There are probably a few hundred restaurants "in the area". How did you narrow it down to two that didn't satisfy?

You left out San Bruno which is about as convenient as the other three and has lots of yummy options, and when I specify those, I get 333 restaurants! I get 60 just in Millbrae and with their large number of Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese/etc restaurants, I'm not surprised so many come up as group-friendly and inexpensive...

Did you by chance specify a rare cuisine or maybe "welcomes FlyerTalkers" button?

P.S. I added "Full Bar" and "Open 8pm Monday" and got it down to 22!

I have to say, I *loved* this place the one time we ate there:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/mingalaba-burlingame

I don't know if we can get in with a large group of unknown size, but maybe on a Monday night it'll be do-able...

Very near there is Kabul if people like Afghan - I haven't been to this location but I've been to the other two a few dozen times if not more...

Or is full bar a requirement? Some of these places are beer and wine only...

Reservations made for 12 at 6:30 under the name Raffles. They asked that we all arrive at the same time because there is another large party so it will be a competition for the best tables I guess.

Please put me down as a maybe. I just decided to take advantage of a last minute sale for this weekend and will be in the Bay Area Saturday to Tuesday, but I don't know my schedule yet. Hopefully I can make it though!
