New American Restaurants near Millbrae, CA

“We had one of the best experiences last night. Tim our waiter was one of the best we have had. He was able to find Sprite Zero for my wife's drink. He also delivered a warm chocolate chip cookie with a small scoop of ice cream for my wife even though it wasn't in the menu. His ability to go above the call of duty and not just say no I can't get that for you was so amazing it had to make sure it is recognized. Exceptional service needs to be acknowledge and rewarded. Thanks again Tim for making our night! Oh yeah by the way the food was very good too!��“

“Friendly people and good food.“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“It’s the best neighborhood diner in the South end of the city. The food is always fresh and tasty. The owner’s, Sean and Andrea put a lot of love into what they do and it shows. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food here is absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this little gem in the Lakeside neighborhood enough. Reasonable prices as well as many menu choices. Do yourself a favor and go there and sample everything, you will be very glad you did.“

“The do called "inclusive" atmosphere is really just an owner who hates everyone who has different views. If your social or political views are woke, you aren't welcome. Spend your money elsewhere. This guy is an idiot.“

“Best people, best beer, insane genius level FRIES!!!“

“Super friendly staff. This is me and my dates go to spot. We order food and hookah.

This is definitely a place u take ur date to.

If u have a girls night out, this is the place. Many times we been there, there's been those.

The staff is very patient knowledgeable. "Patient" is very important bcuz many of us aren't familiar with the food or culture. But there hasn't been any problems with anyone or food or hookah.

My date always asks to go here and I never turn her down.

Also, their hookah is decently priced. The same as other places i go to, to hookah.

If I come alone, my date considers it "cheating." ?

Food is decently priced. We were surprised but glad. I'm also glad it's a one stop spot. As in, we don't have to go to another place to eat then come to hookah.“

With salad and French I enjoyed two glasses of wine my husband was unhappy Because they don’t serve hard liquor he had a hard day at the office and looking forward to taking me out for dinner. and enjoying a couple of drinks. and would she he really needed“

“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!“

“I came here to celebrate a special occasion with my wife and friends. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming.

The food was delicious! We did the 5 course set menu. I would recommend the wagyu, the ravioli and the chocolate pot dcreme for choices on the set menu. For extras, definitely get the uni creme brulee. It was super tasty.“

“Yvette, the owner of Swing Shift, has cooked, owned and managed restaurants, AND has traveled extensively. She has brought those experiences to Swing Swift and created a “Greatest Hits” menu. My favorite? The tacos from Mexico City are to die for! Chicharrones give them texture and the tortillas are sublime. Not your usual CalMex tacos. My wife could live on rice. She fell in love with the 5 Spice Fried Rice. The pork belly is tasty, not fatty. And a fried egg finishes the dish. Yvette’s burger isn’t from her travels, it’s from her chef’s brain. She marries spices and cheese and high quality beef to create a new burger experience. Ya gotta try it! While we were there, a regular customer walked in, the staff greeted him and said, “Gumbo?” “Yes.” “Anything else?” “No.” He’s in there all the time, JUST for the gumbo. It will remind you of New Orleans. On a personal note, my mother and grandmother used to challenge each other to chili cook-offs and both their chilis were superb. Mom, Grandma, don’t let Yvette join the contest. Her chili is that good! My wife liked the wine list and I was surprised to find mock-tails (try the Sour!) that were actually good, and not just a mishmash of ingredients like so many places. And they take reservations….yay!“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“Their chef Ramzy openly admits to tampering with the food of Jewish customers and ownership does nothing. Avoid this place and the Nazis who run it.“

“Great food! Wonderful outside park let! Wonderful owners & servers! A real destination restaurant!“

“This restaurant deserves 10 stars! It is the best Chinese restaurant in the Bay area.“

“Fast friendly service and excellent food. It’s and enjoyable experience each time.“

“My son took me here for lunch - we’d been meaning to try it. We were very pleased - amazing view with tiered tables so other guests aren’t blocking the view. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious and nicely presented. As a nice addition, there was a pianist playing while we dined which added to the ambience. We will come back because it was such a nice treat. One of those places that makes me love living in California!“

“Food was great and exquisitely plated.“

“Recommended 100%, great food, great place to have breakfast with your family and friends, been there so many times with my family every time we have a chance, if you want to have a great meal with your loved ones and friends.. hey let me tell you.. this is definetely the place!..five stars!!“

“BG is a gorgeous restaurant, with well prepared food, and live music/jazz, most days of the week. Owners are very personable and hands-on, which is rare, amongst restaurants. Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!“

“It my cousin’s favorite restaurant, so after services we enjoyed a great meal.“

“Dinner was delicious Went to table of 10 Met some new people“

“This is a very sweet little restaurant. The service was good. The place was clean and neat, but it smelled like Fabuloso and since that is such a distinct outer in a cleaning product, it wasn’t pleasant for me. The food was decent, though on the price was right.“

“Great place for fish and chips or a burger!“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“Cute place, friendly service, nice atmosphere, great white hot chocolate.“

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.“

“Eskender and his team bring a full menu of flavors from his native Ethiopia to 3rd St. in Bayview. During COVID, you can get his outstanding dishes on Tuesdays only from 12-3pm. Order online and pick-up by 3. The “family pack” pictured features 5 entrees, soup, salad as well as a bonus dessert and sauce for $50 (no substitutions). The food travels and reheats well so it literally can feed you for a week.“

“This meal, which just happened to fall on Valentine's Day, was a lovely beginning to our trip which started with a flight out of SFO. Fortunately I had thought to make a reservation or we never would have gotten in. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy and not too dressy, and the food and wine were great. I especially enjoyed my risotto with scallops; while the scallops were small, they were tender and there were plenty of them. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind when we visit the area in the future.“

“A SUPERB RESTAURANT. [Original] A SUPERB RESTAURANT.“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“Last week, my friends and I went to Traverse for a catch-up session during their happy hour, and we had a blast. We enjoyed playing table shuffleboard, which added a fun, competitive edge to our evening. Sipping on wine from their well-curated collection made the experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed yet lively gathering, and we all left with great memories. Traverse is definitely a spot worth revisiting for its enjoyable activities and excellent wine selection!“

“The Cowboy and chili cheese tots!“

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍“

“Fantastic night! Enjoyed Sema and her hospitality tremendously!“

“My coworker and I visited Anecdote for lunch and had a fantastic time. We enjoyed the **Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl**, with ahi tuna, steamed rice, and spicy mayo, and the **Summer Quinoa Bowl**, which my vegetarian coworker found both refreshing and filling. The meal was delicious, and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Both eating here and working here were one of the highlights of my time in the Culinary Program.“

“I was told someone on Yelp recommended the burger, so I ordered it. I chose the sweet potato fries, which are almost always disappointing, but only after forcing the poor, overworked server to guarantee that if I did not like them, he would replace them with regular fries. I get that way after a bit of rose.

Anyway, the burger was actually QUITE GOOD! And I LOVED the sweet potato fries!

My companion had the beet salad, which sounded dreadful but was great!

Well done, hotel restaurant!“

“Our reservation originally was at 12:30pm on Mothers' Day, but we came early and just asked the host if we can be seated. She checked and we were seated right away. I did not get a chance to ask her name. Our server was Andre, very Professional and quick service. The food was well cooked and tastes so good. We enjoyed our dining experience and would definitely come back.“
