Restaurants near Portola Valley

“Great food and pet friendly.”

“Delicious food and friendly staff. Best steak burrito and chili verde we have ever had. Loved the added touch of bean dip and custom flavorful tortillas for dipping. A big win. Definitely going back and bringing friends. Can't believe I just discovered this place after years of riding my bike by it.”

“Food was delish. Only issue was bones in my halibut. Beverage Service & table busing slow at times. Had to ask a couple of times for refills. One refill was poured into the wrong glass so soda and ice tea got mixed up but it was corrected. Avocado tempura appetizer was amazing. Desserts were delicious also crème brûlée and chocolate decadent cake. Hubby filet perfect, pizza large. Will definitely go back.”

“Very good place for morning coffee”

“Wandered in after getting disgusted by the parking situation at another nearby restaurant. Very pleasantly surprised by the attentive service, taste and quality of the food, and the availability of gluten free options. Crab cakes were really good.”

“I absolutely love this place, the food is amazing, the staff are phenomenal, tequila is very high quality! Everything about it keeps me coming back time and time again for more!! One of my favorite restaurants hands down”

“Fantastic evening at Robin. The omakase restaurant had a hip, night clubby feel to it as the interior was dark with dance club music, but the sushi was definitely worthwhile. Erin and Abby provided friendly and efficient service, which contributed to the overall positive experience. Free parking lot next door makes it easy to find a parking space.”

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.”

“The overall experience was good, the food was tasty and the flow for Omakase was decent. We added the Uni which total per person was $200. I would love it if they add a few more nigiri to the Omakase menu alone is $150 per person. Is it worth it? Maybe for special occasions.”

“Awesome dining experience. Wonderful bartenders and wait staff. Excellent food!!!”

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend”

“Didn't want to eat the tried and tested Zareen's so I ended up here instead. Now this is good Street food! Authentic flavors, good spice level and warm service. The food prep time is definitely on the higher end, so definitely don't come here starved. We waited about 30 minutes for our food, but it was well worth it. Large portions and flavorful food.

Parking: There's a parking lot behind the shops”

“The halibut tasted amazing — moist and flavorful, with a natural sweetness that didn’t overpower the fish. Pairing it with curry sauce, nuts, and fresh vegetables was the perfect finishing touch.”

“The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! it really brought back my memories from back in Turkey. The server was great! the waitress was very kind and helpful. The atmosphere was very pleasant. i definitely will come again!”

“First time getting a drink and it was so fast and delicious! I love the small round tables you can sit cross cross applesauce on. I love the music they play and overall it’s a vibe. The food is delicious and the service is fast!”

“Excellent food, drinks and service.”

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!”

“Evvia was wonderful! We were there for an occasion dinner, and it was a terrific evening. The service was excellent- great timing, nothing rushed. The food was excellent- particularly the wood fired whole fish served with delicious vegetables- but everything was great including the octopus appetizer. We ate outside and loved the ambiance. We will return here next time in Palo Alto- a great experience.”

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.”

“This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, MeeSun is sweet and nice. Cheers to Chef Justin and team for all the delicious dishes like whole roasted dorade fish prepared on the Hearth paired with grill asparagus, roasted wild mushrooms. However, you must try the warm milk bread, big eye tuna sashimi, white sturgeon caviar toast, beautiful presentation, wide wine list, draft suds try hazy IPA and wonderful dessert all of them! We had well known guests enjoying their dinner next table over from us. Stephen Curry and his lovely wife Ayesha. I recommend to everyone!”

“Fresh Angus beef from Harris Ranch, grilled to perfection.”

“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.”

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years”

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena”

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋”

“Very nice modern spot with a clean aesthetic and friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The food is great comfort fare — I highly recommend the Original Single Patty with fries for a classic combo. The Mushroom Chicken is a flavorful option if you’re looking for something different, and the Mac N Cheese is creamy and satisfying. Portions are generous, definitely great for sharing. Overall, a solid choice for a casual bite while shopping.”

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.”

“Such a cute little bakery with so much to offer!! I had the pesto and mozzarella foccacia which was so insanely delicious. I am definitely coming back to try more :)”

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.”
