It’s nice when a Michelin Star restaurant is still open for dine-in service. I’ve been there a few times in the past and have always had a good experience. Do note, there is a 20% gratuity applied to your bill (not sure if this applies to takeout as well as some places will slip that in) - the service they offer makes up for it.
The experience during the pandemic was quite good - we opted for outdoor seating (they have limited indoor seating if you want).
The waiters/staff were very attentive and accommodating.
Food and some drink options are limited (blame the pandemic), but everything is high quality and presented nicely. We had the 3-course prix fixe meal and everything was amazing. The burrata (it was an add on) was amazing. Looking forward to going there again.
Went for a birthday dinner, service was amazing, super safe with covid procedures, food was spectacular! I had the filet, highly recommend it!

Went here for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. I'm not a rich man, and not well versed in fancy restaurant etiquette, but I felt right at home here. The server, Melody was prompt, well informed on the menu, and very pleasant. As a normal everyday person, I thought the food was perfect. We had the Peach Padrón Salad and Sweet Corn Mezzaluna for starters, Butter-Poached Maine Lobster and Wagyu Filet Mignon for main, and Brûléed Nectarine Tart and Chocolate Soufflé for the dessert. The presentation was perfect, and the taste even better. Each peach had a different combination of ingredients in the dish, and the Mezzaluna had the most decadent sauce. For the main, the lobster had just the right texture, and the Wagyu just melts away in your mouth. For the dessert, the chocolate soufflé was very rich and slightly bitter, which I greatly enjoyed, the Nectarine Tart was even better, sweet crust with just the right Tart to balance. Regrettably, I only snapped a photo of the Wagyu Filet Mignon.
OK, so eye-wateringly expensive, but good. Come late and you’ll see the low-key “creme de la creme” of the Woodside and Portola valley wealthy. Professional waiters, good menu, great ambiance, worth saving for, or what the heck, charge it and pay later...!
Food is delicious. Thus the four star review.
Service gets two stars.
For a high end restaurant their service is lacking. They were incredibly slow and inattentive. Had to ask to order our food. Cocktails came 30 minutes after we arrived. Brought a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal. My husband asked for a glass of it with our appetizer. The sever didn’t bring it. Had to ask again mid way into our first dish. Seriously. So disappointing.
Desserts need help. Cheesecake tasted store bought. Apple tart was lacking apples.
Not impressed for the price tag.
The food and cocktails were fantastic. They were very careful with social distancing even sitting inside. When I asked about gluten free options, they went above and beyond to make sure my whole meal was gluten free.
3rd times i am going there. Food is excellent (especially fishes), very nice choice of wine and perfect service. A lot of plates with French cuisine inspiration.
I prefer this restaurant very much. theres a nice spirit. The meals are tasty. the service is efficient and the crew is well trained. The price is honest. I warmly recommend.
