I recently saw Alice in Wonderland IMAX 3-D at this theater and drove quite a way to get there. I was very disappointed with not only the way the theater is managed but the IMAX experience itself which was nothing compared to IMAX theaters in Raleigh or Concord Mills.

As I said before they are under really bad management with a less than efficient staff that were incapable of handling the busy Saturday afternoon that I was there. Also apparently they take reservations on seats in the IMAX theater for birthday parties which means the best seats aren't even available when you first get there. Not the mention the fact that half the theater had covers on the seats saying "Not for 3-D Viewing". I have no clue what that meant but those seats were not available either. Most people ended up not getting to sit together.

Very disappointing experience - will not return.

Wonderful family owned Italian Pasta restaurant with a welcoming staff and great food. I personally love their wraps and deserts more than anything but each dish I have tried has been really good. One of the best restaurant's in Greensboro! -Great for Lunch too.

Wonderful staffing employment agency that puts it's employees first and isn't involved in taking advantage of people who are having trouble finding a job in such a difficult job market. They are professional, quick to place employees in a position and have great relationships with clients and employees.

Highly recommended.

Ajilon

One of the worst employment agencies that I have ever encountered.
This agency is 100% concerned with money and 0% with it's employees being put in good lasting careers.

One particular staffing agent Gillian Cross is particularly difficult to deal with and not only used bad language when she spoke with me about a position I had chosen not to take - but she also was incredibly rude to my room-mate who was simply the person that answered the phone when she called. Ajilon is incredibly unprofessional, second rate and over the year that I had a resume submitted to them I wasn't contacted about a single job opportunity.

Very disappointing.

One of the only two theaters around in the triad that shows indie films. They usually have at least a couple of movies that you don't see previews for every hour on television and the movies themselves are usually pretty good too. Their mixtape film series is really cool too where they show older movies for fun with food and drinks sometimes served. Seating is usually pretty good but the late night showings usually have at least one or two drunk people in the audience which can sometimes ruin the movie. Overall though, it's a great theater!

Jake's Diner

Great food at excellent prices and now that it's smoke free I love it ten times more. It use to be my only real complaint was the smoking but now I can eat in anytime and not be bothered with second hand. It may not be much to look at on the outside but the food is delicious and it's open 24 hours so late at night it pretty much beats anything in Greensboro. Great breakfast, lunch and dinner foods with daily specials and a drive through.

Drive through an be a bit slow sometimes but that is just because each order is made right then. I am definitely a fan.

Yamato Japanese Restaurant  

Categories: Japanese, Sushi Bars

5.0 star rating
2/13/2010
I absolutely love this restaurant! I don't know exactly where the first reviewer went to but it wasn't this Yamato in High Point, NC. Here the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. I go here at least once a week which means the prices are more than reasonable for the great food. Similar places with Hibachi and Sushi charge double or more for food that usually isn't as good or consistent as Yamato.  I highly recommend this resturant to any person who loves Japanese food.

Oh and by the way -first reviewer - they don't cook the food at your table or serve catfish/red snapper. Just sayin.
