“I give them a five because Salvadorian food is it's own flavors. You know what I mean, they have the flavors. But also, they make their papusas fresh to order. I know this because I can't eat dairy so I asked him what kind they have... He must get asked that a lot because he had a long pointer stick by the wall and whipped it out and started pointing to the menu above the register on the wall ? basically you can order any combination of ingredients. So I got a bean and zucchini one. It was so good. It comes with a sauce that tastes kind of like the juice we make Mexican rice with, but I loved it. And also the slaw they give to put on it. I'd def eat that same thing again. I also got a rice and bean burrito. I like getting simple things places because I feel like if they can do simple dishes flavorfully, then they know their stuff. And the burrito was good. I'll go there again for sure.”
“Great place for some great food . Very clean almost feels like im home eating ??Parking: Street parking always availableKid-friendliness: Kid chairs and clean place for kids and familyWheelchair accessibility: Has wheel chair acces”
“Ideally I would have to say I would give Robin a 3.5 stars. Upon arriving to the restaurant, it was storming outside and there were no signs for us to find the place. When we entered, we got greeted by friendly staff members and got seated. I think what makes Robin a bit more unique compared to other omakase places is that you can choose your own price range and the chefs accommodate with what you had picked, but in my opinion I would have preferred them to give a set price to choose from. Inside of the restaurant was beautiful, I loved the interior design, but if you're looking for a quiet/intimate omakase experience this is not the place for that. Music is pretty loud and the parties around us were talking with their outside voice , which I didn't mind because like I mentioned the vibes at Robin is definitely more casual. In terms of the quality of food, I would have to say, while everything was super fresh and good, nothing stood out to me. On top of that, every omakase I've been to so far, I would have been full 80% in but we left Robin still hungry. Our total came out to be $470, and I would have expected to leave full. I wished they had taken out the potato chip nigiri and the noodle dish, because I would have preferred to receive more fish. The nigiri that was part of the courses was super small, and as I mentioned, while everything was good, I was not amazed. Still highly recommend if you've never experienced omakase before, only tip is to book at the bar seating bc you'll get the full experience that way.”
“I would tell you how great the food and service was, and how much we enjoyed the evening, but I don't want to make reservations harder to get as we are returning! Not only great meat and seafood, but wonderful vegetarian dishes. And desserts were over the top!”
“An absolute favorite that I am sure to visit on every trip to the Bay. Very unique fusions of Indian and Californian flavors with something for every palate. My favorites are the sesame leaf, burrata kulcha, house salad and dry boat scallops. Also don’t sleep on the cocktails. Very nicely crafted.”
“Everything was spectacular.... The hosts at the door are courteous. Ordering is unique because everyone has their own bill. I kind of miss being able to go to the bar with cash...”
“Had early dinner at kajiken on a Friday night around 530pm. There was no wait but a line started to form as soon as we got seated. I got the homura and it was good - noodles tasted fresh with good chew. I would say this dry ramen has similarities to Taiwanese minced pork noodles. On the table are condiments (garlic, chili oil, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seed) for you to adjust to your taste. I think i prefer regular ramen with broth; i was missing the super rich soup that comes to mind when i think "ramen". Having said that, it was a good dish if you're in the mood for it.”
“The culinary expedition to 'Smoked Heaven' was nothing short of spectacular. Each bite of the tender, slow-smoked brisket melted in my mouth, releasing a symphony of flavors that were both complex and comforting. The smoky aroma, infused with a subtle hint of hickory, enveloped the meat, enhancing its juiciness and depth of flavor. The accompanying homemade BBQ sauce, with its perfect balance of tangy and sweet, complemented the brisket beautifully, elevating the dish to new heights. The sides, particularly the creamy coleslaw and savory baked beans, were delightful, offering a refreshing contrast to the rich, smoky meat. 'Smoked Heaven' not only delivers on its promise of authentic BBQ excellence but also excels in creating an unforgettable dining experience that leaves you craving more.”
“WOW!! If you want a meal experience of a lifetime - this one tops the charts!! Everything on the menu is a culinary delight. The staff is delightful - a special shout out to our server extraordinaire, Greg (xoxo); the Wine Director, Jim Rollston is incredibly knowledgeable & insightful!!I cannot use enough superlatives to describe this dining experience.Thank you Village Pub - Oh.What.A.Night!!Vegetarian options: Always some nice vegetarian selections.Parking: Just note: the entrance is in the rear, off of Woodside Rd. [CA 84] - when Google says, "you have arrived", pull around to the back.”
“Very happy to have Simply Pasta close by! Love the concept and the execution. Simple and customizable, very generous portions, good value, and--most importantly--fresh and delicious food! This is not like some fast casual joint where you sacrifice quality for price. Ordered takeout: - Penne with meat sauce, sausage, chicken, broccoli, mushroom. - Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. - Fettuccine Alfredo with sun dried tomatoes, olives. - Seafoods Galore: linguine with clams, scallops, shrimp in white wine, garlic, and butter sauce. - Pistachio cannolis. - Fruit tarts. All the pasta was nicely cooked, but not al dente, if that's your thing. Maybe they can do it upon request. The scallops and shrimp were tender and perfectly cooked. Everything was tasty and well balanced in flavor. Nothing was too salty, sweet, greasy, hard, soggy, or dry. Really can't fault anything about the food, which is pretty rare for any kind of restaurant! The desserts were excellent as well and not an afterthought money grab. I love food and consider myself pretty discerning. I'm really quite impressed by Simply Pasta and look forward to coming here a lot. It feels like they put a lot of thought and care into their products and business. I hope they never change and stick around for a long time!”
“Everything was SO delicious: the scallop crudo with peas, the tortelloni , the spaghetti w/Dungeness crab, the waygu hamburger and fries and the apple tart tatin. I think one cannot go wrong with dining at Camper and I look forward to trying the pizza on my next trip :)”
“This place is absolutely fantastic. Definitely in my top 5 Mediterranean restaurants in the Bay. Their eggplants are awesome and their chocolate dessert is perfect. I'd take any opportunity to go there to eat”
“Details. Details Details. What a refreshing, beautiful experience. I can't get over the experience of this restaurant. The kindness, the service and beautiful location made me so excited to come back. Love the menu and the exabition kitchen! I'm excited to make this my spot!”
“We went to Sundance to celebrate my husband's birthday, and this OG place did not disappoint. The vibe was lovely. The service and timing from our waitress, Ashley G., were outstanding. Complimentary freshly baked bread. Free mud pie (ice cream cake) dessert for the birthday boy. Both of our steaks were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The veggies were still crisp, and the garlic mashed potatoes were to die for. Their Ceasar salad was perfect with crisp romaine, perfect dressing and cheese ratio, anchovies, and crunchy (not hard) croutons. Lastly, their drinks were so good we had to get another round. This place is a solid choice for a nice night out. PS: Don't forget to grab some Andes chocolate on your way out.”
“Mert was an excellent waiter! He made the experience lovely and had great recommendations for our group. The sea bass was excellent and they have a lovely selection of appetizers for a number of dietary restrictions.”
“Service was amazing! Garrett was so attentive and would bring everything we needed before we could even think of asking. Service like that is what makes the experience truly memorable. The atmosphere is good too—not too loud and beautiful decor. Ingredients were delicious, but I was not a fan of some dishes (could be personal preference). The cucumber salad seemed too acidic and the pork belly with burrata pairing didn’t go well in my opinion. But again, the quality was great and the rest is personal preference. Would be an injustice if I didn’t mention that trout was absolutely delectable! Might be the best one I’ve ever had. Also, the vanilla soft serve with cardamom crumble was a hit!”
“We had the most delicious meal last night at Protégé. Each course of the tasting menu was perfection. At the end we couldn't choose a favorite because they were all equally incredible. Our server, Fleur, was so knowledgeable about the food and the wine and gave us wonderful recommendations for the perfect wines to compliment the various courses. The whole experience was wonderful and I can't wait to go back sometime.Dietary restrictions: They made sure they were aware of all of my dietary restrictions and ensured the food I was served was safe for me to eat by making small adjustments when needed.”
“Rene was an incredible server!! He was short handed and was able to still take care of our party without an issue!! He surprised us with the best drinks, I asked him to make it strong and he did not disappoint. We were very happy with our drinks, food and service and everything was impeccable!”
“What a wonderful surprise! I needed gluten free bakery goods, and Lolita Artisanal bakery came through with many choices. The Argentinian Alfjores were a huge hit, as was the amazing gluten free coconut macaroons. Definitely check this cafe out!”
“As a coffee lover, this place has been an epiphany to me. This is beyond 3rd wave coffee. New coffee processing methods sourced from far-flung roasters produce incredible flavors.”
“I live on the east bay but work in the peninsula. Was craving birra tacos and found them on yelp. My husband has food allergies but was willing to try the chicken soft tacos. I brought everything home across the 92. He didn't have an allergic reaction! He loved them so much, he asked me to buy them again afterwards work the next day! The birra tacos were delicious as well! The consume (dipping) is really good! Everything was wrapped nicely and still warm by the time I got home. The second day I tried a chicken burrito and that was delicious as well! I highly recommend!”
“As a vegetarian we are always looking for places that serve delicious Italian dishes. We found that here! The eggplant Parmesan was off the charts! The spinach ravioli was perfection. Combined with the service we felt like we were indeed back in Italy!”
“It was an amazing experience being at divino having lunch.The food is amazing and the service awesome, friendly and always you see an smile in their facesFully recommended”
“A lil pricey for a sandwich but very good stuff. Nice fresh sourdough; the bread was soft and had a nice slight crunch to it. The original (ham and turkey) was tasty and came with cheese. I saved half for the next day and it was still delicious. Somehow even better when cold. The crust sourdough dip with warm au jus (roast beef) was amazing. The roast beef was so tender! It was worth it. I also really enjoyed the bacon jam; I didn't know what to expect but I enjoyed the bit of sweetness and caramelized onions in it. Really solid! The bread also held up nicely when dipped into the au jus. The cookies are not too bad; I tried the lemon and it smelled great. Taste was good too but unfortunately it was a lemon cookie with coconut shavings inside (which was not mentioned) and I'm not the biggest fan of coconut! The interior is nice and spacious. They are located in an office space.”
“Delicious food and very helpful service staff. They took their time explaining menu items and helped with recommendations. Architecture is nice and the wood table by the entrance is just gorgeous.”
“My friend and I stumbled upon Shekoh Confections purely by chance, while we were strolling the streets of Palo Alto during a business trip from Florida. We found the shop to be inviting and staff very friendly and informative. The delicacies were superb - we tasted a couple and decided to purchase three boxes - mine were meant to be gifts for family members. Unfortunately, a day after the purchase I had an accident and ended up in a LA hospital - and gave the chocolates away to my incredible nurses who took such good care of me. The nurses raved about the treats and I shared the shop's information with them. I look forward to ordering the chocolates (and the beautiful chocolate shoes) online - and hope that they can be delivered to Florida.”
“Good Food specifically Appitizer’s.Balance of Taste can be felt.Wanted to give 5-star but we had high expectation from Daal-makheni which was missing heavy milk to a great portion.”
“Great customer service staff.I am very satisfied with the delicious food.Of course, pasta ? and pizza ? are must-haves. We recommend coming in large groups to share a little.”
“Service is always polite and efficient. Food arrives quickly, and it's always perfect food for cool winter evenings. The spicy ramen w/ added egg, and standard tsukemon are our gotos. Plenty of filling fatty flavors and textures.Adding sides, appetizers or the extra meat makes it a Lot of food, with no room left over for one of the many dessert-centric walkable places. We go early in the evening, as even years after opening, this place has a line (worth it) even in the middle of the week.It's consistent, full of flavor, deep comfort food. One of my top 5 in downtown San Mateo”
“Been going to Maria’s Cafe about 2x / week for a few months now. The Club Sandwich and the Chicken Salad Sandwich are addictive. Complimentary potato salad is delicious. Wholesome vibe too. I’d pay double their prices.”
