MacArthur Park Restaurant and Bar - Palo Alto (CA)

5 /5 Auintard Henderson: The current owner Faz gave me a grand tour of the facility, and I was impressed with the history in heritage of this venue, along with the current use from an army depot to a critically acclaimed neighborhood eatery in the shadow of Stanford University

4 /5 Kelly Drake: The food was good but lacked flavor and needed spicing. The ribs were very good, as was the pecan pie. The shrimp were good, and the sauce for the shrimp was excellent. Parking was terrible. The streets to get to the restraunt were a pain. The first room we were seated in was very cold!! The next room was warmer but was very isolated.

4 /5 Reese Shulman: I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 25 years. I’ve come for holiday buffets, celebrated special occasions, and had casual meals at the bar. MacArthur Park is always warm and cozy. The quality of the food isn’t as good as it used to be, but is still tasty. I also miss the valet parking.

5 /5 Iko Nakari: The service from the staff was excellent. They promptly refilled our drinks as soon as they were empty and also quickly brought us seconds of delicious, freshly baked bread. I had the steak, which was well-aged and very flavorful.

1 /5 Sinclaire Hicks: Hosted a private dinner here for 20 doctors and they never notified me that they were in the middle of renovations. It was so embarrassing for all of my guests. We had to tell them to stop drilling so we could hear ourselves. I suggested they offer a $25 gift certificate to each guest but was refused. The entire experience was awful and totally avoidable if they had AT ANY POINT contacted us to let us know of the inconvenience. Poor management! And the food was subpar.
