The Sand Hill Kitchen - Menlo Park, California

I was really excited to discover this place as it's very hidden away. They have a cute outdoor patio but that's the highlights. I unfortunately found the food very underwhelming. I was only there for lunch but their salad with salmon had canned salmon on it. Not what expected. The same on the salmon sandwich. We had expected fresh salmon for the prices and based on the description. I would go back for a quiet patio lunch but not for the food.

The food was absolutely delicious. My wife and I took our three month old baby there for breakfast one morning and everything was delicious! Especially the coffee! The place is very well designed with high-end tables and chairs and decorations. The overall feel of the building on the inside and out is well thought of plan and placed well

Our only complaint was our waitress. She seemed like she could give a rip about anything. When asking some simple questions about the items on the menu she practically rolled her eyes to go ask the chef some questions. When we were finished with our meal, she came back with the check and we asked her if we could have another coffee, and I swear that I was either pulling her teeth or torturing her by asking for another coffee. She kind of grunted and slowly walked back to get what we had asked for. Our whole overall experience would have been awesome if it was not for the service. I highly recommend finding new help.

Also, there were only six customers total in the entire place (including my wife, and I ) when we were there. She was not being overworked or overwhelmed…. she literally hated every moment of being there from what we could tell.

Nice place to have brunch. Affordable prices and good portions of food. Ingredients are fresh and coffee tastes delicious too. We had Club Sandwich and Salmon Salad Sandwich. Both tasted so good. Lemonade, in the other hand, was actually a bit too sour. Good vibes and I love the interior. Staff are so friendly too. They open only till 2pm or 3pm. So check the time before you go. There is a big parking lot and many super fast chargers for electric cars. Overall, everything was nice. We will definitely come back again.

True hidden gem buried deep in an office park off kajillionaire row aka Sand Hill Road. As the saying goes, follow the money...errr, in this case, follow it AND where it eats. What a tasty, pleasant surprise...this small cafe punches way above its weight. Burgers, sandwiches, pastries, salads, coffee...and maybe the best fries in all of the Peninsula (is that possible?!). Everything is delicious but special shout out for the homemade pimento cheese & saltines appetizer which you just don't find around these parts and done right. Highly recommend, but keep in mind it's only open weekdays for breakfast & lunch as it primarily serves the area workers & business park tenants.

The setting balances both cozy and modern. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and the food was excellent. Would definitely recommend adding some of their fries to your order, they are exceptional.

I’ve come several times for lunch, the food is always great - flavorful and seasonal. I booked a private dinner, and was blown away at the menu, service, creative flavors and atmosphere. One of the best dinners I have had in a decade, 10/10!

Relaxed ambience with lot of seating indoor and outdoor ! Loved the food with kambucha drinks. We had the salmon salad sandwich and the chicken paillard which were really good

Very relaxing setting with excellent food. The lamb burger & Bodega Sandwich were rather tasty! Fast and friendly service. I would recommend this place!
