Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Palo Alto

Nathan J. • July 22, 2020Some of the best chicken and paneer tikka masala in the Bay Area. They grill the chicken perfectly. Juicy, tender, and with the right amount of flavor and spice. Delightful.

Fran F. • July 8, 2017Lamb meatballs, beet salad, raviolis...everything is fabulous. If their homemade sour cherry ice cream is on the dessert menu, don't pass it up! Wait staff is super friendly.

Paul M. • March 22, 2015The coffee is great, as expected, but so is the food menu. Beautiful space. Great for hanging out, getting work done, or just enjoying a pleasant coffee.

Karolina 🦖 • December 31, 2015Amazing! Huge cupcakes, and they look so pretty... Red velvet cupcake is a must.

Stella N. • May 9, 2017Teriyaki quinoa bowl, refreshing hangover RX drink and sea buckthorn cherry sorbet! That was something! Also, what a satisfying interior:) just great.

Marc K. • January 24, 2019Loved, love, loved the food here! One of the more ‘upmarket’ Greek tavernas I’ve eaten at and each dish (shared plates) did not disappoint! Opa!! Get the Octopus and the sautéed greens.

Catherine M. • May 13, 2018Loose open hours. Just drop-by if you have an itching for caffeine. All quality ingredients & personalized orders (not like Starbucks). All tea blends unique & handmade. Colored pens for doodling.

Jesse J. • June 26, 2015Under new management! This place is an absolute gem in the already impressive Palo Alto. Come enjoy a local wine to live music in an open, airy atmosphere. I can't recommend Vino Locale enough!

Claudia F. • September 27, 2019Whatever the flavor is with cheese - CHOOSE IT. it’s weirdly amazing. As is the “root” flavor.

Katie Y. • September 5, 2015Get the fresh cinnamon rolls and corned beef hash and the hash brown pie!

Suzy C. • June 15, 2017This isn't a winery, but when you need wine, you need wine! It's super cute and right off University. Perfect place to go before dinner, and why not...after dinner too. Small inside, so best for 2.

Rissa F. • February 18, 2019Love their seasonal stuff right now! The caramel matcha latte is amazing (made with pandan caramel!)

Chris M. • March 16, 2022Probably the best brunch place in town. Come early to find a seat. The latte is awesome and the fried chicken maple is divine. 10/10

Douglas G. • July 17, 2016The two grain bowls (earth and bay) are very filling. Great healthy lunch!

LocoCat • December 28, 2012The Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We love it more than the BCP at Mission Pie in SF. Fresh bananas, perfect custard (not too firm not too runny) and a thick graham cracker crust!
