Looking for THAT restaurant in San Francisco and question about Healdsburg

For a casual Italian place in SF, I love Bar Bambino. Great menu, great service, knowledgable waitstaff, have never felt rushed there.

Bar Bambino

Looking for three suggestions - dinner w/parents, romantic Berkeley bar, and Union Square weekday breakfast

For the Berkeley bar, A Cote is your best bet, even though it is in Oakland! You can make reservations on Open Table; great food, great service, and romantic atmosphere.

Perfect Sunday in Raleigh or around there?

My sister, mom and I are going to be in Cary for a wedding this weekend, and have all day Sunday to spend together before we fly back to California early in the evening. What is your perfect food/activity day for a group like us? I'd like to taste some really good local, farm to table-type food, and walk around a nice area (local quirky shopping? Gardens? not really sure). Any suggestions would be very welcome!!

Baking in Candy Cups

If you are talking about the white paper ones, I do it all the time -- mini cupcakes. It works just fine, and the papers have never burned. I got the idea off of a blog that was about cupcakes awhile back, not sure if it is still around. She used only those cups.

Does good butter matter? If so, what to get in San Francisco?

Try President's Butter -- available at Berkeley Bowl and at Andronico's. It is French butter, and although it is quite run-of-the-mill in France, it is still pretty good.

Looking for good dinner spot pre-theater at Berkeley Rep.

To be sure, there is not much that is as good as Five within walking distance, but we often go to Corso on Shattuck (if you don't mind a long walk). They are usually pretty quick, and the food is so good.

Penelope in Oakland?

Anyone eat at Flame in Berkeley yet?

Anyone been to Corso lately?

We are planning on grabbing dinner before the theatre tonight and wondering:

2. Can we get out of there by 7:40?
3. Food still as good?

Thanks for any updates!

Chinese Restaurant in Rockridge?

Has anyone been to the Chinese restaurant in Rockridge across from Market Hall? I can't remember the name -- it used to be Becky's or something. Is it any good?

Does anyone know where I can get a Vietnamese crepe (I think it is called "moon crepe") in Oakland? I recall getting in in SF at Sai's Restaurant (in the financial district), but cannot find it in Oakland (or Berkeley).

Thanks.

Has anyone been to the restaurant across the street from B in Old Oakland (on Washington next to Rattos)? (I don't know what it is called...)
