Cleonice Mediterranean Bistro

I wish this place was in Connecticut. I have actually gone here from Ct just for a Wine diiner. Everything about this place is great. Its clean, the staff is friendly,and its different. When you walk in there is a long bar that leads to the kitchen with a few seats behind you. They give you a listof food items with a pencil. You check off the food you want to buy. Its a Mediteranian place and they have great wine dinners. We went to game night they had game dinner with all different wines from france, Italy to South Africa. Theres not a thing i dont like about the place other then it being so far from me. If you are in the area check it out. You wont regret it.

Valley Discount Wine & Liquor

I love this place. they have a huge selection of Wine. They will special order for you. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. if you are looking for a nice wine but don't know how to pick it . They will help you choose and explain why its better than others. Or try to get a idea of the event so they can suggest what to bring. The prices are fair and there is no pressure to buy.

PROS: great suggestions
CONS:

Captain's Gallery

This place used to be awesome. but the quality in food went down hill. The portions were still big last time I went but what's the point if the foods not good.

Pizza Balis

Great pizza. Used to be cheaper with better deals. The Pizza has improved alot, it used to be just ok. I guess the better the pizza the more expensive it gets. The staff is friendly and will take requests and accepts constructive critisism. we gave them a idea for a pizza and the kept bringing it over to our house to see what we thought. When you know a place cares that much about their food and their customers you keep going :O)

PROS:
CONS: expensive

Trader Joe's

My boyfriend and i shop here once a month sometimes more. This store has a lot of quality frozen food items that come in handy when you want to make a quick meal that's still good, or want to impress your last minute guests with some great appetizers or desserts. Its also fun for a appetizer dinner night or football season. The bruchetta sauce is great and the frozen stuffed ravioli is very convenient. Its not very expensive but doesnt have all the needs you would get at a regular grocery store.

Mild To Wild Automotive

A friend of ours recommended us to this mechanic when we were having problems with the people at the infiniti dealership. I wanted a place that is trustworthy because my car was expensive and was already ruined by the dealership. They were very professional and squeezed us in for a oil change because they knew it was our first time there. It was very expensive ant they were very careful and respectful. I plan on going there for the rest of my oil changes and future car needs.

PROS: proffesional and reasonable
CONS:

Hair Illustrations Studio

I made the mistake of bringing my sister here to get her hair done for her prom. Lets just say there was alot of crying. I drove about 100mph to my friend who was in hairdressing school cause anything would have been better then the knot on her head, and saved the day. I wouldnt suggest going there.

PROS: theres chinese next door
CONS: lots of crying

Taqueria Mexicana

Very small mexican restraunt. The menu is not in english but some of the cooks speak english. Marco the owner will make you what you like if you ask. Dont judge the place by the look cause its definatley not pretty. but if you want real mexican food thats the place to go. You can also find Marco cooking at the Hibatchi tables at Hayama in Orange.

PROS: Real mexican food
CONS: Run down building

Exotic Fish & Corals

The store has a decent selection of saltwater fish. the tanks always look clean as well as the rest of the bldg. The small staff seems to be very knowledgeable. My only complaints are that i have made special orders there for lights and a new lid for my tank at least 5 times and they always forget. I would take the trip over to the post road when they said they would have it only to find out the order was never placed. if it was once or twice i would be forgiving. However if you are going there for fish its nice place. They are expensive. But I have never had a fish die from them.

PROS: Clean Tanks, Healthy Fish
CONS: Expensive, (but u get what you pay for) and Forgetful on orders

Sage American Bar & Grill

I actually like the appetizers better than the entrees and they are cheaper. im not to shy about spending $ dont get me wrong. The dinners are good but there are places i would rather go for dinner. the view is nice not great you have to look past the sewage plant lol but its not bad at all. The service is good and its
