Bella "I Miss Bandi-San" B.'s Profile

A nice place to stop in on a sunny day, have a few drinks (they have my Macallan 12 and 25! woohoo) and some antipasto while watching a game or just chatting up Mike (the bartender who is really nice!). I look forward to enjoying a full meal from them in the near future, the staff  there is top notch in my opion.

And player parking in front for $9 haha yeah it was a good day!

I went to the Old Krakow tonight and I have to say I really enjoyed it! My friend has been trying to drag me into the place for months so today I finally went in and there was only 2 other couples in the place (which was nice - and quiet) and we were greeted and sat almost immediately. Our server was super nice and when I asked about having the crepes (sweet cheese) she informed me that it is "very sweet and more for dessert" which I was like ok, let's do the mushroom one then. I kind of wondered what the point was of having it on the starters menu if it was more dessert, but whatever.

So let's see....

Bread: Very yummy, warm, fresh.
Water: tap, but not horrible (like some places, you can taste the chlorine!)
Crepes: Really GOOD! I was amazed! Their mushroom sauce & sour cream made it even better!

On to the main course.....
I had the polish sausage: It was killer! Authentic and I loved the mustard too.
I had a bite of my friends dish which was the cutlet, I found it to be way too close to cordon bleu which I am not a huge fan of, so I have to give that a "meh, I've had better" but my grub was great! Yay!

Overall I was too full (that damn bread, I knew it would do me in, but I was hungry LOL) to have any dessert so maybe next time. I will say even though I really loved the food, within like 15min of placing our order the place was nearly packed and extremely loud! Like OMFG it's loud in here!
I will return and try some of the other dishes so for now 4 stars.

Good burgers, decent fries, not so great breakfast! I haven't been in a while but I totally agree with Jessica, they are great for that late night fix and they do have killer shakes!

I love this place. Been there a few times years ago and then again last week - same great food. The hash is "ok" but the eggs benny is great (though you have to request it!), overall I say 4 stars, they could be better but they are pretty decent overall. I recommend and will return!

Went there today and had the mushroom soup (meh) and the shrimp salad. The service is decent but the food is just ok. I probably won't go there again but it was good for a 1 time run. The bread is fresh and was really tasty. My main complaint was that not even 2hrs later I was hungry!

Blah

They have way more selection than the Daly City Safeway but they make some of the crappiest sandwiches ever! Also some of the cashiers were super rude and really needed to get a grip. I thought I had 15 items I had 16 (wow!) and she pretty much went off on me...lol Whatever, overall I give them 4 stars cause they do have way more (better) produce and meat/fish than the other Safeway.

I had a cut with Elenie, she really is amazing. I had not had a pro cut in years (I have curly hair and don't want to walk out looking like a mop head so I avoided getting a full on "hair cut" and just did my own trims) and since I was going to a wedding I wanted to finally go for a full cut. Thanks to Yelp I found Elenie For Hair.

I walked in and was instantly at ease, not sure how to describe it but she makes you feel super comfortable and I knew I was in good hands and had made the right choice (thanks yelp!). Since I was the 1st in the door, I had her all to myself and I must say she is very sweet, easy to talk to and OMG she really does listen to her clients.

I didn't want to take too much off, maybe 2 inches. I wanted some volume and wanted my hair to be blown out and straight with some curls, she washed my hair and did a deep condition, which really did wonders even now almost a week later! We chatted about my hair as she shampooed and conditioned me, then it was back to the chair for my cut. This is where I got freaked out because I thought "ok, maybe she is going to cut way too much off" but guess what yelpers, she didn't! She did exactly what I asked for and made my "cut" just look like a better version of my own look. Amazing work!

The end result was perfect and I walked out wondering how I ever let so many years go by without getting this done. I promised her I would be back and trust me I WILL!

As stated, this hotel is "ok"
Booked with points for 2 nights. Check-in was a breeze, got into the room, it was nice. Bed was ok, not "heavely" but not bad either (I am just spoiled). There was a huge lounge in the room which was comfortable. The minibar was stocked as was the goodie bar :) Not really a location that has a view, but on the 9th floor, I had a view of the airport, outside of the hotel and part of L.A.

The bathroom was clean but the hair dryer was filthy, I did not even want to pick it up. I have the same model, and just used mine. Thank God I brought it with me. I had to request more shampoo, conditioner etc. And there are no toothbrushes, toothpaste or QTips, so come prepared or be prepared to ask and possibly pay for them. The shower was nice, no bathrobes so I called for em to be brought up.

The food: Ok, some of the food is crap. Like the calamari, it is crap. The whole "sauce" they paired this over-battered (which they use cornmeal breading, which is horrid) critter with was pretty much like a tomato soup. It was really bad. The burgers are ok, but the high point for me would have to be the Cobb Salad. It is amazing. I have been to this location before and honestly in almost 2yrs that has not changed one bit.
The food is way overpriced, but hey it's a hotel. It's where they get ya!
Their breakfast was nice, the continental delux is decent, love their pastry. Coffee is Starbucks and they do provide it inroom for free, so save your money if you want coffee and just use the freebies instead of ordering a pot, cause you get about the same amount.

Check-out was just as easy as check-in. And that's the end my friends.

Went to this hotel for a wedding and had a great time. The food was ok. The lounge was nice, the room we had was large and opened to the outside deck which was a great touch, easy to access and the staff was very friendly. The women's restroom had one downside, the handicap bathroom was hard to find since it was not marked (this can be hard for those who have a hard time getting around or can't see well) so that was a downside. My only other low point goes to the lounge singer/piano player - OMG he sucked so hard.

I would go there again for sure, would love to have stayed there to report on the rooms or spa, but for now my 4 stars goes to the hotel itself and staff.

They always have what I need (Checks & Balances face wash, United States toner) and always give me samples to try. They are friendly and that is a HUGE plus. Never had them do my makeup or any demos, I know what I want and go right for it :)
