Things must have dramatically changed in the past couple months...because I had a VERY positive experience when I went in Nov 2006. I went in hopes of trying on one particular designer's bridal gown and expecting the less than desirable service, but I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I had a mid-week appointment, so the store was not busy - which seems to make a difference in all bridal stores. The woman who helped me was friendly, approachable, and more than helpful. She encouraged me to I try on many dresses, and even brought me a couple of dresses similar in style to the others I liked. They even let me look through the racks (a rarity in high-end bridal shops). Even though I decided to have a vintage family gown altered for my wedding, I would highly recommend AniA's to any of my friends. If you have ample room in your budget - AniA's has a phenomenal collection.
Pros: Beautiful collection, High-end & hard to find designers
Cons: Must park on street or in parking garage
