Restaurants near Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve

Four of us had a wonderful pre holiday lunch and we are all extremely satisfied customers for close to 20 years. The food was amazing, we began with fried calamari and the cauliflower soup. We shared the branzino (deboned ) sole fish, lamb chops and the chicken souvlaki. For dessert two of us enjoyed Judy's ice cream sundae and an order of galaktourrko and the chocolate cake. Delicious.. Our server Pryush was beyond outstanding, very helpful and extremely pleasant.

Been to this restaurant many times bc of convenience, but it hasn’t been my favorite bc service is typically slow and the quality of the food inconsistent for the price, but last night everything was great, the service, the timeliness of the food arrival and the overall quality of the dishes were great. Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly, whatever the VB team did last night keep it going, and I’ll visit more often.

Outdoor dining at the Parkside is enchanting is good weather, while indoor dining in winter weather is cozy and intimate. The quality of the food is always remarkable, and the ambiance reflects impeccable taste. To be seated amongst the highly successful movers and doers, the cool, ambitious, intelligent, unpretentious sophisticates of Woodside and Portola Valley is a privilege. The patrons of the Parkside are from the demographic that put Silicon Valley on the global map. They have exquisite, subdued tastes and elect to dine at the Parkside; that speaks volumes.

Consistently fantastic food and one of the best fine dining cocktail menus as well. Beautiful dining room, impeccable friendly service. The only thing I could possibly complain about is the 4% junk fee they tack on. For $250+ /person junk fees should not pop up on the bill.

Great service, ambiance, and overall experience! We split some starters (the bread and veggies for the burrata was overcharred but the dish itself was perfect), and had the steak sandwich, Chinese chicken salad, Roasted Chicken, and Zambrini. Every dish was flavorful. Surprisingly the parking wasn’t as difficult as I had feared. I would definitely return. Just make sure to book well in advance!
