“Nina's is the perfect little community café. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is quaint and welcoming. I have only experienced the utmost professionalism and friendly energy. Nina and her staff are not here just to serve, but share their heart and culture through food. I'm proud to have them and their establishment as a part of our community!“

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)“

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant“

“The staff here was very friendly and fun to deal with, especially the cashier.

The food was good, but nothing to write home about. Don’t get me wrong, the meats were cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious. But the bark, my favorite part of smoked barbecue, was lacking some flavor and pepperiness.

The portion sizes were pretty decent and they run on average with what a lot of barbecue places charge“

“Fresh, flavorful, and high-quality salads! Every bite is packed with top-tier ingredients, crisp greens, and deliciously crafted flavors that keep you coming back for more. Whether it's a classic or a bold new creation, Starbird salads never disappoint and the price is right! I love it!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“What a great place to have breakfast or brunch. We are coming from SF to Filoli and were looking for place to eat. This Cafe popped up on the map. And I’m so glad we stopped by. I had the special bagel and my husband had a pastrami sandwich, with mint lemonade and turkey coffee.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“This restaurant is a true standout for anyone who appreciates creative cuisine in a stylish, welcoming setting. The ambience is modern yet cozy, with a warm atmosphere that makes it perfect for a relaxed evening or a special occasion. Every detail, from the decor to the plating, feels carefully thought out.

The food was impressive across the board. The oysters were incredibly fresh and bright, and the swordfish was a real star, perfectly cooked with flavors that felt both bold and balanced.

The Salt and Pepper Spanish Octopus deserves special mention. It was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection, tender, flavorful, and paired with unique elements like persimmon and fermented napa cabbage that added depth and complexity. It’s clear the kitchen puts a lot of care into crafting dishes that are both visually stunning and delicious.

If you’re looking for a place that combines high-quality ingredients, inventive flavors, and a great vibe, this is absolutely worth a visit. I’d recommend it without hesitation, you’ll leave impressed and wanting to come back.“

“I love Tong Sui!! Glad there's one near where I usually get my car serviced. Stopped by for the first time and they got A LOTTA flavors to try!! I love jasmine flavors and this summer they have it as a Jasmine Coconut Pudding!! Hope it'll stick around all-season instead!! Servicer is super nice and attentive as well!! Will come back!!“

“Wow, what an amazing spot. Not only was the food amazing, but the vibe was extremely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a hawaiian and ottoman pizza and they were top notch. Crunchy crust with premium ingredients, everything was perfect.

I saw the table next to us full of regulars eating an amazing looking flat bread. I asked what it was… not only did they tell me it was lahmacun, but they insisted I eat of large piece from their plate. The owner gave me a fresh plate of tomatoes and onions and chili’s and taught me how to eat it. If you like lamb, this is THE dish to get. Simply amazing and nothing like I’ve ever had.

My family including 6 year old twins loved everything. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wow! Went for Mother’s Day brunch - spectacular! Food was served family style, flavors were excellent.
Eggs were cooked to perfection (caviar was optional but worth it), crispy breakfast potatoes with shaved truffle added, decadent French toast, and so much more. Very sweet details of beautiful floral arrangements, and small box of chocolates for all the moms and guests. A+, will be back!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“This was our first time here and everything we ordered were so refreshing and delicious! Wife ordered the salted coco crunch and I got the mango sticky rice coco pudding. Not too sweet. (Not sweet enough for me but the wife loves it). Great atmosphere to hang out!“

“Delicious food, super friendly service. A little slower than a typical restaurant, but that’s because everything is made to order and not sitting around in a pan waiting to be served. The food was amazing, and so pretty!“

“Best scallops ever everything was cooked to perfection wonderful servers and the owner makes you feel like family“

“WOW! Their food was SO delicious! Their pad see ew was so chewy and yummy, and the pad Thai was so flavorful too. The yellow curry was amazing too. The inside is super trendy and cute, lots of lights and flowers. The staff was so attentive, and the food came extremely fast. Highly recommend!!“

“This is actually my third or fourth visit here. I have recently enjoyed the fiesta bowl with Bistec(Steak) and a fiesta bowl with Milanesa de Pollo (Breaded chicken). Both were very good. They have a good amount of sauces available to add on to your meals and the staff are always happy to help.“

“Excente atención Delicioso todo El Sr Adrian y sus 2 compañeros nos atendieron de lujo 100% recomendable“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Chicken souvlaki is surprisingly really tender for chicken breast meat.

Get that above all else.

Also, I think the classic hummus is better than the harissa hummus. The combo plate was a good value, but wasn’t overly impressed by the gyro meat.“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“I really enjoyed my Friday morning visit around 10 a.m. There was about a 5-minute wait, a short line, and all the chairs were taken, lots of people standing around and the space was loud and crowded. I was meeting a friend, and even in the bustle we were able to have a wonderful conversation. By about 10:30, the crowd thinned out, and we found a table to enjoy not just our conversation but also some delicious coffee.

She ordered a flat white and loved it, saying it had a caramel-like taste. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with oat milk (so good!) and an avocado toast. Next time, I’ll definitely order the avocado toast with an egg and try the miso latte the barista recommended.

The café has seating for maybe 15–20 people, either individually or paired up. Overall, a great spot, I’ll definitely be back!“

“Oak + Violet is one of the best restaurants I've dined at in years. The food is prepared with imagination and great care. They specialize in locally sourced food which adds so much flavor and freshness to their dishes. They offer a wide variety of wines, even if you order by the glass. The service was great too.“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“The best vegan food Best ever service-our family go to for family events and every day dining ❤️“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“I don’t think I’ve ever come here and been unsatisfied with the food or service. Every time I do come in, I wonder why I haven’t come more often. Food is consistently amazing, service is surprisingly great for an order ahead type restaurant, and it’s an overall quick dining experience.“

“First time visiting a Mountain Mike’s and we are repeat customers because of Dave!! He provided excellent customer service & my kids loved going back here to eat. Highly recommend!“

“Fresh Angus beef from Harris Ranch, grilled to perfection.“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“the coffee's good, the people are even better!“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“The vibes are pristine. The environment in the restaurant is bright, beautiful and genuinely welcoming. The food came relatively quickly, and every single item was fresh and genuinely made from scratch and with love. The hummus - and surprisingly given the restaurant’s name - was for me in many ways the star of the show. Every meat was cooked pretty impeccably.

I am personally not a fan of the positive of seasoning and salt. That underscores much of Mediterranean gastronomical persuasions, but respect the art enough to know that these guys will deliver. The servers were respectful and had a dutiful energy about them insofar as they seem to take pride and the commitment to good service. Was it the most excellent Mediterranean food I’ve ever had in my life? No. But if you’re in the area and you want a very memorable, aesthetic restaurant experience in a vibe-forward, sort of way, you have to pay them a visit.“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“This has to be one of the best pizza spots in San Mateo. I never would have thought that butter chicken and pizza would work well together but I will happily stand corrected. The pizza was flavorful and made me want to go back for more. This business will see me again for SURE.“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“Banana Foster French toast and their freshly squeezed orange juice.“

“Great cheap breakfast spot, the staff are great and the food is good. The food was so cheap I ordered a waffle in addition to my French toast.
They have a nice little bar for single individuals.
The only thing I would change is their French toast uses regular bread. Maybe I had to ask for large Texas toast, which I prefer.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“I love this place — the coffee is top quality, and you can grab a great lunch at the same time. They offer a nice variety of drinks and meals, whether you’re dining in or just stopping by. My favorite are the cappuccino and homemade cookies ✨️✨️✨️. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, the kind of spot you'd absolutely consider for a casual date or meet-up. Highly recommend!“

“Friendly service. Delicious food.
The cucumber salad was such a treat.
Way more than expected.
And the kofte kebab were fresh and juicy.
Generous portions at a reasonable price.
Will definitely come back!“

“I have to say, I’ve had quite a journey when it comes to my opinion of this place.

The fact of the matter is that I have found the following to hold true:

1. Redwood City is far away from everything
2. The parking situation is abysmal
3. There is never a table ready when you get there
4. The food is expensive

For these reasons I used to avoid going there- not because of the food quality but it wasn’t worth going there in lieu all these things.

That being said, their meat is great, the vibes are great, and their service is great. Their beef kofta is sublime, and I have to say their falafel isn’t too bad either. They also have a pretty good frozen date juice that I enjoyed.

If you don’t mind the 4 things I listed (I am personally starting to care less and less about them in lieu of the amazing food), definitely go. This is probably the best Arab food I’ve had in the Bay Area.“
