Great service. I called yesterday morning to see if River City Piano could move a piano from West Sac to Rancho Cordova, same day. Done and done. River City Piano moved the piano in the time frame I needed, for $175, which I happily paid. Professional operation, and Robert was able to give me a referral to a local tuner.

LOVE Dr. Miyamura and her staff.

i've been going to her for a couple of years now, and am extremely happy with the good doctor's services - contacts, good selection of frames, follow-up, etc.. And - the staff always remember the patients and genuinely care about the patients' well-being - over a year ago my husband visited the office for a eye burn, and i'm still getting asked about how he is when i visit).

not sure about all of the insurances that this office accepts, but they definitely take VSP. worth a shot if you're looking for a great eye doctor.

Dr. Luke is pretty awesome. He is very friendly, straght-talking, will discuss all possibilities and concerns - exactly what I like in a doctor =)

I highly recommend Dr. Luke for anyone looking for a UCDMC doctor in the Rancho Cordova area.  The missing star comes more from the set-up of the practice (e.g. very busy, sometimes difficult to get appointments) rather than the doctor himself..

AMAZING new (ish) winery in Plymouth.

my parents and i made our way to Andis after Dobra (LOVE) and Driven (not so much).. we were pleasantly surprised / impressed with the winery, both how it looks and feels, and the wines (yummy)..

the sauvignon blanc and rose are stand-out wines... I personally wasn't a big fan of the "painted fields" blend (a bit tannin-y for my taste), but everything else was fantastic.

good price point (wines from $15 up), good atmosphere, great wines. we'll DEFINITELY be going back =)

gorgeous theatre -- pristine, new, extra-comfy seats.

good selection of movies, standard prices (2 tickets for $15 for a weekend matinee).

will definitely be coming back here! missing a star solely because i can't speak to the food/drink...

decent lunch place =)

1 item lunch special is a great deal - i'm a huge fan of the mini-taco-salad w/ whole beans. filling, tasty, and not so intimidating as the normal taco salad behemoths.

also: i recommend asking for the pico de gallo in addition to the normal table salsa - fresh and light, and great on the thick ol' chips they serve there.

Thai Jasmine and Sushi Bar

what is the saying? someone that does more than one thing isn't an expert in any of them? (or something like that)

the hubby and i came on a tuesday night after the gym, lured by the promise of buy 1 get 1 sushi rolls.

not worth it. i had the naked roll, he had the hole in 1 roll (?) i think.. both involved some element of spicy tuna that was not spicy and did not resemble normal tuna, just a mushy conglomeration of fish.

we did finish our rolls, cause we like to eat and we were hungry, and we didn't get sick or anything, but we definitely won't be going back.  

hopefully they're better at thai than they are at sushi. to give their credit, they did have a yummy house salad and decent service.

botan, i'm sorry we betrayed you. we'll be coming home soon.

decidedly average.

but perhaps, we ordered wrong.. excited by "different" items than normally found on a mexican menu, we ordered 1) bbq chicken tacos for the hubby, and 2) tofu tacos for me.

bbq chicken tacos apparently tasted like . . . bbq chicken, and the tofu tacos tasted like . . . not much. meh.

decent chips and pico though, and the hubby was VERY excited about $1.50 negro modelo on tap.

i heart donner ski ranch.

donner has EVERYTHING for the beginner-to-intermediate snowboarder, i.e., me. i can't speak to other levels... but, for me, plenty of runs / lifts, good snow, and the best thing of all -- NO BIG CROWDS.

we boarded this last saturday during a 3-day weekend, and the price remained the same as usual ($42 for a weekend lift ticket), and there were no extra crowds even with the busy weekend! love it.

the bar is also handy and well-stocked (ahem, tia maria!), and the cafeteria has a good selection of lunch-time treats. only caveat to the last point is that the cafeteria is rammed at lunch time - eat at an off time, or bring your own...

okay...

a large vegetarian pizza and a large meat combo pizza for a total of $50 (including tip), with an hour delivery time? the pizza should have been better.

next time we're in tahoe, we'll be doing take-n-bake from safeway.
