Paul Martin's American Grill San Mateo

I would give them an overall of 3.5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 Nice casual spot. You could dress up and go there as well. There are TVs at the bar to watch some games. Service: 4/5 We came for Happy Hour so we sat in the bar section. Our server is a nice guy but 1 of our orders was not correct. Food: 3/5 Cheese Hamburger: It was ok but we were never asked how we wanted our burger cooked. Normally eat it Medium but it was well done. The cheddar cheese was ok but it looked like a thin slice of cheese. We ordered it with bacon but did not originally get the bacon so they provided it to us in the side. Cajun fries: Came with burger. They were soggy and needed more seasoning. Very disappointing. Shrimp tacos: They were ok. Think it would be better if the tortilla was warmed up and not cold. Flavor was ok. Buffalo Cauliflower Bites: I liked these. Then coated layer to provide the crispiness. Liked how the sauces were on the side and not poured over. Warm butter cake: Best dish of the night. Came in it 's on skillet and loved how it was on the thinner side. Edges were crispy. Glad we ordered it.

The food was 2/5 stars. The 2 stars definitely go to the butter cake and spinach artichoke dip. We were a table of 14 and our server was amazing. This review is solely based on the food. Pricing is mediocre. We had more than 3 people order Ribeye it was tough, no matter how they had theirs cooked. Tough and chewy! Mashed potatoes, no flavor they were white like no butter was put into them. Fried Calamari was salty.... Drinks were okay. The service and waitress we had was amazing, i would love to point that out!

Overall mediocre food. Appetizers (3-4/5): I went with a group of people for dinner and got to try several apps including tuna poke and pita bread with spinach dip. All just average, not bad, nothing memorable Seafood pasta (2.5/5): while the presentation was amazing, it really lacked flavor. I ended up having just a few bites (I love pasta in general). They didn't skimp on seafood which was good. Churro with ice cream (5/5): very good, not too sweet. Would recommend!

I went here when they first opened a few years ago and I remembered it being really good. Went here for dinner tonight and what a disappointment. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and returned it. That's how bad it was. They gave us a free dessert to make up for it and the dessert was so generic tasting. I had one bite and that was not even worth the calories. Weird how everything just taste so generic and bad. Not worth wasting your calories to eat here!
