I've been to the California Cafe three times now and I've never been disappointed. Great service, food and ambiance.

Their prix fixe menu is an awesome deal, usually worth much more than what you'd pay for each item individually. I also love their brunch, the french toast are the best.

Overall a great restaurant with good food and service.

Overall very nice place. I took my previous and wife's car there a few times. Very friendly and attentive. They deal with the insurance company and Enterprise, so you have very little to deal with.

The owner/manager is really friendly and will show you pictures of your damage and email them to you if you want.

I would definitely go back and recommend them to friends.

Just saw Dr. Yeh for the first time for a few minor issues and overall she was really good. Very friendly, professional and caring. She's really efficient and was able to take care of my issues quickly.

Not much else to say other than she's great!

Great food, good decor and ambiance. Rangoli is a great upscale Indian restaurant. They even have a wine list, which is nice.

My wife and I went here last week and ordered the Lamb Korma, Paneer Saag`walla and Naan. All were wonderfu, full of flavor and spices. Definitely the best Indian I've had.

Even after we turned down dessert, they gave us an egg less custard for free, which was nice. It wasn't very good though, pretty plain and bland.

Overall a good restaurant for those craving a nice dinner and some really tasty Indian food.

I love Downtown dogs. After visiting about 5 other dog kennels/daycare places in the Valley, Downtown dogs was #1 by a huge margin.

First off, the facilities are great. Very clean, organized and plenty of room for dogs. They have 4 rooms with separate rooms for large, small and older dogs. The rooms have a soft plastic floor, toys and cages for dogs that get too wild.

The overnight areas are very nice with each dog getting a raised sleeping mat. You can pay for a more expensive 'suite' if you feel like giving your dog a TV and a webcam.

The other great part of Downtown Dogs is the staff. They are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Every time I drop my dog off they recognize him immediately (even the second time!). They also make the dogs sit before entering the play area, which is really nice.

The staff plays with the dogs all day and monitors their behavior. At the end of the day you usually get a 'report card' for your dog that lets you know of any problems.

Another great part of Downtown Dogs is their webcams. They are on all day except during 'nap time'. Even if you think it's a gimmick, it shows that they are willing to publicly show how they manage dogs. There's a lot less of a chance of maltreatment if they're being watched :) . It's also nice to check in every now and then and see how your dog is doing.

A+, highly recommended. They are worth every penny.

I went here for their New Years Eve tasting menu and was not impressed at all.

Disclaimer: I am a foodie, snob, picky, etc. Take this review with a grain of salt.

From the menu, website and Yelp reviews, this place seemed pretty cool. Unfortunately it's in a house with pretty old decor. The interior looked like a place my grandparents would live in.

Service was slow overall. Food was meh. It really felt like the chef was trying too hard. Big, crazy plates, even crazier plating for some foods. (Shrimp in shot glasses and lots of sauces drizzled and swirled around plates)

Bread: good. Bruschetta: really good. Asparagus with mozzarella inside baked bread: pretty good. Some sort of green spaghetti with crab: ok.

Lamb cutlet with mustard crust and chickpea mash: bad.  Lamb was ordered medium rare, but because it was about 1/8 inch thin, it was cooked completely. And greasy for some reason, felt like it was deep fried? The chickpea mash was terrible, no flavor.

Dessert was kinda bad too. A ton of not fresh whip cream around a pastry with some dried fruit. I couldn't identify the fruit because there was very little flavor.

Overall a subpar experience. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Definitely one of my top 5 restaurants in the bay area. Great food, drinks and service, a rare combination in my experience.

This is a great restaurant to go to for drinks and with friends. It's a little too loud/busy for a date, but you could swing it if your date likes places like that.

First off, the decor and ambiance is great. Festive, lively and bright. It feels like a Latin bar and restaurant, nothing cheesy or over the top.

The drinks are excellent. I recommend a Mojito or Caipirinhas, both tasty and with the right amount of alcohol. Just enough to taste it, but not too strong.

But the main reason to come to Cascal is the food. It is awesome. Every tapas dish I've had was great and cooked perfectly. Vegetables, rice, mussels, chicken, goat cheese lollipops (the best lollipop you'll ever have), everything is delicious.

If you haven't been to Cascal, you have to go, you won't be dissapointed.

I've been going to Jordan for over 6 months now and he's definitely worth the money. I used to get my hair cut at a run-down salon for $10, but every time I went I was really worried they didn't know what they were doing (and they had a really hard time understanding English).

With Jordan, you don't need to worry at all. He does a fantastic job and listens to what you want to do with your hair. Even though I get a pretty basic cut, I think it's worth the money. I know every time I go it will look good and exactly the same as the last time. Save yourself the hassle of cheap salons and go with Jordan!

Wow, bad. I don't know where to start. A friend of mine and I went here for lunch one day expecting pretty good food. The website is good and the idea of fondue and good meat was enticing.

The fondue was terrible. The cheese and the oil separated and it was served/cooked in dishes that obviously weren't for fondue. The bowl for the cheese barely fit into the pot underneath.

The worst part of the meal was how the main courses are served (on 'rocks'). They bring out your raw meat on lava rocks that are at 500 degrees. Kinda neat, but your food will stick to the rocks. And because you have no place to move your food (because the rock is your plate), your food overcooks!

My friend ordered the chicken and it was just that. A huge chicken breast with almost no seasonings. Because it was a giant chicken breast, the thinner parts overcooked and the larger parts barely cooked.

I got the fish, which was ok with the mango salsa on top. But it stuck like glue to the rock also.

The lava rock idea is novel, but I really don't think it's worth it. You have to cook your own food and most people aren't good at that anyway. Plus the food isn't that great. Don't bother.

Went here as a last minute idea for a dozen roses and was very happy with them.

Dale was really friendly and created an amazing bouquet of a dozen roses with baby's breath and some other ferns.

I was really impressed at the level of detail and effort he put into the flowers. He trimmed each one, arranged them, wrapped the ends and then wrapped the whole thing up with red paper and cellophane.

Highly recommended.
