   Went for some dinner and drinks with a friend. Wasn't expecting the location though very nice inside. The meal was excellent and the drinks were unique. It looks to be a local hangout for Googlers and I can see why. Nice spot that I will come back to again.

   The service was very good. Beginning at the door walking through, and being greeted by a host who attended to us promptly. We were seated where we requested outdoors looking at the pool. The wait people were attentive, and well trained in service. The ambience was not good considering how delicious the food was. The appearance of the hotel in general is not appealing. It seemed that the inside of the restaurant had a lot more decor, and color. We might go there again mainly because the food is so good.

   The ambience is elegantly modern, with a relaxed, open vibe. The background music was perfect. We ordered several appetizers with our friends as shareable plates, plus a few dinner plates. Everything was delicious. The cocktails were amazing. Service was just perfect. We live in Mountain View area so definitely going in our favorite restaurants rotation.

   Food was incredible. Lots of options to make vegetarian. Service was a little disjointed, but friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. You feel like you’re at a spa!

    The restaurant is not very large, so if you are next to a loud group, you lose your quiet romantic setting. We were the loud group. The cocktails are good/strong, the food is beautifully plated and tasty. Great mix of options. Favorites are the croquettes, fig sandwich, butter lettuce salad (maybe ask to go lighter on the dressing). We didn't have anything we didn't enjoy. The desserts also are all outstanding. Sharing dishes is the way to go. Yes, it's pricey, but right now, everything is. Our waters never hit empty. Service was professional and helpful. In the lobby they host group parties, but it is very separate from the dining area, so we never heard them even though they were quite loud. Options to sit outside with heat lamps.

    Enjoyed the Spanish and Latin American aspect to the food - the serrano ham, chicken croquettes, and squid ink pasta were all outstanding.

    The steak was a delicacy. Well cooked, moist, and the sauce and greens gave it extra taste. The octopus and trout were amazing as well.

    I love emerald hour for ambience, service and I used to love the menu. The menu has changed significantly and has very limited Options for a vegetarian. There is only 1 vegetarian option available as a main, the fig tam melt, which is great, but it’s not savory. They used to have a mushroom burger which was excellent but that’s not available anymore. Sadly I won’t be back till I know I’ll have more options. That said service and drinks were excellent! Whatever we ordered was good too, yet only the crudo was memorable. Good luck!

    It was my first visit to Emerald Hour last night. My friends and I wanted an outdoor space to have drinks and dinner at, have it be lively enough but also not loud. Have a good meal and cocktails. Happy to report that was the experience, AND attentive without being too much staff.

    Great food and service, we loved it!! The only consideration is there are a lot of hard surfaces on the interior, which makes it a rather noisy as conversation bounce from nearby table to us.

    The menu descriptions are a bit too vague so if you have any food allergies you may want to double check to make sure the dish you order doesn’t have it. Main thing I would recommend here is the chill ambiance. Seemed to have a large wine selection, but we just ordered cocktails, which were just okay. Thankfully the entrees were tasty (other than the fact we found paper in the burger) but the small plates were underwhelming.

    Due to the COVID pandemic, there was only one restaurant open and a small kitchen. We ordered three appetizers and bread. The bread was the highlight of the food. Everything else was mediocre without a lot of flavor. The service was great and they were very friendly and welcoming. This may just be an interim issue.
