I used to rave about the service at Renton Honda. It was the best in the Puget Sound for all the Honda dealers.
Someone must have taken over a year or so ago, because the past couple times I've trusted them to work on my car, they have: 1) been late by a DAY with me having no way to get home; 2) done work poorly; 3) charged us for work that was obviously not completed. These EACH happened on multiple occassions.
As if 1 and 2 weren't bad enough, 3 is fraud. They lose on that aspect alone.
They are the first business to get ZERO stars from me. This review shows a 1 only because I had to pick between 1 and 5...

The only thing this place really has going for it is a modicum of kid friendliness. And by that I mean the waitress asked us w/o any prompting if our toddler wanted her food first (that got them an extra star.) That's about where the good times ended.
Parking in this area of the city is horrible; as a touted kid friendly place, do they expect families to take MUNI in to visit?
The pasta I had was incredibly gamy and undercooked. The beer was slightly soapy tasting - bad carbonation levels. The booth we were placed was right behind the hostess station. They placed the menus on top of the backboard that was my seat back. I got popped in the back of the head by menus several times.
I was very much underwhelmed.

Can you say 130" HDTV Plasma? I'm a member of the Puget Sound PSU ALumni Group, and we watch ALL our games here. There is an area just by the TV which is family friendly, AND each table in the main portion of the dining room has its own LCD TV (great for dual matches...)
If the kids melt down, have a spouse stay while they get better in the lobby, where there are several LCD Plasma displays acting as backup. Or, before the game, wear them out at the Seattle Center, Children's Museum, or Science Center - all within a 10 minute walk.
Also, any kids meal gets you a free golden ticket into their monthly memorabilia drawing.
If that wasn't enough, they sponsor little leagues by allowing the league to give a number that when referenced by guests on their bill gets 2% refunded back to the league. How many places do that still?? Look at their site for more information.
Parking in the garage under it at Fisher Plaza is $5 for an ENTIRE weekend day.
Not only are they kid friendly in environment and food, they are also pro kid in the community.
Besides, can you say 130" HDTV Plasma?? I know you can... ;)

Let me start out by saying I may be a bit biased since I live in Cherokee Bay and am on its Board of Directors. Cherokee Bay Community Club is the name for our neighborhood's Office and Recreational Facility.
It's one of Maple Valley's only 100% private neighborhoods. I'm not talking gated - we're not hoidy toidy. I mean that we own everything. The streets, the water system, etc. We're basically a small city. And that's what makes it such a fun place to live. We have 853 houses and most people know a lot of other people all over the large parcel we call home. It's the definition of community.
Kids ride bike safely on our streets, people regularly walk around to say hi and for exercise. We share our expertise - our landscaper and soon to be electrician both live here (and we're getting tabs on an ex-plumber as well!)
We've got a lovely park. It has trees, grass, horseshoes, grills, a playground, a cabana, and lake access to Pipe Lake which is stocked with several types of fish. It's a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can come here to relax and hang out with your neighbors like you were spending time in a state park. The big difference is that when you're done eating and it's time to go home - you're already there.
I sigh on my morning commute to Seattle every day as I stream onto the freeway listening to my podcasts; however, I breath easy on my trip home knowing that I'll soon be pulling into a drive covered with a canopy of four 50+ foot evergreens (with more in the backyard).
It's a slower pace of life, but one that is so much more enjoyable. The only thing that could make it better is if I could work from home...

I'm referring a Seattle dentist since you asked here. Hopefully that's what you're looking for. If not, this could very well help someone else.
Let me start by saying how horrible I used to find going to the dentist. I'd sweat, I'd stress, and once there I'd gag on the X-Rays and find myself constantly swallowing for some reason.
Enter Dr Fraker. I came here on a referral and could not be more pleased. My gag reflex is gone (didn't choke once, even on the back molar x-rays), I am totally relaxed in the chair, and their prices are unbeatable. Yes, I have insurance, but I got two wisdom teeth taken out for a total out of pocket of $65. Yes, for less than a trip to Teatro Zinzanni I was out two teeth (and one had to be cut out...)
The office is right by Greenlake with plentiful on street parking, a very bright and cheery front desk staff, and free samples in the restroom to brush up before your appt.

My wife loves this store for quick pick ups. The one time I've been in, I got the most responsive and most knowledgeable clerk I've met in hardware. They do tend to be a bit more expensive than the big box stores though if you're looking for a lot of things for a big project.

Rooters has some really good BBQ! I moved out to Maple Valley recently and was worried I'd be hit with a lack of good food. I was told to come here, and am glad I did!! Great service and the take out translation stands up better than most places. I'm more of a sweet fan, and this fit my bill, but I didn't get hot so I can't speak to that for all you "Man" fans...
