Saving the World's Most Endangered Sea Turtle
Stranded on Cape Cod beaches, these Kemp's ridley turtles are getting a helping hand from volunteers and researchers
- By Amy Sutherland
- Photographs by Herb Swanson
- Smithsonian magazine, May 2010, Subscribe
Cape Cod Bay churns as a frigid gust flicks froth into the air and the surf claws at the beach. I find a tangle of black seaweed on the sand, lift a handful of the wet mess and glimpse the lines of a shell. I grab more seaweed and uncover what I've been searching for: a Kemp's ridley turtle, a member of the world's most endangered species of sea turtle.
It's a long way from the beach in Mexico where the turtles almost certainly hatched. It's so still I doubt it's alive. I pull off my gloves, lift the animal by its foot-wide shell and trot down the beach, holding it in front of me like a priceless porcelain vase. The turtle slowly raises its plum-size head and pops open its small eyes. One flipper flutters, then another. The turtle begins to paddle in the air, as if swimming. I sprint to my car.
Sea turtles already crowd the foyer when I arrive at the Massachusetts Audubon Society's nature center in Wellfleet. People hustle to put each animal on a clean towel in a cardboard box that once held bananas. Here and there a flipper waves, but most of the turtles are motionless. One exhales raspily. Volunteers plucked six turtles off beaches this morning and seven last night. Two are green turtles and the rest are Kemp's ridleys. "I doubt there is a room in the world right now that has this," says Dennis Murley, a naturalist at the center.
Each fall, typically by late October, Kemp's ridleys and other sea turtles start washing up on the 50-mile-long shoreline along Cape Cod Bay between Sandy Neck and Provincetown. The turtles, almost all juveniles, are thought to follow warm summer currents north to Maine or beyond; then, as fall approaches, they head south before inadvertently swimming into the bay formed by the great crooked cape. As the water temperature drops, so does the coldblooded animal's body temperature, until the turtle sinks into a deep torpor, too weak to find its way out of the bay. Turtles do occasionally wash up on other beaches along the East Coast, but only on Cape Cod are substantial numbers found every year.
About half of the turtles on the beach are already dead. The others, called cold-stunned turtles, will die of hypothermia if left on the sand, says Murley, because the air is even colder than the water.
He and Bob Prescott, the Audubon center's director, weigh and measure the turtles. Some move frantically; the one I found, whose shell is coated with algae and has been given the number 93, starts doing the crawl stroke again. Prescott touches the motionless ones on the back of their heads or at the corner of their eyes, looking for a reaction that will tell him they're alive. "Sometimes you can't even tell from that," Prescott says. The center keeps any turtle presumed dead for at least 24 hours. Over the years, Murley says, a few of these have revived. "Lazarus turtles," he calls them.
Most Kemp's ridley turtles nest along Mexico's Gulf coast, but some nest in Texas. This is one of only two sea turtle species that lay eggs in mass nesting groups called arribadas. (The other species, the olive ridley, lives in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.) Some young Kemp's ridleys are thought to swim from the Gulf of Mexico to the Sargasso Sea, in the middle of the Atlantic. As they mature, they paddle west toward shallower water along the coast of North America, where they can live for decades. The world's smallest sea turtles, they grow about two feet long.
Vast numbers of Kemp's ridleys once nested simultaneously; in 1947, a beachgoer filmed some 42,000 turtles on a beach in Mexico. Unfortunately for the species, people liked to eat the eggs, which were easy to harvest, and thought they acted as aphrodisiacs. By the 1960s, the turtle population had plummeted. Mexico outlawed the harvest in 1966, but poaching continued to take a toll. Meanwhile, increasingly scarce adults were often caught in fishing gear. In 1985, only 702 turtle nests were found, the lowest number on record. With new, turtle-excluding fishing nets and better protection of their nesting beaches, the species has begun to recover. An estimated 8,000 females nested last year.

I didn't get around to reading this article until June, by which time I could not help but be struck by the irony of investing substantial amounts of effort and money into rehabilitating endangered turtles that would eventually end up swimming and trying to eat and reproduce in the toxic soup that is now the Gulf of Mexico.

The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico looks to be sitting right in the path of the Kemp's ridleys as they go from Mexico out to the Sargasso Sea.

This was an interesting report on a wasteful exercise in futility. There are two inexorable natural laws that apply to all species except mankind: Survival of the fittest and the extinction of species that cannot cope with changes in their environment. The Endangered Species Act is maudlin sentimentality carried to the level of genius, as man himself is one of the endangered. As we consume the nonrenewable resources essential to our civilization the ultimate outcome may eventually be a few hardy survivors scrabbling their existence from the renewable resources with their bare hands as in prehistoric days; only the date is uncertain. I have seen no figures, but I'll guess that there are as many extinct species as extant, and I am quite happy that the dinosaurs, mammoths and sabretooths are no longer with us. Man is the ultimate predator because he is prey only to other men and his needs are exhausting those of the other claimants.
I write this at the risk of assassination by the Sierra Club!

What are the reasons that Kemp's ridley turtles wash up on Cape Cod and not in other beaches?.
Posted by Sheyla Sandoval on May 21,2010 | 11:46 AM
Thank you for telling us about these dedicated caregivers and the progress they are making in conserving sea turtles. The article also made me feel less "odd"! I'm one of those who help turtles cross roads. Once when I had stopped to assist a turtle another motorist thought I, personally, needed help and so he stopped. When I started to run to avoid traffic, he ran, too. Seeing him running after me, a state trooper concluded I was being chased and he, too, stopped. When I sheepishly explained I was just trying to help the turtle, he laughed and said he always worried about them, too. Many people care about the turtles!
PS Remember that great car commercial where the couple helped the sea turtle?

Concerning your article, "Coldblooded Rescue":
All life forms live because of their ability to adapt to their environment, i.e., fit enough to survive. We humans are an integral part of the environment of sea turtles. This article reports another case of well-meaning humans adapting the environment to suit the limited survival ability of the turtles. As the turtles continue to breed, the same penchant for getting stuck in the cape will expand. In simpler terms, these people are making the adaptability - hence the survivability - of these sea turtles dependent on them. What will happen to them in 20, 50, 100 years? It appears that not all migrating turtles get stuck there. Perhaps they have learned to avoid the cape; their offspring will "survive." Are these people helping or hurting the species?? We need to appreciate Darwin's message a bit more.
Many kudos to your excellent magazine.

I am totally worried about those banana boxes.
THEY USED TO BE TREATED WITH CHEMICALS to prevent importing pests with the product. There may be treated inserts now, like grape boxes have. Even after removal of the inserts, the boxes could have residuals that might be harmful to weakened survivors.

Terrific article, but I'm unhappy that my paper issue this month was so badly put together that some stories (like this one) had repeated beginnings (duplicated pages), and NO END, so I was unable to finish reading this story in the actual magazine. Thank goodness it's available online!

Terrific article about the dramatic rescue and rehab of the endangered Kemp's ridleys. The video made me cry to see these magnificent little animals on their way back to the wild, healthy and whole.

Energy and water. Water and energy. Both are critical to human development, and both are strongly interrelated.
With few exceptions, water is necessary to generate and distribute energy. In turn, water can't be collected, purified and transported without energy. A term has even been coined to describe the relationship: the Energy-Water Nexus.
For a company like ours, operating a network of 27 biorefineries with the capacity to annually produce 1.6 billion gallons of ethanol, strategic thinking about water is a necessity. We spend a lot of time thinking about how we use water and where it comes from. More specifically, we focus on conserving water by using less and drawing it from alternative sources.
An ethanol biorefinery needs water primarily for three things: to create the aqueous environment necessary for fermentation, to generate steam in the boilers and to subsequently cool the process systems by removing heat. The perception exists that it takes a lot of water to make ethanol, and at one time that was true. In 1988, our first year of operation, our biorefinery required 18 gallons of water for every gallon of ethanol produced.
But at that time, the industry was in its infancy, technology was unreliable and virtually no ethanol plants were operating profitably. Significant gains had been made by 2009; so that same gallon of ethanol produced in one of our facilities required just over three gallons of water.
How did we do it? How were we able to decrease our water use by more than 80 percent? It was through a sustained focus on both the efficiency of the entire ethanol production process and the specific issues related to water use.
Efficiency improvements in the overall process have contributed significantly to the decrease in water use. In many cases, sustainability can involve trade-offs. But in the case of the Energy-Water Nexus, a decrease in energy use often leads to a corresponding decrease in water use and vice versa.
In our case, the development of a "no-cook" fermentation process decreased our energy use by 10-15 percent and meant that less water was needed to cool the biorefinery. But that's just one of many examples. When you add them all up, we've cut the energy it takes to produce a gallon of ethanol approximately in half since 1988, which has led to cuts in the amount of water needed for cooling by a roughly equivalent percentage.
Gains have also come from focusing specifically on water. Water use is benchmarked across our biorefineries and receives as much attention as production rates. All of the water used in the fermentation process is recycled and we have been able to significantly reduce water use through process optimizations and technology improvements.
In addition to decreasing the volume of water used, our biorefineries also seek out alternative sources of water. For example, nearly all of the water to operate one biorefinery comes from the retention ponds of a nearby power plant. Another draws all of its water from an adjacent quarry that discharges it as part of its normal dewatering process. Yet another gets a third of its water from a local wastewater treatment facility. Last year, one of our biorefineries was able to save almost 16 million gallons when it started using water collected onsite in stormwater retention ponds.
Our belief in the importance of water conservation led us to make further reductions in water use through the first goal of our sustainability initiative, Ingreenuity, which we launched in 2009. That goal is to decrease overall water use by a further 23 percent from 2009 levels by 2014 so that our facilities would average less than 2.5 gallons of water per gallon of ethanol produced.
The goal was ambitious, but our engineers have us on the right track. They came up with a patent-pending process called "Total Water Recovery" that recycles water streams that were previously discharged. That process has now been installed in 18 of our biorefineries and plans are in place to deploy it in all but two of the remaining nine.
Thanks to Total Water Recovery, we used approximately 2.76 gallons of water per gallon of ethanol produced last year and in 2012 we project that it will decrease to 2.61. That would represent a water savings of 805 million gallons from where we were in 2009. If we achieve our full goal, that would save about one billion gallons of water each and every year.
The Energy-Water Nexus is a real phenomenon and being aware of it can help make sure that, as we transition to renewable sources of energy, we're not solving one problem while creating another.

The protein shakes and the gym membership.
I obviously know that now, but who has time for that? To never stop? Blegh.
The weight goes bye-bye. I've lost everything I had gained about 2 months after I stopped. Decided to stay a 70-something.

@ Wisp. Dude, just be careful, that is all. Whatever you do, don't abuse it, and I would recommend getting off it as quickly as is feasible.
That **** is addictive, my friends mom takes two diet caps every morning just to give her a bit of pep for her day. I went through a stage in my drug days where I was taking a couple caps a day. I think that was probably one of the most mentally and physically destructive drugs I have ever taken - I started losing the plot proper. Started getting paranoid, losing touch with reality, and my brain went to **** (you think that **** makes you focus, it doesn't, it makes you freaking ADD is what.) Eventually I started getting paralysing... I don't know what... like electric shocks up the back of my neck and and head after the one time I went ridiculously overboard and partied so hard that I became completely dehydrated and had what I can only describe as a heat stroke (I say that because I've had a heat stroke before, and this was a similar feeling). Of course i was abusing the stuff, but my point is that it's a drug - a pretty hard core one at that, so if you value your health don't abuse it. Ever seen the movie Requiem for a Dream? The old lady who starts losing her mind? Those were diet pills.
The GOMAD diet is very tempting, but I don't want to do anything that will be unhealthy for me. I just thought that if it's safe (I can live with some of the side effects for a month or two) and affordable, then why not? I'm 1.7m tall and weigh 58kg - I don't mind a bit of fat. However, there are other healthier ways of getting the same results (maybe even better, since it would be all lean muscle gain) it will just take more time for me to be able to get myself to a point where I can
A) Get more food in my stomach
B) Afford more food to put in my stomach.
I find that I have a day where I simply can't eat enough; no matter how full I get I start feeling hungry again within 30 mins; and then the next day I have to force myself to get a sandwiche down. The people I rent from have been awesome, and have been instrumental in helping me put together a good diet, but they have also asked me to pay a bit more because I'm eating a lot more fruit, peanut butter, and avoes (yum!). I've also got protein shake, but I only use it pre and post workout. I simply can't afford to take it 5 times a day as is recommended for a hard-gainer like myself.
I'm not losing hope, by any means. I am focusing on the positive gains that I have made in muscle and strength, and I'm not losing sight of the fact that this is a long term lifestyle choice I have made - to be fit and strong and live a long healthy life. That is a life time worth of gyming, not just a few months.

Two words: Low GI (ok one word and an abbreviation).
EDIT: Also, a regular sleep pattern as well as a small breakfast helps me get a nice fat appetite for the day. I don't generally eat in the morning (I struggle getting food down as soon as I wake up) but even if I force myself to eat two or three fruits I have a monster of an appetite by lunchtime. They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I can see why.

i know it is very additive thats why you can only be on Duro short a short period of time (they are Schedule 5), i have one more script to fill and thats it, i will only be on them for 2 months , they say no more than 3 but i wont need them after 2 besides if i eat the foods that i am eating now and look after my diet i wount have to go through this again ...as i say desperate times call for desperate measures it this was not desicion taken lightly a did a lot of research into this whole thing before i tried them , the tablets lay in drawer for nearly a month before i made the desicion to start them ...end september i will be off them promise
as for it supposed to be like speed my doctor says thats not true ...hope shes right :D
Hi. Um is there any way to lose a lot of weight and keep it off. I've tried multiple diets and eating plans but I end up putting more weight on and not losing any. There is two that I've thought about, either diet pills from a medical personal, but that will be doubtful due to my age. The second is a diet that is suposed to reset the body metabalism, and I've heard that it works but in my current situation it will not be feasable at the moment. Is there anything that you guys and girls can suggest that could help?
What motivates you guys to stay in shape? I can't go for more than a month.
I also struggle to keep going. I normally gym for about a month, including all the healthy eating but then for some reason, I don't continue and then I just put back all the weight. I know that I am currently on the heavy side, which I do not want to be but I'm going to do two months of intense cardio.
My main problem is loosing weight. I don't want to do weights now but I am doing the circuit once a week. I have not gone through this entire thread because I do not have the time now but I will do it later on. I use to gym with a buddy of mine but then he canceled his gym membership so that is one of the reasons that I stopped as well. o_0
Edit: I have started yesterday with the cardio for about 90 minutes a day.
Anybody from Stellenbosch know what the hell happened to the Virgin Active that was going to open there? Me and my friends have been planning to sign up all year, but when we went over to actually go do it, no gym to be seen. Even said there was going to be one there on their website. :?
Looking in the mirror one day and realising 'nobody is going to **** me with a beer gut like that.' :(
The thing is, you should not do it for somebody else. You should do it for yourself. Because if you do it for a girl, when you get her, what happens then? You start to loose track because you have her already and then you end up the way you looked before.
Trust me, I've been through that. Did it for an ex and we where together for over 3 years. You should do it because YOU want to. Not for any other reason.

Competition is nice though. Like my one friend had an SA sports star as his gf and it did him wonders to stay fit and so on.
Get a friend to join you. Working alone soon seems boring.
Also, set a weight goal. For me, I have to pick up at least 12kg to come close to my goal. Maybe you have to lose 12kg. Weigh yourself every two weeks, and if you start straying, get working.
I think "nobody's going to **** me with these skinny arms". And then I go play DotA.
I'm a bit bummed. I have been getting strong with my squats and I was confident I had good form - I had my mate record me the last couple times I did it so I could check. So last night I felt like I needed to add more weight. I added 10kg - bringing the total to 30kg - and I did 12 reps no sweat. So on my second set I decided to add another 10kg, did 12 reps with a little bit more strain, but my mate said my form looked good and I wasn't experiencing any pain at all so I was happy that I was able to do it, and I was finally actually working my legs a bit. I was even thinking that I will add more in my next gym session. Then, on my third and final set I got up to 8 reps when my knee suddenly started making a clicking noise. I can't understand it, nothing flet different, I still felt strong and I wasn't experiencing any pain - but I decided to err on the side of caution and call it quits. An hour or so after my gym session I started feeling a mild pain in the knee that was clicking. What the hell is going wrong? I don't get it. It's the same as with my shoulder. I've been following exercise instructions from Bodybuilding.com to the letter, and like I say I've been doing this for 5 weeks now, making sure that I don't go too heavy and get my form right before adding more weight.
Eish dude. Yeah you still have to look at your form. If you keep your head up your back will be straight. Yeah I could let my butt nearly touch the floor with 120kg but that was after 2 years of squating. You won't have that deep range of motion yet. Only squat intill you upper thigh is parallel to the floor not lower. Same applies to any joint, your range of motion will improve over time.
Really wish i could do all the necessary excerises as well as my diet , it might speed things up ...will just stick to wieghts
BTW Toi u mail box is full :)
I don't do supplements anymore, I just eat more fish and veggies. I've settled back into gym life nicely. but then, I never had a problem with going to the gym. I have a good friend who doubles as a gym buddy. I never really ate right and gym'd right, now I'm doing both, and I can see the huge difference when I'm at the gym. More energy, faster gain, so on.
Also, when doing weights, be carefull bending more than 90 degrees. You don't want to put too much strain on your joints when you're starting. Hell, even after doing it for a while. Technique is super important. Don't be sucked into the pointless :'how much do you bench' questions. It doesn't matter. People go to the gym for many different reasons. Some go to gain weight, some to lose, some for fitness. Know why you are there, it doesn't matter what the guy next to you is doing.

I believe the author has it wrong about factory jobs, or most jobs. The jobs still exist, they have just been moved to China. And the steel, not iron, comes in one door and the product goes out the other. How it does it has changed, that is happens has not.
Yet, his conclusion is still accurate. With the exception that a lot of people don't have bull shit jobs, they have no job at all, or partial employment.
Either way, the social disaster is going to be the same unless some way is found to balance out the scales. No matter how much the machines produce, if the people can't afford it the system collapses.
So, yes, we do have a problem that needs to be solved.

temporary employment
The latest news on temporary employment
Contract work and legal outsourcing are growing as salaries in private practice fall sharply.
The U.S. has the most creative imagination and flexibility, but unemployment is wasting our potential.
Make yourself indispensable in a short amount of time.
Parents should encourage their teens to start searching for summer positions now.
The growth in temporary help jobs is to be expected of any economic recovery.
Staying open to contract work could position you for your next great gig.
Since the end of the recession, 54 percent of new jobs created have been temp work.
Since June 2009, women have lost 117,000 jobs, while men have gained more than 1.1 million.
In September, the number of underemployed workers rose for the third consecutive month.
In August, the economy had essentially the same number of jobs as it had in January 2000.

Craftsman Restaurant
Online Reservations
I've eaten here and introduced the restaurant to friends several times, and I and everyone I've taken there love it.
Nice variety in the menu and the moderately-sized and sensibly-priced wine list.
i made a reservation for my husbands 40th bday. dinner was great. marta our waitress was wonderful. her advice to our guests who wanted their steak well done was that the cuts are lean and she wouldn't recommend anything over medium. my friend who does not want to see blood was very happy. everyone who got steak was loving it. beet cosmopolitan is good if you like beets! thyme lemonade cocktail - yum
Everything on the menu sounds delicious. Service was friendly, though an iced tea refill was very long in coming. Food was good but not memorable. The trellised outdoor seating area is pretty charming.
This was my second visit to Craftsman and I'll be sure to come back next time I'm in town. I sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful patio and a fabulous dish of polenta and vegetables with a honey gastrique.
The food at The Craftsman is fantastic. Terrific flavor paired with quality ingredients. The ambiance is nothing spectacular, and it is not a romantic spot, but it's a good, casual spot with excellent food.
This is our go-to place when we want great cocktails and interesting food. The charcuterie plate is a must!
Our second trip to The Craftsman, just as wonderful as the first. We enjoyed the satisfying and diverse charcuterie plate, then a perfectly cooked hangar steak with crisp fries, and the most delicious freshly made fettucine with summer veggies in a light sauce. Staff was happy to let us slowly linger over our meal while enjoying drinks - and they have a very solid and well-chosen beer and wine list, with some fantastic hand-crafted cocktail options. Love the beautiful outdoor patio in the summer, but the atmosphere inside is just as intimate. A true neighborhood gem, and yet a definate destination restaurant for those of us who don't live next door!
Craftsman never disappoints. The cocktails are lovely--especially the beet cosmo! Appetizers and entrees are delicious, and well-portioned. Beautiful patio for warmer days.
This is hands downs my favorite restaurant in Minneapolis which is saying something since I used to live in the food Mecca of Las Vegas. This restaurant is a neighborhood gem, intimate and inviting and specializing in farm to table food with it's seasonal menu. This time around, I had the potato gnocchi with smoked chicken, green beans, spring garlic and creme fraiche which was delicious and the mouthwatering bread pudding which never disappoints. I've never had bread pudding anywhere else that even came close, probably because the Craftman's version is unlike any other bread pudding you've ever eaten. Made with brioche and toasted with a house made jam it is absolutely to die for and a great way to end the meal.
I love this restaurant. Service is always great, food exceptional, and it's close to home making it an easy drive for dining for a special occasion. The hangar steak with fries and Bernaise sauce is my favorite. This is one of those special, local restaurants that you want to visit again and again.
Well prepared food without the fuss. Tasty with excellent service and lovely surrounds. Try the beet Cosmo!
Just Great, pretty much sums up Craftsman. Good food, friendly service, an approachable wine list and a comfortable feel. We were there on a nice night and for the first time tried the patio. A nice spot, reminded me of patio dining in the wine country in California. The only drawback to the patio were the extremely hard latticed, iron chairs. Cushions would be a good idea. Beyond bringing a cushion the next time I enjoyed eating outdoors.
Great food, good service. Portion sizes very. Burgers, steaks good sized and come with a huge portion of fries. In comparison the portion for the more expensive potato gnocchi seemed tiny. Patio looked great but one person in our party wanted to stay inside out of the heat, so maybe we'll return to try out the patio.
We stopped in with the hope of having a small celebratory dinner over the coming of our first baby. The service was great. Our server didn't charge us for one of the drinks... Last time, it was my husband's birthday and they didn't charge for his drink either. It feels really nice to have a restaurant "celebrate" with you in these critical times! The food was excellent--as well.
Basically, this is the restaurant that we have trouble NOT going to. We love it so much, for a dinner out and for celebrations. The food is wonderful--so fresh and well-prepared and not overdone. The staff is welcoming, delightful, not cloying. They feel more like hosts rather than servers. The whole experience is lovely and it's hard to imagine a better one, even at more upscale restaurants. And at the same time, it's hard to settle for less-expensive restaurants, because it's almost not worth it in comparison to our meals at Craftsman.
Have eaten there twice now and both times had some of the best food I have ever eaten. Brought my foodie brother here for this most recent visit and he was also very impressed. Patio is lovely during nice weather. Service is very good as well.
We enjoyed our dinner thoroughly. The gnocchi and the herring special are both highly recommended. Service was great as well, appropriately attentive and never rushed. A great way to spend an evening. If the weather is nice, the patio is lovely. The cocktails are also recommended.
We had made reservations (anniversary). We were seated promptly by the window, and service was quick and attentive (but not intrusive). The food was really good (micro green salads, carbonara and duck confit, and chocolate torte and a fruit crisp) - it was obvious that it was made with great skill and with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend to friends and family for a special occasion, a date night, or just because.
Hello, I recently took my parents to Craftsman for their 42nd wedding anniversary dinner. They are both from small town Minnesota and are "meat and potato" people. I wanted to give them a good dining experience that wasn't pretentious and somewhere they could feel comfortable! They absolutely loved it, as did I! Our server was Marta. She was a doll! The food was fantastic, the apps, entrees and drinks were great. My parents thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and we will all be back and refer others.
This was a good choice for our anniversary. The food was excellent. The chef here knows duck. There was a fantastic smoked duck on the charcuterie plate and a notable pâté. The confit of duck leg for an entre was amazing. Good local vegetables with everything.
On a scale of one to ten.....everything was a ten! No, wait....the apple crisp with salted carmel ice cream was a 15.
Excellent Foof! Excellent Servce. Great Ambiance! Will return!
We had a birthday get-together for six. It was just after Labor Day on a week night. Was not crowded so the service was good and food was great. We had six different main entries and no complaints! There is something for everyone.
My partner and I enjoyed a great birthday meal at Craftsman. The service was excellent. The food was diverse and delicious. We enjoyed the steak and the potato gnocchi. The beet cosmo was my favorite part!
I loved our experience at the Craftsman! The food was wonderful; everyone in our group ordered something different, so we were all able to 'taste' and see several dishes, and we all agreed everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend this restaurant; the outdoor garden is adorable and cozy! I didn't even realize that they had a garden. I loved the vibe, the décor and the lighting in the dining room. This place is a real find in this neighborhood. I would definitely recommend the Craftsman!!!
Craftsman is a wonderful place. It never fails you.
This is a great Sunday morning spot. The menu is great and everything is done so nicely.
Recommended by a good friend, ended up being more than we expected. Decor was excellent, very intimate. Had some unusual menu items but also offered hamburgers. We had the Sturgeon and the pork chop. Both were large portions and excellent. Would definitely go back again!
Do fewer things and do them extremely well. That seems to be the theme and this place rocks. Love the food, love the decor and the service is great.
Love the indoor and outdoor seating options, including the cozy bar. Their waitstaff is friendly and knowledgable and they know how to pace a dinner. Their menu is the right length and offers plenty of delicious entrees. On this last visit I enjoyed the streak with just picked mixed greens. And they make a mean martini! This is a true neighborhood gem - check it out
My wife and I had been driving past the Craftsman on Lake Street for years, always saying - "we should go there," but never getting there. Being neither in St Paul nor DT Minneapolis, sometimes this neighborhood suffers from out of sight/mind. Until last Friday night. With the weather still nice enough to eat outside, we sat under plants and had a wonderful meal. The pate and the rabbit on the charcuterie plate were delightful, and for entries we went wtih the rainbow trout and flank steak. None of the dishes tried too hard to re-invent the food, each was simply prepared in a way that highlighted the ingredients wonderfully. Add in a decent beer list, friendly waitstaff, and we will definitely be back.
This was a delightful "find" for us. The walleye was excellent!
Reservations easy; food was great for the casual meal we wanted. It also would have been even more wonderful if we came lataer and were hungrier! Service fine. Have been there a few times--some waitresses vibrant and interactive, others more "I'm here and what would you like". Candles put out on empty tables (outside) before the ones where we were sitting. would have like the candlelight
Physically, The Craftsman has great charm with its elegant brick exterior, high ceilings and gorgeous garden patio seating. The food was on point from the delicious micro green salad appetizer to the succulent smoked chicken pasta. The turkey burger was phenomenal--probably the best I ever tasted. What set it apart was how juicy and flavorful the turkey patty was--perfectly cooked and perfect along with the chive aioli and greens. The old fashioned was worth the craft cocktail price tag and the coffee was good too. The service was more than adequate with no hiccups of which to speak. The server checked with the cook on a replacing the butter in the pasta dish with oil and the request was handled efficiently.
Craftsman's Lake Street (busy!) location belies its tranquility, with its restful arts & crafts interior. Main courses are few in number, great in variety, encompassing fish, fowl, meat and vegetarian. We had a delicious walleye with fingerlings, a pork chop (closer to loin) with reduction and buttermilk mashed potatoes, an imaginative salad based on watercress, and a Duxoup gamay noir (the wine list is nicely varied in ranges of prices and varieties. Service is friendly, helpful and attentive. Even the passing of a small troupe of motorcyclists couldn't shatter the calm!
I love their cocktails. The food is fabulous. You have a sense that everything is running exactly as it should. This is my favorite restaurant.
This is our "go to" restaurant for special occasions. As always, food was excellent, service was quite good. My favorite is the grass-fed beef hanger steak with fries and bearnaise sauce. I do wish they would serve it with a vegetable though. It is the only entree that doesn't come with a vegetable side. Otherwise, another great meal at one of our favorite restaurants.
The Craftsman manages to pull off high-falutin' food in a homey atmosphere. We both enjoyed the unique offerings (Beet Cosmopolitan, homemade charcuterie, duck and pasta entree ... very unexpected -- and very nicely done). We went out to celebrate getting through especially rugged weeks at work, so it was a special treat to not have to fight the bustle of going downtown, paying to park, and so forth -- but still getting having a high-end food experience. Can't wait to try something new next time!
We had a delicious brunch on Sunday, but the server seemed to be frazzled. The food was outstanding...the homemade scone melted in your mouth and had a delicious cranberry jam with it...amazing! The Pork Rillette was fantastic and the fried egg sandwich had a burst of flavor in your mouth! However, since it was brunch, coffee is one of the most important element.s. We had emptied our first round of coffee and our server came to the table 3 separate times without refilling our cups. She kept mentioning she would be right back with coffee, but after about 15-20 minutes, she brought decaf :( Finally nearing the end of the meal fresh regular was poured. Again, the food was wonderful, and that stuck out in our mind more than anything!!
We had the cheese plate and the charcuterie plate for starters and were not disappointed. The array of meat and the serving size was very gratifying and all were quite delicious. For entrees I got the potato gnocci with smoked chicken, roasted cauliflower, chard and orange-sweet pepper chutney. The gnocci were scrumptuous little pillows and the smoked chicken pulled it all together with occasional tart bites of chutney. Sadly, the cauliflower had not been roasted quite long enough - could've been better accomplished sliced thin. My husband had the pasta carbonara with hand-cut fettucine and was very satisfied. Good carbonara is hard to find, but you'll find it here.
Some of my family members came to town and we have never been to Craftsman. It was a wonderful experience! Great drinks, food and service. Thank you. We will return.
Dinner was amazing. Jenean was our server; charming, knowledgeable and paced our meal perfectly! The charcuterie plate was wonderful, loved the duck pate' and the pork rillette. We would eat this as an entrée with some side veggies! The Trout with fingerling taters, spinach and mushrooms was great, a little tricky to eat with bones but sides were amazing. The rabbit leg confit with sweet tater and brussel sprouts was amazing, so tender it just about fell off the bone. We were stuffed after this but I had told them it was my husbands bday – we couldn't possibly eat a dessert but Jenean brought our a sliver of flourless chocolate cake with crème fraiche and a tiny bday candle – it was very sweet and classy! I like small surprises like that!
Great place, have enjoyed it on several occasions.
Wonderful food--trout was delicious as was the gnocchi. Hangar steak never disappoints. Attentive service. The Craftsman is a gem! Highly recommend.
The food was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious! Our server was friendly, fun and knowledgeable offering great recommendations. We can't wait to go back and try more food items as the menu changes.
It was a a very cold night...and, our first time there. The service staff were great. They knew everybody in there did not want to leave -- back into the cold! We will return for sure. Oh, that Angeline wine was find! Thank you! Mark, Lorraine and Noah (our son with a lot of math homework)
It was very, very good, and we are very glad we finally went to the Craftsman. The food was amazing - best Creme Brulee ever!
I made a reservation only a few hours before for a weeknight birthday dinner asking only for a seat with a good view--and got, perhaps, the best seat in the house! The waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsisive. The mixed drinks were excellent. Even though we simply split a meal, the food and service were spectacular! The presentation of a birthday cake with a single candle attached to the plate in a dab of chocolate was sensational! Couldn't have been nicer! The birthday girl was charmed! Glad to have a such a restaurant 1 1/2 blocks from our house! Thank-you! Craftsman, Indeed!
My wife and I went to Craftsman after a long absence. It may be even better then we remember. I had their delicious Craftsman Manhattan, then we switched to Argyle Brut Sparkling wine which was delightful. My wife ordered the soup of the day to start, which was a Cream of Cauliflower., and I had the Charcuterie, which as usual, had several very tasty items, including outstanding duck liver pate, venison chorizo, rabbit terrine, and cured duck breast. Then, my wife had the gnocchi and I had the roasted Steelhead with sauteed sunchokes in a chervil beurre blanc. Both were terrific, and the Argyle sparkling went well with both. We finished up with their beignets and a side of Salted Caramel ice cream (from Izzy's). What a birthday!

Stats. ALOT of stats. plus a slow to both attackspeed and movespeed. Pity this item doesn't work on bounces. But it DOES work on moon beam. Get this by disassembling frostburn if you'd like.

IMO, there are 2 builds for MQ. The caster/harrass/ganker one with moon beam and the farming one. The farming one should focus on aura and stats and get only 2 points into multi-strike since creeps are generally in groups of 3 (not to mention the last 2 bounces are close to nothing in terms of damage). Get an early whispering helm, stack ancients and farm your way to steamboots, frostburn and possibly shrunken head. Very late game, you can split you frostburn into Frostwolf and Geo and upgrade your whispering helm into a symbol of rage.
feedback on the guide??
disagreements? problems?? questions??
Bottle is for runes, and burst regen, but it dispels on damage.
Powersupply is gotten because you already have the two minor totems to make it with. And because it provides burst regen which doesn't dispel on damage.
ionno. you can only get bottle if you want. but psupply alone isn't enough, and getting both is cheap and isn't a hassle.
I'd recommend adding Geometer's Bane to the items list. I like seeing my clones bounce some glaives.
You can choose to forego the whispering helm and go straight to shrunken head now that ancients stacking is limited. Still can be done, just alot less potent than before.
Phaseboots is a perfectly viable boot choice, assuming you went the beamer build and get 2 Bracelets and Shrunken first item.
Thanks for this guide I love playing with moon queen, but even after so many games have not yet figured out the best ways to play her.

Chart House Restaurant - Marina del Rey
Online Reservations
We have enjoyed dining at many different Chart House locations and without failure we are always pleased with the service, choices of entrees, location, etc. We were disheartened to learn this visit that several of the salad bars (that we have always looked forward to) were being discontinued at several locations! Huge disappointment. Also, several of us ordered a fish plate that were served on oblong plates that were lower on the sides and you couldn't put your fork down without them falling off the plate, and many times off the table. Just an annoyance and something that eventually you are aware enough of to place them differently, but, definitely an unnecessary obstacle to enjoying a lovely meal in one of our favorite restaurants.
Restaurant was good and the staff was pleasant & extremely attentive. For the price the portion size could have been a little larger. The cocktails were perfect! Also the lighting was a little off but overall, great time!!!
The food was delicious but the service was extremely slow.
Our third time to this one food, service was excellent
We like the marina chart house with it's quiet neighborhood and window tables overlooking the boats in the marina.
I had a business dinner with a client and my client wanted to go someplace that was quiet with a waterfront view. Being from the MDR area, we settled on the Chart House. Even though Chart House is a chain, they always put out decent food and we were provided outstanding service. It is a steak and seafood house so is a bit pricey, but worth it for the waterfront view, We were surprised that the noise level was so low, we were at least able to hear ourselves talk.
The Chart House restaurant in the Marina in Marina del Rey, California is an enjoyable, relaxing and impressive place to dine! David the Gen. manager will go out of his way to stop by your table and get to know you. The new servers are well-trained by Eric, one of my favorite servers. If you ever have the fortune to be served by Eric you're in for an especially enjoyable experience! The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the servers will make you and your guest feel important and at home! They will not rush you and make you feel like you are sitting at your table longer then you should! I recommend that you join Open Table to book your reservations. Check it out!

Had a wonderful time at chart house with my family. The food is amazing and the environment is very romantic and nice. My only complaint would be that the food took a really long time to come out to us.
The view was beautiful overlooking the marina. Great salad bar, food and service. Its pricey, but well worth it.
My daughter and I had a wonderful dinner here. We loved the food but the people were truly top notch. Made our evening delightful! Loved the view of the marina, too.
the food was great. All of the fish dishes we ordered were excellent. there was a grilled watermelon salad that was really good.
The whole dining experience was very outstanding !! We'll be back.
First time at this CH location. Party of five including very elderly gentleman - valet and hostess were very accommodating as well as warm and welcoming. Our server, Chris, was outstanding and certainly created a pleasant dining experience. We enjoyed several of our CH favorites like Blue Hawaiians, sizzling mushrooms, prime rib, and mud pie - also liked new or seasonal items like crab tater tots and soup sampler.
Excellent menu selections. Prompt, friendly service.
The Chart House is an excellent choice for an excellent fresh seafood or steak entree preceded by a delicious salad bar. The marina view is wonderful and the service is friendly and efficient. My party enjoyed the salads, salmon, mixed grill, and fillet mignon that came before our chocolate lava cake dessert. Everything was tasty and went well with our wine offerings. I recommend Chart House for couples or families seeking very good food in a great location.
The Charthouse in MDR is a go-to restaurant for my husband and I no matter what the occasion. The food and the service are always good and the Marina makes for a lovely venue. It's a great choice for getting together with family and friends.
I was disappointed that the restaurant wasn't closer to the beach. The view of the harbor was nice, but I would have preferred a restaurant on the beach to watch the sunset with the love of my life.
The Chart House table service was great and the food was both delicious and well presented. But, the kitchen staff was very loud. Even though our table was not right beside the kitchen, I was frequently, almost continually distracted by the loud, jovial, perhaps boisterous voices emanating from the kitchen in multiple languages.
To celebrate my mother's birthday, the Chart House was a quiet place to have a nice meal and to be able to enjoy conversation at the table. The only problem was the time it took for our food to be served. It must have been at least an hour! We kept looking towards the kitchen in hopes that we would see our food being brought out.
The fish is fresh and delicious. The crab cakes are awesome and you can't go wrong with any of the appetizers. Not to say the main dishes aren't good (they are) but I prefers loading up on the apps.
The food was delicious and the service was exceptional!
Service was definitely one of the things that stood out the most. It was so refreshing not to have to ask multiple times for refills. Our server was friendly and professional at the same time. The steamed mussels I ordered was among the best I've had. It was a larger plate than I expected which was a nice surprise since most restaurants serve small servings. The other flavorful food we ordered was the prime rib, filet mignon, seared scallops, and lobster. We will definitely be coming back soon!
Everyone in our party (8) enjoyed the food. My king salmon was very good.
Food and service were excellent. The staff was very professional,friendly & courteous.
I've lived in the Marina so many years and had never been to the Chart House because it's off the beaten path down where you only go if you live there or dock a boat. Chart House has beautiful waterfront views. There aren't that many places where you can enjoy drinks and bar eats with a waterfront view. They have a great happy hour and the hours are extensive from 4:30-7:00 during the week. That beats most happy hour hours. The main menu is traditional steak and seafood and is pricey, but very in line for all of the other waterfront restaurants in the Marina. I may become one of the "Cheers-like" regulars at the bar and will be going back on a regular basis.
The Restaurant informed open table that I didn't honor my reservation, even though I did. Upon my earlly arrived to the restaurant (10 min) I referenced my reservationI to the hostess. My party and I were seated momentarily. When open table informed me via email that the restarurant could not confirm my attendance I responded that I did honor my reservation and asked them to get bad to my why the restaurant could not confirm my attendance that evening. Open table has never gotten back with me why the restaurant couldn't confirm my attendance that evening. Both the restaurants and open tables customer service is lacking regarding this matter. Please don't ask for customer responses if your not going to follow through.
The Chart House is an excellent choice for diners seeking very good food, good service, and a terrific view of the marina. Both the steak and fish that were ordered at our table were delicious, as was the salad that we built at the salad bar. The wine list was varied and we enjoyed our selection. It was much appreciated that the waiter noted a birthday celebration while checking id's, and we were presented with a complimentary chocolate lava cake. Nice touch! The restaurant is frequently full so reservations are advised, particularly on weekends.
We usually reserve special evenings for this restaurant, come for the location and view. Never tire of looking at boats and water. Highly recommend.
My husband and I went for dinner to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Shared a very good bottle of Merlot and dinner was excellent. We didn't want dessert, as we were full, but waitress was very kind and brought us a smaller portion of their mud pie with a candle in celebration of our anniversary.
We had a perfect dinner at the Chart House, Marina Del Rey. The food was fantastic, steak was cooked perfectly. The service was also outstanding. Our server was exceptional and made sure everything arrived to our table as ordered. The restaurant was beautiful and we had an enjoyable, relaxing time. The manager even stopped by during our dessert to ask how everything was. Very well run and we will definitely be going back!
I would recommend the Chart House to family and friends. The combination of food, service, and view is a winning combination. Our server (Kris) made excellent recommendations on beverages and appetizers. The experience was very enjoyable.
This was my first visit to the Chart House. We selected this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. The server was amazing. Very warm and charming...and helpful as well selecting the right itesms. We normally don't get a appitizer, but being this was a special occasion, we decided on the crab, shrimp and vegetable fritters. They were the best thing I have ever eatten. The entries were really good, but the the grilled shrimp were overcooked and chewy. Overall, I would recommend this place to all my friends. A bit pricey, but well worth it.
Service was wonderful. And the food is excellent. Great place for a celebratory or romantic dinner.
We tried this place as a last minute "let's go" and it was great. The wait staff was helpful, provided suggestions and overall very attentive. The reservation was fairly late, and we were not rushed, the food was excellent and the poppers you cannot get enough of! Overall great choice, awesome meal, great service.
My wife and I had our 25th wedding anniversary here and we love it so much that we wanted to have our 33rd wedding anniversary last Sunday with our dear friends Thanks for everything The Mask's family
We enjoyed our food, my daughter's birthday was wonderful. Thank you! We will be back soon!
If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Food and service were the best. We had The best clam chowder to start. My wife had the White Sea Bass with Gnocchi and Mushrooms. It was the best Gnocchi I have tasted since I was in Italy 3 months ago. I had the Distinctive Menu for $29.95. With three courses, it was a great bargain. The short ribs were very good. We are going back again tonight. Rosko was our waiter and did a great job.
Has been a long time ago I have been there, but I will be back soon now. Great food!! Outstanding service.
We go to the Chart House in Marina Del Rey very often and have NEVER had a bad experience or meal. The food is amazing, especially the Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi.. The staff is professional, and knowledgeable about the menu. We love this place.
As always for any Landry restaurant, the food was extremely good...plus looking out over the marina...you can't ask for much more than that.
Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Chart House in Marina Del Rey. Nicely decorated and well designed with noise suppression in mind, this restaurant has great views of the marina from every table. The wine list is small, but has enough variety to keep even the pickiest oenophile happy - and won't break the bank. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, with only one issue for one of our group who found that her herb crusted salmon was excessively salty. Overall, we all liked this restaurant.
I had another incredible, memorable, impressive, enjoyable and fun evening at the Marina Del Rey Chart House. My server Eric did an incredible, impressive job of serving my every wish and desire. He treated me like the royalty. It was also impressive that some of the servers that were serving other tables would stop by and say hi. I was very impressed and enjoyed myself immensely. It was a fun experience. Regarding "Open table". I had two issues and they cleared both issues up almost immediately. I was also impressed with the way that Open Table did not question me. I book all of my dining presentations through Open Table and I recommend to anyone reading this that you also give them a try. You will be impressed!
We took our twin sons to the restaurant - it was perfect for the young adult celebration. Received custom menus, great services. This is our second such event at this restaurant and we were very happy both times.
We had to travel this year for thanksgiving and unable to cook. Chart house served a full thanksgiving dinner as well as their regular menu.
I visited the Los Angeles area for Thanksgiving to share it with my son who is in grad school. As he has a bachelor pad with eating and cooking utensils for one, dining out was our option. I am happy we selected Chart House. We arrived slightly earlier than our reservation and had planned to sit at the bar but we were pleased when we were able to be seated before we even got to the bar! The complete turkey dinner was pretty good and the atmosphere was relaxing and conducive to quiet conversation. I was able to spend quality time with my son and not have to worry about trying to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. I believe I will have more Thanksgiving dinners at a nice restaurant such as the Chart House in the future. I would definitely return.
We were disappointed in that we had a 715 reservation but because of a shortage in wait staff, we had to wait in the lounge for over a half hour even though there were many empty tables. When a table was still not available we decided to eat in the lounge rather than wait further. Food and Service are very good but they appear understaffed in regard to waiter/waitresses.
We went to the Charthouse to celebrate my Husbands birthday. Our Server Chris was Over the top EXCELLENT!! He was attentive and friendly. Made it a very special night!
verrrry fine! my favorite place for lobster. don't know if they are open for lunch...my compliments to the bartender lady for my "sidecar", not many know how to make it soooo perfect! my husband loved the clam chowder (so did I when he wasn't looking)
We hadn't been to the Chart House for a few years, but our dinner here on a weeknight was very good. I liked the clam chowder and my shrimp entrée. My wife thought that the prime rib could have been better, but it was still tasty. Very good mud pie and key lime pie for dessert. The prix fix 3 course dinner is a good deal. Our server was excellent. We had a nice table overlooking the marina.
The Chart House is a neighborhood restaurant. It is consistently good. There are many many different choices of fish. Very fresh and can be prepared many different ways. They have an excellent salad bar and make a terrific caesar salad. They also make in my opinion the best tasting broccoli I have ever eaten. And the service and server were spot on. It was a very pleasurable dining experience.

Northwest Indiana residents Paul Schwab and Stephen Warner faced a daunting task in updating what they call their "kooky cabin" in Michiana Shores, a summer resort area built in the 1920s and '30s for well-to-do Chicagoans.
"The house was built by a local craftsman named Josh who never used a plan," Paul says. So a gorgeous fieldstone fireplace was blocked by a staircase, first-floor ceilings soared to 15 feet but upstairs roof-lines were so low the windows touched the floor, and the only access to the porch was through a bathroom.
They embarked on an extensive rehab in 2005 with two goals in mind: bringing the old single-season home up to code and staying true to the neighborhood's architectural style.

"fantastic hotel and attentive staff"
We enjoyed our stay . The food in the restuarant was excellent. Breakfast was 5* Room on floor 4 was excellent overlooking Liffey and the Christmas lights Will stay againTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Fantastic, friendly staff"
We were very impressed with the level of service provided by the staff. They were all very helpful and courteous. We even changed a previously made reservation at a B&B so we could stay at the Jury Inn an additional two nights. The location was also very convenient to the Bus and Train stations, the Airlink to the airport, and to venues in both North […] and South Dublin.

"Poor choice"
We needed to change rooms as the toilet was broken in our original room. Also the walls are paper thin. Choose another hotel!!Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
Woken at 4.30 to constant banging noise it sounded like someone knocking or hammerig nails rang reception and they finally stopped it but I was not offered any compensation for a dreadful nights sleepTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
Everything was excellent from hotel itself to staff could have no complaintsTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good locate for shopping"
THis hotel is ideally situated for shopping and concerts - everything within walking distance. Bar menu could have more choiceTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Close to conference center and bus route. Very nic"
I loved it. The only suggestion I have is to add electrical outlets in the bathroom and by the bed. So many devices now need to be charged for travel. Thanks to all the service people who made this a wonderful stay!Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
It was excellent, except the breakfast was 10.50 which I thought was a little expensive. The mushrooms were steeped in fat, and everything seemed to be cooked in too much oil.. The staff were very friendlyTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Excellent stay"
We had a very nice stay in Jurys Custom House Quay. Quiet and very central, lovely freindly staff, especailly reception, its so nice to be greeted by a smile. We have stayed here before and will certainly stay again.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good location and breakfast"
The hotel was convenient for the city about 10-15 min walk to grafton street. Breakfast had a good selection. One minor gripe the room was very warm.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good for short stay"
Comfortable hotel, good value , clean and friendly staff. Car Parking is a bit on the expensive side and paying for wifi is a definite no no in 2013 , other than that , this is a conveinantly located hotel for events in the Convention Centre or the O2 with good taxi supply,Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Close to O2"
Room was fairly big. The bar in the hotel was packed (due to a Depeche Mode concert at nearby O2) and full of atmosphere despite being ostensibly a functional dining bar space. The location was handy and the staff were very helpful. Only gripe was a bit of noise coming from the lobby outside the elevators on our floor. Apart from that I'd recommend […] it as a place to stay when going to concerts in O2 etc. A few restaurants and other bars nearby make it pretty handy and if you stick to the main streets in the area, I'm sure it's very safe for travellers to walk to and from the main city streets. Would stay again, especially for 69 euro which was room rate. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good service"
On arrival the receptionist was very welcoming and informative about facilities in Hotel. Room was of standard size but very clean and bed extremely comfortable. The bar is undergoing renovations and ithe improvements are modern and classy. The bar staff were friendly and efficient. This hotel is one of my favourites for comfort and service.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Its fine"
The hotel is fine and clean, staff are friendly, the location is quiet, its not too far from everything, 15 min walk to Temple bar. Its nothing special, we just had the standard room which had a view of a carpark out the back, the rooms at the front have a view of the river so request one of those. Breakfast is a buffet and is ok. I think its a pretty […] safe option if the price is comparable to other 3 star places in Dublin (which we found to generally an expensive city for accommodation).

"Excellent as always."
Great place to stay .. Keep your rates down though. You are not a 5 star hotel .. a great hotel for business or short stays. Not a luxury hotel.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Very helpful staff"
Staff were so very helpful , nothing was too much trouble.great breakfast. Only 10 minutes walk from the hotel to 0'Connell street , where the shops were great and the tour buses were easy to pick up. Had a tasty meal in Hard Rock Cafe. Very good location if going to Dublin O2 -within walking distance.Only disappointment was no biscuits supplied in […] the hotel rooms, so take your own.

"Ideal position for ferry port"
Comfortable hotel with adjacent parking at half rate. Ten minute walk to centre. Room had great river view. Helpful reception staff. Good breakfast but evening meal a bit basic. Only grumble is that wi-fi connection is charged.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Perfect for a concert at the o2"
And it's only ten mins from temple bar and grafton st too. Literally 2 min walk from the train station.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Very welcoming, outstanding service"
A great place to stay for the nearby Conference Centre, but what really made it for me was the extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly staff, from reception to the chambermaids. Well done.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Rip off"
Very disappointed that wifi cost 5 euro for an hr or E 10 euro a day . This is the 1st hotel we've had to pay extra for it and could not get less than 1hr rate. Also bar prices were very expensive and no resident bar facilities.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
Loved the location. Stayed there for second time in a week. Loved it both times. So handy for city centre, the O2 and easy access to the south side of the river with the new bridge. Staff really friendly and helpful. Nice airy spacious feel to the place. Lovely breakfast.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"A hotel that nickels and dimes you"
Location is on the far east side of town. There's no free wifi. The room is clean, though.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"great value, great location"
We really enjoyed our stay at Jury's. Had stayed before so knew what to expect. Family room was perfect. Breakfast is really good. great selection. Hotel is very convenient for city sights. Great value for families.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Our stay at Jurys Inn"
A warm and friendly welcome on arrival. Excellent help and advice from young lady of places to see and visit and offered to ring ahead and book a specific attraction. Gave us a map and made everything very clear. Very helpful on departure allowing us to leave our luggage for a few hours - nothing was too much trouble.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Jurys Inn Custom House: Anything BUT Custom!"
I checked into the hotel and when i got to my room, i found the window locking mechanisms to be broken, and there was no airconditioning. The selection of Television to watch was extrememely pooor. Only local stations, no cable or Pay Per View Stations.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Good hotel at a good price"
The hotel is a nice friendly hotel with nice rooms and very comfy beds. It is in a nice part of town with good access to the centre and the airport as well.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Very nice chain hotel"
The hotel was very clean, and looked newly refurbished. It was a bit of a walk into town, but a nice walk along the Liffey. The receptionists were helpful and friendly. There was a reasonable buffet breakfast and a very good shower.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"air con"
room with no temperature control or air conditioning plus virtually no fresh air as the window only opens about 15mm. Very uncomfortable night.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Central Location"
The hotel met our needs as it was close to the bus station and most attractions were within walking distance.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Just the spot!"
The hotel is in a great location for visiting Dublin. It overlooks the river Liffey and puts you right in the heart of this beautiful city. The overall experience was very good, it was clean and comfortable. The staff could not have been more helpful and the restaurant and bar were great.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good place to stay"
I really enjoyed this hotel, the staff are great and know how to deal with Dublin's biggest problem, tourists who have has to much Guinness. The location is perfect just outside of the mayhem of the main attractions but with great views of the Liffey. I would recommend this hotel to anybody and wouldn't hesitate in staying there again.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
We booked a family room and got a free upgrade to a huge room with five beds in it. The toilet leaked a little, but that was the only minus. All in all for the one night we needed it worth the money.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good Stay - Easy Access to Historic Areas"
Overall this was a good stay, hotel easy access to Historic areas of Dublin (Trinity College, Temple Bar area, shopping) and we would recommend a stay here. Our only suggestion would be to get a room facing away from the Liffey River as the road noise continues all night and can be an issue.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Great location but lots of add-on costs"
Great location but having to pay 14.40 per day for parking and also paying for wi-fi was dissapointing, those are usually free at much cheaper hotels. Also difficult to get ice as the hotel had no available ice buckets, needed it for my girlfriend who sprained her hand so had to use pint glasses instead.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Would recommend."
Stayed to get ferry to Holyhead in the morning. Convenient for that purpose but £15 a bit much for the taxi. Comfortable room. Welcoming and helpful staff.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Meets expectations"
Location is great for ifsc/O2 and near to city centre if you don't mind a stroll.. My room was a large corner room, comfy, no issue with noise, clean.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Value for money"
Pleasant but needs more attention to vacuuming under beds.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"RDS visit with a Jurys stop over"
Myself & 2 others were thrilled with our Jury's experience. Great location & with parking in the very nearby IFSC it was just brilliant. Will book it again for next year without a doubt. CatherineTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Spacious Room"
The family room was great. It had three beds. It was hot due to the weather outside, but otherwise clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient to the tourist destinations in Dublin, as well.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
Stayed for 1 night in August 2013 with my son couldn't ask for anymore. Nice clean room ,reasonable price , very friendly helpful staff ,easy walking distance for tourist area and shopping and bus stop outside with route direct to airport . Would stay againTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"fab view down the river liffy"
Very helpful staff, nothing to fault except the traffic noise but that was our own fault as we wanted a room with a view (9yr olds decision) Very reasonably priced will stay again :)Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Lovely hotel"
The hotel was really nice, large well decorated reception area, with a COSTA and bar area to the right... A number of lifts and staircase for customers... Rooms are really tidy, quite spacious, comfy beds and again modernly decored rooms... Location was about a 5-6 minute (slow) walk to the city centre shopping area and bar area and about 10 minute […] walk to the park and museum attraction area... The only problem / area for improvement would be wifi access €5 for 1 hour is somewhat excessive, especially when some cheaper hotels offer this service for free!

"Doesn't accept responsibility"
We stayed two nights at the hotel and the size of the room was accomodating to our family of four. We borrowed a converter for our appliances and ended up blowing a fuse in the room and ruining our sound machine/clock. This was something that neither the hotel or us could forsee happening. The manager wanted to try to fix it but really couldn't come […] up with any solutions. She stated that they don't understand all products and could not see this happening and stated they were not responsible for it. She also stated that all computers and phones would work using the converters but would not do anything about the clock. Well thats kind of understandable until our computer tripped the fuse again and basically fried the power supply for our computer. The manager would not accept responsibility for this even after she stated that the computers would be fine. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Why isn't WiFi Free ?"
I would have given a 5 strar rating at this hotel if the internet was not 5€ per hour or 10€ per 24 hour (who is going to stay in their room 24 hours anyway ? and do we only use internent for 1 hour ?). Considering their great location for Trinity college and great breakfast (at very reasonable price) ? why charge for WI FI and risk the anger of all […] the business people that really need internet to get about with their business !!!

"An ok stay"
It was an ok hotel but most of the comforts were at additional costs (such as Internet access, breakfast and so on). A plus was the location but I Don't think I'll stay there again.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Good choice of hotel near the centre of Dublin"
We had a very comfortable stay. Compact family room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Reception staff were polite and helped arrange a day tour for us to the Giant's causeway. Hotel location is quite good too. The breakfast is excellent value for money.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
We had a very pleasant stay! Only complaint is not complimentary breakfast!Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Close to IFSC and Citycenter"
The stay was very comfortable.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Convenient Location"
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, which was ideal after the ferry from Holyhead and drive to Galway the following day. Also used the hotel for our return journey. The only drawback was the extremely expensive cost of parking our car in the hotel`s adjoining multi storey car park.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
"Air conditioning needed!"
The hotel location was ideal for us. Cheap parking (€9/day) at station car park for our high-top vehicle. Clearway 7-10am on local roads. Room rather small, but usual for a city-centre location. Lack of air conditioning in room was a major drawback. The weather was very warm, and the window was limited to a small opening due to secondary glazing and […] 'security' concerns. Road noise was significant also. Unfortunately there was an access door to an adjoining room, which meant there was no soundproofing between these rooms. One castor was missing from the bed divan, so the bed was lop-sided. We reported this, but the hotel did not sort it out for the second night as we had hoped. We would stay again, but if the weather is warm, we'll ask for a room away from the road. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

To be with a koan
"To be with a koan,"
said the Zen Master,
"has nothing to do with Hamlet,
those old jokes about small pigs
or tiny villages,
bees and bee keepers. No,
to be with a koan,
you must get inside it
without forcing your entry.
Its like youre lemonade powder
dissolving in water.
Something other than you
does the stirring,
but theres nothing other than you,
and after awhile, nothing stirs."
The New Criterion
November 2012
