8 year-old guest blogger reviews Scratch

Restaurant review (dictated by 8 year-old guest blogger):
Scratch
(401 Castro Street, Mountain View)

Scratch is a fairly new restaurant to Castro Street.  We knew one of the waiters from...dum dum dum!...(drum roll)...the *excellent* STANFORD CREAMERY!!!

I'll talk about why Scratch is so good and why you should go there:

• When you walk in, they greet you in a very friendly way.
• The service is very good, although it takes a long time for them to prepare the food.  But that's why it's so good!
• They advise you when you don't know what to order.
• It's very fancy, humongo, with high ceilings.
• The waiters are especially nice.
• It's pretty dim.  Good for a romantic evening!
• It has good food and some vegetarian food.  But if you are a vegetarian, don't order the Brussels sprouts, even if you like them, because they have bacon!
• It's warm inside.
• The menu is long enough - there are lots of choices (but maybe hard to decide what you want).
• The table setting is very fancy:

 

• If you ever go there, be sure to order the cheese plate.  If you like goat cheese, Pt. Reyes blue cheese, aged cheddar, or gouda, you're in luck!
• If you aren't a vegetarian, you might as well order the short ribs because they are AWESOME!!! 

I don't know if I got the message through to you, but this is a very good restaurant, if you ever go there.
