Sole Ristorante Italiano -Food CA (Near San Mateo)

Mony A The Mariachi and live music build an enjoyable atmosphere. The food is delicious and the drinks dont disappoint. Gaby is a awesome server. She made great recommendations and checked on us periodically to make sure we had all we needed. Will definitely be returning!

E C Deluxe 1717 is our restaurant of choice anytime my I and/or my husband are in the area (we live 70 miles away, or else we’d be there all the time)! We even went there for brunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary after attending service in the church where we got married in LA – sure, there are tons of great LA options we could have gone with, but there is something extra special about Deluxe. The food is beyond excellent, with a varied and creative menu. The wine list is unique and offers great pairing options. The service is always friendly and attentive. All this, in a charming ambiance. Well worth the trip every time! I’ve mostly been there for brunch, savoring dishes like smoked salmon arepa benedict, roasted cauliflower and leek quiche, mushroom quiche, seasonal waffles, Bolivian empanada, Cuban sandwich, burrata, tuna carpaccio, and my favorite, olive oil poached wild mushrooms with forbidden rice. Their quiche of the day comes with locally sourced greens that melt in your mouth. Their dinner menu is also fabulous, such as the Deluxe nachos, grilled hanger steak carne asada, Peruvian grilled chicken, Cuban bowl, miso carbonara. Favorite desserts include their Thai tea crème brulé and strawberry rhubarb galette. Drinks I or friends/family have enjoyed: rosé by the glass, exotic fruit mimosas, hibiscus (with or without champagne!), and reds like Miroballi Pinot Noir, La Bastide Cote Du Rhone and Brick Mason Red Blend. Aside from brunch and dinner, they frequently do special events ranging from “Thursty” Thursdays with fun appetizers, multi-course dinners with pairings, themed menus and drink, and holiday parties. The space is classy and cozy, with comfy indoor seating and walls filled with a fun blend of artwork, as well as a cute patio. The location is convenient to access while also not congested. Above all, Deluxe is run by wonderful people. Onil, the owner, is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, with infectiously positive energy. He is an absolute delight to be around! The staff are all so lovely and warm, in addition to providing top-notch meals, service and wine pairing suggestions that are on point! They also care for their community. Notably, in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire earlier this year, Deluxe hosted free neighborhood meals for their community and first responders, collected donations to help affected home and business owners, supported fundraising efforts, and more.

Jen Knight This place had really excellent food. Not as wide a variety as south, but hit the spot and there was no bougie line. Love the seating options, good place for large party or family style dinner. Fried chicken was solid, catfish also good. Mac and cheese had a unique flavor, and DO NOT miss that cornbread. It came as a kind of pancake and was sooo delicious. Definitely would come again!

Kenneth Zen Toro in Davis is hands down one of the best Japanese spots in town. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and calm --the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good food, and never feel rushed. The fish is always fresh and the rolls are beautifully made. You can tell they put care into every dish they send out. Their specialty rolls are amazing, but even the basics are done well -- the miso, tempura, and sashimi all hit the spot. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the meal always feels satisfying from start to finish. Service is friendly and attentive without being pushy, which just adds to the overall experience. Whether youre in the mood for sushi, udon, or a comforting combo plate, Zen Toro delivers every time. Highly recommended - definitely a 5-star spot in Davis!!

Faro Prestigiacomo Ive loved this place for many years. Casual, good food, service always seems great. A real Santa Barbara local feel. Fabulous views, one of the only places around where you can sit out, in the sun or under an umbrella, on the beach with your feet in the sand.

Janelle Stepper McKenzie provided exceptional service at dinner! We dined inside with a nice window view of the waterfront. My spouse ordered the burger with fries and I had the Caesar salad. We had a few gin and tonics with the meal which were so refreshing. The food came out quick after ordering and I would definitely recommend dining here.
