Barron Park

4.5/5(36 area reviews)

Though Barron Park might not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like San Antonio Shopping Center and Stanford Maples Pavillion.

Barron Park
These guys fuse Vietnamese food with their own, local knowledge, in a beautiful low lit setting, and hit it out of the park. Shaking beef, black cod, crab and shrimp noodles, dry sauteed curry string beans, accompanied by a frosty Saigon Vietnamese beer. Reminded me of Monsoon in Seattle, or The Slanted Door in SF. Good, knowledgable and helpful wait staff provide a very memorable dining experience.  Can't wait to go back.

University South

4.5/5(55 area reviews)

While University South might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Stanford Stadium and Stanford Shopping Center.

University South
That's a lamb roasting in the middle of the restaurant.  Deals are being done over spanikopita and tsatsiki.  Great spot

"Clean quiet place to stay. We had appointments at Children’s hospital and this was about a 10 minute drive. Price was good for the area. Plenty of towels and pillows but beds were a little too hard for me."

I accidentally booked Dinah's Garden Hotel in Palo Alto, not realizing how far it actually was from the San Jose airport. Fortunately, we left early enough in the morning that traffic wasn't a problem and we arrived at the airport in 15-20 minutes.
