“We had a great day here, with very good wines and sandwiches and pizzas with a large group of friends, outdoors.
Car museum indoors also hosts customers.”
“This is an excellent museum, but some exhibits are better than others. The overall goal is to explore the history and culture of the county, and this they do quite well, especially in the exhibits downstairs. The object theater in the exhibit on housing in the county is especially fun and clear. Divided into three sections- great estates, pre-war housing, and the post-war boom, the lighting, videos and narration really brings the history to life.
A far less successful exhibit is the one on innovators on the second floor. This is a pixelated exhibition in the unfortunate new museum fashion. By that I mean that it’s a heap of objects with minimal to no narrative structure. If you’re looking for a history of Silicon Valley, go to the Los Altos Museum. The exhibit here will mostly be interesting to relatives of those whose innovations were chosen.
Overall, though, the museum is absolutely worth a visit. It successfully connected with the history of the building, bringing in the stories of the courthouse and law enforcement.
The exhibit on native Americans was quite good. It didn’t shy away from the violence of the mission system.
The exhibit on roads and means of communication was also excellent.
Anyone interested in the history of the peninsula would do well to stop by. The gift shop is great too.”
“The Guild is the best small venue theater outside San Francisco. Tiny venue, good drinks, nice facilities, two bars, helpful staff. Only downside is they need more non- cover bands to come through.”
“Lovely space that feels hidden & secret, deep inside the city streets. Absolutely gorgeous gardens crisscrossed with paths & arches & porticos, surrounded by eclectic architecture. Ideal for a photo session or a private event.”
“The gardens are amazing, as is the troll. There isn't a lot of shade so don't advise going on a hot day (like we did). The paths out to Rosie are a little tricky for people in wheelchairs or using a mobility scooter, but doable. Will definitely go again.”

“Loved our very quick but very enjoyable anniversary celebration at the Stanford Park Hotel. The rooms are great and the atmosphere with the outdoor patio dining and live music made for a perfect night. Every staff member we encountered was professional and went above and beyond to make our night special. We will definitely return.”

“We love bringing our kids to this park! There’s a nice walking path around most of the park, the playground is nice for our small kids, and there’s a large open field nearby as well.
One of our favorite things is to walk over to the Atherton public library (5 mins), grab a pastry at their cafe, and let our kids read and explore the library. Sometimes it’s a nice winding-down activity for them.”
“One of my all time favorite places to visit. Go after 12pm if you plan on visiting during the week (avoid field trips). Lots to do for all ages. Sadly the otter & fox have died. Very friendly staff.”
“Yes, this is a very great place. In particular, there are very kind people here, especially in the high school as well. The young girls study here, and they are very polite, respectful. Also, it is a nice place to stay; it has a green environment, a very moderate and different atmosphere compared to other places around this area. Yes, I am sure it is a special place. If you want to walk, you can come for walking, hiking, to see the green space that is created from various flowers, colorful trees, and they have very kind staff who will treat you well.⭐️?????☀️?????⭐️”
“One of the best wine shops we’ve been into in the USA. Exceptional service, very well laid out store and a big range of natural/minimal intervention wines.”
“This was my first time at the Elks Club in San Mateo. I attended an afternoon luncheon with about 50 family members in their banquet room which was bright and cozy, and a very nice place for a party, wedding reception, etc. There is ample parking in the parking lot and on the street. The food served was delicious and the service was top notched.”

“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!”

“Long Branch Saloon and Farms is a venue that transports you somewhere else…They maintain an old west town on their property. They are masters at cultivating fun. Whether it’s a corporate event teambuilding, wedding or birthday party, they have activities, food, mini golf and all sorts of old wet style fun for every age and every ability.
I was there for a wedding, a small corporate event and a massive event and the venue transformed for each into a unique experience designed by Long Branch for that customer.
They cultivated competition between teams in chili cookoffs, served ice cream to kiddos at a family event, and somehow convinced coworkers to try line dancing together (which is amazingly fun if you can get over the feeling of embarrassment)!
Come to them with your idea for a perfect event or come to them with no idea and they will execute !”
“We chose this place for my daughter’s birthday party, and it was amazing. The kids had so much fun creating and painting their own pictures.
Everything was very well organized, and the professional artist guided the activities smoothly so every child could participate and enjoy the process.
Pizza and cake time was also perfectly arranged. Thank you for making the celebration so easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place!”
“It’s not new, but as a property manager it feels very well maintained. Well equipped, useful layout, easy parking, efficient and clean restrooms and the associated catering service is very generous with good food and good service. Out e annual conference always runs without a hitch. Just bring a coat because the A/C works very well.”
“Beautiful grounds and outstanding V.I.P. service! The staff is very attentive, the food is exquisite and the menu has a lot of variety. Definately a 5 star country club!”
“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!”
“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.”
“This place was amazing! The service was barr none.
The Psychedelic Mary Poppins Convention was supercalifragilisticexbealodousis.
I won the look alike contest.”
“This is an amazing place to take your kids to practice soccer and all classes they offer. Coach Eduardo is the best coach I ever met and has a great disposition to train children.”
“I was there for an AYSO Soccer meeting. Conference room was comfortable for 15-20 people, A/C was too high, but staff quickly resolved it. Construction and the Wednesday evening Food Trucks made parking tight but I was easily able to find a free parking spot.”
“We rented the ballroom for a function. It was the perfect setting with the main room brightly lit with natural light, a stage for our performance and speeches, a foyer for greeting guests.”
“This military veterans bar is open to the public. Below average drink prices here. Big hall and and kitchen available to have your next event. Great management and bartender. Friday night karaoke from 8 pm-1 am.”

“Great people wonderful exotic plants ( grown locally so the shock of being growing up in a different region doesn't ruin the current flowering and adapting quickly) I showed up as they were closing and just the little time I spent and small portion of what was available that I viewed were enough to cause me to leave with my arms full .”
“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.”
“OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! They have lots of activities planned there every week...come out sundays mornings to watch sports. Joe is the bartender on Sunday's and he's a blast!
Help support our veterans by visiting American Legion...”

“Found this hidden gem near the SFO airport around San Mateo. This is a venue spot so call ahead, but I was lucky enough to check it out and I mean seriously lucky to see this place! It's absolutely cool and it's a must see for classic muscle/sports/vintage racing car enthusiast. This was an amazing cherry on the top for me as it was my Birthday. If you know a car guy and want maybe the most kick ass spot to host an event/party in the San Mateo area, go here!”
