- CcolinSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoFood was terrific, wait staff terrific, nice holiday atmosphere and easy parking. All great for a high quality family dining experience. The downside is we were there 3 hours as it took about an hour after first course salads and sides to get the main course, then a long time for desert. Happily since salads and sides came fairly quickly we were not starving and no one was in a hurry. They were not packed, a bit busy. My guess is they are short kitchen staffing.More infoThe Park Bistro & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lafayette•4.4
- NnancyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •17 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWonderful as usual. We went on Christmas Eve and sat outside in the tent. The tent area is quiet. The inside can become very lively. We had the halibut , the harvest dish and my go the puttanesca . All served in a timely manner with great service. I do miss the intimacy of the first restaurant. However, it is great to see them shine at this new place.More infoThe Hideout KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Lafayette•4.5

- JJulieVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •33 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 4, 2024The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH!
