Upgrading rating to 5 stars! In my first review, I mentioned that we weren't thrilled with the attention we got from our waitress and they more than made up for it this time!
Our waiter was awesome - perfectly attentive, friendly and professional. The head chef Vy Diep came out to say hello at the beginning of the meal and to apologize for our past experience.
As usual, we ordered the prime rib and oreo cookie ice cream, but we did manage to sneak in a few new dishes:
Steamed clams with sausage & grilled bread - The broth was to die for!
Heirloom tomato salad with blue cheese and champagne vinegarette dressing - Fresh, light and delicious.
At the end of our meal, Vy came out again to tell us that they would take care of our bill. It was SUCH a nice surprise. We were already huge fans of this place before and now will forever be loyal customers.

Trio! When I walked in this restaurant, the trio was playing beautiful sassy jazz (Oh, I miss hearing live Jazz). This restaurant is packed with people even on a Tuesday night and it was 8:15pm. I think the jazz is bringing all the people here.
I have never gone to this restaurant before ("grill" is not my kind of food). I was surprise that they have a vegetarian plate. I ordered it and it was OK. The service is good and the Jazz trio is excellent and exceptional. I was told that live music is Monday-Thursday 6-9.
This is a good place for live jazz music, with no cover charge nor entrance fee.

Upon coming here again with the friend, I'm knocking them down a couple stars. Yeah the service was good, but the food was just not up to par as my previous experiences.
Plus my fries came to the table cold. I had to ask the server for a new side of fries; something that I avoid doing (unless my order was completely off). This is not acceptable - especially for a place that is supposed to be as nice as this. The server gave me a strange look, but obliged nonetheless.
Our entrees were mediocre - like somebody had cooked these items then forgotten about them and decided, "hey why let it go to waste?", threw it in the microwave and served it to us.
Completely ruined Los Altos Grill for me.
The friend and I haven't come back here since then... Quite frankly, I haven't had the urge to. Don't know when we will.

i loved it as bandera's and i love it as the grill...
Atmosphere - dark wood, leather, circular bar in the center of the resto. lots of locals, family and singles, not sleezy.
Food: everything ive had is good. steak is well cooked the rotisserie chicken i usually order and pickup for an easy meal at home. the ribs fall off the bone and the sauce is not too overpowering. The mac n cheese appetizer, is delicious and always tends to ruin my apetite for the rest of them meal cuz i cant help but finish it all. THE COLESLAW... soo good, but has a peanut sauce, so if ur allergic im sorry cuz ur missing out and unfortunately they cant change it. Their corn bread is a favorite amongst my friends i however dont like the jalapenos, but even so it is good. The french dip is really good as well as the burgers.
since it is such a locals spot - the wait staff is very friendly an attentive, especially if they have seen you there before.
oh and a must try : THE LEMONADE - Its fresh and not too sweet.... try it with a rasperry or cherry flavor. sooo goodd mmmmm
yeah and no corkage fee- another amenity for their loyal local customers which is fantastic!

What to order? PRIME RIB BABY ($28)!!! I order mine rare and dunk it into the horseradish that comes with. The mashed potatoes that comes with this dish are heavenly *drooling just thinking about them*. They add chopped white onions and green onions into the mix of light and airy potatoes. I enjoy plopping small forkfuls into the auju sauce and gobbling each bite up. Why a small forkful? I find something heavy like mashed potatoes should be consumed in delicate bites to appreciate the flavor and it makes the delicious side last longer!!!! I only wish they offered a side salad that comes with the dish instead of charging for it separately.
Our waitress was super friendly which made this visit all the better :)
People thought this was:
So super good.
A relative of Houstons. Cozy, romantic, sexy atmosphere.
The crowd: hmm, ok, kinda blah.
Staff: they do a great job!
Food: delish!! The enchiladas, the fries, the salads, the drinks, very good. Great veg food and my pals went crazy for the burgers.
I have tried this place only once and most likely will not be going back. I ordered the Bangers and Mash which is mash potatoes and sausages. The potatoes were tasty but a bit dry. The sausages that arrived were not cooked through and was still cold in the center. I ate one bite of it and did not get sick the following day. The waiters were happy to cook it again, but did not remove the item from the tab either. Overall, besides the uncooked sausage, everything was decent. Nothing special. There was a live music band inside. Overall, I wouldn't go back unless I have to.
Very solid four star establishment. Tuna Poke is a star. We had two orders. Drinks are flammable (Cosmo's and Mai Tai's) and the water is fine in the old milk container but get some larger glasses! Main reason for the downgrade from five stars is the Caesar salad. It was just not good. The lettuce cut they use is awful. I don't like the cornbread croutons either...give me something solid with my Caesar. Entrees were good but lay off the cheese on the spinach. Put it on the side. Blackened Snapper was very large cut. Banana cream pie was just ok. Overall a solid four star. Could not believe how crowded it was on a Wed. night. No recession in Los Altos I guess.
People thought this was:
3 stars because the prime rib entree didn't come with veggies only potatoes. It is good and I will have it over and over again and the corn bread is super Delicious order can feed a family for 2 days (or 2 gluttons for 2 days)..
The prime rib was made well and well-seasoned. It should come with veggies, this is California after all not the mid west..;)
Overview:
What a great restaurant! They serve great food and great wine in a lively environment. It is a tad on the noisy side, but still really enjoyable. Sometimes its nice to not whisper through dinner :-)
Must Try:
Artichokes: These were so yummy. They were served right off the wood fired grill - still smoking in fact! They come with a mayo dipping sauce that was so tasty. If you like artichokes, you'll love these!
Grilled Pork Chop: This was my hubby's order... he loved it! Beware, the thing is HUGE! He woke up this morning saying, "I can't believe I ate half a pig!" Too funny.
Mashed Potatoes: I don't even like mashed potatoes and these were so good! They have other stuff mixed in, so they're not your run-of-the-mill taters.
Stay Away:
Everything is great!
Wine List:
Short, sweet and to the point. We ordered a medium priced bottle of wine and I was so incredibly thrilled with it. We even wrote down what it was, I liked it so much.
Bread:
No bread is served with your dinner, but the servings are so bit it's actually a blessing!
Service:
Really attentive, but not in your face. We were right under the AC and they even turned the fan down so we weren't so cold. I love that!

My friends took me here to (ostensibly) celebrate a recent promotion.
I wouldn't take anyone here to celebrate anything except maybe impending retirement, or maybe something more seethingly passive-aggressive. ("Hey, I'm like, SO happy that you're engaged to that douche, let's go out to this AWESOME place in Los Altos that's not depressing at all!")
This place obviously gets a lot of love--I just don't get it. The food is freakin' Applebees fare at twice the price (chips and mediocre guac for 9 bucks? really?), it's crowded, it's got dark wood so you can't even see who you're trying to talk to (LOOK, we're almost classy, can't you smell the rich mahogany?), you can't hear anything over the hotel elevator music, drinks are pricey, service is slow (if friendly).
Maybe I'll come back when I'm a top-heavy cougar on the prowl for some young Google guy to buy me a fruity, overpriced concoction with a girly name. Until then, I'll stick with places that are a little more low-key and a lot less depressing.

I'm updating my review because my boyfriend and I went back this weekend and I tried a couple of new things...
I finally had the ever-famous cornbread. GOOD! I slather it with butter, of course, but it really is very good.
I also tried the French dip. Whoa...I would imagine that the French dip sort of gets looked over, but it was the best one I've ever tasted. The meat melts in your mouth (it's really piled on there too), and the au jus is perfect!
This place makes a perfect (and huge) Cosmo, btw...

This place is owned by the same folks who own Bandera, Houston's and Rutherford Grill. It's also one of the better places to eat in downtown Los Altos. The food is standard American fare - prime rib, burger, rotisserie chicken, grilled veggies, salad, fish...you get the idea. Everything I've had has been pretty solid. My fav is the grilled artichoke. LOVE it. Their cornbread is yummy too. In the fall/winter, their seasonal veggie is braised red cabbage which comes with a dollop of goat cheese. Very tasty! Desserts are shabby either. The Oreo cookie is a go-to dessert for me. However they also added a sundae to the menu, which I like as well. It comes with the fudge on the side so you can add it as you eat. The only problem is that there isn't enough fudge. It needs more fudge! Or maybe I ate it all too fast in the beginning.
Their wine list isn't too bad either. But what is even better is that there isn't a corkage fee. What my friends and I usually do is put our names down for dinner, hop over to Vino 100 (sorta behind the Grill), taste a few wines and grab a bottle for dinner.
If you don't care for wine, their cocktails are great too. I am a fan of their margaritas on the rocks. Additionally the bar is a great place to people watch!
My parent's chose the Los Altos Grill for my Dad's birthday dinner. The meal was good-- I had the Prime Rib french dip sandwich with veggies and the BF had the Rib platter. Both of us liked our meal. The cornbread is good too and a try at least once status in my book.
The BEST part however was the dessert so SAVE ROOM!!
I had the Schafenberger ice cream sundae (3 heaping scoops of ice cream and toasted sugar pecans on top). The BF had the Oreo cookie ice cream sandwich-- SO good too!
Great atmosphere too-- great for a date spot because it's not too formal but still has a classy edge.
This is the perfect place to go when you are avoiding carbs.
The pilsner beer on tap was wonderful. I had a pint.
I had a dinner salad with bleu cheese and champagne vinaigrette (on the side,) followed by an end-cut slab of fantastic prime rib with broccoli instead of mashed potatoes. The broccoli was steamed to perfection and had bits of crumpled parmesan cheese on top. The horseradish sauce was perfect, not to hot, but not at all mild. I am not an au jus fan, but another party at our table had the French Dip sandwich and he sopped up all his au jus, so it must have been good. There was such a huge cut of beef, I had to take most of it home in a box. The waiter was such a doll, he gave me fresh au jus and horseradish. There is enough prime rib to make a dinner for two tomorrow.
My husband had bangers and mash and just loved it.
After dinner I had a cappuccino that rivals any coffee shop's in the entire bay area.
Lastly, our waiter (Darren?) never bugged us, but I never had to ask for water or anything ....
We are all avoiding carbs and sugar, so no one had dessert - but there is an Oreo ice cream concoction that sounded wonderful.
If you want prime rib - you will never eat prime rib better than this.
This place has great chocolate martinis. But for those of you who think they taste just like chocolate milk, it'll hit you once you get to 12...
It's part of the Houston's chain so same menu as Rutherford Grill in Napa and Bandera in Chicago but the food is always reliable and good. The artichokes and corn bread are my favorites and you carnivores out there will love the ribs and prime rib.
I have to say that I usually go this restaurant with fairly high expectations. However, I have been disappointed the lat two times I have gone. After experiencing many high quality meals here in the south bay, the LAG simply does not stack up. The Salmon dish is a perfect example. It is nicely grilled, but then over-slathered with a thick, powerful sauce that completely ruins any salmon flavor. I might as well be eating bread with sauce. Also, the presentation of this dish is awful - just the piece of fish and and a side of veggies - no garnish, no rice or other side to balance the flavor of the main dish.
My latest visit was with a group of friends (not my choice to go there) and I thought I'd play it safe with their $13 cheeseburger. Once again, the meat was nicely grilled, but waaaay over seasoned. It was in fact almost too salty to eat. C'mon guys, you are a supposedly fancy grill and you can't even get a burger right?
If you have to go here, I recommend you do NOT get the salmon or the cheeseburger, and go with low expectations.
People thought this was:
I have found people watching in Los Altos Grill to be almost half the fun of eating at this place. There really is so much to see.
Watch the bartenders are they make they muddle the mint leaves for the killer mojitos served here.
Observe as parties of different sizes dig into succulent looking prime ribs or rare tuna steaks
Stare in awe as the cooks bring in truckloads of ribs to char on the grill. Salivate as other cooks hang cash iron pans teeming with Yankee corn bread on specially made cooking racks
Lastly, count the average number of wine bottles per table. Since Los Altos Grill does not charge corkage, people tend to bring a lot of their private stash to pair with the food
The only downside about this place is both the beer (!?) and the dessert selection seem to be afterthoughts.
This place seems to always be busy so do get reservations before you go.
I went here a few weeks ago for a friends birthday. It was a Friday night and the place was packed! We've made reservations for 4 in advance, but still had to wait 15 minutes before being seated. It wasn't too bad given how busy they were.
Based on yelp's recommendations, we ordered the cornbread and artichoke as appetizers. The cornbread was AMAZING. It's not traditional cornbread, there were little bits of jalepenos to give it a kick! A must try for this place. The artichokes were good, but not special. I wouldn't order that again.
My girlfriend and another friend ordered the prime rib french dip, the birthday girl ordered the pork chop, and I ordered the prime rib. The prime rib french dip was the highlight of the meal. The meat was very tender and the au jus was just amazing (my girlfriend only shared half with me, I'll definitely order a full order next time I visit). This dish came with thinly cut fries, not great, but it was pretty good. I don't remember much about the pork chop, so no comment on that. The prime rib came with mashed potatoes. This dish was very good as well. The prime rib had the right amount of seasoning and the au jus was perfect. The mashed potatoes are not traditional mashed potatoes, however, I liked it a lot.
Do remember to bring your favorite wine. There is no corkage fee here. How awesome is that?!?!
People thought this was:
Identical menu to Rutherford Grill, but equal in taste and atmosphere. (because it is owned by the same company)
It was a little loud, but the quality of the food and service is excellent. This is closer to home, so I will make this my special occasion restaurant!
I have been a fan of the Houston's Restaurant chain for many a moon. Their restaurants are simple, the food delicious, and the execution is flawless. Service is efficient and seemless. Way back when, I was in the restaurant biz. We used to bring our Managers to Houston's and just have them watch everything. Watch how efficient they were. How clean the place was. How service was quick but invisible. We would bring our Managers there just to show them that, yes, in fact, you could be that good, and yes, you could get your staff to execute if you tought them and then held them to a standard. They were a fine example of what casual, but nicer dining could/should be.
Fifteen years later, they are still doing a great job. Which leads me to my review of LAG....Since we are Houston's deprived on the Peninsula, we get the next best thing....Houston's cute little cousin..."Los Altos Grill".
I've only had a couple of menu items here , because every time I go...I get sucked in......I get sucked in by the BONES.....them lip smackin, tangy, fall off the bone tender, chared on the outside, juicy on the inside RIBS........Fred Flintstone here I come...The brontoburger has nothing on these ribs....So good...so tender...so fufilling...Batman in love.....
Yup...go for the ribs.....I opt for the double side of the peanut, cilantro coleslaw (cabbage is good for you)....Give me a bib...I pile of hot towels...and face down...chompfest '09.
They have some other goodies of note.....Jalepeno corn bread...delcious little side salad with corn and roasted beets....great bread...and one of my favorite wines by the glass "The Prisoner".
Cool atmosphere.....nice Los Alto'y type crowd.......piano player for mood...cheerful, efficient service....
Houston's little cuz scores again.
Good to see that some things never change...
Claire loves the leftovers too!

Damn! We recently came here and this place was packed at 5:30 p.m. -- F the recession!
We went with our party of eight, which included seniors and kiddies, and everyone left satisfied. The kiddies were happy with the mac and cheese, the crispy fries that came on almost all the plates, and the oreo sundae. The Chinese grandparents liked the hearty portions of well-seasoned charred beef. Hubby and I enjoyed the perfectly cooked seared salmon with asparagus and French dip sandwich.
Service was friendly and efficient. The one glitch we encountered was that there were no high chairs available when we arrived since tons of families were dining at that hour. However, the manager came and apologized for the inconvenience and assured us that one would be brought over as soon as one was made available.
All in all, this is a nice, solid restaurant - one where you can easily take your picky eaters (e.g. my father-in-law).

DELICIOUS. Best part: Bring your own wine with NO CORKAGE FEE. If you have to wait, just drink your wine while you do so! It is awesome. The cornbread is amazing as well as the grilled artichokes. Every entree is so good. The ambiance was calm, social and modern and we loved the experience. We will definitely be going back! Yum!
Bordering 1.5 stars...
...
What is up with places not living up to the hype? Argh. This place was just ordinary for us. It's worth a try, perhaps we just came on a bad night....
Here's the breakdown @ our table:
2 ribs - one of the the better dishes though not anything special
2 rotisserie pork chops - it was huge BUT so bland/flavorless, dry, boring like chicken, totally disappointing
seabass special - meh, boring
oreo cookie dessert - prob the best item we had tonight. it's sad when the best item @ a grill is the dessert. sad.
Overall:
The service really brought the stars down here.
Service: SUCKED :( slow with everything, did NOT deserve the required 18% tip.
Food: ~$30/plate
Portions: On the larger side but if it's no good, are you going to finish it?
Would I return: No

Best feature of this place is the interior, a beautiful bar and nice seating on both sides. The live music is also a great touch.
Food is simple, as you would expect it. The filet mignon is good, with broccoli and mashed potatoes on the side. The dip duo is rich with guac and cheddar dips--good with a drink. The caesar salad has cornbread croutons.
Their featured roasted chicken is weak -- dry and salty... :(
Drinks--it's the simple stuff as well. No fancy mixed drinks, though, I wish they did have those. Service is generally good, but the bartenders could get moody, especially if you eat at the bar.
An older crowd, too, but not too stuffy.
Expect to spend about $100 including a few drinks.
Always gread food. The ribs are some of the best I have ever had. Cornbread appetizer is great too.
Probably the best grill place from San Jose to San Mateo!!!
Try the smoked salmon as a starters... Nothing like that
I believe it can hold up to 10 people.
We have always had good food at the Los Altos Grill, my kids love the garlic mashed potatoes. You may have a wait and the noise level is high, but the food is good. And no corkage fee!

I took my better half here for a small celebratory dinner. The atmosphere is definitely perfect for business meetings, and it was obvious that everyone agreed. We were surrounded by business men and women, wining and dining each other. The large and crowded bar area is made for a light atmosphere despite the slightly fancy restaurant. The restaurant was loud, which sometimes made it difficult to conversate.
The menu is minimal, with a some salads, fish, steaks, sides, and the usual American grill items. He ordered the special, which was a ribeye. I had their $13 cheeseburger, and we both shared the cornbread. I must say that after hearing so much about the famous cornbread (it's actually called "Famous" on the menu), I was quite disappointed. I loooove cornbread, but theirs was dry, dense, and cold. We should have done what the table near us did: ask them to take it back and bring is a warmer one. I honestly like the cornbread at Armadillo Willy's better (*gasp* yes, I went there!). My cheeseburger was very tasty though! Very fresh, and you could definitely enjoy the flavor in the ground meat. His rib eye was also pretty good, and reasonably priced for a rib-eye as well.
We had a reservation, and despite how crowded it was, we were in and out in less than an hour! I was surprised about this, especially for a Friday night. All-in-all, Los Altos Grill is a good, solid, and safe fallback place to bring people to because the atmosphere is nicer but still chill, the menu is easy for most palettes, and their prices are reasonable for a fancier restaurant. Other than to meet people here for dinner though, I wouldn't be jumping for joy to return myself.

1 Oreo cookie sandwich dessert (shared of course)
Everything was super good! I really should have tried the prime rib special but alas, I am back to the Midwest for biz travel next week. I'll have my fill of red meat then.

Well, I know why we came here tonight
The four star Yelps made the decision seem right
But my experience didn't knock me off my chair
And I'm wonderin' how giving 4 stars is fair
5 star cornbread to left of me, all the other food to the right
Here am I stuck in the middle with you....(3 stars seems like the right thing to do...)
Came here last night with great friends for great laughs and great food...well color me disappointed b/c while the company was divine, this place was just okay for me. While I loved loved loved the cornbread and really liked our super patient and nice waiter, I just didn't dig the rest of the food. I had an ahi burger which was ahi (ground) and then supposed to be pan-seared...I say "supposed to" because there was no "searing going on", that puppy was cooked all the way through. It was accompanied by this very bland sauce that I equate to thousand island dressing. Our server brought me mustard, but that just didn't seem to complement the sandwich at all. I still ate it, b/c food has to be really bad for me to turn it down, but I wasn't really happy about it. Further, I walked out wheezing a little bit. You see, I'm allergic to cilantro and this restaurant LOVES cilantro. According to our server, there is cilantro in most everything, and while I really thought the food I had was safe, I must have received a little dose as I could feel it in my lungs.
So yelp summary song is, "Won't you take me to...Cilantro town? Won't you take me to...average bound? Won't you like me to...feed you cornbread? Los Altos Grill is....okay in my head"

Solid food in my work hood! YAY!
Took Eric out for his bday and we celebrated well.
I ordered the following with comments:
(1) GG martini - came out fast, cold, and good. Just how I like em. ($12)
(2) Tuna Burger - no buns, decent fries, but flavors was too lemony and weird ($16)
(3) Banana creme pie - not too good with the carmel sauce and whipped cream. The crust was crumbly and not sweet. The banana pieces were not ripe either. Very disappointed. ($8)
(4) Deviled eggs - 5 halves, very good and tasty, my favorite for the night and a bargain. ($3)
Eric had the Oreo ice cream dessert which was much better than my crappy banana creme pie. So there is hope with their dessert menu.
Service was prompt and friendly.
Next time, I will be ordering deviled eggs and a martini and calling it a day.

i have to be honest that i love the food here BUT...I made a reservation and was still kept waiting 45 minutes. Don't bother making a reservation because it is not a reservation in the typical sense. The don't "hold" a table for you at said time. They just put you on the list for the next table. It is their desire to keep all the tables filled and not empty while waiting for a reservation.
So don't go with the expectation that you will be seated at your reservation time. Just go without one because you'll still end up waiting.
They knew we were unhappy and offered to make amends. At least they tried to fix the situation, but we're all busy these days and there was no way they could give us our 45 minutes back.

One of my favorites, this place epitomizes comfort food for me. I love that they still let me an order a dish that has been off the menu for over 4 years now - the dish "Cluck and Moo" which is their ribs with a 1/4 rotisserie chicken served with a slab of cornbread and out of this world mashed potatoes. Technically, it could be enough food for two but I've been known to finish off the whole plate it is so good. I forget about carb watching when I go here - the cornbread and potatoes do me in everytime. I'm not a huge ribs fan but love them here because you can eat them with a fork, the meat just falls off the bone.
And yes, the no corkage fee is awesome. It is always jam packed so try to make a reservation or expect to wait a while, even hard to squeeze in to order a drink at the bar.
PS - My dog LOVES the rib bones I bring home for him too. :)
People thought this was:
Los Altos Grill is always chock full of ppl. Definitely an older crowd, married couples.. botoxy wives and jolly husbands. The decor is woody and rustic, it's loud and bustling inside. It's ALWAYS packed, so make reservations if you can. If you have to wait, grab a glass of wine from the bar and people watch.
My friend and I always share the ribs and baked mac n cheese. It's the perfect amount of food and comfort food at that! I've also had the chicken enchiladas, very decent. But the RIBS man..... yummy tender meat that falls off the bone... comes with mashed potatoes and Asian cole slaw. Perfect everytime.
The corn bread was not amazing, kind of dry and bland. Definitely get the RIBS!!!!!
This is without a doubt, one of my go-to dinner spots in the South Bay. To sum it up: NO CORKAGE! Which is awesome in an of itself.
But the reason I really love it? It appeals to boys and girls alike. My love can get steak (or chicken, or a burger, or any of their delicious meaty meats) and I can get salad or tuna. Together we are happy happy.
I also love that their service is really really really spot-on. You need something, they are there before you even ask.
And you walk in, you really feel the electricity in the air. This place is buzzing with people drinking wine and the 3 piece band turning out the tunes.
The only downfall is its own success ... it doesn't matter if its a weeknight or a weekend, this place is SLAMMED. So do yourself a favor and call ahead. If you do not call ahead, make sure you bring an extra bottle of wine! They will uncork it while you wait. The last time we were there, we saw a group of 50-somethings drinking a bottle in the parking lot (I kid you not).
People thought this was:
Setting: Perfect casual yet upscale joint. Go with a friend or go on a date. Bar area is fun to stand or sit at.
Drinks: No corkage. Good wine list.
Food: yummy burgers, salads, etc. I had the best french dip sando. Ever.
Service: friendly in-n-out style service, young energetic types. Not a drop of tude in the whole place.
Do not be fooled though...you will have to wait if you go on Saturday at 7.
The atmosphere is vibrant, cozy, romantic and chic! Love the atmosphere! Although, my husband teases that it's a cougar bar!
The staff is very attentive, helpful and cool. We've always had fabulous service!
The food is yummy! This is one of my favorite restaurants around. The prime rib is my favorite; the creamy horse-radish sauce is the reason I order it! It is really good! The artichoke appitizer is my husband's favorite. The "nice little house salad" is the best little salad ever! I thought the crem brulee was the best one I've had, but my husband worships the oreo cookie ice cream! We take all our out-of-town guests here for a memorable dinner!
Great restaurant, great food, great service!!
