Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Menlo Park

Second time testing this anchor to the Ladera scene. The pappardelle with lamb ragu is excellent —enjoy the mushrooms and the surprise olives. The pizza is outstanding. Served piping hot but not burned, this is thin-crust pizza at its best. More ingredients on top than a true Napolitan pizza but an excellent compromise between Italian sensibilities and Silicon Valley taste buds.

My three generation family, including a preschoooler and a baby, had dinner here last night. While it is not a "family restaurant," we had a lovely time. The food was outstanding and the staff did everything possible to make us comfortable. I will certainly return, next time with a date my age (I am the grandmother).

The staff were very friendly and attentive. The decor was beautiful and made a great date night for my girlfriend and me. The mushroom tempura, skewers, and ahi tuna were the stars of the show for me!

This was a special family reunion, and my intuition about this place was correct. The food and service were as advertised, if not even better. The gently connected indoor and outdoor areas provides excellent flexibility with seating, bringing pets and so on. Specifically, the variety in the Sunday Brunch menu was outstanding, the quality of the food was exceptional, and the service provided by the waitress was a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend this place for a party of 1 or a party of 10 !
