General Overview

I’m against celebrity establishments. Too frequently do investors lure the dimwitted pop personalities into getting involved in things they have no business. Britnney Spears’ “NYLA?” Toby Keiths “I Love this Bar & Grill?” Planet Hollywood? Sigh. So what about this quaint little place owned by Dilbert’s own Scott Adams. Dilbert has a tie that curls upwards. And he’s a geek icon. He’s exempt.


Sure I love the comic, but you won’t find much mention or hints of it at Staceys, which is actually why I consider it exempt. Much to his chagrins, the restaurant is having trouble, forcing him to publicly ask for suggestions to improve business traffic. But without theme-ing it up. Kudos in my book. In that light, Stacey’s has more in common with an upscale Palo Alto restaurant. About the only comedic influence is a menu with quirky remarks. Otherwise it positions itself in the moderately priced candle-lit romance category. The menu is typical Californian.

My opinions: I definately will be heading over here if I'm within an hours drive. It may be upscale and it may be out of the way, but I advocate local business. And there's a possibility of running across Adams himself.
