As always, I love the fireplaces at Rosewood and make sure to request a seat by one. Mateo, our server, was excellent and provided outstanding service. He mentioned that he enjoys his job, and I truly believe he deserves to be promoted. His dedication and attentiveness made the experience even more enjoyable. Regards from Anda

I had a wonderful time at the Pinktober High Tea experience! The ambience was lovely, and I truly enjoyed myself. The food was exceptional and, honestly, even better than the traditional high tea selections I’ve experienced at Four Seasons. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious! I typically don’t care for macaroons, but the Guava Ginger Macaroon was absolutely delicious and pleasantly surprised me. The Jumbo Crab Éclair was another standout, along with all the tea sandwich selections. Chef’s kiss! 👏🏽✨ My only disappointment was that the blooming tea wasn't available, as I had really been looking forward to experiencing it since it's one of my favorites. Overall, it was another lovely experience, and Four Seasons continues to deliver the elevated atmosphere and quality I’ve come to appreciate. I look forward to returning! 🩷🥂

Very grateful to staff for providing a table inside as we had requested and was confirmed on our reservation. We initially were seated outside however the host and others were able to relocate us inside - as one of our guests couldn’t tolerate the chilly weather. Thank you.

Delarosa Palo Alto is a fantastic spot for Italian food at Stanford Shopping Center! The Roman-style pizza is amazing—crispy, thin crust with delicious toppings and the perfect balance of flavors. The burrata bruschetta with hazelnut and honey and the meatballs in spicy tomato sauce are also highlights and great for sharing. Friendly, attentive service and a lively, welcoming atmosphere make it a great choice for date night, dinner with friends, or lunch after shopping. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious pizza and Italian food in Palo Alto!

What a fantastic, non-traditional tea experience. Everyone should go here at least once, but I recommend more! The themed tea event was spectacular from the decor, food, and welcoming team. I highly recommend and I will be back.
