"a positive experience. my man had garnel, which were very good, and I had the brisket with senfsauce, which was absolutely phenomenal! melt in the mouth and the sose was so tasteful. one of the top dishes I've ever had. we also ordered the scallop appetizer, the scallops were well cooked, but a little small, but it had large pieces of booze and a large smokey apple sauce on the plate. service was a bit slow to start, we sat about 15-20 minutes without anyone coming to say hello or drinking order. also the free brot was cold and hard and lubricated by raw flour. some up and down, but I would wait much longer than 20 minutes to have this braut again!"

"I enjoy going to Taos for Happy Hour with friends. I have also had a good lunch experience there before. They offer a nice selection of beer on tap and their wines are better than many other places in the area. The food is Asian fusion style and some dishes are quite delicious. My partner absolutely loves the swordfish dumplings. The appetizer sizes are generous for the price and it's fun to order a few and share them with the table. They recently removed some seating in the bar area to make space for larger communal tables. While not ideal, it can be slightly uncomfortable to have strangers sitting right next to you, especially if you're with a group of friends."

"It was my husband's birthday; it was nice out and still light so we sat outside the dining area inside is very dark). It's a nice setup but is super noisy from the Milwaukee ave traffic. I ordered the crab leg cocktail which must have been hurriedly thawed because there were ice crystals and it was watery. They're known for steaks so I had the 3 filets ordered medium. The server brought them out and suggested we check for doneness thought that was nice) mine was way too rare. So I asked it be cooked another couple of minutes; about 10 minutes later it came back totally well done. I took a couple of bites but it was awful. The sides were good and I ate them and declined having a new order made. The manager came over and very nicely took it off the bill but I would have preferred to have had them cooked properly and enjoyed. Also, the 3 crusts were mushy and indistinguishable. My husband's steak was ordered cmediumnrare and was fine."

"From the street, the restaurant looked inviting. On entry, we were welcomed warmly and shown to a cozily located table. The menu offered a good range of classic French dishes, including a version of poutine (a Québécois speciality) with canard. The wine list offered a wide range of inviting wines, we chose a French red from M Chapoutier - delicious!We all three had vegetable soup to start, then we had confit of duck, burger and pizza. When they arrived, the presentation was superb, but it was surpassed by the quality and flavour of the food itself. This was a most enjoyable meal, and when the time for dessert came, the Creme Brulait (1) and Pavlova (2) were all that one could ask for. And all this served up by a friendly, helpful team who made us feel welcome and valued guests."

"3/5/20 Made Bar seating reservation for pre theater dining. Sat at the bar. Cocktails were very good. We decided to enjoy a couple of appetizers for our dinner. The lobster poutine was a great take on the traditional dish. On the other hand, the calamari was awful. The rings were small and over fried. When we told the bartender about the calamari, he took it off the bill without question. The food was slow in coming. Overall, a good experience and we’d recommend Mercy as a great place to go before attending any Orpheum performance."

"The evening started when we were trying to valet our car on a busy downtown street to get into the restaurant. We had to go into the restaurant twice for the restaurant staff to help us find a valet. While I realize the valet is separate from the restaurant, there isn’t any other option on how to park considering it is downtown so they should ensure that for their guests. Once we walked in the restaurant we noticed it was almost empty On a Saturday evening at 7 PM, and by the end of our dinner, we knew why. Our waiter seemed really nice and great at first, but said a few offhanded remark‘s that seemed a little odd. We proceeded to order cocktails and three appetizers for the table,. Our cocktails took almost 15 minutes to arrive and almost an hour later our entrées showed up and no appetizers were ever brought. We asked the waiter several times during the hour wait if the appetizers were coming and each time he told us they were. As far as the entrées, they were par at best and not worth the price. The two best things about this restaurant was the girl who poured our water and the gentleman who seem to be the manager. Our water glasses stayed full and the manager basically ended up waiting on our table towards the end. Definitely not a restaurant I will visit again."

"What a lovely time we had at the Essex! The service was excellent, and the food was very good too excellent. Unfortunately, unfortunately we had to sit outdoors but we got lucky with a beautiful evening. The outdoor speaker was a little loud, but the weight staff was happy to turn it down so we could hear each other better. The food was excellent, except that my halibut had too much Asian soy sauce sitting in the bottom, soaking up in the rice. And my spring salad was almost exactly what I got for vegetables in my halibut dish, so it was a little bit redundant. they did serve a creamy asparagus soup that was out of this world. We will definitely come back."

"I got overcharged and never refunded. I ordered 4 things so the total should have been around $50, but got charged almost double. I called and explained what happened, and the manager said they will call me back. They never did. It?s been almost 2months and no one has called me even though I called multiple times. Every time they ask for a name and number, and will promiseyou they will call you back the same day. They never do. Instead, the manager will give you attitude for being upset for beingovercharged and will waste your time. Looked at the other reviews and now it makes sense. Food is also mediocre and not worthit. Don?t be fooled by the nice location. Only good if you like being overcharged and having your time wasted. Don?t be fooledif they respond to my review saying they tried to contact me, trust me they didn?t."

"I 'd like to start by saying that this restaurant should hands-down be the #1 contemporary American cuisine in St Louis and easily one of the top 20 or better restaurants in St Louis. My wife and I went here for a date night dinner and were completely impressed by everything from the service, to the wine selection, to the food, and ambiance. The restaurant itself has clearly attracted the attention of St Louis ' elite upper class as the restaurant clientele were so exuberant that we honestly felt a little out of place there. We enjoyed a delicious burette appetizer and I had the gumbo; which is a rotating option based on the availability of ingredients and chef 's inspiration. The gumbo wa probably the best gumbo I 've eaten outside of Louisiana. A lot of menu items had the chef 's Louisiana roots; gumbo, spices, and the Wedge Salad even came with craw fish on it (rather unique! . There were a number of chef 's special items and the menu was just large enough to provide options for everyone, while not being too bloated that it was hard to make a choice. The execution on the kitchen staff 's part was a perfect 10 out of 10. Our waiter was attentive, although clearly busy. We did not feel he was overbearing, but when the restaurant was full, it was evident that he was very engrossed in the number of tables he had. The only improvement area that I 'd offer/advise of future guests is that it was very evident that the people with the deepest pockets were given PLENTY of attention. My wife and I were well dressed and respectful, but the maitre 'D and front of the house staff spent most of their time ensuring that a select number of tables were enjoying their evening the most. A simple How 's everything with your meal from the front of the house staff is where the team could focus. Overall, we definitely will be back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The price point is clearly well represented on TripAdvisor at the level. For the two of us, we spent 400 (including tip and ordered a lower-tier bottle of wine. An adult family of four or two couples on a date night could easily spend close to 1,000 here (including alcohol and tip ."

"Disappointing experience overall. Despite booking a standard table, we were initially offered a high table, requiring us to request a change. The food was a mixed bag: the salmon dish lacked the promised currant sauce, though the crème brûlée was excellent. Portions were notably small. The meal ended unpleasantly with the waiter pressuring for tips in a rude way. The restaurant needs to pay fair wages to waiters. Regrettably, this visit was not worth it."

"Kawa Ramen And Sushi is an excellent choice for sushi lovers, featuring outdoor seating. The food is truly delicious, and the menu offers a wide variety of options, paired with outstanding customer service. Although I didn't snap any photos, we also indulged in shrimp udon soup with vegetable tempura and salmon teriyaki (the salmon was slightly overcooked, though). The pork belly buns were absolutely fantastic! Enjoy your meal!"

"If you want to experience France in Long Beach, go here: It?s super cramped, no a/c, kind of smelled, waitress took forever to take orders and deliver food. The crepes weren?t anything to write home about. I ordered the ?Fromage? buckwheat crepe with Brie cheese. I specifically asked if the casing of the cheese was in the crepe and the waitress said it wasn?t. Well after almost an hour wait it came out with all of the casing from the Brie. I know many people like that, but I don?t prefer it and would have ordered something else. The side salad it was served with had a dressing on top that tasted like straight mayo. I really couldn?t eat that either. Disappointing. Almost two hours spent at this place just waiting for our orders to be taken, food to be delivered and bill issued."

"we were in san diego for a conference and we wanted to eat filipino in a beautiful restaurant. there are many possibilities especially in the national city, but most are steamy, casual places (what the filipinos would call turo turo). this restaurant was a class that all its own and it is in the cool gas lamp district. first line makes it filipino eating accessible for non-philippinic. eating was very nicely plated. I had the crispy fish with the tamarindenbrot a senusitis. the fish (can not remember the name) was actually crispy on the outside and moist in the inner. the broth, cast table side, is nice tangig. the court came with a melange of vegetables including bokchoy, radishes, kartoffels and long beans. my only complain is that long beef, in contrast to the current fad from half cooked vegetables, to tenderly cooked and to be infused with the taste of the broth. the court did not come with tears, but no problem, I stole the bowl of my man who came with his escape. my man had all the fried fish with wine, tomato sauce. I liked this court very much, although some people may be deposed from eating who look back at you. the sweet tomato sauce has compiled the crispy fried fish. I forgot, we also ordered the salt and pepper calamari appetizer with picked paprika. the taste is good, but the calamari are a tad overcooked. to dessert we had the "Halo-Halo", which is really not exactly as the actual. the amount of emigrated to compose this dessert is obviously two kinds of mousse, reis crispy (not so crispy), fresh fruit compot (many knife work involved) and a sweet red bean, condensed milcheis pop. I think the rumor must be fried quickly so that it appears like popcorn. it tasted raw. I appreciate the efforts that were disserted in this, but the "Halo-Halo-" (Mix-Mix) was lost, as the components do not seem to go together. I would rather have sweet bananas and jackfruits in syrup than the fresh fruit. but still I wish this restaurant well."

"The appetizers: tuna tartare, pork bellies, calamari were excellent. The key lime pie and espresso and Stella Artois were excellent. The service was excellent. But I was really looking forward to the steak and this is a steakhouse. I had the 16 ozdry aged Delmonico, $68, and it was not a good experience. There was so much fat and grizzle, it was really more like 4 oz ofdelicious steak and about 12 oz of fat, grizzle and mediocre meat. You would think the chef or somebody in the kitchen wouldlook at that piece of meat before they bring it out to a customer and say hey maybe this isn't really up to our standards, but Iguess not. I would definitely go back because I work across the street from there at the merchandise mart, but I'm definitelynot going to order steak there again. Very disappointing. Tasted more like a steak from Outback or something versus a high-enddowntown restaurant."

"We stay the Century Plaza occasionally and get the 2 for 1 entree coupons, and if not for the coupons we probably wouldn't go. While they have learned to cook a really solid steak and most of the menu is pretty great as well, 40 bucks for a bare steak is steep. 3 people, no drinks, no dessert, and one appy, and 2 sides was 140 bucks (and only one had a steak.) I guess these as downtown Vancouver prices but you could have a compatible dinner at Hy's for 180 or so. The servers are more attentive than they used to be but still don't give a fine dining feel. Basically I think it needs to be 15% cheaper or 15% better."

"Best Polish food between Warsaw and Chicago. The white borscht and dill pickle soup were amazing appetizers. The Polish Platter and Vegetarian platters were delicious. The pierogi were excellent. The cabbage rolls were excellent and the kielbasa was grilled to perfection. The cheese blintz was maybe the crown jewel of the meal. Next time I'm visiting Brooklyn, I'll definitely be back!"

"A totally hidden jewel of Miami Ambiance is super beautiful, chill, good music and the decor is really cool. From the outside it seems that it is a normal place, but once you enter its completely different story The food is also amazing. Especially the short rib on the grill and the pig bell baos. The Bi-Bim-Bap is ok- ask for the sweet soy sauce to improve the taste. Service is also amazing. Great, great place"

"Very disappointing dining experience! We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation time, 6:30, and were seated right away. From That point the dining experience went down hill. First of all it Took a long time to order and get drinks. Then when we were asked if we were ready to order we were told that the they were already out of the braised short ribs. 3 people from the party were planning to order the ribs. Now we had to reconsider our choices. Once we ordered the food it took an hour to get our meals. We never saw our waiter again until the meals came. During the hour he never offered bread, to refill Our water glasses or ask if we wanted another drink. The meals were good, not great. When we finished eating we had to flag the waiter down to get the check. We really were anxious to leave and end the prolonged dinner."
