Twelvemonth in Burlingame

I was very excited to see a really fancy fully vegan fine dining restaurant in the bay area as they are not exactly common here. The restaurant has a gorgeous interior with attention to detail. All of the staff are friendly and competent. I really appreciate the good communication between the staff and the customers. The food was actually phenomenal. The corn bread was light and indulgent, the soft serve was perfectly smooth, and the mushrooms were fried to perfection without being too greasy. Some of the dishes had more subtle flavors but still stood out. I much prefer this type of fine dining to other places. Their desserts and pastries are on point. Would definitely recommend for any celebrations, family gatherings, or just a pleasant evening in general. You can tell that a lot of love and passion went into this restaurant and it deserves to be very successful.

I loved every single dish I had at Twelvemonth! I am happy to find a new place with an awesome ambiance, amazing interior design, great service, and delicious innovative food.As I long term vegan, chef, and wellness coach myself, I could not be more happier for Twelvemonth to open right in my neighborhood.I really love the new elevated spin on so many traditional meals. I grew up eating borscht in Ukraine a lot, and was pleasantly surprised how Twelvemonth made this dish so unique and new, that now I go there sometimes just for the borscht. I loved the paella and radish cakes a lot too.I also had a lovely experience with the hospitality team. One of the guests for my dinner party was on a strict cleanse, and I asked if it would be possible to accommodate her dietary restrictions. The team was very attentive and responsive, and they made her a special salad with all the requested ingredients in it.Thank you Twelvemonth for being an awesome neighborhood destination restaurant!

The food here is very good. The service is very attentive, almost too much. And it did get a little loud, but in general I would highly recommend checking this place out. The cabbage salad was my very favorite and the mushrooms are incredible. That dessert, the rice pudding is also yummy. I would probably pass on the bread as it was stale.

We first came through the back side of Twelvemonth not expecting it to be as large of a restaurant as it is. The interior is intricately designed. Looks beautiful! The food was great too! Had a really enjoyable birthday celebration here. The only dish I didn’t like was the savory creme brûlée. To me, the creativity was on point but didn’t translate in terms of flavor profile. Everything else was really good!! The no paella, pear curry, mushroom karaage, swuasand malasadas were favorites!

Incredible ambience at this fancy restaurant with a wide range of truly unique flavors. Be prepared for unusual taste combinations like the savory creme brulee and chochoyotes. Enjoyed the fried cookie dough for dessert.

Better service than other high-end vegan restaurants and better creativity. That makes Twelvemonth my favorite fancy restaurant in the Bay.Usually, I have strong favorites, but everything here was so good that I genuinely couldnt pick my favorite main dish. For large plates, I recommend the Radish Cake, Japanese Curry, and Paella in no specific order. The portions on these large plates were great! I had a lot of leftovers. The Coconut Rice Pudding for dessert was very delicate, I loved the acidity of the grapefruit with the creamy coconut. The coconut wasnt masked with sugar like a lot of rice puddings.The service here was immaculate. The restaurant is also family friendly, and groups with kids seemed to be seated in the same area. There was an entirely separate and large area with more of an adult/bar vibe, too.Be aware that almost everyone who walks into the bathroom gets confused because the sink area is gender neutral, but then you have to enter separate man/woman restrooms from that area. It makes people think theyve gone into the wrong bathroom, and people look flustered, then apologize and leave. But its the correct bathroom. That happened 3 times while I was there..

This is a fine dining vegan/vegetarian restaurant. We ordered pear pressure, pineapple chili soda, 1908, radical guava cider, corn bread, warm pretzel, crispy maitake mushrooms, green bean casserole, strozzapreti, stone curry fruit and tamales.The drinks were all great! The corn bread requires a special mention. It tasted like a buttery smoky corn-on-cob! I would also highly recommend ordering the maitake mushrooms and the stone fruit curry. The tamales were not the best, and a bit dry.The staff was polite and helpful and the ambience was good too. I would recommend visiting this place for sure!

Four of us had a night out at Twelvemonth. Personally, my expectations werent too high as I read reviews that dinners left hungry or the food wasnt what they expected.We all thoroughly enjoyed everything! The food was well flavored, hot when it needed to be, and well thought out. The service was attentive. Ambiance top notch.We had the rolls, crispy mushrooms, minty peas which were all great. For mains that we shared, we had the not paella and the radish cakes. Surprisingly for me, the radish cakes were my favorite.Definitely recommend Twelvemonth.

I really wanted this place to be 5 stars. It’s the freshest spot to hit the peninsula for a long while in my opinion. However many things leave a lot to be desired.1/ the cocktails are weak. Up the price if need be but don’t be stingy!2/ the service is chaotic. Several different people coming by not knowing we had already been served. Food came out all at once instead of in a decent order timed properly. The bartender never filled my order for a beer.3/ the bread just seems like Hawaiian rolls you but at Safeway. Could improve — freshly baked, unique type perhaps?4/ the food was a solid 4/5 stars. Carrot curry and campanelle were good. The cabbage salad left more to be desired.

Five stars for ambianceThis restaurant is beautiful! High ceilings, indoor trees, bistro lights, pretty tile, custom wine glasses, inlaid wood tables…it was a treat to eat someplace so intentional.Four stars for foodThe bread was warm but a little boring, though the seasoned butters helped. The savory crème brûlée was quite fun with a sweet top, tomato bisque style custard, with traces of lavender and citrus. The campanelle tasted low brow to me, it reminded me of cheap nacho cheese complete with peppers. The fried cookie dough was warm and gooey, but needed some salt.The portion sizing was all over the place, with small bread, tiny crème brûlée, large pasta, and tiny cookie dough dessert.I had the strawberry cream soda which was a little disappointing because while the strawberry flavor was great, it had no cream elements at all. Nothing like real cream soda, or a strawberries with cream dessert. It was more like lemonade.Three stars for serviceThe servers alternately ignored us for long stretches, and hovered awkwardly. It was hard to get the check, and dishes took quite a long time to come out of the kitchen even though the restaurant was not full.
