Text - I've always felt like the superficiality of this place makes me feel unwanted, the only reason I go is because of my fantastic stylist, who has since moved to another salon. With that said, I'm glad I don't have to shlep down the 51 to a salon full of self-absorbed people.

Text - This place was great! A group of us were in Montreal a couple of weeks ago for Osheaga and we went to Wienstein and Gavino's on our first night in the city. I love the decor, there's outdoor seating, 2 floors with tons of space, very accommodating staff (especially for a group of 12 who made a reservation 30 min before we arrived) and the food and drinks were great! A little bit over-priced for smaller portions, but we expected that. Our server was awesome! We'll definitely return the next time we're in the city.

Text - Food - WAY OVER PRICED and not as good as you would expect with the prices. We ordered an appetizer sampler. The brought us potato skins that were still frozen in the middle, we asked for them to take them back and they did and when they brought them back they were burnt. My friend ordered a steak and asked that it be done Medium Well and when it came it was so rare it was practically mooing. \n\nDrinks - Decent but nothing to rave about. \n\nService - Poor. Our wait staff was over whelmed by their section and was running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I understand that environments like that can cause this but I have seen worse and he should have been able to handle it. The management that came and talked to us was rude and a bit snarky. We were spending over $130 in the establishment and he acted as though we were an inconvenience since we were not happy with the appetizer or one of the drinks we had ordered. When my friend explained that her steak was not cooked enough he did offer to take it back and have it recooked but by that time that had taken place she had lost her appetite.\n\nAtmosphere - Best part of the experience.\n\nAfter being spoken to the way the manager spoke to us I can safely say I will NEVER return to this Claim Jumper. For the amount of money we spent that night I would have at least expected some common courtesy.

Text - Summary: The food is delicious. The constantly changing menu ensures freshness and variety. The well trained staff is possibly the best in the Pittsburgh area. The location is out of the way, and the price is high for what it is.\n\nBona Terra occupies the perfect space for a cozy neighborhood bistro, but it  has sets for itsef up more ambitious aims. It not only features a talented chef, but has also trained a set of polished wait-staff whose services are smooth and attentive yet unobtrusive so that the food takes the center-stage.\n\nMy dinner consisted of a seared tuna appetizer, followed by duck as the main course, ending with the peach cobbler dessert. The preparation was bold, not fussy. The quality of the ingredients allows the flavor to speak for itself.  For my vegetarian companion, the chef prepared a dish off the menu, taking care not to include ingredients that she didn't like (you need to call ahead for vegetarian choices). The Asian-influenced soup that another companion ordered, however, was less felicitous; it's the one off-note all evening. Overall, the chef seems at his best when preparing contemporary dishes with strong flavors; I recommend staying away from plates that require deft hands and subtlety.\n\nThis restaurant reminds me a bit of Pangea in Shadyside. BT has a greater variety, but Pangea handles fusion flavors better. BT is attempting to give its diners a more refined experience with way better service; on the other hand, Pangea is convenient, costs 10% less, and offers a bar and live jazz. for a more lively atmosphere.\n\nI enjoyed my meal at Bona Terra, and would not mind eating there again. However, I suspect that it wouldn't be an option that pops up in my mind frequently.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Trying to decide where to pick up dinner for my family, I decided to try this place, based on the great Yelp reviews.   I went to their website, and placed my order to be picked up at 6 p.m.   I ALMOST chose to pay by credit card online, SO glad I chose 'cash' instead because when I GOT there at 6:00,...the store was full of workers who were completely REMODELING the store, and they looked at me like I was nutz.   Ended up going to Pong Pong chinese (also based on my Yelp research), had to wait a LONG time (since I didn't have time to pre-order it), but it was VERY good food.   I guess I'll have to wait to try Mr. Goodcents.  I wish they'd noted on their website that they'd be closed for remodeling.
