    Visited on a Saturday morning and the place was packed! Waited a short while in line at 11 am, but didn't see an empty table anywhere through the time we dined Great service from the staff and nice ambiance - there's a surprising amount of tables inside. Food was decent, but looked a lot more delicious than it tasted. Corn and French toast were good, but the other fusion foods were just ok especially for the price. Portions were great though!

    New obsession! Croffle and fried chicken. The idea of waffle and chicken , but croffle ... crossant, waffle and fried chicken is to die for. When we first put our name, we were the 50th.... it took about 45 min to go from 50th to be seated. Not bad, we walked around the block, checked out stores and walah!

    Loco Moco
    Lynne N.

    We came here for my birthday brunch on a late Saturday morning and we wait about 20-25 mins, which isn't too bad since I heard people waited 1-2 hrs before. I got the Loco Moco and while it was pretty good, the flavors didn't stand out to me too much. I don't know what the interiors look like since we sat outside, but they had several outdoor seatings. They also charge a 20% service fee for large party, and they didn't inform us in any way (like verbally, putting up a sign, or stating it in the menu) until after we paid and it was too late. We should had looked at the receipt more carefully, but I felt like they should have made it clearer

    Matcha muffle

    Not sure the popularity of this place! I ordered a chai latte and had to remind the waiter a couple of times before it arrived. The avocado croissant was about $14 and very small for the price--roughly 3" x 4. The matcha muffin was awful. It seemed undercooked and had a bitter aftertaste. It was so underbaked that the caramel-like filling stuck to my teeth. Considering the prices, the food quality and portions did not meet my expectations.

    We didn't need a reservation here. Walked right in for brunch and were seated as a party of two. Staff were nice and attentive. The place is clean and spacious. They seem busy but we had zero complaints with service. Food came out quickly and it was so fresh. Our entire experience was about 1h (knowing this as we received a message from the street parking meter) and we did not feel rushed once. They were just on top of things. Freshly squeezed orange juice, can't go wrong. I had an order of scrambled eggs and potatoes with a side of fried chicken. The eggs were nice and fluffy. At first glance, we thought our toast would be a piece of brick but it was surprisingly warm, soft, and delicious. Wish we had more. The wings were pretty tasty as well. I ended up packing the rest of the wings to go as a snack for our mini road trip. Overall good brunch spot.

    I went with the two eggs any style for my plate when I came to Sweet Maple for the first time. Luckily I was able to substitute the regular ciabatta bread for their gluten free toast but at an additional charge of $3. I also wanted to substitute the potatoes for fruit and was charged an additional $5 for it. I want to say the bacon here is amazing! My friends and I also got the Millionaire's Bacon Sample and I keep thinking about it. All my friends enjoy their plates. But would I say if I would come again? Maybe, only if friends wanted to come. If feels overpriced with the many substitutions I have to make due to my dietary restrictions. The staff was real friendly regardless, despite the restaurant be busy, they never forgot to check in with us.

    Quaint little nook with Asian inspired breakfast. A lot of tasty options here and the bacon is a must! Gives a different take on bacon. Loved their Ube Lattes, Benedicts, and Skilets. Potatoes were crispy and cooked to perfection. It is a little pricey. Although the food was good, I thought it was overpriced for what we got. The service was also a little slow. It was crowded when we went, so possibly just backed up. But I had to personally ask for refills on my water and wanted to order another coffee, but they hadn't come back to our table for 20 min after our food was out. Again, I do say they get busy. Also we were near the door during a windy day. We asked if we could close it because it was cold and they denied our request.

    Sweet Maple Scramble. Delicious!

    Vibes: Pretty, trendy, modern brunch vibes Crowd: Busy but no wait on a Sunday morning at 9a Menu: tons of brunch options Value for price: pricey but great quality food Service: 5/5, friendly and fast Parking: street parking in downtown Palo Alto I had a lovely Sunday breakfast at Sweet Maple during a visit to Palo Alto. This place is super cute, with (crowded) indoor seating and nice patio seats too. Expect a wait if you come later in the morning, but at 9am we found a table for 2 quickly. I tried their English Breakfast tea, which was a Tea Forte bag (mesh bag with a little leaf) and had great flavor. They serve the hot tea with a pot of water for multiple servings. I had the Sweet Maple Scramble, mostly because I wanted to try the famous Millionaire's bacon. It was absolutely worth it: THICK chunks of bacon. Order anything that comes with the bacon. The lemon hollandaise on the scramble was flavorful but not too heavy, and the eggs come with ciabatta and roasted vegetables. This place is a bit pricey for me to come alone, but if you're coming on a cute date or with family, absolutely recommend.

    Chicken Croffle

    Great Ambience and tasty food. One of the best brunch places in BayArea. Good portion sizes too.

    Hemingway Benedict
    Mike S.

    One of my favorite brunch spots in South Bay, classic comfort food with a creative twist. The Hemingway Benedict is my go-to and for good reason: the salmon and lemon play perfectly off the hollandaise, balancing the savory with a nice acidity. The matcha moffle is a must-try too, that chewy QQ texture makes it stand out from your standard waffle. And if you're in a burger mood at brunch, you really can't go wrong with any option on the menu. Only complaint is that the portions seem to have gotten noticeably smaller over time, which stings a little at this price point. Also worth noting that weekend waits can get long, so plan accordingly or go early. Still a spot I keep coming back to. Just come hungry and patient.

    Dog friendly brunch!
    Tammy C.

    Came out here for a dog friendly brunch. Love that they have outdoor seating so our pups can join in. It's almost always packed during the weekends so be prepared to wait! We got lucky because we got our table and then the brunch/lunch rush came! Service was great. Nothing above and beyond. Drinks and Food: We ordered some drinks to start with. Watermelon Fizz mocktail and the A Spritz cocktail, both drinks were pretty coming out and tasted pretty good and to our liking. My friend got the chicken and waffles and I got the Francis Soufflegg. The chicken and waffles were so crispy and delicious, I wish I ordered that! The Soufflegg wasn't exactly special, it was a soufflé egg that's topped with bacon and some chicken bits, I liked the potatoes more than the soufflé egg actually. But the menu had lots of different items that we will definitely come again to try something else!

    Omurice
    Tepolak S.

    Service was great. Wait was incredibly long so make a reservation or get there early enough so the table is available by the time you're hungry. The restaurant was bustling inside and out. It's also in a cute little plaza where I can grab coffee and wait for my turn. The runaround for food was so quick that it took me by surprised but I guess it has to be quick since so many people were waiting to dine. The menu has all kinds of flavors: Japanese, western, Korean, Thai..? Confusing, but Sweet Maple does it pretty well. We got the omurice and the crab Benedict which was absolutely delicious. The roasted vegetable side that came with the eggs Benedict was also super crispy and flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed the meal!

    Catherine H.

    Super cute brunch place! Waitlist usually moves by pretty quick. Everything is very aesthetic, from the interior to the table decor to the food. I personally love the mochi waffle here and the fruit always tastes refreshing! Service is also fast and nice but for some reason, drinks took a really long time. It came towards the end of our meal and this was after we reminded. Note for birthday cakes: they charge a $2.50 fee per person to eat it there so please keep this in mind. I understand the point of the fee but it seems kind of pointless for how small it is.

    Hi, is there any vegan friendly option in the menu?

    Yes, there are several vegan options and plates that can be modified to vegan. I googled it but the answer is too long!!… Read more

    Do they still serve gluten-free waffles or gluten-free pancakes?

    They do moffle gluten free.

    Is sweet maple no longer open for dinner time?

    I know for sure that the Palo Alto location is no longer open for dinner. I have a feeling that this is the same for all the other locations. The waiter said that they can't seem to put together a dinner menu that is "consistent with their theme."… Read more

    Dairy allergy here. Does the chicken and waffles have dairy in it? Like milk or butter?

    Does this place allow reservations?

    Sweet Maple is walk-in ONLY, at least that's been my experience and what's listed on their website. I've typically been seated for parties of 2 or 4 without too long of a wait. Depending on the day and if you have a large party, you can contact them… Read more

    How do i make a reservation?

    In person only

    Is there yelp wait ahead list still? Used to have it when they first opened....

    I don't think so as I tried to join the wait ahead list the other day and it wasn't available sadly.

    Is there online reservation?

    No online reservation for the Palo Alto site.

    Are the dog friendly?

    Their features section says dogs allowed! Indoor/outdoor seating as well.

    Until what time do they serve breakfast?

    They serve breakfast until 2:30pm when they close for a break before dinner.

    They do it for dinner- not for breakfast.

    Are the moffles gluten free?

    Is the restaurant (small) dog friendly?

    What's the usual wait time to get seated for brunch on a Sunday?

    One hour and 40 minutes usually between an hour to a two

    What's the dinner menu? Thanks!

    Would be too much to type here, but a few people uploaded pictures of the dinner menu. Look at the upper right hand corner of Sweet Maple's yelp page, click "See All Pictures" or "See 739 Photos" -> Menu -> Look for pictures of dinner menu.

    Is it nut allergy safe?

    There were walnuts with the chicken and waffles.

    What is the outside seating like? Can you hear people to have a conversation?

    I went on a Saturday around 1:30. We sat out front and we were not close to hear other's conversations and we could easily hear people at our table. We had shade, but some of the tables did not have an umbrella and they got very hot and wanted to… Read more

    Are there any vegan options?

    Is it crazy busy on weekends...if I just want to get a drink to go?

    I went at 11am on a Saturday and the wait was 1.5 hours long. If you show up later the wait could be 2+ hours. The best time to go is before 9am so you don't have to wait that long

Definitely worth getting the umami fries as they were seasoned to perfection. A perfect starting side! Horsefeather is a perfect brunch spot to stop by and try in this Old Town and Country Palo Alto plaza. I have never heard of this chain nor in their other locations before and was definitely satisfied afterwards with their great dishes and their aesthetically modern decorated interior. The dishes here are American so you'd get what you typically get for breakfast from scrambles to French Toast, and we ordered the French Toast, the Chicken and Waffles, and a Salad during our visit here. All of what was ordered was perfect and beautifully plated upon arrival and out of all that was ordered, I have to say the chicken and waffles with their matcha butter & syrup was their standout dish. I have never seen matcha infused with butter but it was perfect and complimented the waffle just right. The chicken was fried and juicy inside and the waffle in general was toasted with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and soft interior. French Toast was a definite close contender too, where the toast was still gooey soft as expected and served with syrup & cream on the side. Salad was good but nothing too extraordinary about it. The staff here were all very nice and on a busy lunch day, I was surprised & pretty sure just lucky was able to get a table in less than 10 min on a Sunday. For weekend brunch, Horsefeather is a perfect spot to visit & enjoy the pre-afternoon before enjoying Palo Alto. I would highly recommend checking this place out and will definitely be back for more.

Our favorites were the kimchi deviled eggs, the miso linguini pasta, and the yuzu dessert. One thing I did notice was the seating arrangement. I had seen another Yelp review mentioning that they were seated right next to another party despite the restaurant being mostly empty, and we had a similar experience. Even with plenty of open tables, we were seated directly beside another group, making it easy to hear each other's conversations. It wasn't a huge issue, but a little more spacing would have made the dining experience feel more comfortable. Overall, the food and service were great.

I don't think this is a must get. I liked the flavors otherwise. The octopus was one of my favorites. I loved the sauce for it and the jalapeños were a nice touch! The pork chop was one of my favorites as well!! I love how it was experimented with peaches; I'd never think to try those together but it works. The short rib steak was amazing! It's suuuper tender and I'm still thinking about it. Though I probably wouldn't eat it with the green beans; it didn't seem to go well together but it did with the mushrooms. The service is great here; they even took a napkin that was hung on my chair and folded it neatly onto the table again. I wish the portion sizes were bigger here overall, when you share with four people you're only getting like a bite each and for the prices even though it's a fancier place I'd expect to get a litttleee more (i've seen other fancy places have bigger sizes)

Mid week brunch meant a quieter atmosphere and open seating. After perusing the menu we ordered at the counter before sitting at a table after picking up utensils and water. We ordered Fambrini's Breakfast, Brie & Mushroom Omelette, Crab Omelette, and shares the Lotus Biscoff Pancakes. Everyone loved their egg platters. The eggs were perfectly light and fluffy. I generally avoid omelettes getting scrambles instead because restaurants tend to overcook the eggs. Our dishes were prepared with quality and flavor in mind. I personally had the crab omelette and left no crumbs behind. The potatoes were well seasoned and wish I had enough room in my tummy to finish them off! The drip coffee was bold and delicious not watered down at all! Finally, we shared the 2 stack biscoff pancakes for a sweet finish. The pancakes were bouncy with biscoff sauce and a mound of whipped cream. This was mouth wateringly delicious. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this was so yummy. This isn't a traditional sit down service but counter staff were friendly and efficient. There is a small parking lot off to the side and there is indoor and patio seating. Come by for a meal and you won't be disappointed! I wish I lived closer so I could taste the rest of their meal. Kudos and thanks for an awesome meal!

I especially loved the agnolotti verde and the Broadbent heritage country ham--both paired perfectly with the white Burgundy and Pinot Noir we ordered. This was my second visit, and honestly the overall hospitality and execution have gotten even better. The wine list is kind of insane (in a good way)--super deep, almost like a bible, with a lot of reasonably priced gems. The vibe and interior also make it a great spot for a date or a more serious wine dinner. Definitely coming back soon!

The wine list is so extensive and the som can help pick the perfect bottle. And the food is delicious and beautifully presented - from the "bites" to the apps to the mains (they're famous for their chicken and chicken nugget "bite" with caviar), and, possibly best of all, the desserts like the souffle. They also have a retail store for wine with an amazing selection of wine, beer, and liquors. And parking isn't too challenging in downtown Menlo Park.

She was incredibly patient in explaining the menu and took the time to describe each dish and its unique features, which was extremely helpful for first-time visitors like us. My friend was interested in a dinner item, and Angelica went above and beyond by kindly checking with the kitchen to see if it could be prepared for us during lunch. The food was great, but Angelica's outstanding service made the experience truly memorable. Her friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to help made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back and recommending Sun of Wolf to our friends and family.

On this occasion, we came here on a Friday evening, we had made reservations for 6 of us. I personally ordered the agua fresca-pineapple and the lasagna. We ordered 2 chips and salsa for the table and the others ordered, arugula salad, tacos de carnitas, mahi mahi tacos, hamachi tostadas and drinks such as the spicy tamarindo, mocktail and margarita. Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.

It was fairly empty when I got there so the service was fast. I shared a huge hurricane pitcher with my husband which was fun to drink. I'll be back to try more menu items for sure.

My husband took me here for Mother's Day. The menu is quite overwhelming so we decided to stick with the Creole dishes. We got the etouffee, crawfish and shrimp gumbo, bbq pulled pork po boy and beignets. My son got the sliders. The food came out super quick after we'd ordered, so that was good. I'm also glad that we can order via the QR code so we don't have to flag the server down. We ate at the covered portion outside so the sun wouldn't be beaming on us. I enjoyed the decor and the NOLA feel to the place with the beads everywhere. Back to the food: Etouffee: 4/5 pretty good but not the best I've had. The flavors were there. Gumbo 4/5: I couldn't tell the difference between the gumbo and étouffée, but this was also good. Pulled pork po boy 3/5: Just OK. Maybe the shrimp would've been better. Beignets: 4/5 I loved that they came with the different sauces and tasted great after the meal, but we were too stuffed to finish them. Overall, great experience and good eats. It is unique to the area to have this kind of restaurant, so that gives this place a little extra appeal.

After checking in, we were informed that the entire party had to be present before we could be seated. While waiting, I ordered a drink at the bar and enjoyed the beautiful rooftop terrace. The deep cushioned seating, combined with views of Stanford University, the Woodside hills, and the surrounding skyline, created a memorable setting for a special occasion. The dining room is airy, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. The glass roof allows plenty of natural light without the harsh glare, making the space comfortable and inviting. The menu is fairly straightforward and not particularly unique, though prices are definitely premium. Sandwiches range from about $24 to $58, and the mini lobster or crab rolls are $20 each. For our group of five, we ordered three lobster rolls, lamb chops, two Caesar salads, two orders of oysters, honey-glazed salmon, sweet potatoes, truffle fries, a gem salad, and several drinks and glasses of wine. Unfortunately, neither the kitchen nor the table service lived up to expectations. Our starters arrived, followed by most of the entrees, but the kitchen completely forgot both Caesar salads. We asked about them twice. By the time they finally arrived, the salads were soggy and lacked the freshness you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. RH Rooftop delivers a stunning setting and is an undeniably beautiful place for a celebration. However, for a restaurant positioned as a luxury dining experience, I expected the food and service to match the spectacular surroundings. While everything looked impressive, the meal itself felt average and the service lacked the attention to detail expected at this price point. In the end, I left feeling that I had paid for the atmosphere rather than the dining experience.

When we ordered 2 cowboy rib eye, 1 NY steak, 1 porterhouse- he asked us if we were sharing and of course we were - he offered to bring it in on a big tray which was excellent! The steaks were perfectly done! The sides were had cesar salad, the twice baked baked potato, the mixed vegetables were all excellent! The appetizers- bread basket, mushrooms and octopus were also 10/10.. Our dessert-the Pistachio Cheesecake is the best! We are so happy to be at this place! Everyone was checking on us, making sure our drinks were poured, that we were okay and if we needed anything else! Better than the highly rated steak houses..This will always be our go to Steak house on our special family occasions.. By the way our drinks were also the best! The cucumber spritzer, the watermelon, the soju and the mixed Crown Royal with Canadian whiskey.. Thank you for taking care of us so well..

Unfortunately our…read more90 minutes drive was for the tomahawk, even though they have tomahawk but they can't cook it as a whole, they can cook it cut in pieces. I understand people may be ok with that, but not for me. They said they can cook it but will be 35 to 40 minutes and we said that is perfectly fine and understood. But 20 minutes in, the Chef came in gracefully to share that he can't cook it, and he will bring it now, and if we slice it and don't like it, he can then cook the slices. Me and my son thought that we should be able to eat it, even if it was a bit on the rare side, and we did. It wasn't the perfect situation for us, which is the 3 stars, but it wasn't bad. Moral of the story, if you like your tomahawk cooked in one piece, this is not the place for you. For me if it is slices, then it is no longer tomahawk but rather sliced steaks and that's not why I am here. Will we go there again? Most probably, but 100% not for tomahawk.
