BEWARE!  Person answering phone is not telling folks no walk ins allowed today bc of high post Xmas volume. Would have been good to know before we did the 30 mins drive. Also not serving lunch off main menu outside. Manager felt it was necessary to share they r a $14million dollar restaurant.  Why would this make a difference to a disgruntled hungry customer? 1 star for service & the complicated/lame food ordering rules.  We r sitting right next to another couple who ordered ribs off the menu at the out door fire pit bar.

Our server said ribs aren't being served where we r sitting. What GIVES!????!!  Maybe you need to be wearing a hat to get ribs??

I like!  Cool music, nice decor, creative awesome food. Not the typical sushi choices.

The taco roll was amazing as was the tuna tataki salad with a tasty dressing!  We preferred the hamachi carpaccio over the salmon.

Will definitely be back!!  The private dining tables are nice as well. Attentive service.

OMG!  What restaurant runs out of cloth napkins. I already know from reviews & prior visits that this place is never hopping yet I keep insisting on coming back bc the chef does such a great job w/ steaks/seafood

Tonight really is my last visit even though steak & broccolini were nicely prepared (mashed potatoes were uninspired) !

This place just keeps going down, down, down which is so sad

Burlingame is a desert when it comes to decent dining. This SF girl is either driving to SF or San Carlos or Palo Alto for a decent meal. Don't know why this town doesn't have a bigger restaurant draw....

Where do I start. Oh yes. We were joking bc none of the tables had napkins we thought perhaps napkins were drying in the oven or they forgot to pay the laundry bill.

I noticed a small pile of cocktail napkins nearby.  I thought the waiter was joking when we finally asked for napkins when our apps arrived & he said they had "a large event & ran out of cloth napkins".  Righto.....

Well we had cocktail napkins to go w/ our dinner $23+ mains at that !!

Our friends brought a delish bottle of Foley wine. Pretty sure on past visits they had  decent stemware. Wait staff brought white wine glasses instead of red wine glasses  
& crappy quality at that. We have better Costco wine glasses that we've bought by the case.

Which reminds me, seems like something is really wrong with their dishwasher since the plates & water glasses all had a coating like they never really had a good cleaning in the dishwasher.  Gross!  Better to have your bread off the table cloth.....

It only went downhill from there,  so sad. For not a busy night I think there was just one waiter for 6 tables. We wanted to order another bottle of wine. By the time it was communicated we were finished with our meals & more than ready to go home to rid ourselves of the bad dining experience

If this place is still in biz by the new year I will be shocked!  Better to stay home & cook mac 'n cheese & open a nice bottle of wine then venture back into this sad, dark hole... .

Only recently discovered this restaurant after watching Check Please.

Had a really amazing meal here last night.  Highlights were the roasted squid, linguine with grated tuna heart (right up there with Incanto's) & the gelato sampler!

We aren't big fans of Italian wines.  Our server recommended 3 different reds, all were delicious!  

Definitely a new fav restaurant!

My laptop hard drive crashed & Create More had me up & running with a double capacity hard drive & upgraded my memory within ~30 minutes at a reasonable cost!!

Thankfully i was able to restore from my time machine backup.

This place is awesome!

Slanted Door has some competition on the Peninsula.  

Everything we ordered was delicious.  They have ~10 types of spring rolls; we ordered the traditional.  the tuna tartare served over a dry ice filled cup was quite delicious; garlic noodles were yummy (would have been more so w/ extra garlic); the banana salad w/ ginger marinated chicken was also good; the beef short ribs super tender

i think my favorite item for the evening was the delish menage a trois dessert.

They get a 5 star for decor; nicely done & our server was excellent making great recommendations

i'll definitely be back for the lunch buffet.

an amazing selection of olive oils & vinegars.  the mushroom, sage olive is delicious.  really nice choices in vinegars including an espresso balsamic & honey/grapefruit.  

they are very generous with the samples; i would love to have small slices of bread for the sampling....

Reasonable prices as well & nice interior.

Yeah!  so happy they are finally open.  The Blue Bottle coffee is a delicious treat & so much easier to get than waiting in line at Ferry Plaza or Hayes Valley locations!  

Burlingame Produce has a great selection of organic produce including Russian kale where i've only been able to find at bi-rite in SF or the farmers market.

Nice, helpful staff as well.  This store is a most welcome & long overdue addition to the neighborhood!

just an update that we had a low spot in our patio which was collecting water.  The Pro Paverstone crew was back out in no time to re-grade &  re-install a small section of pavers.  

Yeah!  How nice when your contractors provide this level of service!!

We had the most delicious Thanksgiving dinner at Josephine's!!  I was surprised that the buffet style dinner was as good as it was from the scrumptious organic salads, to the brined turkey, smoked salmon, beef wellington, & amazing desserts.

There was plenty of food and the price was a bargain at $35/per person!!

Nice, extensive wine list as well.

Definitely will return if I'm back in Flagstaff.
