Ooh, I'm very disappointed with this place. I spent over $300 on buying little bottles of junk here and when I called the San Francisco salon (because this is near where I live in the first place) to exchange a bottle of make-up in which they gave me the wrong color, BTW, I was told that without a receipt, they can't make an exchange.
Excuse me! The bottle is clearly labeled La Belle, did I make this stuff myself? Could I have possibly purchased it at any place other than their salon? (The answer is a resounding "heck no!") Why then should I get penalized for their mistake? I offered to bring my original credit card statement clearly showing the date of when I purchased it and that wasn't good enough either. Oh you don't want the same thing happening to you, do you? Getting treated that way, I mean.

This place stinks to high heaven! It's amazing how the employees can stand working there. No wonder they're so grumpy all the time!
Go elsewhere.

This restaurant won a 1* Michelin in 2007? Well, those days are long gone too!
Let me tell you what abomination of food we had. Foie gras appetizer $20, passable. Not great, nothing fantastic. As a matter of fact, there was too much crap added to it, and there was a puddle of grease IN the bowl! How unappetizing is that? My friend had the yellow beet appetizer, with exactly 4 pieces of dried-up fresh (yeah right) truffle shavings on top.
Golden beet carpaccio $12. Now how the heck does sournand earthy supposed to match? It didn't even contrast either. Just an atrocious, amateur pairing.
For entrees, I had the Sonoma duck breast $28
According to the waiter, there was supposed to have some type of reduction with it, never saw it on the plate. Crunchy chunks of crap on top of my duck just didn't match once again. My friend had the beef cheeks, a $42 abomination!
Washugyu beef tender loin $42
The French waiter described it as so gelatinous and the ladies especially love it for their skin (like collagen injections -- are you getting the picture how full of it these people are?) since it has been cooking for over 6 hours. What got to the table looked like 2 at the most. Save for a teeny center portion, the meat was tough! How can I describe it, hard, like chewy doughy, as opposed to the melt in your mouth, collagen-filled meat that was sold to us.
If this was Top Chef, Collichio would have already asked the Chef "Did you taste the food before it left the kitchen? The potatoes with the duck were burnt, the spinach was a soggy mess. These are basic, basic things any line Chef could have done perfectly. Where was the skill in what you produced?"
2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 bottles of mineral water = $150 after tip
Do you want to get ripped off too? This is the perfect place if you're in the mood for throwing your money away for one of the most horrendous food experiences I had since a couple of days ago when I went to 16 Mile in Millbrae.

DECOR: As confused as the website. OMG, I don't even know where to start. One wall has cow horns, going for that country look, the other wall has those fake "vintage clocks" that you can buy at Bed, Bath & Beyond (going for more of an old fashioned Italian(?) kitchen look, except the overall effect looks passed it instead. Those were the walls. The tables and dividers between is going for more of a bistro-ish. WTF, right? But wait, there's more!
MUSIC: So this is what they do on a Friday night in Millbrae! For those of you who live in the City like I do, and sometimes wonder why my mortgage is so expensive? This is precisely the reason why. At least San Franciscans do not have to endure restaurants in the likes of this. While we were there, the music went from Elvis, to Ray Charles, to that Dream, Dream, Dream song, to some type of country hee-haw song. WTF again, right?
FOOD: The most disastrous for the entire compotent! We had 2 rib eye dinners. On their website, it was shown as bone in. What we were served, wuzn't! We had the Ceasar salad and Calamari appetizers. Frikkin' disaster! How can you F-up a Ceasar salad? Well, this restaurant did, with dressing straight out of Costco, or something God awful. The Calamari, soggy! It was supposed to be deep fried, for crying out loud. SOGGY!!!!! My dinner mate had a glass of Cab - awful! I had an iced tea (designated driver). We gave up on dessert and anything else. Had a couple of bites of the horrible steaks, and had those to go instead to feed the dog. I honestly feel bad feeding him this stuff. He actually gave me a look when I first served it to him. Are you getting the picture here? Oh yeah, the bill came to over $120.
DON'T EVEN THINK about going to this place!
