Woodside Restaurants

This was my 5th visit. It’s such a fun beautiful venue, very loud and wonderful view. The service is impeccable and the seating very comfortable. My disappointment is that my favorite lobster sandwich comes alone on a big plate. The sides are beans, asparagus and fries but no fruit or salad option. I feel that for $32 the small sandwich should come at least with some small garnish. Also the chocolate chip cookies are very dry. The Mulhuland salad is yummy. They need some sort of chocolate dessert on the menu.

It was perfect. The food was perfect. The service is perfect. The ambience is perfect.

Our lunch for five at Village Bakery in the middle of a day long business meeting ensured that everyone was well fed and happy, and that we could continue our conversation thru lunch. VB did a great job of accommodating this. The hostess put us at a nice back patio table. Diego was the ideal server. Knowledgeable, personable, humorous at just the right times without trying! I appreciate that he could sense when the topic was turning serious and waited a beat to tell us about menu items, magically bring more ice teas, ply us with dessert suggestions (twist our arms!!) etc. The food was perfect as usual: omelettes, pizzas, salads, all excellent. My mid-Peninsula go-to restaurant for either a business lunch or a fun date night with another couple.

My next closest experience was The French Laundry, the atmosphere is wonderfully comfortable while not being overly done. The service was deep and wide with attentiveness, combined with a sense of privacy! The food, well really speaks for itself! Every single dish is artfully put together for all the senses!! We will be going back!! This was a very special Tuesday date night, the best part being my amazing partner!!

We're lived less than 5 miles from the restaurant for over 25 years and just "discovered" it 2 weeks ago. We had a lovely dinner and enjoyed the service that Max our server treated us too. So much so that we had a celebratory dinner with 7 and chose Firehouse Bistro for last nights dinner. It didn't disappoint! Great atmosphere, lovely accommodations and very good food. Everyone enjoyed the occasion.
