“Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.“

“Great service, delicious food and beautiful decorations.“

“This place is delightful in everything - hospitality, attention to details… checking if everythibv is to patrons’ liking… - we were offered to move to a larger table to feel more comfortable. Food is AMAZING. Just that. Ok, our group was probably hungry after a walk in cold weather. But the first drink of the Greek IPA, first bite of calamaris or octopus prepped to perfection, the delightful ceviche… - all felt heavenly.

Our whole group asked for second servings of aromatic beer (new to us), all souvlakis kinds were delightful. At the end, an amazing desert miraculously appeared, and I don’t even do deserts usually - ate it all and scraped the plate.

Highly recommended place to come for dinner or to stop for a drink + appetisers, and I am certainly hoping to be back soon.“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“Went to lunch there today Food very tasty and this looks like it would be a fantastic Happy Hour Meet Up!!!!“

“Great walkable neighborhood“

“Fun, friendly, non-pretentious place. And the burgers are all that you want and nothing you don’t.“

“This is my "go to" place in Burlingame! Fantastic wine selection , nice cool vibe. Austin, and Drea, as well as Jason (owner ), are extremely knowledgable. If you are looking for interesting wine, and a chill atmosphere, this is it. They have Thursday night wine events that are a great value to taste new wines. They get prominent wine makers, and wineries from major areas to have tastings throughout the year as well. They have small bites to nosh with your wine. :)“

“Food was good, but did not particularly stand out compared to other dumpling places. Had great service from one server, but the rest were very stressed and hurried. It was hard to get their attention. Food presentation was great and they surprisingly have a large bar. I would come back again and try different items.“

“The cider and the staff were fantastic. Had someone sit near us saying they were fighting a cold so felt had to extra sanitize, but thats not their fault. We did miss the entrance and hand to u turn, but we found it on the second try. I love that they have board games.“

“Passing through SFO and stopped in for a flatbread. So glad I did! Zane was behind the bar and make the experience so enjoyable. He recommended the perfect glass of wine to accompany my food and I enjoyed it so much that I opted for a second round. He was kind, knowledgeable and really made the airport dining experience stress free. I’ll definitely be stopping in again the next time I’m town.“

“Great service - friendly inviting environment“

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

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

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Elia in San Carlos is absolutely amazing. The service is exceptional — friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
The food was outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the seafood pasta with lobster was top-notch, and the octopus was perfectly cooked and delicious. The filet mignon literally melted in your mouth.
The restaurant itself has beautiful decor and a wonderful Greek vibe that makes the whole experience feel special.
What really touched us was the birthday card signed by the entire staff — such a thoughtful and sweet gesture that made the celebration even more memorable.
We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“I went there yesterday for the first time and it instantly became my new favorite spot in Menlo Park
staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely helpful. they took the time to explain the menu, made great recommendations, and just had the warmest energy the whole time. You can really feel they care about their guests.
And the food? Out of this world. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor the hummus was silky and perfectly seasoned, the pomegranate kebabs were tender and juicy with that amazing mix of flavor, and don’t even get me started on the baklava… best I’ve had in ages. Portions were generous too.“

“Great customer service, good food and fine wine 🍷“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“Exceptional food: a creative and imaginative menu. Haven’t had such good Indian-fusion food in the longest time. Most importantly, the service (Chris was our server) was remarkable! I can’t wait to get all my friends and family here!!! What a gem of a find.“

“Our favorite place to go for Greek food! Birthdays, anniversaries, or just Friday night we are often enjoying the souvlaki, horiatiki salad, or saghanaki

Plus it feels very authentic - for example all their feta is real imported feta!

Service is also exceptional. Love their staff“

“Great food and place . Love it“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“Happened to stop by here with my brother from out of town a few nights, was a slow night at the bar it seemed.
Was having quite a drab day but a quick drink whipped up by our bartender Louisa and some excellent jokes turned our day right around. The matcha drink was one of the best I’ve ever had, and I can honestly say I’d stop by again whenever I’m back just to try the drink again. Thanks Louisa“

“I would like to share my disappointing experience at this restaurant last night regarding the reservation process and customer service.
Before arriving, we called the restaurant to make a reservation. The staff member who answered told us to make a reservation through Yelp. I explained that Yelp was not allowing us to book, which was the reason we called directly. She then told us that she would put us in the system and that our table would be ready in about 20 minutes, which worked perfectly for our drive to the restaurant.
However, when we arrived and informed the hostess that we had a reservation, she immediately told us that the restaurant does not take reservations and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. I even showed her the sms confirmation from my phone.This was very confusing and frustrating because we had just spoken with someone who confirmed our reservation over the phone.
As a result, we arrived expecting a table to be ready, only to find out that no reservation existed. We were dining with a child, so the unexpected wait made the situation even more difficult.
I understand that restaurants can be busy, but clear and consistent communication is very important. If reservations are not accepted, this should have been communicated honestly during the phone call. The conflicting information made us feel misled and disappointed with the service experience.
I hope management can review this situation with the staff to prevent similar misunderstandings for future guests.“

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

“Beautiful building inside and out, professional staff, serving classic Italian dishes. Made a friend's birthday special on his day. 😍 Come celebrate here, but -do- RSVP in advance! Especially if you have a large party and your eye on that fancy room in the back😉“

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

“i like this place all very fresh“

“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.“

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

“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! 🙌🍷💫“

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

“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!“

“Our family has eaten here countless times and it’s completely amazing. The family who owns it are so kind and you can tell the Paella is an old recipe, which is confirmed to be grandmother’s recipe. It’s never dry, never overly soupy, and the seafood is so fresh being next to the ocean. The lobster bisque has ruined me for any other lobster bisque on earth. It has a perfect balanced taste of Smokey, spicy and sweet and it’s not thick and gloppy. The service is always so attentive and kind. You can tell how much they care about their establishment. It’s always so consistent. I love supporting this business.“

“Great food, drinks and service!“

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

“ver nice place good attention“

“Erica - the front office specialist - is an angel! She is the reason I was able to get my flight postponed because I lost my bag near this lounge! She is one of the best customer service poeple I have worked with and she deserves all the promotions she gets in her career! Thanks so much“

“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“
