I am sitting here reading some/all of these ratings and the negative ones are catching my eye mainly. The folks that have made it through the assessments (as long as they are!) and paid for the days of boarding or is it daycare? whatever; to make it to the goal of having your dog introduced in the group of loving and fun animal play groups forever have reached the big picture and can understand what it's all about. For all the others bitching about their dogs being scrutinized for their attitude in a play area- it's for a good reason! Would you want your dog punked by another's dog with a bad attitude that slipped through the door if they didn't check it out first? It is for a reason that the dogs are checked out first- to prevent fighting later- everything is calm in the pack or it can get ugly fast if it wasn't checked.Secondly, the doors aren't left up at night! My assessment was at 6:00pm and at 6:30pm those doors went down like clock work and I also got a tour of the facility's and ALL the rooms in the back have raised beds so the dogs are off the floor. I was told in person and in print to bring my own beds, toys, and jackets if nec. So you are very mistaken! Plus, They get a nap mid day if you ask for it, walks if you ask, and kongs stuffed with PB at night so quit your bitching if you don't know ask! I was told all of this up front.It is an expensive place I agree but I feel it's worth it, my dog is happy, socialized, and tired. There ALWAYS is someone there with him; 2 in the day and 1 at night with the video cam mid day to watch him. Thank you Happy Hound!!

This place is so good. Yummy, I love their barbeque chicken and be sure and get some bananna pudding. Man, I am getting hungry thinking about it. You don't eat here though you get it to go although one time I couldn't wait and ate my chicken in my car. I like their spicey sauce too. This is the best barbeque I have had in the bay area!
Pros: delicious barbeque and sides, desserts and the sauce three to choose from
Cons: Must get it to go!

My husband and I love visiting Ikea in Emeryville, and much of our home is currently adorned with Ikea wares. The store is enormous, and carries a huge selection of kitchen wares, lighting and gardening supplies, and of course, furniture, among other items! And the prices can’t be beaten.
On the downside, it can be hard to find parking, despite the fairly recent addition of the multi-level parking garage onsite. And most of the time, the store is extremely crowded! In fact, if you stand still, you can frequently feel the floor moving under the weight of all of the shoppers. And naturally, you get what you pay for, so you can’t expect Ikea furniture to last for more than a few years of heavy, regular use (though I have a pair of Poang chairs that are still in excellent shape 5 years after I bought them).
This Black Friday, take advantage of their sale prices on several items, including Magiker Bookcase Lighting for just $12.99. But definitely get there as early as possible, since the parking lot will most likely already be a zoo by the time the doors open!

Tucked away down Doyle street is the greatest little restaurant. First of all there is always parking. They own a little parking lot across the street you can use. From the moment you walk into this restaurant you are greeted with smiles and warmness. I've been there at least a dozen times and every thing is delicious. They buy all their produce at the local farmers market, and hand make all their salad dressings. All the salads are tasty. I especially love the Creole omlet, chorizo sausage scramble and smoke salmon scramble. Everything is reasonably priced. My only complaint is they don't serve dinner and close at 2 pm. Try them out, you'll love them.

They have everything you could ever want in a pet store at the absolute best prices. Even though it's a bit out of the way, we always stop there to pick up some greenies or bully sticks for my dog because they're so cheap compared to elsewhere. They even have premium dog and cat food too so you can actually afford to pamper your pet!

My kids thought they walked into heaven the first time I brought them here. They're both open minded foodies who love to try new things. Their favorite is the Afghani food with the chicken kebobs and tofu curry. The fact that everyone pretty much shoves samples in your face doesn't hurt in their eyes either. Since there are steam tables everywhere, you can have your food within a matter of minutes. My personal favorite has to be the gyros. They pack a ton of gyro meat into a pita with fresh veggies and yogurt sauce and the fries there are almost always perfectly crisp. Don't go there expecting gourmet food, but do go there for the experience!
Pros: quick, cheap, great selection
Cons: some places are cash only, can be hard to find seating during weekday lunches

She met with us twice before the wedding to go over the details which made things stress free on the wedding day despite the fact that the bride was running late. She was very personable, easy going but firm which was critical on a stressful day. She got some great photos without getting in people's way. She put the proofs in very nice albums (both formals and casuals) and the arrangement was perfect so it became our official wedding album and saved us a lot of time. We decided to go with all digital photos and bought the DVD of all the photos - some of which she converted to black-and-whites that looked really cool. We did it so we could reprint some of the photos and send them with our thank you notes. On top of all this, the price was very reasonable.

When I walk into the Emeryville BestBuy I am in heaven- and not just because of the incredible DVD utopia, but because of the sweet, young, hot employees. Very few ugly girls working there. And they are so nice and attentive. Yum!!!
Interesting fact: Many girls conduct escort services out of the Hotel next to the store. It is filled with prostittutes and overseen by their pimps. Most of these girls can be found in the back of a Gardian or Eastbay Express paper.
PROS: Hella DVDs to choose from with great prices.
CONS: If you don't get the DVD on release the price goes up. =(

The staff has always been very helpful and nice to customers. I went there for a school project and found more than I needed in the vast selection. I even got more ideas just looking through the isles at the various products. My only complaint is that it's not well merchandised for the quality of the products. It's a bit too misc. to find exactly what you want easily.
