Who knew there was a speakeasy in Los Altos? Of course had to check it out! Opened in November of…read more2025, the Speakeasy is located in the basement of Cetrella Restaurant. -Must make reservations. -Check in at Cetrella and you'll be lead downstairs to where the fun and good vibes happen. Sergei will take good care of you there with all the specialty cocktails as well as classic crafted cocktails. Great selection of wine too, but one should really go for the craft cocktails. There's a bar bites menu, and highly recommend the duck fat fries and the fritto misto. Love the dark ambiance and the great vintage lounge music played. Imagine all the popular old hits and recent pop, r&b, Motown, rock, etc., in chill bossa nova style vibes-- my Pops favorite, so of course, I could sit and listen for hours. This is a great addition to downtown Los Altos! Stop in for a pre or post dinner cocktail or two. You won't regret it! Cheers dears!

Had a good time here last night. Love the Speakeasy aspect of it...you have to go the restaurant…read moreand they then escort you to the bar. You have to take a elevator which has a code to go to the basement and then you walk through a nondescript hallway before you get to the bar. Pretty cool. 5 star for creativity and set up. Small cocktail menu...the drinks were decent and so was the service.

I think it's kind of funny that there is such a discourse amongst other reviews about whether or…read morenot this place is a speakeasy. As a speakeasy enthusiast myself I definitely agree to the fact that it is "hidden" but also it does kinda give corporate vibes a little bit - maybe we can say they "gentrified" the speakeasy experience which is honestly so funny for Palo Alto. But anyways I don't think a classification should stop you from visiting it. The food is actually surprisingly really good. We came with a pescatarian and honestly while the offerings for snacks were a bit slim, every option was really good. I feel like this was the first time where I understood the price even the the quantity is no where close to be desired. One shrimp is like $6 and I was like whoah. Service is definitely more laid back and it's overall just like a more chill atmosphere. I'm fortunate to work nearby so I'll definitely visit this place a few times after work to blow off some steam... And the drinks! Yes they are good! They are also quite strong! Would come back again but also if you're conscious of budget then I'm not sure if you'll find the same value proposition.

Note: I believe the menu has changed since my last visit…read more Stopped by Bar Underdog for a quick drink and was recommended their take on a martini from the "Traditional" section. It came out quickly, crisp, and as cold as it gets. I also tried a shrimp dish from the "Steamed" section, and it was delicious. Their chicken was also larger than I expected, making it a good bang for your buck, especially if you plan on grabbing a few drinks. Excited to come back and try more of their cocktails!

Le Banc is the kind of dive bar you're always hoping to stumble upon. Tucked right behind Amandine,…read moreit feels like a little hidden neighborhood gem. It's got that classic dive vibe--unpretentious, relaxed, and easy to settle into--but what really stood out was how clean the space was. Sometimes dive bars can feel a little too gritty, but this place strikes a great balance between character and comfort. The staff was super kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. They were quick with drinks and genuinely friendly without being over the top. We lucked out and came on a karaoke night, which was such a fun surprise. The energy picked up in the best way, and it felt like everyone was just there to have a good time. Bonus points for the slight discount if you pay in cash--always appreciated. If you're looking for a laid-back, no-frills spot with good vibes and occasional karaoke fun, Le Banc is definitely worth checking out.

Also, I noticed some herby smell which was pleasant so extra hats off to that detail. I placed a reservation of 5 at 7:45 pm on a Friday night with me and my family, and we had no issues getting to our table. We were a bit late, however staff made sure that we get seated in no time. Once we got sat down, we got our menus and took some time to decide what to order. Our amazing friend and waitress Elizabeth made sure to give us time to thoroughly look through the menu and decide on what we were going to eat. She was very friendly and caring, and was so excited to take our order, which elevated her experience. Her suggestions were perfect for our family. We ordered the Mixto Clásico ceviche, 2 orders of truffle mac and cheese, Arroz Con Mariscos, Pollo A La Brasa (Half chicken), Beef Anticuchero Roll, and Lengua a La Parilla. In five minutes, the staff already brought the ceviche, which included calamari, fish, veggies, and the taro chips. It was refreshing and citrusy. After we finished that , then another 3 minutes goes by, and everything arrived. I was so shocked on how fast they serve especially because of how busy they were. All the dishes were so fresh and cooked to perfection. The mac was so creamy, cheesy, and delectable especially because of the truffles. The pollo a la brasa was cooked nice and tender, served with fries, and that yellow sauce was addicting, literally ON CRACK. The lengua was great, the mashed potatoes along with the lengua, shrimp, and spicy sauce gave it texture and flavor. The nikkei beef antichchuero roll I was surprised with. Sushi in a Peruvian restaurant? However, I did not expect to be one of the best and interesting rolls I have tried ever. The arroz con mariscos was my favorite by far. It really reminds me of a Spanish paella, with a seafood galore presented with a bed of rice and veggies. It was very filling and delicious. Of course, we couldn't just end there, we obviously had to go for dessert. We chose the Tres Leches cake, and it was presented with chocolate, caramel, and strawberry sauce which was sweet and smooth. Paired with the cake, it was so good and a genius combination. In the end, when leaving, our staff asked us if we needed any extra help with anything before we left, which was a very kind gesture. When we left, the staff kindly greeted us a warm goodbye, and thanked Elizabeth especially for helping us order these great assortments of dishes. In the end, we left with our stomachs full of food and great memories. I am already looking forward to my next visit here, and please, give this Peruvian spot a try, because you will never go back to any other ones besides this spot.

When you order a martini, they come out in a cart to explain how they make one and the types of gin they use. The person serving the martini was VERY knowledgeable and could tell us where to find certain liquors. The saxophonist got there around 9:30pm and was interactive, moving through the tables to play for patrons. I loved how unique that was. The bathroom was also gorgeous and interesting. We took a selfie in the restroom due to the size and the full length mirrors. We will definitely come back for more drinks and live music.

There seemed to have enough patrons during the weekday lunch period from local workers looking for a business lunch and I also saw two families with kids. The restaurant had one server for all of the people, he had his hands full. There is a full bar and extensive wines and liquors to choose from, if you feel like a mid-day drink. There are five booths for 4 people, two tables for six, three tall tables for two, one tall table for four, and some tables for outdoor dining. The restaurant has easy listening music. It's a good place for a relaxing meal during your day. The menu is attached, with lunch specials. There is also a parking lot located behind the restaurant and available street parking in front. I would be comfortable coming here again with a few friends to socialize. The poki bowl was quite good, it hit the spot for me. There are three televisions in the restaurant for sports watching as well.

*Vegetarian Foodie Review*…read more This place is right next to the Beer Garden, but it's more of a restaurant-style, dine-in format. I felt like there were limited dinner options for vegetarians. The food felt more like snacks and less like something that fills you up. We came as a group of 11 for a Father's Day weekend dinner. Ordered: 1) Lemonade: 5/5 - So good and refreshing. Must try! 2) Pita + Dips (from snacks): 4/5 - The 1st pita wasn't fully baked, but they fixed it by replacing it. 3) Chickpea Fritters: 4/5 - I am not a big fan of goat yogurt, but if you do like it, this would be a 5/5. The taste and feel felt like India style which was a hit! 4) Grilled corn: 2/5 - No one in my group liked this. It was too sweet because of the caramel, not a good combination. We sat outside on the patio, but the inside ins awesome too. It's a fancy place, good for celebrations and special occasions. But yeah, the food wasn't fulling, we left a little hungry. Service was a little too slow, but that's okay given it was Father's Day weekend.
