  Update - 11/1/2009

I've been in here many times since my first review - and it is always top-notch.  Last two times there has been this new waitress, and she is spec-fucking-tacular.  So so so sweet, chatty but not invasive, and remembers you between your visits (then…More »

The Boiler House is a beautiful restaurant.  I love the decor, I love the building, it makes me want to get married again and host it there.  It is truly lovely.

I went with the wonderful Yelpers for our book club meeting here.  There was a very nice…More »

Over the last year I've been in here 3 times.  The first two times for dinner - and it was pretty darn MEH.  It's unfortunately really, they have an alluring patio - and people seem to be enjoying themselves, but the food has generally been nothing…More »

  Update - 11/12/2009

Happy to report that the cafe is bug-free.  I've been here for two hours and have enjoyed myself so much that I have not done any work.  Instead, I've surfed the web using the free wi-fi, given myself the caffeine shakes with a delicious latte, and…More »

I'm a big fan of this place - it is directly across the street from my work and so I adore hoping over here for a nice, relaxing, yummy lunch.  I feel extra sneaky if I come over at 11:30 instead of 12 and I beat the crowd.

I think this place is…More »

The beacher has officially become my go-to brunch place in the beach.  
We've hit up a few brunch places in the beach and this one has the best food by far.  Obviously, it's no Bonjour Brioche Bakery, but it's close and the fact that there are no wait…More »

I stumbled upon this place while poking around this neighborhood looking for a place to do some work and grab some lunch.  They don't have wi-fi which is too bad, but in reality wi-fi leads to distraction, so I was able to be a little more productive…More »

This is the place you should go to if you want to see your breakfast about 30 minutes after you've ingested it.  Is that TMI?

I don't know anyone who can properly digest the breakfast here.  It is *that* greasy.  I'm not sure if that is an endorsement…More »
