The Story

About Alder & Oak

A wood-fired restaurant in the heart of Downtown San Mateo, serving seasonal California cooking since 2017. The menu changes with the market, the wine list leans local and small-production, and the room, and the heated patio out front, were built for long dinners with the people you like most.

"The ribeye off the wood fire was the best steak I've had on the Peninsula. Booked again before we left."

"Our anniversary dinner on the heated patio. Warm, unhurried, and a wine pairing that was spot on."

"Sat at the bar solo, left feeling like a regular. The pappardelle is a must."

Frequently asked

Do you take reservations?

Yes, and we recommend them, especially Thursday through Saturday. The bar and a few counter seats are kept for walk-ins.

Is the patio heated?

Yes, the street-side patio is heated and covered, so it's comfortable most evenings year-round. Ask for it when you book.

Can you handle dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. There's always a vegetarian option, and a vegetarian tasting menu is available on request. Tell us about allergies when you book.

Do you do private events?

Yes. We have a semi-private space for groups up to 20 and can buy out the room for larger parties. Call or email and we'll plan it with you.
