   For a hotel restaurant, the food at Secco is very good. The service was good. We have dined there now twice before going to the theater. The first time, we were a little put off as waiter would not provide us with separate checks. This time, he did and that is very helpful to us. The staff also came by a couple of times to refill water or tea; much appreciated.

   Great place to eat before a show at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts. Walking distance. Good brunch menu and courteous staff. Excellent bar area

   The food was fine, but nothing exceptional. Same with the service. They got one of our orders wrong, but corrected it quickly. Very convenient if you're seeing a show at the San Jose Performing Arts Center!

   We ate here before a show. After fighting Bay Area traffic, it was nice to have a friendly greeting at the lobby bar for a pre-dinner drink. We moved tot he dining area for our reservation. They seemed a bit short staffed, but the two folks working the room were right on top of everything. I had the fish tacos, which were very good. The fish was crisp, the tortillas didn't fall apart, the sauce was flavorful. My husband had the tortellini alfredo. It was disappointing. The sauce was so thin it was like milk. We would go back again. There are several options on the menu that sound good, but he'd skip the pasta next time.

   My granddaughter and I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Secco. The place was very quiet and sometimes we were alone. Our sever, Nancy, was excellent and took very good care of us. The burrata appetizer, the fish tacos, and the beet salad were all delicious as was the tirmitsu. I would certainly eat at Secco again.

   Food was good. Service was horrible! Waiter was inattentive, rude and plopped the plates down instead of placing in front of each of us. This hotel needs to send it's employees to how to be nice training.

   Was there during NVIDIA GTC and they only offered a buffet for $52. Ran out of fish, ran out of ravoli, all we got was chicken, bread, and some veggie. We didn't bother to wait around for the refill. The value of the buffet based on the food is at most $20
