  Grand dame of dining in Palo Alto. Gotten a refresh with a sparkling back patio, with new pizza oven and rotisserie. Trying to find their way back to relevance from the buzzy good ole days. Great for big groups, spontaneous meetups, college visits. Right next to Cal Train for those not driving. Ellen did an awesome job taking care of our group,

  I recently organized a corporate dinner at this venue, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The event coordinator was exceptional—warm, welcoming, and highly proactive in offering excellent recommendations to elevate our event. Following its renovation last year, the interior is pristine. The venue beautifully balances a classic, historic Americana atmosphere with a wonderfully open and airy feel, thanks to the impressive vaulted ceilings. The culinary experience was equally fantastic; the bruschetta-inspired appetizer and the steak were both delicious and cooked to perfection. An outstanding choice for hosting business events.
