    What an extraordinary view. Recently renovated. Beautiful and comfortable inside. Wonderful menu with good choices for lunch. Champagne and wine. Wish I had tried a cocktail. The Chef, Ron-a fellow Philadelphia Eagles fan- was kind enough to stop out to the table and say hi. Very much look forward to returning next time we are in California.

    We had the best experience at Mayfield. Our server Presley was very friendly & knowledgeable. We ordered the broccolini, beets & burrata & the ribeye. Each dish was delicious with unique flavors, & prepared with so much attention to detail. Would highly recommend!

    The service and food were over the top amazing. This was our first time there and starting from the salad to the martini to the dessert, we had an incredible Valentines Day dinner. We will most definitely be back. Thank you for a great date night for me and my fiance. In case you're wondering what we had it was as follows: Incredible dinner salad. I mean when the salad is this good you can only imagine what the food will be like. We then had an incredibly juicy lamb burger and meatloaf. Both were a wow experience. Then we topped everything off with the Ridiculous Sundae and yes it was ridiculously delicious. Put this place on your bucket list.
