   Our server was amazing, and shared feedback with the kitchen. He knew the menu and made solid wine suggestions. Very impressed

   Great setting, great food. Service was good, but servers were too keen at times. Music was good, but could be more atmospheric. It was very kind of the restaurant to treat us a dessert for the birthday occasion! We paid $85/person (including 15% tip) for a starter, a main, a side and a glass of wine - portions are small so all three are needed. Overall, highly recommended for a special night out or a date. So far, Bird Dog and Evvia are the two best restaurants I have tried in the Palo Alto area.

   Really great bar, bar tenders, and nicely upbeat atmosphere and staff. Food was great, as well.

   Enjoyed our dinner at Bird Dog. The dishes we ordered were unusual, original and very tasty. It is nice to have a restaurant with food that is different from what you typically get elsewhere.

   Crazy expensive but great food! Would be appropriate for a nice night out, but was a silly pricey lunch.

   Too pricey for food. I wouldn't even say Tapas, more like junior Tapas ... it would be one thing if it was Michelin rated, but it just was unsatisfying, as we were expecting better quality food and/or better value for food.

   I take all my tinder dates here! And they love it. The food is awesome, try the Uni dish and the Chicken. The bartenders also have an awesome array of cocktails.

    I love the atmosphere of this place - chic yet relaxed feeling. I definitely want to come back and try other things on their lunch and dinner menu. The Organic Egg was amazing, especially not knowing what to expect with ingredients of mushrooms and potato chips! The Wagyu skirt steak was very flavorful and the rice porridge with the compressed chicken made me think of the times my mom made this for us on a cold winter evening. Don't expect service to be timely as the food is something to experience slowly, so ensure you have enough time to enjoy it all or signal your server if you're in a hurry as they give you the time to enjoy the meal without rushing you. Well done, Chefs! Love that it's a family team running this too!
