John,
I'm glad the short clip brought back some nice memories. Cruising Hwy 1 along the coast on a beautiful day is tough to beat. Many of the tourists are long gone from SF by Dec. The trick to visiting here is to come early fall....June and July typically bring lots of fog. This movie was shot in Nov. and Dec. and we got to the film locations early in the morning because I could only meet with them on weekends.
Doug,
I hadn't been to House of Prime Rib for a few years also...so be prepared for a little sticker shock....full prime rib dinner is around $35-$37 now. We spent nearly $100 and didn't even have any alcohol. The food was great, but be prepared to wait even with reservations. We went on a Tues night with an 8:00 pm time slot and didn't get seated until 8:45.
Personally, I think it's done on purpose so you get seated in the cocktail area and throw a few drinks back to pad the bill.
