Jennifer L.'s Profile

I'm so glad Green Pawz is nearby...I brought my cat, Lucca, here for some grooming and it was seamless!  From making the appointment, dropping her off, getting some useful kitty advice and picking her up...it made what is usually a scary process for Lucca an easy one...So easy, she came home super chill and cuddly (I don't get that from her much...).  

I also love that Green Pawz is clean, well organized and doesn't smell like pet food.  The lady who helped us (the owner?) was also very friendly and informative.  I think I've found a new place for my Lucca needs!  :)

My BF and I found these guys while we were sauntering around OutsideLands and they were just what he was looking for!  Even with the limited selection available at their stand, they helped him find the perfect Maui Jim's that fit his handsome face.  They were super patient, accommodating and best of all...they certainly knew what they were doing.

Seek them out at events around the bay...whether you forgot your sunglasses at home or just want a new pair, they will definitely help you out and won't lie to you if the pair you have on REALLY do not go well with your face.  Honesty's the best policy.  :)

-2 stars for location.
+1 star for awesome happy hour prices.
-2 stars for a bartender who can't multi-task and get a dirty martini right  (Can I get a shot of dirty for my martini please?).
+1 star for its pretty interior, good enough for a small, loungy-club vibe.

What's left to say that 1027 other yelpers haven't already said?  Amazing food, delectable wine selection and knowledgeable service!!!!  Can't beat that!

Yes, it was yum.  You gotta know what you want, though.  The lady is like the "Vietnamese Sandwich Nazi".  She gives you the evil eye if you're not ready to order.  Indecisive?  Order the Roasted Pork.  Careful, you will find a few Jalapenos in there...make sure you tell them "No Jalapeno for you!"

It's not the best Pho I've had in the city.  It was just "ok" for me...I expected a lot more, given the reviews about Turtle Tower, but came out pretty disappointed.  I was, however, surprised by the back room that was open for overflow of customers.  Pretty sneaky, Turtle Tower!  Pretty Sneaky...

Magnolia is pretty spot on...the food, the service, the beer are all stellar.  We came here on a busy Sunday afternoon during SF Beer Week.  Luckily, there was a spot at the crowded bar to wait for our table.  We decided to get the beer sampler.  As a light beer drinker (I know, right!?!...Rookie...), I was a little hesitant to try the darker beers, but found that "Proving Ground" was quite tasty.  I also loved the clever sampler rack that accompanied the beer.  Cute!

After about a 15 minute wait, we were seated for brunch.  With the many choices on the menu, it was so hard to decide!  Looking at what other patrons were munching on didn't help, either.  We finally decided on the Bread Pudding and Poached Eggs (so savory and hearty, without the feeling of post-brunch heavy regret) and the Quinoa Hash (simple, light, healthy and fresh).  What a yummy and satisfying brunch!

However, I could do without the long wait for our orders.  I think we waited for about half an hour for our food...hence the bit of drunken-ness that overcame us and our empty stomachs.  That being said, I'm still a fan.

I won't say that I'm that into fancy Mexican restaurants because you can find better food at divey taqueria's at better prices, but I WILL SAY that their Fresh Fruit Margaritas are GRRRREAAAAT!  Pair that with some chips and salsa and that's all you really need.  Happy Hour?  Yes.  Dinner?  Meh..not so much...

Call me old, but for the first few minutes in the pit-o'-fun, I felt like I was going to vomit or pass out...Thankfully, the feeling passed and it was so much fun, not to mention a great workout!  

Going with a mid-sized group of people for an hour of play was a great idea, only there was a group of 10-year old boys bouncing around and it made for quite an interesting hour, fearing run-ins with them (again, call me old...).

Eeks...kind of a disappointment.  Maybe it was the pretty desserts in the tempting display case that gave me high hopes?  Sadly, they turned out to be overpriced and bland...wah wah waaaaaah....
