    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful location and ambiance in the upstairs rooftop![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came for a date night dinner, they seated us in a table in the middle of the restaurant. Out of the food, the carpaccio and artichokes were the highlight. My fiancee was also a big fan of the banana split dessert! Easy parking lot right outside. Totally worth it for a splurge date night or a celebration meal!

    Chicken salad

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The views from this rooftop are absolutely stunning and it's a great spot to people watch (and maybe occasionally see a celebrity).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bottle of wine we got was delicious and our appetizers were also so good especially the burrata and the crispy veggies. Our server was so nice and brought great recommendations. The apps were better than our mains so I would absolutely come back for drinks and snacks!

    Potato puree

    This place was such a pleasant surprise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bottom floor is filled with beautiful, high end furniture and decor, so walking through feels more like visiting a luxury, upscale ikea showroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But once you get upstairs the food completely steals the show. We came here for our anniversary without any real expectations for the food. Honestly, we thought the atmosphere would be the highlight. We were wrong! The food absolutely blew us away. We ordered the bluefin toro caviar carpaccio, the grilled shrimp & veggie salad, and the whole French roasted chicken with a side of potato puree. Everything was delicious, but the shrimp salad was easily my favorite dish of the night. I'm still thinking about that salad as I'm writing this. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, the grilled vegetables were flavorful, and everything came together so well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was also fantastic. Each table had its own chandelier, which made the space feel elegant and special. It felt fancy without being overly formal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was attentive, the setting was beautiful, and the food exceeded every expectation we had. What started as a dinner reservation for our anniversary turned into one of the most memorable meals we've had in a long time. We'll definitely be back and yes I'll be ordering that shrimp salad again!

    28 years and celebrated at the RH Rooftop in Palo Alto. :)

    Wonderful ambiance, nice patrons and staff (they graciously took our picture as it was our anniversary). Our first experience there. Note: wanted to tag location on social media but Palo Alto RH did not come up (but other RH Rooftop locations did (?))

    Decor is very nice, host at the top floor totally useless and not helpful at all. Not everyone knows how everything works. I felt extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable. The staff did not seem like they liked their jobs or wanted to be there. I left after 10 mins of being not directed anywhere on the roof top. Yes, I didn't have rsvp but I've also never been to the establishment so I had no idea where to go. When I asked the staff where is the bar, they mumbled something about the Terrance and gave me a dirty stare, like I'm new here? Yes, I am. So yeah.. please work on how you treat people. Thank you

    After dropping off Chase at UNIVERSAL PET HOSPITAL for his leg surgery the morning of Sunday, March 22, 2026, we decided to go out for breakfast or brunch. Mom recommended RH, THE ROOFTOP RESTAURANT at RH PALO ALTO. She called the restaurant and was able to book a 10 AM reservation for three. Located at the Stanford Shopping Center, we were able to easily and quickly find parking in the spacious lot. We arrived a little early, so walked around the Restoration Hardware showroom for a bit before walking up the stairs to the upscale restaurant perched on the third floor. The mansard space, with its floor to ceiling glass walls and roof, emulates a giant dazzling sunroom with trees growing out of the floor and elegant glass chandeliers hanging above nearly every table. The modern fountain and airy ambiance provide a relaxing setting for a nice meal while soaking in the glam surroundings and sunshine or admiring the beautiful sunsets. Outdoor seating is also available in their wraparound patio with comfy couches. RH PALO ALTO offers elevated American eats, plus beer, wine, and cocktails. The menu leans into opulent, fancified takes on classics, serving decadent dishes like CAVIAR CARPACCIOS (ranging from $18 to $28) and other CAVIAR SPECIALTIES such as GRILLED AVOCADO WITH CAVIAR ($38) and IMPOSSIBLY THIN HOUSEMADE CHIPS & DIP (15g $55, 30g $95). Below are what we ordered: LOBSTER ROLL ($36) - Z found this to be very good, I thought it was meh. The lobster could have used a bigger Dash of Mayo. On the small side. SWEDISH PANCAKES ($18) with fresh strawberries (for an extra charge) - I was disappointed that these pancakes were not served with the traditional lingonberry butter. These were not even warm enough to melt the slices of butter that topped them. KING CRAB ROLL ($58) - Also a petite serving, but this sandwich was tastier than the lobster version. Z said that it was very good, just like the lobster. HERITAGE PORK SAUSAGE ($12) - Flavourful; however, served cold. TRUFFLE FRIES ($20) - Fried to a perfectly golden crisp. RH BELLINI ($18) - Kudos to RH for serving an authentic bellini with genuine peach purée. This cocktail was yummy. Supposedly the BELGIAN WAFFLE was so remarkable to draw Mom back multiple times. Unfortunately, we were told that that they were no longer serving waffles. Mom was very disappointed by this. To boot, service was nothing to rave about. It seemed to be a bit challenging to catch the attention of our waitress to inform her that all of our dishes were served cold. When we finally got the chance to tell her, she didn't say much and appeared to leave us hanging. Later, the manager on duty came to speak with us, replaced most of the cold dishes, and comped an item. Still, this did not remedy Mom's dismay. She said that she will not return.

    Such a beautifully bougie spot! It's the perfect destination for a lunch date or a girls get together. It's located on the top floor with a luxury hotel feel, and with the patio doors open, the space was wonderfully bright and airy. The interior is sophisticated, and the service is detail oriented and welcoming. We ordered the RH burger, lobster roll, fries, butterscotch brulee, and a cappuccino. The lobster roll was a bit small for the price, and while the burger was tasty, it was a little salty for my taste. However, the cappuccino was fantastic, and the overall food was good just be prepared for a pricey bill

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]To walk into RH was transformative. The Palo Alto location is already nestled into what can only be described as beautiful land, this restaurant is like a world of its own.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]RH rooftop is located on the 3rd floor of the establishment and honestly it felt like I was dining in another country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was top tier, menu choices were vast and the food itself was umami in flavor. Not only will I now have to visit the other locations but I'd highly recommend RH for any celebration or personal needs aka just because.

    Caviar and potato chips, Blackberry Mocktail and a Spritz to start
    Christine V.

    I can see why RH Rooftop Restaurant has such mixed reviews but after finally visiting for lunch, I'm really glad we gave it a chance. I had been hesitant to come because of what I had read, but one of my girlfriends suggested we make a reservation and try it for ourselves. Even with reservations there was still a bit of a wait to be seated, but honestly we didn't mind at all. Walking through the space and browsing the beautiful furniture displays made the time pass quickly and added to the overall experience. Where things slowed down a bit was with the service. From placing our order to receiving the food, everything took longer than expected. It wasn't terrible, but it's definitely something to keep in mind if you're on a tight schedule. That said, the food absolutely delivered. We started with the caviar and potato chips, which felt indulgent and fun to share. For lunch we both ordered the lobster roll, and it was spectacular fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I ordered the blackberry mocktail while my friend had the spritz, and both drinks were refreshing and paired nicely with the meal. The real standout, though, was dessert. We ordered the banana split-style brûlée dessert (I wish I remembered the exact name), and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. The textures and sweetness were perfectly balanced and it was the ideal way to end our lunch. Overall, I would absolutely come back and would recommend it just make sure you have a little extra time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.

    This place lives up to the rave reviews! Came here with a group and we had an absolutely magical evening! Of course, this place gets very crowded, even during weekdays. So be sure and make reservation. I had to actually increase the number of people in our reservation and I was so happy that they were able to accommodate us! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Of course, the decor is stunning and gorgeous.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sometimes, the food can be not quite as impressive. That is not the case here! Service was extremely professional and friendly. And the food was delicious! Highlights are the lobster sliders with caviar. Also we loved the steak, salmon, salad, baked potato with caviar. Do not miss the chocolate chip cookies for dessert, absolutely amazing!

    Branzino, gem salad, truffle fries, and ribeye
    Catherine D.

    I went to RH Rooftop after seeing so many videos about how great it was online, and while I do have to say the restaurant was quite pretty and our server was so sweet, nothing really stood out to me otherwise. I didn't love the starters, which were the prosciutto board and the caviar blinis. I found the meat and cheese board to be pretty lackluster and would definitely recommend people to just skip if they're contemplating it. The caviar blinis were very light but truly didn't stand out to me either. However, my boyfriend loved them so maybe try if you're into a light, airy starter. I did enjoy the branzino because of the nice lemon flavor, but I do think it could have used more lemon and a tiny bit of salt. The salad was tasty, and if you lots of onions in your salad then I would recommend. Steak and fries were fine as well. Overall, the food was decent but nothing really stood out to me, and for the price, I've definitely had better. Probably wouldn't go again but I did want to give a special shoutout to our server (can't remember her name). She was the sweetest and really accommodating. She also gave us some chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream on-the-house after we told her it was our anniversary!

    This RH Rooftop Restaurant has become one of our favorite places to go for brunch in the Bay Area. It's located on the outskirts of the Stanford Shopping Center. There are free parkings everywhere. Highly recommend you go early and make reservations in advance. The restaurant as well as the shopping center tend to fill up really fast, especially in the weekends. Do not be surprised if you walk in a furniture store. Simply take the elevator to the 3rd floor and you'll reach the rooftop restaurant. The cute glass ceiling and indoor greenery bring the outside in and you'll feel a sense of openness and freedom. The ambience was a win already for us. We were quickly checked in and led to our table. The staff who would be taking our order was busy chatting up the next table. When he got to us, he showed a different attitude. Instead of chatty chitty and chirpy attitude, he was matter-of-fact-ly despite us smiling at him. The staff who brought us food were considerate though. However, the staff who took our order returned at the end to take our plates away. He startled my sister a bit by not asking and just took her plate away. Other than this tiny uneasy experience, our food and drinks were great. We both order Italian Benedict's and believe it was the best item on the menu. It was made to perfection and the portion was so perfect. Otherwise, we totally enjoyed the ambience and the food, minus a tiny interesting experience. We ended leaving a big tip though. Our parents work in the service industry and we understand the importance of leaving nice tips. However, service could have been a bit better :)

    Burrata and Grilled Shrimp
    Deka S.

    We went there on a Monday late afternoon lunch. We had reservation but on a Monday, the restaurant was pretty empty unlike on a weekend. Their food options are almost all at $$ price. But they do have some good food options. Their chicken dishes are my favorite. There is unfortunately less options for Vegans. Their beer is very good. So is most of their wines. This restaurant is more of a date-night kind of place and not so much of a family friendly place, especially with young kids. The staff is friendly and the ambience is top class. This place definitely checks out for their good vibes but not so much for the food.

    Ask the Community - RH Rooftop Restaurant at RH Palo Alto

    Is the ribeye served with any sauce? If not, can one ask for some (like A1 steak sauce)?

    I don't eat meat - but I do know they have many sauces you can order on the side. So I assume they would have something to your liking.

    Do you have a happy hour menu?

    No Happy Hour. See Dinner Menu

    Is the Chinese Chicken Salad was ordered without Chicken would it then be vegan? IN other words is the dressing used on that salad already vegan?…

    Is this restaurant baby or kid friendly?

    I would say no. It's very loud.

    How much is corkage fee for wine?

    $20

    Dairy allergy here. Does the charred rib eye use dairy like butter?

    What is the dress code?

    I don't think they have a specific dress code but it is a pretty fancy restaurant so I would dress accordingly; casual or dressy casual, jeans and nice top. No flip flops or super casual tanks. Hope that helps.

    Any vegan or vegetarian options?

    They do not have any vegetarian entrees but they do have veggie starters, salads, and side dishes: crispy artichokes, burrata cheese, gem & arugula salads, truffle fries, grilled veggies, whipped potatoes, etc.

    Is this business dog friendly?

    The RH restaurant is an upscale restaurant without an outdoor patio, and it appeared they do not allow dogs inside.

    Do they take walk ins? Or just reservation's?

    The RH Restaurant does accept walk-ins, but due to its popularity, reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak dining times like weekends and evenings. Walk-in availability may depend on the day and time, so calling ahead to check on…

    Is this restaurant dog friendly?

Cafe Vivant has a new chef, formerly from Oxalis, a 1 Michelin star in Brooklyn. Parking is plentiful and easy around the restaurant. Made a reservation for dinner and my table was ready upon arrival. Dining is available inside the luxurious dining room, outdoors, or at the fancy bar. Staff throughout the evening were fantastic. Started off with the dungeness crab crepe which was ok. The crab wasn't super duper fresh. The crepe was just a freshly made tortilla. Moved on to the white asparagus tempura which was unfortunately heavily salted... The tempura batter was light and the asparagus was tasty. Even the dipping sauce was tasty. The agnolotti verde was excellent. The pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. The snow pea tips were tasty although some were quite "old." The grilled half chicken may have been the highlight of the meal. This was my first time having Heritage chicken and it was quite tasty. The chicken was grilled to perfection. The meat was very juicy and flavorful, including the breast. The skin was grilled crispy and lightly salted. Excellent. The short rib entree was decent. The short rib felt overcooked, especially after being seared on the grill. The side sauces were decent. It was interesting that none of the entrees had any side dishes, for vegetables as an example. Again, most, if not all of the photos were from the previous chef, which was different... There is no longer any mention of a pastry chef on the website which is a bummer. The desserts were lacklustre...definitely not worth the $15 for the chocolate and hazelnut. The ice cream was a huge miss as it seemed to be lacking in dairy...it felt like it was made using skim milk....yikes. ~$125/head after tax and gratuity, including a 5% employer mandates.

For those who like all the juicy deets, please enjoy the following... Arrived at Son & Garden around 10:30a or so for brunch in mid-July so the weather was great (but the weather is always great in the bay area). The place sits right on the corner and has outside seating under a covering. There are also some overhead heaters installed to keep the temperature comfortable. There are a few parking spaces in front of the restaurant, however when leaving I noticed there was an A-frame sign on the curb that says "Cal-Train Parking", which requires payment so I don't officially know if the parking was free. This brings me to my next point, there is a parking lot right next to the spaces in front of the restaurant, which clearly belongs to Cal-Train, since there is a train station right next to it. Here is where some of the points came off, the noise from the train horn was very loud and if you are not expecting it, it can be startling. The service was prompt and friendly, and they were very attentive. At no point did I ever have to flag anyone down for more water or to ask for anything, kudos to the entire service staff for their level of service. There were a few things ordered here, we had the Chicken Panini with fries, a green salad and a complete meal that included French Toast, Scrambled Eggs and I added the Applewood Smoked Bacon. My wife ordered the "Into the Forest" drink that she said was delicious. All of the food was really good. The Chicken Panini was cooked and made very well, the chicken was moist, tomatoes were thickly cut and the sauce was great. The fries were crispy and seasoned well, and accompanied with a buttermilk ranch dressing that tasted as if it was made from scratch, in house. Honestly, I would purchase a bottle to take home if they had some for sale, it was that good and I'm not a "ranch" dressing kind of guy. The eggs were fluffy and the bacon was pretty good, but my favorite would have to be the French Toast. There was a hint of orange flavor somewhere in the batter and they were absolutely delicious without any syrup. They were made with levain bread, and topped with powdered sugar and fresh fruit. I was very happy with the french toast if I haven't mentioned that yet . In summary, it was a refreshing brunch, with great food and service. My only cons were the train doing its "choo choo" thing a few times during the time there and in my opinion, I feel the prices were slightly more on the expensive side for "breakfast" food but I also know this is the world we live in these days. You will not be disappointed if you choose to eat there (or get a drink there according to my wife).

Eylan might be my favorite restaurant in the Bay at this time, and believe me, there's some fierce competition because I sure do like to eat. Let's talk about the food first. Their vegetarian options are fantastic. I may actually like their appetizers or small plates even more than their entrees. - The Bellwether Farm Ricotta: When you read the description, you might be like uhh not sure about this one. It is so yummy. You will want to eat 10 of these. - Chilled Green Grape Chaas: This is like Pani Puri, meaning they are little taste bombs that explode in your mouth. Their rendition is wonderful; you should get this. - Kohlrabi and Pineapple Kebab: Again, you might be like "say what now," but this is genius. The spicy glaze! The sweet and sour of the pineapple, paired with the earthiness of the kohlrabi, is the perfect combination of flavors. - Squash Blossom: Yummy! That makhani alone is worth it. - Hispi Cabbage: I love this thing. The smokiness and char of the cabbage match perfectly with the chutney. The interior is stunning. Whoever they hire to design their restaurants clearly knows what they are doing. The only negative is being seated near the windows that look out, because it takes some of the ambiance away. Once we got seated at the bar because they were all out of table reservations, and that was a great experience as well. Easy parking, but first time visiting, you might drive past the building it's in because it looks like an office space or residence from the outside. Great cocktail and mocktail menu. Not cheap, so we try to come here for special occasions.

    The ambience is beautiful and I fell in love with the art and aesthetics. The food is uniquely…read morepresented with delicious flavor combinations. They have the option of doing a tasting menu or à la carte. Service was great. I think they ask for reservations but walk ins are also welcome and accepted. Parking is in the attached garage conveniently located.

    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.

We were promptly seated and each enjoyed a slightly bubbly glass of that Rolfshark rose. I have to find that stuff! Next, I was on to Ethel's Fancy martini- Haiku vodka and a lemon twist. So refreshing! I let my friend order for all of us. It was truly a fun, adventurous experience going through all these dishes. Yes, it's pricey, but you are getting what you pay for. The passion and creativity from the kitchen is quite apparent. I notice all the meticulous details: how the food was positioned on the plate with condiments, the little flowers, garnishment carefully placed, sauces proportionally applied. With that said, everything tastes as good as it looks. I am eating food art! It's some of the most creative fusions I've indulged in. The combinations of foods and ingredients are daring yet harmonious leading to an exceptional party in your mouth. The service is also impeccable and the atmosphere vibrant with jovial sounds of laughter, conversation and music! I can't wait to feel fancy at Ethel's again! So much enticing ailment. So limited space in my stomach!

    Visited 7/17/2026 Friday evening. Reservations were easy through OpenTable. My wife and I opted for…read morethe "Discovery Menu" which consisted of 12 or so courses for $125 pp. We were seated outside. Total after drinks/fees/taxes/tips neared $400 for two. Pros: The food was thoughtful and was mostly good, with the highlights being the seafood and veggie courses. We appreciated the Asian influence on flavors and textures. Chili oil made multiple appearances across dishes. Halibut tartare, milk bread, cocktails and dessert were excellent. Cons: We asked for the outdoor propane heat lamp to be turned on. Waitstaff struggled to turn it on, though this seems universal at any establishment with these types of heat lamps. They ended up replacing the propane tank underneath, but didn't try to turn the lamp back on after. There seemed to be staff miscommunication throughout the night. We were asked multiple times if we had received certain courses yet. We didn't have a copy of the menu at that point so if we missed a course, there's a chance we wouldn't have known anyway.... The table next to us also opted for the discovery menu, and waitstaff brought out a duplicate dish to them on multiple occasions only to walk it back. Multiple dishes were meant to be shared, so you would potentially need a lot of cutlery. However, waitstaff would place up to four! sets of forks/spoons on the side of the table in advance. They would also spend time to balance the fork on top of the spoon, which of course came undone once the table moved at all. This was a little awkward and took lot of table space. This was in addition to the main cutlery placement. Food wise, a melon dish felt unbalanced flavor-wise due to extremely sweet cantaloupe (peak season!) overpowering the tajin-like broth it came with. The beef striploin course was overcooked to well done, pictures included. There were six slices total, the two pictured were representative of the rest. We opted to not send it back as we were hungry and had already waited a long time.
