Organic Find(s) Part 2

Since I live in the San Francisco area I’m very familiar with Bay Area restaurants. I apologize in advance if this list is San Francisco-centric, but since it’s a great place to visit (and do business) you may have an opportunity to check out several of these hot spots, even if you don’t live in the area.

Three of my favorite eateries are owned by the amazing Jesse Cool. Cool Café, located on the Stanford University campus inside the Cantor Center for the Arts, JZCool in downtown Menlo Park, and Flea Street Café also in Menlo Park.

The setting for the Cool Café is one-of-a kind. You can dine on an outdoor patio (weather permitting) over looking original Rodin sculptures. Great food with many organic dishes available and the settling will blow you away. It’s a little tough to find, but well worth the hunt -- 328 Lomita Drive, Palo Alto, CA 94305, They have limited hours of operation so call for hours and directions -- 650-725-4758.

JZCool was recently re-invented as a Jazz and small plates foodery. We attended the jammed-packed opening and hope to go back often for the great food and music. It’s located at 827 Santa Cruz Avenue, Menlo Park, CA 94025. Call for hours -- 650-325-3665.

Jessie’s fine dinning establishment is Flea Street Café, located at 3607 Alameda de las Pulgas Menlo Park, CA 94025. In case you don’t know "las pulgas" means "the fleas". Fortunately we’ve never seen fleas anywhere near The Flea Street Café", but we have had some amazing organic meals there. It’s and hour from our home, but my family took me there for my birthday last year – it’s that special! Call ahead for reservations -- 650 854-1226 and be sure to tell them Dr. Greene sent you.
