Picks:

Town San Carlos Prime Rib

Prime Rib ($32.95) 16oz cut rubbed with garlic & spices, slowly spit fire roasted, served with creamy horseradish sauce and au jus. It came with 2 sides, Asparagus and baked potato. It was tender and very good even with very little au jus.

Town San Carlos BBQ Baby Back Ribs

Kids BBQ Baby Back Ribs ($8.95) with mashed potatoes had good tasting BBQ sauce. Decent sized ribs made it a great value.

Town San Carlos Ice cream Sundae

Kids Sundae ($1.50) was a cool make your own one. Kids will want to drag you back for only this reason.

OK:

Town San Carlos Cocktails Wine

Rasberry Mojito ($7.50) with cruzan st. croix raspberry infused rum, lime juice, fresh muddled mint, cane sugar, splash of sparkling soda tasted fine but had way too much ice.

Town San Carlos Steak

Town San Carlos Brussel Sprouts

Bone-in ribeye steak ($36) 18 oz of black Angus steak, salt and pepper crusted and seared at 1400 degrees with a red wine demi glace. It came with baked potato and a huge portion of sauteed brussel sprouts. It was huge but quality was average and it was not too tender or flavorful. Nice bone-in cut.

Town San Carlos Mac and Cheese

Kids Mac and Cheese ($4.95) was good enough to satisfy kids.

Pans:
None

Town Restaurant serves up high end food in the suburbs of San Carlos with San Francisco prices. At these prices, I would not hesitate driving up to Harris’ in San Francisco instead. The value proposition here is not good. If I lived nearby and wanted to enjoy their atmosphere, I would order cheaper items like the Chicken Enchiladas or Skirt Steak. Town has a kid’s menu.
