“In July of this year we celebrated our 60 th wedding anniversary by booking their side room.for a dinner party. Carlos , manager , was so helpful in planning menu and each guests could order thatvnite with everyone menu. We had choice of 2 salads, 5 entrees and 2 desserts. Our guests all raved about food and service. There was a table with appetizers for guests as they arrived and presented so nicely. Couldn’t have been happier and we were not charged for the room which several other places wanted to charge for just room. My daughter in law was able to go over that Saturday morning to decorate and put all flower arrangements in the tables. It looked amazing. Can’t say enough good things about the evening. Good service the best ‘“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“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.“

“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“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“The tasting menu allowed us to try the best they had to offer. A fun and easy way to get a feel for your favorites. We loved most things except for the duck , which was a little greasy. Also, as we have enjoyed Japanese milk bread in Japan and other Asian bakeries we agreed we would skip the Hokkaido bread next time. Although it was delicious we would prefer to save our stomachs for other dishes.“

“PLEASE OPEN A SPOT IN SF. 🙏I currently have to uber to south sf and DoorDash there but DoorDash doesn’t deliver to sf 😢

I’m sure I’m not the only customer hoping for that“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“TONG SUI SAVED MY LIFE!!! I was on an afternoon run, worried I might die from the heat, when I stumbled across Tong Sui. Vivian helped me find the perfect papaya drink to quench my thirst and quite literally pulled me from the brink of death. I am forever indebted to Vivian for her friendly hospitality and lifesaving capabilities.“

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

“I love Cuco’s!! All women staff. They do everything right.“

“Hasan took wonderful care of us when we wandered in on a Sunday evening. The food was delicious, and he gently steered us during the ordering process to ensure we had just enough with great variety.

Less hype than some of the nearby restaurants with much better food, for a much better price, with much better service. We're already looking forward to our next visit.“

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

“Tried the strawberry‑guava drink and taro boba milk at Tong Sui. Both were fantastic. The strawberry‑guava is bright, fresh and fruity, not overly sweet. The taro boba milk has rich taro flavour with chewy boba. High‑quality ingredients and fast service. Such a lovely dessert spot in Palo Alto, will come back soon!🧋“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“First of all the owners are absolutely delightful. We got take out and it blew our socks off! Hands down the best egg I have ever had in my life....Seriously, I had waited a long while to come here and when I got a reservation for my husband's birthday it was a magical, moment. We were delighted. We traveled through taste and it suspended time. Satiated and joyous. Wakuriya is the best Japanese I have had in my life. I cannot wait to dine inside, but until then I will treat myself to their fare every month. Truly, a delight of sight, smell, texture and taste. I feel lucky to live in the neighborhood, to be so close to this 魔法の場所. Much Love Everyone, may you eat well, be well and visit Wakyuriya.“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“delicious pastrami sandwiches🤤“

“Just a no frills old fashioned diner that reminds me of being a kid. The food was excellent, the service was quick and friendly and the prices were very reasonable. I would recommend this place to anyone that wanted a quick bite to eat without breaking the bank“

“Elevated beer and pizza, and pinball to boot. Owners and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Their pizza menu is solid, and they’re good with swapping out ingredients for vegans, etc.“

“I have had at least a half dozen meals at the Sundeck in the last month. The location is very convenient to the 3000 Sand Hill Office complex, as well as the Sand Hill Circle Residential condos. You can sit indoors or outdoors and have a beautiful view of the Woodside Hills. For breakfast I particularly recommend the egg white omelette and their delicious scones. They also make an excellent latte. Their takeout counter is also excellent. Tables are set up for between two and eight persons, and there has always been plenty of room.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“

“Many promotions going on, they have eat for under $10 and I was more than full. Also they have a gift card deal and more discounts when leaving a review that I am taking advantage of! This place is very well priced and you can tell everything is fresh. I saw the girl cutting up all the vegetables from scratch. Very honorable place, really liked the kake, similar to miso soup in my opinion“

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

“Great Food. Great people!!“

“Excellent place for fresh food, wonderful mediterranean style flavors and dishes that taste amazing. Everyone who is there is very kind and the service feels genuinely caring and always helpful. After finding it a couple weeks ago, we've been back 3 times“

“Excellent food from an owner that really cares about your experience. Go give these hard working folks a try. The place is showing some age. But, that's probably because they are not trying to squeeze you for every last cent. A real gem.“

“Great food and friendly service. The tables are unfortunately permanently tacky/sticky which never feels good as you're eating. Our waitress was very nice and cleaned it again to make sure that's all it was. But it would be good to fix that.

I'm glad we sat outside, the music inside was nice but it would be far too loud to have a conversation in there.“

“Husband and wife team are very friendly and take the time to talk to you. Food is very good. I would highly recommend this little restaurant to anyone.“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“Amazing place, such a quirky and original establishment.
Food was fantastic as well, the service was amazing. Every employee was so pleasant. Especially once they discovered we were from another state.
Each piece of art had its own story. (Which had a book to explain each piece)
Came highly recommended, & I would have to agree.“

“Fantastic community based organization at a beautiful. Welcoming site!“

“This is the cutest, homiest, coziest, most tasty and delicious brunch place I’ve been in Mountain View so far. The service was excellent and beyond what was expected. They have a nice outdoor patio for the breeze lovers and the cute woven chairs inside makes it feels like my aunts house in the summertime. We ordered the Chicken and Waffles (9/10, only since I wish there was more chicken) and the Birria Chilaquiles w/ green sauce (10/10). The food took a while to come out (about 20-25 mins) but was well worth the wait once we tried it. Don’t miss out on their lattes and chai either! Thank you Casa Mia for a lovely, tasty brunch.“

“In truth, I recommend Jessica --the front desk-- who makes sure that I receive extra marinara as well as extra sauce Anglaise... for takeout. Until, we talked, I stopped ordering from Terun on principle. I was a frequent client. Takeout customers must be honored for requests that are gladly honored when in the dining room. Takeout customers should be thanked for not causing dirty tablecloths and dishes -- and LOYALTY. Jessica reinstated that loyalty. I truly hope that the owners appreciate her. Without extra sauces the food is too dry. With it, delicious. The prices honor extra sauces and more!“

“La comida es super deliciosa 👌 y el servicio que ofrecen es excelente“

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!“

“I love this coffee shop down! I usually frequent this place for the Vietnamese coffee but today I decided to try a sandwich as well. I was pleasantly surprised by the size and amount of filling in the sandwich. Service is always 10/10, I forgot to order cold foam on my drink and he remade it for me free of charge. The Vietnamese coffee with salted cream cold foam is a must! I spent around $22 for a sandwich and a small Vietnamese coffee.“
