- RRichardVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •44 reviews4.0Dined todayThe food was very good and a good value. We had five people ordered a whole chicken two extra sides and a pizza with drinks. Fed all of us for $120. My wife has a lot of allergies and this menu is well marked.More infoRise Woodfire - San MateoPrice: Moderate• American• San Mateo•4.3
- CChrisVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •31 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoIron Gate is a special place. It never fails to deliver a memorable experience. It’s a bit of a time warp…the menu is traditional but the food is always excellent. It’s the service that sets IG apart- it’s impeccable, friendly, entertaining, and what you wish other restaurants offered! We celebrated a birthday and they nailed it! Joe (waiter) was fantastic! As were Tanner and the entire team!More infoIron GatePrice: Very Expensive• French• Belmont•4.9
- RRobertSan Francisco Bay Area •11 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThis French restaurant, at the corner of Primrose and Chapin Aves in Burlingame, is well worth a 5-star rating on all counts. Modern, yet subtle, decor, unobtrusive period music in the background, excellent and varied selections, ample portions, and fantastic service provide a reason to return time and time again. Our party of three enjoyed the rack of lamb, the lobster ravioli, and the cassoulet. Each dish showed the attention and skills of a master chef. In addition to a la carte choices, they offer a prix fixe menu at $65 that provides an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert, with no menu exceptions, for this very sensible price. The restaurant offers a broad selection of wines and beer but does not have a full bar so anyone in need of a cocktail before dinner may feel temporary disappointment. Nonetheless, Chou Chou is fine dining!More infoChouchou French Bistro BurlingamePrice: Moderate• French• Burlingame•4.6
- MMelanieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •11 reviews5.0Dined on 25 Dec 2024Double celebration of Christmas Day and birthday dinner. We wanted a good beef dinner for Christmas Day and Porterhouse did not disappoint. Greeted warmly by the hostess. Ambiance was nice and cozy in the little alcove. Bruno came by to say “hello” to our birthday girl. Her family are frequent diners of Porterhouse. Food, wine and beer selections were great. Service by Kayla during our dinner was superb. We very much enjoyed our filet mignon, porterhouse and prime rib! Will be back when we want an excellent quality beef dinner.More infoPorterhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• San Mateo•4.7
