They have been booked a week ago and have no > openings for dinner tomorrow until 8:30 PM which is way too late for us to > start eating. So then I phoned The Lark in the Funk zone, but they have no > tables available to seat 4 that are not already reserved for that night. > They only had 2 seats left available. > > I then phoned Santo Mezcal next to Hotel Indigo near Cabrillo Blvd. and the > ocean. They don�t take reservations for anyone. They have public parking > outside. They said to phone them about � hr. before we leave or want to eat > to find out how long a wait it might be. If that doesn�t work, at the last > moment we can go to the Public Market as there is always room and is not a > reservation type of place. You can eat the vegan food at Fala Bar there, and > the 3 of us can eat at one of the other restaurants there and then take our > food to a table for 4 in the center of the market to eat together. It�s not > fancy, but if you haven�t been there before, it�s kind of a fun casual > experience. > > I hope this is OK with you, as the best we could do under the circumstances, > unless you have any other ideas. > > Best, > > Gail > > http://www.cox.net/~g3
