    The only "complaint" is the background music - it was a distracting mixture of popular songs from several eras. It might have been more fitting, with the intimate atmosphere, to play music without lyrics - maybe jazz or even classical.

    My wife and I had an amazing time at Robin Menlo Park for her birthday. We sat at the omakase bar, and each course was a culinary masterpiece. Our server and chef were so friendly and made the vibes feel special. Everything was perfectly prepared, presented beautifully, and served with great care. It was the perfect place for a special occasion, and we’ll definitely be back. If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend the bar seats.
