Farm-to-table Californian cuisine with seasonal dishes and craft cocktails
"This classic “café” retains the feeling of being in a house, with dining areas distributed throughout. Interesting artwork adorns each of these rooms, simply adding to the sense of intimacy, not unlike the warm and inviting front bar area, filled with friendly banter and soft tunes.The team ensures that each item from this kitchen is well conceived and adheres to California’s farm-to-table ethos. Everything on this seasonally driven menu strives to emphasize freshness, starting with the warm and buttery biscuits that welcome you to your table. Don't miss the shell bean soup featuring a braised tomato broth complete with summery flavors." - Michelin Inspector
"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

"The Menlo Park restaurant has co-founded Meals of Gratitude, an organization providing meals to those working on the frontline." - team infatuation
"I’m following pastry chef Anthony Le’s rise at Menlo Park’s Flea Street, where he’s joined chef and general manager Bryan Thuerk in keeping the longtime neighborhood staple on Michelin’s radar; this weekend he’s rolling out a blackberry sesame cheese tart inspired by peanut-butter-and-jelly sandos and his background cooking Japanese cuisine. It won’t be cheap, but watching Le ascend the ranks and trying his indulgent creations along the way will be worth every penny." - Lauren Saria
