The perfect date night spot. I think the decor is maybe farmhouse chic? Whatever it is, is modern, trendy, dim lighting during dinner, cozy intimate vibes. The menu here is very small. If you are a picky eater, you need to take a look at the menu before you go and hope that you find a recent picture of one. I am not sure how often it changes but it is definitely not the same for a long time, maybe seasonal? Ask the restaurant if you are concerned. The servers are very friendly and nice. They know their recommendations if you ask for one and even though busy, come to check on you. It has been a few months since I ate here but I have been here multiple times. Even though the menu changes, it is consistent. The food is cooked perfectly, the flavors aren’t just your average meal, this place really serves an experience. You will have a good time going here with people you enjoy spending time with. Maybe even a business dinner if you need a nice small place to go.

Coco Ichibanya – Menu with Prices – 2710 Alton Pkwy, Irvine

Every time I’ve come here, it’s crowded, whether it’s for lunch, dinner, times in-between, or takeout. I’ve taken it out many times because I didn’t want to deal with the hour or so wait, which means I’ve lost out on the freshness of curry and crispiness of katsu. I still enjoy it despite that. Though when I feel like ordering garlic naan (because it pairs well with the curry, try it!!), the naan becomes a lil dry and not as fragrant as it’d be dining in. Gotta pick your battles y’know. Dine-in: since it’s busy, the service is quick, and servers aren’t the most personable, but it’s understandable seeing how crowded it gets. I don’t mind because the food comes out quick. The downside has been lack of water refills, extra orders or anything else that requires flagging down someone to help. When my friend visits me from San Diego, he likes to eat here, and tradition has been to order the jumbo Thai tea to share. The servers have varied on splitting the drink for us. Some days, they give us multiple cups. Other days, we’ll have more than one straw in a giant stein. Either way, the tradition stays alive for a good bargain. Food: Again, the garlic naan pairs well with the curry, try it!! I usually order chicken cutlet with regular rice and curry. Everything costs extra beyond “regular,” and that means everything (e.g., rice, spice levels, and any add-ons). I’ve tried the level 8 spice before, and it’s not much hotter than the regular, it’s more of the actual spice and salt potency. But attempt at your discretion because I’ve seen other people suffer because of it too. I’m tryna live my best vanilla life, so I’m sticking with the regular unless they stop charging for extra spice levels. I’d equate the curry here to what I expect from a standard Japanese curry. I grew up eating the S&B Golden Curry packets, so Coco Ichibanya is just a fancier, more expensive version of this. The portion is hefty. I usually want to take a big nap after eating here. I’ve also tried Coco Ichibanya in Japan, and I’d say the quality is similar. It might’ve tasted better in Japan because I was in vacation mode and everything was better in general, but me coming back multiple times is a testament to my enjoyment of this place.

SakeBomber Sushi & Grill – Menu with Prices – 1705 E Broadway Rd, Tempe

This place is so amazing. The food always tastes delicious and fresh and the staff is always very nice. They recently even added Boba Tea drinks to their menu and the manager was handing out free samples to tables to allow people to try it prior to purchase. I’ve been here multiple times with my boyfriend and I have to say that they’ve never disappointed. A few times when they’ve been really busy the service might be a little slow, but they at least continue to check up on you and give you updates on your food and such, which to me is very important. Things happen, but at least address the issue, don’t pretend like it’s not there. Highly recommend this place. The varieties of rolls are amazing. I highly recommend the “White Castle” or “Crab People” and always make sure to check out what their special roll of the day is as it usually is also quite amazing!!!

Spicely Organics – Menu with Prices – 4180 Business Center Dr, Fremont

Good Spices, never had a cross contamination issue, I have bought over $400 in bulk spices from them in the past year for my catering and bakery business. As a celiac with multiple allergies and intolerance a reliable source is a must and spicely has fulfilled that well. Only issue is the customer service and the availability of product. If it is in stock get it even if you will not need it for months. They will run out of stuff for months at a time and not restock.

Great American Casino Lakewood – Menu with Prices – 10117 S Tacoma Way, Tacoma

My wife and I came Saturday for the live music and had a blast. Sonic Funk was awesome and the crowd really seemed to be enjoying themselves. We thought the music started at 8pm but upon arriving realized 8pm is when the doors open to guests and music begins at 9. We didnâ??t see any servers taking orders as they were just coming in themselves so I went to the bar to place my drink order, the bartender was very friendly and got my drinks made quickly, as the night progressed we still hadnâ??t been approached by a server even though we saw multiple in the room. It was quite busy so we waited a bit longer understanding the servers were possibly frazzled but still nothing or no one. I saw a young lady dropping off some food to another guest so I got her attention and addressed my frustrations of â??why I had to keep going back and forth to the bar for my drinks?â? She apologized and offered to get me something but I had just gotten a drink from the bar so I declined and she left. Soon after my wife and I were approached by one of the supervisors (Nina) who stated she had been informed of the situation and wanted to make sure we enjoyed the rest of our night and had the service we needed. She was very polite and seemed to be truly concerned about our less than stellar experience. Nina personally brought over our server, introduced us and told her what we were drinking and said she sheâ??d be back to check on us in a bit. Much to our surprise she did come back multiple times throughout the night to make sure we were taken care of. The rest of the night went on without a hitch, our server (Amy) was very helpful and polite, The food was GREAT and the drinks were comin! To have supervisors/managers/higher ups in this type of establishment/environment that really care about the satisfaction of their guests is hard to find. My wife and I really appreciated the effort made by all the individuals involved and it is the main reason we will be back in the future. You got some good ones Great American!

Shred415 Highlands – Menu with Prices – 642 Baxter Ave Suite 101, Louisville

Shred 415 has been open at it’s highlands location for 6 months! I’ve been going to classes at Shred 415 for 2 months. I took advantage of the option to take my first class free. After my class I filled out the survey that was emailed to me which gave me the option to attend a second class for free. After my second class I was hooked and signed up. Shred 415 has multiple class pack options to purchase. The entire facility is very clean and the provide quality equipment to use in class. The bathroom has everything you would need to prep yourself after class…. showers, towels, hairdryer, dry shampoo, hair spray. I enjoy that the class is in a cool temperature controlled studio. I’ve never been disappointed with the music playlist chosen for a class. I always catch myself singing along or pushing myself harder because of the beat. Shred 415 offers one hour classes that are divided into intervals, alternating between treadmill drills and strength training. Most classes are the standard four 15 minute intervals. I like that some instructors switch it up and do six 10 minute intervals or 2 fifteen minutes, 2 ten minutes, and 2 five minute intervals. I like to rotate between starting on the treadmill or on the floor. I try to attend a class 3-4 times per week. Shred 415 uses the MindBody app to sign up for classes. Each day they list multiple times with the instructor and the type of class (total body, arms & abs, butt & legs). I prefer to work out in the morning and they offer multiple class times for me to pick from. Some class times even offer childcare during the class, and it’s clearly marked on the MindBody app. My first class I made it very clear that I WILL NOT be running on the treadmills … the owner and instructor assured me that the treadmill intervals will be at my own pace. Approaching the end of my first two months and I’m occasionally running on the treadmill while in class. I love the entire staff at Shred 415. When I walk in the front door the staff knows my name and checks me in. The instructors give name shout outs to encourage during class…. and sometimes hearing my name gives me that extra push that I needed! The owner, Kathleen, very friendly and present. She quickly responded to my emails and made signing up a breeze! Thank you to Kathleen and the entire staff for making my morning work outs great! Come give Shred 415 a chance!

Dragonfly Tea Bar – Menu with Prices – 3533 E Chapman Ave, Orange

The drinks are good, not great, but a good variety, and if you need a Boba fix in Orange, there arent many choices. It can get busy, but usually its full of ‘students’ on laptops or reading books. Customer service is always friendly, but can take some time to get your drinks at times.Parking is usually pretty good, but because they share the center with a Stater Brothers, In N Out and a 24 Hour Fitness, the traffic in and out of the center gets pretty hectic.Many boba places also have a good selection of food, while Dragonfly is no exception, this is definitely not their strength so my suggestion is head to In N Out, Taco Mesa, or Flame Broiler(next Door) if you want something to eat.

Taters Half Baked Menu with Prices 6616 Ruppsville Rd, Allentown

We have eaten here twice. Both times, the food was good. The problem is always the service. The 1st time, it was busy and someone had called in. They would have needed more help, that one person wouldn’t have been enough. I don’t know if the servers work the bars too, but it was crazy. So, we decided to give them another shot, wow, what a huge mistake! We waited an hour just to get drinks from the hostess, because a waitress never came. They passed us a bunch of times, but never stopped. In the end the hostess also took our orders. This is fine, but she kept waiting for the servers to help us and they didn’t. I understand that’s not her job, but when your servers are that bad you have to step up OR no one is going to have a job. Now 3 out of 4 of us were bartenders and servers at one point in our lives, so we know what it’s like (which makes it even worse). If the kitchen’s backed up, tell us, and ask if we want another drink. We could have had 2 more rounds of drinks while we were waiting. They were trying to tell us how slammed they were. There weren’t that many tables, with people at. The two servers should have been able to handle that, especially because they don’t even serve the food. Someone from the kitchen does. Then we sat there watching them, bringing one or two drinks out at a time. How about using a tray, and saving yourself a lot of time, and in turn wait on more people, and make better tips. It’s a win-win for everyone. If the servers are overwhelmed, then the hostess or manager should jump in. It is such a shame that poor management will ruin this place. The food is good. I love the venue for shows, but I really feel like the restaurant and the way it is run, is going to drag the whole place down. Here’s an idea, on a night there’s a show, put more staff on, and train these servers. Use trays for drinks. Check back with people. We got there at 6:30, and it took almost 2 hours to get one round of drinks, 4 orders of fries, and an order of wings. The first hour was just waiting for someone to take our drink order. If the show would have started on time, we would have missed the 1st hour of it. We won’t be eating there again. Next time, we’ll eat at home or stop somewhere else, then just go in and see the show.

The Sweetest Batch Cupcakery – Menu with Prices – 2237 Lowes Dr Suite E, Clarksville

Dense and the varying frostings are so similar they are barely different. The cupcakes and heavy, literally, not fluffy and moist but wet on the inside as if they arent cooked all the way through. Also, when i went they still had more than 3 hours until closing time and only had 3 different types and less than 7 available. So that tells me they dont bake these freshly throughout the day, just make a giant dense batch in the morning and hope to sell out instead of having multiple fresh options available throughout the day.

Flamin’ Grills – Menu with Prices – 702 N Chaparral St, Corpus Christi

We have visited multiple times and have been satisfied and have even written positive reviews. I have to gripe this time though. I don’t mind spending 5 dollars for a taco but set the expectation for a customer if you don’t have what a customer normally wants in a taco. They were out of both avocado and salsa. Really? I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if it was one or the other, but both? If I call in an order you can at least have the courtesy (ahead of time) to say we are out of salsa tonight and avocado. I would have opted for something else. (You did say you were out of onion rings as well.) I guess my whole RANT is about the fact that they are not as prepared as they once were when they were young and new to the business. The want to keep the customer satisfied is gone in my opinion.

Bao Bun Bowl – Menu with Prices – 4752 Fields Ertel Rd, Cincinnati

A nice restaurant thats tucked in fields eterl so unfortunately easy to miss if you arent looking. Every time ive gone in for lunch, roughly 1100, it’s not too crowded, maybe one or 2 other small parties that are normally not that loud. They have some nice background music to fill the quiet void that fits well with their shop. Seating is next to an open kitchen but their set up doesnt bother me on the contrary, it makes the resturant feel more open. The staff are really chill. The cashier will answer your questions and is laidback. Keep in mind, at this time that is, he wont be tending to your table every so often like other restaurants. This could be different during the dinner rush. I VERY much enjoy their dishes. Their meatbuns and dumplings are super packed and the bread is super yummy but hard to pick up with chopsticks. I do encourage getting their egg tea, the mild spiced and tea soaked boiled egg is actually really good. They also have a menu for the queens bakery that is a short walk down the strip. You can actually call them and they will bring the beverage to you at bao bun.

Maki of Japan – Menu with Prices – 6419 W Newberry Rd, Gainesville

I really don’t expect gourmet food from a Maki of Japan in a mall. The portions are really great. I always find I have enough leftovers to make a separate meal. I recommend ordering the chicken since the chef tops your order with A LOT more meat than if you ordered other meats such as shrimp. Half and half is also an option if you can’t choose between noodles or rice. There is room for improvement from what I’ve seen. The side vegetables are usually pretty cold since they sit on the (cold) stove for a while before being served. I vaguely remember that at other Maki of Japan’s that the vegetables would at least be half heartedly fried up. The ordering system here can get confusing since they stick toothpicks (no names) to identify the different types of meat/sides for each order. This food court can get pretty busy at times so it’s easy to lose track of which order is yours if you turn away even for a second. (I’m pretty sure the lady behind me in line mistakingly took my order..). The service is really average. When I came here a few months ago the chef was actually being kind of invasive and asking me lots of strange questions. He kept making comments to the point where I felt kind of uncomfortable at his advances and had to step away from the counter to hide at a table. He hasn’t been there the more recent times I’ve been to Maki of Japan, however. All in all, an average Maki of Japan with very average (and sometimes creepy) service. There are better options in this food court if you’re not craving teriyaki.

Plaza III Steakhouse – Menu with Prices – 12631 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park

We have dined at this restaurant four times since it relocated to Overland Park. Three times we were there for dinner and one time for happy hour. We have had one good experience for dinner and two that were unacceptable. Happy hour was great — great service and food and prices and we’ll definitely return for that. Our experience for dinner in December and this most recent experience were unacceptable. Our experience in January was great. When we were there for dinner with friends last weekend it was the worst experience of the four we had. The service was slow and the food mediocre. Drink and appetizer service was also slow, they arrived about the same time dinner was served. There were four different entrees served at the table and the most positive comment was that the food was passable. The prime rib was a nice cut and cooked perfectly but was tough, the same with the filet and the shrimp in the shrimp/scallops dish were chewy. The caesar salad and wedge were drenched in dressing, WAY too much. The spinch on the oysters rockefeller was almost raw. We expressed our displeasure to the Manager and he gave us a complimentary bottle of wine — which was nice of him, but really didn’t make up for the unacceptable experience. I really hate to give up on eating dinner here because our one good experience in January during Restaurant Week was that good. But for the prices they charge I don’t want to take a chance on spending a lot of money for a dining experience that is unacceptable.
