Lawrence had picked this place from the Web before flying from the UK.
It's a favorite of bikers, hikers and other visitors to the Redwood forest ten miles west of Palo Alto.
It was built in the early 1900's as a grocery store to support loggers, and in the 1960's was bought by Alice Taylor, who renamed it after the Arlo Guthrie song of the same name - Alice's Restaurant.
It's certainly picturesque, even more so no doubt when it's not peeing with rain, like it was today.
Nevertheless, once tucked inside, we revelled in the burgers, wings, and omelettes.
The weather kept the motorcyclists at home, in front of their fires, but we still loved the atmosphere provided by the staff and the mix of crusty locals and tourists having a good and relaxing Friday lunch.
