My husband and I love going to Twelvemonth. The food is incredible, and the service is great. So glad to have this restaurant not too far from home. read more

Sadly wanted to like this place and maybe it was just a bad day but the sun was out after much rain and I was looking forward to having brunch outside. We waiting 30 minutes in the hot sun for anyone to come take our order. My husband had to go ask for help and the front desk greeter had to take our order. Fast forward to finally having a waiter. Told the other table he took care of that he is usually a bartender and this is his first brunch when asked about some items in the menu. I already knew how this was going to be once he came to us and was ready to give him some grace. Sadly he never apologized never tried to make it better. It was unfortunate that this was my first and probably last experience at this very large establishment. Do better. read more

We've been here twice for special occasions, a birthday and an anniversary. This dining room (and outdoor patio) is absolutely gorgeous and elegant. Service is excellent. Both times, we enjoyed the drinks, appetizers (especially the maitake mushrooms and panzanella), and desserts. The entrees are a different story. On my first visit, I got the turnip cake, which I didn't love. Husband got a pasta dish which he really enjoyed, so I thought maybe I'd ordered wrong. We returned over a year later. I got the new fall dish of a gluten free Red Kuri Gnocchi. My waitress highly recommended it and said she loved it. It had the texture of play-dough, extremely gummy and unpleasant. It had a pastiness to it, as though it wasn't fully cooked. There were Asian style flavors with some pockets that were overly salty. I ended up sending it back and sharing my feelings with another waiter, who said he's gotten that feedback before. He asked if I wanted something else, which I declined. Nothing else on the menu really appealed to me, so I said I'd skip straight to dessert. Again, the desserts were good, so at least we ended the meal on a high note. Then we received the bill and were shocked to see that they had not removed the gnocchi (but had comped the dessert). It was $32, which is a lot to pay for a dish that was sent back. I might go back to try the bakery (which oddly is never open when the actual restaurant is) but I likely won't return to the dining room for a very expensive and disappointing meal. read more

Twelvemonth is a plant-based dream come true! If you're anywhere near Burlingame, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Twelvemonth is next level when it comes to plant-based dining -- everything from the design of the space to the seasonal menu is thoughtfully done and absolutely gorgeous. The service? Phenomenal. Our server was super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the food. They walked us through the spring menu and had great recommendations -- we felt really taken care of the entire time. The food itself is insanely good. Creative, elevated, and packed with flavor. The charred snap peas, Nashville hot fried mushrooms with amazing ranch and tamales were standouts. You can tell everything is seasonal and super fresh -- and it's plated like art. Also loved the zero-proof cocktail options -- super inventive and refreshing! Even if you're not vegan, this place will blow you away. Can't wait to come back for the summer menu. read more

Such a great restaurant! Every dish (except the Bauna appetiser) was delicious! I loved the carrot curry and the potted pudding - the mushrooms were great too. A great date or fancy dinner - the ambience was gorgeous! Cannot wait to go back. read more

Twelvemonth - Blueberry cobbler - Vegan Near Me - Burlingame, California

Can I just say that the layout and design, as well as attention to detail in this restaurant was beautiful? Stepping in felt like I was in another city altogether. Regarding the dishes: I'm not a vegan myself, but I enjoy it when vegan or vegetarian food can be made so beautifully that the flavors don't make you feel that you're missing any extra substance. Not only is the presentation appetizing, but the amount of food on a plate is perfect to where you feel perfectly full but not heavy. Every dish had flavors that complimented each other beautifully. It is a little pricey, a lot pricey actually. However, I could definitely see myself coming back just because everything was so delicious. We came for my friend's birthday, and when they saw the note on our reservation, she got a free ice cream with a lit candle at the end of our dinner! read more

Came here for happy hour a couple weeks ago and finally got to check out Twelvemonth after admiring it from the outside. The lavender at the entrance is such a charming touch. The inside is even prettier, with warm lighting and great vibes. Honestly, the restroom might be the most beautiful one in downtown Burlingame! I ordered a floral cocktail from the happy hour menu, which was light and refreshing. The crispy maitake mushrooms were a little on the salty side that day, but I've heard that's not usually the case so probably just a one-off. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a drink, and I'd definitely come back for a proper dinner sometime. read more

If you're anywhere near Burlingame and haven't been to Twelve Wood yet, you are seriously missing out. From the moment we sat down, everything about the experience felt elevated but still welcoming. We ordered the "Burlingame Bombshell," their house-made olives, and the eggplant sliders--and every single bite was outstanding. The flavors were bold, fresh, and clearly crafted with care. The olives alone are worth the visit, and the eggplant sliders were a perfect balance of hearty and refined. What truly made the night unforgettable, though, was our bartender, Oleg. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely warm and engaging--exactly the kind of person who turns a great night into a memorable one. His recommendations were spot-on, and you could tell he takes real pride in what he does. Between the exceptional food, creative drinks, and top-tier service, Twelve Wood absolutely delivers. Can't wait to come back! read more

This is honestly the best dining experience I've had in a long time. I am not vegan, but I always try to eat it if I am dining with my vegan friend. Upon searching Yelp for restaurants, which cater for vegans, I found Twelvemonth. I was surprised to find a fancy restaurant that only served vegan food, and I was excited when looking over the photos of the foods. But, wow! I was not ready to enjoy the dishes (and experience) as much as I did! As my friend and I were selecting what apps and entrees to order, we were also mentally noting on what to order next time. It was funny because we ended up sharing our thoughts, and we laughed how we're already planning for our second visit. What we ordered: - Garden party: I don't remember too much because my friend ordered this one, but (read below)... - Nena: My friend and I ordered the zero proof drinks and these were amazing. It was super refreshing and it tasted yummy. I love water and can always do without, but I am really glad I tried their drinks! Special shout out to the server who convinced us!! I chose Nena because I like fruity mixed drinks. But Twelvemonth doesn't use those gross fake alcohol liquids, so you're probably safe with any zero proof drinks if you're like me. - Potato croquettes: Honestly, wasn't too excited about ordering this one, but it was surprisingly delicious. I'm no food expert, but I'll try my best to describe it... finely mashed and chewy? Kind of reminded me of gnocchi! - Red curry gnocchi: My friend ordered these. She enjoyed it. I think the potato croquette satisfied my gnocchi craving so I did not care too much for the bite of gnocchi I had. - Carrot curry: So delicious. Savory and sweet. Very comforting, and I so so so so very much enjoyed this dish! - Olive oil cake: Sweet and dense. My friend raved the carmel used with this dish. I am looking forward to trying the Crispy Maitake Mushrooms, any house salad and the Fried Apple Hand Pies on my next visit. Although, I believe they rotate their menu, so I hope some of these items are still on here when the time comes. About the setting: - Main entrance is through the courtyard/patio - Lighting: Dim and moody - Main dining area: booths - Dining area also feels like a renovated train station/ barnyard. Similarities in shape/structure--not do much that rustic aesthetic - Two bar areas: Chef's table & bartender (separate room) - Patio has a mini greenhouse--cute concept, but I think it's mainly storage. One tree was growing in there. Pretty cool because they had two noticeable trees in the main dining area Service: Honestly? A bit slow. Although I noticed that, the staff was nice and my experience was still positive. read more

Ambiance: The restaurant features high ceilings and a modern, aesthetically pleasing interior. Large glass windows let in plenty of natural light, enhancing the atmosphere. The decor includes a mix of tapestries, faux and natural plants, and an inviting outdoor area with a couch to relax on, along with a separate bar space. It also boasts one of the coolest restrooms of any restaurant in the Bay Area. The modern couches and chairs are not only stylish but also exceptionally comfortable--perfect for lingering. Service: Service is impeccable. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of being offered both sparkling and still water without needing to ask, which is often overlooked at other establishments. Afternoons here are calm and relaxed, with attentive servers who make sure you're well taken care of. Food: We tried the zero-proof cocktails, and they were fantastic--lightly sparkling with balanced sweet and sour notes, beautifully presented. The food is well-seasoned, and while the menu is somewhat limited (with about 3-4 items per course), each dish is distinct. I'd describe the overall menu as modern American vegan cuisine. The faux meats mimic the appearance of real meat, though the taste is noticeably different. I'd love to see the chef create a main course featuring a house-made protein that doesn't rely on Impossible or Tindle products. Overall: If you're vegan and looking for a fine dining experience, I highly recommend this place read more

Disclaimer...I am a tried and true meat and potatoes, dairy loving type with a somewhat limited appreciation for vegetables. That said, LET'S TALK Plant -Based!!! Some vegetarian friends of ours raved about Twelvemonth and said that we absolutely had to try it. Well, getting me to go too far afield for any restaurant (let alone one that is plant-based) is tricky these days, but when my vegan brother and sister-in-law came to town I decided to give it a try. Not going to lie...I was kind of dreading it...especially after checking out the menu...I mean, Bean Stew? How good can that be? Well, it's my turn to eat crow because I could have bathed in the Fifth Crow Farm Old Indian Woman beans stew. The depth of flavor was incredible and left me wanting to order a second round. We also sampled the Roasted Beets and Bagna Cauda which were excellent, but it was the Crispy Maitake Mushrooms that did have us ordering seconds. They were perfectly seasoned and fried. The whipped ranch put them over the top. I had the Radiatori for my main course and it was superb. It was the perfect balance of acid from the red sauce, herbaceousness from the pesto and creaminess from the ricotta. Another standout was the Yucca Gnocchi which was absolutely mouthwatering. Two folks in our party ordered the Scialatielli...which sounded great as described, but fell short in the flavor department in my opinion. One of the folks said it was fantastic and that I just didn't have all of the flavor elements mixed together in my bite. Others in our party had the Radish Cake and Carrot Curry and raved about both. The desserts were also wonderful. We had the Malasadas and Oat Milk Soft Serve. Very yummy. The moral of this story is that I learned that plant based-food can be absolutely awesome! When vegetables are treated with creativity, care and respect the outcome can be delicious. Thank you Twelvemonth for enlightening me. Aside from the restaurant being absolutely beautiful with different bar and dining spaces both inside and outdoors, I would be remiss if I did not mention the wonderful staff. From the hostesses, to the bartenders, waiters and bus staff every person who we interacted with was friendly, kind, accommodating and helpful. It was such a pleasure to interact with each one of them. I would go out of my way to go back to Twelvemonth, not just for a great plant-based meal, but for a great meal period! read more

We dropped by here for a drink one night and the bar tender was awesome and it looked good inside. So we came back for dinner over a Friday evening. We ordered wine and food. Everything was delicious and the service was great: - our bar tender last time gave us some sampled Riesling. We came back and started a bottle. Loved it too much and we ended it up finishing two bottles. It was economical, crisp and fresh. A bit touch of sweet. Wonderful - roasted beets - it was light and refreshing. Sweet beets came through. Loved it - fried mushroom- love it! Sauce was great and mushroom was perfectly fried with the right texture. - some pasta dish. It was a bit spicy. I am not a big pasta fan. We have some leftover to go - radish cake - my absolute favorite. Great texture and flavor combination. Definitely a must try. - carrot curry - it was more of a Thai curry. Pretty tasty All food was nicely plated. Service was wonderful throughout! We didn't mind that there was no meat/seafood. Loved it! Interior was wonderful. Feeling 'alive' yet polished? They also drew a nice crowd over too. Nice place with nice people. We would like to come back. read more

Twelvemonth has become our go-to spot for meeting friends...sometimes for drinks on their beautiful patio with our dogs, and other times for dinner in their gorgeous, comfortable indoor dining room to catch up or celebrate a birthday. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It's truly a gem of a restaurant. And the best part? No animals are harmed in the making of such wonderful food and great memories. read more

We absolutely love Twelvemonth. It's a truly upscale, world-class plant-based restaurant that delivers both refined cuisine and exceptional hospitality. As parents of a child with serious food allergies, we're incredibly grateful for how carefully and thoughtfully the team accommodates us. Special shout-out to our regular server Hannah--she is outstanding. Always kind, attentive, and extremely mindful of allergies, she consistently double- and triple-checks everything with the kitchen, which allows us to relax and enjoy the experience. The food is phenomenal--beautifully presented, incredibly flavorful, and made with top-quality ingredients. We feel so lucky to have such a sophisticated, high-end restaurant in our neighborhood. Highly recommend. read more

3.5: The place is beautiful and I love that there is a vegan spot in Burlingame! We came here for brunch, the quiche was delish but the breakfast burrito and sliders were bland. I felt like there could be more flavor and creativity here - the sauce felt really heavy. I like the concept of the place and will come back to try dinner / lunch to get a real idea of the place. read more

I'd been looking forward to the Charred Cabbage Salad for a while so it was a letdown when it came out fairly bland and decidedly *not* charred. It has the foundation of a really good dish, but the carrot dressing made it lean too sweet and the ratio of sauce to cabbage wasn't ideal. I love me a good cabbage, but without adequate cooking time or adequate sauce, you end up with a whole lotta raw cabbage. With more salt and more dressing overall, this could be a knockout. The space, however, is beautiful, Gatsby meets The Ahwahnee. And I always love a vegan place that doesn't overly stress its veganism. read more

I LOVE COMING HERE! In my most recent visit I had the opportunity to try the new menu since it's being a while since last time I visited. Order the Twelvemonth salad as with tofu that is my favorite and the truffle ravioli! Everything delicious as always. Our bartender Carla was such a sweet person. She made the recommendation of the ravioli and she did not disappoint us. The drinks were fantastic, I decided to try the new passion fruit martini and it was really good. Bar was beautiful as always it's just the best in all Burlingame area! Thank you Carla for your amazing hospitality. You always make our visits so especial. read more

My first review needed to be for an elite restaurant. Came for a quick visit. Clean everywhere. Restrooms from a palace-like. I had the crispy maitake mushrooms... so good. For main, I had the "not-paella," very good. Very special shout-out to my bartender, Karla Which suggested those items and also made me the best margaritas I ever had. She mentioned she was from Jalisco, Mexico And really does make a difference in who makes your margaritas. Keep up the good work... elite service Elite food. read more

We had a lovely dinner! We arrived early before our reservation and went to the bar to have mocktails and an appetizer. They have several mocktail options; we especially enjoyed the "blue steel", and the totchos were delightful. For dinner, the bean stew and the gnocchi were both rich and delicious. The interior is lovely and very well decorated, and the staff were all very friendly. read more

Ambiance of this place is very nice, it gives me casual Michelin vibes. As a meat eater I really wanted to keep an open mind about the food but i found it to be strange at best and bad for a good amount of the dishes. Prices are extravagant for what you're getting. The service was excellent until after they dropped off the check after which the next two people i flagged down told me they would get my server to deal with the check and finally after about 15 min out of frustration i got up and handed the card to him across the room. read more

I'm so excited to finally try this restaurant. I'm blown away by the ambiance and the creative menu. We had their house salad, sliders, bean toast and risotto. They were all outstanding - excellent balance in flavor (not too oily/sugary/salty) and texture. Worth the wait to get seated. We got awesome service from Hannah. She is also very knowledgeable on the menu and ingredients. The bakery next door has croissants and baked goods. For vegans like me, this is my first time having vegan croissants and omg, my partner and I were over the moon. We'll be back! read more

Been wanting to check this spot out for a while. The restaurant is stunning - high ceilings and plenty of seating. This is an all vegan restaurant and they also have a bakehouse. We ordered the eggplant dip and the beets for appetizers - the eggplant dip was a letdown - was very average, the beets were very flavorful. For mains we ordered the following: - Radiatori - straight forward arabiatta sauce, nothing special - Hot Chicken sandwich - this was so flavorful, definitely a must get - Bahn Mi - standard, tofu was cut too finely Overall, the food was underwhelming but the ambiance is wonderful - would come back for drinks Would give a 3/5 for food, 5/5 for ambience- rounding up to 4 read more

Came here as party of five (3 adults plus 2 little ones). We were seated right away and I think it's probably rare for you to have to wait to be seated here as it's a large restaurant with lots of seating. We got a booth seating which was perfect for the little ones since mine love to stand and eat. The menu had so many good looking options but we settled for the korean salad appetizer, stroganoff, "chicken" sliders and tots. Food was pretty good overall but I didn't really feel like anything blew me away as a vegetarian for about 10 years now. This may be just the place for those who aren't as hardcore plant-based as I am. My favorite was the stroganoff and the kids too! We had other plans for dessert but there were options for those too! Parking is pretty easy, as there's a lot just across the street from the place and also street parking in the area. It does share parking with many businesses in the area though so I can see times where parking may be difficult. The bathroom was also very upscale and nice, definitely worth a visit, even if you don't have to use it. read more

I'm leaving this review because I respectfully emailed the front desk about my experience with an open heart and there was no response. So here we go. I drove over an hour in traffic tonight to try this place for the first time. It's a big birthday and we wanted to cover another couples tab that joined us since they're not vegan and we invited them. We did the prix fixe meal with wine pairings. The portions were TINY. The food was okay. The wine pours were TEENY. Bill came: $700 I am disappointed, still hungry, and underwhelmed read more

Twelvemonth's food was not worth our time and money. I looked forward to this plant-only restaurant- a luxury for vegans to read a menu where every choice is free of animal products. Unfortunately, the entrees' quality was mediocre & didn't justify the premium pricing. Twelvemonth's architecture and decor are very nice. Yet Greens in SF are stunning, and its vegetarian/vegan food tasted much better. At Twelvemonth, no bread or breadsticks were offered. My $32 lasagna was dry and not much tastier than frozen versions I've had. The lasagna's bottom noodle's sides were dried out, hard, and crunchy. This was worse at the corners. To prevent this, cooks can add extra sauce and more cheese to the bottom. The can also avoid heating it for hours before serving. Visually, the lasagna piece sat alone on the bare black plate with no enticing sauce or cheese dripping down the sides, no vegetables. My mates said their $26 falafel plate "nothing special" and the $32 curry was "okay at best." Happily, the lemon semifreddo and potted pudding desserts were of gourmet quality! read more

I came here in the evening for a girls night and I really enjoyed the ambiance when first walking up to the restaurant, it's romantic, modern, and perfect for a dinner of catching up!

Delicious food with a super cute restaurant interior and great service. I am not vegetarian and would honestly never go to a vegetarian restaurant of my own volition but I went with a coworker, and I can honestly say the food here can beat the meat equivalent of the same dish. We got chilaquiles and Korean fried "chicken" sliders, and I was shook at how good each dish was. I would gladly take either of these over the meat equivalent in some cases - eg if you've been disappointed by fried chicken sliders because they've been too oily or heavy or whatever - these sliders were not that, deliciousness only. I would happily try anything on the menu here! read more

I love the aesthetics and attention to detail at Twelvemonth, especially the outdoor seating on a warm day like today. That being said, I sat at a table today missing part of it's edge. The table was made of slate and that missing edge exposed a very sharp edge. Every time I reached for my napkin under the table I was making very slight contact. I didn't notice the damage to my hand until after lunch. Our server went to get a manager to come have a look, but they never came over. I really like this restaurant and the service is always very friendly. So I'm only posting this picture, (and 3 stars) to get managements attention to consider removing that table. Other than that, I plan on coming back, it's a great lunch spot for eating healthy and light. Amended this review on 5/9. Ty for the response and removal of the broken table! No need for any comps, just didn't want anyone else to get cut up. read more

My sisters, mom and I were looking for a cute lunch spot to go to, and we came across Twelvemonth as an option. We don't usually visit vegan restaurants, so we decided to give it a shot! - PARKING - There are several parking lots around the area, just be sure to check payment requirements and time limits! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We actually entered through their bar first, and then were rerouted to the entrance to the restaurant. There's an outdoor patio area and indoor seating area. I loved the jewel-toned decor and interior design, everything felt so elevated! Service was prompt and accommodating, especially with my baby nephew. - FOOD - Maitake Mushrooms: Probably my favorite thing from the meal! Perfectly fried, and not too oily! Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich: There have been times when I ate a vegan meal and couldn't tell it was fake protein - this sandwich, however, I could tell. Still it was a delicious sandwich with fresh ingredients and great flavor combinations! - OVERALL - The ambiance here is amazing, and service is great. I did enjoy the food, but the portion sizes were a bit smaller than anticipated compared to the prices. read more

For my birthday this year, I got to try this wonderful higher end dining experience designed for the plant based eater in mind. It took me way more than twelve months into my vegan journey to get here but better late than never! The chic decor with both indoor and outdoor seating puts this spot on the map. Their fully plant based menu is exciting to see and I was excited to try some of their offerings. Started with their Fried Maitake Mushrooms and the House Bread. The former were the clear standouts: crispy mushroom chips with a fantastic dipping sauce. The bread was good but didn't blow me away as I had hoped. For our mains, we indulged in their Radish Cakes and Italian Dumplings. I enjoyed both of the dishes and their presentations but would definitely go back for the latter. The dumplings were simply divine and topped with edamame and a house cream added to its perfection. My only suggestion would be for them to incorporate some more high protein options into the mix. The use of legumes, tempeh, seitan, etc could really up more of their dishes without losing its culinary integrity. Plus it would get people to eat their "where do vegans get their protein" tongues lol. Thanks Twelve Month for a great experience! read more

Don't underestimate the power of vegetables. The creativity and thought behind the menu feel like something out of a chef movie--every dish is imaginative, balanced, and beautifully executed. It's so refreshing to see a spot fully commit to plant-based ingredients without sacrificing flavor, texture, or presentation. They're not just making good vegan food--they're redefining what's possible with vegetables. Can't wait to come back. read more

Twelvemonth - Roasted beets - Vegan Near Me - Burlingame, California

As someone who is vegan, I appreciate restaurants like Twelvemonth that thoughtfully source their ingredients and prepare tasty dishes. However, their execution falls a bit short: they make the inexplicable decision to divide their menu into dishes that (i) solely can be ordered as part of a prix fixe, and (ii) solely be ordered on the "bar" menu. So if you wanted to order one (or all!) of the "main" dishes on the prix fixe, you're out of luck unless you order the whole prix fixe. When I went there as a party of 2, I would have ordered all of the 5 main dishes on the prix fixe but was told I'd have to order 5 prix fixes (for 2 people). It's really too bad that some of their more interesting dishes are on either side of the menu "fence" . read more
