“Our server, Patrick, made excellent recommendations. He highly recommended the John Dory entree, and we absolutely love it! The dish's taste and texture are both innovative and harmonious. Additionally, the Spanish octopus is a standout; the tenderness of the octopus and the sauce work perfectly together. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.“
“Not sure if I can rate anything bad about this place! Wine, service, food and live music all were great. Spent my birthday here and just enjoyed every moment, sip and bite. Their artichoke dip is out of this world. I had their Malbec and my partner had their Cabernet and they were both really nice. They had Kira Hooks singing jazz that night and she was mesmerizing. I will come back here again and again. This place might look ordinary from the outside but the charm lies in their hospitality!“
“Food was good, but the biggest downer was the lasagna. Tasted great, but came out cold. I get that it's not made to order, but this was room temperature or lower. A bit unappetizing, and disappointing since it was a cold day and I was looking forward to a nice hot meal. Place was quite, but it was a Tuesday, so easy to have a conversation. Next time I would send the lasagna back to be reheated -“
“I booked a last minute reservation here for 7pm on Friday evening for an outdoor table. We were seated at an outdoor table in the back patio and to my surprise it was quite warm since its covered. We started off with a round of drinks. They were out of the milk punch, so I tried the Tropical Nights cocktail. It was beautifully presented, but I found it a little too sweet. It was like a liquid dessert! We started off our meal with the Parker House rolls...they were so soft and buttery! They tasted incredible with the whipped butter that was served. We then shared the tempura mushrooms, trout, roasted cabbage as well as the delicata squash and beets. The mushrooms were nicely fried, not greasy at all. We even got the non-mushroom eater to try them and she said they weren't bad at all. The trout was perfectly cooked. The skin had a nice crisp texture. The cabbage and the rest of the vegetables were very tasty but at $28, I thought it was a little steep for the price. The delicata squash and beets were fine, but not noteworthy. I would probably skip those next time. Our server was very nice and engaged in conversation but not overly so. All in all, it was an enjoyable meal and I would definitely go back again! Especially, for the Parker House rolls!“
“Sat in the back patio, which was nice and warm and covered. Food was solid. We didn’t like the pear burrata special, but the pizzas were quality (we got the sausage honey and sausage broccolini pizzas). The bread pudding dessert was solid too. Overall, recommend this “
“This is my first time visiting Itálico for my birthday! The food is excellent. The service was phenomenal and everyone absolutely delightful. Michael was so attentive and hospitable! He genuinely wanted to get to know my family and I, and was so sweet. Super profesional and kind to all. He made my family feel super welcomed and felt like a queen on my birthday! Our server was also Carlos was absolutely excellent and gave amazing service to us and everyone else!! He was so funny and always made sure we were all good. I recommend everyone try this restaurant! Graziie Mille Michael . -Haydee “
“Ambiance is arty, comfortable and lovely. Menu had great choices and the 3 of us were so pleased with our choices. I brought home the leftovers and they were just as delicious the next day. We had the mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, shrimp and the crab ‘taco'. The winter sangria was delicious and full body with rich red wine and port YUM just right for this time of year!“
“I just love this place. It’s such a great neighborhood low key vibe but mixed with some of the best food I’ve had in the Bay Area - unpretentious but inventive, high quality and just hand down delicious. I love that everyone who works at Bottleshop seems to really believe in Bottleshop. It means a lot to have all your staff excited about what this place is doing. The owners are well versed in all things wine and always have something fun on hand. Could not recommend this place more.“
“Cool place. It being a converted house reminded me of Rainey Street bars (Austin) but is just a wine bar. If you’re not looking down the driveway when you walk up, you wouldn’t know they had such a backyard. Nice vibes, quiet live music.“
Wine Bar • $$
“Excellent light jazz, stellar wine selection, beyond superb service at Moods - Mammad the owner and probably the only person serving everyone, is a treasure. Love this little Co-op place that also hosts a cafe and gallery at different hours.Highly recommend bringing a book, a friend, or your work to chill here late afternoon til sunset.Great place to chill when there's a lot happening on California Ave.“
“Amazing location but local individuals are ignorant.Me and my husband had some wine which was amazing ….2 hour later , two Indians came in , ordered and sat next to us . After a few minutes, they started voicing , complaining that we were speaking on the phone (not directly but went to complain to the employee working )Very sad that because we were speaking on the phone “ we were non educated “.Location is very nice but these some local individuals are disgusting.Individual employee serving the wine and attending to the location was amazing :) would come back just because of his service“
“Ideally, 3.5/5Zola + BarZola boasts a charming atmosphere and impressive menu, but be prepared to settle in for the long haul. While the wait was longer than ideal, the food itself was largely satisfying.The restaurant was busy on a weekday when we got there, so we were seated outside. Thankfully, they had heaters to keep us warm while we dined.Food:The cote de porc (pork chop) with porcini rub, pommes puree, and caramelized onions was delicious. The pork was perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside, and with a satisfyingly crisp exterior. The mashed potatoes (pommes puree) were very creamy and had a smooth, velvety texture. It complimented the pork chop really well.The hanger steak was tender and flavorful, seasoned well, and cooked to a perfect medium-rare.The beef cheek bourguignon was Slow-cooked to melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, but the sauce didn't quite hit the spot. Overall, this dish was okay.Ambiance:The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The dimmed lighting and comfortable seating created a perfect setting for a relaxed evening.Service:The slow service significantly impacted the experience. Our wait time between drinks and our main course was quite long, which unfortunately detracted from the overall flow of the meal.Overall, Zola + BarZola offers delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. If you're looking for a leisurely luxurious dining experience and don't mind waiting a bit between courses, then Zola + BarZola could be a good option. However, if you're short on time or prioritize fast service, you might want to consider another restaurant.“
“Great atmosphere for a date night! We ordered the salmon tartare, rose tteokbokki, and kfc cauliflower for appetizers. All of them were great but I was most impressed by the tteokbokki!We followed with the short ribs and the basque cheesecake dessert. They were good but the appetizers were more impressive. I was also disappointed that they no longer did the sweet potato chiffon cake :(“
“We had an early reservation on Valentines Day so only seating was outside. Patio heaters kept us warm. Our server was extremely pleasant but somewhat in attentive to see that our plates were cleared and dessert menus delivered. We had to ask. We ordered a bottle of wine and to our surprise our entrees arrived before the wine. Our waiter returned the entrees to the kitchen and delivered the wine to the table. Entrees appeared shortly afterwards....not sure if they were just kept warm under a heat lamp. That said, the food was absolutely delicious. The mushroom gnocchi was fantastic and the walnut encrusted halibut was simply the best.“
“Been here probably around 8 times or so. Never have I left unsatisfied. This isn't your typical kbbq. This is the kind of place that you'll go once in a while to either treat yourself or for a special occasion. Meat quality is always a1, and service is always a1 (they'll cook the meats for you). I've tried all 10 cuts and the ones I reccomend are the boneless shortrib and brisket. Do not forget the brisket! Only downside to 10 Butchers is the occasional wait, especially if you're with a bigger party.“
“Awesome appetisers, salads and crudette plates. My friend enjoyed the selection of wines. Great jazz ensemble on Thursday nights. Friendly patrons.Parking: I parked in the Box building after 5pm. Also some paid street parking but you need to get lucky to find a space after 5.Wheelchair accessibility: This is ground floor and plenty of tables are available.Dietary restrictions: I don't eat pork, there are plenty of options. I think they have a few gluten free options.“
“Excellent for happy hour - food items at half off, and they taste pretty good. Wine choices are underwhelming but a good deal for members (20-30% off list price). Tasting event was busy but wines were meh. This location is a bit small, so it feels crowded and noisy. Even tables were so small that there wasn’t enough room for the food! No patio seating as Castro is blocked off - in fact, the neighborhood vibe has seriously degraded. The Los Gatos location is much more attractive and spacious (outdoor seating).“
“I started out with the Turkish Pilsner, very refreshing beer. The spanakopita crust was so flaky and the filling just melted in your mouth. The chicken curry was very flavorful yet not as saucy as the Indian or Thai curry. The service was attentive. The decor was uncluttered and yet tasteful.Parking: Behind the restaurant in the public parking.“
“This place is Amazing! The food and drinks (wine) was fresh! They had truffle popcorn and charcuterie boards which is very Upscale if you know your foods! The price was awesome and very reasonable. The owner (Manuel Vasquez) and his staff was very hospitable. I will stop in everytime I am in California. I'm from Michigan and we need more Wine Bar's here. I absolutely loved the items mentioned above. My friend loved it also, even though he never heard of truffle and charcuterie. This Wine Bar also had great pizza's. Love this place!!!!“
“I don’t know why this restaurant doesn’t have a line outside the door! The food is always delicious and fresh. The menu is small but PERFECT. They change things up slightly seasonally and I’ve never eaten anything there that wasn’t 10/10.“
Fine Dining
“First of all, the petite filet was fabulous, perfectly cooked to medium. However, I can't say that about the rest of the meal. The pear/blue cheese salad was tasty, but the 3 small crumbles of blue cheese don't justify the title. The green beans were tasteless and hard - not crispy done. The carrot cake dessert was a highlight too. I was celebrating my birthday with a girlfriend, so the chocolate truffles and carrot cake were a delight. Service was minimal, which might have been nice if we were seated in a corner or a booth where we could have relaxed and chatted, but we were seated near the entrance/high traffic area, squished in-between two large table of 8 people, so there was little ability to have a conversation between courses and being constantly bumped by waiters/waitresses attending to the other tables. We had made early reservations on Sunday evening (5pm), hoping to avoid some of the ambience issues but everyone else must have had the same idea, it was a quite busy evening.“
“We have gone here many times, the food and service is really great. Today I went and I messed up my reservation by putting the wrong amount of people and they were so nice and accommodating at the front desk as well as our server I believe his name was RP. Always a great experience.“
“Very authentic German food. Pork knuckles cooked perfectly moist with crispy skin. Schnitzel tender not oily with interesting pasta spatzle . Sausage sampler had very different style and flavor sausage. Must have pretzel. Safe room for Apple strudel and don’t share it! Amazing selection of beer on tap. Forgot to take pictures.“
“I’ve been here twice and the second time was amazing! Michelle was fantastic and so much fun to talk to! I was sitting by myself at the counter and we engaged in great conversation. She didn’t pressure to buy additional drinks or take more home. She also let me take my time there. Thanks for a great experience, Michelle!!“
“I came here for the 3H (happiness, health, harmony) Afternoon Tea, offered for the month of March. It's in the lobby bar/restaurant, which is located right when you walk in at the entrance, next to the front desk. It's a nice setting with sunlight coming in through the glass windows and doors if you sit in the main front area, with soft chairs and couches (and coffee tables) that are spaced out, plus some traditional tables here and there. A free parking lot is just off to the side of this building.The tea set comes with the usual: savories, sweets, and tea. There are special teas that represent one of the h's, or you can order one of the classic teas instead. You also get rosemary sage that you can take home and burn for a good night's sleep. The food and tea were good, though not outstanding, and service was good as well. Overall experience was a 5 but food a 4 without a standout item in my opinion, so I'll go with 4 stars since 4.5 isn't an option.“
“This was a restaurant we found on yelp because we were in the area. Never heard of it. Small cozy place with excellent food. Chef Winston was really nice to come out and ask us how everything was. Small menu but something for everyone sort of menu. We sampled many different apps and entress (4 of us). Succulant lamb, great crab cakes, very fresh salmon and prawns as well. Sauces, flavors all around outstanding. My beet salad was sooo good. Perfect amount of dressing. Beautiful presentation. Prices match the high quality and fresh ingredients. Very good service, unobtrusive yet server seemed to be aware the moment we needed something. Also quite casual which we like. We are there for the food and not the hoity- toity behavior. So we could relax (especially after a long work week). I recommend reservations.“
“Great Ambiance with a beautiful patio and bar and friendly staff. The food is limited and they close the patio too early. It would be perfect if they expanded the menu. It always seems uncrowded, which is crazy because it's such a cool place.“
“The price point was intimidating, but I must say they delivered and the experience eating here was perfect. The risotto with shrimps was the highlight for me!For a party of two, we ordered:Assorted tempura - classic and hit the spot. They gave plenty of assorted vegetables with the shrimp.Garlic edamame - recommended by the server and it was very goodSashimi moriawase - it was pretty good quality, but not a wow factorVinum reserve flight - I liked the Duckhorn and Caymus red schoonerWhite wine sangria - plenty of fruit and good tasteWhite volcano - recommended by server and was very goodMushroom risotto shrimp - highly, highly recommend thisTrio skewers - I always love yakitori, so this was pretty good. I would order again if I come back.The vibes here are nice with a dimly lit setting and the decor is very warm. The portions were generous and worth the price. This is located in Newpark, which is a newer plaza, so it's very clean and there's a ton of parking.Vinum seems like the perfect place to unwind since they occasionally have live jazz music and wine tasting events. We just missed the jazz music, since they had a wine tasting event earlier.The menu is extensive with all the Japanese fusion fare you would look for. Everything was delicious and great quality. Service was excellent-- server was friendly and provided perfect recommendations.TLDR: The risotto definitely stood out and I liked the Vinum reserve wine flight“
“This is a fantastic site to drink wines with friends. The views from their lower tasting area is lovely looking towards the Santa Cruz mountains over a lovely valley. House produces great whites and they have a nice charcuterie plate at this location. While they sort out their higher level north facing site, it's still workers a trip up here.“
“First time a Broma. The overall experience was good, great service, the food was very good but! I was disappointing about how spicy the dishes were (4 of us) . I felt I was at Mexican restaurant (don't get me wrong, I love Mexican food) No one in the group was not expecting to eat spicy dishes, we are all from Spain :-)“
“Stumbled upon this cafe waiting for an appointment. Had the tomato mozzarella sandwich on gluten free bread and a tea. It was delicious but the staff was really impressive. Kind, helpful and efficient. Wish I tipped more. Would definitely return!“
“Came here with a group of work colleagues, and we had a great time! Wonderful atmosphere with excellent service and food. I highly recommend getting the brussel sprouts if you go. They're amazing!The only issue was parking, which required a little bit of diligence and patience to find a spot, but it was definitely worth it!“
“They were busy as it was Valentine's Day and I was happy to see they had business! However knowing it was a holiday they should've expected it. We asked for coffee and we were told “no we can't do coffee as the bar is busy”. The service overall was lacking. We took our group somewhere else for post dinner coffee and dessert. We will return as the service is normally okay and the food is delicious.“
“Romantic atmosphere, great service from our waiter with a very good wine choice which we appreciate. Would love to have a more private seating for our special occasion to make the evening ideal. Overall a wonderful experience and will look forward to be back again.“
“Came in for a lunch date. The little entrance fiasco would hopefully help improve my observation skill in the future. ?The decor was beautiful with transparent huge pear-shaped lightbulbs and a stunning chandelier, but the large print of baby eating hummus guide on wall was such a turn-off, IMO. Unless it served as a satire but do people really need to be told how to eat? Thought the idea was a bit controlling, and it didn't go with the high end design.Food was OK but expensive. For my chicken skewer that consisted of a small salad, five pieces of meat, sweet potato fries and a pita bread, it's a hefty $27.50. The best part of my meal was the sweet potato fries. ?Ambience was cozy and clean, although chairs were hard and uncomfortable and table was too small. Service was nice, at least it's not pretentious or snotty like some other ones in main street.“

Advertising plays a different role in the various stages of the marketing process to publicize the product or service by generating contacts for a sales force or selling directly. Companies that have a connection with stores use advertising to make consumers aware of the availability of products and thus increase store sales.AwarenessMost companies use advertising to educate users and potential customers about the benefits and features of their products. So if customers are not aware of your product, they will not consider it when making a purchasing decision for the type of product you offer. Advertising will put the product in the consumer's choice set.Brand preferenceAdvertising creates a preference for the product over competitors' offerings. Advertising messages must reflect all the information about what customers want and feel because that will be important for them to choose your product. Likewise, the quality of the product must be emphasized, brand messages reinforced so that the product becomes one of the first options when the consumer has to make a purchase.Direct saleDirect response advertising should be used to be able to sell products directly to the final consumer, depending on the audience you are targeting.

“I love this place. My cousin and I both went. Delicious. Great menu, great service, pretty restaurant, great bar. We are definitely going back again and again Vegetarian options: I had a mushroom ravioli with mushroom sauce and a nice glass of Pinot Grigio. It was delicious“
“We came here for our valentine's dinner on the day before Valentine's day. Definitely need to reserve before going. Ambience is great as always. Service could be better, there were no pleasantries, was hard to catch hold of a waiter and the dishes took forever to come. This time we tried the tandoori chicken bomba, paneer pinwheel with some naans. The Bomba was interesting and the paneer pinwheel was amazing. You can definitely come here for a special occasion as it is on the pricier side.“
“Modern cafe with good food choices and well made coffee drinks.We had the avocado toast, caprese panini and parma panini. All were very flavorful. The panini bread was very crusty, dark bread.It was challenging to find a table for four but one opened up eventually. Lots of people working on laptops.The music is good and kept at a level which allows for conversation.The staff was very friendly.“
Barbecue • $$
“My lab mates and I came here for lunch as part of our exploration to try all the various restaurants on campus. This restaurant has quite the selection of BBQ (including some vegetarian options!) and even several beer options both on tap and bottled. Quite funny there's alcoholic options at a restaurant on Stanford's campus considering that Stanford's football stadium doesn't sell any alcohol at all!I opted for some classic options, so I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a side of fries. For the price, the sandwich was incredibly large and filling. It was packed with a generous amount of both pulled pork and cole slaw. The pulled pork was decent, but the bbq sauce present added immensely to the flavor. They also provided quite a lot of fries as well, and it made for a very filling lunch experience - one of better food options on campus! Cost:-Pulled pork sandwich = $10-Side of fries = $5“
“Despite the (quantity of) meat and cheese tray being a bit underwhelming, it was all good quality and very delicious. It paired well with my wine. Service was a a tad slow but then again I wasn't in a hurry to get back to my hotel room that evening.“
“I absolutely LOVE Lutticken’s! It is my home for karaoke every Thursday night with KJ Anthony! The regular crowd is so welcoming, diverse, fun to be around. They are my second family. Carlos serves up the best cocktails in the area and their whole kitchen crew serves up the most amazing menu. I will continue to come back week after week!!“
“Went to this place twice: Ate khinkali on a skewer and dumplings. Skewer was good but not great, deginitely enjoyed the dumplings though. On my second visit, i tried the phkali (red beet paste was fantastic) and cheese bread and they were both incredible. Lava cake was also nice but not outstanding.Georgian cuisine is hard to come by so i would definitely recommend you visit this place. (Staff is really helpful as well)“
“Visited after the ownership change. Great selection for the Buffett! Quality is pretty good, so is the taste. Wide range of choices, makes you eat more of course and you are not feeling bad about it, because of the taste and the healthy options.Vegetarian options: South Indian, Srilankan vegetarian options were available. Vada, dosa, vegetable ball, briyani and many more.“
“As someone who embraces the flexibility of remote work and is currently enriching my skills through a business English class, finding the ideal spot to blend productivity with comfort is crucial. My quest led me to this coffee place, a place that not only caters to my professional needs but also creates an enriching environment for my 12-year-old daughter, who studies homeschool. She thrives amidst the vibrant energy of nerds, entrepreneurs, and fellow students, making it a perfect setting for both of us.This coffeebar is a gem that stands out for its exceptional ambiance. The coffees are superb, each sip delivering the rich, nuanced flavors that only the finest beans can provide. The snacks are just as delightful, offering the perfect complement to any beverage choice. The music is thoughtfully selected to enhance the atmosphere, creating a background that's conducive to focus and relaxation.“
“Favorite place in Palo Alto for 3 years now!! Great service! Staff always focus on making you feel welcome. Great wine selection not only domestic but international?. No matter if you consider an amateur or with hight taste, you will always find the wine for you. Every time some is visiting me either friends or family, I take them to the Wine Room where we have a great time. Highly recommend it!!“

“It's challenging in California to find a pizza that reminds me of NYC, here they make a delicious pie with "color"! NO BLONDE CALIFORNIA PIZZA!!! The grilled octopus appetizer was delightful, tasty good size on top of arugula...WELL DONE.Tiramisu is delicious. They also have a very nice, albeit small wine selection. We'll be back!!“
