Romano's Macaroni Grill  

Category: Italian
Neighborhood: Chula Vista

5 star rating

Went here for the first time with my husband and was greeted by a friendly hostess who seated us within 5 minutes of walking in the door.

Our waiter, Chris, was very friendly and showed us the ropes as my husband and I mentioned that we were new to Macaroni Grill. The restaurant offers guests a bottle of red wine for their table which is $4 per glass and believe me - it was definitely good. They also have this white butcher paper placed on top of the table for reasons I still don't understand but my husband and I had a great time drawing on. :)

When it was time to place our order, we started off with their stuffed mushroom which were divine. Very tasty and a great starter for the night. We then shared a ceasar salad which was also great but the best appetizer had to be the tomotao basil tortellini soup - hands down, the best I've ever had. I'm a big fan of Panera's tomator basil soup but Macaroni Grill's soup was unbelievably tasty. The next time I'm sick at home and in need of comfort food, I'm sending hubby here first for some more of that soup.

As for our entrees, I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp Speidini and my husband got the Lambchop Spedini; both awesome dishes and very filling. We couldn't even finish them and had to have Chris box them so we could save room for some Tiramasu which was a great way to end our meal.

Overall, the restaurant had a great ambiance and our waiter was awesome. We'll definitely be heading back here.

Studio 600

Neighborhood: Chula Vista

I'm usually very picky about where I go to get my nails done and who I should go to for an eyebrow wax so when I headed over to Studio 600 I knew I was taking a chance.

I came in on a Saturday morning and the staff was able to accommodate me without having me wait. I got my eyebrows waxed in less than 10 minutes; pretty simple, I was in and out. Afterwards, I got a full set and a pedicure. The team that worked with me was very polite and the ambiance inside the salon was nice. They have a huge plasma tv that you can view while getting your pedicure.

After all my services was completed I decided to pay in cash and the cashier said that by paying in cash I would save x% on my services - I think it was 20% but since I don't remember the exact number don't quote me on it. Be sure to ask if you can save by paying in cash.

Overall, it was a great experience. Quick service and the total cost was roughly $15 cheaper than the usual place I go to.

Great food and excellent service. Love the live music that they have on the weekends and the fire pits outside.

Otay Ranch Town Center  

Category: Shopping Centers
Neighborhood: Chula Vista

5 star rating
 11/21/2009  
Otay Ranch Town Center has plenty of great restaurants to dine out like the Cheesecake Factory, King's Fish House, Macaroni Grill, Nico's Steakhouse, & Sushiya. Aside from the restaurants, Otay Ranch Town Center also offers a variety of shops. It seems like other Yelpers are fond of the H&M but there are other great shops such as Ann Taylor Loft, Sephora, Anthropologie, and Banana Republic.

My husband and I have even gone to Imagina the furniture store across from Banana Republic - that place has all of their items on sale with 40% off. Great selection and awesome customer service.

In addition to the plethora of restaurants and shops, Otay Ranch also has plenty of events (i.e live music, etc.). In November they host the Santa Parade and tree lighting which makes it a great event for families in the community.

Overall, this mall has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment and is definitely a gem for those of us that don't like to drive up to Fashion Valley. So for folks that live up north and complain that Otay Ranch is too far, you knew that from the start BEFORE you went on the freeway.

Infante Rafael DDS

Neighborhood: South Bay Terraces

I was referred to Dr. Infante by my sister after having a horrible experience with at Dr. Katnik's office in Mira Mesa. This review is based on my first experience at their office.

Dr. Infante, Jessica (the admin), and the rest of the staff at the office we're all very kind and charming. They would strike up conversations with you to set you at ease and always had a smile on their face.

I would say that Dr. Infante spent at least 30 mins. with me during my teeth cleaning and clearly explained to me what was going on in my x-rays and recommend other procedures I would need (i.e. fillings).

What's great about their office is that they're open on Saturdays! Scheduling an appointment was easy and I actually look forward to going back.

Bonita Shoe Repair  

Category: Shoe Repair
Neighborhood: Chula Vista

3 star rating
 9/20/2008  
Bonita Shoe Repair is conveniently located on Bonita road with adequate parking for their customers. They offer quick turnaround times on heel repairs with reasonable prices. To repair the heels for two pairs of heels, it cost $12 each. To wrap and repair the heel of a worn out pair of shoes, it cost $24.

The only  downside of my visit was that when I inspected the quality of one pair of shoes, you can see a gap from where it was supposed to be glued. I brought it to the clerk's attention and she fixed the problem right away then assured me that if I came across any other problems to come back. Lesson of the day, inspect your shoes before paying.

H & M

Neighborhood: Chula Vista

Reasonable prices for stylish clothes. If you're a young professional looking for affordable prices and stylish garments, you should definitely check out H&M. The customer service is alright. The staff don't go out of their way to greet you or ask if you need help but if you're like me, I don't like to be bothered shopping anyway.

If you're in the area, stop by and see what H&M has to offer. If you live up north and drive south to H&M, don't complain about how far it is. You knew about the distance from the jump. Rate the store for it's quality, customer service, and price.

Christina's Mother-of-the Bride

I bought a beautiful dress from Christina's but found that the staff was very "commission-driven". If you look like you have money they'll wait on you hand and foot but if you come in the next day in a t-shirt and jeans, the staff become very unfriendly. Also, it is important to note children aren't allowed in the store.

Bonita Vons used to have the WORST customer service but I think that after the remodeling, they got rid of the old incompetent employees and brought on a staff of friendly and helpful individuals. Now I find myself driving an extra mile to just get groceries.
