Service is very personal and friendly. Aske about any specials since
not everything is on the menu, and at times things on the menu are not
always availaable

It is great.There is a fish market where you may buy fresh fish by the
pound and then they had enough sense to go out and buy a deep fryer and
see what happens.What happened is the best fish and chips in the world
all cooked to perfection and served in a decidedly low key and casual
style

| Shiroi Hana Restaurant | Chicago, IL | |

The waitstaff use very litle words, but are very friendly and attentive.
The sushi itself is great. They are very fresh, and the appetizers and
entrees are also very well done. The best part however are the prices!
There is a $7.95 sushi special that comes with at least 8 kinds of sushi,
2 kinds of rolls, miso soup, and even a little tootsie roll for dessert.
Sweet, huh?

100 percent vegetarian, very spicy, and completely delicious. Don't
miss the masala dosa, a giant rice crepe with a potato-onion filling,
which comes with great sauces for dipping. The samosas and rasam are
also excellent.

| Sent Sovi | Saratoga, CA | |

This is the best restaurant I have ever visited. It's 5 stars in
all aspects: decor, service, food, everything (excluding the wine
list, which I can't comment since I don't drink). Sent Sovi's
menu has two sides: prix-fixe (with or without wines) and a la carte.
Since my friend and I weren't hungry enough for the prix-fixe dinner,
we made our selection from the a la carte menu. While deciding what to
order, a "pre-appetizer" puff pastry with avocado and
cranberry cream was served. We ended up ordering a peasant risotto
appetizer, and my friend ordered a pork loin and I ordered a steak. When
the appetizer was served, we were pleasantly surprised to find that
the chef has splitted the portion in halves and put them on separate
plates for us. Then dinner was served and the tastes was marvelous.
I can't comment on my friend's pork loin since he refused to
let me have more than one bite, but my steak was tastefully done. It's
pink but not red or black (yes I'm weird; I like medium-well steak),
and it's small enough (probably 3-4 oz?) for me to finish. The accompanying
vegetables were delicious too. It's just the perfect steak dish
that I've always dreamed of but never have got from other restaurants.
Afterwards my friend ordered a warm chocolate tart which was second
only to the belgian chocolate cake served in another Fremont restaurant

The fares are quite reasonable for quality and ambiance of this magnitude.
I like the warm, fresh bread that is brought around throughout the meal.
The Cr麥e-Brul馥 is exquisite. Definitely the place
to go if you want to spend a little more to get a lot more; very classy.

There are many, many better Italian retaurants in the area to go to (see
Gambardella's!) in this area. The service was nothing to write
home about and neither was the food. Very bland and the lasanga was simply
bad. The decor is fairly nice but atmosphere does little to offset mediocre
food.

I ordered fettucine with shrimp. The salad that came with it was excellent,
and the shrimp where so enormous I had to cut each like a steak, but otherwise
it seemed overrated. I much prefer Palermos on University Avenue,
though I don't know if it is fair to compare the two since they are
different regions.

I go there becuase it is simply the best butcher/deli in the South Bay
area. The quality of the meats they sell is absolutely outstanding.
I have bought and grilled all of the following and have always been impressed:

| Kuleto's Restaurant | San Francisco, CA | |
|
Food quality has always ranged from good to fantastic. A full on dinner
with drinks, appetizers , main course, dessert, a bottle of medium
priced usually costs $65 per person. It' not cheap, especially
if you and your date are crammed into a small bistro table on the bar side.
You feel a little more indulged if you get the back raised booth in the
hotel lobby section. You'll need six in your party to qualify for
that location. Ask your server for for the freshest fish and you'll
get a great meal. Seasonal app

Awesome food, great funky ambience. The chefs are modern artists,
every plate is a creation to behold. When you order an entree, the plate
comes decorated with serveral salads, vegetables, etc. each with
their own distinct flavor We have taken many people to this restaurant
and they love it. I know of one person who had a problem with service,
but we have always found the wait staff to be most gracious. Make reservations!

| Ebisu Restaurant | San Francisco, CA | |

This is the best Sushi restaurant I ever had. I have been a long time customer
after I found it. Their are lots of fresh fish to choose from every time
I visted. Some seasonal specials are also impressive if you wouldn't
mind trying something new,

| Higashi-West | Palo Alto, CA | |
|
Ne of the most creative restaurants I ever went. I'm still exploring
after my forth visit. Dishes I recommend: higashi west roll for sure is the most unique one,
yaki udon, oyster shooter, pork chop, palo alto roll, spider roll,
and, don't forget the original sashimi if you are a fish lover.
Save some space for its sake cream brulee, or chocolate tart, they are
great!

Very good food, good service. Though the dining area is small, you don't
feel really crowded. We were able to have a leisurely meal and relax
(on a Monday night). The recommended wine was good also.

| Osteria | Palo Alto, CA | |
|
A reasonably priced, unexceptional italian restaurant. My friend
tried to convert me (It's his favorite, my favorite italian restaurant
is Palermos). I thought that the atmosphere was uninspirational and
my food was so heavy with butter that I didn't feel like eatting
again for an entire day.

| Cafe Pro Bono | Palo Alto, CA | |
|
Overall this goes on my list (the good one). Entrees of filet mignon
(with cabernet & peppercorn sauce) and the ravioli "Susans
Downfall" (with a hardy Parmesan & other goodies sauce)
were both excellent and well presented. Dessert a bit dissapointing,
but the service was generally prompt and friendly. Less expensive
than I thought. This had been described as "Italian" to
me, but it is more accurately "Continental".

The food was excellent, but our waiter seemed to be slow. For a really
memorable meal get the cheese plate for dessert, whew that's some
stinky cheese. :) The Tiramisu was excellent.

Food is MUCH better during the week when they aren't so crowded.
If tongue-burnign is not your alley, you ABSOLUTELY MUST try their
sliced chicken in black bean suace and the Walnut Prawns special. EXCELLENT!!!

| Rangoon Restaurant | Palo Alto, CA | |
|
The food is really good. I'm a vegetarian and usually go for the
Kala Hin which is exquisite. I think the only negative at the restaurant
is that it is kind of small so, its not that conducive to provate conversations
and, sometimes, the wait can be long.
