Best Cozy Restaurants in Portola Valley

Stepping into The Village Pub is like entering a realm of culinary enchantment. Each dish is a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors and textures that dance upon the palate. The service is impeccable, attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring a seamless and delightful dining experience. The ambiance exudes an air of refined elegance, where every guest is treated with the utmost care and respect. Seven years of patronage have only deepened my appreciation for this exceptional establishment, where each visit leaves me utterly captivated and inspired. This is truly a culinary gem worthy of its Michelin star.

Awesome time. A great dining experience. Service was on point. Only confusing part of evening was our seating arrangement. We only had outside option. But inside was 50% empty. Makes no sense. We watched another couple leave when they couldn’t sit inside.

My companion and I enjoyed two generous size delicious salads and shared one bowl of yummy cauliflower soup along with the Parker Rolls. We'll be back! The Service was excellent too.

We love the food, from soup to dessert every dish is most excellent. In general the wine is good but they could offer more choices. The setting is beautiful. Because of Parkside Grille popularity, early dining is frequently noisy, if you like it quiet, we recommend dining later in the evening. Parkside Grille is our favorite for celebrating events.

Not only was the space itself beautiful, comfortable, and well thought out- every dish was delicious, and the service was impeccable. A definite highlight was the chocolate cake, and the tuna tartar was divine. Nick, our waiter, and all of the rest of the crew- were top notch. We came for a birthday celebration, and I’m certain we will return.
