Food was just ok. They messed up one of our dishes. There were only two people serving the entire restaurant so service was super slow. Inside decor is nice but the outside dining isn’t pleasant.

Nice place, with great service and ambiance. Our drinks were excellent, while the food was ok, and portions were small and pricey, even for Pintxos (tapas). Seems unfortunate that tapas in the US never seem to be presented in the same spirit as in Spain or Portugal where they always seem like simple, affordable snacks. That said, I would probably go back as the location, drinks, and service are all great.

Stopped in for an early dinner. The service was good, and attentive. The food was good, although the garlic shrimp came out cold (perhaps that is how it was meant to be) and the churros for dessert were not hot as one might expect right out of the fryer. Perhaps an off night for the back of the house.

Food was delish - we were party of 8 and ended getting lots of dishes - most of the snacks and pintxos were smaller we got 2 of each - we also got the Crispy, Twice Cooked Basque Chicken, Roasted Creekstone Hanger Steak, and the Slow Cooked Spanish Octopus entrees and they delicious! We ate them before I could get pictures - Of the pintxos, the croquettas were especially tasty, as well as the Rock Cod + Green Garlic 'Bacalao' Dip! Service was excellent, and the restaurant was modern, great vibes and I can imagine if I was living in the neighborhood to come by for drinks and snacks!

The food was disappointing. We tried the Dungeness Crab Salad Rolls, the Slow Cooked Spanish Octopus, and the Petrale Sole. Both the Octopus and the Petrale Sole were overly oily and lacked flavor. The Octopus dish, in particular, was underwhelming, with only three or four tiny pieces of octopus.

Amazing food, great service. Only drawback was occasional train noise as we were seated outside but it was worth it on such a beautiful evening. Cocktails were also delicious. This place is not inexpensive but the food was creative and fun in addition to being yummy. Similar style and price to Teleféric at Town & Country but a tad more creative. Will be back.

This is an unusual place, basically the lobby of a new residential complex turned into a hip (for Menlo Park) lounge. The first time we were here the food was mixed (in not everything was fantastic), but the service was outstanding. This time what we ate was all delicious (the scallop ceviche was one of the best things I have ever eaten), but I had a hard time getting anyone's attention to get a glass of wine. It is designed to be a place to hang out for a while. Good cocktails, small plates of tasty food.
The service at the canteen was truly exceptional. The menu boasted a wide array of dishes, ranging from tapas-style bites to hearty entrees, ensuring there was something to please every palate. What truly stood out was the impeccable service; the staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring that every need was promptly addressed. It was evident that customer satisfaction was their top priority, making for a memorable and enjoyable meal.
Sangria was way too sweet - and expensive at $75 a pitcher. The dishes we loved on our first visit - like the short rib sandwich - were no longer on the menu. Such a disappointment after a great first visit.

Our server was fabulous. She gave me tastings for their wines before I chose. So accommodating. We read a lot of reviews before going and we're ready to choose but she offered up some new ideas. Our starters were deviled eggs and oysters on the half shell..delish! We almost ordered more oysters but lots more to come. Then Garlicky tomatoes on toast w/ added anchovies...so amazing...anchovies just like in Europe. Then the Shrimp and Octopus hot dishes (can't remember names). Loved the shrimp dish but wouldn't reorder the octopus dish because I prefer less potatoes and more octopus. I chose a Spanish Wine Albirino and I loved it! If we return to Menlo Park again, I will definitely will go back to this adorable restaurant.

Very hip and fun tapas restaurant. Great for a date night. Food and beverages were excellent quality and very creative as well as delicious. Wait staff very friendly and attentive. On the pricy side, but well worth it for a fun night out.
Really nice experience, with eclectic decor that makes you feel at home. Everyone is pretty far from each other, and the seating varies from upholstered chairs to regular chairs. Food is interesting, very good (not outstanding, but quite good) and there is something for everyone. Went first with a big group and came back with just 3 a week later, and had a very nice time both times. Menu is somewhat limited, so will not be returning immediately, but definitely worth a visit.
