Chestnut Hill Dental Assoc  

Category: Dentists

2 star rating
 2/9/2010   First to Review
I went in for a consultation, because my wisdom teeth were causing me pain and might need to be removed. The doctor wanted to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth immediately, even though I had mentioned that I would be taking law school finals within two weeks. The cost would have been $280 per teeth with student basix dental discount. I told him I would think about it and get back to him.

I called him a few days later asking him whether the extraction was urgent. He then told me that it was not. I feel that even though there wasn't any professional misconduct, the doctor did not adequately counsel me. He should have told me that I could wait for a few months instead of implying that this is very urgent, especially after I told him I had exams coming up. Thumbs down for his counseling skills and for just trying to get my money.

I had Bryan as the photographer for my engagement dinner. He was on time and professional. In general, I liked the posed pictures better than the ones that he took of people talking, but I guess that is common for photographers. I had five 8 by 12 prints, and they turned out great.

I really liked 1/3 of the 60 or so photos taken.

Pretty decent place for breakfast, lunch, or casual dinner. The salads are not very fresh, but the sandwich, french toast, fish and chips, and turkey pot pie are good. The cupcakes were way too sweet with too much frosting.

Great variety of food and super delicious, esp. if you like garlic. Large portions for a tapas place. Very nice flamenco music and decor.

Venezia Waterfront Restaurant & Banquet Facility

This review pertains to 1. customer service and 2. wedding/ banquet facility.

My fiance and I came in after making an appointment to look at this place as a possible wedding reception location. The manager was rude. She knew that we had arrived but kept talking to other customers. We stood and waited. As I walked around, I noticed that the banquet facility had very old carpets and smelled like a swimming pool. Definitely NOT  a wedding reception site if you are looking for a tasteful wedding. Their packages are cheap for a reason.

I would give zero stars if at all possible.

Beware of this place, or your clothes may inadvertently turn orange!

I tried this place twice. The first time was all right, but the second time someone had left something in the dryer before I started using it, and all my white towels were dyed ORANGE when the load was done. I convinced the owner that it was the problem was with the machine and not with my clothes (I don't own any orange clothes and there was nothing in the pockets in the load), so she allowed me a free wash and dry. Unfortunately the orange substance was not very washable and I ended up having to toss away all my white towels as well as a few shirts.

The owner didn't do anything to try to solve the problem, aside from allowing me the free wash after I requested one. When I left, no warning signs were put up on the dryer to tell other customers about the problem. Given these circumstances, I would highly advise against their dryers if you have white clothes.

I came into this restaurant skeptical but ended up loving it. The kado (honeyed pumpkin with beef) was an amazing combination of the really sweet and salty. The fish was fresh and complimented nicely with the specially prepared rice. The spinach lamb dish was a little bit heavy for me, but my boyfriend really liked it. If you're looking for something unusual but good, this is the place.

Came to this place before the theater and loved it. The tomato bisque complimented nicely with cheese. The bread was amazing, and the scallops went really well with the tasty potato risotto.

I usually can't finish my food, but this place has just the right amount for me, so my boyfriend and I were able to finish everything. The decor was trendy, and the food came really quickly.

The Similans

The decor of this restaurant is interesting and innovative. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the decor. The pad Thai was bland, and the chicken in the pad Thai was dry. The pad se ew was decent but not impressive- again the meat is completely dry.

The duck curry was good but a little bit too sweet. The fried ice cream was over-fried- my friends and I could hardly crack it open. In general, this place is overpriced for its quality.
