This place is fantastic! It's a quick-serve restaurant, which makes it ideal for large gatherings where everyone is paying for their own meal. They do an incredible mix of ethnicities ranging from italian to asian to classic american and all sorts of other yummy things! You can get The Central Coast Pizza ($8.99) which is topped with Baby artichokes, capers, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes & crushed garlic, topped with goat cheese or The Grilled Salmon Risotto ($12.99)which is a huge fresh king salmon fillet herb grilled & served
over lemon vegetable risotto. Most meals are served with their delicious house-made bread! There is a great bar or you can get some delicious pre-mixed frozen drinks while ordering your food. The Campbell, California location offers two floors for seating and a large patio which looks over downtown Campbell. Weekend evenings deliver wonderful live entertainment from music to comedy and a large crowd that enjoys attending. Breakfasts range from omelettes to pancakes and other goodies and are generally pretty busy! Completely worth it however! Leave room for dessert (all $6.50)! You won't be able to resist the Butterscotch Bread Pudding or the Dark Chocolate Fondue, which is perfect for sharing!
Check out their weekly specials as well! Some of the best meals I've had there are the weekly specials! Portions are generous, atmosphere is comfortable and the prices are reasonable. Check it out! You won't be disappointed!

This is kind of a 2-part review. I was told it would take 2-6 weeks to see results but in the week since I've started, the redness, irritation and general overall unpleasantness of my acne problem (brought on by pregnancy) has really improved!
I purchased the 5-piece package including: Renewing Cleanser which gently exfoliates dead skin cells allowing benzoyl peroxide to penetrate pores, Revitalizing Toner which soothes and softens skin while removing pore-clogging impurities, and the Repairing Lotion which hydrates skin while penetrating deep to stop acne-causing bacteria at the source. These are the core products in the line. My package also included: Oil-Free Moisture with
SPF 15 which is luxurious lotion leaves your skin velvety soft, without that slippery feeling. It's specially formulated for acne-prone skin, so it won't clog your pores - and it contains SPF 15 to protect you from the sun's harmful rays, and Daily Oil Control which helps keep your skin balanced, so it looks radiant instead of oily. Helps keep pores from clogging, makeup from streaking and skin from shining, all day long. As a free gift I also received their Refining Mask, which you use approximately 3 times a week.
This package can be purchased on their website for $59.95 (I paid $69.95 at a mall kiosk, but didn't pay for shipping, plus I got it right away instead of having to wait, but in the future I may order online for convenience).
They have a variety of packages, starting with the main 3- piece one that includes the 3 core products, which on their website can be purchased for $39.95. The best part is that, through the kiosk I purchased it at, I am getting a 60-day money back guarantee! I just bring the reciept and the remaining product if I'm not satisfied!
So, while it is pricey..It's kind of a win-win. I'll complete this review once my 60-days is up but so far, even in just this first week, the improvements on the overall appearance of my skin is awesome!
Downside: The cleanser is a little rough on the skin, which is followed by a toner that can sting slightly. But I have not experienced any redness brought on by the products and the lotions that I got in the 5-piece package took care of any dryness that might occur. I highly recommend this and am looking forward to the next few weeks and seeing my pregnancy-acne dissappearing!
Little Tidbits: The product I got will last approximately 2 months. You use very little of it and a little goes a long way. That gives us an approximate cost of $35 a month. However, I have heard that once you figure which products work for you, you just get those..which will cut costs considerably. Also, Check out www.proactive.com for specials that will allow you to try it with a 30-day money back guarantee for as little as $19.95!
