    $26 Khachapuri Adjaruli | Boat-shaped cheese bread with butter and an egg.
    Angel H.

    Nice to have a Georgian cuisine option nearby. Service was great, our server spoke fluent Russian. 20% tip automatically added to every bill no matter how large your party. Standouts: $26 Khachapuri Adjaruli | Boat-shaped cheese bread with butter and an egg. - delicious and unique, can see why it's so popular and their signature dish! $16 Artichoke with Baje | Fried artichoke, walnut sauce, tashmijab (cheese melted into mashed potatoes), red adjika oil, svaneti salt. - the tashmijab was really good texture and flavor, unique. The main courses ended up tasting all kind of similar in flavor and accompaniments, ended up blending into the same style from dish to dish. We tried the Khinkali dumplings and ate them the traditional way, holding it upside down w hands - these were okay. The skin is thick and kind of blots out the flavors in the meat, and the soup inside was not particularly juicy. Cocktails were excellent, faves were Seo, Bounty Hunter, and Metamorphosis.

    Front dining

    "Bevri" (): is a Georgian word that translates to "a lot" or "much" in English. This restaurant in toney DT Los Altos (was formerly in Palo Alto?), is a gem of a restaurant. I came here to meet some people in the rear private party room, but walked through it's beautifully appointed front dining space. The food is delicious, well prepared, and although somewhat familiar to other mediterranean styles you might be familiar with, it is also quite different in many ways. The spices are different, and the mix of accent ingredients have a healthier touch, at least at this restaurant's offerings. (Cucumbers, Pomegranate, others. Perhaps this is just California's fresh cornucopia of ingredients meeting Georgian recipes at Bevri?) Our little sub-group ordered or shared: PKHALI - Chopped baby spinach and beets with walnuts and herbs fashioned in 2 separate half scoop domes, served with eggplant rolls and grilled rosemary bread with olives. Good appetizer starter. KHINKALI - (Georgian Dumplings) - these are like Xiao Long Bao's (XLB) bigger brother! There is a little soup in there, but the dough is heavier. You can get Beef, Pork, or Mushroom, in 3, 5, or 8 pieces. You are actually supposed to hold these upside down by the tail and bite and suck out the soup with the bottom on top! AJAPSANDALI - Vegetable stew with eggplants, bell peppers, onions and carrots, cooked with tomatoes, cilantro and spices. PORK CHALAGHAJI - Marinated, slow-cooked baby pork ribs with Adjika sauce. (Adjika is a spicy, savory, and flavorful condiment or spread made from chilies, garlic, herbs, and spices. It's similar to a tomato pepper salsa and is often used in Georgian cooking.) KHACHAPURI ADJARULI - Boat-shaped bread with cheese, butter and an egg! (Bevri put this in their logo, it is so tasty and popular.) MTSVADI - (chicken or pork) Grilled medium-size meat cubes marinated in onions, herbs and spices. WINTER PEAR - (dessert) Ripe pear cooked in Georgian wine with Ice-cream paired with fresh mint and walnuts ZANDUKELI - (non-alcoholic beverage) - Pear flavored Sparkling Lemonade Soda Service was excellent, with a roomful of 25 - 30 diners, all arriving at different times, with separate checks, the staff brought out all the orders in timely fashion, hot and nicely plated, with no mixups! And Bevri doesn't charge for tips! You know, all these dishes sort of rhyme, makes my mind create a sort of Drake slow song/rap about sweet girls and good food... We had a party at Bevri, the first inside was Beverly, We shared a nice pear beverage, no alcohol, no leverage, Beets and Spinach Pkhali, then walked in pretty Dolly, We slurping up Khinkali, hold upside down, no folly, Queue AjapSandali, as here comes Jean and Molly, Served Pork Chalaghaji, Chicken, Pork Mtsvadi...... Play it on Repeat!

    Yum! I had never had Georgian food before so I didn't know what to expect, but my mom picked it for her birthday and I'm so glad she did! We loved the dumplings (all three flavors) and the chicken with potatoes dish. We also really enjoyed the bean filled pastries and the burrata filled bread (although that was a little too cheesy for me). I had the pear vodka soda and loved it and the desserts were really pretty (but didn't taste like anything spectacular). In the future, I hope to try the rosemary olive bread, one of the other cheesy breads, and their warm pear dessert. The ambiance and decor were cool - felt authentic. I will say our first waitress was nice, but it took a while for anyone to check on us after the food came out. Then, she seemed to have gone home because no one came to check on us until we pulled another guy over and asked for dessert and a drink, and he seemed confused about the menu, so it was a little disappointing. Had to deduct a star for the slow service. Overall I hope to come back soon!

    Amazing food and good vegeterian options! Pkhali 5/5 My favorite dish on the menu. Khachapuri 5/5 Hype is real! :) Artichoke with baje 4/5 The mashed potato could use some more flavors/cheese. The adijka oil elevated the dish. Pista cocktail 2/5 it's sweet as opposed to tart as our server mentioned. They didn't take it back, but they were able to reconstitute it for us. Desserts seemed overly priced and uninspiring. Portion sizes are a bit on the smaller side. No typing policy is a nice touch. Service was a bit slow, ambiance is pleasant. There is a parking lot right behind the restaurant.

    Cheese bread
    Ritchie A.

    Tried this place for the first time and will definitely be back! I love the unique touch of the 'no tipping' policy--just enjoy the European cuisine. The cheese bread was my absolute favorite! I also tried the dumplings, which were okay for me, and the lamb was a good choice. The lamb kebab was flavorful, and the beef ribs were incredibly tender. We added a side of spicy sauce, which was a great complement. For dessert, we finished with the lava cake--it had a beautiful presentation and was perfectly gooey inside. Cozy and pretty inside! Servers were nice! Overall, a great experience!

    Pork Mtsvadi

    I really enjoyed this place! My favorites include the Baked Brussels sprouts appetizer, the cheese bread boat, and the Napoleon Cake. For the Brussels sprouts, I really enjoyed the flavor with the combination of cheese - I don't usually see that combo. The cheese boat was soooo good, but I'd definitely recommend sharing it if you can, it is very large. The Napoleon cake was much bigger than I thought. It tastes like cream puffs and was easily shareable among 4 people. I think my entree was a bit too dry for me. The portion sizes for most of their dishes are also a bit smaller, so I'd recommend ordering more than just one entree. In general the ambiance was nice and calm! We went on a Sunday evening and there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

    Khachapuri Adjaruli
    Karen J.

    Bevri is a popular Georgian restaurant around Main Street in Los Altos. There's plenty of parking nearby. Food 5/5: every dish was a star in flavor and presentation. Everyone on Yelp recommended the boat cheese bread and it did not disappoint! It's extremely filling and delicious. I would recommend sharing with 3+ people. The lamb Khinkali Dumplings were also quite delicious. It's more similar to a baozi (Chinese bun) than a soup dumpling. In total, we got 5 dishes (4 + 1 dessert) to share for 3 people. The restaurant automatically adds a service fee to your receipt and does not ask for tip. The servers were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. The overall bill came out to over $40 per person. It was a little pricey for the quantity of food, but taking into account the service, presentation, and quality of food, it's definitely worth coming for a special occasion.

    Amazing bread
    Tony F.

    Exceptional experience trying out Georgian food for the first time! Great location in downtown Los Altos, and excellent friendly and helpful service. All in all a 5-star. The best dish highly recommended to try is Khachapuri Imeruli, the boat-shaped cheese bread with butter and egg I strongly suggest to have the waiter to prepare it for you (see video). The second recommendation is the dumplings. Make sure you ask waiter to explain how to eat it properly as it's not traditional! It's dumplings with soup inside with your hand, and you are supposed to pick it up, turn it upside down, eat the bottom first and enjoy the soup/juice! We also got the chicken liver pate, which was amazing, too.

    Mini Napoleon Cake. Water glass for scale.

    Great main and apps, not great dessert. But to be fair, the waiter did say we should go with another one. Everything here was great for the savory food. Cooked perfectly, great and strong flavors, and high quality ingredients. The pictures of the cheese boat are spot on and the hype for it is legit. If you like Chinese Xiao Long Bao, you should try the dumpling. It's a different flavor profile but still good. The beef and pork one reminded us of the spices you get on a beef Kafta. It was good but we would want to try the mushroom next time. The dessert was where it was lacking. The size was small (that's fine) but the pastry was soft and my wife caught notes of staleness. I think they just make it in the afternoon and stick it in the fridge. To me, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. The service was... service. We went at 5:15 and for 80% of our meal, the whole Wait staff was sitting at the bar scrolling whatever they were looking at. They didn't check on us and we had to flag them down for more water. It wasn't bad, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and they discuss we wanted to not be disturbed. The food came out hot and they mixed the cheese for us, so honestly it was ok, hence not marking them down a star. We would definitely come back it was very unique as we've never had Georgian food before

    Cheese bread with egg

    Delicious food!!! The short ribs were really tasty. The cheese bread was a touch messy but still enjoyable. The natakhari drink was too sweet for me.

    Khachapuri Adjaruli and chicken mtsvadi
    Nina S.

    Mind blown! I'd never tried Georgian food before, and it was amazing. The food, service, and drinks were all fantastic at Bevri. I came in on a Tuesday for dinner to catch up with a girl friend, and Bevri was a perfect place. It was easy to relax and talk and hear each other over good food and tasty wine. The Khachapuri Adjaruli was out of this world - you've gotta try it! I drool just thinking about that cheesy bread with an egg on top. We also thought the chicken mtsvadi was tasty. The staff were very welcoming and helped us navigate the menu and pick a wine. If you're into wine, you've got to try the Georgian amber wine here! We went for the Dilao Mtsvane/Rkatsiteli Amber wine, and it was fantastic with hints of melon and cantaloupe. Can't wait to bring more friends or come back on a date!

    This was my first time at Bevri, and my first time trying Georgian food, and I was pleasantly surprised! Not because I expected it to be bad, but because I didn't expect to LOVE it this much. I highly recommend the Lobiani--hands down my favorite dish. I'd never had anything like it before: a flaky puff pastry filled with beans. It's totally vegetarian-friendly, but honestly, it's a great choice for anyone, regardless of diet. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of this one, but try it! You won't be disappointed. :) We also had the chicken kebab, which was flavorful and well-cooked. It was more familiar to me since similar versions appear in Indian, Afghan, and other cuisines I've had - but still, it was tasty. That said, the Lobiani really stood out. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    My first time having Georgian food, and I loved it! Parking is relatively easy. There is either street parking or the downtown area has some public parking lots just a short walk around the block. For a starter, I recommend getting the Pkhali. These tasty spreads come in spinach and beet flavors and are made with chopped walnuts and herbs. The colors are so vibrant and pretty! They also give you bread to spread it on, as well as eggplant rolls. You also must try their quintessential Georgian dishes--their Khinkali and Khachapuri Adjaruli! The Khinkali are Georgian dumplings filled with soup (similar to an xiao long bao if you've had those before). The Khachapuri is a boat-shaped bread with cheese, butter, and an egg. It's so yummy! Definitely big enough for sharing. For entrees, I was able to try a few different dishes, but my absolute favorite was the Kalmakhi! This grilled whole rainbow trout is stuffed with herbs and spices and is amazing! Sometimes when a whole fish is served, it can be difficult to remove the meat, but this one wasn't difficult at all. The inside stuffing was so tasty and really made this fish dish stand out! Highly recommend this and would definitely come back just to eat this rainbow trout! The Chicken Mtsvadi was pretty good, but a more standard dish of marinated chicken. Pork Chalaghaji ribs were also tasty. All entrees come with a dressed side salad. Many dishes are also topped with pomegranate seeds, which I thought was a great addition! Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience here. Get the Pkhali, Khachapuri, and Kalmakhi!

    ARE WE IN SILICON VALLEY? 4.5…read more One might never know this restaurant exists, tucked away near a Google business park just off Highway 101. You could stumble upon it through Yelp (as we did), discover it while staying at the adjacent Treehouse Hotel, or simply hear about it through word of mouth. The parking situation is an interesting one. After turning into the driveway from Mathilda Avenue, you have two options: turn right for valet parking or left into the Google parking lot. There are plenty of spaces available, though parking there is technically at your own risk. The restaurant told us they had not heard of anyone being ticketed or towed. We first dined here shortly after it opened in 2025 and were immediately impressed by the beautiful grounds. The hotel's eco-conscious gift shop, housed in a glass greenhouse and featuring a colorful vintage VW Bug, is a charming touch. The short walk to the restaurant feels especially relaxing on a warm, sunny day. This has become one of our favorite places to bring friends or host girls' lunches. With three distinct seating options: the dining room, bar, and patio, there's an atmosphere to suit just about any occasion, whether you're dining as a couple or gathering with a larger group. I would recommend visiting during lunch or dinner service and skipping the in-between hours. During that time, only the bar area is open and the menu is more limited. To fully experience what Valley Goat has to offer, lunch or dinner is the way to go. Despite the name, the only goat dish on the menu at the time of this review is the Goat Empanadas. My friend was initially hesitant to order them, but David, our wonderful server, and I encouraged her to give them a try. She was glad she did. There was no gamey flavor whatsoever; the meat tasted more like beef, and the accompanying sauce was excellent. Over several visits, we've enjoyed everything we've ordered and are delighted to have a restaurant of this caliber in our Bay Area backyard. Chef and co-owner Stephanie Izard, winner of Season 4 of Top Chef and an Iron Chef title, owns a total of nine restaurants, primarily in the Chicago area, along with locations in Los Angeles and one at Orlando International Airport. Since we enjoy traveling for great food, we'll definitely be adding some of her other restaurants to our list.

The service was quite slow throughout the evening. We ordered the goat empanadas, wood-fired Mary's chicken, sprouted cauliflower, eggplant, and sticky pork shank. What surprised me most was how similar everything tasted. From the appetizers to the main dishes, the flavors seemed repetitive and lacked distinction. Each dish looked appealing, but none really stood out. Overall, the food felt uninspired, and I didn't get the sense that much care had gone into developing unique flavors for the menu. Given the many 5-star reviews, I was expecting much more and left feeling disappointed. The ambiance is lovely, but I would not return for the food. Don't be misled by the photos, they were far more impressive than the actual dining experience.

    My family and I came to Gochi Japanese Fusion Tapas for Father's Day, and it ended up being such a…read moregreat choice. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and it was one of those meals where everyone at the table found something they loved. One dish I was surprisingly impressed by was the Ankimo (steamed monkfish liver in ponzu). I'll admit, the word liver immediately made me hesitant, and if they hadn't told me what it was, I probably would've been less nervous trying it. But I'm really glad I did because it was incredibly buttery, smooth, and rich. It almost melts in your mouth, and I honestly think it would pair perfectly with a bowl of steamed rice. We also ordered the Hiyayakko (cold tofu with ginger & scallions), which was a really refreshing starter. The tofu was silky smooth and delicate, and the ginger, scallions, and soy-based seasoning added just enough flavor without taking away from the freshness of the tofu. It was simple, but really well done. We also ordered the Salmon Mayo Yaki Onigiri. While it was good, I think this is the one dish I'd probably skip next time. The crispy grilled rice ball itself was delicious, but there just wasn't enough salmon mayo on top. It felt like I only got a tiny spoonful, so once that was gone, it was mostly just rice. Since my family couldn't decide, we ended up ordering all three clay pots: the Sake Oyako Meshi (grilled salmon & salmon roe), Unagi Meshi (BBQ freshwater eel), and Tori Soboro Meshi (braised ground chicken). Out of all of them, the Unagi Meshi was easily my favorite. The eel was tender, slightly smoky, and coated in a sweet-savory glaze that soaked into the rice underneath, making every bite incredibly satisfying. The clay pots also gave the rice a nice crispy layer on the bottom, which added even more texture. We also shared two of their signature pizzas: the Mentai Kinoko and the Nasu Curry. I wasn't expecting much since it's pizza at a Japanese restaurant, but they were honestly so good. The crust was paper-thin, crispy, and light, so it didn't leave you feeling heavy afterward. The Mentai Kinoko had a great balance of spicy cod roe, snow crab, mushrooms, bacon, and cheese, while the Nasu Curry had a rich curry flavor that paired surprisingly well with the eggplant and cheese. Both were huge hits with my family. The restaurant itself has a warm, traditional Japanese atmosphere that makes it feel cozy and inviting. The server was incredibly friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the menu and recommend dishes when we couldn't decide what to order. Their recommendations definitely did not disappoint. My whole family left happy, and it's one of those restaurants where I already know I'll be coming back to try even more of the menu.

The yuzu makes it more of a sour sauce than sweet. Nasu Buta Hasamiage fried eggplant in broth 4/5 this was perfectly fried and am interesting dish served in a light broth. Unagi claypot 4/5 it was delicious, but I wish they included a little more Unagi. The rice on the bottom was crispy and all the flavors were well blended. Green tea creme brulee 5/5 well balanced flavors, maybe could use a little more green tea flavor, the vanilla over powered it. But it was still very delicious. Service: 90 minutes of dining time, the menu is large so it took time to decide what to order and they don't have paper menus anymore which is a little hard to review the small font on the phone. I think they should go back to providing at least 1-2 real menus per table. It was very warm in the restaurant even though they said the AC was on. The food came out relatively fast, but there were some pauses between dishes. The claypot rice took the longest and I was almost full by the time it arrived. Ambiance: casual restaurant, authentic Japanese style where you have to remove your shoes and sit on mats. The restaurant filled up quickly by 7pm. We had a reservation for 6:15pm.

    Fish lovers rejoice!…read more Haven is located is small shopping area with probably 4 more business around. Parking is bit limited, but I was able to find parking a Saturday afternoon, since the other businesses did not have too much going on. Once you enter this space you will see a massive wall of tins to your right, and to your left there will a be a fridge with beer and other drinks. Also to your left a beautiful bar, that it's soft color palette will make you smile. We were greeted and helped by the owner. She used to work on HR and now she is following her passion. She is so friendly, and such a great host, that it almost felt like I was visiting a long term friend's business. Now the menu it's extensive with tins from Portugal, Spain, and many other places. Highly recommend that you consider making it a boards because the bread is so yummy. She made recommendations on wine pairings, but of course you pick. It was such a cool experience to pick tins, and chill by the bar. Super cool concept. If you are a fish lover this place is a must visit.

    We enjoyed our lunch experience at Haven, a wine bar located in the Menlo Park area…read more We shared: +a Tin Fish Board - served with pickled veggies, maldon salt, house chili oil, butter, chili threats, and a choice between country bread or potato chips - go for the bread; you get to choose your tin, so I recommend the IASA Spicy Anchovies in Olive Oil for a kick +the Bruleed Cana de Cabra - baguette with a French soft-ripened goat cheese and a raspberry-thyme gelee +and, the Mac & Cheese - prepared with mezzi rigatoni, house kimchi, 3 cheese mornay, and Parm breadcrumbs There is a nice drink menu, offering champagn, sparkling options, red/white/rose, beer, cider, spritz, and even low proof/non-alcoholic options. Staff and service were friendly, and the space is modern and clean. Try to get a counter seating! +wine and bites +friendly staff & service

    Ambiance: 5 stars Food: 2 stars…read moreService: 2 stars Wine selection: 3 stars The outdoor patio and live music are truly the highlights here. The setting is charming and relaxed, and the live music creates a calm, enjoyable atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and focus on the company you're with. From a purely ambiance standpoint, it's a beautiful spot. Beyond a fairly simple cheese plate, the dishes felt underwhelming and not particularly well prepared. Like many other reviews, staff are slow and not particularly attentive or warm. The wine list was fair and the bottle we enjoyed was pleasant. This feels like the kind of place you go for the atmosphere only. Where you go to sit outside, enjoy live music, and spend one-on-one time with someone you care about. If you come primarily for that and keep expectations low around food and service, you'll likely have a lovely time.

    Such a fun and charming spot in Palo Alto -- it's a house turned into a wine bar, which makes it…read morefeel extra special. There's adorable seating out front, beautiful indoor seating by the piano along with bar seating, and they even open up the back patio at 5:30 (with heaters). They offer happy hour from 4:30-5:30 (even on Saturdays) which is great. The whole place has a cozy, homey feel with a strong wine list and food that pairs really well. I tried the chipotle samosa, which was a fun twist on the classic Indian appetizer -- the chipotle sauce was surprisingly delicious with it. The cheese plate was also excellent with a red wine; there's nothing better than a sip of wine right after a bite of cheese. Their Gewürztraminer white wine also really stood out to me. It was a crowd favorite. Great staff and incredible ambiance -- I'd definitely come back for a group get-together or a date night.
