Wow. Terrific experience - these guys have customer service down pat.

The facility is beautiful, located just north of Mile High Stadium. Parking is easy. In the lobby, a security guard kindly directs you to the floor and "region" for your appointment (there are easily a dozen doctors at work here).

I checked it at my "region" counter and was soon in visiting with my specialist. The staff was proactive, helpful, and accommodating throughout.

Great service experience.

GREAT FOOD. This is not a full-service restaurant. You place your order at the counter then find a seat - the staff bring you your order when it's ready (which is quite fast).

For lunch on a weekday, the joint was hopping, but our group of six was served promptly - and everyone enjoyed their meal.

It's a bit hard to find - go into the Alberson's parking lot off Coast Highway, and LF is across from the grocery store entrance.

This BK saved my butt one morning. I wanted my standard protein breakfast - scrambled eggs - and went to THREE SEPARATE RESTAURANTS in Fairfield to seek that out. One kicked me out because I brought in a cup of latte from another restaurant (huh?) - one had recently closed - and another wasn't open for breakfast.  

BK has breakfast offerings CHEAP. I got two orders of eggs for $3 (!). It hit the spot, was served very promptly, and I was on my way.

This is a small regional airport that has enjoyed a remodel recently. It's easy to get in and out of this airport - TSA lines are short (due to few airlines servicing DSM) so it's less hassle than business travel normally is.

Staff are friendly, no one's in a rush. It's a very pleasant experience, overall.

I had a nice chicken Caesar salad here before my flight back to Denver. This is a pretty typical airport sit-down restaurant. Staff were pleasant if a bit harried (it was very busy).

Food was good, ambiance a bit noisy (but that's expected).

Fabulous location with wonderful views. VERY DATED facility. The band played for a holiday event hosted at the MVCC. Staff were great & accommodating. Clients danced up a storm and said they loved us.

Load in access was fine, as was storage for all the cases for our gear.

We'd definitely play here again.

Odd to find a nation-wide investment company HQ'ed in the middle of Iowa cornfields, but here we are.

Beautiful facility, delightful staff. They treated me like royalty when I came in to facilitate a two-day leadership program.

Fab folks!

Don't ask for pancakes at a Waffle House.

This is one of a million WH's across the nation. The band hits WH's at about 1-2am for sustenance post-gig (and post-load-in). I can negotiate for a tomato & ham omelet (no cheese, no hash browns, etc.) without too much difficulty (to stay on my slow-carb diet).

These places are all a bit dirty, a bit dated, and the food's nothing to write home about. PERFECT at 2am!

Toll House Hotel

Nice classic Los Gatos hotel - comfortable rooms, nice conference space, great location.

They lost a star due to 1) poor insulation around the wall-mounted heater-A/C which allowed very cold air in to my room at all hours and 2) ownership changed in the middle of my stay so I received two different invoices and was charged for breakfast (which the first owner allowed as part of my room rate).

GREAT food. Ambiance is early 70's but it doesn't detract from the fabulous BBQ.

Servers were very nice & proactive. Our meals were slow to arrive as (apparently) the kitchen ran out of some entrees (at 6pm on a weeknight). When it did arrive, the table was quiet. Tough to have conversation when we're all stuffing ourselves with brisket, pork, chicken, ribs, beans, bread, coleslaw, etc.
