    As a lover of all things golf course food, Birdies is a hole in one! Elevated bar food, meets the golf course. You'll find classics like burgers, tuna melts, club sandwiches, and even pimento cheese dip (which is delicious). For our mains we split a club sandwich ($15.95) and a tuna melt ($18.95). As you can tell by the photos, they don't skimp on anything. It's really enough food for two meals, and the fries and onion rings, we crushed them while they are hot. All the ingredients tasted super fresh, the bread was perfectly crunchy on both sandwiches. I think for the quality and amount of food you get, the pricing is really reasonable, especially in Palo Alto. For drinks we went with the espresso martinis, and they were delightful and reasonable priced at $13.95. Located at the Stanford golf course, this definitely a hidden spot. If you know, you know. If you enjoy elevated bar food or golf course food in general, it's worth checking out!

    This place is a hidden gem. The happy hour is fantastic and the manager "Monica" is 100% all about customer service. The setting is so nice, the food is great, it is peaceful and like a five star hideout. This was the best find. You are not going to believe how big the order of Nacho's is, it is huge! Please do yourself a favor and enjoy Birdie's.

    The last two Fridays we have found ourselves at this lovely escape ! We usually get there around for cocktail hour on a Friday Last Friday John made me a wonderful old fashioned And the carne quesadilla were delicious Today we enjoyed a quieter time sitting there outside in the most pleasant surroundings of the 18th hole and beautiful oaks My husband and I were rather surprised to see we had the outside dining area to ourselves I would suggest some nice guitar music to go with the beautiful oak tree surroundings But for now we are most happy with the friendly service especially from sorry I forgot her name ( begins with an M) and Natalie who came outside and we enjoyed her friendly conversation I'm sure my husband and I shall enjoy rendezvous'in to Birdies each Friday Cheers!

    I love Birdie's! I have eaten here several times now; the food is always delicious and service always prompt and friendly. Ambiance is lovely-- classy yet casual, inviting and vibrant. Lots of great appetizers-- the spinach and artichoke dip is a highlight, as well as the guacamole and pimento cheese dips. Breakfast burrito is very tasty and perfect to take on the course. The Big Cheeseburger is one of the best I've had, cooked to order with delicious seeded roll. The Birdie Burger was also good but the Big Cheeseburger for only $5 more is definitely worth it. Great selection of cocktails, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages. The menu is quite large and diverse, so there is a lot I'm looking forward to trying in the future.

    I really wanted to like this new restaurant. I found it bland and the menu is pretty generic with the usuals like club sandwich, burger, and plain salads where you have to add on $5 for protein on top of the $15 for the salad. The fontina cheese was really good in the spinach artichoke dip. But the chips were hard and cold, I would have thought they would freshly fry them and come out hot and crispy. The grilled vegetables were good but the onions were cut inconsistently and cooked differently. Very few vegetarian options. Please consider adding a grown up grilled cheese, a farmers market salad (instead of the usual chopped salad and caesar), and a tomato soup - they had carrot cream for the soup of the day which sounded so sweet. No one came to greet us when we walked in - we had to find the server. Then we asked to order but had to wait again. It feels like their servers aren't trained well on the specials, seating people as they walk in, and bringing the check (we just sat there until we could flag someone down). The views are amazing and it's a really nice spot.

    Wide variety of libations

    I'm thrilled that the Stanford Golf Course once again has a restaurant on site, and BIRDIE's is a delight! Two rooms to choose from: brightly lit inside along windows, or bar area with high tops. I think there is patio seating out back. Service is attentive, and the food is delicious! Chef Jeremy clearly cares about his dishes and everything I have had over three visits has been beautifully presented and tasty. The kitchen is also amenable to tailoring a dish to your preferences. I converted a blackened salmon sandwich to a salad, for instance, and it was gorgeous! The breakfast burrito features a delicious sausage. The Big Cheeseburger is available with gruyère (yay!), and is, I think, a better bet than the smaller " Birdie burger" (we tried both). Grilled Chicken sandwich was good, though I preferred the burger. The Clam Chowder was subtle, hot, and creamy, a real treat! Fries are yummy: not too thin, not too thick, and not too salty. They also offer Moët et Chandon sparkling rosé splits (187 mL) and the flutes have a thin edge, making for an elegant experience. Food can be prepared to go, e.g., to enjoy on the course, but golfing is not required. I encourage non-golfers to try it out! The views are gorgeous, the bar is well stocked, the food is tasty, and you can enjoy some historic photos as well (check out Tiger Woods and Rose Zhang each playing for the Cardinal!).

    Nachos and watermelon margarita.

    Good spot to eat outside and enjoy the view! Nachos were delicious and also massive! Watermelon marg was delicious

Definitely worth getting the umami fries as they were seasoned to perfection. A perfect starting side! Horsefeather is a perfect brunch spot to stop by and try in this Old Town and Country Palo Alto plaza. I have never heard of this chain nor in their other locations before and was definitely satisfied afterwards with their great dishes and their aesthetically modern decorated interior. The dishes here are American so you'd get what you typically get for breakfast from scrambles to French Toast, and we ordered the French Toast, the Chicken and Waffles, and a Salad during our visit here. All of what was ordered was perfect and beautifully plated upon arrival and out of all that was ordered, I have to say the chicken and waffles with their matcha butter & syrup was their standout dish. I have never seen matcha infused with butter but it was perfect and complimented the waffle just right. The chicken was fried and juicy inside and the waffle in general was toasted with just the right amount of crisp on the outside and soft interior. French Toast was a definite close contender too, where the toast was still gooey soft as expected and served with syrup & cream on the side. Salad was good but nothing too extraordinary about it. The staff here were all very nice and on a busy lunch day, I was surprised & pretty sure just lucky was able to get a table in less than 10 min on a Sunday. For weekend brunch, Horsefeather is a perfect spot to visit & enjoy the pre-afternoon before enjoying Palo Alto. I would highly recommend checking this place out and will definitely be back for more.

Our favorites were the kimchi deviled eggs, the miso linguini pasta, and the yuzu dessert. One thing I did notice was the seating arrangement. I had seen another Yelp review mentioning that they were seated right next to another party despite the restaurant being mostly empty, and we had a similar experience. Even with plenty of open tables, we were seated directly beside another group, making it easy to hear each other's conversations. It wasn't a huge issue, but a little more spacing would have made the dining experience feel more comfortable. Overall, the food and service were great.

While the food was good, nothing truly stood out or impressed me considering the cost. At this price point, I expected a more refined and memorable experience. Although I was dining at a high-end restaurant, I never felt like I was being treated as if I were. The rushed pace meant we finished our entire meal in about an hour, which is not the relaxed fine dining experience I was expecting.

After checking in, we were informed that the entire party had to be present before we could be seated. While waiting, I ordered a drink at the bar and enjoyed the beautiful rooftop terrace. The deep cushioned seating, combined with views of Stanford University, the Woodside hills, and the surrounding skyline, created a memorable setting for a special occasion. The dining room is airy, elegant, and thoughtfully designed. The glass roof allows plenty of natural light without the harsh glare, making the space comfortable and inviting. The menu is fairly straightforward and not particularly unique, though prices are definitely premium. Sandwiches range from about $24 to $58, and the mini lobster or crab rolls are $20 each. For our group of five, we ordered three lobster rolls, lamb chops, two Caesar salads, two orders of oysters, honey-glazed salmon, sweet potatoes, truffle fries, a gem salad, and several drinks and glasses of wine. Unfortunately, neither the kitchen nor the table service lived up to expectations. Our starters arrived, followed by most of the entrees, but the kitchen completely forgot both Caesar salads. We asked about them twice. By the time they finally arrived, the salads were soggy and lacked the freshness you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. RH Rooftop delivers a stunning setting and is an undeniably beautiful place for a celebration. However, for a restaurant positioned as a luxury dining experience, I expected the food and service to match the spectacular surroundings. While everything looked impressive, the meal itself felt average and the service lacked the attention to detail expected at this price point. In the end, I left feeling that I had paid for the atmosphere rather than the dining experience.
