One of the best dining experiences ever. We sampled several starters which were ample and delicious. We split the salad, a wedge with a perfectly balance vinaigrette that had hints of fennel plus bacon, blue cheese, and egg. We split the main, wild salmon deep fried but not greasy at all and slightly rare. The Merry Edwards Pinot Noir called me back for a second glass. A small band treated us to hits from Dylan, The Birds, and Leonard Cohen, all freshly interpreted. The owner and founder greeted us as did other lovely guests. They are artists from curating the ingredients and wines to prep. Note to self - try their Bloody Mary next time. Expensive and worth it. Lucky for me, a really quiet table, in an alcove. (hard of hearing

This place is def on the top of our list of restaurants. Pricey, but the quality of food is great. We had a reservation at 5:45pm on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too busy when we arrived; however, that quickly changed as the night progressed. We appreciated the lady at the front on her attempt to get us an outdoor table, but after a "no" then "yes" then "no" again, we ended up w/ just keeping our table inside. The distance of each table was perfect, as that allows privacy for each table. Based on our experience, some places, esp for tables of two's are arranged so closely together that at some point, it just becomes awkward to hear other ppl's conversation and vice versa. FYI, we sat just right behind the main entrance door, next to the glass window and close to the kitchen (which wasn't loud at all). Our waiter was extremely friendly, polite, attentive, and knowledgeable. We had ordered a couple of appetizers and entrees and shared a dessert, all of which were perfectly seasoned (less if anything) and Michelin plated. For appetizers, we ordered: McFarland Smoked Trout (a bit basic) and Grass Fed Steak Tartar. For entrees, we ordered: House Made Ricotta Chive Gnocchi (delicious w/o it being overpowering. One of the best dishes I've had), and Pasture Raised Bone-In Pork Chop (similar to something at Selby's and this was by far way better, hands down). For dessert, we ordered: Just Peachy. I don't even know what to say about this. It tastes just as good as it looks. Get it if you can. We also had an opportunity to chat w/ the owner and that was a nice addition to our dinner. Honestly, it kinda reminds me of chef Ramsey a little bit. It shows a lot about their character and their love/passion for the food they create and the restaurant they share w/ people. I appreciated that. Their vegetables are fresh and home grown and you can definitely taste that. Their menu changes so if you've never been here, I recommend it.

I hadn't been in many years and went recently. Was very happy to see that the place hadn't changed. Delicious food and lovely ambiance. Very relaxing and laid back. Service is excellent. It's spendy but not crazy for the Bay Area. Nice special occasion restaurant.

I can't say enough about the superb service and quality of the food. What a beautiful atmosphere. The melt-in-your-mouth smoked trout with tzatziki sauce was out of this world! The star of the night was the pork chop served over a delicate and delicious bed of risotto. The rock fish with saffron sauce was to die for. The drinks were amazing and had a beautiful presentation. Service was exceptional as ever. Our servers, Angel, José, Alonso, Cristy, Julio and Eloy were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The owner, Jesse came by our table and was genuinely interested in our comfort and well being. The desserts were also delicious! 10 out of 10 recommend!

My wife and I dined at Flea Street Cafe in Menlo Park on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy, and our reservations made check-in easy. We chose to dine outside, which set a lovely mood for the evening. Our server, Anthony, was very attentive and provided excellent customer service, enhancing our overall experience. We started with the Bees Knees cocktail, which was refreshing and paired well with our meal, especially on a warm night. For appetizers, we had the Hokkaido Scallop Crudo and the Grass-fed Steak Tartare. The scallop crudo was interesting and delightful, featuring a unique pairing that was absolutely delicious. The steak tartare was equally amazing and flavorful. We also ordered oysters, which were a nice finish to our starters. For the main course, my wife had the pork chop, and I had the chicken. Both dishes were flavorful and beautifully plated. Our second drink, the Cucumber Cooler, was another refreshing choice that complemented our meals perfectly. For dessert, we enjoyed the Profiteroles and the Chocolate Lovers. The Profiteroles tasted like an elevated Snickers bar, while the Chocolate Lovers dessert was light, airy, and delicious. Overall, our experience at Flea Street Cafe was amazing. For anyone who loves dining out, I highly recommend this restaurant. Ignore the 1- and 2-star reviews; those people clearly don't know what good food is.

I recently crossed this restaurant off my bucket-list as part of a graduation dinner. Lovely ambiance - especially our outside booth, attentive service, and delicious and creative drinks. I love how their menu is built around the seasonality and strengths of local farms, which they list by name on the menu. I ordered the house negroni, which was solid. For an appetizer, I went with Yelp's recommendation of the smoked trout - thank you all, this was the right move. The basket of bread and biscuits with fancy butter was a delight. I went with the vegetarian sampler - a four item set of heirloom beans with pesto, an asparagus risotto, a gnocchi with morels and peas (this was the BEST dish of the night!), and a carrot tartlet with fava puree (close contender for favorite). We were stuffed but split a dessert anyway - it's strawberry season so the strawberry lavender shortcake was the clear choice. They also brought a plate of fresh, warm cookies with the check - which I actually still have in a take home box to try later today (like I said, we were FULL full even before the shortcake). Definitely excited to return when the seasons change to see what's next on the rotating menu!

Loved the cozy local vibes at this restaurant! The staff were very friendly and attentive the whole time too. The free biscuits for appetizers were divine. Spread some ribbon butter and sprinkle a little bit of salt and it's perfection. I wanted to ask for more but was too shy lol. We ordered the rack of lamb as an appetizer - we thought it would be too small but it was just the perfect size given its richness. It was amazing. For entrees, we ordered the short ribs and risotto. The short ribs melts in your mouth and was very tasty. The risotto was almost too rich for my taste. To be honest it was not my favorite because of the earthy flavors but it was still good. Definitely coming back to try other menu items since we really enjoyed our time.

It's been about 25+ years since I last visited Flea Street and happy to make a return visit. Food is delicious and always changing based on the season and highlighting local products. When you dine at Flea Street you taste the freshness of each ingredient and how well they complement each component. :: Brussel sprouts - crispy, with pomegranate, butternut squash and creaminess from the pecorino - probably one of the best I've had at a restaurant. :: Risotto - creamy rich, flavorful with parsnip and Parmesan ($39) - delicious and decadent...and a bit extravagant with no protein :: Miso Black Cod - perfectly cooked, flaky, with a light miso broth. :: Date Cake - when received it was a bit laughable as it was literally a small, ramekin-sized cake cut in half and presented on the plate. It was delicious and not overly sweet but for $18 was expecting a bit more. Food, service and ambiance wonderful but definitely an indulgence and priced for the affluent area of tech companies and for me...well, when I redeem my Costco Rewards Certificate! Price/person with the above and drinks, above, healthy living tax and added 20% (you can add more if you'd like) is about $120/person. Lot parking available and gets busy by 630pm

Flea Street is such a warm and inviting restaurant with amazing food that I would describe as Farm to Table Californian. They have ample vegetarian options also. Bryan said they are updating their dessert menu. They change up their menu to include seasonal item as that are locally sourced. This is a great date place, especially when on a date with my friends and family. Big bonus points for a sophisticated and inclusive non alcoholic drink menu. As a non drinker I appreciate this so much. The service is impeccable and reminds me of Las Vegas in that one never needs to ask for a drink to be filled, or a plate to be cleared. I'll be back, perhaps one day with a romantic special someone.
