New American Restaurants near Stanford, CA

“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.“

“They have many. Places to eat that are familiar to folks like Starbucks coffee, Jamba Juice,Panda Express and Subway. There are also some independent places like the Coho Coffee House and the treehouse now both have very good food and beer available.“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“

“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“

“Great Food. Great people!!“

“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.“

“i like this place all very fresh“

“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.“

“Steins is a great restaurant with a wide beer selection! They also sponsor the annual MV Oktoberfest!“

“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.“

“love this place. I get something different each time I go. everything has been great.“

“This is probably the best restaurant in Sunnyvale! Literally everything was perfect. Valley Goat is everything you’d expect from a Michelin star establishment. They have perfected and mastered their flavors along with cooking every dish to the absolute perfection. Of the 10 dishes we ordered, including dessert, there is literally nothing to critique. Even the cocktails were masterfully crafted and balance.

On top of an absolutely stellar dinner, the ambiance of the entire restaurant is mesmerizing with the greenery and modern elegance of all the decor.

Lastly, a huge shoutout to our server, Angel, would went above and beyond to secure us some amazing anniversary party hats and ensured we had the best birthday meal possible!!“

“I randomly found this place on Google Maps. It looks like they might have opened recently.
It’s a little confusing to figure out where the entrance and parking are, because you can’t really see the café from the road. The area is surrounded by offices, so at first it almost seems like there’s no café there.

But it turned out to be a great find. This was honestly the best sandwich I’ve had in America in the past 3 years. The bread was perfectly toasted and crispy, and the ingredients were fresh and very juicy.

The coffee was good as well. I also tried a pastry — the croissant was incredibly fresh“

“We stopped into Allstar Burgers for the first time over the weekend. Thus us an older no frills building, but it seemed to be very well kept up. You order at the counter which the you man who took our order was very tentative and friendly. We sat at our table and the food was brought to us when ready. The Burgers we ordered were quite delicious. In our short time there we could see this was a very popular burger joint and it's easy to see why. The menu is no frills but everything you would expect at any local burger joint. We will be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

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!“

Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“
