Cave Like Dining Experience in Redwood City

When we walked in Mandaloun, we felt like we entered an exotic European cave where our experience will be unforgettable.



It’s at a great location where we completely enjoyed delicious aromatic foods with flavors that are rich and bold, yet light and distinct. We felt like we were experiencing France, Italy, Greece and many other food loving regions of the Southern Mediterranean Coast all at the same time. 



The best part was the service was excellent and the staff were attentive. We even got to meet the owner who is exceptionally passionate about what the restaurant has to offer.

Dancing...Not with the Stars

So we decided to take up some dancing lessons, specifically hip hop...we were hoping with the new moves learned, we can show off at clubs.



We signed up at CY Dance Studio in Belmont and the place was large, bright and nice speaker where sound projects well. CY Dance Works Studio | LIfe is a Dance, from one stage to the next... These dancers make it look so easy....it's not....it requires dedication, practice, memorization and repetition. Although we can't be on Dancing with the Stars yet, but we are hopeful one day we will make it!!!

Sparkling Wine Celebration


We got to meet the only person in the world to hold both the Master Sommelier and Advanced Certified Wine Professional credentials, in addition, she sabered the Champagne with a sword!!! She did so with panache and flair!!!

It was an evening filled with anticipation, excitement, deliciousness and satisfaction.

We got to taste 5 different sparkling wines and each glass accompanied with food that completely compliments each other which made our enjoyment to the next level.

We started off with popcorn with truffle salt and thyme. Wine of choice: Bortolotti Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry Valdobbiadene Veneto Italy, $15.99


Then we had mini crab cakes. Wine of choice: Dibon Cava Brute Reserve Vilafranca del Penedes Spain, $9.99


Next we had gruyere gougeres. Wine of choice: Rene Geoffroy Expression Premier Cru Brut Champagne France, $49.99


Then we had cornmeal blint with smoked salmon and crème fraiche. Wine of choice: Moncuit Cuvee Pierre Moncuit-Delos Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne France, $49.99

Old Elevator Repair Shop Converted to the Coolest Dining Place

Our first impression before we even enter Oola…..WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!
Oola is a former elevator repair shop converted to a super cool restaurant at SOMA.
A two-story metal and glass door swings out to reveal a row of nine white leather drum-like stools in front of a bar topped with reclaimed wood.

A daring mix of high design and industrial grit, including rough brick walls. It's a style that has been raised to a high art in Europe

Décor is a perfect balance of cool and warm.

We started with grilled octopus with popcorn, paprika and chili oil, which was tender and moist.


For entrée, we tried baby back short ribs with soy ginger glaze and red cabbage apple slaw.


We also had Ora King Salmon w/ ratatouille, spinach, tapenade and herb mouse.


 Food is delicious, unassuming and yet satisfying.
