Los Angeles, CA Spanish Restaurants - Los Angeles, CA Barbeque Restaurants - Los Angeles, CA Caribbean Restaurants - Los Angeles, CA South American Restaurants - Los Angeles, CA Restaurants 10/30/06: 'yummy memories'

This place has so many wonderful dishes that bring back memories of my grandmother's cooking, and you can't beat that! It is dark, but that can be very nice and romantic, the liquados (milkshake) were good, although I prefer them a little sweeter. We had the chef's choice appetizer, and nearly got full with just that alone! It had an nice assortment of ceviche, tamales, plantain balls stuffed with wonderful veggies, and a few othe delicious items. I had the seafood alfredo with lime and my husband had the fish of the day with black beans, saffron rice and fried plantains. Everything was wonderful! The waitstaff was friendly but not stiffling. Prices are moderate, but you can taste the food is made with love.

PROS: interesting dishes
CONS: can get a little pricey, but it is worth it.

Micelis Restaurant In Universal Cahuenga

Los Angeles, CA Family Restaurants 10/30/06: 'Do you want a side of prejudice with that pizza?'

I went to this place about 12 years ago and to this day I cringe and get an angry knot in my belly and the taste of bile in my mouth when i think about Miceli's. We went to this place to support my husband's guitar teacher, he was playing a jazz gig there. We sat down, ordered a pizza and sodas and my husband, myself and a college friend of ours. The pizza had just come we were listening to our teacher friend play all was nice, quiet and fine UNTIL an older fella came to our table and told my husband and our friend that he wanted them out. We asked why, that we were'nt aware of any problem, we had ordered food so we weren't loitering we were listening to the great music with respectful quiet because the musician was our teacher.This old man, presumably the owner, said he didn't need a "reason" he told the two men to leave, he looked me over once and said that I could stay. By myself?! I do feel I need to mention that we were of different racial flavors at our table and up to that day none of us EVER felt that ugly feeling before or since. I actually went home and cried after this experience. I felt that this is a perfect place to leave an honest opinion, we had a nice time before this man came to expell our racially mixed selves so all I can comment on is that our treatment was inexcusable for any time anywhere. They are a family restaurant, but are you the "right" family? All I can hope for is that the close minded rude ways of this old fella died out and a more accepting human way of thinking has rooted at Miceli's.

PROS:
CONS: Red swollen eyes after a long cry.

Vanderhoof Veterinary Hospital

Altadena, CA Animal Hospitals - Altadena, CA Veterinarians 10/30/06: 'Bleed you dry.'

We went to Dr V. ten years ago when we took our elderly boxer to him, he wanted to do all these extra tests with all the bells and whistles ( and pricey) just "to see IF...' When we already knew he had cancer. Fast foward ten years later, we take our second boxer to him to get a small lesion on his face looked at, to "look" he charged almost $300. He wanted to do a battery of tests and the estimate given by the office was close to 1000 bones, that was not including the treatment (of course) which would be unknown!After a good cry and feelings of being a horrible owner because we weren't zillionaires we went to anothe vet which knew what our dog had, did ONE precise test and fixed our little buddy for less than Dr. V's "look at" fee. He seems sweet and nice and smiles an awful lot but you will pay...oh how you will pay...

PROS:
CONS: thin wallet.

Huntington Plaza Pediatric Grp

Pasadena, CA Pediatricians 10/30/06: 'We LOVE our doctor!'

Our family has been very lucky to have Dr. Cohen see our little girl. We originally had Dr. Reid, but I knew that Dr Cohen was perfect for us when I made a frantic newborn mommy phone call and she really put me at ease, she even made a follow up phone call to make sure all was well. I switched immediately to her. She always has a smile and really explains all that you want to know about your child's health. She has the perfect amount of professionalism,warmth and patience. The office is very inviting to children, my daughter never wants to leave!

PROS: Great doctor, nice office, friendly staff.
CONS: The wait time.
