This meal was one of those very memorable ones where everything was perfect! It was a beautiful evening and we sat outside with the lovely white lights all around. Our waitress was very, very helpful and we received impeccable service. We had the pear martini - oh, my, so delicious! We shared the warm Napa cabbage salad; it was incredible, so unusual and delicious and more than enough for two. We both had the teriyaki steak - again delicious with tender and tasty steak, yummy mashed potatoes and tender green beans. Iâm not a huge onion ring fan but the three large fried onion rings were almost the highlight of the meal! We shared the warm and wonderful bread pudding for dessert - more than enough and absolutely scrumptious. I would say this is not an inexpensive restaurant; with all of the above plus a half bottle of wine, our tab with tip for two was around $180. However, if you want a special dinner, Iâm sure you wonât be disappointed and there certainly are less expensive options available.

This is a lovely victorian house converted into a cafe in downtown Redwood City. You can sit in one of four rooms in the house, with the tables nicely spaced (not too crowded), the service is good, but the real treat for having breakfast here are the remarkable Swedish Pancakes, made with oatmeal. Don't miss them.

We got there a few minutes before noon. They didnât open until 12:00. There are a few parties before us. We ordered Rueben sandwich, cheese steak sandwich, draft beer pastrami salad and grill cheeses sandwich. Everything came out good as expected. This week is Silicon Valley beer week. There are a few specials on sale.

Try the lobster roll (packed full with delicious lobster chunks). Both, the white New England clam chowder and red Manhattan clam chowder are packed with clams (not all potatoes). The calamari and fish and chips are fried to perfection. Delicious food casual atmosphere. Sometimes has a long line to order, but worth the wait.

This place was just what I was looking for! The food was fantastic, and the service was great! I ordered the Huevos Racheros, and could not have been happier! Also, some of our party is gluten free, and I donât think I have ever had such a fantastic gluten free waffle in my life.

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.

Been going here on and off for the past few years I haven't been there for a while and I was very pleasantly surprised to see a pretty authentic flamenco show. However the food is overpriced and so so. I did go for the show not the food.

Full scale lunch menu, including lighter faire like salads and pizzas. i had the mussels and my lunch partner had salad. Both were very good. Although the mussels were slightly overcooked, the sauce was excellent. I recommend this restaurant and bet that it would be good for dinner too.
