    How good can a meal possibly be? Can it be so good that you never want it to end? Oh my God,…read moreeverything we ate was that good. We. Were. OBSESSED!!! As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with applause, like everyone was already our friend. We sat at the big communal tables with other groups, and honestly, we loved that experience. I can't remember the name of the potato dish right now, but I included a photo of it--it was the second best potato dish I've ever had in my life. And that octopus... you just want to reach over and hug it because it's too perfect to eat. It was incredibly tender on the inside, with the lightest, crispiest exterior. And that amazing flavor... ahhh, it was so, so good. We also ordered a steak, but I realized I forgot to take a picture of it. It was delicious too. The only bad thing about this place? The portions eventually come to an end. Guys, you seriously need to invent never-ending portions. The churros were amazing too. Every single dish was unique. You could tell so much thought and effort had gone into creating flavors that were anything but ordinary. Even though we were seated about 30 minutes after our reservation, it honestly didn't bother us one bit. I think I could've waited two hours and still thought it was worth it. How did you do this??? How did you manage to get a review like this out of me? Seriously, well done. We'll definitely be back as soon as possible!

    I started out feeling ready for an adventure…read more I got to The Pawn Shop about 15 minutes early. I was standing outside of the "store" and a woman opened the door to tell me that they didn't open until 5. I told her that we had a reservation at 5 and that I understood. No way was she going to let me in early to get off the street (in a fairly rough area). Entryway smelled of urine. When the rest of my party arrived, they were closer to 5 but we still had to wait until exactly 5:00 to get in. When we finally got in, the fake, pawn shop front was pretty cute. We got the ceremonious tour and speal and were lead into the back where the bar is. They sat us upstairs in back and let us know that we had 1 hour before we would need to leave for a large party coming in. Limited menu for both drinks and apps. No entrees, couldn't even get a Cabernet. The "large party" coming in to kick us out never materialized. Overall feel was that they didn't want us as customers. Not impressed. I can spend my money in better places.

    Thank you for the greatest customer service that is rare these days. The integrity & this business…read morehas shown to me. These people at Best Collateral in the mist crisis when the company had a computer crash and melt down. Yet they held it together. I really appreciate them being patient is the key. These are the team to I trust with my loans and jewelry. I recommend you to this business.

    Since the chain opened they always under cut the customers and will tell you your jewelry doesn't…read morehave much value. Then I'd go to the SF Gold Buyer in San Francisco, out on West Portal, and I'd get double to triple the price. I sold them a very unique fine grass weaved bracelet with a silver clasp, 2 side silver adornments, very plane, & the larger adornment in the middle. I was told by this place that it had no value but the silver that amounted to nothing. I drove over to SF Gold Buyers and the bought it. A week later I saw it in the sale cabinet, and another week later it sold! I sold it to them for $60. They priced it at $120. So, you have to know more than just the value of the metal! These lunkheads have no clue of the value or history of anything but the obvious. Like that Haida silver jewelry is expensive because it's ALL hammered by hand & hand engraved. No melting & casting!! l just want to warn all of you. Go to another place 1st then go to this joint to make sure they know the value of your items!! You'll be surprised, & angry.

    Here's the news: There is simply NO better place in the city to take your gold when you are ready…read moreto sell. Unlike local pawn shops and other buyers, they are 100 % honest and more than fair in their appraisals. Couple that with impeccable customer service and you will walk away a dedicated customer. Put it this way, back in the day, when they were a rival, I was their customer! Im no longer in the gold buying business but one thing is for certain, I am an expert in these matters and they are the best, bar none.

    Larry, the owner, responded thus: "Regarding the scrap…read moresilver price discrepancy you highlighted, we must clarify that our current rates are significantly higher than the figure you mentioned." "The figure I mentioned" was the scrap value, which is precisely what your employee told me that your "current rate" is. That "rate" is the lowest amount that a silver coin could possibly be worth, without losing money on it. The other coin buyers I work with pay nearly double that amount, for reasons I mentioned (the fungibility of silver coins). So it sounds to me like there is either a disconnect between your policy and your employee's understanding of it, or that you're just trying to spin this in a positive way. Either way, I wasted my time. I took the coins to Polyak on Monday and was paid about double the scrap value, which is much higher than what you would've paid me. ‍ But I'll give you another star for at least responding.

    This is a small place but full of business and life .. This was my first time visiting Campos…read moreJewelers and I gotta say it was a great experience. The owner was as the nicest guy , super friendly and super helpful . Introduced himself , was friendly and treated us as if we were long time customers. I will definitely be making my next jewelry purchase from them , I urge anyone looking for their next jewelry purchase definitely stop by Campos Jewelry. The owner also have my daughter a free shirt which was pretty cool . Thanks Campos Jewelry for your amazing customer service.

So I can wear it as a longer chain or have on my chain with my bracelet on my wrist. I paid 15k in total and this is what I got for a custom piece. Looks like work I could have done with a drill bit. My request was a custom chain and bracket and this is what I got. I'll let you be the judge. I keep having to repair the same issue because the way it was "customized". Damaged Goods is what the other jewelers call this. For me to get it repaired and fixed properly. I have to pay an additional $1500 elsewhere . Repair on the chain for the Box Clasp. I stopped buying jewelry here and went downtown to the jewelry exchange a whole block of vender with quality and better pieces. Truly customized pieces as well that will compete so you can go back and forth and hustle the prices down.

    On my last two visits, the owner cheated me. She made a quote on the gold per gram, then raised it…read morehigher. When I questioned her about it, she said, oh, he made a mistake and gave me the difference. Last week she did the same thing again. After going to them for over 15 years, this should not happen. I know the economy sucks but you don't cheat old clients. Totally in the last 15 years, I spent over $50K there, and only recently did her cheating become blatantly disappointing. Why couldn't the $33 difference be in my favor ... cause they cheat. I will not return and she saw that look on my face as I left the premises. There are other places, over 300 gold shops posing as jewelry stores, in San Francisco, their business would not be missed.

    I come here because my parents always do business with them and thought we would be treated fair…read morebut no, go elsewhere with your money and jewelry. The owner is quick to take your jewelry when you pawn it BUT making payments to buy it back!!!!! I just missed 1 payment with her and she automatically said that my ring was no longer available to me? I've been coming here for years with my parents since I was a little girl and to get played like that was unnecessary and unprofessional! I always pawn the same ring when I need quick cash but I ALWAYS buy it back. It's the same service I've been doing with her for a few years and she knew how much my ring meant to me. So when that 1 payment was missed and I called about it, she was quick to tell me that it wasn't mines anymore and I had to pay FULL PRICE of whatever number she wanted to charge for it. They have moderate selections in jewelry but very overpriced! You'll find better deals in Oakland with better selections and customer service!!!
