I went here for my birthday 3 years in a row, I loved it so much. I always start off with the calamari, the sauce that goes with it is great. The clam chowder is to-die-for, and the prime rib of course is awesome!
Our waiters were always quick, friendly, and professional. The restaurant is pretty dark, but I never mind.

The lamb chops at this place are so fantastic that it is a reason to go by itself. However, I go for the great ambiance. It is open till 11pm, which is definitely not the norm in Palo Alto. The service is satisfactory, though often overly obsequious.

This is the best New Orleans style food I've had outside the South. It's fresh and authentic and has a real blend of flavors: they don't cook stuff until it's all mushed into one flavor; rather, you can taste multiple different subtle (and, depending on the dish, not-so-subtle) flavors in each bite.
It's usually crowded and noisy. The servers are sometimes overworked: they're always on the go and I never see them lazing around, but it's still sometimes hard to get drink refills and so on.
I should make it clear that I'm a certified old fuddy-duddy and like to converse over dinner. For some young single folks the noise might be part of the excitement.
If you're looking for New Orleans-style food, this is the place to go.
Pros: The chef(s) really know how to cook New Orleans style food right.
Cons: The noise, the crowding

I went to the Thursday night tasting event with a friend, and it was great! It was fun to be able to taste at the pace you want, how much you want, as well as choose what you want to taste. The small plates of food were all yummy, and went well with the wines! The service was great and the bartenders were very educated on the wines. I highly recommend going to this restaurant, it's a great place to go with a group of friends, family, or a great first date spot!
Pros: Ambiance, Food, Wine

We have had Chinese food all over the world, including China, Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco.......this is by far the best we have had! We enjoyed salt & pepper scallops, Minced chicken in lettuce leaves, tiger prawns, honey beef with garlic, fried rice and pea shoots with garlic. Each dish was excellent....beautifully prepared, flavored perfectly.......quality of the ingredients was outstanding.
Go there!
Pros: service, food quality

This restaurant is close to my work and our staff was looking for a good restaurant. Since my fiance knows a lot of local businesses, I asked him for a recommendation. He told me to try Reposado. We were very satisfied and plan on coming back in the future. Thank you Reposado!
Pros: Good Service
