Eugene -- Have you tried Ikenohana, near Stevens Creek and  
Sunnyvale-Saratoga, in Cupertino?  I've tried many, and if I haven't tried  
one, it's only because I haven't yet dragged anyone else there, not for lack  
of interest.  Of the places I've been, I think it has the best combination of  
service, atmosphere, decor, food quality, food selection, price, and consumer  
satisfaction (among all my friends I take there).  I think it's better than  
most of the places in SJ J-town I've been to.  I would add, though, that I'm  
*not* very familiar with the places in SF.  Try it, or drag me there sometime  
(it won't take much convincing!). -- Sam

  Yes, they are in Palo Alto, on University Ave.  They have a
  wood-burning oven where lots of little chickens go round and
  round.  The only thing that I don't like about Palermo is that
  almost all of the meals (that I like) come with spinich, which

This dish is available at most Vietnamese restaurants in San Francisco

Tonight a friend and I had dinner at the India Cookhouse in Mountain View
During dinner we had several insect visitors who were quite curious
about our meal.  There were two cockroaches (BIG) crawling along the
wall.  First they visited the table behind us, then came to visit us also.
When the management of the restaurant was informed of the cock roach 
situation, they found the whole thing rather humourous.  Needless to say,
we did not.  It seemed like they were not surprised that we had cock roach
visitors, so it is probably a common event there.  I not reccommend this

I thought I'd relate a funny incident that happened to me at the 
garlic festival one year in hopes that it won't happen to you, unless
you want it to.

I was at the garlic festival this one year and was looking
for the stand I remembered from a previous year that had the fantastic 
giant oysters in a buttery garlic sauce.  They were absolutely yummy.

After much searching I finally found the Oyster stand and much to my 
good fortune, there was no line!  Walking away from the stand I noticed
that the oysters were much smaller this year and looked a little different.
Being starved, I paid little attention and promptly scarfed down a couple
of these little babies.  Soon I noticed they just didn't taste the same
as the previous year either.  Infact I really didn't like them that much.
I wandered back toward where I purchased them and double checked the
sign.  In faded smaller letters above the word oysters was the 
qualifying phrase: "Rocky Mountain".  Blech.  I almost puked and promptly
through the rest in the trash.   

Caveat Emptor.

Cypress Club
------------
Well,  I personally loved the Cypress Club.  Yes it is a TRENDY
kind of place, but hell... why not?!?

The atmosphere was electricifying!!  The service was superb!!  
The food was excellent!! (Then again, I'm not sure what GREAT
food really means... it's all so subjective when you reach the
better than average place for food.)

I really think it's a place to at least investigate if you
haven't been there yet.  I'd say the cost is about ~$45
without drinks per person.  Like all good trendy places,
everything is ala carte..... and crowded so make reservations.

Las Caux
--------
This is one of my old time favorites.  I haven't gone to the
theater lately, but when I do... I stop here for dinner.

It's (I guess) French-continental dining.  Food is definitely
its winning point.  The atmosphere comes in second.  The
service has been on and off the last few times I was there.

Cost here is ~$40 without drinks.  I like this "Cave".  It's
a nice place to meet a few friends for dinner.  It's not as
noisey as the Cypress Club... and the last two times I was
there they has a string trio there for background music.

A couple of sushi-hacks I know and trust have both told me that uni in the

Japan. They've both tried it there and say there's no comparison. Here, 
it's eaten so you can lord it over the rest of us who leave the uni for

It's also available at the Andronico's grocery stores here in
Berkeley.  Unfortunately, creme fraiche and clotted cream are totally
different things.  Clotted cream is sort of like a cross between cream
cheese and cottage cheese, but stringy and doesn't taste at all like
either of them.  The taste is sort of like whipping cream before it's
whipped.  Anyone else have a better description?

Recently somebody let slip a mention of Rincon Tarasco
at 5th and Middlefield in the barrio of Redwood City.

I went & this place is a step function above the others.

Have you ever had a basic chile relleno with a puree of
fried onions, tomato, and sour cream as the sauce?
Would have been good with salsa or such, this was tops.

Have you ever asked for salsa fresca and had to listen to
five minutes of chop chop sounds from the kitchen before
it arrived?  The tomatoes and cilantro were probably in
the fridge when I asked.

How many places serve a beef enchilada with other than beef
in it?  This had all lean beef in a well spiced red sauce.

Nothing was hot, except the basic picante that appears on
the table with your (fresh today) chips.  Ask for some
salsa fresca at that time.  I went through two bowls.

The place looks like a dive, cheesy pinatas hanging up,
cheap panelling, etc., but I will be going back many times.
They have their own parking lot, and the other end of the
building appears to be a bar.

So what does Rincon Tarasco (w/ various little marks) mean?

I was under the impression that Hooters is a uniquely Texan phenomenon
(thank God).  When Usenix was in Dallas, a female delegation from a
local Hooters, clad in high heels, short-short-shorts and
tightly-stretched t-shirts, came to the convention hotel apparently
trolling for nerds.  At first we thought they were hookers.

For those not in the know, the Hooters logo gives you a clue:  the twin
O's are stylized to look like...well, you know.
