Why oh Why is Marin so lacking in interesting eat places?
Ordered seafood salad which was lunch special - described as with crab and prawns - served with bay shrimp and the smallish 'prawns' and only 3 if I recall - (I questioned the server and they said they didn't have the crab that day -- I accepted anyway as I was hungry and it was healthiest option and I didn't have that much time) with very basic iceberg lettuce - no garnishes (cucumber, egg etc...) - and the bread was very mediocre --
Pinole - Trader Joe's opens
yes - where Tower Records was - rumor has it by Thanksgiving (although parking will be HUGE issue - and getting out of lot)
Why oh Why is Marin so lacking in interesting eat places?
Totally agree that Anna's blog is fabulous (writes WITH pictures almost every day)
I am a fan of Insalata's (San Anselmo) and had enjoyed Jason's when in odd location in San Rafael, tried once for lunch in new (what should be great) location in Greenbrae and was not impressed but will give another chance
Palo Alto Birthday Lunch Monday
Any new great, lovely places in Palo Alto (or nearby) for birthday lunch Monday? We've been to usual suspects: Four Seasons, Left Bank, Evvia...thoughts please.
Sat Yountville Breakfast?
Thanks to Chowhound I had found Gordon's was perfect for an early Saturday breakfast in Yountville...now that it is gone any other choice for omelette type breakfast (not just delicious pastry at Bouchon)? has to be open early (7:30ish) thanks.

breakfast near Walnut Creek
Crepevine in downtown WC-not sure about espresso but eggs/pancakes quite tasty
challah in the Tiburon or Bay Area
Noah's has on Fridays (in Marin Sausalito and Greenbrae)
Dining alone, Fri night in Union Sq
Downstairs is Out the Door which is a version of Slanted Door -- good and usually not too crowded
First time in SF and looking for some good breakfast spots.
Friday - your hotel's restaurant is great - Wild Mushroom scramble.mmmm....
or, Towns End - along the Embarcadero not far from the Gap
Weekend - Ella's - easy to get to either bus or cable car and walking
Lunch spots around the Embarcadero (other than Ferry Building)?
Try Butterfly on the Embarcardero - in between casual and business - not too busy at lunch and great view on nice day (my fav is chowder plate - both New England and Manhattan)
Lunch spots around the Embarcadero (other than Ferry Building)?
Reopened on Van Ness- Helmand Palace

Sourdough near Union Square
or you can freeze it in large pieces and thaw then toast when want to eat
Sunday Brunch in Sausalito/Tiburon
Sam's in Tiburon- same great view (inside or out) -- good brunch/lunch menu...crab omelette fabulous, lots of fresh crab
Vegie in Mill Valley
Toast in downtown Mill Valley makes a great veggie scramble (with tofu or eggs) -- other options too
SF romantic dinner for under $50 for two. Possible?
Baker street bistro - baker off Lombard might work -- can't guarantee vegetarian
