Son & Garden in Menlo Park

There was a bit of wait even though we had a reservation. But, it was a worth of wait. Good for brunch or lunch! Food was so good and it looks so gorgeous. Restaurant itself was also very beautiful with the photo zone.We would definitely visit again.

Love the food here as always. They always provide quality food and presentation it so well to welcome the guest. I love Tokyo cocktail which is the special here. You can reserve special afternoon tea set 48 hrs in advance. Beautiful decoration and the only downside it’s the Cal Train station next to it which is very loud since all seating areas are outdoor. However, I would love to come back to try out different dishes next time. They have a well decorated room for taking photos.

RP, our waiter, was amazing! He went above and beyond not only on our food service but also customer service. It was my friend and I first time here, we didn’t know there were two different type of reservations. We reserved at the wrong spot (lunch one) but wanted to eat at the breakfast and brunch side. The lady where we made the wrong reservation at had a nasty attitude even when I was trying to ask her a question or if there’s a way we can work something out to not be charged the fee since we didn’t know there were two different reservations but same restaurant. It was an honest mistake and we apologized. She just walked away from us and we were left with the unknown. RP came in and spoke to the manager and they gave us a one time waive and exception which was really nice of him! This wasn’t his job. The atmosphere and decorations are beautiful!RP attentive, approachable, respectful and very on top of things. He made sure we had a great experience at the restaurant! We will come back because of his great service.

I am in love with this restaurant.The Vibes, the food and atmosphere is top notch.Me and my girlfriends spend a Lovely Brunch at this location.The staffs are amazing and very friendly.They were able to show and explain to us the menu and the house specials for the day.We opted to sit outside and it has a cozy vibes embraced with lots of colorful flowers.Food is excellent as each and every dish is prepared with Love and art.I am obsessed with their blueberry panacotta pancake with warm maple syrup,also try their sakura latte- it resembles like a rose latte,creamy and aromatic💕

Super cute and aesthetic brunch place! We made reservations so there was no wait. The coffee and seasonal sakura latte came in cute cups and tasted pretty good. We ordered the Son&Garden Omelet and the Salmon Benedict. The omelet was really tasty and while the salmon benedict was good I felt that it lacked some extra flavour and have had better elsewhere. Overall a good meal and the staff was very nice!

This one is located right across a Menlo Park Caltrain Station. They have only a few parking spots in front of their restaurant and the rest is either for the train station or other business (just FYI). Oh they’re only open during brunch hours (9am - 3pm).I am not from the area but wanted to see what all the hype was about. Clearly, It’s a beautiful Ambiance with flowers surrounding the restaurant. When I made the reservations, it kept saying they only had patio seating ONLY?!? There’s a spot for photography (selfies, group pics, Queen pic) whatever you want to call it lol.The food according to my family was enjoyable and it was ok. My entree though was very good. I ordered the Bone-in Short Ribs with Kimchi fried rice. The meat was so tender it fell off the bone. It was juicy, and had kind of a sweet savory taste. Loved it. The kimchi fried rice was perfect!The service was great. No issues no complaints. The price but a bit high for me. I thought it was ridiculous that they charged an additional $10 just for egg whites and $10 for two pieces of bacon. The drinks were very good! The overall experience was good but I don’t think I’d make a special trip again (unless invited to a party). Didn’t see what the hype was about except that it was a really beautiful restaurant.

The food is creatively presented and quite tasty. Prices are above average. And the service... I wish it could be better. No one greeted us when we came in, and we felt unnoticed. Waiting for a table to have lunch took a very long time. Mixed feelings about this place.

Horrible Experience !!! Felt discriminated!!!We were a party of 6 and waited a couple of mins for seating. Make sure you have a reservation before visiting the restaurant.Food, drinks and ambience was decent.The lady who was assigning seats is a bit rude and extremely unwelcoming!!!The only thing that put me off was after some time when we were almost done with the food but 2 of my friends were still working on the food & drinks, the waiters kept approaching towards our table and kept staring. Even the lady assigning tables kept standing right next to our tables - as if they were indicating us to get up. At the end, the waiter literally started joining another table with the table I was on. He left and came back after few mins and again removed the table. Later he again joined back the table and removed. There was constant noise around this and later I asked him if he wants us to leave. He apologised and mentioned that there is bigger party arriving and hence he was joining the table and keeping it ready. Like seriously!!! He also mentioned that he was asked by the lady to arrange the tables!!! Few of us are still working on the food and you are literally join tables with ours. This entire experience just put me off and I just wanted to leave.Not sure if we were discriminated based on color.

The presentation, service, and atmosphere were great but the food is mediocre at best. The scone was a bit hard and textured like a muffin. The madeleine was also similar to muffin and not much flavor to it. Ham and cheese danish was hard and cold. Other desserts on the menu like macaron, and pastries were very sweet that you could only take a bite.For the price, its good value and get more than what you paid for. Just dont expect it to be on par with other restaurants that serve something similar. Only recommend coming here on some special occasions for the pics on social media but dont come here expecting good-tasting food.

Visually great! Would recommend trying it out at least once! But be aware that if youre health conscious, this is going to be an heavy meal 🐷During peak times over the weekends can get very crowded. Make sure not to miss the chair next to the flower wall to take your IG story for the day 📸Liked the patty with benedict eggs 🍳
