A Let Down. I was so excited to find this decor shop in…read moredowntown Kingston, as I prefer to shop locally instead of at big box stores. I found a great faux fiddle leaf tree and tried it out in the space I was looking to fill in my bedroom. After trying it here and several other locations I decided I wanted to return it. I called several times last week to try and make sure I would be able to return it, as this tree is about 6' tall and is very difficult to transport. I finally left a voicemail on their machine on Sunday. They got back to me on Monday saying I would need the receipt and in 15 days of purchasing. At the time I couldn't find the receipt, but went searching and found it. My boyfriend took the first part of the morning off work to help me transport it, as we both work until 6:00pm (when the store closes). When I brought it in the sale person said we also needed an additional receipt that had some 25 digit code on it. She showed us an example of one at the cash, which was stapled to the credit receipt. My receipt had no staple marks in it, and we inquired as to why mine may have not been stapled as well- also why I was not told about this particular receipt I needed. Mine says "Amanda's House of Elegance" on it and shows the price of the item. I don't think it was fair to turn us away. I must say, I was extremely disappointed in the service. This item was almost $300.00. I am clearly a potential customer that is willing to buy high end items. I would have expected better service and more willingness from the staff to satisfy the customer. Though I prefer to shop locally, I will not be returning to this store. I can't see how this business could ever compete with stores like Homesense (which has a 30 day return policy) or Pier 1 (which has a 45 day return policy) with no hassle and additionally has much more competitive pricing.

A very well organized and very clean store and in a great location DOWNTOWN Kingston! Amanda's…read moreHouse of Elegance is packed full of amazing décor........and ohhhh those pillows!!

I expected so much more from River Mill. After looking at the website and reading reviews, I was…read moreexcited to eat dinner there. I always check websites. ALWAYS. I need to make sure they have something gluten-free I can eat and check to see if reservations are required. The website said nothing about needing one. I ate here on a Saturday night before going to a paranormal investigation at the Kintail Mill. The location is gorgeous and on the water. There is a large parking lot and ramp for wheelchairs. I have to be honest, when I stepped inside. I felt like I stepped back in time. I feel like this restaurant was a staple in the community way back when and hasn't evolved with the times quite enough. The outside is incredible brick face, but the walls are beige and there is heavy, dark brown furniture everywhere. The pattern in the carpet even felt dated to me. Nice light fixtures though. I could see an old grandfather clock from my table when I was seated. Had a bit of charm to it but added to the dated feel. I was put off immediately by the man who seated me. I told him I was 1 for dinner and I believe he asked if I had a reservation. I said no and he appeared flustered and, maybe I read him wrong, but thoroughly annoyed with my presence. I'm coming here to spend my hard-earned money, and I'm annoying you? I've said before, I don't cheap out on vaca eats and spent well over $100 with tip on this meal. I did not appreciate that first impression. The tables were covered in linen and it was, by my best description, an attempt at dated upscale. The kind of place Robert Irving needs to visit to revamp. The server and bartender though, they were younger than everyone else working there and both huge credits to the place. Anisah was my server, and she was friendly, engaging and perfect. I think she could tell I was a bit rattled and had a very calming way about her. The bartender made me the best margarita I ever had in my entire life. I think he put ground up unicorn horn in there or something! Anisah offered gluten-free bread with this amazing oil, which turned out to be some of the best I've had in a restaurant, and they don't add a surcharge like Chez Piggy does. But it's bread...great GF bread. Very much appreciated, but it's the main event that is make or break. I ordered the beef tenderloin and added lobster. The meal came out. It had what appeared to be a sweet potato puree, the tenderloin and a lobster tail. There was asparagus, of which I'm not fan, but I liked it on this plate. The puree was pretty good. The beef had a lot of flavour, enjoyed that. But the lobster tail. It was raw on the inside. If you blow up the photos, you can see it. I took a bite before I realized and it turned my stomach. Anisah took it back and it came back out overdone and rubbery. It also had a funny taste, like it had been in the freezer forever. And I'm reasonably sure it had been. The rest of the patrons were elderly, and don't get me wrong, I'm 56 myself, but I felt out of place or that maybe they were having some kind of event that I didn't belong being at. This feeling of being out of place persisted throughout the entire meal. In fact, I felt relieved when I walked out the front door. And I could taste that nasty freezerburnt lobster tail the entire 2-hour drive to Kintail Mill. I'm visiting Kingston again in October and definitely will NOT visit again. Anisah was incredible - she gets a 5 star from me - but she couldn't make up for the rest of the experience. I don't mind ever paying $100 for a meal, but that was not up to par.

The Dolce massage was amazing but do not include the River Mill Restaurant. We did and the…read morescallops came cold so I sent the back and they were still luke warm. When I ask why I was told you can only reheat them so much. I was shocked. I know I have high expectations but even my daughter said she would not eat them. We have spent 24 years in Southern CA and I know my sea food, that is one item on any menu that you do not reheat. You plan and hopefully the chief knows how quick they cook and can serve them hot. For $25 cook 4 new scallops and serve when done. My daughters chicken wrap was dry and finally had to request bread and olive oil to add flavor. The one good thing was the soup of the day was pipping hot but had to wait to long after requesting bread to the for dipping in the soup. It was worth the extra $50 to have a bottle of Prosecco so we were relaxed for the massages. Thank goodness this was not my Mother's Day lunch/brunch. I would not recommend if you have a palate for taste. I hate writing reviews like this but would have for a special occasion to end in disappointment.
