Ethel's Fancy - Palo Alto

Amazing food and amazing service. From the menu composition, to each dish's execution, to the wonderful cocktails, it is clear that the chef is talented and well trained. In addition, the staff are amazing, well trained, and seem to enjoy working at the restaurant.

Excellent. And the after dinner cordial for our anniversary made for a perfect evening.

Wonderful selection of everything from small bites to a few entrees. All very tasty.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Chef Scott serves brilliant, creative, and delicious dishes. The innovative cocosfritter with wagyu was outstanding, and the fish dishes were incredibly fresh and flavorful. My favorite dish was the duck with black garlic BBQ sauce—it was absolutely perfect! Truly a cut above the rest! I also loved the creative layered mochi and coconut pop tart. It was a lot of fun!

It's quite rare for me to award five stars in every category, but this place truly deserves it. The experience was absolutely brilliant and original. The ambiance is beautiful, and the staff is excellent and attentive.
