Food is an expression at Baumé in Palo Alto. From delicate caviar with lemon and berry to goat cheese soufflé to the most elegant sorbet I have seen, the entire meal played with my expectations and combined different tastes in ways I was not used to.

It is also a family-run business, and you can tell that they truly bring their heart and soul to work every day. One of the co-owners served as a waitstaff throughout the meal, and I would’ve never guessed. These are humble, talented, and truly engaged people cooking and serving great things. If I could eat every meal in Baumé, I certainly would.
