- SStevenSan Francisco Bay Area •17 reviews5.0Dined todaySt. Mike’s has a wonderful combination of atmosphere, great service (on all levels; friendly, knowledgeable, tuned into what you want), and really good food. The specials are always worthwhile. There are different areas in the restaurant: the bar, outdoors, and two other rooms so even though the place may be crowded, you don’t lose the intimacy. Great attention to detail. We’ll be back soon.More infoSt. Michael's AlleyPrice: Expensive• American• Palo Alto•4.8
- AAnthonySan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were there for the Christmas buffet. The food was marvelous and plentiful: prime rib, salmon, pork loin, ribs, bbq chicken, assorted salads and sides, and desserts. The service was fine and the price was great. We'd like to go for a regular dining experience in addition to the holiday buffets as we also went to the Thanksgiving buffet.More infoMacArthur Park - Palo AltoPrice: Moderate• American• Palo Alto•4.1
