- CcolinSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoFood was terrific, wait staff terrific, nice holiday atmosphere and easy parking. All great for a high quality family dining experience. The downside is we were there 3 hours as it took about an hour after first course salads and sides to get the main course, then a long time for desert. Happily since salads and sides came fairly quickly we were not starving and no one was in a hurry. They were not packed, a bit busy. My guess is they are short kitchen staffing.More infoThe Park Bistro & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lafayette•4.4
- NnancyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •17 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWonderful as usual. We went on Christmas Eve and sat outside in the tent. The tent area is quiet. The inside can become very lively. We had the halibut , the harvest dish and my go the puttanesca . All served in a timely manner with great service. I do miss the intimacy of the first restaurant. However, it is great to see them shine at this new place.More infoThe Hideout KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Lafayette•4.5

- JJulieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •33 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 4, 2024The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH! He tried and was gracious but couldn’t meet the demand well. The music was extremely loud. All that said, we would absolutely return!More infoBarrancoPrice: Moderate• Peruvian• Lafayette•4.7
