The atmosphere was wonderful—very cozy for a hotel restaurant. The portions were generous, and the food was nicely seasoned, not too salty. However, while we were still eating, the staff kept asking if they could clear our plates—at least ten times—which made it uncomfortable to fully relax and enjoy the experience. We continued ordering drinks, including rosé sparkling wine, but the frequent interruptions took away from the enjoyment. That said, it’s a perfect place to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Love this place! We have been frequenting the Menlo Tavern for years now and can truly say we always leave there super happy with the outstanding quality of the food, the service and the lovely atmosphere. In a fiercely competitive market with options for any palette, Menlo Tavern continues to be a standout!

Staying at the Stanford Hotel I was able to have food from Menlo Tavern get sent up to my room and I was very delighted to see the big portion sizes. The burger was absolutely delicious and the sauce they have in it pairs very well with their burger patty. The fries and salad were delicious and more than enough in size for a single person. I greatly enjoyed their warm fresh baked cookies at the lobby of the hotel. I highly recommend to check it out especially if you are staying at the Stanford Hotel!
