Best Romantic Restaurants in Portola Valley

The food and service at Nobu can’t be beat. Every dish, spot on perfect. Our server & team were phenomenal. He curated our food selections & really nailed it. Food portions are small. Works for me but gets expensive trying to satiate a young guy. I’d love to see the “tacos” be sized for at least two bites. We ate in the atrium area at Nobu Palo Alto. It is probably lovely in the summer when you can see the garden. On a chilly, rainy November night, it felt a bit like being in the overflow area. Could perhaps be made more inviting with a little attention.

Antonio the som was wonderful & so helpful. Our server was both sweet & knowledgeable with the menu, & helped to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The kitchen was so kind to split our shared entrees into 3, all plated beautifully. Highly recommend this restaurant

We had a lovely dinner, even better than most at Parkside - which is typically very nice. The sole special was fantastic and the rigatoni a la vodka was exceptional. Can't go wrong with the Parkside Manhattan and it was nice to sit by the fireplace on a cold night.

Everything was great with this visit. From the time we arrived until the time we left, staff was attentive, food was great and the vibe was solid. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The whole experience was superb, from the moment we arrive the staff was friendly. welcoming and very attentive. The food was incredibly delecious andservic impeccable. Could not have had a better time. We'll definitely be back.
