On one occassion the servers were very green, but that has not been an issue the last couple of times I've been there. The food that I've had at Smoke has always been excellent. I agree with you that Bolsa would be an excellent choice (btw, Smoke & Bolsa are owned by the same people).

I have eaten there and did not like it, and agreed with 98% of Nancy Nichols scathing review in D. The service is terrible (all courses coming out at once, hard to get a drink refilled) and that is what chaps me the most.

Jeffers & Zielke have a great thing going at Bolsa; I wish they would fine tune Smoke because the Belmont and the neighborhood deserve a great restaurant.

I will not go to NOKIA Theater - that's the worst place in the world to put such a thing, IMO! I will wait until whoever it is I want to see goes to a decent location. I don't mind going to the horse track every year or two but you can arrive and leave when you wish...

Elvis Costello was recently there and I just can't imagine him playing in such an un-cool venue.

They ought to be playing here:
