Quiet getaway restaurant serving amazing rigatoni with shrimp. Perfect al dente pasta, and a pleasing crunchiness throughout brought by tiny toasted crumbles of sourdough bread.

Cocktail tastes so so. What surprised me was there was a mouse crossed the hallway hidden under my chair. The restaurant didn’t take any action and just told me they contacted the maintenance group… Speechless experience…

Best breakfast meeting spot I've found in Palo Alto

We went to the Graduate by Hilton to eat at Lou & Herbert's for lunch. It's a nice little restaurant and bar with very nice decor. Our server, Carolina was really nice and so was Tony the chef.
We had the Rigatoni Primavera, which was good and Katia's Shrimp Ceviche that was excellent and very craveable.
I also took pictures of the hotel and Presidents Terrace the rooftop bar. There's a lot of Stanford University Cardinal nostalgia as well.

Staying at the hotel and had a cappuccino to the room today. One of the most overpriced coffees I've ever had for what I got. The shit instant coffee they have in the rooms is almost better... Sad.

Great spot for breakfast. Small, quiet, family friendly. Mix of normal tables and sofa options. Sneak up to the roof after for a great view of Palo Alto.

I have come here a number of times and, although it is way too pricey for the food that it offers, the atmosphere counters it. That said, I went there tonight, Sunday, and it was not worthy of a high level hotel bar, starting from the attire of the service providers who looked like gas station attendants, to the price of a basic cocktail (24 USD) which is extreme even for Palo Alto. As nice as the atmosphere is, I will not be coming back.

It's a hotel bar. Nice place to have a conversation. They have nice chairs, quiet, and not too busy. There is also a roof top bar upstairs. Different menu and little cold and windy. Drinks are so so, nice place to hangout tho.

I've found this nice secluded and calm place right on University Ave. We were looking for a late dinner and almost every other restaurant around closes at 9- 9 30pm, but they are open until 11 pm Their food was delicious and I felt it very inviting. It is inside a hotel so it was not so easy to find. I would visit again.
