Example: I really liked my first experience at Windsor. My sister and her boyfriend were in town last Friday and we wanted to get our weekend started early with some daytime drinks and a great lunch. \n\nOthers have pointed out the decor, so I won't beat a dead horse, but I will say that Windsor stands out from the modern-meets-rustic vibe that seems to characterize many of the newer additions to Phoenix (Parlor, St. Francis, etc.). While it has some similar design elements, it has some unique touches that make it a striking spot - I'm particular fond of the vivid green color used on the bar and the wall of cassette tapes (remember those?) leading up to the bathroom. \n\nWhile I'm glad it was happy hour when we arrived (around 1:30pm), I have to say that the Postino HH window (11-5) isn't a good fit for a place that has a full bar. Since Windsor has drinks, I would hope that they would introduce a more post-work-appropriate happy hour at some point soon. That said, again, I was very thrilled to be able to get $5 Bloody Marys and they were made absolutely perfectly. \n\nOur food was also very enjoyable, especially the mac and cheese. Gourmet mac and cheese has become about as exciting and unique as bruschetta but this mac and cheese was perfection with the perfect combination of savory cheeses and a savory crispy topping. I also thought the halibut banh mi was delicious (although I can't help but think of the Vietnamese joints where you can get a sandwich like this for ~$8 bucks) and the kale Caesar was crisp and had great texture. \n\nThe only real food disappointment was the deviled egg dip which had bacon mixed in, despite not indicating that on the menu. Sorry, but in this day and age, you really need to clearly label if your food items contain meat, especially if it's pork product. \n\nFinally, I thought the service was enthusiastic but spotty. There were some things we wanted but didn't get in a timely fashion, so some improvement could definitely be made there. All in all, though, I really liked my experience at Windsor and will definitely be back.

Example: Just moved to Phoenix, needed a physical for my insurance company for the new year - only required blood pressure, height, weight and cholesterol.  Dr. Walter Kmiecik not only required me to schedule a follow up visit in order to get the form completed (two office visits for one form) but he ordered every single blood test imaginable which cost me $400 in lab work not required by my insurance company.  Then, to top it off, in the follow up appointment he proceeded to act genuinely disappointed when he found that my health was excellent and he couldnt bilk me for more \""medical care\"" I didn't need.   This is a crooked, dishonest practice and I would not recommend anyone patronizing them, particularly Dr. Walter Kmiecik.

Example: Let me start by saying that I absolutely LOVED the food.  My dinner was spot on.\n\nSo why the 2 stars?\n\nQuite frankly, it was way over priced.  And I'm not talking about a few dollars too expensive.  For an average dinner, you'll be spending $25 to $30.  And while the food is tasty, the ambiance does not come close to warranting $30 per plate.

Example: I'm just going to go ahead and forego the supposedly hipster-ish-ness of the Mile End and its denizens (WOW!! THERE ARE HIPSTERS IN MONTR\u00c9AL!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!) and just cut to how spectacular this restaurant is.\n\nAfter making a reservation earlier in the day, I biked over in the freezing rain with my girlfriend for a nice little mid-december date night.  The server that took the reservation earlier in the afternoon was still there to seat us and get us started with the menu and some drinks.\n\nI had a nice little manhattan made by the classy barman and my girlfriend had a martini.  Both drinks were at least as good as any that could be found by my favorite watering hole down the street.  Afterwards, the server explained the menu and specials to us; it's nice to have a server that knows what they will be serving.\n\nWe had an opener of deliciously-salted smoked mackerel with endives, bacon, and a poached egg (I hate eggs) which was very dificult to not inhale.  Well-balanced flavours and easily enough to start off two non-obese people.\n\nAfter mulling over the mains (the beef offal with mashed potatoes was given very serious consideration) I went ahead and go the pork chop served with braised radicchio, and mustard fruits (who even serves these!?!?).  It was perfectly succulent and went along swimmingly with its plate mate.  My date ordered the celery-root tortellini with parsley, walnuts, and sheep's cheese.  She seemed pleased enough and the morsels that I managed to steal away from her were mouthgasmic.\n\nFinally, we decided to close off the evening with a baked alaska which was (not surprisingly) quickly consumed and savoured joyfully with our wine (I forget which, but it was red and French and hit the spot).\n\nAs for the d\u00e9cor and ambiance; it was perfect.  There were some curtains up at the door to a) keep out the draft (I mentioned freezing rain, right?) and b) provide entertainment to the diners as they watch the guests fumble about to find the entrance.\n\nI certainly hope to be back soon.  I hear that the brunch is phenomenal.

Example: I went here by accident, because I was so hungry I couldn't think straight. But it turned out well!\n\nI had come out of a long meeting and was just in a low-blood-sugar muddle. I planned to go to Blue Bear but there were lots of people coming in and out, and I somehow wandered into Circle ... I'm really not good when I need food! \n\nAnyway, there I was, and I immediately felt better. I like the feel of the place, nice and chilled and cool and calm. The waitress was lovely when I couldn't decide what I wanted. And the tea came in a pot and was delicious. \n\nMy scone was disappointing, though - more of a roll, light and bready. I like a scone with a bit of heft to it! Especially when I'm hungry...\n\nBut yes - nice place, free wifi, good tea, patient staff!

Example: If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I recently went out of town for vacation and decided to take my 4 month old pit bull, Dexter, to Gilbert Dogs 24/7. I've taken him several times before and I was told that he was having fun; playing around with all the big dogs. When I was told that he was being put with the bigger dogs, I was slightly worried because of Dexter's size compared to all the others.\n\nWhen I went to drop him off, my boyfriend was with me. He asked why Dexter couldn't be put in with the smaller dogs since he was much smaller than all the other big dogs (dobermans, other pits, and labs) and they explained that he was \""too big\"" for the smaller dogs. As we watched them put him into the room, all the dogs surrounded the door, and my dog, waiting for his arrival. Everything looked fine until one dog randomly grabbed onto Dexter's ear and wouldn't let go. One staff member grabbed Dexter and took him outside. We asked to see him immediately to check if he was okay. They didn't bring him out immediately, we had to wait 10-15 minutes for the staff member to come out with him and when we asked another staff member who was grooming another dog; she just ignored us. \n\nAfter they made us nervously wait, one staff member brought him out with a bloody ear. What was she doing the past 15 minutes? She assured us that the dog who bit Dexter was the another staff member's dog, and wouldn't be returning back into the room; so we left.\n\nComing back from my vacation I assumed that I would come back to a well rested puppy, but that wasn't the case. I got him back nice and wet because he was just bathed.. Is it that hard for them to quickly towel dry a dog?? When I got home, Dexter immediately went to sleep. As I was petting him, I found a few scabs on his head, as I rubbed down his whole body, I realized that his whole body was covered in scabs. It was as if he was in some crazy dogfight. Are you serious?? Is this how you assure me that none of the other dogs will hurt him? How much longer would it have taken them to realize that he cannot deal with being around the bigger dogs and his body is the proof. \n\nSo if you want a dog service that will have your sweet, adorable dog chewed on like a toy and have scabs all over their bodies, this is just the place! I just know that I will NEVER be back here again.
