    The atmosphere is contemporary and beautiful, the service was excellent, the Thanksgiving meal had delicious choices for meat, fish, and vegetarian, and was price fixed for appetizers-dessert. Drinks were very good as well. The background music was relaxing. Had a very nice time and will go back again!

    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.

    The food was fantastic!!! We were the only people there unfortunately. They even had a band playing. We enjoyed the food a lot!! The service was so so but I understand. She was had no customers so that means she’s making very little money. But I’d give my one customers the best service they ever had if it was me. But the business and cooks deserve the five star rating. 100%!! Fantastic place to take a date or your visiting parents. Loved it!!!!
