“I’ve been here twice and the second time was amazing! Michelle was fantastic and so much fun to talk to! I was sitting by myself at the counter and we engaged in great conversation. She didn’t pressure to buy additional drinks or take more home. She also let me take my time there. Thanks for a great experience, Michelle!!“

“Amazing location but local individuals are ignorant.Me and my husband had some wine which was amazing ….2 hour later , two Indians came in , ordered and sat next to us . After a few minutes, they started voicing , complaining that we were speaking on the phone (not directly but went to complain to the employee working )Very sad that because we were speaking on the phone “ we were non educated “.Location is very nice but these some local individuals are disgusting.Individual employee serving the wine and attending to the location was amazing :) would come back just because of his service“

“Ambiance, Ambiance! #outdoorseating#creekside🍷👏🥂🍾🍹🍸🍸“

“My family got to visit here for the first time as a winery. There was no place like this after leaving South Korea. There were most cafes with coffee in South Korea but here the US is different with this winery having a beautiful spot and tasting good wine, cheese, and bread for our light lunch.“

“Exceptional service. At the start of our meal Michael asked everyone seated if we had any food allergies and then crafted all of our dishes around that. Every dish was presented with dedicated beauty and integrity to the food. Delicious food happens here 💖💖“

“What a fun little hidden gem. Came here in a Saturday not long after they had opened. The vibe of the wine bar is definitely unmatched. Unknown to me, they had a happy hour special running. There were tons of great little bite options my party and I enjoyed. Definitely will be back again.“

“We tried to visit Goodtime Bar once before, but seating is very very limited, so decided to try again another time when we could get a seat (it's a small space, both inside and outside, and even the standing room is limited - but standing room isn't what I'm looking for in a wine bar).
Last night we made it at a time when we were able to grab the only 2 seats available. The ambiance is great - the setup is very modern, and the music is enjoyable. I was rather disappointed by their Wines by the Glass selection - rather, their lack thereof. Their menu has a single listing for "wines by the glass" with each color listed beneath (bubbles, white, orange, red) and a note to ask what they're pouring tonight. I like this in concept - it suggests a rotating menu. however, the options were limited - for a red, they only had a red blend (no other options for a single glass). I will caveat that with this: the red blend was delightful and I would absolutely get it again (if I knew what it is)! but when I go out to a wine bar, I'm interested in either a flight of different wines, or 2 glasses of 2 different wines (of the same color). so while our intention was to stay for 2 glasses each, we just had the single glass and left.
they do seem to have plenty of Wines by the Bottle options - again, a single listing on the menu pointing you to all the bottles on the wall with their prices written on them in sharpie. so if you're with a bigger group, or planning to stay for the whole evening, I can see Goodtime being a good time for you!

our service was great too! they are super friendly. a table inside with kids accidentally broke a wine glass, and I watched two of the workers immediately rush over to clean it up. I was very impressed with the response and the response time.“

“I’ve eaten here twice with a wide sampling of dishes and Devine is absolutely mind blowing. Their mixtures of flavors is truly a beautiful form of art……and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about any restaurant! Goat cheese and caramel? It’s now a go to for our own charcuterie board at home……Herb infused brittle and cheese? I need to have more! It is truly perfection! Last night we enjoyed their four course meal (i highly suggest two people get their own and split, there’s two choices for the salad/soup, main, and dessert, you don’t want to miss out on anything!). Every bite we took had us stop in awe. Devine is a gem! We even loved that the employees/owners come with laughs and personality. It’s a fun and light environment that added so much more to our experience. As the place got busy, our waiters didn’t waver in his attention for anyone! We appreciated that since we’re aware that everyone is still getting up to speed post pandemic, but Devine didn’t miss a beat! 🙌Cannot wait to come back! (Picture was after we had dug in🤣)“

“Always excellent service and a great experience“

“I have had nothing but spectacular experiences at Rootstock, and especially the MV location! The staff is so knowledgeable and is so kind within their expertise. I have so many questions and so little knowledge but they always make me feel welcome with all my questions. The drinks are, of course, spectacular! I impress people at parties now with all I’ve learned through Rootstock. And the food is so tasty, I love the Empanadas especially! They have such a beautiful space and I’ve now been here at least twice when the dim the lights from day to evening and it’s always such a beautiful and subtle but welcome change. I have no restauranteer skills but the expertise at Rootstock is so inviting and inspiring to me, I dream of opening up a Rootstock location in Canada where I go to school!

This is one of the greatest wine bars in the bay: yes for their wine selection! But also? Truly foe their staff, the ambience at their wine bar, the member program, and all that I learn from their experts behind the bar *AND* all the food I enjoy and fun I have. I love this place and I’m too scared to have tattoos for real but I’d tat I love roortsfoxk on my body, that’s how enamored I am! And this is a review after 2+ years of being a patron here! I should’ve shared my love earlier but ADHD 😅

but now that I’m a few months into my wine club membership, I just really had to make clear my enjoyment of Rootstock. The ambience reminds me of Edward Espe Brown’s writings: the table is a place of giving and receiving sustenance. Here we are served and serve others. That’s what I feel at Rootstock and it is such a pleasure and privilege! They make me want to learn about flavor notes so I can truly wax poetic about their menu, ambience, and so much more.

The TL;DR is if you are of drinking age, and in Mountain View: you HAVE to go to Rootstock. you will be doing yourself a disservice if you miss them! my favorite restaurant, from the chefs to staff to sommeliers! Endless things to love and celebrate.

Vegetarian options: There are a number of veg options! 3/4 flatbreads have meat BUT they are so flexible with substitutions. I often ask for meat removed (when alone) or on the side when I’m with friends and they are always so kind and on top of this.“

“Fantastic local wine bar run by people who truly appreciate their craft. They will walk you through the menu to find what works best for you and find your new favorite libation. Antonio was our guide through California and Spanish wines and was fantastic. They are starting wine pairing dinners soon and I can't wait to come back. If you love wine, good people, and good vibes then you can't go wrong here.“

“Love the bar and good eats!“

“Tessoras is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm, inviting ambiance and the effortlessly chic yet cozy vibes. The wine selection is top-tier, offering a thoughtfully curated variety that caters to every palate. Whether you're a casual wine drinker or a seasoned connoisseur, you'll find something to love here. A huge shoutout to Monica, who made the experience truly unforgettable. Her bubbly, happy personality was infectious, and her knowledge of wine was beyond impressive. She somehow knew exactly what I wanted—before I even knew it myself! Every recommendation was spot on, making the night even more special. If you're looking for the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy exceptional wine, and soak in an amazing atmosphere, Marta's is the place to be. Can't wait to come back! 🍷✨“

“Good selection of craft beers, wine, and small plates. Food was tasty and service was great! Highly recommended!“

“Such a good and relaxing atmosphere! Everyone is nice!“

“A great experience! Cheese board was delicious. Soft pretzel with beer cheese is outstanding. Sat outside and enjoyed the cool California air. It was a super relaxed atmosphere and had a good vibe. We were visiting San Jose for a few days and picked this place on a whim for some downtime. It was pretty cool place to have a beer and chill.“

“We’ve been to this places twice for wine tasting in the past but the bistro didn’t open at that time. So we went on Sunday for special Mother’s Day brunch and give it a try. My sister is their member so we can order five different entries from their set menu. We had Shakshuka , Benedict eggs, avocado and salmon with bread , duck fried rice and special charcuterie.
The taste of all dishes are amazing. The duck meat is very well seasoned so it is not gamey at all .Shakshuka tastes like the one we had in Jerusalem.
Nice and friendly service. We can’t wait to come back again for their regular meal.“

“Update:
Went for Dinner again tonight. Once again great service, great ambience ( live piano in the background). Wonderful food, even gave us a sample of their house blended tea to take home.
.....perfect evening. Thank you!“

“I love this place , romantic“

“A very idyllic place for a fine wine tasting. The location is right in the middle of the action. The selection of wines is very large. We took two wine combinations and a pesto burrata plate. The wines and the platter were very tasty. Although the plate was small and the bread looked a bit strange, we were very satisfied. What led to a star deduction was the service lady. At the reception you will be served in a very friendly manner by the gentleman. Unfortunately, the lady with the done eyebrows and sprayed lips was very unmotivated. She didn't say a word when she took the order. It's really a shame to employ such a lady. Unfortunately, this brings down the rating significantly.“

“Absolutely fantastic food, truly very inspired, elevated eastern European dishes. Both dranik we had were delicious, wife's smoked salmon was her highlight of the night, my short rib was only overshadowed by the flat iron steak. King salmon with miso hollandaise was a beautiful and tasty dish.

My only feedback? A cocktail menu would make this place a cannot miss spot. Bring the apperitif offerings into a couple of boozy, bitter cocktails with a couple lighter, sweeter options. You have a beautiful bar, populate it with equally beautiful bottles and cocktails and it's an easy 10/10

Kid-friendliness: No, don't bring your children to a fine dining place.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible“

“Lovely service, yummy French offerings. Comfortable patio out back.“

“The new Indian pizza slices offer a flavorful fusion of tandoori chicken and paneer perfectly complemented by a selection of brewing beer. The prices of beer are so affordable they sell it for 7.29 cheaper comparing to all stores in murphy street“

“outdoor dining in a beautiful setting and varied menu items“

“We had excellent service for our large party of 10. Our server, Westin, was wonderful. We were there to celebrate my daughter’s big 30! We all had a wonderful time, food was exceptional and so was the service.“

“I'm a big foodie when I saw the place on line I was dying of hunger. I didn't even want to see the menu I got all recommendations from the young server and Miha. The food is delicios flavourful. The salad was crisp and fresh delicious savory wines!!“

“What a bright and beautifully classy entrance and open bar seating. My server was Matt and his assistant was John. They were very attentive, providing excellent and professional service. I ordered the fillet-medium. I was surprised that it was very dry when chewing it but definitely cooked perfectly. No juice was dripping from the steak. The lobster tail ended up getting cold and no butter was served with it. The scallops..the highlight of plate cooked perfect and flavorful. The Mac-n-Cheese was amazing! Ohhh and the brownie was great too ! I will return in hopes that the steak quality has improved.“

“Outstanding Indian Cuisine - Truly Authentic!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was incredibly authentic, and I was particularly impressed with the butter chicken and naan. Both dishes were absolutely amazing, bursting with rich flavors and perfectly cooked.

The service here is unparalleled. It felt like I was dining at home, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. They made sure my food was hot, served promptly, and checked on me multiple times throughout my meal. It was truly the best service I’ve ever experienced.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Indian dining experience. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service you receive.

One suggestion for fellow patrons: if you’re considering ordering the bread basket, be aware that it takes some time to prepare. As a result, some of the breads might not be as fresh as if you order them individually.

Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

Vegetarian options: Many indian vegetarian options like butter panner“

“Georgian (Southwesterly Asian) Cuisine ! Fav! Very glad to see that Bevri now has a larger restaurant! Great 👍🏾 food & service.“

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.“

“Had a team dinner here and they were able to accommodate a same day reservation for a group of 9 people. We weren’t able to get a table inside since they had another big party but the weather was so nice out that we all enjoyed eating outside on the patio. We ordered a few apps to share. My favorite was the calamari. Their focaccia bread was soft and delicious. I got the chicken parm which was pretty mediocre but coworker seemed to enjoy their pasta dishes.“

“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.“

“I dined at Alexander's when it was in a different location and remembered it being really good. This time it's not as great as I remembered. Service from Victor was amazing though. The steaks, they were cooked perfectly but underseasoned. We ordered a few appetizers and we didn't care for the short rib or the Jamon iberico with buratta. It was really fun when you get Cotton candy at the end. They're very accommodating especially if you're celebrating something.“

“Some of the best pizza we’ve had in California. And our server was friendly, engaging, and effective! Great experience we’ll be back!!“

“Love the Pinot that Jesse served us, paninis were delicious and so was the cheese and fruit tray, beautifully arranged. We always have a good time when we visit. Jesse and Anthony always provide great service and make the place very enjoyable.“

“authentic Calabrese food - molto bene!“

“Everything we had was tasty. The mussels dish was our favorite. Garlic noodle was also really good. The salmon mousse, we couldn’t really taste the salmon in it but it tasted fine. We also ordered catch of the day dish (not shown in picture), the fish was light and crispy but the kimchi fried rice it came with was lacking; it tasted more like lightly seasoned fried rice—couldn’t taste the kimchi. Overall, the presentation was great and taste was enjoyable.“

“Very nice ambiance and great service. All staffs look professional and prompt.“

“Food is good and soul music is the bomb!💪🏾“

“Awesome place and helpful friendly staff.“

“Best Sabich!!! Their Pita taste good!!! Staff are polite. Quick service!“
