Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighborhood: Southeast
I had never been to a Pinkberry and my friend assured me it was a MUST. Ok Ive been and I still dont get the fuss. I mean, dont get me wrong, it was good but it wasn't "craving" good? First, there werent a whole lot of flavors to choose from, maybe 4? I was goin to go for the plain (thinking vanilla) until my friend mentioned that's her favorite because of the tart flavor. Reminding me this is yogurt not ice cream. I dont like the tart of plain yogurt., so I opted for chocolate with toasted almonds and it was really good, I was pleased with my choice, (so was her daughter, seeing as she snaked it from me lol) So we ended up trying what her daughter ordered.. the mango with fresh fruit, and I have to say the mango was really good. So now I can say Ive been and done and it was good. That's all

Wahoo's Fish Taco
Category:
Mexican
Neighborhood: Southeast
Okay..Im still a huge fan of Baja Fresh, HOWEVER, everything here was fresh and tasty. Spicy is all relative. So when they say spicy I expect spicy, I expect my nose to run, this was not the case here. I enjoy a little more flavor than what was provided so I added their green sauce to my tacos and we have a winner! LOVE that green sauce!
One thing I was surprised about though is that usually the beans are band but they werent! The beans were spicier than the taco? All in all a good experience and I will return.. as long as you dont run out of green sauce.

ZOOLIGHTS! Went the night of Christmas with my friend her husband and 2 little ones. It was a blast! Lights, Hot Cocoa, Carousel, little train, glow in the dark things for the little kids. The only think a bit disappointing was the lack of animals to see. We saw giraffes and fish/turtles. Everything else was dark.. if they were there you couldnt see them so that was a bummer.
But as this was my first Zoolights, I have nothing to compare it to, so it was a success in my eyes!

What can I say it's Gordon Biersch, how can you go wrong? Garlic Fries a must. I dont care if you order pasta.. order them as a side.
I had the Blackened Ahi Tacos and garlic fries (instead of the rice & beans it comes with) and I couldn't have been happier. We had 30 minutes to our movie and I dont miss previews.Service was great and fast enough so we made it to Ghost Protocol on time. Done and Done.

Ok I was skeptical because of so many awful reviews, but there wasn't a whole lot to choose from in the area and this was my one shot (I live in San Antonio) and this one's menu looked unique. So, we came here after ice skating, sat in a booth, awesome and sassy server man. I like that. Started off with a Rocky Mountain Soda (w/blackberry liqueur) figured Id get something Colorado-ish. Perfect drink! I ordered the Grilled cheese and tomato soup and it was spot on. My only complaint and it's just personal preference. not a fan of 7 grain bread. My friend had the lobster mac & cheese and I snaked a bite. OMFG. Needles to say I ate all her leftovers the next day. score. Her husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich and i wish I had taken a photo, it was like an entire chicken coated in hot sauce sprinkled in blue cheese crumbles. Delish! He left no leftovers.
I would definitely return and try something else. This place is a great little place with fantastic food and great service..what else could you ask for?

Hadn't been ice skating in I dont know how long.So when I flew out to Colorado my friend and her husband brought me to this place. It was perfect.
#1 It was decorated sooooo Christmassy and had free horse drawn carriage rides out front.
#2 The skates were awesome..not the regular figure skates I grew up with that had no ankle support. They were like roller blades with ice blades.
#3 It wasnt ridiculously packed or swarming with speed skaters.
Of course you had your token pro skater and your teenage boys chasing each other trying to knock each other down but the rink was big enough so that if they fell you didn't have to. Couldnt have been a better spot!

Ok so yes they are BEYOND fast. Before you get to the end of the line your sandwich is ready. But as far as subs go.. they're ok. It tasted better when we got home and put a sauce on it, not anything to wow over by any means. The menu was pretty basic, nothing unique to speak of. If you're craving an amazing Sub.. try Jersey Mike's! They may not be as fast but they're better.
I have now been to 2 of the 6 locations. Note that each location has a slightly different menu, all yummy. I tried the Hot Cocoa for the first time and it was magnificent! Also tried the Bella Bela Benny and The Upstream. The Upstream Benedict was too "fishy" for my liking. My favorite Benedict however of the 2 locations (not found at the Boulder One) is the Caprese Benedict..unbelievable.
If youve been to a Snooze before, you will know -prepare to wait at least 45 minutes This location is no different, but as always, its worth it.
Side note: One thing I dont like which has become oh so popular in many restaurants. The 2 tops that are right on top of each other. I will never be ok sitting at those unless the next table is at a decent distance. Im not paying for a prison experience? I dont get that. Its awkward and claustrophobic.

Ok. let me start by saying I have hated you for so long (since before 2000), because I had a god awful experience at your Vegas location. Rude staff, rude management, soup spilled down my back, my friends foot was cut by a plate shard which a server had dropped and dirty bar rag was provided to clean the bleeding wound... That kind of AWFUL. After a near 2 hour wait and the aforementioned disaster, the awful experience ended with a blah meal to top everything off. So even on top of my seething hatred for the company, the food was less than good.Haven't been to a Cheesecake Factory since. Until now.
Service was excellent. My guest nor I were never in any danger of being covered in our own entree or cut with dinnerware. PLUS. But what really won me over was the Baja Hash. It was off the charts good. Your corporate should be made known that you have redeemed your company's name and reputation.

I have to say Im extremely impressed. I organized our Holiday Team Lunch here, which consisted of about 12-15 of us. We ordered in advance to save some time and sometimes that can be a crap shoot. This was no crap shoot. Food arrived as soon as we did and it was hot and delicious. Everyone seemed pleased. Drinks were refilled in a timely fashion and we even had time for dessert which was also fantastical in itself. Thanks you Bjs for making our team lunch a success.

I haven't been to a BJ's in years and I can't understand why. Hands down this place is fantastic and beats Stonewerks for service and for food. I love chicken marsala and was set on ordering it but asked our server her opinion and surprisingly she was completely honest and swayed me from it. I ended up choosing the shrimp scampi and was in absolute heaven. It was glorious! Flavor was spot on, pasta al dente, decent sized and amount of shrimp. The serving was a plenty. My friend ordered the chicken parm and was insistent that I try it. OMG. I never order chicken parm because the breading, the chicken, it's a crapshoot. But here it was moist, perfectly breaded...AMAZING. As far as chains go, look no further, this place is money.
