“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor”
“Jason Revel's library of wine is vast, with something for everyone, and constantly being updated. What I love is that I always learn something new about the wine I'm drinking. The staff are personable and professional; the bar is a chill and fun hangout.”
“The taste is very good and the ingredients are very fresh. I recommend the lobster and seafood bisque, which tastes great.”
“A really wonderful, romantic oasis in downtown Burlingame. All the food we ordered here was delicious. The Italian sausage lasagna was my highlight. The pomegranate and arugula salad was also wonderful. The Bolognese lasagna was solid but not as standout. The complimentary focaccia bread at the beginning was just so-so.
The staff and service are extraordinarily welcoming and friendly. I'd highly recommend a visit!”

“Super friendly staff. This is me and my dates go to spot. We order food and hookah.
This is definitely a place u take ur date to.
If u have a girls night out, this is the place. Many times we been there, there's been those.
The staff is very patient knowledgeable. "Patient" is very important bcuz many of us aren't familiar with the food or culture. But there hasn't been any problems with anyone or food or hookah.
My date always asks to go here and I never turn her down.
Also, their hookah is decently priced. The same as other places i go to, to hookah.
If I come alone, my date considers it "cheating." ?
Food is decently priced. We were surprised but glad. I'm also glad it's a one stop spot. As in, we don't have to go to another place to eat then come to hookah.”

“The food was excellent, the atmosphere is casual with lots of seating and nice decor. I got the mixed Gyro plate with chicken and beef. The meat is flavorful and the salad is fresh. Comes with fresh pita, hummus and paprika sauce, with hot sauce at the table. The servers gave us a free slice of baklava drenched in honey and pistachios, and hot tea. Would eat here again!”

“Dined solo for work trip.
Decor was cute, BUT the window was open because it was super warm and there were a bunch of mosquitos. Made the dinner not so comfortable.
Server was not attentive, so no bad oe good review there.
Food: was eh. My falafel tasted a bit like burnt oil for my taste. BREAD was soo delicious because it was warm. Hummus was decent. Had to order a sidw of rice and it was the best thing I ate. The lemonade was fresh squeezed but toooo sweet.”
“Rocca delivered the perfect romantic dinner for two in a half-round booth. From the divine Gnocchi with Pesto Cream to the generous Ravioli Bolognese, every bite was a delight. And let's not forget the indulgent Chocolate Mousse for dessert. Impeccable service, a cocktail menu to suit both our tastes, and an atmosphere that set the scene for a memorable evening.”

“I love supporting small businesses and this place is the Best! I love their Lavazza cappuccino and pastries especially the cannolis! Got to try the vegetariana sandwich today and it was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve had! Super cute spot and very kind people!”
“Yan gon is a family own Burmese restaurant on broadway Burlingame. The owner and the entire staff were extremely friendly , attentive , courteous . helpful, and welcoming . Their dishes are delicious . I have tried their Burmese Style Curry Lamb , Singapore Street noodles, Deep fried Chicken Wings , and Wor Wonton Soup. All four dishes were delicious, but my favorite is the won ton soup . This soup is perfect , it's so healthy and brothy. The broth is so rich that left a long lasting mouthwatering and coating sensation lingering in my tongue. The wontons are so tasty , juicy , and flavorful with the right amount of , I believe was pork , ginger , garlic ,chopped onions , sugar, salt , pepper , and shrimps . . The shrimps were very tastey and fresh . It didn't have that strange scent of ammonia or fishy smell like spoiled shrimps . The restaurant is simple , bright , clean , casual ambience with ample seatings. I have been here many times and got seated right away. No wait . This restaurant is a must try if you have the craving for Burmese food or just want to try something new.”
“This is seriously some of the best breakfast and lunch food my family and I have ever had. If you can’t tell by the name we are from Cleveland, OH and this place beats out all of our breakfast spots with ease. I would HIGHLY recommend coming here. When we came it was on a Sunday morning right at their “busiest” time and still there was plenty of room and never felt too crowded. Also the pancakes are as big as my head.”
“BG is a gorgeous restaurant, with well prepared food, and live music/jazz, most days of the week. Owners are very personable and hands-on, which is rare, amongst restaurants. Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!”

“This is my and my husband’s favorite sushi restaurant! This is a must-visit restaurant when friends or family visit. This is a restaurant recognized by everyone! It's a little pricey (but not terribly expensive), but it's really worth it⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really recommend this place! In particular, salmon belly and eel sushi melt as soon as you put them in your mouth. Be sure to order it haha. The place itself is small, but the sushi quality is so good that we go often haha.
This is my go-to sushi place in the bay area! I really recommend this place because once you put the sushi into your mouth.. it melts. Especially I recommend unagi(eel) sushi and salmon belly sushi! The price is a little bit high, but reasonable price - because it is definitely worth it. Also all the employees are so kind and nice here :)”
“Was here on a Friday night for dinner - there was a wait even with a reservation but the staff was nice enough the people in line free wine and a seat at the bar. We were seated shortly after and went with the ribs and paella - both were good and portion was hearty. Food took a while to be prepared. Busy and tables were pretty close to each other. Would consider returning.”
“Wonderful service, DELICIOUS food and the best views! I was so glad my company put me in the area. I had the exotic cocktail (which was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while), The calamari which they also put fried artichoke in it *chefs kiss* and those sauces!!! My goodness the SAUCES separate or together my taste buds were very happy. Last but never least the lobster bisque…. I about picked up the bowl and licked it clean…. Perfectly seasoned, buttery, creamy, mmm mmm mmm!! I can’t wait to come back…after your meal you can walk it off with the 360 views of just beautiful scenery”

“Personally, I think the ice cream cookies are the most delicious. When you return to the Bay Area, you must try several different flavors to satisfy yourself. After eating them, you will feel better...
It's a pity that Styrofoam boxes were provided for free to take home with ice, but now you have to spend an extra US$10 to buy dry ice and Styrofoam. It's good to at least provide this option.”
“Delicious coffee and breakfast menu! Definitely my new go-to brunch spot in Burlingame. I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the interior design and the two-story layout. There’s something about the atmosphere that makes me feel very relaxed sitting upstairs with a cup of coffee. Also, it is a no technology zone but I still see people with their laptops so I don’t think they’re very strict about it.”
“This is a charming ice cream shop on broadway Burlingame. They have a great selection of tasty hand crafted ice creams, yogurts , sorbets, chocolates and candies. It's an ice cream shop that fulfill the most posh of taste. My favorite is the Ube ice cream . Its so luscious , thick and creamy texture with a mellow, subtle nutty, and a hint of vanilla flavor. Location is great. It's on broadway Burlingame next to Walgreens. Meter spots , parking lots , and 2 hrs of free parking available. Cute ambience and the entire staff is attentive and welcoming.”
“Came for the camarones a la diabla (“Devil’s Shrimp”), which they don’t have on the menu but are happy to make it for you. I actually enjoy theirs more than El Farolito! Also HIGHLY recommend their pastor tacos. Their salsa is top-notch, which I am very picky about. So lucky I live two minutes away!
Parking: Park behind if you can’t find on street.”
“Shout out to this place ♥️!!!
Alex's service was amazing! She is full of energy and knows what you'd like.
The food was amazing ?
Best of best: "The coffee refills are FREE" ☕️
The place was 95% full which tells you that they are the Best ?
Best place to be if you are in Burlingame ?
Thank you guys!
Check out pictures from this place.”
“The restaurant is located inside a plaza and there are a lot of parking spaces. We arrived there right after 6:00pm, and there were a few people waiting inside. After I put my name on the waitlist, we were able to get our table very quickly. We ordered the Sliced Beef & Ox Tripe in Chili Oil, Cucumber Salad, Chicken & Corn Dumpling in Chili Oil, Napa Cabbage & Pork Potstickers, Pork Xiao Long Bao, and Iced Assam Milk Tea. They served the food pretty quickly and all the staff were friendly. Those dumplings were freshly made by the chef because you could see the back with an open kitchen and watch them making all the dumplings. Dumplings and Xiao Long Bao tasted pretty good except the sliced beef and ox tripe and the drink was just ok. Highly recommended for the dumplings and Xiao Long Bao :)”
“A very nice and clean coffee shop in a beautiful area. The whole area is quietness. The place is very close to a trail, beach, and walk-side sea.
I got a cortado, which was definitely good. I could taste a strong and balanced coffee. Also, I got a gluten free waffle (Honey Butter), which was light and delicious.
This place gets an easy 5 stars. The place seems to be popular, where there is usually a 15-minute wait time.”
“Looking for something different after our cruise. Centro definitely hit the spot!! Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and awesome playlist!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“It was fun going during the soft opening of Palmetto Superfoods in Burlingame (there are other locations in the Metreon, on Union Street, and on Clement Street in San Francisco, with another planned for Santana Row). I learned a lot by speaking with the super friendly and deservedly-proud owner. This location in Burlingame is a really cool little spot diagonally across from Safeway and has a sweet public rooftop sitting area. And I love that everything is plant-based except the honey and bee pollen, but they have a vegan apple honey — which is absolutely delicious — as a superior substitute. Anyway, with a choice of bowls (and smoothies), one could choose a set one on the menu or customize everything with unlimited bases and toppings — as long as it fits in whatever size bowl you choose (yup, I totally went large). I opted for the Bay Blend, but swapped out the strawberries (not really my thing) for toasted coconut flakes (most definitely my thing). The bowl was quickly layered by the friendly employee, who looked like she was excited for her next opportunity to surf, at least in my imagination. From the açaí, pitaya/dragonfruit, and chia pudding on the bottom to the banana and almond butter in the middle to the granola, blueberries, and toasted coconut, etc. on top, it was scrumptious and satisfying. Wanting to try a little more deliciousness, I decided to take a Midnight Beach smoothie to go. Now that I’m gone, I know I’ll be back!”
“The fact that it is all gluten free is amazing. I haven’t been able to have a bahn mi since I found out I have celiac. I ordered one today and it was so good. The customer service was great. I love this place and definitely recommend! I will be back to try more of their menu items”

“Amazing poke’ ! Incredible service! Awesome owners! Cool Asian sparkling water flavors! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
Cheap Eats
“I came in for a quick lunch while I was waiting and nearby. It really exceeded my expectations. I got a slice of sausage and pepperoni with a drink, which was cheap and exactly what I wanted. I'm not sure I would say it is the best quick slice I've had in the bay area, but it is the best from a chain. Service was super fast and friendly, my food was ready pretty much once I filled my drink. It was one of the coke touchscreen selector machines, so I got something I never find. There were a great selection of different pizza toppings to use, pretty much anything I would want, and some I wouldn't think of.
My only real issue was the atmosphere. I liked the decor, but it felt like it was designed for the kind of dining I was there for. It just felt a little seedy, I didn't want to linger after eating. I've been to worse, especially for this general category of place, but it felt like they were shooting a bit above that.
All and all, I'll be back. It will be on my radar for the future.”
“Tpumps is always quick, and offers a large amount of taster tea that is appreciated during the line. Unfortunately there isn’t any sit down area, but their prices make up for it - esp on Tpumps Tuesday where you get a free upgrade. My favorite drink is the green tea - peach rose lemon w honey boba and light ice and sweetness
Without light sweet the drink could be too sugary since the boba is honey boba which adds to the sugar content”
“Has everything. Drinks, vibe and empanadas! Been here many times. In door and outdoor options. Not too loud.
Cocktails are fun. They have a holiday menu too right now. The menu makes it easy to choose with drawings of each. Only draw back is the ice inside is huge soo not as much drink as you think.
The vibe is my fave. Open and chic. Enough seating.
The Empanadas are good. One per order. Chicken, beef, mushroom option.
Staff is chill and always attentive.”
“Found this location while staying nearby at the Westin. Unsuspecting and a bit hidden. However, the food was excellent, owners were kind / helpful, and the atmosphere was pleasant. For a quick dinner, I would certainly come back if in the area.”

“Great food and love the outside seating. so quant and cozy. Chinese chicken salad is delicious. very friendly staff. I only wish they had the nutrition info next to the items on the menu for those of is that like to keep track.”

“We came here after visiting Washington Park with 6 people on a Sunday afternoon. It was hot and we wanted something small and quick to eat and drink while the niners game was on. We originally wanted to sit at the bar but since we had a larger group we opted to sit at a table. We got a round of shots and a Prickly Pear Margarita that was really good. We got the signature French fries flight (truffle, rosemary garlic, bbq) served with herb ranch, chipotle mayo, and ketchup. We also got the Chicken Wing flight (Buffalo, salt n pepper, honey habanero) that came with 9 total wings. And we got a chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It was a good little snack for all of us, service was great. There was air conditioning, but there was a quick black out during the game but it came on pretty quickly! There’s street parking and some lots nearby.”

“The view is really pretty you can see the planes fly and the beautiful blue bay water. The food was really good and you can have a hotpot there which my daughter and her friends love. Some of the food was a bit too bland and didn't have enough flavor and seasoning. They were a bit slow when it came for service but overall our experience was really great!”
