Cedar & Sage Bistro & Lounge

Wine-focused bistro and lounge coming to Stanford Shopping Center from the owners of The Winery Restaurant in Orange County. Chef-driven menu with custom paintings of R&B and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artists throughout.

Cedar & Sage Bistro & Lounge is a forthcoming Stanford Shopping Center restaurant with an appealing plan for wine, small plates, and a lively evening atmosphere. The team behind The Winery is developing the Palo Alto concept around chef Yvon Goetz's cooking and a wine-focused dining experience. We like the proposed combination of California Wine Country influences and approachable dishes designed for sharing. The restaurant describes its direction as inventive small plates alongside familiar crowd-pleasers, with cocktails and live music also part of the announced concept. Its planned lounge setting suggests a place to extend a shopping-center visit into an evening out. Cedar & Sage is still advertised as coming soon, so the opening date and final menu should be confirmed before making plans.
