My husband and I were celebrating his birthday so I made reservations to take him to The Shadowbrook for dinner. We took a little tram down to the restrauant since we did not want to walk down the stairs which is a little steep. Kind of fun and unique. Our waiter told us about the menu and specials they had...

Shadowbrook Restaurant has a beautiful garden setting with a unique tram that will take you up and down the steep hill, but I highly recommend the walk through the garden. The building has many levels and nooks for an intimate feel even though it is very large. The food is beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious. They make their own ice... More

Shadowbrook is a special occasion restaurant. Our last time had been about 15 years ago for another special occasion celebration. We enjoyed the ambience as always. It has improved due to additions & remodeling over the years. The chef's garden was a bit barren but it was the time of year (early March 2013) & the creek/river was at low... More

You can walk down to the restaurant through its beautiful gardens or take the 1958 funicular. The service is friendly and know their menu. I suggest calling ahead for reservations and ask to see if... More

Very special and unique dining experience. Best pizza ever! Enjoyed singer Joe Ferrara this was a plesant addition to our dining experience. Saff efficient and attentive. Highly recommend you make this restaurant a destination point when in the area.

This is a landmark restaurant. Either walk down to the restaurant or take the funicular rail down. Cocktails and apps on main level and dining in many quaint rooms.

We were over from the UK visiting our son in the bay area and he treated us to a meal at Shadowbrook for our last night with him. We were enchanted by the ambience of the restaurant. The gardens were lovely and the tiny cable car was great. The restaurant has different dining areas and our table was in a... More
