This review is for happy hour only.

Margaritas - MY FAVORITE IN ORANGE COUNTY!  Strong drinks, tasty!  It didn't taste like they use the generic margarita mix in these.  The margaritas actually remind me a lot of El Callejon's margaritas, which are now SECOND best in OC.

Service - awesome.  Our waitress was working hard covering a lot of tables and the bar area, but she never gave attitude.  Gotta love that.

Food - chips and salsa were REALLY great.  I kept going back to get more salsa.  The tacos were just ok, as were my side salad and buffalo wings.  But honestly the chips, salsa, margaritas, service, and CHEAP happy hour prices were well worth it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I wouldn't say that they have the best quality furniture, but we have a bedroom set from here that was a great deal.  The salespeople follow you around and are borderline pushy and annoying, but I understand that they likely have a quota to make.  They are pretty helpful though and aim to please, but I guess it's hard to find a good balance between super helpful and pushy.

Delivery took the time they quoted to me.  

Financing package was ok.  However, the store said I would have ZERO payments for a year with zero interest, but turns out it was just zero interest with a payment every month.  I didn't find this out until I got an overdue notice.  Huh?!  I had to clear it up with Wells Fargo Financial, who luckily was understanding and took care of things for me.

This shop is absolutely disgusting.  It makes me ill to see people actually purchasing pets from this store.

The store smells HORRID.  It smells like urine and feces.  

The first experience I had was coming to this store with a girlfriend, looking at the puppies, seeing what they labeled as a French Bulldog pee or poop bloody feces.  There was another dog in there with the French Bulldog and it was eating up the poop/blood. I wanted to faint.  That was bad enough.  

But what happened next should have gotten this place shut down - we went to the front and told 2 workers about what just happened.  They went to the cage where the French Bulldog was and picked her up, took out the newspaper, and then put in new newspaper, and put the dog back in!!!  No friggin spray, no disinfectant, nothing.

It made me sick and want to cry.  This place is so disgusting to me.

This place is so neat!  I could not believe all of the candies and toys they had available in the selection that were a total throw back to my childhood days!  

The store is very clean and tastefully decorated.  The staff is wonderful as well.

The prices are a little on the higher end, but I suppose it is justified because you won't find a lot of these products in the regular stores anymore.

Very unique concept.  Worth a visit!

Really neat little tanning salon.  I had my first airbrush tan from here and have never gone elsewhere.  The owners are really friendly, and the workers are the same way.  I had a young lady do my airbrush tan and I expected it to be very awkward.  Although she was young, she was really professional and made me feel very comfortable!

Very clean as well.

Highly recommended!

This is a review of drinks and service only.

We went here after having dinner somewhere else.  Stumbled upon it, actually.  The margaritas were FANTASTIC and the waiters were VERY nice to us!  The drinks were strong, the complimentary chips were warm and just right, and the salsa was tasty.

Reasonable price for such large and strong margaritas as well.  It's also in a great spot for people watching.  We sat on the patio and the night had beautiful weather.  

We went 2 nights in a row because we liked it so much!

I love this spa.  It isn't cheap, but it's not priced like Glen Ivy or Burke Williams either.  The establishment is cozy, well kept, the sitting room is very relaxing, the bathrooms/showers are clean, the sauna is very clean as well.  The interior is nicely decorated.

I have been here about 4 times, each time with a different massage therapist, and they were all fantastic.  

I have also had the sea salt scrub and a different scrub treatment and I swear I was in Heaven.  

They have a nice selection of Epicuren products as well, and it's a good deal when they have a 20% off product sale.

The service is excellent at this spa to boot.

Highly recommended.

Natraj Cuisine of India  

Categories: Indian, Pakistani

2 star rating

This is a review of the dinner I recently had at Natraj.  The food was just ok, nothing more.  I felt that the menu prices were pretty steep for the portion sizes.  Our naan bread was burnt, the raita (yogurt sauce) was very thin and runny.  The meat dishes we had had plenty of little bits of meat, hardly any fuller pieces.  The interior leaves much to be desired as well.

Service - hardly any.  I felt like we were being ignored, and I had to get up to ask for water.  I'm pretty surprised at the great reviews on here.  Perhaps we went on an off night for them.  Nonetheless, I have to be honest with my review.

Nom nom nom.  This was our favorite pizza spot in NYC.  The pizza was always fresh, generous portions, friendly staff.  The garlic knots are the BEST!  It is such a shame that Orange County doesn't have a place that even comes close to La Mia.

They had the best lasagna pizza, as well as the white pizza (with spinach), mushroom pizza too..

This is a wonderful club.  The staff is very courteous, the grounds are pristine as is the interior, the food has always been consistently good.  

I have been in the banquet room for some events, and the food and service have always been top notch.  Nicely decorated too.  

The main dining room is very nice as well.  Casual club-style, if that makes sense.  They have different selections that are featured each day, and everything I have ordered has been perfect.  I especially love the starter bread they have.  

It is mostly business people and leisure lunchers during the day.  Very clean cut and slightly formal atmosphere so it's not a place to wear tube tops and flip flops, at least in general.

Highly rec'd!
