Text - I'm surprised I haven't written a review for this place. I got married in 2008 and we had one of our wedding registries here. When I first moved in with my husband (at the time, boyfriend), we came here very often since it was down the street and we bought just about everything here. I really like that a lot of the items there are from Europe or some exotic place. Most of my hand blown glass are from Italy and they're beautiful. \n\nI got quite a bit of gift cards for this place from our wedding and we went to town, buying tons of things here. During the holidays, I find myself perusing this place and just buying little things here and there. \n\nI love the champagne and wine glasses and got quite a bit of them. The customer service is really great here and I haven't had a bad experience here *knock on wood* \n\nI just came here again to buy some things for an upcoming house warming party and I just can't wait until I can fully furnish my place with Crate and Barrel.

Text - BLD is the one place in Chandler that I really want to like, but after three visits, I just give up. They have a great-looking menu, a hip-kinda vibe, and all the promise in the world. And that's where it ends.\n\nA disinterested hostess will invariably seat you in the one table you'd least prefer. Near the kitchen entrance. Near an angry baby. Whatever.\n\nNext, one of several equally disinterested servers will arrive to take your drink order and by the time you've worked up a good thirst, drinks will arrive. If you're lucky, it'll be the drinks you actually ordered. If you're really lucky, they'll be good.\n\nThe one saving grace on the breakfast menu is the Monte Cristo. A+, seriously. Everything else is average, despite how it reads on the overpromising menu. And don't worry about the prices: just pretend you're in Scottsdale or, say, Midtown Manhattan, for the entire meal. If you remember you're in Chandler, you'll just get angry.\n\nLike the breakfast menu, the lunch menu equally overpromises, but that's okay, because you'll wait just as long to receive your food. If it's not over or undercooked, you might as well just dig in and not think about how much you overpaid for a sub-par meal.\n\nBLD looks and act like they want to be a BFD (big friggin' deal) but they need to start caring about both their customers and their food first. A good menu doesn't make a good restaurant if you don't deliver the goods.

Text - The good: clean place, nice linen table cloth, you can sit where you are out near the crowds walking by, waiters are quite attentitive and friendly.\n\nThe bad: the food was only edible. There were two of us and neither of us liked what we had although we were able to eat some of it. Would never eat here again.

Text - This was a great hotel to stay in over our Spring Break holiday the rooms were large enough to accommodate 4 guys very comfortably. The kitchen was a life saver as we were able to cook and cut down on food costs which gave us more money to have fun with on the strip. The hotel is clean and quiet, a must have when you get home at 5 or 6am and all you want is a retreat from lights and crowds.The staff here are very friendly and down to earth, every night before we would head out the ladies at the desk would compliment us on our attire and hell who doesn't enjoy compliments? It's far off the strip but the daily shuttle runs at convenient times and can drop you off at the Excalibur and if you're in your 20's you can walk a mile or two. Being off the strip has it's advantages  though you're close to a supermarket that sells liquor! Theres a In N Out and a Denny's a short walk/ride away which is awesome on a college budget. Yeah when girls asked us where we were staying I would mutter the name but if you have a little game you don't need a penthouse at the Wynn (Though it probably helps). At least we were all comfortable in separate beds and not crammed into a $150 a night matchbox with a view of a wall. Bottom line it was Affordable, Quiet, and Roomy would definitely stay here again if we cant get the Wyndham this year.\n\n*Keep in mind this is a family/retiree oriented resort so you won't really catch any ladies at the pool unless you like liver spots and wrinkles...\n\n**Ask Fred the shuttle driver about the night he hit it big! Best Vegas story ever!!

Text - Hubby got his Mac Book Pro here and after a year, needed some work done it...He had done memory upgrades when he bought it and when he brought it in, when they ran the diagnostics they have to put it back as close to default as possible. So they removed the 2 extra gigs of RAM he had bought...when we got home, he noticed 2 gigs of ram was missing.\n\nOf course, nothing could be done about it because we'd already left the store...grrr...granted it's only $40, but still...if we're taking stuff to you guys, please have the courtesy of restoring the mac to its original post purchase state with memory, ya know?\n\nAlso, we gave them his phone number...which seems to cause massive confusion and I really hate it when they talk down to him because he has a 408 area code, NOT 480. They always ask, \""are you sure?\"" To which one of us always has to reply, \""Yes, we're sure. We've had our numbers for the last 10 years - they are northern California numbers.\"" We still get blank stares. So even after the girl made notations about our area code, we still didn't get a call back because they had to order in the needed part...grrr....we called today and guess what? It's been there, but no one could reach us - it's the whole 408 vs 480 thing.\n\nAnyway, 2 stars for now since they totally ripped us off on hubby's memory. Let's hope the repair goes much better.

Text - It's not the Four Seasons, but more appropriate for a Vegas weekend.
