Now on to the family meal food delivery. There's nothing more exciting than seeing Chef John on your doorstep delivering dinner! Yee Ha! Mama ain't cookin' tonight, folks!

I would like to voice my extreme disappointment in the astonishingly misleading and overall bad…read morelevel of service I have received in connection with a Pacific Kitchen & Home / Best Buy appliance purchase. Particularly, I want to highlight the deceptive tactics by which the so called "Premier Protection Plan" is sold. In late June, I purchased a dishwasher ($900), refrigerator ($2800), and freezer ($800) from Pacific Kitchen & Home at Best Buy. The dishwasher came highly recommended in respect to reliability by the Pacific sales rep. Furthermore, the sales rep very aggressively pushed the so called "Premier Protection Plan", which is essentially an expensive extended warranty plan. The plan was sold as a "no hassle" service that would kick in the "unlikely event" that one of my high-end appliances should break. Less than 6 months later, this claim was put to the test when my "highly reliable" dishwasher completely broke. We called Pacific sales and after a long long wait time we were told that there would be no service available for 10 days! When indicated that this was unacceptable, a representative who identified herself as "Nicole" put me on hold for over 30 minutes and then dumped the call. I called back and spoke with a representative named "JR" who seemed completely unconcerned by my hold/hangup treatment. JR also asserted that my "premier protection plan" does not "really" protect me for the first 2 years! And that I would need to contact the manufacturer. At least "Nicole" did not deny that I was protected, but now the story was changing. When I asked to speak with the manager to resolve the conflicting positions being asserted by the representatives, I was put on hold for over 25 minutes. "JR" came back to tell me the "Adam", the manager, was "in a meeting". Having lost a large part of my workday to this hassle, I agreed to a call-back "very soon". No call ever came from "Adam". I then called three additional times trying to get in touch with a manager, any manager, each time they were "in a meeting", "with a client", or otherwise "indisposed" (whatever that means). Each time a call back was promised and each time no call ever materialized. In conclusion, there are two major problems here: (1) The Pacific/Best Buy sales rep misrepresented the terms of the so called "Premier Protection Plan". (2) Pacific sales/warranty service is absolutely awful. It is difficult to believe that Best Buy, which is an otherwise decent company with which I have successfully conducted business for many years, tolerates this toxic and very short sited approach to customer service. I feel very much deceived here and taken advantage of by the misleading tactics of Pacific Kitchen & Home / Best Buy.

In 2016, I remodeled my house and purchased all new appliances from Pacific/Best Buy. I also…read morepurchased a protection plan, Premier Protection Plan (888-825-2678), for the more expensive appliances. Today, I called Premier about my refrigerator for the second time and was on hold for just shy of 2 hours before speaking with a human being. The "music" playing while I was on hold was nothing less than torture. This was a miserable experience and terrible way to waste 2+ hours. To add insult to injury, I was told the supervisor was busy, could not talk to me and that the operator couldn't give me his name. Bottom line the Samsung refrigerator is lousy and so is the Premier Protection Plan.

Wow! What an incredible experience at Sixty Vines in The Domain!…read more We made our reservation through OpenTable and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. When we arrived at our table, we were surprised with a handwritten Happy Anniversary postcard and a beautifully presented gift--such a thoughtful touch that immediately made the evening feel special. Our server, Polina, was absolutely fantastic. She took the time to learn what styles of wine we enjoy and brought us a few samples before helping us choose an amazing wine flight. Her recommendations were spot-on! We also enjoyed a custom charcuterie board and the prosciutto & fig pizza, both of which were outstanding. To top it all off, Andrew, the manager, stopped by our table to make sure everything was perfect. We loved learning about Sixty Vines' unique wine-on-tap program and appreciated their commitment to sustainability, including composting food scraps. (They didn't have much to compost from our table--maybe a bite or two of pizza crust! ) The only disappointing part of the evening was that we had tickets to a show and couldn't stay longer to explore more of their incredible wine selection. That's just another reason we'll definitely be back!

OK, so ended up giving this place another chance. The manager Andrew reached out because of my…read morereview in the fact that it was an enjoyable experience and he wanted for us to have a good one this time. When we arrived, our table was ready right away this time and it was a great table. It wasn't packed this time. It was busy still, but overall the place and environment is great. Our waiter was amazing. He was very attentive knew what to recommend and was very nice and a fun person also. This time we started off with a golden beats and let me tell you they were delicious and the cheese that they use at the bottom is just phenomenal. This is definitely something you need to get. We also started off with the muscles and they were delicious. The broth that they were in was so good. You could literally drink it and you just wanted to submerge your bread in it. I also got an espresso martini to wake up because I've been so jetlagged and it was perfect. it was a good balance of the espresso and not sweet. I love that they don't use milk here unlike other places. My mother got the opera spritz and it was delicious. Very well balanced. It was not Avril heavy like some places tend to do. My mother got the Braised pork pasta, and it was divine. This was full of flavor a good amount of sauce not salty. We also got the chefs butcher pizza and it was amazing. I loved that you can tell they make all the ingredients there and the bread is just so good. Also had some kind of sauce on there with some piece of cheese that just balanced it so good. Definitely thanks to this experience. I will say I will keep going back. I'm thinking maybe when I first swim they were just having an off day but now trying the rest of these dishes. They did really good and definitely a place to enjoy when you're at the domain.

Jack Allen's has become such a special place for our family. We're regulars and eat here at least…read moreonce a week, and every single visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The food is always incredible, but what truly sets this place apart is the people. Kylie, Nathan, Maddie, and so many others on the team consistently go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. Their kindness never feels forced -- it's just who they are. One moment that really stayed with me was when I brought my young niece, who has several allergies and can also be a bit picky with food. The chef personally came out to our table to ask thoughtful questions, understand her allergies better, and make sure she felt safe and comfortable eating there. That level of care meant so much to our family. Now that I'm pregnant, the staff continues to be just as attentive, accommodating, and thoughtful. They always make sure I'm comfortable and taken care of, and it honestly feels like visiting friends every time we walk through the door. Restaurants with great food are everywhere. Restaurants with genuinely wonderful people are rare. Jack Allen's is one of those rare places, and we're incredibly grateful for the amazing team there.

My husband got the fried pork chop and said it was cooked perfectly and that the gravy was delicious. Overall, an enjoyable meal and we would return.

Also, thanks so much for checking me into my reservation at Open Table so I can ensure I get more points to maintain my status.

My friends had glasses of white wine and I tried their holiday gin cocktail which was perfect for me as it was not too sweet. The server helped guide me to that drink choice. My friends had bruschetta, tuna salad, and grilled cheese with soup. We were able to walk in and easily get a table for 4 as it wasn't too busy. However, it started to fill up and it seemed like our server had many other tables because we wouldn't see her for a while and had to wait a bit for some follow up items. Overall a consistent, good time, and they can do separate checks which is great for a party of friends ordering different things!

True Food Kitchen is located in the Domain in Austin…read more Entering the restaurant it feels very spacious and open with a lot of greenery, a combination of real and artificial plants. We noticed also the outdoor seating options. We were seated in a side room still open to the main restaurant but a bit more secluded. The menu consists of healthy food choices with a lot of fresh components. I had the ancient grain bowl with seared salmon , glazed sweet potatoes cubes , onions, portobello mushrooms, avocado slice , snap peas and pistachio pesto which delicious. I could have eaten the pesto by the spoon My friend had the Chinese chicken salad with bok choy, watermelon relish, mixed greens , pickled ginger and avocado. The food is healthy AND delicious. The server suggested the Edamame dumplings as appetizer which was heavenly tasty. He also recommended the jasmine green tea where I as an avid tea drinker immediately noticed the bursting flavor of jasmine. He answered my question that it is high quality loose tea fresh brewed to order. True Food Kitchen definitely a must see when planning a dinner or lunch in the Domain.

****The forthcoming review is for the interaction with management at this Lowe's location***…read more I came into this location several weeks ago for the sole purposes of securing materials for Thing One's Eagle Scout project. When we arrived at the location, we requested to speak with a manager. After a brief conversation with one manager, we were directed to two other managers' specifically the pro sales manager, Craig Cottier, and Brian Scott, the assistant manager of specialty sales. Both of these managers went over the Eagle Scout proposal in depth with Thing One so they could fully understand what he was trying to accomplish. After a lengthy discussion, we were advised by the managers that the store had already reached their donation cap for the year, but they would try to work with Thing One to get discounted materials for the project. While I could pay for the materials myself, for those who are not aware, there is a fundraising component of an Eagle Scout project with specific rules and regulations. Eagle candidates may ask for donations of materials or discounts on materials from companies or individuals. The candidate must furnish a list of prospective donors with their fundraising application, per national policy, for council approval before soliciting the material donations or discounts. Candidates may also hold fundraising events, such as car washes, meat stick sales, and the like, with an approved application. Many scouts do fundraising or ask for donations as it allows them to show their leadership, communication, and project management skills they've learned while in the BSA. Thing One was able to get 28 pieces of 2x8 Pressure Treated Pine for less than $35 (that's a savings of over $350). The Pine was of excellent quality. Because of the generosity of Lowes and Craig and Brian, Thing One was able to complete his Eagle Scout project successfully while living up to the Boy Scout Law of being thrifty.
