Get Ready to Enjoy Ladies' Nite @The Dirty Bourbon Dance Hall and Saloon

You can shoot the bull, ride the bull, or show off the bull in you!  Take your pick--or do all 3!

Are you interested in de-tails?

The ladies are a BIG attraction as is the Mechanical Bull ride for $3.  Plank out $3 and get a lady on a bull ride.  Fun for all!

Have you ever seen a saddle spin?  You will if you get on the bull, or you may choose the dance floor.  There's a spinning saddle there covered in reflective glass. Other generations called this country dancing under a disco ball, but now it's "doin' your thang" under the saddle.

It's fun to order a cool one, too.  The staff serves you in saloon garb -- that's corsets and petticoats for women and guys in black pants, bow ties, and red vests.

Best time to go?

1.  Ladies' Nite!  Just watch them ladies go! AND/OR
2.  When a great band is playin'! (A cover will be charged only when there is live music at the bar.)

S andwiches! spells the dining fare at the new Bliss Restaurant in the middle of town.  I loved the meatloaf sandwich at this happy place near the freeway and San Mateo NE at the Pavillions.  Enjoy!

Flying Star Shoots Beyond Limits!

Headed over to the Flying Star on Dec. 23, 2010 about 9:30 pm.  Ordered @ 9:40.  There was no mention that the store was closing @ 10 pm.

They took our order, our money, and were soon back telling us to leave.

We noticed all of the top area and a large part of the bottom area were closed.  The staff knew they were closing, but they did not inform us.  

The next day I called the management and complained that there we were not given any notice before we ordered and were given no time to eat.

Management said that the protocol used with us was not sanctioned by Flying Star and said he would mail a gift card.  There has been no follow-up.

My stay at Lawrence Ferlinghetti--Room 402!--was short. Creative people included the old Remington typewriter message concerning the author for whom the room was named.

Inviting atmosphere!  Cold room! Cold shower water!  No time available to make room changes.

Went to Socials Apps WS at Heroku. SF, CA building location was questionable, but concept will prove that it is a location worth visiting.

The building was originally the Jackson Brewery.  The Frederick family owned it.  It was completed in 1912 in the popular Romanesque Revival Style.  This building was entered in the National Register of Historic Places on April 8, 1995.

Yesterday,  I popped into Mels on Mission.  I wanted a quick breakfast.  Therefore, putting me at the counter was OK.  However, many seats were empty, and a choice would have been thoughtful.  I had limited time, but they had an even greater rush-rush approach.  The waitress that seated me eventually took my order.  I ordered coffee, but she never brought it.  Another waitress asked me for my order.  I asked her for coffee.  She brought it immediately.  That was a nice touch.

I think Mels needs to organize its operation to provide better service and more courtesy to its guests.  Its rush approach was only a reflection of its inadequate management.

The Stanford Court, A Renaissance Hotel

San Francisco is a beautiful and expensive city.  The Stanford Court was conveniently located for my business.  However, it is not truly nominal in price on a local scale.  The accommodations and cleanliness aspects were more consistent with hotels of less reputation.  A room without a view was my reward for my reservation and early check in.  Dirty glasses, soiled carpets, tacked on prices for lackluster food and service made me question my choice.  Cost of internet service should also have included wifi.  IPOD touch work only with wifi.  Vending machines should be provided on every floor.  They should be stocked, working, and provide something beside Pepsi.

Did a follow-up with Budget Transmission today.  Needed transmission maintenance.  They rebuilt my jeep transmission last year.  So far, the jeep is running great.

Update - 9/10/2008 1 photo
UPDATE:

The water was great.  Went with friends.  They were impressed with my choice of restaurants.  

The guy to my right was so happy that he wanted to give the waitress a rating.  Unfortunately, he paid with a credit card. The credit card slip didn't include a rating.

The waitress tried to solve the problem.  She took the cash-payer's bill to receive the rating from Mr. Credit Card. Just before we left, Mr. Cash couldn't find his bill.  Decided his lunch must be FREE.  Oh, woe is me!  The waitress came to his aid.  The bill got paid.  

Hope this GREAT WAITRESS is feeling fine, lost her allergies, and WE'LL BE BACK TO DINE.

    The French Dip sandwich is spectacular.  So good, in fact, that I hate to gripe about a place which should be visited by all beef eaters.  However, I HAVE A BEEF!  

    I couldn't wait to go have this sandwich at lunch.  I asked politely for a glass of water and received it quickly.  UGH!  Have you tasted water that is just plain foul, or is that FOWL??  Well, that's what the waitress served.  I tried again and asked her  politely for regular tap water.  She responded that she could sell me a bottle of water.  She wouldn't tap her tap for me.  She told me fountain water was the only option unless I wanted a bottle of water or a coke.

    What is interesting is that I bought the coke, but quess what?  Are you ready for the punch in the mouth line?  The coke was made with fountain water.

    Solution?  Fox and Hound needs to clean their fountain lines and check their filters more often.  The Prime Rib sandwich was delicious.  The water left me with a bad taste in my mouth for the whole affair.

BRAVO! Cucina Italiana

BRAVO for Bravo!  When ABQ Uptown hit the Albuquerque scene, Bravo bounced along with fantastic servings of delicious Italian food, great staff, and enough atmosphere to do other Italian restaurants under.

Lobster Bisque Soup has flavor plus.  Mama's Lasagne is served in a dish large enough to bathe your newborn.  Eggplant Parmesan is good, and then we come to desserts.  If you haven't time for the Italian meal, just order dessert.  The presentation will make you take notes and the varied menu will have you on your knees for the recipes.  Ask for a box for a take-home addition.  Hope I'll see you there.
