“Came here for a friend's birthday. I wish there was more information online about their menu, but overall, we had a fantastic time, enjoying both the wine and food. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially for those of us less familiar with wine. The quaint, small setting adds to the charm, and I'll definitely return. It's a lovely spot to unwind and savor a glass of wine.“
“Ketch has been a staple at pillar point for a while. I went a couple of times back when it was the old ketch and still had a very divey feel. It now is very clean and elegant inside but they made sure to keep the old sign and some remnants of the old spot. This place holds a special place in my heart. My dad used to go here all the time. The food is much better! The calamari sandwich is to die for and the clam chowder is delicious! I will definitely be coming back often for the food and the memories.“
“I last visited Seville Tapas long before the pandemic and was happy to revisit this local Spanish gem of a restaurant last weekend after a long absence where the chef-owner trained at the California Culinary Academy. My friend swooned over the delicious gazpacho and Piquillo peppers filled with herbed goat cheese, while I enjoyed the traditional Tortilla Española/potato omelet. We also enjoyed a glass of Spanish white wine while sitting on the deck and enjoying the gorgeous views on a perfect day. BTW: we both live in SF and can't wait to return. Note: The reverse side of the menu also offers a selection of American items.“
“This is our second time going now. Service again was very good and super attentive. The wine selection is outstanding and honestly overwhelming. We just usually get the flights to be able to sample what they recommend. The flatbread pizza is very tasty with good crunch texture. Will go back again!“
“We’re regulars from the time the restaurant was named Rasa and the name change has, if anything, made it better. The food, service and ambiance are all amazing. It remains our go-to restaurant for all special occasions and taking friends visiting from outside the Bay Area!!“
“Great, relaxing spot for a glass of wine and conversation. The wine list has a nice range of familiar and unusual varietals. The proprietor listened to our preferences and offered several tastes for us to select a couple of glasses. Simple menu of cheese boards, etc. to help soak up the wine!We’ll be back to this nice spot in Moss Beach!“
“Held a group dinner for 14 here on a Friday. The process for booking, menu selection, etc., were all very professional and easy. Great menu options, flexible re food allergies, and the room was lovely - if too tight for the cocktail/ circulating hor d'oeuvres concept. People clustered in the 4 corners of the room and didn't have room to really mingle. Considering it was a relatively big group, the food was quite good (though duck was a bit tough & scallops were disappointingly small - not succulent).I would come again. Conundrum is that the minimum was high for our group, so I'd book again for a larger group, but the room would be really too tight for more than, say, 16 people.“
“One of my favorite places. 1st, it has the best and friendliest service of anywhere in town! The food never disappoints. I like to go earlier in the evening before it gets too crowded and noisy. I don’t like to eat a meal with a friend when it’s too loud to have a conversation. Would recommend this place for great service and food!“
“We love this place and it is our go to place to bring all of our friends. Their wine selection is outstanding and their food is superb....the specials are so delicious, especially their drunken noodles! Check them out, I promise they never disappoint.Dietary restrictions: They pay special attention to my wife's food allergies and are meticulous about making sure she is taking care of.“
“There are a few small plates available from each of several Mediterranean cuisines. The overall collection is somewhat eclectic, but the quality was consistently very good and mixing the different styles worked. The wine list is also good and fairly representative of the different cuisines.“
“A couple of friends and I went for a late lunch, we ordered a carbonara pasta, steak (med rare), and the seafood pasta. They were so accommodating to the three of us! Menu changes everything! What great service. And, the food, especially the pasta (first time I've ordered pasta outside oven entirely Italian pasta place) was great.The waiter was kind enough to take our pictures, and although all three of us are a little quirky was so patient. Wonderful service. Great food. Ample free, safe, parking. Clean.Great American food spot!Thank you!Parking: Parking spots directly in front. Small walking distance, safe parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible with the ran for disabled or temporarily hurt people!“
“This is a culinary delight and an absolute MUST dining experience in the super quaint "Main Street" area of San Mateo. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive - as if you were honored guests in their home. The food was incredible - truly something for everyone - and delicious. The wine list is extensive - they offer Caymus Cab by the glass; a rare occurence. The cocktails were well crafted. Start to finish...this was a meal and an establishment to remember. I will be back! You need to check this place out!!Parking: Immediately in front of the restaurant is a walkable promenade (no vehicular traffic) - 2nd & 3rd Streets offer limited street parking, some of which is restricted - much is taken up by restaurant outdoor dining "parklets". YOUR BEST BET is the Main Street Parking Garage. You only pay until 6 PM...it is free until 2 AM thereafter.Kid-friendliness: Not so much. This is definitely a "hey, mom & dad, take a few hours off! Get a sitter!" kinda place.Wheelchair accessibility: Accomodating - but give them a heads up ahead of time. One of our guests had a walker and staff graciously helped her get situated, and stowed the walker while we dined.“
“What a vibe, great drinks! The bartenders are QUALITY... They are very attentive and quick to push out quality drinks. The place was not really crowded due to the rain but the patrons were diverse and respectful. One thing I did notice was that despite being able to work efficiently, the bar did cycle through workers often. Would begin socializing with the group and then look to the bar, new bartenders. Talk more, look back and it was back to original with maybe some new faces or mix of them. There was one bartender guy that looked like a model or belonged on one of those Netflix dating shows. Tipped him twice as much because... why not? The drinks were unique! There was a matcha martini that was really good. The after taste had a nice matcha aroma and the mezcal drink, campfire something. Those two were the ones I asked for and both delivered in terms of taste, visual appeal, and price. Did not get to try the food since we arrived pretty late. However, would be cool to come back soon to!“
“Rated this place five stars because it’s really the best no-nonsense brunch place I’ve been to in the Bay Area. The wait is short, the menu has amazing options, price is reasonable, and the food is of high quality and well presented. Sure, it’s not your typical elevated, extremely instagrammable type of brunch, but I prefer this to long waits and overpriced meals at other places.I’ve tried many of their toasts and croffles and they’re all phenomenal. Other favorites include the Denver omelette and ham&cheese crepe. The lattes are also great, with emerald matcha being my favourite!“
“We were in town for Valentine's Day so I made a reservation here. I knew it would be busy, which it was, but the service was still great. We were taken care of quickly, our waters were always full (which is important to me), the wine was great and the food was even better. All the wait staff were friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend Pulpo if you are in the area!“
“Saw people bringing up Kazunori but can you really compare the two? Kazunori lacked the specialty sets that Taki Nori offers. We both ordered their premium set, which included Japanese scallops, lobster, wagyu, and uni & toro hand rolls. We also tried a few of their other hand rolls a la carte style. The uni handroll was easily our favorite (Japanese uni btw!).Handroll Project is still the better value, but this is a nice addition to Bay Area. Service was also good - the server we had was very attentive and prompt. We did have a small issue with snow crab running out, but the server resolved it for us. Overall a good experience here for us.“
“You would never think this was a fine dining restaurant from the outside. Every detail on the inside is quality. From the silverware to the service, these owners did not cut corners on anything. If you come when it is slow, you will feel like royalty. The lobster bisque is mind blowing. When I say you will lick the plate, I am not exaggerating. This restaurant is a must try for any seafood lover.“
