We’ve been coming to SaltYard in Burlingame for many years, whether for dinner with friends or celebrating special occasions and milestone birthdays. The food is always delicious, and the service is consistently excellent. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. SaltYard never disappoints and remains one of our favorite restaurants. Highly recommended!

    We brought a friend for dinner and had an amazing time, Got to the restaurant at 5PM for the Champagne Sabering and to celebrate Champagne Day! We stayed all night! We had so much fun. The band was great. The food and the service were both outstanding. We loved the wild boar pasta, the beef tartare, the mussels,..... everything was fantastic. Highly recommend.
