Lauri we were in Half Moon Bay yesterday and we froze our buns off. I wouldn't complain if I had frozen my waist off of course.My waist could sure stand to shrink a bit.
One of our cars is going to be in a classic car show at the Ritz Carlton the weekend before the brunch.

I wouldn't mind a bit if my buns froze off ;)
Any suggestions for a good lunch and dinner place? (or almost as importantly, where to avoid?)
Oh Suzanne...I like it DIM SUM!!

Navio at the Ritz Carlton is very good and very nice, with a great view.
For some good eatin' (a little cheesy and just a tad touristy but good eats just the same) is Barbara's Fish Trap...great place for crab...is in Princeton-by-the-Sea. Not much of a view other than the Princeton marina
Moss Beach distillery is a little more touristy and pricier than the Fish Trap, but the one time speakeasy has a resident ghost :) It is in Moss Beach (a thing to do once, and they have a great location/view!)

Thanks Robert
The place is really a blast particularly when you go with a group.We celebrate a lot of birthdays there.It might too much food and wine for one weekend though. Some of us have to go to work on Monday morning.

oops, maybe I jumped the gun <img border="0" alt="[c]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> I thought Suzanne's DIM SUM name was brilliant so I asked Karen to make it official. Sorry, newbie to group names mistake <img border="0" alt="[bang]" title="" src="graemlins/banghead.gif" /> I like Bette's Morrocan dinner idea, last time I had dinner at a Moroccan restaurant was about 20 years ago in Denver. I still remember all the great food, especially the bisteeya. Let me consult with my hostess.

El Mansour is a lot of fun! My only hesitation is that Lauri, Suzie, Marilyn and I will be spending the day in Napa Valley, and, not only do I not know what time we will be winding up our day, but what condition we will be in :pass: . I tried to come up with another version of DIM SUM as an acronym, but got stuck with Dominatrix as the first word. I don't think Karen would approve of that one in a poll <img border="0" alt="[c]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> . Yep, that would be the difference between a latte and Sauvignon Blanc.

There are 2 Yank Sings. There used to be 3 but one closed a few years ago.The one in Rincon Annex is the best. It is the largest and has parking right in the building. They validate I think.It does get crowded on a Sunday. As long as we keep stuffing in the food and drinking they shouldn't kick us out.

The one I was thinking of is in the lobby of an office building. Is that the one we have in mind?

From what I can tell, the Yank Sing we're looking at is in the office/Rincon center. You locals please correct me if I'm wrong.

Unless I heard wrong, it is the RinconCenter Yank Sing we are going to. Robert BTW Peter is in so confirm him too ;)
Who is calling to make the reservation?

Yep, that location.
Validated parking, close proximity to BART, equally close proximity to the wine bar at Ferry Plaza....
Editing to say, I am happy to make the reservation. Shall we keep it open and running until about 2 weeks before or book now?
