Amy "Mash Bill" J.'s Profile

The meat counter was closed when we went there, but mac n cheese on the menu sounds good. The drinks were well made and the atmosphere mostly grand.
If you guys would turn down the music that's blasting out of those lamp speakers, though, I'll give you 5 stars. Even with only a few other people in the place, we still had to scream at each other in our group of 4. I'm so tired of this trend of crazy loud music. Show owner comment »

Olde Skoole SF elegance. It hasn't been a cafe in decades, but no matter. You can grab lots of eats in the hood.
The recent return of the proper glass from which to drink an Irish coffee prompted a little get together and we held court like kings in one of those perfectly sized booths.

Best place to grab a delicious (mushroom sausage) pizza after a few rounds at Tosca. The coo-coo clam sauce is a little on the watery side, but it's still a tasty treat with crusty bread that's been ever so slightly toasted.
It's not a big joint, so you might wind up waiting. Looks like they will serve you a glass of wine while you wait, though. Anyhow, worth sticking around for. Loved the Spumoni.

Favorite grocery store on the planet. Amazing beer selection, meat counter, and well stocked for coffee, popsicles and organic fruits and vegetables. Nicest staff anywhere. Open early until late, 7 days a week.
I live nearby. Today I went there 3 times. Always a pleasure.

How difficult is it to spin-dry the lettuce before tossing the salad?
I paid 9 bucks for an otherwise really nice batch of fresh vegetables and grilled salmon. When I opened the container at my office, I saw a shiny wet mess. Alas, I had no spinner myself and the ingredients were already tossed together. Next time I'll make it at home.
UPDATE: Wendy, the owner, contacted me to apologize and offered a replacement salad. +1 star.

Best possible local coffee shop-
excellent coffee, good bagels, great home made granola, service with a smile. I love this place and the family that runs it.

Mint Leaf Vietnamese Restaurant
Category:
Vietnamese
The pho is not "the best ever", but it's still pretty dang good. Imperial rolls were very good as was the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. Decent glass of Merlot, and the ginger lemonade really was the star of the meal.
2 drinks. 1 App. 2 bowls of soup. 1 dessert= 40 bucks. Super clean and friendly. Double Happiness.

It's the Love Hotel of gyms. Short, sweet, and to the point. I like the music volume adjustment panel. Air conditioned. Kind of a ridiculous way to work out, but perfect for procrastinators and distract-o-trons, such as myself.

As tiki bars go, SC is for sippin'.
It's a world class rum library.
They have artfully crafted a menu and a keeping track of what you tried environment for those who are seeking the deeper secrets. Prices are decent, and there are a variety of intimate spaces that lend themselves to paying closer attention to your beverage.

I accompanied a friend who was having her complex asymmetrical boutique purchase wedding dress altered to fit and flatter better. We knew the gig needed super pro skills and confident creativity to pull it all together.
We had a great time every visit. Kathleen is the real deal!!
