Was there once, I am sure once his ties to the Niners was over, he moved on...been closed for at least a decade...

restraunts come and go, especially the ones that are not a chain, they have a hard time sticking around for a long periods of time....

DJed there a couple times and I'm pretty sure it got bought out and turned into another restaurant..D.C is a home developer in North Carolina now..Upstairs there was a huge black & white shot of "The Catch" signed by Everson Walls, who wrote "you were out!" as a joke..

Back in the day, D.C and a couple of other 9ers (Lott, Montana, Williamson, Keena Turner) invested in a restaurant I worked at called "The Sports City Cafe" in Cupertino..It lasted about 4 years before the investors pulled out..Not sure if it was the 9er players or others but it became a family restaurant..Back in the 80's-early 90's, restaurants were a big investement..Also they had several private parties there when I got to meet alotta players..My fave memory is schucking oysters for Joe, Jennifer, Ronnie and his soon to be wife..No, I didn't get any autographs that night cuz G.M made it clear that anyone caught asking would be fired on the spot..(Yes he was a Cowpie fan; how did you know?)

Actually it isn't a resturant anymore, and they turned it into an RV storage park and boat storage area. It looks nice over there but no more clarks by the bay. My parents parked their RV there until just recently when we started parking it in our drive way.
