Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Menlo Park

Club sandwich had bone pieces in the shredded chicken but affogato was great. Have had the dip sandwich previously & was delicious. Along with the butterscotch brûlée.

This is our second time here and we definitely think it’s a special occasion sort of experience. With a seasonal menu you may not always receive what you see online or in reviews/photos but you’ll usually find something you want to order without too many upgrades but depending on your taste you may want to do a $5-$125 upgrade. The cocktails and wines we had were good but if you’re doing a really special event like an engagement or anniversary and prefer to bring a special bottle the corkage fee is $75 and well worth it if you have a really unique or important bottle. Service was mostly good but keep in mind this is a sit down experience that is not to be rushed. You can book the private dining room which we have done before and if you book outside even for night time the patio is quite enjoyable and still warm enough. They may want to consider changing their doorway mat more during rainy season to decrease the musky wet smell you get when you first walk in but the candles and other decor help. They did charge us for a wine bottle we didn’t have ($240) and we had to ask them to remove it so be careful but a true honest mistake, just wish they admitted it better and gave us a reason to not question it going forward like a credit to the restaurant or something. We specifically enjoyed the tuna or beets app, entrees of lobster, duck, or seabass, and beignets as dessert

Great atmosphere and service. They made us feel special while we celebrated our anniversary.

Although this restaurant has been around for several years, we had ne4ver tried it before. We now have a new local favorite! We had an all-appetizer lunch, and each dish was delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. We will be back!

Overall, excellent. Just a couple comments: First, the appetizers came out very quickly (a good thing TM) but they beat our initial drinks (wine and beer) by a good 10 minutes. Second, I ordered the filet mignon "medium" because I had been at a Las Vegas steakhouse recently where "medium rare" was barely warm meat. But here the steak came out cooked truly medium and on a very hot plate. So if you like medium rare, you can trust them to do it right, I think. No complaints about how they cooked my steak; just saying I was too conservative in how I ordered it. All food was excellent; service very attentive. It's a louder place but by the end, it had emptied out and quieted down. We were there 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. on a Thursday. If it wasn't quite so expensive, we'd go more often.
