Best Historic Restaurants in Woodside

Selby’s is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. The lovely, quiet ambiance allows your party to relax and enjoy conversation. You’re greeted outside by the valet and the greeting continues as you check in. The hostess leads you to your table where you’re met by your server who walks you through the fixed price menu. Make no mistake. This restaurant is pricey but the excellent service, delicious food, and extensive wine list make your evening unforgettable. There is also a full bar. The chef sends out a special amuse-bouche to start your meal. We enjoyed the pear and endive salad, petite fillet, lobster, beef Wellington, fruit tart and chocolate cake. Everything was well prepared and presented beautifully. This restaurant located at the edge of Atherton feels like you’re dining in the best SF restaurant.

Most impressive. The setting of course is beautiful, but food and the service were even more remarkable.

Joe was fantastic! Great attentive service and made us feel special. Really enjoyed our birthday first visit.

Lovely dining experience here. Great for a date! Quiet and calm ambience and delicious menu. I enjoyed Chicken Tortilla Soup which was excellent. Rich, blended flavors.

Only problems: service was a little tough to get after the food came. And the fries aren’t very good. But the fried fish is amazing.
