- MMargaritaSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoDinner was very good. The music is played at a very high volume that conversation was difficult. We asked the hostess to have the music lower a bit and her response was; let me ask the manager. Volume was not lowered; we then asked our waiter and he immediately made the miracle of listening g to the request. Definitely too high of music volume.More infoPausa Bar & CookeryPrice: Expensive• Italian• San Mateo•4.7

As always, the service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to make the evening special. The food was absolutely delicious—perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. From the warm ambiance to the attentive service, every visit reminds me why Porterhouse is a favorite. Thank you to the entire team for consistently delivering such an outstanding dining experience! Bruno you are the BEST!👍💯More infoPorterhousePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• San Mateo•4.7
- KKeithNew York City •49 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoNever had anything less than a wonderful meal here. Service is always attentive without being intrusive. And the noise level allows for conversation! Portions are good -- we both took some of our entrees home, although we did order apps and extra sides (highly recommend the Brussels sprouts chips).More infoCentral Park BistroPrice: Expensive• American• San Mateo•4.8
- JJosephSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe went here two days in a row - It was THAT GOOD! We had a party of 8 the first day and went back with just 2 for a second time Wait staff was great both times. Portions are generous and staff is attentive. Variety is wide with something for every taste. Pizzas are incredibly fresh, crispy and loaded with toppings. Chicken was unbelievably moist with a crispy skin. Wine selection is considerable. Deserts are also wonderful! Ambience is comfortable, but active and the area is worth walking around. OUTSTANDING in every way. This will be my "goto" whenever I'm in the area.More infoRise Woodfire - San MateoPrice: Moderate• American• San Mateo•4.5
