- MMonicaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoCelebrated a girlfriend’s birthday in the outdoor patio. We had a lovely time. The food was great as well as the service. Since it was Valentine’s weekend we barely managed to get a reservation but the seating area was comfortable because of the heaters even in February.More infoCucina VentiPrice: Expensive• Italian• Mountain View•4.5
- KKarinVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •22 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoExcellent selection of authentic Turkish dishes, well executed and delivered with beautiful simplicity. Very gracious but efficient and professional and attentive service. Ambiance is lively and we loved the Turkish music at a level that still allowed for conversation at the table. Really enjoyed our evening and will be back!More infoMeyhouse Palo AltoPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Palo Alto•4.8
- SSerhatSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe recently dined at this wonderful gem in Palo Alto and had an unforgettable experience! As a party of two, we kicked off our evening with the Xinomavro wine and a refreshing Kickstarter cocktail. To our delight, the chef sent out a small corn soup as a complimentary starter, which was absolutely delightful. For appetizers, we ordered the tarama and keftedakia. Each bite was perfect, and we were happily enjoying them alongside our drinks. We also had the Greek salad and saganaki, the latter of which was flamed right at our table — a fun and impressive touch! The staff was friendly, professional, and very meticulous, taking the time to explain the ingredients of each dish. Our server, Andres, took exceptional care of us and ensured our experience was nothing short of perfect. A big thank you to him for making our evening special! For the main course, I opted for the Psaraki whole fish, and my guest had the Mousakka. Both dishes were exceptional and absolutely worth trying! The portion sizes are thoughtfully designed so you can enjoy a variety of flavors from the menu. This restaurant provides a top-tier dining experience that suits any budget. It’s truly a hidden gem in Palo Alto, and we can’t recommend it enough. We will definitely be back!More infoTAVERNA - Palo AltoPrice: Expensive• Greek• Palo Alto•4.8
- NNatashaVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoEvvia is one of my favorite all time restaurants. The food is consistently excellent and the service impeccable. Favorite dishes include the spreads, the Evvia salad, Greek salad, avgolemono soup, anything with lamb and the whole fish. The pasta never disappoints and if you want a hearty dish their moussaka is the very best outside Greece.More infoEvviaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Palo Alto•4.8
