Best Fine Dining Restaurants in San Mateo

This place is great. The staff was friendly and bartender was amazing. We sat at the bar with a great view of the TV, actually only view of the TV. Love P&HB!

Always love the Iron Gate. They are old school, just like us! They warm the bread, make artistic "mounds" out of their butter, make the Caesar salad table-side. Our entrees of shellfish (shrimp & scallops over rice & fresh veggies) & filet of sole (with potatoes anna & fresh veggies) were wonderful. Tasty, beautifully presented. We were celebrating an anniversary and were treated to a lovely ice cream/strawberry dessert. We met at the Iron Gate 43 years ago, so it is special for us! Miguel was a great waiter.

Amazing, consistent, uniquely local. I might just make a reservation tomorrow

Great place, really nice dinner and excellent service for my wife's birthday.

Last Friday we dined at the Coconut Bay restaurant to celebrate our friend’s birthday. My reservation was at 12 noon for party of 3. When we arrived, I was impressed by the reception area. Gerry checked us in and I mentioned that it was our first time eating here. The dining rooms’ decorations created a particular atmosphere or feeling of Thai. We changed our booth table to a standard table. It was not crowded the day we dined. Gerry, the server, was very helpful explaining the lunch menu sets. Our eyes were on the Deluxe Lunch Set. He also clarified the type of noodles from Group A and obliged my friend’s request without egg. We ordered Highway & Drunkard Noodles separately. Then we had the same Tofu & Egglant from Group B order but I got the choice of seafood and my friends had the shrimps. The food arrived one at a time that was served similar to a bento box. The food had a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy tastes. We asked for a bowl of steamed rice to complement our tofu & eggplant dish. We all said the food was scrumptious. Later Gerry came with a birthday cheesecake that surprised our friend. Our other friend ordered the same deluxe lunch to take home. Overall, the atmosphere or ambiance, food and service of Gerry & other staff are excellent. We will definitely go again!
