I got the Scramble. I think it was nice that it had a lot of things but I felt like they definitely overlooked the eggs. Parts of it were randomly burnt. I suspect that had the eggs not been overlooked my food experience would have increased. I came here for a Saturday brunch and the place does have a nice ambiance. Do note that it is hard to find parking here though. read more

Delish, American-style fare with tons of various options for just about everyone. You've been warned, this place does get fairly packed during peak hours. I came here on a Friday at 6pm but only had to wait 25 minutes which wasn't bad at all. There are some shops and restaurants around so if you want to peruse, the restaurant will send you a text once your table is ready. My friends and I split the cheesy garlic bread which was pretty good! I liked that the bread wasn't overly crusty to the point of it being hard. However it was slightly overpriced for only four pieces of bread... but inflation - amirite? I ended up ordering the Blackened Salmon BLT for my entree. The salmon was smoky, juicy, and packed with so much flavor. Honestly, I should've just requested no bacon since I barely touched it. As for the chipotle aioli, it was *chefs kiss.* Sadly, there was no room for dessert but the bread pudding looked SUPER appetizing so this calls for another outing here. The service was on point and I love that we have our own carafe of water which makes it so much easier on the servers to cover the vast square footage of customers eating both inside and outside the restaurant. As for parking, the entire street is blocked off so you can find residential parking and a parking lot in the back (however, it gets full quick). Until next time, bread pudding! read more

Fast service and food came out quickly. Came on a Thursday night with my dad and had a wonderful meal at the bar. Food was perfectly cooked. We shared a salad, soup, and sea bass and were slightly struggling to finish everything towards the end. Saw the chefs hustling anytime an order came in. Place was busy, but we were well taken care of and the waiter got all of our special requests done without having to ask twice -- like plates for sharing and cheese on the side for the salad. read more

This is a must-try American Foods restaurant during COVID. It has a great holiday atmosphere, good service, and delicious food of course. We were thinking to have weekend brunch here but too late to be there, so we got lunch and it was super great. Ordered BONE-IN RIBEYE STEAK & BAKED POTATO & FRENCH FRIES, the quality of beef is amazing, the baked potato just reminded me of my past life in the South, and the fries too！ Also had the super bowl with the chicken cause of the reduced fat period. The portion is large, chicken is out of expectation. Love the combination. Had bread pudding to go, as we were so full. My boyfriend said the bread pudding was super great (he is not that addicted to sweet foods), his comments made me want to try the bread pudding too! More on ins: eatwithsirui read more

Come here when ever we have something to celebrate but don't want to break the bank. Average price is about 35-50 per plate, but you won't regret it. The steaks are amazing. Our favorite is the teriyaki skirt steak. So much flavor!!! Oh and the pomegranate martini... Perfect! Service and staff are always friendly also which is a plus. read more

TOWN - New York Steak and Teriyaki Skirt Steak. - Steakhouses Near Me - San Carlos, California

The food never ever disappoints The entire staff is amazing!!! Cocktails are also the best ever!

Went here for a business dinner. Food was good if not excellent. I went with a skirt steak with a teriyaki glaze Though the meat was nice and tender I don't think it needs such a glaze. The steak should be able to stand on its own. Other dishes included a califfornia roll which was good if not spectacular. Salad was basic and totally fine. Had some beer and wine they have a nice selection from California as you migHt expect. Colleague got fries which were not very hot and not salty. This is something that should be fixed. PAtio is outside and offers a pleasant place to eat and drink. Service was nice I really liked oUr waitress she had a nice demeanor. Bottom line it is good but noT great/spectacular. read more

A staple in San Carlos. They always have great food and great ambience. We've been going here for years and service, food and ambience are always a hit! My team at work occasionally also holds team luncheons here too. I honestly don't know anyone on the Peninsula who doesn't love this place. read more

My friends made reservations for my birthday here on a Sunday morning. Who knew how necessary reservations are here! And for good reason. I've had lunch here so I was so excited to go back. We shared the deviled eggs, avocado toast, and Philly cheesesteak spring rolls. The deviled eggs were topped with a fried slice of jalapeño. I did like how delicate the flavor was- not too tart and the jalapeño gave it a nice touch of heat. The avocado toast was dressed with pomegranate, red onions and something else I couldn't place. So bright and light. Lastly, the Philly cheesesteak spring rolls- they were really more of an egg roll. I guess my idea of a spring roll is very specific to that of something mostly raw, wrapped in rice paper. But I have to say- this is a must. It is so deliciously warm and gooey. The oomph of the sliced steak inside with two cheeses... the stuff that dreams are made of. Yum. My friends ordered: loco moco (I've never eaten this dish before and I didn't try his), chicken and waffles (looked amazing but didn't try this either), warm Napa cabbage salad (SO good- love the salads here already and reaffirmed that today), and my trio of eggs Benedict (Benedict a trois) was so good! If you want to be sensible, I would recommend sharing a salad and this entree with someone. The Benedict trio comes with delicious potatoes and a grilled tomato half as well. All so delicious. I've never had steak at this restaurant and I'll have to come back for that next. Because the slice that I had with my Benedict was a melt in your mouth experience. The crab cake Benedict was made mostly of crab meat- sublime. The traditional Benedict is a solid classic that I just had for dinner at home. Our server insisted that I take home the warm bread pudding. I've never been a bread pudding person, but after having the one here.. I'm a fan! It should've been a no brainer. I love all carbs! The marriage of chilled creme anglaise and warm brandy syrup is a match made in heaven. I ate the whole thing myself just now! Oops. Worth it. read more

Had an awesome dinner here for a friends birthday. We had a pretty large party but they were able to accommodate us in a booth towards the back. It's a really nice place, with low lighting and a hip feel, perfect for a date night or special occasion. I got the sangria for my drink option and it was amazing! Not to mention, it comes in a really beautiful glass. For dinner, I had the New York steak which came with two sides of your choice. I went with the garlic mashed potatoes and the Brussel sprouts. The steak was huge and cooked just how I like it (true medium rare). The potatoes were delicious and the Brussel sprouts had a nice roast on them. The portions were big enough to take home and have for lunch next day. I'd recommend this restaurant! read more

I try to avoid putting negative reviews of small businesses but felt this would be good feedback for the restaurant to calibrate and course correct. My family went for dinner to Town for the first time. I have gluten and dairy allergies so asked the waitress to help identify options. The waitress was pretty annoyed, lacked any empathy at all and prolly would have been happier if we left. Every question was met with a cold and condescending response. Btw, I worked in the restaurant industry, I know how difficult work and customers can be. But a small modicum of decency should be expected in these covid times. Despite the experience, I still left a $30 tip. In the end the food was ok, the service was terrible and certainly not worth the money. I hope the service team are trained properly and the food quality improves. read more

I have frequented Town, so many times, I can't keep track. I have complimented the servers, the quality of the food, and the ambience. I had a server this Saturday, who I have seen quite often, and who has served my meals. His name is Ramez. He is incredibly efficient and observant of the diner's needs. He is alert, and there to make your meal memorable. On Saturday's, I visit the restaurant for traditional Eggs Benedict. It is always prepared according to my preferences. It is consistent, and I have not had better anywhere. This is my "go to" place,whether it be brunch , lunch or dinner. Enjoy! Melody read more

Excellent service, high quality food and always "humming " with social activity. The sushi rolls are excellent, as is the meatloaf.

Food is amazing. Price and portions are justified. Great ambience and vibe. Waiters and staff are friendly and have a sense of urgency

My favorite restaurant by far. Great staff and food. The ambiance is perfect for date night. I would recommend trying the Philly cheese egg rolls and skirt steak. Been here multiple times so you really can't miss with whatever you order. read more

Absolutely love this place, great food, staff and atmosphere. It is always busy and only blocks from home. One of our favorites!

We enjoyed Sunday brunch at TOWN! Here are a few things about our experience: 1. They have a huge indoor bar and nice outdoor seating (good for doggies). 2. The menu is diverse with plenty of healthy options. 3. Service was good and efficient. 4. We ordered a few appetizers: Philly cheesesteak spring rolls (wouldn't order again), creamy garlic bread (was okay, but probably wouldn't order again), miso cauliflower & shishito peppers (delicious- would order again). 5. I ordered Mary's chicken warm Napa cabbage salad as my main entree. It was pretty boring. I wouldn't order again. 6. My boyfriend ordered the teriyaki steak. It was a large portion with a great flavor profile. It's a heavy meal for brunch, so we took some home with us. Honestly, two people could share this one entree. read more

Our family loved it here today. My son especially wanted to make sure I was going to leave a 5 star review and is currently hovering over my shoulder to ensure that I am doing so. Every person from the hostess, to the waiter to even the person bussing our table exuded the most care and attention to us. They were genuinely friendly and their service language was not rehearsed nor fake. The food was delicious and my son nearly lost himself while enjoying his vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and crushed M&M's. He closed his eyes when taking his first bite and said "Mommy. This place brings back memories. Please give this restaurant 5 stars. I love it here." So here we are, on Yelp, now, writing this review. Happy family...happy review. Will definitely need to bring all my friends and family to this place for more good food and good times. read more

I liked that we were sat nearest the "wine cellar", in a booth that was furthest from the street. It's was quiet there and the lighting was perfect, even for a late lunch early dinner. I asked what they had in tap and the waitress simply said "We have a pilsner and an IPA". I Never thought that simplifying my options would make ordering a beer that easy so, nice touch. Ordered teriyaki flank and the 10z wagyu. The food that was brought out was someone else's order, entirely. The waitress took the time to make it right and bring out OUR order. She admitted and apologized for the mistake and removed one of the main courses from the bill. The flank (the 2nd time around) was cooked to med rare and was perfect, I was however disappointed in the wagyu. It was incredibly tender, but was seemingly smaller than 10oz. I ended up filling up on the roasted broccoli and the sauteed spinach (both excellent). We felt we tipped generously, considering the removal of one main course from the bill and the overall service and friendliness. I'd come again, but probably going to avoid the wagyu. read more

TOWN is a great spot with delicious food and some amazing G&Ts. The gin and tonic options are fantastic and the one with the flowers in it really does have a great taste. The food here is spot on, complete with an assortment of fish, steaks and sides that will pretty much meet anyone's need. The Filet with blue cheese was delicious, a tad bit undercooked but delicious. The ambiance is great and the decor is modern chic. Overall, 5 stars for TOWN as its one of the best dining options in downtown San Carlos. Legit- Friendly service Overall ambiance Large portions Gin and tonics Indoor/outdoor seating Vibe Meh- A bit pricey Meat was a bit undercooked but taken care of read more

The food here is delicious! We had a very lovely (and awesome) meal here with our family. We came for an early dinner and sat outside which was perfect. I ordered blacked salmon on a "super bowl". The waiter was very sensitive to my need to avoid dairy and we were all very happy with our food. My stepdad has declared his skirt steak as one of the best he has had and we all shared a few desserts. You have to try the bread pudding! I am happy to have found a new, very tasty option for when we are in town. I will definitely be back!! read more

Great experience! My husband and I were stopping into San Carlos for a quick visit and wanted to quick bite to eat. A few friends recommended eating here, so we checked it out and got to eat outside. We both ordered drinks and enjoyed our food. The best part of our experience was truly our server, Nickolas was the best!!! He really made our experience by being a kind person and great conversationalist. If you can, ask to sit in Nickolas's section. read more

Very nice restaurant, got here on a Thursday lunch time, with reservation, got seated right away. The ambiance is very nice, classic and welcoming. The waiter was very attentive. Shared about most popular entree here and chef's recommendations. Ordered steak, tuna sashimi, and devil egg. Please see picture. The tuna was my most favorite entree, very delicious and fresh. Dessert was warm bread pudding, luscious. Highly recommend! read more

We Came for a quick afternoon drink that turned into drinks and lots of appetizers. Everything was perfect. I had the tuna sushi roll and cauliflower appetizer. I coupled that with a mezcal cocktail featured on the menu. Everything I had was delicious. A friend had the Mac and cheese and described it as so-so. You can't win with everything I guess. They have a great outdoor area which easily accommodated our group of 5 and the service was great, our waiter was pretty amazing. He even brought out little carrots and a sippy cup for my friend's daughter. Parking was easy as well. It was happy hour, but they didn't seem to feature any specials. If you are coming for dinner, your bill can easily creep up, so you shouldn't come expecting an inexpensive meal, but if the taste is inline with the appetizers, you should be happy. read more

Dinner for 17 in the upstairs private dining room (room 2). The room is a definite plus. We could stand and walk around, sit at the table or any of the many seating places. The design is modern and pleasant. Our food was wonderful. I had the roast chicken that also doubled for my dinner the next night. It was an elegantly sufficient portion. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes which were a very nice accompaniment. Our server was an expert. He had no problem fetching cocktails and wine from the floor below. He seemed to be there when we wanted and not there when we didn't want something. My one gripe (petty, I am aware). The bread pudding was room temperature. Would it have broken the profit margin to have it warmed with a scoop of vanilla on the back of the plate? Enjoy! read more

I was in town with family and decided to give this restaurant a go, given it had pretty decent local reviews (it goes to show how different reference points can be around the bay). While waiting for a table outside, listening to the host & wait staff interact with patrons, it became abundantly clear that the customer does not come first here. We giggled at how many times we heard, "Oh SO so sorry, we don't/can't do that" by the host staff, for requests ANY restaurant would oblige. OK, no problem, it's a beautiful day, the outdoor sidewalk patio is lively and the road is even blocked off to cars, so Iet's just fill our tummies with some good food. Once seated, between the 4 of us, we ordered the sea bass, the meatloaf, the steak salad, and a cheeseburger as our mains, and the burrata and heirloom salad, creamed spinach and Mac n cheese to share. First the good: everyone seemed to like the burrata and heirloom salad. We also all tried some of the sea bass and it was pretty good, although definitely not worth the cost. But the creamy spinach was a no, the Mac n cheese may as well have come from a box and meatloaf was not tasty at all. The rest of the food was barely touched. 2 stars is Yelp's star equivalent of "Could've been better". Leaving hungry and unsatisfied after paying a couple of hundred dollars, is my equivalent of "We won't be going back". read more

Came here for a holiday work lunch. They don't take reservations, so a coworker had to come before they opened to try and get a table. She came about 30 minutes before they opened and there was already a long line. All the food ordered was delicious! Bbq shrimp came in a cast iron skillet and had a spicy cream sauce with toasted bread. I didn't eat the philly cheesesteak rolls, but was told they were bomb. The pomegranate martini was very good and surprisingly not too sweet. The sugar rim kinda melts though so your hand gets sticky. I ordered my rib eye rare, was in the middle of rare and medium rare. So tender and flavorful. 24oz and was definitely huge. Took half home for my husband. Comes with two sides, so I ordered garlic green beans and fries. Very friendly service and pretty quick for being a packed restaurant. Will definitely keep this place in mind for a special occasion. read more

Went here yesterday for a team dinner. I really hate it when restaurants like this don't do reservations. My time is just as important as their time, so to waste my time waiting outside is already showing they don't put the customer first. Food - Philly cheesesteak eggroll was the best thing we had. Watermelon feta and burrata salads were the 2nd best. I would skip on the cheese bread. Meatloaf was horrible. It was like a hard meat brick with extra salty gravy on it. Mac and cheese was coagulated and bland. Street corn was good. Super pass on the creamed spinach. Worst one I've ever had. Our office is down the street from here, but we won't be adding this to our rotation. read more
