Tapas Restaurants near Menlo Park, CA

“I think this is a good restaurant“

“I have had at least a half dozen meals at the Sundeck in the last month. The location is very convenient to the 3000 Sand Hill Office complex, as well as the Sand Hill Circle Residential condos. You can sit indoors or outdoors and have a beautiful view of the Woodside Hills. For breakfast I particularly recommend the egg white omelette and their delicious scones. They also make an excellent latte. Their takeout counter is also excellent. Tables are set up for between two and eight persons, and there has always been plenty of room.“

“Barebottle in Bernal Heights is top notch and has been since they opened. Although the beer in the Menlo Park location is still great, it's weird that it's in Menlo Park. The space seems like it's straight out of a catalog like most things in Menlo Park.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Love the indoor/patio ambience Menu selection,,,food ,,,,especially variety of bruschettas Drink selection as well,,,, mimosas,,,sangria Would like more live music“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in a small strip of San Carlos. My bestie took me here for a birthday dinner, so it was as my first time. The sushi is so fresh and everything we ate tasted delicious, melt in your mouth!!! The staff was fun and had great energy! My only caveat is they were not pacing the dishes and it felt a bit overwhelming. Especially since we were the only ones I. There for the longest time. We loved the attention, but yeah, the attention to timing needed to be present. I would recommend this spot to anyone though. It’s definitely cute for a date night of any kind, but also remember you are in San Carlos and not the city, and this is not in the downtown part.“

“We had such a great experience at Kappo. We came on a Thursday evening and sat at the counter which made the whole meal even more fun because we could watch the chefs prepare and plate everything right in front of us!

The tasting menu was creative. Some of my favorites were the halibut, duck broth with miso noodles, taco dorado, and the Liberty Farms duck. The dessert with fig brulee was also such a good ending. Everything felt thoughtful, beautifully presented with interesting flavors.

What I really liked was how intimate and relaxed the experience felt. The passionate chefs (executive chef Nik and sous chef Gryphon) were warm and engaging so it felt less like a formal tasting menu and more like being invited into their kitchen.

Definitely a special addition to Palo Alto and a place I come back to for a date night or celebration! Yummmm! thank you Nik, Gryphon and Nick for a wonderful evening“

“Great service, delicious food and beautiful decorations.“

“Try everything. Go multiple times until you have experienced the entire menu. Start with the Jamon every visit. World Class!“

“Excellent place for fresh food, wonderful mediterranean style flavors and dishes that taste amazing. Everyone who is there is very kind and the service feels genuinely caring and always helpful. After finding it a couple weeks ago, we've been back 3 times“

“A long overdue review of our favorite hangout spot in Downtown MV. It's got everything you want: good food, wine, and service. They have a great wine club that does free tastings once or twice a month, too. It's a fantastic deal. We are grateful to have a fun place like this in the neighborhood!“

“By far was this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it!“

“Great selection of food, the house special pork pan fried bao is delicious -- one of the best outside of China. Love its tapas style, you can get a lot of smaller dishes to share and try a lot of different items! Service is outstanding!! Every server is so hospitable and you can tell they care about their customers.

We tried a lot of their items, would totally recommend the dumplings, XLB, wonton in chili oil, pan fried bao, skewers such as the ox tongue, salmon and chicken. Kids loved the porridge and ramen too. We got a bottle of sake, it comes with the coolest chilling/dispensing device -- it's an experience!“

“Georgian (Southwesterly Asian) Cuisine ! Fav! Very glad to see that Bevri now has a larger restaurant! Great 👍🏾 food & service.“

“I had one of the most unforgettable experiences at 840 Wine Bar & Cocktail Lounge! I met the owner, Gil, on a Monday before the Super Bowl, and we got to talking about life and dreams. I mentioned to Gil that my only wish in this world was to go to the Super Bowl and to my absolute surprise, he bought me a ticket! I was stunned and so deeply moved. His kindness and generosity are truly rare and something I’ll never forget. The atmosphere at 840 Wine is warm and welcoming, the drinks are fantastic, and Gil’s heart is even bigger than the great wine selection. If you’re looking for a place with great vibes and incredible people, this is it. Thank you, Gil! you are an amazing man and made a dream come true! 🙌🍷💫“

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.“

“Good food and drinks but Very pricey. Great staff. The food is pretty good. There is a young girl that works in the kitchen that's just Very rude and off-putting for no reason. No matter how nice you are it's like she has something against you. But all in all a great place.“

“I loved the food. The only thing I didn't like so much was that the tables were very close together with little room to move around. The waitress had to walk sideways, her entire backside brushing against the edge of the table. They should distribute the space better.“

“Tacos dorado and enchiladas with dry fried beef! Got chicken tacos. The tacos were so crispy and meat was very flavorful! The enchiladas with dry fried beef was interesting. The beef is like a crispy beef jerky texture. I had a language barrier when ordering so just point what you want on the menu.“

“I’ve come here twice to enjoy and work from my laptop on the patio. The views are stunning and in the evening when it’s breezy they even offer blankets despite the rooftop being heated at night. The light bites are amazing— I LOVED the charcuterie board. There is a 90 min limit on the table which is fine so others can also enjoy the vibes. The service was great, Chef Tony came out and introduced himself and I sang his praises, the bartender and server was attentive and helpful and both even let me know on Fridays or the weekends in the summer they bring in a dj! Will definitely be checking that out!“

“Stopped in twice now. Small restaurant/bar. Ordered tofu stew, bossam, and of course KFC. Overall food is excellent. I really like the bossam here and I've tried both the beef and pork, I think I prefer the pork. KFC is crispy and moist.. Mandu is crunchy. Portion is good. Price is average for Korean. Small menu but what they have is good. Staff is always friendly. It can get a bit loud though.“

“Excellent spicy miso broth, not too spicy, but enough to warm you up by the end of the bowl. There are a lot of options including half noodles.“

“A bit of a hidden gem, off MTV main strip, inside a hotel so you won't just see it from the street. The food was really good and so were the cocktails, the ambiance is classy although it has a bit of that hotel lounge look. It was quite empty for a Friday evening, seems a bit underrated, maybe because of the location.“

“And the most amazing cocktails! 🍹“

“Absolutely incredible Indian food! The Lamb Rogan Josh is hands-down the best I’ve ever tasted—tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The Dal Makhani and Biryani were just as amazing. If you want authentic Indian flavors, this place is a must-visit!“
