Scott "Code Ninja" E.'s Profile

Very quick - in just a 1 1/2 hour session, I had full x-rays, cleaning, and two cavities filled.  Very nice staff, from the front office, to the nurse and doctor.   I especially liked the digital x-rays that pop right up on the computer.  I never thought you could do x-rays in 5 minutes.

After talking to her on the phone, we found her unprofessional, rude, and with a bad attitude.  When we called her on her bad attitude, she said "I think you should contact Living Social and ask for a refund".  Unfortunately, we couldn't do that, so she came anyway.

Although she promised to "exceed our expectations", it wasn't.

I am still finding mistakes and sloppy cleaning, such as:

1.  Didn't clean our bathroom ceiling after we asked her to.  If she couldn't do it, she didn't say so.

2.  She put our cat stuff up on a shelf, and didn't put it back down where they could get it.  I didn't realize this until after my cats were freaking out and I realized they were hungry because their food was gone.

3.  There is mold in our tile grout that was not cleaned.

4.  There was comet residue all over the house.  In the downstairs shower, floor, kitchen sink, toilet seat.  (We found out the toilet seat when our 3 year old complained that the "toilet was dirty")

5.  Didn't clean the front of the fridge or the ice maker.

6.  When moving the drum set, a piece fell off, and instead of fixing it, propped it up with a book.  We found this out when the drum fell over when a kid grabbed the book.

7.  Didn't put everything back.  Bed side table was askew, couch / loveseat in the wrong place, didn't replace the foil to catch oil in the oven, cat food, drums, etc.

There were other omissions, but to get her the benefit of the doubt, if she was a nice person I am sure I could correct her and she would do a better job a second time.

If had to compare her to our normal 3 person cleaning crew, she works a fraction of the hours, is about 1.5x as expensive, and her attitude is not someone I would want to do business with.

If you want to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and you live in the area, this is as good as it gets.  Instructor (Alder) has no ego, and teaches in a way that you learn fast while having a good time.

Alder, more than any other instructor I have seen, goes out of his way to spend time with each student, making sure they are understanding the techniques.

Got the prix fix.

Out of 5 courses, two were absolute 5 star, some of the best food ever:

Green Eggs and Ham (egg, ham, asparagus 3 ways)
Chocolate Car Bomb (chocolate several ways, ice cream, guiness foam)

The rest were whatever.

I am giving an extra star for the great staff, the "surprise" they gave the table, and the creativity.

Stayed over 4th of July weekend.  Although I could get access to their wi-fi, there connection is atrocious.  One page took 2 minutes to load.

We rented the large house, but it was more like a series of rooms attached to each other which was a big let down.

The A/C was broken the first day, and door knobs fell off through-out the trip.  It felt a bit like camping.

Even though they fixed the A/C right away and were very nice, I will never come back here again.

If you want to train no-gi and you live close to this gym, you are very lucky.  Denny is a great guy and a great intructor.  I came in from out of town and all the students were welcoming and didn't try to hurt me.

I am not a comic book fan - but this makes me want to be one.

I brought my 3 year old to introduce him to comics.

The guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful and even gave us the comics at a steep discount.

I can't wait until my kids get a bit older to be more frequent here.

I am a regular, so most barista's know my drink.  90% of them are very friendly and I feel they make an effort to be nice.

A lot of industry regular's here - if you come at the same time every day, you will get to know a lot of people.

Plus, I ran into Ponch of C.H.I.P.S and Turtle from Entourage here.  That alone should add several stars.

I am comparing Piriya's yellow curry with chicken to the same dish I had a week later at Amazing Thai Cuisine (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) nearby.

Piriya's curry is quite flavorful (if a little sweet) and complex.  Next to "Amazing", it blew it out of the water.

The curry was much thicker to the watered down "Amazing", and wasn't nearly as spicy (I ordered both mild).

Also, the women behind the counter is wonderful and treats me like I have been coming there for years.

I am happy to give them my business, although I wish they didn't charge extra for credit card transations under $12.

I am comparing the yellow curry with chicken to the same dish at Piriya Thai Cuisine (http://www.yelp.com/wr...) I ate last week:

Amazing's was very watery, and lacked seasoning (salt) and flavor.  It was very one note, and replaced most of the flavor with spice and water.

I also should note that by the time I took it home, all the curry was sediment at the bottom of the container.

The chicken was dry and tasteless.

I definitely have no reason to go back to them when there are so many others in the same neighborhood.
