Keith K.'s Profile

Had a terrific event today at Roy's with Congressman Neil Abercrombie and local community folks. Group sales manager Jean Francisco was helpful from the very beginning; she and all the staff made Roy's into the perfect venue for our gathering.

Ordered a meat lovers pizza.  Delivery took 90 min.  And they gave me the wrong pizza.  Paid $30 for cheese pizza.

This review is just for the lounge.

The Good: Called for walk-in without reservation and host was very accommodating. Valet ($8) guy was terrific; and they offer to bring your car out as you pay for the tab. Well decorated space, quiet, staff all very courteous. Eighteen percent service charge (yes, I consider this good; it ensures that staff receive proper gratuity).

The OK: Udon noodles, cheese plate, pork rissette, wine all decent, but nothing memorable.

The Bad: Service slow initially.

I would recommend Coi with reservations. If money is an issue, be careful what you order. But worth at least one visit.

Friday night dinner. Seated right away. Cheese plate one of the best anywhere. Gnocchi very good. Hangar steak just ok. Service got slower and slower as dinner went on. Not a bad spot, but can't recommend.

In addition to the quality meat, the warehouse decor and the reasonable prices, the server actually cooks the food for you. Not too much variety with the side dishes, but that's a small issue. Overall a great eatery and a terrific introduction for me to Annandale, Va. ktown.

Crowd ebbs and flows here. Count yourself lucky if you go during a slow time. Great Japanese food in the Imner Richmond.

Nice interior, friendly if uneven service and decent but not memorable entrees makes Heaven's Dog worthy of trying at least once.

Being here - well anywhere with Cindy and Dan - on a Sunday night was a series of moments that plastered a big grin on my face.

Someone has apparently resurrected Great Star Theater. The 2009 SF Indie Film Festival is showing on Friday, June 5, BRAIN DEAD ALIVE and CONANATOR:

In nominating Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, President Obama fulfilled a promise to the American people to appoint judges who are well-qualified, grounded in the rule of law and the Constitution, fair-minded and committed to equal justice for all. Judge Sotomayor embodies all these traits.

In the course of a life that began in a housing project in the South Bronx and brought her to the pinnacle of her profession, Judge Sotomayor accumulated more experience on the federal bench than any incoming Supreme Court Justice in the past 100 years, touching nearly every aspect of our legal system.

But Judge Sotomayor's ethnicity has proven too much of a temptation for the voices of hate and extremism, who instead of looking at her judicial record have launched a vocal rampage that has reached new heights of absurdity, including calling her a "reverse racist" and calling the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) "the Latino KKK without the hoods and nooses."

Condemn these unacceptable attacks on Latinos and Judge Sotomayor now. Join NLCR and send a message to Chairman Michael Steele of the RNC, House Minority Leader John Boehner, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell asking them to denounce these statements and restore the nomination process for Judge Sotomayor to a more appropriate and civil discourse.

EJS has also launched a blog and Facebook page in support for Judge Sotomayor. Visit http://ConfirmSotomayo... and join the Facebook page as a fan. The blog includes a page with information on how you can support Judge Sotomayor.
