Suggestions for American Restaurant near Palo Alto

Andy W. • October 1, 2020Great food and service even during Covid. Outdoor dining is great especially during the warm fall evenings of Palo Alto. Somm owner Dennis is super friendly

Catherine M. • July 10, 2013Their lovely weekend brunch (everything is good!) is at their old location at 806 Emerson St. No reservations for brunch.  Don't forget to order a mimosa.

Jeena J. • September 25, 2016The portions were large and very healthy! I had the salt and pepper chicken with a side of salad, yummy!

Rebecca B. • October 27, 2018Good coffee cake. Nice variety on menu with lots of breakfast and Mexican and comfort food options (with pretty good veggie offerings). They use "fresh" to describe orange juice from concentrate!

Anthony Y. • November 19, 2017Their boards and toasts are amazing. Fresh greens, great service, and their sparkling lemonade were the perfect pairing for a fantastic outdoor Sunday brunch.

G G. • October 19, 2019This restaurant is located in Nordstrom's on the 3rd floor. I wasn't aware that Nordstrom's has different tiers of restuarants at each location.

Mike K. • January 2, 2018The snickerdoodle milkshake was excellent! Really enjoyed the Italian Job and sweet potato fries. Delicious food without much of a wait.

Bikash C. • July 31, 2016Burgers and tacos are great! However I asked the server to recommend a nice Chardonnay and it was $32/glass. A little underhanded in my opinion.

Jose G. • November 9, 2014Breakfast and brunch are awesome and super-tasty. Try the benedics!

ben s. • January 3, 2013Thai need salad is great.. I get it with salmon or scoop of tuna. Inside scoop is also great!

Craig C. • February 11, 2013Excellent breakfast buffet!

Bohdan H. • June 6, 2015This place is all about American food. Big portions, lot of sugar and oil. On the photo you can see Caribbean French toasts, that are kind of special here.

Andrea S. • August 13, 2015Try their salads!

Jackie H. • February 22, 2011If you're in a hurry, DON'T come here. The lady making my sandwich is taking 5 years.

Doug G. • February 2, 2010Tuna melt is really good

Wesley G. • August 6, 2017This place had good burgers and really good fries. They also have a new way to order directly from an iPad. You get a 10% discount if you use your credit card!

Elliot L. • May 9, 2017There's a Yelp coupon for onion strings. Ribs are good. The cole slaw that comes with them has a strong horseradish flavor. Nice back patio.
