Yes!

But too bad no space for outdoor dining.

Banana Leaf is a great restaurant. I'm looking forward to a similar restaurant in walking distance.

@dana

where would you put an outdoor space for this building? Maybe the middle of ECR? Maybe the back parking lot that is shared with other business? maybe the roof?

I hope that this will be a restaurant that will be nice and quiet so one can actually have a conversation.

Second floor?
Parking requirement for additional dining area on second floor?
Where oh where will everyone be parking when the new Malaysian and new dim sum restaurant opens next door? Even with the closure of the previous restaurants parking has gotten worse and worse.

Time to build a parking structure on the parking lot behind Walgreens.

@whatever, worst case, people might have to walk an extra 100 yards from a parking space. Menlo Park has tons of free parking on evenings and weekends (when restaurants are busiest)

In fact, so much of downtown is given over to parking that maybe we need to rename the city to Menlo Parking. There's nothing to do, but also least there's plenty of parking!
