Nice touch in the peninsula - Edit
The location is super nice. They have trees inside the building and outside has heaters and fireplaces. The crispy mushrooms with the ranch sauce was my favorite.
Read moreThe bean stew was tasty too but a little salty and not enough focaccia bread. The not paella was tasty with the broccoli and brussels sprouts in it but it could have used more aioli sauce and crispier rice. The bread was good with the furikake butter.
Pros: Location, Service
Cons: Price

Very good food and kind waitstaff - Edit
My friend and I shared the crispy maitake mushrooms, the autumn chop salad, and the tamales. We finished with the brownie batter for dessert.
Read moreThe salad and the mushrooms were amazing. The tamales were good but not exceptional. The dessert was fantastically decadent.
We showed up on a Tuesday around 7 pm with no reservations and were told there was no wait for the patio - so out we went! The space heaters made it amply warm, and the atmosphere outside was delightful. Our waiter was great in offering suggestions and answering questions, and the woman who bused the tables was incredibly kind.
The venue, fare, and price point are geared toward attracting a zhuzhy-on-the-peninsula clientele more than the hipster-premium crowd that's more typical for a similar place in the east bay (and that I'm more used to). Given this, I'm glad we sat outside, as the vibe indoors felt a bit more pretentious from both the hostess and the guests.
Pros: Good food, creative menu, Kind and helpful wait staff, Excellent atmosphere in the outdoor area
Cons: A tad pricey

Edited 9/25/23 2nd visit, Awful food. 1st visit Wonderful experience, amazing tasty food - Edit
I meant every word after my first visit. Four of us went (my second visit) for a special occasion. The service and ambiance remain outstanding, but the food was a disaster. Something bad happened between the two visits, I can only think different chef.
Read moreBased on my last visit I recommended the beets. One of us explained that she can’t handle spice. The waiter also recommended the beets to her. They were spicy. And nothing like the first visit.
We ordered the Crème Brûlée which was described as having a hint of lavender. It was total overload of lavender and “pot pourri” would have been a better description. That might be what made one of us ill.
My special guests both ordered a pasta dish, it was a nuclear bombshell of strong cheese that was unbearable to even sit next to. Neither could eat it.
The $9 bread rolls were nice on the inside, but dry and stale, unlike my previous visit.
The Thai Curry was the one dish that was outstanding.
It was an unfortunate disaster of a meal that spoiled a last night with special guests.
Hopefully this is not the future.

Everything about TwelveMonth is outstanding. You’ll need several dishes, 5 was about right for two hungry people but didn’t leave room for dessert. When I asked if everything is Vegan I was swiftly corrected “Everything is Plant Based”, clearly there was some kind of accent or image or P.C. overtone about Plant Based they wish to portray.
It was 5 for 5 on the dishes, every one delicious, beyond outstanding and service was excellent although a couple of the very young servers were still learning. You’ll be swiftly greeted with menus and asked if you prefer still or sparkling water and a pitcher of your choice is left for you and your glass is frequently refilled.
I’m not a fan of vegan cheese, yogurt, cream etc, but the beets with vegan, sorry, Plant Based, yogurt was delicious. That was my friend’s favorite of the five dishes we ordered. The $9 bread was well worth paying for. My favorite was the bean stew. Each dish had me puzzling what ingredients the beautiful flavors were comprised of.
Can’t wait to try dessert and also the new bakery which I understand has a separate entrance and is open when the restaurant isn’t. I’m also looking forward to trying the bar and outdoor seating food, everything looks very impressive. Worth the money. This restaurant skyrockets into local first place for vegan (hah!) special occasions but I suspect I’ll be going at the slightest excuse

Pros: Thai curry. The rest on 2nd visit was truly awful, Great service and vibrant ambiance
Cons: It’s on the noisy side when full., Was closed on my birthday! Not open every night., Truly awful dishes on second visit. What changed?

Amazing - Edit
I’m so happy I checked out Twelvemonth. The website said I needed reservations, but I went there without any. I was seated in the outside patio (they have space heaters). The food was amazing. Service was attentive and friendly. It’s been less than 12 hours and I want to go back…

Amazing expierence - Edit
Upscale vegan restaurant in San Mateo county, WOW! It has an amazing ambiance and aesthetic. The place is huge! The menu changes regularly, it looks like, but I’ll say everything we had there was phenomenal! Interesting and innovative dishes like fried green strawberries and savory crème brûlée. Paired with a glass of wine, I was in heaven, I’ll definitely be back and wanting to explore other parts of the restaurant like the bar and bakery

Fantastic food and space - Edit
All the food was delicious and clearly marked for gluten free. Carrot curry had amazing thai flavors. Not Paella was also delicious. However, kitchen is a tad annoying yelling out the orders. Not a gan of chef Ramsey style chefs. Our waiter was horrible as he was duper slow to take our orders and was rarely around the tables. Had to ask for more water three times and remind him about our coffee orders after we had finished deserts. OMG, derp fried cookie dough and the soft serve were fantastic! Note, they serve decent sized portions. I’d suggest getting plates for family style to try all the dishes.

Best upscale Bay restaurant - Edit
Better service than BAIA and better creativity. The combinations of ingredients in the dishes are more to my taste than Millennium. That makes Twelvemonth my favorite fancy restaurant in the Bay.
Read moreUsually I have strong favorites, but everything here was so good that I genuinely couldn't 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 wasn't 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 they've gone into the wrong bathroom, and people look flustered then apologize and leave. But it's the correct bathroom. That happened 3 times while I was there..

Yummy food - Edit
We came in at 5 pm and were seated promptly. It was tough making meal choices. We split the Twelvemonth salad. That was good size and enough to split.
Read moreNext I had the Paella. I asked not to have broccoli in it and sub cauliflower. The Paella tasted good. Not a traditional Paella tho. Only complaint was way to salty.
Next was the brownie batter. Not sure who came up with the concept but it was really good😀 The wife let me have one of her malasadas. Pretty good.
Really nice dining experience.
