    I took my son here for his 20th birthday dinner and from the start they made it a great experience. Had a sign and decorations on the table and took a photo and printed it out. The service was fantastic and the food was unbelievable. I had the sea bass and wish I could have it everyday. My son got the tomahawk steak and said it was amazing. Definitely worth the money for a great experience.

    Another great meal at Menlo Tavern! Went for a birthday lunch with 2 other friends. We order iced tea (wonderfully flavorful), Calamari for the table (perfectly crispy and hot) Cesar salad with grilled shrimp, and one with chicken (crisp romaine, delicious dressing, crunchy croutons, and perfectly seasoned protein) and to end the meal, a complimentary dessert (lemon tart brûlée) that rivaled any French restaurant. The service was attentive and friendly without being over bearing. Convenient parking too!
