I had the most wonderful time at The Pinnacle Club yesterday. The food was wonderful and the ambiance incredible. It was charming and tasteful in every way. It was the perfect setting for a luncheon with friends and a view that was spectacular. Our waitress was so sweet and made our lunch even more special by offering to take our photo for us. I can only imagine how beautiful a wedding or any special occasion would be here. But, with the size of the rooms, you could have meetings here or just enjoy a meal and enjoy the view. It’s a treasure in Augusta – I will need to go back.

Baker’s Man Inc Menu with Prices 1025 Nine N Dr # P, Alpharetta

Working with Baker’s Man owner Mark was so much fun! My fiancé and I were very pleased at how helpful and knowledgeable he was when we first met. We didn’t know the first thing about choosing our wedding & grooms cakes and Mark helped us every step of the way! My parents also really enjoyed our meetings with him. Not only is he super talented, but he is fun to work with! We traded stories and got to know Mark along the way and that was great! After tasting many combos of cake flavors, we finally decided on our cakes and couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome! He created the most beautiful 6 tier lace cake that I’ve ever seen. He replicated the pearls from my gown and even included one of my very own vintage cameo to truly make our wedding cake suit us perfectly! My fiancé knew he wanted a GA Tech cake and Mark helped him design a wonderful carrot cake! Many of our guests said these were the tastiest cakes that they’ve ever had! He also was sweet enough to box up our anniversary topper and send home with my parents for safe keeping. We can’t wait until next year when we can enjoy it all over again! Thanks Mark for everything!

Sunday Rose Cakes – Menu with Prices – 6056 Greenspring Road, Fredericksburg

Greg and I met Lautonia at a Bridal Expo. As soon as I met her, I knew that she had to make our cake. Not only did she have an infectious smile and pleasant disposition, her cakes were delicious too. She did not disappoint us. Our wedding cake was gorgeous. It was the best wedding cake I ever had. Normally, I don’t eat all of the cake at a wedding. This time I wanted more. Our first bite photo turned into we are eating this entire slice. Each layer (chocolate, red velvet and cookie butter) was equally moist and delicious. We doubt that the top layer will make it to our anniversary. From our initial meeting, to the cake tasting and wedding, we had a wonderful experience. We recommend Sunday Rose Cakes 1000times over.

California’s Best Catering & Events – Menu with Prices – 7948 Convoy Ct, San Diego

The food was amazing!! They completely did a menu exactly tailored to what we wanted and what we could afford. The salmon with mango sauce was incredible! The decor, the presentation, the punctuality among many other things gives them a full 5 stars. Charlete and Shelly were incredible in communicating quickly and were super responsive. Every detail of our catering needs for our wedding were taken care of !! Not only would I highly recommend them but will hopefully use them again as well. I was amazed that the catering crew was more in tune with my needs as a bride that day than my wedding coordinator. They offered me water before coming down the aisle. They served us food at our table when we sat down to eat. I could go on and on. Wonderful catering experience!! Thank you California’s Best Catering!1

June’s Cakery – Menu with Prices – 2545 E Division St, Springfield

Ella is wonderful to work with! She was so sweet and patient with us while we were deciding on the cake for my daughters wedding. The cake was wonderful and exactly what the bride and groom wanted. The strawberry filling was a wonderful surprise for the wedding guests that expected the same ol’ traditional wedding cake. Ella was very accomodating with the pick up time as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better price, experience or better tasting cake…Ella did a wonderful job!

Chef T’s Garden Grill – Menu with Prices – 1525 E Gary Rd, Lakeland

I’ve been obsessed with this restaurant since I first dined here about a year ago. The food, the ambiance, the people, the history all make for a dining experience you can’t get anywhere else around here. The food: I’ve never had a single thing here that I didn’t absolutely love. I’m a picky eater, so that’s saying a lot for me. I’ve tried many new foods here as well and they’ve all been delicious so far. The ambiance and history: The fact that you get to enjoy such unique, delectable dishes in the house where Lawton Chiles spent many days as a kid gives the experience a historical significance. The dining rooms are set within the home’s original layout, so it’s easy to imagine the memories and lives that were shared here. The people: The two people I’m most familiar with are Chef Terry and Sam. Enough great things can’t be said about Chef T. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he’s very personable and down to earth as well. Sam is the waiter that we’ve had every time we’ve been here. At first, I didn’t think he was very personable, but boy was I wrong. The thing about Sam is that he isn’t fake and he won’t flatter you in hopes that it’ll lead to a good tip. If you expect an adulator for a waiter, Sam isn’t your guy. I think that’s what I like most about him. He’s real. And he has such a wonderful personality. Honestly I think that’s one of the things that makes the experience so memorable for me; I know that I’m getting an authentic experience with authentic people. This is my absolute favorite place to eat and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t been here before.

1 Hotel South Beach – Menu with Prices – 2341 Collins Ave, Miami Beach

Misleading marketing on rooms. And a staff that doesn’t stand behind their customers. The hotel is beautiful. I had such high hopes staying here, but started off our trip on a horrible front and was so disappointed by the customer service. We booked a ocean view room with balcony, and as you can see – the view we got was of the other side of the hotel. If you stood in the corner of the balcony you could barely glimpse a sight of the ocean. Effectively, the room was nothing like the picture of the room we thought were booking. When calling guest services, they basically told me that I had to call Expedia to deal with this. They did not want to help and didn’t seem to stand by their misleading marketing. More importantly, they didn’t even seem to care that they had an unhappy, disappointed and downright deceived customer. Most businesses would care when dealing with such a dissatisfied customer. For such a nice hotel, they need to learn about two crucial aspects in hospitality. This will keep customers happy and coming back (we certainly won’t be back) – 1. Don’t false advertise your rooms. Ocean view means ocean view, not view of other side of hotel. 2. Customers service is everything. Don’t tell your customers to basically “fuck off” when you’ve mislead and deceived them So disappointed in this hotel. This is supposedly a 5 star hotel – they need to visit the Ritz for a lesson in customer service.

For Goodness Cakes – Menu with Prices – 6017 N Clinton St, Fort Wayne

Me and my wife went wedding cake shopping here. The moment I bit into the first sample cupcake was a divine experience. The owner was delightful to work with and did a great job of anticipating our needs and beautifully worked in our wedding flowers on the cake. It looked gorgeous and we could not be happier. Was looking up the hours because I thought I’d surprise the wife by getting a few cupcakes for us on the way home, saw this and decided I’d write a review and share the goodness. If you’re looking for a special occasion cake, this place is 5 stars, A+, all around wonderful.

Wedding Cakes By Jim Smeal – Menu with Prices – 657 N Sterling Dr, Charleston

JIM SMEAL made our wedding cake years ago and my husband and i still talk about our amazing cake. It is still to this day the best wedding cake I have ever tasted (and we thought that at the tasting) Jim truly makes cakes that are as tasty as they and are beautiful! Over the years, we have ordered mini cakes for birthdays and anniversaries and his work has always been consistent. When you’ve been making cakes for decades that’s not always true. If you want a truly memorable cake for any occasion have your cake made by Jim Smeal (I love them all but recommend the white chocolate with real raspberry puree filling . It’s icing is light and not overly sweet like a lot of weekend cakes. The cake is so moist and just as good for our first anniversary as it was our wedding day)

Shamane’s Bake Shoppe – Menu with Prices – 2825 Wilderness Pl #800, Boulder

We hand-selected Shamane’s Bake Shoppe from an entire list of bakeries to create our dream wedding cake for our Winter Wonderland Wedding in January. We had previously tasted a wedding cake Shamane had made for my brother’s wedding several years prior, and we remembered how delicious it was. We had a wonderful cake-tasting meeting with Shamane at her bakery in Boulder, sampling six different flavors of cake (all were delicious, moist, rich, and very edible). We chose our top three flavors (Almond Raspberry, Gingerbread Caramel, Lemon Ricotta) and couldn’t have been happier with how grand the flavoring turned out to be. We told Shamane exactly what we wanted for the design of the cake – Three Tier, White Buttercream Icing and Fondant Icing with Draping. We also asked for Sugared “Frosted” Berries to accent. Shamane is truly a wonderful person. She is sweet, thoughtful, welcoming and an absolute pleasure to work with. She is also an extraordinary pastry chef. She was a great asset to our wedding team. Our wedding day took place during a beautiful January snow storm (perfect for our theme) and Shamane made quite the exciting, snowy drive from Boulder to Littleton to deliver our cake. She was perfectly timed, and the moment we saw the cake, we were blown away. It was more magnificent, elegant and beautiful than we were expecting, and we already knew it was going to be gorgeous ? We received so many compliments from our guests, saying it was the most beautiful wedding cake they have ever seen and how delicious it was. It definitely was the most beautiful, unique wedding cake we’ve ever seen, and it truly was our dream cake in reality. The design was definitely “us” and what exactly we wanted. The taste was impeccable and the best flavor/texture we’ve ever had. We are beyond pleased with Shamane and the beautiful Winter Wonderland Fairytale Wedding Cake she created for us. Shamane sent a very nice card after our wedding and is making us a fresh cake tier in our favorite flavor for our First Anniversary. She knows how to make her clients feel special. We highly recommend Shamane and Shamane’s Bake Shoppe for any wedding, birthday, or other celebration you are planning!

Martin’s Tavern, Est 1933 – Menu with Prices – 1264 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington

My family of four came here for a late lunch last week. Only two other tables were occupied, but the bar was full. The history and ambiance of Martin’s is wonderful. The food and drink were fine, and the service was awful. First off, we couldn’t understand our Hispanic waitress. She was very nice, but we just flat out couldn’t understand her, she spoke very softly, and she kept having to repeat herself. We waited almost 10 min. for two cocktails and two ginger ales. They obviously had been sitting for most of that time because they were watered down when served. Our two salads and two sandwiches were fine, nothing special. I wanted to change my order after I discovered they had soft shell crab, but our waitress disappeared until our food arrived. (It should have been suggested by our waitress!)Then she disappeared for the rest of our meal! I would have had a wine with my lunch and we would have ordered dessert. We were on vacation, it was my husband’s birthday and we were ready to go all out on this meal! By the time our waitress reappeared, we were ready to go, so we paid the check. It started pouring rain, so we decided to have a cocktail, dessert and wait it out. Alas! No server to be found. Two hostesses stood at the front door chatting, but our waitress was nowhere to be found! She came out once to take an order at the next table, we attempted to flag her down, but she didn’t even look our way. Overall, the terrible service cast a dark cloud on what we thought would be a fun, lively lunch. Martin’s lost a nice chunk of potential revenue from our little table of four. Thank goodness for the history and charm, that is the only thing worth writing about. Save your money or go to Old Ebbitt Grill. We had a fabulous lunch there!

Walter Burke Catering – Menu with Prices – 1209 Calle de Comercio, Santa Fe

We used WBC for our wedding in Santa Fe this past weekend and they were nothing short of incredible. Actually, the entire planning process has been seamless. We worked with Angela Reece, and she is incredible responsive with emails, and she was great and patient with me through all of my changes! In fact, she helped immensely when I started to panic with prices, and she helped me out so much aweigh explaining and helping to craft a day that would fit our budget and still be amazing. And then on the wedding day, Walter Burke was simply amazing. At the end of the night I tried to shake every servers hand I could find to thank them for how wonderful it was and how much I appreciated their positive energy, attitude, and attentiveness! Susan, one of the captains, was incredible and made sure everything was perfect!! They also worked well with my family when setting up decor. All in all, everything turned out way better than I could have ever expected, the food was AMAZING, and it was all because of WBC. I recommend them to anyone in the area, a couple of my friends were asking if they did events in Texas!! That’s when you know it’s good. This company is amazing and make every experience personal and intimate. I can’t thank them all enough!!!
