- AAnitaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •81 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe've been here several times before. First time was great and we were so happy to have a filipino restaurant close to us. Second time wasn't as great but it was during covid . Third time was good so we vowed to go again. This time the food was excellent! We felt that they really stepped up their game. Each dish was delicious. Service was good but they were busy so we had to wait to get someone to come to our table when we needed something. The room has loud acoustics so it gets loud when it fills up so it's an energetic vibe. We brought our own wine and corkage was only $15 which is AWESOME! I'm always happy with reasonable corkage fees. So happy to be able to get tasty yummy filipino food close by!More infoAvenidaPrice: Expensive• Filipino• San Mateo•4.4

- 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
