We came on a Sunday around 10:30am. For two people there was barely any wait to order. We ordered:…read more Frozen mocha Fresh squeezed orange juice Half order French toast Scramble of some kind Egg and potato wrap Plenty of seating and I love the good vibes and food tastes amazing. The food did take quite a while to come out though. $80+ after tip. My husband and I agreed that we are happy we tried it however we think we can get better brunch for the price point. I understand it's a little more expensive because of this area. our favorite thing was the French toast. If we do come back, I think we will get just the French toast and drinks.

A charming spot with a laid-back atmosphere and delicious food . We grabbed an al fresco table by…read morethe fountain on a warm Sunday afternoon, and it made for the perfect setting to catch up over brunch with friends. The burrata with peaches was an easy choice. Crisp, toasted crostini slices paired beautifully with the silky, creamy burrata, while the peaches added a pleasant touch of tangy sweetness. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and fresh microgreens, every bite was well balanced. The beet salad was just as good. Generous chunks of roasted beets were accompanied by grapefruit, shaved fennel, and creamy avocado, all tossed in a bright, refreshing vinaigrette. The tangy goat cheese tied everything together perfectly. As if that weren't enough, I also ordered the Basil Melt. Layered with organic heirloom tomatoes, fresh organic basil, creamy mozzarella, and thyme aioli on an Acme baguette, it delivered fresh, vibrant flavors in every bite. Simple ingredients done right. To finish, I treated myself to their affogato, topped with house-made whipped cream. Rich, creamy, and wonderfully indulgent, it was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. The only miss for me was the almond croissant. While I appreciated the generous topping of toasted sliced almonds, the house-made almond filling didn't quite deliver the rich, buttery flavor I was hoping for. Service was warm and welcoming from start to finish. The staff happily helped photograph our party of four, which was a thoughtful touch that added to an already enjoyable brunch experience. Overall, this is a wonderful neighborhood café with excellent savory dishes, and fantastic coffee drinks.

4.5 I love…read moreSingaporean breakfast! So when I found out they were trying out the breakfast menu for this weekend, I had to check it out. From what I read, they were originally at a dif location, but moved to this new spot. There is a parking lot. The place was spacious, good amount of seating, and very green/lots of plants. Felt cozy. I got the kaya toast set, beef rendang nasilemak set and the curry puffs. You can pick either kopi or teh for the sets. I got one of each to try, they were strongggg, and not very sweet. Personally, I would've liked it to be a little sweeter. Aside from that, everything was presented nicely, good flavor, and good portions. The meal was comforting! I got there almost 12 and it wasn't very busy, but got quite busy by the time we left. Since they were busy, it took awhile to get attention/get the bill. I hope they decide to continue serving the breakfast menu and maybe add a few more items too as there aren't that many places that serve this in the area :)

The restaurant moves to new location. I visit this restaurant during lunch time. This new location…read morerecently opened. I came here as I keep seeing post on social media specially it's lunch menu. The restaurant has simple design with plenty of table system. We ordered chicken rice, laksa, roti, char kwe thaw, crispy tofu, kopi peng and kopi o. The fod was ready pretty quickly. Now about the food. I am a bit dissapointed. I was excited when we decided to come and have lunch but all are considered average. One thing that surprised me but it was explained by the may be owner was about Char Kwe Tiaw. At all the places I have this, it is cooked and comes with pork lard and at this restaurant it was not because the owner want it to be available for everyone. For me the missing part is flavor of each dish. The Laksa soup is good but it is at the light side. The char Kwe Tiaw a bit at the sweet side. The chicken rice is ok. Roti is ok. Crispy tofu come with sweet sauce. Kopi is good. If you have visited other Singaporean restaurant before you can tell the different.

We serendipitously stumbled across Clark's and honestly the original reason we stopped was because…read morethey had a patio and we had our dog. So glad we had our dog that day. We've since been back at least five times. Service is always impeccable, like seriously- no notes perfect service. I love the vibe, not fussy, but details matter- Heath Ceramics, Le Creuset pots for cioppino, heavy silverware, substantial napkins- everything feels easy but the details let you know they pay attention. We always start with the Vesper martini, their entire cocktail and wine service is impressive, but the Vesper hits. Homemade sourdough starts every meal, supposedly the starter has been the same for years, I mean this is the Bay Area, we know sourdough, and no complaints. Oysters of course, very fresh, great selection, not just the basic kumotos you find at most places, really unique finds. As far as the food, we've never had anything we didn't like, typically we lean towards seafood and salads, but we've also had the burger and the BLT. One other note, my step-daughter just got off the plane from NYC and the first place she wanted to go was Clark's for a cup of their clam chowder- it's that good. I live in the East Bay and I will happily drive to the Peninsula to eat here.

Clark's is my new favorite restaurant as a lover of sourdough and seafood. It reminds me of the…read morelate Fish Markets but dishes with more of a creative touch and a higher caliber of ingredients The sourdough offering here is housemade and keeps coming as you wish. The Catch of the Day is constantly changing. The Barramundi and Branzino were delicious. The seafood crudo is a must every time. I love raw fish and the flavors in the assortment of fresh fish are of simple lemon, oil and caper flavors. I yearn for the crudo if I haven't had my fix in a bit! The shellfish here is also damn good. That clam linguine is a guilty pleasure. It's got just the right amount of cream in it leaving the sauce light and nuanced with harmonious flavors. The mussels and clams go perfect with the grilled sourdough for dipping in the broth. Ask for the spicy oil. Omg I want to put it in everything! I never order crab cakes. Because they're usually breaded up with the actual crab meat taking a back seat but not at Clark's! It's all tasty crab meat with almost no casing if any. I only order crab cakes here. If you crave dessert, this is the place also. I'm not a huge dessert person, but I enjoy their sweet treats. Sometimes they have special desserts also like that berry cheesecake. There is a great selection of wines here, and Wine Wednesday bottles are half off. I took my mommy here for Mother's Day. She loved it. Clark's is of exceptional quality, and I can't wait to get my next fix in my favorite seafood restaurant! Excellent, beautifully made fresh food, impeccable service, fun atmosphere and reasonable prices.

I finally had some free time this afternoon. I picked up the kouign amann, Paris Brest and the lemon tart from Barbara that were set aside for me. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth in the kouign amann and its laminated buttery layers with a hint of sweetness was perfect! You've made my day! It was airy and light. I'm waiting to share the other sweet treats with my parents later this evening. Thank you for surprising me with the lemon choice. Barbara - it was really wonderful to meet you! Service with a smile and happy to chat for a bit about Brazil! Muito obrigada! Daniel - you've been simply amazing! I can't thank you enough for being so gracious and kind. I actually like this store location over the Palo Alto store. Downtown Menlo Park is so very lucky to have you! I'll definitely come back here next time!

HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS!!!…read more I am writing this review to both warn other customers and so that management sees this. I was at the MP location earlier this week and saw not one but TWO health code violations committed by employees. First, one of the ladies was drinking out of an open cup at the front where the food and beverages are prepared. This is against the health code! 113977. (a) Except as specified in subdivision (b), an employee shall eat or drink only in designated areas where contamination of nonprepackaged food; clean equipment, utensils, and linens; unwrapped single-use articles; or other items needing protection cannot result. (b) A food employee may drink from a closed beverage container if the container is handled to prevent contamination of the employee's hands, the container, nonprepackaged food, and food-contact surfaces. The employee (brown hair in a ponytail, wearing grey Adidas) was frequently drinking a pink drink from a clear open cup behind the counter where the pastries are! Also, I saw the male employee behind the counter sneeze and use his bare hand to cover his sneeze. He rubbed his nose and sniffed. I was watching him from my table to make sure that he washed his hands. He went over to the sink behind the cash register and I kid you not, he turned on the water and for literally ONE SECOND put his hands under it. He then wiped his hands together to dry them. HE DID NOT USE SOAP TO WASH HIS HANDS AFTER SNEEZING INTO THEM!!!! Article 4. Handwashing 113953.3. (a) (2) After touching bare human body parts other than clean hands and clean, exposed portions of arms. (5) After coughing, sneezing, using a handkerchief or disposable tissue, using tobacco, eating, or drinking. He then went back to work grabbing customers' pastries. I'd really love for management to please have a word with staff/review training and protocols - please don't respond to this review with the canned "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have addressed this with our staff and we will take your comments into consideration." Please actually DO SOMETHING and ensure that all of your staff follow proper health code laws! Thank you!! :D

Wow this place was so good. Expensive, but really tasty. Decor was upscale with different shades of…read morecream. The service was upscale as well -- people constantly filling your water, folding your napkin when you get up, etc. The sun hits the restaurant later in the day and they have curtains pulled so the tables not directly in front of the door were a little dark but adds to the mood. A little snug between the 2 person tables (I was trying hard not to hit the table next to us when I got up to go to the bathroom lol). Located in Menlo Park downtown, there's a parking lot in the back but we managed to snag a spot right in front of the restaurant! Recommend making a reservation (they fill up quick) though my friend was able to grab a seat at the bar during peak time before. - Scallion croissant: OUR FAVORITE. So good that we ordered another one as our "dessert" lol. Soft pull-apart bread with perfectly crisped outside, so buttery and tasty, we asked them if we could just order this takeout in the future but they said no just dine in only hahaha. - Wagyu beef tartare tartlet: really tasty, bite-sized, and full of flavor - Hokkaido sea urchin: really good but honestly it's nothing that special, it's as delicious as you would expect of a high quality uni toast - Salt & pepper coonstripe shrimp: yum, so good, just the right amount of fried-ness - Lu rou lasagna: unique and very tasty, less heavy than traditional lasagna which is ideal - Amberjack: good and refreshing but not that much flavor, wouldn't get again - Wagyu kalbi: good but as you would expect of good wagyu kalbi - Pork collar: good but fattier if you like that - Crispy anchovy rice: our favorite right after scallion croissant, loved the crispiness of the anchovies, lots of flavor

A fun Taiwanese-Korean fusion spot we've been wanting to try and now that I've been here twice over…read morethe last few months, it's time to share! Plan ahead and make a reservation: if you plan a few weeks out, you should be able to make a reservation at a time of your choosing. If you don't mind eating at later hours, you might be able to grab a reservation ~a week out (aside from major holidays). The vibe and service here is upscale comfort, a perfect spot for date night, or dining with an intimate group of friends. Parking is easy to find on the street or in the lot behind the restaurant. The top dishes I enjoyed across the two visits: 1) Must-try: Scallion croissant, rou song butter - yummy (subtle) flavors and delicious textures 2) Both the small bites were yummy, including the chicken liver w/pineapple & cilantro, and wagyu beef tartare tartlet w/smoked soy. 3) If you like wagyu / beef, get the Wagyu Kalbi & Banchan and don't forget the Ssam side order. Sure, it's a bit pricey but worth it. I love my greens and begrudgingly ordered a Ssam side order to go with the Wagyu Kalbi. It just feels like the Ssam should come with the Kalbi dish, y'know? But I was very glad I ordered the Ssam. It comes with several sets of carefully curated and washed/dried leaves (3 types) and they were perfect with the Wagyu Kalbi. 4) Lu Rou Lasagna was unique and yummy too. I would definitely return to Yeobo Darling - for special occasions, or when we feel like treating ourselves to some Taiwanese-Korean fusion fare.
