The Mountain House Woodside Reviews
Food, service & ambiance were impeccable.
You feel like you were transported, literally dropped, into a wilderness setting. The only detriment was the drive from Walnut Creek....incredibly long.
My partner and I came to The Mountain House celebrate our
My partner and I came to The Mountain House celebrate our second anniversary, and we had a wonderful dinner. The food was fantastic, and they had solid vegetarian options. The service was great, and they even gave us free appetizers and cake to celeb
Truly a magical wilderness experience.
I felt like I was in a cottage in the woods but so in a castle at the same time. The dinning room was beautiful. When i went it was foggy so it felt like a bob ross painting. Overall I really enjoyed it. The food was also good. I had the vegetaria

We had a fabulous evening at the Mountain House, our server Robyn was a delight, and the young fellows running food were enthusiastic and clearly engaged in learning and honing their skills and knowledge in the restaurant business! The Forest Room is
Five starts plus.
The ambiance of the glasses room is incredible- nestled in the redwoods while the summer sky melts into pink. The staff was terrific. Attentive, knowledgeable and working as a seamless team. The prefix has something for every taste. The food was de
My wife and I navigated through the redwoods to find this
My wife and I navigated through the redwoods to find this gem and we were pleasantly impressed. I had the butchers steak, and she had the bison burger. Both delicious and presented beautifully.
The Mountain House is a restaurant that takes you back in
The Mountain House is a restaurant that takes you back in time to a peaceful, tranquil setting in the forest among towering trees. It's a short 25 minute drive from Half Moon Bay to a place far different than the waves and sand below it. Set i
This spot is magical and romantic.
Definitely worth the drive. There is a dining room menu and a slightly adjusted bar menu. We have never gotten it to make a reservation and have always sat in the bar. We have enjoyed the food (on this visit, we shared the salmon entree, potatoe/leek

I really loved this restaurant the first time I came here, which is why I travel and spend the night to come eat here. I think the menu had just changed so we were disappointed there weren't any artichokes on the menu but that's life with a
I was the guest at a wedding this past Friday night.
As we drove away, my wife and I both, in our own ways, were raving about the quality of service we experienced. We came early to help set up, and the staff was generous with their help, friendly and easy to deal with, and made that part of the proces
We decided to visit this place after a long hike.
When we got there, we realized we needed a reservation so tried it again last weekend after another long hike but this time I made reservations. We were seated in a room with glass ceiling an wall to wall windiws, so you had a panoramic view of the b
The service is impeccable here.
There is a kids menu which helps since kids don't care about the fancy tasting menu as much as adults do. If you reserve beforehand for the greenhouse seating, it's all worth it, especially when the fog is coming into the woods. They made m
The service was excellent, warm and welcoming.
The food was worth every penny. Each dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious.
A local attraction high in the hills
My wife and I had date night at this restaurant on the recommendation of our daughter. It is located up in the mountains above Half moon bay. The road at night is an adventure with many turns and no street lighting. Deer are a threat. Parking is h
A beautiful setting and a delicious dinner!
The Mountain House in Woodside offers a delicious multi-choice 3 course prix fixe dinner. We ate there last night and enjoyed our experience. I started with the beet salad and my husband loved his scallop appetizer. He ordered the pork for his main
Five star restaurant
Excellent service, excellent food, beautiful setting among redwood trees, three course dinners in main dining or bar menu in bar area. Highly recommend.
The view, the food & the exceptional service - it all rises
The view, the food & the exceptional service - it all rises to a remarkable experience. Just go to Mountain House, you'll probably need reservations. It's remarkable. You won't regret it.
The forest location of the restaurant was beautiful.
However, during our dinner the room was uncomfortably hot for the entire evening. Also, the prices on The Mountain House's website are not accurate; online they were written as $74 per person, but the menu price was actually $82.
Wonderful food, wonderful rustic ambience--a great value
Wonderful food, wonderful rustic ambience--a great value compared to most tasting menus. Great bar with delicious drinks. Make a reservation before this place gets the Michelin and you can't get a seat. A hidden gem.
Came here for Easter brunch.
.. and to echo another review, the whole experience was disappointing. TL;DR: Unacceptable service for fine dining. Food was decent but had prepackaged mixes and overall nothing special. You have way better options in Woodside at a similar price ran
DISAPPOINTED.
Not coming back. We did our dinner rehearsal here 15 years ago. This is our go-to place for special occasions and also for coming over just to have a nice dinner. We love this place. We were sad when Lori & Jerry closed the business. When we hear

Beware!! Since the food, staff, and ambiance were so delightful, dinning at the Mountain House can be very habit forming. My wife and I just had a wonderful experience there and are certainly planning on repeating it.

Great scenery, food was pretty good, the service was awesome. Would visit again, it's perfect for a new date night.
Top quality food and service.
Had the venison and it was very tender. Atmosphere in the redwoods can't be topped.

We reserved a 5:45 pm table in the Forest Room, to allow a little time to see the room during sunset and eat at a decent time, not too early from our normal schedule. As others have commented, it's a beautiful space. With the glass ceiling, we were a

My husband took me here for Valentine's Day, and it was exceptional! I really enjoyed everything! The food was outstanding, our server was great, and the ambiance was very romantic and cozy. We sat in the main dining room, and there was a heated vent
A nice retreat to a setting reminiscent of a secluded spot
A nice retreat to a setting reminiscent of a secluded spot in the Sierra. The Mountain House has not lost what most restaurants have in the Bay and that is wonderful service. The food is excellent and the ambiance warm and welcoming.

I want to begin by saying it's one of the most amazing restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. You could be dressy or casual to come and have a beer with some Chips but I urge you to come for a date night. The servers were absolutely friendly
Though my wife and I live in San José.
..The Mountain House has fast become our "local" hang out. Love everything about it. Both the bar menu and now the prix fix menu in the Forest Room and main dining room. Love that you can choose--and that each menu and room is so different.
I was sad to see The (old) Mountain House close its doors
I was sad to see The (old) Mountain House close its doors for good during Covid. I was happily surprised to see it open a year later under new owners and chefs. (Yelp is treating it as the same business as before, but since when does accuracy matter
Great service and the food was excellent.
The bread and the homemade chips were delicious. We both also really enjoyed the pasta and dessert. My husband loved everything including the drinks. The only thing preventing me from going monthly is the drive. It was a lovely experience.
From Spain
How I would like to meet him! I hope I can travel to the USA soon and have lunch or dinner at Mountain House reliving the filming of Harvest Moon.
December in the mountains…
So quaint and rustic. Perfect atmosphere for this time of year. There were tables in the window enclosed room and tables by the fireplace. Being so dark outside, we were glad to have reserved the fireplace seating. It was a prix fixe menu so we
GO CHECKOUT THE MOUNTAIN HOUSE RESTAURANT IN NORTHERN CA!!!
We’re back baby! First review post-COVID. Walked in out of the mountain fog and fresh off a mountain hike into a charming 100 year old house in the middle of the woods. Met by a bunch of tall pines, fog, a carved statue of Neil Young and the nic
Wonderful food at newly reopened Mountain House Restaurant
Despite having a tree branch go through the roof a few weeks ago, the Mountain House has newly opened under new management after almost a year of being closed. The food was wonderful. I had the cauliflower soup, the trout and the donut and all wer
Connect with users posting reservations for The Mountain House Woodside
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Mountain House Woodside. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Mountain House Woodside at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Mountain House Woodside page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at The Mountain House Woodside to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Mountain House Woodside!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
