I dunno what company it is. But right behind the valet parking there is a huge parking lot, the only thing seperating that parking lot from the valet one is some bushes but there are walk ways. I always park my car there because I dont like the valet parking over there. And there is plenty space for us to all park there for sure, just and idea.
It's the Apple parking lot. You can get away with parking there (I used to do it a lot) but if the security guy sees you, he'll bitch and moan and call the tow car, then huff and puff and blow your house down.

Oh yeah if you guys are doing something in Cupertino, there's a decent Chinese place called Loon Wah near where De Anza hits the 85. They have Mandarin and Cantonese dim sum all day (they make it to order) and also a full bar so faces can be boozed off.

tried it more or less on opening week for BJ's and got caught and yelled at...then gave in for them to valet the car.

i can dish up a storm for chinese restaurant suggestions if people are open to it. figure i'd satisfy the alcoholics of s2ki before i satisfy the tokin white guys who think they're chinese

with that said, if a brewery is what y'all want, there's tied house in downtown mtn view right off central around 101/237 area that's pretty good.

thoughts?

I am Chinese.... well um... I dated a Chinese chick at least. But I dishonor her family so I guess I back to whitey status again.

But far be it for me to dictate where we eat... especially if the restaurant is named BJ (there are only waitresses there right? no waiters???).

just realized a snag.....they ONLY do valet parking.....technically, we can park in the plaza across the street where the outback is and walk over.....but then it'd be a sort of misplaced parking too.

thoughts?
If it's not busy (usually weeknights), you can just drive past the valet and take an empty spot. I've done that before. But, don't bank on that fact. Otherwise, you park on the street and walk a couple blocks over.

Hong Fu is good. It's actually owned by the family of a girl I went to high school with.

Loon Wah is ok. That one is owned by my friend's family.

Hunan Gourmet is awesome (no relation to this one)
