<p><strong>MENLO PARK &#8212; </strong>San Francisco-based DivcoWest is celebrating the opening of Sand Hill Kitchen, a brand-new regionally inspired restaurant located within The Quad at Sand Hill Collection (SHC) in Menlo Park. The restaurant pairs an inventive menu featuring sustainable and seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients with bright, modern design and ample outdoor dining space. It’s the newest addition to Sand Hill Collection’s vibrant ecosystem of world-class offices, activated open spaces, and standout amenities along a coveted stretch of Sand Hill Road.</p>
<p>Situated among rolling, oak-studded hills overlooking Stanford University and the surrounding valley, Sand Hill Kitchen’s airy interior is adorned with lush greenery and modern California ranch-style décor thoughtfully designed to complement the site’s iconic architecture and seamlessly connect with the adjoining outdoor atrium. To start, the full-service restaurant will welcome the public for breakfast and lunch, offering indoor and outdoor seated dining and a grab-and-go counter, with plans for liquor service and a dedicated happy hour menu in the near future.</p>
<p>“We didn’t decide on the word ‘kitchen’ by accident,” said Benjamin Elder, Managing Director at DivcoWest. “We envisioned the space as an extension of this most important place in one’s home, a first and last stop of the day in the heart of the campus where the community can grab a quick cup of coffee, enjoy a casual business lunch with colleagues, or come together to laugh, debate, and pitch ideas.” Sand Hill Kitchen is part and parcel of DivcoWest’s overall vision for Sand Hill Collection – creating places that bring people together and foster wellness in all its forms, where life and work can be effortlessly integrated and mutually fulfilling.</p>
<p>“We’ve taken great care in curating an experience that aligns with what our Sand Hill Collection members and Menlo Park neighbors are looking for,” said Elder. “Sand Hill Road has a long history as a place for Silicon Valley innovators to gather and collaborate. We’re thrilled to build upon that legacy and offer a new place of connection, relaxation, and inspiration.”</p>
<p>To help bring this concept to life, DivcoWest has tapped food service partner, Bon Appétit Management Company, and placed Executive Chef Nicolai Tuban at the helm.</p>
<p>“Sand Hill Kitchen is all about celebrating the Northern California lifestyle and offering a fresh perspective on farm-to-table cuisine, starting with the ingredients,” said Tuban. “In addition to featuring local produce, Sand Hill Kitchen will serve humanely raised meat, certified cage-free shell eggs and responsibly sourced fish. Further, we’re looking at ways to reduce food waste and trim transportation, including a planned on-site garden to provide hyperlocal harvest and a peaceful space for our guests to explore.”</p>
<p>The menu at Sand Hill Kitchen features wholesome salads, sandwiches, and entrées, including elevated classics and inventive new dishes like:</p>
<p><em>Bodega sandwich with local farm egg, cheddar, arugula, herb aioli &; house-made miso pork sausage</em></p>
<p><em>Greek yogurt parfait with house-made maple granola, berries, local honey &; bee pollen</em></p>
<p><em> Brined Chicken Paillard with crumbed Mary’s chicken breast, caper aioli, frisee, &; meyer lemon</em><br />
<em> </em><em><br />
Thai salad with herb mix, carrot, green papaya, cucumber, candied cashew, &; sweet chili vinaigrette</em></p>
<p><em>Grilled wild-caught salmon with blistered peppers, toasted farro, parsley, lemon &; salsa verde</em></p>
<p><em>Grass-fed beef burger with American cheese, house dressing, konbu pickle, shaved onion &; bibb lettuce</em></p>
<p>Sand Hill Kitchen is located within The Quad at Sand Hill Collection, 2400 Sand Hill Road, Suite 203 in Menlo Park. The restaurant is currently open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 2:00 p.m.</p>
