“Lovely spot. Definitely a bit tucked in and hidden so I think it’s mostly meant to serve the folks in the business park. That being said I found it quite easily with help of the google street view image. The server was a lovely woman, definitely great service! The food was delicious. Quiet space with simple but nice decor.“

“We love everything about Stacks... the food, the atmosphere, the staff. It couldn't be a more welcoming place. Breakfast there is our favorite...wonderful pancakes, omelets, fruit, and breakfast meat. We're often out of town and one of our first events when we're back, is breakfast at Stacks!“

“Friendly and helpful staff, great environment, attentive. my first time having Caribbean food and got the jerk chicken, the extra sauce is highly recommended for the extra kick.“

“We had such a wonderful experience hosting our wedding reception at British Bankers Club! Nina and the events team were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and accommodating throughout the planning process. They worked with us to make our ideas come together and were always so helpful whenever we had questions.

On the day of the reception, the entire service team was warm, attentive, and professional. Everything went smoothly, and our guests had a wonderful time. We truly appreciated the care and attention everyone put into making our celebration so special.

A huge thank you to Nina and the entire team for helping make our wedding reception such a beautiful and memorable evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend British Bankers Club for special events!“

“A beautiful Spring lunch & afternoon! Delicious entrees!“

“Highly recommend Jason Cafe! Our family stayed in the neighborhood for a week and ate here four out of our seven days. The service is super fast but never feels impatient, orders always 100% correct, hot, and delicious! Hands down the best waffles I’ve ever had, but everything is good. Servers are amazing, efficient, and friendly. They were really nice to my child who has Tourette Syndrome, never made him feel weird. Also the place is super clean—nothing is sticky or needs to be wiped down—they keep it immaculate.“

“Jeffrey's is our go-to burger joint and it is great to live close by. Food is consistently excellent year after year. Shakes are great and they'll even make them with malt if you'd like. Great memories taking my kids there when they were little and now that they're older they still love going back. In fact, we were there tonight!“

“We had a lovely lunch. Food and service were excellent!“

“Beautiful venue - food was amazing!“

“Porta Blu in Menlo Park was such a wonderful experience. The restaurant has a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere that feels polished without being overly formal, and the entire evening was enjoyable from beginning to end.

The food was excellent. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with each dish feeling both refined and approachable. The cocktails were also fantastic, and the service really stood out. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal.

What I loved most was how effortless the whole experience felt. Great food, great drinks, beautiful surroundings, and genuinely warm hospitality. Porta Blu is the kind of place that works just as well for a special dinner as it does for a relaxed evening out.

Definitely a Menlo Park gem and somewhere I would happily return to again and again. Highly recommend!“
