    We arrived far before the time of our reservation. They were still able to seat us right away. We sat outside, but the heaters kept us warm. Service was warm, efficient, and friendly. We started with beets with burrata and toast and then a pizza (great crust!). We thought about dessert but we were already plenty full with just these two dishes.

    I like it quiet and comfortable. It’s a great choice compared to the busy restaurants in the Burlingame and San Mateo area. Parking is complimentary, better than going through the hassle of finding parking spots on busy streets. The lagoon view around the hotel is beautiful. Food is good. Service is warm and attentive.
