Case: i only wnt to burn on friday nights when they do their \""french kiss\"" night with dj william \""fucking\"" reed, but I would have to say this is the best indie night in phoenix alongside \""shake\"" at rogue (which william \""fucking\"" reed also hosts). the music at \""french kiss\"" however has an electro-clash, electronica, and dance punk base whereas \""shake\"" has an old school punk, post punk, and indie rock base. however, \""french kiss\"" just moved to homme lounge.\n\nthe actual place itself is great. it is really huge with a huge dance room, a smaller semi-indoor room with a fireplace, and a patio with many tables where you can drink and smoke. the bar is absolutely massive which makes it easy to get a drink. the huge room also has many large booths where you can lounge and watch people dance. waiters come around to all the tables and will get drinks for you and put them on your tab. it has really awesome sound, lighting, and decor and usually really good djs on friday nights.\n\nthe bad things about the place are the fact that there is no beer on tap which always drives me crazy. it has a biazarre unisex bathroom where you walk in to where the sinks are and then either go left for ladies or right for guys. \n\nalso, they start a cover (even though it is usually a cheap 3 or 5 dollars) too early in my opinion. i have got there slightly after 10, when there is still only around 20 people there and they try to charge me a cover. really fucking stupid. this can lead to there being very few people there not much of a dance party. especially during the summer.

Case: I had visited this restaurant named Halo-Halo Kitchen in 2013 and I had the most horrible experience.  I am an American and often visit this restaurant with my other Filipino friends, but during this last visit in 2013  I had the most horrible experience.  My American friend, who is married to a Filipina, had ordered a hamburger and French fries.  After the order was placed, I inquired about his order and I was told that it would take 5 - 10 more minutes for the order to complete.  I mentioned to the owner, Susan Bulos, that you must have just killed the cow in order to cook the hamburger.  Apparently this joke was very offensive to Susan and her husband as they started to treat me like \""garage\"" as a paying customer for their restaurant. \nI had visited this restaurant with 8 people, one customer was coming back to the restaurant for the 2nd time in the same day to meet us and enjoy our company.  After I was offended and treated like \""garbage\"" I asked the owner to speak to me.  After she made me wait for approximately 8 minutes she spoke to me.  I explained to her that I was an offended customer and asked her to make things right and she refused. \n\nI submitted my credit card and she charged me $82.48, ironically the bill said Thank You at the bottom.  I am writing this commentary to make sure that everyone understands there may be other underlying issues at this restaurant.  As I think about these circumstances I can only ascertain that perhaps the reason Susan and her husband treated me like \""garbage\"" was because they had something to hide, perhaps about their hamburger, their cooking, their food or their sanitary conditions.  I looked at my friend's hamburger and it did not look normal.  I can't figure out why a restaurant owner would treat a paying customer in a strange matter unless there may be underlying issues regarding their restaurant.  I emphasize to EVERYONE reading this letter that I gave the owner, Susan Bulos, the opportunity to make things right, to make a friendly gesture to a paying customer but she REFUSED.  As paying customers in a difficult economy, do we, the consumers, really want to be treated this way?  I don't think so.\n\n________________________________________________________________\n\nRecently my friend posted some Facebook posts regarding Halo Halo - see below what her experience was .....\n\nA friend of mine purchased Ensaymada from Halo Halo on 9/18/14 and was planning on having it for breakfast, but she noticed that there were 2 orange stickers on each of the  packaging indicating their expiration date.  She became curious as to what was underneath the orange sticker, once peeled off she saw that the expiration date was the same day as when she bought the Ensaymada.  She was so disappointed to be deceived by this restaurant and for the restaurant to deceive their loyal Philippine (and white) customers.  To conceal and change the expiration date just by putting another sticker on top of the original expiration date.  It might have been ok if they clearly told each of their customers their food must be consumed the same day as it was purchased, but to conceal this information is very dishonest.  Let this be a warning to everyone eating at this restaurant.  I personally have also had bad experiences with this restaurant's food and service and this only proves that my bad experience was not a sole incident.  If they are doing this to their Ensaymada, imagine what they do their beef and chicken.  I can only imagine how they bend the rules to save money.  If you can't run a business at a profit by following the rules of good business, then close.

Case: I  started with Jessica at Maximum Pilates about a month ago. It's been a great experience. The instructors are super knowledgeable, classes small and the equipment is top notch. The studio is unpretentious, welcoming and very relaxing. I always look forward to going and am getting stronger and seeing results every week.\nI would highly recommend it  if you're looking for a pilates studio.

Case: I am very unhappy with their quality... I live around the corner a quit using them because the end result was me driving to another car wash w/in a couple days because my car was still too dirty from AZ Auto Wash's poor wash job.  Complain??? How about they just do a good job the first time.  Streaks, WATER SPOTS every where, wheels still dirty, inside hardly cleaned, roof untouched... In all fairness it is a 4 wheel drive truck, BUT they charge an addition fee for larger vehicles so they should catch the roof!  The management is milktoast and NO, I don't want the chips fixed in my windshield... NO MEANS NO quit the hard sell and move on to the next customer in line Window Jockey!  Just used AZ Auto Wash again today hoping things had changed and rather than asking me for an additional fee to remove gum from my paint near the front wheel, the woman used a wet rag to grind and smear it into my black paint.  Manager's solution... A $130 detail will buff it out. CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!!! Find a better car wash... This one consistently SUCKS!!!!

Case: RU kidding me?  There is a reason the food is relatively cheap.....It's realtively bad.   You know the cardboard pizza that is occasionally mentioned when you talk about bad pizza?  This is an example.  The sauce is the worst....\nI did however, mark that it was good for groups, as there is always plenty of room....Does that indicate something?...Lots of open space....\nUncle Sam wants you....to go somewhere else.\n\nThere was another area below that asked \""Good for\"" and included the opportunity to say \""breakfast, lunch, dinner,\""  etc....I didn't mark anything in there as they did not have one that said \""nothing\""...

Case: They called to tell me that I did not win the car I had entered a contest for. Instead I won 3 free nights and days at the Luxor or Excalibur hotel. Course the catcher? I'd have to give them $124 on my credit card as a sign of good faith. No thanks. \n\nAlso I'd be required to do a tour of their resort, where they'd lure me into buying a time share. Me thinks not. \n\nI'm kinda annoyed that me entering a contest to win a car at the Luxor meant that they would take my info and call and try to lure me into a time share. Its not a scam its just annoying. You have to say no. Repeatedly. Damn you Luxor! Damn you Cris Angel!

In followup to Courtney, Nine on Nine owner's reply to my posted review. Here is additional commentary on the evening. As for returning my entree: Myself and my wife were six of eight at our table that ordered the Hanger Steak entree. My wife did indeed return the cold entree to the server. It was not replaced, but returned to the table after being placed under the broiler to be heated. This just made the meat more \""over-done\"". After the others in the group saw this, they just kept their entrees, including myself. In fact, most chuckled at another disappointment. Since my review, I talked to other diners in our group seated at another table and their salads were all served undressed as well. Evidently, their server brought dressing to their table, but none was offered to ours? Note: At no time during the entire dinner did our server's ask anyone as to how their dinner was tasting. At no time did a Manager approach our table to ask how things were going. As for the comment about dessert, and why not complain? \nAt this point the meal was a disaster, and when the failed dessert arrived, everyone was so unhappy, we were just wanting to exit the closest door. Again, almost everyone at our table ordered the Creme Brule, and they all were not eaten. Did anyone notice this on your team?? Yes, you are correct that I we did not complain profusely, my group said to just get over it and not to let a crappy meal ruin our fabulous 5 day trip to Pittsburgh. My wife asked me to not make a scene, but I was so unhappy, I did abruptly confront the manager on the way out. \nAs I would want others to post their disappointment to let me know their bad experiences, I posted my bad experience. As an additional followup: I noticed in another posted Yelp review of your restaurant, that your Chef did indeed leave to open his own place: Meat and Potatoes. Interesting enough, we dined their two night's previously, and had a wonderful meal with great service. We were indeed asked many times how things were going throughout the night.\n\nAttached below is my original post:\n\nHorrible Experience! Stay away! You have been Warned!!\nOh My God, is this place terrible. Did they lose there chef? If not, they need too. Well, we arrived, a pre-set event with 12 couples for dinner. We arrived, and they were not ready for us. We actually arrived about 10 minutes after our confirmed time. It was a Chinese fire drill to get us seated 20 minutes later, 30 minutes after our confirmed reserved time. \n\""Strike One\"": Our salads arrived at the table and the kitchen failed to dress them! \n\""Strike Two\"": Then our Hanger Steak entr\u00e9es arrived Cold and Overcooked on the meat and the sides were raw and under-cooked. We should have known it was a goner when we asked for medium-rare and the server said the kitchen only does medium? If, we were there ourselves, we would have got up and left.\n \""Strike Three\"": The Dessert arrives. They called it: Blood Orange Cr\u00e8me Brule??  It was un-edible. Who ever made this and then let it be served should be fired on the spot. There is not a Culinary School in America that would call this Cr\u00e8me Brule. Ugh!!  Take this as a warning and head over the \""Eleven\"" where we dined last night, which was spot on for 3 magnificent courses. If this place is in business 12 months from now, I will be surprised.  Take my advice and head somewhere else.
