All Spice is an upscale, one of a kind restaurant in San Mateo nestled in an unassuming Victorian residential house. It’s easy to overlook, because it doesn’t quite scream “fancy restaurant” if you were to drive by. However, once you step inside, you’ll be convinced; It’s modern and sleek with the right touch of hominess to make you feel at ease and ready to chow down on a delicious meal.

The chefs utilize local and seasonal ingredients in all of their dishes, creating unique meals for all guests. It’s a fabulous celebration spot, be it an anniversary, birthday or regular old holiday, and they even rent out space for large parties. The menu itself features New American fare, with dishes like autumn duck breast, seared dayboat scallops and butternut squash-sage gnocchi. It’s basically the perfect date night spot!
