Mike has returned to me a bunch of edited restaurant reviews and they're now up on my website. These include:
Speisekammer, a child-friendly German restaurant in Alameda
Thai Garden, the main attraction of this Hayward restaurant is that it's the closest Thai restaurant to San Leandro
Boulevard, good but unimaginative Californian food at this San Francisco institution
Nick's, had some awful food at this San Leandro coffeeshop
Joaquin Deli, few changes since it was Vatran's Flying Sausages means good sandwiches and deli products.
