My experience was simply UNPROFESSIONAL... At first, I received a formal text confirming a trial…read moreclass for my daughter for Saturday at 10am, I confirmed back saying great see you then! When we arrived there was no one to greet us and we had to ask around the building about any contact for DEA... we were able to speak to the owner of Eye Level who is located downstairs and he was very helpful and was apologetic about our appointment not being met. The owner of Eye Level said the owner wasn't answering her cell phone or the office line therefore he wasn't sure what to do but apologize... I left expecting an apologetic call from anyone at DEA, instead I get a TEXT about A FEW DAYS LATER saying they were it was for another Saturday and they didn't confirm the date. NO SORRY was included in that text. I forgave the situation as I know life throws us lemons and said ok no problem and rescheduled the trial for the following Thursday evening.... My daughter was welcomed formally and the instructor even let me other two younger sons in the trial class with them which I loved. Afterwards there was again no one to speak with about what the trial was about, I had to go to the receptionist and ask all the questions and mainly see if there was any selling information for me to try to get my children into any of the performing arts programs... The receptionist "Francesca" at first didn't want me to take the registration paper home to consider enrolling my children, I had to ask for a pen/pencil, then let she let me keep the paper and had me write all the pricing and then said I can think about it and she would call me in 1-2 days to follow-up. Well, it's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything. I liked the school atmosphere however the front office service was very unaccommodating for any person who wanted to generally inquire about the school. There were no printed marketing materials for take-home and no follow-up calls. I was considering sending my daughter to this school and even my son because I liked the benefit of working with children in regards to performing arts however for the price and the lack of organization I'd rather look into other options.

I don't drink but I was able to order one of my favorite non-alcoholic drink: Shirley Temple and they did a beautiful job creating it. Surprisingly, bars do not know how to make a good Shirley Temple - They don't put enough grenadine but here they added plenty of grenadine and many cherries. Yum! Their bestseller drink was pale translucent sparkly pink served in a martini glass that looked so lovely - Even though I don't drink, I do appreciate the artistry that is involved in making this one. I came here with a group of friends for a painting party and upon arrival, we were welcomed with open arms. Everything was already set up with blank canvas, easel, paintbrushes, water and paint colors of pink, red, green, white, blue, black & brown. The painting for the evening was really pretty - It had a path with bright pink flowers on the side, green opening, blue sky, trees and moss. Our instructor was wonderful... He went step by step and was patient, funny and talented. He did a great job describing what colors we were to mix or use and what type of method to use for painting different parts. He answered all questions we had and helped individually where needed. As a result, I think my painting turned out pretty good! There are snacks available for purchase but the place also allows outside food so that was great... We munched on chips throughout and enjoyed my friend's birthday cupcakes during the break. I had a wonderful evening and am happy with my painting but I probably wouldn't go back because it's all the way in Staten Island so it would probably be easiest to go by car.
