One of the best restaurants in Palo Alto. Great flavor and entree portions are large but cooked to a high quality.

Overall, everything was great — especially the service team, who did an excellent and truly professional job. I was also really happy to spend a lovely time with a friend I hadn't seen in a long while, thanks to the wonderful atmosphere they created. I'm 100% sure I'll be coming back again soon. Thanks again to everyone!

We love Taverna! The food is excellent and the staff are all very warm, attentive and solicitous. It's like a home cooked family meal, but better! We had the special appetizer of the day, crispy anchovies, and they were sublime. The omelette came with a generous portion of delicious mushrooms as well as delicately sliced "melted" leeks in Kasseri cheese, and the gyro was fantastic.

Just a lovely evening sitting outdoors on the side street under the lights, with endless helpful waiters and attention, who made great suggestions and were charming to boot. We were 2 couples, we shared all plates. The beets were the only thing that was meh, everything else was simple, felt healthy and lovely. I heard the table liked the moussaka. Will certainly go back again.

Excellent restaurant in downtown Palo Alto. Great food and service and a casual yet upscale atmosphere

Nice service and cocktails Solid beet salad and shrimp starter Chicken skewers with butter lettuce — salad was tasty, but chicken could have been warmer

We reserved outdoor seating 10 days in advance but unfortunately they seated us on a random table out near the sidewalk. Our waiter was delightful and very proud of the restaurant. My mom and I loved our Moussaka but my husband's bun on his burger was stale and my brother did not enjoy his Gyro. This was a birthday dinner so we were hoping for a better experience, but we were told the better located tables outside are for larger parties. This was our third time here. Not sure we will be returning.

Exquisite service & excellently prepared food. Wines expensive but Greek list provides good tasting options.

We were a large party celebrating a birthday. Could not have asked for a better experience . Our lead waiter Mus tookthe time to explain in detail the specialties for the day and made sure our vegetarian members were also well taken care of . The service was comparable to fine dining, where in our dishes were timed perfectly during placement. Food was delicious and service was top notch, we ended our evening with the team creating a dance floor , playing celebratory music of our choice . Absolutely recommend this spot if you are looking for an experience that goes beyond food.
Taverna provided a welcoming atmosphere and superb Greek food presentation. Our server Mustafa (Moose) was so friendly and made a great recommendation for Bordeaux to complement our food. Loved the Tzatziki, the Moussaka, the Pita, the Horiataki, and desserts. Family style is the way to go, so take a group!

Excellent dinner. Very tasty. Great service When they have lamb chops specials order them. Fabulous. Their calamari are also super tender.

The server messed up our orders. We were served on something else, and later was taken away, but they charged us at the end. Dessert was delayed and the ice cream was half melted when it served. Food is great but service is far below average.

Everything is good! However, I would love it if you'll be more active on phone or chat when communicated. Been communicating via phone and sending voicemails but to no avail. Thanks!

It's the smallest of details that add up to a great experience. Great food, excellent service, seating options were comfortable.
