Came here one evening for a graduation dinner toward end of May '09 w/ large group of 14+ folks, & actually had pretty damn good customer service! RSVP was for 8pm & surprisingly enough most family members & friends came on time (w/ the exception of like 4-5 peeps). Nonetheless, we had about 2-3 servers checking in on our entire party throughout the course of our meal...polite, thorough, & pleasant was the service we got considering it was a busy evening for this staff w/ another large group dinning in close by in addition to their normal "dinner crowd". Ok, this place was very busy last night & I say the servers, cooks, & rest of the staff was doing a great job maintaining customer service!
Now onto the food...it was deeeelicious of course! I've yet to go to an Elephant Bar & be displeased w/ food & drinks, but if I ever do, u'll see my review ;-) Me & bf went "non-alcoholic" this time w/ Mango-Raspberry Swirl & Pineapple Freeze both good, but I'd recommend the M-R Swirl ;-) Nachos Appetizer for both ends of the table pleased everyone as a starter. Then my Shrimp and Chicken Jambalaya w/ Brown Rice arrived...my palate & my tummy was pleased yet once more. Actually I prob wouldn't have mind more cheese bread to saap up my jumbalaya juice...yeeah, daddy taught his lil' girl to get a piece of bread & get all that goodness up from a plate (LOL). Only ate half; other half came home w/ us & we've got some garlic cheese bread in the fridge anywho =p Back to the dinning experience, our cousin ordered the Big "E" Sliders... these lil' suckers are NOT lil' actually...just a step down from a the size of McD's Cheeseburger. Overall everyone was pleased w/ their meals!
This area gets A LOT of foot traffic due to other vendors in the area (AMC Theater, Cold Stone, CPK, PFChangs, Barnes & Noble, Tea Cake Bakeshop, IKEA, & more). Large garage parking area ($2/2hrs I recall)...option to pay vending machine b4 u go back 2 ur car or pull up to guy/gal in toll upon garage exit & pay them. Plenty of other restaurant shops to check out and/or shop around. As far as this E-Bar tho, we had an overall good time w/ each other, food, service, & location!
Pros: Outdoor seating, lively bar area w/ flat screens, & spacious
Cons: No vendors in shopping area validates garage pking ticket

More
arizmendi is a great pizza place that serves one type of vegetarian pizza a day, and that type changes each day depending on ingredients in season. (this is much like the more popular cheeseboard in berkeley--in fact, if you've been there, you notice that it's practically the same thing in emeryville). for some reason, i like cheeseboard a little more (i still really like this place), and i don't know if it's psycholigical.
they tend to have more sweet type breads compared to cheeseboard, and i've found that their pizza slice size is pretty non-consistent. one time, i went with a friend for lunch, and my slice was literally half the size of hers, even though we paid the same price.

Pamir is my favorite of the EmeryBay food court scene. They always give you a huge helping, and let you try samples of the various curries and the chicken kebobs.
They are also very helpful and polite, and you end up with a feeling that they really appreciate your business.
When you get tired of plain old mushy Indian food, give Pamir a try!
PROS: Big helpings, Delicious Curries.
CONS: Its a food court restaurant. - Find your own table, etc.

When I walked into this Circuit City, there were no greeters and as I walked around the store it felt like the shelves had not been stocked and none of the employees bothered to see if I needed any help. I will say that the store seemed very clean. The layout of the store also adds to the confusion of trying to find like complimentary products that are normally right next to each other. This store is located in a bad spot with no parking unless you want to walk half a mile. Still this is a Circuit City and the quality of there inventory is very good and you know that you are buying from a reputable brand when shopping at Circuit City.

This was the first CPK I have ever been to and when I went with my friend, we ordered so many pizzas we did not know what to do with them... except eat them all. =) This chain has actually warmed up to me the past few times I went. The wait may be long at times, and sometimes waiting outside might be a bit chilly, but it is certainly worth it, especially if you are hungry. The drinks are expensive, so I recommend sticking to water. There are a lot of seatings, from the window seats in the front, to the seats by the bar (if you do not want to wait for a table), and to the seats in the far back. The service is great too.

Can't get enough office supplies? I know there are supply-philiacs out there - I'm one of them. I can spend hours at at an office supply store. This one in Emeryville just opened up recently so it's nice and new, the shelves are fully stocked, there are a lot less people, and it's cleaner than the other office supply place down the street. The only thing I didn't like about my last trip here were all the distracting yellow sale flags every where.
