I really wanted to like this place because the friendly service was above and beyond. The food on the other hand was soooo greasy and heavy. Maybe I'm just not a fan of Cuban food.

Been going here for years. Try to stop by here for a pint whenever I'm in the city. They recently remodeled due to a fire. I liked the old dark wood and green decor better. It felt like a pub then. It dosent really look like one now. I like my Irish pubs dark and authentic. Still great service. No, the two blonds are not sisters.

If you are looking for a healing and positive Reiki experience, I highly recommend that you come here to receive a session with Allison. Her warmth and calming demeanor brought balance and peace to my soul. I drifted off to a surreal state of mind and when it was over I felt very grounded and came home to a wonderful night of deep, restful slumber. I was having pain in my right leg that I had been dealing with before I came to see her and when I woke up this morning I found that it had almost dissipated.

I have had Reiki sessions and other types of energy work in the past with other practitioners and walked away feeling like it had been a waste of time and didn't feel any shift in my energy. I am a believer in energy/chakra balancing work so I continue to seek out positive experiences. I have also had massage with Reiki incorporated into the session and felt that I did get results and came to the conclusion that I needed to have them both at the same time to feel a shift. After my session with Allison I had an insight and realized that's not necessarily the case and not all practitioners of Reiki are created equal and gifted like Allison.

Absolutely delicious! My new favorite restaurant in Campbell. They have this watermelon salad that is divine and an organic vegan wine list that is impressive. I have eaten there four times now and I am always impressed. Great service.

San Jose Adventure Boot Camp  

Category: Fitness & Instruction

5 star rating

I did it! Whoo hoo! I just completed a month of boot camp with Brett and released 10.2 pounds, 5% body fat and almost 7 inches!(6.75 to be exact) I feel great... both physically and mentally. It was definitely a challenging experience, but worth every moment.

I concur with Josie's review. A lot of it is mental. You also have to commit and show up. Diet plays a big roll too. After watching Brett's Nutrition Seminar I realized how much I needed to change my eating habits and caloric intake. I decided to keep a food journal and followed his advice/plan. I'm so glad I did because I wouldn't have accomplished my awesome results without it. I also followed his advice on abstaining from alcohol which was a huge part for me. I didn't realize how many calories I was consuming when I had glasses of wine or beer with my dinner.

The camp is actually a lot of fun. I did the 5:30am session 5 days a week and really enjoyed working out at that time....I know, crazy but true. I loved working out under the stars outside. Brett brings a huge speaker out and blasts music to get everyone motivated. Thank goodness because I need some beats to get moving that early.

Every workout is a little different and designed so you can work at your own pace and level. If something is too hard or you have bad knees like I do, he teaches you other modifications that you can do instead. Camp was so rewarding and energizing. I felt great throughout the day and slept well. I ended up going to bed every night by 9pm so I could be well rested and ready for another great workout. If you are looking to get into shape and want to have fun while doing so, I highly recommend trying out this boot camp. Grab some buddies and do it together.

Brett and his staff are great people with great attitudes. Everyone is super friendly and have your best interests at heart. They just won Metro's Best of the Silicon Valley and totally deserved it. They all work hard and you can tell that they love what they do. Their passion is infectious and I look forward to continuing my wellness journey with them. Thanks guys! You rock!

****UPDATE: I wrote this review this morning before heading out to do the Oktoberfest 5k in Downtown Campbell. Yes, I know it is only 3 miles but that is a big deal for me. I can proudly say that I just ran my first 5k and completed it without stopping. I cant believe it. I wouldn't have been able to do it had I not participated in San Jose Adventure Boot Camp For Women. Nuff said.

Good food. Good service. Good price. Love their egg and potato breakfast burrito. I have them add pinto beans and guac to make it even better. Their chips and salsa are free and yummy. Very similar to El Burros chips and salsa. My boyfriend loves their fish tacos. My only complaint is that you cant bring your beer outside and drink it while eating on their patio. I'm sure it has to do with their license.

I had the most amazing massage from Roger this morning. What a great way to begin my day off. It can be hard to find a therapist who offers massage on Sundays. I normally try to pack in chores and errands on this day, but I decided to make a change with how I spend my time. I also work in the holistic field myself and try to teach my clients why and how to take better care of themselves. I sometimes fall asleep to this philosophy and needed to implement what I teach and know intellectually on the importance of taking  care of  oneself and address my mind, body and spirit from this understanding. I knew I needed to shift this thinking from my head to my heart. The name to which Roger has called his practice, "Hands And Heart" is truly fitting. My heart was touched by his hands. I got out of my head and traveled to my heart. I am so glad to have crossed paths with Roger. Wow. Simply put, heavenly. Roger was very professional and made sure to check in with me and deliver exactly what I needed . His energy was grounded and calming. His touch was healing and spiritual. I am in love with the Esalen style that he performed.  I have now become a fan of his and look forward to receiving more work from him in the future.
