Meals for us are getting steadily better here. A more balanced menu than a year ago, with brighter/punchier/lighter/greener dishes and lots of variety in each meal course category. We brought our two young sons and saw many other families there at our very-early seating time, highlighting how flexible che fico has become in meeting the community need. Drinks down very quickly, which used to be an issue at this restaurant. Plates were delicious, came out quickly with minimal wait between courses.

We were somewhat disappointed. It had a good review but we felt our food was average as well as the service.

My first visit to Che Fico was disappointing. The service was excellent and the server was helpful and pleasant. We sat inside and it was quite loud for a tuesday night. However, the food was plain and expensive. The Tortellina with butternut squash was "tough" and chewy pasta with odd filling. The Halibut was dry and not very tasty. I enjoyed the Foccacia and the mixed salad was interesting. The eggplant was smothered / lost in the sauce. Overall, VERY expensive for quite mediocre food. I would not recommend it given other excellent restaurants within blocks.

Went out for a family dinner treat. We all finished everything on our plates. Son ordered the Pizza, and his picky palate declared it was some of the best pizza he had ever eaten. My husband finished his lasagna, and I loved the inventive tortellini. I also tried their Sea Foam mocktail, which did not disappoint. The service was attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely be back to sample different dishes and flavors. Great to see a San Francisco favorite on the Peninsula.

The overall experience was good. It was a hit chaotic on a Saturday night and so wine somelier seemed overwhelmed.

Our service and food were exceptional! Ashu took great care to ensure all our dinning needs were met and exceeded. From when we were seated to when we left, every detail was addressed with kindness and warmth. We'll be back!

Poor service at the gelato window - she clearly didn’t like her job and was trying to get out of there

We had such a memorable dining experience at Che Fico that we're already planning our next dinner date there.
This place is super trendy and popular with tons of positive vibes. I love the energy from the staff and smiles on their faces.
Dishes were delectable and well presented. Started wth a Caesar Salad. Fresh Romaine lettuce and a tangy dressing with Anchovies. Followed by the Focaccia loaf. Buttery and flaky to the last bite. The Octopus and potatoes were slathered in a lemon Aioli garlic sauce and cooked just perfect. My Chicken Parmesan was packed with flavor covered in a rich Marinara and melted cheese.
We finished with a sweet and crunchy Cannoli and Gelato/Sorbet Swirl.
Sat at the bar and had a couple drinks with our meal and had excellent service from the bartender. I highly recommend you make reservations a day or so before hand as this place is popular. The menu is a bit pricey, but your are served quality food and fantastic service in a cozy and modern restaurant.

We’ve had good meals here in the past when dining at the restaurant in Menlo Park. Decided to order in tonight. Very disappointed. Soggy and overly salty pizza and chopped salad did not taste fresh.

Food is incredible. Service is great although they seem to consistently mistake one table for another. Not a huge deal but probably something that should be ironed out at that sort of price point. As other reviews mentioned, there is a 5% surcharge. It’s not a huge deal but for the love of god just incorporate that into your prices instead of making it a new line item.

It's OK. Nothing special. My fish was undercooked. They made it right. Too expensive for what they offered.

I recently spent time at Stanford Medical. While their my family and I found Che Fico. The restaurant is beautiful with outdoor and indoor seating. The staff was amazing throughout and took care of anything we asked. We returned 5 times over our 11 day stay. Why? The food and service. Some of the best dishes we have had over our years of travel. We tried almost everything on the menu with no disappointments. The chef and manager visited our table to make sure we were happy with our meals. This is the first time I have ever left a review but needed to express how happy we were with our experience. You bought joy to me and my family during a difficult time. When we return Che Fico will be one of our first stops. Thank you Che Fico
