Reviews for number5kitchen in San Carlos, CA
Incredible Neapolitan style pie for not having a wood fired oven. Definitely try the summer squash white pizza. Delicious.
Melon and chicory salad as well as the strawberry salad are delicious! Locally owned, run by husband and wife, this side of... Laurel St. has a gem. Menu change with the season to keep items fresh and offer new surprises. I am going back, a lot! Read more
Absolutely delicious. This restaurant is really "down-to-earth" or farm-to-table as you can get. It is a small joint where the... chef prepares the dishes himself. It really feels like homestyle cooking more than a restaurant. The interior is simple, justlike the dishes. Plenty of wood, clean lines, chairs. The plates and utensils complement this principle. Again very wellbalanced. The food is absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients. But perhaps too much so? It really didn't feel like we wereeating at a high-end restaurant which the prices might suggest. The only reason for the 4-stars rather than 5 is due to theprice and the value you get. The restaurant is priced as a high-end restaurant while foregoing the niceties of a ambience, themood and the glamor associated. Perhaps different people value different things from the price you pay. But for me, a bit toosteep for what you get. Out of everything we ate, the steak was the most disappointing (although yummy compared to otherplaces). The middle wasn't too cooked at all, despite us asking for medium-well-done. Also the fries were soaked in the au juswith peppercorns sort of dancing around. The roasted chicken was to perfection. Tasteful without garnish. Pasta Bolognese wasagain homely. And the burrata was magnificent with well interpreted snow pea paste and imaginative strawberry preparations.Again, very well done. I respect the chef and what they are going for. And I really hope this place prospers. Thank you for themeal. Read more
What a gem! I am so happy I found this restaurant. The food is so fresh and delicious. It's a small menu, but that didn't matter... since everything we ordered (starters, main, dessert, drinks) was amazing. I even ordered a second scallop crudo appetizerbecause I couldn't get over how incredible it was. The owner was very gracious and introduced himself to us. And the prices werereasonable considering the quality and presentation of the food. It is well on its way to a Michelin recommendation. Read more
What a great place! The atmosphere was very good, and the staff and owners were super friendly. I got the Green Egg and Ham,... which had a poached egg over an english pea puree, bread, and pork 2 ways. A wonderful take on Dr. Seuss' dish! Dessert was ameringue with lemon curd, with citrus and crushed pistachios. A delightful blend of flavors, wish I had more! Read more
Awesome and Wholesome are the two words the come to mind when describing this new restaurant. The chef here clearly cares a lot... about using quality, fresh and local ingredients. The menu seems carefully designed to show off the natural tastes and freshness- simple in style but done perfectly to let the ingredients speak for themselves. Love the coffee here also - better thanPeet's. Pancakes are heavenly and the bread are so good... Read more
Creative twist of your regular brunch menu which looks spectacular but came out short on the taste. It's not bad, it's just not... busting in flavor. The pricing though just doesn't justify the taste nor the setting. It's like eating at the only restaurantsomewhere 200 miles away from civilization but food presentation is only better. The people who run the place are very friendlyand welcoming and I hope the menu changes over time. Read more
I went there after reading quite a few reviews. May be you should have taste for this. I mostly had pizza in papa Johns ,... dominos , pizza huts etc.. The Pizza I ate here way off my expectation. As I South Indian it felt more like chapati. This wasnot for me for now. Read more
