This mid-peninsula go-to for special occasions is reliably a memorable gathering place for celebrations of any sort. It is also a nice restaurant for a romantic or quiet evenings, because although it can be festive, the dining room setting is beautifully lit and comfortable. The menu is extensive, and the server will recite from memory the evening specials. Table side service of their famous caesar salad, or steak diane are dining traditions rarely found anymore.We have been there on a friday or saturday night where after dinner, have retreated into the bar area where patrons are on their feet dancing to a crowd-pleasing band. A great place to have a lovely meal, then dance it off!

Corned-beef hash is simply amazing! The breakfast is wonderful. I was very happy, and their breakfast is most certainly for a king! Thereâs a reason the parking lot of full. My only concern is access on a weekday morning as I plan to go tomorrow.

Fantastic place for breakfast. Great neighborhood find.My wife & I had breakfast here on Sunday after about a 2 year absence. Fresh coffee (and hot) while you wait for your table.Omelets are all excellent, Eggs Benedict is great. All served with home style potatoes. The service is so good. Everyone is very friendly, cheerful & helpful. I feel good just being around these people. It won't be 2 years before we visit NIni's again. Best breakfast in San Mateo.

In times of low carb and protein loaded salad steamed chicken low-fat organic gluten free sunshine smoothie wrap there is a remaining place where 95% of the customers are men-hungry men. This place offers barbecue that makes you dreaming. Atmosphere is more a dining room than a Separee. Food quality and service is perfect. If you need to work after a lunch go for a small Plate.

My wife & I had dinner at Godfather's & we really enjoyed our meal. The décor is nice, very upscale for a burger joint.Our server was Alan & he really did a good job. Very nice & accommodating. Always made sure we had everything we needed.My wife had the California Burger & I had the Godfather Burger. My wife burger had avocado & mushrooms. It was messy & kind of fell apart, but she ate the whole thing & loved it. My burger was excellent. I don't think I have had a better burger, at least I can't think of where I would have had it. This burger was perfect. The meat was excellent & was cooked perfectly. The lettuce, tomatoes & red onions were very fresh & made the burger just right.We'll be back & I'll try a different burger, maybe.Happy to hear you and your wife loved it! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll be sure to pass on the kind words to Alan. Hope to have you back again real soon. -Mike

I had dinner at Mistral with a group of people from the office. We had a large table with about 10 people out in the patio. Several other groups were there as well so definitely a lively place. Appetizers, dinner, and drinks were very good and the service was awesome. Nothing missed or late for a large group. I enjoyed the place and will go back next time I'm in the area.

Service was excellent serious looking staff except for the smiling order taker/cashierbut all efficient & quicke service, quick clean table after each customer leaves. Food were great..love what I had, hubby & I were content, were full but light on the belly. The place is crowded on breakfast and lunch. Parking spot is gold...you have to go between 1:30pm-2pm to beat the crowd & soon to close. The place is funky & interesting each wall has its eclectic wall decor its a combo of anything goes....

Both waiters and the kitchen were overwhelmed by the packed restaurant. This was Sunday of Labor Day weekend. But most annoying was that they took a reservation for 6 with a request for deck seating. After being strung along, we finally went outside to look and discovered that there are no tables for 6 on the deckâonly for 2 or 4. Many of these canât be put together without blocking the walkway. Yet, they strung us along until it became obvious that there was NEVER going to be a time on a busy night where two of the relevant adjoining tables would be available. Why not just say so when 1) Taking the reservation; or 2) Upon arrival? When we were finally seated indoors in an undesirable location (because we waited for the phantom table outside), food was cold, overcooked and a drink was forgotten. They gave us a couple of appetizers and a beer because of the messed up food, but the overwhelming experience was very poor.TravelRab - Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your dining experience. The general manager of the San Mateo Restaurant, Simon, would appreciate the opportunity to discuss it with you. Please email me a way to contact you at [email protected] I hope to hear from you soon. Kirk B

Like other BJ's Restaurants that I have visited, this place is no exception and is on the noisy side. The food is on par with other BJ's as well and is generally dependable and good. It is located in a shopping center with convenient parking outside the restaurant. Service was good too.

If you want that big hunk of meat and a creamy glob of garlic mashed topped off with honkinâ piece of cheesecake, put on your eatinâ pants and go to Vans. A former bathhouse with a peculiar interior now an artery clogging family place. Salty, fatty goodness, not fancy or presuming, just big american dishes that clog your veins and empty your wallet.
