Cutting Edge Cuisine 💯 . Ethel’s Fancy is the latest restaurant opening in downtown Palo Alto and Chef Scott Nishiyama’s pedigree from NYC’s Daniel and Napa’s French Laundry ensures that reservations have been popular . The bright and open space has numerous table tops including a private space as well as bar seating . The menu is very accessible and reminds me of State Bird Provisions where the various dish size categories are all meant to be shared . We loved the Japanese-influenced flavors and tried a wide array of items that are all modern, creative and novel more than stereotypical Asian fusion: in many ways, reflective of California cuisine . 📷 Full Belly Farms Cucumbers $8 ~nori caper dressing, horseradish / Toasted Coconut Fritters $16 ~ Wagyu beef, grilled peppercorn / Pears $8.00 / Milk Bread from the Hearth $12 ~ sweet potato & brown butter dip / Crispy Pork Belly $19 ~ burrata, Brussel sprouts, miso caramel / Duck & Crystallized Ginger Dumplings $20 ~ braised Swiss chard / Koshikari Rice $22 ~ hokkaido scallops, schmaltz pesto, beech mushroooms / Five Dot Ranch New York Strip $70 ~ salt & pepper maitake mushrooms, basil oyster vinaigrette / Almond Cookie Soft Serve $12 /Malted Milk Chocolate Fondue $18 . 📍Ethel’s Fancy (Palo Alto, CA) . #eatersf #paloaltoeats #sharedplates #michelin #downtownPA #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feed feed #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Ethel's Fancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHjTCsJqQC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Georgian Cuisine . As one of the Bay Area’s only Georgian restaurants, Bevri now has two locations: one in Palo Alto and their newest location in Los Altos . I stopped by the restaurant to try their unique and signature cuisine including their Khinkaki dumplings and their khachapuri . Both items are among their most ordered items and given the lesser known cuisine one can’t help but compare it to more well known dishes . The Khinkali dumplings are most frequently compared to Xiao long Bao or Chinese soup dumplings but I think that comparison is unfair. Khinkali have a much thicker skin and a trademark thick top that is used as a handle when eating the dumplings and that often isn’t eaten to keep track of how many dumplings one has consumed . The flavors are different as well with contrasting spices and meat mix that is more lean (available in pork + beef or lamb) . The Khachapuri fares better and is most often compared to pizza as it consists of oven baked bread and plentiful cheese . The egg yolk and butter topping on the still hot entree lends it an air of fanciful ness beyond that of most pizza and it’s best eaten hot . All in all, a novel experience best for a leisurely meal as all items are made to order . 📷 Khankali Dumplings Pork & Beef 5/8 pcs $20/$30 / Khachapuri Adjaruli $21 ~ capture our sun in our cheesiest boat and set your sail . 📍Bevri (Palo Alto, CA) . #paloaltoeats #yelpbayarea #georgiancuisine #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #globaleats #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Bevri) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChsyWerP4e1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Elevated Indian Cuisine 💯 . Ettan is a gorgeous space with two level and both beautifully decorated indoor and outdoor space . But even more spectacular than the ambiance is the wonderful cuisine . I ordered takeout from Ettan during the pandemic but the dine-in experience is another level . Thanks to our server Sumit who was spot on with so many of the recommendations from the drinks to one of the best desserts I’ve had this year . The flavors are bold and they don’t shy away from the spice preferring authentic flavors versus muting for a Western palate . We loved the monkey bread and black cod which were unlike any version of the dish I’ve had before . Finally the light passion fruit dessert is a combination of flavored lychee milk ice, meringue and berries . 📷 Passion Fruit $12 ~ lychee milk ice, berries, meringue / Voodootini $17 ~ Vodka, St. Germain, Dry Curacao, Fire Bitters, Lemon, Ginger Ale / Hype $16 ~ Gin, Lemon, Chili Agave, Basil / Cast Iron "Monkey Buns" $13 ~ Signature Bread Rolls, Butter And Eggplant Chutney / Sesame Leaf $15 ~ Chaat Flavors on Sesame Leaves with Mango, Chickpea Crumble, Sesame Brittle and Cilantro / Black Cod $45 ~ Shallot Crust, Coconut Rice and Travancore Shrimp Curry . 📍Ettan (Palo Alto, CA) . #paloaltoeats #yelpbayarea #indiancuisine #eatersf #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #globaleats #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Ettan) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chf9-OfvMiO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy hour at @nolapaloalto is back! And what's great is that it's for the whole restaurant and not just the bar area. It's always been one of the busiest spots for HH so definitely looking forward to coming back again and get some draanks. Just stopped by for a quick dinner the other night, and these are the Little Clovers which are Angus beef sliders. $10 for 4 sliders which are juicy on that pillowy roll. #nolaspaloalto #nolaspa #sliders #paloaltoeats #downtownpa (at NOLA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuYnJoFuk2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Surf or Turf . Any angle you look, the Wagyu Tomahawk and Maine Lobster surf and turf is 🔥 [swipe 👈 for more views] . They brought out the dish for presentation and then took it back to expertly slice and divide . The Wagyu was perfectly medium rare and the lobster so delicious . 📷 Wagyu Tomahawk and Maine Whole Lobster Surf and Turf . 📍The Sea by Alexander’s Steakhouse (Palo Alto, CA) . #instafood #foodstagram #yelpbayarea #paloaltoeats #eatersf #steak #seafood #steakhouse #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feedfeed #eeeeeats #foodpics #eeeeeats #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography (at The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzvmNujV3w/?utm_medium=tumblr

Also @killiney_kopitiampa's days toast is worth going back to for me. Their kaya jam is like custard and eat bite is filled with it and butter. Mm mm good. The bread is chewier and on the firm side, it's not milk bread. Just an fyi to set expectations. 🍞 #paloaltoeats #killineykopitiam #kaya #kayatoast #singaporefood (at Killiney Kopitiam Palo Alto) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGCALhujj_x/?igshid=cta7eboduxo0
