    MUSHROOM BAO
    Anuja S.

    I would give it 4 stars. Food was excellent. We ordered mushroom bao, Brussels sprouts, corn pizza and yellow curry. Ambience was good. Service was not great and would like an improved experience. Parking m is ample in a busy complex. I will go again!

    Rigatoni pomodoro

    Very popping place even on a week day evening. That tells something. Great setup indoor and outdoor for a private meeting or a large gathering. Impressed by the wide selection of vegetarian items in the menu. Vegetarian food items here don't sound like an add-on or an after thought. Food is subtle and finely made yet satisfying. Personally I would like some more flavors and more veggies included. The food is also on the pricier side. Well, something you can expect in this area I think. Thanks to the team at this facility for allowing people to meet and celebrate together in a relaxing setting. Overall a great first time visit(= We are already planning for a repeat visit)

    I went here for an event and was pleasantly surprised about the food. I'm not vegan so I don't usually go for that type of food, but this time it was surprisingly good. Service was swift and friendly. The ambiance: outdoor seating is really nice, its calm and energetic, despite being in a parking lot it doesn't feel bad. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the pizza, the vegan cheese was kind of slimy, it happens, but doesn't take away anything from the experience

    Don't let the "vegan" label scare you off. It's not just healthy...it's delicious as well. Beet poke- good Mushroom bao - my favorite item of the night Meatballs - ok The mixed grill - excellent Lemon cake - good I will go back for sure.

    Wildseed restored my faith--and my spirit! As someone who spent 30 years rolling out Zero Waste programs across the Bay Area, I've been feeling increasingly disheartened watching how much single-use and food waste has surged lately. With my mother currently at Stanford Hospital, I've been eating on the go constantly and witnessing this excess firsthand. Then came Brenya. This incredible young server didn't just bring me fantastic summer cuisine--she brought pure heart. When she served me an extra dish of Mexi corn fritters simply because she couldn't bear to see good food go to waste, it moved me deeply. Her empathy, thoughtfulness, and natural alignment with the Zero Waste spirit lifted my soul at a time I truly needed it. Bravo, Brenya, and bravo, Wildseed! You have a customer for life. I'll be back! XX

    Wildseed is a plant-based restaurant that knows what it's doing. We ordered the Fancy Yellow Juice (5/5), pineapple, orange, turmeric, ginger, and lemon, and it was refreshing and genuinely interesting, not just a wellness shot. The food followed suit. Beet Poke (4.5/5) was a standout, with ginger sesame vinaigrette, taro chips, and seaweed salad making it feel truly intentional. Hummus Basar (4.5/5) was bold and satisfying, and the Lemon Poppyseed Shortcake (4.5/5) closed things out beautifully. Skip the Potato Pizza (3/5), which felt flat compared to everything else on the table. Service was attentive without hovering, and the outdoor setting is gorgeous. Wildseed knows how to feed a crowd without dumbing anything down. We'll be back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Ranks in my top 10 All time favorite vegan restaurants in the country. Honestly I find the Palo Alto location more satisfying, can't tell the right reason... maybe it's a combination of experience with staff, location, and the cozy ambiance. I am a fan of the brunch options and what they accomplished with the vegan food there. I had a great experience for a recent dinner on March 13th, especially because of the kind gentleman serving us patiently with a smile. I wish I remembered his name. We loved the food and huge likes for the desserts , so good!! I loved the vegan feta cheese.. especially... great texture! The salad dressing, the falafel, the chocolate cake and GF cookie, were an amazing!!

    CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

    So originally the plan with my girl friend was to dine at Teleféric Barcelona a couple steps away from Wildseed but their waitlist was 2.5 hours in a Thursday night! We walked into Wildseed and were greeted with a hello and "do you have reservations?" to which we felt was going to be a repeat of Teleféric but when we said that we didn't they offered us outside or the high table by the entry. We were delighted we could eat inside since it was a chilly weeknight in January 2026 and didn't mind that it was a vegetarian menu. FOOD We had the cauliflower appetizer and the beets tostadas appetizer, both of which were absolutely delicious! We didn't even think about missing meat products which I expected as a person with an omnivore diet. My friend had the orecchiette pasta and I had the tofu tikki masala. We both throughly enjoyed our dishes and even got full before we could finish! I was shocked given it was meatless. The portions aren't small but neither too big. Just right like Miss Goldilocks, the criminal would say. AMBIANCE The place is bright airy and open with a view of the happenings in the kitchen. Always a delight to be able to see your food being prepared because it shows transparency and maintains a standard of cleanliness. SERVICE Our waitress was incredibly friendly and even confirmed that our two appetizer choices were exactly what she recommends to her guests! We definitely "beet" her to the punchline for those tostadas and cauliflower appetizer choices! The women's restroom was out of order that night and the waitress got another male staff member to check that the bathroom was empty before allowing my female friend to use it. She even stayed by the door and chatted with me while my friend was in the restroom to make sure she didn't get a surprise visit from a male guest. BOTTOM LINE TLDR; great tasting food that actually gets you full and feels healthy with friendly staff!

    Hawaiian pizza
    Hanna L.

    Came in for a cleaner light dinner after the cooking class. The menus are all vegan with a variety of drink options including draft Konbucha on tap and mocktails. The bartender was attentive and kind, and the Hawaiian pizza came in quickly after we ordered it. I liked the thin crispy dough, and the vegan cheese tasted good. Good for our purpose (clean lighter meal) but could be too light for other people. I liked my mango yuzu kombucha that came in a beer glass - felt a little boozy for some reasons but I might be just tired - and hope it doesn't have ABV in it from fermentation cause I'm in my last trimester. Will return for a quick cleaner meal option

    MUSHROOM ZEPPOLE
    Michele T.

    Showed up at around 6:30pm on Wednesday without a reservation and it was pretty busy. We were able to snag one of the high top tables located near the bar. We decided to order the following to share: 1) Wild Mushroom Zeppole - yum! I love mushrooms so this was a good one. Quite tasty. 2) Fries - arrived hot and crispy and served with a chipotle aioli, herb aioli, and ketchup. Can't go wrong with hot and crispy fries. 3) Winter pizza - enjoyed the thin crust and all of the toppings. It was light and full of flavor. We enjoyed all of the dishes. I'd return to try other menu items.

    Another phenomenal experience at Wildseed! This place is so special. This time, it was just my girls and I. We tried many dishes, and the only two I didn't fully connect with were the cauliflower dish and the beet tacos. That isn't to say that they weren't excellent--just not my personal favorites. We had tastes of at least 6 other things, and they were all terrific!!!! An easy five stars for innovative and delicious food plus superstar service. Thank you, Wildseed!!

    The interior of this restaurant was so pretty! I like how they decorate with plants and it looked clean. Although the food doesn't look too beautiful, it tasted amazing and so flavorful. It was fresh, piping hot, and filling. Our server was nice in helping us order. We came at lunch time on Sunday so there was a 20 minute wait but they put your number down and will text you once your table is ready so we walked around the plaza to kill time.

    WINTER PIZZA & ORECCHIETTE ALLA PUGLIESE
    Tiana M.

    When I first became vegan, Wildseed was one of the very first fully vegan restaurants I tried, and I've been a loyal customer ever since. I've never had a bad experience here. I come often, and one thing I really appreciate is that they rotate their menu every season; there's always something new to look forward to. This review is for their Winter Menu (December). For the starters; I ordered the beet tostadas, grilled artichoke, and the creamy celery soup. The beet tostadas are my all-time favorite item on their menu. Always flavorful and consistently good every time I order them. The grilled artichoke, however, was a disappointment; the sauce it came with was delicious, but the artichoke itself was difficult to eat. The creamy celery soup was surprisingly impressive. It was velvety, well-seasoned, and the crispy onions on top added the perfect finishing touch. For the entrees, we tried the paella for two, winter pizza, Oklahoma smash burger, masala bowl, and the orecchiette alla pugliese. The paella didn't have much flavor on its own, even with the vegetables but the garlic aioli elevated it and made it much more enjoyable. The winter pizza was the standout entree for me. It had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The tempeh bacon was delicious, and the cheese really held its own. I'd absolutely order it again. The Oklahoma smash burger had good flavor, but it wasn't anything special. It needed more sauce because the patty was a little dry. The fries, though, were baked to perfection. The masala bowl had good flavor overall. Especially the curry but it leaned a little too sweet for my taste. Still, the shredded carrots and black rice paired nicely with it. The orecchiette alla pugliese was good, but the sauce mostly sat at the bottom of the bowl, leaving the pasta itself on the dry side. The part of the sauce that was mixed in tasted buttery, smooth, and well-balanced. I just wish it had been incorporated better so it could actually coat the pasta. The atmosphere here is always pleasant. It was very clean, and we sat outside where they had heating lamps, which kept everything cozy. The lights were beautiful. I wish I'd taken a photo. The service here was great. The staff were genuinely kind, and we constantly had people checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our server was especially helpful. Very well informed about the menu, able to answer all our questions, and overall very proactive. The food also came out relatively fast, which was much appreciated. Overall, despite a few dishes that didn't fully hit the mark, Wildseed continues to be one of my favorite vegan spots in the Bay Area. Their seasonal menus keep things exciting, and I'll definitely continue coming back.

    Yes! They have a beautiful outdoor seating.

    Is there a corkage fee option?

    Do they have space for large reservations (10 or so)?

    yes but not a lot so I would make the reservation at least a month in advance if you can!

    Can I get the golden chai hot instead of iced?

    Yes! Just ask your server or bartender.

    Do you sell whole cakes?

    I did not see this on the menu but I bet you can put a special order in

    Does the neatball have gluten?

    Hi Lisa, Our neatballs themselves do not contain gluten. However, they are fried in the same oil as other things that do contain gluten so there may be cross-contamination.

    What does the abbreviation CG mean next to menu items?

    "cg" indicates that the dish contains gluten. Please note that some dishes may not contain gluten, but may possibly be exposed to cross contamination so for very sensitive allergies, we would suggest consulting a team member. Thank you! Hope this…

They helped guide us through the menu and we're really knowledgeable about the dishes. I also had the pleasure of meeting the new chef on my most recent visit, he is passionate and energetic, I look forward to returning to sees what he comes up with next. Highlights: The Beef Tongue skewer, my sister said it was the best she'd ever had. The Embered Scallops, presented beautifully in the shell with a dreamy chili cognac butter A Tie between the Chocolate Tart and the Bread Pudding. Save room for dessert! Honorable: Housemade Parker Rolls ( get the whipped ricotta and mascarpone) Cons: The music can be a little loud in the back room for conversation.

The Ahi was a fair portion for what I expected from the prix fixe menu. The flavor was nicely balanced, and the fish was beautifully seared while remaining tender inside. Overall, a well-executed dish. The Hamachi, unfortunately, wasn't something I'd order again. The fish flavor was unusually pronounced in a way that wasn't particularly pleasant. It came across as slightly off and overshadowed the rest of the dish. The second course was also mixed. The Bavette steak is a cut fairly close to skirt steak, and it's one where preparation, cooking, and especially slicing can make or break the experience. Unfortunately, this one arrived closer to medium-rare despite my requesting medium. More importantly, it was sliced with the grain. The steak had good beefy flavor, but being undercooked for my preference and sliced with the grain made it exceptionally chewy. I'm also not a fan of having steak pre-sliced before it reaches the table. I prefer to let a steak rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting so the juices can redistribute. In a commercial kitchen, I don't see this happening, also if the steak like this is going to be sliced before serving, I'd prefer it be sliced against the grain. The dry-aged New York strip was much better. It arrived sliced into strips and was cooked exactly to the requested medium. The aging process brought out a pronounced, beefy flavor, and the portion was a good size. There was some gristle, as you'd expect with a New York strip, but here I would have preferred some of the tougher exterior gristle to have been trimmed a bit more aggressively before cooking. Dessert was the highlight of the meal. The pastry/dessert chef is working at a level above the other courses. I rarely order chocolate desserts because chocolate has become just so vanilla as a safe, uninspired and predictable choice. That was absolutely not the case here. The dark chocolate tart was outstanding. It was intensely rich and unapologetically dark, with a depth of chocolate flavor that made it much more interesting than the typical chocolate dessert. The portion was surprisingly generous considering how powerful the dish was. The butterscotch pudding with fresh fruit was equally impressive, but in a completely different direction. My first thought was, fruit and butterscotch? Those aren't two flavors that play well together. But the pairing seemed audacious enough that there had to be a reason for it, and there was. The fruit was clearly selected with care, and the quality showed. The butterscotch pudding was beautifully made. It was firm enough to hold its shape, but exceptionally smooth, with a gentle, well-controlled sweetness. Each component tasted great on its own, but combining them was where the dish really came alive. The fruit's brightness and acidity cut through the richness of the butterscotch, creating a surprisingly balanced combination. That dessert alone is worth coming back for. Service was outstanding. We were never rushed, and the pacing felt very natural. Courses came out when we were ready rather than being pushed along. The staff was friendly, attentive, and worked together seamlessly. Environmentally, the wood themed interior (think sequoia) is attractive, the beverage menu is a wood binder the the plates have a tree slice, wood-cookie, cross-cut look. Although it can get cold. There's a ceiling register that sends air directly down the wall and onto the tops of your head, neck, and shoulders. If you're sensitive to cold air, your table location may make a difference. And while they do change silverware between courses, they also place silverware directly on the table. All-in-all a good dining experience with the edges to clean-up.

We trusted him completely by the end of the meal, which is how we ended up trying several cocktails. My favorite was the Low rider because I'm a mezcal girly and the espresso martini was especially good definitely one of the better ones I've had. I loved the different ingredients they use, including Ola Coffee, which gave it something a little different. And then Sam recommended the whiskey butter cake. That cake was the perfect ending. Every recommendation he gave us was a hit, so at this point I would probably let Sam plan my entire brunch menu. We had such a fun family brunch and genuinely left talking about how much we enjoyed everything. Great food, great cocktails, great service, and a staff member who clearly knows how to make people have a good time. The ambiance was also such a vibe. The interior is really cute and we got seated in a booth, which made it feel extra cozy and perfect for hanging out and enjoying brunch.

    Driving back from Morgan Hill on a Sunday morning, we wanted to find somewhere for brunch before…read moreheading into San Francisco. This place popped up, and once we parked, we realized it was right by the farmers market... so clearly we had made the right choice. We got there right when they opened, so no wait, and grabbed a table inside near their very pretty bar. I had already stalked the menu a bit and had my order figured out for both of us: pistachio pancakes and the chicken mole breakfast tacos. And honestly, both were excellent and exactly what we needed after a wedding the night before involving a few (too many?) cocktails. The pistachio pancakes were delicious, but DO NOT skip the syrupp. I'm pretty sure there's cardamom in it, and whatever they're doing, it takes the pancakes to another level. And the chicken mole breakfast tacos? I've never actually seen mole incorporated into a breakfast taco before, but it totally works. A little unusual, very flavorful, and definitely not your standard breakfast taco. Hubby also wants to add that the coffee was very good!

    We came in a Sunday and if you come too early there is always an amazing farmers market you can…read morewalk around at. Because of timing for other errands we came at 10:30 am and they were open on time and ready. Sitting outside or inside is amazing, outside you get the crowd and the sun. Inside you get amazing interior design. My overall feedback is this is one of the rare "fancy" Mexican places that justify the price and justification. Everything is above average in taste and execution. Brunch Tacos mole: chicken mole poblano, scrambled eggs, huitlacoche, tortillas, epazote crema, fried shallots & avocado. Perfect portioning and the salad that came with it had a fantastic dressing. I pulled some chicken out and gave it to my wife and then it was perfect, a bit too overstuff before. The mole and overall taste were quite good though. Chilaquiles: tortilla chips sautéed in chile de árbol-guajillo salsa, topped with queso fresco, cilantro crema, and an egg. My wife loved this so much it made her question every time she didn't order it before. Fried egg sandwich: two over easy eggs on house baked brioche bun, chipotle aioli, avocado, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried shallot. Kids loved this and happily ate the leftover after. Iced Mexican Cafe: delicious iced coffee with a distinct Mexican taste. Distrito Verde: mezcal, basil, lemon, and falernum. Simple but refreshing brunch cocktail, really paired well with the mole tacos. Chips and salsa: These are not free but worth the price. Both the chips and the 2 salsa are of extremely good quality and preparation. Abnormally tasty and the kids went crazy eating it.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Zola. There are many seating options at this restaurant. You can sit…read moreoutside, in the bar area (at the bar or small tables), and a couple of dining rooms. We were seated in the bar area at some tables. The bar is impressive. It's filled to the ceiling with different bottles. We felt like we had to try a cocktail to start. Our bartender was great and even went off menu for some of our drinks. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Once we were seated we got some appetizers to get us started. We ordered chickpea panisse, French onion soup, goat cheese mousse, and the apple salad. Everything was delicious. My favorite was the chickpea panisse. It looked like fried tofu, but it was so delicately soft in the center. The aioli that came with it was great too. My second favorite was the goat cheese mousse. It was beautifully presented and a good balance of flavors. For main dishes, we got a variety of things. We got salmon, hanger steak, flat iron steak, and poulet roti. Everything was delicious. I think the flat iron steak was preferred over the hanger, but both were good. I thought the chicken was delicious. It seemed braised with a lot of flavor. It was a generous portion with a large salad. It was very well done. We also got a couple of sides of macaroni and cheese. Those didn't disappoint. They came in hot iron skillets and were hearty and delicious. For dessert we got the mousse au chocolat. The mousse with ice cream was a great combination. The dessert was well balanced. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The staff was great, the food was delicious, and the vibe was fun.

Parker house rolls were fresh and tasty, although not spectacular. The wildflower butter tasted about the same as regular butter. 2. French onion soup was very pleasant, highly recommended. It had a strong taste of (1) something resembling wine must and (2) a meat stock, although I wasn't entirely sure. 3. Roasted chicken was good, maybe not as good as at Sekoya in terms of juiciness, but not dry either, especially with the jug of juice. The chicory salad served alongside it was delightful, however, and one of my favourite parts of the meal. 4. The duck was somewhat small and drier than the usual Chinese style. I did like the demi glace sauce and the rutabaga garnish. 5. The 12oz dry aged rib eye was tasty, with a beautiful crust, but the interior again was a little drier than I would hope for medium rare. Again, the bordelaise sauce was very good. We all loved the aioli that was served alongside the French fries. 6. The side of cooked beans was the main disappointment. The beans themselves didn't taste of much, and the dish as a whole was only rescued by the generous serving of marcona almonds. 7. The grits were decently good. Overall, the meal was an enjoyable dining experience and I would recommend Zola, especially as this style of cooking is becoming less common and squeezed out by restaurants serving more aggressively-flavoured dishes.

    Love Love Love this place!…read more We sat at the bar ... a la carte menu ... and it was PERFECT! Best anniversary dinner ever. Andrew Y and the rest of the staff could not have done any better - hats off to the entire staff! Food - Had the Oysters [AMAZING}, Milk Bread [so soft & fluffy], Spanish Octopus [tender & tasty], and the star of the evening.... The Brick Chicken [so amazingly delicious] no easy way to explain it except completely exceptional. A must try for sure!! Ended with the Yuzu Matcha Cake. The restaurant itself is a decent size with a very cool vibe - they three different reservation choices [and reservations are a MUST, btw] I have been able to partake in all three and they are worth it. For this visit we did the Bar Top... but they also have A La Carte Indoors and 7-Course Tasting Menu. Parking could be a little tricky, but drive around.... I am lucky enough to always get front row - I think there is a parking garage behind. Also, this is VERY close to the Cal Train station, so if you don't want to drive - this is also a great option. Would I go back? YES YES YES

Our party went for the a la carte option to order a variety of dishes to share, rather than to be restricted to options. We tried: +the Milk Bread - served with Stepladder Creamery cultured butter and Balinese sea salt +the 'Fish & Chips' - prepared with hamachi, Asian pear, red curry, and pickled jalapenos +Crab and Caviar - with dungeness crab, Protégé reserve caviar, and yuzu sabayon +and, the A5 Wagyu Tataki - with black sesame crackers, enoki mushrooms, and karashi For my entree, I tried the Flannery Beef Short Rib, which was served with sunchoke 'hash', charcoal-grilled king trumpet mushrooms, horseradish, and pimenton; I also tried one's Blackened Monkfish and the 'Peas and Carrots.' Everything was well-presented and aesthetically-pleasing, service was on point, and they checked upon our large party often. The restaurant itself is well-decorated, with nice photographs on the wall; request for the tufted seating, as it's more comfortable. +attentive staff +a la carte and tasting menu offered +reservations accepted
