“They have a surprisingly delicious breakfast burrito that comes with your choice of meat (bacon, chorizo, ham), a generous amount of creamy scrambled eggs, and cheese. Comes with a side of potatoes, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. And all for a relatively reasonable price of $15. It could definitely use a touch more meat.

A welcomed oasis on a long and winding drive (or a bike ride), Alice's is tucked in the middle of a dense forest where it's swaddled by redwood trees. There's also a little general store to grab some snacks, beverages and use the restroom. You come to Alice's for the vibes, not necessarily the food.”

“It was very nice. Food was great and atmosphere wonderful!”

“Great food and pet friendly.”

“Robin in Menlo Park has quickly become one of my absolute favorite sushi restaurants in the Bay Area.

I’ve been here at least ten times now, and each visit feels just as exciting as the first. The consistency, creativity, and attention to detail are what make this place stand out in the Bay Area dining scene.

One of the best things about Robin is the flexibility of the menu. You can choose à la carte if you have favorites in mind, or you can go for the omakase and let the chefs guide your evening. I’ve experienced both, and I can honestly say you can’t go wrong either way. The omakase is particularly special — every dish arrives beautifully plated, with flavors that are fresh, innovative, and balanced. The fish quality is always top-notch, from the buttery otoro to the delicate hamachi, and the chefs often surprise you with unique touches that make each course memorable.

The à la carte options are equally impressive, especially if you want to revisit your favorites. The nigiri and small plates showcase the freshness of the ingredients, and the variety keeps the dining experience exciting. Even the desserts are worth saving room for — light, creative, and the perfect way to finish the meal.

The atmosphere inside Robin is modern yet welcoming, with a stylish design that still feels comfortable. Service is another highlight: the staff are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely make you feel taken care of.

Robin has become one of my favorite restaurants in Silicon Valley, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, it always feels unforgettable.”

“Great! I love this place. So good.”

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend”

“The aburasoba uses ramen that has a chewy texture. It’s a dry ramen (no soup) and you can chose from multiple types of toppings. Servings are very filling. This place can get packed.”

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.”

“Sekoya has been on our list for a while, and we were finally able to make it for a birthday celebration. They made it special from the start, giving us a personalized menu with ‘happy birthday’. The inside of the restaurant has a cool vibe to it, so if you’re looking for something more special I’d recommend that. Otherwise the heated covered patio is a great option. Their cocktail program is extensive and absolutely fantastic. But the food, that is where the magic is happening. We started with the tuna tartare- fresh, classic. The plantain chips give it a nice flavor. The crispy prawns were over a bed of papaya salad and spicy mayo- a balance of sweet, spicy and crunchy in each bite. For mains, we had to try their burger. This 6oz patty was flavored in I don’t know what, but it was easily one of our top burgers of the year. The side of truffle French fries were a classic but could be skipped. The roasted scallops were large, perfectly cooked over polenta and topped with bacon jam. If I could have licked my plate I would have. A MUST get was, yes, the beef tongue skewer. Our waiter told us it would be his last meal so naturally we had to try it. It was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. We will definitely be ordering it again. To celebrate the meal (and our birthday), we got the mini crispy chocolate chip cookies with a side of vanilla ice cream. The perfect pairing to end an amazing meal. There are so many other good options on the menu we cannot wait to come back!”

“Being Greek, I was highly anticipating Evvia Estiatorio in Palo Alto, and it exceeded my expectations and delivered an outstanding dining experience with authentic flavors and a vibrant atmosphere. The meal began with classic appetizers—creamy tatziki and sizzling saganaki—which captured the essence of Greek cuisine and set a delicious tone for the evening. For the main course, I had the whole grilled lavraki (Mediterranean sea bass) and it stood out for its perfectly cooked, flaky texture and fresh-herb seasoning. Our table also enjoyed the hearty lamb shank served over orzo, the flavorful ravioli, and a generous portion of pastitsio (the special of the night); each dish looked impressive and was praised by everyone at the table.
Dining outdoors added a special touch, with the weather being absolutely perfect—comfortably warm with a gentle breeze—making the outdoor seating feel like a Mediterranean escape. The service was remarkably fast and attentive: staff made sure every detail was just right, and empty plates were swiftly replaced without interrupting conversation. The meal finished on a high note with Evvia’s house-made cheesecake topped with luscious huckleberry sauce, which was truly divine and provided a sweet, memorable end to the evening.
After a day spent walking around the area and exploring nature, this dinner was the perfect way to relax and enjoy great company, delicious food, and flawless hospitality. Evvia blends old-world charm with contemporary excellence—a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-tier Greek dining experience in Palo Alto.”

“I think it must take a lot of effort to source the ingredients to be able to serve sushi of this caliber in San Francisco. It's a great honor to be a fishmonger.‼️”

“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! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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

“We have been here for breakfast multiple times, and we will keep going back. We love Turkish breakfast and they serve a good Turkish breakfast here. Staff are very nice and welcoming.”

“The halibut tasted amazing — moist and flavorful, with a natural sweetness that didn’t overpower the fish. Pairing it with curry sauce, nuts, and fresh vegetables was the perfect finishing touch.”

“Amazing food and excellent service - highly recommend”

“Delicious food and great service! Second time here and my family keeps asking me home back. Staff provides great recommendations and services extremely fast despite having a full house. Definitely one of the better skewer places in the bay!”

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!”

“First time getting a drink and it was so fast and delicious! I love the small round tables you can sit cross cross applesauce on. I love the music they play and overall it’s a vibe. The food is delicious and the service is fast!”

“Yummy empanadas and desserts.”

“On a Tuesday night 7pm, there is still 15 minute wait. This place is popular. You order off a QR code and the system supports multi user ordering for the same table. The skewers are tasty. I wish the skewers are spicier so next time I will put in an extra request. You get a birthday gift bag if you show your ID on the day of your birthday!”

“Very nice modern spot with a clean aesthetic and friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The food is great comfort fare — I highly recommend the Original Single Patty with fries for a classic combo. The Mushroom Chicken is a flavorful option if you’re looking for something different, and the Mac N Cheese is creamy and satisfying. Portions are generous, definitely great for sharing. Overall, a solid choice for a casual bite while shopping.”
