My daughter has been here since she was two and is now 6 on the mini comp team and I love watching the support the teachers and the older girls have been taught to give them and each other and while this is a smaller "less fancy/intense" studio, they compete at the same events as larger studios, they perform / compete very well - and most importantly are happy, proud and committed to each other.

Her website is very hard to read and there is NOT a refund policy listed for recitals so she is keeping the entire amount for the recital even though we will not be attending, which includes the dress, tickets to the show etc.. After only a few e-mails asking for a full or part refund (or to work with us) for the class and or the recital, she accused us of harassing her. She said that the dress was started to be made so she could not cancel it however she WOULD NOT provide the cost of the dress or the cost of the tickets in an itemized receipt. As I was going to offer to pay for the dress and I was hoping she would reimburse me for the rest (tickets to the show etc..) since we are not attending however she would NOT provide the cost of the dress or the cost of the tickets in an itemized receipt. She would not give us a penny back. In my opinion, that means she is hiding the amounts she is charging for the recital. Very suspicious! On her website, she lists that she offers part reimbursement for class tuition however she CHOSE to give us credit for classes. Basically, in my opinion, she is teaching us a lesson for canceling and she knows we will never go back to her Dance company again, which means she can keep all the money. She also had the nerve to charge my card again for the next month's tuition AFTER we canceled the class, which she said would be reversed, however, this shows her bad business practices. We are very sad and absolutely astonished at this owner's lack of care for her customers and bad business practices. I have lost over $150 with this company, I have never seen such horrible customer service In my life.

It was so nice being able to go into a TRENDY/ nice restaurant and be able to order what I want. I'm used to going to these quick, casual, vegan restaurants so it was refreshing. Parking is a little confusing and crowded but it wasn't bad. I believe their parking lot was like one building down but we found a parking spot pretty quick. We went in around 1:30 and I believe we just missed the brunch crowd but it was still a decent amount of people and I did not feel like people were sitting on top of us. We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation which I didn't realize that we needed one. Still not sure, but the bartender and all of the other staff were very pleasant. The food came out at a decent time as you can imagine with plant based food, and was delicious. The mimosas I had were amazing. Very different. Can't wait to take all of my non vegan friends. I am so happy to be able to say that!

My family of 5 visited Alchemy for Brunch…read more First, my wife and son waited 30 minutes for drinks, and when they arrived they were the wrong drinks. They both ordered iced Cinnamon Toast Crunch lattes, and both received a hot version thereof. As for the food, my daughter ordered her steak medium, and it was far overcooked. This is inexcusable - both to cook AND to present if you're a food runner - but she didn't want to make a fuss, so she kept it and ate half of it. In addition, the steak was butchered badly, with a far amount of unrendered fat. It's 4oz of strip, not an 18oz ribeye. Whoever was expediting should've had it recooked. Additionally, the fries were soggy, the eggs were far from over easy, the hollandaise was bland, and the steak-covering 'tomato aioli' (which looked or tasted like neither) just seemed a way to try to hide the mistakes with the steak. Please see the attached photos for documentation of her dish. The other food issue was with my wife's (beautifully plated) Japanese pancakes. When I've ordered these in the past - or made them, or even relied on the description in your menu - they've been light and fluffy. Generally, this is accomplished via folding in egg whites, which lends an airiness to the dish. Deflation is normally a concern, but not with yours. It was as though dense pancake batter was simply cooked in a ring mold. In terms of the service in general, it was subpar, to put it kindly. My eldest daughter never had her water refilled, and in general the waits were too long between checkups at each stage of the meal. And finally, the check. When the check arrived, it included three additional drinks beyond what we ordered. After pointing it out to the waiter, and him having it corrected, it still contained (contains, actually) an additional drink. Regardless, I went ahead and paid it, because everyone was annoyed and ready to go. Somewhat slow service I can understand, especially with the labor issues that have plagued service industries of late. I still tipped $22, because my wife and I both used to work in restaurants and understand that people should be paid a fair wage regardless. That said, a $170 breakfast - without alcohol - should be memorable... for good reasons. I'm giving it a 2, because the presentation was definitely instagram-ready. But it's been 5 days since I emailed them feedback, and not so much as an automated reply. So maybe even the 1 was undeserved...

Bathrooms were located in the back, but unfortunately there were only 2 stalls in the ladies restroom and for an event and amount of people that were there, it was not enough to have the line flow smoothly.

This 1930s fireman's hall is restored but still hosts plenty of character with its gorgeous brick facade, dark wood floors and open banquet space. There's also a nice stage space which is perfect for a small production, speech or screen drop. I've been here for a few different events and have enjoyed the space thoroughly. Parking can be a bit tight out front, but there's usually a fair amount of room near the back. If you're looking for a cool event or reception space, The Palmer Building should be on your short list!

The space itself is lovely in that effortless way where the design doesn't try too hard but still feels polished and intentional. The indoor area has plenty of room to breathe and the deck is a real standout, a spot that makes you want to linger a little longer and sip a drink. Parking, though, is its own little adventure. It's not impossible, but it's definitely something you need to plan for unless you like circling like a shark. Arriving early is the move and knowing the small tricks helps, like the architectural firm's spots that are blocked only until 5pm and fair game after that. Once you're parked and inside, the stress melts off pretty quickly, but the logistics are worth keeping in mind so you can actually enjoy what is otherwise a genuinely great venue.

Cable network "Nick at Nite" chose me to promote the opening of the network on a tour and I've shared the stage with many huge stars. I travel the world with my act and typically perform in large theaters and showrooms. A few days ago, I was hired to perform for a private hotel event in which Caesar was the DJ. I was to use his sound. Prior to the event, Caesar was asked about what type of mic he would provide, if there would be a monitor so I could hear, if he could provide basic reverb and a normal sound check. Those are minimum requirements for any singer. Caesar was resistive at first to providing reverb because he said it wasn't included in his price. We got that handled. However, at the venue, he didn't even have a dedicated mic for me. He handed off his mic to me, with no regard for EQ or relative volume of my voice and tracks. Why would he not bring a singer her own mic is beyond me? Then, his monitor that was pointed at his head behind me, was not in earshot for me to hear. So, I barely heard the music while I was singing. Lastly, he did not give me a promised sound check. All he was willing to do was rush me through the order of my tracks and get an understanding of when to press play. All the while, he made excuses of not having time for me because he was so busy and had to get dressed himself. It was quite sad to be treated as if my contribution to the evening was of little significance to him. Luckily, I have been performing professionally for over 30 years and was still able to find a way to give the audience a good show. And Caesar is probably wonderful when being only a DJ. But I would never ask him to include a pro singer within his wheelhouse as a sound man. I hope this helps another singer from having a similar experience. It is not fair for the singer, the audience or the client.
