This is an excellent Thai place, one of the few in the Bay Area that makes you carefully consider ordering something really spicy. Their 3-star is what most places call 5-star. If you like fresh and like it spicy, this is a great place.
Pros: Fresh, fresh, fresh!

Get your bowling shoes and put on your best goofy shirt, it's time to head out to Albany Bowl, Albany's coolest retro bowling alley!
Walking into the Albany Bowl is like a walk back in time. From the old neon lights on the outside of the building to the grungy bar inside, Albany Bowl is like a trip into a 70's movie.
They even have the pro shop where you can purchase a "glitter ball" and pom pom socks!
The food at Albany Bowl is particularly good for a bowling alley. They have Thai food, but they also have the regular greasy spoon items as well, such as chili cheese fries.
They have league nights and the infamous "rock and bowl" with loud music and black lights for the disco generation.

My family and I have been eating here since 1996 and have slowly discarded all other restaurants from our list. It is simply because Mangia Mangia's food is always superlative. It is fresh, creatively prepared, beautifully presented. The portions are just right. The service is almost always exactly what it should be: attentive without being hovering; responsive without being impatient; warm without being intrusive. And the atmosphere combines a feeling of family with a kind of European understated elegance that makes every dinner we have had there a special experience. We cannot recommend it too enthusiastically!!

Cafe Raj is always hopping, especially on weekend nights. We usually do take-out, but when we go to pick up our food, the place is usually packed full of casual diners (families seem welcome). The food is really good -- good enough for us to make this our regular Indian food place. They use all white meat chicken (what we usually get) and their sauces seem less greasy and more healthy than other places. Very occasionally, the white meat chicken is a bit dry. Cheese naan is delicious.

My husband and I recently began dining at Lalime's on a regular basis because the experiences we have had have been so stellar. We began by taking friends and clients there for special occasions but learned that our favorite spot was the bar, where you can get the whole menu plus the friendliness and helpfulness of the two main bartenders, Stacy and John. We love the crab cakes, caesar salad, main duck dish and the soups are always fantastic. The whole staff is very accommodating and makes every meal we have there always special.
Pros: quality of food, friendliness of staff, good crowd

This is one of the best fish stores around. They have a great selection of very healthy fish. This is the only fish store (to my knowledge) that quarantines all of its fish before it puts them out for sale, so you are pretty much guaranteed to not bring home some nasty disease to your tank. They generally carry all of the usual suspects, as well as surprising you with some very unsual species once in a while. They also have one of the best selections of freshwater plants around.
The big downside to this store is that it's cramped and kind of scary. The floors sag in spots and it's very dark. But--the fish are in great health, and they almost always have very helpful, knowledgable staff here.

VIsiting Face Magic for a facial is like taking a brief, restorative vacation. A soothing setting, subdued music and aestheticians with gifted hands make every visit a treat. I started going to Face Magic when I turned 40 in order to feel confident that I was doing the most I could for my skin. I've been a loyal patron for 16 years. Enough said!
