Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Woodside

We have a reservation at 6:30 for 4 people on a Monday evening. When we got there they sat us outside in the patio. I asked the host if we could sit inside the restaurant. They told us” NO” because there was nothing available inside. I can see that there was a lot of empty tables. So we just like ok we can sit in outside. Our dinner took over 2 hrs and I look inside the same table were still empty. I still don’t understand why can we sit inside. Anyway!! Their food has improved and the service was good.

All the dishes were great. We tried the Prix Fixe menu for lunch. Good selection to choose from.

What a good dinner experience! The food, the ambiance, service -everything. The host was very warm and welcoming which actually kick-starts your dinner experience on a good note. Everything we tried on the menu was delicious and so flavorful. Their lamb is really out of this world. Wine list (bottle and by the glass) is big and spans a range of $$ which gives options. Desserts were great too and different than what we’ve tried (same type). It’s a bit on the expansive side. Overall, an amazing dinner experience and will def go back again.

Outdoor dining at the Parkside is enchanting is good weather, while indoor dining in winter weather is cozy and intimate. The quality of the food is always remarkable, and the ambiance reflects impeccable taste. To be seated amongst the highly successful movers and doers, the cool, ambitious, intelligent, unpretentious sophisticates of Woodside and Portola Valley is a privilege. The patrons of the Parkside are from the demographic that put Silicon Valley on the global map. They have exquisite, subdued tastes and elect to dine at the Parkside; that speaks volumes.

Maybe the friendliest and most cheerful restaurant I've been to. Food is consistently excellent across all dishes. Casual atmosphere, feels like being a family guest. Highly recommended.
