Horsefeather, an American-style restaurant and cocktail bar, is opening their second location in Palo Alto’s Town and Country Village after finding success in San Francisco. The restaurant will be located in Building 5, near Palmetto Superfood and Oren’s Hummus. It is expected to open in early 2025.

Palo Alto’s Horsefeather will be larger than San Francisco’s, include a new lunch menu and open earlier in the day. They will also offer brunch on the weekends that is themed around classic comfort foods, while also offering a twist on the classic American dining scene via fun drinks and dishes. Their comfort foods include fried chicken, cheeseburgers, and roast beef. Their drinks are more unique, incorporating less-common ingredients such as hibiscus, blood orange, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.

Prior to the opening of Horsefeather’s first location, owners Justin Lew and Ian Scalzo ran a more temporary, pop-up style bar called Tsk/tsk in the same space. During this time, they awaited permits and plans to renovate the area. The Town and Country environment will be similar to their first location, with ambient lighting along with decorations “inspired by the American Arts & Crafts Period,” according to the Horsefeather website.

The Greek-Mediterranean chain Nick the Greek is a fan-favorite, with locations in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Texas. Founded in 2014 by three cousins — all named Nick — the chain originated in the Bay Area, where they grew up. The restaurant will be located at 322 University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto, replacing the high-end Korean restaurant, Maum, but has yet to announce an opening date.

The main dishes on the menu consist of gyro pitas, which are made by using a Greek style of cooking and serving meat that uses a rotisserie, bowls and plates. The most popular items include the Chicken Gyro Bowl, beef or lamb Gyro Pita and Greek salad. The majority of the entrees include chicken, beef or lamb. They also offer vegan and vegetarian options, including falafels, salads and various side dishes.

Although they are not yet open, advertisements are already being hung on the outside of the building in anticipation for its arrival. The chain recently celebrated opening their Mountain View location.
