“Our party of Nine was lucky enough to get a semi private room with a door that closed because the music was so loud, we could hardly hear each other speak. Our servers were attentive and professional! The menu was full of items for everyone! Everyone had a great time and will definitely be back!“

“Great customer service, good food and fine wine 🍷“

“Everyone thought the food was really good. We had the whole branzino and both the beef and chicken souvlaki. Everything seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Thoughtful service. We split two salads among the four of us, and they actually plated them individually for us. We have a member of our group who must eat gluten free. They were very knowledgeable about celiac and helpful in making good choices and making sure everything was safe with no cross contact.“

Hands-down best wine bar in the Peninsula! Amazing selection, wines for all palates, beginners, vinos, and wine nerds alike. Staff is amazing, super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The flights are super fun and great to expand your palate. And if you study the wine list closely, you'll find some bottles priced at a steal! This has quickly become my go-to spot and it will become yours soon!“

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

“Okay, honestly really good food. My wife and I had the penne pesto, I added the grilled chicken and also asked for some Parmesan and red pepper flakes on the side. The pesto was tasty and the pasta was nicely cooked, the chicken was also super tasty. Highly recommend if you need a meal!

Only ding is that the music from the neighboring convenience mart could be heard contrasting the music played in vino volo.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“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! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food is incredible and so filling. Highly recommend the salmon and shrimp kebabs. My friend Sam chose this place and we had a great time!

There’s tons of indoor seating, and the restaurant vibe is great for friends or families. It can get a bit loud if you’re going at a peak time.

They bring pita out in the beginning (free app). Service is quick and servers are friendly/kind.
There’s parking in the back.

What else could you ask for?“

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

“Sat at the bar, by choice. Good selection of fine spirits, especially Japanese whiskey and tequila. Cocktails were very well made and balanced. We also asked for a mocktail modified to be “less sweet” than normal and it came out perfect. Food was great, not outstanding, but I would absolutely eat here again. The truffle fries were a miss for us since the white sauce makes them soggy. Burger and NY steak were exactly as advertised, possibly sous vide on the medium rare steak. The tempura mushrooms stood out to us as one of the best small dishes we ate. The Spanish Octopus was an unusually large tentacle, made me wonder how tender it would be. I prefer to have octopus more on the grilled side and that seemed to be lacking here but the favor was decent. The oysters were delicious!“

“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor“

“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“

“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!“

On top of this the waiter there remembered us from our past visit she is very nice and attentive. Overall will definitely come back here again.“

“December 4, 2025

Even though I reviewed Roja in September of 2024, I felt compelled to share my thoughts again because this restaurant is consistently improving and upgrading in every aspect. They truly seem dedicated to providing the best for their customers, and I can't help but appreciate their efforts!

On of the aspects I truly love about Roja is their commitment to seasonal menu changes. It keeps the dining experience fresh and exciting! Beef Wellington is on the menu now and I must say it was the highlight of my dining experience! It was cooked to perfection; the tenderloin within was a gorgeous, rosy pink medium -rare and incredibly tender. The outer layer was a triumph of texture: a crisp golden brown, and wonderfully flaky puff pastry crust. The balance of flavors and expert preparation were simply outstanding. It seemed like everyone around me was ordering it, which speaks volumes about its popularity! Immediately after I ordered, our waiter came over and expertly suggested wonderful wine pairings, and it's amazing how much the restaurant's wine list has grown since it opened in 2024.

I highly recommend this restaurant; it's an amazing all-around dining experience thanks to the excellent food, great wine selection, pleasant ambiance, and top-notch service. I also highly recommend making reservations as the tables fill up quickly!

(Review from Sept. 2024) Roja is an absolute delight! From the moment you step inside, the ambience wraps you in a warm, welcoming embrace. The decor is beautifully curated, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The food is truly fresh and outstanding, thanks to the incredible talent of co-owner and Chef Roberto Juarez. His culinary skills shine through in every dish, bursting with flavor and showcasing the quality of the ingredients. Whether you're indulging in his signature creations or trying something new, you won't be disappointed.

Adding to the experience, his partner and co-owner James Ashe, who is in charge of the bar, wine and cocktails, crafts some of the most exquisite drinks I've ever tasted. Each cocktail is a masterpiece, perfectly complementing the meal and enhancing the overall dining experience.

Service at Roja is impeccable. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They go above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of.

If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend Roja. It's a place where great food, beautiful ambiance and exceptional service comes together to create a truly special outing. Don't miss out on this gem!“

“I had the Branzino and it was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. My friend had the Paella and loved it. Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant. The prices seem a little high, but the food was amazing so I wasn't too bothered to pay. Service was excellent. Cute up and coming area amidst the many new apartment buildings and corporate buildings. I'll be back.“

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

“Went to lunch there today Food very tasty and this looks like it would be a fantastic Happy Hour Meet Up!!!!“

“i like this place all very fresh“

“Fun, friendly, non-pretentious place. And the burgers are all that you want and nothing you don’t.“

“Hannah is so amazing! She’s so attentive and checked in on us even before our drinks were on L (bottomless who?!) and on a Wednesday! She has amazing recommendations! But if you’re a beer bottler like me, make sure to have a cocktail list on the roster because they only have 3 beers on rotation 🫠 we also need to help the owner fill up the rest of the liquor shelf!

“If you want a quiet place to enjoy well prepared and curated food, with warm and professional service, and just relax w your favorite people, bistro elan is a gem. Love their ME scallops and seasonal soups. But don't miss the pickled golden beets, Côtes du Rhône by the glass, and desserts! We go for special occasions and also when we just spend time w our grown kids.“

“Absolutely fantastic… I will return!“

“We eat a lot of empanadas (my family lived in Buenos Aires for several years), these are our FAV to purchase when not making at home. So happy to have stumbled on this gem at a farmers market recently, had no idea they had a brick and mortar until we walked by and immediately changed our lunch plans!“

“Great walkable neighborhood“

“Le banc is just what Los Altos needs! A low key, no frills bar with good drinks, TV’s to watch your favorite sporting event, darts and the ability to bring in your own food of choice. This place has just the basics and is run by great people who know the biz!“

“My husband & I go to flemmings on special occasions, we love everything about the restaurant! Also awesome lemon drops🍸🍸🍸🍸👌😊“

“We had a wonderful experience with excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Special thanks to the staff who remembered us—it truly made us feel welcome. The food was outstanding, especially the savory dishes; the lobster sandwich was exceptional. The desserts were also very thoughtfully prepared. In particular, the balance between the scone and the clotted cream was perfect. We would absolutely love to visit again.“

“Date visited 08/2024: San Francisco Centurion Lounge on a Monday at 5:30 p.m. wasn’t too crowded. It was easy to find, though that might be because I had studied the terminal map beforehand. I’ve found other Centurion Lounges like the one at LAX, more challenging to locate.
Staff was quick to clean up after meals, and the food selection was good (forgot to take pics). One thing I found odd was the announcement reminding guests not to put their feet up on the couches or chairs.
Over the years, the Centurion Lounge has changed. It feels more accessible, losing some of its exclusivity. While I appreciate having access, I’m starting to question whether the $700 annual membership is worth it especially when other lounges offer more justification for the price. Just my two cents.
Aside from that, the experience was smooth, and the lounge was easily walkable from my gates. Not bad overall, but there’s definitely room for improvement.“

“Buenísima atención. Ideal para realizar trabajos, mientras disfrutas de una bebida.“

“Georgian (Southwesterly Asian) Cuisine ! Fav! Very glad to see that Bevri now has a larger restaurant! Great 👍🏾 food & service.“

“I had some time on my hands while my car was getting a new tire installed at American Tire. I walked north for awhile and found this wonderful coffee shop with tables in the blocked off street, free WiFi, great coffee, and friendly staff. I will return whenever I’m in the neighborhood. Thanks! Franklin San Francisco“
