Son & Garden

Came for a dear friends birthday. At this location, we basically sat outside around another restaurant. We took pictures in front with their well known giraffe, but they still had a Christmas tree in the background in the middle of January. Please take that down already. I've been here many years ago and there were beautiful flowers on every table. This time around, there was nothing pretty as far as ambiance, bring back the flowers on the tables. That's what once made going there to sit outside of another restaurant special. Little touches. Or meals were delicious. The visual display was nice, just not the same spectacular buildup as the food once was. Even our coffee and cocoa once came in a teddy bear clear cup, now it's a regular cup. Where did all the fun looking drinks go?? Our service was friendly; although forgotten a request. Overall, not too delighted to return; I've been here 3x, sadly this was the least excited I've ever felt.

We went here for the first time for brunch today, and unfortunately, it will be our last! We had reservations and were seated quickly. It was crowded and really noisy. Our server recommended the Crabby Omelet to my wife, which she ordered. Although it was flavorful, there was just a couple of tea spoons of Dungeness crab meat on top and none inside. For $29.95, we'd expect more crab meat! I had the Ricotta Pancakes, which were very good. We also had a Bloody Mary that was good, but instead of adding a celery that usually comes with a Bloody Mary, this one just had the celery leaves. Our server, wasn't good at all! She never once came by to ask how everything was. We eat at lots of restaurants and this has never happened before. She didn't come by until it was time to pay. Also we ordered two drinks to start and when she brought them, she gave me my wife's drink and mine to my wife!

Great experience here, had the chicken panini and lavender spritzer. Chicken was cooked tender and soft. The fries were thin and crispy and the aioli sauce delicious. Spritzer was light and just the right amount of syrup. The place was not too busy. Park near the Caltrain station for free and it’s a a short walk over.
