Gosh, this was not our experience. We recently had dinner at the BBC and really enjoyed it. We started with the Asparagus which was excellent, and as described above. My companion had the chilled lobster salad. The portion was generous with the lobster perfectly cooked. I had the Sea Bass and found it moist, flavor full and well presented. I do agree that the wait staff needs training. While a very nice person, our waiter was not well versed in what his job was. We were either trying to find him, or guide him in what to do next. Of course, at this point they had only been open several weeks.

Keep trying guys, Would really like to see you make it, Unfortunatley I have to agree with the writer of this post. Food was bland and waiter never came back to ask how everything was after serving.
Suggest you send in a few undercover diners to see what needs work,

Check out the Yelp reviews. The BBC started with 3 out of 5 possible stars in January and in June earned 2.5 stars. Like so many Menlo Park residents I eagerly awaited the opening of this restaurant and remain mystified by the owners inability to turn things around. Expensive and boring menu. Uneven service. Average food preparation. Time is running out. The new Black Pepper across the street is a bit pricy but everything else works has worked well during its first five months. I hope the BBC experiences a major turnaround but am not optimistic given what's NOT happened so far.

'BBC management refused a request from the Weekly to photograph the food and interior of the restaurant.'
No photos on their website, either. Very disappointing.

No matter the ownership group, it usually takes a few months for a new place to hit it's stride. Sounds like this is the case here.

Beautiful building! Sorry the food is not better, but happy to think of the money I will save.
