What Eric Arellano likes about Dan Gordon's:
My family and I came here for a special Valentine's Day dinner and ordered the barbecue meat plate with mac n' cheese, two salads, and tried their own beer. The hostess surprised my wife and daughter with roses, which was a lovely touch. While the food was tasty, the standout was definitely the beer. We tried the Radle and Dan Gordo, both of which were slightly sweet and very smooth. The only drawback was that it was... View all feedback. What Lexus Zulauf doesn't like about Dan Gordon's:
They closed 30 minutes after we arrived for a private party. Why did they let us make a reservation when we couldn’t even order food? I had a beer and left with my friend because their kitchen closed. We both drove an hour each way to meet in Palo Alto. Super bummed! I’ve had good experiences here before, but someone should disable reservations on days you close early. View all feedback.

Overall, the restaurant received mixed reviews from customers. While some praised the friendly staff, great location, and nice atmosphere, others were disappointed with the food and drinks. The fried chicken stood out as a highlight, but other dishes like the mac and cheese and brisket were underwhelming. Prices were deemed high for the quality of food received. On a positive note, the beer selection was well-received by many, with some customers considering it the best part of their dining experience. The service was also commended, with special mentions of staff going above and beyond to make guests feel comfortable. Families with children seemed to enjoy the restaurant, as did meetup groups looking for a friendly atmosphere. Despite some shortcomings, many expressed a desire to return, hopeful that the food quality would improve.

Great place to eat a good old smoked meat. The smoked salmon, turkey and chicken are top notches. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

I came here for a team event. The atmosphere was great and the meat was delicious. The beer selection was also quite good. Pretty expensive.

Unfortunately, Open Table was unaware that this restaurant is closed. It shuttered in March due to County Orders.

The service at the restaurant was slow and filled with mistakes. The chips were cut into very small pieces, making them unsuitable for dipping.
