An absolute pleasure to get a haircut here. I've been looking for a great barber for a while and Raymond's was the ticket. No matter who cuts your hair (Javier cut mine), it's detailed and thorough.

I also had a single blade shave by Javier and it was great. From the hot towels before and after to the warm shave cream, it was top shelf.

A great cut and shave for a great price. I think I just found my new barber.

Okay, I've finally put this review up.

Preface: My friends and I actually came here late 2009.

This was my first time there. The interior was great and the ambience was wonderful. I called in advance to put my name on the wait list for my friends and I. When we got there we were seated immediately.

The food, however, was 'meh'. It was a rather new restaurant when my friends and I went, so the quality may have improved since.

I had the Scallops with Leeks and Potatoes, which was rather nice.

My destination for feeding my Lumpia cravings. They offer both vegetable and shanghai Lumpia. Cheap and good. 'Nuff said.

Great food. Great prices. Big portions. They don't serve coffee and they don't serve dessert. The Calamari is always a gold standard for a starter. Honestly, no matter what you get, your tummy will be happy.

This place always delivers! Using fresh, sustainably grown ingredients from local farms, Street offers superb meals every time I go in. My girlfriend and I love this place. The ambiance is great and it's always busy. To start, I'd recommend the Pork & Shrimp Wontons or the Calamari. Those are the only ones I've tried and are delicious. For the mains I'd say the freshly ground sirloin burger is always satisfying. The NY Strip Steak with the Gorgonzola butter is great as well. Top off the meal with any of their Port wines.

My favorite: the regular glaze donut. It's what a donut should taste like. The moment you break it apart and see it's doughy, soft texture, that's when you know it's going to be amazing. Nuke it for a few seconds, down it with milk and you've got a tasty treat - breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Loved this place! I'm a nerd when it comes to restaurants using seasonal, organic ingredients and I have to say, this place is a great example of that! The ambiance is wonderful. My girlfriend and I ate here and it was a great experience. The interior plays on a modern, minimal, industrial look (hence the name "Conduit"). So, if you're a fan of interior design (or design in general), you'll love this place. The food was excellent in my opinion and the presentation is solid. It's a great place to eat with that special someone, or with a group.

2 out of 5 "mehs". I had the Lobster Tortellini to start. It wasn't that great. Then I had the Scallops with Risotto for the main. It wasn't that great, either. They also got my friend's Niman Burger order wrong two times. He asked for his burger medium rare, but got his burger well done both times. It's a bit overpriced for the food caliber in my opinion. Maybe I just ate there on an off night, who knows.

The ambiance is great, don't get me wrong. It's a great date venue. The wait service was excellent as well. There's just something not quite right with the kitchen team.

Best tattoo experience I've ever had! The shop is very well kept and inviting. Nervio was my tattoo artist and he is excellent! He's done three of the five tattoos that I have. He's extremely nice,  well versed in many tattoo styles, and displays a precision like no one's business. I would highly recommend Diamond Club and Nervio to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
