Best Continental Restaurants in Woodside

We are new to the area and we found this restaurant on OpenTable. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted a place that was quiet, great food & wine and service. The Iron Gate far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Stamos, was fantastic! His recommendations were spot on. We had escargot to start. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We then had their signature salad which was prepared table side. I don't think I've ever had a better salad. For our main course, we had the Iron Gate version of lamb (there was also a New Zealand rack option) and the veal parmigiana. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and just phenomenal. For dessert, we had the grand mariner souffle and it was incredible. One of the best things about the restaurant was watching all of the flambe dishes. The servers were just so precise and you could tell they are passionate about giving each diner an experience.

Loved the food, service and ambiance. All the extra up charges for certain items was excessive!! We don’t mind paying $125 for a prefix dinner but so many if the choices had add on up charge.

We have been going to Trellis for over 20 years. It is consistently good - food, service and ambiance. We had such a wonderful evening! The best part is that it is quiet!

Very nice meal, they weren't too busy. Food came out perfectly cooked (had the filet, medium and shrimp dish). The French Onion soup was phenomenal! Really, really delicious. I definitely will go again, just for the soup!
