Awful place to go! Will never go again! Workers are not friendly or eager to help!…read more Called to get an items and the guy said it's available and we have it but 'I do t have time to get them for you to put on hold' , so I had to drive to the store! Parking is a nightmare! The guy i first saw told me to go to the front desk not welling to assist at all! Then the same guy was called to find the item but some one else from the store came and went to fetch! I thought why is this guy did not just help me at the first place? They have some kind of Command in line? The place had few workers but no one really care to assist me! I am trying to purchase an over $100 stuff and came few miles away to get it but they don't seem to care! Then the guy came back and told me they don't have what I want ! The online is wrong! I think he is just stupid and did not find it!!! Completely waste of my time! Not sure what is wrong with Menlo Park stores! I have repeat bad experiences in a month so I guess i will not return to this town to do any purchases! Where is the old fashion service?? It's gone !! Or maybe now a day ' service' is an unknown thing!!! I will just go to home depot or Amazon. Instead! Store like ace should review their service , if Amazon or home depot monopolised the market , this will be a good reason! I got better service at home depot cone to think of it!!!

I needed some flare fittings that are not commonly stocked at big box stores. Acehardware.com told…read moreme that Menlo Park Hardware had six of them in stock today so I put an order in for pick up to make sure I didn't have to dig through a disorganized rack for half an hour to find them when I got there. Less than 20 seconds after my order confirmation email I got an order cancellation email full of broken links to files on someone's hard drive. No explanation, just "Your order has been cancelled. Bye." I contacted customer service to see what the issue was and they gruffly told me that my payment was rejected and that I'd need to call my bank. I called Discover and they said no one had even attempted to charge my card for anything in the last 48 hours. Basically, Ace is full of it. McMaster-Carr overnighted the fittings to me for $13. Same card and everything. The next time you see some local hardware store owner crying on the news about how everyone shops at Amazon now try and remember it's likely because they stopped attempting to provide anything their customers needed a very long time ago. There's dozens of small-time hardware stores in San Rafael, none of them have the lowest prices on anything and all of them are packed with customers because they actually try.

I came here a month ago to pick up chicken feed with my toddler. I sat her down and turned aside for 20 seconds to lift the feed bag, and then noticed she was standing next to an open bag surrounded by loose pellets. I looked closer and realized this was open, loose rat poison. Yikes! The bags say to handle with heavy gloves and to keep from pets and children. At least one is an anti-coagulant rodenticide - very bad for a child to get into. I would never had expected to come across loose poison littering the floor while shopping, and I might have easily assumed it was just loose feed if I hadn't noticed the packaging. I told the person at the register but they did not seem concerned. I probably should have impressed upon him further the danger of keeping these open bags with spilled contents on the floor of the customer area, but I was also worried that my daughter may have handled/eaten some in the moment I was turned away, and I wanted to leave quickly to tend to that possibility. A month has passed and I stopped by for more feed. The same open bags with same spilled poison are still littering the floor. This seems dangerously negligent on Robert's part. There are many things to like about this store, and I'd much rather be writing about those. Please clean up this dangerous and irresponsible mess before someone's service dog or child is harmed.

That being said, our server broke one of our wine glass while serving us, they were out of Migration and Caymus, the only two wines we wanted to try, and my sea bass was the most undercooked fish I have ever been served at a restaurant - and it's a relatively pricy dish on their menu. I was do disappointed. I didn't want to complain and have it sent back because they were already taking so long to get food out. As for positives: the grilled avocado and caviar was delicious; the butterscotch dessert was very rich, but delicious. If they sold that in a jar, I would have walked away with it. At one point, the server offered us a complimentary shrimp appetizer - maybe they noticed they were falling short on our experience and tried to sweeten the deal. Appreciated the effort. Maybe their brunch is stronger. I can only imagine what those glass ceilings would do to the place on a bright clear day.

She mentioned that she has been to the RH up in the north bay and she enjoyed the food there, so she wanted to try out the Palo Alto location. This was my first time going to RH. There is an RH near where I work in San Francisco, but I have never been inside. What RH is, it's a high-end furniture store with a rooftop restaurant. The prices for the furniture are too expensive for my taste, but everything there is very elegant and pristine. I had made a reservation online and we were seated promptly after checking in. Here's what we got: - roadside lobster (mom) - Grilled shrimp (share). - Fried chicken sandwich + sweet potato fries (mine) - tri - tip sandwich (his) - matcha latte (dessert) - butterscotch creme brûlée (dessert) The food did take some time to come out, maybe 20 minutes or so. The shrimps came out first. They were fairly large and tasted great, not overcooked at all. A few minutes later, the rest of the entrees arrived. Zach said that he enjoyed his sandwich. My chicken sandwich was just okay, nothing outstanding. The sweet potato fries though were really good, light and not too crispy. The rosemary mayo(?) that came with the fries was a delicious change from the usual ketchup dip. My mom said that she wished her sandwich was bigger, but tasted fine. My mom also got the butterscotch creme brûlée for dessert. It was too sweet for my mom so I ended up eating the whole thing. The matcha drink that I got for dessert was not too sweet and a perfect ending to our meal. But since I ate the creme brulee my mom wanted the matcha so I'm glad I at least got a few sips before she had the rest. Overall, I'd say the food at RH was decent. Maybe due to the aesthetics of RH, I was expecting the food to taste better.

Studio Belmont has been awesome to work with.

When the products came in, they were delivered straight to my house with no issues whatsoever. A fantastic experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Amy and the team at SB.

I was a little limited by my need for 8 smaller and 6 larger handles but I was drawn to one handle almost immediately and they had just enough small handles and more than enough large handles. So happy! I made my purchase within 15 minutes! With multiple employees saying, "Have a nice day!" Unfortunately these were unlike most ithwr handles as they only came with 1 inch screws instead of those AND 1.5 inch - so I ran back to them and they quickly found me 30 breakaway screws that go up to 2.5inches - no hassle, no problems, just found me screws, bagged them, and apologized - not their fault! Not a fault! All good! My vanity looks great with the handles, now just waiting for the countertop! If you have time and remember to order, their selection is much larger than what you can get on the spot, some of it quite fun, and the easiest way to change out a look in your bathroom! LOVE!

This is the only Home Depot that employees greet their customers that I've been too. I usually go to the garden center as they have a larger variety of plants in comparison to East Bay. Plants selection is huge and are well taken care of. I find more tropical fruit plants here compared to where I live. Employees are eager to assist. I only had one horrible experience for a plant return with a female Hispanic associate with red hair questioning me. She pulled the citrus tree out of the soil and accused me that this isn't a tree. Given that the tree had died and shriveled up, I return what I had purchased under their 1 yr plant guarantee. She called a manager and no one showed up and was having a fit. She reluctantly processed my return but in the future, I won't try to save a tree and return it immediately once it goes bad because of her interrogation. I used to purchase a lot of fruit trees but it is no longer a hassle free transaction, purchases have been more restricted.
