Very Lovely Home-Style Studio
Review submitted: September 14, 2010 Date of arrival: September 5, 2010
We stayed one week at the studio and had a wonderful time! The use of the bicycles, beach mats, beach towels, boogie boards and charcoal barbecue was so nice~! We couldn't have found that at a high-rise in Waikiki! The area was so quiet and so convenient to restaurants and shopping (Macy's!), literally minutes away! I want to Thank James for providing us his lovely home - but we only met him briefly on our arrival. The place is much larger and prettier than the photo. The internet worked very well and we enjoyed the many tv channels. There was a medium sized refrigerator, microwave, rice cooker, hot plate, coffee pot, coffee and filters, salt and pepper, plates,bowls, utensils and a handy large sink with a scrubby and dish soap to wash them up with. The towels were large and fluffy - even the dishtowels! We will definately stay again! We used the washing machine once ($2.00 wash/dry). What a lovely, affordable plave - felt like our own home for a week! Perfect for two people maximum. We enjoyed eating at Mokes and Teddies for burgers. Highly recommended!!!

Owners response: Thank you very much for being such wonderful and considerate guests! We certainly enjoyed sharing our home , kayaks, bikes, boogie boards etc. with such friendly people. We're so glad you enjoyed Kailua so much, it's like heaven on earth to us and we're happy to share it with you! Much Aloha!

Accurately listed and met our expectations! No, it's not the Hilton with room service and plastic surgery, but this cute little place we would definitely recommend to our like-minded friends and family. It had everything we needed - even things we didn't think we'd need, all neat and tidy. And you can count on the host to get back to you quickly, which is nice to have a trustworthy and helpful owner within reach. Mahalo for sharing the aloha!

Simple and Cozy
Review submitted: August 11, 2013 Date of arrival: October 3, 2012
The house was in a nice & quite location, everything was within a 5-10 minute drive from the unit. The bed was okay but was not a major concern as we only used the room as a place to stay at night when we were not out exploring the island. The owner was accessible and responded quickly in regards to our initial inquiries.
The overall experience was good and would highly recommend the properties to others wishing to vacation within the east side of the island. We can't wait until we have the ability to come back out again.

Perfect Little Studio! Great for 2 people!
Review submitted: August 3, 2013 Date of arrival: March 19, 2013
This was a great little studio. My boyfriend & I are from San Francisco, CA. We stayed here for a 1 week in spring. The photos & descriptions provided are very accurate. It has a nice bathroom, AC, little TV, mini fridge, and small table w/ chairs. The studio was very clean. They also provided a change of bed sheets and beach towels as well as free access to their beach gear like boogie boards. The price was very affordable. The location was great, right in Kailua. Just a short 5 minute car ride to the beach. If you're not renting a car, you could definitely walk to the beach in 15 minutes and take a nearby bus to the stores. The neighborhood is nice & quiet with no tourists around. There was a Whole Foods & Down to Earth grocery store also close by. The only downside was the old mattress left my back sore, but other than that, things were great. There is a washer and dryer in the garage that you have access to. I would DEFINITELY stay here again. I was originally very weary of using a rental website and transferring money through PayPal, but it turned out to be very convenient and safe. We never saw the owner during our stay. We just picked up the keys in the mailbox, found our room, and stayed settled in. Then upon departure, we just cleaned up a bit and left the keys for the owner. We also got our deposit back within a timely manner. This little studio in Kailua was sooo much better than staying in busy Honolulu. If I ever get the chance to return to Oahu, I will try and book this place again. THANK YOU very much for letting us stay here!

Lived like a local boy
Review submitted: July 31, 2013 Date of arrival: July 19, 2013
If you want to live like a local then this is for you. I'm a 25 yr/old male that decided to travel to Oahu on my own and this arrangement was perfect. I wanted a real experience; not the whole "tourist" thing or to stay in a hotel in busy Waikiki; like I did when my family first traveled there. The Kailua studio was just what I needed. The neighborhood was quiet and it was incredibly close to downtown Kailua's shopping areas and amazing beaches(Kailua and Lanikai).
The house was really easy to get to from the airport as well... Pretty much 3 roads. The room had a small fridge, microwave, a small SD TV (you shouldn't need to watch it much...you're in Hawai'i), window a/c, ceiling fan, tile floors throughout and a great bathroom. The walk in shower was great...and it had a hand-held shower head :). Many cooking utensils were provided too.
It was a great place to base my operations from due to its location to Kaneohe, Waimanalo, and freeways. I could hang out with my buddies in Kaneohe, come back to change, and then head to Honolulu for a concert.
I never saw the staff either, but that was fine with me. They trusted me to do what I needed to do and I respect that.
If you want the "local" experience at a good price I suggest going this route.
It's the best feeling to walk out the door to your car in the morning and have the mountains greet you.

Owners response: Thank you very much for your very nice comments. We appreciate it very much as we work hard to make your stay a pleasant experience. We have a nice location ,3 blocks town side of Enchanted Lake shopping Center , so it's convenient to restaurants and Safeway. We try to anticipate and provide everything we would like when we're on vac. Thank you very much. We enjoyed having you visit. Aloha! :-)

Great value, very clean, private
Review submitted: February 23, 2013 Date of arrival: February 6, 2013
It was wonderful to find really clean, decent accomodation in Kailua for an excellent price. We stayed for two weeks here and are impressed at how well thought out this studio was-with everything we needed including bikes and kayaks. The owner always responded quickly to any questions we had. This studio had no one living above or below and felt like a private cabin. Kailua was a real treat with an incredible beach, shops and great walks. In comparison, Honolulu seemed like a traffic nightmare with overcrowded beaches and shopping. We certainly recommend this suite for anyone seeking decent, cheap, basic accomodation.

Review submitted: October 13, 2012 Date of arrival: October 6, 2012
My wife and I spent a week in Unit 3 and was very pleased. I liked that it was in a working class, residential neighborhood. The room was well stocked, & clean. Seriously, you can't go wrong with accommodations that provide a hot plate, microwave, dishes, utensils, pots, pans and my personal favorite, a coffee maker. The tv was a little small, but we really didn't watch it much anyway. Free WIFI and free off street parking is a true value added bonus in a world that charges for the little things. I have already begun telling my friends about this little hideaway and maybe one day we will get an opportunity to stay again.

Review submitted: July 13, 2012 Date of arrival: June 7, 2012
i couldn't believe I could find anything in this famous neighborhood at such a resonable price! it was a great deal. We drove to the beach each day.about 4 min. We rented kayaks one day and a kitesurfer another day. it was worth the expense. Rode around the neighborhood on James' bikes, old but worked well. Better than renting at $25/day which lots of other tourists in town do. We come 2-3 times a year and this is the best bargain. Newly renovated bathroom and comfy queen bed. Very clean. Knowledgeable owner with fun info. Helps that he has a couple units so 1 is avail when I decide to come at a short notice.

We really enjoyed our stay at this studio apartment for a great price. This place is a short drive to the beautiful Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach, close to restaurants and shops. It is well maintained, clean, bright and air conditioned. The room is small but clean and excellent value for the price. The bathroom is huge, new renovated and very clean. The kitchenette is well stock with basic necessities for a quick meal or BBQ. The owner James is a real pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!! Mahalo James. Alan & Megan, Vancouver, Canada

Owners response: This is the size of a regular Hawaii bedroom. Not large, but a lot bigger than many of the budget hotel rooms here and ie., Europe. Please don't expect luxurious space at this super price! Some hotels do not even have a small refrig like we do. And we try hard to provide all the dishes, utensils, pots, pans, and small appliances you may need.

Great Studio, Convenient Location
Review submitted: February 25, 2011 Date of arrival: September 13, 2010
The studio was perfect and had everything I needed. Microwave, toaster, hot plate, plates, cups, utensils, a small frig/freezer combo that worked perfectly. There were lots of towels, a big closet and a small table with 2 chairs. The bathroom was a good size and the toiletries were such a nice touch.
Being able to do laundry ($1.25 to wash/$0.75 to dry) was a plus. Having parking on the premises is great. The studio is close to shopping and restaurants. It was nice to come home to after a day at the beach or sightseeing. I even used the 2 Boogie Boards that were on the private patio.
I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again!

Ridiculously cheap and clean. Not super comfy.
Review submitted: February 23, 2011 Date of arrival: February 8, 2011
"I'm really torn. It was soooo cheap. Especially when I found out what other places in Hawaii charge. I mean the place was SPOTLESS. It was close to Starbucks. However, I feel like I would be doing a disservice to not truthfully review the pros and cons of this place as from the previous reviews, we thought we were getting something a little different...
If you are looking for bare bones, absolutely no frills whatsoever lodging, then this is great!
Pros included, plenty of hot water, extra towels, (though they had a perceptible odor), multiple cable channels (on a 13" tv), and a great, cheap washer and dryer. Fast too! Only $1.75 to wash and dry! Boogie boards were great! Off-street parking! Nice shower!
Cons would include the following: The bed: the mattress and pillows were so incredibly old, I can't even describe how they are actively held together. Their age creeped me out a little. The environment: You can imagine my disappointment when we pulled up to a paint peeling facade with grass growing through the concrete. It's not important though, if you don't mind. Quite a few and variety of appliances and cooking implements provided, but in our particular unit I have no idea how or where you would use these. I have also been lead to believe that previous renters are responsible for cleaning these items so you kind of have to trust that the previous renters did an adequate job.
Not entirely important but should be noted: Interior hollow-core doors used as exterior doors led me to worry initially about security, but after a couple days there, I realized it was a VERY safe quiet area. Not so quiet however, was our unit as the first night, without the air conditioner blasting, you could hear loud snoring from the unit next door. This was rectified by cranking the air conditioning to maximum every night, but then it was too cold and there was only one thin, worn blanket provided. So take your pick: listen to snoring or be a little chilly. The bikes were rusted heaps that we never took anywhere. The beach is pretty far away. Also, no smoke detector? Really?
So, all in all, if you're cool with all these things, this place is a bargain and perfectly adequate. If you're expecting a comfy or cozy little vacation rental you will be disappointed. I don't want to be too harsh, 'cause the for the price, you ARE getting a bargain, but I just want people to be aware of what they're really getting for such a REASONABLE price."
Recommended for: adventure seekers, sight seeing
Owners response: Yes. This rental is a great bargain. We are in the process of doing constant improvements. Sorry about the grass. We try to keep it trim but it was raining for a week so it grows fast and we can't use cut when it's wet. The insides have all been upgraded and new bathroom upgrades. Our cleaners do all the cleaning and laundry so we are thankful they do a good job. This is Hawaii and we still get salt breezes so while the bikes look rusty, they are safe and functional-the utility belies the looks. So are still making improvements so it keeps getting better. We ask that if you are in need of anything please let us know at the time. We will add extra blankets. Glad you enjoyed the bargain. Aloha.

We really did have great time.
Review submitted: February 12, 2011 Date of arrival: January 29, 2011
I want to start by saying the accomodations were entirely adequate for the purpose intended & price paid. For that I would give five stars. We had a really nice stay. I am a little confused about how many units there really are. Looks like @ least 3 & maybe more. The draw back is that the exterior is a little unkept & has a car sitting in the yard ( it did leave about half way through but the mark left in the yard suggest that is probably it's home). The Lanai is so small it is pretty much unusable. Doesn't matter though because you won't be there very long. We were dissappointed when we first drove up, however, after we realized we would only be there @ night & the unit is more than adequate we decided it would be O.K.
Just wanted the people who rent this to understand that you get what you pay for.
All in all, if you are looking for a reasonable price with no frills this will be for you.

Owners response: Thanks for the 5 stars for the purpose and price, I think that's the main criteria. Sorry about the grass, the weeds grow fast after a little rain and I didn't get a chance to cut it...but I try to get to it asap. Don't be fooled by the exterior...I think the most important thing is the interior where you' ll be staying and they have all been upgraded!

We only stayed here for 3 nights and wished it was more. We enjoyed the cozy room with everything one might want. The bathroom was very spacious and very clean. The location was perfect for exploring both local beaches and going to the north shore for a day trip. Great and safe location and an amazing sushi restaurant within walking/biking distance. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and relatives. Thank you James!

There is sooo much to see and do on this wonderful island, from the famous Diamond Head, Punchbowl, Pearl Harbor, hikes, Hanauma Bay snorkeling, kitesurfing at Kailua Beach, eating shaved ice (snow cones) at Island Snow. You can do a lot or nothing at all, just rest at the beautiful beach!! Aloha, James

This place is the perfect little home away from home. We had everything we needed while we were staying here, and could go anywhere in our car. There were also bikes available, if you wanted to use them, and a great little coin-operated laundry area, which was so convenient. We ran/walked every day to the beach, so it was nice being so close. The place was super clean, quiet, and perfect for a single or couple to come home to after a day of adventure. And James was SO nice upon our arrival and departure! I would definitely come back and definitely recommend this place to others!

Fantastic stay in Kailua!
Review submitted: March 29, 2010 Date of arrival: February 28, 2010
This little apartment was perfect for our three-week stay in Kailua! Being in the neighborhood really made us feel like locals and not tourists. The town of Kailua is great, and everyone is so nice and welcoming! We never got to actually meet James but he was super nice and helpful over the phone. The apartment is just as described, and looks even nicer than in the pictures! Sure it's tiny, but how much time are you going to spend inside in Hawaii?? The bed is big and comfy, the towels are soft, and it was nice to have all the shampoo, soap, and dishwashing things so we didn't have to buy that ourselves (even though Safeway is only a 10 minute walk away). It was nice to be woken by the sun every day and head out for walk on the beach (about 25 minutes away if you're strolling - be sure to stop by Island Snow for some shave ice on the way). The weather was perfect, we never needed the air conditioning, just left the windows open and it was perfect; and when it rains it's very brief. The room is really clean, and you never really hear or see anyone else (apart from the neighbor's dog in the morning) so it feels very private. The bathroom was really nice and big, and it's good that it has it's own door so you don't have to bring your sandy stuff into the bedroom. It was also nice to have such easy access to the laundry room (coin-operated). The wi-fi is fast and pretty strong, only faltered when using Skype, but for all other web stuff it was really fast, we even downloaded a couple movies on our Macs with no problem. The neighborhood is nice and we felt comfortable walking around at all hours. You're right near the elementary school so there are lots of parks and playgrounds nearby. And having access to the free parking was great when we rented a car for a weekend, but FYI the bus stop is super close!
All in all, this was a great place to relax and use as a home base when exploring Kailua - we didn't want to leave! We'll definitely be staying here again when we return to Kailua someday :)
Oh, and stop by Moke's for breakfast, Teddy's for burgers, and Great Harvest for fresh-baked breads every day. The Thursday Farmer's Market is also a fun stop!

Small, but comfortable.
Review submitted: February 23, 2010 Date of arrival: February 7, 2010
The room is small but had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Shower was great with plenty of hot water. There was a washer and dryer that we could use. And James was a very helpful, and mannerly host. We were close to everything we wanted to do. We had parking off the street. It was a nice place to come home to. It wasn't fancy, but we were out alot and didn't want to pay for a fancy room.

Owners response: Thank you very much for your kind words. We enjoyed having such a wonderful couple stay with us. We are in a very convenient location and am glad you were able to enjoy the amenities, use the washer and dryer and bikes, and the offstreet parking. Mahalo and much aloha.

Had a nice two week stay. The unit had everything we needed and I sure liked staying in Kailua away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki. Was nice meeting James the owner.

It was just as described and a great bargain.
Review submitted: January 12, 2010 Date of arrival: December 15, 2009
It was clean and well maintained. It had all the amenities we needed. We went to Kailua beach 4 days to see what the Obamas enjoyed..it is really a beautiful beach. We were 2 blocks from shops and restaurants. Our favorite was the Food Company, great food and price, recommended by the owner. James was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time and want to go back soon.

Great location. Comfy place. Friendly owner.
Review submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of arrival: September 26, 2006
I had a very nice time from this great location. It is near shopping, the Food Company-a gourmet, fast food, local style food, McDonald's for a quick breakfast or snack, The Shack for burgers. One day, I caught the bus, 1/2 block away, $2.50 for Sea Life Park and Makapuu Beach for body surfing.
The description was very accurate, it had all the amenities necessary. It was very clean and well maintained. There is parking on the property. I couldn't believe how nice it was for the great economical price. Last year, I stayed at one so I could walk to the beach--it cost 2ce as much. But this place was just as nice, but it was a 3 min. drive to the beach but worth it for the money I saved. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I had a great time and would highly recommend this place to anyone.

The Newtown Sandy Hook Foundation, which oversees the $11.4 million in donations raised since the Dec. 14 shooting, has stated that the families of 20 children and six adults killed in the school shooting each will receive $281,000 in donations.
The foundation also decided that the families of 12 children who witnessed and survived the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December each will get $20,000. The two teachers who were injured will split $150,000.
Take a look at photos of the victims.
When a gunman opened fire inside a Newtown, Conn., elementary school on Dec. 14, 2012, he cut short 26 lives. Six women who worked at Sandy Hook Elementary were killed, in addition to 20 students -- 12 girls and eight boys.

Mopping up after the floods
The weather has been causing major problems across the region, with many parts of Cornwall and Devon badly affected.
At the moment, the Environment Agency has 12 flood warnings and 44 flood alerts in place for the South West.
Some businesses hit by the rain overnight are still clearing up after the floods earlier this Winter.

- best serviceDavidADined on 8/30/2014We had a great meal in one of my favorite restaurants. I love the ambiance and our waiter (Eric) was one of the best that I have had in a very long time. The food was great as usual.Special Features:
- Loved It!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/30/2014We celebrated our 11th Anniversary here and loved it. The food was wonderful and the service was perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PoohDined on 8/30/2014Loved the evening - all of it. The food was great. We used the $59 special and the 40% off a bottle of wine. It made the evening memorable and affordable to us.Special Features:
- Superb dining at its best.AlweavDined on 8/27/2014I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I have eaten in the top restaurants in New York and New Orleans, and this restaurant is right up there. Impeccable service, to-die-for food, and beautiful atmosphere. The oysters on the half shell were the biggest and most delicious I've had. Wait staff watched your every move and were waiting to refill your wine glass or clear your plate promptly. Best service I've had in a while. Would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best of it's kind!!TanyaDined on 8/25/2014Go here expecting a first class "old school" dining experience, with leopard wall- to-wall carpet! Great sequence of service. Fine wine service. Classic menu. This is a place you go to dine. This type of service needs to be experienced. Expect to spend the evening relaxing and talking with you guests. Very easily a 2 hour dinner service.Special Features:
- 2nd time the charmtoughcookieDined on 8/25/2014First visit was during restaurant week in DC! Table location was not optimal. This time, the food, ambiance (table 36) and especially the service (Eric) shined. Truly a local treasure. Initial house Manhattan & Cosmo helped get things going. Entertainment provided by the piano player, clientele and our waiter.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never fails to be greatRobertDined on 8/22/2014As always with the Prime Rim, the food is excellent and the service was outstanding. The Prime Rib is my go to restaurant for celebrating special events and it never fails to deliver.Special Features:
- Prime Beef?????HungryinSAVIPDined on 8/21/2014I usually don't write reviews unless the food is absolutely superb, or the experience is so bad!!! I am at a complete loss how this restaurant could be rated #1 in DC. Or how it got such high Zagat ratings. Upon ordering I asked the waiter for their signature cut Prime Rib, rare, juicy, and highly marbled was the request. What I received was dense, medium, with absolutely no flavor. I immediately asked the waiter to remove and bring what I asked for. The second one was not much better, a little rarer but extremely dense with no marbling, and again little flavor. My wife's small prime rib was uneatable, (which she left on her plate untouched) and the lobster was overcooked and chewy. "Prime Beef"????? I don't think so.
- Ol' ReliableClassicDinerDined on 8/20/2014Thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. If you want trends, go somewhere else. If you want to enjoy a great dining experience, don't go anywhere else. It's why I look forward to my return visits.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent overallFamilyDinnerDined on 8/13/2014Everything about the dinner and experience was excellent. The menu can be pricey but the food does not disappoint. The service was outstanding and friendly. The prime rib was very tastefully seasoned and cooked just right. I ordered the Prime Rib Special, which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. That was a great deal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- THE PLACE NOT TO MISS WHEN IN DCOlivierGDined on 8/12/2014Prime Rib is much more than a steak house. The service is excellent, the atmosphere thanks to jazz pianist, very peacefull and friendly. Food is very delicate.Special Features:
- MolardocDined on 8/12/2014Beautiful dining room with my kind of music. i have been going there it opened in the 1970's and never had a bad meal or experience. Although it is a steak house the seafood, particularly the crab, is outstanding. The service is way above average. Sometimes you mat want the waiter to join you at your table. The drinks are poured sufficiently. Has been our favorite for mny years.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/11/2014Very nice overall dining experience. Soup, salad, sides, and my wife's prime rib were delicious. My dry-aged NY strip was not up to par. Tasted OK but the cut of meat was not good. It looked like a steak out of a supermarket sales flyer. It was barely 1/2 inch thick. No where near the standard of a high quality steakhouse.Special Features:
- Great for special occasionsMeatgirlDined on 8/8/2014We went to The Prime Rib for our last dinner in DC after my daughter's summer internship. She is a music ed major and prime rib lover, so the great prime rib and live piano&string bass music playing made for a wonderful time. The staff was very personable and unpretentious, even though the restaurant was fine dining. My son had a shirt and tie, but had not packed a jacket for the trip. When we entered the restaurant, the Maitre D walked him to the coat room and Pentagon a jacket. He made him very comfortable when it could have been an awkward situation. We'd definitely return when in DC!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- girlfriends birthdayawestinoDined on 8/7/2014i brought my girlfriend here for her birthday dinner and she absolutely LOVED it. the decor, the service, the food...every last detail. she's an avid red meat eater so she especially loved the tender prime rib. she cant waits to go back.Special Features:
- CooksalotDined on 8/7/2014I love this wonderully old fashioned restaurant. The beef is fantastic. The service is impecable.Special Features:
- Washingtons #1 steak?? What year?EdwardSilkVIPDined on 8/6/2014I recently visited this steak house for my brothers birthday. His choice. I will have to say that I'd like to know what year this was voted Washingtons #1 steakhouse because I think they should count the votes again if it's was 2014. Was it good? Yes. Was it an amazing resturant all around including the steak? Certainly not. I know it's an iconic resturant but there are better steak places out there. It was over priced, inappropriatly portioned(regarding a $10 GIANT sweet potatoe and another $10 for 10 skinny sad looking grilled asparagus) the NY strip didn't have much flavor and the house salad was not that delicious either. In fact, the best thing on the menu is hands down the potatoe skins. Overall, first and last time I'll be visiting.Special Features:
- DC JewelKathyPDined on 8/6/2014Wonderful and relaxed lunch. Food and service were perfect. As good as food and service were, pianist, Dan Ruskin, and his gorgeous music really made the occasion memorable. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TraditionalBusinessDined on 8/4/2014I had a $200 gift card and went to Prime Rib with a friend. He left a cash tip, and I paid the balance of $62. That was great value for outstanding food, but I wouldn't have wanted to pay so much if I'd had to pay it all. Great service from waiter who provided information and advice but didn't intrude.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OversoldDined on 8/2/2014Food and service was first class. The light music and the solo by the maitre'd added to a great evening. We will probably return soon.Special Features:
- Old time steak placeReinharmVIPDined on 8/1/2014This is a through back to the steak joints of old... or it is a steak place of old that never changed! dark booths, white tablecloths, waiters in tuxes, jacket required for dinner, etc.Special Features:
- Food continues to be outstandingYummyDined on 7/31/2014Every time we go to The Prime Rib, we are so happy! From the service to the food, everything is perfect! As my husband said to my son, who hadn't remembered being there, from the drinks to the dessert, it all keeps getting better and better!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FirstCenturyVoyagerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/31/2014Side dishes were overpriced for the modest size of the servings. Ingredient costs for mashed potatoes are minimal. Why not give a decent-sized serving? Welcome was far from warm. Waiter was quite aloof and never smiled. After dinner coffee served was barely lukewarm. For a restaurant at this price point, there were several components of the dining experience that simply didn't measure up. Not surprising that the restaurant was two thirds empty on a weeknight. A famous restaurant appears to be slipping by inattention to the details.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service.StudDined on 7/31/2014The Prime Rib has been one of my all time favorites for 30 years. It's as good now as it ever was.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Prime Rib July 28, 2014OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/28/2014I had my birthday dinner here with a few of my family & friends. Such a nice atmosphere, elegant, and service was excellent. If you are a male planning on attending after 5 pm you are required to wear a suit jacketSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just too expensiveinvasivedocDined on 7/28/2014Just too expensive compared to what you get. Got a bill of 300$ for two people who got starters, main course and a bottle of not so good wine. Simply not worth it
- Our Favorite Place to Dine AloneBrunchVIPDined on 7/28/2014We LOVE everything about The Prime Rib. We have been dining there for YEARS. We first started going there when we were dating, and that was over 24 years ago now. It's our special occasion place, and we are never disappointed. Thank you Prime Rib!Special Features:
- RayCDined on 7/26/2014The Prime Rib Was Great we will be back everything was great I never had anything that was not first classSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Night outLetseatnowDined on 7/26/2014My wife and I had chosen to dine out at The Prime Rib last Saturday evening with a 5:45pm reservation. We typically don't like to eat this early, but thought it would be better than a 9:00pm reservation. We were pleasantly greeted at the door with no wait for out table which was perfectly situated right in front of the grand piano. Our server Dave was fantastic and patient as we were uncertain what we wanted. He was very attentive to us and made some excellent suggestions. We were under no schedule and ended up staying most of the night and left near 10:00. The ambiance was brilliant with a wonderful pianist and bass player that take requests. A very memorable evening for our anniversary.Special Features:
- Just OK--first time visitorKappatvatingDined on 7/26/2014This dining experience was mediocre at best. We arrived early since we were dining with our infant child to ensure we did not disturb other guest. While i appreciate the prompt service for my son and proper cost of his food ($10--vice the $30 charge at another fine dining restaurant last month for chicken and French fries for a 22 month old). My food lacked any WOW factor. The prime rib was tender when first presented but without a little extra au ju during the meal it became a little dry. My server never explained the menu nor made recommendations for meals or how to prepare the prime rib (I ordered medium) I noticed another server go into great detail about how the wine was 40% off and suggested ways to have the prime rib cooked.Special Features:
- mouthwatering meatOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014We are on holiday from England and I had heard about this on TV as the best Rib in Washington. It was not cheap but it was the best meat I ever had!Special Features:
- Romantic & ClassyDktran31VIPDined on 7/24/2014Went here for dinner on a Thursday night. My date and I enjoyed our time. We had the imperial crab appetizer, 18oz ribeye, 12oz prime rib, sautéed spinach and sautéed mushrooms. The food would be a 4.2/5. Service would be similar. They have a strict dress code for men, jackets are required after 5 pm. They also provide loaners if you do not have one. The establishment is very romantic and classy - with a live pianist. Great steak place - highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for business meetingRenaissanceWomanDined on 7/24/2014Quality ingredients, professionally cooked, excellent, personable service. Overall a 4+'star experience. Menu and decor could use some updating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mom's Bday SUCCESS!mothersbdayDined on 7/24/2014I do not remember my servers name. Nevertheless he was amazing and very patient. He treated my mother with love and care and I couldn't have chosen a better restaurant to attend! This was an overall joyous moment and occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OkayOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/22/2014The food was good. The service was okay. People very pleasant and respectful. Disappeared for extended periods a couple times. Having a jacket policy is fine, but not allowing someone to take it off during dinner 'because the owner doesn't like it' is ridiculous. Getting a little dated. Very mature crowd.
- Old Restaurant with its Old CharmDCVisitorDined on 7/21/2014Food is good. Service is excellent. Very pricey. The food doesn't even wow you. Need to update the ambiance. I know it's trying to keep up with the DC style but the place badly needs updating.
- WonderfulHellolydiaDined on 7/19/2014Simply wonderful. Amazing food and the service was top. One gentleman who wasn't our waiter even sang happy birthday in Italian in a lovely baritone - we loved it. They were attentive and funny and made the entire experience the perfect birthday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NANCYNANCYDined on 7/19/2014This was one of the best dinners I have had in DC in 23 years. How nice to finally eat in a upscale restaurant where men and women dressed appropriately, electronic equipment put away; no one was talking on cell phones; fantastic service that accommodated two physical problems; delicious food and a good pour on wine. Can't wait to return!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/18/2014I had very high hopes for this restaurant but was disappointed. This a place for old school folks and the food reflects as much.
- Great Place butNicks525Dined on 7/17/2014Ok I am from California so the Jack thing at a steakhouse has not been done in years... I did forget to bring my jacket, so if your a guy bring a jacket tie etc. Looks kinda funny when your in jeans. Overall the food is great. Tasty and like a traditional steakhouse.Special Features:

Thomas Building
DALLAS — A building that endured for 88 years in downtown Dallas came tumbling down in a matter of seconds Sunday morning.
The historic Thomas Building at 1314 Wood Street reached the end of the road and it was imploded.
The eight-story structure that has been a part of the city since 1924 was brought down in about 12 seconds by strategically-placed explosives.
Preservationists fought unsuccessfully to save the building.
All the streets surrounding the Thomas Building were blocked off for safety reasons, but small crowds gathered on Young Street to witness its demise.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Dogs, flies and smokers make up this week's Restaurant Ratings Report, but it's not all bad news, especially if you have a taste for pizza.
It starts on Telegraph Road this week at Long Shots Sports Bar in west Toledo. Inspectors found four violations total, including flies in the bar area and a can of ant and cockroach spray, hinting there's more than food calling the kitchen its home. Pest control may need to be called in and assess the situation.
Four violations were also found at The Oasis on Laskey Road in west Toledo. A lot of food from the grill had to be tossed in the garbage after it was being held at an unsafe temperature. Containers possibly harboring bacteria need to be washed, once again. Maintenance repairs are necessary for a broken cooler and freezer, plus inspectors added a friendly reminder to be sure to cover food stored in coolers and freezers.
Paris Nite Club on Front Street in east Toledo has been in violation of the state's smoking code. Employees and patrons were told lighting up is not allowed inside. Inspectors also suggested a thorough cleaning, after trash was found underneath and inbetween bar equipment.
Six violations were found at Hooters on Monroe Street in west Toledo. The initial visit required a follow-up because there was no hot water during the inspection and not enough sanitizer available for the dish machine. Inspectors also recommended continuing to replace and repair floor tiles.
North Toledo's Anchor Inn is attracting both man and dog. Two violations were uncovered in its latest inspection. A four-legged friend has been asked to be removed from the bar and a homestyle fridge needs to be replaced with a commercial model.
Also on Suder Avenue, inspectors found a meaty problem at T&Z China King. Fried chicken was cooling at room temperature and raw beef was thawing in standing water.
On the other hand, three eateries are coming in clean this week: Pizza Hut on Glendale Avenue in south Toledo, plus Bambino's Pizza on Monroe Street and The River Diner on West Alexis Road in west Toledo.

I'm just starting to put together a rack, and looking for route recommendations for a trad noob. I'm looking for good routes 1-5 pitches, and fixed anchors would be great. 5.6-5.8 would be my preferred range. I live in Seattle, and the closer the better. I'll definitely be getting out to Squamish and Leavenworth as well. Thanks.

You could also run up the Great NW Slab (I think that's what it's called), in Index. Great no-stress jamming with bolted anchors. Hit it up on the way to Leavenworth, it's quick.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into this Sunday's Week 14 battle between the Packers and Lions:
Lions DEs Cliff Avril, Turk McBride and Lawrence Jackson vs. Packers OTs Chad Clifton and Bryan Bulaga
The Packers are catching a big break in their second go-around with the Lions in not having to face DRE Kyle Vanden Bosch, who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday with a bulging disk in his neck. A savvy free-agent addition this past offseason who was previously a solid performer under Lions head coach Jim Schwartz with the Titans, Vanden Bosch's savvy and veteran leadership will be sorely missed.
Vanden Bosch was replaced in the starting lineup against the Bears last week by fourth-year journeyman Turk McBride, who played a very solid game against Chicago. Look for him to share duties at right end with ex-Seahawk Lawrence Jackson, a former first-round draft pick who has long arms and good speed but has a tendency to disappear. Collectively, they are a pretty significant downgrade from Vanden Bosch.
Avril, meanwhile, figures to be a much tougher matchup for Bulaga, who will have to be at his best this Sunday. After beefing up this past offseason, Avril fortified his already considerable pass-rush ability and is coming off a strong three-sack effort against the Bears (he has seven sacks for the season). Avril has a nonstop motor and is also very good against the run.
Clifton, who has held up well all season, came up with some concussion symptoms early in the week but apparently will be good to go on Sunday.

text: Ray J's music video for his new single, the Kim Kardashian revenge song "Hit It First," was released today and it's safe to say it's awful. Neither the song nor the video are good. Ray J says the song isn't about Kim... yeah, Ok. The girl in the video has Kim's easily identifiable body, wearing big fake eyelashes and neutral lip gloss, and is posing on a white bed for a homemade sex tape. Really? In case you still think it's not about Kim, there are cutaway shots of a highway sign pointing west to Chicago when Ray J raps about this mystery girl leaving "to go West" (AKA Kanye West!!! He's from Chicago!!!). And he raps all this while wearing a cutoff denim vest. Yeah, that'll make her want you back. Because who would choose multimillionaire, well-connected rapper Kanye West when you've got denim-vested Ray J? Let's end this right here. Note to all musicians: if you're going to write a revenge song, make it a good one, and if you're going to shoot a revenge music video, make it an interesting one and not you plus another guy rapping about all the game you have -- all the while standing in front of a private jet alone with each other and a hologram of your ex-girlfriend. If you need to follow by example, here are 6 great revenge songs with even better music videos.

Engraving was wrong, but I was sent a correctly engraved chiller immediately. A really nice looking gift.
It's a very nice product, but the engraving was wrong. IWA was very helpful in assisting me to get the item replaced as ordered.
The item is very nice. The only downfall is the engraver can not follow directions. He/she mis-spelled the last name we asked for. I assume they will correct the mistake and send a new chiller.

A man was recovering Thursday from three stab wounds inflicted during a group fight in Hollywood, police told Patch.
The melee among a "handful" of people occurred shortly after midnight Thursday on Hollywood Boulevard near Bronson Avenue, LAPD Lt. Marc Reina said.
Police in the area spotted a group fight, the lieutenant said, but when they approached the group, the scrap was just ending.
Police walked up to one man, who then realized he had been stabbed; he pointed out a suspect, Reina said.
The suspect ran off but was chased and quickly caught, Reina told Patch.
The 19-year-old suspect, was taken to a station for questioning and the 18-year-old victim was taken to a hospital, where he was expected to recover, police said.
Reina told Patch that the weapon used appeared to be a makeshift knife.
A motive for the stabbing was under investigation.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- It is the kind of high paying jobs economic development leaders like to announce -- jobs that pay well.
CompuCom currently has 150 workers at its tech center located on Lynn Station Road in Eastern Jefferson County. But the high-tech company is planning to more than double that number by next year.
The Texas-based company has operated its tech center in Louisville since 2008.
CompuCom provides information technology services to companies around the globe.
This year it has plans to add one hundred new jobs at the Louisville operation and then another hundred jobs in 2014.
"We've been here for some time now," says Tony Doye, the divisional CEO of CompuCom, "and we have been very pleased with the level of skills and the access to skills we have in this area."
These new jobs are the kind the city likes to attract. "I love these jobs," says Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, "because they are highly skilled jobs, they are well paying jobs, they are technical jobs." Job growth is underway in the region.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 18,000 new jobs have been added during the past year in the Metro Louisville area, a 2.9 % increase.
The demand for information technology services is on the upswing again following the recession. "We are seeing companies spending a little more on capital expenditures," says Doye, "and on IT services so that bodes well for the future I think."
Attracting good jobs is very competitive among cities and it keeps economic development leaders on the go. "We are going abroad, we are making pitches to businesses," says the chief executive officer of Greater Louisville, Inc., the regional chamber of commerce. "We are doing a very focused targeted industry approach to make sure we are capturing the type of companies that have the ability to expand and relocate to the Louisville area."
CompuCom has a web site where you can go to learn more about the new jobs in Louisville. Go to www.compucom.com.

Review: Samsung's Galaxy Note II gets bigger and better
Samsung has paid close attention to usability, while also boosting the browser and VPNFollow @MobileGalen
I had very mixed feelings about the original Galaxy Note, Samsung's "phablet" tablet/smartphone tweener, when I tested it last February. It was a bit large for one-handed use, and its apps didn't take advantage of the large screen. In fact, the apps "optimized" for the large screen were harder to use than the stock versions they replaced. But the Galaxy Note had several intriguing innovations, including its pen input.
It's clear my misigivings were not widely shared: The Note has been a smash hit for Samsung. Now Samsung has an even larger version, the Note II. The good news is that the Note II runs the latest version of Android, 4.1 "Jelly Bean." The original Note ran the outdated Android 2.3 "Gingerbread," even though the modern 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" had been released a couple months earlier.
[ If the Note II is too big for you, see who wins InfoWorld's face-off between the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S III. And if the Note II isn't big enough, see which small tablet InfoWorld recommends in our hands-on review of the iPad Mini, Google Nexus 7, and Kindle Fire HD. | Get expert advice about planning and implementing your BYOD strategy with InfoWorld's "Mobile and BYOD Deep Dive" PDF special report. ]
Bigger and beefier hardware
If you want a big screen, the Note II offers 5.5 inches, measured diagonally, versus the original Note's 5.3 inches. It's also about a quarter-inch deeper and about 1/16-inch narrower than the original Note. It'll fit in your pants or jacket pocket or a purse. In a shirt pocket, expect it to poke out precariously -- just waiting to drop.
Like the original Note, the Note II supports LTE and 3G networks. In the United States, it's now available for Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular, with availability planned for AT&T and Verizon Wireless later this year. It's available in other countries and on a variety of carriers.
It also supports Bluetooth, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, near-field communications (NFC), and Wi-Fi Direct -- the whole cornucopia of radio connections. Bluetooth is now the power-sipping 4.0 version, and the Wi-Fi radio adds 5GHz spectrum support, which offers better speed and increased range.
As you'd expect, the CPU is faster (1.6GHz quad-core versus 1.4GHz dual-core), and the Note II feels more responsive as a result. Ironically, the resolution of its Super AMOLED display is actually a bit lower: 1,280 by 720 (larger) pixels versus the original Note's 1,280 by 800 pixels. The Note II has 16GB of internal storage and a MicroSD slot that can accept up to 64GB more. But its battery life is only adequate, running out of juice after about 10 to 12 hours of use -- faster than an iPhone.

Postcard From: The Netherlands
Postcard From: The Netherlands
This month's postcard comes from the beautiful and stylish Floortje van Cooten, a Netherlander who's incapable of taking a bad photo (seriously, girl knows how to work it). On her personal fashion blog, Floortje Loves, the 18-year-old showcases her impeccable taste in clothes and treats readers to fun DIY projects like making a snazzy, glitter-lined transparent clutch out of a VHS box. Van Cooten recently escaped the chill of Holland for a dream vacation in Malaysia that will make you want to book the next flight out. Illustrated by Matt Huynh
FROM: Floortje van Cooten
TO: Aritzia
SUBJECT: Holiday in Malaysia
LISTENING TO: "Summer Paradise"—Simple Plan ft. Sean Paul
Hey girls! I write to you from Holland, where it's very cold, grey, and snowing. It's like a winter wonderland when I look outside my
window. But while I may be sitting in my room (in the small village of Lienden, where I live), studying hard to get my fashion business
diploma this summer and busy updating my blog, Floortje Loves, my heart is in Malaysia. I just returned from a two-week trip and, oh dear,
there is so much I need to tell you!
Let's start at the beginning, shall we? My mom and dad have been married for 20 years and to celebrate, they wanted to make a trip along with
me and my younger brother. We wanted somewhere warm with lots of sun—basically the opposite of the Netherlands right now!—and after
getting lots of advice from friends, we finally decided to go to Malaysia. We started our holiday in Kuala Lumpur—the Manhattan of Malaysia.
It has some of the biggest shopping malls I've ever seen! So…we did lots of shopping, of course. I got two lovely dresses, one for the summer
made of linen with colourful beads on it, and another more appropriate for winter that's dark brown with beautiful golden beads. But we did much
more than just shop: We visited Chinatown, Hindu temples, a pasar malam (night market), the Petronas Twin Towers, and we had dinner on
Christmas Eve at the KL Tower where we had a beautiful view of the whole city. The restaurant at the top of the tower moves in a clockwise
rotation, so you can see everything. All the beautiful lights in the city and the high buildings were so breathtaking. I wore my new dark brown
dress with a pair of neon heels and I did my hair up in a knot—very festive.
Our next stop was the Cameron Highlands, where we visited a tea plantation. I've never seen so much green! There were small shrubs all
over the place and it smelled so fresh—it was like walking into the forest on the first day of spring. We drank our fair share of tea and my
favourite was the mandarin peppermint blend. We also took a jungle trek to see the spectacular Robinson waterfalls, and it ended up being
quite an adventure because it started pouring and the path was muddy and very small, so we were slipping and sliding all over the place
with our sleek sneakers. But we survived and the next day we headed to Penang, where we decided to do something even more dangerous:
parasailing! Have you ever done it? I was a bit scared, but when I finally got in the air (about 50 meters up!), all of my fear washed away and
I could just enjoy the beautiful view. After just four blissful minutes, I was back on the ground. That afternoon we had a barbecue on Monkey
Beach—it's called that because there are literally monkeys everywhere! They were very cheeky, jumping all over the place and stealing food
from everyone they could.
Before we knew it was New Year's Eve and the hotel had organized a big party on the beach for the guests. The theme was the '70s and I
dressed the part in a black fringe skirt with a metallic peplum top and neon heels. Everyone was dancing to a lot of old disco music like "YMCA"
by The Village People. I met a lot of people from all over the world and they were all so friendly. Just before midnight, we filled our glasses with
champagne and counted down to the New Year under a clear night sky filled with stars.
We finished out our trip in Langkawi, the most beautiful place I've ever been. The sand on the beach was stark white. We had great weather,
except for the day when we went fishing out on the open sea. But despite Mother Nature's force, my father caught two huge barracudas.... we
had one of them for dinner and it tasted delicious! The last two days, we lounged by the pool, worked on our tans, and let any remaining bits of
stress melt away.
But now I'm back at it. And though part of me wishes I were still relaxing on the beach, there's plenty coming up here that I'm excited about.
Of course I have a lot to share on the blog—beginning with all the photos from my trip! (Every time I look back at them I get butterflies in my
stomach!) Then I have tons of new outfits I want to feature, but I'm waiting for the weather to get better so my brother and I can go out and do
some photo shoots. My brother is my cameraman, and I'm so lucky because he takes great photos and we always have a fun time together. I'm
also working on some new DIY fashion projects and a few new beauty posts—I got lots of inspiration from our journey! But, most importantly,
I need to focus on school and my exams, and I have to line up an internship with a fashion company…. I'm getting tired just thinking about
everything I need to do! I think I need another vacation!
Lots of love from cold and white Holland,
