    Stopped by Le Banc after trying to walk off pizza, chicken wings and beer. Didn't think Los Altos would have a dive bar. Well, it's about as divey as one would expect of the town. Good bar. A buddy and I had a couple of pints and talked about the town we used to frequent way back in the 90s when we attended the neighboring community college. Ah, those we the days Anyway, Le Banc mean "the bench" in French and not "the bank" like we thought. A tip of the hat to the bartender "Ella" for educating us. We both liked the joint and will go back. Sorry, only one pic this time. It felt weird snapping pictures of a nearly empty bar.

    This may be the only full bar in downtown. There's a lot going on in this bar. There's a lot of TV's, games, jukebox, and interesting décor. Bartenders are good. I don't think it's quite my scene, but there's something for everyone at this place. It caters to everyone.

    Just what Los Altos needs! A great no frills bar! Good cheap drinks, great place to watch sports and it's BYOF (bring your own food).

    Fast, easy, and delicious!!…read more Seating is self-seat, order from the QR code at the table or up at the counter. Food comes out reasonably fast. When we came in with party of 2 on a sunday around 11:30 it was super chill, lots of tables open. Very efficient and delicious meal!! And so reasonably priced too. Good beer selection, and good variety of games to watch on the screen as you eat. We were able to catch some of the World Cup game while we were here. Would definitely recommend for big parties, casual eats, and a great time!

We put ourselves down at the waitlist and walked around for about 25 minutes before we got a text that our table was ready. You can either order through the QR code or at the bar. There was happy hour until 6pm which included deals on drinks and small bites so we quickly ordered the Jalapeño bites and then got the Heirloom Goat pizza with bell pepper and ranch added. We really wanted to try the vegan sausage, but unfortunately it was out of stock. The bites came out quickly and the pizza took about 15-20 minutes Jalapeño Bites (4/5): Comes with 5 balls. These had a nice kick to them, but otherwise they were pretty much what I expected Heirloom Goat (4/5): We liked the goat cheese and the bell peppers tasted fresh. Wish the pizza came with some sauce as it was a bit dry. Very filling! Overall, the food was solid, but nothing particularly stood out. There were a decent number of vegetarian options, but I wish I could have tried the vegan sausage. We were seated inside and the ambiance was a bit loud and chaotic so it was slightly difficult at times to have a conversation. I would consider coming back if I was in the area and could sit outside

Our server Ellie appeared, waters were delivered and she took our drink order. Our drinks were delivered and our food order was taken. Seamless, and quick, even with some questions from the ladies. Mind you, it was lunch time on Castro Street, pedestrians only, so very trendy. Busy. NOISE LEVEL LOUD. You may remove hearing aids. DOUBLE SMASH BURGER $19.50 garlic dijonnaise / American cheese / red onion / dill pickles and that was it. Top bun was room temperature, and the bottom bun was only warm from the cooked meat. Had a nice grilled cheese burger aroma, tasting like any other greasy, juicy, salty, cheese burger, nothing different or special. Accompanying fries were mildly seasoned, and I found no need to add salt. It was good, would order it again, but I don't feel it's worth the price. From the $13.00 special price menu: FISH & CHIPS $13.00 - what there was of the small portion of fish was seasoned well, as were the chips (fries). The Brit (the Duchess) in the party, gave her approval. The realm settled into contentment. COKE - $3.95 - glass with ice and straw was just enough to get me through my meal. GINGER LIME SODA - $7.00 - the Duchess was not happy with her order stating it was too sour, lacking any sweetness. She would never, ever order again and especially not at this price. The other couple in our party ordered Eureka burgers (American Swiss / grilled red onion / lettuce / house pickles / tomato / special sauce) substituting cheddar cheese for the Swiss. These burgers did come with bite size lettuce, a slice of tomato and pickle chips and fries. A side of onion rings completed their meal. I stole the woman's pickle chips and the flavor was great, just perfect . . . yum. Accompanied by two IPA beers. The cloudy lagers seemed to fill the bill. These burgers appeared to be just normal, greasy, juicy, salty regular cheese burgers. Nothing to take your breath away. SERVICE: Great! Ellie was attentive without hovering. It was a busy lunchtime hour, but they seem to have enough staff to handle the lunch rush. Ellie handled our table expertly with some patience I might add, so 5 stars to her. 2nd time here and I probably won't return. Pricing and noise level are a concern. Their acoustics are not made to handle the volume of chatter and music. PARKING: Entrance to public parking on Villa St., half block from Eureka's, located on the corner of Villa and Castro.

    Yikes! Stayed at the hotel this past weekend for a birthday staycation and was excited to try this…read morerestaurant. I dined with my daughter Friday night (08/28). It wasn't busy so I was surprised at how awful the service was. The young man who seated us looked like he hated life. I should've known that his vibe was only the beginning. Our evening went downhill from there...After our order was taken, and our food brought out, we never saw our server again. I finished my prosecco and never got the opportunity to order a second glass. Eventually, I told my 6-year-old to wait while I went and asked for a dessert menu. At which point I mentioned that we never saw our server. The woman at the stand handed me dessert menus and said someone would be with us shortly. A different server came and took our dessert order. But after dessert was brought to us, once again we were ignored. When I tell you that we could've gotten up and left and never paid, nobody would have noticed. That's how much we were ignored. I was fucking pissed at this point. I got up with my child to go complain when the server quickly noticed and asked if everything was ok...fuck no it's not ok! Quickly gave him my room number and said that the evenings service was atrocious. And we walked away. And if the service was bad, the food was worse. When I tell you a DiGiorno pizza is better than their rendition of a margarita pizza, it's not an exaggeration. My pizza literally had four tiny sprigs of basil. And their olive paste garnish on it is unnecessary. Their twist on the margarita pizza was not appetizing. I can't complain about their fries though. It was basically the only thing we ate that we enjoyed. Their guacamole was rough too. Lacked flavor. The dessert was the biggest disappointment, food-wise. It appeared to be a brownie baked on a chocolate chip cookie, cut into a pie slice. It was HARD. I gave up trying to get my spoon through it. Needed a steak knife. The ice cream was fine. After this experience, we decided we would not be eating at the restaurant for the rest of our time at the hotel. We went and picked up food or ordered in. The bartenders seemed nice, but once the afternoon hit, my daughter had to wait over 30 minutes for a Shirley Temple to be brought to the pool. After waiting too long I decided to get up and go to the bar and ask what was going on. Her Shirley Temple was sitting there at the bar, and they had accidentally put it in a typical glass, which is not permitted at the pool. The bartender apologized because the server who had taken my order at the pool, did not relay to the bartender that the order was for the pool area. All in all, I would never eat here again. As a local, it's disappointing because the ambience is nice. But the food is overpriced and not even close to being good. And as for the service? My God. This was officially the worst restaurant I have ever eaten at. Ever. When the manager of the hotel asked how our stay was, I casually mentioned that the restaurant was lacking in a lot of ways. But I didn't expand on the experience. However, I was surprised to see that the manager had taken off the meals from the charges to my room when I checked out. And I sincerely appreciate that. I never asked for it, but was appreciative as it was unexpected. Bottom line. The hotel is a nice stay, and I plan on staying again. But you couldn't pay me to eat at that restaurant.

She had a point, as many restaurants can be noisy, if not downright LOUD!! The Duchess order: FRENCH TOAST $16.00 3 French Toasts with Butter, Syrup & Side of Fresh Fruit. Your choice of Meat - Bacon, Chicken-Apple Sausage, Pork Patty or Chorizo. Chicken-Apple for the Duchess. The lack of fat, left the sausage chewy and a little bland. Should of ordered the pork, Duchess. On the other hand, she was overheard stating this was one of the best breakfasts she's had ever and can't wait to return! Me, your writer: BREAKFAST PLATTER $18.00 Choice of 2 or 3 Farm Fresh Eggs (Scrambled, Fried, Over Easy, Poached, Hardboiled or Egg Whites) , Toast (White, Wheat, or Sourdough) & Crispy Potatoes. Your choice of Meat - Bacon, Chicken-Apple Sausage, Pork Patty or Chorizo. For myself, 2 eggs over easy (over medium is preferred, but most cooks either overcook them or break at least one which turns out hard),with bacon, potatoes nicely browned and crispy as promised, with whole wheat toast and 2 packets of butter and strawberry jelly all on a . . . YES a platter. And there was no visible grease. Hats off to the cook! 5 stars The eggs were definitely over easy, so I will ask for over medium next time. My bad. Bacon was okay, just lacking a bit in flavor, a mix of chewy and crispy, with NO GREASE! GOD BLESS THE COOK!!!!! Nice touch being able to butter (real) my toast. DRINKS - 2 TALL, small coffees - $7.00 pleasant tasting flavor and aroma. We were offered refills, thus securing our server's tip. SERVICE: Great - Our first server all business, very polite, not too chatty, checked off all boxes, first delivering our coffees, quickly followed by our meals, served on heated platters. After breakfast, Yolanda, appeared to retrieve our dishes. Smiles all around as it was nice to see her again A no nonsense breakfast, cheaper than the going rate. Sit in a booth and you can watch your own private tv, remote included. The Court Yard Long Bar and Bistro is definitely worth trying.

They were slightly overcooked and because they were wrapped in bacon that was smoked, the smoke flavor completely overwhelmed the flavor of the prawns!! However, the cheesy corn poblano rice was the best thing on that plate! The asparagus and tomatoes were just an afterthought... The service was fairly friendly, but super slow!! We were there for 1.5 hours. There were many servers walking around, yet we were the only table in the Restaurant at 5pm!! Not sure why we did not get served in a timely manner when the restaurant was empty.
