“MCC has done a good job with outside seating with lots of heaters and tents that provide overhead cover as well. New chef and new food menu is better than before”
“The employees in banqueting are amazing. Shout out to Jose, you know which one i mean. I worked a wedding and this staff was efficient and supportive. They worked well and were very friendly. The food was amazing. The venue is so special. Beautiful areas and architecture. I really can't say enough about the staff and beauty of this place. The gelato service didn't come. The venue broth out vanilla ice cream and mango sorbet without missing a beat. Guests never knew there was an issue. True professionals.”
“This is a great old theater that offers many different kinds of entertainment and music. We have seen three shows there. We prefer the balcony since they have seating and a bar upstairs. Main floor is standing room unless they offer seating which depends on the type of show or artist. Ticket prices are moderate and also depends on artist. Easy to get to and parking is easy.”
“It's not very big, but you can spend an hour maybe 2 with curious children. There are many cool contraptions that are a lot of fun to play with. The zoo is pretty small, and there is also a small playground.”
“Impressing manor with large and beautiful gardens. So many well furnished rooms! Many kitchens with different rooms for cooking different products! And a safe for the silver cutlery ? Such a big domain needing at least 10 bedrooms for staff! Nice places indoor and outdoors to be rented for events. We had online tickets including parking for one car.”
“Great space to meet friends and make new ones. I love Friday Happy Hour with live music (4:30-7:00) and lunch in the wine garden on the weekends (11:00- 4:00). Various car shows make an extra special experience!”
“My experience at Auto Vino yesterday was absolutely incredible. It was our first time and Inge was there to greet us and made us feel SO welcomed. She also had a plethora of treats, water and lots of lovin' for my dog Maggie!
We did a wine tasting and ordered pizza and the wood fired wings, all of which was insanely delicious! I will definitely be trying the salmon salad as I saw a few people order it and it looked incredible!
My mom has been telling me about this place for awhile and I can't believe it took me so long to come here, I will be a repeat customer for SURE! The chef even gave us leftover dough as they were closing for the day and I cannot wait to recreate something at home!
I didn't catch the names of the other staff members who were there yesterday but every single person was SO kind and went above and beyond for us. I kept hearing about the famous Daisey and I'm so excited to go back when she's there!
I just adore the sense of community at Auto Vino so thank you to everyone for such a lovely Sunday Funday!”
“This park is great and there is something for all ages to enjoy. I like hiking, bird watching, and photography, and I can all enjoy them here. There are restaurants and parking spaces here. Many people enjoy sailing and kayaking here. Watching them play is very eye-catching. If I have time, I would like to come here to play.”
“Wonderful experience. Kyle has helped us twice and he does a great job explaining the wines and makes the time spent there exceptional. Highly recommend, especially if Kyle is available to help you. :)”

“We hosted out-of-town guests for our son‘s wedding at the Stanford Park Hotel. They were so impressed by the beautiful facility and incredibly helpful and friendly staff.”
“One of my favorite museums I've ever been to. All the exhibits are fascinating, with many hands on interactive portions. Want to climb into a mud wagon and imagine the experience of traveling for 9 hours along a bumpy road? Send a telegram? Drive a streetcar? Or try your hand at an 1800s gambling game? This place has it all.
I loved learning about the history of the place I live, where the highways and public transit systems I use daily came from. Or seeing the evolution California license plates, from porcelain plates to how we saved steel during the war. I've only seen one section so far out of a dozen since I'm spending so much time at each exhibit.
Admission is cheap, and the building looks beautiful. If you haven't been I highly recommend this museum.”
“One of the best kept secrets in San Mateo! If you join, it's like joining a cruise ship with all the events and activities, but with the benefit of an organization that also does good works in the community. They have a ton of amenities for members, along with a lot of activities... Like gym, tennis, pickleball, bowling, bocce ball, handball, swimming, card room, billiards, shuffleboard, darts, even different bars where the drinks are still affordable...I could go on, but I'll leave it there.”
“Palo Alto Elks club with attached event center. The club (members and guests only) has a great gym, saunas, whirlpools and steam rooms. A fantastic pool (great for lap swimming) is never crowded.”
“You don't have to be a car buff to enjoy this space for your event!
We hosted our team holiday party here and it was such a memorable event. Roz made sure everything went off smoothly, we enjoyed the casino activities above on the 2nd floor, along with the super memorable desert station served from the cutest diner ever. This space is truly special and you don't need to decorate a thing if you prefer not to because this space has it all to feel like you've been transported into another time or onto a movie set! If you are thinking about it - do it! You won't want to miss out on a special event here. Hope to be back again for another event / teambuilding.”

“This is one of the greatest community centers in Palo Alto. Everybody is so nice and friendly. Can't wait to go back to pre-Covid19 days where everyday and every week there is an event planned out by this community center. Good old days. Please get the Adas Cafe in the community center more active. We all miss the options of walking out of library or the community center and grab a cold or hot drink with a dessert or a small bite. Thank for your work Mitchell Park Community Center.”

“One of my son Keanu's friends Rex threw a birthday party here and I was very impressed with The Vibe's open layout and facilities. It didn't hurt that Rex's parents did such a great job with the food and even hosted a boba bar for the kids. Keanu and I enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back.”

“I have to say that I came in with high expectations that were not met, but overall the experience was still very good. I was under the impression that the faculty club would have a bit more of a luxurious vibe to it and feature interesting cuisines, but the reality is more of a log cabin vibe with standard fare. It's a nice space sure, but it doesn't live up to the hype. My burger was solid & so was my lemonade, but I wouldn't make it a point to come back. Amazing service though!”
“My wife and I were married at the San Mateo Arboretum in June of 2019, it just occurred to me I should post a review! We were very happy with the venue, we had the wedding out in the garden with about 52 people. We used the Pump House to stage things, and had the buffet tables outside. We were able to bring in a catering truck with a pizza oven, and the caterer provided the servers to stage the food and serve the drinks. Our contact helped us with the logistics and was there for the event, when there was an issue with another event in the park blocking the access she quickly worked it out with them and got the path cleared. There are some limitations to work with: no real kitchen for cooking, no dishwashing, and the interior would be cramped for 45 people, so hope for clear weather and bring a mobile caterer. Don't expect to play really loud music or have a big dance party on the grass. But for a small low-key wedding the garden is fantastic, and makes a wonderful backdrop. The price is very affordable, and we were able to book it with 4 months notice, so it was a very good option for us... Highly recommended if it fits your needs!”

“It's a nice community center. Visited there to attend annual performance of one of the dance schools located in this facility. Buildings look old, but well maintained. It is a multipurpose community center. Looks like you can rent the place by hour for such performances.”
“We had a private function there and the staff was super helpful. The venue itself is a beautiful old building. Stage and various seating arrangement are available. We kept it very simple but you can make it super fancy too.”
“Best crab feed. EVER! $75.00 per, all you can eat, hot and cold crab. Next event = 24, March, 2018. Get your tickets early! So glad they are back! Some of the nicest people you will ever meet!!!”
“Great food and great service i have been getting my lunch and my coffee from them for over 3 years now and i would say that they do it right. Love the Roast Beef and the coffee is the best around.”
“Alpine Hills Tennis & Swimming is an exceptional club that exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of the staff. The service attitude here is outstanding—every staff member I encountered was friendly, attentive, and eager to assist. They truly go above and beyond to ensure members and guests have a positive experience.
The food at the club is equally remarkable. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals served here. Every dish I tried was not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared and well-presented. The portions are generous, making it great value for the price. Whether you’re enjoying a post-tennis lunch or a casual family dinner, the menu offers something for everyone, with a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavors.
The overall ambiance of the club is relaxed yet refined, creating the perfect setting for both leisure and sports. Whether you’re here for tennis, swimming, or simply to enjoy the excellent dining, Alpine Hills provides a top-notch experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-managed facility that excels in both service and quality.”
“Everything was great! The ladies were attentive and knowledgeable. The instructor took her time to give pointers in the step by step instruction. We had a great time and will definately go back again!”
“We toured Rengstorf House as a possible venue for a wedding. Impressive.Update: The wedding is next month so we looked over the venue in general again and specifically the arbor which we have to cover with flowers. A nice place but many hoops (like vendor insurance) to jump through with your vendors. Enough restrictions too, especially with lighting limitations.”
“Nice garden to visit and enjoy. We went during a weekend event where a variety of clubs and vendors were there. A lot of different plants available to view, enjoy, and purchase for cheap. If you like to garden and are in the area when they are open, definitely stop by!”

“Monday night ecstatic dance is fun. A nice place to dance without having to deal with drunk people, and having lots of space to spin around. There's a hippy/yoga vibe, but there is no pressure to become part of a cult. You just dance and dance until it is over. And you can dance like no one is watching, because people are really not watching. The custom is to dance without shoes and there is no socializing on the dance floor. You are free to lie on the floor and writhe around. The music varies depending on the DJ, but usually the music ramps up slowly allowing you to warm up. The sound is not ear bleeding loud, but it is a reasonably clean sound system. Could have a bit more bass.”
“Fantastic park in the neighborhood. This park has everything you could ask for - dense trees, some historic buildings, children's playground, strength training equipments, tennis courts, big fields. The best part is this park has many smaller parts and tracks around them, that gives you plenty of options to choose from. Highly recommend”
