I'm not sure what sushi-ya means so I'm probably not qualified to comment in  
this thread... However, there is a restaurant on University Ave. in Palo  
Alto called "Sushi-Ya" which is very good. Its a couple of blocks North  
(towards the bay) of Miyake and on the other side of the street. I'm not  
sure if they serve anything other than sushi 'cause we always sit at the  
sushi bar and order whatever looks good or is recommended by the chef.

Why, thank you.  I don't remember exact prices, but I think entrees were
in the $15-25 range and appetizers around $5.00.  We didn't have wine,
so you'll have to get that elsewhere.

P.S. What does a glass of good port cost in a reasonable French restaurant?
     Last year, I was at a *very* expensive *very* fancy restaurant  
     overlooking the *ocean* in *Maui*.  However, I was eating at 
     my wife's employer's expense :-).  I had a glass of port that,

     almost brought tears to my eyes.  However, it cost *somebody*
     $45.

What about the place near downtown in the converted railway car;
is it the Pacific Dining Car?  I had heard they were open 24 hours
but don't remember for sure.

OK, but we'll only make recommendations *if* you tell
us where you went! :)

If you're talking about a night on the town and you want to
stay in the South Bay then downtown San Jose is probably best.

Emile's is wonderful.  

Les Saisons is great too, but the dining
room is too brightly lit for me to think of it as romantic.

The same is true with Il Fornaio.

If you *really* want to make a night of it, rent a room at the
Saint Claire.  The hotel bar is a very romantic spot.

It's too bad that C'est Bon closed.  If you don't mind spending
an entire evening lingering over your meal at a candlelit table, 
it was the place to go.

Does anyone know how David is?

In the fast food category, there are 2 Yiassoo's.  One is on South
Bascom, on the left after you pass The Pruneyard.  The other is on
DeAnza Boulevard in Cupertino, on the left just north of Bollinger
Road.  There's also Falafel's Drive-in on on Steven's Creek east of 880, on 
the left.  Don't let the non-descript appearance of it or the neighborhood 
fool you, although I like Yiassoo better.

I remember going to a regular Greek-American restaurant called 
John's-something on Lincoln in Willow Glen.  I remember it as mostly
a "family" restaurant with a few Greek dishes.  On the left as 
you go south.

There's Zorba's way south of Yiassoo on Bascom.  On the left (natch).
Never ate there, but there's a negative rule of thumb circulating
about Greek restaurants named Zorba's.

You didn't ask me, but here I am anyway -- Homemade on Hollis is
extinct and the Homemade Cafe is wonderful IMHO.  Mexican eggs,
waffles, french toast, and Italian eggs are the highlights.  Good
hash browns and great coffee.  Bette's and Fat Apples are also
excellent, but almost always there is a VERY long wait.  I've eaten
once at Rick & Ann's and Westside Bakery and was not impressed with
the food in either case.

This is a little out of the area, but I had lunch at a small Greek
restaurant in Capitola on Saturday.  The name of the place is Lido.
It had to be one of the best lunches I ever had.
Has anybody else been there?  It's on the oceanfront in 
Capitola's shopping area.  Sorry I can't be more descriptive, but

at the corner of El Camino Real and Callabazas Blvd(half a block N of 
Bowers/Kiely and about 2 locks S of Lawrence). It is behind the TACO
Bell in the shopping Plaza. The Place serves some of the Best NON-
TRADITIONAL ICE CREAMS(i.e. ones not found in BASKIN ROBBINS or 
other places). FLAVORS INCLUDE LEECHY, MANGO, PISTACHIO, SAFFRON-PISTACHIO,
AND A VARIETY OF ITALIAN SPECIALITY ICE CREAMS. The place also serves 
some good tasting Indian Snacks(if you care).

While not entirely Greek, the Mykonos Deli in Berkeley is very good.
It's not a fancy place, you order at the counter to sit in the back
with a tray or take-out. The food is a combo of Greek and Middle
Eastern. The helpings are large and the prices reasonable. I haven't
been in a while but I liked it alot when I last went. The vegetarian
plate is great! It's on Shattuck near the Well`s Fargo Bank.

thanks from me too!    I am a little fuzzy - but Lee had the right range.  I
think dinner for 2 inc. wine but less a symphony discount was $56-70.  They
also gave us a coupon for a special price dinner to use at a later time.

If they do a weekend lunch (not brunch), it might be a reasonable way to check
it out and still afford a matinee.  

just a thought...

I wonder if others saw the review of the Berkeley restaurant
The Fourth Street Grill in the _Chronicle_ today (1-27-93).
I have never read such a vituperative restaurant review, and
I find the review TOTALLY contrary to my own extensive
experience of The Fourth Street.  According to the reviewer,
the kitchen can barely cook, the staff arehardly competent,
and diners cannot hear their own conversations.  I discovered
The Fourth Street about four months ago and have driven over
from San Francisco to have dinner there once or twice a week
since.  (It does help that I have friends in Berkeley who joint
me.)  To me the food has been consistently interesting, well
cooked, and well presented, and the restaurant has the most
relaxed and interestingly mixed atmosphere of any I know in
the Bay Area.  When I have friends visiting from Europe, I
invariably take them there, as the best place to show them why
dining out in California is special.

If others who read this newsgroup have recent experiences of
The Fourth Street, I would be very interested whether their views
are closer to mine or to those of the _Chronicle_ reviewer.

Ya know..you wouldn't think my criteria for a place to eat would be that
hard...it's only a 3-part test, after all:

1) Has to be able to seat folks for dinner at about 10pm on a Friday
night;

2) Has to have a real menu and real waiting service; and

3) Has to serve coffee and dessert.

 Anne,
 Il Fornaio on Cowper St. off University in Palo Alto would seem to fit 
 the above criteria. Serves dinner until midnight, good pasta, never had
 any problems with the service(it's usually quite good), cant vouch for 
the coffee(I'm more of a wine-port person), however I'm sure that I must
have had the coffee on occasion and don't remember it being *bad* (obviously
not too memorable either).
  Tom Merriam
 tmerriam@hpcc01.corp.hp.com

So far, just about the only places which seem to fit this criteria are
Max's at the Stanford Center, and Friday's down by Valco.  [Let's rule
out places like Denny's, shall we?..I guess there is an unstated 4th
criteria:  has to serve real food :-)].

Anybody have any suggestions?  A group of us go out pretty regularly on
Friday nights after a class that gets out at 9:30pm.  Most of us live in
the Palo Alto to Sunnyvale area.

Well, based on the several recommendations here, I decided to take
my daughter and hie us over to Yiasoo tonight.  Boy am I glad that we
did!

We went to the De Anza Blvd. location.  This location is a few blocks
"west" [who can tell in this area? :-)] of the 280 Sunnyvale/Saratoga exit.
As you are heading "west", it is on the left, so you will have to make
a u-turn  (it's on the same side of the street as the Peppermill).

We had the good fortune to be at the location where the wife-half of 
the owner couple was.  What a sweetheart she is!  Her name is Roula
[pronounced sort of like "ruler", only "rulah"].

First off, Yiasoo doesn't claim itself to be a fancy, elegant purveyor
of Mediterranian (sp?) cuisine.  Their menu says "Welcome to a new
experience of fast food".  Well, let me say that even as Med. cuisine
the food here's not half bad.  As 'fast food', it's great!

And fast.

Their sandwich plates include a small greek salad [very fresh
ingredients] and fries, for $5.75.  I didn't want fries, so Roula let me
substitute a bowl of avgalemeno soup instead [it was tasty...not *quite*
as lemony as I like it, but tasty.]  

My daughter and I each had a Gyro Plate.  Quite tasty...my daughter
gave it the highest compliment a 14 year old could, and dubbed it
"better than Jack-in-the-Box" :-)

Next time we go [and we will, believe me] I think I'll try the mousaka.
They also have a 1/2 a roasted chicken dinner for $5.25, or you can
take home a whole roasted chicken for $5.45 (!).

We also took dessert to go.  I had the "cinnamon puffs"..small soft
doughnut hole kinda things with cinnamon and sugar and steeped in a thin
honey.  My daughter had the baklava...and said it was great [as she did
the 1/2 of my cinnamon puffs she ate. :-)]

The Yiasoo on DeAnza is open seven days a week, 11am through 9:30pm.
They are also opening a Yiasoo Cafe near Mervyn's near Steven's Creek
and DeAnza, which will apparently be serving breakfast, etc.

Anyway, in case you can't tell...we liked the place. :-)  I recommend
you give it a try.  Tell Roula that Anne with the 14 year old daughter
sent you. :-)

Good guess. I replace my toothbrushes every few months, and actually should
probably do it more often. One day about a year or two ago I started to save
them and very quickly I had a million of them on my sideboard in a cup.

One day I encountered this very same problem, after a particularly fierce
session of pizza-baking, and tried The Toothbrush. Worked great.

Let it soak in water for a while to soften the cheese and it'll be a whiz.
( Pun intended. :-) Like, overnight, and you'll save much effort.
