Restaurants That Take Reservations on the SF Peninsula

86 places in 18 towns

Every restaurant here accepts reservations, so you can lock in a table instead of waiting at the door. That matters most for weekend dinners, larger parties and popular downtown spots. San Mateo and San Carlos have the most options. Some places book by phone and others online, and many still hold a few tables for walk ins, so ask if you decide last minute.
