#32RIP East Coast Grill & Border Cafe.
Suburban versions of restaurants in town are never really the same, but you might enjoy the Border Cafe in Burlington more than you expect. I haven't found anything like the East Coast Grill, though.
Border Cafe was cheap, good and fun - perfect for a broke college student. I remember the two hour plus wait lists for tables way, way, back in the day. Friends and I would go to the book and record stores while waiting. It was a great way to spend an evening.
East Coast Grill is irreplaceable. Schlesinger's inventive mix of tropical flavors and and bold style made that restaurant a special treat at every visit. Whereas others would drag their parents to Henrietta's Table or the like, I directed all outside buyers of meals for me to ECG. I learned I loved fried plantains and anything marinaded in molasses&lime.
The Martini from Hell was undrinkable.
If you don't have Schlesinger's cookbooks, I would recommend them - they are excellent and straightforward to follow.

#34There was a restaurant called Flavor in Half Moon Bay that had probably my favorite burger ever, of all time/places. They shut down a few years ago. I didn't find that one in your SF/SJ listings, probably just out of range!

#35That takes me back: No Name in Boston. Right by the shipyard. Navy ppl would fly in allegedly to check on the schematics in person but really to get the chowder and fried mixed seafood platter there.

#38RIP Goood Frikin' Chicken in SF.
Held on for a long time through Covid, but finally gave up without reopening the dining room again.

And “Toms” - The Little Garden on El Camino in Mountain View with the wall of Sun Microsystems business cards. Some folks (no doubt still around on HN) started an ISP in the Bay Area named after it.
