Brunch meetup

Sun September 4 at 11:00 AM, Barracuda Sushi
2251 Market St, San Francisco, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
How about a weekend brunch meetup with mimosas, bloody marys and great food either in SF or the east bay (bart accessible of course)?
I could potentially do east bay, but can't spare the time to get to SF.

Anyone ever been to the brunch at Medjool? I've been interested, but never made it in.

I could potentially do this weekend (i.e. tomorrow) but next would be better.
I imagine we'd want to find a restaurant that takes reservations — brunch for a large group can be difficult to get without waiting an hour otherwise.

Ben and Nick's in Rockridge used to be a solid place; I haven't been there in ages. Same goes for Barclay's.
The Trappist is also pretty BART-accessible.
(NB: All of those places are mostly beer-focused.)

That should work. It's definitely got the potential for being crowded, but there are a bunch of other places in the neighborhood if it gets too bad.

Anything near 16th St or 24th St BART that you guys like? Saturday night in the Mission tends to be crowded, is the only downside.
Dalva? Uptown? Mission Bar? We always end up at Frjtz because it's never crowded, but that is not the best reason to go there.

Dalva: the first bar I've ever been to that seemed completely uninterested in taking my money. (They were perfectly happy to serve me drinks, they just failed at the next bit.)
That said, I have no particular preference.

Sunday it is. Now to figure out where.
Axis cafe comes to mind (bottomless mimosas) but it is not BART friendly.
Other ideas? It would be great if we could make reservations by Fri.

Brunch is awesome and so are mefites, so what could be more awesome than brunch with mefites? I'm free Sunday too. No clue where we should go though; I've never been to a brunch place in SF that isn't always crazy mobbed and a horrible meetup spot.

Axis is good. And there's the back patio if it's nice out. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything that's particularly bart friendly, that is going to be able to handle a big group on sunday? Foreign Cinema? I've personally been wanting to try Straw, but I think that place is tiny.

There's always the stalwart standby options of Chow (Park if necessary though I prefer the Castro location) and the five Squat and Gobbles. Not so sure if they have mimosas though.
Barracuda might be of interest: bottomless mimosas (check), solid breakfast fare and sushi/Japanese lunch entrees, and able to handle a decent-sized group (I dropped in completely unannounced with seven people and they got us a table). It's not that BARTable though, being at 15th and Market; you'd need to transfer to Muni.

Bah, the walk from 16th/Mission to 15th/Market is maybe 10 minutes.
