“ Came here later in the evening so the views and sunset were really nice! Drinks were good and cute but a bit on the pricey side in my opinion (understandable considering location, etc.). Took a very long time to get our drinks and pay though. ”

“ My husband surprised me with a rooftop bar date and this location was surprisingly lovely. I wouldn't except downtown Palo Alto to have a rooftop bar but the views of the sunset and clouds over the mountains in the distance was beautiful. The menu is small but they still have a big non-alcoholic cocktail menu. I forgot the name of my drink but it was bubbly and citrusy. They didn't have the Ingredients for the drink listed that night so it was a blood orange twist but still pretty good. There is also a small food menu so I ordered some olives to snack on (always a classic) and tried the coconut rice pudding which was ok... there wasn't a lot of flavor but it was an alright snack to balance the salty olives. The ambiance of the place is absolutely lovely and they give you wool blankets to borrow as it gets chilly... this is a perfect place for a date ! ”
“ Great spot to catch up or date night. the burrata was delicious and the staff are professional and kind. Drinks were refreshing on hot summer afternoon. ”
“ The President's Terrace is located on the roof of the Graduate Hotel in downtown Palo Alto They had an event the evening when we stopped by so it took an hour on the waitlist to get seated. Once in, we were put at one of their small tables off from the fire place. The rooftop is small with seating being mostly for groups of 2-3 people. The decor is so cozy and reflects the hotels overall vintage southwest theme. Perfect setting for a quick drink or romantic date night spot. The food menu was quite limited and any of the food items we tried were decent but nothing particularly notable. Out of the items, my favorite would have to be their mushroom flatbread I wouldn't recommend this place if you're really hungry or expect to have a full meal. Most of the items were small and lean to lighter food fare. But it's a great place to grab a pre dinner drink or pit stop on a sunny day shopping on University Ave ”
“ We decided to make a pit stop at the President's Terrace for a couple of cocktails and some light appetizers before our main dinner at Nobu. We were looking forward to a pleasant afternoon on the rooftop bar. Upon our arrival, we found that the staff seemed tired, likely from a busy happy hour rush. I can't rave about the cocktails or food, as we only tried a couple of dishes, but the view, ambiance, and decor were undeniably appealing. We're definitely considering returning when the weather is more favorable. Overall, the President's Terrace is an excellent spot for unwinding with friends or colleagues after work. It doesn't seem to accommodate large parties with limited seating. It's also festive and charming, making it a great choice for a fun date as well. ”
