Best fine dining restaurant in Palo Alto, California (CA) 2025

We went to this resto to use our gift cards. Not really a fan of flashy restaurants. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the experience. No reservations so we went to the bar. Staff are nice and helpful. The Ceasar's salad has good crispy bacon and thin slices of cheese. Gives great accent to the fresh veggies. The seabass has good texture and fine taste with a hint of orange. I don't like fish but the sweet aftertaste of seabass made me reconsider. The chix breasts has good smoky flavor, not salty and so soft and moist that I forgot this is a steak house. For a cheapskate like me, I would say this place is over-rated and over priced but with the gift cards, I don't mind the price at all :) My dinner experience was good at this place. Definitely will come again when I have gift cards (hint hint)... ~Terran
