Beautiful Microbrewery

Yes it's trendy, but why is that a bad thing?

This stylish bar has the best overall beer of any brewpub in the Silicon Valley and the food is excellent.

My only complaint are the menu is too short and the prices slightly high.

• Pros: Good Beer, Friendly staff, good parking
• Cons: No patio dining, short bar menu

Trendy and not much else.

The hostess was rude and wouldn't let us even see a dessert menu unless we were seated first. We left, but decided to give it another chance after hearing how bad the bands sounded at the other resturants and bars on the street. We ordered a cocktail and a beer.

They only have 4 beer choices and were out of one kind. My cocktail was watered down and taseted terrible.

Our waitress was impatient and rude. I asked if there were any desserts without nuts (because of allergies) and she reccomended one. When it arrived it was covered in nuts. I had just told her that I was allergic! She acted surprised and reccomended another dessert. I looked on the menu for the one she had suggested... it was almond cake.

We paid our bill and left very dissapointed. Obviously I won't be back, nor do I reccomend this place.

• Pros: none, none, none
• Cons: very few beer choices, RUDE waitstaff, Brainless Waitress

Great food but service needs improvement

The food is awesome and is not much more expensive than most other American restaurants. However, the staff seems to be quite arrogant at times.
