Peninsula Restaurants

I booked a reservation exactly 2 months in advance, right when the exact date I wanted was available on OpenTable. I was added notes that it was for my boyfriend's 40th birthday (milestone bday!), and requested to be seated somewhere intimate, preferably a booth. On the date of the reservation, we were running half an hour late. We called to let them know, and Josh on the phone was super kind and accommodating. Complimentary valet parking REALLY helped when we arrived. One of the reasons I chose Selby's is because the ambience looked lovely from the photos. Lemme tell you, the vibes are way better in person. I really enjoyed art deco details such as the lamps, and we were seated in a cozy booth right by the fireplace on the first floor. The bathrooms are also beautiful with lovely lighting. Highly recommend everything we ate! Appetizers: CHESTNUT VELOUTÉ DIVER SCALLOP VÉRONIQUE Mains: PETITE FILET, 6 OZ HONEY LACQUER DUCK BREAST Dessert: HACHIYA PERSIMMON PUDDING 2x Our waitress Serene is SO SWEET. She was very attentive to us all night, and I enjoyed talking to her, and learned that she's a fellow Taiwanese, so it was really lovely to get to learn about her background, what brought her here to the US, and her kids. I tipped her well, and we felt lucky she was our server. Tipped Alex the valet driver as well. Right when we stepped out, we were pleasantly surprise our car was already right in front waiting for us. We chatted with him for a bit, and learned he's from Hong Kong. He was awesome! This experience at Selby's was worth every penny. Highly recommend coming here for special occasions. Definitely want to come back for other occasions, and even check out the bar!

Upscale Casual with a classy edge. Portions are on the larger size so come hungry. Highly recommend the cinnamon rolls.

We love the Village Pub. We are loyal guests coming for 15 years. And though we moved away, we make sure we have dinner here whenever we get back to the bay. Dinner and service last night was top notch again. The duck was phenomenal and so was the truffle stuffed chicken. Followed by the always delicious chocolate soufflé and the beignets. Can’t wait to come back

Great food and staff. Best to come on an early weeknight for dinner. Noise can get loud, but the food and experience is worth it. Awesome seasonal dishes thoughtfully prepared and plated.

What a treat to have this gem in San Carlos! The food was delicious and perfectly prepared, service friendly and attentive and the atmosphere welcoming and fun. Loved having live music and a full bar; will definitely be returning.
