“Bahche made our day out on a warm sunny day, even better! We came to Field Works to watch the England vs. Croatia game, and since they are in partnership with Bahche, the food was brought straight to our table! Super fresh, warm and ready to munch by all at the table! The ceviche was super juicy and tasty, the shrimp, fish and octopus was absolutely delicious. The beef and chicken skewers had just the right marinate and grill marks that made us feel outdoors, as if they were grilled right beside us. All around excellent experience for myself my brother and our friends. Anybody visiting this area needs to visit Bahche, it’s super convenient to get to between El Camino and 101-S in a super nice renewed area of Hillsdale/San Mateo. Their baklava with ice cream topped off the amazing experience and it was to our liking. I must call out their attention to detail, check out my photo of the baklava. How they place it even for a to-go packaging! Awesome and well recommended!“

“Velvet 48 is my favorite wine bar. They have interesting selections of wines and always adding new and interesting wines from Europe and the states. The staff are knowledgeable and offer tastings. They are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The noise level is perfect to enjoy your wine and conversations.“

“In July of this year we celebrated our 60 th wedding anniversary by booking their side room.for a dinner party. Carlos , manager , was so helpful in planning menu and each guests could order thatvnite with everyone menu. We had choice of 2 salads, 5 entrees and 2 desserts. Our guests all raved about food and service. There was a table with appetizers for guests as they arrived and presented so nicely. Couldn’t have been happier and we were not charged for the room which several other places wanted to charge for just room. My daughter in law was able to go over that Saturday morning to decorate and put all flower arrangements in the tables. It looked amazing. Can’t say enough good things about the evening. Good service the best ‘“

“Delicious cider. Tons of choices on draft you’re sure to find something you like from classic single varietal ciders to creative cider that blends fruit and flower/spice flavors.

Great cider club too. Always look forward to pickup day!“

“Delicious vegan options include the Scallion Oil Noodles, and the Chongqing Noodles (super spicy, but you can dilute the broth with water and it will stil be the most delicious soup you'll ever have, though it could use extra veggies), the Mapo Tofu Steamed Dumplings are divine, rhe scallion pancakes are flakey and yummy (though a bit oily), and the cucumber salad is refreshing.“

“I was craving a crisp glass of wine and a light meal, and simply wanted to get out of the house for a bit. Rouge Lounge turned out to be the perfect place to unwind. Stamos was an excellent host—we were warmly welcomed and received attentive, personalized service along with thoughtful recommendations and information about both the wine and food selections.

The pours were generous, the bread was freshly baked, and we appreciated that the wines and ingredients were sourced from local and small family-owned businesses. My husband and I, along with our 5-month-old daughter, thoroughly enjoyed this little afternoon escape and will definitely be returning. Next time, we'll have to save room for the tiramisu!“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Eve provided excellent service. She was welcoming, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable even though the bar was quite busy. She took the time to answer our questions and made us feel well taken care of. We also enjoyed the charcuterie board and the Napa Sips wine flight. Overall, it was a great stop at SFO, and we’d definitely come back.“

“Excellent place to share Cheers with your friends and family. Salute!“

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

“We have enjoyed Elia about 4 times now for dinner. Overall, very nice upscale Greek cuisine. Main dishes are generously portioned. Love the grilled artichoke and dolmathes appetizer and the salads are solid. Souvlaki was well cooked, someone in our party has always ordered this and not been disappointed. Mousakka was ok - seemed baked a bit too long and was overly salted. Lobster tail pasta delicious; generous lobster portion and a very rich sauce.

Service: 3 of our 4 visits have had great service - solid and attentive but on our last visit, the service wasn't the same as the prior 3 times; the main server didn't come by all that frequently and the adjunct servers had to be reminded of a couple of small requests we made (drink refill, bread refill).“

“Had a wonderful experience at Sultana Mediterranean! The food was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying, with delicious Mediterranean-inspired flavors throughout. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I’d definitely come back again!“

“Came here for dinner yesterday and honestly had such a great time. The vibe is really chill but still feels upscale, love that combo. Great place to catch up with friends or a date night with your special one.

Everything we ordered was delicious, but here are the highlights:
Fried chicken - crispy, juicy, great flavor. Simple but done really well.
Rasa sliders - these are a MUST. So buttery and perfectly seasoned, we were obsessed.
White elephant butter paper dosa - another must-get! Super fun to eat and the dosa itself is perfectly crispy. The real move is trying it with all the different sauces, each one hits differently.
Duck - loved the balance of rice, meat and veggies. Nothing overdone, just really well put together.

Finished with the coconut puma for dessert and it was such a good call. Perfect way to end the meal. Would def come back to this hidden gem​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“It is the day after and I’m still dreaming about the food! Every detail in this restaurant was top notch. The food was so flavorful and appropriately salted, the served pita was warm, the salmon and shrimp were juicy, the beyti were heavenly. The heirloom tomatoes in the salad were so sweet!!! I tried a couple other mediterranean restaurants in the area and this one takes the prize!“

“Great food and place . Love it“

“Fiona was super friendly and gave amazing recommendations! we just happened to stumble across this place and didn’t know what to expect. she was super inviting and took very good care of us which really made our night. highly recommend to try out the london, midori sour, and passion cocktails. check out their happy hour for deals too!“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“Lunch special was delicious. I had a hearty minestrone soup, seared branzino and a light, airy chocolate mousse.
My sister had crab cakes and an arugula salad which was very satisfying.
Would like to go back and try their pasta offerings.“

“This place has the best lasagna on the peninsula, hands down. The bolognese is by far the best lasagna I have ever eaten. It is layers and layers and layers of light, fresh pasta with the most flavorful sauce ever. And if you're in the mood for something with just the right kick, the italian sausage lasagna is fantastic! My daughter is a fan of the make your own pasta, where your choice of noodles, sause and protein gives you just what you want. They have a fabulous lobster ravioli and a fantastic porcini mushroom ravioli special that are favorites.

Meals start with some of the lightest bread ever made, and you cannot go wrong ending your meal with tiramisu. We will continue to go here often!“

“Best place to go after the holidays, nice service, excellent food and very tasty wine …“

“Where do I start. The food is so flavorful, the staff is so friendly, they remembered me after only going one time. I love the atmosphere! It's just nice and cozy. All the food I tried is delicious, but I'm just obsessed with their pork sisig. And of course they have kareoke! Lots of song options.“

“I had one of the most unforgettable experiences at 840 Wine Bar & Cocktail Lounge! I met the owner, Gil, on a Monday before the Super Bowl, and we got to talking about life and dreams. I mentioned to Gil that my only wish in this world was to go to the Super Bowl and to my absolute surprise, he bought me a ticket! I was stunned and so deeply moved. His kindness and generosity are truly rare and something I’ll never forget. The atmosphere at 840 Wine is warm and welcoming, the drinks are fantastic, and Gil’s heart is even bigger than the great wine selection. If you’re looking for a place with great vibes and incredible people, this is it. Thank you, Gil! you are an amazing man and made a dream come true! 🙌🍷💫“

“Delicious empanadas, and cold mate! The owner was super kind and she took her time showing me all the delicious treats they have. Fresh chimichurri too! The cold mate was a great taste too, not bitter and a little sweet. Taking a few boxes of empanadas to a bbq and sure they will love it as much as i do, so much variety. The steak one, and spinach ones were my favorites. Dont forget to finish off with an alfajor!“

“Buenísima atención. Ideal para realizar trabajos, mientras disfrutas de una bebida.“

“ver nice place good attention“

“I had some time on my hands while my car was getting a new tire installed at American Tire. I walked north for awhile and found this wonderful coffee shop with tables in the blocked off street, free WiFi, great coffee, and friendly staff. I will return whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Thanks! Franklin San Francisco“

“I tend to only write reviews when the experience is either really good or really bad. This has been a great experience at the best lounge I have visited. Great friendly staff and wonderful food and drinks. I was sad when it was time to leave for my flight.“
