Backdoor Kitchen is worth every penny.

Without my fellow yelpers, I never would have found this jem hidden behind a warehouse. Yes, a warehouse. The owners of backdoor kitchen have done a wonderful job of transforming a drab area into a beautiful…More »

If you're planning on taking a ferry to B.C or the San Juan Islands, I recommend arriving at least 40 minutes before the ferry leaves. If not earlier. We arrived 15 minutes before the 11am ferry & missed it, and because our car was in line for the…More »

This is a review for the Lakedale camping:

I was really pleased at how friendly & helpful the entire Lakedale staff was for our visit last weekend. Because it was the end of the summer season, the campground was at low capacity and we were able to set…More »

3.0 star rating

On a recommendation, we stopped by Rocky Bay Cafe last Sunday and waited about 15 minutes for a table. The cafe is small, seating around 20 tables. During my wait, I eyed the food & honestly wasn't incredibly impressed.

I was nicely surprised,…More »

The San Juan Historical Park is worth a visit for its beautiful scenic views from the periphery of the island. There are two historical parts of the park- American camp, on the south end of the island, and English Camp, on the north-west end.

Lavender is my favorite color, but not my favorite smell.

So, this was only half-good. The lavender farm is pretty large, but not all that interesting. You've seen one row of lavender, you've seen them all. It is worth the drive if you're on the…More »

The best advertisement for any ice cream store is customers walking around on a sunny day, licking their ice cream cone. That's what eventually broke me down. I was trying to be good, I was trying to avoid the sugar, but I couldn't help myself. It…More »

They call themselves "your favorite market", and honesty, this town is so small it's the only market I could find. It's easy to be the favorite, when you're all I have to chose from!

They charged me $2 for a travel-size face wash (is that what this…More »

Pleasant Surprises- Portland area edition (9)

These places kicked my snobby, cynical butt back into reality. Not so bad, after all!

On the Search for Good Sushi (11)

I've found the best: Murasaki in SF. Now I'm looking far and wide for a comparable Japanese restaurant on the peninsula. To date, to no avail.

Not all food is made equally- Best of SF (13)

Moving away from the city was particularly difficult when I realized the great restaurants I'd be missing. These are the places that are worth the trip back.
