Menlo Grill Bistro & Bar has a new executive chef, Chuck Courtney, who comes to the Stanford Park Hotel restaurant from Bistro at the Park in Lafayette, also owned by Woodside Hotels.

A graduate of the Western Culinary School in Portland, Oregon, Mr. Courtney has cooked at many top West Coast restaurants, including the Viceroy in Palm Springs.

Mr. Courtney is offering guests some new dining options, including a prime rib Sunday supper and a Thursday night outdoor barbecue featuring ribs and strawberry shortcake. We hear the cheddar chive biscuits and the lobster rolls are terrific.

The Bistro is open every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
