Featuring an ever changing mix of seasonally driven small plates, tapas, and larger dishes, alongside a menu of craft cocktails, great wines by the glass and the bottle, and non-alcoholic options, Canteen is the "Urban Oasis" Menlo Park has been clamoring for. The vibe is laid back with a mix of bar, communal, informal style seating. Canteen is the perfect place to meet up with friends, family and colleagues, for whatever reason (or no reason at all). In the warmer months Canteen features an expansive outdoor patio, perfect for sharing a pitcher of Sangria and a symphony of small plates + pintxos.

    The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable but did not hang around and interrupt our dinner. The food was outstanding, the Patatas Bravas were crispy and flavorful, the octopus was tender and had just the right amount of char on it, and the churros were well balanced with a crunchy exterior a slightly chewy interior and not overly sweet like so many churros you get in a restaurant.

    After giving the server mild ribbing over the soft serve “swirl” actually not being a swirl and that the cookies that normally accompany not present, the manager came by and offered some cookies that had been set aside (baker was absent that day) and to comp us the non-swirl swirl. We accepted the cookies and declined the comp, but it was a GREAT gesture!
