Late dinner in Palo Alto?

[Kim Cooper]

Hi -- we have a meeting in Palo Alto every third Friday, and it ends about 9 or 9:30, and then we gab a bit....
Is there a good, cheap to medium-priced restaurant open after 10? Either University area or -- well, the meeting is on East Charlston near Middlefield. Anything near there?
We like a variety of types of food, so any ethnicity is ok, but no pizza. (Am I the only person in the USA who doesn't like pizza?)
We've been eating at the Peninsula Creamery, which is great, but we'd like to widen our possibilities.

Hey, you can do a lot better in palo alto than 10. You've got a good selection serving until 11, and some until 12.

There's a middle eastern place on University, numeric name - something like 360, not far from PC - that serves late (11, maybe 12). It's not the best middle eastern in town, but does seem like a nice hang-n-gab kind of place. And cheap.

NOLA serves until 11 on friday, not exactly cheap. Since they're a bar they won't be kicking you out.

And, yes, you are the only American who doesn't like pizza.

Fayrouz on California Street is open until at least 10. I know that's not really late but then Palo Alto isn't Paris.

La Bodeguita Del Medio is close (on California Ave), has easy parking, and serves reasonably-priced Cuban food. The kitchen closes at 10; I'm not sure what this means -- I assume you are ok if you order before 10 -- but you can call to check. http://www.labodeguita.com/

Old Pro and Il Fornaio serve late. Was just chatting about this topic a few days ago.

What is "Old Pro"? and where?

There's two locations. One on El Camino b/t University and Cal Ave. and the other on Ramona off University. www.oldpropa.com
