We have a reservation for Thursday night, 7-10PM, at the Baker's Square 
restaurant in Redwood City. That's at 949 Veterans Blvd., not too far from 
Whipple Avenue and 101. To get there, exit 101 at Whipple, go west, take 
the first left onto Veterans Blvd. and look for the restaurant after that 
street begins to curve to the left (and just before the Kaiser-Permanente 
complex.) Any of the map sites will show it.

    The phone number is (650) 367-8666. They say they do not charge a 
gratuity as long as we order from the menu.

    I also looked at Marie Callendar's in Los Altos (no meeting room) and 
Hobee's in Palo Alto (meeting room cannot be closed off -- it's noisy). The 
Hobee's manager there told me that the one in Belmont/Redwood Shores has a 
better meeting room. I gave them a call, and verified that. However, since 
they cater to the day workers in those bayside office towers, they are open 
only until 2:30 PM. But the manager there said the Sunnyvale Hobee's (near 
Mathilda and 101) has a suitable meeting room. Could someone give them a 
call? (Number is below.)

    It's my understanding that CoCo's is out of the picture since the 
remaining one in Sunnyvale is booked up and the San Jose North First Street 
location has a meeting room that won't suit us. Carrows has no meeting 
rooms, AFAIK.

    I could use some help checking out these other possibilities:

    BAKER'S SQUARE (http://www.bakerssquarerestaurants.com/)
        * 2910 El Camino Real, Santa Clara (408) 984-5433
        * 174 W. Calaveras Blvd., Milpitas (408) 262-4683

    HOBEE'S (http://www.hobees.com/)
        * 680 River Oaks Plaza, San Jose (408) 232-0190
        * 800 Ahwanee Avenue, Sunnyvale (408) 524-3580 <---
        * 1101 Shoreway Road, Belmont (650) 596-0400

    MARIE CALLENDAR'S (http://www.mcpies.com/)
        * 790 West Winton Avenue, Hayward (510) 783-4469
        * 333 South Abbot Street, Milpitas (408) 263-7437
        * 780 South Winchester Blvd., San Jose (408) 243-9018
        * 20750 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino (408) 255-2317
        * 751 El Camino Real, Sunnyvale (408) 245-3710

    If someone could call and find out their meeting room status, that 
would expedite things. Also, if anyone knows of a "local" that's well-
situated, reasonably priced and has a suitable meeting room, please advise 
the list. Or another chain -- John Cletheroe's list might jog some memories 
(it did mine):
