Tasty food in a great social environment. Had a work gathering here and the experience was good. It's an upscale bar feel. I call it sitcom dining. When you watch a sitcom you know you're going to be entertained but you don't expect Oscar level acting. Here you'll get good food, cold drinks and a nice atmosphere. But don't expect Gordon Ramsay to show up. And ask you how your dinner is. Food and appetizers came out fairly quickly. Service was attentive. Fairly large place and we did not have to wait. They did seat us at a booth which is not ideal for party of six or eight. But apparently the bigger tables were full. Good variety of food options. Some of the preparation is slightly different than you would expect. The quesadilla was either fried or seared. So the tortilla was crispy versus soft. Clearly not a big deal but I must have missed that detail in the menu. It's a pretty busy place so you sometimes have to flag down your server. But they are pretty responsive. The food is kind of heavy. It's bar food. Rich and savory. I went for a lighter meal and had the lemon chicken which was very moist and delicious. Parking was a little tight but not a big problem. This place is likely busy during prime time so get there early! I would recommend it for a get-together with friends or a casual dinner.

I am in the area for business purposes and decided to stop and a drink. I was unaware at the time that it was the soft opening for this location. You would have never known with how attentive and well put together the operations and the staff were. Many of the servers are being trained, as the location has just opened. The server that took care of me was amazing and really made my experience this evening, her name was Permeet. I was exceptionally impressed with the trainer of my server, I believe his name was Jeremy. Managers had even stopped by my table to ensure I was enjoying my meal! As I mentioned I traveled to the area for work, so I was dining alone. The community in the restaurant really made me feel comfortable and right at home. Aside from the experience, the food was phenomenal. I had such a hard time choosing my meal, as there are so many amazing options! I am pleased I went with the Flat Iron Steak, as it was cooked to perfection. The drink menu was also great! I went with the Rum Barrel Punch and it had me feeling as if my toes should be in the sand! If you like rum punches, DEFINITELY try this one. It will quickly become a favorite. If you are in the area, be sure to check out this establishment! I can’t wait to find one close to home!

Met someone a little late and saw this place right here and they were open late. Nice facility and friendly service. Our server was attentive enough but could've save himself time and effort (and our frustration) by simply looking at our table/orders and figuring out that we might need ketchup for our fries and onion rings, malt vinegar for my fish and chips, more than one tiny tartar sauce for four pieces of fish, etc. Instead we had to start eating and wait to see him and again so we could call him over to ask for things which should have been offered or brought from the start. We ordered - Fish & Chips, it came with four pieces of cod and cold soggy fries which were obviously sitting around but they give you lots of it. The pieces of fish were so uniform in shape and size to each other and the batter fairly lifeless that one could get the impression that these were previously frozen. - Pasta Alfredo with shrimp. Ok, not great, not bad. - Cheeseburger. This was perfectly cooked to a medium and the best thing we had hands down. - We ordered the white cheddar cheese curds which seems like their take on fried cheese sticks. Came with some pink ranch dressing tasting sauce which was very sub par. I thought there were supposed to come with Marinara, this had nothing to do with any Marinara. This appetizer didn't even come out until after we had been eating for about 10 minutes, we had to ask where they were. Jamaican Lemonade. Small glass of overpriced, watery, beverage. Skip it Maybe if you drink a bunch of the cool craft beers or alcohol the food will impress you more with quantity. That's what I'm thinking is the process to follow here to improve your experience. Order alcohol, watch the game, get buzzed and eat. + Nice place, easy parking, Foster City police don't mess around with losers casing the lot, cool beer selection, open late, good burger. Few options are available nearby open late so you could do worse but I'm not sold.

My husband and I live in the peninsula area and always drove down to Cupertino for the Lazy Dog there. When we found out this location was opening in San Mateo, WAY closer to our home, we were so happy! We went on opening night and were not disappointed! The food and drinks were as great as ever. We even joined the beer club since it was such a good deal (we highly recommend asking about it if you plan to come here often). The atmosphere is clean, laid back, and very cool. The food is amazing. They have a wide variety of options in their drinks, appetizers, and entrees. My husband’s favorite beer is the huckleberry haze IPA and mine is the Pink Lemon Drop cocktail or the white peach sangria! You can’t go wrong with anything here. Everything we have tried has been awesome. Whenever the food or drinks show up we get so excited I forget to take photos but this is one from our visit where my husband got the St. Louis ribs and his clearly very pleased with them 😅 It goes without saying but we highly recommend this restaurant and will absolutely be back soon!

I visited their South Bay location a few years ago and really enjoyed the Bison Burger. With this new location in San Mateo, I decided to try something new and was sadly disappointed. They have an expensive menu, but the prices don't reflect the quality nor portions of the food. I had the Fried Chicken Sandwich for $20 and it was quite small. I paid an extra $2.50 for a side of their sweet potato tots and once more, it looked like I ordered from a children's menu as I could count the number of tots provided. My friend had the chicken pot pie and found it quite unappetizing as it lacked flavor. The drinks also left a lot to be imagined. Both the strawberry lemonade and the pineapple coconut agua fresca were too sweet and not worth the cost of $6+ While the service is good and our server checked in with us constantly and they have a nice outdoor patio to dine in, I was still hungry after my "full meal"

Great new option in SM/FC Area. Convenient location - near Target! Went last night for dinner with a Party of 3 + 2 dogs. There was no person to check you in on the patio, you have to go inside. I wonder how people dining alone with a dog would go about this since dogs aren’t allowed inside the building under any circumstances? The wait around 7pm was quoted to us as 40min but we only ended up waiting about 15min. Food was okay but greasy. Service was excellent! Doris was attentive, friendly and efficient! We loved the doggy meals for $5 (grilled chicken or hamburger patty over rice and veg) and the doggies enjoyed it very much. We ordered brussel sprouts which were drowning in butter, the waffle cut chips/fries were heavy and greasy, the buffalo cauliflower was mushy, the elote fries were okay. Candied bacon was great! Calamari strips appetizer was sickly sweet.
