty yet lacking any real flavor.\nI ordered a California roll, spicy tuna roll, and BSCR roll (a California roll with baked scallops on top). I ate on piece of the california roll and stopped. The rice was not sushi rice, the filling was pasty and tasted of mayonase. The paper was tough and old as though the roll had been made the prior day. If they can't get a california roll correct, I'm not gonna try the tuna.\nOverall, we left our meal unfinished and will not be back. Very disappointing as the concept is very cool and the menu looks like it should be good. Oh well. Maybe they will make some changes and improvements to the quality and presentation of the food and we'll try again in the future. | 01
|
Came here just by chance and it was great I had the cielo mar y tierra roll and my wife had the tres quesos roll. Service was great and we will be back again. | 12

What an experience! Let me start off by mentioning how cute the place is inside. The decor is really sheek and elegant with table cloths and big open windows. And then there's the food.... I got edamame, firecracker jalape\u00f1os and the mexican roll. I like spicy food and the sushi chef was more than happy to accommodate. He also told me he could do any traditional roll as well, but im not a traditional type of person so I went with a specialty roll. His roll was beautifully put together with a nice presentation. The firecracker jalape\u00f1os were excellent! Whole jalape\u00f1os cut in fourths and deep fried with cream cheese with a very nice sauce served on top (and not too much). On the side I was given an excellent mixed ponzu sauce that went great with everything! My waiter was very attentive and pleasant! Not one complaint with the service! The owner was behind the bar and very friendly as well. Overall it was a great choice to eat! | 12
|
This place has a great concept. You can get a burrito and a sushi roll in one stop. The food was good and the waiter was attentive and nice. I wish they had some type of happy hour menu for lunch or something and they need to get horchata! | 12
|
From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted by very friendly and welcoming service, the waiter took the time to ask if I had any questions about the menu and to recommend a few items. My drink order was taken very promptly and i was offered complimentary miso soup that was to die for. I decided to try a new roll tonight I went with the \""Culichi Roll\"" the plate was very presentable and I was highly pleased with the flavor. Truly do recommend this new restaurant if your in the mood for sushi or Mexican food. Will definitely be returning with more friends :) | 12
|
Came here tonight with some friends and so glad we did! It wasn't a busy night for them, I don't know if it's just because it's a weekday or in a bad location. \n\nBut anyways, service was great the entire time we were there. No complaints at all, and thanks to our waiter for being so patient and giving us recommendations. We got 5 rolls for 5 people and we were stuffed. Here's what we got: (I might have forgotten some names...)\n\nGuamuchilito Roll- SO GOOD!\nGila Monster Roll- Very good, too rich to eat the whole roll by yourself though\nMileno Roll- Ehh...It's alright. Didn't know what I was eating really, and too cheesy\nVegas Roll- SO GOOD!\nMexican Roll- Good, a little spicey\n\nThe Vegas and Guamuchilito were my favorite tonight!!! MMM yummy rolls :)\n\nTheir credit card machines wasn't working, so they had to call it in, so it took a while for them to check us out, but we weren't in a hurry anyways. Also, it would be nice if they offer happy hour..I would go much more often! :)\n\nI would definitely recommend this place! Go give it a try! | 12
|
Terrible service. Not a busy night and the waitress took for ever to take out orders. Waitress did not no what alcohol was served. Waitress was rude, owner was rude. | 01
|
The restaurant was empty an hour after the football game. This is a bad sign. We waited 30 min for our food. Our food was cold. One member of our party did not receive his meal with the remainder of the group. When the group complained the server said \""the cook is new and is messing everything up.\"" We paid for our drinks and left. Worst service ever. Horrible food. Several other parties walked out as well. Do not waste your time. Walk across the street to Gordon Biersch. | 01
|
Traffic was bad after the game. Decided to wait it out at this restaurant in the mean time. I would advise to just stay in your car or walk across the street to Gordon. Took an hour to get food and only got asked if we needed a round of beer once. My dad never even received his food. I understand when it's busy but the restaurant was almost empty. Upon receiving the food it was all ice cold. We told the gentlemen to take it all back and he said the cook is screwing everything up tonight. We told him to bring our check and we weren't paying for this garbage. Another server dropped off the check and didn't say a word about the crappy food or service. A lot of the restaurants on this side of the road are out of business this one will be close behind. There were many others that got up and left with no management intervention. | 01

Very cool fusion sushi place! Good food and good service. Definitely worth the stop. | 12

Visited for the first time today... Stopped in today for a couple California Rolls. Was in a rush to get back home for an online training class so I asked for them to go. Got home & they'd only given me the rolls. NO ginger, wasabi or anything. It occurred to me that perhaps this being a spot with sushi variations that perhaps they don't have it but I called anyway to ask. Server said that they DO have it, but only if you're dining in. :-0 I guess she heard the disappointment in my voice so she offered to pack some up if I wanted to come back. So we drove back & got the Ginger, Wasabi & Soy. Finally got back home & ate. Utterly disappointed. The nori was soggy & like, wilted & the flavor was more pungent than I've had before & because the rice was bland it really stood out. The wasabi was also horribly bland. No bite at all - the ginger had more punch than the wasabi! I always thought it was difficult to screw up a California roll, but I guess I was wrong! Some of the other menu items looked interesting though so I'm willing to trust that I just ordered too simple & am willing to try again with one of their specialties. That said - I won't make an effort to go again because the service sucked. I REALLY hate being inconvenienced for something I'm paying for. | 01
|
Use to be a small business fan of this place but our waitress(salene) was too busy flirting with the other customers to help us. The owner is related to her so our complaint went unresolved. I've spent too much money there to be treated so disrespectfully. Will never go back! | 01
|
So I sit down and get an ice cold dos xx to get started after a stressed out day. My day was already getting better. The miso soup was delicious, The bartender recommends a roll called \""limon roll\"" and it was like he knew my taste buds. AMAZING!!!!!!! This roll didn't need Anything else, no soy, no sauce, no nothing. I get another beer, drink a glass of water, and I was on my way. Good experience I recommend this place to anyone that likes sushi or Mexican food (the tacos looked good) lol | 12

Two nights ago feeling lazy about cooking, I was trying to decide where to dine that evening. I had thought about the new place, Jacques, but decided on the tried & true Woolghans in the Rampart casino. Mistake! While the food is serviceable, the service has gone downhill ! Long story short: I was suffering from diner's remorse for having overpaid for fish & chips and bad service. Tonight, I dined @ Jacques . I ordered the seafood pasta. The serving was generous, the pasta & seafood perfectly cooked, the tomato sauce was flavorful and light without overwhelming the pasta. The price point with beverage and tip ran shy of $13....I felt redeemed from my bad dining choice of the previous night. While this is not a full service restaurant, the staff were pleasant and earnest in making a good impression-although I believe one staff person's question of whether I was having fun, I think, meant to ask how I was enjoying my meal. The decor is light and modern-a comfortable space. It is exactly where you would want to go for a meal at the end of a busy work day or a simple evening out. Jacques cafe is a no muss, no fuss, solid type of place. No diner's remorse here......I will be back! | 12
|
I had high hopes for Jacque's and it's great location. Went for lunch with 4 friends. The place is clean and tidy with decent new decor and ample seating, better use of space and decor than the last tenant, but held-over floor planning on the entry is confusing. Here are the challenges that lead to this rating, in order of occurrence. I hope they can fix them.\n\n1. They seated us, then waited until we asked to send us back to the front where we were to order our own food at something of a counter, despite lots of wait staff. Because the 'order yourself' Chipotle-style was not clear, it was aggravating.\n\n2. There is no French food here. The entire menu is variations on the American theme. The categorization of French is a mistake.\n\n3. Cappuccinos were served in big coffee mugs, basically a weak, too-much-milk latte with a little foam on top.\n\n4. \""Asian Burger\"" was a dry, unseasoned small piece of lean ground beef that had been brushed with some kind of tempura or soy. Nothing else asian about it. \n\n5. \""Salmon Burger\"" was dry, sparsely seasoned deep fried piece of fish on a bun with some lettuce.\n\n6. SERVICE: \n\nWhen one of our party asked them to fix the far-from-correct cappuccino, she was told \""I'll have to charge you for that.\"" \n\nWhen we were asked how everything was, we politely began to voice that the salmon sandwiches were not satisfactory (dry), but got hushed by the wait staff who told us \""I had it yesterday and it was good.\"" No offer of any kind to fix anything.\n\nSUGGESTIONS:\n\nJust take the orders at the tables and be done with it. We ran up to the counter several times, sometimes while the wait staff was also arriving at the table.\n\nGet a barrista\n\nAdd some French food\n\nSeasoning, seasoning, seasoning\n\nTrain wait staff in customer service and satisfaction\n\nOverall, completely underwhelming to all in our party. We were disappointed and hope the bugs can be worked out, as we'd love to return if they do. | 01

This is based only on one lunch time visit. \nThe line to order was short and quick. \nAs I had never been before I needed to scan the menu options for lunch. There is a small menu, but I prefer that. Too many choices become overwhelming.\nI settled on the brisket sandwich. It seemed that maybe the ingredients would not taste good together, but they tasted great.\nThe sandwich had brisket that was very tender with great flavor, sauerkraut, peppers, and cheese. I believe and aioli as well. The sandwich was delicious, the bread crunchy.\nIt comes with either a side salad or French fries. I chose the fries. \nIt was a lot of food. I ate half the sandwich, not many fries, they were good seasoned well. Just too filling.\nThe service was efficient. \nI look forward to going back to try another item from the lunch menu. \nThe prices were on point with the other places in the area. | 12

We were super busy at work yesterday so our employer decided to treat us to \""Free Food Friday\"". So we chose Jacques Cafe. Once I got everyone's order, I proceeded to call it in. Whoever took my order, was very friendly but it was as if she was not paying any attention to my order. I was asked to repeat my order a few times and she kept apologizing, saying that her \""mind is drawing blanks right now\"". Here is what we ordered and what we received:\n1-Brisket Sandwich with mixed greens-\n1-Summerlin Soup-tasty soup, but was a little too thin for my liking.\n1-Caesar Salad with Chicken (add avocado, add bacon & add Asiago Cheese)-all we got was a Caesar salad with some Chicken. None of the \""add-ons\"" were added to the salad. But yet it was added to our receipt.\n2-East West Salad (add Chicken & bread on the side) No bread but the salad was very good. I enjoyed the crispy chickpeas and dressing. However, If I ever order this salad again, I will get it without the Shitake Mushrooms!! Totally made my salad smell like feet!! \nNot too excited for this place now that Ive tried it, but \nI have given second chances before. | 01

2nd visit. Great food menu when I visited the 1st time! However, probably never ever going to sit at the bar ever again. Bartender had the bar skills of a 10 year old. I sat at the bar, took the bartender 5 minutes to acknowledge me. I was the only one at the bar. Then when he finally acknowledged me, asked what I would like. I asked if he had any Moscato. He had no idea what that was. Then the phone rings, he answers then leaves me for ten minutes without taking my order. Then a server & a chef also passed by me asking if I needed anything. I told them I'd like to place an order as the bartender deserted me after I got trumped by a phone call that he took. They both giggled then moved on. What? Who trained them? Lack of customer service in a customer service, hospitality oriented city? Terrible! | 01
|
Drive in burger is absolutely delicious.. So much flavor! Sweet potato fries are on point. Not a fan of milkshakes but the peanut butter crunchy milkshake will make convert. Overall it's good, decent pricing and staff are friendly. Plus they have the cutest mason jars. | 12
|
I've been here four times. Visits: 1) the food was tasty and quick. 2) This time I ordered carry out. When I got home food was missing from the order. 3) Ordered at the front desk. The food came out but was plated instead of to-go. After waiting nearly 10 minutes for the food to be boxed as originally requested I went to the counter to ask them what's up. The shaved headed cook in the kitchen wasn't happy with his staff and was telling then it took too long. I appreciated his acknowledgement and couldn't have agreed more. 4) Tonight I sat at the bar to order a beer and place a carry out order for my family. I was ignored by the blonde chick behind the bar for nearly 10 minutes while she focused solely on making a single smoothie for another customer. Not even as much as a smile or a \""Hello, I'll be right with you.\"" I walked out and am now waiting at Vintner Grill for my carry out order to appear. Fix your staff and you'll have a good place. Until then, I'm done. | 01
|
Glad there's a healthy place nearby!!! \nMy beau surprised me with a nice meal after work from Jacques. This is what he ordered: \n-tofu avocado taco\n-garden burger\n-sweet potato fries\n-frozen yogurt with berries\n\nTofu tacos were delicious!!! Almost tasted like fish tacos! I could seriously eat those all day. Seasoning was just right especially when you add some lemon juice.\nGarden burger was also really good, although my only complaint was that the patty was too salty and a bit mushy. Wish that it was somewhat crispy to give the burger some texture.\nSweet potato fries were average, nothing special here.\nFrozen yogurt was great! But be warned... It doesn't taste like your average froyo, it tastes like actual yogurt that's still a touch sour, but is neutralized by the berry sauce or mochi that you add. I personally liked it, but then again I like \""different\"" tastes.\n\nJacques cafe was tasty and I'll definitely be back to try more of their dinner portion like pasta and short ribs. They also have a lunch menu that's under $10 so super affordable. And if your health conscious, all their foods are labeled with V (vegan) GF (gluten free) A (ginger aioli). Good job, boyfriend!!! | 12

This could be a great place if they find a focus for their restaurant. I thought it was a French style coffee shop because of the name. They did have some French pastries, but the very small coffee selection menu was difficult to find, on a small chalkboard behind the register. They did not have an expansive coffee drink menu that you would expect from a \""cafe\"". The food selection was also scattered. There was a few French items (the name \""Jacques\"" imparts it's a French place), but also pastas, sandwiches and burgers. It's very nice inside and the staff were great, but I'm not really sure what this place is. | 01
|
Ordered salad and sweet potato fries, got 2 orders reg fries. Order taker could not tell me what was in veggie sandwich...said peppers, onions, lettuce and tomato. Wish small plates were available at lunch. Desperately in need of a manager on floor to oversee things and greet guest and tell them ordering process... People walk in and kinda wander around trying to figure out what to do. All the food was good so I think it's a case good back of house management but poor front of house. I sent an email to address on menu. got no response.. no webpage either...not smart in these times! | 01
|
Nice decor. The food is bland and super mediocre. Portions are small and overpriced. The menu is odd. It's a shame because the spot looks great, too bad the food doesn't match. Would love another non-chain spot. | 01
|
I was excited to see they had spring rolls. I asked if they were NOT fried and wrapped in rice paper, and I was told they were. When they arrived at the table, they were deep fried, in fact everything was deep fried. How is this considered healthy? I had a couple of bites before my stomach got queasy; I won't be back. I gave an extra star for the staff was nice & friendly. | 01
|
Giving two stars based on the food, location (walking distance from my house) and the decor are amazing... If it weren't for these things Id give negative stars, I've eaten here twice now and had very different experiences...\n\nA few days ago I came here for the first time and brought my mom and Andy. We were very impressed with the rustic decor and the outside setting. It's absolutely beautiful on the patio. \nWe had the butternut soup, that was phenomenal. Butternut squash with creme frise and leeks for garnish. \nFor entrees we each had a different sandwich, I had the bbq brisket. I was expecting a bbq sauce since that's what the cashier told us.. but none of the less it was still great.\nAndy had the Pastrami sandwich which also was missing a sauce bit once we put their housemade Dijon mustard on it the sandwich was great. \nThe sweet potato fries are great as well! \n\nNow for the second trip...\n\nCame in last night (Tuesday around 7pm) and sat at the bar. We never received service, we waited about 10 minutes before we went up to the cashier. The girl told us the bartender never showed up so we had to order at the register. We ordered the calamari, shrimp tacos, and the butternut soup. I asked the girls (two blonde girls and one brunette) if there were any nuts in the tacos or the calamari. I AM DEATHLY ALLERGIC to tree nuts and peanuts. I've been admitted to the hospital twice with my throat closing due to my allergy. No one knew so they asked the cooks. They just shrugged and said there wasn't. When I asked if they were certain (i had forgotten my epipen at home because we walked to the restaurant) they started laughing at me. \nWe also ordered the Apricot Cider, so we took our drink and headed outside. When our food arrived we noticed the calamari was accompanied with a green sauce. The brunette told us it was a parsley sauce. We also noticed there weren't any leeks on the butternut soup... That made the soup very bland without the added flavor. \nWhen I tried a piece of Calamari dipped in the parsley sauce it really tasted like pesto. Andy and I headed inside to ask about it. Because pesto 90% of the time is made with Pine nuts. We were told yes it was pesto. Andy dialed 911 because no one knew if there were nuts in the pesto. NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE RESTAURANT KNEW. Then when I told the brunette girl my throat would literally close she LAUGHED and said oh don't be a drama queen, no it won't. ....\n\nWhat can I even say about that. 20 minutes later we finally found out the pesto was nut free. After me having a full blown freak out panic attack it completely ruined my experience here. When asked if they could bring us ice cream on the house we declined and the blonde girl asked what could she bring us and I jokingly said another drink, she immediately brought us another bottle of apricot cider with a receipt. Then said we could pay for that anytime. \n\nNow, I've worked in the service industry since I was 14. (13 Years now...) My professional opinion and advice is this, TRAIN YOUR STAFF. Especially the cooks. I can forgive a ditzy cashier girl but I can't forgive a \""chef\"" that has no idea what they're cooking. Hire a manager to oversee daily operations and handle guest issues. If this would have happened to anyone else I'm sure they wouldn't have been as nice as Andy and I. \n\nI want to come back. I liked the food and you can't beat the location. But these kinks need to be worked out before they kill someone, because no one is trained or held accountable. | 01

This is a cute cafe with organic food and a very relaxed atmosphere. You also have the option to dine outside which makes your experience even more relaxing. Most of the menu items are gluten free and vegan which makes it a very healthy dining option. During lunch they offer combos, soup and salad or sandwich with soup or salad. I tried the summerlin soup which was just ok. However, the chicken sandwich was great, I would totally recommend it. They also have a yummy selection of pastries and gelato! The customer service is great, they definitely try the best to connect with their customers and make you feel welcomed. \n Apparently they are also open for dinner! | 12

I loved Jacque's restaurant from the moment I walked in. The food is organic, non GMO, hormone free and delicious! The counter service was great because they follow up with you after the order is placed. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. The restaurant looks amazing and the patio is gorgeous. I find it funny that there are so many reviews that talk about the lack of French food. I don't know where they are getting the idea that it's a French restaurant. It even says, \""casual american bistro\"" in several places. Maybe they have a reading problem. I love the fact that they keep costs down by not employing waiters because you get the service without the cost. I asked for several things over the course of my meal and got everything in a quick and efficient manner. I will be returning for dinner and many days to come. Great job! | 12

the place looks good and the prices make you believe you are in for a culinary treat. you're not. went today for sunday brunch. small and scattered menu with nothing that stands out as a must try. I opted for scrambled eggs. I specifically asked that they be prepared soft and was assured they would be. when they came out they were clearly overcooked as evidenced by the brown crust throughout and the unappetizing rubber texture. the cashier that took my order asked if they were ok and she offered to have them replaced (I added a star for her efforts). the new eggs that came out were equally bad as they were partially cooked and partially raw. eggs are very hard to cook properly, however, there are literally thousands of youtube videos that show proper technique. It can be done. my companion's omelet was equally overcooked. watch Jacques Pepin cook an omelet. that's how it's done. we also shared this thing that was a crabcake baked into some kind of pancake. it was just weird. way too much breading and the crabcake inside was blah. | 01

Here on a Sunday morning. Not very crowded Nicely decorated, we enjoyed the ambiance and music. The menu said brunch and we were a bit confused thinking the LV buffet trough. But you order off a streamlined me it. \nThe Benedict had the freshest sauce I've ever tasted. The ham and egg omelet came with potatoes and fresh fruit. Very tasty. \nThe staff is very friendly and helpful. \nWe will have to try lunch and dinner another time. | 12

Is this place even open? Same problem they had when they were chill-n yogurt. Their yelp and grub hub both say they're open until 10, but when I show up at 8:15 they are closed. It's the only yogurt shop close to my house and I've never been so frustrated by a local business in my life. Get your shit together. | 01

I stopped by and checked out froyotime as I eat next door at zabbas frequently and noticed the new froyo shop going up. It was really good, and the owners, who both were in the shop at the time, seemed like really nice people. I had the Salted caramel and it was delicious, didnt even need toppings although they had a ton of those as well. Will definitely be back! | 12

This place is great. It is fresh and clean and has a bright cheery feel. There is always a new flavor to try and lots of choices to choose from at the toppings bar. The owners are always friendly and great to talk to. | 12

Les plats principaux \u00e9taient corrects mais le service \u00e9tait, lent, mal organis\u00e9 et il y a eu plein d'erreurs. De plus les desserts n'\u00e9taient pas bon, la cr\u00e8me glac\u00e9e frite \u00e9tait liquide. Si je pouvais donner 0 \u00e9toiles je le ferais. | 01

My family is vegetarian and the food was amazing! We found our new fav Mexican food place in Laval! The music was loud and the place was happening. But there are booths available where a family can sit and have an amazing meal away from the speakers. Was disappointed with the spiceness level of their table sauces (4 kinda) and had to pay $1.50 extra for the hotter sauce. However the spicy(on request) vege burrito was delicious! My soft taco with cactus and avocado was savory and the spinach and cheese enchiladas was zesty! Will definitely come back. | 12

Nice decor, friendly service, good but far from great or unique pizzas; much needed\nsort of place in the area; BUT the noise level is beyond ridiculous. Was there for lunch at 1 pm mid-week, and sat at the bar with a friend. We were the only one's at the bar, and could barely hear ourselves speak. Anywhere else was much worse | 01

Le secret le mieux gard\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Excellentes pizzas qui rappellent l'Italie. Excellent service. Un must | 12

Just terrible. \n\nThe food wasn't bad, but for the price we paid - about 85 for two glasses of wine, two pizzas, and a salad, it didn't satisfy. The restaurant was much too noisy (they should have used acoustic tile!), but we made do. The service was lovely - they have an excellent set of waiters and waitresses who all had a great attitude, which is a rare find in Montreal!\n\nI genuinely felt bad for our waitress - she was clearly doing all she could to make sure that we were happy, but her manager (some fat, grumpy Italian guy) kept screaming at her and the other front of house staff. We just felt so terrible for all of them! It made for a rather uncomfortable meal.\n\nWhen our pizza arrived, we asked for fresh ground pepper. Turns out they don't have any. Our waitress said it was a decision of the management, which based on the rudeness we saw isn't at all surprising. \n\nBack to the food--- the wine selection was excellent, and we were mostly satisfied with our pizza. I ordered a primavera without cheese (vegan), and they were happy to accommodate. He had the margharita and said it wasn't bad, but wasn't the best he's had. As another reviewer said, nothing to write home about. \n\nOverall, it was ok, but I'd only recommend for people who are happy to spend upwards of $50 a person for a casual dining restaurant, and who don't mind witnessing a grown man throwing a tantrum. | 01

SUCH a DISAPOINTMENT. I wanted SO badly to love this place as a local and pizza lover!!!!! This is my 2nd time eating here. \nWe went in yesterday with our 3 year old- sat down and asked for pasta w/ butter and or parmesean cheese. The answer was NO. ZERO kid friendly options in Westmount which has a lot of families makes no sense. How can you not have pasta w/ simple parm cheese or butter? Thats nuts. Moving past that- we ordered the same soup as our first visit and salads. Taste just OK.\n\nService:\nAs we finish the salads, a server comes over and askes \""Would you now like some dessert or coffee\""? She obviously had no idea those are not main courses and no idea what we had ordered. \n\nI had ordered (just like our 1st visit) my pizza well done crispy. This didnt happen (same issue on our first visit) - The pizza came out soggy. I literally took it to the oven myself where they fixed the problem. \nTaste: Again, just \""Eh\"". How can oven pizza not be amazing (none the less a margarita simple one) ? Such a shame.\n\nON THE TABLE displayed was a picture of Nutella and Strawberries. My 3 yr old said she would like that- i kindly asked for what was in the picture and the reply was that they do not sell strawberries and Nutella. OK so why picture it? \n\nCheck comes: Total 2 salads, 2 soups, 1 pizza (single sized), 1 Soda. Total $75. Overpriced. \n\nSide note- when you do get your act together- offer local delivery within a few blocks to get more business. | 01
