Joey PillowSeptember 11, 2018I loved the steak tartare. But Gravity is all about the alchemy of food and wine together, so ask for a recommendation. I went with the Pinot from the French Backback flight (worth a tip on its own).UpvoteDownvote
Shali NguyenApril 10, 2017Among the many crowded bars in downtown PA, this place will generally have a spot where you can grab a table, a wine flight and cheese plate. You can almost always grab a reservation same day on OT!UpvoteDownvote
Come for happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm) - great selection of food and drinks at affordable prices!

Juston PayneDecember 30, 2012Braised beef short ribs were tender and flavorful, and the bread pudding dessert lived up to the hype.

PoojaMay 23, 2014Entree quantities are small so larger portion of pasta (6 oz.) was sufficient for dinner (after having appetizers)UpvoteDownvote
Shirley LiuAugust 19, 2012Cute place to grab a glass of wine (or beer) at, less crowded than The Wine RoomUpvoteDownvote
Rudy HernandezOctober 7, 2012Unexpected discovery: Apple Crostada, Caramel Sea Salt Gelato. Incredibly delicious.UpvoteDownvote
Sarah Sled LentJanuary 8, 2011Last night was great. Tonight, bartender less attentive, and gave a bad pour on my wine- just because you finish the end of a bottle doesn't mean my glass is full.

William GunnSeptember 30, 2015Stick with the wine. Cocktail quality is highly dependent on who's working.UpvoteDownvote
Kevin DuffieldJune 4, 2014Mussels are good. Sea scallops are also better than average.UpvoteDownvote- Victor TsaranMarch 26, 2011Panna Cota was good and so was thee wine. I would also suggest chicken thighs!Upvote1Downvote

Agreed. Go to wine room instead. But the wine room doesn't have meals. Food is good at Gravity. Wine list is improving....a littleUpvoteDownvote
Leah WeinsteinJanuary 1, 2013Very mediocre. I can't think of any other way to say it. Great wait staff can't make up for the food.Upvote1Downvote

"Under new management! This place is an absolute gem in the already impressive Palo Alto. Come enjoy a local wine to live music in an open, airy atmosphere. I can't recommend Vino Locale enough!"

"Great beer selection and outdoor seating. Not too much else around in Palo Alto to get that kind of experience. Lots of nerds. The fried fish looks good."
Jeff Weinstein - 8.3
"I love all things New Orleans - this was a great treat! Not inexpensive, but not unreasonable either. The shrimp po boy and red beans and rice were tasty."
Monique Ziesenhenne - 6.5
