Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Foster City

We are new to the area and we found this restaurant on OpenTable. It was my husband's birthday and I wanted a place that was quiet, great food & wine and service. The Iron Gate far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back. Our waiter, Stamos, was fantastic! His recommendations were spot on. We had escargot to start. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We then had their signature salad which was prepared table side. I don't think I've ever had a better salad. For our main course, we had the Iron Gate version of lamb (there was also a New Zealand rack option) and the veal parmigiana. Both dishes were perfectly cooked and just phenomenal. For dessert, we had the grand mariner souffle and it was incredible. One of the best things about the restaurant was watching all of the flambe dishes. The servers were just so precise and you could tell they are passionate about giving each diner an experience.

I took my client to dinner here. Food was great. I had the petite filet and some steamed veggies, and we split an order of brussels sprouts with bacon. My client had the porterhouse. We enjoyed it very much; service was great, waiter was friendly but not overbearing. This restaurant is now definitely on my list of places to go for business dinners.

Our serving gal was the sweetest person! One of our party was delayed but she never pressured us. We enjoyed the price fix menu. The selection is amazing. The portions are a very good size. We were all able to sample each other’s choices. I am a long time fan of the Chou Chou at Forest Hills in SF so am incredibly pleased they opened one in the Peninsula.

Excellent value for your money. Entertaining Asian fusion dinner.

It’s a very nice place. Good menu. Very good service but I’ve been twice and the place is empty. Today there was only one other table occupied. Maybe a good review will help.
