Reviews
Well, we did have a great time there because we had a good quality time and the conversation was meaningful.
But it turned out the food was just okay (I mean it’s good but for this price…. It can be better for sure) and the waiter seemed rather new(? It’s like he just started working and didn’t have much experience in interacting with people.
We liked the bread and olive oil sauce the most and my boyfriend said the one carrot on the side was surprisingly sweet (in a good way, like a sweet potato. Yup, that one carrot was the highlight of our meal
(Ravioli was okay, soup was fine, scallop itself was good but there was only one, lava cake was a no (too rich and bitter) and cheesecake was a no (too sweet), steak was okay and salmon was fine. Carrot and mashed potato were pretty good, I also liked the roasted tomato with veggies on top on the side, quite refreshing)
Btw, about the grand view… it was chilly and cold outside so they put out a lot of heaters and some plastic things like curtains to prevent wind, which actually feels like I’m eating street food back in Taiwan loll (and no, sadly you cannot see the view
All in all, we agree that the fix menu was not worth it and maybe this restaurant is good at cooking veggies and has great sauce(? So if we really decide to come again, we might come on a day when we could pick our own food and try out the veggie dishes. And maybe come earlier, before the sunsets so we can enjoy the view too (not sure when they put the plastic curtain things down).
The $200 32 ounce Tomahawk steaks was cooked in profession, well seasoned too. $95 12 ounce lobster tails are just fine.
But the view of the Santa Clara Valley is priceless, as spectacular as it can be if you can catch the sunset. It’s a great place for your special occasion!
Parking lot is really small but not much land to make it bigger. Arrive 15-20 minutes early of your reservation to get parking.
Atmosphere was amazing, Entry Bar & Lounge with Live music was Beautiful and perfect.
Our server was Amazing, professional with a sense of humor ( perfect for us).
Everything is definitely pricey but All of our food & drinks were Delicious and we got to meet the chef, hard worker.
All staff were wonderful and pleasant.
Overall experience definitely a 5 star and will be returning in the future, maybe in summertime when we can actually enjoy the view.
Service: they were so attentive from leading us in , seating us down, introducing the menu and bringing the orders.
The kids’ menu is extremely limited — just one pasta option with three sauce choices. What’s worse, our server quoted $12 per plate, but we were later charged $14 each. That lack of transparency was disappointing from a restaurant of this category.
The Squid Ink Pasta with Prawns felt like a complete rip-off at $45 — the sauce was bland, and there were only five shrimp on the plate. The Pollo Parmigiana, priced at $47, came without any side dish — no pasta, no vegetables, nothing — just the chicken. Charging nearly fifty dollars for a plain chicken dish without accompaniments feels unreasonable.
The Agnolotti della Montagna and cocktails were decent, though not memorable. The house Zinfandel was the highlight of the meal — smooth and enjoyable — yet it’s not even listed on the menu, which only features far more expensive wines.
To be fair, the service was attentive and friendly, which helped make the evening more enjoyable. However, with a final bill of $497.29 for six people, the value simply doesn’t match the cost.
Overall impression:
The Grandview offers a beautiful setting and good service, but the food quality, portion sizes, and pricing do not justify the expense. A disappointing experience for what should have been a special night.
The service after we were seated was very good
The food was good, not great. But worth it for the view.
The only negative part of this experience was at the bar. We were early for our reservation and tried to get a drink at the bar but the bartender was not too interested in serving us, completely ignoring us.
