What User likes about The Refuge San Mateo:
we are here several times and always like the consistent quality of food, service and drinks. Eating options are typical pub/brewery, whose pastrami is one of the highlights. a little bit is that I wish they had more healthier decisions, but that's okay. her beer selection is huge with some on draft (this changes every time we come) and a large selection of bottles and doses. service is always attentive and friendly....

What MelissaS doesn't like about The Refuge San Mateo:
We were a larger party with kids so I understand. However, it wasn't busy at all and the food was not at the standard of the San Carlos location. I loved the larger restaurant and outside seating area. I was surprised for a Sunday at lunch during the holidays it wasn't busier. I may be back here in the future but my preference is the San Carlos location. View all feedback.

Their Tomato Soup is surprising how good it is. Of course, most people love the sandwiches and burgers (the Reuben is ridiculous) and these are delicious too. B...
