Stratus Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Milpitas

Really nice ambiance for the holidays. Fireplace made it super comfortable and relaxed. Food was very good and I was actually surprised at how nicely it was prepared and presented. I'm not one to photograph my food but it did occur to me after I'd already gotten into it that I should have taken a picture of it. I had the salmon with rice pilaf and a side salad. Salad was fresh and very tasty. Rice pilaf was not too heavy and the salmon was very flavorful with the creamy white sauce they had on it. I'd definitely eat here again. Since I didn't see the menu anywhere in my room, I'll post a pic of that. ;) I posted a pic of the breakfast menu too. Breakfast was also tasty. For dinner this evening, I tried the southwest chopped salad with chicken and it was also very tasty and satisfying. Key lime pie was a great dessert choice...

No. 1 star, not 5, 4.5 not 3, not 2...ONE!! Sometimes these hotel bars are decent/good, but this isn't one of them. Nice bartender, but burger & fries were TERRIBLE! Low level ingredients, badly overcooked, not as ordered (no cheddar cheese or bacon). I know it's convenient, but do yourself a favor and drive a little to get something edible! This food is truly just above inedible. Hilarious that reviewer Marvin said this is a "hidden gem"!?? What!!??? It's more like a hidden horror when it comes...

I've been to this area for work in the past and was fortunate to stay at this hotel on my latest trip. I believe they said they've only been open for 5 months, but already some of the best food I've had during my time in the area. You can tell the chef knows what they are doing. From the menu to the presentation, the quality is up there with the best. The customer service is great, too. The bartenders are very polite and attentive. Juan was a joy to chat with. Would recommend this place...
