The food wasnt all that bad(or that good). What really suprised me was how my wife was treated when she asked if she could have her sandwich heated up just a little bit more. The sandwich was ice cold in the middle and the person that she asked snapped at her and rolled his eyes. Also,this person wa...
The food was not hot when it came out and it took forever. I've not had a good dining experience at Baratta's the last few times I've been there and I won't be going back anytime soon. I talked about my experience with some friends and they, too had similar experiences. It is too bad - it used to ...
A group of coworkers and I decided to try out the 'new' Johnny's for lunch on Thursday, March 20th. We arrived around 11:30, didn't get to order until 12:00, and the food did not arrive until 12:30. I ordered the small Ceasar Salad; when it arrived (in a cup just slightly larger than a coffee cup), ...
The service was poor--brought me the wrong meal twice, and third time it was cold. There was no apology by the service staff or management for the errors. The waiter gave us lunch menus instead of dinner menus so we ordered, and then had to re-order. I will never return there!
The Court Avenue Brew Pub is a fine place to eat if you don't mind leaving with you and your family smelling like an ashtray. With more and more restaurants in town voluntarily going smoke-free, I will never again take my family to such an unhealthy environment.
Food Poisoning is a Horrible Experience!! Beware of this overpriced wanna-be establishment!! my fiance got food poisoning from Centro!! certified by Mercy Hospital!! It's so much fun being in the ER at 2am!! and it is even worse when Centro won't even accept any responsibility!! The Chef there didn'...
From the moment you step into the restaurant you will encounter an odd musty smell...once you get past that then the drinks are good and the food okay. BUT expect to wait a VERY VERY long time for your food. My table waited over 1 hour (during lunch) for food. When we asked to speak to a manger we w...
Service was horrible. We were seated quickly then our server took forever to get to our table and only came back two or three times. We ordered our lunch and it took an hour to get it. During which time other guests were seated and had eaten and where gone before our food even got to our table. ...
I've never written a review before but I was so infuriated with the service I received that I had to share it with others. It's too bad that in today's society people are not treated with respect. We had a very bad experience at Buzzard Billy's. Our table was seated right away - no waiting. But,...
The oles we got were hard as a brick and could not be ate
I am a big fan of Indian cuisine, but this restaurant just plain sucks!
The food is absolutely terrible. It tastes like microwaveable food you can buy at Indian grocery stores. Anyone who says this place is excellent has no idea what they're talking about. They most-likely work at the restaurant or they know someone who does.
They placed false advertisment in the Mailmart Shopper that circulated on 10/03/06. They advertised 4 large 2 toppings pizza's for $7.99 and wouldn't honor it. They need to learn to keep their customers happy by living up their word, even if it was their mistake. I'm sure someone had to approve ...

What happened? When this place opened a few months ago it held such promise. Based on a most recent visit I'd say Dubay's is suffering from an identity crisis. The menu was largely the same, but the artwork, ambience, music and service was confusing, disturbing, and sorely lacking. My food was c...

One heck of a value for the dollar. Ordered open face steak for lunch, and it was perfect. First time I have ever been at this resturant, and the owner was very pleasant. will definitely return for another lunch
