    Dessert menu
    Jeremy M.

    Yes, this place is in a hotel and the initial front entrance feels a bit off but the food was delightful. The servers were super helpful in giving options for food recommendations and drink pairings too. I came here to celebrate a special occasion and they did not disappoint with congratulating me and making me feel welcomed. I'd say the tom kha mussels were the most delicious but we definitely could have used more bread. Unfortunately they said that if we wanted more bread, we'd have to buy another serving. That was a huge bummer. Other than that, I would say I would put all the food at a 4/5 in flavor and 3/5 to account for costs. All said, I'd come back to try new menu options when given the chance .

    Genuinely one of the best meals I've ever had in my entire life. The California bread service with the garlic butter was unreal. Just delicate, beautiful flavors. I also had the pasta allá gricia and it was superb. Gorgeous peas just absolutely beautiful summer flavors that reminded me of my childhood eating peas from my grandfather's garden. The pasta was perfectly cooked. I can't overstate how good this food was. I'm so happy. Thank you to whomever made this food. You're a beautiful person and a legend.

    Food is pretty good with lots of shareable options. My pasta plate was pretty good, with good textures and flavors. I really liked some of the appetizers, though the liver mousse and mussels were a bit gamey for my taste. The presentation of the dishes was quite photogenic. Service was fantastic, and the interior feels pretty fancy, but nothing stood out particularly. Process are reasonable. What I really enjoyed was how easy it was to make a reservation.

    Chicken Adobo

    Signature old-fashioned was great, I have never seen branded ice before. The restaurant should just get a 10 out of 10 just for that. It has to be a reflection of their Michelin star chef. The chicken adobo is as good as little any little corner spot (iykyk). Bedded into a great sauce, the adobo is sweet, smoky and hearty all at the same time cook to perfection. I don't think that you can go wrong with making this selection. Smash burger was a solid selection, but it wasn't as good as the chicken adobo. Next time we'll make sure to explore more the drink menu and also some of the other items on the food menu.

    Ok I was so surprised by this spot. We went here after several drinks at sports page bar across the street to have a bite to eat. They have a beautiful restaurant that's part of the Shashi hotel. They have several specialty cocktails and flights to enjoy. I enjoyed the bolognese This would be a great date night spot, as they also have a piano in the back. Gorgeous bathrooms too

    Tried this place for dinner! Nice cozy ambience, reasonable service! Didnt have that many vegetarian options! Food was quite bland! No chili flakes nor French fries on the menu or in the kitchen! Online menu is outdated! Please check with the server on exact details! Wait can be longer. Didnt have salt pepper on the table as default setup. Kids pasta / noodles were quite bland! Veg burger and the choco cake was the highlight hence the 2 stars ! Def area of improvement.

    We were guests at the hotel and decided to have dinner at Broma. Excellent food and service in a modern and relaxing vibe. We ordered the beet salad, bread basket, skirt steak, tom kha mussels, and mushroom risotto. All the plates were presented very well and tasted absolutely delicious. Our server, James K, was also wonderful. James was attentive and anticipated our needs in a timely manner. We would come back.

    Another unforgettable visit to Broma! Two dishes were extraordinary today: - charred broccoli gnudi: the char is so pleasantly strong that it made my head spin. I've no idea what techniques they use to make gnudi with broccoli but yet so smooth. - lemon cheesecake: the sauce had a delicate balance of acid + bitter to it and made every bite irresistible. If you look at photos in my previous reviews you'll notice an older version of the cheesecake, which was also fantastic, but they just keep innovating and improving. One thing I didn't like today was the eel barbocoa. The skin was impossible to cut through and very chewy. I felt the idea might've worked if they made it bite-sized. Flesh texture and Overall flavor was great, though.

    The food here is tasty, but WAY too small and expensive for what it is. I came here with a group last night and everything on the menu sounded delicious, but we all had to go out to eat somewhere else afterwards because all of us were starving when we left. I ordered the Day Boat Scallop Crudo which was very delicious, but about two tablespoons of food at most. The majority of the bowl is just a foam garnish. Even for a high end restaurant, $26 for what arrived on my plate is preposterous. They also advertise this as "shared plates", but there is no way to share many of these dishes because they are so tiny. All of the staff members were wonderful, but I won't be back because of the value.

    Tried Broma since I was staying at Shashi hotel and they gave a meal credit. The service was excellent and I hate only giving it 3 stars but the food was just not our taste. Broma is set as Spanish tapas so we had the hamachi crudo small plate which was our favorite plate, though very spicy! We also had the hand formed Cavatelli (large plate) which we didn't like. It didn't have any flavor and we couldn't finish it despite us splitting the dish. For dessert, we had the salted caramel chocolate tart which was good but super rich, thank goodness we split that! We also ordered the flan but it tasted really weird and too strong of orange so we couldn't take more than 2 bites each. All in all, I really appreciate the service and they were really accommodating when they saw we weren't liking the dishes. But I probably won't be back to Broma.

    Nice comfortable outdoor space that is pup friendly. Service was meh, took forever to get them to bring us our check - maybe because we were sitting outside vs inside. Food was decent, a tad pricy, drinks were decent. Feels more like a place for work related event vs intimate friends gathering. Total came to approx $80/person.

    Hamachi Crudo (Seasonal)
    Sergio P.

    Broma was in my list for quite a while even before we moved to Mountain View but never got around to make so once we became locals we decided it was a must to go and try Broma. We went in around 5:30pm and the place not that busy there were people from the hotel Broma is located at and because there was a concert at Shoreline that day. We started by ordering a Paloma for my wife and a Cantarito. They were both really good basically the Cantarito is a Paloma but swagged out. For appetizers we ordered their Hamachi Crudo and their Tom Kha Mussels. The Hamachi Crudo which was seasonal had stone fruits, cucumbers, cantaloupe, herbs and chili oil but it was lacking salt & acid so the flavors didn't really tie together or came forward together. Tom Kha Mussels were good on flavor basically tased like a seafood Tom Kha soup but the mussels were cold so the broth felt fattier since the fats coagulated and the mussels were chewy, once again I don't mind my food cold I am used to it but my wife need her food at least warm but ideally hot. For our entree we just shared their Skirt Steak plate which is Vietnamese influenced. The stake was cooked medium rare but once again it was a bit cold very tasty and very tender but it was not warm so as we ate the meat became harder to chew. Overall we liked the ambiance, the hotel is beautiful and their outdoor sitting is beautiful also, their drinks were great I feel like that's what saved the experience because I really didn't feel like complaint about the food to them because we are going to give them another try sometime in the future. The prices are a bit steep since the bar and the restaurant are inside of a boutique hotel called the Shashi located right next to Google HQ. For 2 rounds of drinks (4 total), 2 appetizers and 1 entree it was around $180-$200 with tip included. We will give them a try again since their two hot dishes were cold and I will update this review.

    I came here with a group of friends to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and made a reservation online through their website. Broma is located on the first floor of a hotel and there was plenty of street parking, as well as parking inside the structure. I was excited to try out Broma because I read that the chef is Michelin-starred and the food prices were reasonable considering the caliber of experience. To share, we ordered pan con tomate, spicy arbol shrimp, and pitchers of the lychee sangria. My absolute favorite dish was the pan con tomate. The combination of the tart tomato, smooth olive oil, and fattiness from the bacon was absolute perfection! So so soooooo delicious and simple! For our entrees, my boyfriend and I decided to just go with the tapas and ordered the chicken croquetas and serrano charcuterie board, which were both solid. We also got the fideua negra, similar to a paella, to share with everyone and I thought this was just okay. The pasta/grain had a texture I didn't expect - it was so chewy that it tasted undercooked. The service was amazing and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I had brought a cake and they offered to put it in the fridge for us to keep chilled. All in all, nice spot for tapas and delicious drinks! They have a full bar but I was perfectly content with my lychee sangria.

Even with a baby in tow, the staff was super friendly and accommodating, bringing hot water super quickly for warming a bottle and carefully selecting seating that accommodated our stroller. The menu is relatively small, but also very diverse with a variety of protein options and some vegetarian selections. Since it's served tapas/family style, you get to try a ton of the menu. Everything we had was delicious and very balanced. Even with a super low spice tolerance, the heat in all the dishes was not just tolerable, but even delicious. I think the dish I'd most recommend is the pork shank. Everything about it was super surprising and incredibly delicious. It literally fell off the bone and had a ton of texture with a melty, tender inside and a sticky, crunchy exterior. I would eat just this for a whole meal! Despite my own dislike for goat, even the goat empanadas were good and managed to convince me I don't actually hate all goat meat! Much like the menu, the ambiance is perfectly balanced, perfect for a romantic date night, a business meeting and even for a friend/family dinner. I'd highly recommend Valley Goat for anyone, for any occasion.

Yesterday we were celebrating my husband's birthday at Valley Goat, right from the get-go, the service seemed off. I called in the evening to check what time would last call be at. Our reservation was at 9:30pm and we wanted to make sure all our guests are able to order in time. The person on call first mentioned 9:30 which was odd because when I checked they were taking reservations for 9:45pm as well so I was like?? Anyway, hearing that I moved our reservation for 9pm since the whole party was coming to the restaurant after work on a weekday. We were running late and called the restaurant to inform them we were reaching by 9:15pm Exactly at 9:15 pm we get a rude call from the host asking us to confirm the EXACT time(to which we said we were right around the corner and would be there in 2min) and that the goat empanadas we specifically requested for may be gone in the next two minutes and that the restaurant shuts at 10pm and we would have to stop dining by then. Which was strange because what about the 9:45 pm reservations? You kick those people out in 15 min? Anyway there is NO acknowledgement of my husband's birthday the whole night, no free dessert not even a candle on the dessert. The server is in a hurry to take away our plates while we are working on them. The server was also not warm. By far, the WORST experience at this high end restaurant we have experienced. I'm not sure if the management and staff have changed but this is not how disappointing I expected my husband's birthday to be. If you do not want to serve customers late in the night maybe don't take reservations past 8:30pm? I understand staff wants to go home but it is their responsibility to take care of their customers and honor late reservations just the way they honor any other reservations. I highly doubt we will be coming back.

I don't want to write about both restaurants on the Flowers page but I think it's worth calling out that the service / hospitality and craftsmanship for both food and drink in both restaurants are standout. For drinks, we ordered the Flowers Old Fashioned and Cantarito. For the Cantarito, I loved the tart passion fruit with the slight carbonation of the grapefruit soda--this was definitely my kind of drink! For food, we shared everything: tuna wonton tacos, prawn cigars, duck with risotto, scallops, and brussel sprouts. This was the perfect amount of food, as we left full and satisfied but not stuffed. The tuna wonton tacos had a good amount of tuna, and had a such a punch of (well-balanced) flavors; I loved the touch of heat. The duck was also incredibly tender with a crispy outside, and I think the natural fattiness / oiliness of the duck paired well with the relatively sharp, Parmesan flavor of the risotto. I also enjoyed the flavors and sauces with the other dishes but those two aforementioned were my favorite. Lastly, the bread pudding for dessert was excellent! It was the perfect size to share, and I loved the various crunchy "garnishes", from the graham cracker crumbs to the caramelized sugar piece and the little chocolate balls. Will definitely come back again to try more of the menu!

My husband ordered the duck and that was a bit disappointing. They hadn't rendered the fat properly so the skin was chewy rather than crisp. The duck was slightly on the tough side. On a very positive note, the wines are market price rather than the large markup you see in most restaurants. The chocolate cake was overly dense. Since it was a birthday celebration they also brought out little chocolate cream filled cups that were delicious. We will definitely return.

I have a severe tree nut allergy. Before ordering, I informed our server of my allergy and asked him to identify every dish that contained nuts so I could safely participate in our family-style business dinner. He assured me he would take care of it and specifically pointed out one dish that contained hazelnuts. Later, a golden beet dish was served to the table with no mention that it contained cashews. After taking a few bites, my tongue immediately began tingling. When I asked if the dish contained nuts, our server had to go back to the kitchen to check. He returned and explained that the dish did, in fact, contain cashews and that he didn't know they had recently been added to the recipe. This is exactly the type of mistake allergy protocols are supposed to prevent. Even after it was confirmed that the dish had triggered an allergic reaction, the plate remained on our table until I specifically asked for it to be removed. At the time, I was over six months PREGNANT and traveling alone for work. I had to take Benadryl, leave my business dinner early, miss the remainder of the evening with my colleagues, and spent much of the night vomiting, experiencing gastrointestinal distress, and recovering before a full day of meetings the next morning. I recognize that ingredient changes happen. What is unacceptable is failing to communicate those changes to the staff responsible for protecting guests with serious allergies. The next day, I immediately sent a detailed email to the restaurant's management and owner explaining what happened and asking what changes they planned to make to prevent this from happening to someone else. I never received a response even 2 months later. To make matters worse, I later learned they only removed the charge for the single dish that caused the allergic reaction, despite the significant impact the incident had on my evening, as well as my colleagues, and the obvious seriousness of the situation. I'm incredibly fortunate that my reaction did not progress to anaphylaxis. Another guest may not be so lucky. If you or someone you're dining with has a serious food allergy, I would think very carefully before eating here. A restaurant can make mistakes, but how it responds afterward (or shall I say lack of response) says just as much about its commitment to guest safety; and in my experience, that response was deeply disappointing.

    Final Thoughts: 4.20/5.0…read more Contrary to many other opinions, I personally really like brunch. It really is more for the vibes and spending time with my friends and family versus the food sometimes. For some reason, this place has always been on my list of to-go brunch places, but I've just never had the chance to go here. After our matcha run, my friend and I decided to go here for brunch. It was around a 45 minute wait today. On their Yelp, appears to be quite the quaint place to to get food and relax. Will definitely be a 4 star for me. Food: Jumbo Crab Bene with seasonal fruit: 4.0/5 This is their fresh lump crab with sliced avocado, whole grain mustard and poached eggs stacked on lightly toasted English muffins, topped with scratch made Hollandaise sauce and garnished with locally sourced microgreens. This is served with either house potatoes or seasonal fruits. The lump crab is actually fresh crab I believe. There are some pieces of the shell that were still in there. I'm honestly not even mad because that's a pretty big indicator that it's the fresh crab meat picked out. The egg is nicely poached with a runny yolk. Hollandaise sauce is quite nice and light. The Dijon mustard was quite strong for me and did overwhelm some of the other flavors on the plate. It does add a nice flavor, but occasionally, it was too much. For the English muffin, it was quite thick, so it felt kind of dry. It's noted to be slightly toasted, but its somewhat hard to tell with the mustard, crab meat, and poached egg on top, which are mainly wet items. Avocado is perfectly ripe. I'm not an avocado person, but this one did it just right for me. The fruits came with blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, apples, cantaloupe, and honeydew. Very refreshing and needed after the savory foods. Philly Steak Sandwich with garlic fries: 4.0/5 This sandwich has grilled steak with peppers, onions, and mushrooms topped with provolone cheese on a toasted baguette with mayo and a light teriyaki drizzle. Will come with either a side of house salad or garlic fries. I really liked how they caramelized the onions and peppers inside of this. There's that additional sweetness from it that works well with the steak and cheese. Very tender meat. The bread also seemed kind of big and just almost dry too. Not too big of a concern given the amount of filling that they give. My friend choose the garlic fries and those were amazing. The cut is just right and the crisp on the outside is just so good. You can taste the garlic, but I could do with even more garlic to it. --------- Quality: Fresh Something I really like is that they use real crab in their jumbo crab bene. You can actually feel the tiny pieces of the shell in it, which usually means its fresh. The food did take a second to come out, but both were piping hot. My friends onions and veggies were quite caramelized, which is nice. Brings out a lot of the flavor component in the sandwich. The fries were actually so good too. I wanted the side of garli fries, but it was convenient that his came with it. Super crispy, nice size, flavor is good. May need a little more fresh garlic, but overall, really good. Price: Reasonable Prices seem reasonable for what they give. Initially, it does lean more on the expensive side, but their portion sizes are larger than your average brunch place. Prices will range from between $18 to $24, with a few outliers. Service: Very sweet workers Very nice service here. Everyone was sweet, greeted us, and checked on us. Our food did take a little longer than some others around us. For us, it was around a 25-30 minute wait after ordering our food. Even the table next to us that were seated after got their food first. The food did come out fresh, so I'm not really complaining. They did let us know and give us little updates about our wait and food though. Ambiance: Classic Brunch Spot The space is nice and looks slightly cramped inside. It was just my friend and I and they gave us a seat right in the corner next to the window. Honestly, probably the best spot for me and the person who seated us also noted that it was his favorite spot in the house. I didn't see much beyond from what was seen by the door. The space looks fairly small, but fit a decent amount of tables with walking space in between still. Always love the open kitchen. It's fun to watch what happens behind the scenes. Location/Parking: Large space It's located right on Saratoga Avenue. There is a Lucky grocery store here, so there is a lot of parking around. We really didn't have any concerns finding a space at all.

    Month of July: Thai fusion! I've been meaning to come here…read morefor so long and have been patiently waiting for a monthly menu that catches my eye. This july it was thai! The restaurant is pretty small inside, and has 2 seating times: 530 and 8. It's a prix fixe menu but you also have some options to add to it. Larb Bibim Guksu: cold noodle dish that had szechuan ground lamb , shiso, and heirloom tomatoes - made for such a refreshing start to the meal. Fishcake tom yum: This was my absolute favorite dish. The cabbage wrapped fish was tender and juicy and the broth was so incredibly flavorful. I loved this dish, no notes Pork jowl: The pork was good, but I think compared to the other dishes on the menu, the least inventive and new. Solid dish but creativity wise I wasn't particularly sold. Ecuadorian shrimp (add on): I love some shrimp! the red curry sauce on these shrimp was super yum and it was nice that they gave you a small finger towel/wipe for afterwards Pandan Coconut Bingsu: This was an amazing dessert!!!! I am not a dessert person whatsoever but this really did it. There was a pandan bingsu (v finely shaved ice) with coconut foam on top. There was red bean also at the bottom center of the ice. The dish felt incredibly balanced and light. Every bite felt like a cloud that disappeared on your tongue. 10/10 dessert Overall it was a great experience and I'm incredibly happy with the creativity of the menu and the execution. Would love to come back to try another menu :)

    I've been to OCK a number of times over the years and always enjoyed the inventive dishes, the…read morecocktails and well-stocked bar, knowledgeable bartenders, and helpful servers. Just never got around to working a review before. Went early on a Saturday evening recently and was surprised to not have to wait. We split a Bibb lettuce salad that was simple, refreshing and perfect. A tiny pea fritter was the very definition of a small bite, and while it wasn't what I expected, it was crisp and tender. Grilled artichoke was one of the best I have ever had. (Just wish they had been explicit on the menu that it was a half a grilled artichoke). Cocktails were up to their usual high standard -- rye Manhattan for the BF and clarified milk punch for me. I don't get out much these days and I rarely drink alcohol, but is $20 a lot for a cocktail? Or is that normal now? They were great though. BF got the ribeye with morels, which was perfectly cooked and unbelievably tender. I had the burger, which was more exciting than it sounds, dressed with a wild combo of veggies, cheese and bacon while still managing to be harmonious and fresh tasting. Side of fries were crisp and tasty, though not as perfectly hot as I would ideally wish. Because the burger was late coming out, or server (Bernardo I think?) comped us an amazing little dish of vanilla soft serve ice cream with olive oil and sea salt, along with the butterscotch pudding that we ordered. The pudding didn't have the strong butterscotch flavor that I hoped for, but the vanilla ice cream stole the dessert show. OCK isn't a place I can afford often, but I still really like it. I appreciate the creativity of the dishes, the quality ingredients, and the bar. And the old-school shopping center vibe of the Pruneyard is low key festive and garden-like. The interior of the restaurant is kind of standard-industrial modern, but nicely so. Oh, and their glassware is super nice.

    Staff are either untrained or making stuff up to tell a story. I asked about the foie gras and how…read moreit's sourced and they told me it was locally sourced which is highly illegal as foie gras bans the production of foie gras and their unethical means in the state of California. Huge legal issue. The wait isn't too bad and the restaurant is semi clean. Loco moco is modernized and is tasty, not too heavy. Everything else we ordered were just below average or okay at best, nothing too special.
