William W.'s Profile

The only place I've had better Shawerma is in Berlin.

Food was bad, service was poor, and it made my ass explode.

NO LIKE

BEst coffee in San Francisco, and an added bonus is that they already know what I want when I walk up to the counter.

The owner, Harry Fox, said that he always wants a satisfied customer and will always take care of any problems and he always returns your calls.

I had my 2009 Subaru Forester detailed at this car wash and they damaged the dashboard of my car with some chemical. When I told Mr Fox about it he claimed "there is no way" his shop did it, but after further research I know his shop did it, so I called him and asked for a resolution to the problem.

3 days later, still no return phone call and no resolution to the problem.

This place is HORRIBLE, do not go there.

If I were basing the review only on the location and the view: 5 stars.

But the service: 1 star.

The location is great, although it is a bit hard to find, we managed to drive by the hotel 3 times before finally finding the entrance. The room was nice, it was huge, had a nice bed and a great view. It did smell a bit and the Air Conditioning was horrendously loud.

The pool was nice too.

Now, on to the service, it was terrible from top to bottom, but here's a few highlights.

1. There was only decaf in the room coffee bar.
2. The maids never cleaned our room.
3. The service in the restaurant was insanely slow.
4. You practically had to tackle someone to get a towel at the pool.

This could be a great hotel, but they really need to step up their service, because it's terrible.

After having the worst dealer experience ever at Concord Fiat (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) I almost didn't buy a Fiat at all.

But, after dealing with Joel at Fiat of Fremont, I'm glad I stuck it out because he was honest, professional and didn't try to pull any fast ones on me at all. Not to mention he got me the EXACT car I wanted within 48 hours, color, transmission, everything.

I also have to give props to Carlos in their finance department, he was straightforward and honest and he didn't try to hide any extra fees or "features" in my price.

And even after the sale, Joel has been super helpful.

Don't buy a MINI, buy a FIAT from Joel at Fiat of Fremont, trust me on this one.

If I could give this dealer zero stars, I would. Their business tactics are unethical to the point that it borders on criminal.

1. They promised they could get us a car they didn't have on the lot, but when we asked them to, they did everything they could not to. They took all our personal information before they would even do a search.

2. Once they did the search they LIED that the car we wanted was not available because they tried to sell us one they had. One quick call to another dealer proved that they were lying.

3. They said the best interest rate they could give on a loan was 8% (also a lie) and when they gave us what the payment would be, it was WAY high. I did some research later and found out they were trying to get us to pay 14%

4. Once we walked, they called us and the car we wanted "magically" appeared and the interest rate "magically" went down to 2.9%

Needless to say, we will NOT be buying anything from this dealer and will be filing a complaint with Fiat USA. Show owner comment »

"What's that sound?"

"I dunno, but it's 6am and it doesn't sound good"

As it turns out, our water heater exploded and we were woken up to a flooded basement and a geyser where out hot water heater used to be.

Called Cabrillo because they were the first ones to answer their phone. By 7am they were at our house and starting to work. They also helped us find a company that cleaned up the water damage.

Not cheap, but friendly and professional, and we had hot water by 4pm.

I'd use Cabrillo again. Show owner comment »

We hadn't actually planned to go to Bar Tartine last night, but when the crepe place around the corner couldn't seat us, we ended up here, and I'm glad we did.

First off, Bar Tartine was completely booked, but the host managed to get us a table anyway, which was great.

Our server, Vinny was awesome, he was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the food and the wine. There never was a moment where we felt like we weren't being attended to and when we had questions he always had useful answers. This place should get 5 stars on the service alone.

Now, on to the food...

The only thing I wasn't 100% crazy about was the avocado salad, it was good but too salty. Everything else was great though. My hamburger was excellent and the rosemary fries were like little strings of crack. My wife's peach salad and her pork belly were both delicious and my father in law's steak was perfect, especially with the aioli.

We had a bottle of Dashe Dry Creek Zinfandel which was very nice and a bargain at $39/bottle.

Overall, excellent restaurant and experience, my only complaints were the salty avocado salad and the volume in the restaurant, but those were minor. I highly recommend Bar Tartine!

My wife and I decided to stay at Treebones for 2 nights as our last trip before our daughter is born. Overall we had a pleasant experience, the site is beautiful, the views are amazing, the yurts are spacious and comfortable.

Our complaints are that the one bathroom was too far from our yurt. This is especially important when your wife is 8 months pregnant.

Also, our propane heater went out at 11pm and we had a hell of a time finding anyone who could come fix it. The lodge was all locked up and the only way to get ahold of someone was to call them from the payphone outside.

This is unacceptable when you're paying nearly $200 a night to sleep in a tent.

Also, the sushi was overpriced and not that great.

Overall we liked it, they just need to sort out a few things for it to be perfect.
