Chez Alexander

One night Sonia and I wanted to find a place to have some pasta, and remembered this restaurant on Broadway Burlingame. Stopped, looked at the menu, looked through the window and found everything inviting. We were greeted by Ibo, who promptly took us to a table. We were pleasantly surprised with service, charm, food. Ibo made us feel special. What a treat!. The Linguini Confrutti di Mare (Fresh Linguini noodles poached with seafood, white wine, garlic, tomato basil sauce) and Cesar Salade Classic "Ibo" were excellent. We share one of the best versions of Tiramisu, exquisite! We loved the restaurant so much, we made reservations for three days later on a Saturday night and had another great night to remember! I highly recommend the lamb chops, if offered! Two weeks ago, I took my brother and his wife, and had another excellent experience. I have eaten here three times, and each time has been enjoyable and my rating 9, 10, 8 for each of the three visits. I hope you find a similar experience. We plan to go tonight, Valentine's, with another couple. Cheers! Peter Pros: Greeted promptly, and warmly. Cons: Plan on a longer and enjoyable meal more

After being terribly disappointed by other 'French' restaurants in the surrounding area, we were impressed by the quality of the food, graciousness and attentiveness of the hosts and the romantic atmosphere. We'll definitely become regulars here. Give it a try, you're in for a treat! Pros: Delicious food, wonderful service, romantic more

Wonderful food and service. If you want a quiet intimate place for French style cusine then this is a great choice. It's a small place but great prompt service and good wine. more

Fantastic Dining experience. Nestled in the sleepy town of Burlingame, but part of the hip and trendy downtown scene there, this place is ideal for a good meal, good wine, and nice people. The waitstaff is international with a very French Maitre' D and a Turkish head chef. The food is superb and the courses are well proportioned. They even include orange sorbets in between courses to cleanse the palate. Truly a classy restaurant! Pros: Intimate, Good Prices, Wine Selection more

This is honestly one of the best restaurants i've been to in a long time. Somehow, Someway, they manage to capture a real country European environment in downtown Burlingame! The Tourandos were incredible topped with a layer of goose pate. The melon sorbet they served between courses was divine, and the Asparagus soup was so good I actually had a second bowl! And the baguettes are real, too! I highly recommend this place to everyone and anyone. Pros: Good price, great service!, great atmosphere! Cons: location! more
