We live in the Bay Area, so most of our dining is confined to this region, but on occasion we travel to other parts of the country. I thought I would share my impressions of the restaurants I visit in this page. Chain restaurants and those catering mostly to road travelers are listed in separate pages. Beware, however, that we are not likely to return to these places so the reviews may be outdated by the time you come across them. Also make sure to read our caveat.
