New Ritz restaurant, totally different vibe. The previous restaurant room felt like an elderly lady's tea room. Parallel 37 feels modern, swank and fresh... even at lunch time! Speaking of lunch, I recommend the cheeseburger and arugala salad. Not sure if I'd ever choose Ritz for dinner (unless I was staying in the hotel) but I'll be adding it as a recommended dining option for client lunches.

Keri is hands down the the best dog walker AND best service providers I've ever worked with. She's incredibly professional and communicative in every aspect, about dog walks, schedules and invoices.

Keri goes above and beyond to capture photos & videos of Max playing around during the walk and sends them during the day- it's a great addition to her reliable dog walking service.  

Additionally, Keri was incredibly extra helpful the first few months when we got Max and began the dog walking. She answered questions and offered advice on behavior and leash issues, while training Max to get to a good place. She then relayed the training tips to my husband and me so we could continue training him at home. She even wrote updates in a daily Max journal so we heard what he was working and improving on.

Keri's service extends way beyond dog walking, she's Max's best friend, #1 trainer, and an owner's dream.

Not worth going back to. Took my family here during their visit, we arrived 1 minute before our reservation - and just in time- they were about to give away our reservation for our party of five! We then sit down, having to ask for another chair, b/c the table only sat four. Fast forward 15 minutes later when we finally get someone to come over and take our drink order. I know you're busy but could  actually say the words to ask what we'd like to order instead of scowl?
The food arrived one at a time- again I know they're busy but to serve 5 people took another 20 minutes so the first person was almost done eating when the last plate arrived. Many times we received plates from other tables... so I'm pretty confident in saying they need to re-think their  process. I'm un-impressed with the food but appreciate the vegetarian options. It's not the place to take a family, and when I went with friends I did enjoy it more.
Oh, and they literally threw us the check (and said nothing) before the group was done eating. Inexcusable.

5 Stars for fixing my iPhone screen in a quick 4 hour turnaround!!
Professional, fast and friendly. I filled out the 'Express Check in' form the night before and when I came in the am, they knew who I was! Hands down the only place I'll go for computer/iPhone/iPad help! Show owner comment »

Thank you for delivering my food and not saying anything even if I order from a place 1 BLOCK AWAY. Yes, I know, it screams of pure laziness on my part. Thank you! I promise I will only order from places that are *at least* 2 blocks away going from now on :)

uh, 3.5 hrs waiting in the ER for my hubs' injury. Is that good?bad? typical? still ridiculous.
the staff was all very kind and polite but the "security guard" was hyper sensitive, managing people when he didn't need to be. he told a woman she couldn't drink water as she waited (in case she needed surgery) and told me not to put my purse on the ground? it felt more like a police station than a hospital ER.

My dog Max has been going to McLaren park at least once a week with On The Go Pet Care. I've seen videos of him playing in the pond and walking along beautiful trails. It was about time we see where he spends the best part of his day.
Two words: dog heaven! Wide open areas to run free and frolic in a pond. It's perfect for the mature dog who can handle being off- leash. I didn't see a fenced-in area, something to think about if you're furry one can't be off-leash yet. Next time, we're bringing a picnic lunch and making a day of it!

Max loves On The Go and they love him right back. As a new puppy mom I admit I was worried about making the transition from weekday doggie day care to hiring a dogwalking service. Keri (the owner) and her team couldn't have been more patient or professional- giving us so many valuable tips!

Max's regular dogwalker/girlfriend is Kristy who gives him a super workout while training him to be a better dog. It's only been a month with On The Go and we can already see such an improvement in Max's leash and recall skills.

One of the best things about Kristy & OTG is the daily written feedback about their adventures and how Max played with the other dogs. We were even emailed photos and videos the first few days which really put me at ease. Speaking of email- one of the best things about OTG is their availability and quick correspondence via email, text and phone. And it's wonderful to know if we're going to be late at work we can easily contact them and ask for a 2nd walk in the afternoon/evening (with no guilt whatsoever). OTG is awesome- I'm sure someday Max will likely love OTG more than us :)

My husband and I chose Pat and Woodfire Woodie to cater our outdoor wedding last summer. The presentation of the food truck, and the delicious, fresh pizza were hands down THE part of the wedding that our friends and family were most excited about. The food was better than I ever imagined could come from a truck, and the service from the initial meeting/taste test to the big day, was top notch. Pat was incredibly helpful- not only in selecting which pizzas would be good for our guests, but also in mentioning other supplies we didn't even know we needed! Pat turned out to be an excellent resource for our DIY wedding. I couldn't be happier with the decision of Woodfire Woodie.

I miss the old Hayes Valley space- it was bigger and easier to find trees. There's a few parking spaces in the tree lot but it's sooo crowded. I love these guys, and they're very friendly, but they really need more staff. Customers were getting really short tempered waiting for someone to help them find a tree, waiting to pay, and then waiting for their tree to be ready. A lot of waiting!!

We went the Sunday after Thanksgiving mid-day and it was a mad-house... but for the 2nd yr in a row we left with a great looking 10 ft tall tree :)

Remember it's CASH ONLY- Get there early, claim your tree, have cash ready, and wait for your tree to be cut.

Bonus points if you bring a huge plastic bag (and a truck) with you to wrap it in, to eliminate transport woes.
