Expected to be wow-ed but it was not that impressive. The service was sparse, though good when he came by. Unfortunately we were seated at the worst table and next to some very happy, cackly women celebrating a birthday.

When our Mac became too outdated, we searched for new and used Macs and stumbled upon DC Computers - and what a find! We had terrific help in selecting the right Mac for us.  The partner even agreed to meet with us during the playoff game on a Sunday, so we felt the service was above and beyond.

As for the Mac, we saved several hundred dollars by not buying a new one, and our used Mac is working very well.  If you're searching for a new or used Mac, I highly recommend talking to DC Computers.

My husband and I popped in for an afternoon snack and drink, as a break during shopping.  We were treated to excellent service, including a generous sampling of beer on tap.  We were even offered one that was not on the menu, and of course it was our choice.  Our waiter was very knowledgeable about their beer selection.

We also ordered a sandwich to split, which was quite tasty, with a side of cucumber and apple slaw.  The slaw was light and delicious...in fact I'm going to attempt to recreate it at home (though I'm sure it won't be as good).

And finally, we ordered "minis", fresh- and locally-baked mini cupcakes.  They were the perfect amount of delicious sweet afterbites.  I highly recommend the minis to complete the wonderful experience at Counterpoint!

Prowest Escrow Inc

We just got through a home purchase with ProWest being the seller's choice of escrow company.  We had a terrible experience with this company.  The staff was unresponsive to calls from us, the mortgage company and our realtor.  Their lack of response delayed our close date by almost one week, which of course means we had to pay to extend the lock on our rate.

We have yet to receive the refund check from our escrow pad (escrow closed a month ago), although their staff swears they mailed it to our new address. And when we called to follow up on the check, they took the time to let us know that they found some typos in the documents and we need to re-sign them.  "I've been meaning to call you, but it kept slipping my mind" was the response from their staff, the first we had heard of these errors...again, a month later.  

I highly recommend choosing any other escrow company but ProWest Escrow.

Visiting "the cow store" is a favorite weekend activity for us.  The owners have good taste in purchasing estates and we often find mid-century modern items that we like.

My husband and I recently visited  after searching for mcm/antique stores in DC.  We were thrilled to find Modernicus and spend a long time reviewing Robert's selection.  He has a great eye for quality pieces.

And having come from Southern California, we were also very impressed with the prices.  Unlike SoCal, the prices were very fair.  To boot, we figure it would actually cost less to buy from Modernicus and ship to San Diego, than it would to buy from most dealers here.

We look forward to returning to Modernicus on our next visit.  For the meantime, we will enjoy the website.

    My husband and I stumbled upon Oceanside Cafe when the Beach Break Cafe was too busy.  And it's a good thing because now we have found a great restaurant.  The food is great, the coffee is great and the service is great.
