    Bourbon sour
    Pip C.

    Amandine continues to be my favorite place for craft cocktails and conversation. The vibe is great! They play low-key African music a lot, which I love. I also love that they have a whole variety of mocktails to choose from. My date asked the bar tender for a citrus mocktail and they made him something delicious!! Even though I do drink alcohol, I ordered his mocktail next because it was so delightful. This is a great date night spot too!

    Amandine has incredible drinks. They're extremely creative and delicious! The staff is very friendly as well, other than the experience below. I just want to comment on how they handled things when their Internet shut down. We wanted to close out but were essentially held hostage lol... It was quite strange. After being held hostage for 20 minutes or so, they eventually figured out they could process payments offline. This experience was super strange and I hope they learn from it. Other than that, love the drinks and the cozy ambiance and easy parking!

    Drink Quality: N/A (Creative Cocktails) Service: ***** (Fantastic) Ambiance: **** (Romantic, Lively) Value: **** (Fair) Amandine Lounge is a fantastic spot for a romantic drink! Despite being crowded, we managed to snag seating in their cozy back room, which had a lovely atmosphere. It was a bit loud, but in a good, lively way that added to the buzz. The service was absolutely fantastic; my drink was a bit flat, and they proactively removed it from the bill even though I thought it wasn't bad at all. Their cocktails are truly creative and worth venturing into for something new and exciting.

    We checked out Amandine Lounge on a Friday night and decided to sit outside -- the patio had the kind of relaxed, laid-back vibe we were looking for. The string lights were a nice touch and made the space feel warm and inviting. It took a few minutes before anyone came by to greet us, but once our server arrived, I asked for some recommendations. I appreciated that he offered some quick recommendations based on my answers. It was a little overwhelming to follow all the names he listed. I asked him about the last drink recommendation and asked him where I could find that in the menu. I just decided to go with that because the list he shared was communicated too fast for me to remember. It took several minutes for our drinks to come out. It didn't seem too busy at the time. When they finally arrived, they were nicely presented and tasted good. I tried the Royal Basil, which had a light citrus flavor -- though I couldn't really taste the basil. Overall, Amandine Lounge has a nice ambiance and a great outdoor setup.

    Very cozy laid back vibe, intimate lighting. Staff were nice and good cocktails. We ordered postcard from UK and Moscow Mule, both really good.

    The place has craft cocktails, and it's open late. The front room has very swanky speakeasy decor. I tried one drink: 4.5/5: The Swashbuckler is good and boozy: Blended scotch, Laphroaig, Drambuie, Licor 43, Etrog citrus liqueur, Kina $18. On Saturday, they have live music 8-11 in a very intimate separate room. It has great acoustics; you don't get any of the noise from the bar.

    Pisco sour ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD

    Tucked discreetly in the heart of Los Altos is a cocktail haven that completely blew us away. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance was pure magic, moody lighting, curated music, and that unmistakable feeling you've stumbled into something special. Erwin, the manager, greeted us like VIPs. His presence is calm, confident, and intentional, clearly someone who takes pride in crafting an unforgettable guest experience. He set the tone for the night, and it only got better from there. Enter Kapono: bartender, mixologist, and lowkey cocktail whisperer. His creations were next-level, but the pisco sours? Hands down the most incredible we've ever had. Perfectly balanced, bright, frothy, silky, with just the right kiss of citrus and that velvety texture that lets you know it was made with serious skill. We were floored. Kapono didn't just serve drinks, he created moments. Every pour felt personal, like he was telling a story with each glass. This speakeasy is the kind of place you hesitate to tell too many people about... because it's just that good. But credit is due--Erwin and Kapono have made something truly special here. Already dreaming about our next round of pisco sours.

    Great ambiance and vibes at this little cocktail lounge. Still haven't been able to come by when there is music, but will definitely try again! The cocktails here are great, good mocktail options as well and great bartenders choices. The service here is super friendly and knowledgeable. Loved everyone's energy! Nice place for drinks and to bring friends!

    The cocktail was beautifully balanced, with a clean, layered flavor that opened up with every sip. Not too sweet, not too strong--just perfectly crafted. The citrus notes were bright, the finish smooth, and the presentation elegant. Definitely one of the most memorable drinks I've had in a long time

    Night in Oaxaca

    Decent cocktails, blatant fraud: The cocktails here are okay, fine for standard cocktails but nothing special for craft cocktails. The bad part is that they completely lied to me and ripped me off. Particularly Eric Z, apparently. I ordered 3 cocktails, each $18, and asked for the check to close out. The bartender was very weird and didn't present me with the bill beforehand but just took the card that was near me (which was fine, I was at the bar and ready to leave). I didn't see the charges at all. I don't normally worry about this; I often just give my card to close out. But he was clicking a bunch of stuff quickly and his sketchiness made me ask for an emailed receipt which I literally NEVER do. It just felt weird so I thought to do it. The receipt revealed that they charged me for one cocktail that wasn't even on the menu and was $21 instead of $18. I don't care about $3 but this is just weird and obviously wrong. I'm not confrontational (but I'd had 3 cocktails!) so I asked why I was charged for something not on the menu. The bartender said something like it was a special cocktail that's more expensive. I pointed to the menu and said I didn't order a special cocktail I ordered the Gran Negroni (Negroni is my favorite drink) and he said something to the effect of well I also didn't charge you for the soda water (I'd asked for sparkling water and he provided it in little glasses). I said I'm happy to pay for the soda water how much is it (I'm in from out of town so I would have wanted to take the remainder to my Airbnb, like I did last night) and he was like no no it's fine it's just the cocktail was more expensive and we changed the menu recently. Which cannot be true, because he didn't say the menu prices changed but tried to tell me that I'd ordered something special. Whether it's because he thought I was drunk (I wasn't) or stupid (I'm not) I'm not sure. But it obviously wasn't a mistake, since he doubled down on it and gave multiple nonsensical justifications for it. Here's everything I ordered and my receipt, along with pictures of all three cocktails. And my time-stamped venting texts shortly after the time stamp on the receipt. You can see a $21 cocktail doesn't even exist on the menu, and you can see I took a photo of every page of the cocktail menu. There's no such cocktail and no similar cocktail, and if you order the Gran Negroni you'll see it look just like my photo. Since that's what I ordered and what I received... I love negronis and know that's what I got (I also hate grappa, so it's an absurd accusation). So, take from this what you will. At least check your receipt. And avoid Eric Z. I'll never go back, of course.

    Kapono is the greatest bartender in the entire world. His drinks are so delicious and artistic! Everything is always amazing and perfectly crafted. GOAT.

We ordered cocktails "Flying Ace" and "Cielo Rosa", Forager Flatbread, and Roasted Beet Salad, and cheese plate. The cocktails were fun and inventive, but maybe a bit too complex for us. The Flying Ace was a smoky old fashioned type drink with a charred cinnamon stick. Maybe the wrong choice for a sunny afternoon outdoor venue. The Cielo Rosa, with mezcal and jalapeño has a lot going on as well. The forager had great mushroom flavor and loved the roasted garlic. The first bites were great- wish they could have kept the crust crispier for later bites. (Heated plate works well) The beet salad was really good.

The dishes I tried were just underwhelming and did not justify the price point, not even bakery. There is a strange mismatch between the location/ambiance and food. I mostly just stick to the coffee right now. Bonus point for getting to test robot delivery. :D

Unfortunately, we left regretting that decision. From the start, the experience felt unwelcoming when we were seated with our 3-year-old daughter. There was no single overtly disrespectful moment, but the overall tone and repeated small interactions made us feel like we were being judged for having a child with us. At one point, when our daughter accidentally dropped her fork while playing, the reaction we received came across as frustration, which added to that feeling. We understand not every restaurant is designed for young children, but Broma presents itself as a place for friends and family. Instead, we felt like we had to constantly manage and overcorrect normal toddler behavior, which created stress and took away from what should have been a special occasion. Because of that, we didn't feel comfortable raising concerns during the meal when the server checked in--we were more focused on getting through the experience without drawing additional attention. We were also offered an off-menu item without any mention of price. The menu we were given did not list the smash burger, so when I ordered a double, I had no context for the cost. The final price was a surprise, and we would have made a different decision with that information upfront. The food itself did not match the price point. The "smash burger" was not prepared in the style typically expected, and overall the meal felt underwhelming for the cost. Lastly, the billing was confusing. The paper receipt listed "gratuity," while the digital receipt labeled the same charge as a "service charge," making it unclear whether an additional tip was expected. That lack of clarity does not align with the level of transparency expected at this price point. We don't mind paying for a great experience, especially for meaningful occasions, but this visit did not meet that standard and ultimately left us regretting our choice to celebrate here.
