Set up: they sent me a diagram of the place I indicated where I wanted the tables and when I arrived the day of the event it was done as I requested, they were very kind and advised more tables and chairs in the closet and I can use as needed. The staff: super friendly and helpful I had a great time we couldn't ask for more! The pictures are amazing no need for a lot of decorating since the garden is beautiful. I highly recommend the San Mateo garden center it was the perfect place for us, affordable, beautiful and Mike and Sarah a pleasure. Lovely!

We did the ceremony outside with the beautiful water fountain as our backdrop and the weather was perfect (especially since we both lived in Daly City at the time -fog central).

We are so glad we picked CSM and the Bayview Dining Room for our wedding ceremony and reception…read more Unlike some of the other venues we toured, the dining area is big and airy. It has floor-to-ceiling glass windows/walls that provide great views of the bay and blue sky above. Our guest list was pretty small, so we had tons of extra room, but the set-up staff made it work really well, filling the space with extra bar tables and couches with coffee tables to provide a variety of areas for mingling and lounging. Between the patio, the main dining area, the dance floor, and the bar/lounge areas, our guests had tons of space and options, and they used it all. We had our ceremony here, too. The fountain provided a very nice backdrop, and the balcony allowed our photographer to get some neat shots of the ceremony and all our guests from above. We were lucky to have pretty much perfect weather on our big day, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the view. They loved taking pictures on the patio with the bay and blue sky behind them. Both prior to and on the big day, Allison was great to work with. She was easily accessible via email, quickly answered any and all questions, and was very friendly and accommodating. On the day itself, the setup and catering/bar staff members were great, too. They were efficient, friendly, and helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, both at the tasting and on the wedding day. Many of our guests shared how much they enjoyed the meal - especially the ice cream sundae bar! On the booze front, we provided the alcohol and mixers for the bar, which likely saved a lot of money; the corkage fees were very reasonable and the bar staff were friendly and kept the drinks flowing. Overall, CSM and Pacific Dining were a great choice for us. Having our wedding at a college felt a little unorthodox at first, but it suited us so well. The space was excellent, the rates were very reasonable, the food was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We had a fabulous day, and if we had to do it over again, we wouldn't change a thing.

I have finalized my garden makeover by mid summer. Came by…read morefor the second time dropping off 2 healthy euonymus. I saw 3 small euonymus plants that I surrendered 2 months ago. They are trimmed and look super happy (new growth with dozens leaves are burst to open). When I dropped them off; part of the leaves are dried since I wasn't able to deliver them right away after they were taken out. This is the reason that this place exist-because the volunteers passionate and know how to take care of the plants. I witness how they nurse the plants that I gave away. This must be love. For most people; these plants are unwanted and would end up in compost. They group them together with the same species in the table for sale. They price the smaller one $4.50 and 2 of the mediums $10/ each. Come and support this business. Everyone would benefit; whether you are giving away plants or buying.

The fitness center, although it looks run down, here has all the equipment you need and never gets as busy as 24 hour fitness or equinox. I haven't tried it yet, but have noticed the bowling alley and tennis courts. The monthly Bingo events are always something fun to look forward to. I did not realize how intense the games can get, and am still hoping to win one day. They also offer affordable Wednesday night dinners that are catered and the drinks are cheap ($2 beers).

I really enjoy the gym, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi on a weekly basis. The people here always say hi and are very friendly. I might be on the younger side but don't mind learning from our older members. Everyone here is very respectable and great. I like taking my kids here over the summer to the pool to enjoy. They also have a cantina bar to enjoy a cocktail or beer under the sun. They also have Wednesday night dinners for a reasonable price. Also throughout the year they have many events to enjoy. I would recommend checking them out.

What an awesome venue for a grad party! We recently rented the entire facility for a party of…read moreabout 100 people. The entire facility holds up to 200 people and contains a full kitchen, courtyard, billiards tables, ping pong table, air hockey table and more. The cost for Foster City residents is $156 per hour and non-residents is $208 per hour. You can rent part of the center for a lower cost as well. We had food catered in and was able to keep most of the trays warm in the oven while we served some of them. We scheduled a walkthrough a few days before the party and provided details on how we wanted the tables to be set-up. Parking is plenty as this center is where Leo J Ryan Park is. This venue is going to be one of the top on our list of venues for future party/gathering needs.

Lobster Flatbread - The crust was thin, crispy, and delicious. It was also perfectly cheesy!

We visited Pinstripes for Mother's Day brunch and unfortunately it wasn't the experience we were…read morehoping for. The restaurant seemed very understaffed, and throughout the two hours we were there, many of the food items stayed empty for long periods without being replenished. Since the buffet was split between two levels, our entire family, including those helping with a newborn, constantly had to go downstairs just to find available food, which was also limited at times. The protein selection felt pretty minimal with mainly prime rib and ham, while most of the buffet consisted of carbs and desserts. On top of that, three of our family members ended up experiencing stomach issues afterward, which we suspect may have come from the chocolate fountain area. We've celebrated Mother's Day here before and were really looking forward to coming back, so it was disappointing to leave feeling let down. Hoping this was just an off day, but sadly we probably won't be choosing Pinstripes again for future Mother's Day celebrations.

The space itself was warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited for gathering everyone together to honor my brother. I'm truly grateful for the kindness and support shown to us.

I came to this WeWork to get some work done since the internet at my new place wasn't set up yet…read more This was my first time at a WeWork so I was a bit on edge since I didn't know what to expect. When I got there, a woman let me in and essentially gave me the run down. You get a key card to access the elevators, there are conference rooms you can book and phone booths to take small work meetings. The 2nd and 3rd floors have dedicated areas for quiet work while the 4th floor is more collaborative. They have free beverages throughout the day so if you wanted some tea, water or coffee, you can get that. The hibiscus tea they had on tap was pretty good and ended up being my go to for the day. They also have snacks for an extra charge and you can order food to the building and the delivery is pretty seamless. I wanted to access the WiFi and to do that you have to find a link from their website and get a special password linked to your account. Unfortunately, no one told me this, there were no QR codes to scan on the desk, or any signs posted so it took be a bit longer to get set up. Everything else was pretty smooth except for the first floor not having any paper towel. I think all of those things are easy fixes though. Overall, productive place to get work done if you want a change of pace.
