I went to lunch at the new St. Michael's Alley on Thursday. It was amazing. The new space has a bar, and casual tables, the colors are warm and inviting. The owners are were there to answered many questions my husband had about the 300 yr. old walnut tree made into the bar and the beautiful farmhouse windows. We started with the Wild Mushroom Cake with creamy garlic herb sauce. Fantastic, I had the Tossed Baby Green Salad with warm walnuts, and warm herb encrusted goat cheese, dried cranberries. The salad was delicious and filling. The cold crisp greens with the warm goat cheese was perfect. My hubby had a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. A bit different than usual with a bacon taste, big clams and potato, very good but different. He followed with a grilled chicken sandwich with prosciutto and fontina cheese on sour dough. Again, a mixture of texture and taste that works. We look forward to dinner next and having drinks on the new patio. Well worth the wait St. Michael's Alley. Good job we will be back with friends.

My favorite brunch place in Palo Alto. I usually get the eggs benedict and blue monkey pancakes. They can get kind of crowded though, so you may want to call ahead and get a reservation. They also have a lot of vegetarian options.

This small restaurant is great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I have come here for lunch numerous times and their specials are always wonderful. Their soups are wonderful and their tuna sandwich is always a winner. The staff is friendly, sometimes overly friendly but are very attentive. Their desert sorbets are delicious. I know that whatever I order will be great and that is why I love coming here. I never have to worry about not liking my food.
