Cutting Edge Cuisine 💯 . Ethel’s Fancy is the latest restaurant opening in downtown Palo Alto and Chef Scott Nishiyama’s pedigree from NYC’s Daniel and Napa’s French Laundry ensures that reservations have been popular . The bright and open space has numerous table tops including a private space as well as bar seating . The menu is very accessible and reminds me of State Bird Provisions where the various dish size categories are all meant to be shared . We loved the Japanese-influenced flavors and tried a wide array of items that are all modern, creative and novel more than stereotypical Asian fusion: in many ways, reflective of California cuisine . 📷 Full Belly Farms Cucumbers $8 ~nori caper dressing, horseradish / Toasted Coconut Fritters $16 ~ Wagyu beef, grilled peppercorn / Pears $8.00 / Milk Bread from the Hearth $12 ~ sweet potato & brown butter dip / Crispy Pork Belly $19 ~ burrata, Brussel sprouts, miso caramel / Duck & Crystallized Ginger Dumplings $20 ~ braised Swiss chard / Koshikari Rice $22 ~ hokkaido scallops, schmaltz pesto, beech mushroooms / Five Dot Ranch New York Strip $70 ~ salt & pepper maitake mushrooms, basil oyster vinaigrette / Almond Cookie Soft Serve $12 /Malted Milk Chocolate Fondue $18 . 📍Ethel’s Fancy (Palo Alto, CA) . #eatersf #paloaltoeats #sharedplates #michelin #downtownPA #topcitybites #sffoodie #foodie #nomnom #feed feed #eeeeeats #foodpics #foodgasm #dailyfoodfeed #foodphotography #eatnorthamerica #foodsharinggroup (at Ethel's Fancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHjTCsJqQC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This @norafleming melamine plate has been the most used kitchen item this week 😍. The girls have loved shared platters served on here, like this lunch by dad with pretzels and hummus, sausage balls, cantaloupe, strawberries, and blueberries (already gone 😋). . #snackplatelunch #sharedplates #feedingkids https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccg1qqiLzqO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had a lovely lunch with my boys at the Clipper wanted chicken nuggets but I told him no way, we didn't move to Australia for you to eat nuggets! Instead we shared the vegetable mezze platter. It was so yummy that Matley asked if we could come back and have it again!
