I never did come back to update. My sister got her dress elsewhere. The manager was still great, but getting ahold of the store got more and more difficult, though there were good about her switching appointments. Left a bunch of messages. Left a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth. And apparently my sister went back with a few of the out of state bridesmaids to look at dresses, and they were completely ignored from the start to the finish. SO...not as wonderful a second meeting.

    Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic. I went there with my sister, who is the bride, and I couldn't have been more thrilled. The shop front is so cute! The main floor was a little bit...meh...but the front desk people were really nice. Then...Heather (our consultant) came down. She was amazing! So sweet, knew what my sister wanted, pinned her into the dresses because my sister is itty-bitty. Pinned the bustles super well and quickly, found a ribbon and brooch combo to put around my sister's waist that really made the dresses PERFECT! Oh, and the dresses were great. Great price, gorgeous materials, great style. The whole bridal set up was amazing. Uncluttered, room, great displays. It was just so open and light! Ugh, I'm rambling. But it was just fantastic. My sister has 3 favorites we can't wait to go back and see!!! Heather, I hope you read this because you were phenomenal! You made my sister really comfortable and had her laughing and excited the whole time!

We got our bridesmaids dresses from there too! Everything came through on time, good to go! My sister's fittings there went well, with only a slight issue on the hollow to hem measurement. I did my own alterations, so I'm not sure about turn over time on BM dresses, but it was a great store!

    So far so good! My sister just got her dress here last week! It's a really nice store, with a rather large selection. Very Organized.  Staff at beginning kind of ignored me, but it turned out they were very busy. Started working with Shannon I think, and she was great! Really helpful. My sister really liked her. Got to try on a similar dress to this picture she'd brought in that they didn't carry...and of course Kristin didn't like it. Found the dress though! Really simple destination chiffon dress that just looks amazing! Tried on a few bridesmaids dresses too, and they had all the ones I wanted! SCORE! Will be returning soon to pick mine and place the order! :-D

Torn on this review. The Dr. himself is WONDERFUL. Nice, professional, knowledgeable, and above all, looking to help anything he can. I went in for a cat allergy, and left with a full treatment for the numerous allergies I hadn't realized I could be without, and skin treatments for my acne. However...the organization of the office leaves a lot to be desired. Three times have I had scheduling issues. Once I scheduled for testing at the front desk, only to show up and be told it was too close to my previous testing. The front desk should have known this. Then I came back again, was told I had an appointment with Dr. Ghani but actually it was with the NP...worked but was still a bit off. Then I schedule a 10:00am follow up, arrive at 9:55, get shown to a room at 10:50, and by 11:20 have to walk out to get to class. An hour and a half wait wasn't acceptable.

Decent food, Love the Popcorn, but there's always something off. Sometimes it's the soda, where the regular tastes like diet and the diet tastes horrible, and I love both...sometimes the food isn't fully cooked and needs to be sent back. The one consistent problem though, is the staff. I consider myself to be at the very least polite, and a decent tipper. However, I have never had a good wait person. I've had a few who just disappear, and a few who are borderline rude! To the point of rolling their eyes when we aren't ready to order and tapping their foot if we've taken too long. I prefer the one in St. Charles. Less problems there!

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! It was a great place! I went there back in...March of 2008. Yeah...I'm delayed. Went there with my brother for my first tattoo. Went during the week, with no clue what to expect. It was pretty busy, so there was a bit of a wait. Gave the artist my design, took a few minutes, traced it out, placed it, and began. Nothing to it really. Gave me a good price for it too, especially for Chicago. However, it was my brother's tattoo that blew me away. Mine was very cut and dry, I'd drawn it out myself and wanted a replica. His though, we came in with a REALLY rough drawing and a basic idea. It was for a clover with a torn off leave that was taped back on. The artist took the picture, started drawing, and came up with something amazing! He made it more 3D, and suggested stiches instead of tape, which really helped unify the picture. His shading also really brought it to life. It was my brother's 15th Tattoo, and by far his best.

Also, the studio was exceptionally clean, very comfortable environment, with a lot of their artwork up to give you a feel of what style you'd be getting. It was a great place, even though I'm a germaphobe! Show owner comment »

    Absolutely furious with this company. Have tried canceling my membership for four months now, and have gotten screwed. At first the staff at the Elgin company said they would take care of it. Then I got charged a yearly renewal. Then I was told to send an email to corporate to cancel. No response. Called corporate to follow up...twice. And got HUNG UP ON both times. I'm doing 20 credit hours at school and have barely enough time between work and school to call my mom, let alone harass a company. They've charged me an additional $60 now. I'm so pissed off.

Best sandwich place around. Love their Muffaleta or whatever that sandwich is. Never gotten something I didn't like there. And their strawberry shakes are large, delicious, and cheap! I'm so hungry right now I wish they were open late!

I love airports, but this one is a bit ridiculous sometimes. The traffic pattern to it has gotten me lost on occassion, so I recommend the EL as it takes you right there. The food is very expensive, but it's Chicago, so not much new there. I've never seen it really dirty, and the staff I have personally spoken to have always been friendly and professional. But seriously...Beware of getting lost. Especially at night. Driving from the suburbs into that strange circular drive is awful.
