    I had the grilled chicken salad. Although the portion was more than generous, the chicken was wa-a-ay overcooked. It was like leather. From a high end restaurant I expected better.

    Excellent service and attention to our group's needs from the hostess and our server. Tomato soup with 1/2 of a grilled cheese, club sandwich and ice cream sundae was delicious. Apple dessert was fine.

    Beautiful courtyard with shaded tables and live music, might be cold in winter but on a nice fall day it was delightful.
    Menlo TavernResponded on 30 September 2024
    Thank you for joining us on the courtyard, Richard! We serve outdoors until the end of October (if weather allows) and we move back to our stately dining room for the cooler seasons. I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything this morning and we hope to have you back with us again soon!
