    Finer dining on the Peninsula: Dine at John Bentley's and you'll be happily surprised that its somewhat random location lends you to a quiet, romantic evening with attentive staff and delicious details in the dishes. I loved all my options as a vegetarian and I recommend this restaurant to anyone who eats meat. No gloppy sauces, just the right amounts of dressing. I look forward to having an excuse to eat out in style there again!

    The two Bentley's are a dichotomy: Despite co-ownership, Bentley's "El Camino" and Bentley's "Woodside" have very different atmospheres. El Camino has the subtle 50's decor bar and the central location. Woodside has the fireplace and the "Portola Valley" dress code.

    To give the kitchens some credit, he food at both locations is consistently good. Presentation sparkles and dishes aren't unique but, they are flavorful.

    The difference is service, El Camino has some catching up to do, which is expected at a new(er) location.

    It isn't that either restaurant is lacking, so much as the "desired" demographic varies.
    If "classic dining and old school romance" is desired go Woodside.
    If "new school" cocktails and "flavah" is the ticket, go El Camino.

    Bon Appetit
