“What a great place to have breakfast or brunch. We are coming from SF to Filoli and were looking for place to eat. This Cafe popped up on the map. And I’m so glad we stopped by. I had the special bagel and my husband had a pastrami sandwich, with mint lemonade and turkey coffee.“

“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.“

“The food, service, and vibe are outstanding. Every dish (we had 13 and shared them all) was distinct and a hit - no misses, from the milk bread to the grilled snap peas to the sesame fritters topped with smoked trout cream to the crispy pork belly to the meaty fat asparagus spears over a bit of flavorful rice porridge to the strawberry soft serve under a layer of delicious foam and over a layer of delicious gel. I could go on. It’s a super-comfortable atmosphere with friendly, professional, accommodating staff. For the number of dishes we ordered and their complexity, the price was reasonable. The only question is, why doesn’t this restaurant have any Michelin stars yet?“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“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!“

“Food was delicious -- salads are gigantic! Pizza dough and cheesiness was a delight. Three of us split pizza and cobb salad and it was more than enough, surprisingly. I'd appreciate some more options closer to $15 for lunch. The lady server kinda spoiled our experience, but another guy seemed great.“

“Wonderful little place! The chilaquiles were amazing! We also ordered the Huevos Rancheros which were also very good. If you had to pick only 1 dish, I would recommend the chilaquiles with green salsa. We ended up adding the linguisa which was cooked perfectly. I would also recommend the Marzipan Iced coffee. This was soooo good.

Overall, I would highly recommend this place! Definitely would come back to try other items“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

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

“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.“

“This was our first time here and everything we ordered were so refreshing and delicious! Wife ordered the salted coco crunch and I got the mango sticky rice coco pudding. Not too sweet. (Not sweet enough for me but the wife loves it). Great atmosphere to hang out!“

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

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

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“

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

“Delicious, consistent, and wide selection. Excellent service with a big hello and smiles all around. This is a family owned restaurant where the workers are always happy to see you. The people is what makes you want to come here, and the food makes you want to stay. Honest value and freshest ingredients. Yum every time!!!“

“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.“

“We had such a great experience stopping at Brew today. We were looking for good coffee and my fiancé noticed the excellent ratings, so we decided to make a trip up from Palo Alto.

The young lady who took our order was incredibly friendly and we started out with some excellent coffees, one of which was a Vietnamese type we had never had before.

Then the (extremely kind) owner brought out our croissant and bagel sandwiches. We both thought they were the best we had ever had....absolutely delicious! See the pics!

It was just a great stop. Kind people, great coffee, and excellent food....perfect! 😋😊“

“Excellent servers, friendly owner and the atmosphere is very cozy and beautiful. The red pasta was al dente & yummy. The pizzas crust is just too crispy, hard and thin for us. The toppings tasted great though. The oil drops add great flavor. I still recommend trying once in case you like their type of crust.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“What a hidden gem in Menlo Park! Great spot for lunch after visiting Willow Oaks Park. Spacious dining area that can hold large groups and the food is really good value thanks to the large portions. Our kids loved the lentil soup and cheeseburger.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

“Got a burrito was really good. Our server , Sylvia recommended a margarita…it was great. So…great food, great drinks and great service.“

“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!“

“Very unusual and delicious dumplings. I don’t live in the bay so I was strangely close to the two tables on either side. The service was OK, but they seemed to lose track of us for a short time.
But the flavours were very good and the portions large.“

“Great people and great food. There’s events every night. So fun“

“Awesome brewery with absolutely delightful brews. Great live music events and super tasty food trucks and vendors. I love this place!“

“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!“

“Great Food. Great people!!“

“New York Pizza in Palo Alto is, in my opinion, the best pizza in the Bay Area. The taste of their pizzas is absolutely delightful, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The staff is just amazing, so attentive, friendly, and always ready to serve and make sure you’re satisfied. I love dining in, but their delivery service is also fantastic. It’s a treat every single time! Thank you for everything!“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“This place is awesome and makes the best gluten free almond cookies --my favorite are the ones that are half dipped in dark chocolate. I am addicted to their biscotti and cannoli! I love to snack on many of my favorite biscotti varieties such as the dark chocolate dipped hazelnut, chocolate chip no nuts, orange dark chocolate dipped & the OMG LEMON WHITE chocolate is refreshing! They also have a unique pastry shaped like a clamshell & is super crispy flaky crunchy on the outside but baked with a savory sweet orange zest ricotta cheese filling inside. It's irresistable when its warmed up. Definitely worth a visit & a fantastic place to purchase year-round gifts & bring treats to the office. EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD!!!“

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!“

“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“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“The food was really very tasty. The staff were very humble and courteous. Food was served in an excellent way.“

“This place is absolutely incredible!!! The food is beyond delicious - especially the Korean dishes, which are so good they’ll leave you speechless. The service is wonderfully friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I also love that they have outdoor seating; it gives the restaurant such a pleasant and vibrant atmosphere.

If you go, you must try the Korean tteokbokki(spicy rice cake 떡볶이) korean fried chicken, and the kimchi fried rice , all highly recommended. Even the coffee is amazing here!!!! they serve it generously and it tastes fantastic.

Overall, a perfect spot for anyone looking for excellent food, outstanding service, and a great vibe!“
