Best Live Music Restaurants in San Carlos

We are new to the area and we found this restaurant on OpenTable. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted a place that was quiet, great food & wine and service. The Iron Gate far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Stamos, was fantastic! His recommendations were spot on. We had escargot to start. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We then had their signature salad which was prepared table side. I don't think I've ever had a better salad. For our main course, we had the Iron Gate version of lamb (there was also a New Zealand rack option) and the veal parmigiana. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and just phenomenal. For dessert, we had the grand mariner souffle and it was incredible. One of the best things about the restaurant was watching all of the flambe dishes. The servers were just so precise and you could tell they are passionate about giving each diner an experience.

The food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the outstanding jazz trio of Mikel Bee (drummer), pianist, and bassist—excellent taste in the standards, solid rhythms, and savvy voicings. The filet minion souvlaki was delicious. Another nice touch was the tasty hot roll with olive oil while waiting for our order. We did not have a drink since we had to work tomorrow morning, but the bar appeared well-stocked, and the drinks looked attractive. We'll return, especially for the music offered on Monday nights (5-9 pm). It is about time that San Carlos had some hip live music happening again.

Always a delicious variety of breakfast and brunch choices, friendly and attentive staff and clean and comfortable environment. Our favorite weekend brunch buffet spot on the peninsula. The chocolate fountain was my daughter's favorite part of our visit. Rice krispie treats, marshmallows, strawberries, brownies, cookies.. everso scrumptious!! The omelette station never ceases to amaze the taste buds with all the essential ingredients and toppings necessary for a mouthwatering omelette. There's definitely dishes I would have loved to have enjoyed, but I had to save room for the hot, crispy and fluffy waffles with whipped nutella, fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana slices, topped with whipped cream, drizzled with rich syrup. We enjoyed every moment and every bite of our brunch buffet experience. We would have appreciated the bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs and potatoes a bit more if they were a few more degrees hotter. They seemed just below room temp, by the time we got back to our table and took our first bites. Some items, such as the roasted chicken and prime rib required a bit more seasoning for our taste. A few dashes of pepper and salt at our table made these servings almost perfect. Thanks to our server Alyssa, our glasses were never empty, every sip of our coffee was always hot, and our table was never cluttered with used plates. We sincerely appreciate the Pinstripe staff for consistently making our brunch experiences amazing!! Can't wait to come for another visit for a plateful of seconds, thirds, fourths, etc. etc. 😋

We went for lunch and both had the Fish & Chips which were excellent. Three pieces of fish came with freshly fried chips and a side of slaw. We had great service from our waiter, Mauricio. Highly recommended.

Great food , service and bar! Highly recommend this red
