Good choices and variety for Vegetarians. Tandoori Chicken was good, not too spicy. Dishes were too creamy, suitable for dieters. Appetizers include Chaat items. Service was prompt.

The Tied House is a good bet, day or night. Nothing is better than The Tied House downtown San Jose on a Friday afternoon during the Farmers Market. The food is excellent, the beer is great and the people watching is priceless!

We went there for lunch. We are big foodies and especially love gourmet seafood recipes. This place does it right. The tartar appetizer with salmon and hamachi was dreamy -- seriously! I will be dreaming about that one and coming back for it. My husband had the Petrale Sole -- healthy portion size, beautiful buerre blanc. I also had the Chicken Teriyaki Wrap (don't know why) and it was pretty tasty, but I wouldn't order that again. I should have tried something else. Most of the tables around us were ordering burgers -- they must be good there. And, the place was packed. What's interesting about the wine list: they have half bottles! I wish more places would do that. The half-bottle was made for restaurants. However, the red wine list is quite poor. We had to order a white while we'd normally order a red. We'll bring our own next time. The service was friendly, but a bit slow. Took us 15mins to get our bottle of wine. But, we'll forgive that as they were very busy. Oh, and another note: The waiter (Carlos) was really sweet, but he immediately reviewed the tip of each bill he picked up and would banter with the other waiters about it. The table next to us obviously left a small tip and he appeared to be ripping on them from the servers station --pointing them out to other waiters. We left a nice tip and he made a point to come up to us as we left and thank us. That's so cheesy. Waiters should really be more professional about the whole gratuity thing. Such a turn off. But, I'm ranting... that was a small issue in comparison to how great the food was. We look forward to coming back and trying some other items.
Pros: Great food! Does seafood right! Adequate portions!
Cons: Service is questionable, but we will try them again

The Milk Pail Market is a great little grocery store in Mountain View. It is located near Albertsons and Ross and is across the street from Safeway. You can find tons of great stuff at the Milk Pail Market, including fruits and veggies, ice cream, any many different kinds of European treats. I absolutely love the fruits and veggies they have there because there are all sooo extremely delicious and yet they are cheaper than basically anywhere, even Safeway and Albertsons! It is truly amazing. The interior isn't the nicest but I love it anyways!

For "fresh mex" this place is great! Good portions for price, staff is always very nice & even though they usually call out your # for you to p/u your order, many times they'll take it directly to you. Their burittos & tacos are yummy & they've got good avocado "salsa".
Pros: Food, Prices, Parking
Cons: none

This is a very nice health food store--albeit small. Bumble Bee Health Foods is on Escuela Ave. in Mountain View. They have most of the usual health food store items--but no produce. Very friendly service. They are VERY knowledgeable about vitamins and health foods and health in general, and the owners are IN the store--and are very nice. They have the hard-to-find stuff like Tofutti Sour Supreme--a soy sour cream substitute that tastes as good as the real thing. Their prices are a little high, but I like to patronize them often just because I believe in supporting small businesses, and this is an excellent store.

After a great birthday weekend, I found my favorite wool slacks covered in unspeakable substances. I was recommended this place by a friend but was skeptical if they were going to be able to remove the stains. In simply a two day turnaround they were able to give me back my previously vomit stained slacks in pristine condition. The service was very professional and cordial as well. The prices though were very moderate when compared to other local dry cleaners. I paid around $6 for dry cleaning of my wool slacks. No buttons missing or any other damage as some cleaners tend to claim no responsibility for these damages. I definitely recommend coming here for your every day dry cleaning.

We were looking for Goggles and Costumes for Burning Man and the Mountain View Surplus seemed to have many of the things we're looking for.
MV Surplus is an army/navy surplus store that stocks all the random military and camping stuff you need.
Some of the burning man items we found: goggles (they have a great selection) to keep the dust out during the crazy playa dust storms, flasks (also a great selection) for all the partying you want to do, random kinds of flashlights, MREs and other freeze-dried food, ponchos, and best of all: flight suits of all different sizes and materials that you can wear out on the playa.
Overall, a great selection, and the prices are extremely resonable.
