I don't know why, but most or all of my family member in Edmonton had some sort of party in their ballroom. I've only stayed here a couple of times so far. Some of the theme rooms look cool, whereas others look cheessy and seedy.

One of the best things about this place is that it is a Dental-Optical clinic, so it kills 2 birds with 1 stone, instead of finding 2 separate places to get your eyes checked and teeth cleaned, etc.
Dental-Optical is a family business and very family…More »

I wish there was an Earls here in the Bay, but there's not. =-(
The calamari with the tzatziki sauce and the fetuccini alfredo is delicious. I think they may have changed their menu, but I'm not sure. I'll find out in September!

French fusion food at its finest in Edmonton. The crossiants that they serve up when you first get there are crispy and buttery. I recommend trying the thai noodle salad and the green curry with shrimp and noodles.

They don't have the Roots brand in the Bay Area so everytime I make a trip to Canada, I stock up sweaters and shirts. Sounds pretty dorkish, but it's cool when you're wearing a Roots shirt down here and someone recognizes the brand. Haha
