50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Emerald Hills

“I come to this place almost everyday, the staff is friendly and the coffee is good! Every Sunday, they make delicious breakfast burritos, tacos and pupusas until 11am. They are delicious! This Cafe is hands down one of my favorite local places to buy my snacks and coffee.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“What a great place to have breakfast or brunch. We are coming from SF to Filoli and were looking for place to eat. This Cafe popped up on the map. And I’m so glad we stopped by. I had the special bagel and my husband had a pastrami sandwich, with mint lemonade and turkey coffee.“

“exceeded my expectations, beautifully done. Staff is gorgeous. And not bad looking either. These people knew what they were doing, love what they do, and it exudes through the food and experience.. I will be back a million times.“

“I went to celebrate my friends birthday. We had a delicious vodka cocktail (actually 2 each!) coconut shrimp and pork belly appetizers. And we're too full for another dish! Except of course a shared dessert. It was sort of like French toast with pistachios as part of the crust. Over blueberries and very light whipped cream. And of course,I forgot to mention the milk bread. (Got one loaf to go to take home to BF who wolfed it down). Super place. Super service. Super food.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Decided to give them another try after a long while. The traditional food is really good as that’s where they shine. I would still clear of the burgers, nothing wrong with it, but I would go to a burger place for a burger and stick to Zareen’s for traditional food. The charga is incredible!!“

“Found this absolute gem while looking for a quick bite! The hand-tossed crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The toppings were incredibly fresh and loaded to the edge. The staff greeted us with smiles, and the service was surprisingly fast for a busy night. Great value for the price—we’ll definitely be back!“

“I love Tong Sui!! Glad there's one near where I usually get my car serviced. Stopped by for the first time and they got A LOTTA flavors to try!! I love jasmine flavors and this summer they have it as a Jasmine Coconut Pudding!! Hope it'll stick around all-season instead!! Servicer is super nice and attentive as well!! Will come back!!“

“Food was delicious -- salads are gigantic! Pizza dough and cheesiness was a delight. Three of us split pizza and cobb salad and it was more than enough, surprisingly. I'd appreciate some more options closer to $15 for lunch. The lady server kinda spoiled our experience, but another guy seemed great.“

“10/10 no notes, jk. It can feel small and cramped for a bit once you enter, but once u settle in, it’s comforting and an enjoyable place to dine.

Got the pad see ew, yellow curry, and crispy pork fried rice. Pad see ew 10/10 no notes, yellow curry an 8, the fried rice is a 9.5.

100/10 would come again. Reasonably priced, monies worth and bellies full. 🤭😋😋“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“Delicious food, super friendly service. A little slower than a typical restaurant, but that’s because everything is made to order and not sitting around in a pan waiting to be served. The food was amazing, and so pretty!“

“When it comes down to Mediterranean food, I would fall into Mazra. However, Mazra now has a worthy rival! What's unique about a smaller restaurant like Nomadic Kitchen is that you feel the place more intimated. I like how the owner/manager and server take a great care of us. When we are about to order 4 choices of mezze, the owner/manager said he will take care of the choices for us and give us samples of everything else as well. The result: the beautiful palette of colors and flavors! I was a bit surprised that we got bread rather than pita. Still, it was amazing! We got the grilled lamb, which is quite nice, no hard-to-chew pieces at all. On top of that, the rice and bulgar (I guess) are so delicious with different fragrance and texture. The dishes are well thought out and so healthy as well. This place becomes one of the most amazing Mediterranean restaurants with reasonable prices. I definitely will come back and eat there again.“

“This was our first time here and everything we ordered were so refreshing and delicious! Wife ordered the salted coco crunch and I got the mango sticky rice coco pudding. Not too sweet. (Not sweet enough for me but the wife loves it). Great atmosphere to hang out!“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“Iced matcha was not strong enough, so I will try hot matcha next time. Also iced strawberry matcha is nice. They made my order wrong at first (matcha instead of strawberry matcha) so they gave me the matcha for free—super kind, thanks!

Line is long but fast, and seating may not look available at first but it cleared up for me. Love the vibe and furniture.“

“Excente atención Delicioso todo El Sr Adrian y sus 2 compañeros nos atendieron de lujo 100% recomendable“

“One of the best casual Cuban spots in the bay area & excellent for take-away!

The Ropa Vieja, Bistec and Shrimp Fajitas are all delicious. Plantains are awesome when they're properly roasted/caramelized. Amazing sauces...make sure you try the Guava BBQ and the Guantanamo Sauce.“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“I'm not a huge fan of seafood boils but this place was recommended by several people with good taste. Made an online reservation for 2 on a Friday for 7 pm and was seated immediately, but they weren't busy, possibly because it was a rainy day. It is an order through your server type of AYCE, but you can order a la carte as well. We opted for the AYCE option, which was $40 before tax and mandatory 18% tip. Mon-Thurs it is $36 before tax and tip, and also includes 1 drink per person (soft drink or beer).

We tried most of the menu without any add ons. All of the seafood boils were fresh and good quality. Shrimps were huge. 2 rounds of snow crab, mussels, clams, head on shrimp, and 1 round of frozen crawfish. We tried the cajun sauce, ultimate sauce, and super ultimate sauce. We didn't notice a big difference between them, but they weren't overly salty and all had lots of garlic. The spicy level was perfect for us.

Appetizers and wok items were surprisingly good as well. They all came out hot and fresh. The curry snow crab fried rice was a huge portion for like 3-4 people. They were able to accommodate no salt added, but could not do a small portion. White rice was a normal 1 person size. Lemon pepper wings were very juicy and flavorful, spicy mayo shrimp were plump and good, fried fish were great and very tender, fried oysters were good but batter was thick, crab chowder was decent, and sweet buns were good and had a nice crispy outside but a bit doughy inside.

Service was pretty good. The mandatory 18% seemed fair. Orders were accurate and food came out in a timely manner. Very clean and spacious restaurant. They have their own parking lot but it's small“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“Delicious, consistent, and wide selection. Excellent service with a big hello and smiles all around. This is a family owned restaurant where the workers are always happy to see you. The people is what makes you want to come here, and the food makes you want to stay. Honest value and freshest ingredients. Yum every time!!!“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Halal beef burgers, made to order, soft brioche buns, veggie options, yummy milkshakes! Definitely with be a place we frequent! Face friendly business, family owned and operated 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“Chicken souvlaki is surprisingly really tender for chicken breast meat.

Get that above all else.

Also, I think the classic hummus is better than the harissa hummus. The combo plate was a good value, but wasn’t overly impressed by the gyro meat.“

“We had such a great experience stopping at Brew today. We were looking for good coffee and my fiancé noticed the excellent ratings, so we decided to make a trip up from Palo Alto.

The young lady who took our order was incredibly friendly and we started out with some excellent coffees, one of which was a Vietnamese type we had never had before.

Then the (extremely kind) owner brought out our croissant and bagel sandwiches. We both thought they were the best we had ever had....absolutely delicious! See the pics!

It was just a great stop. Kind people, great coffee, and excellent food....perfect! 😋😊“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Excellent servers, friendly owner and the atmosphere is very cozy and beautiful. The red pasta was al dente & yummy. The pizzas crust is just too crispy, hard and thin for us. The toppings tasted great though. The oil drops add great flavor. I still recommend trying once in case you like their type of crust.“

“We had a great experience here, especially thanks to Manny! He made sure we had everything we needed while dining and checked on us throughout the meal. His attentiveness and kindness really made our visit stand out. Great service like that makes all the difference!“

“The food there is very amazing!! Been going there for 2 years now! Met the owner Teresa since 2 years too! She's very nice and has wonderful passion for the sandwich business! As always, keep up the wonderful work!“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“New York Pizza in Palo Alto is, in my opinion, the best pizza in the Bay Area. The taste of their pizzas is absolutely delightful, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The staff is just amazing, so attentive, friendly, and always ready to serve and make sure you’re satisfied. I love dining in, but their delivery service is also fantastic. It’s a treat every single time! Thank you for everything!“

“My 1st stop and meal when I visit SF annually. I always look foward having a In n Out burger the war I like it“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“Fiero Cafe is a great spot for a casual but satisfying meal. The pasta here is authentic and delicious — the bolognese especially stands out, rich and full of flavor. Portions are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. They also serve omelets, which make a nice lighter option if you’re not in the mood for pasta. Overall, a cozy place with tasty, well-made dishes that feel genuinely Italian.“

“Stopped by Little Late Bird on a weekday at 11am. It's a comfortable cafe serving Korean staples. The Ube Latte was like tropical Hawaii in a cup with coconut hints. The vegetable Japchae had perfectly chewy noodles and just enough sauce and veggies. The Bulgogi sandwich was amazing: toasted roll, perfectly cooked beef, lettuce, tomato, and spicy pickled jalapeños for contrast. Everything was filling but not heavy. They're also open on weekends 9am-4pm, so it's officially entering our brunch rotation!“
