"In Menlo Park, the flagship of chef-owner Jesse Cool’s archipelago of organic eateries still pleases with “carefully thought -out”, “lovingly prepared” Cal–New American dishes fashioned from “environmentally responsible” foodstuffs; Ms. C. “often comes out to chat with patrons” in the dining room, which is “more inviting” since a recent redo (that perhaps outdates the Decor score); it’s always been a go-to spot for “special-occasion” dinners, but “their
best-kept secret is Sunday brunch.” "- Zagat Survey

Menu
 

Early Summer 2005

For over twenty-three years Jesse Cool and the staff of Flea St. Café have been committed to using organic, local, and seasonal ingredients. Our seafood is chosen with respect to the problems created by over fishing and the threat to endangered species. Meat is sustainable, raised without growth hormones or antibiotics. Our chicken is organic. It is through a strong commitment, involving all aspects of the food we prepare for you, that we support a healthier more sustainable environment. We honor and respect the hard-working, caring individuals who grow and produce these nurturing foods.
Thank you for choosing to dine at one of our tables.
