This place is excellent. It is quite busy because of the good food. I love the tasty bread they serve you, that can be dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil mixed. The pastas are delicious, with a choice of a sauce with meat or without meat. It is romantic for you lovers! A great place to celebrate an Anniversary. We need good restaurants in Apple Valley, so we don't have to drive through the Narrows. And this restaurant is definitely a good addition to Apple Valley. The service is great. You get plenty of individual attention. Beautiful decor. The portions sizes are large enough that you won't leave the restaurant hungry, and you most likely will leave with some leftovers for lunch the next day. The parking has been expanded behind the restaurant. It now includes a back entrance through a new outdoor patio, hallway, and bar area. Everything about this Italian restaurant is great. You must give it at least one try to see what you think. I bet you'll be back.

I am the kind of person that when I need an oven or a microwave I head for the nearest big company store in town like Sears, Lowes, or Home Depot. But since I have lived in Apple Valley, I have discovered an excellent, local, appliance store in Victorville. My understanding is that they have been here in the High Desert for a long time. Once I discovered this store, I have bought a microwave and an oven. And I plan to purchase my compactor and dishwasher at this store when they need replacing. I am also not the kind of person to buy an extended warranty. When I purchased our microwave, my husband convinced me to buy the 5 year warranty they offered us. Boy, am I glad I did. Within four years I find a crack in the exterior of the microwave. The store sent out a repairman, ordered a replacement for the cracked part, and repaired the microwave one week later. And all of this was free because of the extended warranty. They were quick with no hassles. The employees are helpful and knowledgeable. The store has expanded since I moved here, and offers even more services at their newest location on Atstar Drive.

This is the first heating and air conditioning service I used right after moving to Apple Valley. The air conditioner was leaking freon, and the fan was not rotating. He replaced a fuse, added 2 lb. of freon, checked the unit for proper operation and then left. The prices they charged me were reasonable. Then, the following summer, I found out it was leaking again. So, I didn't call FHA Services back. Why should I? They were not very thorough the first time I used their service. They didn't even bother to ask themselves, why is this unit leaking? They did not go into the attic, they did not test the wiring or piping to the unit, they just recharged the unit with freon, replaced a fuse, and went on there way.

Eight years ago I use to call Mr. Tinsley to my home for heating and air conditioning problems. He always answered his phones immediately, got right back to me, and followed up in a timely manner. Mr. Tinsley even came to our home to set up the contract to replace the heaters in our attic. The heaters were put in by Tinsley's employees. A man fell through the roof into our bedroom, but Tinsley paid for the repairs, and we even got a better ceiling out of the deal. But in the last few years I have tried to call him about my air conditioner (they had not solved the leak as yet) and was getting no replies to my calls; and even with a promise to call me back to set up an appointment, I received no calls back. There I sat with the temperature going up in the house, and decided to call J M & J instead, and they came right away and fixed the air conditioner once and for all.

I had been searching for a good plumbing, heating and air conditioning business, when I finally was referred to J M & J Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning. They have been fantastic. After 4 tries with other air conditioning businesses to fix my air conditioner that kept leaking freon, J M & J finally fixed the problem. I have used them consistently for my plumbing needs, because they are honest and have not tried to sale me more than I need to fix the problems. I've been satisfied with all their work, and with the helpful employees they have sent to our home.Their pricing is fair.

The food at Star East Buffet is fresh and delicious. There are a lot of dishes to choose from. You have the table with the sushi, salads, shrimp, and mushrooms for a starter. Then you have table full of Chinese entrรฉes, like beef and broccoli, orange chicken, lemon chicken, Chinese vegetable platters, dim sum steamed buns, chicken and Chinese pea pods, steamed rice, won ton soup, etc. etc. etc. The choices will boggle your mind, and you won't be able to try everything in one visit. Then to finish your meal, you have a choice of a few desserts and ice cream. Desserts is the only thing they don't have plenty of.
The waiters are helpful and nice. They seat you immediately at a table when you walk in. You can start eating right away after they take your drink orders. And you can request a Senior Discount if you are of age, or watch for a coupon in your local paper.
They have been a nice addition to the Ralph's Center on Highway 18. I don't usually like very many Chinese Buffet Restaurants, because the food seems mediocre, but this place is definitely worth a visit. If you like seafood, you will especially like this restaurant because they have fresh cooked shrimp, salmon, and other seafood dishes to enjoy at dinnertime.
For families, it only costs $4.99 for the children. The wee ones, four and under, are free.

When we moved here 8 years ago, my husband's dream was to have an indoor aquarium, and he didn't want a small one either. That was the first piece of furniture we bought for the living room. With the help of Todd at the Aquarium World we got a complete set of fish, rocks, sea shells, food, and a 115 gallon tank. Todd set it up for us at our home to get us started. He was informative and knowledgeable about the aquarium world. He inherited that from his dad where they raise fish at their own homes. My husband has been very happy with his purchase, and we still check with Todd on occasion for any questions we may have. He hires intelligible people at the store. We have gone through a few fish problems, but Todd usually knows how to solve the problem. We have now had the same set of fish for several years with no losses. One thing we learned was to not wait until the aquarium heater goes out, but to replace it before the guarantee date. The people at Aquarium World is helpful and know their business. We know of one other place we like, but it is located in Redlands, so Aquarium World is the best place to go locally to start up your own aquarium.

I heard about this place, but didn't go, until my friend told me she goes there all the time to do her mailing of packages. Since I hate to stand in lines, I started to take my packages to Apple Valley Stationers. I now do all my business there. The people are a lot nicer than at the Main Post Office in Apple Valley. They talk with you and help you make decisions without a hint of rudeness, rushing, or lack of knowledge. Then you have the store to shop at as well. Plenty of office supplies to choose from. I've bought files for my filing cabinet, boxes, pens, mailing materials, tape, etc. at the store on my way out. Not as boring as the Main Post Office. And, everything that I have mailed from there has gotten to their destinations just fine, with no problems. They have even given me suggestions on how to save money when I am shipping two or three boxes to the same destination. No one at the main post office ever told me about it before this. I don't think they have the time to give you that extra special attention like they can at Apple Valley Stationers. I am glad I listened to my friend.

I stop by here once-an-awhile to pick up something quickly, especially if I have been to Food4Less Grocery Store in that same area. I have bought a few clothes here, which have turned out to last and look nice on us, but I don't do that very often. I believe that Target has better quality of clothes than Kmart. Also, Kmart's displays are lacking in presentation. Quite a few items can be found on the floor, pushed in on the racks so tight you can't pull one out, or all in a hump on a table display. This is probably due to lack of employees to straighten clothes or help customers shop. Things can be hard to find, because they always seem to be in disarray, changing a display or changing a department around. I couldn't believe what I saw when I went there after Christmas and saw a mixed up jumble of old Christmas decor and wrapping paper, and outdoor furniture beginning to be displayed, all in the same small area at once. It looked bad! One time I couldn't even find some toilet paper on sale, and asked an employee where it was, while she was changing all the shelves around to other spots. No wonder I couldn't find the toilet paper - she had moved it. I do like Martha Stewart's products though, and shop there for her items. She puts out good quality merchandise. I still have a set of Martha Stewart towels I bought 10 years ago, and they still are not falling apart!

We use their take out service, but you can also have your pizza's delivered. We like all of their choices, especially their Feast pizzas. I usually get a Veggie Feast, but my husband likes meat so he gets the Extravaganzza, Meat or Deluxe Feast. Domino's is known for their specials that they run. Right now is the Domino's Doubles Special which we have been taking advantage of. Watch for their fliers in the mail which lists all of their deals. Right now they have a deal for their new brownie dessert. You can also create your own pizza. You have a choice between classic hand tossed crust, crunchy thin crust, or ultimate deep dish crust. All three are delicious. Sometimes I want something crunchy and sometimes I want something thicker and filling. I get my choice at Domino's Pizza. Domino's is a lot better pizza parlor than back in the 80's. I wouldn't even eat at a Domino's Pizza back then. Their choices have improved, and their crusts have improved since then.
