There are dozens of reasons to visit rustic yet refined restaurant 31^st Union. Their beer, wine, cocktails, and other refreshments are top notch, and are a highlight at this comfortable eatery. Whether you choose to stop by for happy hour cocktails (like the Moscow mules on tap), or stay on for a relaxed dinner of a few small plates, 31^st Union is bound to fit the bill. 

The cheese and charcuterie boards make great starters, and they also offer larger entrees when a hearty meal is what you’re craving. The braised beef stew and wood fired chicken are the ultimate comfort foods, and the house made gnocchi with roasted butternut squash is the stuff dreams are made of.  31^st Union is a somewhat small, but that adds to its cozy atmosphere. Be sure to make a reservation, especially if you’re coming on a busy Friday or Saturday night. 

31^st Union is right in the middle of downtown San Mateo on South Ellsworth Street.
