Most of the menu runs to grilled meats and fish, often spiced - BBQ ribs, blackened catfish, tequila prawns, a range of burgers and sandwiches, pasta, jambalaya. Vegetarians, no fear-- from the baked brie or black-bean nacho appetizers to the fire-roasted veggie sandwich, gardenburger, or pasta primavera, you'll find something you'll like. Non-drinkers, well, they have excellent bottled rootbeer (though I wish they'd make their own!) and various non-alcoholic beers. [Review by SRC] KW was last at Tied House a couple of years ago. Directions: Freeway: Take your favorite route to 101 to Shoreline, and head towards El Camino. After you cross over Central Expressway (immediately after!), take a left onto Villa. Tied House is a few blocks down Villa, about halfway between Shoreline and Castro Street. Be nice making your turn-- the police station is right at the intersection of Shoreline and Villa! Tied House tends to park up in the evenings, so think about parking on the street a block or so away. Transit: Very easy walk from Mountain View Caltrain stop. By bus, I'd say get off one or two stops past Castro but before Shoreline, and walk down the scenic streets past the library and the park, wending your way toward Tied House. If you want a straight shot, go for Castro, not Shoreline-- Shoreline is missing some sidewalks in the direction you'd be headed. [Directions by SRC]
