Best Restaurants for Groups in Portola Valley

We got a seat at the bar ordered cocktails and small dishes. Everything was uniformly excellent. The barkeeper was knowledgeable and made a beautifully balanced Manhattan. The small dishes recommonded were all tasty and of high quality. Overall the only reason to dock a star is that Nobu is expensive (big surprise). But if you are not cost sensitive, then this is an excellent place for high quality drinks and light dishes. Recommended.

Really excellent food. Short ribs were fork tender and so tasty, as were scallop crudo and brussel sprouts. Noise level was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Excellent friendly service. Gonna be a regular place for me.

We have dined at Evvia for over 25 years, and it remains a favorite, especially for special occasions. Always a warm and inviting setting, with excellent food and service. We'll be back!

Meyhouse Palo Alto is an excellent restaurant for Turkish Mediterranean food. The food was really exceptional. They make their own delicious creamy yogurt which they use in dishes. So if you enjoy yogurt, you will love this place and they have unique salads and excellent fish on the menu. The food is super healthy and delicious. I definitely want to go back for more. They have a full bar and excellent Turkish wines. The restaurant is also nicely designed. But it can get a little noisy in some places where there might be larger groups.

First time trying this place out and it beat our expectations. We had the deviled eggs, coconut rice, fiery chicken and curry chicken which were all excellent. Highly recommend this place and look forward to going back
