Los Altos needed a place like this. Everything was on point, from beautifully crafted drinks to the timeless elegance of the space. I specifically wanted to shoutout Josh, who made our experience even more incredible, helping us find the perfect drinks to suit our tastes while still pushing our comfort zones. His passion for his craft really shone through. I will be returning and hope to see Josh again!

đ¸ Creative Cocktails: The cocktails at Amandine Lounge are truly a highlight. They offer a creative and adventurous selection, making it worthwhile to explore different options beyond your usual order. Each drink seemed thoughtfully crafted.
đ¤ Fantastic Service: The service here was phenomenal. Our server was incredibly attentive and proactive. At one point, my drink tasted a little flat, and without me even mentioning it, they noticed and removed it from our bill. This level of attentiveness and genuine care for the customer experience is rare and much appreciated.
𤍠Ambiance & Seating: Despite the lounge being quite crowded, we were able to find seating in the back room, which had a really nice atmosphere. It felt intimate and romantic, perfect for a relaxed evening out. While it was slightly loud, it was a good kind of lively noise that contributed to the overall buzz.
⨠Overall Experience: Amandine Lounge delivered a fantastic experience. The combination of innovative cocktails, outstanding service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a highly recommended spot for drinks, whether for a romantic evening or a lively gathering. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of their cocktail menu.

I've been to Amandines many times since they opened, hoping it would become our go to spot. But after repeated disappointing experiences, I've decided I'm done. I probably won't be going back unless something changes.
To be fair, there are some great things about the place. It's the only true cocktail lounge in Los altos, has a great vibe, stylish decor, a cozy lounge feel, and a nice outdoor patio for warm evenings. They have a big menu of creative cocktails, and they're always presented beautifully.
Unfortunately, the drinks themselves have never quite hit the mark for me. Iâve tried several over multiple visits, and none have been memorable in a good way. That might still be okay if the service made up for it. But it absolutely doesnât.
The service is consistently poor: usually slow, often inattentive, and sometimes rude. And it isn't because they are crowded or understaffed. There are usually 2â3 people working. Itâs more that the management doesnât seem to value, or just can't deliver on good service or hospitality. Just look at the other reviewsâbad service is a common theme.
On a recent visit, I came with girlfriends just after opening. We were one of only two tables, and the server taking our order couldnât have seemed less interested. He kept looking out the window, not making eye contact and gave no real help when I asked about two drinks - just a flat âTheyâre both good.â My friend finished her drink and not one of the three employees at the bar, checked in with us over the rest of our time, to see if she wanted another.
Another time, I came with a group of four to grab a drink before a dinner reservation. The bar was less than half full, yet we had to wait to be seated for no clear reason. Once seated, we waited 20 minutes and no one came by. We ended up leaving without ordering. If that were a one-off, fine. But itâs been a consistent pattern.
Amandines has a great concept and could be a gem in downtown Los Altos. But until they start caring about the customer experience and put some real effort into service, it's just not worth it.

Wednesday work evening with office coworkers. It wasn't busy but lousy service. Almost as if the bartender wanted to ignore us. We sat at the counter and the two servers kept helping another group.
Not friendly place at all. $18-20 cocktails. Definitely not going back again.

We had an odd experience here. The main bar was full so after waiting outside for half an hour we were seated in their âmusic roomâ - a plain black room that more resembled a strip club than a decent bar.
Hey, no problem if the main bar is full, just get me a good drink. But instead, we were treated to the 110 dB screeching of cheesy 2010s radio music. We couldnât even engage in conversation. The waiter never came to take our order. We left promptly.
Iâd give this place another shot for drinks in their main room. But, if itâs a Saturday night steer clear of the music dungeon.

The drinks and ambience were fine. The service was lacking. The reason for the low rating is because of the auto tip. I gladly tip for good service. But this auto tip is not mentioned anywhere and adding a tip line on the receipt in addition to the 20% auto tip is just double dipping and left a terrible taste to the entire experience.

This bar wasn't happy about our group of 10-15 people. Even though they have a back room which can accommodate a large party, they never offered it to us, but rather made us sit outside with broken heaters. Donât see myself visiting this place again in the future.
Didnât have any food so canât speak to that. A nice and mellow cocktail bar where you can have a conversation and hear what is being said. Good drinks, friendly service. A nice respite from hectic, overcrowded PA.

Great place for craft, unique cocktails.

So I brought a friend to have a cocktail and enjoy the ambience that Amandine has to offer. Unfortunately I am very disappointed about how a particular bartender or waiter called âBetoâ conducted himself. I guess as I stepped to the bathroom this desperate gentleman decided to give my date his phone number. Well I hope this backfires on him - sheâs not interested. She told me the entire story and even showed me your note. Please remove this guy from your business as this can be considered harassment.
