Hotel Nia is the bomb diggy atmospherically • The restaurants outdoor patio has some seats that are made of big natural stones pedestals my absolute favorite snack was the mushroom ‍ nachos appetizer. I would’ve never expected combo o’ ingredients to come together to be this good very #WellDone

I really enjoyed the ambience of this restaurant. Beautiful decor, ambient lighting, and an overall vibe. It is located inside the beautiful Hotel Nia, one of my favorite Autograph Collection hotels by Marriott.

The Wagyu burger was a great choice and I really really enjoyed the unique offering of garlic fries instead of the traditional or truffle option. This really was a standout of the meal. The burger was flavorful and cooked to my desired temperature. Tommy’s Margarita (not pictured) wasn’t as tasty as I expected but it was still a solid tequila choice. The best part of the drink was the dried pineapple slice. My waitress even brought me extra at my request which I appreciated. Overall 9/10 experience.

My server was nice and attentive.

Beautiful restaurant inside Hotel NIA. Aside from top-notch service (we felt like royalty…!), the best part of this restaurant is its atmosphere. There is a wide variety of spaces, seating, and vistas available for dining. The semi-outdoor dining area facing the inner courtyard is one of the nicest in the bay, especially on a warm summer day. The indoor spaces are cozy and luxurious. We were pleasantly surprised by the food too. Came in expecting an overpriced hotel dinner but this place is worthy of standing on its own as a restaurant. Good portions and seasonal offerings. It turned out to be a good place to bring our young kids too. There was plenty of space in the restaurant, so we could enjoy a fine meal without feeling self-conscious about our children being disruptive. There were kids menus too; kids pasta was a huge hit.

Tips: Parking isn’t ideal here. $30 for hotel valet and no hotel self parking is available. Second, there’s few veggies on the main dishes so I’d recommend getting a salad on the side.

I was truly blown away with Porta Blu. Our server was a pro and led us to all the right places. I went with a salad made of dandelions which was a new one for me.

I after hearing about the whole chicken I had no other choice but to go for it. Who knew Mariott’s high end line could be so exquisite? Not me.

Kaleb went for the vegetarian entrees and he seemed very pleased. The drinks are complex and hold their own. Definitely made for a the beginning of fun night.

Had a team dinner here and the options were a bit underwhelming. The pizza was not good, the salmon was fine and the salad was ok but pricey. Tiramisu dessert was actually pretty good. Ambience is nice and we stayed for drinks after. Maybe not coming again for the food though!

HAS POTENTIAL BUT NEEDS WORK – and we left hungry. Food was uneven. Corn soup special was excellent. Chicken Kabob well cooked but small. Server failed to mention that the Ahi special was an appetizers – so I ordered it as my entrée. Bread could be good but was dry. Not stale, just dry. The restaurant itself is a really nice space and opens onto the outdoors. Soup and salad were good portions. Seems like the chef can definitely cook, but they need to enhance the menu and sort out the portions. The ingredients they work with seemed to be very good quality. Has potential to be 4 or 5, but for now a 3.

Service and atmosphere are great. Staff are incredibly friendly. Food? The menu is interesting but, I can’t stress this enough, someone please help the kitchen find the salt.
Cassava chicken bites? Basically unsalted.
Fries with the burger? Same deal.
The kitchen needs to salt fried food when it comes out of the fryer so that the salt adheres to the food and seasons it adequately.
If I’m paying $27 for a burger and fries; you better salt the dang fries properly.
Also some mayo on the burger beyond just the dab of ketchup wouldn’t go astray.

Early Valentines Dinner – really nice outdoor eating area and beautiful indoor dining room – service was top notch- they offered a prefixe Valentines Day dinner of 4 courses- we started with a couple of oysters with a cava mignonette- delish! We could have had a dozen of the oysters! In addition to the vodka martinis that we had (with blue cheese stuffed olive option), the nice bar manager poured a complementary glass of sparking Lambrusco, which went well with the oysters and the Beet carpaccio with burrata and herb salad. My husband ordered seared duck breast for his entree and I ordered the flower crusted NY strip steak – both were good, but a bit unevenly cooked – I wanted medium rare and the steak was closer to medium on one end, but medium rare on the other end. We ended the meal with a lovely chocolate opera cake. The setting is great, service wonderful – we would come back!

Restaurant menu has vegan options but the staff doesn’t know what that means. Order it vegan and they’ll ask if you want eggs and salmon and then they’ll serve it with cheese.

It would be better if they didn’t offer vegan option at all. At least I’d have known to go somewhere else.
