Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Woodside

It's hard to beat the beautiful location of this restaurant along the yacht harbor. Outdoor seating is great. Waitstaff are all very courteous and helpful, though our service was rather slow. (The restaurant was packed on a warm weeknight.) Loved the Liberty Duck salad, which I had as more of an entree. Swordfish and cod entrees were very good and the chowder also got two thumbs up. Cocktails are very good, also.

Great meal. Interesting combinations of ingredients. Lovely restaurant.

The hostess/waitress explained our options carefully and made useful recommendations. Food arrived hot and reasonably fast, service was friendly and efficient. We greatly enjoyed the scallion pancakes that came folded over with a choice of savory stuffing -- we had beef, shrimp, spicy beef. Had never seen anything like it before, except perhaps a taco. The Xiao Long Bao, shanghai soup dumplings, were excellent. All in all, a varied menu, some originals, great execution and service.

We stopped for a late lunch/early dinner. Inside was almost empty-some had opted to eat outside. Service was friendly and prompt. We had red lentil soup and Adana lamb. Lamb portion was large enough to split. Very flavorful. Pistachio baklava. We definitely would return.

I haven’t had Chinese food like this in years. We enjoyed every plate was fabulous. We were drooling as the Peking Duck as the the cart rolled by, but we will be back and to try the Peking Duck on our next venture to I imperial treasure
