This book was wonderful .
Echo and Noah's relationship is very sweet and it was nice to see that they saved each other.
I found this section of the book personally interesting because I read through it going, "Oh, That's why I am like that."
The characters could not have been better , the story is based on something which in 1964 would have been nothing short of revolutionary and finally the writing style is smooth like calm waters.
 On the strong side , the writing is superior and the post-apocalyptic world that Cole creates is imaginative and she builds it well.
His dialogue rings true, and with such an expansive cast of characters, sometimes it can be hard to remember them all or they end up sounding alike, but all these characters are easily identifiable as themselves .
It was better than good it was GREAT! The characters are rich and fantastic and devious and wonderful and heart-breaking and maddening.
Every now and then Brimstone calls for her to run an errand.
This book ran true to my memories of the South.
 But I absolutely loved it .
My favorite aspect of this book is the fact that the ending had my stomach in knots and gripped with suspense .
Her writing style and perspective was great .
 He has some good info  but I was just not overly impressed
The plot device of finding each clue and solving it got a little bit tedious at times .
but I enjoyed being with the characters so much and the writing is just terrific that I enjoyed spending the time with this book.
The beginning was interesting .
All this happened because I was interested in a single  book .
The overall story was good, but not really intriguing to me .
I even recommended it to my mother! The characters are memorable and well written .
Wow! The ending was interesting .. not sure its what I would have done, in Nicks place, however I can see his reasoning.
I really enjoyed both the characters and the story setting .
Imagine living during the middle 19th century as a free man in New York State with a wonderful family and having the talent to play the fiddle so well that you are requested to play numerous venues for pay.
Michel Thomas's, the Pimsleur series, and the Barron's version of the Foreign Service Institute course are the three top-selling courses on Spanish, and I did extensive research on the various high end courses before buying his.
Though the individual sections were interesting, I was disappointed that there wasn't an overall theme .
The idea for the plot is an interesting one .
Before I forget- 4 stars for me means that I enjoyed reading it, but would not have it on my own personal shelf .
So beautifully written, so uplifting, I am so happy that I gave this book a chance .Thank
That is why I gave it one star because I hated it .
 All the characters are so rich in their descriptions that I feel I would recognize them on the street if I was to run into them.
When I saw this book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain, I knew I had to choose it for my review .
-- A Romantic Book Affairs ReviewOkay, I've obviously lost cool points for not reading Hopeless sooner.
Story line was very interesting .
Still, it is very good and worth the time and money .
Whether or not you believe in heaven, this story is exceptional! The journey that this little boy took is absolutely amazing and worth the little bit of time it will take to read.
The characters were interesting and the history was sad and powerful not only the history from 80 years ago but from the communication just 40 years ago.
All good characters have flaws .

 And, because she is so utterly sweet, is cajoled into interviewing Christian Grey, a mega rich , surprisingly young man with a million dollar company, for her best friend's school paper.
Like everyone else who read it, I loved "Seabiscuit".  Loved it.  I found this surprising given the fact that I had never had any interest in horses or horse racing before.  But from the first sentence, the prose in that book is as beautiful and engaging as prose can be."Unbroken" is not "Seabiscuit".  Don't get me wrong, the story is remarkable, and it's exhaustively researched.  You can't sneeze at 397 endnotes.  But Laura Hillenbrand's writing in this outing is less like poetry and more like reporting.  Jammed with details, the book reads like the world's longest New Yorker article.The topic is hardly new.  WWII has been pretty exhaustively covered, and this particular story has been told before.  The hero of the book, Louis Zamperini, published his own memoirs only a few years ago.  The hardships of war and the cruelty of the Japanese come as no surprise.Louie's story is so remarkable and so detailed that, frankly, it strains the limits of credulity.  I'm not challenging the facts; I'm just saying that it's a lot to remember.  Personally, I wouldn't even want to.  I wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes drifting in that life raft.  I would have eaten all the chocolate and stuck my head in a shark.  How anyone could remember the ordeal in hour-by-hour detail is beyond me.Ultimately, I couldn't finish the book.  I feel bad that I didn't have the strength to read the experiences someone else had to live, but I gave up on about my third POW camp.  Starvation, deprivation, cruelty, disease, humiliation, I got the picture.  Repeated cycles don't necessarily make for a great story; it just makes for a tedious narrative.Which made me ponder the purpose of the book.  As a moving story, it's too detailed to carry a theme.  As reporting, it's redundant and profoundly out of date.  What's the take-away message supposed to be?I tried to skip to the end, but the `redemption' part just didn't grab me.  It's not hard to believe that someone who lived this life would be scarred forever.  I practically got PTSD just reading it.  It's also not hard to believe someone who got that scarred would find religion.
It gets a star because the cover is so pretty .Where
The characters were entertaining and the banter was witty and hilarious .
And while we learn about a lot of his past, he ends the story still being somewhat mysterious .I really liked Nora's character.
 I thought the cover was interesting the idea was unique .
 They still are drawn to one another and love each other, but their trust is being taxed and their reliance on the strengths of the other is not assured.
 The characters have an amazing relationship and nothing happens between them until after TJ is a legal adult .
I really liked that the romance with the conflicts it had was quite believable.....not just the wine and roses and the crazy lengths of character development with their thoughts and conflicts that sometimes go on and on !
The other character, Hassan, is genuinely, perhaps, the most decent human being you can ever come across out there .
 How Ms. Tartt was able to get into this young man's psyche is incredible!
It is such a clever book, all the details neatly come together, every detail is of some importance, the writing is straightforward, but amazingly descriptive, the characters are so realistic ( I actually know people like them
I have a personal interest in the machinations of Rome and the Knights Templar.
It didn't  really hold my interest and I found the characters to be one -dimensional and rather dull.
Perfect development of the characters - the bond they build is palpable, believable and quite beautiful.
Both have the main male character being drop dead sexy, rich businessmen that are very protective over the women they love, and have also been through terrible tragedy.
Suzy Wilson's review Apr 23 , 20135 of 5 starsbookshelves: dystopia, strong-female-protagonistRead in April, 2013I received a copy of this novel as an electronic Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin, in return for an honest review.
This is my only problem really , in that the other characters feel quite undeveloped - i don't feel I know, or care about them very much.
The plot is compelling if gruesome and disturbing at several points .
 Women are always stronger than men .
They have great character development !
But the journey they take was exciting and an absolute blast to read, and I actually like the way things wrapped up.
 The first is that of "time slicing", which demonstrates how important information can be encoded in a very short period of time.  Most of Gladwell's examples are socioloical, and the most striking of which was research which aimed to predict whether married couples would get divorced after analyzing a single conversation with them.The other concept is how the brain acts subconsciously to certain stimulus .
Gillian Flynn has a great writing style and her characters are perfectly and realistically twisted .
The characters are completely unbelievable in their roles .
The book is amazing, and I would definately would have given it 5 stars but for certain aspects of the book, but I think parts of the book made some people, especially men, uncomfortable given the extremely detailed romantic impulses and actions of the female protagonist and her lover .
Being a person who rarely reads fantasy , I was a little uneasy about reading this book, especially when I looked at the character log in the back, with all the houses listed and its history.
The tragic story of a woman with 5 young children who, by way of her death from a particularly vicious cancer, should help save the lives of probably almost every one of us, is positively fascinating.
 Billionaire falls for a girl and likes to be in charge of all aspects of his life .
4.5 starsMiss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is one of those books that is completely unexpected and almost swathed in mystery .
Jodi Picoult's The Storyteller is a fictional account of a young woman-Sage- who befriends an older gentleman-Josef- she meets at a grief group.
I loved that Sam wasn't an alpha wolf .
Also, there were time where the lengthy descriptions of unnecessary things (furniture, for example) got so detailed that it would take you out of the book; I'd find myself skipping paragraphs a time and losing nothing from the story.
 "Divergent" has an amazing plot and I think its a fairly unique one when you think about how many dystopian novels are hitting the shelves.
The mystery and the romance combined are just perfect .
It took half the book to develop the main character .
Stop saving everyone else and save himself.
Fantastic characterisation and an always exciting plot .
I find that the plot is excellent in terms of its riveting sequence of events .
 His description about sitting in the dining room was so real .
The story line was easy to follow and while it was difficult at times to like Joss, the main character, I fell in love with Braden and Ellie !
 I really loved this book, and thought it brought together the characters endings in a lovely way .
Perhaps it's a reinforcement of the story setting where no one is enlightened and all kings are blood-thirsty savages with no brains that need Aes Sedai to guide them and all women are helpless and need men around to protect them, but I seem to have higher expectations.Edit update: 1/3 of the way through Book 10Ok, things did slow down a bit. Part of the issue is that there are so many players and so many tangents that it takes forever to tell one and get back to another. Still, petty good overall so I'll try and finish it out. 
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire is exactly as the title says.
 Mr. Zusak has a wonderful and unique way with words .
The love story was beautiful, the characters loveable .
In this wonderful book, set in Jackson, Mississippi in the years 1962-1964, we meet three unforgettable women: Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, a young white woman, who is 22, a budding social activist and writer; Aibileen, a black maid raising her 17th white child; and Minny, Aibileen's best friend, who has just lost another job for speaking out to the white woman she worked for.
When Jacqueline follows her high school sweetheart, Kennedy, to the college of his dreams she thinks that they are the perfect couple but just months later he tears her heart out by breaking up with her and she falls into a deep depression.
What ugly, disgusting language used over and over and to no disernable purpose .
At over 700 pages it isn't a quick read , but GRRM does a great job of making an already excellent story even better.
The characters are rich and wonderful and the imagery is immersive .
 What you can expect from J. Lynn (a.k.a Jennifer L. Armentrout) is solid writing , a great push and pull between Cam and Avery, witty banter and a touching story.
 It was hard to read some of this, but the character development was excellent .
It's hard to write about this book .
The setting and characters are perfect !
The characters in the book are very likeable and you can very easily sympathize with them .
I like that the characters felt real .Then came the end, more so the last few chapters.
His past is so dark that haunts his dreams , so dark even he has great fear confronting it.
Have you every started a book and it just wasn't good but you read through it because eventually it did or because the rest of the series was good, well that's not the case here.
This was recommended to me by another bibliophile who loves a good yarn , great plot development and real characters.
But the thing I liked most was how he managed to portray Christopher as the only character with real depth and texture .
When I started this book I had high hopes and the information about Berlin and the change to Nazism and the often cruelty and attacks on American citizens were very interesting.
 It was a great story, The characters were wonderful, I just didn't want it to end .
 This one had a surprising number of pretty high reviews
The cover is really pretty (though am I the only one who thinks the cover model looks like Mandy Moore?) and draws you into the story .
Incarnate by Jodi MeadowsPrint Length: 400 pagesPublisher: Katherine Tegen Books (January 31, 2012)Sold by: HarperCollins PublishersASIN: B005GG0K80My Review~ The cover is stunning !!
 The two main characters, Anna and Christian are not believable and to me, annoying.
What a funny, funny read .
Of course, the purpose of this review is not to compare two books side-by-side, but to review Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games" as a standalone novel .The premise is simple.
The characters have more depth, and the jumping from place to place makes more sense .
They are fleshed out more than well enough, as the plot of necessity relies -- Landay intended it to rely -- more on the swift action provided by any excellent legal thriller .
Erik Larson has a unique ability to write about historical events in a truly intriguing way .
She is a writer in charge of her craft .
Compelling, cool story, solid character development, and well-constructed plot .
The storyline is fascinating and compelling .
The pacing is excellent, and the mystery in the book keeps feeding you enough clues to keep you interested.
 Best of all, the book had real depth and the romance was not the least bit one dimensional .
It was like reading the same awful book three times in a row.1) Characters:The characters are uninteresting and boring .
 I was always heartened to see another Bailey chapter in the book as I read, while the Celia and Marco chapters didn't hold my interest as well, as the characters were too lifeless for me to be emotionally invested in them .That's my only quibble with this book, however -- the rest is one of the most enthralling and beautiful fictional worlds I have ever come across in a work of fiction.
The scene setting, the character development, the plot twists, and the dialogue are all superb .
This is hand-down the most beautiful cover I have ever seen before (and I have seen some pretty beautiful covers before like "Fallen" and "Torment" by Lauren Kate, "Halo", and whatnot).
I just loved this book .
No really, the characters are fabulous and addictive. I felt the heartbreaking tale of Joss' loss and subsequent lifestyle. I loved every step of her journey .
Rowling manages to write characters that aren’t exactly likeable , yet she still manages to make them likeable, if that makes any sense at all.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book , and its sequels.
Just the word "maze" incites an instant mental picture of adventure, mystery, danger, and bravery.
 Several twists and turns keeps interesting .
This probably wasn't the best of the trilogy...perhaps the worse .
I really like this book - the character were likable , it was a good length, there wasn't too much angst
It is a whirlwind romance , emotions are high but when the secret is revealed, Ethan stands to lose the one thing he loves the most..
 The romance is very light and sweet .
 I get the feeling the author wanted to create the perfect family who focus on the right things but are just too poor, but there's not enough human flaws.
 Though the background is quick, it is efficiently concise.
 That it was not over the second they found relief .
 The characters were delightful , both the main character and all the others.
Conflicted. Frustrated .
I don’t think I’ve ever said the word “duck” so much while reading a book in my entire life as I did while reading Bang.
There are a few other characters in this book that I liked as well.
I don't read a lot of mystery's, but I found a lot of the plot points to be pretty transparent that details seemingly mentioned off handedly by characters are going to be important in the solution to the mystery, almost like having it highlighted IMPORTANT POINT HERE!
This book has some good , reasonable advice.
The characters are very endearing and lovable .
 She has some major mental problems and is under guardianship, but we also see early on that there is some sort of genius within.
but I will not go into details (yet) as I have other more important things to do than rant about this piece of bull.
The narration switches mostly between Cinder and Prince Kai , giving a well-rounded view the events taking place as the intimidating Queen Levana of the Lunars visits....and things get pretty complex once she shows up.
When you see over 3,000 4 or 5-star reviews (over 90% of the total reviews), then this book has to be good - and it is!
 That the storyteller was "Death" was also strange for me .
I often find that books in these categories are either a) completely unbelievable and I get eye strain from rolling my eyes so often, or b) the characters are so flat and transparent that I really don't give a fig about what happens to them.
This book was interesting to read but I was disappointing in the subject matter.
The characters are strong women , and triumphant.
how the characters are related and involved .
Unfortunately since his first book Nassim Taleb has become more and more unbearable from my perspective .
 Overall it could have been good but instead just became annoyingly predictable .
Now remember, these characters are in their late 40s .
The characters and plot line in this novel are very entertaining and thankfully , clean and upscale.
There's just too much setting up for it to get far enough into the story that it'll be done at the end of 374 pages.
Overall, if you are looking for answers to the big questions in life, or just some really good food for thought, this book is well worth reading .Other recommended reading:Create Your Own Reality - The Ancient Wisdom
The entire plot was lame only to be surpassed by a terrible ending .
But the information in the book is truly fascinating and worth putting up with the clumsy format to dig it out.
The plot was exciting, and I thought the characters were marvelous .
The characters are funny , and monologue between them is hilarious!
The characters are believeable and the plot line moves along at a good pace.
The plot is fast -paced and full of plenty of twists, which made it a blast to read.
The plot, characters, and setting is much more interesting and developed than the other series .When
 When I had only a few more chapters to read I went back to Amazon and looked to see if the author had any other books published, since I enjoyed this one so much .
 The characters are rich, complex , and pull at your heart on every page.
 It's just a fun read and a book I feel is a must read .
 The story was a bit slow for me at first, but once I became invested in the characters and plot , I could hardly put it down.
His characters are full of life and substance .
This book started out with such promise .
 The characters were original, but deep down just like every other teenager .
 If someone is looking for an informative read that is inspiring and interesting, this is an excellent book .
I find that my favorite books are the ones where none of the characters are all good or all bad .
The first half was super slow and it wasn't until the second half that the character s came together and the story line rolled on .
The mystery is creative if a bit inscrutable .
The Kite Runner is very easy to read , because it keeps your interest throughout the entire book.
I LOVE THIS BOOK.Don't let what others say make you shy away from this book or series; some people, it seems, get a little too into a story and forget that this is only a fiction piece.
 Figured the book had to have more information about everything (books are always better than the movie) -
If I didn't already have a great appreciation for the Seals, and the great men and women that also serve, this book really enhances my understanding and gratitude. It does not compromise national security or seek personal agrandizement.
I absolutely loved Ms. Tartt's other books, "The Secret History" and "The little Friend".
 All I can say  is that, like so many before and after me, this book captivated my interest  and set up some great characters, and in the books to come, the new  characters to arrive are all at least as cleverly developed... and let me  just say that, if you are a fantasy-lover newcome to Jordan, you will  UNDOUBTEDLY enjoy this and the next 2-3 books.
It's a good read too - he was a difficult man , with the temperment and sensibility of an artist, not an engineer, which makes for good drama in the narrative of his life.
no matter, the premise of the story is clever .
 It also helped that I got the audio book featuring the performing talent of the impressive Linda Stephens.
The writing was choppy and poor and the characters were never really defined .
By page 200, the story had become a Lifetime Movie with caricatures instead of complicated and complex characters .
This is the first book in the Trylle trilogy by Hocking .
Do the strategies work? I implemented three different strategies described in the book in my own companies, and I am ecstatically pleased with the results.
I liked this serie very much! I found it poetic and sensitive .
 The characters are excellent and their personalities are very individual .
 The story is gripping and well -written, but it's the characters more than anything else that kept me coming back.
 The character development was great .
The characters were bland ; the writing poor; and the imagination was unimaginative.
The good: The case is great for the more upright positions.
The length is also good @ 2 meters 
This cover is solid, well designed to let the iPad stand freely without flopping over. Travel with this safer in a backpack on airlines too. Again, this baby is built to last and protect your investment.Absolutely delighted. 
 If you're indoors , or shooting at dusk, be prepared to wait up to several seconds for the focus to be set; if it can acquire focus at all.
This lens is one of the least expensive, quality lenses that could find .
Frankly, the images are generally fuzzy .
This thing is awesome .
Performance of the cooler is amazing, the fans blow incredibly cold air towards the laptop , through a metal mesh grill that keeps airflow moving.
It imbues one with a confidence that the case will protect your iPad Mini from most falls and bumps, although I have not been brave enough to venture an actual physical test.
Also the case is rather unattractive if you don't account the leather strap .
The picture is amazing. It is so clear and sharp. I upgraded from a 32 inch Vizio.
The case is very sturdy and works well it was a little thicker then the MoKo case for my 2012 Nexus 7.
The bokeh when shooting wide open at 1.8 is absolutely amazing!
Easy as pie to install and works exactly as advertised .
Up until a couple of weeks ago , I had never heard of a headphone amp.
Picture quality is great as well as the quality of the cable 
Oh, and the range is pretty good too.
It just appears the buttons are flush into the glossy bevel .
After spending $100 to $1,400 on cameras, I was stunned to see how great the pictures and videos came out.
This is a very basic item but the price was good and I do prefer SanDisk.
The case is very beautiful , stylish, rugged and well designed.
It is the only camera in this class or in similar size with a sensor this big .
The case is built well .
The sound cancellation and quality are awesome on these ear buds .
 The picture is not as good as plasma in terms of clarity when looking a people's faces, but it is a fine picture .
 The bendy wire attached to the ear bud makes it hold tight to your ears.  The clip is pretty useless, and the pouch is really small.The sound is decent.  Not great.  It's a little tinny and lacks any real base, but everything is audible and there isn't a lot of noticeable distortion.I purchased these to replace a pair of Shure isolating ear buds.  Let's be real.  They are a cheap replacement.  The audio quality is no where near the Shure set.
 In my opinion they are worth the steaper price than some of the others .
However, from my point of view it becomes a little heavier than other cases , one of the reasons that I love the kindle is so light, but not too much weight with this case without a little for my taste.
Its easy to use and shows quality workmanship.
The case fits my Nexus 7 perfectly and has a very professional and expensive look to it.
The picture and sound are fine .
This drive is very fast, the included software from Samsung is pretty good, including the imaging software which is fast and easy to use.
Works great on my computer and console, just plug in and you are ready to go , it has a decent range, i can now control my pc from my couch as well as my consoles, and the backlight is nice.
Easy to install .
Nice feeling of cover and easy to operate when opening and closing .
It fits perfectly , snug with no room to move around.
Sometimes you'll have to program the device every time you boot up , because the file won't save correctly.
KeyboardThe keyboard on this case is very nice .
but I still find myself looking for 3 buttons from time to time...but really love how I can use it on my Idea Pad y510p which has a horrible touch pad (although everything else about the laptop is great!).
Also the pockets are very helpful and the straps to hold a tripod seems to hold well a tripod there .
 The cord is really nice , very well built, and works very well.
This cable is very good quality, and my picture is stunning .
I recommend spending the extra $50 and getting the HD version .
 Picture quality is clear and I used other's settings mentioned on here for the picture adjustments .
 The speed is outstanding and the range is exceptional .All in all, TP-Link N600 comes equipped with ALMOST every major function you could want from a router.
This bag is soo perfect for my Canon XS camera.
 While lacking a few features, the Airbender v1.0 is still a nice case and has features that excel when compared with some of its competitors many of which cost more .
I purchased a few of these since they are small , well priced, and designed well.
These speakers are one of a kind!They are perfect for their price!The quality is a solid 9/10The sound (Loudness without distortion) 9/10The price is exceptional 10/10The durability is a strong 10/10 (The speakers have held up for over a year and sound as new)Now, of course you can purchase a much higher quality set of speakers at a much inflated price, but for $40 these are by far superior to any otherThere is little to no distortion when music is loud.
The cord is very long and durable , the jack is strong and well constructed.
This is the best.... 
Now it has become the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used .
The video and audio with even really old footage is excellent .The next day, I had no problem at all getting it to cast at 1:00 a.m., from my laptop.
Love the ease of use of the chromecast, stopped using PS3 for Netflix cause this thing is so nice and easy to use .
This case deserved all 5 stars! the case feels good in terms of material and the magnetic sleep/wake functions perfectly, and the case is sleek and slim enough to not be bothersome.
This mouse feels great and operates nicely when it is working , but I use mine for work and multiple (15+) times a day, the mouse starts jumping around the screen instead of moving smoothly.
This is a nice case that provides more than adequate protection---but considering the price and design, that should go without saying...
Of course as with any projector the more control over light in the room the better the picture .
 This case has a really rugged metal arm that won't break like the plastic arms that some of the cases have.
The picture on it was not good , but I figured it had to be the store had some funky settings.
The Flip outperforms them all .
Here is what I like about it.1 .
I have my 1000w PC, 23in monitor, modem and router hooked up to it and I can get 25min of battery power out of it!! The software that comes with it is great , it shuts down your computer safely when the power has been out for how ever long you tell it to, and has an option to turn off the alarm when the power goes out which is nice.
 The picture this thing has to offer is unbelievable .
Bought this today and installed it--fairly easy--needed the builtin WiFi cause we have no wired connection available upstairs--thought to get a 40" same model from Costco vs Amazon cause Costco has sale on but when we got there and saw how large the screen was compared to the older model "tube" tv we were taking out, it was no brainer to go with 32 and save some more money...not as cheap as Amazon's price but we get extra year's warranty from Costco for free...
This camera is just all right at best, The pictures are poor and the videos are worse.
It meets the latest HDMI 1.4 standards, and should work fine with any HDMI compliant video device- and at a very attractive price , too.
two perfectly matched microphones and outstanding recording quality .The most popular use for the H1 is to record separate audio for DSLR videos.
And guess what, at normal viewing distances, the picture quality is comparable to Dish!I'm even contemplating of buying a DVR .
I've been using an HP wireless keyboard/mouse combo for a year...the combo came with my new computer and I finally had enough of wonky functionality (the receiver was literally inches away from the keyboard/ mouse yet it would still cut out at times )
 The only thing that I did not like about it was that the cord is either too short and too long .
 Has a place for everything and holds so much !
 Don't expect to always get the 150Mbps , but your upstream connection to the internet is probably slower than that anyway
OK, I could have given this case 3 stars for some of the cons .
Last year I built my first P9X79 Deluxe system using the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Full Tower and was very happy with its quiet fans.
 Noticed Cyberpower also won an award recently from resellers .
I really like this case, it feels sturdy and fits the paper -white perfectly.
i waited until recently to get one because i wanted to make sure the android apps were available to meet my needs.
 They were correct as my case is awesome .
Has 4 extra usb ports this is great .
Case works perfectly , keyboard feels great and the hotkeys are amazing!
 And like I said, several cases are sold in the 20-25 dollar range , so it is nice that this one clocks in at below $19 (though that price is subject to change, I suppose...)
 Cable from the amplifier to the speakers should be of lower guage but does not to be the best since the cable runs are relatively short .To close, the cables here are of decent quality good for their length and would seem to be a reasonable deal.
If your scared to buy this because you have to modify it, dont be .
The cord itself is great , its long, and it isn't stiff, so its quite useful, but the micro end of the cord is just odd.
I can fit about 5 lenses and a camera body in this case. The case seems to be fairly water resistant, but I would not feel too confident in a heavy downpour!
The case overall is nice .
 I've already gotten comments about how good the picture was for " that tiny little camera you were carrying around ".
There is no way of telling if this drive will stand the test of time, but so far, this thing has been excellent .
Picture quality is simply stunning and there were no problems .
 This allows the camera to take MUCH better pictures in low light .
This router is very good, and has very good range .
 This case's flexibility makes it a leader as it swivels, and detaches, allowing seemingly unlimited combinations of viewing and portability .
 This cable is perfect.  It's well made and heavy-duty .
This is a great wireless mouse , as are most of Logitech's products.
the picture on it is beautiful .
It is too bright at nightPerformance: I think that the performance (colors, contrast, brightness) is very good for home use - it looks great surfing the web, looking at pictures, or watching movies.
 very annoying but the fan is really really good !
 Unfortunately, I didn't get any range improvement in one area of my house and my main laptop is still around -60db (and about 1 MB/s)  I was hoping to get a little more but the faster router processor seems to keep the data flowing very steadily.
but for me this lens is my walking around lens, so much better than the 1.8 , this has metal construction and I love the speed of primes
 My only real gripe is the MLB.tv app.
I bought this lens mostly for video, as the STM lenses have almost completely silent autofocus , which helps tremendously when shooting video with the internal mic, or a camera-mounted mic.
This New Trent Airbender case is a remarkably lightweight keyboard case and while it doesn't feel heavy duty by any stretch of the imagination, it also doesn't seem cheap or flimsy.
 Sound is great and noise cancelling is excellent but after wearing for 20-30 minutes they start to hurt my ears.
Anyway, this is a great all around lens and is my favorite for event photography and as my personal "walkabout" lens when I'm on vacation .
 While it is advertised to have superior range, I find it pretty average at best .
 The device works as it's supposed to and it doesn't junk up my key chain.
The bokeh is 'creamier' than you're used to compared to Nikon or Zeiss lenses , but I like it.
 The case is very convenient with the several different options available for display .
Passively cooled however for reducing noise ( It has vents on the top ) and very well shielded inside and in my tests it indeed is very fast in data transfers thanks to the USB 3.0 interface.
this case is awesome .
However, the bag is huge, so big I can fit my DSLR, Camcorder and even a point and shoot camera.
 The craftsmanship is excellent , all seams are straight with no loose thread, the fit is excellent as is the overall appearance.
 The verdict is in- this cable is a very high quality cable which works beautifully with no problems at all .Despite
OK let me start by saying I have studied antennas pretty extensively as a hobby .
This case is super slim, super sleek, and fits the Nexus 7 perfectly .
On the plus side, the setup software is easy and it's attractive .
The latter barely works (at least for me) but otherwise the case is fine .
 A cropped sensor makes this 40mm lens the equivalent of a 56mm .
This product is perfect for what I needed it for.
This case is beautiful , inside and out.
I would highly recommend this accessory for everyone .
The case fits snug to the device and allows for good support and viewing angles .
Your computer will wait on you instead of you waiting on your computer.
These cables are great !
 I am a 39 year old male and this review is for the Zune HD and what it is like to OWN one so that others may decide if they want one.  First off, you will notice that this review is "Amazon Verified" - yes, I purchased the Zune from Amazon and waited a couple of weeks to actually USE the product before submitting a review of it unlike some of the others here.  Enjoy....Packaging:The Zune comes in a nice small black box that slides open to reveal the contents which are the Zune HD, headphones, USB cable and some paperwork.  It's very stylish and nice.  Not much else to say as the box has been tucked away ever since opening.The look and feel:Ever since the first time I saw pictures on the net of the Zune HD I have wanted one.  Being a previous owner of a couple of different MP3 players the Zune was a must have just for the looks alone.  It really has nice lines and the color is just right; black and silver.  I hate this new term "sexy" and cringe when I hear a guy say it about an electronic device.  It does describe the Zune but I won't call it that.  The weight is very nice and it feels good in your hand.  I love the modern look and if they ever turned this device into a phone I would by one in a heartbeat!  I sometimes hold it to my ear and think, "WoW what a cool phone this would be."  The Zune logo on the back and a simple "ZUNE" on the front - very elegant.  On top is a power on button, the left side a volume rocker and the home button on the front.  The bottom is where you plug in your headphones and next to that is where the docking connector/USB cable plugs in.  It's the kind of device that has looks that will never get old and you want to just keep staring at it.  Very pleasing to have something you want everyone to see.The screen:OLED - it's the big talk these days.  I have a few pictures on my device right now and I have to say they look great.  The blacks are true blacks because the device shuts down the pixels where there should be black so you see true blacks and vibrant colors.  Outside I agree with most folks about the glare.  I have the brightness turned all the way up and it looks nice inside but outside the glare on the glass makes it as if you want to look at the reflection then back to what's on the screen.  I don't see this as a problem as I can't imagine any other electronic device no matter what it is not having this same problem.  For me, I can still see what is on the screen and have no problem with it.  It is just the right size at 3.3 inches.UI interface:Although inside the box there was no manual you would really have to be pretty stupid if you couldn't figure out how to navigate on this device.  Also, on the Zune web page is everything you need to know about how to work this device - who needs paper these days anyway???  The transitions from screen to screen are so fluid, smooth and animated.  The touch only needs to be light and it works flawlessly.  After using the device for a few minutes you get the idea of how to navigate.  You start off with a list of items to choose from on the main menu; pictures, music, apps, ect, etc.  As you click one you dive into that section and dive even deeper as you work what ever you have chosen clicking/touching away.  At all times the home button on the front will take you back to the main menu.  The accelerator zips from landscape to portrait very fast and smooth.  I really like that and feel the tegra chip inside is working for me without strain when I see this - video especially.  Multi touch works well and tapping is fine too especially on the web browser.  Everything is laid out nicely and there is no confusion about how to find something.  This is a plus for first timers and experienced users alike.Zune software: (APPS & Marketplace)This is a free download and helps you manage the Zune contents and updates.  The software mimics some of the icons on the Zune so you quickly identify the UI and what you need to click.  Syncing is a breeze and Zune will let you customize what content you want on the device and what you want Zune to do with it.  I have all of my MP3's in my music folder on my computer and it grabbed all of them when I plugged in for the first time with no problems.  There are some complaits about the software and how it takes forever to download - not true.  There are not a lot of apps right now.  I hope this blossoms as the months go by.  I have downloaded all of them so far as they are free but would gladly pay for any others if they should come about and would be useful.  The weather app is nice and lets you add as many cities as you want and shows you not only current conditions but a five day forecast as well.  The calculator well is a calculator.  The games have been just OK - I feel they do not utilize the Tegra chip but in the future I am sure the games will utilize the chip as it would be a waste if they didn't.  There is a chess game, Texas hold em, space ship shooter, a Bejeweled like game, soduku, and some game where you try to figure out where an item is hidden after mixing up three robots.  All are fun for a short while but I wait for more advanced cool games.  Also the games have ads just before they start - we are talking about 5 seconds of a video clip.  For a free download I think they have every right to put this here.  Also, FOUR to FIVE SECONDS is what we are talking about.  Is it that much time???  Patience!!!!  The marketplace is just something you need to experience.  Music, Videos, Podcasts and more.... EVERYTHING is here for you to choose from.  There is an option for a Zune pass and for $14.99 a month you can go nuts with this and download as much media as yo want - you get to keep 10 songs a month too.  This alone is worth buying the Zune HD.  There is so much content at the market place that I can't really explain.  Imagine walking into a store that has no one in it but you and the inventory consists of basically every kind of music you can think of as well as tons of other types of media just for you alone to walk up and down the isle to choose from.  I just hope for more apps in the future and (I know) this thing just came out so while I wait for apps I will enjoy my Zune....Docking station:I went with the basic Zune HD sync doc ($49) and lucked out with it.  There is an A/V dock you can purchase too($89).  I will tell you the only difference between the two is 1) the price and 2) the A/V doc comes with the HDMI and optical cables.  So if you already have these cables, which most of us do, save $40+ dollars and get the regular sync doc.  I have a review on the doc here on Amazon (where I purchased it) so check that out.  It is nice to just plug it in and sync and charge.  Also I can hook it up to a TV if I wanted or a receiver and utilize the Zune to transfer music and video to my home entertainment center.  The doc compliments the Zune and is very stylish looking and most importantly - Functional.Battery life:The OLED must be doing what it is supposed to do - save power.  I take the train every day to work from Milford, CT to Greenwich, CT and I can go about a week without charging using the Zune about an hour or so a day.  Wonderful! The only thing I have noticed is the back gets warm when in use.  Very strange.  I have been impressed with the battery and hope it stays that way.Screen protectors:I never had one before and at the time I received my Zune there was only Ghost Armor available.  I got one screen protector and had no problem putting it on but being a noob I didn't spray my fingers and my finger print was stuck on the adhesive side.  So I took it off.  Ghost armor was very nice and sent me a replacement but instead of just the screen protector they sent the full body armor - how nice of them!  This time around I was very careful and it went on with no problems BUT....I noticed the screen protector was about an eighth of an inch too short on top.  It was enough to bother me so I took it off.  (I know you are thinking I am nuts)  So I looked and found BodyGarudz on the net.  Not only do they sell TWO screen protectors for the price of ONE but it also fit perfectly.  I used the squeegee and applicator solution from Ghost to put the BodyGaurdz shield on - why?  Because BodyGaurdz's applicator solution wasn't as good as Ghosts and Ghost's squeegee was much better than BodyGaurdz.  So my insane suggestion - go with BodyGaurdz for the screen protector.  One other thing - the Ghost armor seems thicker - I can feel the sharp edges of the plastic now on the Zune because it has full body protection.  I hope they come out with some cool cases so I can rip this stuff off and throw more cash down the drain...!  The BodyGaurdz screen protector is thinner and looks great.Internet: (WiFi)The browser works well on the Zune HD.  I connected to my home network in seconds and at work it's even quicker.  You can tap and multi-touch to zoom in and move the pages around.  The keyboard is OK and can be used in landscape or portrait mode.  You can store pages in favorites and check AOL mail and what not.  It uses Bing to find what you are searching for.  I use it mostly for mail as at work the computers are restricted but WiFi is open.  You can sync via WiFi and download too which is very nice.Music (Sound):There is an internal equalizer with different settings depending on what type of music you are listening too.  It works OK - the music sounds fine to me.  I didn't use the supplied headphones as I have a pair of Sony Ear buds and they work better for my ears.  The music sounds great and the interface is cool - volume can be operated via the rocker on the side or touch screen.  Filtering music, making playlists and and just listening is a pleasure - this is what I got the device for - MUSIC - so everything else is just an added bonus to me.  I haven't bothered with the HD Radio much but it is cool to have. Remember...added bonus....Conclusion:I just love this Zune HD.  It really is functional for what I need it to do and the style, look and feel are just so right.  I hope this review helps you in your decision.  I will continue to update this review in the future so check back and best of luck to you and take care! 
The iPad felt very well protected in the case.3 .
 People I'm talking to can't tell I'm using it, the sound is quiet and clear .
 From my perspective, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages and I do recommend this lens to be your everyday standard camera lens.
Solid enough build quality , feels sturdy.
Cable is nice and long, and flexible ...
 This product has a belt holder (clip) and an inside pocket for a credit card or driver license but not much else.
You can get excellent sharpness and great soft backgrounds with this lens.
The cord to keep it attached to my iPad helps so that I'll never lose this one .
I give it 5 stars for indoor antennas .
and I got this one for for $19.99 first Logitech I tried and its the best mouse ive ever had and it doesnt have to be  12 inches away from your pc to work I got this one to work from more then 15 feet way and works fine.
What I can tell you is that the Sound quality is very good but not as good as my wired Senheisser .I use the in the Office to listen to music, make phone calls, etc…These are a “MUST HAVE” if you ride a motorcycle.
Range is excellent, gets reception over 50 ft away .
Images are clean and crisp, and the autofocus is butter smooth .
Also, it gives the phone a cool blackout look .
This is ridiculously fast .
Store it for fun things like music, photos, video clip, or things you want to share with others.
The picture was outstanding , not one hiccup or stutter, and no buffering at all, not once.
This charger looks good, and functions great, and the price can't be beat .
this mouse is pretty good i ordered it for a good price it shipped fast and got it in a few daysa few things about this mouse is1.
Not only does this work very well as a speakerphone (with two microphones for better noise cancelling) but it can send anything from my phone via FM to my radio (I have an older car without a direct connect).
The case is sturdy and although it doesn't feel like your typical leather case I actually like it .
The mouse is stable and comfortable to use for big hands .
I had kinda low expectations, but this thing is PERFECT in every way.
Sometimes I think about the EOS 60D's speedier performance, more advanced autofocus system and that wonderful electronic level and wonder if I made the right choice .
I have medium sized hand and I have no problem extending my fingers to the "sweet spot" button press area.
(Update)This mouse suddenly started working for me after months of the frustrations I listed below .
It has a really nice look to it and fits perfectly in my case.
One was the main router and the other was an access point connected to the first via Ethernet cable.
There is just so much to praise about this camera - large LCD screen which is very clear, faster focusing, especially when using centre focus point, larger burst rate - ok
The difference is that the Winegard antenna picked up only stations from the direction the antenna was pointed , while my current antenna also picks up stations from 3 nearby cities in other directions.
It picks up way more channels than I thought it would and the picture quality is awesome .
The potential for this once pandora and chrome (from Android) casting is available is why I bought it.
Range is excellent , Basically if you can see the words you are typing on the screen, you will be able to type them.
For the people who complain about wire quality causing knots, I suggest you coil the wire by wrapping it around your index and little fingers in figure 8s and then twist the last bit of wire around the waist of the 8.
The size, material, and quality is great .
I was concerned about reading how the size of the phone-end of this cable would be too large .
Boy was I happy I did! The mouse is very smooth and easy to use .
sure, the build quality is cheap .
 The wires are sturdier , it comes with 3 sizes of ear buds, and  sounds great!
This backpack camera bag is an excellent buy .
Secondly, the build of these headphones are solid .
 The lens is built dust and weather resistant , meaning that it can stand up to a little weather here and there, etc.  Additionally it comes with a pouch and lens hood included.
The only thing that I wanted to add to the existing reviews on this item is that unlike theCase Logic VNA214 14.1-Inch Laptop Attache (Black)which has three toploading slots, this unit has only two toploading slots.
 The fist year I shot with a Canon Rebel T2i (AKA 550D)  The image quality was good on this camera but the speed was lacking .What I didn't realize until I got the 7D was how much the speed was lacking.
Something about the software on the TV I guess, just has some kind of error and if you are watching TV at the time, the picture gets stuck , and the buttons stop working.
The case wakes up or puts to sleep the kindle .
The sound is excellent for earbuds, the ear fit is good with the medium sized inserts and the buttons work well with my iPhone.
It's a cable, not rocket science, so all one needs is a sturdy, well-constructed product that does the job and this certainly does that - because of the way I use it, the cable gets plugged and unplugged from my computer numerous times and the connection is still firm.
 Even if you have other zoom lenses that cover this range as I do, this lens is unbelievably useful in low light to no light situations .
This mouse is excellent for gaming .
I had heard that the new software (Cisco Cloud Connect) was very intuitive and easy to use, despite some early controversy about it.
The lens is tack sharp wide open and focuses quickly and quietly with the center AF point.
 The touch is good and the touchpad works perfectly .
The picture is excellent any way you look at it.
These headphones are amazing .
i have a macbook pro so i don't have many usb ports and this works great and was really cheap!
Working right out of the box.
It's by far the cheapest lens I own (the others are the $700+ Canon 15-85, the $400+ Canon 60 macro, the $400 Tamron 28-75).I considered getting the Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS L lens but for 5x the price you get less zoom range, a heavier and bulkier lens , and perhaps a little more snob appeal with the white barrel and that precious red ring.
Pretty basic ear peices !
If I had but one regret, it's that I couldn't afford the larger version! Picture is absolutely incredible !
 The reception and sound are great for a radio this size, and because it's light and has batteries, I can carry it from room to room, wherever I need it.
The design of the drive is very sleek and stylish .
WHAT!!!Because Iove to read in bed the back- light feature is awesome .
The build quality of these is exceptional. They are thick and well shielded and the picture and sound quality is equal to that of the 8x more expensive Monster cables.
 Unfortunately, this model was a big disappointment:  The picture is great , but the sound was very tinny & flat.
However outside, in my car placed this unit on the dashboard , and I was picking up signals from blocks and blocks away.
Both are low profile , small mice with comfortably positioned 4 & 5 buttons.
The strap could be softer and wider , that's why I gave it 4 stars.
 I figure if 2300 has this much power , the 5500 must have even more power.
This lens is awesome .
This is a wonderful little lens that will give you levels of sharpness, color, and image quality that will blow most consumer (non-f2.8) zooms out of the water.
That said, I have always only used Logitech keyboards and headsets and I love them just as much.
The mouse is very excellent and easy to use has a battery operated for a long time.
The build quality and quality for the price are amazing .
BATTERY:  I understand it has an extremely high quality or state-of-the-art brand of AA rechargeable battery.
I have been a headphone fanatic for thirty years and have owned and used a variety of headphones over those years, to include Stax SR-5, Sennheiser HD-424 and HD-580.
 For me, these headphones are BETTER and half the price of the Etymotics.
First, thank you to all those who take the time to write customer reviews.
The mids sound great .
Picture looks great and no issues .
This one was my fault, I did not ever read about the batteries before I bought the camera, but like above, if the Video was better , I could look the other way.3) Video:
The instructions were easy to follow giving the right color of wires to cut and splice.
A very high quality bag for your DSLR , lenses and accessories.
The case is surprisingly light for its seemingly durable construction .
Installing and running the software was quite straightforward ( I'm on a 3Mbps DSL connection ) .  I find the software to be fairly intuitive , but did note the "strange" English that other reviewers have mentioned.
There is only one pin on the hot shoe plate so I'm pretty sure if it's attached to your camera it doesn't do TTL.
It has great wireless range , is fairly compact yet fully functional.
The picture is amazing , displaying everything in crystal clear images.
 The LCD screen on the back is crisp, clear, and bright so you can see it even in daylight .
This product is easy to set up and works in my 2007 Pontiac G6 Convertible .
The contrast and brightness are great , and my eyeballs are happy.
 It works great but I have 2 issues with it which you need to be aware of.
This is an excellent case for the Nexus 7 .
Personally, I thought it was going to be more difficult to setup from what I've read, but It was actually a breeze despite not being very intuitive .
Best 7$ I've spent on headphones ever! The sound quality is clear and the bass loud .
 The photos are clear and bright , and the "distance" photo options produce really clear pictures even when it is a bit hazy.
 This lens is great and the images that are produced are stunning .
I recieved the airbender bluetooth keyboard and have some pros and cons about it.
This small briefcase can be used for netbooks from 7-10 inches.
 Picture is sharp and crisp .
My laptop's rubber stops on the bottom keep it anchored pretty well, and the fan itself isn't super loud. There is an adjustable dial to change fan speed , but when I'm gaming, I generally just have it on max, and when I'm not gaming, I turn the cooling pad off altogether.
I hope you have better luck , it has gotten a lot of great reviews, but first the sticker(!) covering the contacts on the back fell off, then the card died completely.
To me, there is little special with any cable modem.  This modem is DOCSIS 3.0 which is the most important feature to know.
I can attest that the blue LED is extremely bright , but luckily my outlet is located inside the center console of my car so I can't see it when driving.
The sound quality is amazing .
Picture quality was terrible .
The magnetic tabs hold the case closed ....
It's HUGE, and the 'wingspan' with the three antennas attached makes it about the same footprint as a 15" laptop .
The idea is good, but the execution is pretty bad .Pros: the only popular option for Amazon Instant Video.
This lens is awesome , for the price you can not beat.
I generally buy the cheapest earphones I can find because they end up really abused and only last a few months before the cord gets loose at the earphone or at the jack .
Unfortunately, it is slightly cumbersome just for day to day use, but if you use the iPad rigorously this case is perfect .
 The chips are very tasty and have good texture .
I eat it, the dog eats it , the horses eat it.
The aroma is rich and delicious .Opinions will differ on taste.
a mini recipe booklet with more ideas.
The combination of the salty cashews, sweet pomegranates, and vanilla is delicious and very flavorful .
I find tea for me has medicinal benefits for me (your results may vary.)
The flavor isn't as great as the packaging , though this is the most appealing of the three I've tried.
The tea is good but not very strong.
 The flavors even sounded good , at least most of them: tomato mint, spinach chive, fennel spice, carrot curry, broccoli cilantro and beet cabbage.
 Wow!  This natural oil has so many uses and is extremely healthy !
These are definitely a winner, and any chocolate lover will give these two sticky-gooey thumbs up .
This isn't my favorite tea ever, but it does have a unique flavor that I've never had before - really original, which is hard to come up with in a tea.  I'll buy it again, plus I'll try some of the other interesting looking flavors that Lipton has come out with recently.
This tea is aromatic, smooth, and pleasant. Happily , the taste is not overly strong, as cardamom can be.
I don't usually like plain almonds; when I eat almonds they are usually highly sugared, covered in cinnamon or gooey'd up in honey like the ones you can get warm at the mall.
I tried this The Switch Black Cherry flavor as well as the Watermelon Strawberry .
So, the taste is spice and nothing behind it .I was also amazed that this tea is packaged as 'higher caffeine' because I wouldn't have known that from drinking the tea.
 I was surprised at how reasonable the ingredients were and how low in fat the single serve package was.
Really though, these chips are nice and crunchy while also being light and airy.
Overall, I liked the cookies for their flavor, pleasant aroma and texture .
There is natural flavoring added , which isn't specific and could be misleading.
 The flavor was bland and I did not care for the texture which I found to be pastey .
These cookies are NOT good .Small
 This tea has a mildly sweat citrus flavor that I enjoy with a hint of a green tea flavor.
I had great fears this tea would be somehow too heavy on the vanilla as it seems every product that's labelled as having some vanilla flavoring overdoes it a little.
I love me some oatmeal cookies.  Throw in some chocolate chips instead of raisins and you have the ultimate experience ...sometimes.
As an addicted coffee drinker, I love trying out new flavors .
It has a very strong, deep aroma. Very much like being in a Turkish coffee house .
The filling has a light, creamy lemon taste .
 All the flavors have an earthy taste .
These are the little cups that you use for the tea machines .
 However, the flavor of each of the selections was simply awful .
It's also very good for making popcorn .
The cookies are perfect for a light treat with a cup of tea , and the thinner size keeps them from being too sweet or filling.
This unique flavor is perfect served hot or iced .
The shelf life is long enough for you to buy it in bulk, and Amazon's price is good , so treat yourself to a proper cuppa.
It reminds me of the days when I was young drinking Boones Farm Apple wine on a Friday night .
Overall, the cookie is bland .
However, the flavor seemed a little weak compared to other kinds of teriyaki beef jerky that I have had .
I, however, thought that the flavor was perfect .
 It is a mix of whole grains, blueberries, and flax seeds that are then lightly flavored with vanilla.  The different ingredients all have different tastes and consistencies that make this mix feel good in your mouth.
The nuts are what make this bar tolerable. The texture without them is unpleasant .
This stuff is strong. It's billed as a coffee drink, but it really is more of an espresso, so keep that in mind .
The tea has a nice spice flavor, medium dark reddish brown coloring, and light aroma .
I use the same mug I usually drink my lipton black tea in every day.
This tea has a warm, spicy flavor to it, sort of like chai. Chai is not one of my favorite kinds of teas, but if you like it, then you'll probably like this.
These cookies would be better if they were made with rolled oats instead of oat flour.
I love Ritz crackers, but these are dry and crumble easily , as other reviewers have said.
 The aroma while it is brewing is outstanding and it really delivers once you take a drink.
The flavor is excellent and the tea bag is a pretty cool design.
(While stevia, which is used as a sweetener in this beverage can have a bitter taste, that is not the flavor that I experienced.)What I liked :*
 Well, although the sauce is tasty and creamy , there is very little zing (hence the 4 stars).
Lipton Herbal Pyramid Tea Blackberry Vanilla has a nice aroma that features herbs , vanilla, and dark fruit with some tea lurking in the background.
 This is good water .
 The tea comes out perfectly without having to steep it .
Well, unless it's bacon, bacon doesn't need chocolate .When I saw this Nature's Path, I thought it would be a great replacement for my typical evening treat of Cocoa Krispies.
The ranch flavor isn't very pronounced, but it has a slightly spicy kick to it .
Numi Teas are the most wonderful teas I've tasted in a long time .
Lipton To Go Stix Iced Green Tea Mix is convenient and refreshing .
 I like that there is only one side of the cookie in these, but those looking for more crunch may want to get the regular fudge dipped oreos , I do not know if they make a mint version of those.
 The oils are nice and pack some flavor .
The actual Taco Bell Restaurants used to have a taco salad that I liked and, unexplainably, they discontinued it -- but by incorporating the ingredients that they formerly used and by topping the salad with this dressing, it tastes much the same to me.
I am looking forward to trying more Prima Taste stuff based on how good this was.  Highly Recommended !
 The coffee is smooth , and the flavor is subtle but definitely there.
I love the flavor of this !
 Perfect for snacking .
If you are extra sensitive, beware that this food is processed in a facility with nuts , dairy, wheat and soy.
Have been enjoying this tea with the warmer days here.
My husband and I use a lot of organic coconut oil for baking and as an addition to vegetable dishes .
This tea is very aromatic. It has a very smooth flavor. Others have noticed that it is very sweet, and it is more sweet than black tea normally is.
 The Fruit Thins are a great alternative to a regular processed cookie , however, and are 140 calories and only 5 grams of fat for 3.
 It has a naturally sweet flavor without being artificial or too "sticky" sweet.
 I recommend this green tea because the lemon adds to the flavor and brings out the best in the tea leaves which makes the tea taste bright and lively .
The tea has a nice spice flavor , medium dark reddish brown coloring, and light aroma.
Also, having been through the shipping system, many of the cookies were broken .
The Viva Labs product is "extra virgin." Since it hasn't been refined or heavily processed, it has a very mild coconut taste and aroma , both of which were very pleasant to my palate and nose.
 It's got the tiniest tinge of spice , but isn't powerful in the least; the taste of this product does not qualify as "bold."
These are diced-dried organic apples with a dash of cinnamon; they are tasty and have a nice crunchy flavor .
I really enjoy the flavor of ginger , so I was really hoping that the ginger flavor would be prominent in this tea.
 I really enjoyed the taste and flavor .
 The flavor is very balanced in body, mouth feel, acidity and spiciness .
 The flavor is pleasant and not overly sweet , and the peppermint flavor is obvious but not as strong as I expected- a good thing, in my view.
 Spicy, sweet, flavorful, fun, crispy, lower fat than chips , I loved it.
 The cookies were fresh and delicious .
Kettle Brand chips don't have trans fats , MSG or artificial flavors and colorings.
There are hints of cardamom in this, but just like theGinger Pu'erh Tea Bags, 16-CountI have a hard time finding spiciness in the flavor .The package contains 16 individually sealed non-GMO biodegradable tea bags.
 Viva Labs' coconut oil smells great, tastes great, and adds a hint of coconut/sweetness to whatever I cook .
I especially love this blend when eating a Caramel Apple Cobbler Clif Bar .
I don't see myself ever reordering this tea; it's just too strange a flavor and too weak for my taste .
The cookie advertise all natural and they are good .
 The texture is OK, it definitely is a very strong chocolately flavor , and overall will satisfy the need for a chocolate cookie.
 It has a wonderful flavor .
 The licorice itself has a beautiful rich color and is made from cane sugar and tastes like real licorice unlike some which are more waxy and tough and lacking authentic flavor .
There is very little tea taste, you can taste a fruity flavor and a little honey
The taste of the Pomegranate licorice is strong and sweet .
This does indeed meet that specification.
The 100-calorie pack is very convenient --it's perfect for an afternoon snack, or as a substitute for a granola bar in the morning.
 I think the outer cookies were great as well, so no complaints from me -
 The coffee has a very strong aroma of vanilla , a lot like freshly baked cookies.
 This Blackberry Vanilla sounded delicious ,, not a flavor combination I had seen before.
This one is definitely different .
I am a big fan of all types of cookies , including all varieties of Fig Newtons.
The tea is decaf , and works equally well night or day.
There are 4 grams of fiber , which is decent.
I also won't pick apart how authentic the flavors are, because again, personally I think the taste is pleasant and I would make it a point to purchase this flavor in the future .Possibly because of the tea bag material, or maybe because of the chunkiness of the tea, it brews fast, making a drinkable cup of tea in just over a minute.
 The price was great for this but in the variety pack there might have been a few 'bold brew' that tasted like coffee .
 The cookie is thin and light and crispy .
Perhaps the other flavors might be better but the orange tangerine had a bad aftertaste.
 I will say that the flavor is pleasant and it is nice to drink , but I don't see any conduit between the taste and the flavor proclaimed on the bottle.
 The tea isn't bad , I just think it's average and haven't awarded it a higher star rating.
I've wanted to try dry rendang for a long time.
FLAVOR: While eating the bar , I could definitely taste the cherries.
 the taste is good , a bit tart, slightly sour.
 These cookies are fantastic!  I have long been a fan of ginger snaps but have often been disappointed by the bland, tasteless versions I found in the stores.
 This green tea is mild , and has a very light color and a smooth taste.
This tea is so delicious , so fragrant, that for the first time, I choose to drink a hot tea without sweetener of any kind.
This herbal tea is well balanced and pleasant .
the price was great too .
The flavors of the teas aren't overly strong as one would have assumed from smelling the tea bag .
I'm not much of a juice drinker , but my daughter is so I bought this for her to try out.
 The ingredients are all natural , so it's a snack I feel comfortable serving to my children.
My wife couldn't really taste the basil and she thought it was bland .So let's put it this way.
I am sorry folks but this review went down very fast, I am sorry I cannot recommend this drink due to it's over use of sweetener.
It is very simple to use and the flavor was just fantastic .
What I do know is that these chips are very good - crispy and airy , and not at all like baked chips (which I never did like).I really like these chips, both the taste and the texture.
Very taste little cookies with rich chocolate fudge.  The cookies were fresh and delicious .
The flavor is strong and enjoyable if you like ginger and dark , caffeinated drinks.
(Also, make the Passion Fruit less dominant than it is.) By combining all three flavors, it becomes too much .
steep the teabags, and then add the sugar, cream, etc, before enjoying a cup of tea .
 I'd certainly give it a go if another flavor was available , but Mango just didn't do it for me.
If you take a little bit of it and rub it into your skin it moisturizes and makes your skin very smooth .
The pods were novel back in 2011, and the price of other K-Cups had gone up much more than I liked , so I decided to give this brand a try.
The blackberry vanilla tea has a nice aroma and a great taste.
 It has a sweet and spicy taste to it that is wonderful.
All you need is a regular bottle of spring water or whatever you want to use, in goes the powder and voila, instant iced tea drink (well, instant in that you have to shake it first). The flavor (mango pineapple in this case) is very tasty and refreshing.
This water is a nice little pick me up, but not something I plan on buying .
Vitamin Squeeze Energy Drink Fruit Punch isn't overly sweet & is similar in flavor to the powdered drinks , but  also contains added vitamins, minerals & caffeine.
I love dark chocolate , so I was excited to try this Newman's Own Dark Chocolate bar.
I drink Lipton iced tea and this tea is great but I thought it was a little to expensive.
A tasty meal that my entire family praised , including my finicky older father enjoyed.
 BUT, we will not be buying these again which is why despite amazing taste and good ingredients I am only  giving it 3 stars.
I really like the one I got.)Anyway, the tea itself is excellent and it provides the great flavor that we have come to expect from Lipton.
Admittedly, I am not a big French Roast fan as it tends to taste bitter to me and acidic .
 It's quick, convenient, and easy .Now, what sets this Vitamin Squeeze Energy Drink apart from competitors such as the MIO things?
 I might buy this if it was on sale AND I had a coupon for it; Newman's Own stuff tends to be a bit pricy for me .
Though in my opinion this coffee is way overpriced as the flavor is lacking and it still manages to be bitter.
These kind of taste like apple potato chips.
I enjoyed it so much , I will be purchasing more.
I was quite excited to try Lipton's new Tea & Honey To Go packets.
Not what I would call a cold season tea, Blackberry Vanilla Caffeine Free Herbal Tea from Lipton has a very interesting fruity flavor , more reminiscent of a spring day than the upcoming fall season.
I originally purchase this product to use in my hair as a moisturizer (mixed with water) during my transition of going natural
Tea isn't a beverage for me , it's an event, starting from boiling the water to when the last drop vanishes down my esophagus.
 Good quality decaf green tea is really hard to find in my local area; thanks again Amazon!
 I'm a pretty big fan of tea , so I naturally jumped at the chance to get some nice chai tea.
This tea is perfect as an iced tea (3 bags for 2 quarts) or for a nice cup of hot peppermint tea to settle the tummy or clear your nose/throat.
By itself, this tea is very strong and bitter (almost soapy).
 The Lemon Balm, Lemon Grass, and Verbena work well with the green tea , taking away the 'dry' aspects of green tea and making it a bit more 'green leafy' and lemony.
These chips are very crisp , with a strong potato flavor, but also have a slightly burnt taste.
What can I say, these cookies are yummy !
The pyramid shape of the tea bag allows those pieces more room to spread through the water so the infusion of flavor is stronger .The
Got the box yesterday and have already used 4 teabags ...
It smells great it taste amazing.
Illy's coffee drink has exactly the right balance of sweetness and coffee flavor .
I loved the taste and the texture.
Vitamin Squeeze Energy drink is a concentrated fruit punch flavored water additive .
I find that the chocolate is incredibly creamy, and the peanut butter center is not as crisp as a traditional Butterfinger bar, but creamier with just enough "Butterfinger crunch" to add interest.I like how they are packed. Unlike competing peanut butter cups, there are no paper wrappers around the candy. The candy is simply formed in the shape of a cup. I like this because it's less packaging and requires less effort to unwrap and consume.I consider this product a treat -- a candy product, after all. So I'm not going to belabor the nutritional value of the product.
The Fischer & Wieser Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce does add flavor and sweetness to food .
Like any food product, your opinion of the product will depend on your taste preferences and also your expectations .
My favorite tea isYogi Green Tea Mint Garden, which is just green tea and some mint.
 The taste was fine , just not the sensation.
This tea is very good .
Tea Bags by Numi, the aroma was a bit off putting with an odor that seemed slightly bitter and earthy .
 It's very mild and smooth tasting both on its own and when honey and milk are added.  I'm left with a neutral reaction .
The candy is creamy and smooth with the caramel swirls blended in at the same consistancy as the chocolate so there's no problem with caramel sticking to your teeth.
 But hands down,Pure Bar Organic Chocolate Brownie, Raw Fruit & Nut Bar, 1.7-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)is my favorite and I love it best !
Numi Tea has an admirable mission statement: " Numi inspires well-being of mind, body and spirit through the simple art of tea .
I have tried more than 6-7 lipton flavors and each one of them is good in its own way .
This chocolate is only 54% cocoa solids .
All in all, this is a great food -- tastes great, has wonderful ingredients, doesn't have unnecessary additives, and is very convenient.
 If you've tried the Lara bars I would say the flavor and consistency are very similar .
Flavor: It has a reasonably bold flavor, which I like (I find k-cups are often weak in flavor relative to what you'd get at a coffee shop for instance).
As we've all seen, there are numerous energy drinks out there. Many of them are loaded with artificial chemicals.
Overall the chips are tasty, they have very nice potato flavor and a great crunch !
It's very tasty but very high in calories .
The color of the bar isn't appetizing; however, the taste is pleasant though a little too nutty for my preference .
Since there is actual peppermint filling, as opposed to just peppermint-flavored cookie, I liked these cookies very much .
Not what I would call a cold season tea, Blackberry Vanilla Caffeine Free Herbal Tea from Lipton has a very interesting fruity flavor , more reminiscent of a spring day than the upcoming fall season.
I have been drinking a lot of green tea , every day, for about 8 years, when I heard that it might help with allergies.
I just tried this Puroast Low Acid Coffee and from first impressions the coffee is very nice and the low acid nature helps with the sour-y aftertaste that I generally experience when drinking black coffee.
The best thing about this mint- mocha coffee is that the flavor is more subtle than in a lot of flavored brews .
This version of the water flavor enhancer has too little flavor for too much money .
the coconut flavor was a bit too strong for putting on flavored ice creams.
 The apple and cinnamon flavors are mild and natural -tasting, and the texture of the crackers is very good.
The tea has a nice spice flavor, medium dark reddish brown coloring, and light aroma .
They're just sweet enough to satisfy without loading you up with sugar .These are a winner.
 I eventually realized that there were two general classes of teas : those padded with hibiscus and rose hips, and those more pure (less flowery) in flavor.
It is nearly impossible to get my teenager to drink water, so these Mio flavor enhancers are a lifesaver in our house! I personally prefer the peach tea one because it has a more natural flavor , and I think this one is a bit sharp on the throat if you use enough to get a good flavor (not really a burning sensation but you feel it, if that makes sense).
 It was the addition of the ginger that prompted me to try this as I love the flavor of ginger , so I was disappointed to find that I can neither smell nor taste any ginger in this tea.
This tea is nice with a strong hint of fruitiness .
Inside is a white chocolate filling that is DELICIOUS. Several guests have tried these, and it's fun watching their eyes go wide when the flavor hits. These make for a decadent treat and look really classy left in a bowl for guests. Of all the individually wrapped bonbons or truffles I've had, I think these are my favorite. The white chocolate really is just so luxurious and delicious .FIVE STARS!
The fusion of exotic ingredients creates new flavors that work quite nicely. So if you think this might be too hot, fear not, it is just very tasty. It is an excellent grilling sauce .
I don't care if it is just juice concentrate, reconstituted with carbonated water instead of plain water -- the stuff tastes good !
This aromatic tea is pure pleasure - spicy, fragrant and relaxing, while at the same time being an ideal first-tea-of-the-day wake-up .
I was pleasantly surprised by this drink .
Whenever there is a bowl of them at a party, you will find me nearby happily munching away .
Even the aroma while brewing smelled artificial.The other reviewers who mention how greatly improved the flavor became once cream was added is an indication of a consistent problem.  I love the taste of coffee and like it unadorned - no cream or sugar. I only add cream if I am in a restaurant and the coffee doesn't taste good. I use the cream to doctor-it-up in hopes of salvaging some of the flavor and masking the poor aspects whether caused by bitterness or coffee that's been sitting in the pot too long.  This coffee is no exception, the cream vastly improved the drinkability, but the action is akin to smearing butter on a day old roll. Underneath it is still a stale roll, and although the butter tastes delicious, it would not be accurate to call the combination a buttery delight.On the positive side, flavored coffees are usually light body and the Gevalia is definitely medium body. The packaging is quite attractive and the name is clever, but in the end may work against the product because Dark Chocolate Truffle evokes a clear taste profile for most people and the coffee doesn't live up to the name. I am rating the coffee three stars instead of less because if the purchaser always uses cream in their coffee, many of the taste issues I encountered should be if not resolved, at least mitigated. 
I like the texture of these chips .
I'm trying my first bar of PURE Organic Cherry Cashew Raw Fruit and Nut Bar as I type this.
 It has an excellent flavor , much better than other cardboard varieties and the berries seemed real, notrubbery.
Taste - The chunks are like little explosions of flavor.
I take mine with just a pinch of salt, enough to enhance both the savory and sweet notes, and the flavors were delicious .
Very pleasant tea -drinking experience indeed from beginning to end.
It has all the savory flavors of the soup without heaviness and calories .
I used to love Tazo but Numi is my new favorite.
This is a very good tasting granola .
Taste ?
Compared to other teas, this has a light spicy flavor .
But I must say that I was expecting a more robust tea all around (pu'eh may taste like dirt on its own, but it is a pretty full-flavored tea) .
 It has enhanced each one of them like no other coconut oil I have used in the past .
 But, this one is really good .
Since I am a fan of flavored coffee , particularly coffee flavored with natural ingredients, I knew I had to try this coffee.
The flavor of this tea is somewhat subtle even though I let it steep for several minutes .
At the recommended time, the flavor was just piquing .
Practically perfect like Mary herself! Boy these cookies are awesome - it's a good thing I got only one cookie cup - I can see eating these for ten days straight.
The flavor is just okay .
 The chocolate flavor is super rich .
These Peeled Snacks Organic Apple Clusters are a healthy choice if you want something sweet with a good crunch .
 However, the cookies themselves are relatively small (just slightly larger than a Thin Mint or Oreo in diameter), and I/we did note a chemical taste not unlike that found inChips Ahoy Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies .
Though it is labeled as blackberry vanilla, I did not taste any vanilla flavor , nor is vanilla listed as an ingredient.
 The bread was fresh for days right up until the last crumb was gobbled up.
What's more, this flavor is very nice with a touch of Cointreau for a sophisticated and festive cocktail.
This tea is quite good in the morning as a wake up for those of us who have to avoid caffeine.
I drink Lipton iced tea and this tea is great but I thought it was a little to expensive.
 The candy is good, if nothing special, and is small enough to even please those on diets .
 I've been enjoying Numi teas lately because they make an excellentNumi Organic Tea Golden Chai, Full Leaf Black Tea , 18-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 3)and they are one of the few mainstream purveyors ofNumi Organic Tea Emperor's Puerh, Full Leaf Black Tea, 16-Count Tea Bags (Pack of 2), an excellent aged Chinese tea.
My husband enjoys the 'taste' of stevia and says this stuff is good.
 While the flavors are blended well together, the overall flavor is fairly mild , even with a good amount of steeping.
The ingredients are good for you but with not nuch flavor .
This drink has a pleasant aroma and a spicy /sweet flavor.
Are your children asking for soft drinks, but you don't want them to have all that added sugar?  This is a wonderful alternative .
 From what I've read, I believe Pu'erh tea is supposed to have health benefits , which is always a benefit.
 They are crunchy chips that are not fried, and not baked, but created using heat and pressure to make them pop into being .
The cookies are moist and soft , with a layer of chocolate in the center.
The woodsy taste of this sauce is just right.
 With each bite I took, I liked the flavor and really wanted to like the bar , but I just couldn't get past the texture.
At the end of this test both sides of my body felt equally moisturized .Pros of Viva Labs product- it will definitely last longer than a lotion moisturizer & lack of multiple ingredients reduces risk that your skin may react to it.
(And I am!) The whole mix of flavors is nice and this stuff is very crunchy.
 The flavors of the peppermint weren't overpowering , and you still get the flavor of the latte coming through just fine.
This is good coffee - not weak, and not overly strong, but the vanilla flavor is a little strong for my preference .
The cookies arrived fresh and in good shape .
In short: It's good food .
The K cups just makes things easier and maybe even more acceptable to drink tea at the office .
a very complex flavor , and can command rather high prices.
 Not so this new Dark Chocolate Truffle flavor .
I drink tea every day and I love green tea and all sorts of chinese tea and earl grey, etc.
 Yes, the cookies are soft, but they really aren't as "gooey" as the name implies .
 Yes, the tea bags looka little bit different than other tea bags, but they steep just fine and the tea tastes great .
 I do, however, like this tea and thought it had a good taste with no aftertaste like some teas, and unlike other teas with a ginger predominance the ginger didn't overwhelm me or leave a bad aftertaste.
I think it has a hint of smokey flavor that is almost wood-like .
 The aroma is amazing .
 I think only six or seven cookies survived intact, the rest were in variously sized crumbs.)Now, biting into one of these cookies, you won't immediately think, "Gee, I can't tell if these are homemade or store-bought!"  You can definitely tell the difference.
This is a very tasty and spicy beverage , which may not be your cup of tea, so to speak.
 That said, the cookies have a purity of flavor that's usually lacking in most store-bought treats.
A nice mix of berries (dehydrated) and crunchy, crunchy cereal that has a slight sweetness but none of the prefab who-knows-what of supermarket cereal .I grew up enough to know what is good for me but still appreciate a fun cereal and this is one of them.
I love raspberries and hot sauces , so my expectations were pretty high.
 It is kind of hard to describe the taste, but it has a nice balance of sweet and tart.
 The price is great .
If you like steel cut oats you will love this .
I've tried to write this review three times now, and every time I get a power blip or something happens to the browser and I lose it.
Rancid is a process of mother nature and has nothing to do with organic, conventional , GMO or the type of seed since rancid has to do with oil.
It is firm but not hard, so you actually have something to chew on and the taste is amazing .My
The flavor is not great , but its comparable with the other energy drinks out there and you will get your caffeine fix.
The flavor is great and it doesn't have a nasty after taste like some of those other energy drinks.
I tend to stay away from some berry teas because the flavor can almost be tart tasting .
I found the aroma to be very complex and pleasant .If you like a bold tea, the flavor here will not disappoint.
I really like the flavor of this tea .
At just 50 calories in a 6.8 ounce can, it seems almost impossible that the drink should be this good. At once slightly sweet with the bitter tinge of a good cup of coffee, illy issimo rivals the Starbucks' espresso shots for quality quick canned coffee drinks .
This is my first time trying PURE fruit and nut bar.
Our company is rooted in the principle of creating a healthful product that nurtures people and honors the planet .
 They are definitely yummy and not too chocolatey , but I will say I expected more "gooey" from them and really inside the fudge is thicker and not really gooey at all.
Aside from the price , I have to say it is my new favorite 'brand' of water.
It's made from natural ingredients and doesn't contain artificial flavors , preservatives, hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup.
This bar, however, was nice and moist (which my husband particularly enjoyed).And we were both in shock to find that there was absolutely no sodium in this bar -
Too much oil for my taste Still like em and the price is decent ..
Nothing artificial .
 I do love tea , and I love trying different types and flavors.
The water is on the pricier side but I still recommend giving Smartwater a try.
As far as flavor goes, the ginger was just too strong and nasty .
 This cereal was perfect for that.
First is taste - The taste is fine .
 It has a unique flavor ....strong but not bitter though it does have a bit of an after taste.
The Ginger Tea is a pleasant cuppa , and I will definitely try other varieties of Numi Tea.
a bit bland , so I ordered this to see how it tasted.
Excellent meal replacement bar .I really really really enjoyed the cherry cashew date nut bar.
And since I love ginger and lemon flavors , I love this intensity.
 She also noted that it had a subtle sweet quality .
Anyway, enough of my babbling ...this is a good tea.
 The most important thing is, it's DELICIOUS .
This tea is great .
When I opened the first pouch for the Ginger Pu'erh
 The taste was fine, just not the sensation .
Numi Cardamom Pu'erh tea is a delicious and flavorful treat for tea lovers .
This tea is absolutely delicious !
The cookies are crispy but also crumbly , if you know what I mean.
 Good quality decaf green tea is really hard to find in my local area; thanks again Amazon!
The main problem I had was the high sweetness factor which I assume was used to cover up the taste of the non-traditional ingredients required for the bars to be labeled gluten free.
 It has a really enticing aroma and didn't have that burnt taste that you sometimes experience with some of the darker roasts.
 However I don't like the taste .
As I've already said, the smell of vanilla is strong , but the actual vanilla flavor is very slight.
Nutritionally speaking this is a decent package , but it was in no way good enough to justify the price.
Tea is my favorite beverage for just about any occasion .
 The flavor wasn't bad, but it was overpoweringly blackberry .
I tested the tea to see if it would become bitter if the tea bag was left in, and even after 15 minutes it still did not pick up the nasty flavor that dark teas usually infuse after the tea bags are left in too long .
Peeled Snacks Organic Apple Clusters Cinnamon Crunch didn't agree with my taste buds and I didn't enjoy the taste of these at all .
The flavor on the whole was not bad , but certainly not anything I would pay extra for.
This is a wonderful quality white jasmine tea .
 This tea brought me right back to those days, it has a pleasing aroma and nice ginger taste without being overwhelming.
 This one was spicy -- but not overpowering, and had a really nice flavor.
This is NOT your usual type of tea .
This is the third brand I taste and so far, it's the best one .
I was skeptical that packaged cookies would be soft, but these cookies actually are very soft around the edges .
In one pouch, there is 1.4g of sodium which is 60% of the recommended daily maximum.
 Then again, I generally don't add anything to any green tea .
And you get that nice, subtle coconut smell … mmmmmm, does it make my wife smell yummy!I got a sample of this from Viva Labs for review, but I will definitely be placing an order for some more.
But I suppose that makes them air-tight which is a good thing .
Gluten free, the best product for me when I go camping since all I do is add lemon and tomato and that way I never have to worry about paying arm and leg for that lousy, awful tasting dry foods.
---Unfortunately, this tea wasn't very good as iced tea .
 They are pretty crunchy , and I found some of the pieces to be a bit harder than others, so those with soft or sensitive teeth may want to tread carefully.
The flavors of the teas aren't overly strong as one would have assumed from smelling the tea bag.
So far I have used it to season chicken, fish and vegetables and have had good results .
 Also, the price was decent - I'm happy.
Likes:- Smell: these smell fresh, wheat, cinnamon, and apple aroma.- Texture: these are a little firmer and crunchier than our usual name brand.- Flavor: good overall flavor .
This tea is good , but important to only leave it steeping for about two minutes-
I didn't particularly find it any more refreshing than any other water .
 Still, the flavor was a bit too bland for me, and I like a mild coffee.
All of the "Sparkling ICE Spring Water" flavors are delicious .
The cinnamon is way too strong.  It made me sick at my stomach , and the aftertaste is horrible.
The lovely aroma was so enthralling that the family member who dislikes /hates coffee insisted on having a cup.
Honestly none of the instant coffees are any good , just get up 5 minutes earlier and make a pot of real coffee, hello.
The price point is a bit lower now, which is a good thing , but it's still a bit steep for less than seven ounces of something you can brew at home.
I first saw these cookies at "Big Lots" discount store. They were on sale there for $1.80. Their appearance in Big Lots means that they didn't sell especially well or too many were made so they were shuffled off to an outlet store. This doesn't have to be a bad sign, but it often reflects that a product isn't the most popular among consumers.These are not the best that Keebler has to offer in their cookie line up, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. On the plus side, the cookies have a decent texture and are crispy and fresh. The filling has a good lemon flavor, albeit an artificial one. They're also very sweet, but most sandwich cookies with a cream-style filling are. That's often the purpose of the filling, but it can be overpowering cumulatively if you're not having a drink along with them.Usually when I sample a product which I'm not crazy about, but I think it's generally okay, I wonder who the target market is supposed to be. Given the Keebler brand mascots, I tend to think they're targeting children, but lemon isn't that popular a flavor among kids (who tend to prefer chocolate or vanilla). My sense is that these are not going to really appeal to most kids are are too sweet for most adults. This may explain why they're on sale at Big Lots. Though not a bad cookie, I wouldn't go out of my way to have these again. 
 It's hard to describe what the PURE bar (blueberry flavor) tastes like, but it's not an unpleasant flavor .
The fruit punch flavor is nice , and having this product sure makes it convenient to add those "vitamins" to your drink.
The flavor of peppermint is not very strong .
The aroma is great when I open the package and dumped the ground coffee into my coffeemaker.
As with any food or drink , the taste is personal and subjective.
This particular flavor is quite different from the standard powdered mixed drinks , having a strong honey taste with a light strawberry twist.
I've never heard of Pu'erh
 I do like some flavored teas, especially cinnamon , which cover up some of the tea taste and once in a while I will have some chamomile tea to relax.
I tried the wild blueberry organic pure bar .
About this product, it must be said: I didn't have very high hopes .
 Possibly for those who are used to eating a lot of sugar and processed cookies, these might be the ticket, but I'll stick with the classic Oreo , which has a rich cocoa flavor and has never disappointed me.
The smell and consistency of this licorice are good , but the flaver is quite disappointing.
They are in fact very soft and have a great chocolate taste .
Perfect with hamburgers or a sandwich, these chips are crispy and tasty !
 The coffee didn't have an artificial flavor and was actually quite good .
 It has a nice chocolate taste and nice aroma .
a GOOD pancake when being gluten free.
This tea will be a regular now in my rotation but it may well be my regular morning tea , with others rotated in place sparingly. WONDERFUL!
 Both flavors are distinctive .
 Switch tastes like tangy, carbonated orange drink , and that's fine with me!
Both the flavor and texture are superior , and I like that it's organic.
There's a calculated "crisp" flavor that a keeps it from getting bland and must be coming from a blend of apple and lemon juices and it must be due to the right apples because you can't taste lemon.
The flavor of it was very delicate and relaxing.
 Some of these teas were black teas, while others were green teas .
These cookies tasted fresh and crisp , with a subtle vanilla butter flavor that is good, but didn't insist I eat more.
There is just a remarkable variety of teas available and in general their flavor is a bit more intense. But I also like the convenience of bag teas .
 The flavor is delicious and it's very refreshing .
 As Illy is a respected "high end" brand of coffee, I had higher hopes than usual and overall, I was not disappointed .I poured  the contents into a glass with two ice cubes.
 The flavoring is present but not overpowering, which I enjoyed .
I get this coffee from my Amazon subscribe program and the price is excellent .
 This creates a rich (but not overly strong) soothing vanilla flavored coffee .
 And, I sensed a metallic like aftertaste .
 Recommended for taste and low acid , not for cost.
Cardamom Pu'erh Tea Bags, 16-Count*Rich pu-erh tea blended with spicy cardamom*Pu-erh is traditionally used as a slimming tea and to aid digestion*100% real, organic, non-GMO verified tea and ingredients*Pu-erh has more antioxidants that green teaAh, my first time trying Cardamom Pu'erh Tea .
 The flavor is fantastic .
This is pretty good cereal .
These are really good licorice: chewy, sweet, GREAT flavor .
The Ginger Tea is a pleasant cuppa, and I will definitely try other varieties of Numi Tea.
 Even though the beans are pre-ground, the flavor after brewing was still deep and rich , and the aromatic fragrance of vanilla still permeated after I opened the vacuum sealed bag.
 The costumes are magnificent and they wear them more than once to give the Granthams and Crowleys more of a reality.
 I think he does a wonderful job as Mr.  Darcy and Jennifer Ehle does a wonderful job as Miss Elizabeth Bennet .
The movie ending was great .
I have now watched the entire nine season run of "The X-Files" from start to finish on DVD and my primary reaction to the final season was that it was not Mulder that I missed for most of these last 20 episodes but Scully.
 The tributes (forced to participate contestants) must contend with each other, the weather and days in a technologically controlled battlefield in which the goal is to try and survive while killing all others .
There really is nothing funning about the Holocost .
The acting was so cheesy , the story line was lacking, the effects were poor, there were a ton of "3D" effects that were waaay over the top (we did not watch it in 3D--because we hate 3D--so it was even worse because of that).
The sets are spectucular, the costumes are so authentic I lose myself and think they are really from that period instead of a dramatization.
The acting was very good .
 The sound quality isn't as good , and I noticed a few drop outs here and there, but considering the age and scarcity of the material, I think the Roan Group did and excellent job in restoring this fine film.
"Open Water" is a low-budget, mildly thrilling shark flick .
The acting was overdone .
a GOOD movie about Young adults being forced to kill other young adults watch Battle Royale.
The sound is crisp and clear and during the battle scenes is very impressive .
Acting was tremendous .
Season two is just getting on my nerves !
This is a dark film in all senses of the word with very few likeable characters .
the suspense was great .
The suspense slowly builds up because we don't know what kind of movie we are in for .
The costumes and staging are superb , and the direction is sensitive to the subject matter.
The direction by Ang Lee is flawless in almost every frame .I was angered by the film for not giving a clear explaination for one of the character's death.
 From the start, Episode 1 had a lot going against it .
When they get there they discover...a load of confusing, muddled nonsense that is far from frightening and is only just barely above mildly interesting .Alien was populated with 7 single or double-syllabled characters that felt real and authentic thanks to their quiet interactions and dialogue.
This movie was fantastic !
In confronting the issue of drug addiction , Aronosky (who co-wrote the screenplay with Hubert Selby Jr.) has chosen to tell two stories that, although they run along basically parallel tracks for most of the film's duration, do occasionally intersect.
I can understand why everyone would want this to succeed, but there are three reasons why it didn't.
Her performance is perfect , and Christina Ricci as her selfish, lesibian lover gives a performance that is also well worth watching.
Brian De Palma's Body Double is an underrated gem of a suspense /thriller.
The costumes and sets are gorgeous , and it's fun to watch if only for that reason.
The script was poor and the storyline didn't make sense.
 The picture quality and sound are fantastic , and I didn't find any green tint in the movies.
The cast is in top notch performance, the special effects are fantastic but not overwhelms the movie, God, everything is fantastic here .
Greatest movie from Disney since the Lion King! The plot is great and the two princess are extremely lovable !
Some of the plot was a bit disappointing .
the writers kept it a little too big , basically made both villains nearly invinsible, then at the end gave us a laughable end-of-villian finish.
Bought this for my wife as a chick flick .
Her performance is outstanding .
The acting is stellar , in particular Portman and Owen (both nominated for Academy Awards) as the initial foils for their partners Law and Roberts, respectively.
 And - By the way - I am a Christian (NOT Catholic) who was brought up Unitarian .
 It's a very interesting and important scene in the movie and that's why I like it.
Couples are central to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER throughout its seven-year run, so how might one pair the seasons themselves?If Seasons One and Two of BUFFY are Origin Years-- establishing the show's mythos in Season One , then stretching and deepening them in year Two-- then Seasons Three and Four are definitely Years of Consolidation, playing with, clarifying and reorganizing the show's fictional universe and strengthening the bond between show and viewer before diving into the darker, riskier events of Seasons Five and Six (which we might call Years of Daring and Yearning).
 But seeing as the studio gave Bryan Singer all the money in the world, plenty of time, and quite a bit of creative control and artistic license (I cannot imagine that DC comics was eager to have Superman portrayed as a deadbeat dad!), there should be more than just a few good moments .
The acting was amazing .
The animation is very special and in 3D it is wow.
 The acting was much better, the script was emotional , but not hokey.
In order to produce a magnificent achievement for the paying customers, the movie must remain true (to an extent) to the books created by J.K. Rowling and the whimsy and fantasy of those tales must remain no matter the cost .
 Just make sure you give it some room, and wide-screen DVD with which to do it.
 Most notably , the film also introduces the Minions - Gru's short, yellow workers that speak gibberish and often find themselves engaging in an endless amount of comical hijinks.
 The violence and gore are severe and off -putting, which is a shame because the movie is such an effective suspense thriller beyond these moments that people who are looking for nerve-frying suspense of a classic nature, but can't stomach the carnage will be missing out.
This is a must see film, Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes are excellent in this and the film is very well written.
I give it two stars, let me give 5 stars to the cast - incredible acting , especially from Russel Crowe.
a superb storyline ), into a spectacular and spooky film.
Despite some problems with the middle sections, When a Stranger Calls is a highly suspenseful and very creepy movie with excellent performances.
But the shockingly real performances of the three starlets was amazing .
I'm generally not a big fan of this sort of epic-level drama, but the actors pulled off the dramatic ending well , and I found it very moving.
The acting is flat and one-dimensional because characters aren't' written with any depth.
The special effects are excellent as is the underwater adventure .The droids are enemies of the Republic, who want to change it and take it over; thereby, enslaving its inhabitants.
 His performance was moving and emotional , a flawless piece of art.
All I can say, it was fantastic .
Ofelia's father has been killed in the Spanish Civil War and her desperate mother marries the cruel Vidal, played by Sergi López, one of Franco's captains, who (as has been written repeatedly) joins the screen's pre-eminent villains.
 This movie really didn't pay any homage to old Vampire/Werewolf mythology, it didn't really have much action , and the Romeo & Juliet thing is not really expressed and there's only one kiss between the two main people.
Thank goodness however the entire movie was not filmed using this technique !
 The image of the featureless, pasty- white mask hovering above a dark set of clothes is unnerving, and the early sightings of him in Haddenfield are amazingly effective-even when you know he is there, it is sometimes difficult to spot him.
Though Peter Jackson had always claimed that the 208 minute (roughly equal to "Seven Samurai" in length) DVD version of "Lord of the Rings'" first installment was not a director's cut, its vast superiority to the shortened theatrical release becomes clear immediately.
The truth is what makes this movie such a gem is that it doesn't need to come out and smack you in the head with the type of dull, predicatable nonesense like most movies do these days.
Each actor has had or currently owns a major role in a television/movie .
I am a long time fan of the web head and was not sure if the movie would do the long time comic hero justice but it did in a huge way.
 As for the controversy as to whether this film is actually Kubrick's final cut , it is.
Like the series and this season was a good follow up to the first.
Bale's performance is superb and I think it's the best of his career. Jackman is also very convincing and the supporting cast is flawless. I'm always impressed by Rebecca Hall, but Bowie's cameo as Tesla was a revelation .
***CONTAINS SPOILERS***A historical costume drama with some powerful performances, THE DUCHESS is the study of The Duchess of Devonshire and her battles with The Duke during their strained marriage.
So what if the story isn't very original ?
The 3 seasons have been wonderful .
We're talking about a film here with an uneventful plot and characters completely void of depth .
In particular, kudos to the quality of the sound reproduction, which I've found to be excellent whether pushed through a 5.1 home theater or stereo headphones .
 Unfortunately, the dialogue is clunky when the characters talk to one another as well.
Actually, " Dennis the Menace" is probably the better movie, in retrospect.I just saw "Revenge of the Sith" last night, and it reminded me how awful "Attack of the Clones" truly is; not because "Sith" is a good movie, but because it was pretty much on the same level.
Thus the so-called transformation into Darth Vader is more like the flipping of a switch - more binary than analog.
 Such is the case with the cornball science fantasy movie "Galaxy Quest.""Galaxy
 Despite the fact that it is an older movie and shot primarily in lowlight conditions, details are sharp, colors are vibrant and blacks are deep .
Not saying that "The Ring" is either superior or inferior, but it stayed very truthful to the original material it was based on , too truthful.
It is really a film about timeless qualities now hopelessly out of fashion: things like duty, honour, loyalty, friendship, mutual reliance and the questing spirit.
In it you get a look at the premier, at part of Emmy Rossum's screen test, the fun of trying to understand Jennifer Ellison's (Meg) accent, Patrick Wilson singing opera in sport pants, the Mask of the Red Death swigging from a water bottle, plus a look at the outrageously elaborate costumes and what the chandelier falling looked like in real life.
Russell Crowe's performance is absolutely brilliant .
I am a Spiderman fan from way back .
This movie is not funny at all .
The ending was absolutely awesome , it makes the experience not so empty and wasted.
Ok, so all these people are saying the film isn't funny .
 Action is not what you would expect from Rogen, and although he handles it well, especially in the last 30 minutes, the action packed ending does run a bit long.  Overall, "Pineapple Express" delivers what it promises: a funny stoner comedy.
 The sets and costumes were spectacular without a doubt .But unlike THE TUDORS, THE BORGIAS series still lacked "something".
It was like they were trying to cram as much of the book in as possible , resulting in drawn out stories.
The deleted scenes are very funny and I think a lot of them should have been retained in the first cut.
I was extremely skeptical at first, not wanting to get sucked into a fad, but the books and movie(s) are genuinely good, with great actors and superb visual effects. Definitely recommend. 
This is one of the cutest , funniest sports/girl power/rousing comedy films I have seen in a while!
The story is sadly lame and contrived .
 One of the things that I enjoy most about the Coen brothers' movies is that they both understand their art form: movies are primarily visual works of art .
...no real gore, no bad language to express how they were really feeling and half the story and edge gone due to editing .
they fight in these awesome battles to the death, and some of the battle scenes and who dies and how is surprising.overall, the movie is awesome, and the ending is clever too , which leads to a possible AVP 2.
This movie showcases the true talent Christopher Nolan posses.
The new crew is excellent and the story is good , although it brings back a couple of old enemies in this new reality that skirts off the true nature of their reality and did not explore it suffiently in my opinion.. I will not tell you who this is referring to.
The individual performances by the actors were stellar in every way .
Without being over the top, his performance is amazing .
i received this yesterday on blu-ray and was VERY impresssed ... for what i paid ($[...] with free shipping), it was an AMAZING deal.
comes with lots of bonus features too. The picture looks great!!! Thank you!
The acting was good and all players did their jobs well but I was a bit put off by the smirking 'we're so smart and hip attitude' of the movie.
This film is almost flawless - the acting, the sets, the script, the special effects, the originality.
Rather than describe the remainder of the story in detail , I will say, instead, that the director does not allow the project to make any fatal mistakes.
I recommend this movie to those who like a good laugh .
 It's gorgeous, the sets are gorgeous, the costumes are gorgeous , and the so are the actors.
The only bright spot in the movie was that Jar Jar Binks was reduced to cameo performance .
The acting and dialogue is not good either .
First off, you people just can not accept a new world of Star Wars.
Never had a "Star Wars"-film a greater  emotional impact."The Phantom Menace" is definetly not on par  with that film, nor has it the originality of "A New Hope", but  still I liked this film a lot. I actually found it better than "Return  Of The Jedi". Even those who dispised the movie must acknowledge that  it has its merits. The special effects are fantastic, and in contrast to  other films with superior FX , they are also highly imaginative because they  create entire worlds of their own.
This is a truly terrific caper movie, one that works well by both showcasing the emerging star power of both Donnie Wahlberg and Charlize Theron and also having a terrific storyline .
This movie was very depressing , had me choked up half the time, crying, and upset that there is just too much bad things that happen........
 Picture and sound are awesome .The only thing is that the packaging could have been a little better.
And enough about the price drop .
This film presents a very good and deep insight into the world of drug addiction .
 I don't think it would have worked if they had done a serious , soapy type movie.
The sound also got a boost from the original mono track to stero , and the special features have me intrigued.
The acting is superb .
The first season was a great start to the show , the second season was amazing, and the third season somehow managed to become even better.
The script is appalling, the acting non-existant (everyone just stands around saying their lines, without any feeling or emotion, looking like they desparately want to know what's happening on that green-screen behind them), and the computer generated FX so overwhelming that its like having spectacular fireworks let off in your face for 2 hours ...
 The magic, the twists were all great .
After a horrid third film and a suprising fourth , superman returns for a fifth film.
It proves I was wrong !
Burlesque was AMAZING! I fell in love this the movie! Dancing, singing, storyline, acting , directing the whole set up was wonderful.
The script was terrible. The direction was terrible. The only reason I can come up with for the film's popularity among so many Superman fans is that they have been so hungry for a film that they would have liked almost anything. I give it 2 stars for at least trying to make Superman relevant again.The thing to remember is that even though Superman has Kryptonian abilities, his personality is 100% human. He was raised since infancy on a farm in Kansas. He might feel different, but at heart he is a small town American and this film completely missed that. In focusing on the 'alien among us' angle, they gutted Superman's personality that was so well portrayed by Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh. The Clark Kent we have all come to know and love through the years was completely missing. There were so many elements of the plot that made no sense. There was CGI overkill. Superman Returns had some plot problems, and could have put Superman in a few more action scenes, but overall that movie was far more faithful to the origins of the Superman character.The fact that Avengers was so successful should prove that a superhero movie doesn't have to copy The Dark Knight to be a hit. A superhero movie can be light, it can be funny, it can be human, and still be a fantastic movie. I have nothing to say about the relationship of this movie to recent comic book adaptations or graphic novels. As a movie, it is no better than all the other CGI-fests out there with tons of explosions and destruction. Superman is supposed to be special. 
The acting is unbelievable , amazing, and very convincing.
 The Rock and Flair put on great performances.  Surprising ending .
In 20 minutes , Jillian gets me going and sweating and back in shape.
Acting wise the movie is poor , Eric Bana's accent is bad considering how poor his fellow Aussies do with accents thats saying alot.
This is the most perverted, disorganized movie I ever saw.
Sound,video, avengers, Marvel Magic .
The performances given by Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellwegger, Queen Latifah and Richard Gere are perfect! With Catherine standing out a little bit more, because of her musical background (she deserved the Oscar).
The book was entertaining and full of facts and images hard to duplicate in a movie.
the performances were outstanding and extremely believable, Ellen Burstyn should have recieved that Oscar, she was unbelievable....
"Star Trek Into Darkness" is excellent !
This ending should have been King's ending and I usually never say that about a printed piece of work from an author ; but here I think we have a better ending in the movie, rather than on paper.
The stories so fun and exciting and fresh compared to the turgid retreads of modern "Trek".
I'm hardly a prude, I celebrate both nudity and sexuality in all cinematic shapes and sizes and varieties .... and I don't condemn violence in film if it makes a point or moves along a story or a character's development... and I sincerely applaud directors who aren't afraid to go to the edge.
 It was heart-warming and wonderful, sad and depressing , silly and did I say wonderful.
This show is addictive .
Maybe not exceptional, but I found the movie to be fairly true to the book .
 People usually act this way when they're discussing politics or religion .
The actors are all fine , with Bryan Cranston and the six diplomatic escapees-in-hiding turning in particularly excellent performances.
When her acting career fizzled , after making her less than memorable acting debut in her father's film "Godfather III", Sophia Coppola apparently turned her hand to directing and was let loose upon an unsuspecting public.
Courageous is the story of four policemen who are also after a time, four brothers in the Lord.
Picture and sound were crystal clear and the disc had more special features than Disney DVDs I've bought in the past.
Frank Sinatra gives a moving and powerful performance as he frantically tries to beat the clock in what is to be,unknown until the very end,the assassination of the presidential candidate, and the insertion of a puppet senator controlled(unknowingly) by Communists in his place.
 The characters are not well established from beginning to end -- so you honestly don't care whether they live or die.
 Liam Neeson is great and the story itself is very poignant .
The movie is very violent and has some sexual content so be warned .
The Dark Knight is the sequel to director Christopher Nolan's outstanding and uplifting Batman Begins.
 It had some delicious white fish in a chinese style steamed bun.  Great starter .
First up, the place is beautiful .
now).The hostess was very pleasant and helpful , our server was  efficient and very personable, and the manager James was a great host, checking in often to see how we were doing.
What I like about the katsu is that it is fried perfectly crisp but doesn't feel oily.
This is a really good restaurant with an awesome staff! The place is awesome and the food is just delicious!
I hate to give such a highly- regarded place three stars, but here goes nothing.
Cute cafés are my jam! Jimmy's Coffee was a very average experience , however.
When you walk into the restaurant, the first thing that hits your nose is the smell of pork bones simmering away. You can also ask for less lard but why. Toppings: I love bamboo, glad it's included. I also had seaweed, slice of fish cake and green onion. Extra toppings are pricey (corn is $2.50, egg $1.80) which I didn't opt for. Chashu: Seems like I got the chashu scraps...got two small chunks of meat cut along the grain and a slab of pure fat. While it was tender, it was upon leaving the restaurant and seeing the display of noodles that my friends told me that they both got 2 regular slices of chashu. What the. Service: Friendly. Fairly quick turnover of tables. Bathroom: The sketchiest bathroom I have ever been in. My friend said it was like being in a horror movie and I had to agree. Dim eerie staircase leading to a dark dirty bathroom with a low ceiling. Given how popular and clean the restaurant is, they definitely could have forked over a little bit of money to improve the washrooms! 
Usually about 10 mins wait until you actually get your food, which isn't too bad !
Not your run of the mill Thai restaurant .
If you like guacamole, you will love their chips and guacamole .
It's a nice atmosphere and service is not bad .
Good vibe, neon décor , online reservations, delicious tapa style dishes and a menu of tequila tastings.
My second experience at Pai was great on a few fronts.
The staff is very friendly and attentive .I recommend ordering the seared sushi if you want to try something different from your normal sushi.
If you are in the distillery, do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere .
how cheap the drinks were and the Moscow Mules, although a bit sweet, were very down-able.
Always impressive service, whether it's brunch or dinner. Great drinks, wonderful gluten free and dairy free options - I would take a picky eater there anyday!
Good service .
Still, the restaurant did a great job in keeping everything well organized .
Not too loud and the decor is stunning .
The patio was busy (as usual) but the ambience and service was good.
Highly recommend hot sauce if you're thinking of eating at this place.
The last experience here when we came out was absolutely wonderful.
Fantastic food and relatively inexpensive , butternut fritters for starter were great and the pad thai was extremely tasty.
Love the atmosphere! All the dishes we tried were so good! We got the lamb and it was unreal and good drink menu .
Nice ambiance, atmosphere, good food and wine .
But I loved the whole experience! The view is incredible and our waitress was down to earth and very accommodating.
 Service was great .
I have been meaning to come here for awhile, so when a Groupon came up, it was the perfect opportunity .
It's popular so make reservations possible! They have an easy online system .
 I really liked all their vegetarian options but unfortunately I went with a bland jambalaya and he went with a bison burger.
  The decor is fantastic .
This place gets packed at dinnertime, and it's a fun place to meet up with people for drinks.
I have gone to Jacobs a few times over the past couple of years and I always come out with the same content feeling after a fantastic steak meal .
I'm not a rib expert so maybe the baby back ribs were supposed to be dry .
It is a good place to experience if you are in the area and it has a really nice patio in the summer .
This place is very hit or miss , and unfortunately, my most recent time was a huge miss!
The girl filling our coffees and grabbing us ketchup seemed to hate existing in this world but I just ignored her foul attitude, everyone has an off day you know!
Excellent !!
Good selection of beers on tap , and menu seemed like there were a lot of comfort food type options.
I highly recommend dining outside if you love patio dining .
Although, it is located inside the hotel, the only way to have outside access is through the elevator that runs directly into the restaurant .
The place is crowded meaning patrons waiting their table will be (im)patiently watching you eat from the sidelines, so eat quickly and don't hang out after your meal!
The waitress we got was impatient, rude, sarcastic, and just a horrible server .
I always recommend this place for any special occasion or just a great dinner ! The view is breathtaking ,
 Overall a good spot to stop for a beer and snack (as long as you don't mind waiting in line to get in)!
The sauce or lack thereof was a bit bland but the bread was tasty.
At the encouragement of one of our group members , my 5 friends and I decided to hold our exchange reunion at Pai, as opposed to another popular Thai restaurant (hint: it starts with a K and ends in Road; y'all know who I'm talking about).
I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking to celebrate a special occasion or somewhere nice to go for a first date. Just don't expect to be blown away .
Sounds like a good deal to me!The waitress was very friendly and prompt. We didn't have to wait very long for service .
 I haven't ordered much here, I mostly come for drinks on the patio .I have had the spicy mussles which were really good,  White wine, onions and jalapenos.
The atmosphere here is cool , unique, and playful - way better than any school environment I've ever been in.
I ordered the BetterBeer (which is the Harry Potter inspired Butterbeer) and it was so yummy!!
I finally see the light .I was surprised to find out that Miku was as fusion-y as it was.
The waitresses are a bit clueless and the sushi is not fresh- actually chewy ...
I went here with high expectations .
The coffee is always strong , they make a firm cappuccino.
-when we ordered drinks it took them that same about of time to bring it Other than that I liked the atmosphere and the vibe .
Ambience is nice and the bar is awesome .
 The vibe and decor of the place is really cool .
The view is also breathtaking .
Service here wasn't to bad either , it didn't feel like we were being rushed out like what happens in most Chinese restaurants.
I came by myself after a coworker had suggested it and ate at the bar.  No , it wasn't awkward like some places can be when you eat by yourself.
Great food and atmosphere, drinks are okay priced but really really good .
Probably one of my favorite places in Toronto for Thai food ...
Probably the best seats since you get to watch how the drinks are made .
 The options at the restaurant include various food options that are also vegetarian friendly which is very important to me .
You can eat indoors or in the patio, which is shaded and pretty large .
I've been to Gusto 101 several times and absolutely love it! They have a gorgeous patio which is heated in the winter.
I enjoyed eating the tater tots though they could be a bit more crispy and warm .
Lets just start by saying YUMMMAfter reading the reviews I came here on a Saturday around noon expecting a huge line up, which there was. I was told it would be an hr wait , which wasnt a big deal because things seemed to be moving well .
Good place to hang with friends .
Great restaurant, the oysters were awesome , Mike our waiter was very helpful, nice and friendly.
Great BBQ , Great time, I've had pretty much all the meats they have on offer and love them.
One thing that would've made my experience better is having the menus labelled for persons with dietary restrictions .
The Mad Man was served in a very cool pipe shaped glass , the drink was strong but smooth.
Since going to Baretto for the first time, it has become one of my favourite Coffee / Breakfast and Italian lunch places .
Yes, the price is quite steep for not a whole lot of food but the quality really is top notch!Lobster Miso Soup.
The pad gra prow was definitely my favourite, the way the flavours all melded together was perfect .
However if your looking for somewhere with a fantastic view over the lake and city this would be your place.
Why come here? The sushi .
From the food (best steaks in Toronto!), the friendly & extremely professional staff, and the warm ambiance .
You come here for the experience, not so much for the food.  It was my first time visiting the CN Tower and dining at the 360 Restaurant the best way to go about it.
Amazing!I went last night (valentines day), and they gave out a free complimentary martini which was nice .The food is pretty good here!
The place is very loud and noisy with the waiters constantly screaming in Japanese, which makes for a fun environment and a good place for a group of friends to get together and eat and drink.
The only downside is that it is very crowded so the service is really slow , people are willing to wait more than an hour standing outside in the line so keep that in mind.
We had one server who introduced us and said she would be right back to take our order for drinks , we never saw her again.
We waited and waited, but our waitress was no where around .
Small portions and alil pricey but Delicious food and every dish had a flavourful palette.
Cons: Drinks are pretty expensive (that's how they make their money I guess), the music inside is blaring (like, uncomfortably so - you can barely hear people), they don't take debit - just cash or credit (like, not even Visa Debit!?) & the service isn't great (our server was obviously overloaded
The food is superb, the staff is welcoming and the decor gives a great warm home feeling .
The service was really good , and the food was very flavourful.
Instead we got a Befuddlement Draft to share, which was still pretty cool and delicious.
No doubt this is a five stars restaurant for the food however, the 3 stars is for the attitude of the restaurant .
Drinks are a little pricey but that is to make up for the $4.95 food menu which isn't bad.
Drinks were unique but expensive and if you want to overindulge this wouldn't be the place .
Its always delivered on amazing wings .
The food is delicious! The service is good and the atmosphere is inviting .
In my many years of living in Toronto I've probably been to over 50 restaurants.
I recommend the baked brie and the octopus balls !
Delicious breakfast and plenty of it!
The interiors are gorgeous and obviously a lot of detail went into it.
Love this place , reservations make it easy to book unlike Khao San Road which is not saying anything about their delicious menu options.
Seems like the drinks are great .
Every time I visit Toronto I love taking in the views of Lake Ontario and Cityline from the harbour, from the island and looking down from the 54th floor of the TD tower.
They have a fantastic patio in the summer .
Upstairs have additional space and it will be a take out / snack bar as per the staff .
The setting is intimate, cozy and comfortable .
the owner is very friendly & was helpful. jerk chicken poutine is something to try.
It gets really busy especially on weekends where it turns into a social bar- literally- where you can't find a spot anywhere and the patio is open during the summer .
Overall it was a good experience .
This place has to be one of the most interesting restaurants that I have ever been to!
It was not what I had expected, but it was a delicious and a pleasant surprise . The mussels was delicious .
good food and reasonable price .
i wanted to come here on a very special occasion, so i decided to go for my first anniversary with my girlfriend.
I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and I'd be back.
The decor was unique and cool- very east meets west.
 The place is underground and it was a cool place .
This review is for dinner and I speculate that brunch is a different ( and hopefully better ) experience altogether.
The patio is gorgeous as it looks over liberty and is very airy. The food is good, but nothing to rave about. The pizzas are fresh, which is nice, the Cobb salad is kind of just a salad (with no blue cheese :[). Overall, food is good, but it kind of feels your average run of the mill chain restaurant. Come here to drink after work for the views if anything. 
and they took a few minutes to arrive but the bar was busy and the bartenders didnt stop moving .
The patio is GREAT .
The staff were friendly and accommodating, and we enjoyed getting breakfast and meeting up for drinks with friends at the cafe .
Khoa San Road is probably the best Thai food that I have ever had in Toronto.
Great food (tasting menu) and great service (Greg and Seth) combined for a special meal .
Best restaurant in terms of everything .
My greatest complaint would be that the rice was too soggy and had clumped together instead of standing alone as individual grains.
We enjoyed one of the best tables on the patio, great food and the best service we have experienced in awhile.
Also goo prices with the portions you get .
but I find it quite hard too as every time I've gone here I've been disappointed .
it kinda sucks when i left my earphones there.. i called them and they said they have it.. when i got there they said that they dont have it anymore..
Guacamole is decent, drinks are ok,the rest is a mess .
The ribs were over cooked and dry .
The wait time was long but definitely worth the wait!
The food is really amazing, ambience & decor is classy and contemporary, coffee is really delicious , mimosas are such a nice addition too.
The bedding and towels were new and clean, the rugs are brand new, the pillows were great and everything about the room smelled good .
My 3-day stay at the Andrews Hotel was a pleasant one overall; I was satisfied with the clean, comfortable room (a "cozy double") and generally good service. I booked the room directly with the hotel , getting them to match the rate of $79 for weeknights, $99 for weekends, that was quoted by several web booking sites.
The location was excellent , close to the cable car stop, art galleries, shops and Union Square.
Our room was clean, well appointed, if a little snug and comfortable. The bathroom wasn't brand new, but was just fine. Service was very good overall. We had to wait a bit too long for our room, but the staff did everything they could to get it ready for us as quickly as possible. As everyone else has noted, no A/C! This was pretty awful, as the rooms get quite warm, especially the smaller ones. If you left the fan on all day, it helped cool things down a bit.Our room was the very last one in the hotel (450) so we were on the main road side, which was quite noisy at night. Lots of sirens and road cleaners going past at all hours. Also, the free wireless didn't reach that end of the hotel, so if that's an essential feature, ask for something more in range of the front desk, maybe. Custom Burger was very expensive, and not at all worth the price in my opinion. The shakes are fantastic though! Right across the road at the Good Hotel, is a pizza place on the bottom floor. Good pizza, good prices and friendly staff, esp Ashanti. Eat here over CB anytime. The location isn't great , but we walked toward the "bad" part of town in daylight hours and had no problems.
The room was very small but clean and unique .
Location was fantastic, so easy to go anywhere.
It was the most disgusting room I ever stayed in .
Well my trip was on memorial weekend, and yes i did expect it to be a little noisy.the room next to me was so loud .
The nighty wine reception in the lobby from 5 to 6 was also a great bonus .
There's a great family diner across the street for breakfast .
The room was very comfortable - no view, but then we did not expect one as we were out and about - not sitting in the room.
Room gorgeous with view to the West, almost could see China in the distance .
It was in the heart of the city, near to shops, malls, Chinatown, trollies, public transportation and food.
if you enjoy shopping .
The actual hotel itself is OK, the issue we had was the location.
Everything about this place was excellent. For the very low price you pay you get a large room, great facilities, free breakfast, the most helpful staff i've ever encountered.
First the positives: great staff - very helpful front desk, service at the wine reception and breakfast was great and our housekeeper was absolutely delightful .
If you want a clean, reliable hotel with a decent location , this is the one for you.
We were in the older part of the hotel and on the 6th floor which was fine.
The hotel is centrally located and was great for shopping at Westfield , Macys and all that Union Square has to offer.
Stayed in the JW Marriott on the last night of our holiday as a treat! We did the rest of the trip (which included Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco the previous weekend, Yosemite and Santa Cruz) on a budget and decided to blow the budget on the last night as we had to catch two flights home the following day which was to take about 20hours in total.
Bathroom: cool, Bed : comfy, great pillow .
the pillows very flat in the standard rooms so we upgraded for our single night stay.
Great location --walking distance to LOTS of fun spots.
(movie rentals are available for about 12 bucks a night it would make more sense to buy a DVD disc at Borders or Virgin which are both a few blocks away.) There was also a serious lack of storage space in the room .Bathroom was tight.
The high speed internet was great and the complimentary breakfast was awesome and made it worth the stay.
That street is very loud and alot of traffic .
Yes, the room the smallish , but the rest is incredible.
There was no smiling at all from her when she checked us in or when she checked us out.
The Grand Hyatt in San Fran is an awesome hotel - big rooms , great bedding, fitness center on 6th floor.
The hotel rooms are small , and the desk is not really useable for a long period of work.
We received three great restaurant recommendations from the front desk and they always provided us with accurate directions to our destination.
The breakfast is better than the usual Continental , the waffles deserve a special mention.
Room service was also excellent as was the breakfast in the lovely Silk Restaurant .Verdict - A wonderful choice and most recommended :)!
We stayed in room 590, the Dunkirk suite. It is a corner accomodation with great city views .
My room requirements were done perfectly .
We stayed at the Westin St Francis from the 29th June 2009 for 4 nights.
March 2005My second time, staff very friendly, great views and location is awesome .
This hotel is very funky and fun . The staff are very cool , nice and knowledgeable.
that the rooms are very small - however, the space is used very efficiently, and I never felt cramped.
The wine hour in the cozy lobby was great .
The restuarant is very small and didn't have a chance to eat there .
The Hotel is beautifly decorated and was immaculate in condition .
Cafe Andre was really good & very reasonable! Had a great breakfast .
However, the location is great for shopping in Union Square.
Also, the wine hour is very nice and I don't even drink wine.
we stayed on the 32nd floor and had a great city view .
The hotel is in a very safe area and we felt perfectly happy walking around at night.
Breakfast was convenient and good .
Over all, Hotel Carlton is a good place to stay and it is a good value .
Excellent shower head with great pressure .
The service at this hotel is excellent and since we had stayed here before we knew about the wonderful breakfast , the warm fireplace, the cookie jar and the great people at the front desk.
The hotel was good, room was a little small but very clean and the bed was very comfortable .
Dirty, moldy, smelly!! Some rooms had working phones, tvs, lights, other rooms didn't. Very inconsistant. Bedding was dirty, one towel in one room , none in the others.
The rooms were clean comfortable and affordable .
We stayed for 7/4 fireworks, the shuttle was only two blocks away, it's very convenient.
The location was ideal .
This was a nice hotel, the rooms very a little on the small size but very pleasant.
This hotel is located in a fabulous location near Fisherman's wharf .
What a GEM! The rooms were obviously recently remodeled and were very nice .
The hotel offers a continental breakfast , with juices, cereals, bagels, and fresh pastries every morning.
The food is very expensive. Breakfast while ok was too much money.
* STAFF - excellent - friendly staff* LOCATION - average - Definitely NOT walking distance to the wharf or Chinatown.
Our third floor room faced the Sheraton and we could hear every bus, every car, constant noise day and night .
And breakfast at the hotel restaurant, it was terrible and overpriced .
The room was large, with 2 double beds, a nice bathroom and cleaned daily, although if you wish to stay in your room later than 8am I would hang the privacy tag on the door as the maid knocks early and loudly!!!!The breakfast is basic, but free, so very convenient .
The hotel is definitely well run .
Our room was not extra large but we would only be sleeping there .
The room was very clean, updated, with a cool view of the city below .
The hotel is a bright spot in a not-so-nice area of SF (I believe the tour guide referred to the area as 'The Tenderloin'.)
The rooms were big and the service was warm , friendly and efficient - the hotel service hat trick!
though!The hotel was in a great location , a block or so from Union Square and with a cable car station in the adjoining street.
The lobby of the Ramada is quite cool (it used to be the old City Hall), but the rooms are fairly run down and not particularly clean .
The high floor rooms need time to cool off , but if you close your curtains and remember the sun does shine during check-in at 2pm it all cools off by the time you arrive back from dinner in the evening.
THe room was a little on the small side , but acceptable.
The onsite restaurant is outrageously overpriced even for Union Square.
We quickly discovered that this was one of the former spacious rooms from the old Clift that we remembered so fondly, but it had been chopped up into two rooms ... creating a window-less bedroom area and very cramped sitting area.
Sadly it wasn't really "fixed" as it kept blocking again and again, so we had to use the hallway, shared bathroom, even though we payed extra for our own.
Free parking is a definate benefit in San Francisco and the location so near to Fishermans Wharf was great .
It reminded me of European boutique hotels that I've stayed in .
The area isn't too bad. Just don't go west or south (Tenderloin). Go north, and you hit Nob Hill. Go east, and you hit Union Square .If you need parking, park across the street at the California Garage for $32 total.
Nice beds and room decor ( quiet with no street noise)- Lots of taxis right outside the door-
Internet is $17 per day.
Their staff was rude , the beds were hard, and if they didn't forget to leave tea bags, they forgot stirring sticks, sugar, or cups.
so it's a decent location .
Great restaurants nearby .
Bathroom necessities smell amazing, was tempted to swipe them! The gym is great , not huge but certainly new and good equipment.
It's in a handy location if you are fairly fit and don't mind walking.
The rooms are tiny , very old, and LOUD.
We stayed in the older section of the Hotel in a small but comfortable room .
It's no secret that the Parc 55 Hotel is in the path of lots of street noise , especially if you are facing Market Street.
I was concerned about trying a new hotel in the Union Square area .
roomservice is great , housekeeping is wonderfull, location of the hotel is really good for shopping and exploring the city on foot: we went to Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Pacific Heights,...
The complimentary breakfast was delicious (scrambled and boiled eggs, sausage, quiche, danishes, scones, croissants, assortment of breads (great sourdough, wheat, white), fresh cut fruit, coffee, tea, orange juice, and cranberry juice ).
Location is excellent less than 2 blocks from fishermans Wharf &amp ; easy walking distance to cable tram and other attractions.
We find the overall location perfect , right at Union Square, close to the BART, Westfield Mall, walking distance to the Embarcadero, North Beach and Chinatown.
The room was a bit small but given the prime location it is understandable that a builder would want to create as many possible rooms while still maintaining comfort.
Tuscan was wonderful! The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The rooms were also quiet and we felt safe .
We did not really know what to expect when we booked rooms for my husband and myself, and one for our two college age sons, except that it had good reviews , was moderately priced (by San Francisco standards) and was well located in the city.
the service is poor , and for those used to staying in Kimpton hotels... this Kimpton is a real surprise.
The location is fantastic with restaurants, shops, diners very close. If I picked fault then I would say that the sanitary fittings were a bit worn and the air con unit (which we needed) was noisy.
There was a coffee maker, blow dryer, fridge, microwave, clock radio and internet access! The continental breakfast was great , the pool was beautiful, and the free parking was...well, free parking!
The breakfast was a wonderful way to start the day of sight seeing.
Room was in good shape .
We stayed at the Hotel Rex and the rooms were clean and neat and the hotel staff are very friendly , helpful and provide you with exceptional customer service.
As usual, for a Starwood property, the bed was soooooo comfortable . The location was great , very centrally located for shopping, dining and public transportation.
We enjoyed San Fran. way more then we ever thought we would and we owe that to The Argonaut Hotel and there staff.
The breakfast was good, although the "hot" items were lukewarm .
The price was great considering that of other places, the kingsize bed very comfortable and the continental breakfast was very satisfying as we set out each day.
Yes, there are some homeless people walking around, but they do not bother you !
Room was very big with loads of storage space .
The breakfast was complementary but our family likes to sleep in a little so when we got to the breakfast there was limited choices because most things got used up.
The room was decent size but the decor was beyond outstanding .
Our room was small but very unique and quaint .
Some of the reviewers have complained about the high price of breakfast.
Incredible location .
If you have it, go spend your $200 plus a night somewhere else .
standards!The staff were excellent , very friendly and helpful.
We stayed there this past weekend and LOVED it! The front desk was friendly and prompt .
(movie rentals are available for about 12 bucks a night it would make more sense to buy a DVD disc at Borders or Virgin which are both a few blocks away.) There was also a serious lack of storage space in the room .Bathroom was tight.
The hotel is in a great location and the staff are excellent, very helpful and friendly.
Excellent location for "getting out on foot" to see the City.
So, of course, they put us on the Van Ness side of the building which is incredibly noisy .
First the positives: great staff - very helpful front desk, service at the wine reception and breakfast was great and our housekeeper was absolutely delightful.
This room was cleaner but the ceiling fan was broken.
The room was clean and comfortable .
Breakfast was also pricey (and not as outstanding)
Hotel staff were very accomodating with our 18 month old- providing a cot, toy and stroller for him.
Loved everything about the stay - there for the Nike Woman's Marathon - Lovely location would go again - very nice -
My room was nicely decorated and modern looking.
There is no noise from room to room, and our room was right outside the parlour where folks on our floor had breakfast .
The rooms were very spacious and we found them to be exactly as pictured on the website.
My negative experience began with the reservationist who booked a King Room for us , I doubly confirmed this because I knew that the city was extremely booked at this time.
Loved my stay. Great location and breakfast was great .
Not large rooms but enough so that there was a bit of privacy for everyone.
Hotel was dirty, room was small, smelled like smoke although we asked for a non-smoking room .,So it was a wonderful experience going to the Pan Pacific and being greeted by the valet.
There are tons of shopping nearby and good restaurants .
The rooms are a little small but the front desk was friendly and helpful .
The room itself was a bit small , but the space was utilized very well in my opinion.
There are countless kiosks in the area for different tours and attractions .
I stayed at the Hyatt for a conference for 4 days and was not at all impressed for the pretty high group rate we were paying.
The second room was bigger and again nice and great decor - admittedly we decided to pay a little bit extra per night for this room ( only about $10 i think) in the hope that we would get more sleep.
There are various inexpensive but good restaurants nearby (Milano, just up the road, is recommended) and reception will be happy to point some out to you.
We got a great deal on this hotel on Priceline for 3 nights in mid February 2009 .
The quality is good, with fresh high quality pastries and coffee as well as cereal, boiled eggs, bagels, cheese, fruit, tea, etc .
The front desk was very friendly and our room was very comfortable.
The room was a good size if not big .
The room was way too small to have a bath, which should ahve been ripped out and replaced with a decent shower unit.........a true design feature would have been a small wet room with a screen dividing the shower from the basin and toilet.
Our room was very nice , it was in a recently remodeled section and everything was very clean and new.
The breakfast was very average .
The rooms were probably a bit small , but really that was a non-issue for us.
This is a great little inn with a fantastic wine & cheese hour and great continental breakfast .
Our room had a queen size bed with a choice of different pillows, a safe, a flat screen TV, wireless internet, a large walk-in closet, a nice bathroom with plenty of towels and toiletries including a rubber duck for your bath(Nice touch).
So after reading amazing reviews of this hotel i was expecting a great comfortable place to stay after a tiring 2 weeks sightseeing in Europe.
Bathroom was luxurious .
Room was small, kind of dingy and smelled musty .
The free wine hour was great but the lobby was overcrowded with people due to lack of chairs.
The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept like babies for the four nights we were there .
The front desk falls over itself to welcome you, and we were asked if we'd like a free upgrade to a better view of the city simply because he could offer it (we are members of the Fairmont frequent traveler club)! The rooms themselves were plush , with linens you felt you could float on--fluffy down comforters, tons of pillows.
The rates were very reasonable ($70 ish), rooms were a bit snug, but we didn't plan on spending much time there
The location is superb , near the sights but quiet at nightime with a trolley stop almost outside the door.
the location was perfectly fine ?!
The new rooms had beautiful light , gorgeous views of the Bay and Alcatraz and it was like we were staying in a completely different hotel.
This hotel was great to stay in, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the standard of service provided was exceptionally good.
Beds very comfy with lovely pillows , free in room safe gives peace of mind.
Free wireless Internet- Excellent location - less than a block from Union Square- Comfortable bed and great pillow "menu"- A rubber ducky in the bathroom - hilarious!- Large walk-in closetBad/Ugly:- Room was quite cold (San Francisco was going through a bit of a cold spell) and the central heating system was not very reliable.
We had a lovely, quiet room, spacious quarters , a terrific bathroom and lots of room.
The rooms are wonderful , clean and have everything you need and if you are missing something just call the butler...
I did like the breakfast which is a real time & money saver if you are traveling with kids.
Overall, we loved San Francisco and thought that the hotel was very good, considering the price and location .
I travel to San Francisco often for work; the St. Regis is the nicest and coolest one I have stayed at yet! The decor is modern, but not over the top modern, just contemporary. Beautifully appointed entry and very welcoming staff. They walked me up to my room to explain the new technology - which is highlighted by a digital device that controls everything from room service to lighting to the do not disturb sign, all with bedside convenience. The beds are fluffy and obviously extremely clean. The place was spotless. Bathroom necessities smell amazing, was tempted to swipe them! The gym is great , not huge but certainly new and good equipment.
But whilst we were there it poured with rain most of the time, and we found the room quite small when we were trying to dry out our soggy clothes .
Room was on the smallish side, but perfectly adequate .
I like stylish hotels, this is why I chose the Adagio and here are my comments: Room: not too big but very well furnished and decorated .
It really is a great atmosphere .
The location of this hotel is wonderful , you can't beat Union Square for shopping and theaters and a bustling nightlife.
Many restaurants just blocks away in a safe and interesting area.
I requested a high floor & got a room with a spectacular view of the city.
Great shopping, cable cars go right by, plenty of restaurants and fantastic people watching.
Our room had a huge closet where we stored our luggage , so we had plenty of room to move around.
The room I stayed at was the best Marriott property room I ever stayed in .
The breakfast was wonderful, probably the epitome of & quot;continental breakfast&quot ; -- everything was fresh, and the atmosphere was first-rate.
The free breakfast was decent .
The view from the 16th floor was amazing ...especially at night.
It's a charming hotel with beautiful rooms in a perfect location .
The staff was friendly, the room was cute although the comforter was a little dirty (the sheets were clean).
Complimentary breakfast is basic and they do have hot food, which is good enough.
We loved the beds and linen! They offer a full and delicious breakfast , an evening happy hour with yummy hordeurves and wine not to mention friendly setting to share experiences with fellow travelers.
Reasonably clean, great location by attractions but horrifically noisy, both from street traffic and denizens of the hotel itself .
There was a lot of street noise and noise from the people next to us.
Overall the hotel was very decently priced, the staff was freindly and attentive , and the rooms were super clean.
When I walked into the room, It was immaculate .
We took it and were so glad we did! The room was awesome .
Free wi-fi in the lobby area.
This hotel is bad and is not a value at the price of about $70 a night (+ $22 per day parking).As soon as I opened my room's door the smell of dirty old man body order pierced through my nose making my eyes water .
The exceptional thing that happened is that I had mentioned being in town for my birthday .
This motel has very nice, newly renovated rooms with plasma TV.
The hotel was in an amazing location , right in the middle of Union Square, shopping mecca!
The bedding and towels were new and clean, the rugs are brand new, the pillows were great and everything about the room smelled good.
Our room was dark and dreadful .
I found his attitude and manner toward a guest of his hotel less than acceptable .
What an outstanding hotel in every way! The rooms are so beautiful , clean and comfortable, I would say they are beyond compare.
Customer service is also very poor. We met several rude staff .
I LOVED the room , and the staff were beyond helpful.
Breakfast was minimal (coffee, tea, and excellent fresh muffins) , but was included in the room rate.
Room was on the smallish side, but clean .
The location is superb-- right in Union Square.
This place doesn't have to try too hard to be ultra hip or cool .
The breakfast was delicious and varied and I was very glad I upped my reservation for this alone.
The hotel is very nice overall, close to Union Square neighborhood, cable car on Powell street and public transportation at Market/Powell bus and metro/BART .
From the greetings as we entered the grand lobby area (the smell of fresh flowers is truly wonderful), to the beautiful room , we truly enjoyed the experience.
very clean and in good shape.. they also use newer keys than the old magentic cards .
But the biggest surprise was - that upon request - we received our favourite room. All this, combined with it's charming location in one of the most attractive cities of the world, makes the Drisco a true gem.
Lovely hotel, comfortable rooms , great front desk lady!
The room was amazing and in fantastic condition with great decor .
What makes a great hotel experience? In my opinion it's the personal comfort level, the suitability of the accomodations for your purpose as well as exemplary customer service, the kind of service that anticipates your needs and fulfills them graciously.
The breakfast was a bit expensive but you can always go out and have breakfast in one of many restaurants nearby.
The room itself felt dirty .
Rooms are huge , and when we stayed the hotel had just put in flat screen TVs in all the rooms.
We had a 3rd floor king w/ city view , nice view however if you open the windows the noise from Lombard Street is very loud , once closed noise barley audiable.
The room had an aweful musty odour, furniture and soft furnishings looked tired and the carpet was in a terrible state .
The room was very well appointed with quality furnishings and it was decorated in a classy and individual style, not what you normally expect from a chain hotel in a touristy location.
recommended by my sister as amazing value for money and excellent location in the heart of all the shops and things to do .
The location is great - very central and always felt safe walking around the area .
Yes - the bar and restaurant are on the expensive to the OMG side - especially if you dive into the steak menu at dinner ($54 for a veal chop - wow!)
The rooms are roomy and nicely appointed.
I have to admit that the location and view was perfect .
Nice clean spacious rooms , looked newly remodeled.
The hotel is in a very convenient location for tourists and close to lots of shopping .
Very nice .
Rooms are smallish , but adequate for a business stay, or a weekend, tho romantic, it ain't!
The bed and tolietries are my only complaints -- the bed in our room was HARD and uncomfortable and the pillows were very small .
The Andrews Hotel rooms were very small , but nicely decorated & furnished, the cleanilness was excellent.
But it was in reasonably good condition , the beds were comfortable, it was quiet at night (being two blocks from Highway 101), we had a fridge and microwave, and there was plenty of hot water.
and I stayed here over Memorial Day and our room was disgusting .
Rooms are big , beautiful, clean... nothing unexpected of the Mark Hopkins.
The room was large, bright and airy. The bathroom was large enough and everything was spotless.
The location is perfect in that it is very near Union Square, shopping, restaurants, but also near the business district .
The room is very petite .
They recommended both a French and Italian restaurant and both were within walking distance and just delicious (Fleur de Lis / Fino).
Free wine reception on Fridays and Saturdays, worth going.
Just return from the Hotel Nikko this afternoon and can't wait to write this review.
Restaurant is on the pricey side, but there are plenty of less -expensive options within walking distance.
Dirty, moldy, smelly!! Some rooms had working phones, tvs, lights, other rooms didn't .
My friend and I shared a room with two double beds and our "biggest" complaint was that there weren't enough electrical outlets for us to charge our wireless phones and Garmin gps units .
The location was awesome and we enjoyed walking to Union Square and all the shops.
When I arrived at my room (659), I was greeted by a broken switchplate and the odors of both mildew and cigarette smoke .
Location is fine - no need to go into the Tenderloin unless you choose to do so and only a 10 minute walk downhill to Union Square .
The room was great size for the four of us .
While the lobby and some other rooms are gorgeous , the sound quality of the rooms (you really can hear everything) and the majority of the Fairmont staff are not up to standards.
You are really paying for location with this hotel. This is also a historic hotel , so please do not expect it to look like the Westin in Hollywood Florida.
The Cartwright is just four blocks from Union Square, with theaters and shopping nearby .
We got a nice room, with a good view of the city but unfortunately we woke every morning with really sore throats from the air conditioning which we couldnt turn off and there are no windows to open to let some fresh air in.
Room was nice, with all the amnities you need .
Room looked down at 3rd St, no view of the bay or bridges, but I'll sacrafice that for a great rate. Restaurant was pricey as hotels are. They ran out of empty refrig's to replace our pay-mini-bar, but allowed us to remove and replace items without a charge to store our leftovers & drinks. Beds were comfy with lots of fluffy pillows. Valet staff was more friendly and helpful than concierge. Parking, valet only, was $42/day + $5.50 tax. May look into public parking across street next time. Very close to subway stations, large mall, & trolley stops. 
We were in a large king room which looked out over a courtyard of trees--surprising in the middle of San Francisco! Hotel staff were uniformly nice , complimentary wine was of reasonable quality and served graciously.
The hotel staff are all very friendly, rooms are actually good sized for the Bay area, free snacks in the bar at night and a great continental breakfast for Hilton Honors members....definately recommend this hotel (but leave your car at home if possible...parking is around $50 a night)!!
This was a great alternative to all the other big name hotels in the Square district.
The location was handy - we were able to walk everywhere .
The breakfast was excellent with a number of different choices (both hot and cold food available).
Breakfast was also pricey (and not as outstanding) but you can add pastries, fruit and even a breakfast sandwich on to your complimentary breakfast beverage order for not too big a hit so we went that route and enjoyed a more affordable breakfast in our room.
Breakfast was a nice add , with cereals, waffles, coffee, etc.
The yellow 70's bathroom bothered me the most as it was very dirty .
The complimentary breakfast is great , and the rooms are large.
Simple breakfast .
Upon a late evening arrival we were greeted by cheerful staff .
Must say the service,staff and location were amazing .
The continental breakfast was a nice starter .
Our rooms were quite large and impeccably clean .
Probably will stay there again just because of how well we felt they took care of our family .
The location is great .
Rooms clean, warm and comfortable beds .
Our rate also included a very adequate continental breakfast.
We went around the corner to Mel's Diner on Mission St to supplement our breakfast - great food , cheap.
I'd checked out the Trip Advisor reviews and the website and the rooms looked cosy and clean .
The staff is very friendly, my room (King suite) was HUGE , clean, and quiet.
Not a bad location, plenty of buses and only a short 10min walk to the water front .
Overall a nice hotel - though like many hotels in San francisco it is quite pricey - SF hotels are pricier than NYC or Boston Breakfast is expensive for what you get - much better value in the Omni in Boston! - which is hard to beat for breakfast! 
Located in the financial district , everything is closed over the weekend, have to walk that little bit further for coffee, etc.
Friendly and helpful manager .
Approaching the hotel looks very magestic and granduer.
It was the perfect location and so comfortable .
We had a fire place (and since it was chilly in San Fran during our stay - the fire place was great!)Breakfast in the morning was nice .
Internet is available (wifi in room ) and you can print in the lobby too.//FoodI didn't try the food at Powell Hotel.
The room was nice , clean & confortable , facing Sutter Street on the 6th floor, with a fantastic bed (see picture).
we asked for a twin room and it was tiny, 2 tiny single beds that were like a saggy lilo. Overall a horrible hotel and I won't be returning.
Location, service, accommodations and staff are excellent .
We were located right beside the breakfast reception area .
My husband and I just returned from a trip to SF and stayed 3 nights at the HI Express FW.
The bar staff were friendly, drink prices were reasonable.and there was a good atmosphere .
Our west facing room on the 5th floor was comfortable, clean, and spacious .
The room was large, clean, and well maintained .
The full, and I do mean full, breakfast in the morning is incredible and it's a chance to chat with guests from all over the world about their plans for the day.
The down side of the location is that this is not a great section of Market and most people probably will not feel too comfortable walking at night.
Understood renovations were accomplished; not as elegant as expected; did not has elete floor as told so had to wait in line in the lobby for coffee; rooms has 2 double not queen beds and NOT enough room for 2 people to walk around room; not enough room to get in one side of bed; the veiw was great; they did change molded shower curtain when asked; Great location!
This is a wonderful hotel with nice rooms, wonderful breakfast each morning (the waffles are awesome) and close to everything.
The lobby was beautiful and the location can not be beeat .
The room was horrible .
I was able to have a light breakfast and enjoyed the view of the city streets below.
First time booking with Expedia on a recent trip to San Francisco and was not really sure what to expect but our expectations were surely exceeded!
The free breakfast was decent .
Since the hotel is right at the end of the Powell trolley line , I was unhappy to realize that my room was filled with the clang-clang late into the evening and early in the morning -- something of a wake up call, I guess.
i was able to see golden gate bridge we loved the jet spa bathtub good experience in there!
The breakfast was basic but did the job.
We got a really good rate of $109/night on hotwire.
To their credit, the reception staff were very friendly and understanding , and fulfilled my request straight away (rooms at the rear of the building, whilst smaller, are far quieter).The rooms themselves were clean and comfortable, but a single room isn't overly spacious.
The hotel is at a fairly good location with easy access to the shopping district and a Walgreens a block away.
We have stayed there on 2 occasions & the wonderful staff, convenient location, & clean, quiet rooms keep us coming back! Located at Broadway & Van Ness , Castle Inn is in a nice neighborhood with drug store, grocery, cafes & cute shops within close walking distance.
the room was not very spacious , but worked for it.
There are lots of restaurants within walking distance .
That room was nice .
The room had much dust , e alergic tavelers may hav problems...
The Continental Breakfast was quick and convenient .
The hotel itself is very nice looking with a modern decor. Our room, single king bed, was more than adequate.
The room was quiet and spacious as well as clean.
The desk staff is extremely friendly and helpful .
The staff are friendly, the rooms are a good size and everything is clean and modern .
The location's great as it's near Union Square and Westfield Shopping Centre !
There was a light breakfast offered , the bagels were very good.
The hotel was built in 1906 after the earthquake so the rooms are not huge but the are beautiful and clean .
The Hotel is in a great location , the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Quiet and spacious rooms, friendly staff and fabulous breakfasts .
This hotel has great amenities ...great location... and generally excellent service.
It was super clean, rooms were clean and nice and a good size .
Did I mention super polite? The wonderful and bountiful breakfast spread in the morning on each floor .
The rooms are comfy and include all the amenities you expect from a major hotel.
Many restaurants were within walking distance and the view to the water from some of the rooms was fabulous.
The hotel is excellent and good value for money with good sized rooms and breakfast included, only a short walk to Fisherman`s Wharf and Pier 39 , Regular bus services running past the hotel, and close to the Street and Cable cars.
But if you want a place centrally located in SF that's cheap (at least the rate I got on Priceline was), it is fine .
The room was outstanding - we were upgraded to a front room suite which looked towards the S.F. bay.
Great location --easy walking distance to lots of thngs and easy access to public transportation.
And, the location of the hotel is perfect-- while my husband was at his meeting, I had TONS of shopping and restaurant hopping to do !
The hotel is walking distance to many attractions .
We were fortunate enough to have a courtyard room which I gather is a better option .
The room wasn't huge but had an awesome bed, an LCD TV, Bose clock radio, etc .
There are restaurants near the Holiday Inn .
We were shocked at how SMALL the room was! The room is very small .
Oh and there is also fresh fruit in the gym , which might be a nice snack as the mini bar and room service are quite pricey.
We have a room with 2 beds, very tight! The view overlooking Union Square was spectacular.
The location is perfect for the theater, shopping at Union Square, has a fantastic restaurant , Cortez, and it was a totally yin and yang experience.
You might be a little skeptical about this place, because it is way, way, cheaper than hotels in the general area .
The location is fantastic , assuming you prefer Union Square to the Wharf.
Everything about our stay at Best Western- Tuscan Inn was great, location to the wharf , cable cars and everything we wanted to see and do.
Breakfast is limited to toast and muffins with plenty of choice with drinks though.
Read all the reviews prior to booking and arriving so we knew what to expect and we were not disappointed.
Rooms were quite large - very exquisite - excellent service and great breakfast .
One last thing was the front desk was very rude .
This hotel is a DUMP !
The breakfast on each floor is simple but nice .
which proved to be a bad location which will elaborate on later.
We enjoyed the location of the hotel (5 minutes from Union Square).
Friendly personnel and top location!
Good location in town, decent sized rooms and pretty helpful staff .
The rooms were not particularly clean and our final night was ruined by the incompetence of the hotel staff.
Room was large , comfy, clean, great bathroom.
The hotel is in a wonderful location at the top of Nob Hill .
The breakfast is fine i.e. not great
We stayed at the Hotel Whitcomb (formerly Ramada (@ 8th & Market) in San Francisco during Easter weekend 2007 .
The breakfasts were wonderful ; fresh fruit, croissants, fresh hot breads, quiches, sausages, scrambled eggs, french toast, as well as hot and cold cereals, juices, coffee and teas.
Quiet and spacious rooms, friendly staff and fabulous breakfasts .
The location is outstanding for the convention center , SFMOMA, Yerba Buena Gardens, Union Square, and BART.
With that said, the hotel itself was very clean, amenities felt new, and the staff was superb !
We met up with a friend in San Francisco and he booked this hotel for us
Room on the 4th floor northside facing Pine.
We even missed the free wine hour but what the heck, the staff was so pleasant and not in a superficial,' I don't mean it' kind of way.
This place was so great! The location was amazing and the free parking makes it even better.
The breakfast was excellent and featured homemade baked goods , and we enjoyed the little treats that were available in the lobby throughout the day.
They did a great job!They gym at this hotel is very nice with great cardio and weight machines.
The room was fine , basic but nice with a comfortable bed.
The air conditioning unit needs to be placed in a recycling yard , it does ruin the look of the room and is quite noisy.
Nice rooms, reasonable buffet breakfast included, with plent to do nearby .
The location is outstanding for the convention center , SFMOMA, Yerba Buena Gardens, Union Square, and BART.
 The restaurant next door called Daily Grill serves some good food and not too pricey and always busy with good atmosphere .
(even provided salsa when requested) Location can't be beat .
The room at first glance was very nice but then you can see real age .
A perfect location , can get loud outside, but overall would recommend hotel!
The breakfast that is provided was quite enough to satisfy my needs and very tasty .

The hotel is in a incredible location on Fisherman's Wharf with an approximate walk of ten minutes to Pier 39.
This hotel completely ruined what was a lovely trip up until then.
Good value for the price .
The breakfast is perfect as is the afternoon wine and cheese.
Breakfast was fine .
The location is fantastic - right in the midst of union square.
Horrible location , it's skidrow.
He shows up & lets me into the room - which is actually a pretty big suite w/ a kitchenette, roof-top access & a killer view.
The location is super - just across from Pier 39 and walking distance to Alcatraz pier, tram and many other sights.
This place was near perfect and much cheaper than the other hotels in the area.
at the hotel, really good deal compared to the price and the location .
My first time in SF would've been better if we had booked a better hotel.
The desk staff was very friendly and knowledgable with any info.
