    Finally dining in after restrictions have been lifted! We chanced upon Stamp while walking along looking for a place to get lunch. We were greeted by Steve, shown to our table and he explained the menu in detail! Everything we ordered was excellent - the Colorado lamb riblets dish was juicy and not gamey at all, the oxtail stew very comforting, and the duck was tender and tasty. The risotto with the duck was so good, and enough for two people. We were given a complimentary fruit tart which was really good too. The crust was crispy and light, unlike the traditional hard and heavy ones. We will be back! PS. Look for Steve .... excellent service!

    I've come here for both dates and for work functions. It has a really good charm and ambiance for both. The oxtail stew is one of the best things I've ever had. Service is really good!

    GOOD COOKING - Menu has a Mexican twist. Salmon entree was excellent. Tuna poke appetizer was good but small for $18. Kids menu. Need bread service, and fix the lights (dim them). With a few tweaks it could get 5 stars.

    I don't know where to start... everything was beyond excellent. From the food, to the decor, the hospitality, fantastic! I had the appetizer β€œLamb Riblets β€œ to start.... and let me tell you... It was super delicious. Also, the Oxtail Stew a must order!!! Servers here are super friendly, and took the time to go over their wine selection being we are first timers here in San Carlos . The owner himself came over to welcome and greet us. All around great service & excellent fresh food. MUST visit if you are in San Carlos. Thanks.

    Came here last week and was blown away. Just had to come back today and again the food was phenomenal. We've had the ribeye, pork chop, seafood tostadas, and the chile relleno. Both times we've had the white truffle gnocci because they are so delicious. I have to mention that the service here is outstanding. I highly recommend this place.

    I came here on 3/26 for a birthday celebration with a group of 10 and the restaurant exceeded my expectations by a landslide. They called me a few hours prior to my reservation to ask if I preferred indoor or outdoor seating. When I arrived they took excellent care of the table and brought out the food promptly. The drinks and the food were delicious! The service was one of the best I've had in a while. I didn't tell them what the occasion was until I arrived and they even took the time to celebrate with me. Definitely will be coming back again and would highly recommend this place.

    This is my first time here. What a great restaurant. Oxtail was the best I've ever had. Steve the bartender is the best and the cocktails were amazing. Best new place in San Carlos. Definitely will be back

    The food was exceptional. This was my first time here. We got the gnochi for appetizer and it was so good- if you love butter, parmesan cheese and truffle you have to try this! I got the oxtail stew for dinner and it just blew me away. The meat was so tender and the stew was very flavorful and so was the rice. I highly recommend getting this!! My boyfriend got the pork chop and he loved it. The meat was cooked really well and the veggies was delicious as well. We have been really enjoying Stamp. We recently tried their hamburger and it was delicious, the meat was perfectly cooked and the buns were nicely toasted. In my opinion it is much better than the one I had at Johnston Saltbox. TRY IT!! I would highly recommend this place. We are definitely going back!

    Special menu for special day. I think it's a bit expensive than usual. Fettuccine is outstanding. Pork Chop is good. Oxtail Stew Risotto is Not that Risotto... Very disappointed for the desserts, especially Churro.

    It was my seven year old kid's idea to grab lunch there the other day. It was my third or fourth time at the restaurant, but that last time was truly special. The swordfish that I had was impeccable. Sooo good. Gentle. Amazing flavor. My kid had rib eye tacos. OMG. Those were to die for. A decent selection of well selected wines complemented the experience quite greatly. It was an incredible lunch experience.

    A bit disappointing. The food was bland and our server was disengaged. I do like the fact that the leadership are highly engaged in the operation. I think because the place is relatively new there is a curiosity from the locals but you have to give a great experience to keep them coming back and I was not overly impressed.

    There seems to be always reservations available, which is nice! Been eyeing this place and finally got to try it with my parents. Tried Mexican genre this time - ceviche, queso something with mushroom, quesadilla with shrimp (custom order) - all was delicious! Store bought tortilla chips though and the margarita took forever. Next time will come back to try the pastas

  • 5/5 Adi J. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 55 reviews
    Delicious!! Look- I won't complain about the prices because it's a fancyish restaurant, what do you expect? All there is to know is that the service is fast and friendly, and the food is spectacular! Split ahi tuna poke and paella, and neither dish disappointed. Tuna was better than any that ive had in California, and the paella reminded me of Spain!! Desserts- mango Panna Cotta and flourless chocolate cake- stole the show!! Pictures below. Great job stamp!!

    Great vegetarian options on the menu. I had the vegetarian paella w/ a side of sauteed spinach. Scrumptious! Good wines available, too. Fair prices, and great service!

    This place has really good food. The drinks were pretty good too.

  • 5/5 Jim W. 4 years ago on Google
    I don't give 5 stars very often but will because of the great service. The owner, Steve I believe, was very engaged and visited our table frequently. All of our dishes were delicious and fresh. We will be coming back with our family and would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Teri D. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious truffle gnocchi brought me back for this second visit. The skirt steak over risotto will be bringing me back for a third!! So yummy!

  • 5/5 T L. 4 years ago on Google
    Gnocchi and pork sopas were incredible!

  • 5/5 Ross S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had an event at Stamp just for a mixer! Light appetizers hosted by the event. I had the Chocolate Martini.. rich and strong!! Enjoyed it but will try something lighter yet strong next time! Cool place!

  • 5/5 William K. 1 year ago on Google
    A pretty good spot. The menu is quite the eclectic mix, and a bit confusing at first. First time there I did the oxtail stew and it was quite tasty. Second time I decided just to go with something that sounded weird to see what would happen: smoked salmon quesadilla. It's probably a bit of a cheat to put truffle oil on a quesadilla, but damn that was a welcome addition. It was an all out brawl in my mouth, in a good way. I just gotta like the place for being different and really doing things that are familiar but odd.

  • 5/5 Paula B. 2 years ago on Google
    The most engaging and most amazing server, Steve accommodated all of our needs, and they have the best paella that we’ve ever had, the atmosphere is very nice white tablecloths, Music playing, spectacular food and they even steamed my vegetables, the salmon is wild and tastes amazing with a grilled flavor, now my favorite restaurant !!

  • 4/5 Sidney de F. 4 years ago on Google
    Fusion menu, mainly Central and South American, nice bar.

  • 5/5 MJ B. 1 year ago on Google
    The Chamber had an after hours mixer last week-Tuesday. The bar owners hosted the event and provided a beautiful spread - over and above!! Very Gracious Hosts, the set up was beautiful, they were very welcoming, although I never met either of them before, felt like I knew them my entire life! I would dine in here every night of the week! Great atmosphere ❀️ 5πŸŽ–

    Went for girls night out and had a great time. The cocktails were unique and tasty. The poke appetizer was fresh ans flavorful as was the calamari. We shared salad and entrΓ©es and were happy with all of them. Our server was competent and friendly. We loved our flourless chocolate cake for dessert.

  • 2/5 Sachin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Sponsored a 20 people team dinner that I want to make a monthly activity. Good service in a pretty cool downtown area. Three things that left me disappointed are - 1. They close at 9 PM 2. The pre-fix menu was good but the actual items didn't feel value for money I'll find other options for my next month's dinner.

  • 5/5 Dave M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place for a meal or just having a drink and relaxing. They have a good menu and a full bar. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. Outdoor seating has plenty of heaters so even on a cool evening it is comfortable to sit outside. Staff is friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent dinner and wonderful desserts! Thoroughly enjoyed the salmon dinner and seafood linguine. And the key lime cheesecake is to die for! Great atmosphere and service as well.

  • 1/5 claudia t. 11 months ago on Google
    Have never and would never eat at Stamp! These horrible people were my downstairs neighbors. They made my life hell. They argued, yelled at their 2 sons, yelled at me, my friends who came to visit, inconsiderate, nosy, & disrespectful towards me & the country I was born in the United States where I am very proud to live. Rude, crazy & gossipy. Never have I experienced a husband & wife so mean spirited. Angry, nasty & rude. I would never set foot in their restaurant!

  • 5/5 Mark D. 8 months ago on Google
    Excellent meal ! ! Great Service ! ! Super Fast ! ! .. I stopped in with my son because we were playing PokemonGo (suggested area in San Carlos) and we just picked Stamp, somewhat randomly. Very pleased. .. Food was really great. Kids meal (Ribeye) was an amazing deal.

    Had an memorable experience despite the cold and rainy weather. All the dishes were amazing including the service. One of the best restaurants in San Carlos.

  • 5/5 Queenie T. 3 years ago on Google
    I’ve just have lunch in Stamp Bar & Grill in San Carlos. Their food is so yummy especially the Oxtail stew and the Fries. The roasted red pepper soup is awesome and fresh too. Their service is really good and they have outdoor seating too. Before we leave the restaurant offers us a wonderful dessert. I will definitely come back. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    As a local, I’m stunned to have found the BEST oxtail stew in town! You wouldn’t believe how delicious this stew is, it’s absolutely amazing πŸ€€πŸ‘πŸ» I also love their fried stuff! This restaurant has made my day πŸ’• Not to mention that their service is awesome as well βœŒπŸ»πŸ˜„ very friendly staff, I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone

  • 4/5 Hattori H. 3 years ago on Google
    We had couple drinks and chef’s meat tostadas and chicken enchiladas. Both were tasty, especially the meat tostadas. Service was good and he cushions on outdoor chairs is a thoughtful touch. Chicken enchiladas could have had more chicken and less potatoes. β€”β€” Previous reviews Service was ok, outdoor seating was nice, drinks were good, but food should have been better. Appetizers were not very good and not seasoned well. They should stop putting chips alongside watery dips/dishes, no one likes soggy chips. Tables were empty, yet servers were not attentive either. Next day, we went to Pranzi, which is next door and I realized Stamp is not nearly as good in every way. I would only go back to Stamp for drinks.

  • 5/5 TSHIRTS WORLD L. 3 years ago on Google
    A very friendly welcoming place to spend dInner time. All personnel were very well trained, accommodating and helpful (all done with a smile). Everything was handled with efficiency and attention to every detail was given. Food was delicious and outdoor seating was wonderful while dining. Thanks for doing such an outstanding job to make the dinner so pleasurable.

  • 5/5 rowshan a. 3 years ago on Google
    My family and I had a wonderful meal at stamps. The service was excellent and the food was really really good. I was also frequent customer of their previous restaurant in Burlingame. The owner, Steve, was always quick to help with a great bottle of wine and is always courteous and nice as are his staff. I highly recommend this place and would not hesitate to go back!
