I absolutely love this place. They always remembered me after my 2nd visit.

Our mainstays of chicken coconut soup, phad thai and panang are are super delicious. Nice cuts of meat and  fresh veggies.

They were great about my speice sensitivity when I got pregnant and remembered me after 5 months when I couldn't even take the lowest spice thai.

They aren't skimpy on the rice like a lot of places are, and are super sweet servers and cooks.

The stuffed french toast is heavenly. The french toast souffle is extraordinary. the Alaskan Waffle is decadent The gyro omelete is delicious. The gyro with either fries or fruit is so good. Thier sandwiches are very good. Never eaten a "dinner" there, but all the breakfast and lunch items have been tasty, plentiful, and reasonably priced.

Lovely waiting area, Friendly staff. Knowledgable stylists.  A really nice cut and they didn't make me feel bad about my lack of styling savy or my desire to not blow dry my hair.

Was new to the area and my stylist was great about suggesting places for me to try.

I love big bookstores that have nooks and crannies, but not when I'm looking for something specific.

They layout didn't make much sense to me and their map didn't help much. It might be nicer if they put a list of categories and tell you where on the map they are instead of trying to fit a map with writing all on one side. The print was tiny, even for my good eyes.

I found books by the author I was looking for in 2 sections, but not the book I was looking for.

Not the most cohesive place to go if you're in a hurry or have a toddler with grabby hands.

Il Forno Pizzeria

Incredibly good crust.

Nice toppings. Not overful, not skimpy.

Fast pick up service. For a newcomer the pick up window is hidden and they sort of look at you funny if you walk into the main part and ask to pick up a pizza.

Inexpensive.

Great as left overs, too!

This is an awesome restaraunt. Very kid friendly, very friendly, very good!

Even on busy week end nights it has never taken us more than 15 minutes to get in, but if there's a wait they come around with apetizers sometimes.

They have an excellent spice mix for dipping thier fresh baked bread.

They've got coloring for the kids and if they have a batch of dough made, they'll bring a dollop out to play with.

The minestrone is so good that on a first sip, my toddler exclaimed "YUMMY!"  I ate a whole pile of calamari by myself the first time I went because I couldn't take it going to waste, it was that good.  And every entree I've had there has been a fine experience.

I absolutely love their blackberry sangria! and their mini deserts are a perfect way to not keel over from over-indulgence.

Walked in and were seated immediately, but had to actually ask for a high chair for my toddler.  The waiters played with her and waved and were nice to her and enough to us, but were not very communicative about options.

Their buffet was not labeled well.

When asking for an entree of Chicken Tikka Masala, they said it was in the buffet, but what was there was Butter Chicken (which was good, but is not the same dish)

They did bring out fresh naan to the table instead of stickin it out in the buffet to get cold and hard.

The food was good, but I'd go for a non-buffet time and expect better. Hopefully thier service would be better at dinner time, too.

They have very good Spring Rolls. The Phad Thai is decent, and the panang curry is acceptable. Very pretty garnishes make up for a bit of a shabby looking restaraunt.

The staff is nice but not overtly friendly.

We tried the Clay Oven for a buffet on the weekend. While the staff was nice and helpful, the buffet was nothing special and the chai was just okay.

Very kid friendly place. There were 3 groups of people with kids while we were there.

Viet's Aroma

As soon as we walked in the door, they were playing with my almost 2 year old and getting things for her. They were no less attentive to my husband and myself.

The Pho was incredible, the veggies fresh, and the tea was very good as well.

I come from a city with a large Vietnamese community and Viet's Aroma is on par with the very best I've had.

On our second visit, they already had my daughter's name down and gave her a great glowing cup, which kept her thrilled for a while. I also tried thier specialty seafood dish. Several hours later I still keep saying, "You have no idea how good that was!"
