Best Fine Dining Restaurants in San Mateo

This is an elegant French restaurant which offers a variety of French cuisine. For appetizers we love the crab cake and escargot’s. The Ceaser salad which is prepared at the table is delicious. Our favorite entrees are the Steak Diane Flambè which is prepared at the table, and Le Liaison Iron Gate. Do not forget to order the soufflés for dessert. They are the best we have tasted…It is definitely a special experience.

Selby’s is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. The lovely, quiet ambiance allows your party to relax and enjoy conversation. You’re greeted outside by the valet and the greeting continues as you check in. The hostess leads you to your table where you’re met by your server who walks you through the fixed price menu. Make no mistake. This restaurant is pricey but the excellent service, delicious food, and extensive wine list make your evening unforgettable. There is also a full bar. The chef sends out a special amuse-bouche to start your meal. We enjoyed the pear and endive salad, petite fillet, lobster, beef Wellington, fruit tart and chocolate cake. Everything was well prepared and presented beautifully. This restaurant located at the edge of Atherton feels like you’re dining in the best SF restaurant.

Excellent experience...thanks for timing out the courses!

Great experience. Staff was attentive, food was delicious and ambience wonderful. Big picture windows of the Bay. Parking, yada, yada, yada. The whole shebang.
