Four of us had a wonderful pre holiday lunch and we are all extremely satisfied customers for close to 20 years. The food was amazing, we began with fried calamari and the cauliflower soup. We shared the branzino (deboned ) sole fish, lamb chops and the chicken souvlaki. For dessert two of us enjoyed Judy's ice cream sundae and an order of galaktourrko and the chocolate cake. Delicious.. Our server Pryush was beyond outstanding, very helpful and extremely pleasant.

We couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was amazing but the attention paid to accommodating the various dietary needs from eggplant allergies to seafood orders we forgot to place in time. All without making us uncomfortable at all. Thank you for all you did to make it so special. Special shout-out to Bonnie:)

Outdoor dining at the Parkside is enchanting is good weather, while indoor dining in winter weather is cozy and intimate. The quality of the food is always remarkable, and the ambiance reflects impeccable taste. To be seated amongst the highly successful movers and doers, the cool, ambitious, intelligent, unpretentious sophisticates of Woodside and Portola Valley is a privilege. The patrons of the Parkside are from the demographic that put Silicon Valley on the global map. They have exquisite, subdued tastes and elect to dine at the Parkside; that speaks volumes.
