“Visited this place on a bit of a whim as we were staying at a nearby hotel for a tenth anniversary staycation. The venue itself quite charming. We sat indoors at the bar next door as the outdoor seating was full and the actual restaurant was taped off (private event?). My husband and I very much enjoyed the food. Be warned - prices are on the higher side. The food is very good though. I had the sole and he had the bouillabaisse. I felt his portion was on the smaller side for the price, but overall good. We wanted cocktails, but at $20+ a pop, it wasn’t in the cards.“

The Bistro - Eat. Drink. Connect.® Bistros •
550 Shell Blvd, Foster City - 2.88 miles

“The location was interesting. It was not easy to get into all the time. Most of the time, we had to do a u-turn to get into the driveway. Convenience wise, the location was great. There was a Starbucks and food within walking distance. Costco was across the street. The room was clean, comfortable and very spacious. The only strange thing about the room was the placement of the television relative to the bed. Most hotels have the television at the foot of the bed. The television was placed on the side of the bed. The layout of the furniture lent itself to the spacious feel of the room, though. I love hotels where the sink is outside the bathroom. You can get ready for bed or going out while someone is either taking a shower or using the toilet. The only issue I had was the toilet paper holder. Because it was loose, the toilet paper kept on falling when we tried to put any pressure on the roll. The staff was polite and helpful. We were given a parking permit, but there is no parking fee. There was plenty of parking. We were able to park close to our room, which is unusual. I would definitely stay here agin.“

“I think this is the best Chinese in Burlingame. Food is fantastic Services amazing and the owner is very welcoming. He checked a couple of times to make sure my food was good. Everything tasted good and made a couple of really good recommendations. I’d have the Mu Shu, pork with pancakes.“
