We visited Sushi Ocean on a mid-week evening, and were the only ones in the restaurant that night. This may have contributed to our excellent service, but that's fine by me! After much debating over the extensive menu, we ordered an appetizer of beef tataki, which was delicious, and beautifully presented. We then went with a California Roll, and the Chef's choice of sushi, all delicious. The staff was very attentive, right down to filling drinks and removing empty plates. They also have a large room that can accomodate larger parties, which I will keep in mind. The best part was that it reminded us of a small, highly rated sushi restaurant in San Francisco that we visited on our honeymoon. Ahh, memories!

Mark the Shark, aka Mark Christopher, is one of the best DJ's in the state. In no way stuffy, in no way cheesy, Mark will make your guests cry when he leaves. He is that good! He was our wedding DJ, and we couldn't have found a better choice. He was knowledgeable about every song we mentioned, was very open to any suggestions or requests we had, and was just plain fun to work with. He was very professional on the day of the wedding, and took requests from our guests as well. His prices were very reasonable for any bride on a budget, and he didn't take any shortcuts when it came to making our wedding day perfect!

Park Road Jewelers is one of those that you will likely drive by on your way to one of those stores in the mall. Big mistake! The mall stores really don't care about you or your business. They see dozens of people every day, and only care about making the sale. Park Road Jewelers is a wonderful owner-run store that caters to your needs in a way that only a small shop can. If you need custom work, he can do it. If you are looking for something that he doesn't have on hand, he will find it for you. You can't get that at a chain store. Stop in and see for yourself.

Harry is one of the best DJ's I have seen out there! I was in a wedding recently that he worked, and it was amazing! He prepped the wedding party as to how he would introduce us, kept us comfortable while we waited, and threw in some great jokes to keep the mood uplifted. Once we had the formalities out of the way (like dinner), he had the dance floor packed the entire night! I never once heard a song that made me groan and wish I could change the channel. He handed out glow sticks and had a bubble machine that somehow did not seem out of place at a wedding. Many girls I know have recommended him, and now I know why. He was very professional, but not stuffy. He really does a great job.

With the cost of home heating oil soaring this winter, it's nice to have someone in the neighborhood who keeps reasonable rates without sacrificing service. We have used Curley's for a long time, but were prepared to abandon them for a cheaper price. My husband called several area suppliers, some bigger than Curley's, and they were still the cheapest price around! They have a reasonable minimum delivery, and were at our house within a couple of days. I was impressed, and will continue to use them as our fuel company.

Allusions was the salon I used for my wedding preparations, and they were fabulous! I was nervous enough about the wedding, but they took all my cares away. I had my hair done, which turned out better than anyone had ever been able to do before! I had a manicure and pedicure, which were great, and not like the quick jobs you get in the mall. I have never seen my nails look so good! My last beautifying procedure was the spray tan. I've heard the horror stories of it coming out orange or streaky, but not here! My tech did a wonderful job of applying a nice even coat that worked well with my normally fair skin tone. I looked healthy, not orange.
They do a wonderful job here, and I would recomment them to anyone.

I am not fond of going to the dentist, but Dr. Alexander's office makes it less horrendous. The staff is always warm, and the hygienists are very nice, answering any and all questions you may have. They are very conscientious when it comes to working on your teeth. They will ask if you are comfortable, and if they are hurting you they will ease up. I've been to offices where they really could care less, as long as they get it over with.
Another fun fact about Dr.Alexander's office is that they have a camera/monitor system that enables him to show you on the monitor what he sees. It helps him better explain what he is working on, and puts you at ease to see what he is doing.
I would definitely check into this office if you are uncomfortable with dentists. They make it painless!

I went to Levy Dental for a dental whitening procedure, and wasn't sure what to expect. I do not like dentists in general, but Dr.Levy and his staff make you feel right at home, and very at ease. I love the office, which is very bright and welcoming. While going through the 2 hour + procedure, I was always being monitored by Dr. Levy's staff, making sure that I was comfortable. They also had a small dvd monitor attached to the seat so that I could watch videos while sitting in the chair for long periods of time. It made a long process go by a lot quicker!

The first thing that strikes you about the Raven Wood Curio Shoppe is the design of the building. It's an adorable little wooden house set back behind beautifully designed wooden gates. You feel like you are in a magical village of sorts. Before you even enter there is a garden path highlighting some of the larger items for sale, such as sculptures, gates, fountains, etc. Once inside, be careful, as it is a tiny shop with narrow passages.
There are beautiful things everywhere you look, from suncatchers to jewelry to knick-knacks and cards. It is hard to stop yourself from saying "Ooh, look at this! And this!" Some of the items are pricey, but you will not find anything similar in a department store. If you are looking for one-of-a-kind gifts, this is the place to visit!

This shop was hopping early on a Sunday morning when we stopped in. We figured it would be worth it, based on other people's recommendations. It was. The baked goods in the display looked good enough to eat! We brought home a moose shaped cookie and a huge carob dipped bone cookie for our dog. She was in heaven! The prices were very reasonable, despite being non-commercial products.
Also catching our eye was the wide array of pet related gifts. Mugs, keychains, plaques, flags, etc., were the norm, but they were higher quality than those you find in the average chain pet store.
I would recommend stopping in and taking a look next time you are in the North Conway area.
