I was happily surprised to find Saturday evening reservations available at this outstanding Menlo Park establishment. I was in Palo Alto to visit my god-daughter at Stanford and had a hankering for some awesome food while in town. The restaurant has its own (free) parking lot, which was also a big plus. We were greeted warmly and seat promptly for our 7:15 pm reservation. The services was very attentive, right off the bat, with water and fresh baked bread arriving swiftly. The lamb chop appetizer was divine and our only complaint about the delicious dungeness crab gnocchi appetizer is that it wasn't available as an entree portion (we made a suggestion to the chef to change that). She joined the clean plate club with her risotto entree and I really enjoyed the fresh catch entree. If you drink lemonade, don't miss out on the lavender rendition offered here. We were saddened that they has already sold out of the homemade snickerdoodle ice-cream, but I guess we'll have to save it for next time. I can't wait to visit here again. It was simply outstanding. Thankfully my god-daughter has two more years at Stanford!

Back to the genius of Jesse Cool! It was lost for a bit but the new chef and Jesse’s recipes have made it tops again.

Flea Street is sublime. We went there for our anniversary dinner. Everything was just perfect. We’re not vegetarians, but ended up eating like one. The charred broccoli, carrot soup,lemon pasta and vegetarian tasting menu were wonderful. It’s a splurge, but worth it for special occasions.

Incredible all around. Every dish was presented that showed the care and quality deserving of 5 stars. The owner came over to introduce herself, every wait staff was attentive but not over bothering. One of the best dining experience we’ve had and we have a date night every Saturday. Will definitely be back and highly recommend. What a gem.
