“Wonderful experience at Ray’s Grill. Everything was great, we had such a great time.We went there on a Sunday for lunch and the place was empty. Service was good as well and super quick.We got a poke bowl, fries, wings, sandwich and a butter squash salad.The nachos were awesome loaded with cheese and guacamole. Better than in some Mexican restaurant.“

“Great Place, decor, service and views are very cool. The oysters were wonderful, everything we saw looked great“

“Molly O's is a great spot for every meal, drinks, watching sports, live music and DJs. My favorite dishes are the Shepherd's Pie, Steak & Eggs, Fish & Chips and the NY Steak, and they regularly have various specials. The salads are also great! I have yet to have a meal that disappointed.
Fridays & Saturday nights get lit with the DJs, bands, and great crowds. 10/10 recommend!“

“We offer a wonderful adventurous array of delicious Classic Pizzas but I dare you to try our Indian Fusion pizzas they are killer and once you've tasted them I bet it will become a monthly, if not weekly, dine in, take out or delivery! And if that's not your fancy come in to our HIP NEW BAR and try one of our signature cocktails! 🤫 I'd recommend the old Redwood Fashioned Featuring "Redwood Empire Whiskey" its something that will keep you foming back! If Whiskey isn't your thing that's perfectly fine try our Mango Chutney Martini or the Hibiscus Highball! We have large TVs that show MOST live games, have drink specials on NFL Sundays, Free POOL PLAY and so much more. I hope this Temps ypu to come on in and pay us a visit! #stayblessed #staygrateful“

“The bartender Michelle she’s good and hard worker“

“Awesome place, love the dollar bills above the bar! So fun!“

“I once knew a girl, we worked at South West YMCA camp, jeepers was it 1984? Fast forward to 2002 I randomly saw her in this bar and time hasn’t passed. We said our goodnight, but this a meet zone that has legs…it’s an older established neighborhood bar, a meeting zone. You should check it out. From my experience, there are a few ground rules, ready?Be good or be gone…No matter the size of your entourage, you don’t own this place, we are all transitioning throughout, so calm down.The deputy mayor of the town is at the end of the bar. The local doctor is at the bar, the local plumber that will fix all of your issues is at the bar, so tread lightly before you blow this place up with your outside view.Back to my original point of view, you don’t own this place with your ca$h, they own the history and you borrow it for a few hours. Be good or be gone.“

“It's a good old fashioned pub. Nothing fancy, just a nice comfortable place to have a drink and make a friend. There is a large outside area where you can smoke and have a drink, which is hard to find. It's my go to place after a hard days work. The service is the best !!“

“Excellent bar, close to the train. Good prices on drinks and salty bar nuts to keep you thirsty. It was nice and quiet when my group went and the barman told me they do free reserved parties so that's gonna be my next adults-only venue“

“Suzanna and Ashley are the best bartenders there oh and def can’t forget about Tiffany“

“I had a very positive experience with the company from beginning to end. The entire staff was pleasant and helpful. Very delighted with roller garage door; it looks great and does the job well; neighbours have commented on how wonderful it looks. Thanks.“

“sports atmosphere....patrons are awesome, jukebox I love and the bartenders are awesome...“

“Karaoke with Ben on Thursday nights is always a blast. Good parking in front and rear, good bartenders, drinks, 2 pool tables, dart board, clean bathrooms, and a relaxed low-key dive bar feel. If you're looking for a local hideaway, then The Harbor is your refuge.

“We were weary travelers stopping by Scotty's in hope of a more chill vibe with some good food, and Scottys delivered! Our bartender, Sergio, was so friendly and fun! We got some inside knowledge about the town as we are from Oregon. The drinks were perfect and the food was top notch! I would have expected to pay a lot more for the quality of food and service we received at literally any of the surrounding places. We will visit Palo Alto again if only to go back to Scotty's as a new tradition! Thank you, Sergio, for making our anniversary dinner a great one! Someone give him a raise!“

“I remember the Pioneer Saloon from when I lived in the Bay Area and worked in Silicon Valley. I came there with friends over a few decades and enjoyed the live music. And, way back in 1975, my brother, Tom Martin, was a first live music performer at the Pioneer Saloon. Tom is still a singer songwriter performer.“

“Fred’s is the best Monday trivia and Thursday Karaoke“

“Have been here a few times, and it's a cool spot.

The staff and patrons have always been polite with me. However, I crossed the line. Last night, I was a coward and blew a chance with a girl elsewhere, and chose to get wasted, harass a woman and try to grab her. I'm lucky I didn't get my butt kicked. I had it coming.

To everyone that had to deal with me, I'm sorry. I was way out of line. Take care.“

“Went here twice for a film screening and Dust Breaks' EP release party—both different and great events! Good vibes, warm & inviting while having great staging for different kinds of events to play with. As an artist myself, I'd like to play a show here in the future for its vibes, drinks, easy access to food along the area, and friendly service! Shoutout to Allan for the friendliness and tech help!“

“What a blast. I went down to Beefy's last night with my wife and a friend of ours for a dart tournament. There were at least 40 people chucking darts. Everyone was very welcoming as the dart community usually is. TBH, I got a little clostrophobic as there was nowhere to move after each throw. It was packed. Too many tables and chairs in the way The tournament was played on 5 boards simultaneously, and they have a practice board inside and outside. The boards were all lit very well with LED surrounds, and we used the provided tablets with DartsConnect app for scoring. Some people brought snacks to share. Priced seemed a little high ($8 Modelo draft) on drinks, but what bar isn't nowadays. There is plenty of parking in front and back. League Darts on Thursdays and tournaments on Saturdays. Overall, I had a very nice experience there and will definitely be returning.“

“good chill place to hangout and have drinks and shoot pool with the locals. everyone there is chill“

“I had a great cheese burger, salad and beer. Thank you folks, I was well taken care of.“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“Karaoke nights Sunday and Mondays“

“Had a wonderful, fresh breakfast and a nice dinner at the restaurant in The Westin in Palo Alto. The breakfast I chose was the bar which included eggs, bacon, potatoes, and French toast. Cereal, coffee, OJ, and toast was available as well a 8 varieties of fruit.For dinner, I started with the cheese plate and finished with the Soleil Burger with Gilroy fries. Long Islands were outstanding. The cheese plate was excellent and served with toast. The burger was cooked to perfection with bacon and cheddar.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“Always great atmosphere electric.“

“This is like going to the Ponderosa or Disneyland! The room was amazing and large very comfortable and for as fancy as this is , They are dog friendly at no extra charge. I even had a balcony that I could walk out on to and sit down at my own patio furniture, wow. They serve all there own 5 star quality meat from there own ranch, or if you have a camper or otherwise you can stay in there lot they have 24 hr security I was truly shocked how amazing this property really is, they don't offer complementary breakfast they have a restaurant on property also gas and plenty of electric car charging available.“

“Awesome rooftop bar with stunning views and great cocktails!“

“Friendly service and definitely a way more time effective option than eating off-site when visiting Ames. Guests that have visited Ames have always enjoyed the food and the friendly service from the cooks. Plenty of options for ordering and payments and a good selection for a quick lunch“

““I had an amazing experience the other day. You’ve got to try the Octopus Carpaccio if you're into seafood—it’s incredibly tender and packed with flavor. And don’t skip the Bread & “Butter”; it’s a game-changer with its whipped bone marrow spread over warm, crusty sourdough. Absolutely delicious!I also tried the Cup of Gold cocktail while I was there. It’s a fantastic mix of bourbon infused with golden raisins, Madeira, honey, and just a hint of celery bitters, creating a unique, smooth flavor that’s both sweet and subtly earthy.Sitting on their rooftop, enjoying these incredible dishes and drinks, really made my day. The vibe up there is just so cool and laid-back—it's the perfect place to unwind and soak in the views over Palo Alto. Whether you’re looking for great food, tasty drinks, or just a chill spot to hang out, President’s Terrace is definitely worth a visit.”“

“For 3 yrs always stay at Aloft it’s like my second home , the ambiance is very nice, front desk clerk are polite and friendly , the bar , waiting area , restaurant and the swimming pool are very nice , the rooms are big, and parking area“

“Everything was great. Waiters were friendly. Overall 5/5!“

“They have 3 pinball machines, 2 pool tables, 2 electronic dart boards, a jukebox, an ATM machine, and all sorts of memorabilia on the walls and ceiling available for their patrons to enjoy!! The atmosphere can go anywhere from calm and mellow during midday, to exciting, jovial, entertaining, and filled with dancing and laughter in the late evenings. As far as the patrons, they has a great, blended environment; so no one will feel out of place if you decide to go. So... if you want to go to a place where you'll feel welcomed and have a great time, then Paul & Harvey's on Murphy Ave. is the place for you!!??? *Photo's to come...!“

“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“

“Great way to spend some time.! Friendly people every where. It is realky great when you win too! Lol“

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.“

“Good food and drinks but Very pricey. Great staff. The food is pretty good. There is a young girl that works in the kitchen that's just Very rude and off-putting for no reason. No matter how nice you are it's like she has something against you. But all in all a great place.“

“First time there with friends. Would recommend. They have a killer banana split on the menu for desert, can't beat that. Food fresh! Owner was so kind and the woman that served our table was very nice and accommodating! I'll be back!“

“Great restaurant“

“Great selection of beers!“

“I loved Lorena's service, she is super professional and detailed with her hands and products. She relaxes you and makes you conscious. She makes you feel like you are in the clouds. Of course I highly recommend her. You will not regret it. You will return and above all, the results are instantaneous. thank you ? My Lore“

“After 20+ years of coming here…it’s STILL incredible! The Mojito! The Masitas, the snapper, and soooooo much more!“

“Hosted an event in the Rustic Room adjacent to the main restaurant. Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages, with passed appetizers and flatbreads. Guests remarked on the good quality of the drinks and food, and the service was friendly, professional, and excellent. Particular kudos to the lead event contact, Barbara, who was patient and thoughtful about organizing everything for a great evening. Would strongly recommend for your event, unless I want to book a repeat event, in which case I have dibs.“

“Cute, delicious, and A MUST TRY. Joy Sushi a cute Japanese joint nestled in Mountain View was an amazing spot to eat.

The service from Joy Sushi was exceptional with the servers bringing a familial vibe in the restaurant. One of the servers even helped me learn how to use my chopsticks. Overall great service. The ambiance was great as well, though there wasn’t LOADS of seating. The interior was very nice with lots of decorations and on the inside you could see a lot of the action happening which was cool.

The food itself was GREAT. I got the Unagi Donburi which was an eel dish. The dish came with a bomb unagi sauce that tasted a little like a zesty thicker teriyaki which complemented the fattiness of the eel amazingly. The dish was the perfect portion for me to finish in the restaraunt and be full. The dish also interestingly came with some orange savory fish roe that popped. The eel was SO tasty. It was a little fatty and very tender with no overfishy taste emanating. It was overall an amazing dish that came with lots of rice. The dessert was a little less appetizing. We got strawberry and mango mochi which was ok. It tasted like one of the Trader Joe’s mochi, but the presentation was beautiful and the price wasn’t exorbitant.

Overall Joy Sushi is a must try it provides plenty of good sushi and other entrees like my unagi donburi if sushi isn’t your thing. If you are ever in Mountain View make sure to come to Joy Sushi to enjoy the delicious food, familial service, great interior, and affordable dishes.

Vegetarian options: There are a decent amount of veggie sushi options listed separately on the menu!“

“Great tables. Great staff. When I started playing at 946, I thought it was a little crowded, but actually, it’s not. It’s just that I was always there during really crowded times. The space is great. There are high top bar tables in between the pool tables that allow you to keep a drink and your stuff nearby, but they are far enough away from the play action that they don’t compromise the space. The food at 946 is fabulous. Pizzas are GREAT! They have a great selection of beer and wine. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the place is always clean and inviting. If I had to note something negative, it would be that the music is sometimes too lounge-ish for my taste. I prefer higher energy music to sleepy music and this is a venue that doesn’t offer a “juke box” (meaning there’s no app and customers can’t pay to play music). That’s seriously the only thing that could be better. Everything else is REALLY GOOD!“

“Delicious and Creative dishes including the poke bowls we enjoyed for lunch. The spicy marinade on the chicken was excellent. Lunch crowd is steady for them and service was good considering there was just one waitress/server who was hustling to take care of everyone. Definitely will be back.“

“great 👍 love grandma's special been going there for years!“

“Very good drinks fun atmosphere“
