Hey there, I was doing a draw inspection this morning for a 203k loan in Burlingame CA & as I pulled into town I realized I was a little early. I had been wanting to try the House of Prime Rib there for quite some time but never found myself near there during a meal time. Drat!

But here is was, 12:30 pm and I was going. I waited for another person to open a parking place for me and pulled in. Something was wrong..it was a 24 minute parking space. NOT going to work. I need more time with prime rib, mmm. I walked to the door to find it was closed. They only open for dinner I guess. Wow, major bummer. 

About that time I see to guys coming out of the Italian restaurant next door. I asked them how they liked it.. they weren't together but both shared what they had and said it was excellent. I walked in to see the place empty and asked John, the proprietor where everyone was. He answered "it is the restaurant business", busy one day and not so buy the  next and you never know which way it will be. 

I told him about the parking when he suggested I move my car to one of the spaces about to be vacated by the two that had just left the restaurant. I moved my car and almost headed to Benihana's across the freeway which is another of my favorite places. Something told me to go ahead and try this place.

It was Cafe' Figaro at 1318 Broadway, Burlingame

I asked if they had any specials today, John offered Salmon or Cod I believe it was, I tried the Salmon. I must say, when he served it, it took my breath away... it was a large dinner portion... I blurted out... that is a lunch portion... he laughed as he walked away. 

It was all answered in a moment, with the first bite. I fell in love with it. Wow, a taste you just can't get enough of. While my first thought was to take half of it home and have it for dinner, I ended up eating it all and sopping up the juices with my bread. Fantastico, I can't say enough. This has to be the best kept secret in Burlingame. 

The Salmon was cooked to perfection, so many over cook salmon but this was just right, propped up a little by some mashed potatoes of the likes I've enjoyed at Spagos, some vegies that includes broccoli, carrots, and two kinds of squash.  I had to compliment the chef on the way out and service matched the taste. What a fantastic place, if you haven't tried it you are missing something, Burlingame. I told them I'll be back with my wife soon. M
