I’m a photographer myself but I know my limits. Newborn photography is not my forte but I knew just who was and Ashley at Sweet Bloom Photography did not disappoint. There is no one else in this area who has this quality of newborn work or even has her knowledge of what it takes. I travel to Cali, which is full of incredible newborn photographers. Sweet Bloom Photography is right up there with those photographers if not better. Such a talent!

I have gone to Thai9 now since 1998 and have to say it is the best Thai food in Dayton! The sushi is perfect too. If you want good Thai food - check them out!

This is a fantastic place to shop for turkey’s, turkey products and cheeses, breads and other delicious homemade products. Pay them a visit and tell them that Harry from Wise Choice British Foods, recommended them via Dayton Local.

I absolutely love their burgers, red robins menu, the environment. Red robins gourmet burgers are just that, gourmet. A mix of a 50’s style restaurant and modern fine dining, excellent service although weekends get pretty hectic with the weekend rush. wait times are anywhere from 5 min to 45.

I’ve been training with the GiYu dojo for two years, and I’m much better physically and mentally than when I started. It is a great environment for training, with people who care about my growth and development.
My 5 year old son started training here 10 months ago, and is much more respectful and skillful now.
If you’re thinking about martial arts training, this is the place to go.

The best tasting food I have had this year.

The Most Amazing seafood restaurant in the Miami Valley by far. Flips red lobster like a joke. The Dock Has family seating as well as an exquisite bar setting with dock theme and live entertainment this restaurant just can’t score lower than perfect.

Michael Baily of Captin Appliance is my new hero. Our refrigerator was not working properly and after a complete diagnostic first checking simple and inexpensive fixes he determined that the compressor was broken. He gave me a fair quote and came back and fixed the appliance...even threw in a fix on the dishwasher. He fixed the appliance and completely cleaned up. I wish all customer service was as thorough as his. You can call him with absolute confidence. I know who I will call in the future if I ever need another repair. All work guaranteed for 1 year. Captain Appliance is my hero.

Every special occasion growing up we had Angel’s Food Cakes. Best tasting and most creative cakes I have ever seen. They are so good I had to have her do my wedding cake and it was excellent! Highly recommend her.

Baldur or Buldar as he is found on other listings, is actually the owner of another area refinishing company. Baker Resurfacing ownership & employees have, and will continue to provide unmatched quality and professionalism to our customers. Thank You.

After searching for a photographer who had the right style I was looking for I narrowed it down to 2 choices. We decided to go with Sweet Bloom because we felt her pictures had the soft feel that I like and she also has a baby’’s 1st year plan which was also really important to my husband and I. She was a little pricier than we planned for but honestly worth every penny. We only have 1 session left in our plan for our sweet baby girl and it makes me so sad! All of these photos bring tears to my eyes and Ashley has gone above the call of duty on a several different occasions. Always flexible even though she is obviously very busy and always able to set everyone at ease. 2 of my friends have already booked sessions with her and I will continue to recommend Sweet Bloom Photography to everyone I know!

We love this place. Great food and excellent service. Prices are very reasonable. We always enjoy the experience eating at Boulevard Haus. Make sure you look around this place, they have two front patio areas and a rear enclosed patio along with two indoor eating areas and a basement eating/socializing area. I don’’t think you will be disappointed!

Innovative and exceptionally delicious food. Great service. Roost is already one of our favorite Dayton resturants.

Great place to have deliciously prepared elegant yet slightly rustic food in a casual atmosphere. Great wine list and exceptional service.

I used this service for my wedding in June and the babysitters were great! They made sure the kids were having fun, ate dinner and out of the way of the guests so they could enjoy the reception. Definitely will use them again.

Jean does a great job coordinating and offering ideas to make your special day just right. She is a professional planner and you will be glad you chose her to help plan your wedding.

Hi, I just wanted to share my experience with anyone looking out for a House Cleaning Service. I started using a so called green cleaning company. They priced lower just to get in the door, if you know what I mean. But I hired them thinking I should do my fair share for the Earth. The maids were doing an okay job, cutting corners, spending less time in my home. I didn't realize that they were driving their own beat up cars. At one time, their engine oil leaked on my driveway. I asked the company to get it cleaned or reimburse me for the cleanup. They simply declined. That made me look for another service. From the moment I called Molly Maid to their cleanings, they were very professional and customer oriented. They are reasonable in prices (I would say they were not the cheapest, but YOU GET what you pay for!) and I was able to use the coupon they run in the Rewards Magazine. I am very happy with them. I just wish I had found them earlier. Hope you find my review helpful! Thanks!

Bright Ideas Additions was wonderful to work with. They did a wonderful job and we are very happy.

I don't even know where to start. I didn't realize how precious my daughters newborn pictures would be until I just got back our 6 month photos. I already forget what it was like when she was that small. They are priceless and I can't say enough about how thankful I am to have these pictures! We will definitely be back again and again! We have already scheduled another shoot in the fall for family photos for Christmas cards!

I don't know what Rob is talking about. We had a great experience with Ashley. She is very talented and fair. That guy just must have been to cheap for what he originally booked because he is a lot tech or something like that.

This company is FANTASTIC! They set up reliable, caring babysitters with clean background checks at your event. We used them for a church conference and the kids had so much fun! Definitely a MUST have for adult type events, especially weddings.

Best steaks in Dayton. Best steak I have actually ever had (I am from Dayton, but have traveled extensively).

I shopped at this store for over 10 yrs then had to move to KY for my husbands job. We have been scheduling his business trips thru Dayton for our supplements, etc since 2009. There is NOTHING like is here and we surely miss people who can answer questions & stock!
Posted by Debra Orsborn - 7/21/2011

My husband and I were really impressed with this place. It is tucked far enough away from traffic you can enjoy eating on the deck and inside is so cozy that you feel better than at home. The food was delicious and seeing their veggies growing outside was a treat. I loved it and we are going back again and again!

I have been going to the Midwest Vein & Laser Center for over 4 years now for spider vein treatment, as well as other services. Dr. Bush and his staff are the best in my book! It is so nice to have such a specialized place in Dayton, Ohio. I have referrred all of my friends and acquaintances who have had issues with veins or want other skin related services and will continue to do so without hesitation.

I have yet to have a less than stellar meal at the Cherry House Cafe. Their Reuben is perfect... not overly greasy like others that I've had. The cozy atmosphere is ideal for conversation-filled lunch dates with friends.

This place is simply awesome! Excellent menu, great atmosphere and friendly service......can't beat it! We will be back!

Never worked with a company that was courtious and willing to help. I had restricted time to be at home and needed service. The office kept in contact with me so that I could meet with the technician and not miss too much work. The service technician was

Price was better then any other estimate. Showed up on time and finished before expected.Left my house as clean as before, very friendly and knowledgable.

This little restaurant is an absolute gem for the Gem city! It's got something to appease every eater alike, from a meat-lover to a veggie-lover! In addition to awesome food, the prices are more than reasonable and the staff is super friendly and accommodating! Feels wonderful to support a great local restaurant!

If you thought this place was good before the updates, you'll love it this summer. I have a 12 month old and a four year old. The baby pool is awesome and the new slides are perfect for my older boy. Had a great time this past weekend and will be visiting many times this summer!

I frequent Coldwater cafe for lunch and the occasional dinner with my wife.
I must say that we have always been very well received by the entire Coldwater staff
and always have a memorable meal that is very consistent. I have had one visit in which we
arrived with a large party of 8 and the staff went above & beyond to accommodate us all. We love their outdoor patio, especially this time of year! Wish they were open on Mondays!
