Ever found a good dining-for-miles restaurant?
I thought it could be useful to start a list of the restaurants in these programs that are worth dining at so that when we're away from home we might seek them out. (Of course, good restaurants have a knack for dropping out of the programs, so who knows if this will be of any use.)
The two good ones I know of probably won't be too useful to many on this board. Anyone make visits to Bishop Ranch and Hacienda Business Park? Anyway they are ...
Basil Leaf Cafe, Hartz Ave., Danville, CA
Good pastas in a comfortable setting.
Cafe Caruso, 500 Bollinger Canyon, San Ramon, CA
Lots of pastas; friendly, attentive staff.
Santa Fe Grill in Berkeley isn't bad either.
BTW, I didn't make this airline specific as I'm under the impression these programs are all administered by the same company and include the same restaurants. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.
