Best Steakhouses in Hayward

Forbes Mill is always a favorite restaurant for special gathering or just for the ambience … great food and service

I went to celebrate Valentines day a few days later because every restaurant in America was booked on the actual day (I was bummed but still looked forward to celebrating my favorite day). While at the restaurant, every single staff member greeted us warmly and one went out of her way to make our late celebration feel current by placing rose petals and confetti on our table. I thought that was the sweetest thing! The food being delicious as always made everything just as great. We definitely felt the love and thought the service was outstanding. Thank you for making my night, team. I'll make sure to secure a reservation sooner for Valentines day next year!

Service superb plenty of parking Food are good and fresh

You pay a lot, you get a lot: it's a high end steakhouse.The meat is excellent and well prepared and presented. There is the usual range of other stuff and sides/salads etc. if you don't want meat. So check their menu if you are considering but want something besides red meat. The service was also terrific. I have 2 criticisms, which many will take issue with. First, portion sizes are huge, ridiculously (imo) so. I don't get it, although it may have something to do with economics: you occupy a table for 2 hours, so they have to charge more to make it work economically, so they provide huge portions to make you feel it's worthwhile. I suppose that's the American way. Second, it was rather noisy and difficult to hold a conversation at times. This was of course due to the fact that they were packed, even on a Tuesday night, which tells you something. Also, I'm old, so perhaps somewhat aurally challenged. Enjoy.

We were 5 women and we all had salads. The kitchen catered to our individual requests for modification such as dressing on the side or no onions or bell peppers The salads were very fresh and the grilled chicken was hot and moist - not always the case in other establishments. We did wait about 30 minutes for the salads to arrive. Sundance serves warm, fresh sour dough bread wit both butter and olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We had a birthday in our group and the waiter brought a complimentary slice of mud pie with a candle in it. We split it among us and it was delicious.
