Hard to get reservation was truly worth it. The Calamari starter was ok, but then the main meals were all very good. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff competent and cheery, and the whole event was a joy. We all left happy and wanting to come back...

Had a great time here with a friend for lunch on an August weekday. Had a Croque Madam and Steak Frites. Both were ample sized, and everything was cooked perfectly.It was a nice summer day, the front was open, and most sitting outside or near the door, with a great breeze. Most were on the sidewalk or near the front.Service was great. Orders came in several minutes, and they didn't push us to leave.Definitely would recommend for French food. Delicious.

Zola is one of Palo Alto's best restaurants. French bistro classics served up perfectly prepared. The steak tartare was spectacular equaling the meal I recently enjoyed at Thomas Keller's. Service is outstanding. One tip, avoid sitting at the high table with bar stools. It works OK for a drink or a snack but is positively horrid for a 2-hour dinner and you'll leave with a sore back.

Pastis continues to be one of my favorite French restaurants in the area. The atmosphere is relaxed and homey and the food is soooo good. The mussels are still great as are the french fries that accompany them. Yum, yum.We had gone to California Street to eat a different restaurant but when we saw the long line, we automatically decided to eat at Pastis. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long.
