Courtyard by Marriott  

4 star rating
 12/22/2009   First to Review
Stayed here three nights Dec 18-21, 2009. Rooms were really clean and quiet.  Bed was comfy with a huge nest of pillows.  Had a mini-fridge and HBO.  

I suppose my only complaint is that the breakfast buffet isn't free.  It's pretty standard stuff, but runs $8-12 depending on if you want a cold or hot food selection.  Walking distance from a couple of fast food joints, but nothing "nice".  The Big Buck Brewery next door is closed down.

I would stay here again.

Sergio's Lawn Service

 Update - 11/3/2009  
I'm still using Sergio's after all these months.  Their friendly and do everything I would expect.  I still really dig that they work on a flat hourly rate so I can decide how much I want to spend per job.

    They guys from Sergio's Lawn Service came out to clean up my yard this morning.  The weeds had been getting a bit out of hand.

    I liked that they gave me a flat, hourly rate rather than an expensive quote for the whole job.  That let me decide how long I wanted them to work and stay within my budget.  The rate was for a three-man crew and they worked efficiently and quickly.  

    I'm going to be contacting them to come back on a biweekly cleanup basis.  If everything goes well, I may have to round my review up to 5 stars!

I had a lovely Maui Massage last night at Hawaiian Experience Spa.  It's a really beautiful facility and everyone was very friendly.  

I was given a cozy robe and sandals to change into and escorted to my room.  The ambiance was perfect (I got to chose my preference of scented oils) and the massage itself felt wonderful.  Afterward, I was shown to the waterfall shower-room (very cool) where I could rinse off.

Thanks Yelp for getting me such a great deal on a relaxing evening of pampering.  I loved every moment of it!

This ended up being one of my favorite meals while I was in town.  I had a big satisfying Greek salad and a basket of vegetarian spinach & artichoke toasted ravioli!  

Be still, my beating heart!

Seriously though, if you're a vegetarian (or anyone, for that matter) stop in and get some delicious t-ravs!

I love Llywelyn's!   It's casual and welcoming.  I can get Hardcore cider on tap and stuff my face with freshly baked soft-pretzels and gooey potato chips.  If I lived in town, I bet I would come here once a week... it's a great place to chill.

(I wish they sold shirts with their wicked dragon logo so I could take home a souvenir!)

I'm not sure what to say that hasn't already been said.  The City Museum is amazing and my favorite St. Louis attraction.  

Whether you're a kid or adult, be prepared to climb, crawl, slide, shimmy and squiggle to explore every inch of this fantastic museum.

If you're in town, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Diva's Kitchen

 5/29/2009   First to Review
It seems like Diva's Kitchen is suffering from an identity crisis... and that makes me sad.  I've been in for lunch a handful of times, and every time it's a different menu.

Diva's Kitchen serves salads, sandwiches and wraps.  They used to have an extensive list of toppings and it was up to you to customize your meal.  I guess some people found the list of choices confusing, but I liked it.  Now it's just a regular menu... and it's gotten more expensive.

As a vegetarian, I love a place I can get a nice fresh salad, but at $7 + chips a drink and tip... you're looking at a $10 lunch.  Now why would that be the case when they have a sign-holder out on the street corner advertising a meal for $3?  It just doesn't add up.  :(

Loving Hut

5 star rating

If the opening of a new vegetarian restaurant is cause for me to celebrate, just imagine how happy I was after I tasted the food!

Jeremy and I checked Loving Hut on Friday for dinner.  It's a really cute place, spotlessly clean and the staff is very sweet and helpful with suggestions.

I had the steak sandwich (one of their chef's choice dishes) and it was great!  The steak itself was delicious, served on crusty french bread with crisp marinated veggies.  I had a beautiful orange-cranberry juice drink called the Orange Joy as well.  Mmmmm!

I can't wait to go back again this week and try something new.  Everything looks great and I'm so pleased to have a veggie place on the north side of town.

I wanted to modify my review to reflect how expensive their service is.  You are paying for top-quality service, but their quotes are hundreds of dollars more than the price you could pay someone else.  Since my first review, I've shopped around and found much better deals elsewhere.

    I had these guys out to do a one-time yard cleanup and to trim up some trees.  I'm very satisfied with their work.  

    They are more expensive than some of the other companies I've tried, but you are paying for a professional experience, not just some sketchy dude and his pickup.  Simply for the fact that they made an appointment and arrived on time means a lot to me.

    They worked quickly and efficiently, followed directions and there was always a fluent English-speaker available.

    I would not hesitate to recommend them.

San Gabriel Mexican Café  

Category: Mexican

3 star rating
 3/11/2009  
Good but not great.  The fella and I went to San Gabriel last night for an early dinner.  We sat out on the patio and noshed on delicious chips and salsa while we waited for our veggie burritos.  The burritos were really good, filled with an assortment of veggies like carrots, zucchini, potatoes and cabbage.  Much nicer than the standard peppers & onions found in most veggie burritos.  Huge portions too.

A few disappointments...
- the menu at the restaurant was significantly different than the one online and didn't have the helpful "V" for vegetarian symbols next to the dishes
- they don't serve horchata any more
- the standard Spanish rice is not vegetarian, so we had citrus rice, which was kinda weird
