Stanford
It looks pretty but it's too fruity.

East Palo Alto

4/5(4 area reviews)

Visitors to East Palo Alto like its mountain views and restaurants, and San Francisco Bay is a sight worth a stop.

East Palo Alto
These guys fuse Vietnamese food with their own, local knowledge, in a beautiful low lit setting, and hit it out of the park. Shaking beef, black cod, crab and shrimp noodles, dry sauteed curry string beans, accompanied by a frosty Saigon Vietnamese beer. Reminded me of Monsoon in Seattle, or The Slanted Door in SF. Good, knowledgable and helpful wait staff provide a very memorable dining experience.  Can't wait to go back.

"Great hotel with beautiful ponds and flowers. We had a king lagoon view room. The room was spacious and clean. The large sliding door window over the lagoon was amazing. This is my second stay here and I will stay again."

I accidentally booked Dinah's Garden Hotel in Palo Alto, not realizing how far it actually was from the San Jose airport. Fortunately, we left early enough in the morning that traffic wasn't a problem and we arrived at the airport in 15-20 minutes.
