    Copper pots hang from the wood beams and a wood-burning fireplace roars at the center of this upscale Greek restaurant in downtown Palo Alto, where whole suckling pigs spin over the grill and lemon halves arrive bound in cloth so you don't spray a lamb chop. The crowd skews tech money at lunch and date night by evening, and the prices track accordingly. The Michelin Guide has it selected, and the room makes that feel completely unsurprising.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Lamb souvlaki

      “The rustic, impossibly moist lamb souvlaki is nicely contrasted by a refreshing tomato, cucumber and red onion salad.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Artichoke and eggplant skewers

      “Much of the menu emerges from the wood-fired grill, including smoky, tender artichoke and eggplant skewers drizzled in olive oil and paired with garlicky Greek yogurt.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Pumpkin cheesecake

      “For dessert, pumpkin cheesecake is subtle, sweet and accented with syrup-poached chunks of pumpkin.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Grilled dry-aged rib eye

      “Here, the grilled dry-aged rib eye ($68.50) comes out with just the right amount of char”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
