This is an outstanding Greek restaurant. The best I have ever been to. Definitely a Michelin-quality. For a few decates I wanted to visit the famed Kokkari Estiatorio in SF but never had a chance. I am happy that they opened this location (sister restaurant) in Palo Alto. Calamari, Octopus, Lamb Chops, and their dessert offerings were all good. Stands out even for Palo Alto. The service quality was excellent as well. My business associate and I had a wonderful dinning experience. Thank you.

We got a seat at the bar ordered cocktails and small dishes. Everything was uniformly excellent. The barkeeper was knowledgeable and made a beautifully balanced Manhattan. The small dishes recommonded were all tasty and of high quality. Overall the only reason to dock a star is that Nobu is expensive (big surprise). But if you are not cost sensitive, then this is an excellent place for high quality drinks and light dishes. Recommended.
