Nice. I’ll see if I can make it over. We lost Black Pepper (a different slice of Singapore but still) up in Menlo Park, which was on regular rotation.
In other PA news, UNION LOCAL seems shuttered despite its large street presence likely due to COVID spread among the staff - a poster on the door saying “for health reasons”.
RAMEN NAGI on sunday afternoon had a REALLY SERIOUS line; TUBA next door has also become some kind of outdoor club with live DJs.
ETTAN now has very large and very pleasant outdoor seating. It’s much more refined than a rickety table in the street, although I found the tables uncomfortably close-looking. Were willing to seat us for a 5pm open time so reservations might not be so hard to come by? We did takeout a bit ago and the food’s very good and interesting. One should not mention ETTAN without mentioning ROOH which also has a good size set of tables in the street. One being Indian-Californian and the other being Californian-Indian.
NOLA and CUPPA on ramona have also created a large street presence. Nola has some kind of outdoor bar made with a airstream-ish trailer. The number of tables isn’t huge though - nice spacing - so we didn’t eat there. OLD PRO isn’t open, but OSTERIA has a lot of tables, and WINE ROOM has quite a few, so Ramona street’s rather hopping. Cafe culture is coming back with VERVE having a huge spread in that corner-courtyard where the water flows through.
BEVRI is still near the top of our list. Ended up there after Union Local was unexpectedly closed and had an excellent meal - all appetizers - and our friends commented how much they liked it too. Basically just go for the dumplings and the cheezy bread and call it a meal
