Roderick's BBQ & Seafood

2300 1st St
Livermore, CA 94550

Asian Rose Cafe

514 Front St
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Greycella L. writes: I always knew that this place was too good to be true. In a sea of overpriced EVERYTHING, this tucked away place was serving up mounds of tastiness. Nowhere else could you get this kind of bang for your buck- for five dollars you'd get enough food to…

Kaygetsu

325 Sharon Park Dr
Ste A2
Menlo Park, CA 94025

Irene S. writes: Kaygetsu will either be one of the most:

(a) eternally searing, long-suffering 2-4 hours of your god-forsaken life; or
(b) delightfully exquisite, palette-exhilarating adventures to which you hope there is no end.

While the odds are greatly in favor…

Chavez Supermarket

Sunnyvale, CA 94085

In fact this place is so legit that I ran into the Chupacabra here on his lunch break.

He's actually not a bad guy once you get past the whole demonic goat deal.

We're having drinks on Thursday.

Highly recommend the carnitas here.…

Woodside, CA 94062

So we pull up to…

Barefoot Coffee Roasters

5237 Stevens Creek Blvd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

van ness d. writes: I love coffee. I love the jittery "Oh-my-God-I feel-like-a-crackhead" buzz you get when you have some strong-ass coffee. When I went, I ordered the 'All-nighter' (not because I had to pull one or anything, I just like my coffee chock full o'…

I read reviews on Shuei Do prior to my visit and went straight to the Bank of…

Sweet Passions Bakery

1512 Alum Rock Ave
San Jose, CA 95116

Jane L. writes: The problem with buying the smallest cake was that we only had four mouths to feed. 8" cake that's 6" high. For four people. Pretty insane.

We ordered a fresh banana creme cake online. You can customize the filling, cake, decoration color,…

Los Gatos Meats & Smoke House

575 University Avenue
Los Gatos, CA 95032

The sandwiches are off…

Los Gatos Cafe

Los Gatos, CA 95030

Connie C. writes: I met up with my friends, who I'd say are the equivalent to Brangelina - the HOTTEST couple, with the most adorable 18 mo. old hapa daughter - for Mother's Day brunch. Since my mom is in Taiwan, I wanted to treat another one of my favorite mommies…

Vasili's Greek Restaurant

1501 Mission St # A
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

debbie h. writes: Let me start off by mentioning that I am going through this Med/Greek food kick. IT seems that it's all I ever crave. I dream about the next dolma I will devour. Speaking of which, does anyone know who is making all these dolmas we see in every…

Evvia Estiatorio

420 Emerson St
Palo Alto, CA 94301

Kevin S. writes: It's always interesting to see how siblings vary. Kokkari, Evvia's svelte, atmospheric sister in San Francisco, is all about the little black dress and come hither looks. She seduces you. Evvia on the other hand feels more like the brainier sister…

Lucy's Tea House

180 Castro St
Mountain View, CA 94041

Falling apart wicker furniture, books…

I ate here with a very diverse party, that included a vegetarian, a veggie-phobe carnivore, a salt-eschewing-blood-pres sure-watcher, a thirsty lush... you name it. The food is amazing, and I was very surprised to see how good…

Vive Sol Restaurant

2020 W El Camino Real
Mountain View, CA 94040

Archie R. writes: Ever notice that Mexican restaurants walk a VERY fine line with their ingredients? The line they walk is between getting a REALLY good meal or getting explosive diarrhea. Totally gross but think about it. It's one or the other. You go home with a…

Nijiya Market

143 E El Camino Real
Mountain View, CA 94040

Kaz S. writes: 5 stars! It's a great Japanese supermarket that's open till 10pm which is excellent as you can shop after those long day of work.

Sushi Masa

5363 Camden Ave
San Jose, CA 95124

Ken K. writes: Thanks to Alice Y for this find!

22 year old restaurant Sushi Masa is in one of those typical "non descript suburban strip malls" just a few minutes off the 85 on Camden Ave. The restaurant name lettering design may be a visual turnoff especially if…

Stan's Donut Shop

2628 Homestead Rd
Santa Clara, CA 95051

Cafe Brasil

1410 Mission St
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Melody K. writes: I wasn't very excited to visit Cafe Brasil for Sunday brunch. I thought it would probably serve overrated, strangely spiced food, and the crowds of people waiting for a table at this tiny joint made me wish we'd gone to Denny's instead. Well, I'm…

Manresa Restaurant

320 Village Ln
Los Gatos, CA 95030

Cynthia C. writes: Manresa left me disenchanted for the most part.

I posted the photos to give you a pictorial of my evening.

50 Ranch Dr
Milpitas, CA 95035

Palo Alto, CA 94303

Dick's Bakery

1593 Meridian Avenue
San Jose, CA 95125

jessie k. writes: in my book if you don't like burnt almond cake from dick's, it basically means you are a picky, giant pain in the ass. oh and it also means you're not an american and probably trafficking weapons for al qaeda.

there are no pretenses here, the bakery…
