Noise review insights for United States

"Argentinian night" Topic The event was promoted to start at 9... I arrived at 9 only to find the most american techno remixes of pop USA 70s-80s-90s music for 2 HOURs until 11 pm. When I arrived i was told that actually the Argentinian music will start at 10:30, which it didnt) After staying for 1.5 hr long listening to the exact same beat in every song (remixes with the exact same beat in every, every single song) and seeing the argentinian vibe wouldn't start i went on a walk with my wife, I came back 11 pm when the first 2 argentinian song started (la mosca y soda)... guess what? After those 2 song, they played remixes with cumbia remix beat of song of all kind, some old ones that were worth it a bit like Makano - te amo (makano es de panama) and other artists/songs none argentinians including reggeatoneros I left 11:40 pm having listened 2-3 argentinian songs, the environment was those $9 flags hanging by the ceiling and just FYI.... +40/50 recommended. Because the 8-10 people that arrived close to 12 am could've being my grandma's (i am 36 with my wife been 28.... bealive me when I say we were the youngest one for a lot) So.... for food no idea, but for the "Argentinian event" I would add the description: +40/50 Arrive at least 2-2.5 hr later than the starting time of the event. Music: expect the Spotify Playlist that your uncle made from the Boliches in the 90s.... just remove all the cumbias argentinas-quarteto and leave the clasic song like Makano one that are around Latin America and we used to listen back then Argentinian vibe: 2 out of 100 (just for the susana and holmedo faces on the bathrooms door) Un bajon 👎

(DO NOT GO HERE) WE WERE ALL LEGAL AGE IGNORE THESE LYING REPLIES!!! I came here for my 21st birthday and they denied my entry because I “looked too young”, and then refused to scan my ID because I didn’t have a passport on me…I walked 30mins from the nightclub because it wasn’t for me so I could go to a more relaxing location just to get thrown to the curb because I don’t “carry my passport” on me absolutely ridiculous NEVER recommend ANYONE to go to a place like this that cares so little about their costumers especially when it comes to special occasions definitely the last place that you’d want to go to. If anything just save your money and sing music in the car because this place has absolutely NOTHING to offer other than disrespect and the following reviews further my point, DO NOT GO HERE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

**** Food: As other diners had reported the uneven volume of salt in many dishes baffled. Add to that round of reports the amount of spirit in at least one drink. Hot toddy was fabulous so long as its temperature stayed hot; then its vermouth strangled the fungi- and filiform. Saltless beef tallow fries let the diner wish for tableside salt and pepper. But escargot paired with apple cider or water was best even though still quite mild. But then again, wonderfully tender yet terribly, terribly, terribly salty beef bourguignon went way past hearty. Was its super salty taste due to too much reduction? Its sauce wasn't thick so I question that afterthought. Moving on, desserts were fine and included a tall French toast and ice creams. ***** Service: Best in ages and also fun. Jared Leto may have greeted us when we entered. Just kidding! The fellow looked like him in a dim entryway which was more _The Matrix_ than _Tron: Ares._ **** Atmosphere: Dim as previously noted and quite comfortable even though loud music carried heavy bass. (Randolph St, Restaurant Row's Muzak/Pandora/Spotify volume levels just didn't suit this much-classier site.) There were diners aplenty at this location in the 130-year-old Chicago landmark Monadnock Building and across from/near the Union League Club. Now if this eatery could make its cuisine more like G Cuisance's former Kiki's Bistro on N Franklin St....

My stay at the Stanyon Park Hotel was necessary as a family member was an inpatient at at UCSF which is within walking distance. I met my House keeper on my day early check out by random occurrences in the hallway. She was incredibly polite and thoughtful; in asking me specific questions about care needs for my room. I explained I was checking out early so her thoughts were appreciated but not necessary. The rest of the staff seemed to only be there for the purpose of working; not for the needs of customers. All or most of the rooms at the Stanyon Park Hotel face inward upon each other at some point; like a horse shoe. This causes many issues. From sounds that carry ( voices, music, children screaming, personal sounds, phone calls etc.) , the inability to open the window shades for lack of privacy, ( you see directly into one another’s room. So there is a huge feeling of isolation at the very least to confinement. There are no pictures on the walls and this picture is mis leading; it really shows the shear inner Roman Shade partially lifted, as they do not lift all the way, with the view of the building across the way. Nothing more. The windows themselves , though part of the vintage “ charm” were an issue for me personally. As the are sash window that physically moves up and down; they are easy to become unbalanced from side to side as the move up and down. Causing them not to sit all the way to the bottom of the sill; leaving a open air gap. Well; the week I was there; it dropped to 37 degrees! The small baseboard radiator style unit heater takes a significant amount of time to heat the room! ( even at full on!) Speaking of the windows…my bathroom window was opaque with no shade whatsoever! This meant that once darkness fell; no light could be used in the bathroom for any bathroom routine! As everything would be silhouetted in that opaque window for all to see! Same for the morning shower routine! I looked out the ally and could see the other bathroom windows had Roman Shades. Seeing that this was the case; on two separate occasions, I asked the front desk to have this investigated. The morning girl looked at me like I was making a peculiar request to have a window covering in the restroom for privacy! Then she explained that it would most likely not be done for some reason about screws being placed in the walls. I had to explain to her; that shades are in fact, installed in the window itself, and not the wall. So she finally “ got it” and agreed to have the maintenance person drop by the room. In not having heard a report, by the next morning, I asked again. Same thing. This front desk person did not understand what opaque was. By this time; I was getting pretty fed up with these two. So I said; how would you like to shower or go potty with a back light behind you to where everyone can see you? And I added; the rest of the rooms have them and right now I am showering in the dark! She only agreed to pass along my message to maintenance just to appease my request. Suffice it to say. Absolutely nothing was done about my request. Nothing was said to me about this awful and what I would call unacceptable inconvenience. When I was checking out, a full day early, two men were behind the counter. An older woman was trying diligently to find a room for 1 night at the last minute. Do you think they gave her my room? ( with the hotel booked up.) Nope…..even with an excuse of their computers showing blocks of rooms being taken blah blah….they, as human beings, knew I was checking out early, and it was available. Bad Form Dudes! I can Honestly say…Run, Run Far away from this Hotel.

Clean if smallish rooms. Front desk Millennials clueless. A bit noisy at night. Great location though! One block from Union Square. Not a bad base for exploring The City. Good online rates. Walking around town is very nice but steep! Built in 1909. Nicely renovated. Thanks

"Are we at Per Se or are we at Applebee's?" This was the question on our minds as we ate dinner. Buyer beware - do not come to Per Se if you are expecting a refined and elegant dining experience. Per Se has no expected standards of attire and behavior being enforced confirmed by its own maitre d Alex Pimentel. This failure of the purported three Michelin star institution greatly reduced the quality and enjoyment of our experience and was far below what we have experienced in the past at Per Se or other three Michelin star restaurants. One table in our direct view had two very old men with two teenaged-looking girls. One girl was wearing sweatpants, a crop top, and flip flops. The other girl was wearing a sweatshirt and sneakers. One of the old men had a little black puppy with him and Per Se allowed the puppy to run around the floor of the dining room throughout the dinner. Another table next to us was obnoxiously loud throughout the evening, taking over the space and taking away from everyone else's enjoyment. It was clear from the circus around us that Per Se has no standards for guest attire or behavior and does not care about guest experience at all. When I wrote to the restaurant after our dinner to share our feedback, the maitre d Alex Pimentel asked me to call him to talk. After playing phone tag a couple times, we were finally able to connect. Alex began the phone conversation by flippantly stating "I understand you had a problem with some guests who weren't dressed as nicely as you would have liked?" Wow. This is the guy they put in charge of guest relations? What a great attitude for the job. Alex ended up wasting 20 minutes of my time by making up excuses for every single aspect of our underwhelming dining experience. According to Alex: 1) Per Se does not have a dress code for women, only for men. Women can apparently dine in a string bikini and flip flops. Alex says: "Per Se gets people from all walks of life and unfortunately we really only enforce a dress code for men." 2) Alex said the old men were hotel guests and that they were dining with their "nieces or daughters." I told him that we could not care less where the old men were lodging or the nature of their relationship with the teenaged girls, but that the young women should at the very least not be wearing sweatpants, crop tops, flip flops, sweatshirts, and sneakers. Alex once again reiterated that there is no dress code for women. 3) Alex could not come up with an excuse for the puppy running around. 4) Alex said that if we were disappointed at any point in the evening with our experience, the burden was on us to try to create the experience we want. Alex said we should have complained about the other guests (all seated within earshot) and we may have been reseated space permitting. So a three Michelin star restaurant is putting the onus on its guests to create a fine dining experience. Why would it be on guests to make sure Per Se enforces basic standards of attire and behavior of other guests? When Per Se allows a circus in its dining room, Per Se is not going after a three Michelin star experience. When the maitre d tells guests that it is actually their burden and responsibility to create a pleasant and enjoyable experience, there is something terribly wrong with the training and culture at Per Se. 5) Food: lobster was extremely chewy like bubblegum. The chicken was bland and a bit rubbery. Loved the crispy skin on the bass. Lamb was just lamb, but on the tougher side. The wagyu was unremarkable. Black truffle pasta was delicious with a generous shaving of truffles. 6) Service: star is for Maris who was fantastic and we appreciated her excellent service and professionalism. Maris seemed to be the only one we encountered at Per Se who was aware that the restaurant is supposed to provide a three Michelin star experience. The wine pairing was $350 and the sommelier was perfunctory and inattentive. Alex concluded our phone conversation with an underwhelming, "well in the future please reach out to me to coordinate your next visit to Per Se." He didn't even offer a genuine apology without excuses or any gesture of good will from the restaurant. Will we be coming back to Per Se after this experience and Alex's response to our feedback? As Randy Jackson once eloquently stated, "Yeah that's gonna be a no from me, dawg."

It’s a cute location but the vibe wasn’t my favorite if you’re seeking cozy chill cowork spots (lots of loud bros yelling on calls, smoking Huka etc 🤪) … also omg $58 for two teas absolutely wild. Vice city in coconut grove is such a better bang for your buck.

We went in a group of friends. The meal was pretty good but the cocktails are very expensive because lots of extra for the special rums they encourage you to put in and the ambient music so loud that it was impossible to talk at the table. In addition, we get rid of the plates before we even finish eating (perhaps because we asked to reduce the sound of the music).
