“Really fun place a lot of l great people will definitely go back“

“The new management (Carlos Galvan) is great! We felt welcome from the moment we walked through the door! Looking forward to the Friday Night Blues Jams. Great music...great people. Thank you Rail Club!!“

“Had an incredible lunch at Impasto in San Carlos! I tried the *Bufalino Panini* with prosciutto and mozzarella, and it was simply outstanding. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the prosciutto offering just the right amount of saltiness, and the mozzarella was fresh and creamy. What really made it special was the homemade focaccia – light, airy, and perfectly crisp. You could really taste the authenticity and care in every bite. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was excellent. If you're looking for a true taste of Italy, Impasto is the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“amazing food wonder staff“

“Great venue! Fabulous staff! Be there!!“

“Great restaurant for breakfast/brunch. I was really impressed with the quality of the food and service was very quick once seated.
The wait to be seated can be long on the weekends but they do take reservations/ have a wait-list you can do before going there.“

“I hosted a small group for work at Sekoya and we had a fantastic time. Olivia, the head bartender, was super friendly and very accommodating when it came to making some custom cocktails. We were seated in the lounge area, which was really nice and casual for our group. We shared a bunch of starters and I'll have to call out that the fried mushrooms, the beef, tongue, skewers, and the crispy tuna rolls were really delicious! I had the tropical nights cocktail, which was so tasty and a good size drink. “

“Has everything. Drinks, vibe and empanadas! Been here many times. In door and outdoor options. Not too loud.

Cocktails are fun. They have a holiday menu too right now. The menu makes it easy to choose with drawings of each. Only draw back is the ice inside is huge soo not as much drink as you think.

The vibe is my fave. Open and chic. Enough seating.

The Empanadas are good. One per order. Chicken, beef, mushroom option.

Staff is chill and always attentive.“

“Met my wife here how can I not love it!“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“Nice place but one guy close early on sundays.around 9;30 pm“

“Los Altos needed a place like this. Everything was on point, from beautifully crafted drinks to the timeless elegance of the space. I specifically wanted to shoutout Josh, who made our experience even more incredible, helping us find the perfect drinks to suit our tastes while still pushing our comfort zones. His passion for his craft really shone through. I will be returning and hope to see Josh again!“

“(Translated by Google) I like it a lot because you can listen to the music you like and dance and have fun with the artists. It is a place where you forget your sorrows.(Original)Me gusta mucho porque puedes escuchar la música que te gusta y bailar y te diviertes con los artistas es un lugar donde olvidas las penas.“

“We found this bar at the last minute before closing thank goodness. They have 4 big tv for sports and a Great selection of beers and wines. The Bartender Jason was very helpful and welcoming. So glad we are not having to deal with those stupid annoying kiosks popping up everywhere else. Would definitely recommend stopping here while in SFO.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“By far was this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it!“

“👌👌beautiful the place and the drinks“

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“Cocktails and Wagyu - soooo good!“

“Had a wonderful Valentines day meal here. There is only the option to order from the course menu on Valentines. I had the mussels to start, sea bass as my main, and apple strudel for dessert. Everything was delicious and very filling.
There was a violin player at the dinner who played beautiful music.
Highly recommend for special occasions.
About $100 per person for the course menu.
Would not recommend for Vegetarians/Vegans“

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

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

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

“I was happily surprised to find Saturday evening reservations available at this outstanding Menlo Park establishment. I was in Palo Alto to visit my god-daughter at Stanford and had a hankering for some awesome food while in town. The restaurant has its own (free) parking lot, which was also a big plus. We were greeted warmly and seat promptly for our 7:15 pm reservation. The services was very attentive, right off the bat, with water and fresh baked bread arriving swiftly. The lamb chop appetizer was divine and our only complaint about the delicious dungeness crab gnocchi appetizer is that it wasn't available as an entree portion (we made a suggestion to the chef to change that). She joined the clean plate club with her risotto entree and I really enjoyed the fresh catch entree. If you drink lemonade, don't miss out on the lavender rendition offered here. We were saddened that they has already sold out of the homemade snickerdoodle ice-cream, but I guess we'll have to save it for next time. I can't wait to visit here again. It was simply outstanding. Thankfully my god-daughter has two more years at Stanford!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

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

“We love coming to Wunderbar, and whenever we bring friends here, they love it too, and we have a blast.

Kiernan is always an incredible host from the moment we walk through the door. He is warm, fun and thoughtful. He knows his drinks and delivers a phenomenal level of service and sets a high bar - not just for Wunderbar, but for all high-end cocktail establishments.

All the bartenders are fantastic, from Selina, to Andrew, to Brandon. The drinks are always on point. And of course, the endless supply of warm buttery popcorn is a great bonus!“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Staff are friendly. They’re pet friendly. My Ribeye steak was the best!“

“I’ve been there a few times and is always very good I highly recommend“

“Yummy food. Highly recommend“

“We have been here several times now. It is a cozy and relaxed restaurant. The menu is somewhat limited however everything we have tried has been delicious. The staff are very pleasant. We will be back.“

“This place is an amazing spot, specializing in a variety of amazing food options including, fusion and incredible appetizers that are easily shared and make for a great time in any dining experience. The staff was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The price was reasonable and the atmosphere was that of a high end restaurant. We did however experience a slight sewer odor when we first arrived but it dissipated shortly afterwards.“

“A beautiful Spring lunch & afternoon! Delicious entrees!“

“The filet was perfectly cooked. My favorite, always consistent- I've even door dashed this an it came perfect. 10 for consistency. But the atmosphere and the attentive service makes it even better! Thank you Stella for a wonderful meal! 👏👏“

“We sat the bar and the service was friendly and fast. Love the cocktails 🍹 especially the bee knees gin.“

“We were weary travelers stopping by Scotty's in hope of a more chill vibe with some good food, and Scottys delivered! Our bartender, Sergio, was so friendly and fun! We got some inside knowledge about the town as we are from Oregon. The drinks were perfect and the food was top notch! I would have expected to pay a lot more for the quality of food and service we received at literally any of the surrounding places. We will visit Palo Alto again if only to go back to Scotty's as a new tradition! Thank you, Sergio, for making our anniversary dinner a great one! Someone give him a raise!“

“Fantastic flavors and presentations at Twelvemonth! We went for a family dinner on a Friday night and the place was hopping. Every dish was really quite tasty, especially the tamales. Good cocktail and mocktail menu, and good selection of wines and beers.

The space is beautiful too, with high ceilings, lots of space, and a gorgeous outside area with tons of seating.

The entire menu is plant-based and vegan, which made the vegans amongst us ecstatic of course. But then the omnivores were happy too because it's just really tasty food!

Can't wait to try the prix fix tasting menu, but one of us didn't want it, and it requires full table participation. Next time then.“

“Delicious northern-style Vietnamese dishes are served at this popular restaurant in downtown San Mateo. The pho soup flavor was outstanding, and the beef and noodles were perfectly cooked. Imperial rolls were also perfectly cooked. Now I understand why there’s always a long line. Possibly my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant. Fast and efficient service, with several parking lots nearby.“

“Enjoyed their Hamburger and fish & Chips Fries are excellent. Lovely surroundings, the ducks enjoyed the pool.“

“Such a great place. Beautiful outdoor dining! 🥰🥂💕“

“I’m Thai and my family was in the restaurant business so I know Thai food. Our group of over 10 people dined here today. Food was great. It was a team event so we requested a prix fixe menu and budget control. The restaurant was very responsive and go above and beyond to help us with the arrangements. The menu options was good. We had some vegans in the group and vegan options were good too. Everyone in my team loved it. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“The Cowboy and chili cheese tots!“

“Hadn’t been here in nearly 30 years, we moved to Seattle, but back for vacation. Had to have the Cancun platter. Just like I remembered!!“

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.“

“My recent stay at the Hilton Garden Inn was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, ensuring I felt right at home. The room was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything I needed for a relaxing stay.

The highlight of my stay, however, was the exceptional service at the hotel bar. José, the bartender, was amazing! Not only did he craft delicious drinks, but his friendly and genuine approach made every visit to the bar feel personal. His knowledge of cocktails and attention to detail were impressive, and he went out of his way to ensure guests were taken care of.

Overall, the hospitality at the Hilton Garden Inn exceeded my expectations, and the staff, particularly José, made the experience memorable. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“We had a nice table in the mezzanine, which we really enjoyed. We were meeting with friends who really needed to unwind from some things going on in their life. Our waiter / bartender gave us great service with time when we needed it and attention when we needed it. The food and drinks were very good. The brioche bun dessert is fantastic - highly recommend.“

“Whether you love savory or sweet baked goods, this all vegan spot is a must! Off the charts, crazy good! We went to town with the pepper bun, scallion scone, and twelve month rolls for savory. Then we got the cinnamon roll, citrus scone, and almond croissant for sweet. They boxed them separately, and omg they are all so good!“

“The bistek asado. omg! soooo tender. we ordered it medium. it was perfect. We also ordered the pollo rostisado con mole. it was tender and tasty. Thank you for accommodating us with no reservations. make reservations. place gets packed quick.“
