"We had a very nice waitress, good service. however, the kitchen was very slow. We ate on the patio. would recommend that the restaurant clean up the patio. In addition to serving food there, it appears that it is also used as a storage area for excess tables, mops, etc."

"We had a 6:45 reservation, I explained to the waitress that we had tickets to the theater at 8:00. We chose items from the appetizer menu that provided more than enough for us. We were served promptly and completed our meal in plenty of time for the show.
We had the shrimp, calamari, and saganoci(sp?), all of which were very good.

"Food was overall very good!! The only thing was that the server we got was not too friendly and she also told us that there was no charge for the salad then when we got the bill we saw that she did charge for it then she tried to explain saying that there was no charge for splitting the salad but she didn't explain herself correctly!! But our overall experience was good we will go back because the margaritas calamari warm bread chocolate cake and the food were really good!!!"

"new find in downtown Redwood City. Made an Open Table reservation about 1 hr ahead of time and had a table reserved in the cozy front room by the fireplace. The rest of the restaurant is a rather lärge room, a bit noisy. The service was outstanding, the food good, and they brought me some ice cream on the house for my birthday! great wine list, moderately priced."

"Mandaloun is operated by a former sous-chef from Evvia. The food is as good as Evvia, and you don't have to fight for a reservation. A great find - we will be back!"

"Beautiful place, attentive servers, good food. Lamb riblets (small plates) were delicious, Greek salad fresh, if uninspired. Moussaka tasted great, but presented unusually. Went with 3 others, shared food and overall I'd say the fod was quite good, not great. Perfect for a pre-event dinner before we went to the Fox Theater. Will return!"
