The design of Sekoya is meant to evoke an organic, botanical experience inspired directly by the California-native Sequoia and Redwood tree also known as “Palo Alto”.In addition to reserving unique experiences in our Lounge and at our Tree Table, we will also have two private dining rooms: The Pacific Room and The Sekoya Terrace.We look forward to serving you soon!

Cascal continues to be a top notch lunch or dinner spot. The Spanish food is lively and profusely diffuse. While the prices have inched up,so it has in the other fine restaurants in Silicon Valley. I will return!

It was our first time at the restaurant, we have always wanted to try it so decided to go for a special occasion. We had a fantastic experience. The hostess and staff were extremely friendly, the restaurant was very cute and had an energetic noise level and energy. Batina took care of us and was the absolute best. We had the bourbon and rustic oysters, both were great! For our mains we had the crab and lobster linguine and the chipino with crab, would recommend both but if you can only pick one go with the chipino. Can't wait to go back!
