What Kennedy Dickinson doesn't like about Thyme:
Good food made with passion and care. Limited menu, and everything is fresh and seasonal. On the pricey side if I compare similar food in Palo Alto. A small place with one server for all tables. View all feedback. What Dave likes about Thyme:
Thyme is a cozy yet comfortable small restaurant. We began our meal with the asparagus and beet salad, which was delicious with a nice combination of flavors and textures. For our main courses, we ordered the lamb chops and the red cabbage and sausage dish, both of which were expertly cooked. The sausage and cabbage dish was particularly flavorful and satisfying. The wine selection, although limited, was also impress... View all feedback.

Really enjoyed everything! Very fresh, great flavor and attentive service, we will definitely go back!

Tom George is a casual neighborhood spot in Palo Alto that offers a mix of highs and lows. The restaurant features a cozy atmosphere and offers a small but well-prepared menu. While some dishes, such as the truffle fries, lamb, and dessert, are outstanding, others like the steak sandwich and under-seasoned options leave something to be desired. The service is generally good, with some guests receiving complimentary drinks for a scheduling mishap, while others experience long wait times for their entrees. Chef Winston is praised for his attention to detail and flavorful dishes, such as succulent lamb and fresh seafood options. Overall, the restaurant offers a mix of sophisticated flavors and good presentations in a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a casual date night. With a strong wine list and attentive service, Tom George is a place worth checking out for those looking for a unique dining experience in Palo Alto.
