“THIS was sooooo good! came here during a summer event and me and friends were walking around campus before a presentation when we spotted this place slightly hidden from others. we went inside and while ordering we got to talk to the lovely staff (a few of whom were stanford students) and they told us about working in the area etc. nice place with even nicer food“

“Coupa Cafe had the best coffee of anywhere I went in Palo Alto. I loved the flavor and intensity of the Marron in particular!“

“IAbsolutely love this cafe! I always come here for the Havana cappuccino - it’s so delicious. Today, I tried their salad for the first time, and I have to say, this place is a hidden gem for salads. The signature avocado salad is incredibly tasty! unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere, and I keep craving it. It feels healthy and fresh, too. All the cookies are great as well. I’m so happy this cafe is close to where I work!“

“I was meaning to write this last week, but a few days ago I went to visit Stanford University and I came across this cafe. The cashier at the time (whose name is Jose) was so nice and helpful with my order. Not only did he recommend a great food and drink item but he also informed me about the rewards system and he helped me go through the process step by step. I don't normally write these types of reviews, but I wanted to spend an extra minute out of my day to do this because I could tell he works hard, and good service can be quite hard to come by these days. This made my visit to Stanford very pleasing and I cant wait to go back! Thank you for taking the time to cater to me, Jose!“

“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 food and pet friendly.“

“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.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!🧋“

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

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Came in with family and tried mostly vegetarian options. There were plenty to choose from. Veg fried rice was really good and veg Manchurian had perfect Indo Chinese taste that I have had in a long time. We do recommend and would visit again.“

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

“If you’re trying their signature Miso Caramel Latte, may I recommend going with the iced latte option? While the hot latte is still good, the umami-ness of miso and the contrast of the flavors is much more pronounced in the iced latte version.“

“This place is about a mile off the main freeway. It's a small little hole in the wall buger joint. They do breakfast and pastrami sandwiches among other things. They are fast and super friendly. The food is super great, and the give you large portions. This is a must do if you're on the burger trail on the 880 freeway.“

“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“

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

“Manny was the kindest employee I have had have the chance of meeting. He is extremely genuine and builds upon a positive experience to every customer he comes across. He even helped my boyfriend on some tricks to better his Spanish. All in all if I could give my experience more than five stars I would!!!“

“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.“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“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🤤“

“I had a great time over there. Delicious food 🥘“

“Stopped in for Dinner, only one vegan protein option, but it didn't disappoint, probably the best beyond meat ive ever tasted, great sides, and delicious strawberry mint lemonade as well, great atmosphere and very friendly and informative staff, will definitely return again“

“the best chicken Caesar salad and garlic toast - love this Newark location and vibe!“

“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.“

“The high reviews caught my eye. One thing to note is that the food though delicious was a bit too salty. We ordered like 7 dishes to share with 7 people family style but half of the dishes were just way too salty, even for my tastes when I personally enjoy heavily-salted foods. It could be a one-off but I also submitted this review for the free desserts (which is very nice and not too sweet).

Aside from that I would definitely give this restaurant a try again in the future if I hear that their salt levels were better balanced and accounted for.“

“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.“
