we stayed there recently,
and honestly, it was easily my worst experience regarding tiny portions and
terrible food quality.
From the ingredients to the prep and the flavor, everything just missed the mark.
The lamb was cold, the beef stew wasn't even close to being right, and the French dish—like someone else already mentioned—was a disaster...
The service (the speed of the servers, for instance) was actually flawless.
I don't know what they charge for a seat, but it should be waaaay lower
to justify such mediocre food.👎
It’s basically a "take it or leave it" situation; if you don't like them, I guess you just have no other options given how busy they are.

I could use some advice regarding bakeries—specifically for a wedding cake:. Location is San Francisco.
We're looking for a specific shape, which shouldn't be an issue,
but the prices are absolutely terrifying 🙂
Like, over $1.00 or $3,500 per cake-
so I reached out to some larger bakeries like Zenith.

Please, give me some tips on how to save my budget 😵

Cukarin has cakes that are twice as cheap, though the decoration isn't quite at the level of Zenith or those types of places. I don't know exactly what you're after, but I was satisfied; the cake itself was delicious and everyone raved about it..

We enjoyed about 45 minutes of dancing followed by a thirty-minute meal. It consisted of cured ham and cheese, then two varieties of risotto, beef stew, lamb with potatoes, and finally cake.

I ordered from a bakery in my neighborhood for $467 across three tiers; I didn't even bother calculating the exact amount needed because we ended up with an absolute surplus. The flavor was excellent, though the decoration was just okay. If aesthetics are your priority, Zenit, San Francisco Cakes, and a few others do fantastic work, though you'll pay a premium for it. Even compared to standard bakeries, you're looking at prices upwards of $1,300. We had 185 guests, and as it turned out, there was more than enough cake to go around, just like all the other treats.😉

Also, has anyone ordered a wedding cake out in the suburbs? If you have, are the prices pretty standard or do they charge a huge premium for being out there?

Have you checked out Lumen Shop on Facebook? I placed an order there for $1.25

Walmart (Target)

Does anyone have any recommendations for hair stylists in San Francisco who can actually pull off a decent fade? Thanks.

Greetings.
Has anyone attended a wedding at either the Hilton or through their legal counsel recently?
I am curious about your general impressions regarding the catering, the lighting, and the overall ambiance.
Thank you.
