Oak Violet Park James - Menlo Park

The staff was exceptional and accommodating! The food was cooked to perfection and the vibes were just right on Halloween. It was exciting to see the staff in their hilarious and perfectly executed costumes. We were able to show our guest a great time thanks to the attentiveness and hospitality of the staff, paired with the delicious food. Thank you Oak and Violet!

Sarah our server was amazing! Went above and beyond for food and wine recommendations, as well as a sweet surprise as my husband and I were having a celebratory dinner. The setting was great too, love the cute violet accents throughout. Would definitely come again.

What a great vibe. Amazing food and ambiance. Definitely will go back

Was a great place to have a good dinner before going to The Guild. Service was quick and efficient, it was slightly chilly but the outdoor heaters did the job. Great musical accompaniment playing Ottmar Liebert in the background, not loud at all, just very pleasant.Brussels sprouts appetizer was delicious, and the seafood was pasta was huge, leftovers today. Two yummy cocktails, no dessert because we were full. Not an inexpensive dinner but the ambience was great, service very good, and delicious food made it all well worth it.

We met friends here on a Wednesday evening. We love the patio setting and ambiance of the place. We shared the Burrata Pesto which was delicious with purple watercress. Two of us had the Caesar salad, which was ok, not spectacular though. I had wanted to order the Mussels, but unfortunately they were out of them that night. Instead, one of my friends and I ordered the Seed crusted chicken Katsu. It was good, but very salty. It was served with some shaved cabbage, but would have been better with some rice to help with the saltiness of the chicken. My husband ordered the steak and loved it. One other of our friends ordered the Pappardelle with wild boar ragu and really liked that as well. We had a great server, I believe her name was Sarah!
