Restaurants near Portola Valley

“Great food and pet friendly.”

“Local mex restaurant. They also have a food truck that's goes around.
Try the fajita quesadilla.
They fry a whole corn tortilla as their chips with bean/chorizo dip.
Lots of sauces to choose from at the sauce counter.”

“Very good place for morning coffee”

“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.”

“A relatively rare combination of affordable and good food in Woodside. Has good outdoor and indoor seating options and super fast service. Fairly good options with amazing ceviches, though my fajita was a bit on the chewy end.”

“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! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We found this place on a whim. The food is top-quality. The vibes are good. Each dish stood out and the bread was the cherry on top. The drinks were pretty decent too. Would be back again. Definitely recommend if you’re in the Bay.”

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.”

“exceeded my expectations, beautifully done. Staff is gorgeous. And not bad looking either. These people knew what they were doing, love what they do, and it exudes through the food and experience.. I will be back a million times.”

“One of my top 10 restaurants. Love the interior decorating, and of course the food is incredible and creative. It's created and delivered with the upmost of care.

I like the concept of pay-what-you-want, we got the middle tier-ish and had a lot of really unique and fresh food. Dishes include uni from Hokkaido and Santa Barbara, triggerfish, scallops,band many others.

Almost everything about this restaurant was perfect. My only change would be the music, it was fun but didn't seem to match the mood. Not a deal breaker though.”

“Great! I love this place. So good.”

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend”

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend”

“When it comes down to Mediterranean food, I would fall into Mazra. However, Mazra now has a worthy rival! What's unique about a smaller restaurant like Nomadic Kitchen is that you feel the place more intimated. I like how the owner/manager and server take a great care of us. When we are about to order 4 choices of mezze, the owner/manager said he will take care of the choices for us and give us samples of everything else as well. The result: the beautiful palette of colors and flavors! I was a bit surprised that we got bread rather than pita. Still, it was amazing! We got the grilled lamb, which is quite nice, no hard-to-chew pieces at all. On top of that, the rice and bulgar (I guess) are so delicious with different fragrance and texture. The dishes are well thought out and so healthy as well. This place becomes one of the most amazing Mediterranean restaurants with reasonable prices. I definitely will come back and eat there again.”

“Stopped by this ice cream shop and while the flavors are unique, I found some of them just okay. The texture was nice, but a couple of the flavors felt a bit too experimental for my taste. Still worth a try if you're feeling adventurous!”

“Great food and excellent service”

“Took my wife here for her birthday and we had an amazing experience. The food was delicious and unique, and the chef and server were very friendly. Best uni I ever had.”

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

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

“This was a pleasant surprise. The menu is limited obviously but everything on it is delicious. We will definitely be back. For three people to have dinner with an appetizer and a beer was around $50. What a value. I will attach a recent copy of the menu”

“This was my 4th time here at sushi jin- it's truly our favorite omakase in the area, we can't stay away! we always receive great service here, and the fish is so fresh. we especially love getting the ankimo, it's always delicious. highly recommend!!”
