Beer selection was too heavy on the Belgians and large domestics and too light on local, micro and sours. Our waiter obviously knew nothing about beer and the bartender didn't even know the IBU counts of the beer. What a joke.
P.S. Just because I'm woman doesn't mean I don't know about beer... So please spare me the reccomendtions of lighter beer. What a cliche.

My Dad got really amazing Crab Cake Eggs Bendicte. The crab cakes were generous and the crab meat wasn't indecscerinible (like some crab cakes) and had really good bites of crab meat and seasoning. The hollandise sauce was creamy and buttery and everything that a good hollendaise sauce should be. The eggs were cooked perfectly (which seems to be much harder then I use to think).
My mom got a combination of eggs and belgian waffle which she really enjoyed. I only had a bite of her waffle but it was yummy. Her only wish was that she had some more syrup but our waiter Rueben (?! I think that was his name) was really attentive and brought her more.
I had the potatoe pancake tower (I don't know if that's exactly what its name was) but it was awesome. It has ham and bacon and cheese in it was combined with hashbrowns and sour cream and apple sauce (both on the side). I know the sour cream and apple sauce sounds little wierd but it tastes soo good as a combination with the hasbrowns and meat and cheese. The only thing I would have like was a little more apple sauce but thats mainly because I'm a sauce slut. I will definately be coming back to get some more of the awesomeness that was the potatoe pancake tower.
I would recommend this place. The servers were attentive, the food was great and the atmoshphere was friendly. I didn't feel rushed like I normally do in breakfast resturants.

Lush is my new obsession. I use to walk by this store and be totally put off by the smell... it was just so strong I thought...How can anyone stand to be in there?!?
But about 6 months ago I got over it and walked inside for a quick peek and fell HEAD OVER HEALS in LOVEEE!
Here are a few of my favorite things:
1. How they make conscious effort to be green
2. How you can buy soaps by the oz
3. The massage bars... All of them!
4. The Bath bomb (especially the butterball... its a classic but it leaves your skin feeling unbelievably smooth!)
5. The Pudding soap!
6. The sensitive skin products
7. The bath melts
I could go on and on! I have really sensitive skin and haven't had a problem with most their products (though one or two have been a little too strong for me) but I came in and told them and they helped me choose something better!

Mikuni Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar

I remember when Mikuni's was just a small restaurant out in Fair Oaks and now its just gotten so commercial that the quality is lacking.
Every once in a while I just want some plain ole' California style Sushi (because lets be straight only a handful of dishes are traditional at Mikuni) but I am starting to worry that the restaurant is loosing its touch.

Ok so I have been coming to Mikuni's since I was about 9 or 10 (at the Fair Oaks location before expanded and spread like freaking wildfire). That being said Mikuni's has been the sight of some pretty important life events for me, from dates with my first love, to birthdays, to good bye parties. We've grown up together. But as I continue to grow Mikuni's has remained stagnant. They use to be so refreshing and innovative and now they are just a scene for yuppies and the wanna-be posh. They need revamping and some serious rethinking about their dependency on sauces.
They aren't classical Japanese. Infact if you want good sashimi and nigiri you should probably go somewhere else more classic. But what Mikuni's does well is rolls, and not Japanese style rolls, but those that appeal to Americans. Hey, every once in a while everyone just wants a good roll. I go here went I don't want classic Japanese.
But Mikuni's has become so overpriced and so cliche that it breaks my heart. You use to be so inovative and refreshing.... what happened?
-1 Star: For the wanna-be poshies who come here and ruin it for the rest of us because they are willing to spend $15 dollars on one roll.
-1 Star:The fact that Mikuni's hasn't changed much in the last 5 years.
Recommended Rolls: Mafia, Carmen, Marilyn, Train Wreck, Spicy Johnny, Fair Oaks (for those of you who liked things COOKED)
Recommended Specialities: Special Scallop, Sea Steak, BBQ White Tuna (its basically the same as Spicy Dream 1 just not sliced and with more sauce and its CHEAPER!)
*NOTE: The Edamame here are really salty (but I like them like that)
It has some of the most beautiful carvings I have ever seen. I'm sure you can read other peoples reviews and get a synopsis on the tour but I encourage you to go yourself and learn all the interesting history and stories.
If you are in Edinburgh (heck even Scotland) I HIGHLY recommend it!

I'm assuming that they have closed for good so don't waste your time trying to go here!
However the lines can get ridiculously long and the hours are pretty crappy. If you go try and go early then 6 because you won't get your food until like 6:45.. Expect up to a 40 minute wait for your food.
- 1 star for having horrible hours and not a big enough grill.
Skip the fries because a squeeze with cheese is more then enough food for even the biggest of grown men.

3 stars on the service but definitely 4 stars on the food. Their sangria is yummy too.
DON'T COME HERE IF YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE... but if you do have the time definitely the pork is yummmmmmmm.
