- JJaniceVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFour of us had a wonderful pre holiday lunch and we are all extremely satisfied customers for close to 20 years. The food was amazing, we began with fried calamari and the cauliflower soup. We shared the branzino (deboned ) sole fish, lamb chops and the chicken souvlaki. For dessert two of us enjoyed Judy's ice cream sundae and an order of galaktourrko and the chocolate cake. Delicious.. Our server Pryush was beyond outstanding, very helpful and extremely pleasant.More infoEvviaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Palo Alto•4.8
- LLoriSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWow, what an incredible experience! It was our first time here, and we were celebrating my guy's birthday. Honestly, I’m not usually into Greek food and thought Turkish cuisine might be pretty similar, so I was a bit skeptical going in. But let me tell you, I was absolutely blown away! The flavors were a delightful surprise, and I loved every bite! The service was top-notch, with fantastic recommendations that our whole group raved about. And those cocktails? Just as delicious as the food! The ambiance was electrifying, setting the perfect mood for our celebration. I can't wait to go back for another unforgettable meal!More infoMeyhouse Palo AltoPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Palo Alto•4.8

We really appreciated the soft background holiday music that made our table conversation effortless. The salads, pastas and the hazelnut flan were all so enjoyable.
