    Gonna be staying in Burlingame, at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel @ SF Intnl. Airport. In town for my sisters Masters Degree graduation and we want to find a nice restaurant nearby the hotel for dinner. Anyone have suggestions?
    The hotel is at 600 Airport Blvd in Burlingame...
    I know I could Google restaurants in the area but I am hoping to get first hand recommendations...

    Thanx for any help you BASKers can give!

    Ryan,

    there are a ton of great restaurants nearby....

    My first choice would probably be Kincaids. Right on the water, very near your hotel and the food is excellent.

    Broadway Grill to get your Prime Rib on....

    Sakae Sushi is one of the best in the Bay Area, but pretty small

    Kuleto's for italian food. Nice, but a bit pricey

    Il Fornaio for italian. see Kuleto's

    If you like Indian food, Roti Indian Bistro is a really good restaurant in the heart of downtown Burlingame (they also have a location in SF)

    Here is their website
    http://www.rotibistro.com/

    You can see their menu here

    *Their Lamb Korma curry is super yummy, and their Keema Naan bread is not to be missed

    If you are hankering for some authentic Dim Sum, then Fook Yuen in Millbrae is a MUST! Forget all the dim sum joints in Chinatown, they cater to the tourist, and most of the stuff they serve you is frozen from pre-packaged stuff they buy at the factories.

    You can call ahead for a "number". On Saturdays they are SUPER packed with lines waiting out the door. If you get a number ahead of time, call in and tell them your estimated time of arrival. The food is delish (if you aren't hard-core, avoid the chicken feet ;) ). It's worth braving the crowds for. :razz:
    *If you go on a week day for dim sum, it is MUCH more civilized. Best hours for dim sum are 11:30am thru 1:30 pm. After 1:30, the selection might not be as good, as the kitchen starts winding down on production.

    Good luck!
