New Restaurants Galore

Background: Mountain View has a plethora of restaurants. New ones come and go, with thankfully the bad ones often disappearing the most quickly. Two recently opened across each other on a key corner downtown. One is uWink, which I think is kitschy and a fun concept, just still needing some iteration on the execution (my hypercritical and/or anti-tech tech friends, including colleagues I referred to it, give it less praise.) Another is Bodrum Cafe, which I finally got a chance to try. It has a lovely outdoor area, and offers reasonably priced, very high quality mediterranean cuisine. But it seems pretty empty still, and I worry about its chances. All this is a long preface to…

In my dream, I’m introducing Dan’s parents and sister to a new restaurant. They’re in town for their annual 2-week visit to California, which is usually a very fun experience, full of hiking, games, and food. We step onto a cablecar, which they love, and which then begins serving Greek food while going up and down the hills of San Francisco. They have a blast, while I desperately fight to keep my food on my lap despite the hills, and hope that the restaurant can realize they shouldnt drive so fast when serving to their patrons. Ha.
