"I am aware that there have been changes in food quality due to Covid, but my recent visit to Erics Deli was quite disappointing. I ordered the Total Turkey Feast, which did not live up to its former standards. I used to enjoy this dish once or twice during the holiday season. While there was plenty of turkey and stuffing, there was only a small amount of cranberry and no sauce at all. I also tried the "Texas Jailhouse" Chili, which was not as bean-filled, meaty, or chunky as it used to be. I will give Erics Deli one more chance, but if there is no improvement, I may try to recreate the old style dishes at home."

"Date Night ASA Restaurant has two locations in the Bay Area and their Los Gatos location earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition This was my first dining experience at their more north location in downtown Los Altos With high ceilings and heart themed adorned menus, this was a perfect spot for a Valentine’s week dining experience The menu here is slightly different from the Los Gatos location and I’ve heard that the two locations may not be as closely affiliated when they first opened I loved the appetizers and particular loved the anchovy bread with two different anchovy types topped on crisp, warm bread. The Dungeness crab appetizer was also excellent For entrees, I opted for ASA’s signature exotic mushroom pasta that is on both the Los Gatos and Los Altos menu As a fungi fan, I absolutely love this dish and it’s one of the best pasta dishes in the South Bay and Peninsula The only miss was their special of the day of striped bass over risotto. The purple yam purée was sour and the risotto dry with zero moisture or liquid and more like a cooked rice dish than a risotto ASA is a fantastic destination for the Bay Area and while the prices are elevated, they reflect elevated cuisine (and high ceilings) Smoked and Stoned $16 Anchovy Bread $16 Dungeness Crab Toast $36 Special Striped Bass over Risotto ASA’s Exotic Mushroom Pasta $34 ASA Restaurant (Los Altos, CA) Reservations are recommended on Opentable and dining is indoor only.

"I love so much about Dinahs. It's a small boutique hotel with beautifully done landscaping. The garden areas are so pretty and my kids live feeding the coi fish. It's such a treat for my kids and I to come overnight and swim all day. My only complaint isthere is alot to be desired as far as the restaurant goes which is huge for us. We like to order food and drinks at the pool butthe last few stays there are issues every time. Mostly with bad attitudes and a no one seems to want to take your order. Iusually get this feeling like the left doesn't k ow what the right is doing. It would be perfect if the restaurant experienceimproved. There's lots of room for it!"

"The experience here from start to finish was pretty odd, and the service was bad. Menus weren't brought to us for a long time, they apologized when they eventually gave the menus to us. The restaurant was nearly empty aside from one other table, but everything was slow. We weren't checked in on at all during the meal. When we ordered, the waitress was very confused and unfamiliar with the menu. I assumed she was new, but then we received the same confusing service from all staff. We were randomly brought French fries that we didn't order, and then that kept happening with various other menu items The veggies in all the dishes were cold and tasted watery, unseasoned, and like they had been frozen. Scallion pancakes had no scallions in them at all. Basil eggplant dish had no basil at all. Smoothie wasn't blended properly: all ice at the bottom, and only a super sweet watery liquid would come through the straw. It tasted like the same overly-processed sauce was on every dish, nothing felt fresh. The kimchi rice was a good menu item, but it didn't really taste like kimchi. Just seasoned rice. Appetizer and drinks were brought out after we finished everything. A staff member tried to argue with us when we wanted to send something back. When we paid and thanked them, they didn't say a word to us or even look in our direction, and didn't give us a customer copy of the receipt."

"I recently visited Everest Cuisine to try their dine-in option after being a loyal customer of their tandoori momos for a few years now. As soon as we walked in, we were seated promptly even though the restaurant was full. I was amazed by the variety on their menu, they had a lot of curries that I had never seen before in any other restaurant.We decided to order our favorite tandoori momos, Mango lassi and paneer vindaloo. To our surprise, this was the first time we found a restaurant that served vegetarian vindaloo. Very few restaurants have it, and it was amazing. The server was very sweet, and he helped us with our order.However, the food took longer than we expected, and we had to wait for 35 minutes which was frustrating. Although they did apologize for the delay, it was disappointing. Additionally, the prices at Everest Cuisine were on the higher side compared to other Indian restaurants in the area.To make matters worse, they charged us for lemon, chillies, and onion, which was unusual since no other restaurant we had visited did this. Despite this, the food was delicious, and the service was great.Overall, I would recommend Everest Cuisine to anyone who is willing to splurge on a delicious meal. Just be prepared to wait a little longer than usual and expect some extra charges on your bill."
