- RRobertaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •45 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOur dinner at Farm & Vine was just a delightful evening from beginning to end. We arrived early and they made a special effort to accommodate us. The menu is extensive and interesting. The paella was as good as we'd had anywhere. Petrale sole was perfectly cooked, the calamari starter came with a tasty dip, and loved the profiteroles as a finish. Good as the food was, the service was even more exceptional. Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, everyone worked together smoothly as a team. We'll make a special trip over to Burlingame just to go back!More infoFarm and VinePrice: Moderate• Farm-to-table• Burlingame•4.8
