Fresh Cream - CLOSED 

Category: French

5 star rating
 10/26/2009  
I don't know if this place is better than restaurants owned by Thomas Keller, Hubert Keller, Emeril Lagasse, Todd English and the like, but I'm pleased to report to the yelp community that Fresh Cream stacks up quite nicely against places like Bouchon, Ad Hoc, Fleur De Lys, Olives and Table 10.

I recommend, however, the early bird menu.  Three courses, plus soup or salad, for 35 dollars is a screaming deal in a place where most of the entrees start north of 40+ dollars!

Tried the pulled pork sandwich and thought it was just delicious - I will be back.  

More importantly, if you're in Vacaville, I know the big chain restaurants are tempting but please, please, please support the local places, I'd hate to see a great place like this get swept away during the recession.

Pizz'a Chicago

While on a conference in Santa Clara this last weekend, we went looking for a good pizza place and, thanks to yelp, we found this restaurant.  We ordered the two thumbs up, their five-cheese pizza, and quite enjoyed it.  While it wasn't Chicago Deep Dish, in the traditional sense of the phrase, it was tasty, fresh pizza with a thick cornmeal-seasoned crust that paired quite nicely with a bottle of red wine.

If you're looking for a good pizza place in Santa Clara, go here.

OK, they've now worked out the kinks and the crowds have died down, hence the edited review.  Worth a stop, yelpers.

If you are looking to build a home, and you hire Holman and associates, your home will masterfully constructed by a skilled craftsman with a methodical eye for EVERY precise detail.

Nothing will be missed and you will be less than amazed by the finished product.

Highly recommended!

This school does NOT suck because it, like any educational institution, is what people make of it.  In other words, if you go there to better yourself, either by taking a class to improve your personal skills or to transfer to UCD or CSUS, and give it your all, you will be successful.

If you register for classes, but fail to attend them, or go there looking for validation that you, at the age of 35, have finally learned the personal and professional lessons your parents were trying to teach you at the age of 16 then, well, you might be somewhat disappointed by the quality of your experience.

Free, fresh chocolate chip cookies with every sandwich...a big jar of snack sized hersey bars on the counter...tasty, fresh sandwiches that actually look and taste like sandwiches...cool posters on the wall...friendly service and a dancing pickle on the curb!

What's not to like?

PS - get the golden gate sub, so tasty!!!!!!!

Cypress Charters  

Categories: Boating, Boat Charters

5 star rating
 8/27/2009   First to Review
If you're prone to seasickness, and don't want to take the meds, this is the boat to take because the Cypress Sea is the biggest commercial dive boat in Monterey and can take on the weather like nobodies business.  They're also the only commercial boat to carry an on-board compressor and they offer the grooviest sonar pics of potential dive sites.

The trade-off for this smooth ride, however, is that fact that it will take you longer to reach Carmel Bay on smooth days than the Escapade but, hey, if you didn't like being out on the ocean, you probably won't be reading this review, will you?

Captain Phil, by the way, gives the funniest dive briefings I've ever heard in my life!

Jim Capwell is a great captain with an uncanny ability to drop anchor on some of the best dive sites in Monterey.  His boat is fast and stable in anything but the roughest seas.

More importantly, however, Capwell is a stellar human being.

If you're looking to go out on a commercial dive boat, the Escapade is a great choice.
