Ethel's Fancy - coconut fritters

PHENOMENAL. My socks were knocked off and fireworks went off in my brain…read more Ethel's Fancy lives rent free in my brain. I came here for date night, and by the end of the meal, I was already telling all my girlfriends they NEED to come here for their next special occasion. Flavor, service, wine, ambiance, menu... everything was top notch. This is officially on the special dinner rotation. We opted for the discovery menu since it was our first time, and as suckers for a good set menu, we were SO happy with the decision. I genuinely loved the experience and am already plotting my return to reorder favorites and try more of the menu. The must-reorders: Coal-kissed cherry tomatoes: These came out first and genuinely rocked my world. The black garlic sauce altered my brain chemistry. I am not exaggerating. Swordfish katsu: Served slider-style on the discovery menu, and I LOVED it. Our server mentioned this format is exclusive to the discovery menu, which honestly makes me a little sad because I want to order it like that again. Rouge de Bordeaux milk bread: As someone who loves all things bread and carbs, this was one of my favorites. Perfectly soft and fluffy, with rich butter and flaky salt. Grilled Brandt Farms prime beef striploin: So juicy, tender, and perfect medium rare. Caramelized pistachio financier: As a pistachio hater I only realized there was pistachio upon writing this review. I'm surprised. The discovery menu was a great way to experience a variety of flavors and see how creative the kitchen gets with its pairings. The only dishes I'd personally pass on next time were the Hokkaido scallop shooter, which had a more intense seafood flavor than I prefer, and the piel de sapo melons & peaches. I'm a five-year-old when it comes to fruit -- I love my fruit as is, not savory. Neither was really my thing, but taste is personal! We skipped the wine pairing and ordered glasses individually instead, which was a fun way to mix things up and explore different wines throughout the meal. I also suspect it worked out a bit cheaper than the pairing. The wine selection was great, and the staff made the whole experience feel thoughtful and seamless. The ambiance is intimate and vibesy in the best way. Definitely somewhere I'd save for a date night, anniversary, birthday, or any occasion where you want dinner to feel a little extra special. Service was superb, and the entire meal felt like an experience rather than just going out to eat. Fair warning: this is definitely a splurge. But for the creativity, incredible flavor combinations, wine selection, and level of service, I personally think it's worth it for a special night out.

One of our favorite California fusion restaurants in the Bay Area. Been here more than 3 times,…read morethey changed the menu quite often, but here's my recommendation (will have similar dishes even change the menu): Rouge de Bordeaux milk bread, Warm sesame pancakes, Salt and pepper octopus, Bluefin tuna on koshihikari rice, Charcoal grilled gulf prawns.

Parking is available in the private lot or on nearby residential streets. Dining is available either inside the dining room, at the bar, or outdoors on the covered patio. Flea Street is featured in the Michelin guide. Our waitress was phenomenal the entire evening, being very sweet and attentive. She was quite talented too! ;) Meal started off with the complimentary biscuit, served with a side of beautiful butter, salt, as well as a piece of carrot. This was decent as the biscuit was merely lukewarm. The lamb chop as a snack was quite tasty. These were sold per piece and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The farmers salad, dungeness crab cake, as well as the cured trout small plates were all quite tasty. Loved how premium and light the farmer's salad was. The dungeness crab cake was super light and tasty too! The cured trout was excellent with the homemade potato chips! The cioppino was gigantic and perfect for sharing. It featured a ton of premium seafood, from clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp, as well as a couple pieces of black cod fish along with a few pieces of toasted bread! Finished off the meal with an apple galette which was tasty and served with a scoop of ice cream which was surprisingly a touch lacklustre... The meal ended off with a couple chocolate dipped strawberries. ~$130/head after 20% service charge and 3% employer benefits surcharge.

When we arrived, Sarah had thoughtfully arranged a table for us with a heater. Even with the heater, it was still a little chilly, so we asked whether we might be able to move inside. Since it was a busy evening, there were no indoor tables available, but Sarah assured us that she would move us inside as soon as one opened up. After we finished our appetizer, Sarah came over with a wonderful surprise--she had prepared an indoor table for us. This was the first time I had seen a restaurant host care so genuinely about her guests' comfort. Sarah was warm, attentive, and true to her word, even though the restaurant was very busy. Her exceptional hospitality made us feel truly welcomed and turned an ordinary dinner into a memorable experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lovely, and we will definitely return to Café Vivant.

It wasn't busy inside, they have tables outside as well. The interior is cozy and trendy but still inviting. The service is great, I believe it's a family run business. Service started slow (seemed to take some time to get our order in) but once our order was taken, it was top notch from then on! We had the hardest time deciding what to get. The food is slightly different from your typical Mexican dishes (though they may be the same name), the ingredients are very old world inspired. The coffee is amazing!! (I'm not a coffee person typically) I can't wait to come back for dinner and explore the menu some more.

They were extremely apologetic and thoughtful, and they moved on to a table farther away from the noise as soon as it was available. They also brought us complimentary agua fresco and orange juice for the extra wait time. Our server was particularly gracious, and she helped make our meal even better. We got the Fried Egg Sandwich, Huevos Rancheros, Shrimp Quesadilla and Chilaquiles with extra chrizo. All were delicious, especially the potatoes with the Fried Egg Sandwich. The Shrimp Quesadilla was tasty,but it had more mushrooms than shrimp. We're definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of their food, especially the French Toast...

4.5/5 Stars -- Awesome group hangout, get pizza, drinks and the chocolate cake and arrive early!…read more We hadn't been back in a while due to the tricky parking (shared with the adjacent soccer field), but an early lunch after visiting Webb Ranch brought us back. The casual outdoor ambiance is unbeatable for groups, ordering via phone is fast, and prices are fair (~$20 for a great, freshly fired pizza). While the burgers and Brussels sprouts were average, the spicy sausage pizza and the amazing chocolate cake are absolute standouts. Highly recommended--just aim for off-times to secure parking!

I ordered the burger with fries, and it was SO good! The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the fries were crispy and addictive. We also shared a few sides, including the roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed the casual outdoor atmosphere too. It's a great place to hang out with a group, enjoy good food, and just relax. Now I understand why people were lining up before they even opened! Definitely a place I'd come back to. Great food, great atmosphere, and worth the wait!

We found parking close by and walked to the front of the restaurant only to realize that to enter, we had to go in from the back since the dog couldn't walk through. Once we were situated, my wife went inside to try to figure out what to order. She was told to go back out and sit, and menus would be brought to us. The person who brought us menus and served us turned out to be the owner, Vidal. He was friendly, engaging and very mellow. She got The Roadhouse, while I got The Wildcat with Bacon and Swiss Cheese. She also ordered some chili and we split an order of onion rings. For the dog, we requested a chicken tender, no sauce. These are fact smashed burgers and do not come with lettuce or tomato. Overall, we found the food to on the salty side. But that's us. We use very little salt, if any, when we cook at home. The Onion Rings were plentiful and excellent. Princess thoroughly enjoyed her Chicken Tender. I apologize for the quality of the photographs. We sat under red canopies and I failed to color balance my phone.

They helped guide us through the menu and we're really knowledgeable about the dishes. I also had the pleasure of meeting the new chef on my most recent visit, he is passionate and energetic, I look forward to returning to sees what he comes up with next. Highlights: The Beef Tongue skewer, my sister said it was the best she'd ever had. The Embered Scallops, presented beautifully in the shell with a dreamy chili cognac butter A Tie between the Chocolate Tart and the Bread Pudding. Save room for dessert! Honorable: Housemade Parker Rolls ( get the whipped ricotta and mascarpone) Cons: The music can be a little loud in the back room for conversation. (Request the front room or outside for a more mellow experienced) The plastic chairs in the from dining room, they look great, they feel like I'm at a company picnic. (I like to be balanced, no one is perfect) Overall Sekoya is one of my favorite new spots in Palo Alto and I can't wait to keep bringing friends and family there. ( and bugging the chef until he brings back some variation of the Tempura Mushrooms they used to have!)

However, we spent over $230 on a meal that, overall, was nothing particularly memorable. What Stood Out: - Service: The service was good. The staff checked on us regularly and promptly wiped down the table whenever it got messy during the meal. - Butterscotch Pudding: A nice way to end the meal. It was creamy and not overly sweet. What Fell Short: - Beef Tongue & Scallops: Both were overly salty, which was disappointing. - Crudo: I understand this is an upscale restaurant, and I wasn't expecting budget-friendly prices. However, $25 for just four pieces of crudo was still quite a surprise. - Steak: The steak was good, but nothing particularly special or memorable.
