My kids & I LOVE Pon Proem. It's our favorite place to eat or order take out on the Island. Dependable great service, friendly staff, and affordable to eat at often. The owners are also very nice and have sometimes sent us home with free dishes to try!
We're vegetarian, and varied veg food is difficult to find locally, but Pon Proem will make just about anything we want veg, no problem!
Pros: Fast, clean, professional, friendly, affordable

I was shocked to see the negative review and complaint about the writer's elderly relative being overcharged. My own experience with Rudy's was outstanding. My outdoor faucet would not shut off. It was late at night and I called the fire department to ask how I could shut it off. They came out and also could not turn it off, but were able to stop the water flow by using a pistol-grip hose nozzle. They told me I would need a plumber because this was a broken valve inside a wall. The next morning I called several other plumbers. None could come until late in the day. When I called Rudy's they dispatched a plumber quickly. He arrived at my home in less than an hour. He confirmed that this was a broken valve in the wall and that he would need to cut into the wallboard to repair it. He replaced the valve and completed the entire job in a very short period of time. After I paid him what I considered to be a more than reasonable fee, he asked me if I would like him to put the wall board back in place. Since I had guests arriving shortly, I told him that would be appreciated. He put the cut piece of wall board back in place as a temporary fix, and then moved a piece of furniture so that it would not be visible. Today we had another plumbing situation arise. When my husband called Rudy's they did some great fact finding and determined that it was not something they deal with. They could easily have sent a plumber out and charged us to tell us we needed to call someone else, but they were able to determine this over the phone at no charge. We truly appreciated their honest approach.

I enjoy just going to Island Books to look around. They have a surprisingly great selection of books. They look much smaller than what is actually there. Plus it's a neighborhood bookstore rather than a large chain.

I think it's funny when people expect a high end dining expirience from a "mom n pop". Yes, I'll agree -the service is generally lousy. -Can you really expect a 5-star expirience from a few spoiled high school kids? The food is one of kind, and when it comes to flavor (isn't that what we're really lookin for?), few come close. I have lived away from Washington for the last 15 years. Wanna know what the first thing I want, when I come back to visit, is? This place has been in business forever! All of my 35 years, anyway... In a town where a lousy resraurant gets pushed out as fast as they come in. Roberto's IS, by definition, comfort food at it's finest. If you like your coffee from Starbucks, get your pizza from Domino's. Leave these little gems to those of us who can appreciate them. Oh, and always make sure to ask for the dressing on the side. ;^)
Pros: Comfort, Warmth, Food, Flavor, Environment and OH MY GOD, The Garlic Bread!
Cons: Service, Service and Service

I was surprised to see negative feedback for Rudy's Plumbing. I lived in the Seattle area for a very long time. I called on Rudy's for all my plumbing needs. They're courteous, dependable and honest. I would recommend Rudy's to anyone looking for plumbing assistance, whether it be a large job or a small one... Expect to get high quality work at a fair market price!

It is by far the best teriyaki on the island. They give you so much food for the relatively cheap price. Their Gyoza plate is one of the best items on the menu. You can also tell that the food is freshly cooked when you order it. Don't be discouraged by its small size. It's Delicious!!

First of all, this review has nothing to do with Gayle McElroy as an attorney, it has to do with her as a person. I can only assume that she carries the same high level of honesty and integrity over to her professional environment, as in her personal life.
A couple days ago, while in Seattle for the weekend, I came out of a restaurant to find that my vehicle had been hit and damaged extensively, most likely by a vehicle backing out of the space next to min. My immediate reaction was complete horror as I am not in a position financially to pay for repairs, insurance deductables, and higher insurance rates right now.
I was relieved to find a note attached to the windshield of my vehicle. It was simply a scrap of paper with a phone number on it, signed by "Gayle" stating she'd hit my vehicle. My initial reaction was to not trust this "Gayle" person who had so rudely hit my car, and I demanded that our insurance companies handle the claim.
"Gayle" calmly assured me over the phone that she had every intention of holding herself accountable and indeed wanted to pay for the damage to my vehicle out of her own pocket. I reluctantly gave her the opportunity to do that and the following morning I went to two Seattle area body shops and recieved estimates.
I phoned "Gayle" with the information and she agreed to give me cash that morning. She suggested I meet her at a restaurant in Bellevue. An hour later, I was at that restaurant, sitting across from Gayle McElroy. Ms. Mcelroy apologized for damaging my vehicle and handed me the exact amount of cash agreed upon, plus enough to rent a vehicle while mine gets repaired. She even bought breakfast for my girfriend and me!
Integrity means doing the right thing even when you could get away with not doing it, and no one would know. It's about holding yourself to a standard and keeping yourself honest, not for the benefit of others, but because it's right.
Ask yourself if you would have been tempted to "just drive away". Gayle McElroy didn't.

I have been his patient for 3 years.
I had really bad experiences with my last three GYN.
Dr. Flake did my surgery and he did miracle. He has so much knowledge, talent and experience and more importantly he cares a lot about his patient. Unfortunately, not many doctors do so.
I will do anything to support him so that he gets his license back.
I lost my nephew of doctor's negligent. A doctor like Flake is very rare.
