Mixed experience with few highlights

Mon, 17 May 2004 03:20:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - If you are a professional restaurant reviewer, have spectacular looks or a lot of money, you get to sit in the main room which is a very romantic place with fabric ceiling and huge flower arrangements. We, however, were assigned to the small room next to...

A great place for a great evening

Sat, 24 May 2003 01:55:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - You feel welcome from the moment you enter the restaurant. The smiling staff is clearly focused on making it an enjoyable evening. The food is presented with enthusiasm, the wine is discussed in knowledgeable detail and in flowery language, and everyone...

They still need to learn how to cook a steak

Sat, 24 May 2003 01:32:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - Few restaurants have the courage to charge $30.00+ for a steak (without side dishes) - but I would gladly pay that price for a great steak. However, when the steak is overdone and only OK, I really don't feel like going back. Even so, I actually went to...

Comfortable, sporty, with bugs (updated review - 4 & 8 & 15 $ 20 months)

Sat, 23 Mar 2002 02:41:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - The following section is updated after 20 months of driving the car: I downrated the recommendation for the car. I always thought I had a "lemon". It turns out that all 745's are in the garage just as must as on the road. My service advisor told me that...

Radisson: SAS Scandinavia Radisson

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 01:52:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - I made my room reservation after having checked special prices on the Web. I saved almost 50% by being able to refuse the quoted room rate and insist on the weekend rate of DKK 1,150 ($130 with the exchange rate when I visited last).

Hilton Hotel Chain: London Hilton Metropole

Wed, 20 Jun 2001 01:14:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - Michelin rewards Hilton Metropole 4 towers. My experience translates into between 1 and 2 stars.

The hotel is modern, very close to Edgware Road Station (Tube/Underground), close to Paddington Station with express train to Heathrow.

Grande style with most details right

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 02:15:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - Bellagio is designed around the idea of thinking big. The lake, the fountain, the casino, the decorations, and the level of ambition are all huge.

From the bellboy to the concierge, everyone is polite and makes the most of a computerized...

Wild and sophisticated

Sun, 17 Sep 2000 03:03:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - You will get sophisticated and satisfying food at Wild Hare. The servings are varied, generous, and well-composed. Vegetables, mushrooms and spices contrast and supplement the great meat. Choose from rabbit (I got rabbit prepared three ways - whereof two...

Bubbles and great food

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 02:36:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - It is a hard choice: Should you sit inside this elegant tastefully decorated restaurant, or should you sit on their veranda, overlooking a perfect lawn with trees and water fountains. We selected the veranda complete with white table clothes, summer...

Auberge du Soleil

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 23:18:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - Auberge du Soleil may very well be the most expensive resort in the US. The price for the hotel may not be that high - but add all the extras (meals, drinks etc.), and you can count on approximately $1,000 - $1,500 per couple per day, depending on the...

Auberge Du Soleil: Ambitious but slightly uneven

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 23:06:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil has a fabulous view (see my review of the resort itself in the Wine Country section). If you stay at the resort, the location allows you to select from the extensive wine menu without any misgivings about driving...

Turned the corner and improved again

Sat, 6 May 2000 23:03:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - When Amber opened in 1995, it was no doubt the best Indian restaurant in the Bay Area. However, during late 1999 and early 2000, service and food quality declined. Happily, it seems that Amber has now turned the corner, paid attention to food quality and...

Intimate and innovative

Sat, 1 Apr 2000 23:59:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - This restaurant is so small that one person in our group thought that we were only in the lobby when in fact we were in the main (and only) room in the restaurant. However, the decor makes up for it with exquisite details, light and airy color scheme,...

Archived Autos & Motorsports Reviews: BMW Claridges in Fremont, CA

Fri, 17 Dec 1999 02:16:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - Service at this dealership was great until I signed the dotted line: Buffet with tempting food, sales staff buzzing etc.

However, after I signed, this all changed. Picking up the car took 2-1/2 hours, mostly because I was waiting for the accounting...

Watch out if Verio buys your ISP

Wed, 22 Sep 1999 01:52:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - In 1997, I selected Aimnet as the ISP for my company. Shortly thereafter, Aimnet was bought from Verio. Immediately, service started to drop - most often literally. The service would be disconnected for days. Most agonizing was a three day...

PacBell: Only for masochists

Tue, 14 Sep 1999 02:20:34 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - "Yikes" describes my experience pretty well.

I received a cell phone as a gift from one of the big cell phone manufacturers, and made the huge mistake of trying to set it up through Pacific Bell PCS.

First my assistant spent...

BMW540i - w. comparison to Mercedes

Sat, 11 Sep 1999 12:43:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Hannah - See also my review of the new 745i (2002).

Through 8 months of driving the BMW 540i, I've come to love the car.

I bought the car because of its sportiness, luxurious feel, and safety features and record. Because I like the...
