As I've said before in this newsgroup (to some opposition), I'm rather fond of this place, especially because of the atmosphere, but also because they provide a very respectable breakfast, one of the best on the mid-peninsula. > The country brunch menu has a number of variations on egg, pancake and > waffle themes.

My favorite regular item is the Swedish oatmeal pancakes with lingonberry sauce. By the way, the weekday menu offers more choice, more flexibility, and slightly lower prices (but without the very nice basket of muffins, etc. provided for the weekend brunch). It's interesting that until a few years ago there was a very similar (and similarly named) restaurant in La Jolla; at one time, it was even run by members of the same family, I believe. > > The Redwood Cafe and Spice Company > 1020 Main Street > Redwood City > 415-366-1498 By the way, I do tend to agree with a poster on another topic that the best moderately priced breakfast places in Palo Alto and vicinity (at least the best I've found) are not up to the best available in Berkeley (Bette's alone is practically worth the trip). But I do find places like TRCaSC and Late for the Train worth an occasional visit, and usually quite satisfying. Al Eisner ([email removed]) San Mateo County, CA
