Papa Haydn serves excellent food and dessert, and the environment of the restaurant is fun and sophisticated. The neighborhood (NW 23rd Ave) is fun, and I think adds to the appeal of the restaurant.
The food is delicious and creative, and you have plenty of options. The desserts, though, are a major draw. The cakes, the panna cotta, anything with chocolate -- Papa Haydn knows their desserts and offers a wide selection.
Expect a bit of a wait on weekends, but the wait is worth it (and save room for dessert!).

We ordered our wedding cake here & we were so pleased with it. We had many compliments on it. It was so moist & delicious. I'm not sure if they still do this, but when we bought our wedding cake 5 years ago, we were given a certificate for a free anniversary cake for our first anniversary! It sure did beat trying to save the top layer.
JaCiva not only makes wedding cakes, but delicious chocolates and truffles as well. They are a bit expensive, but isn't it worth it to splurge on yourself every so often?

I will never ever recommend this place to anyone. When I went here looking for a dress they were nothing but rude to me. I didn't have a crap load of money to spend which can become a problem when looking at dresses. Some bridal shops don't like dealing with people on a budget and this is definitely one. The location is good but can be a problem getting to it if your driving.

I've visited Piece of Cake with my lady friends from time to time for special birthdays...we all go in, pretend that cake has no calories (after all, the cakes are so light to the touch that they can't add any pounds...right?) and then lament that we couldn't try them all.
Then I met Natasha. NOW I know the secret to Piece of Cake...Natasha. She's one of the decorators there. Natash is a mousy Slavic woman who guards secrets and works to create decorations to perfection. She's not the owner, she's just an employee...and when an employee is that devoted, it's got to be good! From now on, when I go in, I only want the cakes that Natasha has made...her cakes take the cake!

Awhile back my daughter and I went a wee bit insane (ok, so the insanity started long before that!) and decided to make some extra bucks as balloon clowns.
In due dilligence, I researched the web and local outlets for balloons and balloon supplies and found that Lippman's had by far the best prices on the West coast!
Once in the store, I discovered that even as their prices were the best, so is their selection.
For shapeable balloons, they have the biggest range of sizes and colors. Their accessory supplies are also superior and manual inflating tools tend to last longer than brands I've bought elsewhere.
Additionally, Lippman's has a great range of party supplies!

I am in love with this bakery. I had an emergency and needed to stop and get a cake for a party I was going to. I decided to try this place out because it was on my way and boy am I happy I did. They were so nice and helpful. I had a ton of questions and they were patient with me and answered all my questions. The cake they suggested was good. The price was also very reasonable. I got my cake and left. I had a lot of compliments on the cake and would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

My fiancé and I loved the facility, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. However we were treated with a lack of respect. Neither of us has have ever been treated in such an unprofessional manner. For that price you would think that customer service would be their top priority, however we found the all important dollar is what concerns them the most. We were treated like a funding resource rather than a bride and groom.
My advice would be to create the wedding of your dreams somewhere else, I spent my life dreaming of my wedding day, and I thought this place was it…I was regrettably mistaken.

I went here thinking it was a used dress only store and that I would try on a wedding dress in the style that I was thinking of before ordering online. To my delight, I met Chris and received fabulous personal attention, honesty and assistance. I had priced the dress of my dreams and decided that my dreams had to be altered. I ended up buying the first dress that I tried on here (though there were 7 others for me to try in the style I liked), received honest input from the staff on what looked best on me and was able to order the dress (new) in my size. Please check here if you are a bride to be and make sure you check here first!

The Queen Anne Victorian Mansion is a beautiful three story mansion. It is available for weddings which take place under a huge outside gazebo that seats 200. Wedding guests are able to tour the mansion and seating is set up on the beautiful lawn and garden area. At night the trees are lit up with tiny white twinkling lights for a very romantic setting. The Queen Ann Mansion also has tours available to the public at Christmas to view the lights and decorations.
