Thyme - Palo Alto (CA)

5 /5 Eyal Shahar: A perfect place for a romantic date. Awesome food (we went for 4 starters And 2 deserts), easy listening music, quiet, and a friendly waiter, Maurizio. My favorites: scallops with caviar, roasted beets, goat cheese with dried apricot.

5 /5 Natalie Brown: I’ll start off this review by saying- this is precisely how I found this secret gem, I scoured for hours for best online reviews and yes, I actually do read them. So with that, I implore you to have the patience to do the same, or in the very least take a chance on this place, and I guarantee you, you won’t regret it! The staff are so kind and helpful, not pretentious as predicted when you look at the menu and location of a boutique restaurant. I will admit where I went wrong that evening was the rookie mistake of indulging in the fresh warm bread, I should have saved my stomach for the several courses that were yet to come. We turned the two hour evening into a four hour evening and no one rushed us! I recommend EVERYTHING WE ORDERED: the roasted beet and asparagus salad Avocado and grapefruit micro green salad Risotto with mushrooms and parm Pan seared salmon salmon with potato and picked papaya and leek relish (so creative and delish), but I looked at the steak as well as the vegetarian dish and I knew there was no wrong choice, but yet I wanted to try them all. In this instance, I knew I’d need to come back with my girlfriends, just so we could eat off each others plates and I could try even more. I’m a dessert fein as picky as they come and they nailed the warm apple tart with custard! We also tried the orange and olive oil cake YUM!!! Well, the secret is officially out, and it’s about Thyme people found this gem like we did! (Yup, couldn’t resist). Such a great name, why not?! Enjoy- and tell them Natalie sent you!! YOU ARE WELCOME :)

5 /5 Sascha Warner: Had the seared scallops and the lamb. Husband had the crab cakes. Wonderful!!!! Loved the waiter! Went for our anniversary and was totally worth it. Will be back again.

5 /5 Renata Martin: Best food I have had in Palo Alto!! The lamb was so tender; definitely the best I’ve had. The dessert was a perfect end to the meal (warm apple tart with delicious custard), and the wine paired great. The vibe is relaxed and simple. Menu is small, but that’s because everything on it is cooked perfectly. Cant go wrong with anything here. Highly recommend.
