"Found John Bently's on google and decided to make reservation without even reading reviews. Called on a Friday night (June 14) for a 9:30 reservation and the man answering the phone said they were full. When I explained we were picking up our son at the airport at midnight, he put me on hold to do..."uble check. He came back on the phone and said that the kitchen would close at 9:30 and if we would get there before that time he would sit us as the last customer. He asked about where our son was flying in from and we proceeded to have a very nice conversation. During our conversation, he introduced himself as "John" the owner.
I went back to the website and read that John was not only the owner, but the chef.
When we arrived at the restaurant we would immediately taken to a table for two by the hostess. Then, Rebecca, our server asked if we wanted sparkling or still water and proceed to attend to every need. We never had a chance to ask for anything, she and the other wait st...

"Walked to downtown Redwood City and decided to try this new restaurant. We were immediately greeted and seated at a window table. Our server, Mariana was attentive and promptly brought our drink orders. The menu had several items that sounded good. We ordered the grilled ginger salmon and two bl..."ue cheese steaks.

"Our group needed a meeting before going to work on a Saturday morning and this was an excelllent choice for breakfast. The site was covenient for everyone off the freeway and we were given a large table. Although it lacked privacy, we were able to discuss our business matters with no problems. Th..."e server, Yuritzi was very good. We had three different types of omlettes, two summer pancake orders, a summer pancake full breakfast, and the Tiramisu pancakes. The Tiramisu order was delicious. Certainly recommend. We were allowed to sit and discuss matters without interruption but Yuritzi was very attentive when more coffee was needed.
