    The food at GrandView in San Jose is great; everything is fresh, and the view is amazing. The staff is attentive, and it’s a favorite spot for anniversaries and birthdays. The only downside is the drive up those winding roads, but it’s worth the trip.

    So DISAPPOINTED!! Salad was doused in cheese as was the ravioli. Steak was cold, tough, and very fatty. Waiter knew nothing about the wine pairing.

    The food and overall experience were good, but the slow service during a busy evening made it difficult for the experience to be perfect. We were seated fairly quickly for our 7:15 reservation, but it felt like an unusually long time before our waitress came over to greet us and take our drink orders. I also noticed that the surrounding tables were receiving attentive service, with their waiters and waitresses providing detailed explanations and full service, while ours seemed to be doing the bare minimum. Our waitress was nice, but the service was noticeably lacking. There were no check-ins, no mention of specials, and no allergy warnings or other details that I overheard being provided to other tables. We also experienced a lengthy wait when it came time to pay the check. I understand that she was also handling another table that apparently took a very long time to order and asked about nearly everything on the menu, so I can give her some grace for that portion of the evening. However, even after our credit card was processed, it took quite a while for it to be returned. Ultimately, what should have been a great birthday dinner turned into a much longer evening than expected. We had a 7:15 reservation and didn’t leave until 9:30 or later. The food was good, but the inconsistent and slow service took away from what could have otherwise been an excellent experience.

    The worst part of the Grandview is actually getting there on the windy, narrow Mt. Hamilton Road. Once you arrive, you're rewarded with great service; good, filling food; and, of course, the grand view. You have the option of a window view or sitting outside. We had brunch in early November, so we opted for outside. There was a slight breeze, but they also have gas heaters. The place is fun, filled with black and white photos of 1950s icons like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Aretha Franklin, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren. The owners are Italian immigrants. Of course, that means that the restaurant's menu is largely Italian along with a good serving of beef and steak options. My friend wanted something "light," so he chose the French toast. I thought that would be boring, but instead, he had a large serving topped with fruit and creme anglaise. My partner ordered a French dip, which he enjoyed. I'm not much of a red meat eater, so I opted for the salmon Benedict, which had plenty left over for the next day. We were so thrilled with the service that we ordered three desserts to go.

    Loved the service (thanks to Marty!), loved the food and his suggestions were spot on. It was a birthday celebration and our table was very small and tight space right at entrance of the outdoor seating which felt it was a last minute decision. I just wished we were seated elsewhere away from that. One point of improvement though, we love wines and would have loved to have been represented or shown the bottles before pouring our pairing wines with each course. Over all, excellent and can’t wait to visit again. Thanks Marty!

    We had an outstanding experience at Grandview Restaurant from the moment we walked in! The host greeted us warmly and invited us to enjoy a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. The bartender was incredibly helpful and accommodating, offering us a few wine tastings before we settled on a couple of cocktails. Once seated, our server welcomed us and walked us through the evening’s specials. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful in guiding us through the menu and selecting our entrees. The sunset view from the restaurant was absolutely incredible and made the perfect backdrop for celebrating our wedding anniversary. Between the beautiful ambiance, exceptional service, and quality of the food, everything exceeded our expectations. Grandview Restaurant delivered a memorable evening, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend!
