" Overall, I had a good meal at Cafe 220. The food was fresh and enjoyable but could use more consistent flavors. The service was decent. I was a bit surprised by how busy it got, but the staff managed well even during peak times. I think I’ll come back to give it another shot and see if there have been improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had! Every dish we tried was fresh. The chicken shish kebab was flavorful, and I loved the freshly made tabouleh. The service was stellar, and we really enjoyed the ambiance. I felt like I was transported back to a quaint little cafe in the Mediterranean. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow! What an experience! I can't believe I waited this long to try Cafe 220. The Tantuni wrap is something you definitely want to order! The staff was super friendly, and they helped us choose our dishes, which I appreciated since it was my first visit. The outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny day. I’ll definitely be coming back here whenever I’m in the area. The only downside was that the parking was a bit tricky, so you might want to plan ahead! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try Cafe 220 during our visit to Palo Alto. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff were welcoming. We ordered the mixed grill platter, which was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I also loved the complimentary Turkish tea we received, it was a nice touch. However, the pricing seemed a bit high for the portion sizes. Overall, it was a delightful experience, but there’s room for improvement with the portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I tried Cafe 220 based on others' recommendations, and I'm glad we did! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the food did not disappoint. The Chicken Shish Kebab was juicy and well-cooked. Service was attentive, but we did wait a little longer for our meals. I still think it’s a great place to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely spot for a casual meal! The staff are delightful and the food is quite good. We enjoyed the lamb and beef gyro wraps. They were loaded with fresh ingredients but fell a bit short in spices. Still, my experience was mostly positive, and it’s always nice to be greeted with a hot cup of tea at the end of the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was feeling adventurous, so I ordered the Alexander Kebab. It did not disappoint! It was generous in portion and packed with flavors. The staff provided exceptional service, always checking on us. The complimentary tea was lovely, too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone craving Mediterranean food. " (*Curated Review*)
