El Camino is a fun dinner & drinks destination in downtown Fremont. They have great margaritas, good (not great) Mexican food, and a great deck out back (very sunny on summer evenings).
The decor is cozy urban, which I don't think is an actual term, but it makes sense for this restaurant. It is set in a former craftsman home, but has a light urban feel on the inside.
I've been told that the El Camino bar becomes a meat market on weekend evenings, although I have yet to witness it.

I've now been to Wasabi Bistro twice. They have great sushi, creative rolls and a good sake selection. It is a fun place to go with groups and is popular but rarely overcrowded.
The only downside with the place is that I think it is too cool for me. The staff have a NYC air of self-importance, which works in NY, but not in Seattle.
On one visit our table was lightly chastised by our waitress for setting the as yet unpaid bill down on the table (rather than leaving it upright). Small detail, but it characterized my experiences well.

There was a time when I was starry-eyed over the orange cavernous warehouses that have come to dominate metro areas. In fact, I thought they would drive all local hardware stores out of business.
I've since come to my senses, and come to really apprecicate the local hardware store - in particular Stoneway Hardware. They have just what you need for, well, your hardware needs. They have had everything I've needed everytime that I've visited.
I've also paid less than I would have at the big orange store. Their prices are competitive, and you can buy small hardware items (screws etc) by the piece rather than in 'packages'.
Now, if they'd just stay open longer... I think they close at 6 or something.

I've heard that Bonker's is a great place for children, and it is free (they will of course try to sell you pizza).

This restaurant serves some of the most incredible South Indian Food in the Bay Area (actually, best I've tried). Saravana Bhavan is very easy to miss. If you are headed the wrong direction on El Camino the sign is written in Hindi (I think).
Their focus is clearly on the food, and you are comforted to know that not a penny of your check is being spent on the decor.
On weekends, the parking lot fills with Indian families milling about waiting for a table. I don't think that there could be a stronger endorsement of the restaurant than that.

OK, so they don't take reservations for their outdoor patio, but Stephanie's is definitely one of the top destinations for outdoor dining.
Stephanie's boasts one of the largest patio's along Newbury St and is far enough down Newbury that you are just outside of the more frenetic Mass Ave end..
The food is good, although pricey, and their Onion Ring tower is a must try. On summer nights, the place can get really busy, and unfortunately they don't take reservations so you can't quite plan on taking guests there.

OK, so any restaurant at the corner of 35th and Fremont should be easy to find, but somehow Chiso is easy to overlook. They even have a gaudy sidewalk sign out front that says 'Sushi' and has an arrow pointing down to the restaurant.
The sushi is extremely good. The staff is warm and friendly, and the decor is comfortably urban. Highly recommended.

I've dropped my clothes at Eastlake cleaners several times, and well, they've come back clean. As a visitor, their ability to turn the clothes around same day was really welcom.
I have to admit that I was suprised when my flat-front pants (and shorts and jeans), came back with creases down the middle. They were clean, but II would expect a cleaners to know when to crease and when not to crease...

More of a bar than a lounge, Triangle Lounge is situated on the corner of 35th and Fremont. Several roads come together and form a triangle, and the triangle lounge occupies that space. There is a fair amount of outdoor seating, and the staff is friendly. The food is good (although it is typical unimaginative bar food). I haven't yet been there on a weekend night, but the atmosphere strikes me as one that would be a lot of fun.

Costas is located right smack of the middle in Fremont. The exterior is a bit dingy, and you'd never think that inside was a spacious well decorated interior , with nice, but somewhat tacky Greek memorabilia. I tried the Lamb Souvlaki which was quite good. The lamb pieces were succulent and tasty and not too fatty. Costas is definitely worth checking out when you want a change from the Thai-dominated eating district.
