Best Romantic Restaurants in Portola Valley

This was our second visit. The food and service were very good. This place is much better than the Parkside Grill and we recommend it heartily. We had a 7:30 reservation on a Thursday night. The place did not have many customers and the waiter told us they had had many earlier reservations. This is consistent with our observation that dinners frequently start around 6:00 pm.

We had a lovely dinner, great ambiance and lighting, cool bar. Would definitely go back.

The village pub had a New Year day brunch with a prix fixe menu of 3 courses. For each part of the menu there were many choices. The dishes were excellent. The burrata salad was amazing with the most delicious and delicate burrata. This was a great lunch to begin the new year for a good price!

We had been hoping to go back to Flea Strret for a year and we were not disappointed when we finally got a reservation and dined last night. Jesse greeted us at the door, the service was very good and every choice from the beef tartare to the wild King salmon was delicious. It was a lovely evening and we won’t let another year pass before we return.

We loved the ambiance at this place. Even though we arrived about 20 minutes early, we were seated promptly. The restaurant offers charming spaces: a formal dining area with crisp white tablecloths and a serene outdoor space with lush greenery and a covered roof. It’s a beautifully relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely meal. If you're in a hurry, this may not be the spot for you. We visited for Sunday brunch, and while it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive, the service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Breakfast Sandwich, Baby Kale and Quinoa Salad, Shakshouka, and the Home Fries as an appetizer—each dish was delicious. The bread with the Shakshouka was absolutely incredible. While prices are on the higher side (approximately $35 per person, excluding alcohol and tip), the quality of the food and the laid-back setting make it worth the experience. Plus, it’s conveniently located near lovely walking parks, adding to its appeal.
