It may arguably have the "best Greek dishes this side of Athens", including "fantastic" "fish and lamb", but add in one "heck of a Palo Alto scene", "warm" service and "beautiful, rustic" digs, and this "always hopping" Hellenic haunt (and sib to SF's Kokkari) becomes a "transporting" "taverna experience" – except "nobody is tossing empty ouzo glasses into the wood-fired oven"; its "prices are a bit steep" and it can get "godawful noisy", but "for the love" of Zeus, it's "totally worth it."

The name translates as 'the baker', so naturally there's the "smell of fresh bread" in the air at this "higher end" Italian chain where the "authentic", "consistently tasty" offerings arrive in "elegantly casual" indoor/outdoor environs; "super weekly specials", "monthly regional menus" and a "solid wine selection" add to its "reliable" reputation and help explain the somewhat "upscale" price point.

"Playful" Pan-Asian plates and "out-of-this-world" cocktails "take you away from the woes of the day" at this "beautiful" chainlet of "vaguely Singaporean" sisters in Downtown's Westfield Centre and south of SF; the "small dishes" can "add up", and sometimes it seems the "modellike" waitresses "weren't hired for their talent", but "young" "hipsters" who aren't fazed by the "pounding music" and "clubbing atmosphere" "keep going back for more"; N.B. the Palo Alto branch is separately owned.

"Sweet memories" are made at this "sleek-in-every-way" Vietnamese whose combo of "arty decor", "gracious service" and "brilliant" Southeast Asian small plates "intended for sharing" adds up to "one of Palo Alto's best places to eat"; "young Silicon Valley professionals" like to happy-hour at the "long", "lively" bar, and while budgeteers bemoan it's "best when you aren't footing the bill", that's the cost of "sophistication with a heart" – and besides, "you get cooler just eating here."

An "innovative" menu of "excellent" "nouveau" Vietnamese vittles sets apart this "hip" duo with an "upscale" vibe; the "trendy" Marina branch draws a "fun-loving crowd" and the "beautiful" Palo Alto location boasts "outdoor seating for warmer nights", making both of them "lively", "date-friendly" destinations.

"It's all about the burgers and beer" – and "mmm . . . garlic fries" say fans of this Embarcadero link in the midpriced "all-American" brewery chain (with outposts in Palo Alto and San Jose); it's a "dependable" place to "get the party started" during the "super-crowded happy hour" and the "patio overlooking the Bay Bridge" is "stunning", but critics who complain about a "corporate" feel and "loud single-mingle scene" maintain there are "better choices."

The "charming" courtyard conjures up "the French Quarter", while the "cozy lounge rooms" rock "New Orleans voodoo decor" at this midpriced "off-the-hook" Palo Altan that's perpetually "packed" with "Peninsula yuppies" and "Stanford kids"; "chow down" on the "Cajun-Creole–style" fare all you like, but "be careful" with the "potent" Hurricanes advise aficionados, who promise it's a "blast" "if you can bear the noise."

"Have an island drink and daydream" of Polynesia propose partisans of these "welcoming" "tiki-tacky" "nostalgic classics" in Emeryville and Palo Alto, two links in an international chain where the "pricey", "foofy drinks" are "fine" and "potent" and the "Pacific Island–chic pupu platters" are "delish"; P.S. there's a "terrific" "waterfront view" from the East Bay outpost.
