The drink menu was awesome. Creative combos but also very good. They also have a full bar of the ones listed don't hit the spot for you. It's an intimate settling with limited tables. You are definitely encouraged to sit back and enjoy the food and company as you listen to the piano player. It was a great dining experience for sure. If drinks and vibe are what you are looking for this is the place.

A new spot in the Watertown night scene, several friends suggested it would be the kind of place I…read morewould enjoy, considering my jazz background. I found myself with a hole in my social calendar one Thursday night the second week they were open, and decided to see what the buzz was all about. Their website and facebook page suggested to "dress to impress", so I dug out one of my bespoke Italian suits and found the perfect silk tie to match (lots of orange, because it was nearly Halloween) and hopped in the car to arrive early enough for the first show (they have two shows per night, 7pm and 9pm, both roughly 90 minutes). Picturing a bar-full of women in swanky gowns and men attired similarly to me, I was disappointed in finding out that substituting heels for sneakers with jeans was the norm for women, and throwing on a blazer over jeans was the standard for men. This is more a reflection of the area, than the business, and there were some couples who took this suggestion seriously, with some people dressed to the nines. The inside is gorgeous, with the lounge area filled with comfortable-looking seating areas, and a couple of tables for diners (not a lot of those, however). Paintings of legendary singers lined the walls. The bar area is sparsely decorated, and a bit too starkly lit for my taste, picturing the smoky jazz joints of my misspent youth. Lots of stools, and a beautiful stone bar top completed the look. I found a seat at the bar, and ordered a martini. No Stolichnaya available (except for raspberry) so I settled for Grey Goose instead. It was perfectly mixed, and I awaited for the piano show to begin. As they were new and starting to fill their entertainment ranks, that night they had a pianist who was auditioning. He was acceptable, with a decent voice, but lacked a lot of the spark of other performers I've seen. I have to go back another night to hear some of their other performers they have lined up. There's a menu of small plates that will fit nicely with cocktails, which is the main attraction there, with a list of seasonal offerings. Since I had already eaten, I didn't order any food, but what I saw presented to others looked good. Something for my next trip. All in all, this is someplace I will probably frequent, since it's close by, and in time, I'm sure the concept will catch on and become very popular. I'd suggest giving 88Keys a try for a special date night, or someplace to go if you're looking for a different vibe than the other entertainment venues in the area.

Phoenix is a small, delightfully welcoming community theater operation. They present a variety of…read moreshows during their season -- mysteries, comedies, drama -- with casts of surprising high quality. The interior is small, seating about 70 people surrounding the stage on three sides. The seats are raked, so views are good just about everywhere. The staff couldn't be friendlier, and they offer boxes of popcorn free to playgoers. Drinks and candies are inexpensive, so you won't spend much money on extras. There are lots of good, enterprising theater companies in northwest Connecticut, and Phoenix is certainly among them.

Awful awful awful. I went to Joyce for a perm and she didn't listen to me at all. I asked for…read morebigger looser curls and she gave me a super tight spiral perm straight out of the 80s. If that wasn't bad enough she was extreme unprofessional during the service. She was talking poorly about Hispanics, about drugs, wanting to force her religion on others. I told her about my daughter with autism and so she started telling stories about the "retards she worked with a the training school", her words not mine. I called to talk to the owner Loraine the following day about getting my money back and she apologized and requested I give it time to relax and then come in which I did willingly. When I went back to told her i was still unhappy she tried to recut it to see if it helped. It didn't. She got visibly upset when i said i still wanted my money back because it's not what I wanted. She said "it doesn't look THAT bad" but because Joyce is an independent contractor she would have to get the money back from her but she didn't. I called Joyce myself to get my money back and she refused because she "performed the service". Never going back. Very unprofessional and rude. Also it wreaks of cigarette inside.

I brought in a simple job for him, which cost significantly more than the item I had framed, I'll even go so far as to call it a ripoff. He sucked at returning calls, (taking so much as two days) and when I finally went in on a Saturday morning to pick my item up, I waited outside for him with other customers. The advertised hours on Saturdays are 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. I got there at 8:50 and didn't see him to come in and open the doors till almost 10. This was also right around Valentine's Day, and when I spoke to him [after he FINALLY returned my call], he said he was closing an hour early to take his wife out. If I had not spoken to him on the phone, I would have had no way of knowing this. Overpriced, piss poor customer service. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.
