Meeting a close friend before an evening like that matters. It sets the frequency. BLACKBARN proved to be the ideal place to do itwarm, assured, and quietly seductive. The space hums with confidence rather than noise. Reclaimed wood beams, metal accents, and a modern barn sensibility create an atmosphere that feels cultivated without ever feeling staged. My signature Belvedere martini arrived first and immediately signaled that we were in capable hands.
Burlingame is now home to a new location of the fast-casual restaurant chain Sweetgreen, serving up salads and grain bowls for customers looking for vegetable-forward, health-conscious fare. The brand focuses on locally sourced ingredients and was first started in 2007 by three recent college graduates, according to its website. Spicy new KBBQ Steak Bowls and Plates top the Sweetgreen menu this season.
