I have never been to a restaurant where there is actually advertising in the menu. Perhaps it's because the menu at Cheesecake Factory is so comprehensive. Portions are huge and the cheesecake is fabulous. Just be aware of long waits during prime time. The tables turn over quickly and there is both inside and outside seating, but it can take over an hour for a table during prime time. Reservations not accepted.

There is a new game in town when it comes to dessert. We just attended a tasting preview at Heaven Sent Desserts in North Park (corner of University and 30th).. Yumm! The chocolate raspberry cake is so yummy. The interior is comfortable with lots of tables. The owner was friendly and working the tables to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Definately worth checking out. Great desserts without all the pretention of some other San Diego dessert places.

It's a buffet, what can you say. The salad selection is usually decent and fresh, but the entree sides are a bit on the salty side and are usually higher fat items. The soft serve icecream is ok,...
It's a buffet, what can you say. The salad selection is usually decent and fresh, but the entree sides are a bit on the salty side and are usually higher fat items. The soft serve icecream is ok, but nothing to write home about. This is a good place for families or when you have a group with a large appetite and a small wallet. You can find coupons in the Sunday paper too, if you are a real bargin hunter.

This place is always a bit on the crazy side with kids celebrating birthdays and familys out for a fun evening. As kitchy and silly as it is, it's still the spot for a darn good milkshake. The meatloaf is good. It can be a bit loud inside, definately not the place to go if you are hoping for a quiet date. Parking can be a bit tough. After a meal here, stroll around Hillcrest for some window shopping.

So, in life there are Target people and there are Wal-Mart people. We are Target people. Good prices everyday, but we tend to score great deals on the clearance stuff. We buy most of our general household cleaning items here ans well as pet care. Clothing is of decent quality for the price, and we shop the racks for basics like tees. Avoid the $1 Spot unless you want to end up dropping $10 on a bunch of imported crap. Checkout lines move pretty smoothly.

Okay. The prices are great, but it always looks like a disaster. Clothes falling of the hangers, racks overflowing, shoes splayed out across the floor, and kids running amock. Now, if you can put all that aside, there are some great deals to be had for the entire family. Kitchen ware and stationary items are consistently good and in stock. Shoes are in scattered sizes. Avoid on the weekends though, as it can be an absolute zoo!

Anza Borrego is a great escape from San Diego. We like to come out here for weekend getaway in late fall and early spring. Palm Canyon is a lovely camping area and the trails in this area are easy. The visitor's center was recently remodeled and there are some neat exhibits to check out. Park staff are very friendly. Definately worth the drive. Don't forget to bring the smores!

There are lots of catering companies to choose from in San Diego. I used UCSD for an event I was planning and had a possitive experience. The catering manager was knowledgable and made suggestions on how to keep costs down while not scrimping on the guest experience. Day-of event staff performed well, and guests had a good experience. Don't let the name fool you, they do catering off of the UCSD campus. Worth checking out.

This is a great setting for a small garden wedding and a reception. This is the club house for a local womens philanthropy organization. They rent out their facility for weddings. We got married here a few years ago and had a great experience. The garden area will accomodate up to 120 guests. The intimate feeling of a house is a lot more personal than some of these sprawling ballrooms. Worth checking out.

South Beach has great fish tacos that are generous in size. My favorite is the mahi. Order your drinks at the bar and then servers will take care of the food order. Can get busy in here, but the tables turn over fairly quickly. Parking can be tight, though there is a City lot just west of the property. Great sunset views to be had if you sit at the bar. All around a good value.
