You can't think of Silicon Valley, California without thinking about food, restaurants, and food lovers. It has become known for some of the finest restaurants in the world, most of which capitalize on the fact that variety is the spice of life. Castro Street in Mountain View, California is home to a treasure trove of diverse restaurants - from fine dining to unusual eateries. One thing is for sure, living in Mountain View means never getting bored of your neighborhood menu...

Cascal
400 Castro St., Mountain View CA 94041
For anybody who has ever enjoyed tapas before, you know that it is all about an intimate atmosphere, good company, and small portioned plates. Cascal has all the necessary elements and is sure to impress even the most discerning Spaniard. The tapas menu grants credit to the tried and true old world recipes, but also does not shy away from trying something different. From the Brazillian Shrimp and Rice Croquettas to the Duck Confit Gorditas, you will have to try everything at least once.

Sakoon
357 Castro St, Mountain View, CA
An indian restaurant may not be the first place you would think of to go to happy hour, but Sakoon is the talk of the town come 5 o' clock on Friday. The upstairs lounge area is plush and stylish and makes you feel as if you've found your own private room. Try the incredibly fresh naan, the delectable butter chicken, or one of their famous cocktails.

Meat lovers and vegans alike love it here because of the specially catered dishes. While they are known for their pastrami sandwiches, their veggie burger is also a best-seller.

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Silicon Valley, please contact me.

Silicon Valley is in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. Typically considered to be comprised of several counties; San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Santa Cruz. The region is home to many of the world's largest technology corporations., such as Yahoo, Google, Apple, eBay, Cisco, etc. The term originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area; it is now generally used as a metonym for the American high-tech sector. Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States and the world, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading hub for high-tech innovation and development, accounting for one third of all the venture capital investment in the United States. Geographically, the Silicon Valley encompasses all of the Santa Clara Valley including the city of San Jose (and adjacent communities), the southern Peninsula, and the southern East Bay. This includes cities such as Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, San Mateo, San Carlos and many more!
