Great (and strong) cocktails . Perfect place for happy hour on a Friday afternoon. Seafood combo appetizer is huge and a great shareable plate for two.
Their 1st time serving lunch here! Outside seating is awesome! Odd Bread presentation, so far food menu selection is good & pretty tasty! However, ask for dressing on the side & portion's pretty big
Went on Tuesday night which is fried chicken might. Excellent moist fried chicken . Also tried the salt and pepper shrimp appetizer , very good. Service good but front desk person needs some training
Better-than-Most Calamari . Loved the Beet Salad . Fabulous NY Steak . And the Double Dark Chocolate Ganache Cake is incredibly lusciously divinely out of this world.
Greeeeeeeeeasy food. This is Brussels sprouts and cauliflower . Soaked in oil, both.
These guys have the perfect setup for crappy, rainy days. Great covered patio with heaters and awesome service. Love it here!!!
Well prepared (and potent) cocktails . Steaks are great, and they have a good happy hour menu .
Amazing touch. Happy hour is great. Had a blast with Jiro serving up our cocktails and appetizers .
Awesome food and great atmosphere. Chef Davis puts out a great spread! The butternut squash soup with sage pesto is killer!
Love their creations. Want to go back and hang in their open air patio area after work one of the days.
Great food, reasonable prices. Welcome addition to San Mateo. Make reservations . This place is very popular.
Nice atmosphere! Chase, our waiter , did a great job with service and helping get the Stanford-ASU game on the TV at the bar !
Still working out some kinks terms of service but the food is spot on. Highly recommend the calamari , short ribs and devil's food cake .
An excellent place for happy hour near our comfortable airport hotel , Stone Villa Inn , in San Mateo.
Wine and Dine on Monday Night. Get the skirt steak !
Thumbs up for their salt and pepper prawns with pesto aioli and the blackened ribeye .
This place is super awesome.. the Service is amazing and the food is great .
The spinach dip is more of a cheese dip that happens to have spinach than a spinach dip . Oh and it's extremely liquidy.
The home made Fries are great. You have to try the dark smoked grill!
Delicious food, terrific ambiance, great service!
Drinks. Fresh and seasonal menu . Prixe Fixe meals. Brunch .
Go on Monday night where you get a free bottle of wine
Order the braised short rib and the butter lettuce salad with blue cheese . Heavenly
Salmon sandwich lunch was delicious!
The tomato soup has a tortilla soup flavor
Great happy hour menu ! Try the slow cooked short ribs .
Try the delicious heart friendly Grilled Prawns Salad .
Best, freshest food around! Drinks are superb....strong!
You can't lose with the Short Rib/Mashed Potatoes plate. PHENOMENAL
If you like American grill... This is amazing
French dip for lunch !!!
Came for lunch with high expectations, got disappointed. Tortilla soup (tex-mex flavor, small for the price) and Fish tacos ... Didn't get excited with the dessert menu
Salmon tacos were damn tasty. Decent sized drinks.
Awesome platter
Cedar plank salmon was impeccable!
Best price for quality happy hour .
Great brick chicken
Always check the daily specials .
Grilled Salmon fish tacos are amazing!
Lately very disappointing with the quality of the food. The Hanger Steak was full of veins and I was told by the waitstaff this is med. rare. Won't go back
Brunch only on Sunday's!
It was pricey ... The taste was good, but the portions were small. I would only recommend going for special occasions .
skirt steak is fantastic, small portion though...Short rib is only OK.... Also, slow service, a bit overpriced.
The food quality was subpar, lacking in decent vegetarian options & overpriced. Hillstone is better!
Fish Taco horrible. Soft taco shell tasted like a mouthful of flour. Yuk
Food was average.. Maybe because it was served to us cold.. Nice atmosphere though
Evil cake is evil...
Hostess is rude. Food takes 40 minutes to arrive even when not busy. Not worth your time or money.
Overpriced
Monterey Burger is delicious. Especially with a beer. And I loved the Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake - Nelson Estrada
Pretty cool Covid setup. If you’re picking up an online order, they have a separate line. If you’re looking at the store it’s on your left :) - Eliza Beth
The nordys espresso bar is d'lish... The coffee is mild and smooth and the blended drinks are terrific.. My favorite is the strawberry and cream or the banana mango.... Very refreshing!! - matt jh.
The corn beef and hash is amazing. The horseradish adds so much flavor. With a side of waffle that was mouthwatering. - Lils 22
French Dip, Jacks Burger, Shrimp Scampi,Meatloaf and Italian Pasta - all good! Only the Jacks sweet tea - we didnt quite understand the sourness of the tea :) - Rose N.
The New Orleans Jambalaya is awesome. Not to hot but loaded with Shrimp , Andouille Sausage and great flavor! - Steven Denison
Unlike any other mall in the Bay Area. Meticulously maintained with a good store selection and not a single pesky kiosk clogging the walkway. A little small, but a great shopping center. - Alec Murphy
Great people here, lots of smiles! I love the outdoor seating and being at the Mall. - Mark
