Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Pacific Catch starts serving its sustainable seafood in Palo Alto tonight
Uploaded: Jan 6, 2020
Bay Area seafood restaurant Pacific Catch is opening its newest location tonight, Monday, Jan. 6, at Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto.
The owners of Pacific Catch
took over the longtime Max's Opera Cafe space in 2018 and planned to open the following summer, but gutting and rebuilding the massive space took more than a year. The restaurant (711 Stanford Shopping Center, located next to Cocola Bakery and across from Sigona's Farmers Market) seats 200 and has two outside patios with fire pits.

Pacific Catch, which Keith Cox and Aaron Noveshen started in San Francisco in 2003, serves oysters, ceviche, poke, sushi rolls, grilled seasonal fish, salads and sandwiches, among other fare. There's also wine, beer and cocktails. View the menu
here.
Pacific Catch is committed to sustainability at its restaurants, including sourcing seafood from environmentally responsible sources as defined by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, using compostable eating utensils and straws, recycling fryer oil into bio fuel and composting food waste. New locations are built with the environment in mind, such as by adding water-saving toilets and drought-resistant landscaping, according to the Pacific Catch website.
The Palo Alto restaurant joins nine other Pacific Catch locations throughout the Bay Area, including in
Mountain View.
Pacific Catch will be open for dinner only this week (walk-ins only), Monday through Thursday from 5-9 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Saturday. Regular business hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
