The Refuge (San Carlos) Reviews from The Last Year
This was the 4th time I've been here in one year span.
The first 3 times made me want to come back for more. This last time however was disappointing. I came here for lunch. 2 reubens, 1 goofy fries and 2 soft drinks + tip later I'm out almost $100. The reuben this time wasn't toasted well, the pastrami cold and dry not juicy and flavorful, the cheese not melted. It's like someone just slapped a little sandwich together in a hurry. However for $26 a sandwich that's not going to cut it. I won't be back. Hopefully the management reads this review and ups the quality for future customers.
Best Pastrami Ruben in the Bay Area, hands down.
Service is outstanding but not overly attentive. Ambiance is great. Belgian beers on tat as well as an outstanding bottled selection. Gets crowded fast so get there early. Casual dress. I highly recommend this eatery.
The food is wonderful and so is the service but I really
The food is wonderful and so is the service but I really wish they would tone down the obnoxious smelling bathroom cleaner scent. I want to smell the food and the clearer sent is so over powering.
The Refuge is one of our most-frequented San Carlos
The Refuge is one of our most-frequented San Carlos establishments. We learned about it from the sales agent when we were purchasing our condo, and I have since consumed a large volume of pastrami. This place attracts everyone from children to seniors, and the vibes are casual. Food highlights: - Barbacoa nachos - the perfect mix of chips and toppings - Reuben - I always eat one half at the restaurant and one half for lunch the next day. It heats up wonderfully in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. - Goofy fries - their fries are nice and thick. Who can resist a little cheese and pastrami on top? I like the mix of indoor and outdoor seating, the rotating selection of beers, the Tuesday trivia, and the special events (like St. Patrick's day or Pliny the Younger release). My only two complaints (which aren't enough to justify less than a 5 star rating): - There is only one bathroom for the entire restaurant. A line forms during busy times. - Sometimes things get funky with the ordering system (like a drink being forgotten, a wrong item on the bill, or loyalty credits not loading).
I have been in flux with this place.
I've been coming here for years because yes, they have a fabulous Rueben BUT if you're spending $27.00 for a sandwich you want a dang good one. My last one is today. Common people, my money is hard earned and I'm not frivolous where I choose to go. I guess I just got tired of the results.
We went here lunch.
The menu is comprehensive but a bit over priced. The Ruben sandwich is very tasty. They had a branch in Menlo Park but I believe it is close now ( not 100% sure). Beer selection is fine as well. Prepare to pay above average prices but you will like the experience.
I don't go here much because I find the prices ridiculous
I don't go here much because I find the prices ridiculous for what you get, but I do like the chopped salad. I love the dressing, fresh veggies and the sourness of the pickled vegetables. But what you're paying for is the pastrami pieces and what I got was mostly a bunch of inedible chunks of fat. They must cut the ends off that they can't use in the sandwiches and throw it on salads. Just not worth what I paid and I'm not likely to go back.
Went to the refuge after not being there for a while.
Very disappointed. The pastrami was almost tasteless and rubbery. Granted I ordered the pastrami sandwhich plain, meaning no butter and no shellac to help thge flavor, but the meat itself should be smoked and prepared properly. It was awful. The waitstaff was pleasant and attentive, but i went for the food. And beer was overpriced...
The food is always great.
But shrinkflation hit this restaurant with my chopped salad.! Come on Refuge, I came there, hungry and left hungry wtf? Service as usual is great
In my search for a delicious Pastrami sandwich, I found
In my search for a delicious Pastrami sandwich, I found myself at this place across the bay from me. Although it was expensive, I found it pretty tasty. I had it stripped down with just mustard on Rye. The fries were good, but could have been hotter. Nice, friendly service.
Great Cheese Steak
2nd time, much better than the first time in Menlo Park, outdoor seating helps those with hearing problems, Cheese Steak & fries were fantastic more than I could eat. A little pricey but I would go back.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
