Restaurants near Pardee Park

The food and service at Nobu can’t be beat. Every dish, spot on perfect. Our server & team were phenomenal. He curated our food selections & really nailed it. Food portions are small. Works for me but gets expensive trying to satiate a young guy. I’d love to see the “tacos” be sized for at least two bites. We ate in the atrium area at Nobu Palo Alto. It is probably lovely in the summer when you can see the garden. On a chilly, rainy November night, it felt a bit like being in the overflow area. Could perhaps be made more inviting with a little attention.

We were kindly served Happy Hour indoors due to the cold weather, although Happy Hour is usually served in the bar/patio. Food was delicious, especially the pizzetta with vegan béchamel and vegan cheese. Food selections change seasonally and are consistently excellent. Didn’t give 5 stars on ambience because it was a bit cold inside the restaurant and noisy.

really good food and unique location / atmosphere. service was a bit on the slower side but not annoyingly so. acoustics aren't great - glass walls and ceilings - so it's quite loud inside even partially full. a bit on the pricey side for what you get, but it is very well done (and what isn't overpriced in the valley?).

Would give all 5 stars but the noise level is just too much, plus the type of music playing that all I heard was boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom - like techno music.

I hadn’t been to Evvia in years and it was so great to go back. My friend and I shared a bunch of appetizers: meatballs, octopus, roasted beets and the butternut squash. The octopus was fantastic as were the meatballs. We each had a glass of wine and the whole meal was $100. Will definitely do that again.
