The food was excellent and the service was great! We highly recommend the grilled lamb chops, filet mignon, butternut squash gnocchi and bread pudding!

We've been to Park & Howard several times, always having a wonderful experience. The menu is full of fantastic options... very hard to make a selection. Last night folks had scallops, halibut and the burger. All delicious! Our waiter was charming and added to the great experience

Every time we go to this restaurant, the service is excellent and the food delicious! The atmosphere is also very nice. We were seated in the blue dining room with the chandelier which appeared to have been recently remodeled.

Really great restaurant delicious food. Great service only comment is it's really loud.

We love Park and Howard. It's our go to place for ladies lunch. The service, atmosphere and consistently delicious food keeps us returning time and time again.

The food is delicious and the space elegant and relaxing but it is somewhat crowded. This makes the officious waitstaff even more intrusive. They snatch your plates away when you put down your fork for a minute, and lurk around in back of diners looking for things to do. One of my colleagues said that this must be a management issue, that waiters are pressured to look busy or to hurry patrons. I personally will not be back.

A wonderful experience as always. They have excellent food and service - I am never disappointed.

Made a reservation for Sunday evening. Had beef tartare and little gem salad. Both were light and delicious. For dinner shared risotto and rib eye. Steak was cooked perfectly. Service was swift and polite. Will go back

Our favorite downtown Burlingame restaurant! Not only is the food exceptional, the service is top notch! I highly recommend the gnocchi, salmon and ribeye!

Went to the farmers market that is every weekend today, me and my husband sat down with some snacks from the farmemarket, due to medical issues we decided to take eat some our snacks while we waited for the waiter to bring us the menu. We looked at the menu and picked some items to order. Then the supervisor came to our table saying that we had to leave, because we had food from outside. Assuming that we were not gonna eat or order anything, he kicked us out. He was very rude, and his customer service was awful. I would not come back to this place even know I have not even tried the food.

We came for lunch not brunch on a Sunday. We chose this place so we wouldn't be limited to just brunch food like a lot of restaurants do on a Sunday. We were soooo happy with our choice! Their menu had a nice variety. The restaurant had a nice vibe too! Service was attentive and helpful as well.

Heirloom Tomatoes with Burrata- tasty
Butter Lettuce salad with grilled chicken- my cousin was happy with her choice
Baby Kale with Steak- yum! It tasted a little sweet and savory.

This place seemed like a nice meeting spot for groups. I would definitely return just to try their dinner menu.

Had Sunday lunch at Park@ Howard. Love the rustic decor. A lot of wines for wine enthusiasts. The food was pretty well cooked and presented beautifully. The ingredients are very fresh. However they are little on the salty side for us. We will be back for dinner.

Park and Howard is a lovely local restaurant/bistro in Burlingame - not overly flashy, not crazy creative but just really good food and something for everyone. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, comfort food, first class attentive service (have never found myself waiting for anything) and not too loud. I never liked brussel sprouts but the brussel sprout chips are really delicious. Good tuna tartare, octopus, crab cakes, salads, salmon, seared ahi, chocolate lava cake; others in our party said the meat was really good. Upscale but not over the top - just a nice place to go out with a date or a small group.

Dietary restrictions: They could handle all our restrictions from shell fish allergies to diary to gluten. Very mindful kitchen staff.

Parking: Lots of street parking within 1-2 blocks - have never really had to go farther than that - there is a huge paid lot a couple blocks away down Howard Street if push came to shove.
