Problem: I've never been to a "bad" JJ before - the locations I've ever visited (LA, San Diego, Seattle, Phoenix) have all been consistent and obviously very standardized. So, round-of-applause for that! Went to the downtown location yesterday for lunch and was waiting *patiently* behind a lady who took the menu WAYYYYYY too seriously. Damn woman! It should not take 3-4 minutes to decide what smoothie you want? Should it? Or am I just an ass?? Well, anyways - the personnel noted this and started interacting w/the line (of 4 ppl) and started to get the smoothie making party started. Great job!!! But, sadly - I was not asked what free power boost I wanted in mine. I really needed extra protein yesterday so boooo! Regardless, the smoothie was fantastic - had the Light Mango-A-Go-Go.

Problem: As a proud owner and overhauled of a 1951 Ranch home, I'm a connoisseur of hardware stores in the same way a social media fan is a connoisseur of coffee houses. As my local hardware store, Walt's is my go to place for my home reno needs. Sure, I still shop at the big box stores for materials, etc,. But Walt's can't be beat for those last minute items you forgot you needed, ran out of, or broke. As well, it's small but well stocked shop is much easier to navigate, and the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable and able to make recommendations about what you need. Moreover as they are located in a mid century neighborhood, they are familiar with the challenges of dealing with older houses in a way that a lot of the staff in big box stores simply aren't. So if you are tired of the soulless big box experience, give Walt's a try next time you need to do something around your home. You won't be disappointed.

Problem: I am so in love...of course minus one thing of course. I will never be fully satisfied it seems. I went to Ocean Prime for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I had a reservation for 5 and the service from the start was awesome. We were in one of the rooms, so we couldn't hear any of the noise from the bar. The place is well lit and easy to have a conversation with my friends. They started us off with a veggie and relish tray, which I have to say I fell in love with the the cream cheese dip that they had. And their bread was AMAZING!!! I ordered the Chop Chop salad which was divine. My friend Jen had the same thing and just loved it. We also both ordered a Greyhound (Vodka and Grapefruit) and I loved the fact that the bartender actually squeezed the actual grapefruit. I now am ruined from any other Greyhound. My other friends ordered French Onion Soup...that looked so yummy, I wished I ordered it. (They both said it was great) My one friend also ordered the Ravioli and the other two shared the surf and turf appetizer...all said was wonderful. The only two setbacks that made me not give this place five stars is when our food was served. Rayna told the waiter French Onion soup first...but was then given the Raviolis. And when my friends asked the waiter to bring out a candle for my Carrot Cake...somebody else brought it out for us....minus the candle. (And for the first time tasting Carrot Cake...not bad!!!) I will back again though....so I can have some French Onion soup with a Greyhound.

Problem: Absolutely best savory crepes since Cafe' Michelle's in the 70s... the savory crape with shrimp (nice size) mushrooms, and tomatoes, in a buttery lemon sauce was EXCELLENT!!! THE BEST!!! Lobster bisque bakes in pastry puff was bold and rich, soooo good. Service was fast and friendly. I will go back to try new items. Restaurant was founded and created by real chefs!!!
