first the drinks: i had an “old havana” and a “dunlop”. both were rum drinks but very different. the old havana was slightly sweet and very smooth. the dunlop was much stronger and felt like something i’d want to drink next to a fireplace. both drinks were expertl...

as pretty much everyone else says, if you’re a foodie you have to go to french laundry at least once. the food is amazing and the service is impeccable. just be prepared to spend a fortune.

we came here just for drinks, so i don’t know how the food is. the beer menu however is quite impressive. broken up by style of beer, it includes a large selection of belgian, german, and american bottled beers, along with beers from elsewhere (british, new zealand, canadian, etc.). they...

pseudo outdoor restaurant (you’re outside but under a huge tent/tarp). we went for brunch and the food was pretty good. there was also a guy playing live blues.

pluto’s basically does two things: made-to-order salads and made-to-order sandwiches. everything is fresh and the service is quick. there’s a good variety of ingredients, though i could see myself getting tired of the same things if i came here often.

Mamoun’s is great for 2 reasons: it’s cheap and it’s open till 5 am, which makes it perfect for a late-night, post-drinking snack. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the food is actually good. The pita sandwiches and plates are made the way you’d expect from any Midd...

This place totally lives up to the hype. I’ve never had Chicago-style pizza, so I can’t compare on that front, but Zachary’s stuffed pizza is really good and extremely filling. We got a small for 2 people and were only able to finish half of the pizza! It does get v...

Since I don’t eat burgers, I can’t speak to Bongo Burger’s main meal (though reviews from friends are mixed). However, their chicken wraps are great! I pretty much lived on Bongo Burger chicken for my last two years at Berkeley.

This is the only ice cream place selling gelato that I’ve found on the Peninsula so far. It’s decent, but doesn’t even come close to real gelato.

Tres Potrillos is another non-descript stripmall taqueria. It is quite spacious and has lots of tables to sit at. Despite its meager looks though, the food is fresh and tasty. Between some chicken tacos, carnitas, beef burritos, and flautas, everyone was very happy with their meals. The tacos ...
