- KKarletteVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •52 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWe arrived far before the time of our reservation. They were still able to seat us right away. We sat outside, but the heaters kept us warm. Service was warm, efficient, and friendly. We started with beets with burrata and toast and then a pizza (great crust!). We thought about dessert but we were already plenty full with just these two dishes.More infoPausa Bar & CookeryPrice: Expensive• Italian• San Mateo•4.7

- KKatherineSan Francisco Bay Area •25 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a great time celebrating Valentine's Day at Mistral - we hadn't been in years and just live down the street. The prix fixe menu was lovely, and there was plenty of choice for us. Food was all well-prepared - I especially enjoyed my lobster risotto, and my husband especially enjoyed his poached pear salad. The service was lovely, too, and we really loved sitting out on the patio by the fireplace and under the heat lamps. Our only comment is that we still find the price to be a bit high. But we still enjoyed ourselves!More infoMistral Restaurant & Bar - Redwood CityPrice: Moderate• Californian• Redwood City•4.4
- PPSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on Jan 19, 2025Food was delectably delicious. Beautiful presentation; extremely detailed. An explosion of flavors. King salmon was moist, yet crispy outside. Medium rare steak cooked to perfection. Even the French Press coffee was smooth and full of flavor. You just have to try it. Highly recommend!More infoAll Spice – San MateoPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• San Mateo•4.8
