Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Menlo Park

Beautiful interior, delicious food, great service.

We ate outside, which I recommend -- inside was too noisy. The dishes were inventive and delicious. Our server was attentive at all times. Heads up: There is a 6% charge hidden on your bill "to provide our staff with benefits", which is complete B.S. Why wouldn't they just increase the prices by 6%? What is next? Perhaps another 5% tacked on to help pay for their utilities? They make a point of saying that the 6% charge is "not a gratuity". But of course it is -- a charge on your bill that provides compensation to the staff is a gratuity, even if you say it is not.

Had a wonderful time at Ettan in Palo Alto with my family! The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed — perfect for a special night out. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great balance of creativity and flavor in every dish. Each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The service was warm and attentive throughout, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. It was truly a memorable evening, and I’d highly recommend Ettan for anyone looking for great food and a refined atmosphere to enjoy with loved ones.

Consistently an outstanding experience at the Village Pub, whether you want to head to the bar for great conversations with the bartenders, some delicious and unique cocktails, and the burger which you can only get at the bar or into the dining room our outdoor dining for an outstanding and seasonally appropriate and diverse Prix fix menu. The food is thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection, and the wine list is not to be missed. The service, to top it off, is outstanding. Another perfectly executed evening by all.

The food was great but the service was exceptional
