   Consistently fantastic food and one of the best fine dining cocktail menus as well. Beautiful dining room, impeccable friendly service. The only thing I could possibly complain about is the 4% junk fee they tack on. For $250+ /person junk fees should not pop up on the bill.

   We were not welcomed very nicely initially by hostess who said we had no reservation despite the fact that we had multiple email confirmations. When she did find our reservation there was no apology for the rude treatment- like we were infiltrators. Not a good start after over an hour drive. It was a noted birthday celebration and our assigned table had the chairs angled partially in the middle of a main isle. They did offer to have us wait 1/2 hour and ultimately give us a very nice booth and a glass of champagne while we waited. All food was outstanding with the exception of the lobster which was served in an underdone for me translucent state in the middle. It was replaced but still not cooked quite all the way through. They did take off the lobster up charge and brought a beautiful cake over for my husbands birthday. Service in the dining room was phenomenal and all the flavors were absolutely delicious.

   We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience, with both the food and service exceeding our expectations. The flavors were beautifully balanced and incredibly delicious. The wine pairing we requested was spot-on, showcasing the staff’s expertise and attention to detail. A special highlight was the thoughtful provision of a dedicated vegetarian menu for my wife, demonstrating their commitment to accommodating all dietary preferences equally and ensuring everyone feels valued. While there was a slight challenge with an unpleasant odor upon entering the main room, it eventually became less noticeable, probably because we got use to the smell eventually. This minor issue did overshadow the overall excellence of our visit. We look forward to returning and will likely opt for outdoor seating to fully enjoy the ambiance. Highly recommend for an exceptional culinary experience!

   Hello Raghuveer, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the food, wine pairings, and service, and that our vegetarian menu added to your experience. We appreciate your feedback about the odor and wanted to share that it’s likely from the fresh pine wreaths we’ve installed for the holidays. We hope their festive touch enhances the overall ambiance for our guests. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Kind regards, Lorena Rodriguez | Service Manager 650.851.9888

   Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Wearing black pants. Should offer black napkins. Waiter nice but not super attentive. Felt like they wanted to get us served and out of there.

   The Pub has never lost its magic over all these years. It's the perfect combination of elegance, world-class cuisine and wine - paired with warmth, smiles, kindness and professionalism. Now THAT is a tough combination to achieve. The Pub hits it out of the park every time. I've dined there a million times and I still get excited to go each and every time.

    The entire evening was fabulous but the service put it over the top! The restaurant was humming and everyone was at the top of their game. Great night at the Pub.
