- AAbbyVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner at Roja the day after Valentine’s Day. We were warmly greeted into the restaurant and sat at a beautiful table. James brought us over some sparkling rosé.  We had the cauliflower, Gulf shrimp, potato terrine, and the agnolotti, which was our favorite.  We will be going back for the food and the friendly service.

- DDanielSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoNice restaurant, food was great, food service (timeliness) was good, but not the best table-side (waiter service). I could best describe it as uninterested and distracted. Maybe an off night, not sure. The owner (as maitre d for the night), however, was very friendly and helpful.More infoCetrellaPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Los Altos•4.6
- EEllenSan Francisco Bay Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoValentines Day dinner on the enclosed back patio. The service was exceptional, especially for a very busy night. The ambiance was fine given that I reserved fairly late and got a table on the back patio instead of the main dining room. The patio is very nice in cold weather, warm enough and protected from the wind. It is also pretty quiet. The food was great as always. We were not rushed. Altogether a great experience on a night that can be a nightmare for restaurant owners and workers.More infoUrfa Bistro - MediterraneanPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Los Altos•4.8

- CCarolSan Francisco Bay Area •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoVisited on V-day 2025 one day ahead. Semi-regular guest but pouring rain so expected more no-shows. Not at Sundance. Overall service was impeccable and especially our table service by Jeff. He's a veteran there and extremely knowledgable of the menu and wines including how dishes are cooked and his recommendations, after thoughtful discussion, were perfect. have experienced similar table service in the past. Bone-in rib eye was absolutely phenomenal and just slightly more so than the prime rib. We split the caesar salad which was a perfect size. Good choices for accompaniments including baked potato, mushies, etc. We don't remember the enjoyable special cocktails and wines by the glass but they all matched well! Oh, yes, before I forget, the Chocolate Sundae dessert was a must have and perfect finish. Thank you Galen, Tanner and Jeff.More infoSundance The SteakhousePrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Palo Alto•4.8
