    Breakfast
    Charles C.

    Oaky my first time eating downstairs for dinner. They shut the lounge down due to this thing called COVID 19, WTF, didn't want to eat out so trying downstairs for dinner. Ordered the Chicken and Veggies over rice ( only on the room service menu ) and an Estella, no change in my take on the food. Extra Star for dinner waitress for giving me the room service dish in the dining room, funny can't understand why that is a big deal, but the perfect balanced and healthy meal, well at least it sounds a healthy, yeah good too. Okay is 4 stars is really good! Don't forget his is a Marriott restaurant as just what you get in a hotel restaurant. As a platinum elite it's free, so even better, if you got to pay, probably 3 stars! I stay here weekly, staff like cheers, knows what I want to drink, how much and where I want to sit, omelet lady knows what I want and gets it going when she sees me. It is typical breakfast; eggs, bacon/sausage, potatoes, extensive bread, bagels, best thing got salmon, capers If you are a health nut got three bland fruits: pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew ( never great but passable ). The oatmeal is good though. You can pig out and you can see lots of the regulars do piling on the bacon, potato's and eggs, LOL

    This is a hotel restaurant, so it's a little pricier (especially for breakfast or brunch) than some alternatives a freeway exit or two away. That said, the food here is actually quite good and the service is excellent. Adjacent to the lobby, this large, well-appointed dining room is conveniently located near the main entrance to the hotel, features plenty of natural light, and can typically seat any sized party without a long wait. In addition to the bar, there are a couple of strategically placed clusters of large screen TVs scattered around the main dining room enabling diners to watch their favorite sports team if they wish. More importantly, there is plenty of seating for those who would rather not be bludgeoned with television while dining. We watched San Jose State beat the University of New Mexico Lobos last Saturday night (October 4) at the bar. Our bartender (I think his badge said, "Jeff," but I think he goes by "Jay") took great care of us while we sipped wine by the glass and noshed on a Wedge Salad, Flatbed Pizza dish and a wonderful Edamame and Firecracker Shrimp appetizer. There was so much food we didn't finish off the salad until the next day for lunch. The flatbread item was tasty enough, albeit unexceptional, but the firecracker shrimp was spicy (like God intended) and the edamame was grilled in a soy-based sauce that added a lot to this traditional Japanese snack. And the Wedge Salad was as good as any I've had anywhere -- nearly half a head of iceberg lettuce dressed with plenty of blue cheese and featuring fresh tomatoes and a ton of bacon chunks. Breakfast features all of the menu items one would expect, as well as, an excellent self-serve continental breakfast which includes a variety of cereals, breads and pastries. The commercial bakery mini-bagels are soso, but there is an excellent selection of fresh tomatoes, sliced onion, lox, capers and cream cheese to dress them to taste. On weekends, guests can opt for the buffet which features made-to-order omelettes, scrambled eggs, bacon, a couple of sausage options, country fried potatoes, and fresh fruit and anything from the Continental Breakfast Bar. Unlimited fresh juices and coffee (and/or tea, milk, etc.) are included and served at the table. The brunch buffet also includes either pancakes or waffles, but they don't fare well on the steam table and tend to either dry out or get too cold to melt butter on them. Overall, theGREATROOM features good food, excellent service, easy freeway access and has become my "GoTo" business dining spot in southern Alameda (Fremont/Newark) County.

    Birthday cake that chef Tom had room service deliver.

    What a difference a year makes! The breakfast at the hotel is still free for guests who "ask" the hotel front desk. Gone was the manager from my last review who gave me attitude when I requested a box so that I could take food up to my wife who was still in bed. My daughter and I walked into the restaurant and were greeted with big smiles from the staff. When we asked for a box, they asked me how many boxes I wanted. The breakfast buffet was even more impressive than my last visit. In addition to the omelet station, they added a pancake and waffle station where the chefs will cook the pancakes and waffles for you. They still had the chicken and pork sausages, roasted fingerling potatoes, fresh fruit, cereals, breads, smoked salmon and oatmeal. No more lukewarm food like last year. All the foods were hot and delicious. Service was great! They seated us immediately when we came back down from delivering food to my wife. The daughter and I were greeted by Executive Chef Tom. Chef Tom was great! He found out it was my wife's birthday. While my daughter and I were eating, he sent a cake up to my room. My wife who was not expecting room service did not want to open the door to accept her gift from Chef Tom. What a surprise. The hotel upgraded us to the Concierge level, where they also have a concierge room with hot breakfast and hors d'oeuvres for at dinner. My wife and daughter loved the Chicken cacchiatore and beef stew that they offered as hors d'oeuvres. It wasn't until I met Chef Tom that he told me that he cooked all the hors d'oeuvres for the concierge room. The difference is obvious. No more cold food. Food was good! Server are nice and have a great attitude. Chef Tom has done a tremendous job at making the restaurant great as in their name.

    Ceasar salad

    Stayed here and check in late and my wife and I decided to eat dinner here and we order that flat bed pizza, Cesar salad, and chicken with Peruvian mash, with Brussels sprouts and dinner was on point no complaints. Over exceed expectations.

    Perfect date night ambiance

    Hotel fine dining done right. We love The Great Room located at the Fremont Marriott. We come once a year, and the menu is different each year. But you can always count on the staples of fine dining prepared beautifully. My husband ordered the avocado cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection. I ordered the chimichurri skirt steak. My medium rare was exactly how I ordered it and I loved the pairing of mashed butternut squash. I try to limit my potato intake, so this was a nice touch. I am not an asparagus fan, but I ate a few of them. I would have prefered green beans. We started our meals with caesar salads and they were very delicious. Our server Sher, was such a delight. Charming personality and really made sure we had a romantic night. She was a stellar photographer and had fun making sure she captured the perfect photo of my date night. Love this place and enjoy our yearly dinner here.

    Mother's Day Brunch Review:…read more 2008 Rate: $38/person. 10:30 or 12:30p options. 12:30pm was our choice. "Breakfast" options included: sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, waffles, and two made-to-order omelet stations "Lunch" options included: apricot coated ham, rib-eye roast, oysters, king crab legs, shrimp cocktail The obligatory champagne was also served. Dessert... Couldn't tell ya, didn't have any. Overall, I'd say it was a pleasant experience. Food was good, the service was on point... Only "minor" complaint I would have is that because of the set times allowed for reservations, the line for the buffet did get pretty long. Not "This is f'in ridiculous" long... but certainly longer than one would expect from a $38 non-Vegas buffet.

    Working at NUMMI we are always looking for a decent spot to have department lunches where we can…read moreeat and go. Harvest Cafe is good in that: - they took our order ahead of time - they cooked it prior to our arrival - they brought it out promptly after we were seated - the food wasnt cold It is very difficult to have group lunches (more than 15) in under an hour, but they have been good in having us in and out by an hour's time. We usually fax in our order and give a time that we will be arriving so they are able to target that time to have the food ready. While this may not seem like a large feat, we always encounter major problems when requesting to have to food cook prior to our arrival, so that we can eat in a timely manner. I usually order the Steak and Bleu Cheese Salad ($12) which is very good and very filling. I always pre-split this order and eat the rest during the afternoon slump. The steak is tender and flavorful and the dressing doesnt overpower the salad.This last time though I was not very hungry and ordered the Beef Kebobs ($9) instead. The beef is actually the same kind of steak they use for the salad, just uncut, and it comes with a side of flat bread. It is a little smaller than I thought it would be, but it is just an appetizer... at an entree price.

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.

The live band was awesome & singers were very talented. For years (decades) this place has always been a fun night out. A nice alternative from the club. You can see the entertainment schedule on Facebook or Instragam, lots of different bands to checkout. It's free but charge sometimes for special events like their New Years Eve party.

Menus haven't changed (except for prices of course) Ordered their Steak and Eggs, and added sausages for sides. Love how the servers make sure to keep my coffee cup full, almost all the time. The steak was tasty. Somewhat tough, but the flavor compensated. They give you a lot of potatoes and it is very filling, so I didn't eat a lot of it. Sausages were very tasty. This place really gives me memories of my childhood, and other memories.
