I got a bunch of restaurant reviews back from Mike (who edits them, he’s so horrified at my grammar that doesn’t let me post them otherwise). Here they are:
–Pleasanton Hotel Mystery Dinner, we loved the mystery, didn’t enjoy the food.
–Casa Madrid in Pleasanton, poor tapas, good main dishes, great desserts and exemplary service.
–Pyzano’s Pizzeria in Castro Valley, good pizza, nice atmosphere.
–Village Bistro in Castro Valley, good, homey continental cuisine, just like mom used to make if she was French.
–Cafe Colucci in Oakland, good Ethiopian food
–Ethiopia Restaurant in Berkeley, different Ethiopian food in not as cool surroundings
–Jardiniere, bad service and uninspired food at this San Francisco landmark
–Shish Kebab, etc., middle eastern delivery in San Leandro
–Taqueria Guadalajara, not the best taqueria in town (San Leandro)
–The Much Box, a burger stand in Chatsworth with a long history
–Cha Cha Cha, a colorful Encino restaurant.
