This delightful hidden gem of Palo Alto that feels more like NYC's West Village than suburban California has been here forever, but its creative seasonal Cal menu, very good service and selection of Santa Cruz wines never pales; the upscale weekend brunch is possibly the best in the south bay, and the intimate atmosphere makes it ideal for a romantic dinner.
