I like the ambience here. They have a bar, live music, coffee cafe area, dinning area and an out door dinning area. The servers were friendly. 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 crushed pistachios really contrasted well with the beets. read more

5 stars for the location and ambiance. Roger has great atmosphere if you're looking for a quiet morning/afternoon workspace. It's inside The Ameswell Hotel, with a spacious layout, aviation-inspired design, and a relaxed indoor/outdoor feel that's rarely crowded during daytime hours. They serve coffee drinks and food. The vibe works well for getting work done between sips of coffee. 1-2 stars for the food: they really need to redesign the entire menu completely, in my opinion. 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 read more

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". read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.

Food presentation is great. Service plates are difficult to deal with. I had the octopus terrine slippery sucker. My wife had small house salad for starters greens did not fit in the bowl and couldn't be cut. (Note to chef,please cut the salad into smalIer pieces). I had the striped bass and it was excellent. Looked a bit odd when it arrived but OMG good. The wife had the flat olive flat bread. Just ok lacked. sauce. Our meal was a plus. Booze over priced.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

(Mountain View) Food: (7.9/10) Fried chicken sandwich- breaded chicken breast, pickled onion, cabbage + zhoug slaw, kewpie, brioche bun. Chicken was nicely cooked but overall sandwich lacked flavor. The bottom half of the bread also got soggy really quick and was falling apart. The presentation looked great but for what the price is without any side that comes with the meal, not really worth it. SALMON (8/10)- caramelized cauliflower puree, tobiko-dashi emulsion. Salmon was cooked well but nothing special about it. The CC puree and the sauce were tasty and went well with the salmon GARLIC FRIES (8.3/10)- garlic aioli, parmesan cheese, herbs. I would have given this a high 9 if the potatoes were crispier with a little bit more garlic. The flavor was there and the presentation looks great.

Highlight for me is $1/person cake cutting fee! Love it! This is a restaurant inside a hotel and because it's in Mountain View but not the busy commercial area, this is more for group gathering and plan to gather for a bit if you use this location. Saturday night has live music and it's still casual to chat. We are a party of five, came for a quiet birthday gathering. I found the menu seasonal but too few choices for large parties, which means there are repeating orders. We had 2 short ribs order and 1 halibut. They are all just ok. The fish is a bit overcooked because the filet is too thin, the short ribs are a bit dry and to complement it they have a separate bottle of sauce on the side. The "snacks" have more varieties. I was very interested in the fried Maitake mushroom but the spice on it made it tasted a bit weird. The brussel sprouts are good, the caesar salad is good, the garlic fries is not fries size but slides of potato wedges (I think it's good to stuff up big tummies, but for a group of girls this is not very essential). The cauliflower is good but it's a few big pieces, I think they could cut it a bit more to make it more sharable. We also tried their bottle of Sarah's Vineyard pinot called "Dwarf Oak" from Santa Clara Valley. It's not as thin as a regular pinot and tasted very fruity and easy to drink. Service is ok, we got checked on a few times but we had to remind our waitress to refill water and the dirty plates and wine bottle were not promptly taken away. They have a backyard with a very huge and burning warm pit fire. With an olive tree next to it, there's a bit of RH rooftop ambience but we opted in door after some picture taking because the fire is too ferotious. read more

The food here was all right, the steak was a bit undercooked when they brought it even though I asked for medium, but then they were able to re-cook it for me and then it was a little burnt.

Wanted to book an event with friends and family, but do not trust them to handle allergies of mine and family members safely after e-mailing the management to inquire. They have menu items labeled as Gluten Free that are not actually gluten free- has a shared fryer. This is not a reasonable or truthful labeling. I get it, no establishment can guarantee 100% safety in a shared kitchen, this is the inherent risk anyone with allergies chooses to take to live a normal life. But when an establishment knowingly labels food items incorrectly for allergens, that's a problem. read more

I don't even know where to begin. I came in for my valentines dinner, when I was sat I was only given the valentines dinner menu. I noticed that everyone around me had been given the regular dinner menus as well as the valentine's day menus. No problem. Next I ordered the seafood tower, which for starters is $100. They claimed to have forgotten the dungeoness crab spoons which was supposed to be included. 2 uni toasts were missing. To compensate for that I was offered a dessert by the food runner not even our waiter which I declined because dessert simply doesn't makeup for it. We were there for about 2 & 1/2 hours and 80% of that was waiting for food. Overall, horrible service , won't be back. read more

We were attacked by wasps, but saved by the hospitality of the waiters. Our group of 12 was seated outside in the summer, and the weather was really nice. However, a swarm of wasps showed up on our table once we received our food, and the waiters noticed. So, they were really kind and moved our group inside. We really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff. As for the food, it was good. We really enjoyed the wine and cocktails. Parking was easy, and the parking garage is conveniently located across the street. Will come back if we dine indoors haha. read more

Beautiful venue & ambiance. I was thoroughly pleased with the cocktails altho turned off by the expensive. Fantastic appetizers & desserts. There are minimally meat based appetizers, primarily veggie which was an unexpected treat despite my hankering for chicken wings. We did not have any main dishes so no comment there. The friends I went with were looking for the loaf of bread & butter which has since been taken off the menu. That sounds amazing. Please bring it back. The service was decent, not amazing. Nevertheless I would come back again for the vibe & the cocktails with a fully loaded wallet. read more

Beautiful bar/lounge and restaurant. Live music was a nice surprise. Wonderful outdoor seating that's dog friendly. Well decorated both inside and out. I enjoyed the patio area with fire pits. Heat lamps are also available if you choose to dine at one of their outdoor tables. The food was pretty good. Loved their Brussel sprouts and broccolini appetizers.

I really like the setting of this venue. It's a green open environment with a modern design.

Been coming to the Roger Bar & Restaurant for years and it never disappoints. Whether it's dinner or brunch, Roger Bar & Restaurant hits every time. My two favorite things to eat here are their Cheeseburger and Breakfast Sandwich. However, they have plenty of other delicious options to choose from. They also have great drinks and they put unique twist on traditional cocktails. When we come we usually have a large party and the staff are very accommodating. At times service can be slow, but it's never been a really big issue for me. Looking forward to coming to the Roger Bar & Restaurant again and I certainly recommend! read more

We have staycationed at Ameswell twice and eaten at Roger both times. I really like the restaurant, and my husband and I were just saying we should come back even when we aren't staying at the hotel. It's one of the most family friendly restaurants I have been to, but to make it even better the food and drinks are great as well. The atmosphere is very relaxed and because the restaurant is indoor-outdoor, kids can easily go back and forth between the table and grassy area (with cornhole, giant Jenga, giant Connect Four). On our recent visit, we ordered 2 kids meals. The butter pasta was good but cooked al dente so it was a little firm for our 1-year-old (but perfectly fine for our older daughter). The fruit salad had strawberries and blackberries which was great - it wasn't just melon! The pizza is more like a flatbread than a traditional pizza just FYI and the chocolate chip cookies were really good! I like how the kids drink can be milk, apple juice, lemonade, orange juice, or a Shirley temple. The adults enjoyed the margherita flatbread, berry salad, and skewers. The skewers were actually from the yakitori grill but we brought them back to eat at our table. I think they are only available on the weekends. Be sure to take advantage of the happy hour. It's 4-6pm even on weekends and drinks were 20% off when we went. Service is friendly and food comes out fairly quickly. 5 stars all the way! read more

Modern, clean bar and restaurant located inside the Ameswell Hotel and a great spot for date night. There's plenty of parking and I highly recommend getting seated outdoors, especially now that the weather is warm. When my boyfriend and I went, it was extremely windy outside so we opted for a booth inside. We started with the fries and shishito peppers to go with our cocktails. The fries were so crispy and the shishito peppers came with this sauce that I was basically licking off the plate. The server made sure we got our appetizers first so we can have something to nibble on with our drinks, which I appreciated. We decided to share fish & chips and chicken schnitzel for our main and the tartar sauce was divine! Lots of herbs and the fish was perfectly seasoned and thick. The schnitzel was interesting and the batter for it had panko and seeds so it had a nice, crispy texture. This spot is good for drinks and bites and I loved how clean everything was. Service was prompt and nice, and I'd love to come back to enjoy their huge outdoor area. read more

We have mixed feelings because our first visit, we absolutely loved the food, the attentive and fast service, and the beautiful outdoor patio! We found their burger to be very tasty/juicy despite us asking for it a bit more well done, and the brussels sprouts were so good. Wagyu Cheeseburger - 9/10, very tasty and was fantastic the first time we ordered. The second time, we felt it was a bit dry unfortunately so seems hit or miss. Pork Tenderloin - 7/10, an interesting take on the dish and not bad. We just didn't feel like the portions and uniqueness made up for the hefty price tag Green Garden Rice - 2/10, definitely wouldn't order again. We ordered it to try the hojicha but it was mostly watery at the bottom and mostly tasted pretty bland. The second and third times we've visited - we asked to sit outside and were denied due to another reservation that never seemed to show up in the 2 hours we ended up dining there. Instead, we were given a darker table in the back and we had to ask twice for the happy hour menu despite having 30min left on the actual happy hour event. Food was more dry (burger) the second time, and their Popcorn Chicken appetizer - while the idea is cute and fun, only had a few pieces of chicken with mostly a full bag of popcorn so we didn't feel like it was worth the price. read more

Had the distinct pleasure of visiting this restaurant over the weekend. I have passed this location hundreds of times but has no idea they had such a charming restaurant located at the Ames Hotel. We had a group luncheon event for about 12 people. They set up a great banquet style table for our group in front of the massive raised wall entrance to the outside dining. The door itself is an engineering marvel. And spending a little time looking over the decor, it's apparent that it is hip, aeronautic and gives off a very classy vibe. They have some lounge tables made of solid woods, the bar is exception all eye catching, the ceiling is strewn with wood fabrications that just give it such a unique appearance. Once I finished taking in all the eye candy I glanced over the menu. while I did not partake of the spirits the drink menu outclassed the brunch menu. The sheer descriptions sounded delicious but upon delivery by the wait staff I was genuinely impressed. I believe we eat with our eyes first. The best foods I have had looked as mouth watering as they tasted. This was no exception. I selected the croque madame flatbread, a description that I have not seen done before. It comes with prosciutto and I avoid pork. Happily they had a grilled chicken in the menu and despite being willing to pay for a substitution no charge was made. The experience was outstanding, the setting exceptional and the food delicious. Their cross section style fries intriguing and equally enjoyable. And overall, for the whole experience, well priced. They have indoor and outdoor seating. From the looks of it they do evening venues that leverage a pristine polished airstream camper as a serving station. Curious what they offer from it. It is definitely on my list of locations to revisit, maybe for dinner next time. read more

I wanted to like it, but it's very over priced for what you get, normal hotel bar/restaurant prices, We could have gone to our normal steakhouse for a really good meal for the same price, and we only got tiny portions. The main door was broke, and even if it wasn't broke, it opens so wide, there's a whole row of tables that get a huge blast of air whenever it's opened. We sat the furthest from the door and it was really cold. Some others were closer and they had jackets and all on. We were all looking for alternate tables, but all filled up. Terrible design. No one liked their special cocktails read more

My friends and I came here for a birthday dinner at the choice of the birthday girl. My friend and I arrived first and were seated immediately for our reservation even though most of our party had not arrived. The restaurant is located in the Ameswell Hotel, right in front and you can see it when you pull up to the hotel. We were seated outside originally, but we decided to move inside once the entire party showed up because of how warm it was. Their patio area would be really nice if it was 90+ degrees outside. Food: For the table, we ordered fries, bread, and the charcuterie board to share. The fries aren't your traditional shape, but they're made fresh and were pretty good! The charcuterie board was standard. The bread was good, but it is pricy. For my entree, I ordered the impossible burger that was more like a patty melt as it came on sourdough bread. It was really tasty. The bread was a little on the crunchy side, but I would order this again. I also had the purple empress for my cocktail that was pretty tasty! It was delightfully sour. Service: Service was friendly. When we were initially seated, we were given two menus and some waters while we waited for our party. However, once our party arrived, it was slow for our server to greet the whole party. We moved inside when the whole party arrived. The waiter initially asked for only our drink order and then only apps. It would have been nice to have ordered everything at once as we were ready. We ordered our entrees after our apps came. This made the table a little crowded with all the menus and plates. However, overall, we had a good time and we were treated well. It was a little slow to get our check, but it was pretty busy at this point! TL;DR - located in The Ameswell with good food and not bad service. read more

Roger hits different now. And, not in a good way. When Roger first opened, I had a great experience so when I was staying at The Ameswell, I thought I visit them again for dinner. The experience was like night and day, and I ended up ordering delivery from a nearby Nepalese food truck afterwards. =X After checking in for our rezzies, we were seated behind a table that was vaping. I went inside and kindly asked the host if we can move. We moved to the other end of the patio but depending on the wind direction, you can still smell the fruity vape scent. I know some things are beyond the staff's control but disappointing that they didn't ask the table to vape away from diners. We ordered two Apps: Crispy Maitake Mushrooms ($16) & Beef Cheeks ($17) which were fine but wouldn't order again. Both needed something acidic to cut through the grease. As a shared entree, we ordered the Hanger Burger ($22) w/ bacon (+$3) and avocado (+$3). Knowing that most places tend to overcook their burgers (and steaks), we requested the burger rare but it arrived raw like tartare: https://tinyurl.com/4u8ey54s. I usually don't send food back but for a $28 burger, I think it's reasonable to (our server didn't seem too happy about that). TBH, I'm surprised the burger left the kitchen since they sliced it in half for us and it was obvs raw. For the refire, the patty was medium-ish, dry, and incredibly salty. And, at this price point, I've never seen a patty this thin: https://tinyurl.com/46u9b5n2 unless it's a smash burger that comes with two patties. As for food service, after waiting 30 minutes, everything came out at once. I wished they had coursed out our meal or at least asked if it was ok to bring everything at once. Maybe they're understaffed but after telling our server about the undercooked burger, we didn't see him again. We had to ask the busboy for the bill and he helped get our server for us. Overall, a very underwhelming return experience. Maybe it was an off night but Roger just feels like your typical hotel restaurant now...overpriced and mediocre. read more
