I'm not a big beer drinker as opposed to my niece and friends, but I do like the blackberry parfait fruited sour ale. It's not really sour. Especially in comparison to the aloha vibes sour. I also tried the froze which has peach puree I believe l. It wasn't too bad either. The one day we were there, there happens to be a smash burger vendor and they were very well done. So if you go and they are there, worth a try. There was actually a bunch of ceramic vendors set up along the side as well. Not sure if it was part of the breweries doing, but it was a nice to go take a stroll over and go peek at the goods. Everyone we've encountered here had always been friendly, nothing but good vibes.

We came to celebrate my brother's birthday, the first of three planned stops. When we went (a few…read moreweeks ago) the kitchen was closed so hummus and snacks were the food options, we did not try them. Great location and had high hopes for my first time here. Server did not really seem to want me to order at the bar instead of through the QR app. I ordered two flights and two single drinks for our party of four and one of the flights was not correct when brought to our table. Regardless we drank through the flights, enjoying the nice weather that day. Went up and purchased a mix and match four-pack on the way out, tipped well despite the so so service. Made our next stops and when we got home later was really disappointed to see the beers I brought home were not the ones I asked for. I know, my bad for not checking before I left, but I was left with the feeling that there was no attention to detail regarding the service we received that day. Two stars because we enjoyed most of the beers we did try.

Being from Vienna, Austria, it was absolutely unbelievable to us what was served to us as…read moreschnitzel. I have never seen schnitzel looking like this anywhere in Austria or Germany. I recommend the cook to just look up how schnitzel should look like and learn how to make it. Breading texture was off as you can see in the photo: Classic schnitzel (especially Wiener schnitzel) should have: * An even, golden-brown color * A puffy, airy, slightly bubbly crust Ours looked: * Patchy * Flat * Dark in spots and pale in others That usually means: * Oil wasn't hot enough * Not enough oil (schnitzel needs to "swim" a bit) * Breading wasn't properly fluffed (crumbs pressed too hard) I can't believe we paid for the worst schnitzel we've ever had a higher price than the best schnitzels we have eaten in best restaurants in Austria or Germany.

Mortar & Pestle is such a hidden gem in downtown San Mateo, tucked behind Curry Up Now (go through…read morethe alley, it's worth finding). The Indian-inspired cocktails are always a hit, but this last visit was next level thanks to our bartender, Lee. We stopped in just to catch a vibe and ended up staying way longer than planned because every drink he made was better than the last. He really worked his magic behind the bar. I've been here quite a few times, and while the service hasn't always stood out, Lee completely changed that. He was welcoming, personable, and made the entire experience memorable. We came too late for the kitchen this time, but the food has always been great on past visits. Lee is the reason I finally felt compelled to leave a 5-star review. We'll definitely be back!

It's 9pm and I'm just walking down Laurel Street, which by the way has some REALLY good spots, they really do, and then. THEN. I hear it. Pianos. Two of them. Are they fighting?? No wait, they're DUELING. Two guys absolutely going at it on the keys, taking requests, and the crowd is just vibing. I mean really vibing. The cocktails are flowing, people are singing, and somewhere in the back of my head a little voice says "this is going to be a late night." I did not listen to that voice. No regrets. The whiskey selection is, and I say this with complete authority and only slightly blurry vision, "surprisingly incredible". The cocktails are also dialed in, they've got concoctions on the menu that you may have never heard of, or just pick the vibe you're going for and trust the process. I trusted the process. Multiple times. I used to go to Savannah Jazz back in the day. RIP, still not over it, but honestly?? This place might actually be BETTER. I said what I said. The music hits different when it's right in the middle of the whole room instead of tucked in the back somewhere. Oh and there's an outdoor area too for when you need some of that cool peninsula night air to... recalibrate. I used it. It helped. Briefly.

I'm a simple man: beer and a burger usually does the trick. Cask always delivers. I normally go with the sliders (can't miss), but today I told my wife that if the fish & chips were good enough, it might be Yelp-worthy. Well... here we are. Perfect portion, delicious food, and once again the friendly service matched the quality on the plate. Cask gets my vote every time--mine and my 5-year-old's.
