For Cardiff locals and more, Zenbu is a touch of trendy downtown in our little sleepy seaside town. Really great sushi dishes and exotic rolls. It's not cheap but you do get what you pay for. This small intimate setting fills up quickly on any given night. Come early or arrive late and hang out at the bar where other cool and hip locals spend their evenings. Yummy, yummy, yummy sushi....did I mention that?

HealthWalk is an integrative health and wellness center that offers customized, non-invasive support and therapies that allow you to help yourself towards a path to total wellness. The center incorporates leading edge technologies, services, supplements and products backed by over 20 years of research that lead to amazing results. The path to wellness is based on detecting and removing harmful bacteria, parasites, fungus, heavy metals and microplasms that block the body from being the super machine that it is. This place is really helping me become balanced but they have also helped austistic children, stroke patients, ADHD children and adults, and injured people through their Nuero Stimulation Sound Therapies. Dr. Dennis Maness rocks by the way. This place is truly the way to go for the future of healthcare.

On a Saturday night this place was packed with 20 somethings in groups of girls and boys. Everyone seemed to be having a grand old time. The vibe was LAish and the service way cool like the East Village in NYC. You can actually eat after 9pm here. I believe they serve dinner until 11pm and then it goes to the bar food menu which isn't that bad except that the prices go up for the Sweet Potato Fries. Not sure why but I guess at this point you would have had a few fancy cocktails in your tummy making the menu rather funny. Generally a happy place with Tiki-esq decor. The doorman was very nice and treated my posse to a drink each. We liked that!

Marrakesh definitely has a cool vibe but the food is not as great as it should be. I grew up on great Moroccan food while living in NYC and the food here was average. The experience is unique but the Moroccan inspired decor appeared worn and shabby. I was hoping to sit on cushions on the floor but instead it featured loungy seating around low to the ground round tables. I just think this place would shine if they upgraded their menu to feature more exotic dishes done in the true Moroccan vain. The portions are also way too big. After all the appetizers I couldn't even get to my dinner.

I did have a fabulous glass of champagne topped with a pink liquor that I can't spell. The glass of mint tea at the end was a nice touch.

The people are nice, but the service was just okay as well. The belly dancer was beautiful but she was tall and skinny without a belly. Not the best I've seen.

This by far is the best tasting greasy spoon taco joint that I have ever been to. No frills, ugly decor, uncomfortable seating but fabulously delicioso!!!! The menu is limited and they only serve meat from cows and one dish from a pig called Tacos de Adobada which is so yummy I went back for seconds. The Tacos de Asada were just as tasty and the cheese in the quesadillas is excellent. We couldn't figure out what it was but something similar to mozzarella.

It is so worth the trip to Chula Vista. Each taco costs $1.75. They don't serve burritos or fish so don't go if you are a vegetarian. I only wish I had brought back a dozen to take with....

Great spa and great feel but very expensive. You can get just as good of a massage if you visit one of the boutique day spa places in Encinitas or Solana Beach. There are quite a few and some really good ones to boot.

They don't pay their staff accordingly so I don't like to visit that often; only when someone buys me a spa treatment there. My birthday is coming up in less than a month so I would happily accept your present. The heavens know I could use a good day at the spa....

The view is spectacular but I do believe they (I'm not sure who they is) should post other symbols alongside the cross to represent other religions and spiritual groups. Why hasn't anyone thought of this? There is a universal religious symbol that would complement the cross splendidly. Just a thought.....

This store definitely has it's good points and bad points. There are some items here that you can't get anywhere as they are catered to this chain. In particular, my snowboard boots. They absolutely rock and none of the specialty shops had anything similar by this brand (Solomon). The price was right as well.

Of course I had very little help as there were very few sales people around but I managed to find what I needed. They also have promotions and some how I got a 10 percent discount to boot for being a frequent shopper. I had only visited the store I believe two times before so go figure. They even called me as I recall to tell me of my discount. Very strange indeed.

I realize this is a chain restaurant but this particular location deserves five stars just based on friendliness and excellent service. They accommodated me with an unknown number of around 20 people for a child's b-day party and they simply rocked. You cannot make reservations here but we showed up in advance and put our name in a the door and they worked it out and served us well.

The pizza is really tasty as well.
