Our party of four each enjoyed our meal. Service was friendly and not rushed. The menu is diverse so it was easy to find something which suited each of our tastes. We were celebrating a birthday which we did not mention but was noticed by our server who brought dessert, with a candle, to the honored guest. More

My husband and I went to The Sea by Alexander’s Steakhouse to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Since we knew we were running late for our original reservation through Open Table, I changed our reservation time. Unfortunately, I accidentally changed the reservation to the following day, but the hosts/hostess at the front graciously seated us with no problem. The seafood dishes we ordered (the soft shell crab appetizer w/ a side of wild mushrooms for me; the t-bone halibut for my husband) were very delicious. They also served amuses bouches (smoked salmon cream puff), and a variety of breads w/ butter before our meal and a one-bite sweet at the conclusion of our meal, as well as the famous cotton candy they serve to everyone at the end (we had that wrapped to take home to our children). I ordered a citrusy cocktail, called The Fuzz, which was refreshingly good. And, because they knew we were celebrating our anniversary, they served us a small candle-lit chocolate mousse cake on a plate on which was written “Happy Anniversary” in dark chocolate (see accompanying photo). That was also very tasty and a nice way of acknowledging our special occasion. The only small negative I had was that the air conditioning was running a little too cold for me, making me glad I had worn long sleeves. All in all though, our dining experience at The Sea was excellent, especially the service. We’d consider going back. More

We had dinner with a party of five people, and every aspect of the experience from beginning to end was top quality. From old standards like Peking Duck and potstickers to distinctive vegetarian items from their specials menu, the taste was outstanding. Each dish had its unique texture and flavor, which is often not the case in a Chinese restaurant. Everyone on the staff, and especially the server, likewise deserve outstanding marks for friendliness and for being attentive. The price is a bit on the high side in comparison to many Chinese restaurants, but well worth it. We may become regular patrons! More

Our waiter was quite pushy. He repeatedly offered up lots of information about food that we weren’t asking about. He repeatedly bugged us to order when we weren’t ready, even though the restaurant was not crowded. The weirdest thing was that when we weren’t ordering, he said we couldn’t keep the menus at the table because we were going to get them dirty. We are adults, In our 60s, and gave no reason to think that we were going to mess up the menus. The whole thing is just bizarre. More

Probably the overall best Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto, even if it is at a relatively non descript location on El Camino. All the food is outstanding and the cocktails are other worldly. The small plates are great and the entrees are slightly pricey but well worth it for the quality. More

Great food, great presentation. I wish they had vegetarian dessert options. More

We were bummed to see that Fleming’s changed their bread and cheese spread that they are known for... we look forward to this. It’s also a bummer they don’t serve Prime Rib on Sundays any longer. Christina who was our server, was great! Excellent service and attentive to our order. More

We ordered a few dishes that were recommended by other reviewers and weren’t disappointed. The garlic noodles and roti were delicious! The pad Thai was good, a bit spicy for me, but tasty. The chocolate ginger cake was yummy and smelled really good. Our server was very attentive most of the time. For those who dislike cilantro, a note to be wary. We ordered spring rolls to share and the menu description didn’t say there was cilantro in them, so it was an unpleasant surprise for me since I don’t like it. But my husband does like it so he enjoyed them by himself. So be sure to ask if a dish has cilantro in it since the menu doesn’t always mention it in the description. More

Everything was fantastic! We shared several tapas dishes - the Brussels sprouts were especially yummy, a salad, and then the hanger steak. The meat was like butter, and the cilantro chimichurri was heaven. Churros for dessert made it the perfect meal. More

Solid, consistently good Mexican food. The service is very good. Reasonable value: slightly higher prices than typical Mexican restaurants, but the food and service make it worth the price. More

As a true food lover looking for unique culinary experiences, I am pleased that this has become one of my family's all-time favorite restaurants. My teen-aged kids love their tea leaf salad and the sesame beef, and their samosa soup is amazing. Every dish I have tried at this restaurant has exceeded my expectations. More

The food was good overall. The cheese breads are to die for! The pan fried chicken entree terrific! If you’re looking for a healthy menu, though, this isn’t the spot. They have some interesting Georgian wines that you can’t try elsewhere. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. More

I met a colleague for lunch this week. We ate in the courtyard, which was very pleasant. The service was excellent. I had a cup of minestrone soup and the salmon special. Both were excellent. Il Fornaio is consistently excellent. More

We went with friends and all were pleased with their choices. There are some creative non meat dishes that other restaurants don’t offer. The okra stew was flavorful, and the gigantes was good. Moussaka was well seasoned, and had a nice texture. More

We were on the way down to Carmel from SFO and were starving after a long plane ride. Terrain is in the huge Stanford Shopping Center, but only a few minutes off I-280 and easily accessible from the west lots. Don’t be put off by its attachment to Anthropology: Terrain is its own space and really a beautiful room. The menu is small, but healthy and delicious. We had the beet salad and blue cheese salad. Both were large and fresh. More

Though we had a reservation, they had closed the restaurant because of low occupancy. They called to tell me, and, when I said we were having a board meeting, they opened the restaurant just for us. It was quiet and perfect for what we needed. The food was also very good. More

Amber Dhara has a decent Indian buffet for lunch but I miss the menu. service is a bit slow for drinks and Nan but the bread was excellent and so were the many buffet dishes. They are renovating near the bathrooms and the whole restaurant looks a bit disheveled but the food is still worth a visit More

My son was graduating from Stanford this weekend and we wanted to take him out for dinner. I asked him where he'd like to go the most that would have room for 8. He chose Siam Royal. I'm glad we had made reservations because it was packed. Had to wait a bit later than reserved but was well worth the wait. Excellent food great service and cheap prices. Everyone was happy with the dish they ordered. More
