    We generally love Burlingame, but have not explored this side. And Park Bistro did not disappoint! I will definitely go back with my husband as there are more dishes and cocktails to try!

    We went to Il Fornaio to celebrate my mother’s 99 year old birthday. The light above the table didn’t shine. The manager was very nice and moved us to another table. He then looked for the waiter to serve us. The waiter was really nice and polite, trying to please us. Food was fantastic and portions were good! We have a wonderful time and they gave my mom a complimentary dessert with a candle and wished her a happy birthday with the song. My mom was very happy and left with a fond memory. We’ll definitely go back for dinners and celebrations to come.

    Felt like the servers weren’t as attentive as we had hoped for. Asking to have our drinks refilled and other food items should’ve been automatic. Especially with a table with ten people, we shouldn’t have to ask for more wine, bread etc. While the food was good, portion size was on the smaller side too. We sat in the bar and ordered drinks while we waited for our table and had asked the bartender to switch the TV channel. The TV connection wasn’t working and didn’t connect the entire evening. Small things.
