Rosalita "Wow, you eat a lot for such a small person" E.'s Profile

Terrible customer service. Rude, condescending, arrogant, and dismissive.

Maybe if we had met with a different sales person, I would feel differently, but Ginger single-handedly ruined the experience for us. The bf and I were looking for a dining room light fixture. After looking  in Home Depot and Lowes, we decided we'd try a specialty lighting store, hoping we'd get a knowledgeable sales person to give us some advice and ideas.

After wandering around the showroom for about 20 minutes without so much as a greeting from any of the employees, we went to the counter to ask for some direction. Ginger didn't let us finish describing what we wanted before interrupting us and making us feel like idiots. When we started describing what we were looking for, she interrupted with, "Well, how big is your dining room table?" (Who knows the exact dimensions of their tables??) "Well if you don't know the exact measurement, I can't get a sense of the scope and scale you need."

We told her we had looked at the Wolfer's website and found some options on it that we liked. "Well, that's just a virtual showroom and we actually don't sell the stuff that's on the website." (What? What's the point of having it on your website then?) "You can find the number on the website and email me and I can order it for you." (Oh, and get you a nice little commission? After how helpful you've been?)

After a few more minutes of her condescension, she threw some catalogs at us and said she'd be back in 15 minutes. After 5 minutes of flipping through catalogs, no more knowledgeable than we'd been when we'd arrived, we decided to cut our losses and leave. We went to Savio's where we were treated much better, with the sales person being responsive, but not pushy, to help us come up with options in our price range and style choice.  There might have been some other, more helpful sales people at Wolfer's, but if Ginger is an indication of the type of people they employ, I am not going to take my chances by going back.

Before I found Yelp, I relied almost solely on Zagat to guide my culinary endeavors. So, after years of reading Oleana's Zagat's reviews and consistently high scores, I finally tried it. I can't say Zagat misled me, but I wasn't as impressed as I hoped I'd be.

We made a 7:30 reservation for 4 on a Saturday night. We arrived on time, but had to wait 15-20 minutes for our table. Not a big deal, especially because we to wait in front of the cozy fireplace. For an appetizer, we had the whipped feta, which was very good. One friend ordered the lamb; 2 of us tried the duck, and my vegetarian friend got a couple of appetizer specials. I really wanted to be wowed. The duck was definitely tasty, but was not as moist as it could have been. Also, the big turn-off for me was the fact there was some gristle in the duck dish. It was taken off the bone and put into a casserole-type dish, so it didn't make sense to me that the gristle was left as an unpleasant surprise. My friend also had gristle in hers, so I know it wasn't just a random mistake. I tried a bite of the lamb and thought it was fantastic, though.

Service was great - our knowledgeable waiter answered all of our questions patiently (what's zhoug?). Also, tables feel slightly cramped. It was pricey, but that was to be expected. Overall, I thought it was very good, but just not as good as I wanted it to be.

Every time I visit my grandfather in NJ, we eat here for both dinner and dim sum. He and his girlfriend are regulars, so the staff know them. The food is consistently excellent and the service is attentive and friendly. Prices are reasonable as well. It is great to find a place out in the suburbs that serves authentic and fresh Chinese food. Last time we went, we got fresh bass, which was excellent. We also got a shrimp, broccoli and walnut dish that was even better than the version I had recently in Boston's Chinatown.

Did I have a good experience at 33? Yes. But would I go back? No.

I went here for dinner with a coupon from http://restaurant.com. We ordered the diver scallops and the pecan crusted salmon.  For $27, there were 3 scallops on the plate. While they tasted good, $27 seemed a bit steep for the small amount of food on the plate: 3 scallops, 3 tiny (and bland) polenta circles, 3 fried oysters and a small pile of watercress. The salmon was cooked perfectly, but the pecan crusting was a strange accompaniment. First of all, there was too much of it. It was a bit dry and tasted like it belonged with a dessert.

The food was tasty, but nothing special. And $14 for a drink? No thanks. The ambiance was nice (I liked the color changing bar) and service was good. All in all, a good experience, but the food was not good enough to warrant the steep price tag or a return visit.

It wasn't bad; it just didn't seem that authentic. We usually go to Chinatown for real Chinese food, but decided to try this out. We ordered a few dishes that we usually get, to see how they compared. The food tasted fine, but it just wasn't as good as it is at other restaurants.

Service was good and the restaurant was clean, but if you're looking for authentic Chinese, head to Chinatown.

I'm smitten.

I didn't even know H-Mart was opening until I saw reviews on Yelp a few days ago (thank you Yelpers!). I had to be in Burlington anyway, so decided to check it out.

H-Mart is the biggest and cleanest Asian market I've ever seen. (Though Kam Man in Quincy is pretty big too - just counting the grocery part.) Granted, it's brand new, so perhaps that's why it was so clean, but my dad (who I called excitedly from the produce section to tell him about the $0.39/lb zucchini and shanghai bok choy) said that H-Marts are known for their cleanliness.

I thought the prices and selection were great. In particular, I was impressed with the produce and seafood sections (it didn't even smell like fish! let's see how long that lasts). There is also a section devoted to kimchee.

I felt like a kid in a candy store. It rivaled my euphoria when I first found the K&C World Market in Nashville. Since the 88 chains are all but gone, I am so glad H-Mart has arrived.

Delicious. The salt and pepper pork and squid were some of the best that I've tried in Chinatown. The peapod greens with crab sauce was divine. We came here with a group of 8 people (both Chinese and non-Chinese), ordered a variety of dishes, and everyone was impressed.

I see that some reviews dinged NGG some stars for its lack of ambiance and so-so service. If it's a quiet, relaxing meal with served by attentive, demure waitstaff you're looking for, then don't eat here. Yes, it's noisy and crowded, and you may have to wait to sit down, but it's worth it. It's really all about the food. It is authentic, fresh, and tasty.

I thought the staff was efficient and helpful. I understand the complaints, but hey, that's typical Chinatown. I would definitely eat here again.

Oh, Legends, I miss you so much.

Old records on the wall, cheap PBRs, dancing to a fun cover band - one of the best places to start off a Nashville night.

DO NOT LIVE HERE.

If I had only one word to warn you, it would be: Cockroaches.

The buildings are old, the walls are incredibly thin, the management is crappy, and the rents are overpriced. The main draw for living here is its location - close to Vandy, 440, Centennial Park, and an easy ride to downtown. That doesn't quite make up for nights of clutching your can of Raid and listen to the fighting/sex/constant dog yapping next door.

I could go on, but I will just advise you to google Blackstone and check out some of the reviews that are on other sites.

This is a little overdue since I ate here several months ago, but I wanted to chime in.

Love the atmosphere, but food is way overpriced. My friend and I both ordered a scallop salad entree, which we expected to be just that - an entree. It was basically an $18 appetizer.

Also, it's never fun to see the bottle of wine you purchased at West End Liquors for $8 the night before listed on the menu for $42. I know that's the price (literally) of going to a bar to drink your wine instead of doing it alone on your couch, but still.

But, the icing on the cake was the mouse we saw run across the floor of the restaurant. This place has so much potential; it's really a shame.
