I've been going here for a little while now and I gotta say, I love it.  The receptionists are very nice and the assistants are very good.  The dentists and hygienists do a good job and are really open about your options.

Last summer, I had Dr. Wong fix a botched crown from a previous dentist; once the work was complete he told me that it was fine, but that it wasn't perfect and that he wanted to make it perfect at no extra charge.  He made the adjustments and ordered a new crown and put it on a week later, giving me a bestbuy giftcard for my trouble!  Talk about service.

I just got back from there this morning and the trip was great as usual.  I really like this place and recommend it to everyone I know that is looking for a dentist on the Eastside!

Terrible.  Terrible. Terrible.  DO NOT GO HERE, THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF AND SCREW UP YOUR CREDIT.

They sent me to collections over a $38 charge for missing an appointment that I didn't need in the first place.  Basically I had to get a tooth vitality test after an injury (essentially they put ice on your tooth to see if you can feel, it. I can do that at home if I need to, don't need a frickin' doctor to tell me that).  Anyway, I got one and even though the doctor screwed up during the procedure and broke a piece of dry ice off in my mout, I could feel it so the tooth was fine. They still scheduled me for a followup even though I insisted I didn't need one: why pay for them to do a test I can do at home on my own.  Anyway they scheduled it for when I was already going to be at school.  They called me before the appt and left a message, I never called back or showed up.  Never heard from them again.

4 years later I pull my credit report and low and behold they friggin' sent me to collections for a measily $38 for DOING NOTHING!!!!  Now I'm trying to get my otherwise perfect credit report rid of this one blemish because some cheap ass company decided to send me to collections over nothing instead of actually contacting me.

SHAME ON YOU COLUMBIA ENDODONTICS GROUP.  I hope you all need emergency root canals that aren't covered by insurance and the anesthesiologist doesn't show up that day.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Authentic Cheesesteak.  The guy is right outta Philly too.  Just thinking about it now makes me want to drive half an hour to go get one although I usually only am able to indulge when I'm dropping someone off at the airport :(

DELICIOUS!!!

BEST ICE CREAM IN SEATTLE!

It was so good, I went back the next day for more.  Seriously!

When you first walk in, you are greeted by the delicious smell of freshly cooked waffle cones that reminds me of the carnival.  When I went during the day, there was a line, but I didn't mind waiting because the smell was amazing.  It also gave me time to decide what I wanted.

Their selection of flavors is very cool a mix of traditional (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) and some wackier ones (straberry balsamic, salted caramel, honey lavender, cardamom).  I like living on the wilder side a little so the first night I went I had the Salted Caramel.  MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm.....  Delicious caramel with a somewhat strong, but not overpowering salty flavor.  So delicious.

The ice cream was amazing and after the first couple of bites I made my way to the waffle cone.  O M G.  So amazing!  Literally the best I've ever had.  They eve fold it in such a way that the ice cream doesn't drip out when it melts :)

As I hinted, it was so amazing I went back the next day.  The second time I got the cardamom.  It was a very delicious blend of sweet and spicy.

My girlfriend tried the chocolate and vanilla (half scoop of each) on our first visit and the strawberry balsamic the second.  I had a small taste of each and they were all very good.

The two kinds of ice cream I tried were the best two ice creams I've ever had.  I can't wait to go back and try the rest of their flavors.  This is definitely my new place to take visitors to Seattle.  It is in the heart of Wallingford and is seriously amazing ice cream!

I love KJR.  I mean, their coverage of Husky games is great.  Bob Rondeau is awesome for play-by-play calling.  I listen whenever I'm not at the game / it isn't on TV or if I'm in my car while there is pregame/postgame coverage.

The talk portion the rest of the day is nice sometimes too.  Softie is funny and most of the other regulars are pretty good.

Definitely the definitive Seattlesource for sports radio.

Husky Football makes me drool.  I know we suck.  I know the next few years are going to be rough.  But it still makes me drool!  (the drool might be from an excess consumption of alcohol in the E1 parking lot just north of husky stadium though).

If you've never been here for a husky game, you should go. the atmosphere is amazing.  Even when we're terrible (0-12 anyone?).  When we're winning it is one of the best feelings in the world!

Also, it is (I think) the only stadium in the country where you can tailgate on a boat before the game.  Now THAT is cool.

Ended up here last weekend for their Lunch buffet.  It was okay, but the service was pretty bad.  Took them 5 minutes to seat us in a nearly empty restaurant and they never bother bringing the check.  We had to go walk over to the cash register and wave someone down to pay and leave.  They brought naan to the table and that was nice, but other than that the food was just meh.  It was $11/person for a buffet so in that regard it isn't terrible, but I've had much better indian buffets.

Okay, update.  They have a lunch buffet daily from 12:00-2:30 for $10+tax/tip.  Great deal!  All you can eat delicious indian food including Chair and dessert.  It apparently changes daily too.  Sweet!!

    Good food, but a little on the expensive side.  It is really close to my work and is the best food available at night usually so I frequent this place.  I really like Indian food though and this place satisfies my frequent urges.

update:  I went back (this is my girlfriends favorite place) and I really enjoyed it.  I got their special goat cheese ravioli this time and it was delicious.  My girlfriend had the lasagna and it was also very good.  I think I was a little too harsh last time because place really has it all!  Very nice atmosphere, extremely quick, nice and courteous waitstaff and delicious food.  Definitely check them out!

Oh they also had live music which really set the mood for the evening.  It was a little on the loud side because the place was packed on a Sunday night, but the music kept the atmosphere to a romantic level.

    Went here with my girlfriend based on a recommendation from the 'Best Places to Kiss in the Northwest' book she has and it met the expectation.  The food quality was very good.  I had the rabbit and it melts in your mouth.  Prices are up there for the portion size but, that is to be expected in a place like this.  The dessert was so-so.

    Overall, good.  I'm sure there are better Italian places in Seattle though.

Everyone else I was with seemed to really enjoy their meal, but mine was simplye: meh.  I got the drunken crispy chicken and by about bite number 3 I'd had enough of it.  The problem was that was all I'd ordered.  Every bite tasted the same and it left me wishing for variety.

Like I said though, the other 3 people in my party really liked their food and theirs all looked much better than mine.  So while I felt a little gip'd I'd say it probably isn't as bad as my dish let me to believe.

I might be back.
