    My second trip to Forbes Mill… and it won’t be my last! Excellent wait service, and excellent food… If you don’t like their steaks, I don’t know where you can go to get one that tastes better! The cowboy ribeye bone-in is my favorite …yes it’s $69 at the moment but it is so worth it! I’ll be back in August!

    The food was somewhat under par this time. I went back specifically for the surf and turf which I thought was the best I ever had in my previous visit. This time the lobster was rather small and dry. The filet that was ordered medium rare did not have the same texture as usual and was not as juicy and was not under seasoned. Pretty disappointing for my 25th wedding anniversary meal.

    So delicious! We came for our anniversary dinner and the service was exceptional. They customized our menu for our anniversary and we got a free dessert at the end. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sides/ appetizers were delicious. Will definitely be coming back.

    Steaks were prepared perfectly. Brussels Sprouts and Asparagus were delicious. Ahi Poke Appetizer and the Kona Coffee Creme Brulee Dessert were worth going back for. The staff was attentive and made sure that our dinner was to our liking.

    Very good neighborhood steakhouse with great service. The appetizers are good, cuts of meat are very good quality but not the best you’ve ever had. Good ambiance and atmosphere, but a little bit more casual of an atmosphere than some of the fanciest of steakhouses in the SF Bay Area.

    I would have given more stars but the basket with the bread had a blonde hair stuck to it. When I pointed it out to the hostess, she stated, after pulling it out, "That must be mind from floating around when I walk by". Very disgusted for a $170 meal, no one seemed to give a damn at such an expensive place. Unlikely we will return after that, yuck!.

    This was our first time and we made reservations for my husbands birthday. The waiter was great at making recommendations for food, as well as cocktails. Everything we ate was delicious and wait time was minimal. The ambience was perfect for a birthday date night. I think any table was a great spot. Service was friendly and attentive.

    As it was a special occasion, we made a special seating request, which they honored. They also took that extra step to really acknowledge it, and we appreciated that! On to the meal - Cocktails, Oysters, Salads, Steaks, Dessert, all delicious. Standout was the filet with peppercorn sauce. The steaks are a bit pricey but they do a good job on making sure it's to your liking. The sides are good too and if you really want to get a good value to even things out a bit the wine list has some great wines at very reasonable prices. If you're in the mood to splurge they also have an amazing selection of high end stuff. Good by the glass selection as well! A very solid restaurant.
