The food was just passable. The wine list lacking. Service was amateur.

New month, new problem, with my basement ceiling leaking from the bathroom above. I had my basement in law flooded from the water heater that was faultily connected by the previous plumber, to roots from the tree in front of my house, which is apparently owned by the city - suffice it to say my run of plumbing bad luck had hit a trifecta, and it's just February yet.
I got bids and talked to two other plumbers before I turned to the internet to doublecheck on the reputation of these companies I was considering. In the process, I discovered Friendly Plumber and their good reviews, so with a reputation as good as theirs, they must be doing something right. It seemed unreal how they can please so many people. I had to try them for myself since I know that with my share of the insurance deductible, I had better be getting a job with solid results. My insurance company just won't stand for repeat visits anyhow.
Jo from Friendly Plumber showed up to my house with shoe booties, which I thought was a professional touch. He was courteous, and immediately got to diagnosing the fact that my son and I have a tendency to splash around the tub and water was escaping, causing the leak.
Thank God it was nothing major! He also noticed that our water heater still isn't strapped correctly, and this time, I'm no longer taking chances so I had him deal with that too. I am pleased with his expertise and am glad I did my research this time around.
I am okay with the price I paid, albeit a little higher than the two other plumbers. Jo at least was able to solve the problem. I recommend Friendly Plumber in a heartbeat.

Oh dear, so the maitre d' kisses you several million times, so what? That's the least he could do after doing worse (you can imagine what goes here) and that came BEFORE the kissing.

Oh dear, so the maitre d' kisses you several million times, so what? That's the least he could do after doing worse (you can imagine what goes here) and that came BEFORE the kissing.
We had arranged for a large dinner party, pre-planned, pre-arranged menu and everything else.
What we got was a completely altered menu, not what we agreed to, and what could we do? We had a party of 8, so should we get all ugly and ruin our evening right then and there?
$2500 for 2 hours + tip, down the drain!
Watch out for this place. They're not all they pretend to be.

Oh yes, if only all French restaurants in the city would follow your lead, I'd be a lot happier, and fatter, ha ha!

Oh how I miss the huge, fresh, French truffles you offer to slice over everything on my degustation meal. Oh how I miss the perfect pairing of fresh foie gras and sauternes. Oh how I miss the cheeses.
Oh, oh, oh!

I used to love this place. Last time I went with a party of 11 was to celebrate my birthday.
Sadly, the seating was too cramped because of their space. What's worse is that the restaurant clearly smelled of FISH! Yep, I guess fish was going bad and they decided to cook it anyway.
You know Chef, no amount of kissing on both cheeks excuses something like that. Oui?

Built on reputation and no solid follow-up to keep it. Sadly, this restaurant has been so spoiled for the Loehmann's shoppers that they've forgotten what made them great.

The food has since turned to mediocre, and the passerbys gawking at you has become a huge nuisance. Oh not that I have anything against sidewalk cafes or eateries, they're tons of fun, but this one just isn't cutting it for me.

Thankfully this time around, I got a much better server. I hope that other one got fired!
But the food speaks for itself and exceeds your wildest expectations. You have to try this one out!

I love this place! The service is efficient and cheap! The people are friendly, kind of walking to the Cheers Bar, ya know?

I had my nails done here after having a barrage of chemo treatments and I have to tell you, it was apparent how good and professional their employees are. Kudos!

I surprised my 3 yr old nephew with their smores kit after he just found out that he isn't allergic to chocolate. This is for easter, btw, where we followed it with a great big easter egg hunt, Recchiuti style, which left him completely happy and buzzing with sugar!
His mother sent me a photo of him from her phone and he had this fuzzy-eyed, happy look on his face.
Ahh, the joys of youth! Enjoy it while it lasts, eh?

Ooh, I'm very disappointed with this place. I spent over $300 on buying little bottles of junk here and when I called the San Francisco salon (because this is near where I live in the first place) to exchange a bottle of make-up in which they gave me the wrong color, BTW, I was told that without a receipt, they can't make an exchange.
Excuse me! The bottle is clearly labeled La Belle, did I make this stuff myself? Could I have possibly purchased it at any place other than their salon? (The answer is a resounding "heck no!") Why then should I get penalized for their mistake? I offered to bring my original credit card statement clearly showing the date of when I purchased it and that wasn't good enough either. Oh you don't want the same thing happening to you, do you? Getting treated that way, I mean.
