We had a get together dinner.... we were high school classmates with our spouses gathering decades after graduating from our local high school...Espetus Churrascaria seemed to be a perfect choice... the various cuts of meats were very good. Having been to Fogo de Chau in San Jose several times in the past few months, I can say that the meats at Espetus were better marinated which resulted in offerings with nicer flavors... unfortunately, the salad bar fell somewhat short on the evening that we had reserved our table. The prosciutto and salami were excellent, the dried tomatoes, marinated mushrooms and artichoke hearts were very good.... but aside from prepared salads (potato, bean or slaw), the traditional green salad with lettuce, tomatoes, palm and artichoke hearts, cucumbers, croutons etc. with a salad dressing that one expects when you think of a SALAD BAR did NOT exist. A big disappointment.The restaurant was clean and the service was attentive.Finally, their âfreeâ WiFi did not work at all!!! Thank you for choosing Espetus for your recent reunion. Though we do apologize for any WiFi issues, it's a pleasure to know everyone enjoyed their meals overall. We hope you'll decide to dine with us again!

The renowned art of dry aging finally arrives in San Mateo, as our new dry aging window is now completed. We are proud to be the only restaurant on the Peninsula (In between San Francisco & San Jose) to have an in-house dry aging facility. Our new menu f

Our first time dining here and it turned out pretty good. Big portion, nice food presentation, and service is not bad. Their steak wouldâve been perfect had it not been salty. I love their twice-baked potatoes that comes with every steak. There is no need to order side dishes bec each steak comes with twice-baked potatoes with veggies. Ambiance is pretty nice and it can be romantic. If you have party of less than 4 people or less, a three course pre-fix of $39 is a great deal. Take advantage of it and be sure to ask for it bec itâs not voluntarily offered.

Now you don't have to travel to San Francisco's House of Prime Ribs to get excellent prime ribs if you're in the San Mateo area. This place on 3rd Ave in San Mateo will fit the bill. Their presentation is very similar to the famous restaurant in San Francisco without the crowd and noise. However, you should make a reservation during the peak dining hour just to be safe. Aside from the prime ribs, you could also order rack of lamb, salmon or chicken, so if there's a non-prime rib person in your group, there are alternatives to beef. Along with your dinner, you get a puff bread, salad and a choice of 2 sides. The atmosphere is nice and clean, and the noise level is low so you could carry a normal conversation. An excellent dining experience for couples or family...
