I am relatively new to the area, living in Downtown Oakland. Friends are coming up from LA and have an early evening, return flight. We want to have a delish, filling late lunch. Really, anything but Mex or Chinese. We want to sit and enjoy, have cocktails or wine............... All recs. are welcome. BTW, we are using public transport (I have a 2-seater which doesn't work for 3!)

looking for the BEST PIZZA in Santa Rosa
PickyZaEater and I finally got over to LaVera, last night. Mikee liked it!!! Applause.
We had a Mushroom Mania on one side, plain old cheese on d'other side. Flavor was XLNT, love that they sprinkle fresh basil on the pie. Only one complaint, we asked for a well done pie and the crust was still a wee bit too underdone, for us. End result, too wet pie, making it tough to fold and eat. HOWEVER, it was damn good. We'll be back. As an aside,PickeyZaEater (x NYer) told the female owner that she was one of the best dressed women he has seen in Santa Rosa in the 2 yrs that we're here! I'm the other one:)
what's your favorite Chinese restaurant in SF?
I don't do the pork thing, this tan tan was delish.......................

Thanks again, would love to get your recs in the future. On our way back thru SF to get home to Sonoma County, we stopped at Amici's on Lombard. Their pie was AWFUL, we sent it back. My darling man is a former NYer and loves Village, do you have a preference?
what's your favorite Chinese restaurant in SF?
I would guess Yes. They have a very accommodating kitchen.

thanks so much for the most xlnt rec. We loved it. Got a prime parking place, walked down to Z&Y. Following y'r rec., my guy had the sliced pork (I don't eat the piggy) and LOVED/Devoured it. He never had ordered anything like that. The TanTan noodles were delish, I wanted more++. Eggplant rocked, now in 2nd place next to my fave in LA (Hop Li) & the szechuan chicken was perfect for our palates. Got on a plane to Upstate NY nicely sated. THANK YOU
what's your favorite Chinese restaurant in SF?
Z&Y could b the ticket. thanks so much - I'll let u know what we had, once we've had it. is there any great street food on Wed??
what's your favorite Chinese restaurant in SF?
he's a NYer, so NY style - hunan/szechuan - no MSG and must have spicy eggplant

Catching a flight to Upstate NY and we have plenty of time for dinner - we don't get into SF too often and are craving GREAT Chinese. Looking for your recs.
Between Bradley Int'l. and Clifton Park, NY
We are landing at Bradley approx. 9 AM - we'll be starving. Where should we stop, on our way to Clifton Park for a great b'fast/brunch? Don't need cocktails, but do need the good eats.

No parameters, just looking for a very cool place to eat and drink, weather permitting - al fresco. Please make suggestions.....................
Sunday in the City on a Budget
I suppose I should clarify 'budget'. We need to keep the day at or around $130.00, for the 2 of us. Reality, cocktails are not as important as the chow.
Sunday in the City on a Budget
looking for the yummiest recs. we love the spice, make it ethnic - we're happy campers. and I've got a craving for seafood pot pie (anyone). It's my birthday, we're talking both lunch and dinner. We really don't care which 'hood just make it good. Great cocktails and killer dessert would be A+.
we know the way but don't know where to eat in San Jose
we ended p at Taiwan on Lincoln, for dinner on Friday night. Very, very good. Just the right flavor, nice portions, good presentation, very nice dining room and we were seated almost immediately. The ex-patriot NYer was pleasantly surprised! We have a favorite Chinese eatery in of course several in NY. There is nothing in Santa Rosa (we've tried) and Taiwan is a must to go back to.
we know the way but don't know where to eat in San Jose
heading down to he San Jose area on Friday to clean our blood at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. Living in Santa Rosa we are craving Asian food. What do you suggest in the San Joe area???? Friday and Saturday night. We want to ENJOY TO THE MAX.
looking for the BEST PIZZA in Santa Rosa

Saratoga Springs for 2 nights
we are staying at Fox N Hounds for 2 nights and looking for the best recs you have for tastey, spicey meals (lunch and dinner). We would love to eat where the fruit and produce are locally grown, if possible. As Californians we're used to bringing our own - any eateries that will let us bring in our own wine? This short trip isn't until June 15, so we have a little time. Merci
looking for recs on unpretentious V'day dinner
We want to go out on the 14th, but don't want to be in a situation where the service is awful and the ambiance suffers. Anywhere between LaBrea and the Ocean is perfect. Please help!

Interstate 40 going West
Please help us - we are driving out of Norfolk, VA and taking 40 all the way to L.A. Well, 40 to 10. We want to have great road food, but don't bother with TX tips. We won't spend money in TX! We leave on the the 3rd April, so there's time for all your suggestions. There is no schedule, so we can plan according to meals:) Thanks.....
