    Awful awful awufil. They do not sell what they advertise on their site. The selection of flowers is a kin to that you find a jewel-osco. They old lady that runs the place is argumentative and deceitful. After I demanded a refund for flowers she failed to deliver to my wife's work she called my wife to try to get her to say that the flowers are fine. When I went back she accused me of stealing flowers out of the arrangement then tried to charge me $25 return fee, then as her daughter was ringing me up she had the audacity to find my car and tried to argue with my wife who was too freaked out by her unprofessionalism to even enter the store. SHOPPERS BEWARE. Go to Flowers Flowers or Seville instead heck even proflowers is better.

Upon my return to this eatery I was filled with rapture when I realized that the acidic fair that I berated in the previous recount was excommunicated from the menu. I have no found a soothing balm that takes the form of huevos rancheros.

    Whilst t'was once a quite remarkable fulsome of delectable treats for those not subscribing to the bestial needs of the carnivores' nourishments it has now fallen under the weight of its own popularity. Gone are the meals that would delight many a vegan and vegetarian palette and the dawn of a menu which tries to impress but fails to do so arises. Gone is the Bim Bim Bop, gone is the Samurai Salad, gone is the Lemon Seitan (lest the old one that did not taste of battery acid) and henceforth as more of the olden fairs are replaced with the new unsavory concoctions gone are my inklings of visiting the establishment.
    For some the canned peas and the new chef's crusade against seitan dishes may still hold value but to me it becomes less and less of what I remember.  Not all the dishes are sure to disappoint but the majority, it seems do, if you go with what was on the old menu, save for the Lemon Seitan disaster, you will be pleased but as more of those old menu items disappear so do my visits to Blind Faith.

Exquisite example of dishes from the far east. I had been in Bankok previously and was regaled by flavours I thought I would never again taste back home. Imagine my exuberance as I first tasted a papaya salad and was instantly transported back to the realm of lady-boys and portly Germanic tourists eager to have their way with them.

A ecosystem of corruption at the highest level. Cronism and ego cast a dark and heavy cloud on the overarching goal of this venue. I have seen first had as educators we forced to resign because of childish administrators. I have been witness to brilliant young minds being shoved in a box so tight and unforgiving that they gave up hope of being understood or just gave up all together. All one needs to do is look at the paychecks along side the CVs of the administrators and department heads to see exactly why our children never stood a chance. For all the meaningless programs and partnerships this school pushes one would expect better results not the segregated fail factory this institution is transforming into.

Serve and protect, more like intimidate and demand respect.

I have had only a few run ins with these chaps and can assure you that they are not to help or inform, there goal is to do as little actual work as possible while acting as smug and rude as will allow.

Upon my many travels I look toward my return to my domestic life the most. The livery buggy that returns me to my stoop from the port I arrive in is of the utmost importance as it is the first taste of my local. As of late the livery services of Northshore shall no longer be requested. In fact I wish a pox upon the owners of this flaccid enterprise. I do not expect scholars to work at this establishment but I surely do not expect simpletons with a brutish demeanor to act as clerics responsible for harkening the livery men to my pick up destination. When last I requested the service of Northshore I was greeted by such a type of person that would make my lobotomy patients wince in dismay. As per my usual I asked to be pick up from my port of arrival upon which the Northshore mongoloid asked me what the exact terminal number was. I informed him of the company name that operated my craft was knowing full well that he could deduce the exact terminal better than I as I was still retrieving my baggage. Upon making this argument the barbarian dared to tell me that he hadn't the ability to extrapolate the number of my terminal and that I would need to contact him once I was already out of the port at the terminal, only then would he be able to send the carriage for me. Needless to say I grew weary of his simple thought process and called a carriage company that operated at levels of professionalism and normalcy that I have come to expect.

Alas you have disappointed me my exotic chum. I was appalled by the veggie burrito you presented to me, a burrito with such a flavor that would make the most bland a person claim this blandness to be the blandest there is and being far to bland for is bland palette.

Whit these unpleasentries out of the air we can march toward why I do come back. I do come back and regale in your Aztec tonics and that delightful avacado mash that is prepared at my table while I recline in leisure . It this minutia  which keeps me coming back, that and the hope of you start adding spice to your burritos.

Quite and unsavory establishment to my palette. Perhaps if I enjoyed fresh ingredients less and bacon grease more, I wouldn't have the emisis all morning. I should warn all vegetarians to steer clear of this poor excuse for a greasy spoon, there is a film of pork on everything including the tableware. Upon ingesting a mediocre breakfast burrito I succumbed to the queasiness that accompanies rancid breakfast goods.

The decor? I fear there are many a homeless people who have been robbed of there home furnishings may be able to find them here.

Sage Restaurant

This establishment indeed flaunts itself as a fine bistro of the Italian culinary arts and mayhaps that is true for the Gorgonzola gnochi and tuna steak, for they were pleasing to the pallet. Alas food alone does not make the element of fine dining reach the apex of enlightenment. The wait staff which is seemingly made up of novices was abysmal. How do you take on the profession of the maitre de and serve wine in a warm chalice. Not to mention that the time it took to deliver the wine bottle to our table was unacceptable for all the guest in my party had finished there entres. This was unacceptable for the amount of money paid.
