- CCarileeSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe restaurant itself is really cute, and the staff were very accommodating for our birthday reservation. They provided a great dessert plate for our daughter and her friends to share for her birthday and the staff led a great happy birthday song to add to the celebration. I miss the big appetizer plate that they used to offer - that seems to have been taken off the menu. My husband and I enjoyed the branzino and crab fried rice - we felt the two dishes went well together. My daughter and her friends ordered a variety of dishes as well - their absolute favorite was the Seau Rhong Hai (Snake River Wagyu flank steak). It's helpful that they highlight particular ingredients that people might be allergic to - my husband is allergic to peanuts and we are both averse to cilantro, so it helped to pick out appropriate items and staff were accommodating in removing cilantro from the dishes. My husband's typically very weary of Thai food because of possible peanut exposure, and we were very thankful there were no issues and it really allowed him to feel like he could enjoy the food. Definitely anticipate spending about $40-50/person + tips - great experience overall.More infoFarmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine - Menlo ParkPrice: Expensive• Thai• Menlo Park•4.6
