“A truly wonderful place in the hills above Woodside/Palo Alto. Great, attentive and friendly stuff. The vibe is cool and wonderful being surrounded by the redwoods. Food was good, drink section vast, and seating areas plenty. Love it here!“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“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! I love this place. So good.“

“We were visiting from Boston on a family trip and stopped by this restaurant on July 2. The food was absolutely delicious(my top pick is black king but sides are also good, chicken and dumplings), but what made our visit truly unforgettable was the incredible hospitality from one of your staff members.

Unfortunately, we never got his name, but he was a Korean staff member. From the moment we were waiting in line, he noticed our 5yo drawing on the order sheet and kindly interacted with her. Throughout our meal, he kept checking on us and made our whole family feel so welcome.

Before we finished our meal, he came over to let us know that he was heading home for the day. Because of that, we never had the chance to properly thank him, which is something we’ve regretted ever since.

Our trip lasted two weeks, taking us all the way from San Diego to San Francisco, and we visited many wonderful restaurants along the way. Yet, almost a month later, our kids still talk about “the uncle” from this restaurant and keep asking when we can come back. That says more than any review ever could.

If we ever have the opportunity, we’d love to come back just to thank him in person. And if by any chance you’re reading this review—thank you for making our family trip so special. Your kindness left a lasting memory for all of us.

If you ever find yourself visiting Boston, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love the chance to return the kindness you showed our family.“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Curry puffs were good, crisp and very nice sauce. Thai iced tea on the less sweet side with very cute bear ice on top. Pad thai had some slightly undercooked noodles, not enough peanuts for texture, and what I think was tofu that was textured extremely dry.“

“I found this bakery when I was looking for a place to purchase alfajores and I was so happy to have found it! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and my first visit was nothing but a very nice experience. Two young men behind the counter seemed really friendly and helpful. The other customers in the store at the time seemed very happy. I came for alfajores today, but I will definitely go back for more alfajores and other goodies!“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Zareen stands out as a unique and exceptional restaurant, particularly renowned for its delectable Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Their food is truly exceptional, offering a distinct departure from conventional Indian dishes. The restaurant’s unique taste sets it apart from the rest. Notably, their mango lassi is a popular beverage that is highly recommended for any visitor. The naan, especially the garlic naan, is particularly noteworthy for its exceptional flavor. The overall quality of the food at Zareen is consistently high, making it challenging for patrons to choose a dish that they will not enjoy. This highly recommended restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking authentic and flavorful Indian and Pakistani cuisine.“

“My order was a Spicy-Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and OMGGG the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had in awhile, don’t be fooled by the spicy, depending on your spice level, if you are a person that does not like spicy food, avoid this sandwich 🤣🤣 I eat spicy and it was a good spicy, I would definitely recommend this sandwhich. I accompanied this sandwhich with their delicious cheddar bacon ranch fries! BEST FRIES EVERRRR! The staff was very lovely and very nice!“

“First time diners. Sat inside and loved the dining room. Their “patio” is a parklet on the street, nice but still a street view. Lived the ambiance and restaurant vibe. The wait staff is obviously well trained as they are super professional and attentive. Most of the servers are a bit more mature than your average restaurant server, so they seem to take great pride and ownership in their work. We never wanted for anything nor did we feel hovered over. We ordered the calamari, which had a nice breading and was relatively tender compared to most. We also shared a Greek dinner salad, which was quite fresh but the dressing lacked much flavor, though my partner thought it was really good. She had the salmon, which is served with a light tomato based sauce, lemon mashed potatoes and zucchini. The salmon was a wee bit over cooked and didn't really have much flavor. I think she said, “kind of bland.” She always compares salmon ordered out to the Pacific Rim Salmon at Shadowbrook in Capitola, which she absolutely loves. I ordered the roast chicken, which was served with broccolini and roasted fingerling potatoes. The chicken portion is substantial and the chicken, which is roasted over an open flame in the exhibition kitchen was tender and delicious. The vegetables were very good. We shared the baklava, which comes with vanilla ice cream. The baklava was pretty dense but was tasty. We would definitely return...“

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend“

“love this place. might be expensive but worth it been com I ng here for years“

“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“

“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.“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“Superb Vacas Fritas! Crispy yet succulent and juicy. Build your own bowls, wraps, and platters is the theme. Loved every bite here. The mojito was very good. Room for improvement would be that they could use a few more beer options. I will be back for more.“

“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!“

“Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.“

“Food was fantastic! Covid has hit all restaurants hard and La Stanza was new to Menlo Park opening in January 2020. The owner / chef has his Italian cuisine dialed. The cesar salad was dressed to perfection served on a chilled plate w/shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.. Delish! My short rib ravioli special was exactly what I was hoping for. Hand made in house pasta baked to perfection. My wife had the sacchettto vegi pasta pocket stuffed w/vegis . The red sauce had tremendous flavor... and perfect to mop up with the bread. 🤪... This place is a must try!“

“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.“

“This was my first visit to Mardini’s Deli, and it definitely won’t be my last! The customer service was outstanding—everyone was welcoming, friendly, and made me feel right at home. The sandwiches were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and generous portions you get. If you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and great value, I highly recommend Mardini’s Deli!“

“Zadna is wonderful.The food is absolutely delicious and the people are fabulous. Please make sure to support them.They deserve it.“

“First time at dinner here. We started with rajasthani patta chaat . it was really good. very authentic taste from North India. paani puri was great too.
Dal Makhani deserves special mention. Cooked to perfection but why would they put sugar in it😏 my only reason for a 4. malai kofta and lachha parantha were great. I would recommend this place for a wholesome family meal.
might want to try their brunch menu someday. Heard great reviews about it.“
