Superb is the right word. The food is the trifecta: artfully presented, imaginative, and unique. The first hour of being there was very quiet (we had an early res). We were seated by Embarcadero window as sun was going down. We had the same excellent waiter (Dennis) whom we've had before. Just a total pleasure and we'll definitely go back (having recommended Boulevard frequently since our last visit). Keep up the great work!

You cannot go wrong going to Zazie. The food is amazing, there is not a bad choice on the menu. You must have the hot chocolate for dessert! The staff, the food, the atmosphere. Everything is 5 stars.

We’ve been coming to SaltYard in Burlingame for many years, whether for dinner with friends or celebrating special occasions and milestone birthdays. The food is always delicious, and the service is consistently excellent. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. SaltYard never disappoints and remains one of our favorite restaurants. Highly recommended!

I had the American burger (with crispy fries) and my friend had the Croque Madame Sandwich and a green salad. We both had the Blue Lagoon Mimosas, and they were delicious. The service was first rate, and I am eager to return. Can't beat the view of the Pacific Ocean.
