Great for a group to meet-up and share food. Fairly safe with their selection, so everyone leaves satisfied. Satisfying and cold sangria could use more sangria and less ice. My reservation for 5 people at 6pm on a Sunday was kept despite people being 15 minutes late. Friendly service. Quick bussers keep the table clear.

Great sushi chefs; good prices.

My usual is the Sushi Chef's Special with a side of fresh wasabi. The filling dish works great for a lunch or dinner meal.  The attentive waitresses always fill my water cup when it gets low.  They don't rush you out the door with the check, and wait until after they clear the dishes.  The miso soup is almost always at the right temperature: hot, but cool enough to sip and enjoy.

Very colorful and ornate arrangements that make good use of colors and space.  Flowers are in full bloom.  Excellent fillers (NOT the standard dull ferns and baby's breath).  Worth the money: they seem to take pride in their arrangements, and it shows.  

I have only called orders in.  I always make vague orders of roses and sometimes specify preferred colors.  I uploaded pictures of two deliveries to Yelp.  They use nonstandard fillers which make the flowers pop from the rest of the arrangement.

The flowers were delivered in a timely manner, and arranged with lots of filler.  The roses were just blooming, so they should last a week.  

Two-thousand miles away I placed an order for my girlfriend that is in downtown Los Angeles for business.  They took my order in a matter-of-fact manner.  Be sure you know exactly what you're ordering if you're calling it in; after stating I wanted long-stem roses they didn't ask what color, but I specified after selecting which price range I wanted.  I'm sure they would have been helpful if I had asked for advice.
