Wondrous Weekend.
Wednesday, December 20, 2006
Our experience at the Ambassador was wonderful. Dan Smith is one of the best chefs in the Midwest, Envoy is a dream expericence.The food was as good as it gets in the Midwest and the service was above and beyond - for instance we had a bulge in our tire after I ran into a curb. The parking lot security guard not only noticed it, but he set me at a neighborhood tire shop that got me in and out in 15 minutes with a brand new tire for a price that would have cost considerably more at Wal-Mart! The desk help was sensational at recommending everything from tacquerias to jewelers and the neighborhood was a most pleasant place for our entire family. If there were any dealers and prostitutes around the area, they must be disguised as wealthy students and professors - for that is about all we saw in our four days and nights here.
Pros: fabulous restaurant, convenient shuttle bus, good help
Cons: a university neighborhood is not for everyone
