The atmosphere was great, the food was excellent, I had the pleasure of enjoying a good plate of food and some wonderful salads, I was in a place called dinner room and the waiter who attended me was very kind and attentive to my needs, he did not tell me his name, but he had some Spiderman tattoos on his arm and his partner Frank was also very attentive to offer me dessert, I really enjoyed my dinner and I will be back soon.

The food was good. We went for brunch. It was nice weather but we didn't sit outside since there was live music, it was too loud to have a conversation. Service was a bit slow, but the staff were friendly.

Fabulous 5 Star Quality food and service! We enjoyed a terrific breakfast of perfectly cooked eggs, bacon and country style potatoes with sourdough toast. Next dish was even better! Salmon Benedict! Special Thanks to Audrey for her outstanding professionalism and courtesy during our dining experience! (J~H)

Just enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Menlo Tavern and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We requested a table in the bar area near the fireplace, and it was incredibly cozy. We had the grilled chicken salad along with soup and grilled cheese—everything was delicious. Don’t sleep on the fries either; they’re seriously the best! The staff was friendly and attentive, and the espresso martini was fabulous. I’ll definitely be back soon.

We came for a friend's band. We were able to get seats nearby. We ordered dessert and drinks. My friends said their old fashion was perfect. The bread pudding with apples and vanilla gelato was great. Not too sweet and went well with lattes. Service was nice, the atmosphere cozy. It is a beautiful venue for a party.

Staying at the Stanford Hotel I was able to have food from Menlo Tavern get sent up to my room and I was very delighted to see the big portion sizes. The burger was absolutely delicious and the sauce they have in it pairs very well with their burger patty. The fries and salad were delicious and more than enough in size for a single person. I greatly enjoyed their warm fresh baked cookies at the lobby of the hotel. I highly recommend to check it out especially if you are staying at the Stanford Hotel!

special shoutout to Eliana, Martha (these ladies especially) Ana, and Oscar for making our dining experience exceptional always. They work so hard and deserve to be recognized! Just insanely delicious gourmet food with exceptional plating, attention to detail. Seriously compliments to the chef. I mean the food is just good! We come here all the time, everything’s fresh and gourmet , bread tastes freshly baked in house. Quality of the salmon is to die for. Quality of the coffee is incredible. I think what sets this place apart is the attention to detail and quality of the staff. Happy birthday Martha by the way ☺️. Thank you to all for always taking such great care of us.
