Went on a Saturday night with a reservation. Definitely not the A-team working. The restaurant was mostly empty - and freezing cold - and it still took quite a while to get a waiter to take a drink and food order. Beer was good and came out quick. Food was mostly bad to mediocre: Pretzel - burned Beer-cheese sauce - okay, more beer than cheese in flavor Buffalo wings - cold, and when we told them, the server acted like it was huge hassle to deal with Fish and chips - fish wasn't bad, but fries were cold Gumbo - solid, not the best I've had, but pretty good Service was awful. Between wait time, food that was cold, and a total indifference to us as customers, we definitely won't be going back. It's a pity that it was as bad as it was since I'm an Executive Assistant in the area and was trying it to consider for events and catering and was hoping it'd be a good option for that, but there's no way I'd trust them to do a good job for our events after this showing. Absolutely do not recommend.

Used a Groupon discount for two flights and an appetizer. Server poured ten different brews and we were off to the races! Hard not to find something you like a lot among ten beers and ales. Service attentive but not intrusive. Food came quickly and was hot. This doesn't happen all the time at brewpubs. Altogether, our party of four was happy and will recommend Faultline to friends.

Excellent and attentive service from the time your enter till you leave. Very courteous and pleasant service. One would be well advised to not take along any valuables and laptops that you may want to leave in the car. There are warning notices in the car park to not leave valuables in your car.

From LA, the place was a shot in the dark. We were surprised that it was so good. Was a bit worried they are closing for a week for a remodel. If we visit Santa Clara again would love to check out the Faultline.

Would recommend to friends but would advise of vegetarian option. They only have one entree, Gumbo. They have salads, a portobello burger and three options of appetizer. Very nice place so I hope more options on their menu are available in the future.

Reserved a table for five for a special occasion at lunch. Was sat at a small high-top table in the bar. Okay for four, not five. Couldn’t fit all of the food on the table. Plus, we were seated next to a party of 26. As soon as we walked in, the server said we needed to order immediately to get ahead of the big table. While I appreciate the good intention, it didn’t allow us time to review the menu. I played it safe with an ok grilled chicken sandwich. We made the best of it. Advice - don’t stuff too many guests at a table or rush them. Not a good experience.

It would be great if Faultline would close the curtains between the bar and the rest of the restaurant. Bar area is too noisy for good dinner experience. I’m tired of yelling over the din, and every third sentence being, ‘What?” Or “Say that again.” Food great, service great, of course beer great. Get the Ahi. Best quality of fish I’ve had in the valley.

This place has plenty of potential, some really good aspects, but terrible service and lack of effort on less hyped dishes brings it down. First off the beer flights and pretzel/beer cheese and artichoke bread apps were the highlights. Afterwards we opted for a small Caesar salad with prawns (4) and the grilled cheese/soup/garden salad combo. The salad came as a large (not what was ordered) and was just OK, while the sandwich combo featured a grilled cheese sandwich that looked and tasted a lot like white bread version my mom used to make for me as a six-year-old — smashed thin. The garden salad was scrawny for the $15 price. We also ordered two more beers, which came too much later and were ultimately comped. The red light was when the waitress took our order without writing it down and then had us repeat it twice. More effort on service and effort on smaller dishes can make a difference, but until then, this place is just OK.

Nothing special, should have stayed in the bar, the dining area was a bit all over the place, our server was distracted with the huge party and I have no idea why they kept seating the section of the party was consuming his whole night.. I mentioned it was our friends birthday that we were celebrating and nothing... we did like the beer and the food was decent but not somewhere I’d go again. Kids were running around and some where even barefoot.... I can say the Bar staff was great! We sat at the bar till our dinner reservation and wish we never left the bar. Francisco R was amazing at suggesting drinks and helping us out!

Restaurant was beautiful but menu didn't really have a great selection. Was looking for a chicken entree and you only have Salmon, steak, and seafood Gumbo. It was for the prices not worth it. I would have chosen another restaurant for lunch. Dinner maybe ok but not for lunch.

This restaurant has a fun atmosphere, decorated with an outdoor ambiance inside the building. (I’m a sucker for this type of decorating.) The food was good — I had fish tacos and my friend had fish and chips. The price was a little high but about as expected for this area.

Faultline delivers! I hadn’t been here in years but the cocktails, food and beer were all excellent. We started with two premium Manhattans. These could be improved with oversized ice cubes and premium cocktail cherries, never the les they were a good start. Our server, Bev, was great. She was attentive, got our drinks out and took our order quickly. We had the pot roast and half rack of babyback ribs. Both entries hit the spot and were very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back for a repeat of this visit.

This is a brewery themed restaurant, not a Michelin star restaurant. People who write reviews where they expect Manresa level cusine and service but at a brewery price point are ridiculous. The wait staff has always been friendly, timely and attentive. The food is better than one might expect. As an added bonus the "begging' ducks outside are hilarious. I've never been disappointed at Faultline, but I'm also not going in expecting a complex dinning experience with a sommelier. Good burgers, good pulled pork, great beer, with friendly staff. Always a great lunch stop when you're in the area.

The food was good given the price point and of course the beer was excellent. On Saturday (and probably Sunday) evenings it tends to be relatively quiet which is great for conversation. On weekday and especially Friday evening it can be quite energetic as it is a popular after work destination.

Met my cousin here for dinner (he was in town for an appointment) and had a great casual dinner - I had the spicy fish tacos and he has the chicken and sausage gumbo and we had a few (!) beers. The waiter was fabulous and I wasn't sure if I wanted one of the beers so he brought me a very small glass of it so I could taste - great service all-around. He was knowledgable about the food and the beers and it really helped in what we decided to eat and drink. We were not rushed and he came back a few times to check on us. The bar and restaurant were packed that evening but we still received fabulous service!

You get a lot of food - even the small plates are big enough for a good meal. Service was really good - there was a huge party next to us, our waiter was very apologetic at not being too attentive to us, but it was all good, we really didn't have to wait for things.

We went here with a group right when they opened on a Saturday night so it was low key and quiet. Based on the size I can imagine it could be louder during peak hours. It is a beautiful facility with many window seats facing a small body of water. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend the fish and chips with homemade potato chips not fries. This is the best fish and chips! I can't wait to take more friends there and try more dishes. They also brew their own beer and do double decker flights. Looking forward to trying those as well!
