ARE WE IN SILICON VALLEY? 4.5…read more One might never know this restaurant exists, tucked away near a Google business park just off Highway 101. You could stumble upon it through Yelp (as we did), discover it while staying at the adjacent Treehouse Hotel, or simply hear about it through word of mouth. The parking situation is an interesting one. After turning into the driveway from Mathilda Avenue, you have two options: turn right for valet parking or left into the Google parking lot. There are plenty of spaces available, though parking there is technically at your own risk. The restaurant told us they had not heard of anyone being ticketed or towed. We first dined here shortly after it opened in 2025 and were immediately impressed by the beautiful grounds. The hotel's eco-conscious gift shop, housed in a glass greenhouse and featuring a colorful vintage VW Bug, is a charming touch. The short walk to the restaurant feels especially relaxing on a warm, sunny day. This has become one of our favorite places to bring friends or host girls' lunches. With three distinct seating options: the dining room, bar, and patio, there's an atmosphere to suit just about any occasion, whether you're dining as a couple or gathering with a larger group. I would recommend visiting during lunch or dinner service and skipping the in-between hours. During that time, only the bar area is open and the menu is more limited. To fully experience what Valley Goat has to offer, lunch or dinner is the way to go. Despite the name, the only goat dish on the menu at the time of this review is the Goat Empanadas. My friend was initially hesitant to order them, but David, our wonderful server, and I encouraged her to give them a try. She was glad she did. There was no gamey flavor whatsoever; the meat tasted more like beef, and the accompanying sauce was excellent. Over several visits, we've enjoyed everything we've ordered and are delighted to have a restaurant of this caliber in our Bay Area backyard. Chef and co-owner Stephanie Izard, winner of Season 4 of Top Chef and an Iron Chef title, owns a total of nine restaurants, primarily in the Chicago area, along with locations in Los Angeles and one at Orlando International Airport. Since we enjoy traveling for great food, we'll definitely be adding some of her other restaurants to our list.

This is part of a hotel, and I was initially drawn in by the beautiful atmosphere and stylish vibe…read more I came in around 8 PM expecting a nice dinner, but unfortunately the experience did not live up to expectations. The service was quite slow throughout the evening. We ordered the goat empanadas, wood-fired Mary's chicken, sprouted cauliflower, eggplant, and sticky pork shank. What surprised me most was how similar everything tasted. From the appetizers to the main dishes, the flavors seemed repetitive and lacked distinction. Each dish looked appealing, but none really stood out. Overall, the food felt uninspired, and I didn't get the sense that much care had gone into developing unique flavors for the menu. Given the many 5-star reviews, I was expecting much more and left feeling disappointed. The ambiance is lovely, but I would not return for the food. Don't be misled by the photos, they were far more impressive than the actual dining experience.

Overall, we stuck to the happy hour menu which had a few options including 4 cocktails ($11) and there were a few snack options at $6. I believe they had some deals on beer/wine but Im more into cocktails so I didnt pay too much attention to those offerings! The drinks (sangria, margarita, and delayed orgasm) were all delicious as were the snacks (naan bites & fries). While we didn't stray from the happy hour menu, Mortar & Pestle is connected to the Curry Up Now so they have a a huge menu to select from if youre feeling hungry. We did notice that the service was a little slow and it took a while to get a drink. We also felt slightly rushed by the staff. It almost felt like they wanted us to order more or leave.

Food We started with cocktails, the Oasis for me and my husband ordered the emerald palm paired it with scallops (only two) but the taste was phenomenal. Then we shared the tagliatelle, which is a pasta with lobster and a white wine sauce topped with parmagiano cheese. Followed by the 12 oz. NY strip steak and broccoli, cooked to perfection! We ended our meal with the loukoumades, 3 beignets balls topped with banana brulèe, a custard, and pecans also went with Annalisse's recommendation to add a scoop of vanilla gelato, and this made completed the evening. Ambiance Inside decor has a very modern and swanky vibe to it. It's has an open kitchen concept which I love. The music was great and the noise level is perfect, from large groups to date nights.

This was my third visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience…read more We made a reservation, arrived on time, and were seated. At that point, there were only two other small parties in the restaurant. We were initially seated directly next to a group that was clearly enjoying themselves and being somewhat lively. Since most of the restaurant was empty, we politely asked if we could sit elsewhere. We were moved to another small table, and then asked if we could have one of the empty booths instead. The server said he would check with the manager, but the manager declined, even though approximately 90% of the restaurant was empty. We then placed our order. My wife ordered the salmon, and I ordered the mussels, along with the beet and strawberry salad. When the salad arrived, my wife noticed there were no beets in it. We pointed this out to the server, who said he would speak with the manager. The manager eventually brought out a corrected salad. Shortly afterward, however, the server informed me that they were out of mussels. This was especially frustrating because the mussels were the main reason we chose this restaurant--we had enjoyed them on a previous visit and specifically came back for them. To make matters worse, about ten minutes later, two families with children were seated directly next to us, despite the restaurant still being largely empty. Given the abundance of available seating, it felt unnecessary and made the dining experience less enjoyable. Overall, the combination of the seating situation, ordering issues, and lack of accommodation left us disappointed with what had previously been a restaurant we enjoyed visiting.

Drinks - I felt like it tasted fine but not amazing. You can do milk replacement which I really appreciate. I won't order a drink if I came back. I ordered the scramble - You can pick your side. I thought the food was very American - not Asian fusion. The salad was drenched with dressing and the scramble was bland. The toast was very hard. I wonder if I ordered the wrong thing. Would come back since they got really good reviews and it was quite busy even on a Thursday. Can be challenging to find parking - I parked on the street. Wouldn't try coming on a weekend. Can't imagine how crazy this plaza is during the weekend.

Didn't need a reservation to sit, but I assume it's much more crowded on the weekends. Parking was fine. Ordered French toast, avocado toast with poached egg, carnitas Benedict, and Churro waffles. Honestly, everything was a bit average and lacking flavor. The churro waffles were by far the favorite and the best deal, price to taste-wise. Definitely get it if you're gonna try anything here.
