Annie M.'s Profile

Two stars for the sandwiches, negative three stars for them never answering their phone.

There isn't a sign out front at all but they must not need it because it's pretty busy. We only know about it because my husband found it looking up restaurants online.

There are no places whatsoever to sit and wait after you first get there and put in your name.

There is no parking other than valet (or you can risk it with the business parking lot next door, or do some walking and park in front of the neighborhood houses).

There is a really awesome appetizer that I forget what it is called - little tiny green peppers in oil and salt. Wow, so yummy and unique. I had a great Mixed Grain Salad that was bursting with flavor even though it was packed with good nutrients! I remember there being some sort of hash browns covered in melted cheese that my husband had.

Other than there not being any waiting area, there were also hazards. More than one person tripped in the same tree planter (the one shown in the picture that has the tree trunk in front of a table) and one woman even fell down into the gravel on her knees in a dress. Staff was ready with a broom right after to push the gravel back into the planter, so you know it must happen all the time. It's a cramped spot; not planned well by the designers. What IS cool, as far as design goes, is the hallway with the cassette-tape wall and their fancy-slash-industrial bathrooms.

My husband and I had a long wait to get a table, but the hosts and waiters were very apologetic and nice, and they even comped us our appetizer because of it!

Pies. Amazing. Been here about three or four times and I always have to get a slice of pie every time. They are SOOOOOOOO yummy.

Great people watching and interacting because it's a stopping point for travelers going to many different places. Live music most of the time. Lots of fun :)

OMG they have the best Dolmades I have ever had. I've searched high and low for them, including multiple Greek restaurants and the Greekfest. Still no one can beat PJ's dolmades. I am also in love with the roasted bell pepper hummus.

I went there for take-out yesterday. The dolmades were almost finished by the time I got home. I skipped the pitas that came with the hummus and instead brought out my own veggies, all of which went great with the dip. I want the recipe!!

The restaurant itself is such a pleasant place to be, too. The inside is huge with high ceilings and lots of windows, and the patio is always hoppin'. This was the second time I went and I have yet to eat a mediocre item there.

I love having this place so close to my house. My husband and I walked there yesterday and I picked up a jump rope and a 10lb medicine ball for 35 bucks total. I am going back again today (with the truck) to get a bench, a stepper platform thingy and a chest press bar. Wish I had a whole room in the house for just gym stuff. Going to have to get creative with where I will put these things.

This place seems to have everything for almost every sport. It even has a skateboard-ski thing which is like a board on the top but instead of wheels it has four mini-skis. Good selection of cleats, wrestling shoes (didn't know there was such a thing), and other sports shoe types. Has steppers, treadmills, ellipticals, gym exercise machines, dumbbells, and tons more. Awesome!

I actually used to volunteer at this warehouse before I got my recent job. The people are so friendly (especially Alexis Boyle, whom I believe is in charge there) and helpful. Their welcoming and check-out system is very organized and runs smoothly; you can tell they all know what they are doing!

The only reason I didn't give more stars is because 1) it is super squished together, and with the crowds it's hard to get anywhere, let alone stand in one place too long browsing through a book like I usually do at any given bookstore; 2) the selection is hit-or-miss because it's all based on whatever the public (and the library) decides to donate, and most of it is way-outdated stuff. But you can dig and still find fairly recent titles.

The price you CAN'T beat - I bought 15 books for 19 dollars! Score!

This place made me want to re-decorate my whole house in french-inspired gorgeousness. But even though the prices were pretty reasonable overall, I can't afford a whole-house makeover (and my husband would want a say in the decision too... which would consist of one word: NO). Everything is lovely! I bought a napkin holder, a toiletry tray, and a candelabra (since I couldn't afford a chandelier, which I am obsessed about; {sigh} one day...).

Really hip hangout. I went at night though, and I imagine it would make a nice daytime chill place during summer. I met up with a friend who had a cabana rented, which was cool but it's ideal for a small group; pretty cool that there's a tv in there! Our mexican food appetizers were tasty. The gals working are cute and friendly.

Is this place open still? I couldn't see it when driving by

I do really love this place, and the location you can't beat. But unfortunately the inside needs much updating. The room didn't have any character and the decor seemed dilapidated or just plain drab. If it weren't for the view on our patio onto the bay, the hotel grounds and private 'beach', the two blind rescued seals in the front, and the prime location in Mission, I might have given it only three stars.

OH, and I almost forgot...Mike. The guy at the front was super cool and he upgraded our room without a price increase. All the people working there were very pleasant, personable and accommodating.
