This place has a really nice atmosphere. The hotel looks modern and trendy, and the bar has many interesting cocktails to offer. A couple odd things - we were seated outside with a bench on one side. The bench was too low for the table, so I felt a bit like a child sitting lower than the people on the other side of the table and having to reach up to the table. The outdoor seating is also right next to the pool which was very much being used by hotel guests, and the rooms looked down at the seating area as well. I really enjoyed the food and drinks. The portions are small compared to standard American restaurants (which usually serve way too much), but I thought the plates were perfectly portioned for me. while it is definitely priced as a "treat" meal, it was a nice place to hang out and enjoy. Dorada - the fish was excellent, really crispy and delicious. The bulgur was also very flavorful with a nice little cucumber salad on top. Burger was very juicy, almost too juicy as the bun got pretty soggy. It comes with mashed potatoes which are very luxurious. Skirt steak - the server warned us that it does not come with any sides, so we were prepared that is was just the skirt steak. I am not sure why they wouldn't include something with it. read more

Verdict service is 5/5. Environment 5/5 Cocktails 5/5 too strong !!! You will get your money's worth. Outdoor seating very cold and windy even with heater 3/5 Dishes: the best are duck, steak and octopus 5/5 Other dishes are 3/5. Skip and duck mousse and bread in oil. Bread is stale and So dry! Portion: good for me, I am 100lbs. All other adults get your burger first before you come. Why you want to be here? Great place to chat! And watch hotel guests swimming. read more

This seems to be a new restaurant inside the Shashi Hotel. 4 star seems a bit over rated based on our experience but 3 star is also unfair. So here's what we like and not like: Like: 1. Parking is hassle free and it's inside a garage 2. Ambience is nice, not too crowded on Sunday evening. Outdoor seating with heat is available outside of the pool. Indoor seating is comfortable. 3. Menu is interesting and seems to change quite frequently. There are dishes you don't see much, especially vegetarian dishes. The Dorada fish was seared perfectly with skin crispy and meat fresh and soft, not a second degree overdone. The duck came from nice cuts and the pieces were done just right without any overcooking. Some pulled meat mixed with white rice added extra flavor and texture to the dish. 4. The best portion to price ratio are the dessert dishes. The only entrée that we think the size is satisfying to an adult is the burger. 5. Good bus service. We got non-stop water refill, very happy with that. Not like: 1. Because it's a restaurant inside the hotel, the clienteles can vary significantly. We've had a screaming baby at the back of the room the whole time, probably guests from the hotel. 2. The menu is too complicated to understand. For a moment I thought I got an non-English menu. 3. The price may be a tad too high compared to the portions. The portions are like kid meal size in most dishes. Also, a 20% tip is automatically added to the bill. Then tax is calculated on top, just so to be aware. read more

I'm a big fan of Spanish food, so I immediately reserved a visit when I saw a new one pop up. It's new, so not crowded yet. The staff were all friendly and the place is beautifully decorated. We went ala carte because what we wanted weren't on the fixed one. Liked: oysters, shishito peppers, duck mousse (a bit interesting with the strawberry jam, but I didn't hate it) Loved: hamachi crudo Could've done without: strip loin, green lentils Presentation is 10/10! Wasn't as blown away by the entrees unfortunately, but maybe the other ones are better. Overall still excited to see a new place pop up and will definitely come back in the future, but maybe just for drinks and snack. read more

The food is fantastic, and the service is good, they will be very actively serve you water, drinks and ask what you need, the only thing may be a little bit great is they will not be so active after your bill sent to you, plus the gratuity or service fee is mandatory to be 20%, so you really do not have a choice to have a say. The environment is great, too. It is in a hotel with swimming pool view, so pretty neat. read more

Made reservations for a nice work dinner and loved this place. The food was excellent, very reminiscent of tapas in Barcelona. The quality of the food was great. The octopus was wonderful which can usually be overdone. The ambiance was absolutely lovely. The service was excellent. Would absolutely recommend this for anyone coming in town for a dinner for anyone staying at the hotel or for a nice team dinner for work. read more

Broma - Pig ears - New American Near Me - Mountain View, California

It is very satisfying experience at this modern vibe restaurant. The food quality is fantastic and the service is attentive. I have to say I love the octopus and asparagus dish the most. The source and the mix of greens works so well with the asparagus. The octopus is cooked to perfect. The wagyu special is delicious but I can skip this if having tight budget. Love the food, and no need to wait in line of Terefonica any more. read more

Broma is a great dinner spot whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want somewhere fun to eat. If you're a picky eater like me, you're bound to find something here. The ambiance is fun, unique and it has cool vibes to it. All staff are very attentive to everyone at the table. They take time to explain things on the menu or answer any question you have. We got the prime rib and burger and it was magnificent. Appetizers we had gotten the croquettes and bread and olive oil. It's definitely a fun place that I would keep coming back to. Highly recommend to everyone to come check it out! read more

Delicious hidden tapas place in a classy hotel I didn't even know existed in the Googly part of Mountain View off of 101. Excellent service and cozy festive ambiance. Food: 4.75 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 3 (2 drinks per person and shared 5 starters, entree, dessert for $130 each including tip--with rising prices lately seems reasonable for the high quality) Opentableable: yes, with choice of indoor or outdoor seating which I always appreciate Return worthiness: yes! Eve award: perfectly cooked octopus Highlights: - Octopus: 2 long tentacles with perfect texture--springy when cut into but not rubbery and a delightful light char outside. 5 stars. - Croquettes: I expected mostly potato but was packed filled with meat and an excellent crunchy yet light exterior. 4.5 stars - Papas: boiled tender but not mooshy soft and covered in mojo verde. Sounded simple but a sleeper hit. 4.5 stars - Cocktails: 7 options and I tried Don't Call Me Shirley Templeton which was served up and complex flavors with rye and reposado melded together nicely. 4.5 stars - Clam with pork: bowl w tangy tomatoey broth with big chunks of pork which once you cut into them were very tender 4 stars - Olives: mix of types w orange thyme. 4 stars - Meatballs: dense meat in red sauce. Decent sized with 6 which was more than I expected. 4 stars - Chocolate mousse cake: liked the presentation with the rolled thin waffle cookie and textures with the tiny chocolate pellets. 4 stars - Wine: good selection by the glass. I had an extra delicious Sonoma pinot. - Atmosphere: lovely bar up front with long high tables. Past that a festive and cozy environment in the back with a fireplace and nutcrackers on the table. Also interior outdoor seating by the pool. - Staff: stellar. Everyone was on top of it, friendly, and helpful. Midlights: - Chef was talking to a table across from us for a while he seemed to know well. Heard he was from Michelin Starred Chez TJ and wish we could've spoken to him to pass along our compliments. Lowlights: - Tip included: I didn't realize this until I checked the itemized bill for something else. Would be good if they would call this out. Didn't know what to expect from this place since it had only a handful of reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I left with lifted spirits on a great dining high. Gave me all that I wanted for a night out and will be back. read more

I was surprised upon arrival to find Broma located inside the Shashi Hotel. Going to a hotel specifically to eat at their restaurant is a rather unfamiliar concept to me, especially in the suburbs. It's also near Google and Shoreline Amphitheater (beware of traffic congestion when there are concerts), but there was easy street parking. We were easily able to make a dinner reservation the night before for a party of four. The ambiance was cozy with the long wall fireplace and tasteful Christmas decorations; it's a great date night spot! We got cocktails from the bar called The Emerald Hour, including the G&T, signature old fashioned, and "smarter than your average pear." They were all a bit stronger but in the best way, as the other ingredients balanced the alcohol's bitterness well. Our waiter gave us solid recommendations, of which we ordered the croquetas de pollo e manchego (great crunchy outside with lots of chicken stuffing) and papas arrugadas (the mojo verde sauce was yummy). We also shared the rabbit country paté, oyster rockefeller (comes with 3 oysters so I requested to make it 4), Portuguese sardines (only came with 3 like the oysters, and I hoped the waiter would've told us this beforehand and asked if we wanted 4 as well), Mary's chicken fabada (chicken quarter was a little dry), alentejo pork cheek and clams, and green lentils and root vegetables. Highlights were the plump oysters and croquetas although I wouldn't say anything was particularly mind blowing. Overall, I enjoyed this yummy meal of elevated rustic tapas! read more

Our visit to Broma in Mountain View was an absolute delight! We ordered the croquettes, artichokes and spicy shrimp to start, all of which were delectable. The cocktails (Paloma and their spin on the Gin and Tonic called G&T, were spot on and perfectly refreshing for a warm day). Next up, we had salmon, bass, short ribs and chicken entrees, all of which were a testament to the rich, flavorful culinary traditions of Spain . The short ribs melted effortlessly in the mouth and the chicken was tender and expertly seasoned over a bed of squid ink pasta, showcasing the chefs' prowess with both simple and complex flavors. We finished the night with their delectable basque cheese cake. The flavors of the night were perfect with not a dish too salty or too sweet, enabling our palates to taste all the fine nuance and intention of the chef. The ambiance at Broma is both down-to-earth and elegant, making it a perfect spot for a casual yet sophisticated dining experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming, enhancing our meal with their attentive service. Never once did we feel unwelcome with a 4 year old and 1 year old, which unfortunately can be the case in some nicer establishments. For those looking to savor authentic Spanish cuisine with a modern twist, Broma is a must-visit in Mountain View. Their menu, inspired by the diverse regions of Spain and Portugal, makes every dish a culinary adventure worth experiencing. I loved Chef Gallagher at Chez TJ and while it's an entirely different cuisine and experience, he did not fail to impress. read more

Inside the Shashi hotel, the dining room was cozier, and more festive than some photos show. Nice decor, and a wonderful fireplace. The wait staff was tremendous! We really enjoyed the signature salad (butter lettuce, serrano ham, cashews, orange, sumac vinaigrette), bread plate, papas arrugadas (bathed in cilantro "mojo verde"). The meatballs were solid -- very good, not great. Crema catalana for desert was great. They had Italian truffles in specials for dinner (in risotto, or shaved on any dish you want) -- maybe next time. We'll definitely return. read more

Went here for dinner and it did not disappoint! Made a reservation for 7:00pm and the restaurant was not overly crowded for a Saturday night. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a nice place for dinner out with friends or a date night. You'll be able to have a nice conversation without having to compete with any loud music or chatter from other tables. The restaurant, which is part of The Shashi Hotel and connected to The Emerald Hour bar, is very modern and dim, with nice artwork all around. Service was great, we were checked up on all throughout dinner. Our waiter was very attentive and gave us a run down of menu recommendations once we got our menus which was very helpful. Looks like the menu changes often so there will always be something new to try. Croquetas de pollo e manchego (5/5) - great appetizer to start with a crispy bite, flavorful chicken, and hint of spice. The curtido on the bottom is a nice refreshing addition. Chorizo Octopus sausage (4/5) - enjoyed this more than I expected to. The sausage is juicy, flavorful, and not overly salty which made it easy to enjoy. Hamachi crudo (4/5) - I love hamachi, so I enjoyed this with the various sauces and tomatoes that went with the thick slices of fish. The puffed rice was a nice of crunch to the dish. Sherry braised pork shank (5/5) - Did not expect a whole pork shank, bone in and all! The pork was very juicy with plenty of meat to share plus the chimichurri was a great complement to the pork. The potatoes were soft, which went great with the cream sauce. Whole roasted dorada (4/5) - The fish was juicy but it was lacking a bit in flavor. For the price I would've expected a side of veggies or something to complement the dish. Basque cheesecake (5/5) - comes with berry jam and whipped cream. Not too sweet and perfect size to enjoy alone or share. read more

Simply disappointed that they automatically add a 20% tip of a party of 4. This really just means no real effort is made by the staff to earn it. Felt like we got mediocre service to be honest and still had to dish out 20%. As far the food goes. It was good and fresh. Everything kinda lacked a bit of flavor but that is subjective to our taste. I would not come back for this place. Simply because it was nothing to remember and there are better tapas places in the area. read more

We had a quick meal tonight - four dishes- all great. Place is nice, swanky, and in a modern silicon valley hotel. Filled with tech types and people enjoying themselves. A pool is on the patio.

3-3.5 stars but rounding down since their online menu prices are not updated (not sure why this seems to be an epidemic lately..), and they have an auto charge of 20% gratuity, even for takeout orders. Located in The Shashi Hotel, Broma was inspired by Michelin-starred Chef Jared Gallagher's travels through Spain and Portugal. They have an option for a 3-course prix fixe ($76/person) as well as an a la carte menu. It was about a 15 minute wait for my order placed at 5:45pm on a Friday. It was ready when I arrived, and I tried: -Croquetas de Pollo e Manchego (Curtido, Guajillo Chile, Jamon Iberico, $12, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xlS6-GVxXUkx6M8wjcGbrQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Solid croquetas, and I liked how crispy the exterior was. I'm not sure if the description from their online menu matched with the actual ingredients since I couldn't taste any chile or jamon iberico, but it was still good overall. -Schmitz Ranch Wagyu Cheeseburger (Scallion, Green Olive Aioli, Tomato, Little Gem, Truffle Manchego, Served w/Pomme Purée, $22, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ifigta-jjwLUwIq5DTDJzQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVX): Very good burger, and I liked how juicy the burger patty was. I'm not sure if all the ingredients quite worked together (the green oil aioli, scallion, and truffle manchego), and some bites of the burger were really salty, but it has a lot of potential. Although the pomme purée (fancy mashed potatoes) was delicious, smooth, and super creamy, I would have preferred french fries. -Summer Lavosh (Tahini, Tatziki, Herb Oil, $18, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BrsT9A2tIs2bgy-mtOuLZQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg): Although the online menu stated $18, I was charged $20 for this dish. The presentation of this dish was interesting- roasted vegetables (eggplant, carrot, red bell pepper, onion) were rolled up in a lavash wrap and then cut. You then dip the pieces into tatziki and herb oil. This was good, but some bites of the vegetables were also really salty. Aside from the salt, there wasn't much flavor, even from the herb oil. For the value, I would rather pay slightly more to order the burger versus this dish. Their staff was really friendly and helpful over the phone. I was planning on dining in at a later point; however, the incorrect pricing and 20% auto-gratuity are definitely deterrents. If I were to return, I'd want to check out their spanish octopus, hamachi crudo, and porcini mushroom & artichoke dip. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available. There are plenty of street parking spots, and I believe you may be able to park in the parking garage. read more

Hotel Dining There have been a smattering of modern luxury hotels opening on the Peninsula including the Ameswell, The Park James, Hotel Citrine, Nobu Hotel and now the Shashi Hotel As business and leisure travel slowly ramps up, these hotels may be preparing for an increase in visitors locally but also have covered their bases with new bars and restaurant offerings for locals We stopped by Broma, the newest restaurant at the Shashi Hotel.

A semi-disappointing return to Broma. The salad was decent. The issue was the lentil and polenta main course this visit, which has been stellar in the past. The presentation looked good. The issue was that the lentils and polenta were barely warm, like they had just been popped in the microwave. Unfortunately, the lentil flavor was completely lacking compared to the previous visit when they were freshly cooked and had that delicious smoked paprika flavor. So, I left there with a "bad taste in my mouth", let down over the drop in flavor quality. Now I will have to consider if I am going back or if this was a fluke. Dining partner had the whole fish, pricey at $55. For what the dinner cost, I can think of a few other places that never disappoint. They add 20% service to the check. read more

Quite nice place, with outstanding service and pleasant atmosphere inside modern hotel in Mountain View. Food is mostly Spanish/tapas with other European and South American influences. Expensive, but food is quite good, especially pulpo, and various appetizers/tapas. Enjoyed the company, service, and atmosphere more than the food, to be honest. Definitely worth checking out, nevertheless! read more

Stylish but with overly casual ambiance and service compared to the decidedly first tier pricing, Broma suffers from the current trend of restaurants exploring "how much will diners pay"? The upside of eating in a restaurant intent on breaking the price ceiling is that it will never be overly crowded and you won't feel there's any pressure to turn the table. The downside is that you'll pay 5 star prices for 4 star food and needlessly informal 3 star service (the servers are wonderful but don't deliver "fine dining" service). For 2 appetizers and 2 a la carte entrees (excluding drinks), expect to pay $100 - $130 per person after the automatic 20% service and tax. This oddly makes the $120 tasting menu a potential opportunity for relative pricing arbitrage. Worth it? I won't be returning on my own dime to find out. The food is very good if not revelatory, so if you are price insensitive or on an uncapped expense account and favor casual elegance, it's a good choice. If you value your hard earned money, or expect prices to match the trifecta of ambiance, service, and quality of food, there are plenty of options that will meet those expectations elsewhere. read more

This restaurant sits in the lobby of the Shashi hotel. Great ambience with good food and drinks. VERY spendy and overpriced for what you get. The $22 burger is the cheapest meal on the menu and tasted great. Drinks....be careful what you ask for. A 'house' Cabernet runs $26/glass with a classic Old Fashioned running $18. A great place for young skinny Jean hipsters and techies as this place is in the heart of Google land. A little too much in terms of the experience as a whole for me. It seems to be a popular hangout, so worth a shot if that's your vibe. read more

Interesting venue and location being in the center of a hotel and partially wrapped around that hotel's pool. We were greeted immediately by the friendly and knowledgeable sommelier who walked us to our table. For whatever reason he spotted me as being the wine drinker at the table. I forgot his name but he was quite passionate about their wines and gave the full description with each pour. Our waiter James was very accommodating and fun to talk to. The food was fantastic, we didn't have a bad bite. We did The Broma Experience for a table of four. It supposedly covers about 80% of the menu family style. This seems about right, it was appetizer/charcuterie first followed by a very delicious fish dish and amazing skirt steak along with sides of roasted potatoes in cilantro sauce and a salad with prosciutto. Desert was an assortment of three deserts. Really great meal, everything tasted awesome. Pro tip, opt in for their caviar service. It comes at a good price point and a unique serving method. Also get Iberico with your first course. read more

We had high hopes with friends whom have been there before and some of the reviews. Unfortunately we discovered that they no longer are doing their tasting menu! Now it is more just some appetizers and dinner entre options. We had the Stripped Bass and the Pasta entre along with their most expensive Spanish ham, and the artichoke appetizer. The Spanish ham was over $50 and it came out already sliced and not that high quality. We have been to Spain and were hoping for real Spanish ham sliced at the table with a much more vibrant red and mouthwatering ham but The pasta dish was not that great as there was not much pasta, not enough mushrooms and more of a veggie entre; I would give it a 2.5 out of 5. The Stripped bass was on it's own about a 3 out of 5. The deserts were not that great. The Mexican hot chocolate was a major disappointment. It was a cold desert and worse was that it was not very sweet and tasted graining and not appealing. The interior is nice and inviting. The wait staff does a great job. During dinner we looked it up at Yelp to realize all the stellar reviews were more like a year or so old and they were all referring to the tasting menu. There were two more recent reviews but they sounded very similar and probably written by the Restaurant. They need to bring back the tasting menu and the quality everyone in the past was raving about, or if they lost that great chef whom did the tasting menu, they better get a new chef... read more

Every month, my gf and I meet my friend and his wife for a double-date. It's become kind of a fun competition to see who picks the better restaurant. This past Saturday, my gf and I picked Broma Restaurant, and honestly I feel bad the other couple have to pick next because it's going to be very hard to top our experience we had here! The ambiance is very cool - comfy and cozy but with a sleek modern touch. It was kind of chilly when we got there but luckily we were seated next to the fireplace which was perfect. There was a lively birthday party happening at the outdoor bar area, but we were seated in the dining area and there wasn't any noise from the party disrupting us. Service is incredible - very helpful staff who have expert knowledge of their dishes and have amazing recommendations based on what your preferences are. They made sure to make note of any allergies and ensured whatever we ordered would have those items removed. The waitstaff's timing was impeccable - they always seemed to show up during a break in our conversation and never interrupted us, and also replaced our plates and utensils after every dish. The food itself is incredible. All of our starters were great but I think the dish that stood out the most was the Steak Tartare - it comes with foie gras butter and caviar served with fried plantain chips to dip. Honestly I could have just ordered 4 plates of this for the night. I can't get enough of it. Broma's options for entrees makes it hard to settle for one option - everything sounds amazing, and if you've seen the photos online, you know the presentation is aesthetically pleasing as well. I've had the Sherry Braised Pork Shank before and it was beautiful, a magnificent work of art in itself - but this time I decided on the 28 Day Dry Aged Ribeye. Ordered it Medium-Rare and it came Medium-Rare. I don't have the most advanced pallete in the world and I'm certainly not a renowned wordsmith, so let me just say that was a certified Damn Good Steak™. I would have finished the whole thing but I like to snack at night so I saved a couple morsels for later. TL;DR: Great place to entertain friends and family or celebrate a special event or even just a romantic couples dinner. Staff treats everyone like royalty, the cuisine is superb, and the drinks are fresh with their own unique flair! read more

The website photos of a serene setting couldn't be further from the truth. The contemporary lines and open seating make for a noisy dining room where shouting replaces conversation. That the menu is limited wouldn't be a problem if the same flavor didn't end up in several dishes: smoked paprika. It was so strong in the scallop dish that we had to ask what the other ingredients were (carrot). Table service was cordial, but difficult to understand. It was as if a script were being recited. It didn't merit the size of the tip that is automatically added to the bill, an egregious practice. We left hungry after experiencing the miniscule portions of octopus and ham and clam soup and asparagus and scallops and desserts. read more

This place was previously called the emerald hour where they served ala carte, but recently changed to Broma. It's now a 3-course fixed menu. It's one of the finer dining experiences you can get in the South Bay. The place is very inviting, it's hip and has a modern hotel lounge feel to it and the food was top notched. Everything we had was delicious and we will definitely be back! Cheers to the chef! read more

What a dud. Food lackluster at best. I had the hamachi crudo (like a hodge-podge of incompatible flavors, wasn't even presented well); duck (overcooked, also incompatible trimmings); and mousse (accompanied by dried-out, crusty cake). My partner had the shishito peppers (poorly-seasoned) and lentils (meh). He liked the mousse. Ambiance, or lack thereof: the seating was by the hotel pool. Squeals from the water throughout the meal. The so-called prix fixe menu was more expensive ($30 more in my partner's case, just $2 in my case) than ordering an appetizer, entree, and dessert a la carte. Do not recommend, won't be returning. read more

Ambiance: The place is very modern and sleek. The entrance to Broma however requires you to walk through the hotel entrance and through a work setting. It wasn't that crowded and we had a lot of space, but to be fair we came on a weekday night. Service: The service is great. Our waitress explained the items on the menu on depth and overall was very kind. Food: We got the olive oil and house bread and the aged mackerel for starters. The olive oil has a nice nutty and fruity taste to it and is very tasty. The house bread was a little disappointing. It was pale, cold and a little tough, and does not tear well. The mackerel is a 9.5/10. It is one of the best mackerels I ever had, hands down. For our entrees, we got the day boat scallops and the sherry braised pork shank with potatoes. The day boat scallops were good, but not mind-blowing good for $40. You only get 3 giant scallops. It is defiantly not enough to make you full. The nduja and carrot spread definitely out shown the scallops. I'd rate the scallops 7.5/10 and the nduja and carrot spread a 9/10. The pork shank is a 7.5/10. The texture is really nice and falls off the bone. The taste, however, is not as intense as expected if it was braised in sherry. It was still delicious. The potatoes were exceptional. Crispy on the outside and very flavorful. We also got a Paloma (tequila, milk wash, grapefruit cocktail) which I think was refreshing and on the lighter end. read more

The worst restaurant I have been in quite a while. Food, service, nothing good to say.

We ate here when it was the Emerald Hour. Now it's Broma. 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....sorry! 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. read more

The ambience and food was incredible. What else do you need? It checks all the boxes for fancy dining/date night.

We had a great experience! The three of us shared starters and had drinks and desserts.

Attentive staff and a fun atmosphere around the pool. We'll be back! read more

Spanish and Catalonian food are not on every street corner, so to have a place like Broma to go and enjoy it is noteworthy. However, having been to and dined in Barcelona and other Spanish and Catalonian restaurants in the Bay Area, while Broma is solid, for the price point, it did not leave an indelible impression. The service was great and very attentive but the food was solid but will be soon forgotten. Of the six small plates we ordered, the Hamachi crudo was the standout. A competitor, on Castro Street, also in Mountain View, feels like a better value and experience alike. read more
