“Visited this place on a bit of a whim as we were staying at a nearby hotel for a tenth anniversary staycation. The venue itself quite charming. We sat indoors at the bar next door as the outdoor seating was full and the actual restaurant was taped off (private event?). My husband and I very much enjoyed the food. Be warned - prices are on the higher side. The food is very good though. I had the sole and he had the bouillabaisse. I felt his portion was on the smaller side for the price, but overall good. We wanted cocktails, but at $20+ a pop, it wasn’t in the cards.“

“We have been here several times now. It is a cozy and relaxed restaurant. The menu is somewhat limited however everything we have tried has been delicious. The staff are very pleasant. We will be back.“

“By far my favorite place to eat on campus, if not in all of Palo Alto. For how affordable it is, the quantity and quality of food you get is unparalleled. My favorite items are the chicken burrito bowl, the Aztec salad, and the pastrami banh mi, all of which are between $11 and $12 after tax. Oftentimes, one burrito bowl will last me lunch and dinner. The staff is great and incredibly efficient. When you order a burrito bowl, you will literally get it 20 seconds later.

Vegetarian options: You can customize any menu item to be vegetarian“

“Go here for lunch on Tuesdays & Thursday. They work hard in this program and I really think it shows. Food is usually very good. Portions are great value.“

“My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate New Year's Eve, and it was a fantastic experience! Sam made us an amazing drink that we absolutely loved. The F&B Manager, Alejandra, was incredibly professional and sweet—she even surprised us with a small discount at the end, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our server, Michael, was also excellent and provided great service throughout the evening. The live music was out of this world—it truly felt like we were in Hollywood! Overall, it was a magical night, and we can't wait to visit again!"“
