I heard about this restaurant through word of mouth that it has quality ingredients, so I've been wanting to try it for a long time!
According to it's menu, "Taverna uses an abundance of local, seasonal ingredients to highlight the finest of Hellenic cuisine. Enjoy the
warmth and hospitality of Old World Greece as part of our family."
The food does taste intentionally crafted and high quality. Here's the chicken gyro (fries swapped out for a nice assortment of steamed veggies) and the burger with fries. Everything was good, I gobbled up the gyro. The pita bread was unlike any other pita I've had before, it was crispy and excellent!
Service is very welcoming and accommodating, and the ambience is cozy like you're in someone's home.
The restaurant is located in downtown Palo Alto right across from the Whole Foods on Emerson Street. There's also ample outdoor seating with heat lamps too.
Come check it out!
