“We met friends at this restaurant after doing a Yelp review and I'm so glad we did. One of the first things I noticed was the high-quality of the menu: Mary's chicken, Scottish salmon, and other brands we love. The kitchen didn't disappoint. It was delicious and our guests were really pleased. The service was outstanding. and as we hoped, they had heaters and it was comfortable to eat outside in December. We will definitely be going back.“
“It was my first time, and i loved it. Very friendly, happy customers and bartenders ... I'm was very happy there people smile for each other talk friendly very polited and beautiful people . Of course, the food and drinks are delicious. I ll back again soon.“
“This has been my go to bar in San Carlos for a long time. Good drinks for a fair price pool and shuffle board. I wish I had bought this place years ago as it's a good reminder of what San Carlos was back in the day. Locals who like to talk about anything related to the town, real estate or technology. Friday and Saturday night becomes rookie night with people who don't know how to order drinks and pay, bar etiquette is a lost art as some of these reviews show. Dive bars are like someone's home, learn to peacefully co exist and follow the rules, do that simple task and you should have a good time. I was there last week, ordered a bunch of drinks from the bar, told the ignorant patron to bear with me and keep the space open so I could remove my drinks, but clueless Tecchie guy moved right in where my drinks were, I had to physically move the rookie, so I could get my drinks to my friends then he could chat with his co worker as much as possible. Painful. Bartender's and drinks were great!!! If I could get a job here I would jump at it.“
“It's been almost 8 months since we returned to Rustic House. We started off with the clam chowder and we weren't disappointed. The seafood pasta and mahi mahi taco was SO delicious and fresh. Mauricio was our host and he did a superb job. With so many restaurant to choose from in San Carlos, we hope to come back soon.“
“This was our second attempt at Doppio Zero in San Carlos. What a big difference since the first try. We decided to dine a bit earlier than usual (4pm). The place was quiet and the service was excellent. The food was SO deliciious and we requested to have the food brought out one at a time. Each plate was serve hot, so full of flavor. We will definitely come back for sure.“
“Details. Details Details. What a refreshing, beautiful experience. I can't get over the experience of this restaurant. The kindness, the service and beautiful location made me so excited to come back. Love the menu and the exabition kitchen! I'm excited to make this my spot!“
“The best way to cap off a not do fun day of travel was dinner with these three! Even with the changing meet up times, they were all gracious and flexible enough to make it happen and I couldn’t have been happier to break bread with one of my oldest friends, aka The Captain, his wife, and one of the earliest friends I made in the Chicagoland area…and it didn’t hurt that the food was amazing! I’d probably walked past this place several times during my previous visits to Burlingame but never eaten there…my loss!“
“Fish & chips were served promptly and among the best I’ve tasted. Best of all was Siri our server. She was serving the entire bar and a few of us at bar-top tables. She was polite, didn’t forget a thing, and was always there with refills. We’ll be back!“
“Two visits about a decade apart; I am a regular! I have nothing bad to say-service is good and prompt, food fresh and hot...had an outstanding draft German Pilsner last weekend. It had been a very long time since I had a draft German beer. Lesson for me? Take a break from the strong CA IPAs once in awhile. :)“
“Everything we got here was absolutely delicious and authentically crafted. My party of 4 got a feast of food. One I recommend is the Pad Mango as it is something I have never seen on a menu elsewhere. The Massaman curry was probably my second favorite and the Samosas too!To me everything seemed to have a medium spice to it, so be cautious and ask if you can't handle spice. Good lighting for a nice dinner and great service. We live across the bay but will definitely be coming back!“
“Reservation required even if you are just one person! With that being said, loved this hidden gem! I like that they have their classic cocktail menu and on the back they have their own version of that cocktail. Everyone was really nice. Plus free popcorn!“
“Everything was ok. Not the most authentic German food (schnitzel wasn’t, spaetzle was ok); chicken sandwich was a bit messy. We came in a large group. The QR codes make ordering easy from your phone, but there’s no concept of service since they just bring what you click, and asking for tip upfront is also a bit weird. Nice open space with communal tables, so it’s good for big groups“
“My cousin went to this restaurant few days ago with me. The service and food are both great. This is an American-Japanese fusion restaurant and we just had perfect steak and fish filet, also the waiter is fantastic, very friendly and talkative. I'll go back again for sure!“
“This post is overdue but felt it was necessary! After a day of celebrating a birthday with some friends, we all decided we wanted to go someplace close to our house to watch some sports and get some food/drinks. We stumbled across Hidden Tap & Barrel and ended up having an amazing time. We were one of the only people there, and our bartender/server, Monica went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. My girlfriend doesn't drink, so Monica took it upon herself to experiment with mocktail recipes, all which were delicious. Her energy and vibe kept our party going and we just loved her. We ordered a couple of pizzas from the connected Curry Pizza House, which was delicious. The bar itself is extremely clean and modern, with lots of TVs. We will definitely be back and hopefully have Monica as our bartender again!“
“I had one of the top three burgers of my life here, just now. Everything was perfectly balanced. Not too loud, not too plain.It reminded me of old music, before digital engineering and autotune. Songs sounded so crisp, clear, and spacious. You could hear each instrument individually, and feel how they layered together in the mix.This burger was exactly like that.All of the ingredients were perfectly spaced out and flavored: the crisply chatted burger patties, the pepper, the cheese, the bacon, the caramelized onions, even the buttery, crispy bun… it all played together beautifully. I could taste each flavor distinctly. Nothing stepped on anything else. There was so much space between the flavors.The salad was delightful as well. It brought me back to a time in my childhood when my mom would make fresh salads for us with vegetables from her garden. It tasted freshly picked. The strawberries were a nice touch, as well.What a burger! Masterful work!“
“Pretty cool place to enjoy a local band have a beer and some food. Love the revised patio and beer options. Don't like the crowding at the doorway or the drunken middle aged women who are quite unpleasant. Especially the ones seated at a doorway blocking entry outside being a fire hazard.“
“This bar is perfect! Moved into the area looking for a local dive and this is the best spot. Robert (the owner) has fostered an environment filled with amazing people, from staff to customers. Non-pretentious karaoke bar where folks support each other regardless of skill, and are just there for a good time. You can bring in outside food if you're looking for a bite to eat. Couldn't recommend this place enough.“
“Three of us were just having a light dinner. We ordered 2 arugula salads, Kennebec cut fries, a side of garlic bread, a side of mushroom medley, and the special salmon appetizer. Other than the salmon being somewhat skimpy, everything was great. The salad was fresh, and the combo of almonds, blueberries, beets, and cheese was delicious. A light, flavorful dressing. The fries were thick, piping hot and crispy. Yum. Great service from a lovely wait person. My 2nd time here- will definitely return.“
“I’m a music producer/DJ and put on a gig here celebrating my recent album release. It was a total blast, and the staff went out of their way to address my vision for the event without any hesitation. This is a great space for any up and coming musical artist that is looking for an intimate venue with flexible options for stage/furniture layout, sound equipment, lighting and more. I didn’t have to bring any of my supplemental audio equipment to the gig as a lot of it was provided by the venue - that was super convenient!My audience had a fantastic time and I will definitely be playing more DJ gigs here!“
“Good for happy hour, cozy and not crowded on a weekday for co-worker meetup. Menu isn't huge though, and salad wasn't very exciting, small, but my friends who got burgers and other less health-conscious items were happy. I appreciate the ease of parking, small shopping area right across from Safeway, and easy access off of the 92/280 junction. Good adult hangout, not for kids, dark inside.“
“We were in town for Valentine's Day so I made a reservation here. I knew it would be busy, which it was, but the service was still great. We were taken care of quickly, our waters were always full (which is important to me), the wine was great and the food was even better. All the wait staff were friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend Pulpo if you are in the area!“
“Can't beat Kendo's karaoke list here on Wednesdays and when I say list well pretty much any song you can think of just put it in and mark my words he's got it. The crowd is great too. They had free popcorn last time I was there . The crowd again super great. They have an indoors and then an indoors that looks like your outdoor too. It's like this big patio area but you're kinda still inside. They have great parking too. I choose to park down the street but just saying they have a parking lot .“
“A group of us go for trivia on Wednesdays and we love the vibe! The trivia is a great mix of difficult and doable questions which makes it fun. The staff is friendly, the owner came up and introduced himself the first time we went in and now stops by to our table to say hi. They have a little kitchen that they rent out (I think) and the food that they serve is yummy! not sure if they've changed the menu since I was last in, but they didn't have chicken as a meat for the tacos which was a bummer since I don't eat red meat/pork.“
“While we were finishing dinner i was making another reservation to bring friends from out of town later in the week - that's how much I liked my first visit to Twelvemonth. After sharing a starter and a dessert and each enjoying a main course and their incredibly good bread, we were comfortably fed. We would happily order the carrot curry and the pasta with winter squash and pepper sauce again. I'm a fan of fried mushrooms, and I think the fried maitake were the best i've ever eaten. We nearly skipped dessert but i'm so glad we didn't. We shared the sticky toffee pudding, which was more of a loaf cake and not all that sticky, but the flavor of the dish (with optional soft serve) was sublime. Menu includes a thoughtful selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. The smoky, slightly bitter Mas O Menos with grapefruit and rosemary was perfect for someone who doesn't care for sweet cocktails. Pleasant, skillful service. The crowd was all adults, couples and groups of friends. I saw no children in the dining room at 7:30 on a Saturday and no children's menu. Which is not to say children wouldn't be welcome but I think only the adventuresome eaters would be comfortable.“
“Wow!! Super delicious!! Went with a group of 6 friends and everyone loved the the food!! Lots of fantastic vegetarian options. I ordered the Mjadra and we shared the Fattoush salad, tabouleh, and pickles. My friends also got the veggie combo and falafel wrap.I had a different salad which came with my mjadra and both that salad and the Fattoush salad had crazy yummy dressing. I loved them so much I asked if they sold the dressing separately to go and she said they didn't but she gave me a generous portion of each to take home with me...no charge!!“
“It's a good old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy, just a nice comfortable place to have a drink and make a friend. There is a large outside area where you can smoke and have a drink, which is hard to find. It's my go to place after a hard days work. The service is the best !!“
“Great place. Very low key which is what I like as opposed to loud with obnoxious drunks. He keeps those guys (and occasional girls) out. Bartender/owner Justin is a great guy. I see other reviews saying he only pays attention to friends. Simply not true. There's a saying, close mouths don't get fed and this is no exception. If you ask or wave him down, you will get served. He's not just gonna stare at you till you finish your drink like people want. He will walk up and down the bar to make sure you're good or if you need anything then go and resume conversation with customers whether it be friends, regulars or newbies like I was. Has been my go to place for a month and a half now and am saddened that I was in the area temporarily and won't be in as often. Do yourself a favor and hit this bar up. Quieter than most bars but great selection and plenty of food in the area!! Some of the regulars are great too. Not territorial like other regulars in other bars. Made me feel welcome as hell there. Go play pool with those guys. Lots of fun. Thanks a lot Justin. You are the man!“
“As an Italian always desperately trying to find good pizzerias in the USA…. I think I have found my favourite one. Ingredients are fresh and authentic, and the pizza is just SO GOOD! And not heavy at all! Because that’s how a pizza should be: an healthy meal! Definitely worth it, spend all your money there, great Italian food guaranteed.“
“We wandered in to Milagros for lunch and were soon greeted and taken to the cute patio area. We ordered chips and salsa, and got three delicious salsas and a bucket of fantastic tortilla chips. My niece had a fish taco and I had the chicken taquitos. She loved her taco, and the taquitos were absolutely perfect. Jose 'el diablo', ? was our waiter. He was entertaining and likeable, very sweet and funny. The service was beyond reproach.“
“I had a very positive experience with the company from beginning to end. The entire staff was pleasant and helpful. Very delighted with roller garage door; it looks great and does the job well; neighbours have commented on how wonderful it looks. Thanks.“
“I remember the Pioneer Saloon from when I lived in the Bay Area and worked in Silicon Valley. I came there with friends over a few decades and enjoyed the live music. And, way back in 1975, my brother, Tom Martin, was a first live music performer at the Pioneer Saloon. Tom is still a singer songwriter performer.“
“This spot is my favorite Cuban restaurant in South Bay! I've been going here for years and have never been disappointed. The ambience transports you when you walk in! It's a great lively restaurant for date nights, anniversaries, or even a post work dinner with coworkers. Whether you're sitter by the bar or their more intimate dining room, the vibes are immaculate and the servers take good care of you! We sat by the bar and went an hour after they opened on a Wednesday night- they weren't too busy quite yet, but soon picked up. They brought us house bread and we ordered the croquetas and shrimp ceviche to start. The ceviche is good balance of tanginess and spicy. It's served on bread soaked up with the sauce, but somehow not soggy, which they nail every time! The shrimp was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. The pollo croquetas were a special that night and absolutes melted in your mouth. The aoli was an excellent addition to this dish. All the flavors come through even without the sauce. For our main course we ordered arroz con pollo served with my favorite, plantains! The chicken was tender and melted in your mouth. It was well seasoned and as always the flavors were dancing on my tongue haha. We got the plantain crusted goat cheese salad with delicious sherry vinaigrette! It was light and fresh and a great way to end our meal. I absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to explore authentic Cuban food :)“
“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.“
“This bar is both charming and fun. Monica is the best bartender I've had. She will make any drink requested, with ease. She makes a killer espresso Martini! If you're in the area and need a pick me up, this is your place! The ambiance and fun is well worth the price you pay. Coke to Paddy Flynn's for a good time“
“Without a doubt the best Bloody Mary we've ever had. Took my girlfriend to brunch near here a few months ago on a Sunday and we decided to pop in. The crowd was filled with laid back boozers watching football. I forgot the bartenders name but he was a big dude with a beard. He was great. I don't know how he makes his bloody Mary's but they were great! I think my girlfriend thought he was cute too but I thought he was like a 4, but his Bloody Mary's were a 10! We definitely be back here again.“
“Went to the Super Bowl watch party where they offered free pizza slices, popcorn and draft beer discount. You can park in the underground parking garage. The bar and bar lounge area is pretty cool. The staff were all very nice and the food and wine that we had was delicious! We had chips and guacamole. You get a lot of guacamole.We tried their fish & chips which came with coleslaw.The fish was crispy, crunchy and not oily, the chips were tasty and the coleslaw really good. The Prisoner Cabernet was very good.“
“Definitely a very casual laid back dive bar! It seems like a lot of locals visit here and the crowd isn't super rowdy, something I'm all for! They don't have food that I know of but so have light snacks in a vending machine. depending on the bartender you can ask for cocktails but beer and easy drinks are a no brainer. It felt super affordable, and big plus that it was so clean. The bar itself is large and very spacious, I'd gladly come back!“

“Higher prices, but I think that's par for th3 course considering this restaurant is located in an airport.That being said, great level of service here. The entire team works together cohesively to provide refills and to assure that tables' needs and orders are taken care of efficiently. If you sit and watch them work, I think you'll understand what i mean. It's impressive. Further, they didn't seem to mind me hanging out for a bit after I paid while I waited for my next flight.The entire team was great on this visit, afternoon of March 10th. Nazzal (hope i got the spelling correct) and Eric were, in particular, super on top of it. Seemingly easy-going and a good work ethic.Would happily return.“
“Local dive bar that... were you go to see your friends and be greeted with a smile. Bartenders are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced. Pinball, pool or just take a seat at the bar. Chris and George are the best. Check it out. I give them 5 stars.“
“Stopped by three times during my week stay in Palo Alto. Chill, laid-back bar with Pliny on tap. Why try anywhere else when you found something right up your alley? Will be back next time my travels bring me to Stanford. Didn’t have food but looks surprisingly good.“
“This was one of our favorite meals in a while. Kemuri is our current favorite restaurant and I would drive up from South Bay just for a meal there. Highly recommend checking this place out.Our favorite dishes were the mushroom tempura, spicy chicken wings, and wagyu rice bowl/paella. We thought the unagi sliders were just okay and would love to try other dishes like the garlic fried shrimp and black cod.“
“We were here a few weeks ago for dinner on a cold rainy night and this place did not disappoint with a warm inviting atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff!! The menu is amazing and the food was delicious! My sister had the fish and chips she thought it was delicious and fresh as can be! I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries and it was amazing, my Aunt had the chicken sandwich as well with side salad and she said the salad was very fresh and delicious as well as her sandwich. Definitely plan on coming back soon!“
