Town

Not too bad of a spot Location is good with plenty to walk to and browse Food was good. The meat was a bit "salty" But still flavorful Drinks were decent. Had to have my whiskey sour made again. But second time around it was delicious Plenty of menu items to choose from

Met a good old friend for a special dinner. Town doesn't do reservations, so I was curious what a Monday at 6:00pm would be like. It was a rare warm February Monday on a full moon night, we got a table outside. The heat lamps were on. Our waiter was like *magic.* Literally. We ordered the BLT wedge salad to share. The waiter asked if we wanted it chopped for easier sharing, we said YES. Then we ordered our mains: filet of beef and porterhouse. Before our waiter even left the table with our order, the chopped BLT wedge was served. It was honestly like *magic* and we are still in awe about how that even happened, even now IDK. I had the baseball cut of filet (pictured) and it was absolutely flawless. I am always embarrassed to ask for it medium-well because I know I'm not supposed to do that. But the waiter smiled when I did and when it came out it was absolute perfection. A nice clean piece of meat done exactly how I like it, WELL. Town is my favorite local steakhouse now, even better than The Sundance Mine Company in Palo Alto. I highly recommend it. We didn't have room for dessert, but if the Not Your Grandma's Cheesecake came in the mason jar container to go I would've done it. No questions asked. What a fun time!

Town absolutely delivered. The food was phenomenal, the drinks were perfectly balanced, and the entire experience felt polished without being stuffy. We sat outside on a sunny afternoon that still had a little chill in the air, and they thoughtfully positioned the heaters for us which made it incredibly comfortable. Service like that matters. One steak came out slightly overcooked, but they handled it flawlessly. Not only did they correct it quickly, they insisted on removing it from the bill entirely. That level of accountability speaks volumes. I don’t usually gravitate toward fish, but the halibut was to die for. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and executed with precision. This place continues to set the bar for downtown San Carlos dining.

I have been waiting to return to Town for a while and I finally went for lunch. Beautiful decor and service was great! We did not have a reservation and wanted to sit indoors because it was chilly, so we sat at the bar. I had not been back to Town in years and so I came with a veteran and she ordered. My only addition was the mushroom soup. Everything tasted okay. Sushi roll was not my favorite. The soup was good, but basic. The crispy chicken sandwich was not crispy. The highlight was the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. It was good to come back and check out this very popular local restaurant. Check it out to see if you like it more than I did.

Great place. Great food. Great service. Had the cheesy garlic bread, prime rib, teriyaki skirt steak, bread pudding. Our server Jessica was fantastic, shared honest opinion about a plate we were considering, happily took care of one small issue we had with our order. Arrived about 6pm, had a 45 minute wait at the bar. Everything, everyone was great.

I recently had a business lunch at Town restaurant in San Carlos on a Wednesday. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, we managed to secure a table without much hassle. The service was exceptional, and the food truly stood out with generous portion sizes. We started with a selection of appetizers to share, including the Philly Steak Spring Rolls, Town Super Rolls, and New Orleans BBQ Shrimp—all were absolutely delicious. For my main course, I opted for the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass, as I prefer white fish, and it did not disappoint. The server had recommended the Roasted Salmon, which I might try on my next visit. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience with great service and flavorful dishes. Highly recommend for both business and casual meals!

Came here for lunch with our clients. Been here many times and have always received great service and excellent food. The wait-staff made our dining experience outstanding. They were super friendly, joked with us and very attentive. They made sure our food came out hot and timely, and our drinks replenished. For appetizers we ordered the tomato & burrata and French fries. I had the warm Napa Cabbage Chicken Salad which they're known for and it was delicious. The chicken was tender, and the cabbage was warm and al dente. Everyone's dishes were plated like a work of art. We ended our meal with raspberry sorbet and a warm chocolate brownie (everyone's favorite!)

Always solid and a good variety of options in their menu. They were busy and gave us two free appetizers because of our wait which was nice. Staff is always helpful and friendly. Food was very good as always, but the miso Sea bass was a bit sweet for my wife’s liking.

Town Steakhouse in San Carlos is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel right at home. The steaks are cooked to perfection tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. I highly recommend the ribeye or filet mignon, both of which were incredible. The sides are just as impressive the truffle fries and mac & cheese were the perfect complements to our meal. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and their wine selection is solid. Service was outstanding attentive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, making it perfect for a date night or special occasion. If you're in San Carlos and looking for a top-tier steakhouse, Town is the place to go. Can't wait to come back!

Wonderful food and service. Parking is a bit tough during peak dinner times. Can't go wrong with the surf and turf! There is outdoor seating with heaters and a private room upstairs for large groups/events

We came here for a double date to celebrate a late Valentine's dinner, and the experience did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is mid-sized with plenty of seating, giving off that classic upscale vibe you'd see in old-school movies. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent--starting with the hostess and our amazing server (whose name I, unfortunately, didn't catch). She had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing the entire time while also giving spot-on recommendations. One thing I have to mention--the garlic bread with crab on top is an absolute must. Our server recommended it as a popular dish, and now I completely understand why. We were so sad that we forgot to order some to go. Everyone enjoyed their meals, though I personally found my steak a little under-seasoned. That said, the overall experience was fantastic, and I can't wait to come back--especially for that incredible garlic bread.

After unfortunate experience at the restaurant next-door three of us had a pleasant experience at this charming spot in downtown San Carlos! The interior is cozy (slightly outdated), with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The heated patio is impressive - spacious, thoughtfully designed, and perfect for enjoying the fresh air while staying comfortable on the rainy, winter evening. The service was top-notch; the staff was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The appetizers were beautifully done, with great flavors and presentation. Shout out to beef tacos (mmmm), and brussels sprouts. I also loved the interesting cocktail selection - unique and flavorful. Highly recommend this place for a relaxed, enjoyable dining experience!

Town is a nice steakhouse restaurant in the middle of downtown San Carlos. The place is clean but slightly disorganized. The service is excellent and friendly. We were welcomed and seated within about 10 minutes. The food is actually really good. I really liked the ribeye with baked blue cheese. Even people that hate blue cheese enjoyed it. The prime rib was also really good.

tl;dr No reservations. Solid food reminiscent of Los Altos Grill. Reasonably priced with a great patio. Parking: Easy free street parking with a nearby covered parking garage. No reservations so would recommend avoiding busy times if you don't want to wait. They have solid lunch specials for $24, but their normal menu is also reasonably priced. Brussel sprouts (4/5): Well seasoned and the crispy croutons added a nice texture. Town Burger (4-5/5): Added blue cheese and cooked perfectly medium rare. Very satisfying burger and fries were also crispy. Would definitely get again. Prime rib sandwich (3-4/5$): Ordered medium rare, but closer to medium. It was fine, but nothing special. Would skip next time. Great patio seating perfect for people watching as it's on a car-free section.

Usually I am giving this restaurant a great review, but I have been beee the last 2 times and it has not been very good food. My friend and I shared the 70 dollar ribeye and it wasn't very good. Not a great flavor and the texture was not good. I had four bites and she took the rest of the ribeye home to her husband. We also had the Brussels sprouts. I thought they would be crispy, and instead they were such soiled with a sweet sauce and had 2 of them. Terrible. My friend ordered the black rice.. absolutely tasteless. The only thing that was good was the warm cabbage salad. And that was overly saturated with dressing. Not going back anytime soon. The Greek restaurant across the street from town is absolutely great and their meat is tender and has taste. Town used to be pretty good food.. it's going down hill.

Town used to be my favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, the food has not been that great the last two times I've been there. I ordered the meatloaf recently, and it was dry. The clam chowder barely had clams. Their bread pudding dessert is fantastic when it comes out fresh. Sometimes, it's hot and soft, but other times, it comes out dry and crumbly. The consistent dishes that I recommend are the creamy garlic bread and the teriyaki skirt steak. The garlic bread is the best garlic bread I've ever had. The garlic bread is creamy like it has cream cheese. It's so addicting! The teriyaki skirt steak is super flavorful, and the meat is tender. If you're undecided about what to order, the teriyaki skirt steak is always a hit when I recommend it to friends. The restaurant used to take reservations, but they no longer do that. Parking is difficult to find, but it's easier to find parking in the lot or garage behind the restaurant.

Since when this classy restaurant became a sports bar ?!?!?! *sign...... you can feel my disappointment. I guess a lot of things could happen over 10+ years since I last visited this place. This time we came for happy hour and we weren't too happy unfortunately. The overall food quality was just ok. The veggie tempura was a DISASTER!!!!!!! It's so bad we told our waiter. He said it's a new dish to them and they were trying it. The reality is that they need to try harder. He took it off the bill which was nice. The sea bass cubes (tostada) was dry. The only good dish was the sliders. Piping hot and fresh. I don't think I'm coming back.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Town in San Carlos, CA, for a birthday celebration with a group of nine. From start to finish, our experience was exceptional. The restaurant stood out for its fantastic service--attentive, friendly, and professional staff who went above and beyond to ensure our celebration was seamless. As for the food, every dish we ordered was delicious, but the ribeye truly stole the show. Cooked to perfection, it was tender, flavorful, and juicy--definitely a highlight of the evening. The Town do not take reservation and despite what they tell you, it can get busy even if you try to get there early so plan accordingly. Due to our party size, we had to be seated outside which was fine as they had heaters. Overall, Town exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience in the area.

Came to town for a ladies lunch, it was five of us. This is our go to place when we meet up for lunch, you can never go wrong. The menu has a huge variety that we can all pick something. I got the teriyaki skirt steak, I got it medium well. (I know I know) it was so juicy and well seasoned. I got fries instead of mashed potatoes. The blood orange margarita was so delicious and refreshing. Not strong at all. The best part was the desserts, we got a few different ones so we could all try them. We got the warm bread pudding with ice cream, this was everyone's favorite. The 6 layer chocolate cake was rich and a little too sweet. The brownie with ice cream was good, it's just a little sweet. The strawberry mason jar cheesecake was not as good, but it was a nice presentation. The service as always was good, we had water refilled before we asked for it.

Had a chance to visit Town after seeing the Christmas lights close by and it was a great experience. Town is very highly rated on yelp and i can see why - good food and the ambiance is also very nice. I felt the service was good as well, but they forgot to give my husband a fork even though we asked multiple times. The hubby had to get up and go to the bar to finally get it which was a little annoying and the reason I knocked off a star. However, from a food perspective we had a great time. We got: * Philly Cheesesteak spring rolls: these were gooey and crispy, full of deliciousness. It came with 6 pieces so everyone on the table was satisfied * truffle arancini: these were crispy and delicious. The truffle sauce on the bottom went really good with the fresh arugula on top * Ahi poke with crispy rice: this was crispy and fresh and I loved every bite of it. I would definitely order this again * Grilled salmon with brussel sprouts/Potatoes: the salmon was tender and flakey and I really enjoyed the veggies it came with. Overall enjoyed this but wish they gave a little more veggies *Bread pudding: this was REALLY good and the favorite dessert of the table. Warm and gooey, the sauce on top was delicious *Butter cake: I found the sauce on top to be a little too tart but otherwise the ice cream and cake went really well together! Overall, really good experience at the Town!

Been hearing about this place for a while. My sister frequents it. Had a great time, server Noie (spelling may not be correct) was awesome, friendly, helpful and attentive. Host staff/greeters were welcoming and assisted and seated us quickly. Food was good especially the bbq shrimp and the garlic bread (the best ever). I will certainly come back and I do recommend. We were outside by request, inside was nice. Go! You'll enjoy it. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. I have one lol

This was my first visit to Town. They don't take reservations, but I loved the cozy ambiance of the indoor seating. We ended up with an outdoor table, which worked out since the weather was beautiful. We started with the goat cheese bread--it was fluffy and delicious. For my main dish, I had the shaking beef. It came with filet mignon, jasmine rice, vegetables, and sauce. The flavors were good, but the dish was a bit too watery for my taste. I might come back to try other options on the menu.

Definitely a classic restaurant to dine at on the peninsula. I've been coming to Town for years now and the food is consistent good. I am very happy that this place survived the pandemic because it's the crowning jewel of the restaurant scene in downtown San Carlos. I highly recommend to make a reservation because this restaurant will be busy all day. I arrived a little early for my reservation so I was seated in their outdoor patio along the street. The booths outside were comfortable and well constructed and a nice option to have if you want to eat outside. The menu is extremely large and a bit overwhelming at first. The food on the menu is more on the traditional American side with a few twists. You can get a steak, a burger, or a salad here and they're all delicious. I've usually ordered a steak when I've dined here, but I wanted to change things up so I ordered the French dip sandwich this time. The au jus dipping sauce was not too salty, but I wish I was given more to dip my sandwich in. The beef was very tender and well seasoned. It was an good sandwich overall. The service was a little slow when I went but it could have been because I was sitting outdoors and the restaurant was at full capacity. I would definitely come back with my family as my parents would enjoy this type of traditional American food.

Service was prompt and friendly while ambience was very nice and cozy. Outdoor seatings were very warm . I love how the city closed this street and decorated with lights. It just felt relax there. I was not too crazy about the menu. Nothing caught my eyes right away. I ended up with meatloaf which was tasty and pomegranate martini was so great'

It is always a pleasure coming to Town. I went with a co-worker for some lunch. We had the power lunch. Our server, Scott was such a delight. Very kind and helpful. Very attentive too! We appreciate you Scott and we will definitely be coming back here again. Always love coming to town! Food and service is always fabulous and up to par!

This is a go to dinner/happy hour spot in San Carlos for my coworkers and I. No reservations but weekday happy hour we always find a table. All the apps are really good and I know most people order one of the steaks but since I'm not supper into steak I used to get the short ribs when they had it and recently got their roast chicken which was really good. I preferred that to the meatloaf I got a different time. I got the baked potato and creamed spinich as sides and really liked those too. We also always order the bread pudding for dessert, so good.

I've eaten at Town a lot of times but never for brunch so this is a BRUNCH review. We stopped here after a long dog hike with our fur baby. We had outdoor seating, a must with the furby. They offered all of us water, including our pup- love. They also have a doggie menu, so I was pretty sold right away and spent more time reviewing that than the human menu, LOL. I ordered the Chilaquiles and my husband got the Loco Moco. I ate half of mine and he ate the rest. I thought mine was delic and he agreed! They were both great though and he said he would order again- 5 stars. We also ordered coffee and for some reason even though it was just plain coffee it was soooo good. The service was amazing definitely 5 stars. I would definitely go here for brunch again.

Town has done it again. Came here for the bread pudding and left incredibly happy. If you haven't tried TownMa bread pudding yet, you're missing out! One portion is quite large and can be shared. But once you have your first bite, you'll wish you got your own. Because I know how good it is, I got my own. I was super full, but it was worth it.

Where do I even begin? This place might be fine for drinks and appetizers, but our experience during my sister's birthday dinner was disappointing. The entire meal took three hours, and they were clearly overwhelmed and understaffed. The appetizers arrived before our drinks, and it was another 45 minutes before our main courses came out. One of us ordered a medium-rare steak, but it was overcooked and inedible. Our server was fantastic and apologized, assuring us that a replacement wouldn't take another 45 minutes--and to their credit, they delivered a new steak within 20 minutes. While they did make an effort to fix things, the overall experience wasn't great. With so many other dining options available, I don't think we'll be returning for a full meal here anytime soon.

Came here for dinner and Sunday Night Football. The inside has multiple TVs that were showing football, American football and basketball. We initially sat at the bar while we waited for a table. To drink I had the Oputia--absolutely delicious. as an appetizer, my partner and I shared the Philly cheesesteak spring rolls. They were yummy. We were then moved to a table with perfect view of the football game. To eat, I had the Wagyu ribeye (medium rare) with fries and a side Caesar salad. The salad was slightly disappointing, the fries were super crispy and hot. I asked for truffle butter which was a perfect touch to the steak. Steak was good. Didn't blow my mind but tasty. This whole meal was filling. My partner had the bone-in ribeye steak and was super tasty as well (probably a bit more so imo than the Wagyu ribeye). His side broccoli was okay. Anyway, great spot

Came here with a group of 7 for a company holiday luncheon on this past Tuesday at 11:45. The place was already jumping but we got seated quickly. It was tight in the booth but it was too cold outside for a larger table. Staff were spot on and attentive. Food was fabulous, bought three appetizers, they came out quickly and we were not rushed with entrees arriving at the table. Food was very tasty. I had the baseball Filet Steak cooked perfectly but just a little over seasoned with salt for me. I'm salt sensitive. Others would probably say it was 5/5. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant

Town is a solid choice for dinner, though be prepared for a wait since they don't take reservations--we waited almost an hour on a busy Saturday evening. The meal started strong with the ahi tuna poke & crispy rice appetizer, which was a great way to kick things off. The baseball cut filet mignon was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the Chilean seabass was equally delicious. The ambiance has a casual vibe with a moderate noise level, making it lively but comfortable. Service was good, with friendly and courteous staff ensuring a pleasant experience. Free parking in the business plaza is a nice bonus. While the wait was longer than we'd like, the flavorful dishes and attentive service made it worth the visit!

I thought this place was going to be one of those expensive because its steak and how it looks in here but I was wrong! The prices are well...you're at a steakhouse in San Mateo lol. I got the Teriyaki Skirt steak and the steak was cooked perfectly well where it literally cut like butter. The skirt steak was wrapping my pile of mash potatoes and it was fantastic. I had the Daou Reserve to wash it down and god damn $20 a glass but it was good I guess. I just got it because it was work comped hahaha. I would like to come back considering I haven't found a good/nice steakspot in the Bay. They're always over priced for like....whatever because its a status thing and I hate that. Oh! Try the Philly Cheesteak egg rolls! The service was on point too! No complaints there. I would like to come back for a special occasion to actually try the steaks to see if the $80 steaks/filet mignon are even worth it. Oh the ambiance is a nicely lit wooden interior/bar lookin' restaurant. With like mahogany booths and what not. I like how its actually lit in here like a BJ's or Applebees lighting. Not that is bad but other steakhouses I been to are HELLA dark like wtf lmao. Tryna hide something on the food?? lol

Was craving the warm cabbage salad on a chilly day. Picked up my to go order - dressing and salad packed separately. Appreciated all the dressing they packed up. Good salad, but maybe a bit more vinegar-y than expected. Only complaint - utensils were missing in my order.

Came back for a work lunch and grabbed a table on their outdoor patio. Looking at the menu, the power lunch for $24 gives you a choice of a starter and entree from a select menu. I went with the wedge salad and half salmon BLT with a side of fries. From a value perspective the wedge salad is way more food than if you got the ahi roll which comes with 4 pieces. The salad was absolutely delicious with the dressing, blue cheese crumbles and bacon. The salmon blt was tasty, salmon cooked perfect and honestly a great lunch that didn't feel too full but enough to feel satisfied. Overall, still a place I enjoy going to and not bad lunch spot for all types of occasions and crowds

Second time dining at town. FYI prime rib available on weekends only. Luckily, the teriyaki skirt steak was very tender and tasty. Again, had a loaded baked potato--couldn't resist. I swear the potato was smiling at me (see updated photo). Wedge salad was solid and could be shared. Still prefer the relaxed outdoor seating during the summer. However, the indoor bar area is cool and inviting.

Came here right at opening for lunch and had a fantastic time! I love their patio space - it's shaded, spacious, and it was beautiful weather to enjoy dining outside. Service was incredibly friendly and warm! Our server was attentive, never made us feel rushed, and happily helped us when we asked him to take a picture for us. I got the New Orleans BBQ Shrimp and it was amazing, wow. It is an appetizer that I ate as an entree, so don't expect a massive plate, but if you're not too hungry, this is what you should get. Saucy, creamy, and flavorful! The sourdough bread is so good but then you soak it in the sauce and it's just *chefs kiss* Not too spicy and the shrimps are already peeled for you! Huge points there because I wasn't really in the mood to get my hands all saucy but they're already thinking a step ahead. I usually pick out tomatoes but everything was so good that I happily ate those too. I loved that it didn't have the usual watery taste that tomatoes carry. There's street parking around and also a free garage within a couple minutes walking distance to Town. There was a short line right at opening so you know this seems to be a local favorite!

Town has been on the list for a while and finally got a chance to try it recently. San Carlos is a good location if you are trying to meet someone midway between SF and the South Bay. This was packed for lunch during the week and is quite a big location and that says something. Service was adequate and the food was above average. It's a 3.5 rounding up to 4. My favorite (not my heart's) was the rich gooey garlic bread and the poke bowl was good too.

Great food! Great bar! Great service! 5+ star prime rib!!! I'm a sucker for great prime rib but hate mediocre prime rib. Town's prime rib hits!!! Really really really good. I think it's only served Friday (maybe all weekend) but it is definitely something to make a trip for. Incredible crust. Perfectly rare. Tender delicious goodness. It comes with 2 sides and the loaded baked potato is awesome!! 5 stars.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. The weather was so nice, so we sat outside. It had a great ambiance. It didn't feel or look dirty as some outdoor seating areas may have. My friend and I both ordered the Dungeness Crab Benedict. It was so good! They used real crab and were generous with the amount of crab. The egg was cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were delicious as well! Everything was definitely filling! My friend highly recommended to get the bread pudding for dessert, so we did! It was soooo yummy! The maple-brandy sauce and the creme anglaise were so good! We also both got two different watermelon drinks, and they were so refreshing! Service was great as well! Everyone was so helpful and polite! I would definitely come back!

I come here almost every year for my birthday! It helps they give you a $25 coupon as well as free dessert. This is my favorite steakhouse in the peninsula and they live up to that every time I come. It is very consistent and you can tell they do their job well based on the number of customers that fill the restaurant every day!

I've walked by Town several times and noted how packed it was even on weekdays! So I wanted to try it out! My husband and I went for dinner on a Monday. The service is great. Their menu is quite big but sadly lacks vegetarian options for the main course. It only has 1 pasta in the mains section, so if you dont want pasta, you have to make do with appetizers/sides. Many of the sides are vegetarian, but it's sort of weird to order a couple of appetizers or sides as your dinner when the people you're with are ordering steak or salmon. And a salad as your main course is just not satisfying for a lot of people, including me. I got the vegetable roll (sushi) and a side of roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Both were great, especially the sushi roll, which had delicious sauces and a nice crunch! But the quantity was insufficient for me even though I have a pretty small appetite. So I probably could have ordered another side (if I had known the portion sizes).

What a delicious takeout experience we had at Town today! We are very fortunate to live close to so many good restaurants and sometimes we take that for granted but I always want to sing the praises of local restaurants! We ordered many things off the menu and every single one was delicious. We had the crab garlic bread, which I think is seasonal, which was amazing! Hamburger and fries that the guys loved. I adored the Super Bowl it was so yummy. The pasta was ok nothing special. The potato croquettes were so good. Little Gem salad was very fresh. I didn't have the shrimp but it looks delicious. The garlic green beans were so good. I would highly recommend this place if you want delicious food!

I've always wanted to try this upscale restaurant in Downtown San Carlos but just never got to it. That is until last week. A friend and I spontaneously decided to treat ourselves and boy am I sure glad we came here. It's been a while since I've ordered a restaurant steak preferring to buy and grill my own as of late. But with minimal convincing by my friend, I ordered the ribeye with the blue cheese crust. Oh. My. God. The steak itself was thick, juicy and tender. Cooked perfectly medium rare and easily excellent as a standalone. But with the rich blue cheese crust? That was extra special. Can't wait to find an excuse to come back and do it all over again.

Town's menu offers ample options for both indoor & outdoor dining. Their downtown location makes parking a breeze, perfect for a stroll before or after your meal. While a bit noisy, the upscale ambiance is charming, though a 20-minute wait is common. The food is the star here, with mains, drinks, and sides delivering bold flavors and creative combinations, though some dishes can be a bit too greasy and drinks overly sweet. Service is decent, but could be more attentive (initial cup was not clean)

Food and service was very good. Seating could have been better but the place is usually packed for dinner time.

Town is an awesome San Carlos staple. With a robust menu and ample indoor and outdoor seating...this restaurant has something for everyone. My friends and I shared an array of appetizers and desserts...Town has generous portions so we all definitely left stuffed Standouts were their chicken sliders, crispy rice with ahi tuna and you definitely need to get the 7 layer chocolate cake. We mixed it with a bit of the berry sauce from the butter cake dessert and it made the perfect bite Located in downtown San Carlos made parking super easy and a nice spot to walk around if you come by earlier in the day.

Went here for an early dinner on a Saturday. Didn't have a reservation but we were able to get a table right away. Really like the comfy booths they have. Interior is nice, they also have a large bar area where folks can watch a game. We ordered some soft drinks, the ahi poke bowl and the skirt steak salad. Food came after a short wait and it was great. The salad tasted really fresh and the skirt steak was nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. There is a ton of variety in the salad and was a good choice on a very hot day. The poke bowl was also good. Lots of sashimi, nice sauce and creamy avocado. Overall a great meal and would try again. A bit on the pricey side but was worth it.

Came back with 2 girlfriends for brunch and the food was super delicious. We shared a few dishes and really enjoyed our time catching up! We were sat at a cozy booth in the back. We shared the cheesy garlic bread, San Carlos joes scramble, millennial breakfast, and balsamic farm eggs. All were super yummy and were pretty filling.

3.5 stars for a decent brunch with wonderful service, mostly good food, and pleasing atmosphere. First thing first, our service was exceptional. Our waiter was extremely friendly, attentive, and to the point. Have nothing but praises. The rest of the experience, however, was less than stellar. The food was a hit and miss. Some dishes were pleasantly surprising but others were extremely mediocre. There wasn't anything really bad but nothing outstanding either. For example, the garlic bread was good but the benedict was just ok; the rest was more of the same. The place has been around forever so it's a bit of a staple for San Carlos; that also means the atmosphere is nice and has a steakhouse feel but it's also a bit outdated. I wouldn't discourage anyone from coming but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this place either. Because of the amazing service, I'm rounding up.

Love the vibes. My favorite orders are the super roll, California, and the Philly rolls. Their fries are also great. Be sure to come at a non busy time or be expected to wait a bit for a table. Staff are very friendly.

This is a great old place known for their steaks. Food is really good of course if you are in the mood for this type of food. The service was really good. The Ambiance was a bit loud but another time we went they sat us in the back which it was really good since I prefer a relaxed quiet environment. I love how they provided a MENU with a tittle HAPPY_BIRTHDAY if you call & make reservations & let them know about your visit. I took my mother_in_love for her birthday & she just loved the whole thing about how a restaurant would take the time to print a special menu. Keep up the good work TOWN Team!!!

I haven't been to Town for dinner in a while. I had dinner there with a few friends on Monday night and I was shocked at how busy they are! We grabbed a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. Before the bartender could make our drinks, our table is ready! We had BBQ shrimps as appetizer - 5/5. I ordered the poke bowl which is the perfect serving size for me. I love all the veggies and sashimi. I'll ask them to put the sauce on the side next time. I think I will like it even more if the sauce is cut in half. Both of my friends like their entrees. I had a cocktail named Honor Roll - 5/5!! Didn't know I like kiwi in a cocktail. ;)

Matt B. and I went for an after-dinner walk in San Carlos a few weeks back, and Town was by far the most happening place on Laurel at 9:30 on a Friday night. It looked vaguely familiar, but I figured it just looked like any number of spots in cute neighborhood downtowns up and down California. We walked in for a drink and sat on the patio, which was airy and pleasantly bustling. Service was friendly, and we enjoyed our visit. It was only once we sat down that I realized we'd been there before, per my Yelp review in 2013. That was a brunch visit, and I had a great experience. I was less charmed this time around. Town felt like the kind of small town restaurant that fills so many roles it can't possibly do them all well. The menu was enormous and all over the place. Bowls and burgers, meatloaf and enchiladas; dedicated sections for both sushi and steak. We were just there for a nightcap, and the cocktail list felt decidedly suburban, heavy on sweet drinks with tons of ingredients. Matt got a beer, the Hoptinez IPA, and I had the barrel-aged Manhattan. It is honestly hard to screw up a Manhattan, but this one was pretty bad, made with Dickel 12 whisky, Cinzano sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica vermouth, Punt e Mes, Angostura bitters, and Amarena cherries. I don't know if it was the whisky or the unnecessary layering of vermouths or what, but this tasted harsh and medicinal. Drink aside, though, this was a nice enough stop, and I did apparently like my brunch over a decade ago. We also realized while we were there that a friend had just recommended this place as a meeting spot for the following day (though we'd already decided to go elsewhere). If you're hanging out near San Carlos, all roads kind of lead to Town.

The atmosphere is super clean and lively! The staff are helpful and patient when ordering while also giving good recommendations. Our dinner was delicious! The salmon tasted fresh and not too fishy. The enchiladas had a great taste to them and were super filling. The watermelon Paloma was a little too strong for me but it was still good. The Southern Charm desert was phenomenal! All the flavors mixed so well together. The raspberry sorbet was slightly tart but so good!!!

My 1st review of 2024, and it goes to Town! I've had Town twice in the past- once via takeout and the 2nd time was during brunch there. My sister and I want to Town for dinner this past Sunday night. We joined the waitlist and was informed of a 15mins wait. Within 7 minutes, I get a text saying that my table was ready. That was fast! We ordered the Steak Diane, NY Steak Tacos, Chicken Enchilada, a side of fries, Bread Pudding, and Sundae. Everything was delicious! Our top favorites were the Bread Pudding, Tacos, and Sundae. That Bread Pudding is bomb.com! Also, it was my sister's first time trying bread pudding, and she loved it! The service was attentive and friendly. The place has a very nice ambiance. I would definitely return again and again. :)

Came for the first time on a Tuesday night; dinner turned out great. 5/5 from us! My dad was pleased that they happily cooked his steak well-done without it being dry/burnt. (He didn't feel judged ) For sides we got the baked potato, French fries, garlic shrimp, and wedge salad; all were good. Both desserts were good: bread pudding and southern charm cake Additionally the severs /wait staff were very nice! Looking forward to returning. Music was a little loud but it's not that important.
