| Mezza Luna Restaurant | Half Moon Bay, CA | |
|
Very good menu. Heard about it from a friend so my wife and
decided to try it. Portions aren't huge but comfortable. Menu
is ala carte, so be prepared for larger bill if you decide to have
an appetizer, soup, salad, wine, beverage and dessert. Pasta
is very good with very tasty sauces.

I happened to discover this restaurant for lunch and it was fantastic.
I agree with other reviewers it reminded me of the creole/cajun
food of Louisiana. Have not tried them for dinner but the lunch
menu was excellent and the portions were substantial and very
flavorfull. The red beans and rice with the Andoulie sausage
were exceptional and authentic. Looking forward to dinner.
The only down side I found is that it is only open for lunch on
Wednesdays.

| Lyons Restaurant | San Carlos, CA | |
|
Probably one of the better of the chain restaurants. Good menu
selection and quick turn around time. Crowded at lunch but if
you go before noon or after 1:00 p.m. it's not bad. Friendly service
and an ok senior menu.

| Buffalo Grill | San Mateo, CA | |
|
Went on recommendation of a friend. Food is very good and the menu
has been slightly different each time I've been. The sandwiches
are delicious and generous, with a wide variety of meats and vegetarian
sandwiches available. Noontime rush is bad but if you go after
1:00 p.m. it's not bad.

| California Pizza Kitchen | San Mateo, CA | |
|
This is not the place to go if you want a regular old fashion pizza.
This is truely California Cuisine, with it's nuances of combining
flavors and dishes of many different types. A pizza, however,
is not the venue for this type of cuisine. If you drink your coffee
black and like just plain pepperoni pizza your better off somewhere
else. If you like sundried tomatoes and decaf lattes with sprinkles
and non-fat milk then this is your place.

Great pizza. Crust is not too thick and the sauce is spicy and flavorfull.
Limited seating and parking but it's worth it. Good beer selection
and the sevice is good.

| Jack's Brick Fournos Pizza | San Mateo, CA | |
|
Very good pizza. Sauce is mildly spicy and has good flavor. Generous
toppings and the service is good. Limited parking but worth a
two block walk from the muni lot.

This is not only a very good place for breakfast (Much better that
IHOP or Dennys!) but they have a good lunch menu. The vinegaraite
salad served with the sandwiches is very tasty and different,
as are the potatoes. The sandwiches are generous and tasty. Expect
a line at lunch time or prime breakfast time (There can't be that
many people with no taste waiting for the same food). If you go
before or after the lunch rush you'll do ok. Be aware they close
at 2:30 p.m.

| La Hacienda Taqueria | Redwood City, CA | |
|
Excellent food and menu. The food is authentic, not Americanized
ala Chevy's. Wide variety on the menu and the service is very good.
Wide variety of beverages, adult and non. Limited parking at
lunch time but after the rush there is no problem. I recommend
the tacos of carne asada. If you can't take hot spicy chile, tell
them to leave it off.

| City Pub | Redwood City, CA | |
|
Great place if you don't mind a lot of people and noise. It all adds
to the atmosphere of a good pub. The food is great, especially
the hamburgers and sandwiches (try the BLTA - excellent). Great
variety of beers to choose from as well as non-alcoholic drinks.
I have not had a problem with service, even on busy lunch days -
can't say about dinner, haven't tried it for dinner. If you get
ther about 11:45, before the big lunch rush, you'll have your
choice of seats and get you meal quickly.

| Clementine's Steak House | Carpinteria, CA | |
|
Small, cozy restaurant with neighborhood touch. Food is very
good and the prices are very acceptable. They specialized in
steaks but have a variety of other foods, including some good
fish dishes. The salads are generous with good dressing not
overdone. The soups are excellent - rich and very flavorful.
had the filet mignon and can honestly say it was one of the best
I've had. Very good wine list and the coffee is excellent. If
you are Carpinteria and do not dine here, it will be your loss.
