    Owner Hamdi is the best host in the business. Warm greetings with frequent check in on how the meal is going. The food is spectacular. From the Beef Carpaccio to the Wedge Salad to the Lamb chops and Pasta entre, everything was perfect. THEN to top it off crepes' suzette with ice cream prepared at our table. The wait staff was wonderful. The price very reasonable for such great quality food. A place to spend a special occasion, dinner after work, and any other reason you want. Located in central San Mateo it is walking distance from the center of town. A must go to for everyone.
