I'm the first to admit this place is not a diamond in the rough but it's not as bad as people say, at least not their "Chinese" food. I can't speak for their dim sum, but I have heard its not that great. I've ordered delivery from here on numerous occasions   And I've never had any problems with the food.. I usually stick to the basics: broccoli beef, mushu pork and all that jazz. The lady who takes your order on the phone is quite difficult to deal with due to the language barrier... But speaking slowly works out. Use cash for delivery.

I have been going to the brow bar for 5 years. I am never ever disappointed. I went to the European wax center a few times and the results in comparison were disappointing. These girls know what they are doing and will shape trim and wax those brows perfect everytime!

    Need perfect eyebrows? This is the place to get them. That's all i've ever had waxed here, and for a 18$ wax + tip, It's worth it. I don't think I would go anywhere else. I think i've had my eyebrows done by almost every esthetician that works here because I'm not picky and I've never had a bad wax here. They shape your eyebrows in a complimentary way to your face, so no skinny minnie almost impossible to see eyebrows.. And you don't have to draw them on if you don't feel like it either.

    It's good to set up an appointment if it's Prom "season," or right before some big holiday where people like to get dressed up. It's pretty calm on weekdays, but friday, sat, and sunday it gets pretty busy.

Guadalajara you are a Davis staple. Your spicy salsa bar is my favorite and the horchata is always good. The breakfast burrito has been my favorite of anything I've gotten and the regular burritos are always good too.

de Vere's you are a cool spot my friend. From bouncers to bartenders the service is super friendly, and everyone is really excited to be in such a new place. It's always crowded and I definitely think that things are on the rise here. I don't know if their Sacramento location is this bumpin' but grad students, professors, undergrads, and townies are all obviously in agreement-- de Vere's is the place to have a drink in Davis.

Wunderbar, you're still G St Pub to me-- but with a face lift. I have to be honest I don't love this place nearly as much as I did when it was G St. I can't say I'll ever be as charmed as I was by the gritty pub you used to be but, A for effort and there are plenty of undergrads in Davis who won't know any different.

Seriously every time I come back I'm humbled by the consistency, affordable prices, diverse menu specials and most importantly the accepting community that Winters seems to bring out in everyone. Ficelle is a hidden treasure that continues inspire my palette. I have almost tried everything on the menu and I've never had anything even close to bad.

    What an experience. Never thought a little place like this would be in a town like Winters. (Not that I had ever been to Winters before, but my IDEA of Winters was not anything what I thought it would be.) My boyfriend and I were craving some tapas, which we regularly get when we're both hanging around the south bay. This was honestly one of our top 2 experiences with tapas. Not a single one out of the four plates we got was bad. There was nothing we could complain about. I had a delicious glass of Temperanillo along with my meal. Not only was this place truly affordable and delicious, the atmosphere was totally homey and comfortable. Definitely coming back, and soooo planning on being a regular.

    PS: Get the gambas al ajillo, they were amazzzing.

Bottega Louie

My goodness was this place a delight. Me and the beau luckily won some tickets to see Conan O'Brien live one random Tuesday and we booked our hotel downtown. We considered lots of different places to eat but Bottega Louie sounded like something we could really get down with for dinner.

Despite the noise and the somewhat lackadaisical staff (Where did our server go? oh.. now we have someone new? Wait now our server is back?) I thought overall this place was pretty amazing, and not to mention very dressy in comparison to the eclectic and often underdressed crowds we're used to hanging around within the Bay Area.. (and boy did we sure feel under dressed!)

We thought it was a great spot for drinks and pizza, if we ever ended up back in LA we'd probably go again for the food. (Not to mention they squeezed us in on a busy night with no reservations!)

Another solid yakitori place in the bay area. It's all good from the grilled mushrooms to the crispy chicken skin.

Namaste Nepal has some upsides that Kathmandu doesn't, mainly their sauces & chutney. They have a great lunch buffet and are extremely accommodating to students, I'm not sure if they do curry ala carte, but if you are ordering for dinner it would be better (and probably a few dollars cheaper if you're already getting rice).

Service is typically good, but occasionally they are forgetful when you're ordering takeout.

Sushi Unlimited

The prices for this place are on par with normal sushi prices throughout the bay area. I like the expansive sushi menu, you get a lot more choices (than say Mikuni) however I ordered the Bob's roll which has tempura in the center and I always expect them to make it fresh, so its slightly warm and crunchy by the time I got my roll the tempura was cold which made me think that it was premade (which is kind of gross, no one wants soggy tempura!) I would have rated higher, but I also had an issue with them messing up my order for pick up.. (They totally forgot a part of my order) Though they did make up for it by happily taking the charge off my credit card over the phone. I'll most likely be back it beats having to go to over priced Mikuni.
