    Excellent food, average service and a table of people so loud we couldn't even talk to the two friends at our table. Nice ambiance.

    This was our second visit. The food and service were very good. This place is much better than the Parkside Grill and we recommend it heartily. We had a 7:30 reservation on a Thursday night. The place did not have many customers and the waiter told us they had had many earlier reservations. This is consistent with our observation that dinners frequently start around 6:00 pm.

    After 30 years on the east coast during which we made occasional visits to Cafe Pro Bono, my wife and I returned to Palo Alto two years ago and quickly adopted this restaurant as our hands-down favorite SF Bay Area favorite. The menu is sufficiently varied that even at 2 or 3 dinners a week, we never get bored. Owner Akif Aydin and his remarkable waitstaff have become like family—always very welcoming and attentive without being obsequious. Especially important to my wife and me: Our frequent requests to split appetizers and entrees are always honored without question or surcharge. Must try dishes: Susan’s Downfall, salads featuring warm goat cheese, Veal Piccata, and Panna cotta.
