Best French American Restaurants in Portola Valley

Our server, Danny, the hostess, the sommelier, and the supporting staff were all wonderful and very attentive. I have food sensitivities that I called them in advance about. They made a special amuse bouche for me and worked with me to accommodate the sensitivities. Even with my dairy, gluten and almond sensitivities I had several options from the starters, mains and sides to choose from. While the dessert options were limited to just the meyer lemon sorbet, I was still happy with the sorbet. We loved the short rib, broccolini, brussels sprouts, and steak frites. Hubby loved the earl grey and scone ice cream scoop as well as the donut and coffee desserts. He was also impressed with the wines. We would definitely come back!

Our reservation was for outdoor dining but our request to dine inside was granted. Great service. Food is excellent.

I love SY so much! The staff are amazing , the food is spectacular and the ambiance is gorgeous. I’ve been enjoying this amazing establishment for a few years by sharing this beautiful restaurant with family and friends. This last visit I had a reservation via Open Table and for some odd reason they had a hard time finding my name. Plus a couple arrived 15 minutes after our arrival and they made us wait while they seated them without looking for their reservation because they happen to know them. Yes, it was a sting to my heart :( My friend found our reservations by looking at their iPad. We were finally escorted to our table and afterwards the service got better. They made it up to us and we will continue to experience beautiful memories at SY.

Outstanding food and very good service. The French Pastry Basket is awesome. Everything was delicious.
