I went into Rims and Goggles looking for a pair of glasses for the first time. The staff was so helpful and gave such great advise on what looked good on me. They took so much time with me and we found 3 frames that I was having trouble picking between! They all discussed my needs, my style and what would work with many outfits and for work and going out to dinner parties, etc. I'm so happy I went in there! I couldn't decide on which to get, so I was able to get a discount when I purchased 2 of them, even though I didn't ask for it! Many of the frames there are brought back from Italy and France and are hand made, Nothing like their selection anyplace I've looked in the past. They know fashion, they know eyewear and they treated me with amazing service! I sent my girlfriend down who's daughter wears glasses and she got the most amazing glasses for her! (She loved the huge leopard bean bag in the kids section!!!) We are all great fans of this store and highly recommend it to all who want the best in eyewear. Not a store to be compaired to Sunglass Hut or Neiman's, these guys sell high end eyewear for people who want frames that cannot be found anywhere else! (oh, and I got the most beautiful eyewear chain that's like a necklace there too, so when I'm wearing my glasses, it looks like a regular necklace!) I love them, I'll be back for all my eyewear needs!
Pros: Selection, Customer Service and Knowledge, Fashion advice
Cons: Closes at 6pm most nights and I work late... only open late on Thursdays

This store has a beautiful selection of eyewear. Their prices are high: last year I bought Chanel sunglasses at Sunglass hut in Corte Madera for $40 less than the same glasses at R&G; the Sunglass staff mentioned that Chanel is supposed to be priced the same everywhere (i.e. SG hut was not discounting, so I conclude that R&G is gouging). I had the prescription lenses made at R&G, and the staff was pleasant and courteous. This is a great place to go to identify the eyeglass model you want, then you can surf the web/check other places for better pricing. Their lens prices were similar to other shops (for my expensive prescription/coated/thin etc. etc. lenses). Note: the service was markedly better when I didn't have my kids with me. This is *not* a child-friendly store (and my children are old enough to be well-behaved. Really!)
Pros: Selection-unique styles
Cons: Prices, average service for a high-end boutique
