Rise Woodfire Pizza & Rotisserie -Food CA (Near San Mateo)

Allison Beane Food was delicious with the exception of the garlic tomato soup. I feel like it needs more of a tomato base to it. Its very garlic forward. Otherwise, everything was so, so yummy! Our server has worked there 16 years. And she was amazing. You can tell she can run circles around the others.

melina castillo I cant believe that Im only trying this restaurant for the first time now... Ive been missing out! Lets start with the polite servers who are responsive to our needs even when it got busy. Arians was great, and I wish I knew the names of the two who served us the bread and refilled our glasses! Then, theres the modern, yet still rustic ambience playing good music that is not too loud. Finally, lets get to the food. The short rib empanada: I would go back even just for this! The salad was simple yet delicious! I think theres heart of palm chopped in there, and the dressing was simple and just right! The steak! My goodness, that was PERFECTION served on a plate! The meat was tender and cooked perfectly. The marinade required no sauce on the steak. It was wonderful just as is! My husband and I will definitely be coming back!

Holly Dadok Wonderful experience. We went for an early dinner on a Tuesday, so the restaurant was fairly calm for most of our dinner and didn’t start to get busy until we were near the end of our dinner. We brought our little one, and the employees were very accommodating in helping us use the wheelchair lift and finding a table that accommodates a bassinet. When baby was getting fussy near the end of dinner and we had to get going, they helped us leave quickly and with no stress. Our waiter was, Scott, a sommelier, who went above and beyond with service. He was friendly, prompt, and extremely knowledgeable. He recommended to us our new favorite wine! The food was delicious and the restaurant interior was beautiful. Only con was that it was a little warm inside, I think around 79 degrees, but we didn’t bring it up to anyone because we were having a great time regardless. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Marilyn Chi Delicious! Tasty!! Well worth it. Excellent service! At least 2 people have recommended this restaurant when we got into Carmel. We didn’t have a reservation, but we really wanted to try it since it was highly recommended. They gave us the option of sitting at the bar area which had some tables. The plus in sitting at the bar area is that you can order from their regular menu and the bar menu. I ordered the Sole Menuire and hubby ordered the Grilled bistro rib eye steak, 10oz which included French fries and salad. His steak was from the bar menu. We had also ordered the octopus as the starter and that was very tasty. The service was excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant and making reservations prior to going. But if you don’t and don’t mind, the bar seating was great too.

Brian Cho Came here with my coworker. She recommended this place and we finally stoped by. She’s regular since when she was young. She talked about this place a lot. Oh man, this sandwich was best I ever had. Everything was delicious and can’t wait until I go there again. The price is high but you pay for quality. This is hidden gem in Salinas.

Bruno Ribeiro This food really is unmatched. The service was great and the atmosphere was cozy. It is working with a bit of a limited space, but they are so quick to service that you don’t even have time to notice. The portion are just right and the deserts aren’t too filling so definitely worth ordering some no matter how full you think you are. Plus apparently the chef is the owner, so good sign of quality of food! They have a weird curtain at the door that makes it seem like they are closed, but just ignore that.
