Reviews for Thyme in Palo Alto, CA
This was a restaurant we found on yelp because we were in the area. Never heard of it. Small cozy place with excellent food.... Chef Winston was really nice to come out and ask us how everything was. Small menu but something for everyone sort of menu. Wesampled many different apps and entress (4 of us). Succulant lamb, great crab cakes, very fresh salmon and prawns as well. Sauces, flavors all around outstanding. My beet salad was sooo good. Perfect amount of dressing. Beautiful presentation. Prices match the high quality and fresh ingredients. Very good service, unobtrusive yet server seemed to be aware the moment weneeded something. Also quite casual which we like. We are there for the food and not the hoity- toity behavior. So we couldrelax (especially after a long work week). I recommend reservations. Read more
Very sophisticated flavors and presentation, much more than you'd expect for a casual neighborhood place, which this is. The... kitchen really hits it out of the park. The wine list is impressive as well: for example the by-the-glass Cab Franc has thatperfect musty edge that makes it pair well with all the food. It takes guts to do that because some people don't likethat... You can dress, you can go somewhat casual, it's all good. Good for talking because it's not too noisy. Read more
A perfect place for a romantic date. Awesome food (we went for 4 starters And 2 deserts), easy listening music, quiet, and a... friendly waiter, Maurizio. My favorites: scallops with caviar, roasted beets, goat cheese with dried apricot. Read more
The food here is so good! But the best part of this restaurant is actually the service. It's friendly and passionate - we hugged... our server on the way out ???? Read more
Had the seared scallops and the lamb. Husband had the crab cakes. Wonderful!!!! Loved the waiter! Went for our anniversary and... was totally worth it. Will be back again. Read more
Best food I have had in Palo Alto!! The lamb was so tender; definitely the best I?ve had. The dessert was a perfect end to the... meal (warm apple tart with delicious custard), and the wine paired great. The vibe is relaxed and simple. Menu is small, butthat?s because everything on it is cooked perfectly. Cant go wrong with anything here. Highly recommend. Read more
My boyfriend and I brought my mother here for her birthday dinner. The food was beyond delicious. The server was super nice. I... love the cozy but chic atmosphere. The chef came out to ask my mom about putting something in her meal that isn't usually in itwhich was very considerate. They even put a candle in her dessert and sang her Happy birthday! They really do their best toaccommodate. It was still early in the evening so there weren't many costumers yet but the other costumers also sang along whichwas really nice of them. None of us had ever been there before but I'm so glad I chose to celebrate my mom's day with her here!Would highly recommend to anyone! Read more
Had an amazing dinner here. Promptly greeted by the chef, Winston. You can tell that Winston loves what he does, he prepared our... food like he was serving his family on a special occasion. Had an order of mussels, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Best part wasdoing some of the bread in the juice, soaked up all the flavor. Ordered the steak medium rare, it came out juicy and tender,full of flavor, simply but perfectly accompanied with mushrooms and onions. Kat was our server for the night, Kat is a realtreat. Entertaining throughout the whole dinner, explained everything beautifully. Definitely a place to go for an intimatedining experience. Read more
