"We were staying at a nearby hotel and visited the restaurant on our last night in San Francisco. After reading wonderful reviews, we were very disappointed. The food was fantastic, but the service was not good.
The restaurant was not busy, but the waiter took a little while to get to our table. We ordered drinks, and my martini was supposed to have blue cheese stuffed olives (per the menu), but came with regular. We had to wait and wait on our drinks to the point thatwe were having to drink water with our meal.
This was enough for me to call the manager and complain. She did credit me for the two martinis and apologized. Like I said, the food and drinks were very good, but there was no excuse for that service. It was reflected in my tip."

"The food was fantastic, the ambience was fantastic, the bottomless Mimosas was great, the staff was courteous, fun, and so attentive! The prime rib and the crab claws were so tasty and made to perfection. Everything we ate was just so delicious & satisfying. Can't wait for next Mother's Day!"

"We recently had Mothers Day brunch here...it was a $39 champagne/ mimosa brunch. Pretty good deal for what they served: crab, prime rib, eggs Benedict, omelettes etc. Service was friendly, not extremely prompt, but he always smiling, which made me smile. We had a nice time."

"I met a friend for Sunday brunch and read some good reviews on Yelp. Our reservation was at 11am and when we arrived, we thought we were in the wrong place. THere was lieterallynot another soul int he restaurant and apparently, they only have brunch on the weekdays. Oh and breakfast isn't served after 11 on Sundays.
I wanted pancakes. I had to get a burger. The food was meh and the experience was a total bummer. They didn't even have mimosas. No wonder it was 1,000 points. Total bummer."

"Found this restaurant in 1000k points in Burlingame. We were going to the Hiller Museum in San Carlos and wanted to try something different. there were many good reviews and the points were a plus so we decided to give it a try. Way beyond what we expected. It is in the Doubletree Hotel so we didn't expect much but we were wrong The staff is warm and caring and the food is unique and well prepared. They have draft wines which were delicious. One white and one red. I had the white and it was so good my friend had the red and it was a bit on the dry side. Our server Carmen was fantastic. She was attentive,warm and professional. we will definitely go back. Very open comfy space for a relaxing time with above average food and service."

"We never think about going to hotel restaurants since we are local residents but we were pleasantly surprised! The starters we tried, the warm olives and roasted brussel sprouts were so yummy and different from what you find at most "american" dining type places. There was a nice choice of main entrees too!! Server was very attentive and pleasant. We hope to return!"

"You normally don't associate creative small plates & a well-edited wine selections with a hotel restaurant, but 37 North at the SFO Doubletree was an unexpected and very pleasant surprise. The Brussels Sprout Leaves with Bacon appetizer is a must try. Each dish we shared had a combination of flavors to savor. The service was exceptional and accompanied (Friday night) by a really good jazz trio that provided just the right background music. The gelato & sorbet dessert was the perfect ending to a delightful experience. We enjoyed it so much that we returned again a few days later again before flying home. If you are staying at another SFO hotel(or live nearby) you should put 37 North on your list and support the great job they are doing!"

"We were pleasantly surprised by our Easter breakfast (not the more elaborate brunch) yesterday at 37 North. We always enjoyed the Chutney Grill, but since the remodel, name change and Open Table listing, the whole restaurant scene at the Burlingame Doubletree has been upgraded! Lovely surroundings. Sumptious hot buffet for $15. Outstanding, friendly service from the maitre d' (or was he manager?) to the waitress (Lisa), and Abdul, who is one of the bakers. Our grandson, missing the Easter Bunny who was always present at the old Chutney Grill, was delighted to make the acquaintance of Abdul, whom he decided was The Muffin Man. Abdul brought muffins to our table and posed with our grandson for a photo we all love. Thank you!"

"Our group really enjoyed our night out. Everyone's food, and we ordered a variety, was very good. The service was fantastic! Manager came by several times and server was very helpful. Bartender even came by to answer questions about a specialty cocktail. As the restaurant is inside a DoubleTree Hotel and located a distance from any residential area, it clearly does not attract many diners beyond those staying at the hotel. Too bad, the locals are really missing out! Only suggestion would be to add 2 - 3 more entrees to the menu."

"This is a new restaurant in the Burlingame area, recently renovated from the former Chutney Grill inside the Doubletree hotel. The food was excellent. Everything we ordered was served hot and fresh. We will definitely be recommending to friends."

"This was the most outstanding experience. When our group walked in without even checking in yet, the manager looked at me and said Jeanne Fields and I was blown out. Then when we all sat down he mentioned (which is what I mentioned on the reservation on open table) that there was a Gluten free person with us and he addressed this immediately. The food outstanding, the service was top notch there was a dessert and drinkt two people did not like and they immediately offered something else and took it off the bill without us even mentioning it. The entire night was outstanding and we will all be back for sure."

"I throughly enjoyed my dining experience at this fine restaurant. My skirt steak and my companions Pork Chop were outstanding. The service was just wonderful - Lisa was very professional. A wonderful waitperson. John, our host was incredible as well. They were an awesome team. I go to a restaurant not only for the quality of food, but for the service provided and these two were truly remarkable. Not only is the food outstanding, but you are treated royally by this fine staff. Enjoy and partake this Burlingame dining treasure."

"Food was very good. Limited menu but the pork chop was excellent and the short ribs really good. House made pickle was great. Would have liked to try more but we were not that hungry and had to get to airport for a flight. Would be good to have more bread choices. Felt like cafeteria style rolls. Good but strange with the type of food they serve.
Service was OK. Our waiter did bring us everything we needed and was not hovering. Brought refills on the diet coke quickly. However, the bus person really needs to stop chewing gum or whatever he was chewing. Looked like a cow chewing. Really disturbing.
Also, put a better steak on the menu. Nice filet or rib eye would be good."

"The service & the ambiance is good. We just wish that the food would be consistent & have more "wow". It's safe to say that the food could be boring. The waitstaff is very good & quite attentive but it's because the restaurant is empty. The hotel needs to find a way to attract more customers in. 1000-pt deal by Opentable is good but it needs to send out flyers or coupons to neighborhoods closed by."
