I have to say that my experience with Gesinee's so far has been GREAT!
My mom and I went into the shop back in August for an appointment with Francine, one of the consultants there. I went in not knowing what kind of dress I wanted or should consider for my body type.
Francine took a few minutes and asked me general questions about materials and styles that I might like and gave me the chance to voice my concerns about my body type and what I would consider "problem areas".
We were guided over to the racks of dresses in my size (and I must say, there is a HUGE selection!) and Francine advised that we should just start looking through the racks and pull out any dresses that I liked and would like to try on.
While my mom & I slowly started looking through dresses, Francine was busy flipping through the rack and pulled out a couple to show me. One I really liked off the rack and agreed to try on, the other, I was ready to dismiss instantly because it was a style that I hadn't considered and really didn't think would be flattering on my frame. But, I decided to try it on anyway so that I can just prove to myself and Francine that we could rule out that style.
I tried on a few dresses that I pulled off the rack myself and did find 1 or 2 that I liked. Then I tried on the dress that I was supposed to dismiss and was taken by surprise as Francine bustled me up.
I was a bit in shock as I stood in the mirror and saw how flattering this dress was on me! All I could say was, "I'm surprised by this dress!" I walked out of the fitting room to show my mom and she was just speachless! And trust me, that NEVER happens!
My mom's eyes welled up with tears and she reached into her purse and handed her credit card to Francine!
I am so grateful to Francine and the expert eye she had for picking the perfect dress for my body type!
She was very friendly and pleasurable to work with. And even though I think we went over our scheduled time for the appointment, she was extremely patient and I never felt like I was being rushed out of the shop.
We were advised that my dress could take up to 5 months to receive because it was a "Special Edition". But, to my surprise again, less than 3 months later, Gesinee's called to inform me that my dress has arrived!
I have an appointment this Friday to try on and pick up my dress and I expect to leave there a very happy customer!

Great food!!! We orderd the prawn fried rice (large prawns), sweet and sour chicken (all white meat) mangolian beef (wish it was a little more spicier, but good), and the egg fu young (very vey good and hard to find). The food was fresh and smelled wonderful.
The restaurant appeard clean and had a nice decor.
I'm so glad we tried Peking Village and will probably go at least once a month.
Pros: Great food, clean restaurant
Cons: Parking, needs more windows

My mother and I went into Gesinee's Bridal for my Homecoming dress, which would also be used for my Sweet Sixteen Masquerade party. There was many selections and styles and colors. I was very pleased when my dress came, and the alterations center finished my dress so that I look fabulous! All my friends told me that that the dress was beautiful, and it was very classy and gorgeous!
The assistants were great. They had beautiful, warming smiles and were eager to help. I felt all young women were very professional and quite helpful!
Thanks so much. You helped make two of the best nights of my life!

For my kid's party last year, we held it at Waterworld and it was great! I set it up online for for 19.99 per ticket, same pricing as a regular ticket... but because its the birthday package, you also get a reserved table (with coverage from the sun), pizza, ice cream and soda for everyone. You normally get the food all at once but we asked if we could save the ice cream for later and they were totally flexible. They even gave us fresh soda when we came back! Minimum purchase amount is 8 tickets, but with that, you get a 9th ticket free, plus free inner tube rental for the birthday kid. Seems like if youre going with a group of friends, you should get the birthday bash anyways, even if its no one's birthday, since its such a good deal! Plus all the kids (and even the adults) had a great time going on all the water rides!

It is hard to find a business these days where the owner is there taking care of you and cares that you are satisfied. I went in without an appointment and after a consult they had the unit installed in my Eurovan in 30 mins. This the way I imagine business was conducted 50 years ago when most businesses were family owned. The young installers really know their business. Would highly recommend.
Pros: Friendly folks, honest, fast service, reasonable prices

This is a great place for kids. They live up to their name "The Jungle". Lively entertainment for kids between 3 and maybe 10. They have one of the largest play structures I've ever seen. They also have games to play. Even if you are not a kid, you definitely will have fun with the games! I just love the environment where everything is safari looking. This is a great family fun time...you'll have a blast with the kids.

Claim jumpers is a great place for any event. The food there is great and there is a lot of variety. I think the only thing bad about it is that it is so hard to decide on a dish since there are so many. Many people say that restaurants with a big menu aren't that good because restaurants should concentrate on one type of food, but i have tried many different dishes and they are all so great! My favorites have to be the Rotisserie Chicken, Brie Chicken Sandwich, Chicken & Buttermilk Biscuits and Honey Blonde Fish & Chips. Their portions are huge and are enough to take home and eat for another meal. The prices are okay given that it is basically two meals worth of food. The atmosphere is great and we always have fun when go there.
They do not take reservations, however you can sometimes call ahead and tell them you'll be there in an hour and to put you on the list. Otherwise the wait is usually over an hour during rush hours.

This is a very small, but quaint little Italian Restaurant. I have been to this place a few times and the food has always been exemplary. The service can be a little slow at times, but the staff is friendly and accommodating. This restaurant has a nice menu with many appetizers and good pastas. Though I do not drink wine, they have a great wine menu featuring the best of Napa Valley. This is a quiet place and can be very romantic. I would suggest, if they still have it on their menu, the Spaghetti Arrabiatta. This is a slightly spicy sauce, but very simple and delicious. This is a great place to come on a weekend night for some good Italian Fare.
