“An absolute favorite that I am sure to visit on every trip to the Bay. Very unique fusions of Indian and Californian flavors with something for every palate. My favorites are the sesame leaf, burrata kulcha, house salad and dry boat scallops. Also don’t sleep on the cocktails. Very nicely crafted.“
“Absolutely amazing experience. From the time we checked in for our reservation, service was very kind and thoughtful and everyone wanted to make sure we had the best time. Stunning dining spaces. Every corner beautifully designed making for an elevated experience. Depending on which spot you pick, you can be sure it will be a distinct experience. Food was stellar and our waiter was absolutely lovely, checking in on us and giving us excellent recommendations. It's been a while since a place swept me off my feet like Sekoya did! Can't wait to come back!“
“My skepticism about vegan food and that it may have only limited choices was shattered at this place. Menu is pretty elaborate and can very well satiate quite a few people with different tastes. Drink options are nice too. Definitely recommending this place, and going back some time soon.“
“We had the most delicious meal last night at Protégé. Each course of the tasting menu was perfection. At the end we couldn't choose a favorite because they were all equally incredible. Our server, Fleur, was so knowledgeable about the food and the wine and gave us wonderful recommendations for the perfect wines to compliment the various courses. The whole experience was wonderful and I can't wait to go back sometime.Dietary restrictions: They made sure they were aware of all of my dietary restrictions and ensured the food I was served was safe for me to eat by making small adjustments when needed.“
“Enjoyed a nice brunch on Sat morning around 11 am, was not too crowded and got seated right away without reservations. We had 2 dogs with us and their outdoor seating was pretty nice. I got the Tacos Verdes which were very tasty and the agua fresca watermelon. Service was very attentive and food quality was fresh .I would recommend it“
“We love coming to this place! A nice ambiance, amazing craft cocktails, and outstandingly fresh seafood. They run happy hour almost daily, and our fav day is Tue because they offer half off on their 4 oyster offerings. Highly recommend this “
“Having visited Chef Chu in Los Altos on multiple occasions, I've found the dining experience to be generally pleasant, albeit with room for improvement. The restaurant boasts some delectable dishes and a welcoming atmosphere, but there are notable areas that could be enhanced.Firstly, cleanliness standards need attention, particularly regarding glassware and cutlery. On several visits, I've observed dirty glasses and teacups, suggesting subpar cleaning practices. It's perplexing for a renowned establishment to overlook such basic hygiene, leaving patrons questioning the maintenance standards.Another aspect warranting consideration is the imposition of a limited dining time. Despite patrons wishing to linger and enjoy conversation after finishing their meals, there appears to be a rush to clear tables, even if dishes still contain food. This policy detracts from the relaxed dining experience expected at a high-profile restaurant like Chef Chu.On a positive note, interactions with some waitstaff have been delightful, reflecting the friendly ambiance cultivated by Chef Chu himself. However, consistent efforts are required to ensure all aspects of service align with the restaurant's esteemed reputation.Regarding the cuisine, while some dishes excel, others may fall short of expectations. It seems that char siu might not be the restaurant's forte, highlighting areas where culinary refinement could elevate the overall dining experience.“
“Had veal piccata with creamy polenta (not on the menu - I asked and they made it for me!) and the Pesto fettuccine. Didn’t have reservations on a Wednesday night but got seated right away. Food was AMAZING! Drinks and wine menu were solid without being too expensive. Hidden Hayward gem.“
“Near a curve on a four line road is an eclectic older Mexican restaurant with artistic merit, interesting landscaping outdoor dining and several different kinds of tables and chairs indoors, including a bar.The menu has several options many of which I had not seen in Mexican food places before. I have tried their tamales, chili relleno, black beans, pinto beans, rice, grilled chicken, quesadilla, pico, guacamole, and the provided chips and salsa. All of the flavors are excellent. The green sauce and masa of the tamale, and the firm aged relleno cheese filling were outstanding.Indoors is Mexican music, while outdoors there is traffic noise. The tortilla chips are the thin triangle bagged kind. The restroom has an old sink and fixtures. But the custom artwork, high ceilings with paper fiesta decor and painted furniture are classic south of the border. The seats are all flat wood, no cushions. No sauce bar or extra hot sauce present. Will need another visit to try the mole.Vegetarian options: Enchiladas are great.“
“Great pizza and love the green sauce that goes on top. Really makes this place stand out. Wish they had this flavor of pizza (potato, corn, onion) every day instead of a specialty. The waffle fries were also delicious! Service was fast - but it was a bit pricey for pizza, I am guessing because its a nicer place rather than a dominoes. Located in the new "downtown" fremont. Ambiance was good! We were the only ones in there - but i think it would be a nice place for a happy hour (if fremont nightlife ever picks up LOL)“
“Had lunch here with a friend. He ordered fish and chips and I had the tomato soup with brioche croutons..delicious. And the chicken salad..which was fairly generous serving and included baby tomatoes, and bacon and brie cheese. Parking is easy and service was good and it was relatively quiet and easy to have a good conversation“
“Everything about this place is awesome. From the manager to the hostess , everyone is greeting you with a smile. There's no member of their staff that don't seem to not want to be there. Everything there is a positive vibe. Cheers.“
“Carlos is an amazing guy. They have 10 beers on taps: with favorites like 805, Sierra Nevada, and even Guinness. And many more in bottles. If you like it they also have Fernet! The back yard is open, mostly covered, and great. It's also close to the hotels for those who are traveling and want a great dive bar to visit after work or fun. TouchTunes, darts, and a pool table. For what seems to be a hole in the wall, there is a great amount of space inside and outside. Go, have a fun night, and tip your bar tender!“
“Lovely experience with the Alice in Wonderland Tea! We had the Earl Grey Oolong tea, which was mildly disappointing (very little flavor), but the pastries more than made up for it! Three tea sandwiches, a perfectly baked blueberry scone, and three tiers of cakes and sweets. The best part was the setting, though. The place is covered flowers and beautifully decorated.“
“Great food! Best thing about this place, is that the food taste great every time we visit. The food is Piping HOT when it is brought to your table and service is fast, reliable and efficient. Definitely one of our monthly spots for sure!“
“First time a Broma. The overall experience was good, great service, the food was very good but! I was disappointing about how spicy the dishes were (4 of us) . I felt I was at Mexican restaurant (don't get me wrong, I love Mexican food) No one in the group was not expecting to eat spicy dishes, we are all from Spain :-)“
“You walk into this cozy pub and meet a smart and friendly golden retriever and a happy dancin’ baby! You’d have to be dead not to fall in love. The Noodles were on the Sunday stage, Dan doing a soulful interp of Dock of the Bay and they did a passable Hey Joe without a guitarist. Color me glad. Our artichoke ricotta salad and chips was crazy delicious and my pint of Das Brau amber was just what I wanted. Bosco’s could be the center of the entire universe.“
“We really enjoy this place. Nice ambiance, good service, imaginative and visually appealing cocktails, and at 4:45 pm on Friday the service was quick but not rushed. Not an inexpensive dinner but worth it. Oysters and Spanish meatballs for tapas ( yum) and veggie paella. So good!“
“Came here with my girls for happy hour one day and I was actually quite surprised by the quality despite it being on the HH menu! We pretty much ordered everything from the HH selection. We started off with some cocktails which were super refreshing. We got 2 orders of pan con tomate, papas bravas, croquetas de jamon, pintxos morunos, and hamburgers which fed 10 people. If you're coming here for good vibes with a group of people, I would definitely recommend coming during happy hour when it's a little more affordable!“
“We had a really nice evening dining and walking around afterwards inside the hotel areas. The fact that the restaurant name has “poolside” in it got our attention and we were looking for American cuisine on Google. Once we approached the restaurant it really lightened up our eyes, the environment is nearly perfect. If you want to sit indoors you have warm places with fair lighting, if you want to sit near the pool you can as well.The foods are just delicious and of fair price. Truffle fries are the best! I would recommend this restaurant and maybe this hotel (without being a hotel guest) to anyone who visits Palo Alto or just want to dine in the area.Thai style and the ambience are a plus!“
“I visited Off the Record and thought it was a good restaurant. It had a nice atmosphere, and the service was good. But most importantly, the food was delicious. I would definitely go back. They even gave us free rice when we ordered an item for takeout.“
“Another one of my childhood favorites. I remember summers where I would come down to El Portal with some friends and order what I could with my allowance money. I'm glad to see that the restaurant has not changed and the food is still delicious like always. I ordered the chicken fajitas and it came with three corn tortillas, guacamole, sour cream, rice, beans, and some lettuce. It was smokey and seasoned really well, my only gripe is that it was really salty. The horchata I ordered really helped with that. The horchata was creamy and sweet. The birria tacos were delicious, the meat was tender and really juicy. I loved the consume that came with it. It is lacking in the spice department, I wish it had more oomf to it.“
“One of many Korean restaurants in the Bay Area we had to try on our list. This one had a good list of choices and their dishes were pretty big except the chicken wings which always seem to always take the longest to cook.The garlic wings were good but some pieces so tiny that they should not count towards the fifteen pieces. The seafood pancake was good flavor and good size. I really liked the kimchi fried rice, spicy pork and Premium LA Kalbi. The Steamed Egg had no flavor and it had too much soup in it which I thought was weird. We ordered sodas and their Lychee Cocktail for twenty bucks which was a carafe pitcher size. It was pretty good and strong; nothing fancy. We also ordered Bibimap which was pretty big.Choice this Korean restaurant for mom's bday and was satisfied. The prices were on the expensive side. Not a place for a date as it's loud here but good for groups and drinking. Service is ok. They forgot one of our items but at least, they didn't charge us; we did have a big group though. Haha they even told us politely that we had to go as they had awaiting customers. The place is small, and can get crowded fast so I recommend to come early but lots of parking available.“
“Nice atmosphere. Benita, the bar-tender, was great -- approachable, friendly, and willing to take requests for TVs, music, drinks, etc. Lots of regular customers frequent the place, but there are plenty of places to sit. I'll be back when I'm in the area!“
“Great fun Dive bar to check out if you're in the area!! Bar staff is very friendly and beautiful and watching a game or pool is the best at this Bar.. karaoke on Friday are the best in Oakland California you should check this bar out if your near by....“
“Decent place for a drink and they're one of the only bars open late in the area. I'd give 3* but I had a wonderful experience my visit a few months ago so adding 1 star for that!Came back again this weekend and their cocktail menu seemed to have changed, which i didn't mind but they also were out of most things. A lot of items we tried to order off the menu initially were out. While it was pretty late into the evening, it was also a Saturday night so I thought was strange that they would be out of a lot of things. We ended up having 1 drink each and then went to Lazy Dog instead to continue the night.I hope they get better with their inventory in the future!“
