baroneg says "Amazing food, but quite a long wait time!" about The Cheesecake Factory- All locations - Sherman Oaks, CA

baroneg — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:35:08 GMT

I have eaten at multiple locations of The Cheesecake Factory. The food has always been amazing at all locations and the desserts are fabulous. I don't typically order dessert when I go out to eat, but at this restaurant it's a must! The portions are huge and I would definitely suggest that you could share a meal with someone else. Although, it's always nice to have the leftovers the next day. The one thing that I don't care for, is the extremely long wait time. While some things are "worth the wait," waiting two hours for a meal is a bit much. Overall, I definitely recommend The Cheesecake Factory, but just wish the wait times could be less.

baroneg says "The best hotel chain ever!" about Embassy Suites Seattle - Bellevue - Bellevue, WA

My husband and I travel multiple times every year and we always try to stay at an Emabassy Suites Hotel. I have found that the rooms at this hotel chain are always clean, very roomy and always exceed our expectations. We love to use the pool at warm locations, and the pools are always clean and a nice atmosphere. One of our favorite things about this hotel is the yummy full breakfast that is provided as well as the cocktail hour in the evening. We have stayed here with our young son and without. We found the staff and hotel as a whole very kid friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will continue to stay here when I can....

baroneg says "Amazing gaming technology!" about Microsoft - Xbox 360 Premium Console

My husband and I purchased a XBox 360 for our son's 5th birthday. We did a lot of shopping around and are thrilled we ended up purchasing it from Wal Mart, as it came with two games. The price is definitely spendy and the games are even spendier. The graphics are amazing and it's great that you can play dvd movies in the XBox 360 as well. The games are rated, which is a nice feature for moms. I have often heard how violent the games were, but we have found tons of games that are not violent and that are perfect for a 5 year old to play. My son definitely has a time limit he can spend playing, but it has increased his hand/eye coordination and it's been a fun game for my son and his dad to do together. I would highly recommend this product, but would also recommend adult supervision with children.

baroneg says "Perfect for home use." about Dell Inspiron E1705 PC Notebook

baroneg — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 21:07:39 GMT

We purchased our Dell Laptop about 6 months ago. For the most part we have been satisfied with our purchase. This laptop is ideal for home use. The kitchen desk we have for a computer is quite small, so the notebook was a great way for us to maximize the space. The amount of memory that comes standard with this computer is plenty for home use or minimal business use. However, I have not been impressed with Windows Vista, the software program that came installed with the computer. I have found that it's not compatible with my Kodak Easy Share camera or the remote access application I use to access my work from home. The price point of the notebook was very comparable with other laptops in it's class. Overall, I am satisfied with our purchase, but I would have been more satisfied if Windows Vista was not the standard application....

baroneg says "Crystal clear picture that exceeds any expectation of a plasma." about Panasonic - 42" Plasma 42PX60U Television

We purchased our Panasonic plasma about a month ago from Video Only. We did quite a bit of research prior to our purchase and definitely felt like this was ideal for us. This television was at the perfect price point of $1400.00. Most of the comparable plasmas were substantially more money, well over $2000.00. The thickness of the television is nice and thin, taking up less space than our previous rear projection television. You can buy a kit to hang this plasma on a wall as well. The clarity of the picture is crystal clear, especially on the channels that are broadcasted in High Definition. We have our plasma hooked up to a surround sound system, but the sound quality was very good when we heard the tv in the showroom. We highly recommend this product....
