    [[HIGHLIGHT]]To walk into RH was transformative. The Palo Alto location is already nestled into what can only be described as beautiful land, this restaurant is like a world of its own.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]RH rooftop is located on the 3rd floor of the establishment and honestly it felt like I was dining in another country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was top tier, menu choices were vast and the food itself was umami in flavor. Not only will I now have to visit the other locations but I'd highly recommend RH for any celebration or personal needs aka just because.

    This place lives up to the rave reviews! Came here with a group and we had an absolutely magical evening! Of course, this place gets very crowded, even during weekdays. So be sure and make reservation. I had to actually increase the number of people in our reservation and I was so happy that they were able to accommodate us! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Of course, the decor is stunning and gorgeous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sometimes, the food can be not quite as impressive. That is not the case here! Service was extremely professional and friendly. And the food was delicious! Highlights are the lobster sliders with caviar. Also we loved the steak, salmon, salad, baked potato with caviar. Do not miss the chocolate chip cookies for dessert, absolutely amazing!

    After dropping off Chase at UNIVERSAL PET HOSPITAL for his leg surgery the morning of Sunday, March 22, 2026, we decided to go out for breakfast or brunch. Mom recommended RH, THE ROOFTOP RESTAURANT at RH PALO ALTO. She called the restaurant and was able to book a 10 AM reservation for three. Located at the Stanford Shopping Center, we were able to easily and quickly find parking in the spacious lot. We arrived a little early, so walked around the Restoration Hardware showroom for a bit before walking up the stairs to the upscale restaurant perched on the third floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The mansard space, with its floor to ceiling glass walls and roof, emulates a giant dazzling sunroom with trees growing out of the floor and elegant glass chandeliers hanging above nearly every table. The modern fountain and airy ambiance provide a relaxing setting for a nice meal while soaking in the glam surroundings and sunshine or admiring the beautiful sunsets. Outdoor seating is also available in their wraparound patio with comfy couches[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. RH PALO ALTO offers elevated American eats, plus beer, wine, and cocktails. The menu leans into opulent, fancified takes on classics, serving decadent dishes like CAVIAR CARPACCIOS (ranging from $18 to $28) and other CAVIAR SPECIALTIES such as GRILLED AVOCADO WITH CAVIAR ($38) and IMPOSSIBLY THIN HOUSEMADE CHIPS & DIP (15g $55, 30g $95). Below are what we ordered: LOBSTER ROLL ($36) - Z found this to be very good, I thought it was meh. The lobster could have used a bigger Dash of Mayo. On the small side. SWEDISH PANCAKES ($18) with fresh strawberries (for an extra charge) - I was disappointed that these pancakes were not served with the traditional lingonberry butter. These were not even warm enough to melt the slices of butter that topped them. KING CRAB ROLL ($58) - Also a petite serving, but this sandwich was tastier than the lobster version. Z said that it was very good, just like the lobster. HERITAGE PORK SAUSAGE ($12) - Flavourful; however, served cold. TRUFFLE FRIES ($20) - Fried to a perfectly golden crisp. RH BELLINI ($18) - Kudos to RH for serving an authentic bellini with genuine peach purée. This cocktail was yummy. Supposedly the BELGIAN WAFFLE was so remarkable to draw Mom back multiple times. Unfortunately, we were told that that they were no longer serving waffles. Mom was very disappointed by this. To boot, service was nothing to rave about. It seemed to be a bit challenging to catch the attention of our waitress to inform her that all of our dishes were served cold. When we finally got the chance to tell her, she didn't say much and appeared to leave us hanging. Later, the manager on duty came to speak with us, replaced most of the cold dishes, and comped an item. Still, this did not remedy Mom's dismay. She said that she will not return.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a beautifully bougie spot! It's the perfect destination for a lunch date or a girls get together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's located on the top floor with a luxury hotel feel, and with the patio doors open, the space was wonderfully bright and airy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is sophisticated, and the service is detail oriented and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the RH burger, lobster roll, fries, butterscotch brulee, and a cappuccino. The lobster roll was a bit small for the price, and while the burger was tasty, it was a little salty for my taste. However, the cappuccino was fantastic, and the overall food was good just be prepared for a pricey bill

    Ambiance was perfect. Nice scenery on rooftop. Food was delicious and the service was excellent

    I had dinner reservations, and we were seated right on time. I ordered the salmon, and it was absolutely delicious. My partner had the steak, and he said it was very tender and cooked perfectly. The ambiance was elegant and beautiful--it honestly felt like dining in the White House. The restaurant had a very upscale, sophisticated atmosphere that made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful evening and would definitely return.

    Caviar and potato chips, Blackberry Mocktail and a Spritz to start

    I can see why RH Rooftop Restaurant has such mixed reviews but after finally visiting for lunch, I'm really glad we gave it a chance. I had been hesitant to come because of what I had read, but one of my girlfriends suggested we make a reservation and try it for ourselves. Even with reservations there was still a bit of a wait to be seated, but honestly we didn't mind at all. Walking through the space and browsing the beautiful furniture displays made the time pass quickly and added to the overall experience. Where things slowed down a bit was with the service. From placing our order to receiving the food, everything took longer than expected. It wasn't terrible, but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule. That said, the food absolutely delivered. We started with the caviar and potato chips, which felt indulgent and fun to share. For lunch we both ordered the lobster roll, and it was spectacular fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I ordered the blackberry mocktail while my friend had the spritz, and both drinks were refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. The real standout, though, was dessert. We ordered the banana split-style brûlée dessert (I wish I remembered the exact name), and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. The textures and sweetness were perfectly balanced and it was the ideal way to end our lunch. Overall, I would absolutely come back and would recommend it just make sure you have a little extra time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.

    I went to RH Rooftop after seeing so many videos about how great it was online, and while I do have to say the restaurant was quite pretty and our server was so sweet, nothing really stood out to me otherwise. I didn't love the starters, which were the prosciutto board and the caviar blinis. I found the meat and cheese board to be pretty lackluster and would definitely recommend people to just skip if they're contemplating it. The caviar blinis were very light but truly didn't stand out to me either. However, my boyfriend loved them so maybe try if you're into a light, airy starter. I did enjoy the branzino because of the nice lemon flavor, but I do think it could have used more lemon and a tiny bit of salt. The salad was tasty, and if you lots of onions in your salad then I would recommend. Steak and fries were fine as well. Overall, the food was decent but nothing really stood out to me, and for the price, I've definitely had better. Probably wouldn't go again but I did want to give a special shoutout to our server (can't remember her name). She was the sweetest and really accommodating. She also gave us some chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream on-the-house after we told her it was our anniversary!

    This RH Rooftop Restaurant has become one of our favorite places to go for brunch in the Bay Area. It's located on the outskirts of the Stanford Shopping Center. There are free parkings everywhere. Highly recommend you go early and make reservations in advance. The restaurant as well as the shopping center tend to fill up really fast, especially in the weekends. Do not be surprised if you walk in a furniture store. Simply take the elevator to the 3rd floor and you'll reach the rooftop restaurant. The cute glass ceiling and indoor greenery bring the outside in and you'll feel a sense of openness and freedom. The ambience was a win already for us. We were quickly checked in and led to our table. The staff who would be taking our order was busy chatting up the next table. When he got to us, he showed a different attitude. Instead of chatty chitty and chirpy attitude, he was matter-of-fact-ly despite us smiling at him. The staff who brought us food were considerate though. However, the staff who took our order returned at the end to take our plates away. He startled my sister a bit by not asking and just took her plate away. Other than this tiny uneasy experience, our food and drinks were great. We both order Italian Benedict's and believe it was the best item on the menu. It was made to perfection and the portion was so perfect. Otherwise, we totally enjoyed the ambience and the food, minus a tiny interesting experience. We ended leaving a big tip though. Our parents work in the service industry and we understand the importance of leaving nice tips. However, service could have been a bit better :)

    We went there on a Monday late afternoon lunch. We had reservation but on a Monday, the restaurant was pretty empty unlike on a weekend. Their food options are almost all at $$ price. But they do have some good food options. Their chicken dishes are my favorite. There is unfortunately less options for Vegans. Their beer is very good. So is most of their wines. This restaurant is more of a date-night kind of place and not so much of a family friendly place, especially with young kids. The staff is friendly and the ambience is top class. This place definitely checks out for their good vibes but not so much for the food.

    We celebrated our anniversary at RH to match our initials. It was a wonderful evening, from the host to the server we were treated kindly and with respect. The food was cooked to perfection and delicious. I appreciated that they took notice that we both ordered non-alcoholic mocktails, so when we were gifted anniversary blinis, they were alcohol free blinis. Super cute and the attention to detail stood out to us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere, lighting, food and service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!

    We were in the area and wanted to get breakfast. We were close so decided to come here. We came in as a walk in. The place is absolutely gorgeous. We sat at a booth. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The place is very bright and airy. The service here flows smoothly. I ordered a chicken sandwich and we also ordered pancakes, bacon, and sausage. My son absolutely loved the food and it's hard for a 7 year old to eat everything. My children sandwich was delicious it was rotisserie check but very moist. We had a great experience and my son is requesting to go back.

    RH Rooftop Restaurant boasts a beautiful view of Stanford Shopping Center. Upon entering, you will find on the first and second floors an upscale furniture store. Under the third floor, you will find the rooftop restaurant with glass ceilings, illuminating natural sunlight. We ordered artichoke chips and truffle fries, which are a must, signature burger which was nothing life-changing unfortunately, and salmon dish, which tasted so fresh. We decided on this restaurant for a birthday, and although the menu was a little pricey for what the food was worth, we definitely enjoyed the friendly service, beautiful views and photo ops.

    Is the ribeye served with any sauce? If not, can one ask for some (like A1 steak sauce)?

    I don't eat meat - but I do know they have many sauces you can order on the side. So I assume they would have something to your liking.

    Do you have a happy hour menu?

    No Happy Hour. See Dinner Menu

    Is the Chinese Chicken Salad was ordered without Chicken would it then be vegan? IN other words is the dressing used on that salad already vegan?…

    Dairy allergy here. Does the charred rib eye use dairy like butter?

    What is the dress code?

    I don't think they have a specific dress code but it is a pretty fancy restaurant so I would dress accordingly; casual or dressy casual, jeans and nice top. No flip flops or super casual tanks. Hope that helps.

    Any vegan or vegetarian options?

    They do not have any vegetarian entrees but they do have veggie starters, salads, and side dishes: crispy artichokes, burrata cheese, gem & arugula salads, truffle fries, grilled veggies, whipped potatoes, etc.

    Is this business dog friendly?

    The RH restaurant is an upscale restaurant without an outdoor patio, and it appeared they do not allow dogs inside.

Everything was beautifully presented. The workers were friendly too! Their items were a bit pricey, but worth it for the quality. Their spiral croissants were so much better than Fancy Flavors. It was flaky, buttery, and filled with delicious pistachio cream. This spot is especially great for more traditional flavors. The Anton Hokkaido Milk Crepe Cake wasn't overly sweet and the cream was light and fluffy. It was perfectly up to my standards when it comes to sweetness.

My family and I stopped by Marvel Cake during Mother's Day for a sweet treat on Sunday. This location is in the strip of Downtown Palo Alto and has limited parking (similar to the rest of the stores there, there is a lot of parking, and you will need to get lucky). My mom does like the Marvel Cake in their first location, so we swung by here to try this one out! Location-wise, this is a smaller shop than the original one in West San Jose with limited seating inside. I would say it's not work from home friendly however, I did see a college student next to me on her laptop so maybe I am incorrect here! The interior is nice and light, matching the elegance of the desserts. We ordered three items on the menu: the pillow cake, the bisou, and the blueberry lavender roll. Here are some thoughts: * Pillowcase cake: It may seem like this would be a fluffy cake due to the nature of its shape, but it is a gelatinous Jell-O cake with fruit jam. It was not bad, and tasted refreshing and light. I didn't know if I liked it at first, but ultimately I did come back for seconds and thirds, so this is approved. * Blueberry lavender roll cake: This was not at all what we were expecting. I did not taste any lavender, nor did it have a strong blueberry flavor. I think what threw our party off was the layer of gelatin that surrounded the cake. Texturally, we were not a big fan. * Bisou: This one was our favorite one. I appreciated the nutty crust in the bottom layer of the cake, while the filling was soft and bouncy. It is very sweet, however, but overall, I really enjoyed this one and feel like it would go great with a cup of coffee. What made the experience here a 3 instead of a 4 or 5 was the service we got. We weren't greeted when we came in, which, to be fair, is totally fine, maybe they were busy. However, the person helping us stared at us the whole time and did not really communicate well with us. When I tried to order the cakes for my family, they looked bothered that we were there, and I was not sure if they understood what pastries I was ordering because they did not repeat it back to us at all or confirm anything. When I did place the order, they slowly grabbed the plates and looked visually confused, which again, if they wanted to, I could have repeated it back to them. After they gathered everything, they put it in front of us and rang me up. The whole time, they did not say a word to me at all. Did not reconfirm anything, did not acknowledge we were there, did not say thank you. It was a bit strange, and I had to check with my family if it was me or if that was a really weird experience (it wasn't me).

Perhaps a bit on the fancier side, but it's a pleasant place to go for some coffee and a dessert. All of the desserts are beautiful and imaginative spins on classics with a middle eastern twist. Baklava Cheesecake: Such a pretty little packet. This is a bit contradictory, but the cream cheese filling is a little too sweet and dense and the outside should be a little more sweet, perhaps with syrup like on a traditional baklava. I missed that stickiness and moisture on the flaky exterior. But overall, it was fun to eat. Sweet Cheese Rolls: These were pretty good and quite creamy inside. Halawet el jibn is traditionally served with pistachio and rose syrup. These are hard to come by in the Bay and kind of expensive here, but tasty.

We always ask for a table with chairs because I have back problems and can't sit in their totally worn booths and the host has never had a problem with that request. But yesterday the regular host wasn't there and we were told they were busy and we had to sit at the counter or in a booth because they didn't want to put us the two of us at a table for four (there were two tables available). We waited for nearly ten minutes and when I asked again if we could sit at one of the tables was almost rudely told no, they were busy. So we left and went to Joanie's on California Avenue. They were also busy but immediately seated us and we had a much better lunch. Sometimes it's good to change things up as we'd forgotten how kind and attentive all the of the staff are at Joanie's and how much better the food was. And both of our plates of food came out hot and perfectly cooked which doesn't always happen at the Creamery. I guess we just eat there for the memories. My husband said none of the staff at the Creamery seem happy except for the host so if we don't see him seating the guests, we'll just go to Joanie's.
