- VValerieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •18 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is our annual holiday luncheon and it did not disappoint. Ralph’s service was Impeccable and the food was delicious. The soup of the day (porcini mushrooms with chestnut) was divine. Looking forward to next year at table # 45. 🦋More infoThe Rotunda at Neiman Marcus - San FranciscoPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown / Union Square•4.8
- EETHELVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •22 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOwner Hamdi is the best host in the business. Warm greetings with frequent check in on how the meal is going. The food is spectacular. From the Beef Carpaccio to the Wedge Salad to the Lamb chops and Pasta entre, everything was perfect. THEN to top it off crepes' suzette with ice cream prepared at our table. The wait staff was wonderful. The price very reasonable for such great quality food. A place to spend a special occasion, dinner after work, and any other reason you want. Located in central San Mateo it is walking distance from the center of town. A must go to for everyone.More infoPorterhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• San Mateo•4.7
- SSylviaVIPHawaii •12 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024The brunch was delicious. The service was spotty since we were put in the bar section and the bartender was the one serving our table. He got busy with making drinks as more people entered the restaurant so it's not really his fault that we did get much service.More infoPaul Martin's American Grill - San MateoPrice: Moderate• American• San Mateo•4.3
