Our waiter, Yannis, immediately recognized us from Meyhouse Sunnyvale which was a nice beginning. Our party of 8 enjoyed the chef’s tasting and all guests enjoyed the variety of dishes. Thanks for a great dinner.

Experience was better than most other restaurants of comparable menu/price. The entrance to the inside was sort of weird with the black curtains. But all in all I’d like to come back and recommend it to others.

I took my wife there to celebrate her birthday. Nice attention on the table with a birthday card put by the staff. We decided to go with the tasting menu ($98 per person) as it was our first time and wanted to try many different things. 4 cold appetizers, 2 hot appetizers, 2 main dishes and 1 dessert. Food was really excellent: kopoglu and lakerda were the 2 top cold meze, the octopus (hot meze) was perfect and the lamb chops perfectly cooked and super savory. Only one dessert served for 2 (sütlaç) which was a little disappointing as they have 6 different appetizing desserts on the menu. Service was perfect, very attentive. Only 2 small complaints: -a very noisy table in the middle of the restaurant that raised the noise level for the entire place - we went there at 8 pm (so late for Palo Alto standards) and by 9:15, some of the staff were folding napkins on a counter next to us (preparing for the next day I assume)which seems to indicate that they were ready to close (this is ok in a small family restaurant, not really in a high end establishment). All in all, a very pleasant experience, great food, for a special occasion.

Good food. Poor service. No one came by for over 20 mins after we were seated - we had to flag someone down. And then just an hour later after we finished our meal, we were politely asked to leave because the next party was waiting. Odd experience. Not returning.

Meyhouse Palo Alto is an excellent restaurant for Turkish Mediterranean food. The food was really exceptional. They make their own delicious creamy yogurt which they use in dishes. So if you enjoy yogurt, you will love this place and they have unique salads and excellent fish on the menu. The food is super healthy and delicious. I definitely want to go back for more. They have a full bar and excellent Turkish wines. The restaurant is also nicely designed. But it can get a little noisy in some places where there might be larger groups.

Meyhouse again exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent and the service outstanding and the ambiance fun. One of our party has a gluten allergy, and the staff was very accommodating. We’ll surely be back.
