in the Castro:
pretty cheap
Thai Chef, http://www.thaichefsf.com/

Curry Boyzz, (Indian) http://curryboyzz.com/

Nirvana, (Asian fusion) http://nirvanarestaurant.net/

a little more expensive,
Chow (American, Italian, Asian) http://www.chowfoodbar.com/church_location.html

pricier
Starbelly, (California cuisine), http://www.starbellysf.com/

pricey
2223 (California cuisine), http://www.2223restaurant.com/




On Valencia near the Castro (a 10 minute walk)

Osha Thai, http://www.oshathai.com/2/

Fritz (fries, mussels, burgers, crepes, salads) http://www.frjtzfries.com/

Sunflower (Vietnamese) http://www.sunflowersf.com/

How many of us are there? At some of these places it will be hard to get a place for a large group on a Friday night. I like all of them, though Starbelly and 2223 are more expensive than what I'm used to paying for dinner. Give me some input Otherwise, we can just pick a meeting spot (say the Castro theater at 6:30 Friday night) and then decide where we want to go. And I don't mean to be doing all the planning, but it didn't seem like anyone else wanted to. I'm totally open to someone else planning it, but if not, I'll be happy to try to organize our Stevie dinner.

Kevin

Thanks so much! This is exactly what we needed!

If we were choosing solely off the name, we'd HAVE to go to FRITZ! I mean, cmon..is that not fitting or what?!?!

But seriously, I'm game for anywhere as long as it's not ALL sushi.

Crabs mean the world to me! Lmao! Just putting that out there! Maybee I'll have crabs for lunch and meet yall for dinner lmao!

Haha, I didn't even think of that. It's actually a play on the French word "Frites", as in "pommes frites" aka French fries

As for crab, I don't know if this will satisfy your crab urge, but the Thai places all have crab cakes.

So how are we going to decide? You guys just want to meet at the Castro Theater at 6:30 and go from there?

Kevin

[fumidesigns]

Well Kevin I will eat crabs for lunch if I have to! Woohoo!!!!!!!

That works. And if for some reason I'm delayed, Mimi will keep me posted. Maybe we can get an approximate headcount.

[LilyRose]

Well I have to pick up a friend in Union Square at 8 pm Friday, but we can meet up with you all after that, wherever you end up.

[pattyfan]

Later is fine with me. If you want to meet at 8:30 or 8:45 at the Castro Theater, that is fine too.

Can we do this? Whoever wants to meet for dinner, please post here and say which time (6:30 or 8:45) is better for you. Also, please say how many of you there will be. Thanks.

Hi Kevin, thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated. Something Friday evening sounds promising. My partner Shawn & I would most likely be interested? To hone in on the time-frame, is it generally easier to get in these restaurants @6:30 or 8:30-ish?? Good Thai or Indian sound good. Do you know of any good Mexican restaurants that also serve sea food?

As an aside, a friend mentioned the Boom Boom Room/jazz/blues club is not to be missed, near the Fillmore, do you know/have any first hand knowledge?

Hello! Sorry to butt in, there is a great place called Nopalito, that is off Divisadero & Fell. They have great food & margaritas. It's kind of an upscale Mexican place, but the food is excellent. I went there with a friend for lunch a week ago, and loved the food. I would recommend an earlier dinner-6:30 because it can get pretty crowded & I dont believe they take reservations.

[Amlyn]

We could plan an earlier time for dinner and a later time for drinks.

I'd prefer an earlier dinner...only cause I'm along with a few others will still be on east coast time. I hope to nap a little before lining up as well.

[pattyfan]

I just checked Nopalito's menu. I don't mean to be a pain in the butt, but I'm vegetarian, and there were only two appetizerish options and no main dish options for vegetarians. Plus I think people are hoping to stay in the Castro. I think that the easiest thing is to just go for Thai. There are two good places, one of which I listed, neither of which will be difficult to get a table at if we go earlish or latish. Or, if we are going to be a big group, I can make a reservation. So far there are more people opting for early. Maybe the people who can't come early can meet for drinks? Also, if we have dinner at 6:30, you can take a cab and be at Union Square in 10-15 minutes, so you could have dinner with us and maybe leave slightly early to meet your friend. Or, there could be an earlier dinner group and a later drink group. What do you all think?

Kevin

[Somajoseph]

Kevin,
Who knew you were a vegetarian? I was simply trying to make a better than average option to Christopher who asked about a good Mexican place. Nopalito is not in the Castro, but it's a 20 minute walk or 5 minute cab ride, so it wasnt out of the question.
Have a great time everyone!

[pattyfan]

Joseph, I appreciated your input I hope you're coming to the dinner. You are right, I never mentioned that I'm vegetarian. See you Friday?

Kevin
