Horsefeather Palo Alto

Tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday in Town & Country, Palo Alto. They've only been open for about a month. We went when they opened at 4pm and decided to sit at the bar. It wasn't busy at the time, but when we left it was crowded. The vibe is really nice. The three bartenders Ray, CK, and Alex were outstanding, and they made excellent cocktails. It was really fun to interact with them. For dinner, we shared the Duck Fat Fries. The fries were good, but we've had better. Maybe it's just our taste, so give them a try. We had the Prawns Tacos, and you get three. We also had the Risotto Alla Milanese. The tacos were really delicious! The Risotto was the best that I've had in a long time! We would definitely have these again, but we want to try other items next time. I would highly recommend trying Horsefeather in Palo Alto!!

Our first visit to this newly opened bar at Town & Country. Sister bar to the one in SFO. our server Ingrid was very helpful . We ordered the duck fat fries and the roasted Cauliflower. I had the Laughing Monk Holy Ghost Pilsner which was on tap and was very light and refreshing. My friend had the Goodnight Solitaire a gin drink which was good too. We had the Roasted beet salad and the Cochinita Pibil Tacos , 3 soft tacos with roasted pork. For desert we shared the chocolate cake with Figs which was moist and delicious

Just found out that the renowned SF Nopa cocktail bar, Horsefeather, had recently opened a new location at the back end of Town & Country Village in Palo Alto. After a work meeting, I stopped by with a co-worker to scope it out off-hours. After we found a parking spot behind Trader Joe's, we walked back toward Horsefeather, which had big crystal clear windows out front. Upon entering, it feels like a groovy 70s-style interior with wood paneling from ceiling to the floor and bright yellow stained glass panels. The service was very friendly and welcoming. We placed an order to share the Double Cheeseburger and Red Beets & Strawberries salad. For cocktails, the Lowrider (hibiscus mezcal, cucumber, agave, fresh lime) caught my eye and my co-worker ordered Birds of a Feather (barbados rum, blood orange aperitif, lime leaf, pineapple gomme, black cardamom, fresh lime). The Lowrider was an excellent choice; it had a deep crimson color garnished with three razor thin slices of cucumber. The flavor was sublime and refreshing with floral citrus notes. My co-worker enjoyed his Birds of a Feather. I may try that or the Breakfast Punch on my next visit. They do have some quality beers on draft such as Laughing Monk Pilsner, Almanac Sournova, Dkkaebier Yuza Blonde and some red and white wines. There are also three mocktails available for non-alcohol drinkers. The entrees of Double Cheeseburger and Red Beets & Strawberries arrived not long after, nicely plated. The cheeseburger had a heaping mound of caramelized onions and melted cheddar stacked on top of two grilled patties, which were in between the brioche buns. It was nicely cut in half for us to share. It is served with a little dish of sweet pickles and a side salad with dijon vinaigrette. The Red Beets & Strawberries is served on a bed of arugula, pistachio ailade, spicy chevre and roasted apple vinaigrette. The beets have that perfect dense texture and muted sweetness. It's sizeable enough to be a light meal. There are quite a few other menu items that I'd like to try such as the Cochinita Pibil Tacos and Risotto Alla Milanese, but that will have to wait for another day. For now, I'm excited that the Peninsula & South Bay community has one of the top SF cocktail bars closer to home. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

Horsefeather is the latest upscale restaurant to land in Palo Alto’s Town & Country Village. It takes over the former spot of Bar Method and is nearby the nook of casual dining spots including Oren’s Hummus, Roost and Roast, and Sushi House. The restaurant is table service and is open for both lunch and dinner. We stopped by for lunch and it’s a great menu featuring both cocktails, interesting appetizers and diverse main courses. Pricing is moderately expensive (entrees $20-30) and probably higher than the high school demographic that often dines at the more casual options nearby. This is Horsefeather’s second branch and the new American cuisine is more an alternative to the nearby upscale Teleferic Barcelona. We tried a sampling of dishes and everything came out timely with solid portions. The fried chicken is solid and the risotto was well done. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends or to stop by when shopping at Trader Joe’s and I’m sure it will do well. 📷 Duck Fat Fries ~ $11 / Fried Chicken & Three $30 / Risotto Alla Milanese $24 Reservations are recommended although not required. Dining is indoor only. Credit cards accepted including American Express.

I tried horsefeather for the first time many years ago in SF, and I'm so glad they opened up another location further south! The duck fat fries were delicious!! We also tried the Korean chicken wings, the double cheeseburger, the ahi tuna, and yuzu custard for dessert. I'd skip the tuna, but everything else was worth trying. A bit pricey as expected in Palo Alto, but I'd go back to try some other dishes and drinks!

We walked in without a reservation around 4 o'clock on Friday and by the time we exited at 5:30, the whole place was buzzing with diners. Wonderful establishment with delicious food, warm service and an inviting atmosphere. We were a party of three and ordered Korean chicken wings, cauliflower appetizer, seared tuna entree, risotto Milanese and mocktails. The bill came to $210 including service, which we thought was quite reasonable.

Horsefeather Palo Alto is incredible! You can tell they put a lot of thought into the design of the place. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend their braised short rib, burger, and duck fat fries. They had great cocktails, and a great n/a cocktail list to enjoy as well. The staff were kind and attentive. Definitely coming back!

I went to this place yesterday with a group of friends and thought, "finally an SF experience in the Peninsula" to celebrate special occasions that's also got great comfort food at very reasonable prices to go once a week or two! Love T&C and this location especially because parking is easiest where this place is. The dishes we all tried together were super tasty, plenty of healthy options and again, a great mix of everyday comfort food that's elevated to very refined options that were more in line with high end restaurants and prices. Had a non-alcoholic cocktail that was super yummy, very light and not too sweet. The pineapple cake dessert was out of this world. Every detail in this place was impeccable from the cool water glasses to the glass bottle diet coke. Definitely a great place for dates, special occasions or just go for a good family meal every week or two. Service was outstanding with great attention to the table without being disruptive and LOVE that the owners go out of their way to provide benefits to the staff.

Amazing duck oil fries, good service, very impressive vibe, a must-go around Stanford campus.

I love horsefeather. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. The risotto is especially delicious. Try every drink while you're there.

Great service. Delicious food and drink. Beautiful ambiance! One of the best burger's I've had in the bay area. Highly recommend!

Our party of three came on a weeknight without a reservation and we were able to choose to grab one of the two walk-in tables or sit at the counter. We opted for the table and started ordering away! The cocktails were delicious! For apps, we ordered the duck fat fries and roasted cauliflower. Loved both! For mains, we ordered the miso linguini, double cheeseburger, and the risotto alla Milanese. The miso linguini was our favorite of the few and came in a great sized portion. The double cheeseburger came with a small side of pickles and side salad, and the onions added just a nice touch of sweetness. Risotto alla Milanese was topped with mushrooms and was my least favorite of the dishes, as it got cold quickly and the texture felt a bit thick soon after coming to our table. We ordered the yuzu custard for dessert, and it was nice and refreshing to end our meal. The interior was beautiful and trendy, set up with booths, lots of bar seating, and plenty of tables. Parking was also easy too, which was nice since this was located in Town and Country Village (near the Trader Joe's). Town and Country also offers free valet parking but with limited hours.

TLDR I really wanted to like this place but IDK that I can recommend it. The good: Staff was excellent, friendly and fast from the hostess to the waitstaff who kept on coming by to check on the room. Cocktails: very tasty! My wife liked her elevated gin martini, and the pineapple punch was fruity and bright! Nice ambiance, I love what y'all did with this oddball spot at Town & Country. And the Korean wings, tasty, a bit pricey as were the $18 cocktails but this is Palo Alto. Ok what I can't forgive is to have a dish called Duck Fat Fries and WTF where is the duck fat, in a "snow?" And what is all this nacho seasoning on the fries was there duck fat flavor under that? because it got buried if so. Way too much going on, this should have been a simple gimme home run snack, instead a forgettable IDK. Somewhere in that mid level as well was the miso linguini. I had high hopes -there's a group of Asian fusion restaurants in SoCal called Kei Concepts and they make something like this, a deceptively simple fusion of great pasta and wonderful Asian flavors. But this was not that. Again so much too much going on. Interesting but I could not describe how it tasted or why. So, a great setting, and as a new place I think they got the logistics worked out! But ooof the dishes we tried just underwhelmed, sorry.

TLDR: 4/5 soft opening Great service, cool and cozy interior design, menu items are overall good, excited to see how the restaurant evolves over time as they prepare for a grand opening. I'm wishing best of luck on their future success! Would come back to try items I wasn't able too, especially the ganache cake. Service: 5/5 We walked up without a reservation and the hostess and manager were both very accommodating. Our bartender and server was awesome too, super nice and answered any questions we had. The manager was so friendly, and all the FOH staff was awesome. Made me feel welcome and want to come back! Food: 4/5 Some good, some great. We ordered the duck fat fries, Korean crispy wings, beef roast, shrimp tacos, and whisky butter cake. Some I would not order again, not because it's bad or low quality, it's just more expensive than other competition. Cream Sherry Braised Beef Roast: 4.8/5 Loved how tender the beef roast was. Just melted when my fork dug in. The mash potatoes were great too. Simple and tasty. Mashed potatoes doesn't need to be some fancy thing! I also liked the salad too! The beef roast was probably my favorite dish. I just wish the flavor was a little more punchier? But that's my only criticism. Jumbo prawn tacos: 4.5/5 Really enjoyed the texture of the corn tortillas. I thought that the shrimp was cooked just right. I liked the combination of the melted havarti cheese and the pickled onions. Also the salsa verde was delicious! Really fresh and bright. I would order this again. Oh one thing. I did not like the coleslaw (?) on the side. And normally I love a sour pickled side dish :( I wish they would improve this. Anyways, the tacos remind me of my favorite shrimp tacos in San Diego. Red Beets & Strawberries: 4.8/5 Ripe strawberries, earthy beets, with a delicious vinaigrette! I would totally order this again. Bonus points for beautiful presentation. Whiskey Butter Cake: 4/5 I'm a sucker for any butter cake. The good - moist tender inside, the chantilly cream was smooth and not too sweet. Was worried about a super strong whiskey flavor but it was really subtle? Can't really complain too much about that. Presentation was cute too. The bad - wish the pineapple marmalade was more marmalade-y? It was more like separate small diced pineapples rather than a jammy marmalade. But maybe that's personal preference. I also wish the components were better incorporated together rather than 3 separate things. But was it a good cake? Yes. It was, very moist tender and sweet but not sickly sweet. Duck fat fries: 3/5. Good, not bad. Wouldn't order again. The fries were cooked well, I wish it was a little bit crispier. I liked the seasoning on it. The duck fat snow on top is cool idea! Not sure what the addition added to the experience. Korean crispy wings: 3/5. Again, good not bad. If I never had Korean wings before this would be amazing. Juicy meat, crispy but saucy. But again, there are a bunch of Korean fried chicken spots in the Bay Area that can do more for less cost. Ambiance: 5/5 I love the japandi inspired interior (lol if I got the inspiration wrong). It's quite different from the other restaurants in Palo Alto. The interior design is great and it's worth visiting for the vibe alone. It's warm and cozy but feels modern and sophisticated! We sat at the bar and I loved looking at the liquor bottles all neatly displayed.

Daywalker cocktail was delicious Plant-based Mango lime "ceviche" (pea) was amazing. Giant chunks of jicama, guacamole, mango and the flavors were chef's kiss. Huge portion of hot, juicy, sweet fried Chicken. Was not a fan of the corn, slaw and Mac and cheese sides. Attentive service. Thanks!

Food (4/5) For our party of two, we got the Chopped Romaine & Stone Fruit (5/5), Duck Fat Fries (5/5), Miso Linguini (4/5) with side of Lemon Butter Prawns (4/5) and Cream Sherry Braised Beef Roast (4/5). The Chopped Romaine & Stone Fruit ($18) was delicious and fresh and mixed wonderfully, the puffed quinoa adding a fun textural element. The Duck Fat Fries ($11) were yummy, no issues. My Miso Linguini ($26) and side of Prawns ($12) were good, but the linguini was very very savory and salty. I know dash and miso cream can definitely increase the saltiness, but I wish it was balanced better. I tried the Cream Sherry Braised Beef Roast ($36) which was fine, but low-key giving airplane beef stew vibes. Our server recommended the Birds of a Feather ($18) which was yummy! Sweet but not too sweet. Also tried the dirty martini which was very good. Price (3/5) Each entree is a minimum $20 and up and cocktails are $18. I know this is the Bay Area but it's still on the higher end imo. I don't feel like my entree and shrimp is worth the total $38. There is an additional employee living surcharge (specific to Palo Alto I believe). Wait Time (4/5) We came on a Friday evening and was expecting a long wait. We were told 1 hour and so walked around the plaza only to receive a text Service (4/5) Our server was kind and efficient, no issues. We did have to flag down a separate server/bus person for water after we had placed our food orders. Ambiance (3/5) The inside was nice with wood paneling and felt like a nice environment. But it was very loud and could use some sound-insulating or isolating items. We were seated in a separate alcove off towards the back so it wasn't as loud. If you were seated in the main dining area you may have to raise your voice to be heard. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Parking/Access (4/5) Located in the Town & Country Plaza, the parking situation can be hectic but you can usually find spots near Trader Joe's or by Antoine's Cookie Shop on the far ends of the plaza. Entrance is accessible for wheelchair users (no button though). I would be back with someone who had never been here before, but I wouldn't choose this as a repeat place since there are many other places on my to-try list and it is definitely $$$ :)

Checked out the newest spot in T&C! Tucked behind Trader Joe's is this modern, casual eatery filled to the brim with all sorts of gastronomic eats & libations. While we didn't indulge in any hard bevvies, my friend & I made sure to order plenty of apps & mains to share. Eats: *Duck Fat Fries *Korean Crispy Wings *Miso Linguine *Side of Lemon Butter Prawns *Cream Sherry Beef Roast *Chocolate Fig Cake (on the house for the birthday girl) My faves were actually the apps. Wings were so saucy-licious and crisp! Sweet and slightly tangy from gochujang and comes with ranch. They even provided wet nappies for this because things will get messy. No regrets! Fries were phenomenal! Tossed in saffron and accompanied by curried ketchup. Sherry roast pulled apart so tenderly with merely a fork. Miso linguine had so many flavors going on with a delectable, almost undetectable cheesiness between pasta strands. Lemon butter prawns were plump and cooked well, could've actually used more lemon IMO and grilling them would've been top notch. Chocolate. Cake. Figs. Berries. Pomegranate. Not too sweet and the perfect ending to a sumptuous meal. Dollop of silky chocolate chantilly cream omg! *Waitress B brought all the good vibes! She made us feel so at ease and was extremely attentive. The place is new, they're busy, but service was still amazing! Make reservations online. I'll have to order a cocktail next time!

Casual yet classy I recently heard about this new restaurant and it's the perfect spot for a dinner with friends. The interior strikes a wonderful balance between polished elegance and a relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers a great variety of options. We started with the Jumbo Prawn Tacos, which were incredibly fresh, juicy, and had just the right amount of kick. For our main course, we tried the Beef Roast, one of their signature dishes. It was moist and tender, complemented by a side salad and creamy mashed potatoes. To end our meal, we indulged in the chocolate cake with fig ganache. It was rich and decadent, with a delightful mixup from the figs and pomegranate seeds.

Food: - my party had the burger, chicken, and risotto - thought the risotto was good, mildly flavored - burger was probably the best one - fried chicken was ok. I liked the Mac and cheese that came with it - duck fat fries were ok. nicely crispy though Service: - friendly, standard Ambiance: - fine, good for groups and maybe casual dates

Horsefeather has been on my list for a while now and their new location in Town & Country worked perfectly for me. The interior is inviting and well lit. For dishes, of course I had to try the duck fries, which are well worth the hype. We also had the Aguachile as an appetizer. Then for mains, we got the miso pasta, the burger and the fried chicken. All were absolutely delicious and the service was super attentive as well. To end the night, definitely recommend the chocolate ganache cake. Overall, Horsefeather will be a go to restaurant in the area.

Nestled in Palo Alto's Town & Country Village, Horsefeather is a new restaurant that comes from the team that also created the Horsefeather in Alamo Square SF. The area is located minutes away from Stanford, which makes it the perfect spot to go to off campus. The interior is open which makes it really easy to call a server, which is perfect because the service is extremely fast. Since Horsefeather in SF is famous for their cocktails, I had high expectations and they definitely did not disappoint. I asked my waiter about cocktails that used egg whites, and they recommended me their Moonshadow, which was somehow both refreshing and creamy. The drink is off the menu, so if you happen to read this review, definitely make sure to request it. The menu itself was extremely thoughtful, with a small but delicious menu. Conscious of the location they were in, they took classic comfort foods and added asian and latin influences without dominating the natural flavors, a subtle distinction that underlies all their items. For example, the duck fat fries had an umami seasoning that reminded me of the seasoning for Calbee potato chips. We also ordered the fried chicken and the beef roast. The beef roast was slow cooked to perfection and was incredibly tender. The sherry sauce was so good that my wife used it on everything, from the fries to the cauliflower that we ordered. It was also such a massive portion that I was able to take home and cook 2 meals from just the leftovers. We also ordered the fried chicken, which was super crispy. The thigh meat was extremely juicy, just the way I liked it. I also want to shout out the light sriracha honey which added a pleasant sweetness to the dish. The highlight of the meal was probably the dessert however. The chocolate cake was incredibly decadent and rich, but never felt too heavy because it was cranberries and fruit struck a great balance. My favorite dish of the night was the yuzu custard. It was just the perfect amount of creaminess and sweet. I legit wish I ordered three, including 1 to go. What a perfect treat. I am already planning my next trip and looking forward to coming back to trying the miso linguini and the burger. I suggest you make a plan as well because this place will be the talk of the town soon enough.

I was so excited to try this place including the cocktails! Service was great, I can't believe the place just opened. The restaurant feels big and airy, and is well laid out. The duck fat fries were so good and really crispy, how I like them, and the deviled eggs had great kimchi flavor and the crunchies on top added great texture. I loved the miso noodles with mushrooms, lots of umami. The fried chicken was good, but the sides it came with were just okay and maybe could have used some pickles or acid. I hope they start serving brunch soon! Can't wait to go back.

Good ambiance, terrible food! The duck fat fried were fine, but the roasted cauliflower was mushy, had no char, and was flavorless despite being drizzled with hot sauce. Also they gave us a tiny portion of ketchup and wanted to charge $2 for more. The fried chicken was under seasoned, while the Mac and cheese that came with it was over seasoned. The only good dish we had was the miso pasta which was full of umami flavor, and came with basil and mushrooms. Maybe drinks are their forte? Service was good.

Food, service, and ambiance +++++ Great NEW place to try! Everything we orderd was done well!

okay I'm never in this area but apparently they're new? looks super fancy inside lol but I guess everyone is still trying to figure out the pace bc everyone seemed a lil hesitant? not sure the right word, "undertrained" feels a lil harsh lol fried chicken & three - 7/10 breading on chicken was nice but the chicken had no taste lol, Mac & cheese was good, Cole slaw was avg, street corn avg miso linguini - 7/10 taste was not bad, just a bit too creamy/heavy for me la Aquitaine - 2/10 tasted no alcohol at all lol it was like a watered down le Croix - sorta tasted like white claw breakfast punch - 3/10 slightly more taste in this one but also no taste of alcohol side of seared chicken - 6/10 taste, was nice and tender and juicy but it had a lil kick to it that I wasn't expecting, also it was ridiculously overpriced at $8 holy lawd tip: maybe this is a rich people thing but if the waiter asks you for sparkling or still water, say neither bc you'll get charged for fancy ass water lol other tip: pricing for the cocktails felt normal but the quality of the cocktails is subpar, food pricing is on par w what you'd expect from the land of rich people?

We went for lunch on a weekday with friends . Senior birthday LUNCH. Great burger. Great "duck fat " fries (4 of us shared). I had beef brisket, mashed potatoes and a small salad. Very good. Beef- no knife needed. Very filling. All food was very good ; tasty and nicely presented. Definitely if in the area will go again . Not a cheap date but nice atmosphere and very good service and good value for the excellent quality. . E.g. service: gave us a free birthday dessert and a BD discount on our bill.

Service: the lady manager was really nice and attentive. She accommodated us well for being walk ins. Our actual server was nice but hard to find. I'm not sure what the service style is but it was kind of confusing. I ordered a drink at the bar and it didn't come until half way through my meal. Food: the miso noodles and some fruit salad were the best. The fries were also good but nothing special. Fried chicken was really good but the sides needed work (too much acid in both the Mac and cheese and esquite). Chocolate cake on the other hand, it was sad to say one of the worst I've had. Super cold and dry and it looked like they tried to make up for it with chocolate sauce. Ambiance: one of the best parts. Super relaxing and stylish. I think they need more time to figure things out but have great potential.

Visited Horsefeather with a party of four and had a great time overall. The drinks were outstanding - creative, well-balanced, and definitely a highlight of the night. We ordered a variety of items to share, and the standouts were the duck fat fries, Korean crispy wings, and the beef roast risotto, which was rich and flavorful. The risotto was nicely topped with mushrooms and had a satisfying texture. However, the sides didn't quite hit the mark for us. The corn, slaw, and mac and cheese were underwhelming and our least favorite part of the meal. They lacked the same punch and depth of flavor that the other dishes delivered. Overall, a great spot for drinks and a few standout dishes - just might skip the sides next time.

Awesome spot for a girls lunch! Trendy vibe with lots of great options to select from the menu. Service was great - friendly and not too rushed. They understood we'd need more than a minute with all the chit chat we had to get through before anyone even opened the menu!! You can't go wrong with any of their dishes... we tried the poke, which was delicious! The Pibil tacos were okay - thought the pulled pork was a bit on the dry side and the sauce could have been spicier, but worked out for those who don't like it hot! The fried chicken of course was everyone's favorite - so whether you get the main or the side, definitely order this. Will definitely be back!

It's been years since I went to the sf location, and I've been watching closely for the Palo Alto location opening. They're still in their soft opening, but we came about a week after they opened. Reservations are currently available on OpenTable, and I'm glad I made one because they were completely full by the time I left around 7pm. The new location is tucked away in the back corner of Town and Country. I despise parking here and getting out of this lot, but it actually wasn't so bad at 5pm on a Tuesday. Cocktails: - Morning glory: interesting with the sichuan peppercorn and candy cap mushroom, both of which were mild, but it was a well balanced drink - Birds of a feather: tiki but light - Breakfast punch: their house clarified milk punch with hints of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (not excessively heavy on the cinnamon) Food: we split everything family style - Duck fat fries: topped with a red umami seasoning powder, duck fat snow (looks like cheese), and a curried ketchup - Roasted cauliflower: a good portion of cauliflower of different colors, with a vegan corn dressing and a nice kick from calabrian chilis; I couldn't taste the matcha salt - Fried chicken and three: a big portion of fried chicken thigh (boneless, easy to cut/split for sharing), with corn and mac and cheese - an interesting take on Southern food - Mango lime "ceviche": a plant based tuna with mango, avocado, jicama, and chips. It didn't have the tuna flavor but had the right texture - interesting to try! - Seared tuna: real tuna this time, with a nice beet ponzu, black sesame rice crackers, rice, and salad - Cochinita pibil tacos: 3 per order The menu has lots of options if you're vegetarian or gluten free (one of my dining companions has legit celiac, and she was really happy with the menu options). Even though they just opened, service was on point. The servers were knowledgeable and gracious, and when they realized we had one other person coming, they got us a brand new table and helped us transfer everything so that we could be seated more comfortably. As I left, they even checked with me to make sure everything went well. Welcome to Palo Alto, Horsefeather!

new spot that just opened up in the Town and Country Village. decided to try it out with some friends and although the wait for a table was an hour, we were able grab seats at the bar. the gentleman who served us was great! friendly, attentive, courteous, and a talented bartender! food was delicious! we tried the duck fat fries, fried chicken and three, miso linguini, and a few cocktails. duck fat fries were okay. the fried chicken was really good! well breaded (not too think or thin), crispy on the outside (think CRUNCH with every bite) and perfectly juicy on the inside! the three sides were mac n cheese, cole slaw and some corn. sides were good but nothing noteworthy. the miso linguini was my favorite! came with tomatoes, mushrooms, and bits of spinach. perfect balance of flavors, pasta was al dente and miso was nice and not too creamy. definitely recommend trying this place out but be sure to make reservations in advance because it's a new hot spot in palo alto!

Took the little guy for a back to school dinner, and this place is TOP NOTCH!! Great service, great food and the staff top to bottom is in sync, very warm and professional. Thank you all for our Friday night!!

We were lucky enough to snag a soft opening res for the new Horsefeather! I had heard a lot about their drinks in particular so was very eager to try their specialty cocktails. We started with the Birds of Feather - so strong and sooo good! My partner then switched to an Old Fashioned and was equally pleased. Bonus points for a crystal clear ice cube! We tried the Korean wings - messy but delicious, and they provided us with wet wipes. Then we both got the burger and split the duck fat fries. I would not get the burger again - it's not quite a smash burger like I'd hoped and was quite messy and (for me) overly salty. But the duck fat fries were amazing and there are several other menu items I'm eager to try. We will definitely be back! I'm also really looking forward to their completion of outdoor seating as that is our preferred place to sit. Happy to have this new addition!

I went to this place yesterday with a group of friends and thought, "finally an SF experience in the Peninsula" to celebrate special occasions that's also got great comfort food at very reasonable prices to go once a week or two! Love T&C and this location especially because parking is easiest where this place is. The dishes we all tried together were super tasty, plenty of healthy options and again, a great mix of everyday comfort food that's elevated to very refined options that were more in line with high end restaurants and prices. Had a non-alcoholic cocktail that was super yummy, very light and not too sweet. The pineapple cake dessert was out of this world. Every detail in this place was impeccable from the cool water glasses to the glass bottle diet coke. Definitely a great place for dates, special occasions or just go for a good family meal every week or two. Service was outstanding with great attention to the table without being disruptive and LOVE that the owners go out of their way to provide benefits to the staff.

Recently visited, excellent service, ambiance, cuisine. Had the Beef Roast... was off the charts awesome. Will certainly visit again.

Not sure why the reviews are so good for this restaurant. It was a shitshow! 1) there is no sense of organization: different servers are attending to each table (we had 3 different people) and none of them communicate with one another and so we had to repeat our order. 2) we waited 45 minutes for our entrees; and one of our party got their entree twenty minutes before the rest of us. Only one appetizer came out and then the other appetizers came out with the entrees or right before the delayed entrees. The timing was off. 3) Our main server barely checked on us. 4) we were placed in a cramped back room. 5) all of the tables around us got the wrong bills. We got the bill for the table in front of ours. They got ours. And the table next to us got a different bill. How does this happen at a restaurant? 6) the lighting even flickered at the end. 7) and the food had no flavor; the beet salad had a strange sauce; the tacos were not seasoned; the non-alcoholic drink we ordered was terrible. The food was meh and not worth the lack of organization and poor service. There was a really sweet floor manager trying to fix everything but the damage was done. This place seems like a rookie in the business; we will never come back. We should have gone to Starbird or a truly reliable place. With no organization, no sense of timing, bad operations (and no efficient way to bill people), and inexperienced servers, this restaurant should be skipped.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! this was my second my time and once again did not let me down! The service was amazing our server Jaydin was very nice and attentive. The vibe of the restaurant is such a fun atmosphere the restaurant was full of laughter and conversations. I got the fried chicken and 3 meal and the double cheeseburger burger and the double cheese burger was delicious!!!

Horsefeather Palo Alto is incredible! You can tell they put a lot of thought into the design of the place. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend their braised short rib, burger, and duck fat fries. They had great cocktails, and a great n/a cocktail list to enjoy as well. The staff were kind and attentive. Definitely coming back!

I wish there was a way to give 3.5 stars. For Horsefeathers doesnt deserve a 4, but 3 is to low. What this means is everything is slightly above average. We had no complaints. Then again we have nothing to recommend and no reason to return.

What delicious food! Great service too! Loved the ambience and variety of menu delights!

Service was top notch! Attentive but not overbearing. Katie was awesome. Made us feel welcome and at home. Miso pasta delish. Daywalker cocktail yummy and refreshing. Tasty!

So yummy! The fried chicken was super crispy, and the sweet and savory made me eat way more than I should have...
