San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings

"We’re not the biggest fans of the food at Palm Court, but we do appreciate the sweet digs—and it seems like the same might hold true for the RH Rooftop Restaurant at the top of the new McMansion-sized Restoration Hardware store in Palo Alto. The place looks stunning, with massive chandeliers, trees, firepits, and furniture we could never afford. On the food side of things, expect a menu of American dishes like a burger, a whole branzino, and a caesar salad." - ricky rodriguez

Our experience at RH Rooftop in Palo Alto was truly exceptional, and were so glad we chose to celebrate our special anniversary there, despite our initial skepticism after reading mixed reviews. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the hostess with a heartfelt "Happy Anniversary," setting a wonderful tone for the lunch. We were seated in a semi-private area, away from the crowd, which made our celebration feel even more intimate. Our waiter, Andrew, immediately greeted us with another "Happy Anniversary," and from that moment on, he made our dining experience unforgettable. He expertly guided us through the menu, suggesting some of his personal favorites while allowing us ample time to make our selections. When it was time to order, Andrew surprised us with complimentary RH Bellinis to kick off the celebration-such a thoughtful touch. We decided on crispy artichokes, truffle fries, and the Chinese chicken salad. My husband opted for the thinly shaved ribeye French dip, while I went for the lobster roll, topped with caviar per Andrew's recommendation. The French dip was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and my lobster roll was overflowing with fresh lobster--absolutely delicious. The Chinese chicken salad was another standout: the chicken was incredibly juicy, and the crispy fried noodles added the perfect crunch. For dessert, we kept it simple with coffee and decided we would just share a chocolate chip cookie. To our surprise, Andrew brought out not one, but three warm cookies, telling us they were "on the house" to celebrate our anniversary. Andrew, your attention to detail and dedication to making our day special truly made all the difference. We will always remember your kindness and can't wait to return to RH Rooftop, becuase of YOU. Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable!

I have a very bitter sweet feelings after having a dinner for my birthday here. It is truly a beautiful place to celebrate and I came here for the wholesome experience for my Birthday, and to share this special moment with my family. However, there were several points that ruined our experience here. Food. The steak was burnt and so was the bread, salad was soggy. Lobster roll gave too much of burnt butter taste. Service. I would say it was so so, because our table wasn’t taken care of enough. We had to wait long for food to arrive, empty plates were staying there for quite a bit, after we done working on them. Server asked us once’, but then it took a long time to clean our table. And there was not enough attention to us as guests, our water hasn’t been filled up for a long time, and only after asking for it and waiting again. There were drops after steak cutting board was removed, and never were wiped down. I had to collect dirty plates to the side so it wouldn’t bother my eyes. And what’s the most sad part about it, hostess knew that it is my birthday and in restaurants of this level you don’t have to ask for a congratulating complimentary dessert. And after asking they brought one cookie and a candle, That didn’t look representable, at least not for the level of the interior of your restaurant. And there was not special presentation with congratulations. Server just mumbled “Happy Birthday”. Seriously? And that is not it. Later we wanted to take beautiful pictures and videos because your place was marketed for that reason too. But when I wanted to get on the stairs on the first floor and film it, after 5 minutes hostess said that first of all we can’t sit on the furniture, while my husband leaned on the couch a little so sudden that both my family members were shook after such note. Second, that I can’t go upstairs it’s closed, but there were no signs saying that, while I was there taking pictures in the mirror on the stairs. What’s the most frustrating is that she said that with annoyance like we are not guests. There was no respect, or a politeness. It felt like we’re in her house, some unwanted people from the street. I thought this is a furniture store, and who knows I wanted to try out the couch before buying?! It felt like “pretty woman” movie moment on Rodeo drive. You can see that I’m very frustrated and deeply disappointed in your restaurant treatment. As I always say even bad food could be forgiven if the service was on point. But there was no hospitality. And I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I finally got to visit this place! I’d heard it’s really popular and hard to get a table. I went for lunch with a friend, but honestly, the food wasn’t as good as I expected. For what we got, the prices felt too high, which was disappointing. The atmosphere, though, was beautiful and felt very fancy. Just being in that space was nice. I also liked that we could look around the RH furniture store after eating — that was a fun experience. Still, the menu didn’t have many options, and the food wasn’t very impressive. Overall, a bit disappointing, but the place itself is worth seeing at least once.

Gorgeous, gorgeous restaurant on the roof of otherwise, a very expensive furniture store. Everything was delicious starting from the appetizer to the entrees to the desert. The mini lobster roll with caviar were probably my favourite bite, followed by the perfectly medium, rare ribeye. We ordered a bunch of desserts to share, and all of them were amazing as well. Definitely recommend for a fancy dinner.

Walking in, we had the expectations bar set quite low - thanks to the other reviews warning us about “meh” food. But we mostly came for the vibes and the view, so no biggie. Well, joke’s on us because the food was fantastic! From the creamy burrata to the fancy lobster rolls with caviar, from the delicate blini also with caviar, to the warm shrimp salad, and finally, the perfectly grilled branzino - we devoured everything like we hadn’t seen food in weeks. Every bite was a love story. Now, was the service a bit slow? Yes. Did we contemplate aging gracefully while waiting for our next dish? Also yes. And sure, the prices made our wallets shed a tear. But at the end of the day, with that view, that food, and that experience—we left full, happy, and only slightly financially wounded. Worth it!

We came here for our anniversary, and at first, I was a bit hesitant because of the rating, but I’m so glad we decided to give this place a chance. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful ambiance that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. The service was excellent – the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. In honor of our anniversary, they kindly offered us two complimentary drinks, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made the evening even more special. And, of course, the food was truly delicious! Both the salads and main courses were great, with fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. Overall, I’d say the experience was well worth the price. It was not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing and just genuinely pleasant. Our evening turned out exactly as we’d hoped, and I’d definitely come back!

The place is beautiful with a nice relaxing energy. This is the perfect place to enjoy a lunch with friends, to celebrate a special occasion, or just to taste delicious food. I loved the lobster rolls! The waiters were very welcoming and the service was faster than I had expected. Overall I had a great experience!

Went here for a late Sunday brunch. Food was better than expected, The service was unhurried and friendly which gave us time to enjoy the meal. The red juice and roasted artichokes were fantastic. Not a lot of options if you are vegetarian but they were happy to do some substitutions. 4 stars for the food and 5 for the service.

The place is pretty nice- a lot of good photo opportunities, but mainly came to experience the restaurant. Here's how my experience went: 1. Ordered sparking water- got regular water- initial waiter knew it was wrong and asked which was nice. 2. Told our initial waiter our order and he had came back to ask for our order once again which was "lobster caviar roll as a starter, ribeye and filet and fries as entrees) 3. Ordered 2 Bellinis got only 1 so we had to order another 4. Received our steaks and fries and realized our lobster rolls never came first 5. Our second waiter who took over- whose name is Daniel, bless him. 6. We mentioned we haven't received our lobster starter and he had it comped. 7. Daniel was more attentive and even asked if we wanted dessert and why we came today to RH (which you'd think that's the first question a waiter would ask- throwing shade to the first one) 8. He gave a complimentary celebratory cookie to celebrate our marriage anniversary 9. Daniel even took the best photos for us when we had asked him to- got all the angles and made sure we looked good Overall id give my experience a 3/5 - I expected a lot more maybe that's my fault- but my reservation was for 7pm- maybe a sunset reservation would've helped the experience cause I'm a sucker for a nice view, but this was overstimulating and underwhelming at the same time which iykyk lol. Thanks Daniel for the effort and being the sole reason for 3/5- if we had Daniel from the start maybe it would've been 5/5- great enthusiasm and service.

I finally got to try RH and I had no idea this was outside the Stanford shopping mall, the pictures looked like it was taken at a winery lol. I didn't know the restaurant was this huge and it is also a furniture store! RH stands for Restoration Hardware and the restaurant is located on the 3rd floor. The atmosphere is beautifully clean and simple just like how our dishes were presented. We ordered the prosciutto board, kale caesar salad with grilled chicken, di stefano burrata, charred ribeye, roadside lobster roll, and got their RH Bellini! To sum everything up, everything was a 5 out of 5. I'm not a big fan of kale salad, but it was amazing with the parmigiano reggiano and croutons. The prosciutto board was a good starter to snack on and also an aesthetic dish to take photos of. The sear on the charred ribeye (prime beef) was also perfect. My friends and I were intrigued by the ambiance and hospitality. They were very accommodating for our birthdays and cake services. After our brunch, you're able to chill outside the patio and enjoy the views from above. There's so many things I need to try the next time I visit. For instance, their impossibly thin Swedish pancakes were only available on the weekends. I wish I can remember our server's name, he was so nice and made sure our experience here went smoothly!

My party of 4 had a brunch reservation for February 9, 2025, and I want to start by highlighting the fantastic service we received from our server, Philip. He truly deserves 5 stars! The ambiance and overall atmosphere were also delightful, and the food was exceptionally delicious - per usual. However, I did want to share a concern that left a bad impression on my entire party. We had previously dined for special occasions (most recently in January for my Mom's birthday). That time we also arrived quite early around opening, and were seated in one of the round corner booths (#16) with no issue as the restaurant was mostly empty and the sunshine was directly hitting our faces/eyes at our previous table. We also prefer a bit more space due to mobility issues with some in our party + separation from other guests due to immunocompromised health (all 4 of us in fact). Due to our great experience last time, we requested table #16 due to two birthdays that coincided that very week (my aunt's and my own). The hostess checked us in, thoughtfully noted the birthdays, and took us directly to a table towards the end of the restaurant, where we would be seated right next to people. This was a surprise - and we promptly asked if we would be seated in our requested table. The hostess complied with our request, but was rather cold and aloof/distant when doing so - her demeanor had obviously changed. She mentioned that it is typically reserved for 6 guests. While we all understood that there may be policies regarding table reservations, we couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. We were all confused since the restaurant was practically empty for a good portion of our meal, and in fact - a round table on the opposite corner (diagonal from ours) only had 3 guests the *entire* time they were there. Our party is quite diverse, and we couldn't shake the feeling that there might have been some unintentional bias at play when compared to the table of 3 people. We know it was probably not the hostess' intention, but we could think of no valid reason for the other table's preferential treatment vs how we were treated in regards to the seating arrangement. Anyways, excellent food, amazing service from severs, and a memorable birthday occasion. However, the check-in / seating experience felt disheartening and left us wishing for the warm hospitality we've typically come to appreciate at RH to the point of considering other dining options for future special occasions. Note: I had originally sent this as a private note to restaurant management via OpenTable, but no regard or response was given.

Took my husband here for his birthday last and enjoyed the experience. We were seated within a minute of arriving and greeted fairly quickly. We ordered the artichokes appetizer, shrimp and mini caviar lobster rolls. The artichokes had the right amount of crunch and flavor. The shrimp was charred (on purpose) so perfection. I could have eaten 10 mini lobster rolls, so good! For entrees, my husband ordered the ribeye and I ordered the lobster roll. My only complaint about the steak is there was a lot of extra fat. My only feedback for the service aspect, is that it took about 10 minutes to get my husbands second Kona beer he ordered. Would absolutely go back for another lunch or dinner experience. I'm still dreaming about my lobster roll

Parking lot is busy since it's located in a shared parking lot with Standford Mall. Reservations were pretty easy to make online as there were several slots open. It's a lovely restaurant with glass views and we had great service, however I left disappointed with my $32 Shaved ribeye dip sandwich that I found to be quite salty and could only manage to eat half of it.

You won't be disappointed visiting this rooftop restaurant! I went to RH last weekend and was lucky to have great weather. The restaurant is on the rooftop, and the beautiful garden-themed decor really made my day. Fortunately, we got a seat next to the water fountain--such a great view! We started with sparkling wine, a lobster roll, and a salad as an appetizer. It was a perfect beginning, especially enjoying it under the sunshine. For the main course, we ordered the petit filet and branzino. The steak was just average, so I wouldn't recommend it, but the fish was really good! The service was excellent--friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend this restaurant, but be sure to make a reservation at least a week in advance to get the perfect seat!

RH continues to be one of our go-to date night restaurants. We've been to the Marin location a few times and this was our first time at PA. The food and atmosphere is consistent. Since it was just the two of us, we shared our usuals- the fried artichokes as an app and the steak with broccolini for the main. I've never had a bad experience at RH and will continue to come back. I want to personally thank the team at RH PA for their hospitality. It was pouring rain the night of and we drove to SF with an Open Table reservation to RH SF. 5 minutes before arriving, we got a call saying that there was a system error and they can't accommodate us. It was the most inconvenient situation. Luckily, we called RH PA on our way back and they quickly squeezed us in, sat us right in the middle of the room, and offered a complimentary bottle of acqua panna for our experience. Thank you RH PA!

This place is all about the vibes! Such a cute location for special occasions. The service here is great also and loved being able to walk around the show rooms after our meal. The food here is just ok. I would recommend the artichoke dish, this was the best dish that we had here.

Made reservations a month ago to celebrate my husband's big birthday here. We had lunch. The decor is gorgeous and the service was perfect. Peach Bellini - tasty and the right amount to sweetness Crispy artichokes - This was our second favorite item. Came with a great creme fresh. Hearty size - great for sharing. mini lobster rolls with caviar - We absolutely loved these. I love that it was the perfect size and they really top it with the caviar. My husband said that if we were to return, we would get 4 instead of 2. classic caesar - So I love a good caesar salad and unfortunately this was not a good caesar. Definitely, needed much more dressing. charred ribeye - Suppose to be medium rare. half was cooked perfect and the other half was a bit too rare. I only had a couple pieces. creme brûlée - Pefecto! Matcha latte - done well It was a great experience. I do wish our mains were executed better but overall a good time. My husband definitely felt the birthday love here- cookie with a candle and the staff wishing him a happy birthday.

Beautiful store and restaurant! I enjoyed brunch here at RH. I would definitely come back. Our favorite dish was the pancakes with butter. These pancakes were thin, buttery, and crispy. They look plain but they were good! The kale salad was ok; we added salmon to it. Would have tasted better with more dressing. Also, the kale was hard to scoop so having a serving spoon or fork with it would be nice.

Came for a girls night on a busy Tuesday. We made reservations and were seated right away. Our server Philip was very attentive and helpful. A plus, he asked about allergies too, so thank you! Our food came out in a timely manner and everything tasted great! I ordered the salmon medium cooked and it was already more on the dry side. The salmon portion is very generous for the price you pay for. The sides were cooked really amazing. It was an elevated experience dining here so go ahead and splurge!

Tbh you really are just there for the vibes. The food is subpar and incredibly expensive. I got an RH burger and it was so salty I couldn't finish it. Kind of disappointing when it's a $20+ burger.

Beautiful restaurant with very neutral and beige aesthetics. The service was great with a very professional reception greeter. My friend celebrated her birthday and we started off with - mini lobster caviar rolls (6/10) The lobster was sweet, caviar was generous but it definitely is a pricey bite. For the main entrees: - Whole Grilled Branzino (7/10) Milky, slight tenderness but very mild fish dish. - Broiled King Salmon (10/10) Woww. Great size for a filet! They only cook it one way which is medium and it made the salmon so juicy, flakey and buttery. - Charred Broccolini (5/10) Great veggie side filler. Charred and citrusy. - Sweet potato fries. (3/10) The dip paired well with these. However, the fries did come out limp, chewy and throughout the nice it wasn't enjoyable anymore. Ended the night with a nice salted bday cookie and it was so soft and chewy. 10/10 It was nice walking up the stairs to the restaurant. The bottom floors are furniture showrooms so it was like a suuuuper fancy ikea lol. We enjoyed walking through it though and some of the art pieces made it feel like a museum.

My favorite thing about this place is that their glass windows makes you feel like you're dining in a greenhouse. We mostly came for the atmosphere, not so much the food. Previously, the only RH restaurant I knew of was in the Napa area, which is really out of the way for me. So I was super excited upon discovering they opened another restaurant in Palo Alto. I also learned they have another restaurant in OC. To get to the restaurant, you entire their retail store and go upstairs past their other floors of goods. There's also an outdoor patio area, but that night it was raining so the patio wasn't in use. We were still able to walk around the patio outside to take a look at it. The menu is pretty standard for an establishment where you don't mind splurging. The only thing that stands out on the menu is the caviar, in particular the impossibly thin chips. However, I find that the chips are generally too salty and over power caviar. So we decided to get the mini lobster rolls with caviar for fun that day. Ambiance: 9/10 Food: 7.5/10 Mini lobster rolls with caviar - 7.5/10 The caviar was very enjoyable, and the lobster roll was also very enjoyable. Although I think the two flavors clash with each other and would be better enjoyed separately. That's what happens when you just throw a bunch of expensive ingredients together without an appreciation for taste. Grill shrimp and vegetables salad - 7.5/10 I wanted something healthy with protein. It was a more like a vegetable medley, and was very delicious. My only complaint is it was mostly zucchini in the dish and it wasn't balanced with the rest of the ingredients.

RH Rooftop has everything my wife and I want in a good brunch spot... almost. The interior was stunning. Perched on the 3rd floor of the RH store, the all-around windows give a clear view into the surrounding area - and allows the sunlight to playfully gleam off the glass chandeliers. The food was excellent. The Italian Benedict (with prosciutto) and the burrata appetizer were both big hits. But the one area we felt lacking, unfortunately, was the service. When we sat down, we were asked immediately what drinks we wanted and what type of water. But that water didn't come. We had to wave down a server to remind them about our water, and to take our order. From the second we sat down to the time our food arrived - it was about 50 - 55 minutes. We watched other tables for comparison - and they all received their food faster than we did. To be fair, the exterior views, interior fountain, and overall atmosphere was so nice, we wouldn't have minded sitting there even longer if need be... if we weren't hungry. If you've ever been in this situation before - you'd know sitting hungry for an hour with no food in front of you feels much longer than an hour. Our experience could be an anomaly. And everything else about the place was delightful. My wife and I would love to come back and enjoy the views, sunlight, and food. And hopefully we can start eating a little quicker next time...

This restaurant is absolutely stunning! Located on the third floor of the building, it offers a cozy yet elegant atmosphere that's perfect for a date night. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Although the outdoor area was closed--likely due to the chilly weather--the indoor ambiance more than made up for it. The menu isn't extensive, but it offers a variety of tempting options. I chose the salmon Caesar salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. However, the "bacon bits" I added were disappointing--they were charred and inedible, which felt like a letdown considering the extra cost. One thing to note: there isn't a full bar, but they do offer wine, beer, champagne, and creative champagne-based specialty drinks. There's also a fantastic coffee bar with an impressive selection of coffee and tea options. Despite the minor hiccup, I'll definitely be coming back for another visit!

This restaurant is absolutely beautiful--it almost makes you forget you're in the Bay Area. If you're coming here, it's for the vibes, aesthetics, and maybe a special occasion. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for brunch. Half the menu feels like things you could easily make at home. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad, which was good but overly crunchy--felt like I was eating more crispy noodle chips than the actual salad. Honestly, I'd rather go to Mendocino Farms for a more filling salad. However, I'd definitely come back for a cute girl dinner--it seems like a better value for the price. The drinks were solid too! I had an Aperol Spritz-style cocktail, and it was refreshing and well-balanced. If you're looking for a stylish spot with good drinks, this place is worth checking out.

For one, I did not know that RH meant Restoration Hardware -- so I was thrilled to find that they had opened one in Palo Alto! Located right at the outside of the Stanford Shopping Center, next to a Blue Bottle Coffee, it is a prime location for furniture seeing, but also, for the fine dining that every person deserves. My experience at this place was out of this world -- high quality service turned into a high quality meal that every race of life would deserve. I just so happened to be celebrating my mom's birthday last night at this place, so here's my experience with this place so far: Food: 3.6/5 For appetizers, we got a 4-count blini with caviar. I was actually blown away by how tender the caviar was -- especially with the texture of the blini and how thoroughly baked it was as well. The garnishes were an extra layer of goodness as well. For drinks, we got a Bellini, a mimosa, and an Arnold Palmer. While there is really no comment to the Arnold Palmer because they are known for their mixture of iced tea and lemonade, the mimosa was another story. While the waitress had told me they inserted an ounce of orange juice, it tasted more like the presence of Prosecco was there. The Bellini lacked the fruity taste that was present, but both drinks alike were a perfect pairing to the salad and entrees that came for us. We got the Mulholland Drive Salad -- a goodness of all different kinds of vegetables. I enjoyed the beets, the cheddar, everything... including the vinaigrette. The only thing I would've wished for was more variety of greens in this particular dish but otherwise, everything hit the crop on this. For our entrees, we got the petite filet and the whole grilled branzinos, with sides that included the grilled asparagus, truffle fries, charred broccolini, and potato puree. While the branzinos both had such an enhanced and charred texture, the middle bone tasted a little dry. In addition, while I had asked for the fillet to be medium-rare, it lacked the sufficient and dry texture that one would expect in steak. Service: 4/5 The service was near perfect, and I was mesmerized by how attentive our waitresses were. They put thought and process into recommending us the best dishes for our alcoholic pairings. However, as with most places, we were seated later than our reservation time, which I found to be kind of unprofessional, because it lacked the communication that was given to us with regards to the families. Atmosphere: 3/5 The atmosphere of this place was noisy, and while the energy of the place was indeed nice, cozy, and homey, it felt a little too tight for comfort. Overall, I'd definitely come again! :)

Making my way to all of the RH Rooftop Restaurants! All of the RH restaurants have the best decor and bougie vibes. The Palo Alto location seems a bit smaller than the ones in Napa or out of state, but the menu is pretty much the same. Prices are high but the food is delicious! We ordered the impossibly thin chips and dip with caviar, gem salad, truffle fries, mulholland drive salad, and RH burger. The burger is always juicy and the fries are great for the table. I preferred the gem salad over the mulholland drive but both were good! We enjoyed every last bit of the chips and dip with caviar but it was definitely a splurge.

Our experience at RH Rooftop in Palo Alto was truly exceptional, and we're so glad we chose to celebrate our special anniversary there, despite our initial skepticism after reading mixed reviews. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the hostess with a heartfelt "Happy Anniversary," setting a wonderful tone for the lunch. We were seated in a semi-private area, away from the crowd, which made our celebration feel even more intimate. Our waiter, Andrew, immediately greeted us with another "Happy Anniversary," and from that moment on, he made our evening unforgettable. He expertly guided us through the menu, suggesting some of his personal favorites while allowing us ample time to make our selections. When it was time to order, Andrew surprised us with complimentary RH Bellinis to kick off the celebration--such a thoughtful touch. We decided on crispy artichokes, truffle fries, and the Chinese chicken salad. My husband opted for the thinly shaved ribeye French dip, while I went for the lobster roll, topped with caviar per Andrew's recommendation. The French dip was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and my lobster roll was overflowing with fresh lobster--absolutely delicious. The Chinese chicken salad was another standout: the chicken was incredibly juicy, and the crispy fried noodles added the perfect crunch. For dessert, we kept it simple with coffee and decided we would just share a chocolate chip cookie. To our surprise, Andrew brought out not one, but three warm cookies, telling us they were "on the house" to celebrate our anniversary. Andrew, your attention to detail and dedication to making our day special truly made all the difference. We will always remember your kindness and can't wait to return to RH Rooftop, becuase of YOU. Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable!

The ambiance is beautiful and loved the lighting during dinner time. Our server was really nice and she was very attentive. We asked for sparkling water and I had the RH Bellini (Prosecco + peach puree). I liked the flavor of the drink, but it was giving a smoothie like consistency. I think it needed a tad more Prosecco and maybe a cute little garnish. The food was plated beautifully as they came out. For our appetizer, we had the mini lobster rolls topped with caviar. The bread was nicely toasted and still had a softness to it. The caviar paired nicely with the buttery lobster. For our entrees, we had the whole grilled branzino and the charred ribeye. For the branzino, I loved that the lemon slice was grilled, it added a deepness to the flavor profile when you squeezed the lemon juice on the fish. It was cooked just right and was not dry. We asked for our ribeye to be cooked medium rare and we got that. It was cooked well and seasoned properly. Loved the side of salt the waiter gave us. My favorite item were the truffle fries! I could eat those truffle fries forever if I could. Overall it was a good experience and the food was delicious. However, would I come again? Probably not. I felt like the restaurant was designed to showcase the ambiance/feel of the whole place. The food was delicious, not memorable. It was a good experience to try once.

Beautiful lively dining room, pretty good food, but just ok service with an off vibe. 3.5 stars Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (on the spendier side) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: maybe Highiights: - Atmosphere: tall clear vaulted ceiling with indoor trees and lights inside. Outdoor area all around with fire pits. - Shaved steak sandwich: good amount of steak, nice French baguette, and tasty dipping sauce. Picky hub gave it 4.5 stars - Chocolate chip cookies: a few large soft and warm cookies with a bump of sea salt were a hit. 4.5 stars - Fries: gotta love a cone full. Sweet potato were great too. 4.25 stars - Shrimp: 6 cooked and seasoned fine but more or a side than an entree as it didn't come with anything else at all. 4 stars - Rib eye: solid version my picky teen approved of. Added grilled and but smokey flavor. 4 stars - Filet: done just right my sister enjoyed. 4 stars - Burrata: standard single big orb of cheese with a fan of bread slices and roasted peppers. 3.5 stars - Champagnes and wines by the glass: some decent options Midlights: - Location: took a bit to find after entering the store but was a few flights up the stairs - Vibe: can't pinpoint exactly what it was but vibe was bit awkward than upscale trendy--like a cool kid that is trying but hasn't quite made the popular group. Yountville location felt like a more authentic personality. Lowlights: - Everything a la carte: entrees or sandwiches should come with a side - Put in the rez that it was my sisters' birthday and they didn't acknowledge it at all which is a huge miss especially at this quality of an establishment - Server disappeared for big periods of time - Only wine: no cocktails which you might feel like on this swanky environment Wish the service and vibe was better, but enjoyed a meal here and would consider returning.

RH Rooftop in Palo Alto offers a lovely ambiance and a delicious brunch, but be prepared for slow and inconsistent service. The breakfast offerings are simple, but what they do, they do well. Our group did a couple each of the RH scramble, american breakfast, and steak & eggs. Besides the steak being undercooked (rare instead of medium rare), all the food was cooked well and high quality. The potatoes were exceptionally crispy, the bacon was flavorful (sweet, salty and nicely seasoned) and not burnt (yay!), and the soft scrambled eggs were exactly as they should be - creamy and not overcooked. However, the service was painfully slow. It took awhile for our server to even come over, and we ordered drinks and food the first chance we got. Our server continued to change throughout the meal, and I think that's part of the issue. Considering they don't have a full bar, just beer & wine, drinks shouldn't take very long. The mimosas and coffee we ordered took forever to come out. The food took so long we asked for bread and butter because we were starving! Unfortunately, that is also the reason why I was unable to take any food pics - we were so hungry by the time we ate that we all devoured our food immediately! I ordered three rounds of prosecco total and the rest of my party ordered two rounds (mimosas and a cappelletti). Each round, my prosecco was a little less full. On my third round, my glass was less than half full. Our server was friendly and apologetic when I mentioned it, saying it should have been 1 inch from the top (it was nowhere near that). Looking around, I noticed many half full mimosas and proseccos coming out of the bar. At the price point for their food & drinks, the delays and inconsistency in service significantly impacted our overall experience. The meal took over 2.5 hours and we only had one course! If you're not in a rush and are willing to overlook the slow service for a well-executed, albeit basic, brunch and nice view, then RH Rooftop is worth a visit. Just be sure to factor in extra time and manage your expectations accordingly.

Wow, what a let down. The ambiance was nice but way too echoey. The worst part was the disorganized and seemingly confused staff. They were nice but super slow and not attentive enough. The food was basic at best. Look at the photos online, they don't make any effort with presentation. What a dud. Wish I didn't spend $770 for four people here.

Our family had a great time dining as the ambiance was amazing and comfortable. We were relaxed and enjoyed delicious food. Our waitress was attentive, quickly clean up empty plates and refill our water cups. The restaurant is on the third floor, first and second floors are furniture stores. A lots of parking spaces and next to Stanford shopping center.

RH restaurant moved from downtown Palo Alto to Stanford shopping center, which is a great idea for the business and for the RH brand lovers! The food quality is as the same as Yountville! Not to mention about the ambiance, probably the best out of the whole SF Bay Area.

Made last minute reservations here with the hubby for our wedding anniversary and was met with such a beautiful venue. Did not realize that RH was so elegant. We also went outside in the patio area while we waited. It was romantic with the fire pits and just great ambiance. We had ordered the ribeye, salmon, lobster roll with caviar, and grilled shrimp starter size. Everything came out pretty good, the salmon was a little undercooked tho, which caused me not to finish it in fears of food poisoning. The lobster roll with caviar was delicious!!! My hubby's order of the ribeye was not bad at all. It was really good. I think I ate it more than my own meal. The grilled shrimp was decent. 4 stars because I had noted on my open table reservation that it was our wedding anniversary in hopes that they would do something special towards the end of dinner service like a complimentary dessert, but I guess they don't do that here? I did see a few people with what looks like complimentary birthday desserts with a candle on top. Oh well, I guess I had set my expectations higher than normal.

Located on the third floor of Restoration Hardware, this roof top restaurant is a gorgeous and bright space to enjoy breakfast/brunch, lunch or dinner. To book here, reservations are a must and desirable time slots often go quickly. I booked mine via OpenTable, it was a smooth process. The menu is decently sized with different protein options, but was not too impressed with their starters. A good array of salad options and add ons. Sandwiches or regular mains to choose from. They have caviar service as well. Ordered an iced latte, Arugula Salad with broiled King Salmon, Roasted Chicken, Sweet Potato Fries and Charred Broccolini. Latte was great, loved the pebble ice and was able to have it decaf. Arugula Salad with added broiled King Salmon, the arugula salad was perfect for sharing, citrus vinaigrette with fennel and grapes mixed throughout. The salmon was cooked perfectly, so tender and melt in your mouth. Roasted Chicken was served with wing, breast, drumstick on potato puree and au jus. The chicken was tender and juicy, but a bit difficult to eat as it was bone in. We didn't even attempt to eat the wing as there wasn't much meat to it. The potato puree gave it weight and tasted great with the au jus. Did find this dish to come out on the room temp side, so that was a little off putting. Charred Broccolini was a hit, nice smoky char and the citrus seasoning really gave this dish brightness. Probably my favorite side easily here. Sweet Potato Fries is exactly what you would expect, comes in a cone and served with aioli. Nothing special, but still good. They were kind enough to give a free birthday cookie on the house, a warm house made chocolate chip cookie topped with sea salt. It was delicious, perfectly sweet and the salt was a nice tough. Service was spot on and pleasant, I do not recall our server's name but he was attentive and gave great recommendations. Waters were refilled and we were checked on without feeling smothered. The interior is great, as mentioned the lightening gives to beautiful photos of food or of people. I can only imagine how lovely and romantic this space is at night time. Definitely, will return to try out their brunch offerings.

Gorgeous location! Service and ambiance were elevated as expected and overall wonderful dining and experience. We ordered some spritzes and apps to share for a friend's birthday, pricing is of course pricey but felt it was worth! Good spot for photos too.

lovely ambiance, including walking through the showroom downstairs, but the food and service felt mediocre, especially at these prices. i think our favorite dishes were the caviar starters we tried: impossibly thin house made chips and dip with 15g caviar ($52) and 2 mini lobster rolls with caviar, 10g ($34). i was pleasantly surprised by the chips and dip; it is expensive but at least felt well done. the lobster rolls were even smaller than i expected despite looking at a lot of yelp photos - they just look tinier in real! but still delish. then we had the grilled shrimp and vegetable salad ($36), the shaved ribeye dip ($32), and truffle fries ($20). these all felt overpriced and i wasn't a fan of the bread on the ribeye dip. for dessert we ordered the caramelized banana split, which was good but pretty simple. i had hoped to get a complimentary cookie since we were celebrating an occasion but although the hosts greeted us, our server really didn't interact with us much other than just taking our orders and clearing plates.

Overall the experience was good, but for the price we paid for the food, I'm not sure if it was worth it. The food was mediocre, but the views and the aesthetics of the place were amazing. The waiters and waitresses were also very nice. This place is great for a special occasion and for pictures, but not for food. I would suggest going just for drinks for friends.

My partner and I came here with our two kids for brunch and we will likely come back again! Reservations are highly recommended. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the RH building so you'll have to walk through the furniture showroom to access the stairs or elevator to get to the restaurant. The top floor is primarily glass walls so there's a lot of natural light flowing through and even has a surrounding patio for additional seating. We were pleased with our orders. The adults ordered: mini lobster rolls with caviar, the ribeye and eggs, and the RH scramble. The lobster rolls were amazing and easily our favorite item that we ordered. My only complaint with the other dishes is that the side of sourdough toast had a sear to it and the only thing I could taste was the burnt part. As for the kids, there is no kids menu but they split a huge Belgian waffle and truffle fries and enjoyed them all thoroughly. Dessert was crème brulee but it will a little too sweet for my liking. Service was great and the entire staff was really friendly. We'll be back again soon!

We've been to the RH locations in Napa and San Francisco, so we had an idea of what to expect. The ambiance and setup here were in line with other RH spaces--beautifully understated and refined, with food options that included some seasonal variations. The food was enjoyable, but what truly made our experience memorable was our server, Andrew. He was a breath of fresh air--warm, attentive, sweet, and exceptionally professional. We dine out often, and our experiences are largely shaped by the person taking care of us. We can't wait to return and hope Andrew will be there to welcome us again. Parking is convenient and plentiful, as the restaurant is located within Stanford Shopping Mall.

We went soon after they first opened. It was a great experience. Their menu was slightly different than the Yountville location. As with any RH restaurant, the ambiance and design is top tier. Makes for such a lovely experience. On top of that the service was amazing, and the food was good! What I love about am RH restaurant is that the dining experience feels so luxe! Love the gem salad and the truffle fries. The dip sandwich was as solid. Only complaint is that the cookie was good but nothing special. I'm not sure if it's just me but I thought the cookie was more chewy, thick and rich, and exciting at the Yountville location, but I might be wrong and it's been awhile since I've had it. The store is multilevel with the restaurant on the roof. They also have and outdoor portion but I think that's just for ordering drinks? I'm not sure. It was fun to walk off lunch by browsing the show room! TLDR: lovely and LUXE experience, would definitely come back. Make a reservation if you can!

The ambiance was obviously beautiful although I wish we went for lunch instead of dinner. The glass roof would have looked prettier in the day light. The food is a bit on the pricy end but quality is good. Filet was buttery and tender. The truffle fires and sandwiches are great. The service was fast for a weekend evening. Will definitely come back for lunch or brunch.

Decent spot and decent food, but far from perfect. You're paying a bit extra for the ambiance and views versus the quality of what you're getting. First kinda strange that they don't have cocktails. It's just wine and beer really. I feel a place like this could really use some cocktails. Food is mainly good and the mini lobster caviar rolls are fantastic. Ribeye is pretty good. Surprised that they added a 4% surcharge as I thought this was stopped in California? Just put those extra costs into the food costs. I decided this was the day I would put my foot down and just took that percentage out of the tip. I know it's not the servers fault, but business, but in the end maybe they will learn? Who knows.

I came here for a late lunch, and the restaurant was about half full. I got the truffle fries and the ribeye dip, and the food took a LONG time to come out. I had my baby with me, and I was always worried that she would wake up before the food came. Luckily she made it through lunch without any crying. With that being said, my sandwich was just ok. I was expecting a lot more flavor from it. The fries were good as usual, but they also could have been more crispy. My server was great, though. She was so friendly.

RH is an absolute VIBE. It's gorgeous in here, this is the exact place where I want to brunch with the girlies or have a pleasant Sundate. Think clean girl aesthetic but with a natural twist. The food is delicious, albeit pricey but fair I suppose. For starters we had lobster caviar rolls. They are literally one bite but an enjoyable bite. The breast is buttery, the lobster is fresh, and the caviar bright. Truffle fries for the table were incredible, no complaints! Perfectly crispy. I had the French omelette which was so creamy and decadent. The salad it came with was a bit salty but still enjoyable. The cookie dessert comes with 3. Served warm with flaky sea salt and it really tied the meal together. Service is so friendly. Can't wait to come back or visit the other locations!!

I've had the pleasure of visiting three different RH locations in Northern California, and they never fail to amaze me! The ambiance is pure high-end luxury, from the stunning design details to the serene, sophisticated atmosphere. The food is always incredible--fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The service is equally outstanding; the staff is attentive, professional, and welcoming. RH truly offers an experience that's excellent in every way. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a perfect blend of style, delicious dining, and exceptional service.

Loved it first time around and back for more today!! The setting is just perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The outdoor sitting on the rooftop is such an elegant touch used as a waiting area or simply having a drink outside. We have tried the lobster roll (5/5), burrata appetizer as well as added onto salad (5/5), truffle fries (5/5), burger (5/5) and a couple of the salads. They are all amazing and the service is amazing. If you haven't tried it so far, it is a must try at least once. A bit on the pricey side for the food you get, but again you are paying for location and ambiance as well.

A beautiful venue for lunch! The RH Rooftop is on the 3rd floor of the RH store and it was breathtaking when I approached. I was able to snag a last minute reservation and it did not disappoint. We started off with the crispy artichokes starter. They were crispy and mixed with some sliced fried potatoes with a wonderful dip. My cousin has the Chinese chicken salad which was covered with crunchies. I had the shaved rib eye dip with an au jus that was delicious. The warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert were amazing with a bit of salt. The perfect sweetness to end the meal. A nice splurge for lunch at a beautiful restaurant.

As others have noted, I came here with high expectations based on the RH name but walked away with a middling experience. I came in mid December for a birthday dinner. We arrived on time but had to wait a little bit for the table to be ready. Once we were seated we were greeted by our server, who took our water order. By the time he came back, we were ready to order food and drinks. So far so good. Our appetizers were the Mulhollamd Drive salad and the blinis with caviar. The salad was presented deconstructed and served with dressing on the side in a nice saucier, and the blinis with caviar were bite side but so rich and a home run. we started to slow down on our salads, and someone came by to box up our leftovers. We expected our entrees to come soon but they didn't. At first we were patient, as the tables next to ours hadn't gotten their food either, but eventually, all the tables who came after us had received our entrees. We finally decided to flag down a server to check on our food for us, because ours had completely disappeared, and we were told that our order had gotten buried in the kitchen, so they hadn't made the food. We were floored. They literally forgot our order!! By this point we had been waiting nearly an hour, and by the time we actually were served our entrees, an hour had passed since we received our appetizers. The server said a manager would come by to talk to us, but when she came by, all she said was "I apologize for the wait" and walked away. We were like, that's it? Is she not going to offer any compensation, so we called her back and inquired awkwardly if she was going to address the issue, and that's when she said that she wanted to let us enjoy our food first and she would come by at the end to chat. All of this awkwardness could've been avoided if she had been a little more communicative, lol. But in the end the manager was very generous and gracious, offering to comp all our entrees, and a round of desserts, since it was my birthday! That made the sting of having to wait an hour for our food hurt a little less. As for the food itself, it was good but unremarkable. The lobster roll I got was nicely buttered but that seemed to be the only tasting note to it. Of the desserts, I loved the butterscotch creme brûlée. The ambiance of course is beautiful and would undoubtedly be gorgeous on a sunny day for brunch with friends, with their high ceiling sunroof. Overall, I may give them another chance but might not go out of my way to come.

If you are a vegetarian then avoid this place. There are really no options unless you want a salad dunked in dressing and overloaded with cheese. Ambience is great and the service is an afterthought. The prices are through the roof. Alcohol is all about wines with an occasional beer or cocktail. There are so many other places that are way better even in the Stanford shopping area. I have to give them credit on having non alcoholic wine.

Having been to the RH restaurant in Marin, I had low expectations for this PA location. I knew the place would be beautiful coming in, but the foods in Marin wasn't that good, so I was expecting the same. But RH PA proved me wrong! The foods have more selections and everything we ordered were good! - ribeye steak(good, perfectly cooked) - grilled corn(very good!) - burger(juicy! even my 4 yr old loves it!) - lobster roll(our least favorite, but it was still good) Deducting 1 star because I feel the service could be better. Our waiter was nowhere to be found for a while. when we wanted a refill on our water and iced tea. I'm so glad we have another option to go to in Stanford Mall for future visits!

Okay, the view is amazing, we all know that. But is the food you ask? Grilled shrimp was a bit too charred for my liking, but if you like that smokie-ish taste then maybe it's for you. 50 minutes after being seated our food main courses arrived. Lobster roll was a bit bland, but the ribeye French dip was absolutely delightful! They packed it with tender meat and the bread had a nice crisp bite to it and the au jus sent it over the top. The truffle fries were amazing and the charred broccolini was seasoned lightly. For dessert we got the banana split and affogato--both were decadent and good to the very last bite. You're definitely paying for the view and ambience rather than the food/service. Just keep that in mind and you won't be disappointed. PS you need to find their Reyna chair and sit on it. You're welcome.

Really enjoyed our lunch here! Beautiful ambiance - epitome of luxe California, fancy without being too stiff. Honestly, I'd recommend to almost anyone for a nice date even just for the setting. Main dining area was smaller than I expected, but I really liked that. It helped give a more cozy feeling. Service was prompt and polite, but not as individually attentive as I might expect from a place that's $$$. Still, nothing was wrong, and I didn't necessarily find anything too lacking. Food-wise, it really depended on the dish. We ordered the Chinese chicken salad, kale Caesar salad, mini lobster rolls with caviar, and caramelized banana split for dessert. The Chinese chicken salad was just okay, nothing too different from a Chinese chicken salad anywhere else. The kale Caesar was great, but not all that unique. The mini lobster rolls with caviar was delicious; would definitely recommend! Rich without being too overwhelming. And lastly, if you have any sort of sweet tooth, please get the caramelized banana split! It was my favorite dish of the day. The brûléed caramel was the perfect texture add. Definitely a pricey spot, but to me, definitely worth it for the occasional splurge meal.
