    They pass on the 0.0975% California Tourism Assessment fee.
    Scott F.

    They have live music on Saturdays in the lounge next to the bar starting at 6 or 7 pm; it's usually one or two musicians. It's quite pleasant. - 4.5/5: The Flying Ace cocktail is a good Old Fashioned riff, with a spicy cinnamon note. One oddity; they pass on the California tourism assessment fee, which applies to hotels that have restaurants. It is 0.0975% of restaurant sales. For for my $18 cocktail, I was hit with a 2 cent "CA Tourism Tax".

    Absolutely delightful brunch we had at Roger Bar. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and was very festive for the season. We booked a Santa brunch so the kids could meet Santa and when we walked through the door, Santa was sitting over by the tree so enthusiastically waving at us. The kids were delighted! The hostess walked us over to our table and our server, Shannon, greeted us. She was so friendly and helpful the whole time. Before we ate, we walked over to Santa and striked up a conversation with the kids. He was a great Santa and the kids were open to talking to him. They sometimes can be shy, but not with him! After talking, he asked them what their favorite colors were and pulled some small toys from a bag. This was such a nice surprise for the kids and they were excited to take a photo with Santa :) The menu was great and was so hard to choose what to get. I settled on the classic breakfast they had with a mimosa and the kids had the kids meal, Mac n cheese and cheese pizza. We also got them these fun drinks they also offered. I think one was strawberry based and the other was grapefruit based. The server warned us that it has been tart in the past for kids, but we decided to try it anyway. It ended up being good for him at the beginning, but I think it started getting more tart for him so I ended up finishing it for him and I thought it was great! My breakfast was delicious especially the pancakes and the country potatoes. I love the way it was prepared. The eggs were good, but not made in a way I am used to. When the kids food arrived I was surprised how professionally fun they played the food! Sometimes I think restaurants don't put much thought into the kids food, but it actually looked very delicious. The mac n cheese looked like it wasn't made out of a box and the pizza did not look like it was previously frozen. The food came in trays with the fries being my country potatoes, but without the other fix ins and sauce. It also came with a cookie and fruit! Overall, it was an amazing brunch. I had stayed at the Ameswell a few months ago and I didn't expect anything less than my experience there and they always deliver. Such a great property all around. I can't wait to come back :)

    Avocado toast

    Overall, this is a really nice spot with a great theme. It's conveniently located right off the freeway inside the Ameswell Hotel. The staff was on the younger side and service took a bit longer than expected, but everyone was friendly. Unfortunately, the food was a miss for us. We came for Christmas brunch and tried the burger, avocado toast, pancakes, fried chicken, and a kids' meal. Nothing really stood out, and we wouldn't return just for the food.

    Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich

    Great interior and nice patio area to have brunch. Food was good - fries could be more crispier and the salad could be freshier considering the price. The best was fruit yogurt. Service was overall great. Food took about 20min to come out.

    Unbelievably bad service. We ordered the Roger Burger and as seen in the picture, the menu clearly states the 'salt roasted fries' were part of the burger and the there would be a choice of side. I think any logical person would interpret it that way. However when our order came out, no fries were included (the side we chose was). When i asked about it, they disputed and said the fries were one of the sides. They said by choosing a side (one of the choices in the menu) I basically replaced the fries. As shown in picture, i think it's pretty clear fries are part of order and the side is separate. Yet despite this logical interpretation, we were refused the fries. Despite us raising valid concerns, we were stonewalled with 'you can talk to my manager' (who conveniently was unavailable/in an interview). This is such a minor item (fries), yet this restaurant chooses to treat their customers this way. Very unfortunate.

    My friend suggested this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and I took a look at yelp and saw the positive reviews and decided to check it out. It is located in the Ameswell Hotel. We went on a Friday night, ubered there and it was super packed. They tried to seat us at the table right by the door which we didn't like at first since the draft and wind kept coming in. We asked to get moved to a further table and they got us in even though there was some company event that night and most tables were reserved. They were still able to accommodate us which made the night start off right. Inside there was band singing live for us which made the ambiance much more fun. The interior was modern, chic, and in the middle was the bar that glowed! So cool! For the 4 of us this is what we ordered to share: Snacks: Brussel Sprouts $11 (4/5) Nice flavor and slight crisp to the exterior of the brussels sprouts Crab Rangoon Mozzarella Sticks $16 (5/5) If you know me and my love for cheese, you MUST get this so oeey and yummy. Roasted Cauliflower $12 (4/5) I'm not a big cauliflower eater as I prefer broccoli, but this was super tasty also because the cheese sauce on top duh and some yummy toppings! Entrees: Crispy Rice Salad $16 (4/5) A nice mix of various veggies and herbs to get that super crunch with cucumber, edamame, and cabbage, topped with a vinaigrette, and lemongrass crispy rice! Now that we got all our recommended vegetable servings out the way. On to more good stuff! Gnocchi $24 (4/5) Delicious pillowy gnocchi with tomatoes in a creamy vodka sauce Chicken Katsu $28 (4/5) Super moist panko crusted chicken breast on top a curry, rice, and slaw on the side. Can't go wrong this this since the chicken was cooked perfectly. Desserts: Sticky Toffee Pudding $11 (5/5) This is one of my favorite desserts ever and usually when I see it on a menu I have to try. Roger bar did not disappoint me and you can taste the deep rich warm gooey flavors that balanced well with the vanilla gelato on the side. Chocolate + Coffee $13 (4/5) Gooey brownie and coffee gelato. I think after eating the sticky toffee pudding I would go with that one instead since I overloaded on my chocolate for the day. Overall, they're both very satisfying. We had an amazing time at Roger bar. Service was great and it a fun place to hang, grab a bite, and a drink, and sing along with the band. I would definitely come back to try the other dishes I didn't get to!

    I came here to listen to some live music from Ingrid Pontes. The singer was amazing as was the ambience at Roger Bar, which is part of the Ameswell Hotel. I ordered a pina colada kombucha which was quite refreshing. The bar is spacious and there is a nice outdoor area for kids to play in. I highly recommend recommend the service and the place!

    Outdoor patio
    Anisha Y.

    The ambiance was great, and I really liked the indoor-outdoor feel. The food and cocktails were average--good, but not worth the price. Since it's located in the Ameswell Hotel, it's convenient for guests, but I expected the food to be better. The portions were also a bit small.

    Interior

    Great spot with nice ambiance in Mountain View. Ample parking nearby and bike racks if you're biking over. There's also live music on Fridays and Saturdays and parking validation if needed. Service is friendly and they come by often enough (especially just before happy hour ends). Happy hour is 15% off everything which is nice, as the prices are higher than what I would expect for the place but the 15% discount makes it a great place to go. This time, I grabbed the chicken katsu and a Josephine Zero mocktail. The katsu was hearty but lacked any noticeable spice to it. The Josephine Zero was great, and I've enjoyed the other mocktails Roger has (there's a lot of mocktails!) The crab rangoon mozzarella sticks were great. Would recommend getting them.

    Solid food! Fun drinkies. Cool ambiance. Great for small parties and the shareables are pretty good for big parties as well. The outside lawn has some games like cornhole and giant jenga. The hotel connected is always pretty quirky. I'd recommend this place to stop by or for casual birthday dinners with friends!

    (Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is hidden chic getaway. Anna warmly greeted and served us. Crispy Rice Salad w/ Felafel! Wow! Felafels were light and flavorful! NY Striploin. Excellent! Broccollini perfectly charred Chicken Katsu. Perfect breading. The curry is fabulous! No. 2 Adaptogenic. It's got zing! Guava Fizzler. A repeater! Light airy fare that hits the spot! Fusion California! Would order everything again! Thanks, Anna! Woohoo!

    Classic breakfast over medium eggs
    Sara A.

    I wanted to like this place it's a great area. It's open you can sit inside or out. The mimosa was strong which I don't mind. The service is the downfall of this experience. We were sat pretty quick but after that forgotten. Multiple people came by after getting a mimosa and ordering food we waited and waited. We got our food and it was the wrong order and we let someone know. we watched it get taken to two other tables before getting it to the right place. After eating we kept waiting and waiting until we had to wave someone down. This is so frustrating because no one checked in on us. The sandwich was good too much egg in my opinion but was cooked well and had good flavor the potatoes were different in a good way. Savory spicy flavor. The classic breakfast was ok eggs a bit over cooked for being over medium. Nothing special the fruit assortment was good and tasted fresh. We love staying at the hotel and finally got to try the restaurant but we're very disappointed by our experience. we don't feel like it is worth the price and the service was not something we felt like we want to experience again.

    Fries. Too thick
    Olee L.

    Parking $10/hr at the structure! Ridiculous pricing! First 3 hours is free but I stay longer. Food is ok. Appetizers are good. Do order cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, deep fried mushrooms. No not order their fries. Not skinny fries more like rounds of thick cut potato. Entree are not good. Short rib is dry. Fish is fishy. Ambience is good with live music.

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes!

    Do they have organic options?

    Do you take dinner walk-ins for a group of around 4 people or are reservations needed?

    What is the update on live music? I inquired a long time ago and was told the city of Mountain View put a stop on live outdoor music, and was considering put it back into place and to keep checking in.

    I heard they had some noise complaints for outside music. Best to call for current situation

    Are you back to live music yet?

    Unfortunately, we do not have live music back yet. We are working with the city of Mountain View and hope that we will be able to have good news soon!

    Is this place dog friendly if we bring our dog for outdoor dinning?

    yes it is dog friendly outside, do not know if they restrict certain breeds, call to verify

    Why is the HH menu items the same price as the dinner menu?

    Hello Miss Bonnie B! Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we need to update our online menu! Our happy hour pricing should reflect our Hangar Burger at $14 and our Hot N Crispy Chicken at $13. We will work to get that fixed! We hope to see… Read more

    Is this place kid friendly?

    It is super kid friendly! Lots of options on the menu that kids always love - burgers, fries, pizzas - and also lots of healthy choices as well. And, definitely check out the lawn games - cornhole, bocce ball, hula hoops and more.

Sherry Braised Pork Shank - The meat was tender and easily pulled off the bone, and the polenta it came with was rich and perfectly creamy. Smoked Salmon & Caviar - A bit too salty for my taste, so this one didn't quite hit compared to the others. The meat dishes were definitely worth it, especially with the generous portions.

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.
