Tapas Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“Enjoyed the food too much to get photos of dishes, but unbelievable. Still thinking about the lamb agnolotti and the seaweed soup and ... well everything. The Nicks, Griffin, and Ben were so genuine and warm. Tonight was the first night of the spring menu and we'll be back for sure before the seasonal switch -- and then we'll be back again.“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

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

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

“Came here for a business dinner and it was fantastic. Service was attentive but not annoying, food was delicate and delicious and the drinks did not disappoint. The atmosphere is my favorite part of the restaurant. It was a perfect evening and we got to watch the sunset.“

“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.“

“And the most amazing cocktails! 🍹“

“This was a lovely dining experience. The staff were on point and the food was amazing. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and plated and the flavors were beautifully spiced - full of flavor but not so hot you can’t even taste after several bites. (I’m sure that if hot spice is your thing they can accommodate.) I tried panipuri for the first time and had a memorable experience. Five stars all around.“

“Good food. Note: they have a nigiri platter that can be choice of 7 pcs or omakase along with a roll. The portions are half the size of typical nigiri.
Chicken karage is very good, has good seasoning in the batter
Seafood ceviche was mainly shrimp.“

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

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“The decor and atmosphere is beyond beautiful along with the presentation 5/5 along with friendly waitresses who came by in the beginning but nobody followed up toward the end since it was self service menu online.

The Shawrma sandwich was 4/5
However the rice 🍚 plate with kabobs was 3/5, meat was decent but probably the worst rice I have tried at any restaurant. I just couldn’t eat, tasted stale something like you would taste from the previous day, I asked the server to get us another rice as it didn’t taste good as it seems like an old patch. He went back there and got me the same rice but warmer. I mean how bad can you mess up the rice. I would rather been told we don’t have any rice right now but we have a salad as alternative I would have took that than dealing with rice that I paid for and can’t eat.
I also go 2 sides of fries, 🍟 they were good but double fries killed the enjoyment of the potatoes. Either they double fry them or get them frozen pre fried which didn’t match the quality and standards this restaurant has been given.
Unfortunately I wouldn’t pay for the premium prices and lower quality again. I’ll probably get the chicken shawarma but that’s about it.“

“This place is absolutely incredible!!! The food is beyond delicious - especially the Korean dishes, which are so good they’ll leave you speechless. The service is wonderfully friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I also love that they have outdoor seating; it gives the restaurant such a pleasant and vibrant atmosphere.

If you go, you must try the Korean tteokbokki(spicy rice cake 떡볶이) korean fried chicken, and the kimchi fried rice , all highly recommended. Even the coffee is amazing here!!!! they serve it generously and it tastes fantastic.

Overall, a perfect spot for anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service, and a great vibe!“

“I think this is a good restaurant“

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“Have you ever had a Scallion Pancake Taco before? 🥞🌮
Here’s your chance! 😋

@brochette_dumpling_and_grill is a must try spot with Asian eatery dishing up Amal plates including dumplings, skewers, and ramen. They have such an extensive menu and delicious yakitori that it’s a great place to hang out and have a good time with friends! Service is super friendly and we love the space!“

“Ended up going here on a rainy day. Located on Castro St, was very central, plus the place has a very nice vibe. The Somm was actually very helpful and really made sure we enjoyed what we were drinking at night. A friend tried the flight which then followed with more and we enjoyed the flatbread which came piping hot from the kitchen.“

“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“

“Honestly 10/10. I’ve been coming here every Friday for the past few months and it’s become essentially a ritual now. After a hard week of work it’s really nice to come here and see familiar and helpful faces. Special shoutout to Nettie, who sees me walk in and knows what I’m going to order before I even get on line. The beer is excellent (cider too), the hummus is to die for, but truthfully what keeps me coming back is the fact that there are friendly & knowledgeable staff that always treat me well. Thank you, Barebottle, for your excellent people & company. Looking forward to many more weekends with my favorite hummus, my favorite IPA, and honestly one of the best bartenders I’ve met in Menlo Park.“

“Food was delicious -- salads are gigantic! Pizza dough and cheesiness was a delight. Three of us split pizza and cobb salad and it was more than enough, surprisingly. I'd appreciate some more options closer to $15 for lunch. The lady server kinda spoiled our experience, but another guy seemed great.“

“This is probably the best restaurant in Sunnyvale! Literally everything was perfect. Valley Goat is everything you’d expect from a Michelin star establishment. They have perfected and mastered their flavors along with cooking every dish to the absolute perfection. Of the 10 dishes we ordered, including dessert, there is literally nothing to critique. Even the cocktails were masterfully crafted and balance.

On top of an absolutely stellar dinner, the ambiance of the entire restaurant is mesmerizing with the greenery and modern elegance of all the decor.

Lastly, a huge shoutout to our server, Angel, would went above and beyond to secure us some amazing anniversary party hats and ensured we had the best birthday meal possible!!“

“The place had a long queue and we waited about 30 minutes to get in. Credit to the staff for managing the waitlist well. They didn’t turn anyone away, even after their official closing time.

The food was good, but not quite worth such a long wait. Most dishes came with a lot of rice, so even a single dish can be quite filling. Service was fast once we were seated.“

“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.“

Reasonably priced, large portion size, great seasoning, I support. Recommend especially a dish that was somewhat fried rice like... The waiter recommended it and I like lol“

“For 3 yrs always stay at Aloft it’s like my second home , the ambiance is very nice, front desk clerk are polite and friendly , the bar , waiting area , restaurant and the swimming pool are very nice , the rooms are big, and parking area“

“Love this place when they’re for a company happy hour good wine good finger food nice atmosphere on the patio with a fire pit. This is attached to Shashi hotel right next to the computer, history, museum, and the century movie theater.
The waiters were excellent good service“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing! One of the best restaurants in Cupertino“
