    We returned for a second visit this holiday season; it was wonderful. Got adventurous and had the creamed corn. I noticed my daughters snuck more than an initial half teaspoon taste. It was very, very good. Not watery creamy. This had a nice texture. Try it! The prime rib was exceptional. I had the smaller portion. One daughter had the thinner slices. One daughter had the regular cut. All were sumptuous! Had a baked potato instead of the mashed. It was yummy. We ordered an apple crisp to share between the three of us. It was delicious with a nice amount of apple slices hidden under the topping and surrounded by the usual warm spices. Our server was great! She was friendly, attentive but didn’t hover. Thank you all for a wonderful evening! I may not be back for a while. Palo Alto daughter is moving to Duarte. CA this summer. If she needs help moving, we’ll have to do a farewell visit at House of Prime Rib. Again, thank you!

    I’ve been coming to Miller and Lux since it’s opening and, consistently, the service does not disappoint, the food is memorable, and all conveniently located within walking distance of home and work. While I was seated on time, my guest anticipated arriving late, and the welcome and ease of dining was paramount. Thank you to all staff!

    The Palm Court at RH was an experience. I came here for an anniversary dinner and the ambiance was like eating at a rich friends house. Like bitcoin rich. We were greeted as soon as we entered the door and brought to this magnificent and elegant dining room. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the property and experience guest usually seek. Since it was our first time there we were shy, but she advised us to just grab a drink and explore the building like a museum. Each floor was like a page from a magazine. I loved seeing my girlfriend's face as every corner we turned she gained inspiration. On to dinner, we started with the mini Lobster/Caviar appetizer and for the main we had the Branzino and Wagyu Ribeye along with Baked Sweet Potatoes and some veg. Each dish tasted great. The fish was delicate and flaky and was cooked to perfection. A squeeze of fresh lemon really enhanced the sweetness of the fish. The steak was rich and tender. It had a nice char on the outside and it was our favorite dish of the night. Also don't sleep on the sides. The baked sweet potato was awesome. The marshmallow/butter cream was sweet and savory, I would get this unique side every time. For dessert we had the chocolate chip cookies and creme brulee. Both were executed very well. 10/10 experience and I can see myself coming back for their brunch.

    I met up with three friends who live in the neighborhood (I work there, but live elsewhere) and we truly had a wonderful experience! We had flights of wine (paired with chocolates), then ordered glasses of the ones we most enjoyed and also shared a delicious charcuterie board among us. The staff was incredibly kind, thoughtful & went above and beyond multiple times to make us feel welcome and to create a delightful experience, filling the evening with treats and the best service I've had in awhile. This is going to be a regular go-to for us! Thank you all so much for a fabulous evening!
