Wildseed - (Near Palo Alto, CA)

Emilee Vilardi We really enjoyed our dinner here. Huge plus that the patio is dog friendly! They brought our pup a bowl of water too, so sweet! The food was yummy and fresh. I got the raviolis along with the burrata with grilled peaches (that was a special, yum!). The Elder Bloom cocktail was so yummy too! Lastly, the crème brûlée was one of the best I have ever had. We didn’t sit inside since we had our dog but the inside looked so cool and vibey from what I could see from the host stand. Our server was Gabriella and she was so sweet, personable and attentive. We will absolutely be back!

Maria So so so good. Everything we had was phenomenal, they do have some things that rotate on the menu so if there’s something you want to try, I recommend going for it. Had no reservations, walked in around 5pm on a Saturday, were very lucky to get seated at the bar (3 of us). Service was outstanding, one of the dishes was delayed and they gave us complimentary meatballs. I had the lamb Ragu - amazing. Others had the seafood pasta that was also very good, and the bucatini.

Bruno Ribeiro This food really is unmatched. The service was great and the atmosphere was cozy. It is working with a bit of a limited space, but they are so quick to service that you don’t even have time to notice. The portion are just right and the deserts aren’t too filling so definitely worth ordering some no matter how full you think you are. Plus apparently the chef is the owner, so good sign of quality of food! They have a weird curtain at the door that makes it seem like they are closed, but just ignore that.

Unicorn Rainbows Absolutely amazing. Usually don’t leave reviews for places but this one takes the cake. Came to celebrate bf’s birthday and they executed everything perfectly. Staff were very kind and explained dishes in clear detail. Drinks (their daily non-alcoholic chef’s choice) were absolutely yummy. Prices were very fair for the portions. Ambience could be described as a woody southern bar meets classy fine dining. Would love to come back again for special occasions.

Louisa Moore Due to its location in a more hoity-toity area of Southern California, this Houstons location attracts a lot of "see and be seen" types as well as the "ladies who lunch." Never in my life have I seen more designer handbags, clothes, and shoes than I have at this restaurant (not to mention plastic surgeries, LOL). That being said, Ive never felt out of place in my Chucks and Kohls jeans. This Houstons offers plenty of free parking, which is one of the major pluses of dining here! They also accept reservations, which I highly recommend. Otherwise, you could be facing upwards of a 90 minute (or longer!) wait at busy times. I usually eat here during lunch, and its just as crowded as it is at dinnertime. As with other locations, the service here is top notch. Professional, efficient, and welcoming, Ive always been pleased with our servers. My go-to menu items are the cheese toast appetizer and the house made veggie burger. Both are excellent (and pricey), but worth it. The cheese toast isnt really big enough to share (I could eat the entire plate myself), but its high quality. Nice, melty cheese on crunchy bites of toast...you cant go wrong. The veggie burger is one of the best in the world. Its made with beets, so it "bleeds" when you cut it. This gives it the appearance of a big, juicy burger although its made from vegetables. Im not sure the exact ingredients, but it looks like it has oats, rice, sweet potatoes, and other good stuff. I love to get broccoli as my side, and I feel like I have a very healthy meal. I usually take half to go because its a large portion and, considering the high quality of the ingredients, its more than satisfying! The menu is filled with so many yummy sounding things, and I dont think you can go wrong with anything you order. Budget around $80 for a nice lunch for two without booze.

Nicole Wallace A lovely dining experience. A nice atmosphere with soft lighting inside. Outdoor seating was also available. The scallops were some of the best my mother or I have ever had ($42 includes 4 large scallops, two sides and a dipping sauce). The scallops were huge and cooked immaculately. The clam chowder( $12) was good,, not great. The oysters were sub par and we were disappointed in the very small size and preparation but they did seem fresh (1/2 dozen $24). The melon feta salad was fun and interesting although it was missing the pistachios it still was very good ($17) Our server Iris was attentive and sweet.
