Great service, delicious food.
Visited 327 Lorton Ave in Burlingame—beautiful spot with lush flowers and a cozy, upscale vibe. It was busy, so reservations are a must. Staff were friendly and attentive, especially the bartender, Alex, who made great espresso martinis. The lobster risotto was a hit, but the artichoke lacked seasoning. Portions were generous for the price, though the risotto felt more like overcooked rice. Parking was tight, but worth it. A small suggestion: skip the artichoke dish.
Nice atmosphere at the Burlingame branch. Food wasn't too bad. Had the seafood linguine and shared a fried calamari to start. Prices aren't too bad
