Food was excellent. I had their special drink called Bubbly Bliss. It came to the table as a normal drink and then they put a bubble on the drink and popped it and smoke came out. It was fun to see and very tasty. It has blood orange in it along with a few other items. I highly recommend it. Three of us had the living lettuce salad which was delicious. Looking forward to our next time there.

It's at my favorite Burlingame downtown. Nice deco, high ceiling, cozy size for waiters to bring clean plates after every meal. I liked all I ate, especially the Brussel sprouts chips & Gnocchi (they were so good!)
Although the place was full and walk-ins were waiting, the restaurant had our table ready upon our early arrival for our reservation. The place was full during our entire meal and staff was moving fast to ensure everyone was attended to nicely (all staff were well trained). Cocktails and food were very, very good. Definitely recommend the lamb riblets, onion rings, and toffee bread pudding. Definitely going back.

I have now switched from the chicken salad with cole slaw to the portabella sandwich with cole slaw. Always tasty. The manager always acknowledges my frequent visits and thanks me.
Excellent food and service but very cold for the table in the middle of the room where the door opening (which hapoened 20-30 times as diners come and go) produced a cold wind blast. They should install a curtain or some solution for this wonderful establishment

We had lunch reservation for 11 people on a weekday and every single person was delighted by the great food, comfortable seating and attentive service. Highlights were the grilled octopus appetizer and onion rings side - but everything else (except the crab cakes) was spectacular. Crab cake addition to the caesar salad was not good - two mostly bread crumb balls with a heavy dose of remoulade and slightly fishy taste...but the salad by itself was perfectly dressed and very tasty. We'll be back.

great food and drinks. excellent service and coffee. it was pretty crowded even on a monday night but service was impeccable. too loud for any conversation though. will definitely come back again.

Met a friend for lunch. Lovely window table with attentive wait staff. Playing was lovely. Soup and dessert were great complements to the ahi tuna. Delicious. Great choice by my friend!

First of all I walked in and the floor was sticky, unclean. Second my salmon was raw in the middle. Instead of having so much wait staff, get floor cleaners, and be sure to check that food is cooked thoroughly.

1st time try this restaurant with great appetizers & drinks!! Love the atmosphere & great
My beef tartar was good. Spaghetti with meatballs were just ok. The pasta would not hold the sauce. Very smooth. They should start buying a more expensive pasta. Cafe affogato was good again.
I ordered the duck and it was very good, my wife was hesitant about the lamb and waiter offer to bring it and check with us. He brought the food and never came back to check, strange enough the lamb was kind of tough but the flavor was good. We had to ask the bus boy to get us the bill as waiter never came back, we chose not to order dessert because of the wait

The portions are very tiny. We had the tuna tartare - it was 80% avocado, 20% tuna and it didn't taste like fresh tuna. We each ordered a salad with a protein addition (I got the crab cakes and my friend got the shrimp). The portions were tiny, including the portion of greens. We joked about where we would get a sandwich on the way home because we were both still hungry.

Always have a wonderful experience and meal here! This was the first time we were seated in the back room. It's lackluster and doesn't have the same vibe as the main room.

Every course, from the charcuterie board to the salad, to the main course was outstanding! Friendly, attentive service, too! I would definitely recommend Park & Howard Bistro and plan to return for another visit.
