The San Mateo Location will be the Fifth Paul Martin’s to Open in California
Paul Martin’s American Grill is set to open its fifth location on July 8th at The Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo. Conceived by Brian Bennett and legendary restaurateur Paul Fleming as the restaurant they always wanted in their neighborhood, Paul Martin’s serves American Classics with a fresh twist using local and peak-of-the-season ingredients.
Co-founder Brian Bennett spent more than a year handpicking dishes for Paul Martin’s menu, which is always evolving, sourcing the best in each community. The five restaurants now maintain over 40 partnerships with select farmstead producers. Every item on the menu is made from scratch with the highest quality ingredients.
“We are so happy to be opening another location in Northern California as we continue to grow,” said Anthony Smith, President – Partner of Paul Martin’s. “It thrills us to not only bring 102 full- and part-time jobs to the local economy, but to expand our support for our partners from this area. The ingredients found here are beyond compare, which supports our philosophy of preparing the best ingredients simply and well while offering these dishes at reasonable prices.”
“Paul Martin’s American Grill is a welcome addition to our collection of the finest department stores, specialty shops and restaurants in the Bay Area,” said Larry Ivich, General Manager of Hillsdale Shopping Center. “Our customers have been asking for sustainable, organic and locally sourced menu selections at fair prices. Paul Martin’s American Grill will offer them everything they want.”
The menu will rotate seasonally with seafood from sustainable fisheries, free-range and natural meats and poultry, artisan cheeses and cured meats. Paul Martin’s most popular dishes include Pitman Family Farms “brick” chicken with mashed potatoes and fresh herb jus, Marinated Skirt Steak with grilled maple-bourbon sweet potatoes and arugula, and their signature banana cream pie. The restaurant’s focus on peak-of-the-season ingredients extends to the bar, showcasing seasonal fruit-infused vodkas made in house and used in signature cocktails. In addition, Paul Martin’s offers several craft beers on tap; and an extensive wine list with over 100 bottles, 80 of which are available by the glass.
The casually sophisticated dining space, which was designed with elegance and comfort in mind, features dark, distressed wood, polished concrete floors, and timeless details. The indoor dining room has approximately 176 seats with room for 76 on the patio. The entire property, including kitchen, dining room, bar and patio, is approximately 6,810 square feet.
