Flea Street

The 15 Best Restaurants in Menlo Park - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Open for over 40 years, Flea Street has been doing the farm-to-table thing since before it was even called that. Highlights of their menu, which changes frequently, include the scallop crudo, brightened by guajillo and citrus, and the pistachio and fennel-crusted lamb chop with a sweet-spicy habanero nectar. For mains, the housemade pasta carbonara with guanciale and spring peas is decadent without being heavy, and the slow-braised grass-fed short rib is full-throttle comfort. The dining room’s soft lighting makes this warm and cozy space ideal for a mellow date night or the kind of long, lingering meal with an old friend where you take turns catching up between glasses of pinot." - gabi moskowitz
