I've known Daniel for years and he's been a very smart, capable, efficient and straight forward person. He's also very passionate in diligently helping people find their dream homes or market their homes.
Disappointed. This location hasn't had a lot of success lately and this restaurant attempt isn't an exception either. I ordered an expensive live-fish in form of soup and stir fry. The soup tasted diluted and the stir fry fish fillet was way over cooked, wasted my money on a nice fresh fish. Other dishes were average and service was very slow. I'm not coming back anytime soon.

Breakfast & Brunch
This joint is only open during the day for breakfast / brunch / lunch. They have a good selection of typical breakfast entrees and also burgers and sandwiches. Their ingredients are fresh and they a great job at cooking them. Very consistent. Their staff is casual and friendly (friendlier than most breakfast joints) and the crowd who eats there is also very nice. It's also kids friendly and they have kids menu such as Mickey Mouse pancakes. Definitely a neighborhood gem in Los Altos for families.
The food is good and menu is traditional but they do a much better job at presentation of the food (platting) than most Thai restaurants at this price level. Staff is friendly and casual although sometimes forget things you've asked for. The decor is comfortable and modern. I like their Pad Thai (which you can ask for a spicy version that really adds a kick to it), Chicken Satay and Pumpkin Curry. Drinks are well done as well. I'll keep coming back.
The chefs care about quality and often make healthy choices for their menu. The staff is efficient because they can handle peak hours with grace. I also like their flexibility in letting you customize your food even though they're "cafeteria-style". For instance, you can pretty much ask for anything in your burger / sandwich / pasta, like adding bacon to anything or veggies as a side to any entree. It's not free like Google's or Facebook's, but quality is rock solid.
I frequent here for their crazy mouth-watering short ribs stew and soups. The ribs are tender, tasty, satisfying and cooked to perfection. The kimchee served on every table is out of this world, very high quality and fresh. It's a busy place but staff is efficient and friendly. I like how they have a simple and small menu but they've done everything right. A great place for warm and delicious comfort food.

This is not only a nice neighborhood bookstore but also a great place to spend time educating your toddlers or kids and have lots of fun. The staff is super friendly and the environment is fun, energetic and very pleasant. Their prices are competitive with large bookstores but they offer a lot more because their staff is dedicated and passionate about children books and education. Highly recommended.
Definitely one of the better Pho place I've been to. First of all their location is good, easy parking (a huge parking lot behind the restaurant). Their service is efficient and it's not too crowded. I like their beef pho because their soup is excellent - very clear, flavorful and not salty. They have an option of healthy pho with lean meat. Their take out service is also exceptional, they packaged everything very well and actually separated the sliced beef with other ingredients so they're not overcooked. It's a place for no-frustration easy meal that tastes good.

I might come back for the "Bar" part but never again for the Sliders! As mentioned previous by other yelpers, the sliders are so dry that they're inedible. I ordered both the Classic American and also the Kobe beef sliders, both are horrible because the meat was like cardboard dry. I have the say the burger bun, veggies and cheese all tasted very fresh and I could tell they use good quality ingredients. So it's really a shame that meat was way too dry.
Aside from the inedible sliders, everything else is pretty good. The open environment is great for people watching. The drinks selections were great and prices were reasonable. The baked garlic fries were decent too.
I sincerely hope the kitchen of this place would look into how they cook the sliders. The concept and location of this place is brilliant, that is why I can't give it only 1 star. Please fix it!

This place is great for people watching if you find a seat by the windows or outside. They serve great Mediterranean / Italian food and friendly service. The bar has great selection of cocktails and wine. I tried the Filet Mignon Carpacio which melts in my mouth. The Clams And Mussels appetizer was also delicious - with a great aroma and the clams and mussels are of great quality.
