It was one line that formed for the full buffet. Would be better to break up the separate areas (carving station, omelet bar, other food) into different lines/areas of the restaurant.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe go here often for the SundayWe go here often for the Sunday Brunch...always good!

Evidently it must be Ordered for additional fee. The service was mostly good, but we had to ask for and then wait & wait for a refill on ice tea. Shouldn't have had to do that.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Easter Bunny DeliveredSurprisingly good Easter Brunch w/ plenty of raw veggies!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent for the group ofExcellent for the group of five of us including our 6 year old granddaughter. They have child friendly menus and give children the right amount of attention. The seafood dishes were all terrific. The nautical theme and exhibits were historically impressive for the adults and children alike.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food - my salmonExcellent food - my salmon was delicious!

Our server, Emily was great! She was very friendly and knowledgable of the menu and wine list. We enjoyed a great bottle of wine, nice fresh salad and two great entrees, blackened catfish and a almond crusted sole, both were cooked perfectly, vegetables were very fresh. All in all it was a great meal. We will be back.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThankfully the quality ofThankfully the quality of the service and food goes along with the rich tradition and ambience. Our group dinner was a gift to the newest generation of Cal students in our family (now 4 of them!). Hopefully this is a tradition that will last for futre generations.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AMUpon entering the restaurant,Upon entering the restaurant, I was seated immediately and was greeted by the waitress within two minutes. The beverage order was taken promptly (NOTE: notable beer section). I ordered the lunch special, which came out fresh and hot. Even for lunch, the Grotto serves bread. But this is no ordinary bread – perhaps the best sourdough bread in the Bay Area. The bread alone is worth coming back. In short: Food, Service and Ambiance were well above expectations. It was so good, that I recommended the Grotto to a business partner, which went there the same day for dinner, and made the same delightful experience. Parking is easy too. I will most certainly return with clients.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AM
