Text - Okay, This would have five stars but for one thing:  We were with a group of people and two of us had groupons.  Now I know the groupon reads ONE PER TABLE....I also knew we were going to spend considerably MORE than both groupons so I asked ahead of time if we could sit together.  The person working the front said she'd go check.  The owner came out and was really very rude and said, \""No, you must be seated separately and you cannot combine anything.  Totally separate!\"" and she was frowning.  Now, this was the first impression of several people in our party and that didn't sit well.\n\nHowever, I fully intended to tell them we'd spend WELL over the limits but I told her that we were fine with being separated and all sat down.  The wait staff was very nice and our waiter especially was just a joy.  The food took quite a while but was well worth it.  It was kind of a bummer to not be all together but once the food arrived everyone was silent anyway!\n\nWe started with Calypso Chips and black bean dip which are divine.  I had the Pollo Cubano which was okay.  The highlight of the plate for me was the black beans and rice.  Those were terrific!\n\nMy mother in law had the ham croquettes which were so-so and the Papas Rellena which are heaven!  My daughter had Sopa de Pollo which was also just so-so.  \n\nThe deserts were to DIE FOR!  My daughter had Marquesa de Chocolate.  Basically  chocolate ganauche with Grand Manier flavoring with the most amazing whipped cream over it.  Totally rich!  Mother in Law had the bread pudding which had her almost in tears she enjoyed it so much.  If I were to go again, I'd just get a big plate of beans and rice and a Papa Rellena and dessert.  \n\nI will go again for the food even if the owner was rude. It's that good!  Again, we spent at least 1.5 times the amount of the groupon, each. We'll be back again, but really if you decide to have a groupon to get people in, try to be mellow and accomodate them too!  Or at least make sure your food is so good they want to deal with attitude!

Text - I had a business trip in Waterloo and my options were to fly into Toronto or this gem of an airport. I'm glad I flew into Waterloo instead.\n\nAmerican Airlines now runs a twice-daily flight from Chicago ORD to YKF. It's on a small regional jet, but when you land you quickly realize that the regional jet is the largest plane that serves the airport. The Bearskin planes are propeller planes that serve other areas of Canada.\n\nArriving is a breeze - you only need to compete with around 20 or so people to get through immigration. The officers were all very relaxed as they only need to work when this Chicago flight comes through. There's a few taxis waiting outside to whisk you off to your destination.\n\nDeparting is also a breeze - no need to take off shoes or belts when going through their security check. Again, you're only competing with 20 or so people to get through security. I had a 6AM 'international' flight to Chicago and only had to arrive at 5am. You could never arrive that late if you were to fly out of a large airport.\n\nThere's also free WiFi in the airport!

Text - Had business brunch today. The Tortilla Espanola was just like Mom used to make. My guest had the sliced duck sandwich. Looked great (I'm sure it tasted just as good. Didn't think it was good idea to ask for a bite. Service was great. Must come back for dinner and try some great Spanish dishes. Kudos to Chef Gio and his staff. Much success going forward.

Text - The waiter I had couldn't even crack smile or even come by my table. If he did come by it was once every 15 minutes. Food is always good here service sucks all the time. Also u may want to dust your big picture in your dinning area dust bunnies all over it.

Text - Two and a half stars for this noodle and dim sum place located in Paris. (Read below for more info why it he review is 2 stars and not 3)\n High traffic area and average food.\n\nNoodles: just as anything you could find in a typical chinese restaurant off Spring Mt road. \nBroth: flavorful but overly salty.\n\nOne more thing, staff told me I could earn Total Rewards points by going to TR counter. That didn't work out.

Text - Ever since my husband took me to my first Indian buffet in town, I've been trying other places like it.  Today we went to the Taj, and I was pretty excited.  It was very cozy, and the staff was so friendly.  But as far as food selection and food quality, definitely not worth it.  The one fish dish they had was so dry, I could barely chew it (and this was only an hour after they'd opened today, so you'd think it would've been fresh!).  I would not recommend this Indian buffet, and would instead direct others to either A. Swagat on Old Sauk Rd or B. Maharini on West Washington Ave.  I don't think I'll be back to the Taj though.

Considreing the above, classify the following: ****Disclaimer****\nThere is no food review here, our experience was bad enough that we didn't even eat here.  It seems pretty consistent with other reviews that this place is pretty bi-polar with their service.  It's a shame because their food seems to come highly rated.\n***End Disclaimer***\n\nSo after wanting to come here for a while now some friends and I were finally able to get in.\n\nThe first thing we noticed upon walking in was the strong bleach smell in the little are by the host/ess stand. We stood there for a couple minutes and the smell bothered me to the point of actually sneezing. We were finally seated after someone seemed to notice we were standing there. \n\nUpon being seated we were given your standard issue sushi order sheet and some menus. Here's where the proverbial crap hit the fan. Their menu is comprised of item names only, with no descriptions at all. This wouldn't normally be a problem if half the items weren't given Japanese names. We waited 10 minutes before we were served drinks by not our server and she walked away. 5 minutes later she came back and asked if we were ready and we said we were having trouble deciphering the menu and she said ok and walked off instead of seeing if we needed help with something. When she came back 5 minutes later I asked if they had something that described the menu items and she said yes and went and got a bowl of sand with little clips holding business cards that held sushi descriptions.  And then left again.  They were for the 5 most expensive sushi rolls they had. \n\nFinally she came back after a few minutes and we started to ask her about what stuff was. She answered some questions and then my vegetarian friend asked her about vegetarian choices other than the 3 things listed. She immediately recommended 2 items with bacon in the name to our friend's horror and then couldn't answer what sauces had fish in them as their menu had noted that some do.  She then left us yet again to make a choice.  We decided for our friend's own peace of mind, and my already annoyed attitude that we should probably just go eat at Eastwind where we knew they had awesome Sushi, Service, and Prices.\n\nNow some might argue that it's our own fault that we aren't super sushi veterans and should already know what we are ordering, but it's my philosophy that you don't have to be an expert on something to enjoy it.  Especially not food.  \n\nI hate to give this place this low of a rating without even trying the food, but to waste a half hour or so before even really getting to the point where we could have had food being prepared is ridiculous.  On top of the fact that the waitress didn't seem too keen to help us figure out what the heck we were even ordering.
