    Garden salad with chicken
    Brandon C.

    We were fortunate enough to be invited to the funeral for Smashmouth's Steve Harwell and we were staying at the hotel so we decided to give this place a try. We ate here for dinner two nights in a row if that says anything! The restaurant is pretty much just the bar with a few tables on the outside. There is a lot of seating in the hotel lobby though. The bartender advised ordering the food "to go" so we could sit anywhere. We had dinner during the free happy hour so we just ordered from the bartender. All three of the bartenders I interacted with were polite and professional. The food came out within a reasonable amount of time. Both nights I ordered the garden salad with chicken. Although, one night they must not have heard me and did not include the chicken. The salad had greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, and dried cranberries. However, much like the chicken, I only received the cranberries on one of the nights. The chicken was cold and flavorless. I definitely recommend this place if you are staying at the hotel.

    Our small group of friends came here on a weekday evening. This restaurant located inside the renovated Embassy Suites is quite interesting as the tables are spread out with some close to the lobby/lounge area. There's also a bar one one corner of the hotel. To my own curiosity, there were hardly anyone around except for a couple of occupied tables. Perhaps weeknight business is tough during off seasons. Anyhow, the service was expedient and we ordered the following: Steak frites, charred onion and arugula, fish & chips, and the fried chicken with provolone and aioli telera. I did not know what the telera is so looked it up and apparently, telera is the bread of choice used to make the Mexican sandwiches or torts. It tasted slight sour and had a nice firm texture. To my surprise, I found the sandwich to be really delicious. All the ingredients come together beautifully. The presentation of the dishes was a feast for the eyes. All the items on the plates were beautifully-laid out. The steak frites were cooked to perfection. The fish and chips also looked delightful. As for the taste and flavors, some were just okay but for the most part, it was as expected from a hotel restaurant. I may return in the future for certain occasions as the atmosphere is quite nice and conducive to business meetings and intimate discussions.

    Tried TASTE for the first time couple weeks back, and we were pleasantly surprised. They've gone through a major remodel, which includes the installation of Tesla chargers, which is how we ended up here. Figured we'd grab dinner while the Tesla charged. There were only 2 other groups when we arrived on a Friday evening. They had a kids menu, which was great. My son got the chicken strips and fries, along with their Pink Lemonade. He loved his food. My husband got the fish and chips, I had one of their bacon burgers with criss-cut fries. Food wasn't bad. The servers were so friendly! We had a great experience, will definitely go back.

    The service here is no doubt very friendly. I wish they had a better menu of food, but I guess typical hotel fare were standard pizzas and burgers. They did have quesadillas and chicken and waffles... I saw the chicken and waffles from a different table and I wasn't impressed with it. The full bar was a hit or miss. The Bloody Mary I got was okay, but they carried 209 Gin so that was great. It's very rare to find 209 in a hotel in the Bay Area. Anyway, I believe they also catered the daily breakfast as well as our event's lunch buffet. The breakfast had all the food groups needed to start the day. I really enjoyed the made-to-order Omelette. It was definitely carefully made with a nice smile. It went well with the salsa. I also loved their Orange Juice with pulp. Love the pulp! The lunch buffet was fantastic. I love the Beef Bourguignon. It reminded me of the Filipino dish Beef Kaldereta, although very different in flavor. I wish I'd taken photos of the breakfast and lunch buffet, but I'm sure I'll come back here for another event maybe.

    First time here.....Yelp lead me here Cool little dive bar…read morethat is literally under an over pass Parking is easy to come by Venue is clean and bar is well stocked, Prices are reasonable, drinks are ok, vibe is chill no drama. Food is ok, we shared the birria sliders not bad at all!! I would come back here again if I am ever in the area

    Date: Friday, November 8th, 2024 Time: around 8:30pm…read moreParty of: 4 *Old Fashion ($12) *Wine ($8) *Jameson and Ginger ($9) *Double Jameson Neat ($18) x2 *A Beautiful ($24) *Glenlivet 12 ($14) My group was in Fremont and looking for a spot to grab a few drinks. A friend suggested Tequila Shots since he's from this area. We walked in and found a table by the door. We took turns going up to the bar to order rounds. I believe the recap above only encompasses two rounds of drinks. One of my gfs is a wine drinker, so she ordered a glass of wine. Their offerings for red wine were limited, but the pour itself was very generous. My default drink at bars is Jameson. It's typically not too pricey and a reliable irish whiskey. Tho the pour for a double was inconsistent. I did get my first round in a snifter which was a nice touch. The power went out while we were here which was kinda funny. Not sure if they have a generator or anything for blackouts, but everything came back up in a few mins. There was a table filled with lit up sports gear, so that helped light the space when the power was out. A nice bar to grab drinks. Funny enough, no one in our group ordered tequila. I believe they do happy hour 10am to 6pm every day. (I may be recalling the sign I read incorrectly.) If I find myself in this area during that time, I wouldn't mind coming back. REVIEW #3621

    This was a cocktail pre-game before a dinner date. It is a hotel bar, which is not a bad thing and…read morewe liked it. Nice service, average selections on liquor but it was a really nice place if you want to meet up with people as the environment is a hotel lounge-y type place. Bar seating as well. I recommend for work meetings, low-key day drinking, even sports watching if you just want to have a second to breathe away from your home.

After feeling the pressure and ordering a drink the other employee chimed in that we could also buy a beer . ( not to mention during our stay she asked us to come down for happy hour over 4 times , and my husband is sober living ) so we declined again* .and he ordered a steak med rare and I ordered the wings extra crispy . MEAL / PRICE The steak was chewy and took for ever for me to eat the one bite I stole from my husband, and my wings tasted as if they were sauce first and then air fried . Over cooked and dried out . My husbands steak was NOT med rare there was no signs of life coming from this steak it was made as if the meat was gonna be used for tacos . And it was upwards of 20.00 along with my wings for about 16.00 and without a tip spending 40.00. OVERVIEW / TLTR : if you are hungry spend money on doordash and even if the food comes cold it would still be better, and the same price .

It was pretty dead on Father's Day when we came in but I can imagine how busy it can be and there are lots of activities in as a whole. Bummer that game cards don't let you have tickets for games unless you upgrade it? It was our first time here so maybe something to do with them being free as a bonus to something else. No biggie, kids had fun playing and that's more important. Unfortunately that's where the positives stop. The Bad: service in the main dining area was rough, and that's putting it nicely. I did privately message the business but it seems that only respond publicly. We came in on Father's Day for the first time. Got a young lady with dyed red hair as our server. She couldn't answer any questions about the menu, my mother in law was asking how many wings on the sampler to see if it would be enough (which is not stated in the menu) and a few other questions, all met with "I don't know". Ok whatever, nothing to fuss about. But the problems kept coming. Everyone got their food, she never brought the kids drinks, didn't check back when food got there until having to be flagged down. The whole time, she was within sight but busy chatting with the bartender and coworkers. When we brought up the missing kids drinks her attitude shifted like we were the problem. Had to flag her for beer refills, drink refills, she never asked if anyone needed anything when she did come by to drop things off and she would literally drop an item and zip away before anyone could ask. We weren't high maintenance but when you don't even bring things we asked for to begin with, like yea, we're going to ask for them. The worst part is, when my mother in law got up to use the restroom, which has her walking past the host stand, there was our server bad mouthing us to the hostess, not discreetly at all. She was saying that we're acting like she's not taking care of us. Girl, you aren't! Basic service is not being met when you're not at the least bringing people's drinks or checking on us without having to be flagged down. Especially when there's barely anyone here. She just stopped coming by and we had to flag someone else down just to pay and be done with it. It really is a shame because we did like all other aspects of Big Al's. My in-laws drove all the way out from Visalia to spend the day with us there and the grandkids and to have to overhear your server talking trash so openly is just wildly inappropriate. We weren't copping an attitude, being rude or short with her. Please and thank you for everything, but if people asking you for things is a problem, or you're going to take offense instead of accountability, then maybe service isn't your thing. And management should really address the professionalism or lack thereof. Some people may not take a serving/restaurant jobs seriously, but it's a real job and it's how I paid my bills and provided for myself and family for 22 years.
