“Great Food. Great people!!“

“Amazing place and structure to co-work! Love the vibrant atmosphere! Feel very welcomed here and can focus on my tasks in a cool place! There’s plenty of tables and seats! Whether you want to grab a bite drink with a friend or just be to yourself peacefully, there’s space for all of that! The tater tots are delicious!“

“A place that values quality and source of ingredients“

“A SUPERB RESTAURANT. [Original] A SUPERB RESTAURANT.“

“We come to this restaurant regularly and it never disappoints. We were there again for Thanksgiving with a group of friends, and it was perfect as always. They offered their regular menu along with a Thanksgiving special. The turkey was outstanding: perfectly cooked, flavorful, and incredibly moist.
Everything here is consistently delicious, with a great range of options, and the prices remain very reasonable (which has become rare these days!). The food, the atmosphere, the service and the reliability keep us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Best place to go after the holidays, nice service, excellent food and very tasty wine …“

“Fantastic night! Enjoyed Sema and her hospitality tremendously!“

“Went for lunch on a weekday. The menu is mostly breakfast-oriented, so options for a more traditional lunch were limited. Cubano sandwich was kinda unremarkable; not bad, lots of meat on it. Atmosphere and service were nice, but unless I was going out for breakfast specifically I probably wouldn’t go back.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“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“

“The lavender lemondrop is a wonderful pre-dinner cocktail and the fresh greens as a starter was perfect before our dinners of crab gnocchi and mushroom risotto. Just delicious and the service was, as always, attentive and professional. This is a place where you can have quiet conversations without a lot of interruption and never disappoints with the food.“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“I went to celebrate my friends birthday. We had a delicious vodka cocktail (actually 2 each!) coconut shrimp and pork belly appetizers. And we're too full for another dish! Except of course a shared dessert. It was sort of like French toast with pistachios as part of the crust. Over blueberries and very light whipped cream. And of course,I forgot to mention the milk bread. (Got one loaf to go to take home to BF who wolfed it down). Super place. Super service. Super food.“

“The do called "inclusive" atmosphere is really just an owner who hates everyone who has different views. If your social or political views are woke, you aren't welcome. Spend your money elsewhere. This guy is an idiot.“

“i like this place all very fresh“

“Es un restaurante muy bonito, sus platos muy bien servidos y deliciosos! Recomiendo a Local Union siempre, excelente servicio el de Guadalupe y Estefany!“

“fast customer service and good food“

“Horsefeather is a beautiful spot that clearly puts a lot of care into its atmosphere. The decor is stunning — detailed, well-thought-out, and full of character. You can tell the team took their time crafting a space that feels inviting and stylish. Service was excellent. The staff were attentive, quick to refresh water glasses, and even took care to replace the table felt, keeping everything spotless and comfortable. As for the food, everything was solid and well-executed. The salmon was prepared nicely — classic and straightforward. The wild mushroom pasta was the highlight of the meal, rich and flavorful with great depth. The shrimp tacos were another standout; fresh, well-balanced, and seemingly made completely in-house.The only drawback is the pricing; it’s definitely on the higher side for what you get. Still, given it’s Palo Alto, that comes with the territory. Overall, a lovely dining experience with great service and a beautiful setting.“

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

“Service only assisted when chased down. The food was okay, nothing special and perhaps overcooked. Please , please wash your windows! The view is one of the best parts of your inside facilities and it was covered in a smear of dirt and streaks. Quiet and available for a last minute Mother's Day supper with plenty of parking.“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“Awesome restaurant with amazing ambiance, well orchestrated and friendly service, and excellent seasonal foods using top quality ingredients. Everything is beautiful and delicious. One of our favorite restaurants and a great celebration spot.“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“The atmosphere here is very inviting with a beautifully designed interior that really stands out. The wooden dining table adds a unique touch to the experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the service excellent. The food was flavorful and well prepared, and the cocktail complemented the meal perfectly.“

“Fantastic food and service, great for special occasions.“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“Fast friendly service and excellent food. It’s and enjoyable experience each time.“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“We had a lovely lunch. Food and service were excellent!“

“Had dinner with some friends, had the crepes, amazing stuff. The staff is the best, friendly, beautiful very efficient. highly recommended...“

“BG is a gorgeous restaurant, with well prepared food, and live music/jazz, most days of the week. Owners are very personable and hands-on, which is rare, amongst restaurants. Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!“

“The environment is very nice and food is 😋😋😋“

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

“Lovely spot. Definitely a bit tucked in and hidden so I think it’s mostly meant to serve the folks in the business park. That being said I found it quite easily with help of the google street view image. The server was a lovely woman, definitely great service! The food was delicious. Quiet space with simple but nice decor.“

“I went to dinner with my husband we shared the calamari. It was excellent. Then we shared three sliders. With salad and French I enjoyed two glasses of wine my husband was unhappy Because they don’t serve hard liquor he had a hard day at the office and looking forward to taking me out for dinner. and enjoying a couple of drinks. and would she he really needed“

“The staff here are beyond excellent.. Millie Gabe are fantastic bartender’s he are friendly and make wonderful drinks.. Mike Omir Lucus are warm and accommodating to their guests. Karen is pleasant and runs a tight ship and yet makes you feel like you are the only guest here.. It is a joy to be included in such a warm and welcoming place

Vegetarian options: Needs more options“

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍“

“Tonight, after a long and tiring day at work, I visited Society Restaurant & Hookah Lounge to relax—and it was the perfect choice. The place is beautiful, calming, and has such a great vibe with relaxing music. The staff were amazing: very kind, welcoming, and truly hospitable. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating; I personally love sitting outside, but since it was raining, I chose to sit inside and still had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend their kanafa and tea—they were incredibly delicious. This is a perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy quality time. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I had the most amazing experience and it was my first time. I will definitely go back before l leave San Francisco.“

“Beautiful venue - food was amazing!“

“Always try to go at least once when I’m in Old El Palo Alto.“

“BJ's is consistently good and the service today with Aja T. was outstanding. Our only complaint was that our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, so we brought home a LOT of food. And that's really NOT a problem! Good food, good atmosphere, reasonable prices, a great place for a group, and great service. Love having BJ's in the neighborhood.“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent food Best gelato too“

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.“

“Great just like my mom’s homemade cooking Carrot cake moist. Good. Coffee. Waiters are Courteous“

“Pretty drinks and yummy food“

“Update: I had breakfest yesterday and today. I had privilege to have been attended Murcial and was such a delight with his energy. We started speaking in Spanish and had a great talk. His energy is far from few. You don't get to experience these special moments where you connect with someone on a deeper level. He explained how a smile can really change someones how look and experience. Please PLEASE give Murcial a shoutout. That's a genuine customer service experience.

This is a nice restaurant within the Hyatt Regency Hotel. It's right dead center of the place. The atmosphere is unique to the hotel. The wait for the food was decent. The hostesses were really nice. I had a flat Pepsi and they switched it out for me. Even the other waitress went and grabbed me a Starry versus a Sprite. She went out of her way to do that meant a lot. The other server was already on her way to deliver me a new drink. I felt spoiled having both bring me drinks. I didn't need a refill at that point. I felt welcomed for sure! When I first was sat down, the waiter who sat me sparked up a conversation and complimented my hat that I got from the RSAC event. It's nice to have a solo dinner and to be greeted a special wait. It ties in the whole experience. I ordered a well done cheese burger and it was great! Kudos to the staff!“

“Recommended 100%, great food, great place to have breakfast with your family and friends, been there so many times with my family every time we have a chance, if you want to have a great meal with your loved ones and friends.. hey let me tell you.. this is definetely the place!..five stars!!“
