Tootsie's at the Cantor Arts Center

Easily the best restaurant on the Stanford campus - without comparison. The food is super fresh, delicious, healthy, creative, service is excellent, and there's beautiful outdoor seating next to the Rodin garden. I've been coming nearly every day since I discovered it.

Service was good, but the burger is quite possibly the worst I've ever had. I genuinely prefer a mcdouble. The patty was awful. It was a little undercooked, and it had no crust at all - the texture was just horrific. It was more like a meatloaf than a burger patty.

The thing smelled rank - I'm guessing it might have been the tallegio cheese. Perhaps that's just me not liking tallegio and it's my fault, but regardless it's how they choose to serve it. The bun was also mediocre. The best part were the onions, but they hadn't caramelized long enough - they were soft, but not even a little bit brown as caramelized onions ought to be. Caramelizing onions takes 45-60 minutes - this felt like a 15-minute job.

One other issue - their tableside menus display different (lower) prices than the wall menu and the prices they actually charge. I don't appreciate the bait and switch.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here! The pasta bolognese was delicious, as were the sandwiches. Prices are very reasonable, even less expensive than similar quality food in downtown Palo Alto. Service was kind and speedy. Location is great - I love sitting outside in the shade, and going into Cantor afterwards and enjoying the art and AC ?

I love Tootsies. I am from Peru and when I visited the museum i had lunch there. The pizza is AMAZING, you can taste the delicious flavor of Italian food. The service was friendly, they recommended also to try the pasta which is made there, it was an OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPERIENCE! I cannot recommend it enough.

I used to like tootsies, but knowing that an employee was let go over false customer complaints is very upsetting and the fact that the employee was fired over lies is even more disappointing.

I was brought here by a colleague for lunch. The selection was basic but not uncustomary for eateries on campus. Outdoor seating was available and nice.However, their service left much to be desired. The older Hispanic woman at the cashier was acting vulgar and unprofessional. She was literally yelling at me while I made my selection and kept making me repeat what I wanted, which was weird and unnecessary. In contrast, she was all smiling at my colleague. Management should tell her that all customers are customers, not just the ones picking up the bill and deciding how much to tip her.
