Gravity Bistro - Palo Alto

Lacks charm. The food and menu are ok but ambiance is the downside.

Incredibly overpriced, minimum quality food. They charge you $20 for a cheese plate , which was bringing you 2 uncut chunks of cheese which look and taste like they had been left in the fridge for weeks. And the salami/prosciutto was on the same level...served with this very bizarre and completely random cheap spongey bread...Had I known, I would 've gotten better quality and twice the amount of cheese at Trader Joe 's or Safeway for half the price. The only good thing about this place is decent beer and it stays open late, but if you want stomachable food that doesn 't drain your wallet, go to your local grocery store. The food served here comes nowhere near justifying the prices.

Went there for the first time. Horrible service. The employee was busy talking with someone, did not even care to help.

Good cocktails and food. Some hits and some misses, but overall one of the better places in Palo Alto to get a cocktail.

Gravity is just what you might expect for a restaurant bar in downtown Palo Alto. This is a perfect spot to meet an acquaintance or bring a date to an impressive meal without coming off as excessive. The meals are appropriately portioned and though you might pay a little more the food delivers in a great way. I recommend Gravity for those slightly special occasions where a local bar won't do it and you're looking for upscale but not over the top.
