“We had some coupons so we tried it out. We got the energy bar which was housemade. It seemed fresh and tasty, not like some of those packaged bars. We also got the fall salad with chicken. Note that it's $15 and it seems on par for what you would expect. The salad is fresh; you get a average-sized portion of chicken and plentiful toppings. The poached pear was especially nice. I guess if you want a nice salad, then this place has some.“
“The mushroom soup was scrumptious. The crab cakes were lovely! I don't usually actually like crab cakes but these were flavorful and perfect.The truffle mushroom ravioli was great.Wonderful service; like genuinely nice and attentive. We sat outside - good placement of heat lamps. Forgot to take photos; next time!“
“Four of us had a delicious dinner. Service was lovely, atmposphere was quite so we could actually hear each other. Someone commented this isn't the typical California Mexician food place - exactly! It is better. All four of our main dishes were good. Side of beans had real flavor and wasn't drowned in cheese. Included a little salad not just for garnish and guacamole. Rice also had nice flavor and texture. Vegetables were grilled not boiled. Prices very reasonable for a sit down, full service in a nice location resturant.Parking: Easy to park on a Thursday night.“
“Excellent pizza. The crust was absolutely perfect! And I am a very picky eater. I loved it! I also had the spaghetti with meatballs. Loved it all, could have used more marinara but I like mine with extra, extra sauce. The flavor of their sauce was very good. Tasted authentic to me ? I would definitely recommend Avanti Pizza for anyone looking for an authentic Italian pizza or pasta.“
“I had a craving for pizza and decided to try Amici's. I came in and was seated without a wait. I ordered the Amici's Combo and a glass of wine. The pizza & wine came and it was really good! Definitely worth a return trip in the future. ?“
“What a hidden gem we stumbled upon! It was 9:00 am on a Friday, right as they were opening their doors, and already there was a buzz of activity with people streaming in and placing their orders. Overall, it was a delightful experience. I absolutely adored it. And let me tell you, their coffee? To die for! (Haha!)Their menu offers such a unique selection of dishes that you won't find elsewhere. I'd even go as far as to say it's one-of-a-kind. I opted for the croque madam, and let me tell you, it was a generous portion size! My boyfriend went for the scrambles, and he was equally impressed. The owner or general manager was incredibly attentive, which only added to the overall positive vibe of the place.Thanks a bunch! We'll definitely be back for more!“
“I can't believe it took me so long to try the pizza here! I thought it'd be just another pizza place, but I was so wrong. Weirdly enough, we ended up ordering here because we wanted boneless chicken wings and this place had some. So we ordered the boneless chicken wings and a pizza (half Tuscan Garlic, which has a white sauce base, and the other half was a custom request of a white sauce base with salami). And WOW. The white sauce is so deliciously creamy, and the toppings tasted so fresh and were just bursting with flavor. Even the crust is yummy. The chicken wings were delicious too (they're shaped more like balls, fyi). They have a thick crispy breadcrumb style coating. I like dipping them in the white garlic sauce that came with it.“
“I tried The Good Salad for the first time and OMG it was absolutely delicious! I tried the Pesto Ceezar and the dressing on it is insanely good. They also give a decent amount of food. The food is really good quality and I'm so happy I found my new salad spot!!!“

“A lil pricey for a sandwich but very good stuff. Nice fresh sourdough; the bread was soft and had a nice slight crunch to it. The original (ham and turkey) was tasty and came with cheese. I saved half for the next day and it was still delicious. Somehow even better when cold. The crust sourdough dip with warm au jus (roast beef) was amazing. The roast beef was so tender! It was worth it. I also really enjoyed the bacon jam; I didn't know what to expect but I enjoyed the bit of sweetness and caramelized onions in it. Really solid! The bread also held up nicely when dipped into the au jus. The cookies are not too bad; I tried the lemon and it smelled great. Taste was good too but unfortunately it was a lemon cookie with coconut shavings inside (which was not mentioned) and I'm not the biggest fan of coconut! The interior is nice and spacious. They are located in an office space.“
“I've noticed more salad places popping up in the area and decided to check out this spot to switch up our usual trip to Mendocino Farms. Note that this is a to-go place for pick up only. No indoor seating. We ordered the samurai steak salad and subbed out the cucumbers for the croutons. The girl working was patient with us, and also threw in the sweet heat dressing for us to try! Customer service was amazing, if not the best I've received in a while (sadly). I loved how many options there were, and the salad was good, but I doubt I'll be going out of my way to come here again.“
“Found this gem in downtown mountainview, craving for hand pulled noodles. I was surprised with the al dente texture of the noodles in broth and over sauce mixture. The spicy beef noodle soup was tasty. The broth was clean and little with subtle spiciness. The sliced beef is not as tender as I would have liked. It was more chewy than tender. I really enjoyed the braised rib noodle dish- the flavor with the fresh veggies was good and the noodles was cooked perfectly. Definitely order the dumplings! We also order the pork and cabbage pie- it was a big flat version of a fried dumpling. I really enjoyed it! The service was good, the staff were friendly and attentive! They also took our orders at the table.“
“One of my favorite places. 1st, it has the best and friendliest service of anywhere in town! The food never disappoints. I like to go earlier in the evening before it gets too crowded and noisy. I don’t like to eat a meal with a friend when it’s too loud to have a conversation. Would recommend this place for great service and food!“
“I loved the atmosphere! Comfortable couches, electric outlets, the piano! Food is alright: the salmon pasta was huge and the salmon yummy, the BLT sandwich had over fried bacon that was hard to chew, the pastry tasted good but was cold and a bit soggy. The Matcha latte used the syrup instead of actual matcha :(It's not bad for a college cafeteria but the prices are not justified“
“This place deserve few Michelin stars ?The steak was amazing. Kudos to the chef.Don't forget to order lamb shank. It's great.Parking is paid off street and may struggle to find one. It's right in the Redwood City downtown. Ambience is good. Not a lot of seating so do call and reserve a table. Everything is made in-house. Bloody amazing taste. Definitely recommend for Fine dining.“
“It was absolutely delicious. My only pick is the cost of the food, but what do I expect as a visitor of Stanford. Anyways, I ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, 5/5.The restaurant feels a lot like a street food place; a bit more hidden from the eyes of the public.“
“Met up with friends at the cafe here a few times. So far, plenty of free parking in the lot across the street. For take-out, you step aside and wait after ordering, or for dine-in, a server will find your number to bring the food to your table. Either way, the wait can take quite awhile. I've had ham and cheese small bytes; baguette was hard and too salty. Turkey cranberry and arugula sandwich was decent. Coffee is good. Strawberry Dragon Fruit drink is refreshing, light sweet. Nice area to walk around Google campus!“
“I've always passed by Rise Woodfire and finally got the chance to check it out. I had ordered the Brussels sprouts, burrata and a calabrese + honey pizza. The Brussels sprouts were pretty average but the burrata was really good. The burrata was creamy and just right with the pesto. The pizza was rather small for the price but it was still pretty delicious, not sure if I would reorder the pizzas though.“
“We absolutely love this place, it has by far the best hummus around.We ordered the classic hummus and tzatziki. They were both incredible.We opted to try their spanakopita, which in my opinion wasn't as good as others I've had. They come 2 to an order so that was a pleasant surprise. I would stick to the dips next time.“
“Excellent salad bowls clearly prepared by folks who care about providing healthy delicious meals. Came across this place when the owner posted on Nextdoor this weekend. Ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived in great condition. The bowls were very well prepared per our instructions and they even put cute little hearts on the boxes which my wife adored. The owner truly cares about providing the customers a great experience.The bowls were very tasty and portion size was very good. The chicken was perfect, and the sauces (makhani and chaat) were super tasty as well. The waffle egg in a heart shape was not only novel but very appetizing as well. This is a very novel concept and we are big fans. We will certainly order regularly!“
“I've been eating here for years. I moved away and was craving the tuna melt. It's one of my favorite sandwiches to order. I was happy to see that they were still busy and the food is still good. My husband had a cheeseburger, and that was delicious, too.Parking: They are located in a busy area and parking can be difficult, depending on when you visit. We went on a Saturday for lunch and parked a few blocks and walked.“
“I had to place orders for an event i coordinated and the food was perfect. The food was prepared in the time selected and the service at pick up was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend for great tasting food, friendly service and perfect for planning orders for big events.“
“The lox bagel was absolutely delicious. While it's a bit pricey, I found it to be worth the cost. Unfortunately, the service wasn't the best; the employee who served us seemed a bit rude and didn't want to answer our questions. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the bagel.“
“I love this place!! Such delicious, fresh food and great service. I have dined in before - very clean and nice restaurant with outdoor seating - but now I've been ordering 3x times a week for lunch. I LOVE their new mobile app! Makes re-ordering all of my specific modifications super fast and easy. Highly recommend!“
“I had the salmon wrap and it had salmon in almost every bite. Loaded with veggies and came with a small side salad. The dressing on the salad was so good I asked for more to put on my wrap. I will drive 20 min just for this wrap so please don’t change a thing. The manager was super nice. Thanks for a great meal!“
“Super cute cafe, comfortable seats, tasty coffee & treats, very friendly staff! They can also make any of their drink menu with decaf coffee- perfect for those who aren’t able to indulge with full strength coffee but want to have a taste! I’m so excited to have a fun cafe in the neighborhood!“
“Just had lunch here. First of all, very clean, good service; it looks like a family-owned business, which I appreciate. Food-wise, I had a chicken souvlaki, and my friend had a gyro platter; we both loved our meals. Definitely going back--highly recommended!“
“I go here on a regular basis. I have Celiac and am very sensitive to gluten. Last time I went, I accidentally pushed ramen noodles instead of rice, and they switched it out for me and refunded the extra charge for the noodles. The manager even came out to make sure everything was okay.The outdoor seating is pleasant, ordering on the tablets can take a minute to figure out if you aren't familiar with them (usually, unless you push a wrong button like me), the service is quick, and the food is good.I also have a service animal, and have never had problems bringing him into this space.“
“My boyfriend took me there for dinner on Valentine's Day 2 weeks ago. Based on my pre-experience, they had a rich menu for a special night. The food came a little late (it is very common on special days) but the guy who took care of our table was very polite and friendly. He apologized for the delay and fixed it right away. I think he's called Robeen or Robyn (sorry if I spelled it wrong). Then I went for brunch and had a similar experience. Enjoyeee.“
“I ordered a large pizza tonight for my family. First time trying Seniores Pizza downtown San Mateo. Pizza was very tasty and a very fluffy crust. I love a good crust and wasn’t floppy or loaded with grease, which is a plus. I will order from them again.“
“Wonderful, Unusual and Delicious, Pizza. My husband and I both enjoyed our pizza’s. We both got cauliflower crust My husband’s idea for food is, the spicer the better so he chose just that. I settled into my curry, not hot chicken pizza. It was great! Our server was Annette and she was informative and delightful. If it was closer to us it would be our go to!“
“It's been a while since I've been here, but I often think back to the time when I worked in this plaza and remember Sam and his wife, the kindest folks in the restaurant biz that you'll ever meet. The food is always great, and the company even better. Eating here feels just like coming home!“
“Eric was a real one! Amazing customer service and a really pleasant vibe even when there’s the a big lunch rush. I love to ge the soup and sandwich or salad and sandwich combo. The turkey avo salsa is always a hit. ????The Thai chicken mango salad is also super tasty and a decent portion. ? ?I come back to this place often and I’ll continue to for the great service and amazing food.“
“Nice, clean restaurant, with fantastic service. I messed up and ordered wrong with my friend Nathan at the counter, and for supervisors Rodrigo came to assist and I left feeling so taken care of and helped out!! I live over in Santa Cruz but when I'm over this way I will definitely visit this location again!“
“The pizza here was really good. Had the Greek pizza with Daiya cheese. They added a bit too much cheese for my taste, so if I go back I will definitely ask them to go easy. Otherwise, the pizza was really flavourful with a very nice crust. It was also really easy to order, the vegan options were clearly stated. They don't really have any vegan options other than pizza on the menu, would be nice if they had some appetizers, but just based on the pizza, I would definitely come back.“
“Really solid lunch place. My go to is usually the roasted beets and goat cheese salad. I recently experimented with their holiday Turkey sandwich and it was solid. All in all I recommend checking mendo farms out if you are looking for a healthy, affordable meal.“
“This place is a gem. The atmosphere is modern and clean. Their coffees and food are really good. Prices are so reasonable. Rick helped us and he was very welcoming.Veggie burrito with avocado was so tasty and filling. The avocado toast with scrambled eggs was delicious as well.They recently had live music on their patio so give them a try, you'll enjoy it.“
“If you're looking for something a little more elevated than in-n-out but not so elevated that it breaks your bank, Gott's Roadside is the perfect fit! We were craving burgers and milkshakes after a hike with our dogs so we dropped by for a quick bite. The line to order food was pretty short but I think waiting for food itself took a little longer as the family before us had a massive order. We were able to find a table outside which was great because it was nice and sunny out. We ordered the double cheeseburger, green chile cheeseburger, fries, vanilla shake, and two unsalted patties for our dogs.We thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ordered! The burger was hot and juicy, fries were salty and crisp, and the dogs really enjoyed their patties. We will definitely be back to try out more items on the menu! Those onion rings look fantastic.“
“I've lived near downtown San Mateo for years, and this is my go-to Mediterranean/Greek place! They have spacious seating, are very clean, and have healthy options. My favorite dish is the Chipotle Hummus (appetizer). Every time I visit, I have to get it!Everything else they have is pretty standard, but solid food. I'm also a fan of the Lamb & Beef gyros plate. They give good sized portions with meat/falafels + salad + rice.“
“Really like this place! We go here after hikes nearby. Haven't been disappointed.My hiking partner has a very restrictive diet. She is able to eat pizza again with all of the various options available.Dietary restrictions: Dairy, gluten, shellfish, eggs...many others“

“Crust has made it to Redwood City! The sourdough sandwiches are delicious as always -- but news alert! This location also serves coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The craft coffee is from a small batch local roaster and is full-flavored and oh so smooth. If you're a coffee aficionado, you gotta give it a try. Plenty of seating inside and on the front patio too.“
“if you're looking for healthy & delicious food, EAT HERE! I ordered a green smoothie with berries & almond butter The staff were so friendly and kind, plus they shouted out some of their favorites! I can't wait to come back They also have a TON of seating and the vibe/decoration/lighting here is so cute. Added: it's so incredibly disappointing and astounding how spoiled, entitled, and tone deaf many of the folks who've posted reviews on here have resonates. yall need to get a grip and support local business with your chest. bless“
“If you're looking for quick lunch or dinner that has clean foods, this is a place to try! The ambiance is light and clean! There is patio space as well as indoor seating. There are sandwich, soups, salads to choose from. My go to is the avocado and quinoa superfood salad. The portion is large and the salad is most importantly very good!!! I love vinaigrette is flavorful and light! The cookies are great treat! Love the ginger and date and hemp cookie! There are great options here for those who are gluten free or vegan. The service is great and honestly the mobile orders give an on time delivery or even ready earlier. This is a great location and will be coming back!“
“The sandwiches are really not bad. It is just that when you order on the phone, sometimes they give you attitude.Instead of thanking you for business, they have this, "not sure if you will give me a 10% or 20% or 25% tip later on, so why do I have to show a smile to you?"“
“I have been in customer service industry for over 30 years. And i always make a point to recognize good customer service when i see it. I have been to this Subway a few times for their catering service and have been very impressed and pleased with the service we received from Biplov. He is consistently very friendly, professional and great to work with. Thank you for the great service.“
“Grateful that this is still there. The name Toto's brings feelings of good food and great service. Used to be a regular at Daly City and Belmont provides the same quality. Ordered a large mushroom and black olive and it was delicious. Several beverage options available. There is indoor seating and lots of parking available.“
“Stayed here for 3 nights for a local music event- I have no complaints! Mostly business people who come here. It was quiet and friendly. The room was big, clean and pet-friendly. We brought our cat on the roadtrip with us and she loved it at this hotel. They also have a robot, I don't have pictures but it brought us toilet paper and more towels at our request. My cat loved him.“
“I love this place! They are always so attentive and nice when we come in. The food is always delicious and comes out at a reasonable time. The deep dish is always a good choice! Beer is good and honestly prices are great! Definitive give it a try.“
“If you're a fan of Thai food and you haven't tried the pad Thai at Thai house, you're missing out!Noodles are cooked perfectly and have just the right amount of chewiness. The sauce they use is packed with a bunch of flavor. It's a wonderful balance of sweet sour and savory with a touch of heat to give it a little kick.If you're in the mood for something delicious, be sure to give it a try!“
“Had the best pizza of my life in Santa Cruz (Pizza My Heart) but, the recipe was a bit different here. The ingredients or the way the baked it didn't have the same harmonious effect, however it was still delicious with all the whole garlic slices. Still a fantastic pizza. Definitely recommend the "The Big Sur". The whole garlic slice will change your life.“
“There's not that many food options in this tech park so this little cafe hits the spot. Located on the first floor to the left of the gym. Service times may vary, but it's always friendly. Prices are a little pricey for the quality but it's a-ok. Seating both indoor and out door. Communal area for water cups, utensils and condiments. Return kitchenware to the communal area and I love how they have compost, recycle and trash options. Thanks!“
