you do know thats a chain, right?

We went in there a year or so ago.

Waiter: "Hey, where are you all from?"
Us: "Here."
Waiter: "No, really...."

I guess locals never go there. $9.95 for a shot of Patrón and a Fat Tire!

you're from Sacramento? Well, my favorite places over there are Mikoni's Sushi and not sure if Tapa's is still there on J St. Love that place.

There's one at Pier 39 in SF.

The food is ok, nothing spectacular (considering what else there is on Cannery Row...John Pisto owns quite a few restaurants down there).
