Palo Alto Places

Some of my favorite places in PA to eat or hang out...

1. Country Sun

440 S California Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94309
(650) 324-9190

Categories: Fruits & Veggies, Vegetarian, Grocery, Health Markets

12/24/2009

Hubby has complained about his childhood of embarrassments, including the hard black bread baked by his mom and the odd, oil-free and egg-less condiments slathered onto said bread. He wished he could trade lunches with the other kids in school, but…More »

Categories: Venues & Event Spaces, Art Galleries

3/17/2009 First to Review

I watched as this store took over the location of the previous furniture company. I've walked by it a hundred times, telling myself to stop inside when I have the chance.

Today I had the chance, as next week is little sis' birthday and I wanted to…More »

Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 321-3030

3/2/2006

The nice outdoor patio and the wonderful champagne-batter fried onion rings make this a fun place to hang out with your friends. The guys really seem to enjoy the beers and hamburgers, too.

5. Evvia Estiatorio

420 Emerson St
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 326-0983

Category: Greek

12/14/2007

It's not like Evvia needs yet another stellar review, but I really enjoy the sophisticated atmosphere and great service. This is one the nicest restaurants in Palo Alto to take a client (or to be treated to!). I always suggest starting with the…More »

6. Joanie's Café

405 S California Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94306
(650) 326-6505

Categories: Breakfast & Brunch, American (Traditional), Coffee & Tea

1/1/2009

On the morning of NYE I walked into Joanie's to have breakfast by my lonesome. Hubby was having outpatient ankle surgery and I wanted to stay nearby. I had a hot chocolate and egg scramble (with tomatoes, mushrooms, and green onions plus extra…More »

7. La Baguette

170 Stanford Shoppng Ctr
Palo Alto, CA 94304
(650) 321-0535

Categories: Bakeries, Coffee & Tea, Desserts

12/17/2008

It's time for my annual window-shopping spree at Stanford Mall with Belle from the City. I can't wait to pick up my brioche and hot chocolate (Jenni B. has it so right!) from La Baguette. Sometimes I even grab a turkey and cheese baguette sandwich…More »

8. Mandarin Gourmet

420 Ramona St
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 328-8898

Category: Chinese

3/2/2006

Of all the Mandarin Gourmet locations I've tried, this one has the best quality food and ambiance. It always amazes me that the families who eat here seem to have well-behaved children -- as if they know this is a classy restaurant. The vegetable…More »

9. NOLA Restaurant & Bar

535 Ramona St
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 328-2722

Categories: Cajun/Creole, American (New)

11/27/2007

Nola's has been around for a long time, but I never found the exterior to very inviting. Inside, the restaurant has an array of separate rooms, the bar area, as well as tables on an upper level overlooking the open-roofed courtyard. On a nice day,…More »

Categories: Fruits & Veggies, Grocery, Farmers Market

4/3/2006

Sigona's offers farm-fresh produce and delicious private-label items like extra virgin olive oil, 12-year aged balsamic vinegar, and mountain-grown fruit jams. While I don't shop here often, I often shop here when I need something special. Even if…More »

11. Sprout Cafe

168 University Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 323-7688

Categories: Sandwiches, Coffee & Tea

Update - 9/3/2008

Today I tried the shrimp sandwich and I continue to be impressed with the freshness and flavor of the food served here. I would have liked more shrimp, but the sandwich still tasted great. I hope Sprout Cafe lives long here in Palo Alto.

(650) 329-9168

Category: Chinese

Update - 2/19/2010

Happy Year of the Tiger!

A client treated me (nice role-reversal, indeed!) for lunch at Taipan and we decided on several dim sum dishes and the vegetarian hot and sour soup. We both enjoyed everything, especially the soup. I was reminded of the…More »

Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 328-2877

Categories: Coffee & Tea, Tea Rooms

1/11/2008

I love tea, and Tea Time makes drinking it all the more pleasurable. Having a couple tea sandwiches with a pot of hot tea, light jazz, free wi-fi access (but why use it during this time of relaxation unless you're going to yelp about Tea…More »

15. A.G. Ferrari Foods - CLOSED

200 Hamilton Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 752-0900

Categories: Cheese Shops, Delis, Italian

2/19/2009

A G Ferrari is a mixed bag. The quality of the food is very good, but it lacks flavor. I just don't enjoy what I'm eating enough to think about having it again. I've tried a variety of items, including the pasta, ravioli, and frittatas. If you're…More »

(650) 329-0700

Categories: Bagels, Kosher

2/19/2009

I admit it...I came here for the free wi-fi. Having overbooked with two meetings back-to-back and a concall in between, I desperately needed somewhere to connect. Pathetic, yes. I ordered a hot tea and some pastries to take home and ease my guilt.…More »

185 University Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94301
(650) 321-3514

Categories: Wine Bars, Italian, Mediterranean

3/5/2008

I agree with Tim I; the critics are a bit too harsh. The food I've had so far here is quite good and tasty. This is one place I think of going to for their relatively (relative to PA) value-priced lunch specials. You usually have a protein choice…More »

18. The Counter

369 California Ave
Palo Alto, CA 94306
(650) 321-3900

Category: Burgers

12/17/2008

I normally do not crave burgers; they require way too much time on the treadmill to burn off.

How very ironic that the first time I ever went to The Counter was after an evening yoga class, and the instructor and a number of the students decided to…More »

Recently updated lists from Sherri C.

When Romance is in the Air... (12) ...these are some of the places guaranteed to serve up a memorable experience for that special occasion.	Reasonable South Bay Dining Options (36) Places you can visit regularly for decent meals without breaking the bank.
Ramen From South Bay to South Bay (17) Until there's more time to Yelp, here's the short list of ramen places I've been to from SF to LA.	In Search of the Perfect Cupcake (20) I cannot possibly try all the new cupcakeries that are popping up all over the place; I would be fatter than high school Monica on Friends. But here are some places I've tried.
Best Places to 'Cruz (4) Where I like to go when I have the chance to get over the hill!	Late Night Places (6) In search of places to eat after 9:00 pm, these are the restaurants where we often end up.
O Canada (13) It could be the refreshing mountain air, the high altitude, or the fact that Canadian cooks are often of European descent. I found Rocky Mountain cuisine to be above-average delicious and the bread served at every restaurant was unique and awesome.	Sherri's Bay Area Sushi and Sashimi Experiences (59) Fresh fish is not a luxury, but a must-have, and after downing this staple at least two or three times a week, I still don't have as extensive a list as I should. Maybe I need to up my intake frequency...
The One-Star List (14) Most of the time I don't want to bother writing about the one-stars and when I do, it's probably because I wished I could give the place no stars or negative star ratings!	So Much to Do with So Little Time in Vegas... (48) I've gone to Vegas so often you'd think I'd be bored of it, but every time I visit it is usually for a company event or tradeshow with not much time to check things out. Also, the Strip seems to be in a constant state of new construction so it's never quite the same each time.
