If you are a fan of desserts, welcome to the big dance.  The wait only intensifies the anticipation while gawking over deliciously appetizing desserts under glass.

Great late night spot for an after dinner indulgence!

I can understand why this place has such a strong cult following.  It would have to since my visit wasn't spectacular yet people still love this place.

The pizza looked as if it has promise although ours came out totally burnt.  It's definitely not the cleanest of restaurants but does fit the moniker "dive".

If you're a fan of Diner's, Drive-In's and Dives like I am and still want to give it a go; get 2 slices to go and check this off your to-eat list.

New Life Automotive

My first experience with New Life automotive was a complete detail that included some paint work for my 2004 RAM.  Honestly the finished product was better than when I took delivery from the dealer 4 years ago.  I even scored points with my boss who kept asking me "how they got those rims looking like mirrors".

My wife was so jealous I had to take her old Subaru for a detail and bodywork with the same result.

These guys deliver a very high quality product for a reasonable fee.  You deal with the owner directly and when he's not around he has people working for him that know what they are doing.

I can't recommend these guys highly enough.  If you want better than new, this is the place.

Usually going to see a doctor of any sort is a real drag, not so at the office of Dr. Kleinberg at Tustin Market Place Optometry.   He delivers his insightful recommendations and direction about the quality of my eyes and vision in a thorough yet relaxed manner.  I definitely enjoy my time there and wish that all of my doctor visits were this enjoyable.  

I can't recommend Dr. Kleinberg more highly.

This place has great greasy pizza written all over it so maybe my expectations were a little too high.  The big culprit is the sauce, a little too spicy to drown out all of the other toppings.  Still having a separate room devoted to video games a big plus!

Local lobster = Best lobster ever!

When this is in season it's reasonable ~$16 for lunch ~$25 for dinner and tastes fabulous!  

Only thing keeping it from a 5 are the limited choice of sides but heck, double romano potatoes it is...

Bozanna's  

Category: Pizza

5 star rating

This is hands-down the best pizza you will ever eat in your life!

Growing up in Buffalo you become quite the food aficionado.  Any place where you're inside 9 months of the year tells you there's going to be good eatin'!

Whenever I travel a new town, I always try the local pizza.  The problem is once you've had Bozanna's, you'll always use them as the benchmark, and I've never found better.

The crust, sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni; it's all there.  They have the freshest ingredients, quality/quantity of toppings and that Buffalo water to achieve a perfect crust.

Just try it, you will not be disappointed.

This is my favorite place for lunch.  There are many sushi places nowadays but the quality keeps me coming back.  I love that the cut rolls are in bite size pieces!  That's a trend I wish would catch on...

My wife and I just stopped in on a lark this past Saturday and I can honestly say we were both pleasantly surprised.  This is a great place especially on a sunny CA day.  I love that the windows open up so the entire restaurant feels like it's outside.  Although that's not too hard since it's small but that just adds to the coziness.

I saw "Pulled Pork Omelette" and couldn't pass it up.  It's a fantastic blend of flavor and texture served with roasted potatoes.  Top it off with and iced tea and I was golden.

We plan on going back for lunch again soon!

My wife and I love eating at the "local" place versus the chain restaurants.  Charming ambiance, local patrons and good eats make this a welcome destination for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

On any given day you'll see a the entire spectrum of the local community.  Girls in their pajamas after a sleepover, people arriving after church services and bachelors happy someone else is cooking for them.

It's a real treasure that probably won't be there forever, so when you're driving by on the 55 stop in, you'll be glad you did.
