Rangoon Restaurant
Mar 20, 2007
Downtown Chinese/ Burmese place not to be missed
Top rate place where I am never disapointed. Have not had too many experiences with Burmese food, but everything here has been fantastic. See below for favorites. I came here with a group of 12 friends who had never been before and all of them raved about my choice! DO NOT pass up the coconut rice!

go there for the salads!
I know, I know. It’s California PIZZA Kitchen, but I swear the best things on their menu are the salads and starters.
-
BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad
I usually order the half-sized salad for lunch…it is delicious. The ingredients are perfect: Chopped lettuce, black beans, sweet corn, jicama, cilantro, basil, crispy corn tortilla strips and Monterey Jack cheese tossed together in a garden-herb ranch dressing. Topped with chopped BBQ chicken breast, diced tomatoes and scallions. It’s kinda healthy, crunchy and flavorful.

sit and the bar and enjoy
The owners Ewa and Masa will take very good care of you here. Just sit at the bar ask them for their suggestions, and you will be happy. Wonderful sake selection, unique first courses look like a French chef was preparing them. Best sushi on the peninsula in a very casual setting.

all soufle all the time
so many choices of soufle, it was hard to decide. my date and i chose a savory and a sweet and had a difficult time finishing the wonderful food. the room is very small with few tables; the service is great and not hovering, which allows you to enjoy every spoonful. a great treat of a place that will certainly get my repeat business.

best kept secret in palo alto
you can’t go wrong when ordering at this lovely restaurant. the food is beautiful and wonderful. the menu changes often, and the 4 or 5 times i’ve been for birthday/anniversary type dates have all left me wanting to come back again and again.

awesome atmosphere, good apps
go for drinks and apps at the crowded bar, or on a nice evening, sit in the open air part of the restaurant. great place for a first-date – with lots to distract you! The spicy food is good, or try the salads, if you don’t love cajun.

Iberia Restaurant
Feb 2, 2007
great tapas and sangria
I love sitting at the old school bar and munching on tapas and sipping sangria. See the list below for some great tapas choices. Funny thing: This place was formerly a British place a while ago and you might find some thing on the tapas menu that reflect that. Be warned that this restaurant adds a 19% service charge to ALL checks not just large parties.

"deviled dates" filled w/ chorizo and bacon-wrapped
excellent bite of heaven
-
warm cheddar cheese scones
you can’t eat enough of these tiny scones that are a throw-back to the time this place was a british pub-style restaurant

great mexican takeout in Downtown PA
I’m a native Texan always on the lookout for decent authentic Mexican food. While I don’t love everything on the menu, and the rice and beans aren’t exactly like my mom makes, this place is not bad. I repeatedly come here for my favorite dish: the Chicken Salad (also reviewed). It’s just good.
-
Mesquite Chicken Salad
Perfectly seasoned chicken on a bed of greens w/ avocado, goat cheese and tomatoes w/ a vinagrette…eating pretty healthy should always be this good!
