I have had my hair done by other hairdressers but never have I had my highligths done the way Bimala did them. I will highly recommend her to others. She is patient, professional, and friendly. Perfection is what she strives for and regardless of whether you want a good hair cut or some great highlights, she is worth a try.

When my mother lived with me, we used to take her car to this place. She is disabled and they would always treat her right. They would often not charge my mom for the little things.
I used to take my 1998 Subaru Outback to the dealer when I lived in NH. Somersworth, NH had the best Subaru Dealership I have ever been to. When I moved to Watertown, I went to the Dealership in Belmont but they were horrible: always had an attitude, always the highest prices, and their repairs often led to more costly repairs in the same area of the car.
So, I decided to take my car to Belmont Auto Clinic after I saw how well they treated my mom. I have had a few high-cost repairs but they were all due and I was not surprised. I called around a bit afterward to compare prices and found that I had been given a good deal. After each repair, I didn't experienced another problem with that part of the car again. It has been 2.5 years since my last repair and my car is still running strong. I have been going to this place for oil changes, inspections and tune-ups ever since.
The technician is always very friendly and appreciative of my business. He will take the time to point out to me anything that looks like it may soon need to be replaced but can wait. He has saved me some money by letting me know what can wait for now and what was really necessary.
This is now the only garage I will go to. I try to give them my refueling business whenever I can as well.
(edited: fixed some typos)
Pros: Quick, thorough, repairs are always final.
Cons: Busy lot. Sometimes no parking.

First I went Sears, then Direct Tire, then Express Tire. The quotes were very different. The tire I needed was quoted $290/each at Direct Tire and $219/each at Express Tire. I needed 4 tires so I obviously went with Express Tire.
They gave me free loaner car and free alignment. Then when I picked up my car, they told me I get a free alignment and balance every 6k miles for FREE. In addition, they fix any flat I get for free as well. This is what I call customer service. I am very impressed!

Went last weekend and - despite the deafening roar (read: pretty loud) we had some of the best appetizers and main courses we've had since we went to Tuscany a few years ago. The hostess was charming and the waitress helped recommend a wine to go with our main course. Overall an unbelievable value - we would have paid a lot more downtown for what we got in the suburbs, and it wouldn't have been nearly as good. Oh - and the desserts! Who makes them? Addictive! We'll be going back.
Pros: Food, service, atmosphere, value.
Cons: Parking can be a zoo, and the place can get VERY noisy (still manages to be romantic)

This is my favorite breakfast place. The blue corn pancakes were my favorite before I tried the potato pancakes!! They are to die for. I just went there for lunch and got the falafel sandwich which was very good. A little soft for my taste but still better than anything else in the area. The owners and waitstaff or friendly and fast. The only down fall is that there is a wait on weekends for breakfast....but they will take your cell phone number so you can go wait in the car and they will call you when your table it ready!

The service here is always terrific and attentive. The restaurant can get very crowded at night with long waits, and the parking lot can be a pain, but it's always a good experience (you can wait at the bar and order from their fun drink menu). One of the highlights of a trip to Joe's is the parmesan cheese with olive oil and pepper that goes along with their yummy bread (it's very hard not to fill up on the bread). Their iced tea is always fresh and delicious. The Devil's Tower dessert (chocolate cake with hot fudge and caramel and ice cream) really is decadent. The pizzas are always good, and they have great specials. The steak tips are very good, and if you supersize them you'll have a great lunch or even dinner the next day. Salads are good, too.

I have used this mechanic for some oil changes. He did an OK job. The service was not very quick. Being in a busy corner in Belmont, the parking is very limited. I also did state inspection for my car here. He charged too much for installing license plate and changing a light.

If you need specialty produce (like ethnic produce such as Chinese vegetables and exotic fruits), this is the place to go. The parking lot is extremely frustrating, but the goods make up for it. They have fresh made pastas, really yummy and reasonably priced pastries, a small but good quality prepared foods section, and the best produce department I know of in the state. During the appropriate seasons, they also have a reasonably priced and fairly well stocked plant and flower nursery. They carry some dairy items (cheeses in particular) that are hard to find elsewhere, but the prices on these are a bit high. They have the best price on fresh figs in the area (half the price of Whole Foods) during their short season in August. They don't have a huge selection of dry foods, but they do have pastas and other goodies.
