I totally agree with Dave, however, this place is CLOSED. Atmosphere: Nice Crowd: Varies Dress: Casual Food: Very good Noise: Average Service: Average Comments: They were good in a nice setting, though a bit over-priced in the end.

One of the few restaurants left in what was a rather large chain of upscale steak houses from the 1970s. Charley Browns was at one time a premier surf and turf place. Now, it is simply overpriced. It still, however, can offer you a good steak meal in a relatively quiet atmosphere - something that Stuart Anderson's really cannot do too well.

This is the upscale version of Black Angus. The quality is about the same as Black Angus, but I didn't see much added value in the higher price. The restaurant is probably located strategically to get business clients in the nearby aerospace and software industry.

Not one of the best members of this variable-in-quality corporate steakhouse chain. While the selection of steaks, seafood, and similar fare is, in general, not bad, this particular resturant has had numerous problems in food preparation and in service (the latter being sometimes utterly clueless). On my last dinner here we waited almost an hour for the main courses to arrive (40 minutes after the salad course), and my steak was medium-well instead of medium- rare, and they forgot the special mushroom and roasted garlic topping (it was part of a daily special). When I mentioned this the manager went and had them make a topping, which turned out to be a watery mixture of sauteed mushrooms and green onions, with no roasted garlic. Pitiful. The manager comped the meal for both of us, but it was simply not worth the risk of a ruined evening. Try Del Monte Restaurant (Murphy St., Sunnyvale) or Sundance Mine Company (El Camino Real, Palo Alto) for a good steak instead.
