Re: “Douglas Education Center”
DEC is the best! The stuff I've done since I've been here has been...
AMAZING... I can't say that enough. I'm in Tom Savini's Special Make-Up
Effects Program and I've done everything from eyes and teeth to
animatronics and fashion performance make-up. I've worked with my
friends in The Factory Digital Filmmaking Program on some of the biggest
and best Final Products in recent years!!! Seriously... Some KILLER SHIT...
I can't imagine going anywhere else and learning and much or having the experiences that I've had here... Anyone who runs their mouth and has negative stuff to say (guy/girl a
couple below) hasn't put the time in or discipline to really shut that shit down and
go for their dreams. Bunch of sick rumors from people who are jokes
themselves.
Re: “The Parkway Theater”
The spaghetti dinner western was great. A very avant garde experience.
Re: “Perle Champagne Bar”
been there 4 times and had a wonderful times with friends. the first time we tried an assortment of tapas and with each bit i wa like "oh my God" it was that good. the delicate fusuin of flafors were a treat indeed. I always let the handsome manager sugest a cocktail and i haven't been disappointed. An enjoyable relaxing 4 hours just breezes by. I tend to avoid crowds so i haven't gone on a weekend night when there's entertainment. I'll have to try that. when we went there was nice music in the background that wasn't so loud that you couldn't enjoy good conversation with your friends. the last time wejust met friends for a drink and the manager sugested Velozi's for dinner. He actually walked us over, procured us the best table for six and introduced us to the owner. what an evening of great company great coctails and great food.
Re: “Saga, Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi Bar”
Horrific Behavior By Staff - DO NOT GO - PEOPLE WALKED OUT THEY WERE SO APPALLED
Came in with a friend who lives 3 hours away and we asked the hostess if we could both use Groupons. She told us yes, and I asked...even if we are at the same table, and she said yes again then my friend purchased one. When we got to the back they said we could not use it since we walked in together. They said the hostess was new and it was her first day. (even if it was true...which I doubt...they shouldn't have her own her own if she isn't trained...she represents the business). When I tried to explain that they needed to honor what they told us up front, they got rude. I asked to speak to a manager and was told there wasn't anyone there (on a Saturday night...right!). The waiter printed the Groupon rules which said one per group and insisted that since we walked in together we were only eligible for one at the same table. So I said fine..my mom and I will go to another table, so we got up, got back in line and were seated at another table. We figured that would be the end of it but hear them yelling at my friend across the room. The woman got in his face and told him to leave. I started to head over to see what was happening and the other folks at the table got up and left and told them they did not like how they were treating us and said they were taking their business elsewhere. I told everyone I was done too and was preparing to leave when the woman that was in my friends face finally said she would call her supervisor for an exception then seconds later (super fast call to explain everything that happened) said she would make as exception because she didnt want us to post anything negative on the Internet. Ummm...TOO LATE! You do not behave that way to paying customers, especially in front of a 10 year old child that was with us! If your hostess didnt tell us that two groupons were ok, my friend would have never purchased. The fact that we asked that you honor your word and you turn rude and nasty and get in our faces in front of a child is totally unacceptable! I was trying to take my mother out for a nice dinner and you completely ruined our experience. You should be ashamed and embarrassed as a business. We will never be back and have already started telling everyone as know what happened so they never go either.
Re: “Twisted Thistle”
Lovely atmosphere, just what we needed in our area. Wonderful to
local and have this caliber of dining experience without trotting to the
"burgh" with all of it's baggage and disappointing dining experience.
Kudo's to you Linda and staff. Absolutely wonderful gastronomic experience and atmosphere
Re: “The R Bar”
Soul Village has graced the R Bar with their talent. Sugar Ray and his excelent musicians were fantastic along with resident artist sitting in. As usual the staff and owners make everyone more than welcome
Re: “El Campesino”
Food is ok, service is very slow & wait staff not attentive. Had to sit for 20 minutes waiting for a drink while the server ate his dinner. No wonder the place was a ghost town during the "dinner rush." Will not go back.

Re: “Jimmy Wan's”
OVER PRICED AND MASS PRODUCED
We had a bad experience at Jimmy Wan's restaurant at Freeport Rd. It was like eating at a fast food restaurant. They took our order and immediately brought the food to the table before we got our drinks. It was a 15 minute meal. We complained to the owners. They were not concerned and never apologized for the bad service. The food here is MASS PRODUCED. The food is already prepared; that is why they bring it right away to the table. It is also overpriced. We won't go back.

Re: “Linden Grove”
The Linden Grove is a great nightclub!! There is always great music for dancing. On Thursday nights, it is oldies night with DJ Bugger which is great for the older folks to come out and dance. Friday nights they always have really great live bands. The bands are lots of fun and very entertaining, well worth the price of admission!! Saturday nights they have a great DJ who plays 80s, 90s and current day dance music. There's a great mix of people and it's a fun atmosphere. I love this place!!
Re: “Frick Art & Historical Center”
My family have enjoyed so many spectacular events and enjoyed
the serenity and alive historic nature of the Frick history,
cafe and flower gardens!
Re: “Veltri Fitness”
I completely disagree with the previous poster on most points. Yes, the gym isn't the cleanest place ever, and yes, some of the machines are frequently broken, but it's a cheap monthly rate and everyone who works the desk is great! And the owner is absolutely amazing! I was also a member at the old location and he was always kind and willing to help with any workout questions. When my husband and I joined at the new location recently, the man working the desk made us some complimentary protein shakes and they were yum! We love it here!
Re: “Butler YMCA”
The butler YMCA. One of the worst YMCA's in America. The staff was verry friendly and nice. The pools were terrible very dirty and salty. The pool being with a greenish tint lead me to believe there was something wrong with the filter or just neglect to keep the water sanitary. The hot tub was so potent with chemicals it burnt my skin and felt like acid. Avoid this one...
Re: “Bar Room Pittsburgh”
Perfect place for all the wanna be Jersey Shore douchebags. Overpriced watered down drinks.
Re: “Skinny Pete's Kitchen”

Re: “30Bar”
Went there with my girlfriend.. A few couples, maybe 3 single women and a TON of single guys. They let in whomever wants to pay admission. They should really limit the amount of single men but it doesnt seem as if they ever will
Re: “Club Colony”
Great value and taste!! Four happy diners that danced all night to the Groove Doctors last Saturday.
