    I came to Causwells for brunch with a girlfriend and we loved it! I did not even know about the martini cart and it was soo fun to have our martinis made tableside. My favorite dish was the famous burger, it was so juicy and I loved the crispy onion strings it came with. Causwells is tucked in a residential apartment building and has free garage parking for 2 hours, and there are also lots of (paid) EV chargers available which is a plus. The interior is spacious and very swanky, and pretty quiet too. Would love to come back with my husband and toddler.

    Had a really nice dinner at Causwells. They open for dinner at 5pm, We arrived a little early and asked to be seated outside as the weather was beautiful. There's plenty of parking both on the street and in their garage. The service was excellent. Everyone was welcoming and attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal without overdoing it. We ordered the homemade ricotta, charred Brussels sprouts, and the octopus. Everything was delicious. The ricotta with the rosemary honey and lavash was a great starter, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly charred with lots of queso fresco, and the octopus was tender and full of flavor. Can't comment on the cocktails as we only opted for sodas. Definitely a place we'd come back to. The food and service were both excellent.

    Ambiance: casual Service: nice Food: Raw Oysters (6/$26)- comes with pink peppercorn mignonette and lemon, so fresh!! must order! Steak Tartare ($19)- you can taste the quality, love the crunch from the celery Braised Lamb Tagliatelle ($26)- was delicious! Tender lamb, packed with flavor, and the herb ricotta added a nice creamy touch! Drinks: Dirty Martini- flash chilled with liquid nitrogen, then crafted and poured tableside, one of my favorites here Baklava Old Fashioned ($18)- fig and olive oil infused bourbon with a salted pistachio honey. This was interesting in a good way

    This was a very cool drink - Deconstructed Pimms Cup. This I would go back for.

    We took my sister here for her birthday last night and arrived excited to try a new restaurant. Sadly, we left feeling very disappointed and would probably only return for drinks at the bar. The ambiance inside is beautiful, and we loved the bar area. We were seated outside, though, so unfortunately we weren't able to experience the martini cart, which was disappointing, as one of the main reasons we chose to come was specifically for that experience. Drinks - Deconstructed Pimms Cup was a hit! The martinis are tiny and not cheap. I had a dirty Shirley which was just meh. Food: Fried Chicken with Slaw - The menu should really specify that this is fried chicken wings, because that's what was served. I was expecting an actual fried chicken entrée with perhaps a breast and thigh. Instead, it was wings with no sauce, and the slaw was completely flavorless. Salmon - Cooked perfectly, but overall nothing particularly memorable or special. Prime Rib - The first plate arrived cold. Not just slightly cool but cold and the meat had an unappetizing grey color. We sent it back, and a replacement finally arrived after everyone else had already finished eating. It was hot the second time, but the color of the meat still looked off. And no creamy horseradish with prime rib? That was surprising. We ended up taking the $40 meal home for our dogs. Beignets - We ordered these for the birthday celebration, and they were actually delicious. However, after the prime rib situation, I thought it was in poor taste that they charged us for them. Service was fine overall, and the staff were friendly. I'm just really disappointed with the experience. We were deciding between coming here or going to my sister's favorite spot, Los Altos Grill, and ultimately chose to try something new. Unfortunately, it ended up being a big letdown. At about $100/pp I expect a lot more!

    We came here Saturday early afternoon and tried the brunch menu. We were able to be seated right away without a reservation. The outdoor table had plenty of room for our stroller. My husband and I enjoyed our cocktails (I believe mine was called the dilly dally). The charred oysters were lovely, though a bit pricey for 6. We also had the chilaquiles and the burger. The chilaquiles were good but a bit simple if you don't add on the extras. We added avocado, but the dish would feel more interesting with tomatoes, beans, meat, etc. The burger was also good, and we ordered it with the onion strings. Those strings were delicious! The burger itself was meaty. As a ketchup lover, I asked for some ketchup on the side to dip the burger into (the burger does not have ketchup on it otherwise). The ketchup was weirdly spicy. Overall it was a positive experience, but nothing truly exceptional. Cocktails and location were the highlights. Side note: Only one unisex bathroom stall for an entire restaurant, but it does have a surface to change a diaper.

    Frisco (The City) represent! - Andytown Coffee - Bare Bottles - Burma Love - Che Fico - Proper Food - Robin And, now...Causwells. Not sure if it's a coincidence but all the Springline businesses in Menlo Park are from the city. Anyhow, why should you go to Causwells in MP instead of The Marina? * For the area, they have a solid cocktail program AND there's a martini cart! Not only was my Pimms Cup ($18) gorgeous, it was hella stiff. As the ice slowly melts, it infuses the gin with cucumber, strawberry, and lemon flavors. * Larger food menu with MP exclusives (If you live in Springline and lounging poolside, you can have food and drinks delivered to you.) * Spacious, more vibey dining area perfect for your socials. Comfortable, shaded outdoor patio. * Plentiful, FREE parking (underground garage). For food, we ordered two of the SF mainstays: * Housemade Ricotta w/ lavash ($15): Ricotta needed salt to balance the sweetness of the honey. * The American Burger ($24) -- Upcharge for fries (+$3), avocado (+$3), and pickled jalapeño (+$2) The patty was overcooked and dry, lacking the juiciness you'd expect from a good burger. Sorry but after three tries, I still find Causwells' burger mid and overhyped for the price point. We also ordered a new dish: Breakfast Jambalaya w/ chicken and sausage ($19) - it was boring and underwhelming, lacking the bold spices and seasoning you'd expect from a jambalaya. It felt like a missed opportunity to create something more creative like omurice or tornado egg to tie in with their AZN inspired cocktails. I wouldn't return for the food but the cocktails? Hell yas! P.S. - 4% surcharge added to all bills

    Cheeseburger w onion crisps, eh

    I saw a reel on this place which really made me excited to go, but I feel like my overall experience was super blah and underwhelming. I came on Easter Sunday, I had made reservations but came early and they were able to seat us right away. There was hardly anyone in here on a Sunday afternoon. Drinks took a while to order and overall service was kinda slow for the amount of people in here. I got the espresso martini which was average, nothing grabbing me to really want it again even with the coconut cream foam on top. My friend got a drink from the bar cart and really nothing too special I felt like it could've been made at the regular bar. The caviar was eh, I felt like bread needed to be with it. We asked two different people (one I feel like was the manager and semi brushed off explanation of what the dish was) and the waitress just hit us with a "no" and walked away when we asked about bread lol. Also there was minimal caviar in it. The burger was really good but the onion crisps seemed odd eating like they were just so thin, more like a topping than a side. My friend wanted the French dip but they didn't have it today. She got the chicken sandwich cut in half and I felt like the half I got barely had any chicken. Super small thin chicken for the sandwich. Overall the ambiance is so incredible but the food really didn't hit. Reminded me of poolside food, I think the the fries are frozen. The table next to us got the pancakes and in my head I thought they were gonna be super fluffy ricotta pancakes like the description, but they looked like the opposite. I don't know if it was an off day or bc it was a holiday, but it just missed the mark and I'm not planning to come back which is sad bc I thought I was gonna love it.

    Good space with good service. Drinks were fun & food was pretty good. I'll definitely be back. - dilly daily cocktail: loved it. Fun, refreshing and not too sweet. - ricotta cheese: so yum - crispy mushrooms: looked a bit odd but were tasty. - beet salad: more of a pretty plate than a really salad but really enjoyed it. - octopus: good flavor, well cooked and good sides.

    Cute spot it used to be Tapas and so far drinks and food were good. I forgot to take a photo of the Ribeye French Dip & Onion Shoestrings, Caesar Salad, Beignets w/ Salted Caramel & a Latte and they were all yummy. We ordered Ube Milk Punch so didn't get the Martini cart show. Service was good but they couldn't figure out the Inkind payment. FYI, free parking in the Garage for 2 hours.

I ordered take out from a very friendly and nice Asian lady, but she had a very thick accent. I only mentioned the accent because I guess she didn't comprehend what I was saying. I wanted to ordered scrambled eggs on my Salmon Benedict, so my 3 year old niece and 1 year old nephew could share and eat the same things as my Aunt (their Grandma) and I were going to eat. I looked over the receipt and saw I was charged $7 for scrambled eggs! At least within my take out bag, was also the two poached eggs, so my Aunt ate those, but I didn't want the poached eggs, I merely wanted scrambled eggs on top of my egged Benedict. This way my niece and nephew could eat them, too. Ugh- oh well, we got extra eggs for tomorrow or another meal! Hee. Overall my smoked salmon was mouthwatering delicious! My niece LOVED her mini mouse pancakes! My Aunt loved her Frisco scramble and everything was fine, minus me getting charged $7 for a "side" of scrambled eggs I didn't realize I was ordering.....

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.

Parking is plentiful on surface streets and surface lots surrounding the restaurant. Dining is available both indoors or on the patio outdoors. Service by the uniformed waiter was fine throughout the evening. Started off with the cornbread and it was ok. The cornbread seems to have been baked and kept in the warmer as it was starting to dry out. The dry aged NY steak was requested medium rare and turned out more like a medium well after sitting on the table for a bit... The NY Steak had a robust meaty flavor. The side of potatoes and char were great. The campanelle pasta was tasty although the pasta may have been a touch over-cooked as the pasta was no longer al dente. There were plenty of mushrooms. The mushroom side dish was rich and rather heavy. The highlight of the evening was the milk jam pudding which was a lighter way to finish off a rather heavy and bold-flavored dinner. ~$110/head after tax and gratuity.

The service is great here; they even took a napkin that was hung on my chair and folded it neatly onto the table again. I wish the portion sizes were bigger here overall, when you share with four people you're only getting like a bite each and for the prices even though it's a fancier place I'd expect to get a litttleee more (i've seen other fancy places have bigger sizes)

Only after escalating it were we finally served. We did not get our food until well after 2:30pm, over 40 min of waiting. When the food arrived, the Italian Benedict was cold. The hollandaise sauce was also starting to curd and become chunky, a sign that it had been out for a while. How could the food be cold after waiting over 40 min! The ciabatta underneath was overly burnt. Everything else was below average, especially for a restaurant of this stature. The NM Cafe in Neman Marcus is a much better brunch experience.
