Case: So I am going thru first-time-remodeling-a-home-anxiety (hellloo... the 80s called and wants all their light fixtures back!)...\n\nCall me naive.. but where do you go to find light fixtures after Lowe's, Home Depot and Lamps Plus?!  By chance I drove by this store after a Lowe's light fixture purchase that I wasn't completely in love with...\n\nTHIS is my holy grail lighting store (does it count if I've only been to 4 places?!  But I don't want to order online... I'm a touchy feely home decorator apparently...)  Many styles without being dated & cheesey and prices of all ranges (whereas Lamps Plus just made my eyes bug).  The sales assoc was so kind and friendly, willing to climb up and down ladders to look at price tags and gave me info sheets on the models I was interested in.  \n\nAs each outdated fixture goes, I'll be enthusiastically stopping by here...

Case: Muramoto is what you come up with when going to a Sushi restaurant is a fashion statement instead of for good cuisine. While it certainly is a fashionable and a swank environment that initially looks like it is a well kept secret, the service and aura that is exuded by those employed there ruins that feeling. The wait staff are pompous and treat their patrons like empty Tupperware containers - Hardly worth the space that they are taking up. My questions about the menu were met with the condescension as if I should be ashamed for not knowing how the Duck and Avocado sushi roll was served. When I queried if there was a Chef special - as most sushi restaurants have, even this particular one has during lunch - I was answered with a curt, and rather rude response of 'We don't do anything like that.' Now perhaps I've become accustomed to the Americanized sushi restaurant where wait staff are friendly and are adapted to fielding questions about their menu, here if you are curious it is better to keep your mouth shut and avoid the weariness that your curiosity is met with.\n\nFor the price of the meal, I expected a lot more in the areas of flavor and texture from the rolls that we had ordered. Notably was the fact that the rice was overcooked, the result of which lead to a roll that did not stay together and the work normally done by mastication was able to be accomplished by your tongue. If the rolls were prepared with high quality ingredients it was difficult to tell due to poor preparation of the rice. To Muramoto's credit, highlight of the meal was the Fried Calamari which was excellent. Lightly battered and fried until the rubbery texture of calamari was erased; then lightly coated with a sweet-Chili sauce over a bed of onions and slaw style cabbage. The flavor was wonderful and left a pleasant feeling of sweetness and heat as an aftertaste. Judging from this, if you do decide to dine at this restaurant I would suggest ordering more from their cooked entree's as their sushi selection and preparation is akin to the take out boxes you would find at Whole Foods (which after this I would prefer).\n\nSo a less than marginal meal for 2 cost an outlandish $73 with tip (3 rolls, appetizer, and 2 glasses of sake) left me walking out of the restaurant feeling glad to get away from the condescension and terrible aura of the wait staff. I was very disappointed as I had heard that this was one of the better sushi restaurants in Madison, a fact I would entirely disagree with and would put Muramoto below Takara and Edo. The only reason someone would choose this restaurant over the latter two would be for fashion reasons. I was thoroughly disappointed with what I was expecting to be a high quality - high class establishment.\n\n-Manifold Man

Case: The management and service Greatly misrepresented a la carte items and charged $30 for a 1/2 carafe for a Mondavi merlot when she said it would be $15.00.  \nTold there was a SMALL  up charge from the included house salad to the caprese salad.  \nSmall was $9.00 each. \nMgt refused to make it right. \nGo if you are a gambler. You can see the casino from this point. \nBut don't bet on winning here.
