There were 6 of us for brunch and none of us had been here before. The Shipwright's Daughter rivals many excellent experiences we had and surpasses most. The staff was super friendly and did everything they could to make our experience memorable. The brunch menu offers a nice assortment of options as we had one member in our party who had some eating restrictions. We started off with both raw and roasted oysters, both of which, we some of the best we have ever had. I love Shashuka. I've never had it with tomatillos. This version is now my favorite. I enjoyed the play between savory and acid. I chose my eggs to be prepared over easy expecting the yolks to add the desired richness that tomatillos can handle without overpowering their bite. What set this version apart for me was the addition of the pickled vegetables. They greatly complimented the tomatillos with their own sweetness and acidity that made for a well balanced bite. Others in our party felt similarly, that their meals were so flavorful and so well execucted that it made for a superb dining experience.

There was already a line to get in, but once the doors opened it moved pretty quickly. The biggest slowdown was the photos being taken right at the entrance. There was so much to see throughout the aquarium. My son especially loved the jellyfish exhibit and the water play area -- he had so much fun there he refused to leave. They also have beluga whales and African penguins, which were fun to see up close and hear facts about from the docents. One of the highlights was definitely the sea lion show. It happens every couple of hours, and we caught it right before leaving which ended up being the perfect way to finish the day. A heads up that a large portion of the aquarium experience is outdoors, so we were very thankful the rain held off during our visit. Overall, a fun family outing with plenty to explore!

Thank You K9 team!…read more Stella was an extremely fearful, nervous, and anxious Catahoula rescue. She used aggression to compensate for her fear of everything. Very unstable dog. The reality of the situation was that after several biting instances, putting her down was becoming a real possibility. My research led me to Nik K9NS. Nik's experience with aggressive dogs and his training methodology convinced me to spend the money, time, and effort to attempt to save Stella. I'm so glad I did. The results have been spectacular. her confidence building and socialization around other dogs and people are awesome . The future looks bright for Stella & me due to Nik and his awesome team. I just can't tell you how much I recommend K9 National Services

I hired Nick in April of 2021 for my dog Finn, who was becoming increasingly aggressive and…read moredangerous. I was desperate to find someone to help us as nothing I had been doing was helping (including working with other trainers). After meeting Nick and speaking with several of his clients I decided to hire him. I chose the lifelong package which was $10,000 due to the severity of Finn's behaviors. This was not an easy decision as $10,000 is an INSANE amount of money, but Finn was only 2.5 years old, my best friend, and we had so many more years together. -Nick has a way with animals that is very calming. When Nick entered the house Finn's demeanor changed (for the better), almost like a switch went off and the Finn we knew was back. -During the decision process, Nick told me to choose anyone from his google reviews to speak with regarding their experience. He provided their number, and I gave them a call and was able to ask plenty of questions. -Nick does things in a very unorthodox way, but many things did work well for us. Keeping an open mind while working with Nick is a must. -The reviews that state Nick uses water and flicks it at dogs is very true, and it honestly worked great for Finn as it would snap him out of his intense moments and allow him to come back to himself. -One review stated Nick doesn't stay the full session length. I can't speak on this as I did the lifelong plan rather than paying per session. But, I never had an issue with shorter sessions as we based the length on Finn and what he needed that day. -His website emphasizes the use of "positive reinforcement" which is true. However, he also uses what I consider "negative reinforcement" such as water, nose tapping, collar corrections, and vocal corrections. I had no issue with this as I was NOT seeking a positive only dog trainer, but it is a bit misleading. -Nick was not great when being questioned. I wanted to understand why we were doing something and not just blindly follow. He tended to use excuses when I questioned him or state "this is how it is done". I often felt as though my questions were not fully answered or taken seriously. -Nick was often late to our sessions without any heads up, which I found extremely frustrating. However, when I made it clear I needed communication he was better at letting him know when he was running late. -I almost did not hire Nick based on his contact. My two main issues were: 1.No payment plan was available. I chose a plan which cost $10,000 and coming up with that money all upfront is extremely unrealistic for most people and is off putting. 2.There are no check-in periods or any way to hold Nick accountable. I would have appreciated every 2 months or so to have a scheduled session to sit down and go over our progress and struggles.. As the client I often did not feel seen and would have liked a formal "review" period as I was often met with excuses and denial when I brought up my issues/concerns. In the end things didn't go as we hoped with Finn, I will not go into detail regarding this as it is not relevant. Nick did not fail Finn in any way, Finn's issues were beyond anyone's help and in the end we had to do what was best for Finn himself and those around Finn as he became too dangerous. Overall, I don't regret hiring Nick as I was investing in Finn and how could I possibly regret trying all I could to save him? However, what does not sit well with me is that I invested $10,000 when we only worked together for 4 months (I didn't "spend" even half that amount in sessions), and I did not feel supported in the end. In fact, very much so the exact opposite, which is outrageous considering the circumstances.
