"We had a great dinner and excelled service. The 3 of us shared fries (so good! , beet salad (also delicious and sliders. Lastly we had the doughnuts for dessert. Our server was great with beer recommendations and accommodating our requests for a few things on the side, wanting a side of ranch, etc. The only complaint was that during dinner there was a terrible smell of smoke. We pointed this out to the server and manager as there were people smoking directly outside the restaurant. The smoke smell went away, but came back later and it was the same group. This leads me to think it is possible that the restaurant didn't actually talk to the smokers the first time and let them know the law about smoking near a door. Also, I feel like the host who was standing right there looking at them should have been trained to know this is not ok and either feel comfortable talking to the group or alerting the manager. Later the manager came to our table and apologized saying he was in the back and could smell it. This is not a reason to keep me from coming back because we had a good time. However, I do wish this was handled better and hopefully now the staff knows what to do in the future. I looked on the way out and didn't see any signs about no smoking so perhaps those can be added. I know I have seen them at other restaurants. (I believe the law in Mountain View is something like 25 feet from the entrance there is no smoking allowed."
