- MMargaritaSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoDinner was very good. The music is played at a very high volume that conversation was difficult. We asked the hostess to have the music lower a bit and her response was; let me ask the manager. Volume was not lowered; we then asked our waiter and he immediately made the miracle of listening g to the request. Definitely too high of music volume.More infoPausa Bar & CookeryPrice: Expensive• Italian• San Mateo•4.7

- KKeithNew York City •49 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoNever had anything less than a wonderful meal here. Service is always attentive without being intrusive. And the noise level allows for conversation! Portions are good -- we both took some of our entrees home, although we did order apps and extra sides (highly recommend the Brussels sprouts chips).More infoCentral Park BistroPrice: Expensive• American• San Mateo•4.8
- JJohnSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoExcellent service as always, including the food. The added touch with the security guard in the parking lot was perfect in light of the fact that there has been many vehicle break-ins over the years……thank you, Kincaid.……More infoKincaid's Bayhouse - BurlingamePrice: Moderate• Seafood• Burlingame•4.5
