My friend and I needed some salon therapy last year, and we asked for a referral from our server where we were having lunch. That is how I became aware of Obadiah, and I have had happy hair days ever since.
We walked in, and I wound up in Apryl McCarthy's chair. It turns out that she has won the best stylist award in the Best of the Northwest contest through Evening Magazine at least 2 times in the past 3 years. She is very skilled at cutting hair in a way that allows you to style it yourself and have it look (almost) as good as when you leave the shop. She is also an incredibly skilled colorist, and is very good at bringing depth with a combination of high and lowlights.
They do not come cheap, but considering they offer full salon and spa services in the middle of downtown Bellevue, their prices could be a lot worse. It is a great place to unwind after a busy day.

My cousin had a terrible experience with Hoffman's for her July wedding a couple of years ago. Two women carried the cake in and literally set it on the cake table without providing any instructions to my aunt or any relatives helping to set up. Since this was a day with 95 degree weather, about 3 hours later when it was time to serve the cake, the cake was melting and falling apart. It was a very lousy way to treat paying customers, especially considering they charged an additional $50.00 for delivery and set-up!
That being said, I have eaten in the shop 3 or 4 times over the years, and they have wonderful European-style pastries and tasty breakfast items as well. If you can purchase something that you can carry out on your own, enjoy. If you are dependant on them to deliver and set up a cake, look elsewhere.

Not being big on cake, my husband and I just wanted to be sure our wedding cake was moist and flavorful. We went to a tasting at Mike's Amazing Cakes being aware of his artistic cake designs. We found their flavors to be unique, and all the cakes were so moist! We wound up ordering 2 flavors, with the huge favorite being banana cake with Kahlua caramel cream filling. It tasted as good as homemade banana bread, which was perfect for our fall wedding. Since we did not order any special decorating since our florist was putting flowers around the cake, we were able to get the cake for $1.50 per serving including delivery.
Mike's was very professional and great to work with, and I would gladly recommend them to anyone. It is also fun to catch Mike on the Food Network specials :).

Having moved into our first house in August and be very peeved at opening windows for some fresh air and not being able to keep the insects outside, we were excited to get a referral from a friend for Chalet Screens. They were prompt in scheduling an estimator to come out for measuring, and they had our screens installed a week after their first visit. The screens are great quality and the installation was professional.

When I was planning my wedding 2 years ago, I chose a location that had a list of preferred providers. I contacted the top 3 based on a tasting event, and Susan was the best combination of great food, beautiful presentation and reasonable pricing. We knew she would follow through, and the food was even more incredible than we could have imagined. We had her prepare the food for the rehearsal dinner as well, and we received rave reviews from all of our guests for how great the food was. Several people mentioned it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, more like a great restaurant experience.
Susan has a real love for food and entertaining, and she is a wonderful person to boot. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a caterer.

I have been to XXX a handful of times in the 13 years I lived on the Eastside, and the last time we went with friends a few weeks ago it was a miserable experience. The root beer was as good as always. The onion rings and fries were just greasy and the burgers were nothing special. Our server was downright rude to myself and our friends, and that sealed the deal. Two thumbs down for this place.

My husband and I tried Goldberg's a month ago, and we were quickly hooked. The ingredients are fresh and quite authentic for an East Coast style-deli, and the hubby loved his corned beef sandwich. I was very impressed with the Philly cheesesteak I had where the meat, peppers and onions were chopped and cooked correctly with a cheese combo that made it taste like Cheez Whiz. Very close to the Philly original. We will definitely go back and try more of the menu (it's big). I'm still getting over the shock of a decent place to eat in Factoria!

My husband and I decided to try this restaurant in the Bothell Landing mall last weekend since we do not have a working stove and were tired of pizza and sandwiches.
What a wonderful surprise! My husband ordered the mixed tandoori grill, and all of the meat, including lamb, chicken and beef, were the most tender I have ever had prepared in this style. I ordered the pomegranate chicken curry, and it was a wonderful, richly flavored dish. Their naan was outrageously good, as was the rice pudding for dessert.
We are so excited to have found a great Indian restaurant in our backyard. If you love Indian cuisine, this is a must-try.

After looking at local appliance stores, Sears, Best Buy, etc. for a upright freezer, we decided to visit the appliance store closest to our house. We visited Seattle Home Appliance at their Bothell store, and were pleasantly surprised by the low-key sales staff. They were able to order the freezer we wanted and it was priced lower than anywhere else we had looked. We purchased a hood vent from them for 20% off list during the same trip. They delivered all of the appliances within the week.
The story gets better: our stove died a couple of weeks ago and we decided we would check there to find out what the prices would be. I had researched Consumer Reports, and a Hotpoint model was the best rated model and the best value. Our sales person found out our budget and wound up recommending the same Hotpoint range, again at about 10% less than Sears.
They have been in business in Bothell since 1954, and they are worth a visit if you appreciate good prices and great customer service.
