Stayed at the Hilton and the staff were the bomb. Helpful, nice and overall professional. La Fontana is the restaurant bar there. We found the menu was very limited for being in such a nice Hilton. The drinks while good, were pretty pricey. Overall We loved our stay.
Its OK. The steak was good but the service was slow. Hardly anyone there too.
Lamb sirloin with PolentaLunch with my team.Menu states the meat was served cooked medium, when my plate arrived it was well done. Sent it back, got it back as medium.Cant recommend this dish. Polenta was very salty and too much butter was added, left a greasy feeling in my mouth. I barely touched the Polenta.The onion soup was ok.
We were in the area and we decided to eat here. Also, my coworkers recommended it too.I had the prime rib, it was so buttery soft and delicious! Also, we ordered the cioppino, fish and chips, and grilled sea bass. Everyone really enjoyed their dish. The staff was friendly and helpful. The service was quick, since were the only customers.Tip-If theres a 49er game and youre not staying @ the hotel, you wont be allowed to park here just to dine. Dont bother giving them a made up room number, theyll confirm the name matches the room number. Fortunately we reserved a room during a game.They will suggest to park elsewhere. Bring cash for parking, there is several parking areas but its expensive. Ive seen prices up to $40 for parking.
Very average hotel restaurant. Although food looked quite fancy it was just okay. The choice could be improved. There was only one vegetarian option for dinner. Furthermore, I wish they put more attention to detail - cutlery was worn out, my tea cup had marks, and every tea pot was different. It all makes you feel that youre eating in an average bar, not a 4-start hotel restaurant.
Tasty restaurant in the Hilton in Santa Clara. Nice atmosphere and feels lively. I had the steak salad and it was really good. The ahi tuna appetizer was really good as well. Server was good with one super annoying caviot. They were constantly trying to up sell and encourage us to order more. Started off trying to get us to order the fixed price lunch. Then, order drinks. Then trying to push appetizers on us. Guys!! Back of and let us have lunch. This is not a car dealership
Food was just okay and it’s pricey as would be expected for a hotel restaurant. The Caesar salad was $8 but tasted sour, and not in the good, citrus kind of way but in a “maybe something was bad” kind of way. I took one bite and sent it back but was still charged for it. I asked the manager to remove it which he did without question. Ordered the cioppino for my meal which was tasty. The pasta in the broth was a unique take, but added more substance to the dish. I will say it was a bit heavier on the sauce side then the broth side. The garlic toast was delicious! All in all, your average hotel restaurant.
Extremely disappointing.Food - MediocreService - abysmalAmbiance - poorPrice - extremely expensiveWe went to La Fontana for mothers day brunch. They charged us as soon as we checked in, then still had us wait 40 minutes past the time of our reservation to seat us. They had clearly taken more reservations than they could support. The price was over $200 for three meals, of which, many items had already run out - from the oysters, to pastries, to black tea. The food was displayed throughout the hotel lobby, so everything echoed so loudly that you could barely have a conversation. Everything we ate was mediocre at best - not at all what one would expect from such a high priced meal with a brand like Hilton.
Fantastic atmosphere and super attentive service. The food was fresh and enchanting. Will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends. Affordable rates and big meals. Keep up the great work.
Good food. As the restaurant was closed for a special event, we ate in the bar area which was nice enough. Note: The bar and restaurant share the menu. In addition to the bar seating, they have high tables, low tables, and the one regular height table. The restaurant ambiance did seem really nicethough and would have been preferred over the bar. ZzzI had grilled salmon on romaine. It was well cooked and flavorful. My dinner partners had calamari (with some shrimp), soup, and a shrimp pasta dish. All seemed very good and with good sized portions (the soup was practically meal sized).The service was good and wait staff very attentive (water refills and service checks). Timing of food delivery was plenty fast for a friendly dinner visit.
The ambiance was great but the food not so much. I ordered a salmon patty sandwich for lunch and found a crumbled up piece of plastic that I bit into. When I pulled the plastic out of my mouth and unraveled it, the plastic sheet was the size of my sandwich. One of the waiters asked if I was okay? I was fine but couldnt finish my sandwich. The waiter justified the plastic by telling me that each salmon patty has plastic dividers. This one was crumbled up and in the salmon patty. Obviously the salmon patty wasnt freshly made. What surprised me was that I received the ticket and was charged for the sandwich. I will never eat here again.
Very nice restaurant in the Santa Clara Hilton. I had the Roasted Salmon and Crab and Corn Chowder. The salmon dish was nicely prepared and the fish was perfectly cooked. The chowder had lots of crab and s great flavor and texture. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.
The food and service were ahead of our expectations. I really loved the ambience of this spot. Great restaurant to take the family out for dinner.
Overpriced, watered down drinks.the server was confused about everything we ordered. She kept saying we have to wait for the bartender.... Calamari was mediocre but NO COCKTAIL SAUCE??? REALLY. No TARTER SAUCE!! they just had a house sauce. Fish and chips is gross. French onion soup was garbage. From room service... So nasty. Save money and go down the street to many restaurants that have variety menu and better taste. So a pizza, hot dog from kids menu, 2 small cocktails and calamari equals 90$$$$ wow.
This place is a little pricey but the food was pretty good for breakfast. I know breakfast isnt tough to make but it was better than your average breakfast joint.
The bartender was great, Micheal. Waitress was slow an maybe sick. The shrimp pasta very disappointing. A chef cant be in that kitchen. Soup was awful, butternut squash . Will not be eating there again, tasteless. SMH. I will still stay at the Hilton. Just not eating. Get a real CHEF please. . Disappointed🤦🙁
“Atmosphere ”This place has great staff, Everyone treats you like you are definitely a guest of theirs. The food is amazing if you know how to build your recipe. I have been going here since they have opened, even though Ownership has exchange hands, the atmosphere is the same.
Superb steak house, excellent sides and great knowledgeable staff. Couple that with some good red wine and bingo a great steak night. Lovely interior and ambience worthy of a mention, great for a special occasion, or couples night out.
Delicious, healthy club sandwich and good chicken caesar. Also service was quick given the game taking place!
Outstanding staff, beautiful atmosphere and delicious food! Worth every penny.
Poor service and attitude. The food was just ok, but there was shrimp in the calamari which alarms one of us who had an allergy. The food came very late.
I really liked selection of food. Since I was here for most of the week I tried my best to try everything for dinner. For appetizers I really like the salad but wasnt too crazy about the tartar with avocado. I couldnt really figure out how to eat it properly. Main course meals I had the opportunity to eat the rib-eye which was very tasty. But what kept me going back for more was the Angus burger with a recommendation from Rosa to add blue cheese. I had it more than once and it was great meal for the end of the day. For dessert, I had a chance to devour their chocolate molten cake, apple pie ala mode, and their chocolate bundt cake. If you like it really sweet go with the molten cake, otherwise I enjoyed the bundt cake the most.
There was a hair in my wifes food. Watched the cook stick something in his mouth then lick his fingers. Served 2 of us our food, then the last person 10 minutes later. Drinks were empty and not refilled. Waitress was more interested in standing around talking that serving us.
In and Out has a very simple menu with few deviations, and the few items they serve are very good. More fast food places should stick to this formula instead of introducing The Chez Pierre burger or The Poncho Villa Special. In and Out sticks with what works.
The most delicious food of santa clara! Im really in love with this restaurant!
I ate here the last two nights (business trip). Pasta last night was dry, I think they forgot the oil. Overall the meal was basic and way overpriced. Had the $44 steak tonight. Over cooked and over priced. Also, they served it on a bed of brussel sprouts which influenced the flavor of the meat.
Awesome food. Great service. Reasonable price. BIG LIKE.
Why, oh why, do Hotels keep you hostage to very expensive airline food! No wonder it was empty on a friday night.
Outstanding services, elegant ambient, and great Mediterranean cuisine. The dining experience here is truely exceptional. The wait staff is attentative but not intrusive and make you feel like pampered. They appear be able to read your mind and would show up right there at the exact moment when you start to feel like needing them.
Got food poisoning after mig visit here. The kind you get fomrom bad meat or fish. Ate the burger which was overpriced even when not counting the included food poisoning. The service was okay but the servers were hovering a bit too much asking if everything was okay.
Professional, friendly service for adequate food in unobtrusive decor.
Dont miss this place. We are breakfast snobs and this is a place we would go out of our way to go back to. Huge portions. Our fav is the hash brown skillet with chorizo added. Yummy! Their salsa is great so ask for extra.
Beautiful restaurant, very attentive servers, very good food.
Nice service and good food (not great), but pricey. The reason I gave 4-star is because its always easy to get a table for lunch without making reservations here.
Great food, flexible chef, and quiet enough to enjoy a conversation.
Nice location with super service and good food.
Its okay. Very expensive but in a hotel so what do you expect.
Closed on Saturday and Sunday. Would have been good to know before booking the room. Website says open. CHANGING MY REVIEW. It turns out it wasnt closed sunday just saturday evening. Mis communication. We tried again on Sunday for the tailg8 party. A much better experience and Mondays breakfast buffet was pretty good. 3 instead of 1 star
I had the salmon risotto dish and it was amazing!
Ou really should check this place out.I found it on yelp this morning I was near where I was traveling this morning in Phoenix so I popped in. The chips, the hot chips, and salsa, three different salsas, are a great start. I had the omelet which is eggs stuffed with in house chorizo, Mexican cheese with a side beans and papas. This is truly the breakfast of champions. I also decided to try to posole. Chick full of pork and hominy in a delicious deep red broth. All in all Im quite happy. You will be too!
Another great place I visited while in California
The food was really delicious and the dessert, New York style Cheesecake, was amazing.
La Fontana has very nice service. You will leave with a smile
Very good place for business lunch
At leat not a very good option for take outs. It was on pricy side but the taste was average. Also it was not packed properly. The juice from sea food platter was all over the bag and other foods.
Unfortunately I got fermented tiramisu! Horrible and made me ill.
Lovely romantic Valentines dinner
I had the Greek salad. It was very well done!
OK service, good atmosphere, mediocre food.
