   Food was decent, pizza was disappointing, but Pasta was great. Service was the low point. We had to keep requesting for someone to take our order at the beginning and during. They did not bring the wine that we ordered until we were almost done eating and told us they couldn't locate the wine we ordered in the cellar. Towards the end they were nice, tried to pour complimentary wine. But overall disappointed with the service. For the high-end prices, we expected better.

   I felt the pizza was flavorless and took about 4550 minutes to get to the table. The pork chop had some good flavor as well as the beans that were on the plate and the meat salad tasted good but at $150 I will not be going back.

   Great food, good service. Just a bit chilly sitting outdoors even with the heaters. Missed having an after dinner espresso.

   After really looking forward to our return experience: I think the lesson learned is not to come on a busy holiday weekend. It was packed. We waited for at least 15 minutes with a reservation. Lesson learned about bar sitting too The pork chop was very very fatty and our butter beans ( which we love) we very uneven in their cooking. The bar staff ( where we sat) was really inattentive and we like them. Had a great time last time with them. I had to wait for quite a while for just water - then to add sparking water and then to order drinks and then to order more drinks and to get spoons to eat our dessert with. I mean c’mon- we were right in front of you 🫣 We like the staff and the food but overall this was not very encouraging to return when we didn’t love it and it’s not a cheap meal (300$) for three of us with two entrees and a veg. That’s a lot. Anyway - I love the city Che Fico and will probably go there instead. Best of luck - Menlo Park seems to love you.

   Service was slow, communication was poor: they decided not to serve pizza at all for the day because the chef wasn’t happy with the sough (?) but were conveniently not telling anybody this until they tried to order a pizza. Shady move to avoid people bailing in their reservations. Took 30 minutes from being seated to being able to put in anything but the initial drink order. At this level of price, none of this is acceptable

    As someone who has never felt compelled to write a restaurant review in 27 years, I regret that my first one has to be negative. My girlfriend and I dined at Che Fico Menlo for the first time on Valentine’s Day, hoping for a memorable experience. Unfortunately, the evening fell short in multiple ways. The service was underwhelming, and the food quality did not meet expectations—especially given the steep price of the fixed menu. The appetizers were very bland, the pasta was overcooked, and the chocolate cake tasted store-bought. The only item we truly enjoyed was the gelato. To make matters worse, we were seated in a back room, separated from the main dining area, which diminished the ambiance we were looking forward to. Having dined at many high-end restaurants, we can confidently say this meal was not worth the $500 price tag. We had high hopes for Che Fico, but sadly, it did not live up to them. We will not be returning.
