I visited Prague about 10 years ago and am trying now to remember the names of two restaurants I went to. One was very old and in a basement of a building in Wenceslas Square. We were told that it had been in operation as an eating establishment since the year 800 AD. The other was on the hillside in the vineyards near the Strahov Monastery. The food was excellent and view of the city and the river breathtaking. Anyone know the names of these two restaurants? Thanks!
I think you may have misunderstood (or misremembered, or were strung a line): buildings on Wenceslas Square don't date back before the 14th century.

is the oldest building in the square, with cellars dating back to the 14th century. Perhaps it was the restauarant housed in them which you visited?
The old restaurant was not in Wenceslas Square, but in the Old Town Square, across from the Astronomical Clock and down the row of buildings in the direction of Wenceslas Square.
Your original post stated Wenceslas.
The 'Bily Konicek' has celllars dating back to the 12th century:

as does the Old Town Hotel restaurant.
Several other restaurants in and around the square have similar ancient foundations (although I still think a date of 800AD is a bit iffy).
Regarding second restaurant.
Very famous is Restaurant Nebozizek http://www.nebozizek.cz/, but just on the hill in some distance from Monastery, not in a vineyards.
Other possible candidate is Bellavista. Is it attached to monastery, rose gardens around. www.bella-vista.cz
Praha. I was there with travel agency - and i wish to go there again. You now - with travel agency - the most famous places, etc. But - my friend and me - leaved for one night in city - and we did not found any bar !!!! Noone ! Can you believe it ? I thing, we started from the end, and not to right direction. So.. some day i will go there for night bar to drink bear !
There are so many recognizable sights and interesting historical landmarks in Prague. If you're a fan of architecture, this is the city for you. One of the more famous and quirky sights is the Astronomical Clock located in Old Town Square that dates to 1410. Every hour crowds gather to see the mechanical figures ring bells and nod to the spectators (hard to explain- you gotta see it for yourself!).
We didn't have any problems getting around Prauge as far as LANGUAGE, and we knew absolutely nothing about the language. We got along just fine with English and our so-so German (and Matt knows Greek, but we didn't really need it in Prauge).
We did go SHOPPING, and even though we found some really good deals, Matt was very dissapointed at the Lacoste store (still expensive).
Bathroom... you have to pay for public restrooms here, too, but it isn't much (maybe 5 crowns) and according to Matt, the coolest bathroom in the whole world is in Prauge... it was lit with black lights.
Globe Bookstore is in the new town area a few streets away from the national theatre. It is a little bookstore which also sells English written books as well as internet access and a lovely coffee shop that has great food at good prices. Great for spending a little bit of time reflecting on Prague.

The 'Lennon Wall' is worth seeking out, if only for its sociological and cultural import. Tucked away in Mala Strana, it is the garden wall of the Grand Priory of the Maltese Knights. when Lennon was murdered, it became a sort of shrine to hs memory. Graffiti was regularly removed, and replaced, but it now seems to have become tolerated if not openly accepted. Perhaps its value as a tourist sight has been recognised, or perhaps the authorities have realised there is little point in pursuing the matter.
It's on Velkoprevorske Namesti.
