This is a restaurant located inside the Marriott Courtyard in Los Altos which has become one of the favorite go-to spots for lunch for myself and my family. The reasons why we pick this place for dining are many: a menu (updated recently too) with a wide variety of food items to choose from at reasonable pricing; good quality and tasty foods with good portions for the price; consistent friendly and attentive servers; a large, clean, not-too-crowded dining room with spacious indoor and outdoor seating areas. A hidden gem for a good dining experience in the Silicon Valley.

I went there for breakfast on New Years Day and they open at 6AM. Parking was plentiful in the underground lot. The restaurant is in the lobby across the check in station. I ordered and paid for my Chilaquiles at the counter and sat at a table. My dish was brought to me shortly.
My meal consisted of 2 eggs, refried beans, spicy Nachos and a quarter sliced avocado for 12 bucks which is a good value since some places charge extra for eggs. The chips had some good heat.
My meal was filling and tasty. The other menu items were priced competitively so it’s worth repeating for those.
The food was superb. I enjoyed the tuna steak. Look at the menu and you can see how it is served. The presentation was beautiful. My partner in crime has the calf’s liver which is only available on Mondays and Tuesdays. It was outstanding. The drinks were served quickly and cold. My only concern was the amount of time between getting my salad and main dish. We waited longer than expected but the bartender assured us it was on the way. (We were seated at the bar). It was worth the wait.
Nice ambience. Hand made Potato chips were nice and crispy. Meatloaf had good texture with nice sauce on top. Other people had salmon and pork chop all of which was liked a lot. Big portions were served. Service was prompt. Parking available underground.
Super unusal place as in I wouldn’t think of normally going to a hotel for brunch, but came here on a date and really loved it!
Good:
This place is in a hotel, so there’s ample outlets and places to charge and some tables even have a TV attached to them and that’s just pretty unique in my opinion.
The staff here are also so nice! They checked in on us a lot and made it really easy to order and get water refills.
I really liked my chicken pot pie dish – brought me back to childhood days and the taste was really good – portions huge too! The fries were great too.
They give you free potato chips that are super crunchy and taste good too.
I liked the french onion soup too – really flavorful.
Bad:
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the french dip – the sandwich itself was missing some key flavor.
Overall such a cool place! I would come back since the prices were also really reasonable.
