Savvy Cellars is opening a new wine bar in the train depot building.

Wine bar finally opens in train depot By Daniel DeBolt

fter eight years of vacancy a business is finally opening this week inside the replica of Mountain View’s 1888 train depot downtown — Savvy Cellar wine bar. After the owners sought use of the site for three years, Redwood City-based Savvy Cellar was selected by the City Council last year to take up the 1,100 square foot space next to the transit hub at the end of Castro Street. The wine bar will also use portions of Centennial plaza for outdoor seating.

“There is a semi-circle out front with seating for 40 people, umbrellas and heaters,” said coowner Jennifer Ayre. “We had 40 out there last night for our first event (for Savvy Cellar members on Sunday evening). It was exciting to be a part of helping to enliven the plaza.” Savvy Cellar’s official ribbon cutting for the City Council and Chamber of Commerce was set for Wednesday night, but downtown residents were invited to an early opening celebration for the wine bar May 17. The wine bar opens for regular business at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 20, Ayre said.

The company plans to sell wine by the bottle and serve wine and light food, including cheese and cured meats. The train depot location will employ six part-time employees, four of whom also work at Savvy Cellar’s Redwood City location. Despite the small space, the train depot will be the company’s new headquarters because Ayre and co-owner Brent Harrison live in Sunnyvale near Mountain View’s border. Ayre said their kids attend Mountain View schools and the married couple is excited See WINE BAR, page 14

City Council supports-three story condos at 333 Rengstorff By Daniel DeBolt

he City Council gave thumbs up to a high-density condo project last week after a developer spent years improving on a previously rejected proposal for condos on the Rengstorff Avenue site. “Of all the plans we’ve seen this has been most compatible” with the neighborhood, said Council member Laura Macias, who has usually been one of the council’s biggest opponents of high-density housing. Macias and the rest of the council made supportive comments about the project during the May 11 study session for three-story condos at 333 Rengstorff Avenue. The only

real concern expressed by the council was the loss of dozens of trees at the site because of its underground parking garage. Two large redwoods would be saved. Macias made her comment after several neighbors spoke against the project, saying that adding more residents, even with more than two parking spaces per unit, would add to the street’s already significant parking problems. They also said the buildings would be massive compared to neighboring apartments. But the project’s architect spoke passionately about the project, saying that neighbors would be able look over their fences and see landscaping instead of apartment building walls like they do now.

Reducing the density of it would make the project financially unfeasible, he said. If approved, the 1.7 acre site would eventually have two new three-story condo buildings and a total of 64 units, most of which would be one-bedroom or “entry level” for-sale housing. The 333 Rengstorff artist rendering site is now home to a 32-unit, two-story apartSeveral years ago the council rejected a ment complex, which city staff said would higher density proposal for condos at the site be likely to fall in an earthquake because of that would have created a large building with its soft-story design. units accessed through internal hallways.

ground-level parking lot that took up much of the site. That change was supposed to improve access into and around the site, but council members were not pleased. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at this and I think â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Where would I want to walk?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Bryant said, later adding that the design looked â&#x20AC;&#x153;disjointedâ&#x20AC;? and that the buildings looked â&#x20AC;&#x153;plonkedâ&#x20AC;? in place. Council member Tom Means said he could be counted as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;underwhelmedâ&#x20AC;? group as well. The four other council members were more supportive of the plan, including Council member John Inks. But Inks learned just before

the meeting that he had to abstain because of the proximity of his home to the shopping center, effectively creating a 3-3 deadlock. After the meeting, Inks said he would have supported the project because it is realistic, considering the sort place the rest of the 56-acre shopping center is. Inks said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;with Walmart and Kohls there, you are not going to be able to attract the high-end tenantsâ&#x20AC;? that would be required for the pedestrian friendly, Santana Row-type development that most council members would like in Mountain View. The entire council had nothing but praise for Merlone Geierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to turn the Hetch-Hetchy right of way at the north end of the project

into a sort of main street and greenbelt with park space and outdoor seating. The San Francisco Public Utilities-owned property bisects the shopping center and cannot have buildings above it because the peninsulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main water supply runs in a large aqueduct underneath it. Five acres that Merlone Geier owns north of the Hetch-Hetchy right of way were left out of the latest plans, which also concerned council members who wanted to visualize pedestrian and car travel through the area. Several council members brought up Santa Rowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple grid of streets in San Jose as a model to be followed. V

over loudspeakers. The city has decided that the winning combination includes egg addling, dog chasing and draining and filling the golf course ponds with dirt. A state permit allows the goose eggs to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;addled with oilâ&#x20AC;? to kill them, and as a result the population of geese at the park went from 490 birds to 340 over the last two years. By filling the ponds with dirt, the city also hopes to offset the anticipated loss of burrowing owl hunting grounds at the park. The ground-dwelling owl has been declining county-wide and 14 were last counted at Shoreline Park, which appears to be one their last-best places of refuge. The Santa Clara Audubon Society has opposed a plan to build baseball and soccer fields south of the Shoreline golf course on a site where the owls like to hunt for mice, voles and insects at night. The dirt-filled ponds could be populated with owl prey to offset that loss, city staff said. Owl preservationists were largely supportive of the plan.

But Shani Kleinhaus, environmental advocate for the Audubon Society, said the filled ponds could end up being ecological â&#x20AC;&#x153;islands,â&#x20AC;? surrounded by golf course that would be hard to populate with owl prey. Modifications to the golf course might fix that, however, city staff said. If a choice had to be made to â&#x20AC;&#x153;preserve the golf course or preserve the owls, I would say preserve the owls,â&#x20AC;? said Council member Laura Macias. While the golf course might look less picturesque, filling most of the ponds with dirt (the birds are not as attracted to the large salt water lake at the park) seems to be an acceptable tradeoff to golfers if it will reduce the nuisance, city staff said. Under a proposal from city staff, the pond in front of Michaels restaurant at the golf course would remain, but three other golf course ponds would not. Council member Tom Means asked that the city not fill a portion of a lake that snakes east from Michaels because it makes one of the holes on the golf course a â&#x20AC;&#x153;signature holeâ&#x20AC;? Other council members seemed to agree. V

he city might purchase property at four different downtown locations, including the historic building on Castro Street which houses the Monte Carlo night club. In a closed session discussion Tuesday, the City Council considered purchasing properties including an old vacant craftsman home at 902 Villa Street, two adjoining properties at the corner of California and Castro streets and a home at 449 Franklin St. that backs up to a possible site for a downtown grocery store. City manager Kevin Duggan said it was unlikely that the city would buy more than one of the properties. Economic development director Ellis Berns has said the purchase of such properties at low, recession prices could help the city revitalize the downtown. The money would come from downtown revitalization authority funds, which now total $4.3 million, with another $4 million in revenue likely before the downtown tax district expires in 2011. According to a city Web page tracking the availability of downtown properties, the owners of 228

Castro Street are asking $4.5 million for the Monte Carlo night club property, which was once the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown movie theater. The home at 902 Villa Street, at the corner of Bryant Street, was once home to store called the House of Forgotten Treasures and has a vacant lot behind it. The asking price is $1.39 million. It is unclear how the city would use this property, or the adjoining properties at the corner of Castro Street and California Street, which are home to a Mediterranean restaurant and a small office building directly behind it at 756 California St. It is clearer, however, how the city could use another property on the list, 449 Franklin St. The residential property has a house on it and backs up to the city parking lot where the City Council has considered proposals for a long sought-after grocery store downtown. Prospective developers have said the parking lot, at Bryant and California Streets, is just slightly too small to make a downtown grocery store economically viable. The property could presumably allow a larger footprint for the grocery store by allowing truck access to the rear of the building. V

Hangar at top of Eshoo’s funding list By Daniel DeBolt

ongresswoman Anna Eshoo’s list of 2011 federal funding requests includes over $51 million for various Mountain View-related projects, including $10 million to help restore Hangar One. Eshoo’s list also includes $4 million to extend the Stevens Creek Trail over Highway 85 into the Dale-Heatherstone area, $10 million to reconfigure the Highway 237/ Highway 85 interchange, $250,000 to study a grade-separated rail crossing at Rengstorff Avenue, $125,000 for a new cancer care facility at Mountain View’s Palo Alto Medical Foundation campus, $250,000 to make the VTA’s bus yard in Mountain View completely solar powered, and $80,000 for communication technology improvements at the Mountain View Emergency Operations Center to “increase stability” of its responses to emergencies. As Eshoo had previously promised, she is requesting funds to help restore Moffett Field’s massive Hangar One, the subject of a preservation battle for years that was spurred by the Navy’s need to remove its toxic siding. Esti-

mates for putting on a new skin have ranged from $15 million to $40 million, and the $10 million request is expected to help owner NASA Ames find a tenant to re-use and possibly help fund its restoration. “Hangar One is a Bay Area landmark and a national treasure,” Eshoo said in a statement. “It’s a tough year for funding and it remains to be seen if the Appropriations Committee will approve my request, but I will continue my efforts until Hangar One is preserved for future generations.” Another significant Moffett Field-related funding request would put $8 million toward cleanup of environmental damage left behind by the U.S. Navy at the former Naval Air Station in order to “support NASA’s mission of increasing R&D at the Research Center.” NASA Ames has plans for a 75-acre Research Park west of the airfield and south of Moffett’s historic district. Several funding requests have an indirect impact on Mountain View, including $4.5 million for South Bay salt pond restoration and $4.8 million for a pedestrian bridge over Highway 101 in Palo Alto that helps connect Palo

Alto’s residential neighborhoods to Mountain View businesses near Shoreline Park. Bicyclists have complained about the danger of riding over the nearby San Antonio Road overpass, which lacks bike lanes and sidewalks. The 129th Air Rescue Wing at Moffett Field could also get $2.3 million for a new building for its pararescue jumper unit. The building would “safegaurd the unit’s inventory of high-cost, specialized equipment from exposure to the elements.” Another $2 million appears to be for the relocation of the main gate at Moffett Field at the end of Moffett Boulevard, which has long been a request by NASA Ames in order to open the former Navy base for the development of the NASA Research Park, including additional private businesses and a major university campus. But relocation of the main gate has been opposed by the military, in part because of the military housing located inside the gate. The request description reads: “The relocation of the main gate will meet post9/11 force protection requirements for the California National Guard’s 129th Rescue Wing, located on the former Moffett Field.” V

-PDBM/FXT SUICIDE

Continued from page 1

There was no sign of breaking and entering. Police are classifying the case as a murder-suicide, but are not ruling out the possibility of a double murder. “We’re not discounting the possibility that it could be a staged murder-suicide,” police spokesperson Liz Wylie said Tuesday morning. “But so far we have uncovered nothing that points to that.” Police say Lee was shot by someone else several times in the torso and once to the head, while Cho died from one gunshot wound to the neck. “Evidence gleaned during the autopsy further confirms our current classification as murdersuicide with (Cho) as the shooter,” Wylie said via e-mail Tuesday. Siaby Singh, a clerk at the 7-11 store across the street from Vogue Dry Cleaners, said people in the neighborhood looked up to Cho and some even called him “Mayor.” Cho would visit businesses in the nearby strip malls several times a day to socialize. “People went to him for help and advice,” Singh said. When the warm food at 7-11 was about to expire, Cho would take it to a struggling family living behind the dry cleaners, Singh said. “That’s the kind of person he was,” Singh said. “He was a trustworthy guy,” Singh said. “It was like losing family.” Cho worked for Lee after their divorce in order to make a living because “he had to,” Singh said. Santa Clara County court records reportedly show that Lee had been ordered to pay Cho $350,000 in their 2004 divorce in which Lee became owner of a Santa Clara home. Years later, Cho felt he had still not received his share, but “he was never angry,” Singh said. “Let me get my share and go back to Japan,” is what Cho was saying to his ex-wife, Singh said. Cho was born in Japan, according to a Vogue Dry Cleaners employee. By all accounts, Cho was a “nice, friendly guy,” said an employee of Tony and Alba’s Pizza and Pasta, another business at the corner of Latham and Escuela streets where Cho would socialize with the staff. “He will definitely be missed,” said the employee, who asked that his name not be used. Anthony Salciccia Jr., whose family owns Tony and Alba’s, said people in the neighborhood were shocked and saddened by the deaths. Cho and Lee had also operated Calderon Dry Cleaners at Calderon and Church streets. Both stores were apparently signed over to Lee at some point, though Cho had been an owner for over 20 years, friends said. Both Lee and Cho had children from previous marriages.

Walking to fight cancer in Relay for Life

5/12 thru 5/18

Hundreds of local residents will spend 24 hours this weekend taking part in Mountain View’s Relay for Life, a nationwide event that helps local communities raise money to support the work of the American Cancer Society. The event will take place in Cuesta Park from 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 22, until 10 a.m. Sunday, May 23. Participants walk or run, making sure that each team always has at least one participant on the track at all times. Teams camp out on the field in tents, and there will be live bands, dancing, food, and games. Teams of 10 to 15 people take turns walking on the track in recognition of the fact that cancer never takes a break. Participants come from a wide variety of backgrounds, including survivors, caregivers, medical professionals, and family and friends of cancer victims, organizers said. The event

also includes a Survivor’s Lap for participants who have battled with the disease. As of Monday, more than 750 participants in 62 teams are registered for the Mountain View event and they have raised almost $100,000 for the cause. Relay for Life began in 1985 as one man’s attempt to walk for 24 hours to raise money for the fight against cancer, and has since grown into an international event. The American Cancer Society was founded in 1913 and is dedicated to saving lives, diminishing suffering and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service. For more information, to register, or to find a team, go to www. relayforlife.org/mountainviewca.

seemed “lonely and depressed,” the employee said. “He didn’t have any hope.” “He wanted to live with her, but she didn’t want to live with him,” the employee said of Cho and Lee.

State raids city fund for $1.67 million By Daniel DeBolt

n the ongoing legal battle over the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to raid municipal coffers to balance its budget, California cities are took it on the chin last week. A Supreme Court decision two weeks ago against redevelopment authorities required Mountain View to write a check to the state for $1.67 million on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is disappointing,â&#x20AC;? said City Manager Kevin Duggan, who called it part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pattern of inappropriate fiscal maneuvering,â&#x20AC;? by the state. The California Redevelopment Association, representing redevelopment authorities like the one in downtown Mountain View, was denied a temporary stay by Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd Connelly. The stay would have prevented the state from raiding $2.05 billion from redevelopment funds

to balance the state budget Last year it was looking like the cities were winning the ongoing legal battle, Duggan said, but the state went to great efforts to learn from their court reversal last year. The California League of Cities is working on a November ballot measure to prevent such raids by the state in the future. Several years ago, California voters passed a similar measure, Proposition 1A, by a wide margin, Duggan said, but it did not preclude the state from taking RDA funds. Before the payment last week the city reported that the downtown tax district had $6 million in funds and was receiving about $4.7 million a year in property taxes, some of which would normally be diverted to schools. The funds are used for downtown improvements, such as parking garages and street trees. The City Council also hopes to sub-

sidize a grocery store downtown if a recently commissioned study finds it to be economically feasible. The state had justified the taking of the RDA funds by saying the money would be allocated to local schools, which local city officials called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shell game.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect them to bail us out and they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect us to bail them out,â&#x20AC;? Duggan said of the state. Unless the redevelopment association eventually wins the court case, it appears that there will be a delay in additional funding for schools. About $800,000 per year for the Mountain View Whisman School District was supposed to come after the downtown tax district expired and debts were paid off by 2019. As a result of the decision, the city may be allowed to extend the tax district another year, officials said. V

MAN BEATEN, ROBBED OVER ROOMMATEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DEBT A Mountain View man was robbed and beaten in his apartment on Wednesday, May 12, by two men who claimed his former roommate owed them $150, police said. The victim, 36, found the men waiting in his Fairchild Drive apartment when he entered, Mountain View Police Department spokesman Steve McCoy said. The victim recognized the men as acquaintances of his former roommate, who had moved out of the apartment three days beforehand, McCoy said. The men told the victim that his roommate owed them $150, McCoy said. The victim told them that his roommate was gone and that he would not give them any money. The two robbers then started punching and kicking the victim, who was knocked out by one of the blows, McCoy said. When the victim regained consciousness, the robbers were gone and his wallet and jewelry had been taken from the apartment. The victim reported the robbery at 6 p.m. and was taken to El Camino Hospital to be treated for cuts and bumps on his head, McCoy said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Martin Sanchez

PASSING COP STOPS ROADSIDE ASSAULT A Mountain View plainclothes police detective found himself perfectly placed to stop a crime Tuesday, May 11, when he witnessed a roadside altercation between a young Palo Alto man and his female companion. The detective was driving past the intersection of Castro Street and West El Camino Real at 3:05 pm when he saw a man arguing with a juvenile female companion on the sidewalk, Mountain View Police Department spokesman Steve McCoy said. As the detective watched, the man grabbed his companion by the throat and pulled her toward him as if to kiss her, McCoy said. The victim quickly broke free from his grasp and began to cross El Camino Real, he said. The man followed the victim and tried to grab her as she walked away, McCoy said. The detective, who had parked his car by this point, called for backup and walked into the street to separate the arguing couple, he said. Mountain View police officers arrested Alex Dejong, 18, on suspicion of domestic battery and booked him into the San Jose main jail, McCoy said. The female victim did not require any medical attention, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Martin Sanchez

to expand their business here. Concurring with reports about the overall health of the wine industry despite the recession, Ayre said Savvy Cellar has been doing well financially. Ayre and Harrison have been talking with the city since 2006 about leasing the site. The council originally passed on Savvy Cellar in favor of a 2008 deal to build a fullservice restaurant at the site, but it was found to be too â&#x20AC;&#x153;intensiveâ&#x20AC;? a use for the small building. Months later, the council made another deal that eventually fell through with coowner of the now defunct Castro Point restaurant, Christine Tran, for another wine bar that was to be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Artisan Depot.â&#x20AC;? The commemorative train building finished construction in 2002

Palmer identified Goldman as the future district head. Ghysels announced that he would step down July 1 to take a position with Santa Clara Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Education. Goldman is currently the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief financial officer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a position he has held for the past three years. Before that, he was the principal of Huff Elementary School for nine years.

and the city originally considered four general options for the 1,100 square foot space, which was the ticket office in the original train depot. The City Council considered different sorts of retail, a teen center, a community room and using it for art exhibit space. But city staff said retail would be the only use that would generate income for the city. The city will get $30,000 a year in rent from Savvy Cellar for the first five years of the 10-year lease. The city gave Savvy Cellar $225,000 for tenant improvements to the inside of the space, which lacked sheetrock and appropriate plumbing and electrical. The public bathroom originally planned for the building was removed from the project due to a lack of space, though Savvy Cellarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers will be able to use the wine barâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private restroom.

ountain View voters should find it easy to approve Measure A on the June 8 ballot to extend the current bond measure. It would raise $41.3 million by extending the payoff period on bonds for the Mountain View Los Altos High School District from 2024 to 2030. The extension will allow the district to accommodate enrollment that is expected to surge by 900 students by 2012. The extension maintains the same rate of $14.70 per $100,000 of a property’s assessed valuation. Although it will take six more years to pay off the bonds, the proposal is a good deal for voters as their taxes will not go up a nickel. Passage of the measure will create a bond oversight committee, a requirement for lowering the threshold for passage to We urge voters 55 percent of the vote, rather than the two-thirds normally to approve required for tax measures. Measure A. In the last six months or so, district officials including Superintendent Barry Groves have done their homework, talking to many local interest groups about why it is important to support the bond extension. In support of the proposal, school officials believe it is better to plan now for the additional students coming over the next three years. “We wanted to provide for our schools’ future without creating a heavier tax burden on local taxpayers,” a board member said in a statement issued in support of the measure. Much of the bond money will be used to build new classrooms at the district’s two high schools and to pay for other improvements, including new restrooms, earthquake and fire safety upgrades, improved security systems, updated wiring for new technologies and conversion of teacher offices to science labs. Some “green” improvements will also be included, such as installing solar electricity systems, improving insulation and replacing or upgrading inefficient boilers. School officials estimate that making all these changes could save up to $400,000 a year in energy costs. We urge voters to approve Measure A. Now is the time to prepare for the expected bubble of 900 additional students, rather than after they arrive. It also makes sense to install energy-efficient improvements that could save $4 million over 10 years. And by simply continuing the current bond repayment amount for another six years, voters will not see their tax bills increase. Measure A will provide good value to the district and its students and should be approved on June 8.

A CHALLENGE TO MAYOR’S CLAIM ON HOUSING PROJECT

the council’s hands when they made their decision. Max Hauser Loreto Street

In her guest opinion last week defending her support of the Minton/Prometheus development proposal, Mayor Ronit Bryant made the profoundly misleading claim that no studies in the case indicated “significant impacts on the neighborhood.” The main “Study/MND” report in January concluded as follows: No increase in site car traffic. (Assuming the “existing use” is a hypothetical big-box store with 1,717 daily visits. It isn’t.) No garage overflow, based on “six similar developments.” (Four had heavily occupied garages and one had unspecified street parking, none of which was counted; only two sites had known tenancy percentages. From the site with the least data, the report estimated the proposed garage would be 97.7 percent full at full apartment occupancy. No current use of existing streets by Caltrain commuters to park cars overnight was mentioned. (Resident Annette Nielsen simply waited for morning commute trains, and promptly photographed 20 of them.) All of this information was in

DRAWINGS NOT NEEDED TO MAKE RAIL DECISION I didn’t get particularly excited about the urban designer concept drawings for high-speed rail in Mountain View. It was obvious a long time ago that the only reasonable alternative for Mountain View was a trench or tunnel option for the train — everything else is a disaster. I did get excited about the $100,000 that the mayor or council spent on these drawings, when the city has a structural budget deficit requiring cutting a variety of services, and our schools are suffering as well. I’m shocked that those on the council who voted for this expenditure couldn’t use the judgment and intelligence we presumed they had when we elected them to office. Any reasonably intelligent person could have figured out what the city’s position on high speed rail should have been on his/ her own. The $100,000 could certainly have been put to better uses.

didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know a place like Cibo could exist here. It is a restaurant the likes of which I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encountered in the Palo Alto area, an eatery that would seem more at home in Omaha or Des Moines. Cibo is attached to the Creekside Inn hotel. Paul Khaki and wife/chef Anna Jamei have owned the restaurant for eight years. Previously, they were restaurant operators in San Carlos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many years of family experience,â&#x20AC;? Khaki told me. The space itself looks as if it had once upon a time been a coffee shop, even though it was an Italian restaurant before Khaki took over. Stools long removed, the counter

is now an expansive wood-top service area. The ceiling is painted burgundy, the walls a dappled ocher. There are only booths in the main dining area and two separate dining rooms with tables and chairs. The booths abut expansive windows that front El Camino with views of the gnarled traffic outside. The focal point of the restaurant is the opposite of what it should be. Behind Cibo are the lovely gardens of the Creekside Inn, serene, green, relaxing and yes, a creek runs through the property. The menu lacks focus. The concept seems to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;something for everyone.â&#x20AC;? The results seem to be not much of anything for anyone. The appetizers are a journey

8FFLFOE through the Middle East and south of the border. Coupled with the entrèe offerings of meats, pastas, dinner salads and sandwiches, there is no unifying theme. There are numerous misspelled words on the menu. Marinar (marinara) sauce, artichikes (artichokes), vniaigrette (vinaigrette). After eight years at this location, one would at least expect the scrutiny of Spell Check. Prices tend to the steep side as well. The captive audience from the hotel works in Cibo’s favor. I don’t doubt there is a premium on the lease for the hotel business. One evening, I ordered the Earth & Surf ($8.95) appetizer, a supposedly lightly battered calamari with assorted vegetables with aioli sauce. Alas, the kitchen didn’t have the ingredients. That dinner, I settled for Buffalo chicken wings as an appetizer followed by the chicken and artichoke linguini entree, an odd combination. My dining companion ended up with hummus and meat loaf. What’s the theme here? Supposedly California with a touch of Mediterranean — it sure fooled me. I tried two soups du jour ($4.95 or $3.10 if ordered in conjunction with an entree). The tomato soup was thick, more sauce-like than soupy, and way too salty. The clam chowder, on the other hand,

was loaded with tender, delectable clams, potatoes, onions and — New Englanders, please avert your eyes — celery. Those chicken wings ($7.95), by the way, weren’t too bad so far as chicken wings go. The wings were meaty, the sauce slightly piquant, with ranch dressing that was cool and creamy. We went Middle East one evening, ordering both hummus ($6.45) and mazeh ($7.45). Both were plenty for two. The hummus was tasty enough, the pureed chickpeas were enhanced with tahini, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice.

The mazeh was a platter of tomatoes, cucumber, bits of fresh basil, with big chunks of feta cheese all drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Both plates had ample amounts of fresh flat bread. For entrees, the grilled salmon filet ($18.95) was flavorless and blanketed with the special Cibo saffron sauce. The sauce was akin to a not-very-eggy hollandaise without the kick of lemon to liven it. The color was DayGlo yellow, startling when the plate was placed before me. Saffron-infused sauces

The meat loaf ($13.95) was pretty good too. There was more than one kind of meat in it, perhaps beef and pork. The generous portion was smothered under a rich blanket of red wine

I had any passion for was out of stock. The waiter, sensing my frustration, discounted a Beringer merlot from $44 to $26. While I appreciated the gesture, that merlot retails for $17. Desserts provided no pleasant surprises. The apple pie a la mode ($5.95) was a train wreck, both visually and taste-wise. The crust was soggy and apples were in short supply. It had faux artiness about it with squiggles of mango, chocolate and strawberry sauces, none of which complimented the baked apples. A glob of whipped cream flavored with something I never identified and a Maraschino cherry topped the ruin. Lava cake ($6.25) oozed hot, thick chocolate when pricked. Obviously, it was a better choice. Cibo has survived for eight years, and, despite my protestations, pleases enough customers to keep going. I suppose offering something for everyone works well with a captive audience.

mushroom sauce. The garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables that included those giant carrot slices, completed the plate. The eggplant parmesan ($14.95), drenched in marinara sauce, was burned on the bottom. It was pretty on the plate and the initial flavors were good. The Philly steak sandwich ($12.10) was massively filling. The bread had been grilled and it oozed provolone cheese. The inside was loaded with thinly sliced, rather flavorless beef, onions and roasted red peppers. I managed not quite half of it before waving a white flag. Service was generally good, polite, friendly and prompt except when clearing. On each of my three visits, entrees came while appetizer plates sat. The server couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage with both arms full, so we awkwardly moved plates around to make room. The wine list is puny and uninteresting. About the only wine

LETTERS TO JULIET --

(Century 16, Century 20) Care for some wine with your cheese? Both are on the menu in this road-tripping romance that features a talented cast and gorgeous locales but a sappy plot. Aspiring writer Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) jaunts off to Verona, Italy, with her apathetic fiance, Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal). Victor’s busy schedule researching wine vendors for his fledgling New York restaurant offers Sophie plenty of sight-seeing time. One such excursion leads her to the House of Juliet, where love letters addressed to William Shakespeare’s tragic character litter the wall. Sophie’s curiosity leads her to the “secretaries of Juliet” — three women who respond to the notes. She soon discovers a decades-old letter from a woman named Claire (Vanessa Redgrave). Rated PG for brief rude behavior, some language and incidental smoking. 1 hour, 44 minutes. — T.H.

MOTHER AND CHILD --

(Palo Alto Square) Rodrigo Garcia spurned the common wisdom that urges one to “write what you know.” Focusing on three intersecting stories of mothers and daughters, the writer-director of “Nine Lives” has fashioned a reverential, idealized version of motherhood certain to polarize female viewers who may not agree that having a baby is the ultimate goal in life. Annette Bening, Naomi Watts and Kerry Washington deliver brave performances, even though their characters ring false as often as they reveal authentic truths. For its strong point of view and tearjerker sentiment, “Mother and Child” earns a spot in the women’s weepie genre. Rated: R for sexuality, brief nudity, and language. 2 hours. 6 minutes. — S.T.

ROBIN HOOD --

(Century 16, Century 20) This “Robin Hood” isn’t about robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Rather, it’s a two-and-a-half-hour epic about sticking it to the French. Director Ridley Scott and screenwriter Brian Helgeland (“A Knight’s Tale”) choose not to retell the well-known tale, despite the presence of familiar characters Marion (Cate Blanchett), the Sheriff of Nottingham (Matthew Macfadyen) and Friar Tuck (Mark Addy). Instead, the tack is “Robin Hood Begins” (or “Robin Hood Royale”), with the story leading up to the ace archer’s days at odds with King John (Oscar Isaacs). Impressive recreations of period locations and dress contribute to the dirty and mostly grim tone, but somehow it’s all too tasteful to be interesting. Or worse, sometimes it’s faintly silly, as with the revelation that Robin’s dad essentially wrote the Magna Carta. Rated PG-13 for violence including intense sequences of warfare, and some sexual content. Two hours, 20 minutes. — P.C.
