"The brunch selection here is great, and the mimosas are fabulous as well. We've been here a couple of times now, and generally have met with better service than this particular time - the drink refills were slow to appear, as was the check. But this is not the normal experience for brunch, as we've had excellent service in the past."

"I needed a place on the peninsula with easy access to US101 for a business breakfast meeting. The Bay223 in the Hotel Sofitel was not only easy to get to, but we had a wonderful breakfast! The atmosphere was quiet enough for a great conversation and the food far exceeded by expectations!"

"The ambience was so serene and beautiful and we (us ladies with a party of 7) enjoyed it very much. Since I live in Redwood City it was nice for a change to not have to deal with the traffic and or parking trying to find such a nice Hotel to go to that wasn't located in the city. We tried the lunch menu at Bay 223 and felt the food could be better but I visited previouisly for the breakfast fare and felt it was very good so I was a little disappointed about the lunch menu. In any event I did want to point out that William our waiter was so attentive and fantastic that we really appreciated him and felt it necessary to comment accordingly. Also the rest of the staff at the Hotel were so welcoming...that ALONE is a reason to go visit..."

"Arrived at 12:15. We were seated promptly and indicated we were waiting for third party.
The waiter took our drink order and said he'd be back to take our order. At 12:30 the hostess informed us that our third party had called and would not be joining us. We asked the bus boy to send the waiter and a second hostess also. Still no waiter. My guest was very upset at the lack of service. It was now around 12:45 and still not waiter had come to take our order, offer more water or bread. When my guest decided it was time to leave all of a suddent the waiter arrived. It appears that our waiter was working in a seperate section of the restaurant and was not told by the hostess that our guest was not coming. Very poor communication and concern."

"We were looking for a restaurant between Palo Alto and San Mateo. The setting was beautiful and the food was delicious. Our experience was only capped by the outstanding service. I would come here again (and again)."

"Although a bit pricey, as is with all hotel restaurants, the food was pretty good. However, the service was excellent. Our server, Matthew I think his name was, was very friendly and helpful and even spent a few minutes chatting with us while he had free time."
