    Italian crepe
    Nancy C.

    Quick take: I really wanted to love this place It's a local spot and I like supporting small businesses. The food was okay. Italian crepe: crepe was too thick, didn't like the potatoes The pancakes weren't fluffy. Service was good but food is just okay.

    Great Lentil Soup!
    Sir C.

    I am an Outsider! New to the area and establishment! I was well welcomed and received. No discrimination! If only other establishments , not just in this area will be receiving and welcoming regardless of your race and social class! The world would be a better place. I like how well the interior is decorated. It's well kept. I enjoyed the Lentil Soup! Like Arnold said " I'll be Back"

    Tucked in the Carlmont Village Plaza, this spot came in handy on a cold morning for breakfast. Maybe it's because of the holiday, but we were one of only two tables. Service was quick and friendly. Ordered a latte which came large, creamy and hot! The standard breakfast plate was very plentiful. The potatoes were like a combo of house and hash - crispy on the top! They had a nice play on French toast served with Nutella. Lots of options on the menu for both breakfast and dinner lunch.

    Nothing bad but nothing great either. Decent basic breakfast food. They made my daughter's pancakes Mickey Mouse shaped :)

    mediterranean crepe with side salad
    Ellen L.

    i never would have known about this place had it not been for yelp! this cute little cafe is located at the carlmont village shopping center, but it's around the corner facing ralston, so i never would have seen it since i always enter via alameda de las pulgas. note that they only open for breakfast & lunch, 8-1430 daily. the waitstaff appeared to be mother & son and they were super sweet and prompt in taking our orders, presenting our food, and bringing us the bill. i ordered the mediterranean savory crepe, which had eggs, artichoke, eggplant, sundried tomatoes, olives, basil and feta cheese. i requested egg whites and light on the cheese for a healthier option. i also opted for salad on the side in lieu of potatoes. my plate was beautifully presented and it also tasted great! healthy, but very filling! the thin crepe was filled with lots of fresh veggies, and just a bit of cheese, as i requested. i probably could have eaten two of these, they were so delicious! the salad was just the right size for a side salad and it was so pretty, with the specs of tomatoes and red dressing (guessing something vinaigrette since it was tangy). the mother even took a photo for us, upon request, since our friends were dressed up for halloween :) my breakfast experience was well worth the $17.95 (before tax & tip) and i'll definitely be back to try some of their other breakfast options and maybe even lunch. i noticed the beautiful coffee cake sitting on the counter by the register and unfortunately, i was too full to order a slice after my meal...something to look forward to next time!

    Wow super delicious

    Lynn is so sweet!! Love the location and the food was yummy !! Location has great parking and if you are in the area this place is yummy for breakfast, brunch, and lunch I ordered the chicken sandwich yummm with yummy French fries. Over all 5 stars can't wait to come back and try more

Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. After we were seated, no one came back to take our order or even offer water for about 15-20 minutes. When I eventually gave the server feedback about the long wait, the response came across as somewhat rude and dismissive rather than apologetic. The food itself was average--nothing particularly memorable--and one of the items we ordered was completely missed. Overall, the place has a good setting and potential, but the service, food quality and attention to customers need significant improvement. For a breakfast/brunch restaurant in a great location, I would expect much better hospitality and order accuracy.

The restaurant was kind enough to split the salad and brought it in 2 plates. The baked brie was hands down my favorite, and the combination of fresh pears and caramelized walnuts was also so good. The restaurant has a cozy, rustic cabin feel that makes it a great date night spot. They even bring out a candle for the table in the evening, which adds a nice touch. The staff were warm, attentive, and very polite throughout our meal. The restroom was clean, and finding street parking right outside was easy enough. It was surprisingly quiet on a weekday evening, though I have a feeling it's much busier on weekends. Overall, if you're looking for fresh, flavorful food with lots of healthy options in a cozy setting, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try

The baked Brie was so gooey and paired well with the crackers, garlic, arugula and fig jam on the plate. It's a lot of fun because you get to put all the toppings on your piece of Brie. The short rib was tender and the sauce was rich, but way too bitter to my liking. The wild mushroom pasta was creamy and delicious, but could be enhanced with a bit of acid. The fried chicken was juicy. It was served with 3 cheese macaroni, corn bread and parsley. I didn't know what to do with the parsley. Overall, the meal looked and sounded better than it tasted. It'll be a while until I come back.

We were tired, hungry, and desperately in need of coffee. Drake's looked perfect and great reviews. The restaurant itself is charming. There's a small upstairs dining area, and the downstairs bar looked like the quickest way to get food, so we headed there. But the welcome was awkward. A man at the front desk clearly heard us walk in but didn't look up or acknowledge us. After a moment, a woman came over with a big smile, which was nice, but she didn't say a word just handed us menus. So we seated ourselves at the bar. When the waiter asked what he could get us, I started giving our coffee order, and he just looked around the room up at the ceiling, across the restaurant anywhere but at me. It felt dismissive and honestly just weird. Then the coffee arrived, and it was rough. My "latte" tasted like plain coffee with a splash of milk. No foam, no espresso flavor. My boyfriend's mocha tasted watered down, almost like it was made with hot water and a tiny bit of cream. Both drinks were extremely disappointing. Thankfully, the food was much better. My quiche was decent about a 3 out of 5. My boyfriend's chilaquiles were flavorful and satisfying, definitely a 4 out of 5. Drake's has a beautiful space and good food, but the service and the coffee really missed the mark for us.

By day, it's warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. You'll see families enjoying dinner, friends catching up over drinks, and locals stopping in for great food and hospitality. But once Friday night hits, the entire atmosphere transforms. The lights dim, the music turns up, the dance floor fills, and the energy becomes something you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Friday nights bring a fun mix of crowds; from younger groups looking for DJs, dancing, cocktails, and nightlife energy, to older guests enjoying the live music, atmosphere, and social vibe. Honestly, I'm a little older myself and still absolutely love the younger, high-energy scene here. It's fun, welcoming, and never feels out of place no matter your age. That's what makes this place so unique. Everyone fits in and everyone has a great time. Then Saturdays bring a completely different experience with live artists and an incredible variety of music. One weekend you'll hear young country performers getting the crowd singing along, and the next you'll find authentic Irish fiddlers creating that classic pub atmosphere everyone loves. That variety is what keeps people coming back..every weekend offers something different and memorable. The food is outstanding, the beer and cocktail selection is excellent, and the hospitality is second to none. I finally had the chance to meet Molly, the owner, and it's easy to see why this place has built such a loyal following. Her passion for creating a place where everyone feels welcome shows in every detail. From the amazing service to the live entertainment and unforgettable atmosphere, this isn't just another local pub. It's become a destination spot and one of the true nightlife gems in San Carlos. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the weekends.
