This is the ULTIMATE Silicon Valley/Bay Area restaurant. The food is outstanding. They have a very large vegetarian and vegan selection as well as great meat dishes. The owner was the chef for the Grateful Dead and later for Google. The restaurant's motif reflects this with pictures of the Grateful Dead playing at Kezar Stadium, historical Palo Alto, and tech icons like Steve Jobs.
