The Dish: Internos, Outerlands, Cheesecake Factory

Spot an opening for The Dish? Toss in the tip jar, please.

1) Inner Richmond: The pretty little thing you see above is the cozy interior of Internos Wine Cafe on Geary. It's a new wine bar from the nice couple of Quinn Longbothum and Adnan Abudaken, with a short menu of small plates and a decent sized list of wines by the glass (~20). Tonight is the soft opening, and tomorrow night is the proper opening. Going forward, it'll be open 10am-10pm, and until 11 on weekends. And there's WiFi. 3240 Geary Blvd, between Parker and Spruce; (415) 751-2661; website [EaterWire]

2) Outer Sunset: Finally open, way out on the cusps of Judah, is Outerlands. It's a cafe/eatery/"gathering place" with fresh soup and homemade bread from folks who have been trying very hard to open up, so it's good to hear that they've succeeded. Right now, hours are Tuesday through Saturday 5pm-10pm, with Sunday brunch on the way. Menu is on the site. 4001 Judah, at 45th Avenue; (415) 661-6140; website [EaterWire]

3) Walnut Creek: The recession has hit mid- to upscale chains the hardest, but Walnut Creek got itself a shiny new Cheesecake Factory this week. 1181 Locust Street, Walnut Creek; (925) 952-8450; website [EaterWire]
