"My husband and I dined at Reserve on a Saturday night before going to the theater. I ordered the duck breast for my entree. Ten minutes later our server returned to say that they had a special party that evening and they were saving the duck for them. This left me feeling like I wasn 't special to them. I would have rather been told they were out of the dish than to have been told I wasn 't special enough to order this dish. Kinda put a sour note on the meal. Ended up ordering the fish special calamari sautéed with tomatoes, olives, capers and croutons. It was very good. Our appetizer was lamb meatballs that were good buy could have been more tender."

"We have thrived in Michelin-star restaurants all over the world and have always trusted this review as our experiences were always phenomenal. Yesterday Barndiva was a great disappointment. Our dishes were lacking in sophistication, surprise or the elevated artistry we would expect from a Michelin cook. The dishes were either too strong spices or oiled or lack of taste. We could hear from some neighboring tables (as we were crowded together) that they had a similar experience of spicy or inspiring tastes. Even the food presentation was simple and simple. Our service was subordinate and uncoordinated. We had to ask many times to refill our water to cool off the excessively seasoned first course. You missed clearing our plates before a next course arrived. We also had a birthday dinner and they only remembered at the end of the evening. We have asked for basic food allergies substitutions. The waitress was not aware of some dishes. It seemed to the boss lacked the ability to swing on some of the dishes and the result was even more disappointing for the dishes he modified. Note, some dishes were as intended and still subpar. The total value was not there for the meal. We have frustrated and disappointed. We had chosen Barndiva for an extraordinary birthday dinner. We've been overpaid. Even for half the price, it would still not be worth the money. We would recommend Guiso Latin Fusion for increased taste profiles, presentation and creativity for a fraction of the cost."

"extensive wine map with beautiful, handmade cocktails and large whisky selection including flights. the food was delicious, although dishes can be added. the entries were correspondingly portioned and negated within, perhaps something on the expensive side for the order they receive. a very nice experience for our first time, only google restaurants and found good reviews. in any case a place to celebrate a special occasion."

"Steven Libby Bollich had made reservations a week in advance. The service was great and the server(s) knowledgeable in all facets. The food was very well prepared and the portions satisfying. We had an issue (known to Jackson's by previous complaints as admitted by management) of a serving buffet/storage facility for glassware, beer, and utensils among other sorts of table preparation items. Our table was placed right next to all the clanging of noise as servers did their job. We complained twice and received apology etc. We spoke with management about the issue and made note of extra seating that was not near all the noise. We were not compensated or moved to a different table. All in all, we had a good time, as we are truly happy folks (most of the time)"

"It was a birthday dinner. We hadn’t been together as a group for a year due to COVID, so we were really looking forward to it. We picked MGFD because it’s consistently good and most central to us all. The experience was horrible from the start. We waited a long while just to get water, and longer for the drinks. They arrived after our appetizers. We ordered the whole snapper who unbeknownst to us was at least an hour wait. I wish the sever would’ve mentioned that as they held the rest of our food with it. They tried bringing us chips; however it was in no ones interest. To make a long story shorter, most of the food quality was still what was expected, but the service was horrible and to make it worse, when the manager approached us to apologize, he offered us complimentary deserts as it was a birthday celebration, and never did one arrive at the table. We were there hours, and it was the longest meal I’ve had to wait for in my life. I don’t even think the fish was started til after and hour and a half into our visit. The hamburger was completely over cooked or left sitting waiting for the fish and it kept cooking itself. Regardless, the birthday girl, a foodie, was more than disappointed by the experience. This is my first and hopefully my only poor review on this site. Best"

"We were so disappointed with our experience at Milk and Honey, because we have read several good reviews which prompted us to try it out. The audio system was down, and there seemed to be a baseball game playing on the radio in the kitchen. Our waiter recommended a dish that enticed us, but we were not able to get it because it was not available (we were first people in the restaurant that morning for brunch). Two people in out party ordered the Lox, and when it arrived, it was without the caviar, which was a huge selling point sold to us by our waiter. We were not told there was not caviar, but instead, after we brought it to our waiter's attention, he reported back that the chef felt the caviar was not fresh enough, so he left it off. We were then offered something else to put on the Lox sandwich. Overall, it was an expensive experience and not a fun brunch experience. The food was mediocre. Sadly, we will not return."

"First post-COVID visit to the dining room. Parallax's provisions seem sensible no paper menus, all staff masked, tables distanced, ample sanitizer. Felt very comfortable. Only downside to the experience was that we were seated next to the kitchen more bustle and noise than ideal Staffing and attention we received were lavish (perhaps a plus of distancing), food delicious, novel and with beautiful presentation. Thai sausage extremely tasty and unique. Parallax reminded me of everything I had been missing under the shutdown thanks"

"Great wonton noodle soup house. Quintessential Chinatown experience. Wonton Soup still pre-Covid priced at $7.50/bowl. Extras inflated the cost but brought me back to lunches and its friends and family. Served with hot tea and appetizer plate of roast pork,duck, and crispy pork belly. Fed four of us at $80 with tip. Come in for a regular meal in Chinatown. No fancy experience but good home cooked meal."

"what a fantastic addition to the neighboring! the baked were amazing and freshly made before spot. if they are looking for coffee (they serve boulder’s boxcar) and a bake, that is it with a beautiful terrace. and if they are looking for a more complete breakfast, that is ice, sink and cheese croissant delicious, the fresh homemade croissants are so good! other good options are on the menu, I am back soon to check them. Welcome to the neighbourhood jeannot’s patisserie bistro!"

"Never had food cooked by a Michelin star chef before. Chef O did not disappoint and was well deserving of the star. He has trained and met various high profile chefs but has such a personable and friendly personality. Food: We had a party of 6 and it was priced reasonably well for high quality food with elegant presentation. In Seattle and other metropolitan areas this would be almost double the amount. We did the Valentine's Day special and the first dish was an amuse bouche to clean our palate. Let me tell you, the oyster with wasabi caviar was amazing! Then we had the tuna carpaccio and the fried capers wow I wanted a dish of capers just as an app! Then came the main entree which was lobster risotto and it was pretty amazing as well. The sorbet and strawberry mousse very tasty as well. Perfect end to our evening! Ambiance: The decor was nice it felt like a mini art gallery and we sat upstairs. Unfortunately it was dark outside so we did not get to enjoy much of the view of the Slough but it did give some off some romantic vibes with the candlelit tables and dark lighting. if you are doing these 5 6 course dinner, be prepared to stick around for a few hours as it's all about the presentation and enjoying the flavors of the dishes. Overall I had a pleasant experience and would recommend this place if you are in Coos Bay."

"our great experience began with a phone call directly from the restaurant after booking a sat night reservation on the open table app. They called us for "people just don't leave their tables to move our rswp 30 minutes back. many other restaurants let us just wait. we're here early and they were busy! the host who called us immediately knew who we were and put us on a big table. I thank her for the heads. our culinary experience was just as good. fast, tasty and affordable. we will definitely come back because they took care of us and try out the rest of their menu."

"We were incredibly disappointed by the food and service at this restaurant. Despite being loyal customers for 20 years, we will no longer be returning. The wait staff is completely new and either poorly trained or simply lacking a service-oriented mindset. Our meal got off to a bad start when our waiter accidentally spilled a whole glass of water on me, then made a flippant remark about dessert being on him without even apologizing. There was no visit from the manager or any other attempt to make amends. The food itself was subpar - the mussels were small and tough, and the white wine was served at room temperature. We couldn't wait to leave. It's a shame to see a once beloved restaurant lose its appeal. We left feeling very let down."

"This was a disappointing experience. First I called to add a friend who came from out of town to our reservation. I was told there was no room and all the seats were reserved. Major lie. The restaurant was less than 50% occupied the entire time we were there. Second when we arrived at the hostess stand another staff member came over and in a not so polite tone and asked (told) us to hold on while they were resolving another matter. It would've taken less than a minute to seat us and matter discussed (in front of us as we waited) was non-urgent and could've waited. Third the food was so-so. I give them credit for the decor but they need to work on their people skills. I would've left when they sat us down but we were meeting new friends and I had to pay a deposit. With so many options in NOLA to dine at, I won't be dining here again."

"Service was great, food was terrible. I have never been to a restaurant of any class where the chefs put a $65 steak back on the grill in pieces if undercooked. This specific to Cilantro on the Lake in which our reservation was transferred. Surprised Emerald Lake management didn’t do more to compensate for the closure of the main lodge by providing a better guest experience for the restaurant that did remain open. Much anticipated trip to this location Very disappointed and will not be back."

"Two stars here for pleasant service and extensive beer list. But, not sure there's much else to celebrate. Place seems to be trying to be upscale beer bar and grill. Upscale pricing, but rest of the experience left something to be desired. TVs all over the place with sports, but despite multiple live playoff games in progress, only one of nearly a dozen had a live game, like they turned them on at lunch to NFL and Golf Channel and never thought about them again. Requested a channel, never happened. Beer menu (via QR code) had no prices with anything, left you guessing before an order. Food menu has sandwiches a la carte at $10-$15 without a side. Added a $4 side of grilled zucchini to one order and it had like 8 pieces, which for the price was insane (on its own plate, it also looked small). Had it been included with the entree even at a higher price we probably wouldn't have noticed, but when you price everything separately, you expect the portion to match the expense. And, honestly be a quality that is special. An entree salad came out with different ingredients than listed on the menu, only to be told by staff that it was now prepared a new way. Other items that friends had come for were no longer on the menu. Things change, just not sure they are changing for the better here. All in all, the food was not terrible, just not up to upscale standard. Beer selection is indeed impressive. But, feel like there has to be something else in the area that can be worth this expense and be memorable for more positive reasons."

"The first place I was shown to was not good, so I asked to change to a seat on the lanai, but was told no. When I asked them why, they simply answered Reservation without checking to see if there were any seats available. The seats were extremely close to each other, making the air stagnant and uncomfortable. (See attached image) Looking back on it now, there was no point in saying anything to the guy who seemed to be a part-time worker who was just guiding me to the seat I was assigned, and I should have complained to the person in charge who gave me the instructions. This is a really disappointing restaurant, as the food was delicious. Hospitality needs to be improved."

"I'm not sure if the issue lies with Open Table or the restaurant itself. I booked a table for two, which was supposedly the "only available time slot" according to the app. When I tried to change the reservation to four people, the app indicated that there were no tables available. However, upon arriving at the restaurant, we noticed that many tables were empty and stayed that way throughout our visit. When I asked the hostess about this, she informed me that any modifications needed to be made by phone."

"Meh. Full disclosure, we were there on “Girls Night Out” in Somerville. Unplanned. The bar was busy but the restaurant was not. Our waiter did not know the menu which was not great as he told me a dish I was ordering was not spicy, and it was very spicy. Inedible for me. When asked “why didn’t you tell me so I could have switch it out?” I didn’t have the heart to tell him it was because he never came to check on us. In fairness, he took it off the bill which I appreciated. And yes we tipped on the full amount. Steak was grisly and not seasoned. Steak fries were bland. Hopefully this was just an off night. Many other choices in that hood."
