Ummm, Juliet, so why DON'T you recommend them?

(Pretty please?)

ETA: Oh I see. Because of the limitations of this thread. Well, we'll do something about that.

I went to Xai Xai on W. 51st one winter. The place was hot as fuck from the radiators and they kept the red wine out. No temperature control at all. Yech! I cannot recommend, unless you show up on a day that the place is cool.
