Alvarado Street Brewery

After grabbing some fruit from the farmers market right in front, we saw the high reviews for this place and gave it a try. The beer was good but we heartily regretted the food. If you love drowning food in sauce, you may like it. We ordered their most popular items, thinking the turnover would be good. Overall the food was too heavy, dripping with sugary, oily sauces so you couldn't really see or taste the meat. The fried food was so oily and greasy, coating slid right off. We had to double check there wasn't a mistake made with the everything seasoning pretzel bc they looked like plain mini baguettes, kind of like the complimentary Olive Garden rolls (haven't been to one in 20 years so not sure if they r still) but with a baking soda wash. Service was also nonexistent. Given it was empty except for one other table in the front, and we also had several bags of peaches and apricots (which we let them know), we wondered why we were given a tiny table for two all the way in the back where servers were chatting and folding napkins. The size of the table was big enough if you were only going to have beer and a small starter. Right next to us were several large four person tables and booths, any of which would have been comfortable given we were ordering late lunch/early dinner. As we were almost done, we realized they allow non-service dogs inside indoor dining area, (as someone who loves animals and has taken care of several different pets throughout my life) which we think is unsanitary. ~K

Enterprise Rent-A-Car

This location is CLOSED and according to other rental locations has been closed for months. This page should be updated to note this and the Enterprise website should remove the option to make a reservation at this location. I made a reservation for last Friday at this location, called to schedule a pick up and not once was I told that this location was closed. Once I arrived, a note on the door said to call another Enterprise location for assistance. I ended up renting from a competitor. ~Madeline

Barbara Simonich, CPA

Barbara and her team have managed my tax return for the last seven years through home sales, rentals, children, and all that life brings. Her work has always been professional, prompt, and exceeded expectations. Her fee surprised me at first ($300) and I hesitated; however, she returned many fold more to me that first year in savings and has continued to ever since. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stress-free tax season. ~mjj
