Hercules Restaurants

The holiday cocktails were delicious. Smoked pork chop and miso glazed carrots were my favorites of the evening….but everything was really wonderful. I have been to bull Valley many times over the years, and always have had great experiences. Last night’s dinner was very special and has landed right up there at the top.

A lovely lunch, at a table next to a window. Jordan, our server, was very patient, and provided excellent service and recommendations. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of sparkling wine, carpaccio, veal scalopinni, beet salad, and lamb. The food quality was exquisite.

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!

Celebrated a birthday dinner and had a wonderful time. Great food, wonderful drinks, great table and a good time! Will definitely be back.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, as was the service. I would highly recommend this location.
