The Los Altos Grill is a neighborhood lunch and dinner tradition, and our go-to place for classic American comfort food, from hearty steaks to jalapeño cornbread.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the 47th Annual Los Altos Festival of Lights parade. We were overjoyed to see many friends and clients stop by a reception at the Los Altos Compass office to share the warm and cozy holiday spirit over drinks, tea, and of course, cookies!
I love entertaining. That’s why it’s been so invigorating to get back to live events and interact face-to-face with friends, family, clients, and neighbors. But we also know illness lurks around every corner, so this is a friendly reminder to get your flu shot and COVID vaccine!
In case you missed this year’s parade, you can save the date for the next one on December 1, 2024. No one knows what the next year will bring, but if it’s anything like recent history, it’s sure to be exciting and unpredictable. So hold onto your hats and buckle up for a wild ride!
