Case: A friend brought me here since I hadn't gotten to try it yet, so it was a you have to go check it out. \n\nIt's located in the same plaza as Raku, Monta, Curry Zen, Big Wong, and other favorites....man this plaza does have some awesome foods. You can spend the whole day here!!\n\nIt's a small intimate restaurant, I don't know if I can even call it that but I will for now. It's mostly bar seating with a few tables, but personally I think everyone would rather sit at the bar. You get to watch them make everything! Well most of everything at least. \n\nSo first off the edible menu....it's basically rice paper, which was awesome by itself but they gave us an apricot dipping sauce when we went. It changes from what the server told me, so it was currently apricot, which is one of my favorite fruits! Score! \n\nI got the three course dessert, prix fixe which isn't too badly priced honestly. Although I wouldn't spend $19 on dessert normally all the time, but once in a while and if you go to any upscale restaurant then it's really honestly not bad at all. \n\nStarted off with a raspberry sorbert which was presented perfectly on a plate, it was fun to watch them plate everything and the techniques they use. Typical Japanese sorbert, at least for me (again I grew up in Japan) it wasn't too sweet basically perfect amount of sweetness! \n\nThe Stella was almost too pretty to eat. I mean it was stunning to look at and I really just would have been satisfied staring at it, but alas you gotta eat it at some point!! The creme they use wasn't overpowering and didn't take away from the fruits. The tiramisu with the strawberries was delicious. I think it might be one of their popular dishes and well I could tell why just by the presentation of it and with the taste matching that of the presentation just shows you how the craftsmanship of this was top of the line!\n\nAnd finally a creme puff, it was alright, nothing too superb as the bread part was too hard for my tastes. I like it when it's soft, but the creme inside was pretty good as it wasn't super sweet. The gelatin cubes were cute!! Reminded me of the candy I always used to get called cube while I was growing up in Japan. \n\nThe servers are mostly Japanese that speak your typical FOB English, but it isn't too bad. And I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you wanted to try practicing your Japanese with them.

Case: My girlfriend and I love the zoo. We've gone to almost every zoo in California, and this zoo trumps them all! Besides the bad parking- we drove around for twenty minutes before deciding to park out in the boonies in the smoldering Arizona heat- everything else was spectacular! Even though it was a warm day, the zoo was nicely shaded and had misters to cool off everywhere! \n\nEvery staff member we encountered was so friendly! We noticed a little boy wandering by himself, and after a staff member asked where his parents were and he didn't answer, she followed him around to make sure nothing bad happened to him. She was so nice and seemed genuinely concerned- not intruding at all! We also went to feed the giraffes for a little extra charge, and the attendant there was so friendly and knowledgeable! We fed giraffes in Santa Barbara once before, and everything seemed so rushed, but not here! The friendly staff member let us take our time, snapped some photos of the two of us, and told us some very interesting facts! We went to the Sting Ray Encounter for another little charge, and spent a good hour there alone! They told us how to handle them, we washed our hands and were ready! Almost. It was scary at first, but we got the hang of it and couldn't stop trying to pet the sting rays! We might have been having more fun than the little kids surrounding us. \n\nFor a Saturday afternoon, there were a good amount of people, but it never felt crowded. The zoo was large and easily navigated. The friendly workers there made it such a wonderful experience, and we loved all of the hands on exhibits!

But here is where it all goes in the toilet. The receptionists are still very rude and make you feel like you are bothering them. Not a very good first imperssion. And I have been treated like this 5 times now, by the same two bitches. And don't get me started on all the drama I have to listen to.\nPlease ________, for the love of God move out of this hellhole !

Case: Horrible customer service. Servers were rude and got our order wrong. We will not be going back. The food was decent but not worth the hassle.

I came in on a Thursday night a couple weeks ago. Me and my boyfriend sat at the bar and that's where it begins... The bar was so dirty, I have no clue when they last wiped it or if they ever do. When the bartender came over and we asked for a menu, I looked it over and asked what the chef special was today. He didn't know. It was 6pm, so you'd think the whole staff would know by then. When he came back and said it was a chicken breast with asparagus and mash potatoes, I was not impressed, but asked how much and he had to go BACK to the kitchen to ask and it was $14, which was way over priced for what it was. Then when they poured our Guinness they didn't hold it right and the whole thing was foam when I got it. When we did order, the Mac and cheese was good but I got bangers and mash and it tasted like someone added sugar instead of salt and the vegetables weren't seasoned. On top of that, the twine was still on the sausages. As if I thought it couldn't be worse, I got the vanilla mint creme br\u00fbl\u00e9e to share. The only thing mint about it was the leaf that garnished it, and they didn't use vanilla beans, just extract. That is a sin in my opinion, and it was also slightly over cooked and beginning to be curdled. Needless to say I will not return to this place and will not be recommending it. \nAlso, the \""sour creme fraiche\"" was a turn off on the desserts menu. The sour is unnecessary.
