Mike M.'s Profile

I've seen behind the curtain (so to speak) and as a person who might know a thing about tech I can honestly HIGHLY recommend the Harper Team based on their internet marketing alone!

Toss in the experience, the knowledge, and their connections within the local agent community and how could you go wrong?

Was it just an off night?  I'm not sure.  

Started by sitting at a table in the bar.  We waited for a long time for a cocktail waitress (there supposedly was one) until a busboy finally came over, said "She still hasn't been here yet?  What can I get you?"  and brought us drinks.

When our table was ready the waiting continued...

Our waitress was nice enough but in much to much of a hurry.
When my wife ordered another drink and I said, "I would love to have another Margarita too..." there was a little more at the end of that sentence before you rushed off.  "I would like mine made Patron Anejo and with salt" is what you might have heard - and what I would have liked to order.  I talk pretty fast, just not fast enough I guess.

The Appetizer was very good.  And it was ok when our salads arrived before we finished it.  What wasn't ok was the arrival of our entrees just 2 minutes later.  3 courses on a small table at the same time?  Really?  It's not like the restaurant was crowded.  It's not like you really needed the table.  Why the rush?

There seemed to be plenty of staff around.  
The weather was cooler so the patio wasn't the issue.
For a place I've been to countless times over the past 20 years I really expect better.  Really, why the rush?

As a total n00b to photography I can't tell you how happy I was to find them.  To make it even better, they happen to be within easy driving distance - but even if they didn't I'd be happy with their delivery service.

I walked in and asked what lens might be best for an upcoming conference I was attending.  Vincent brought out lens after lens mounting various lenses on my camera.  In plain english he explained the pros and cons of each.  In the end I walked out with a phenomenal lens at a great price!  

Here's a few of the pictures I took http://www.facebook.co...
Remember - when it comes to photography I'm a self proclaimed n00b!  http://Borrowlenses.com made me look good!

What an excellent experience we had!
We tried everything we could and were not disappointed with a single item.  The Eel roll was perfect.  Loved the Jumping Tuna.
A real hidden gem!!

One of the most sophisticated gelato and coffee places I've ever been to!
The Gelato was wonderful, the decor - very very comfortable.
It was as if it was placed inside a 5 start hotel.

Had a tweetup here on the suggestion of our local friend, Jim Marks and Wow!  
We rushed to get in under the happy hour deadline.
For Happy Hour...
The beer was cold,  full pints, and dirt cheap!
The food? nothing close to traditional happy hour food.
Sashimi, fish tacos, and so much more - and like the beer it was very inexpensive.
Service was fast and attentive.
I actually felt guilty getting away with such great fare at such a steal!

Ernie was the best!
A wealth of information.
Not that I know any of the other tours or tour guides but if I was going to send a friend to any tour it would be this one and to make sure it was with Ernie!

What a great discovery!
The best Red beans and Rice I had anywhere in NOLA.
Had it with the chicken and had it with the Sausage - both were excellent!!

Anytime and every time we're in NY (live in San Francisco), we have to have dinner at Isabella's!

This last time we started with the  Bosc Pear Salad - Loved it!
My wife had the Salmon (perfectly cooked) and I had the Pasta Special.
We picked a slower night and the service was attentive as always.

After all these years we still haven't made it in for Brunch!

Was up the street at a convention and walked in with 13 people.  They graciously scrambled to put tables together to accommodate us.  I was excited to see the Oktoberfest menu.  Great choices.  I ordered Sauerbraten (my favorite) and a side Spaetzle.  Everything was great except the entree itself.  My beef was very tough.  The sauce was great, the cabbage was great, everything was great except for that one small issue.

Although I'll probably not be back in town anytime soon - I'd still recommend the restaurant
