    Excellent food and ambience. The sharables was a fun format, the goat empanadas were awesome with the lime dipping sauce, the chicken skewers very tasty and the disco fires were so unique I would get them every time! The avocado dip with plantains were tasty. The pork shank fell off the bone is was so expertly cooked. I will definitely return on a future visit to Sunnyvale.

    The food was too flavorful - there were so many Asian cuisines combined in a single dish that the dishes had an identity crises. Our server took our order and then never checked up on us - until the end, to give us our check. The other staff brought waters and bused our table. Even the manager came by to check on us. When told we hadn’t seen our server in a bit, he took it upon himself to grab us dessert menus. This wasn’t a situation where the restaurant was ironing out their soft opening issues - our server was just really bad. Decor was superb. Restaurant and hotel are designed like a high end Napa Valley winery.

    Food was average for the price. Service was slow for the amount of staff that was there. Four hosts (awkwardly standing around when we were checking in), 5-6 servers and runners right by where we were sitting mostly chatting our entire meal. Server barely came by. Would not return.

    Food was great. Lovely decor and location. Services during Friday lunch period left a lot to be desired, especially when we were there for close to three hours not by choice but because of the slow services and lack of attentiveness without even the tiniest of acknowledgment of the inconvenience. It took a long time to get our server to take our order. And it took another lifetime for the table to be cleared, then another very long time to get a dessert menu to see, only to find out the Sticky Toffee Plantain Cake wasn’t available. Side note: the over-usage of herbs as garnishes was interesting.

    The food was unexpected and delicious. You can tell the chef is curious and confident. The place feels like Anthropologie designed it. Lovely.

    Great new dining option. The interior of the restaurant has a very nice vibe, casual but still classy, The branzino dish was excellent. The only criticism was that the wine pours were the smallest I’ve ever experienced. Overall a great experience!

    We were excited to try this new place, we have a future rez but I think we're going to cancel. 1) Service was spotty and not very good, same server attended the table 4 times before he came to us once 2) The place is called Goat but I have to say the emphasis on Goat (meat, cheeses, and other) on a lot of the idshes is put off, for that reason we will not return. 3) I know CA is an expensive state but dining for 3 of us, including a teenager should not have cost $200.
