50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Palo Alto

“The tasting menu allowed us to try the best they had to offer. A fun and easy way to get a feel for your favorites. We loved most things except for the duck , which was a little greasy. Also, as we have enjoyed Japanese milk bread in Japan and other Asian bakeries we agreed we would skip the Hokkaido bread next time. Although it was delicious we would prefer to save our stomachs for other dishes.“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“Tried the strawberry‑guava drink and taro boba milk at Tong Sui. Both were fantastic. The strawberry‑guava is bright, fresh and fruity, not overly sweet. The taro boba milk has rich taro flavour with chewy boba. High‑quality ingredients and fast service. Such a lovely dessert spot in Palo Alto, will come back soon!🧋“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

“Had dinner with some friends, had the crepes, amazing stuff. The staff is the best, friendly, beautiful very efficient. highly recommended...“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

“Came on a busy weekend night. Anisha helped me out and was super friendly. She recommended the flavors COFFEE AND LOVENUTS (CAL) and SALTED MALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH.

CAL: especially good. The chocolate coated pecans adds a nice crunch and the coffee ice cream isn't too overpowering.

SEA SALT WITH CARAMEL RIBBONS: was good but a bit too salty for my taste.

Store is very busy on weekends, so I suggest coming earlier in the day or come on weekdays“

“Such a cool place. Very classic diner and fills you with nostalgia. The smells from the bakery are amazing. You'll want one of everything. Portions are large so you can share. The ice creams are creamy and delicious. A must visit when you're in the area.“

“My favorite restaurant in Palo Alto! You can taste how fresh and high quality the ingredients are. I have returned multiple times.

We weren’t sure what to order so ended up putting our faith in her suggestions, and everything turned out delicious. The mango ice cream was a perfect end to the meal. Thank you Sitara! I’ll definitely be coming back here“

“New York Pizza in Palo Alto is, in my opinion, the best pizza in the Bay Area. The taste of their pizzas is absolutely delightful, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The staff is just amazing, so attentive, friendly, and always ready to serve and make sure you’re satisfied. I love dining in, but their delivery service is also fantastic. It’s a treat every single time! Thank you for everything!“

The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive without ever being intrusive, checking in at just the right moments and making sure we had everything we needed.

It was a smooth, comfortable, and genuinely pleasant dining experience.“

My partner and I left with some to go coffees and wished we had time to order more food to go. I look forward to my next visit here.“

“My girl enjoyed the Chef’s menu very much (need to post right after a meal otherwise challenging to find photos…).

The small upscale restaurant was popular with a full house with outdoor seating where we were.

Many tables ordered Al la car like I did & they’d leave early. Chef’s menu takes about more than an hour. Bite-size multiple tapa dishes.“

“The red and green sauce are off the hook!“

“We’ve been coming to Coconuts for many years! They’ve since reorganized their menu with way more reasonable portions. Quality is still the best around. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, be it the jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtail, festivals, cornbread, or their housemade gingerbeer (non-alcoholic)“

“I tried the breakfast sandwich and it's on focaccia bread! Its soooo good it changed my idea of a sandwich. The staff is so helpful and kind and really pushed to make me feel welcomed which was great since I was dizzy from a blood draw. Being there definitely felt like a nice break in the day.“

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

“the bomb. probably better than old school BLONDIES WHICH I SAW NOW LOCATED S.F. WESTFIELD MALL“

“Great food and drink♥️ I love“

“Philz coffee is always great and the staff is generally kind but a few employees could work on being a tad bit more friendly. There’s a good amount of seating but it’s set up in a way where it seems they don’t want you to stay a super long time. I’ll definitely continue to come here I just wish it was a little more inviting overall.“

“I'm a first timer definitely will be back“

“Incredibly delicious. Friendly atmosphere. Awesome.“
