"Welcome to our home. Meyhouse is a casual place where family and friends get together over a drink, mezes, unique seafood, and grilled delicacies.
Our philosophy is unique in many ways. We have an ingredient first approach, which means we handle ingredients as minimally as possible through the cooking process. We source the highest quality ingredients we can find and let them shine. Our recipes are as authentic as possible, no sous vide or modernist cuisine can be found here."

Always a pleasure to dine at Meyhouse in Palo Alto. The food and service were exceptionally good this time around. Waiter suggested a great bottle of wine. Eggplant with yogurt and dumpling for the apps, Lamb chops, Grilled chicken with Orzo for the mains. Turkish coffee martini for dessert. Phenomenal dining. Already looking forward to our next visit.

My friends and I recently dined at Meyhouse Palo Alto, and we had an amazing experience. The ambiance was beautiful , and the staff was not only friendly but seemed genuinely happy to be there. For appetizers, we tried the octopus and beets, both of which were absolutely delicious. For the main course, we had lamb chops that were perfectly seasoned, flavorful chicken that really stood out, and a ribeye that was cooked to perfection. What I really appreciated about our dining experience was how every dish was packed with flavor. In a time when dining out often means paying for the experience but receiving lackluster food, Mayhouse truly delivered on both fronts.

Delicious Turkish food. We got four mezzes, kopoglu, manti, octopus, and hummus. Branzino was soft and tender which paired well with the Bibb lettuce salad. Lamb chops were juicy. Loved the ambience. Service was friendly and they sang a birthday song at the end.

Our server was really nice and approachable Good was excellent, great cook on all meats. Seasoned generously and very filling. My girlfriend and I did their version of a chef’s tasting menu, and man we were in for a treat! Very good portions for two people and timing at which the appetizers, entrees, and desserts came in was very good! Would definitely recommend and we will come back again!
