“We often go here when we’re in the area. Good location and attractive place to eat. Noise level inside is hard to take.
I have had the street tacos often and usually love them. Last time they were a bit heavy handed with the salt. Same with the chicken tortilla soup…usually one of my favorites.“

“My wife & I had Sekoya's 3-yr anniversary prix fixe meal. Everything just plain delicious. The Bavette steak was killer, the burrata starter excellent. My wife loved her yellowtail starter and halibut main. The butterscotch and watermelon desserts were delish. I brought a bottle and was treated to excellent wine service, beautiful glassware, with a (by today's standards) very reasonable $35 corkage. Sekoya is now on our radar, and we'll be back!“

“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“

“We had a very pleasant birthday dinner here, and much to my surprise, a dessert I had not ordered. It was a green cake with a berry sauce. I think it was on the menu but I do not recall what it is called. Very good. I had the day's special, pork in an apricot sauce, which was terrific. If it becomes a regular item on the menu, I would certainly choose it over the schnitzel, which I usually get. And they even had a terrific Belgian beer on draught, Chimay Blue. A wonderful meal.“
