  • **Terrible Experience – Do Not Recommend!** I had a really disappointing experience at Musa Restaurant. First off, the *rise* (rice) was incredibly oily, which made it hard to even eat. The *boolani* tasted like it was from the day before—dry and stale. To top it off, they completely *missed my kebab* order, which was super frustrating. I tried calling multiple times to resolve the issue, but *nobody picked up the phone*. Honestly, it feels like they’re just scamming people. Definitely will not be coming back! (0.0%)
  • 071125 Summerlicious dinner: upon entering on a hot day, no AC simply a small ceiling fan for the entire place in very slow run hardly feel the coolness at all... greeted by a white Caucasian wait staff who seemed a tad tactless. For the meals, opted for: APP ~ PEI mussels the mussels were pretty small; sauce was mediocre and an absolute skimping bread which I find stale my opinion... MAIN ~ lamb shank flavourful yet not the best- meat still a tad tough... DESSERT ~ lava cake just scooped a spoonful more so the ice cream... I have had better ones. DRINKS ~ Black Orchid at $12.95 hmm could've gone to a proper restaurant downtown... drank more glasses of water with ice ~ had to ask twice for it... restaurant was poorly utterly hot... (0.0%)
  • 1 star for poorly representing Cantonese and Szechuan culture. It's not good. I've eaten these dishes all my life this place is expensive, and the dishes have no flavor. Claypot rice is supposed to be super fragrant, this claypot rice is somehow both dry and they went light on the flavor they made it "north american". Hainese chicken rice massive disappointment. Rice not made properly, they didn't put the time in. It's supposed to be glistening with oil, every bite is supposed to literally glide, this rice is tough and fried (what the???), the chicken is supposed to be super super soft but theirs is tough. It's a dish that if properly done, is done in three different steps and each step takes half a day to do. They slacked and took a lot of shortcuts, not worth trying. (0.0%)

  • "Loved the atmosphere of this beautiful restaurant, the staff went above and beyond during our time there and I would highly recommend this vegan place to all of our friends! Thank you for the great time! PS - matcha colada was DREAMY!" (0.0%)
  • **Review: Souvlaki Bar at Montreal's Grand Central - Chicken Souvlaki Dinner** I recently picked up a Chicken Souvlaki Dinner from Souvlaki Bar at Montreal's Grand Central, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The food was ready right on time, which was great as I was on a tight schedule. The chicken was perfectly grilled—tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. It had that classic charred flavor that you crave from a good souvlaki. The accompanying sides were equally satisfying. The rice was fluffy and well-seasoned, complementing the chicken beautifully, while the Greek salad was fresh and crisp, with just the right amount of dressing. The tzatziki sauce was a standout, creamy with a nice garlicky kick that tied everything together. The portion size was generous, leaving me completely satisfied without feeling overstuffed. It’s clear that Souvlaki Bar takes pride in their ingredients and preparation, making it a solid go-to for a quick, flavorful meal. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or looking for a tasty dinner option, the Chicken Souvlaki Dinner is definitely worth trying. (0.0%)
  • 10/10 customer service, from before dinner, during dinner, to post-dinner. I accidentally left my cardigan at the restaurant, called and the staff found my garment, and they even went out of their way to put it in a paper bag and put my name on it, so it didn’t get jumbled up with the rest of lost and found. It just made me really happy. What a tiny detail, yet made a big impact!Little things like that, alongside wishing my fiancee happy birthday right away, as well as stellar service from our server and delicious food, went such a long way. Thank you again for the free dessert too!All in all, I really appreciated everything cactus club staff did to make our evening feel special. Could not recommend this location more! (0.0%)

  • After a lighthearted evening watching & Juliet, we made our way to Scaddabush for some Italian comfort food. All of EnD Adventures was together — our daughters, friends, and the two of us — which already set the tone for a memorable night out. Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated quickly. Our server, Noah, stopped by early with menus and the nightly specials. It was clear the entire team was hustling; drinks took longer than usual, but Noah was doing everything he could to keep the pace. The space itself was a delight. Warm lighting, thoughtful décor, and those whimsical canned vegetables added a quirky charm that made the room feel inviting and full of character. There was always something interesting to notice. The fresh mozzarella — their signature — absolutely lived up to its reputation. Creamy, rich, and beautifully prepared, it was easily the standout of the table. Our meals arrived hot and exactly as ordered, and everyone enjoyed their choices. The only real downside was the long gaps between check-ins for drink refills or questions. With several large tables nearby and the restaurant buzzing, it was understandable, though still noticeable. All in all, it was a lovely evening, and we’d happily return — perhaps to a quieter location next time, just to see how the service feels when the pace isn’t quite so intense.

  • - Always great food at Milestones but always very expensive so come prepared. - We had their pitcher of Sangria which was delicious! - Ask for their aioli to go with the steak or the creamy horseradish sauce. - They no longer carry many of the great items they once had though..the double baked potato, the peanut butter ice cream and brownie, the caprese balsamic flatbread..all the stuff I loved! - Waitress was good..a bit dippy at times but was ok. - Well done steak was done perfectly. Nice relaxing dinner out. Went at 9pm on a Sunday night. (0.0%)
  • -the reception on the 1st floor was extremely rude, she talked to patrons as if they were bothering her -the waiters are really rude as well -we can only get a booking at 2:00 p.m. and we have to wait until 2:10 p.m. to get seated -we were then told that all orders must be entered by 2:30 p.m. as the kitchen will close -we rushed to put in or order, but then have to wait for 10 minutes to have the first dish arrive -since then, the waiters kept coming back and asked if we need anything else, not as a 2-minute check, but to rush us -then all of a sudden, sharp at 2:30 p.m. when we were still eating, they came with the bill -there were still two dishes that haven't arrived -they then asked us rudely, "You can wait for them but you have to pay now." -we were so surprised by them rushing us like that and that they asked us to pay for the food that hasn't arrived yet -so we cancelled the remaining two dishes and asked them to re-issue the bill. they don't look pleased -the food quality was ok, nothing spectacular for that price -but because of the service, we will never come again (0.0%)

  • "Special Occasion" so not any ol' takeout would do. Ordered a few days in advance, selecting from the Marketplace menu: Beet salad x2, mushroom soup for two, the cheese 'straws', and of course a Duck Confit set. We also grabbed the Caesar Dressing for another time - so good that stuff. Five total items, zero disappointments. Easy to order, perfect pick-up, simple to finish-at-home. Worth. Every. Cent. (0.0%)
  • "Tutti a tavola a mangare" Personally, I have to say that Il Ponte defines the word "FAMILY" Firstly, we had a family event with a total of 40 people. Giancarlo ( the owner) and his staff welcomed my family and friends to the restaurant, making them feel comfortable. The accomodations, services and the great choice food on hid menu, made everyone at the party have the best time. After the party ended my guests asked "whens the next party at Il Ponte?" Thanks again Giancarlo and the staff for a wonderful experience. (0.0%)
  • ***FOOD: Utterly delish dim sum for downtown. Lots of variety and every dim sum we ordered was fresh and top knotch. SALT PEPPER FISH - Must Order/Try, so unbelievably good it’ll have you craving long after; HAR GAW & STICKY RICE & SIU MAI & BBQ BUN - everything is good piping hot and so delicious. Totally satisfied our cravings. CONGEE- very very good; MANGO PUDDING - wow don’t see this oldie and goodie on menus anymore. It was just so creamy good. So much mango. ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ expensive because it’s downtown but if you are downtown and don’t want to travel to Richmond or outside of downtown then this is as good as it gets. ***DÉCOR: upstairs, looks like it was carved out of lobby of the office building with skylights which made it pretty warm in there and the AC had hard time keeping the place cool. Contemporary decor. Parking may be an issue but it seems to me it’s a place for tourists/visitors in hotel ***SERVICE: servers were ok, attentive, did try to seek us their special Kirin Mooncake. Dishes seemed to take a while so just assumed they were making them fresh. ***RECOMMEND: Yes highly RECOMMEND. Definitely would come back to eat here if have a craving for dim sum while visiting downtown. (0.0%)

"The app of Chipotle does provide the survey link, however, it won't allow me to pick this store. I have no choice but just come to hear to address the issue happened on the Wednesday lunch time. A 12:20pm pickup didn't get the food until 12:50pm. I think the manager would need to review why this happened. it was a long pile up of people in front of the pickup counter. At the end, I got my food, only 8 minutes left before I finish it(got to move to the office, right?). I hope I can give this store another review, but first of all. Don't be afraid show up on your own app, show some responsibility."

"Amazing experience, was looking to try a new steakhouse besides the regular Harbour60 or Blue Blood experience but let me tell you, this place does not disappoint. My favourite experience by far regardless of being seated at the bar, Thanks to Milan ofcourse. Firstly, the food was impeccable, everything was so detail oriented and the tastes matched that energy. Best steak I’ve ever had in my life was eaten here. A dry aged Kobe Wagyu strip loin, one word - butter. Besides the unreal food this experience would not have been it without the energy and service of Milan. She took the initiative to explain and answer any questions we had, all of her recommendations hit the spot, and ontop of that, took the time to give us a tour of the dry aging room. Her energy was 10/10 throughout the experience and it wouldn’t have been as comfortable as she made it feel without her. 100% recommend for anyone in search of an upscale fine dining experience. Will definitely return."

"Great location and although we went when dark, the view was lovely over the harbour. Very busy, we’d booked ahead and were seated promptly. Quite noisy and dark (we’d to use the table candle to see the menu!). Excellent food and great service."

"Absolutely my favorite spa so far in Vietnam. I asked for a facial, 60min massage, and the Indian head massage. They helped me choose the Vietnamese massage option for my preferences and it was wonderful. Like a combination of Swedish massage and kneading techniques. Super thorough but gentle extractions during the facial. And the Indian hair massage was just the right pressure and combination of techniques - I’ve gotten “head spas” before that were just scratching and scrubbing and it didn’t feel good. And she detangled my hair as she went as well. I wish I could come here every week. They also had the same therapist for all three treatments so I never had to switch rooms and she kind of blended the three services together which also meant I didn’t have to lay in the same position for too long. Also delicious infused water to start, delicious tea and yogurt fruit pudding at the end. And I was able to shower before and was offered a shower after. Plus - a written questionnaire before and written feedback requested after. I truly have no notes - it’s perfect here. I believe my therapists name was Trâm."
