Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Portola Valley

The warm greeting at the door was the beginning of impeccable service for the night. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert with the lamb chops and Galaktoboureko as true standouts. It was a great way to celebrate our 39th anniversary!

We had a fantastic meal. Beetini's on the menu again, amazing duck confit and the donuts!!! One of the best meals ever.

Besides the food being the best around…prime rib truly melts in your mouth …the employees there are such great human beings! This was my mom's and my favorite restaurant. This was my first time dining without her. But instead of a sad night, my waiter, Ashely, and the staff went above and beyond for me when I came in on one of their busiest nights to honor my late mother and best friend. The compassion and kindness Ashely and her manager Peter showed me was unbelievable!! They are wonderful human beings and showed me that there are still wonderful people in the world.

Extremely pleased overall with the Xmas Eve dinner experience (ordered from the set menu) because of the great service by Gregory, waiter, and the outdoor Sommelier, name forgotten, as well as the quality, presentation, and variety of dishes (Caviar blini, rib eye, and desserts were great). Service by other staff was omnipresent without being intrusive. Wine list is immense but bottles weren't the thing for my group and thus we were happy to have the sommelier provide guidance about drinks by the glass. Sat outdoor which was not too pleasant even if heat lamps abounded and blankets were offered. The gain in space was offset by the cooler temperature and the (too) casual look of many customers outdoors (not the same for the crowd indoors). Anyways, this was a nice way to pass an Xmas eve and definitely would consider this restaurant when next searching for a fine dining experience.

The whole experience was fabulous. Our server, Andy, made the entire experience so much more enjoyable and adapted the courses to each of our respective palates. every course they brought out was divine, and truly food like we had never had before. 100/10 experience, would highly recommend to anyone considering!
