Always welcoming and friendly, consistently high quality food and wines. A nice, relatively quiet atmosphere where you can actually speak and be heard across the table. I like the fireplace and have never been uncomfortably hot or cold, unlike another reviewer. We come here for special occasions.

Came with friends for a special occasion. Dining area dominated by fire place which was belting out a lot of heat which made our meal very uncomfortable. We opened some windows but were asked to close them by folks behind who were "cold" Typical appitizers were priced @ $11+. My wife had the duck course, the duck was rubbery and... More

Very nice atmosphere. Varried menu with eclectic combinations. I had diver scallops with risoto, bok choy and turmips that came with it and. turned out very tasty. The marscipone cheese was not a good compliment. My wife had salmon that was also good with turnips and pear that also turned out tasty, however the sauce was mostly just sweet.

There are not very many restaurants open on thanksgiving but this place is. We were very happy with our meals on Thursday. The food was fresh, creative, and not too overdone. I did not feel the same feeling of "I'm going to explode any minute" that I do when attending a family members thanksgiving dinner. Definitely recommend trying thanksgiving here!... More

After nibbling the entire table's orders, I can say they were uniformly excellent. Plus, they were unique, at least to my taste buds --... More

I found this place on opentable and loved the reviews that I read there. The building is beautiful, on a corner in Half Moon Bay. The ambiance is very elegant at Cetrella, we were seated in the dining room by the fireplace. The night we dined here they were offering a 3 course Prixe Fixe menu for $25 which was... More

The food is excellent. The atmosphere is excellent. I could have deducted a star because I called ahead to say I was celebrating my fiances birthday and I wanted something special done. The reservationist noted it, but when we showed up - nothing was ever mentioned. However, my server was so funny and personable and the gentleman there were so... More
