A new fan favorite. Nice chill atmosphere with additional patio seating. The food is very good for lunch but must return and try them for dinner the next time. I had the fish and my wife had the chicken parmesan, both excellently prepared. Service was paced nicely and was friendly. With all the good restaurants within the area, Stamp holds it own and offers a different dining experience. read more

My husband and I decided to try Stamp Bar & Grill for dinner and were really impressed. The service was great from start to finish. The host was friendly when we arrived, and our waiter was excellent. He was personable, knowledgeable, and gave some really solid recommendations. He suggested the Belle Glos Pinot Noir and the seafood stew, and both ended up being fantastic choices. The seafood stew was hands down my favorite part of the meal. It was loaded with shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, salmon, and a half lobster tail. The seafood was fresh, the portion was generous, and the broth was absolutely incredible. I found myself wanting to soak up every last drop. My husband ordered the ribeye, and after stealing a few bites, I can see why he loved it. It was cooked perfectly and topped with a compound butter that added so much flavor. Between the steak, baked potato, and asparagus, it was a really well executed dish. The food, service, and atmosphere all came together for a great dining experience. It's not often that both of us leave a restaurant talking about how much we enjoyed our meals, but that was definitely the case here. We'll absolutely be back. read more

I had been told by 2 people to try this place. Boy am I glad I did. First, the service was outstanding. Our server listened to us with minor changes we made and was very attentive. We sat outside on their beautiful patio. Here what we ordered: Calamari - delicious. Just the right amount of batter and I loved that it had zucchini, jalapeños and asparagus. A + French dip - very very good and what I was told to go for. The au jus was to die for. Bread was perfect for the amount of beef and cheese. A+ Garlic cheese bread - OMG!!! We asked for light garlic and they delivered. Huge portion. I think this was my favorite of what we ordered. A+++++++ Caesar salad with prawns - very good. The prawns were cooked to perfection. Salad dressing was delicious. A+ We also ordered cocktails which were also delicious! Highly recommend eating here. read more

Stamp Restaurant delivers on all fronts -- excellent food, attentive service, and a warm, inviting ambiance. The menu is well thought out, the flavors are on point, and everything we ordered was fresh and well executed. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a relaxed dinner as it does for a lively night out. Bonus: it's also a great spot to watch sports, with two large screen TVs that don't overpower the dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

This was my second time at Stamp Bar & Grill, and I still love it! The service and food were both amazing. We received such a warm welcome, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive.

I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back again. read more

Stamp Bar & Grill - beautiful atmosphere - New American Near Me - San Carlos, California

This is not a $$ restaurant. $50 steak, $30 burger, $20 salad then add protein becomes over $30. We went there because $$ is what we can afford. We went down the street to the Mexican place which is also $$ and a far cry from Stamp. Next door to Stamp is also listed as $$. An Italian place. No way that's actually $$. We left without ordering, a bit embarrassed. read more

Absolutely killer fettuccine Alfredo!! Home made pasta, good lively atmosphere, great drinks.

Service was fine and we were seated quickly, but my biggest issue was that they served us frozen veggies (peas, corn, and carrots) with our lamb shank that was very fatty. Manager tried to tell me that they get all their veggies fresh but I can tell when veggies come from a frozen package, especially when the carrots are cut in perfectly tiny squares. Everyone knows the frozen veggies I'm talking about that you get from the grocery store. Safe to say I won't be coming back ever again. Thankfully there's lots of other amazing options nearby. read more

The ambience here is beautiful and everything is sleek and beautiful. However the staff seem very uncomfortable and skiddish and our waiters kept changing. It was quite strange. The new york strip was amazing however the ribeye is a bit stringy and came out overdone. Also the addition for prawns was 14 dollars but the prawns were more akin to 4 small shrimps rather than prawns. Overall, it's not a bad place just items are kind of hit or miss. Edit: After leaving this review, when we were in the process of paying one of the people came up to us questioning our review and was being pretty pushy and confrontational about it. that was not very pleasant... read more

Not enough words to express the amazing service shown by the staff. Edwin in particular was so attentive and ensured we had everything at all times. He had amazing food suggestions too! DO NOT SKIP ON THOSE SPRING ROLLS THEY WERE THE BEST THING IVE EVER EATEN! I also ordered their filet mignon special and lemme tell you. Did not even need a steak knife with how soft and buttery that meat was. 10/10 experience at this beautiful restaurant. Will be back again! read more

I've walked by so many times and wondered about this place since it has pretty good reviews (4.4 stars, 489 reviews), but part of me was skeptical. Maybe it was the name, maybe it was the vibe. I feel like this is maybe more like 3.8? Me giving them 4 stars probably doesn't help, but the stars aren't a science and reviews are all subjective anyway. My personal take is 4 stars for service and 3.5 stars for food at the price - service was fast, friendly and attentive, but you're not getting bang for your buck. I really appreciated them fixing the overcooked steak for someone at our table, and they let us keep the overcooked steak. The person who ordered it preferred the medium rare as they ordered it, and didn't eat the overcooked one, but I tried both and I can see why they cooked it medium - the cut doesn't lend itself to a medium rare prep, too chewy at that level. A few of us tried and preferred the medium. That said, I suppose beware it may not be cooked to order and also maybe you don't want it cooked to medium rare necessarily. It's not a steakhouse. Their $20 prix fixe lunch menu is a nice light option (light in serving size and also on the wallet). Got two ribs for the ribs dish. Bolognese was a bit watery. There was a good chance the folks at our table that ordered prix fixe would've gone hungry without the extra steak at our table. The filet mignon stroganoff was not bad - the pasta part was decent, sauce was as expected for ordering stroganoff at a bar and grill. The beef wasn't tough to chew. I'd prefer less protein and more pasta for a lower price, bc for $30ish bucks, I started to think about how I'd rather spend the same amount for the pasta from a recent visit to Be.Steak.A, even though it is smaller in portion there. Extended and immediate family have an affinity for Chili's (yes, the chain) so I find myself there time to time. And honestly this was on par with my recent Chili's experience food wise. That makes me feel like this spot was not worth the menu price. read more

Stamp is our go to spot in San Carlos. Consistently good food. Great people. Always adding new items as a twist to their menu. Tonight we tried their seasonal watermelon salad. I was a little leery of the combination of the watermelon, roasted peppers, feta, tomatoes and olives. All I can say is Wow! It was delicious! read more

Went here last night with friends for dinner. We wanted to try a new place and I had heard good things. Restaurant is very pretty inside. It's not too loud and it had the sports stuff on TVs but it's not annoying. Service was excellent. Apologies as I don't remember his name but he took great care of us. Our food came out fast too! Food was delish. I had the salmon burger. It was moist and tender. Hubby had the rib sando and loved it. Our friends had the French dip and the tacos. Everyone was happy. For dessert we shared the churros- delicious and served with chocolate and caramel sauce. They have a great outdoor area too that we will try when the weather gets better. We will definitely be back - thank you Stamp for a great evening! read more

First time trying Stamp and I'm very impressed! Nice, welcoming bar and grill nestled in the heart of Laurel Street. I heard great things about the food and service, and fellow Yelpers brag on about Stamp, so I broke down and gave them a try this evening. By far, the BEST rib eye on Laurel Street! My order was to go, arrived swiftly during Saturday dinner rush and was packed thoughtfully. The rib eye is accompanied by some tasty scalloped potatoes and a green veggie, I had sautéed green beans. The rib eye was grilled to a perfect medium then basted in butter and thyme, I nearly did a few back flips over this one! Seriously nice quality and flavorful, great cut. Folks here did right by this entree. Strongly recommend for steak lovers. Pricing is spot on for their menu and they have lots to offer varying tastes. I believe parts of their menu is seasonal. Everything was made with care and love of their profession, thank you! Definitely will return and dine inside next time. Please give Stamp a try, you will not be disappointed. Cheers! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a private engagement of a friend's retirement party. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves. There was about 40 of us altogether. Service was very good. They were courteous and attentive. Place was clean and well decorated. Food was appealing to the eye and delighted our tongue. It appeared that everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I Recommend and plan to return on our own when there is not a private party. read more

I've only been in there twice. I came back the second time to try the food again .I have to say the first time that I went in there I felt very uncomfortable with the really tall owner there and the second time I got the same weird negative energy from him really negative very unwelcoming almost like he was trying to intimidate me, but I'm not intimidated very easily and when I get off work and I've had a long day, I just want to have a nice dinner and have some peace and I wasn't able to do that there and I didn't notice him throwing that negative energy to anybody else in the building and I never spoke with him the dirty looks and the hard stares with this guy , made no sense and I'm not confused about what was going on with him . I I've eaten on laurel Street for years. I go to town all the time. I've never had a problem in any of the Restaurants is San Carlos ever. I used to wait tables when I go out to eat and my friends go out to eat and we receive any negative or rude service from owners waiters we don't complain. We just get up and leave. We don't argue. We don't do any back-and-forth because we don't have time for that garbage. read more

I gave a 4 star last time I was here for lunch but had to downgrade to a 3 when came back here for dinner. First, the drinks weren't as good. I had an old fashion, watermelon Moscow Mule and a passion fruit hurricane. The Moscow Mule tasted like cough syrup and it wasn't fresh watermelon puree. The old fashion didn't have much bitter. Onto the food, the truffle gnocchi was good, infused with sage but trenched in butter. The filet mignon pasta was creamy and delicious. The ox tail stew was meh, lots of fat in the ox tail. Lastly, free dessert when checking in through yelp. read more

This is the place for lunch. Hands down a great deal. You get to choose your entree, salad, and it comes with dessert for less than $25! We got the calamari just to snack on because we were unsure about the portions here. The portions were not kiddie sized, which is my normal complaint. These are adult sized entrees! I got the piccata, and my coworkers got the shrimp pasta, and we both liked our dishes. Comes with the Gelato of your choice. The salad was also fresh and good. If you're in this area during lunchtime and looking for good food at bargain prices...here it is! read more

We came here after a long time and so glad we came! We shared the gnocchi and it was rich but very tasty. Other dishes people had were- the grilled chicken sandwich (delicious!), the salmon (delicious!), the super food salad with salmon (delicious!), the impossible burger (delicious!), and the Mac and cheese (delicious!). The tuna poke was meh- needed more flavor or something? The hot brownie dessert was generously portioned, decadent and yummy, as was the flourless chocolate cake (basically a wedge of ganache or something!). The servers were all very nice and I think the owner checked in on us, which was very sweet. It has a pleasant indoor and outdoor space. read more

I always love coming here. Customer service is great and the food is amazing! I would highly recommend coming here!

The service was ok, not good because the waiter(s) forgot my wife's steak in her salad, and when my daughter ordered pasta with meatballs, the waiter(s) also forgot that too, and the meatballs kinda tasted a little funky (I tried it too) because it doesn't have any flavor and it was hard the chew for me. But, I like the food a lot, and the waiter(s) were really nice, and we left with a full tummy, so it wasn't that bad, but still a few things too improve. read more

Highly recommended. I was in nearby Redwood City and was looking for a restaurant in which to chill out, have a bite to eat, and wait for the traffic to die down before I went back home to Santa Clara. I found my way down to Laurel Street in San Carlos where I've been before and I knew there was a lot of good restaurants down here. I walked up and down the street and picked Stamp Bar and Grill has it looked like the sort of place I was looking to spend time in. I had one of their own special cocktails, which was some kind of tequila and fruit thing and it was delightful. Keeping it simple for dinner I ordered the French dip with fries and it was very good. But best of all the ambience and the service here is top-notch, which is a little surprising considering that the prices are very reasonable. I would come back again anytime when I'm in the area. read more

This was honestly one of the worst food experiences I've had in San Carlos. It didn't feel like a proper restaurant at all more like a disorganized food stall inside a flea market. The food was greasy, flavorless, and seemed like it had been sitting around for hours. Nothing tasted fresh, and the presentation was just as bad. Definitely not worth the money. I would not come back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

I haven't been to San Carlos for a few years, the section of the Laurel Street where the restaurant is located is blocked on a Saturday night, so you need to find parking somewhere else, and we find parking close by. The menu has many choices and we are a group of 6, we ordered the following items: Fried Calamari - tastes ok it has fried lemon as well ! Ahi Tuna Poke - it comes with some chips and tastes pretty good, will re-order Fresh Linguini & Clams - tastes great, will re-order Beet & Goat Cheese Ravioli - tastes good too, but I am not a big fan of ravioli Seafood Paella - everyone loves this dish, it has good amount of seafood and portion is good too, will definitely re-order Mango Creme Brulee - tastes very good and unique, will definitely re-order too Key Lime cheesecake - I am not a big fan of cheesecake, but this one tastes good too IMO, everything is presented well and tastes good, I don't find anything in our order below average. I will definitely come back for future gatherings. Also, pricewise is pretty reasonable compare to other restaurants in the bay area, they only charge 18% gratuity for more than 8, and there is no additional employee health surcharge (which is becoming common outside SF nowadays) added to the bill. We had a very good time and nobody rushes us to leave. I highly recommend this restaurant especially for group gatherings. read more
