I was also referred to Dr. Baron by my mom. Both my parents have used him for the garden variety pre-cancer screenings and various zappings of "suspect" aging related blotches. I also did a pre-cancer screen and appreciated his use of digital photography to track my freckles over time. All of the technitians and nurses are wonderful, very friendly and chipper.

Seven Stars with its new location is a good option if you're looking for convenience. If you're looking for even more convenience, then have them deliver it--anywhere on the Island. Last time I did it was free and included a couple bonus spring rolls. I wouldn't take Chinese friends there since the International District is just 10 minutes away, but the convenience is hard to beat if you're looking for something easy.

There's a hidden secret on Mercer Island called the Roanoke Inn.
Once an Inn for ferry riders crossing Lake Washington from Leschi to the island, the Roanoke has been in continuous operation since 1914...and feels like it.
Reminds me of some of the inns and roadhouses I discovered while living in upstate Mass.
Food is typical tavern fare...maybe a notch or two higher on the preparation scale. Not cheap but reasonable, with enough variety to satisfy a range of dietary preferences.
A great place to meet friends after work...especially during the summer, when there's ample outdoor seating on the open front porch, the side patio and the back yard.
It's a must visit for anyone who has missed out on this little gem of a historical road house.

Finally a good weekend breakfast option. The renovated Islander with its fancy bench seats, new bar and plasma TV are quite a contrast from the days of yore. The lunch and dinner menu is great. I have yet to have a bad meal there and the service is great. For those of you who can appreciate a harder pub tradition try the bangers and mash. Delicious! Best yet they have a weekend breakfast menu that is pretty darned good, and since it's a restaurant and not just a bar the kids can join you. Sorry Roanoke, but the Islander has you on that one.

Roberto's has good basic Italian food, including the daily specials which are always led by cheese bread and a cheesy dinner salad. The pizza is actually quite tasty. The service on the other hand is....well, not so good. After eating there 30+ times (yes, there are few options on Mercer Island) I can say that I have a good feel for the lack of service. They are typically slow to take your order, slow to bring the food, slow to refill the drinks and slow to take your money. That said, if you are in absolutely no rush and have a low service expectation then this is your place! :)

I have been going to see Dr. Doty since I was a kid and I think they have had the same personnel since I was a kid. They are all very friendly and always remember who I am despite not going in very often (I hate the dentist). He always remembers what I was up to in my life the last time I went in for a visit, and seems to honestly care. Not very many professionals talk about their own personal life as he is always making references towards his own family. Family is obviously very importtant to him. Aside from this, everyone there is extremely professional and caring, which is ultimately the most important thing to me. I would definitely recommend this dentistry. The practice has been around a long time, so it's probably very busy.

These guys make a great pie! The service is also quite good and relatively quick. Look for their specials that are usually attached to the menu. If you're looking for delivery, Sahara is a staple.

I just can't figure out why I can't ever get a good sandwich here. It seems to have all the necessary components, but I still leave unsatisfied. They have been out of basic Italian bread on too many occasions for me. I've dropped in for a sandwich at lunchtime and for dinner, waited in long lines, and left unhappy. It seems understaffed at times but the staff seems nice. Has anyone else felt this way?
