A Place For and By Food and Wine Lovers by LBarlow via Citysearch on 8/6/2010
This is a great spot for a hedonistic meal with someone you love or to impress business associates. The menu includes California bistro dishes beautifully prepared and presented. For lunch try the Niman Ranch sirloin burger with truffle…
Exceeded Expectations by FudeAddikt via Citysearch on 10/7/2008
I took my fiancee here for her 30th birthday with her family and had a wonderful experience. The staff was not only attentive, but kind and knowledgable about the entire menu and provided great recommendations. The only negative was that…

Favorite restaurant by eric c. via Judy's Book on 8/19/2005
This is my family's favorite restaurant. We come here about once per week. I bring many coworkers, friends, and visitors here. It is a very casual french restaurant. Unpretentious. It is limited seating so you will want to get a…

A Little Trip To Elan by elvissinatra via Citysearch on 2/24/2003
I dined at this small and hip bistro on California Avenue in Palo Alto on a recent evening. Overall, the food at Bistro Elan is very good. The desserts are excellent. However, if you read the press clippings before going, as I did, the…
