It is really funny - 99cent stores have been upgraded to a $1.25 Dollar Quarters :) Well, even though their stuff is 26 cents more expansive - it is nice to have a store like that nex to your home. you can buy supplies there like paper plates, plastic wear without spending a fortune at albertsons or safeway. it is located on edwater next to albertsons so whenever albertson does not have an item on sale - i check out $1.25 Dollar Quarters

Bay Area's BEST Optometrist and absolutely courteous and resourceful staff !
They spend time with you in anyway possible and their time frame estimates are right on the money!
If I wasn't WOW'ed - I would not currently have over 10 pairs of new eyeglasses for my daily choice of eyeglass / wardrobe selection of the day.
If I did not feel like welcome'd , it's understable since if you are swamped with clients, they take it one at a time , right on time for pickups .
Signed,
Guy who will own 30 pairs by Chistnas 2008.
The staff ad the DR are very accomodating - got selections, insurance is accepted (case to case ) of course, just like being in HEAVEN with Red A. while in the Boston game.

231 Ellsworth is an excellent choice whether you are dining with just one other, or hosting a large party of 25. I have taken numerous friends, associates, and clients to 231 Ellsworth and never been dissapointed. The food is always creatively and preferectly prepared. The menu changes with the season and there is always something new and interesting to try. A great place to dine.

My husband and I finally had a chance to dine here last week. Everything was incredible! We got there early, but had a chance to look at the menu in the window. They were not 100% ready at 5:30, but invited us in and got started on our drinks while they lit the candles on the tables. Inside it's a romantic setting with cozy booths lining the walls and tables arranged where you didn't feel cramped at all. They promtly brought out fresh, hot bread and room temp butter (thank you!). As we started on the break and cocktails, they checked on if our drinks were ok and the waiter soon took our oder. Although warned that the tuna was served pretty rare, I ordered it anyway, and was very embarrassed to ask them to cook it more. The waitress totally knew what I was going to ask as she came to our table. When my plate did return, it was the most incredible tuna that I have had...period. The fish was so tender yet cooked al the way through (tough with tuna), stacked on top of delicious mustard greens (although I don't eat veggies, not one leaf was left on my plate), and lay in a coconut sauce that was like liquid heaven! Before our main entrees were ready, the chef sent out samples of thinly slices fish drizzled with oil, a strawberry soup of some type, and a sample of yet another cold soup. My husband's pork dish was great too: moist slices of pork over a great sauce. The service was great too. At least 5 people served us at one point or another during our visit. Although we did just pop in during the middle of the week, I would highly recommend reservations. I can see how a place like this can easily and quickly establish regulars no matter what day of the week. The price was a bit more than a casual dinner, but worth every single dollar especially if you go there for an occassion. We will most definitely return (and this time I will consider the waiter's suggestion about the fish...still feel terrible!) Enjoy!
Pros: service, food, and atmosphere
Cons: $$, no mixed drinks

I hear many people complain about how crowded this place can be, and that the employees are not very friendly. Personally, I have never had any of these problems. The fact that I work out usually around 11 pm to midnight may have some bearing, but there is a reason why it's open 24 hours. If you don't enjoy the crowds during peak hours, you can go any other time you want.
The men's locker room (I haven't been in the women's room, although I'd... uhh, never mind) is in an odd configuration, but very spacious; the weights are set up in a user-friendly, easily accesible manner; and parking is ample. The two floor layout also gives it more character, and makes it more high end looking than the typical former supermarket shell most other 24 Hour Fitnesses are housed in.
The time when I go, it is completely dead, so I can't speak for the amount of meatheads or "scenery" on the premises, but if you are like me, someone who likes to work out in peace, this place is awesome during the not so busy hours.
Dumbbells and plates weigh the same here as anywhere else, so stop your whining, and get pumped up!

My cousin is a member of 24 hour fitness and I went with her to a step class on Saturday. I like this particular 24 Hour Fitness because the people arearelly nice and all of the machines are kept clean. I decided to get the 10 day pass and visit the gym to see if I like it. I did not end up getting a membership, but I do occasionally go with my cousin (free pass) to the Saturday step classes. They are really great classes. Very enjoyable.

If you normally cheer at a television set alone, this is a good place to view over a burger and onion rings. They are a sports bar, but they also have lots of seated tables, and people come to eat not just to drink. People come to stay a while, and it's a friendly place. You can join a table, or be seated at the bar. There are several televisions at various angles so nobody has to struggle to see. The food is basic grill fare, but quality and filling.
