Atmosphere: Good for a romantic Jazz themed night out, little noisy though. I Like the interiors and the musicOrder: Grilled chickenPresentation: PlainPortion: GoodService: OkTaste: Being too hungry I finished it all. The chicken tasted so good at the beginning, but towards the second half I realized it is kind of boring cause there’s no sauce or dip or veg or pickles, just the mashed potatos which tasted ok. I would like it if the drinks were refillable.Price: Ok
Awesome great meals there……….Los Altans keep it full, partly because there is no alternative, partly because the food is safe harbor, partly because every night is Cougar night… (perfume sometimes takes down the great wood-fired aroma) Mostly though it’s just damn good, and you have to tip your hat to the management for pulling off such quality in high volume, bringing it home night after night to hundreds of covers.
Just back from another great night at LAG. Consistently good food at Los Altos Grill, but the real gems are the super professional waitstaff, who are knowledgeable and efficient. We are foodies who lived a number of years in Europe and are quite picky about service. LAG gets it right every time. Waiters with just the right amount of sass and expertise to make the meal fun. Yolanda in particular can keep up with the likes of us and never miss a beat in service. We will be returning. Wish it didn’t book up so quickly.
We had four great meals. Good service, nice menu selections.
Los Altos Grill Wine List Review. This is an update to our review from January 2012. If you are looking for a restaurant on the Peninsula that has great food and a wine list with mark-ups of ONLY $5 to $20 OVER RETAIL then check this place out. The problem with the Los Altos Grill is that it is always packed, but enjoy a few glasses of wine at the bar while you wait for a table, and have your elevator pitch ready because you will probably be sitting next to a high powered executive or venture capitalist. BTW – they don’t charge a corkage fee, but why bring a bottle when the wine list is loaded with compelling options. As with all VinoServant reviews, you will see the price at the restaurant followed by the mark-up over retail, and if applicable, a rating from one of the publications listed below (2008 Schramsberg, Blanc de Blancs | $36 | 1.4x | WS 91). Mark up of 1.4x translates into a retail price of $25 a bottle, Wine Spectator rated this wine 91 points and it is one of our Top Picks at Los Altos Grill.International Wine Cellar – IWC | VinoServant Top Pick – TP | Wine Advocate – WA | Wine Enthuisiast – WE | Wine Spectator – WS | Wilfred Wong – WW |Top 15 Wines at Los Altos Grill2008 Schramsberg, Blanc de Blancs | $36 | 1.4x | WS 91 | TP2010 Pride Mountain, Sonoma County, Viognier | $38 | 1.0x 2010 Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc | $45 | 1.1x 2009 Far Niente, Estate, Chardonnay | $55 | 1.3x | WS 922007 Domaine Serene, Jerusalem Hill Vineyard, Willamette Valley, Pinot Noir | $85 | 1.0x | WS 922009 Frank Family, Napa Valley, Zinfandel | $29 | 1.1x 2006 Altamura, Napa Valley, Sangiovese | $55 | 1.1x | WA 922007 Nickel & Nickel, Suscol Ranch, Merlot | $48 | 1.2x | WS 862006 Robert Keenan, Cabernet Sauvignon | $35 | BELOW RETAIL | WA 90 2006 Round Pond, Cabernet Sauvignon | $45 | BELOW RETAIL | WE 922007 Pahlmeyer, Napa Valley, Proprietary Red | $90 | BELOW RETAIL | WA 96 & WS 95 2007 Altamura, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon | $95 | 1.1x | WA 95 & WS 96 2008 Darioush, Signature, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon | $98 | 1.1x | WA 902004 Dunn, Howell Mountain, Cabernet Sauvignon | $130 | 1.2x | WA 942008 Opus One | $190 | BELOW RETAIL | WS 92 & JS 94VINOSERVANT’S TOP WINE VALUES AT THE LOS ALTOS GRILL Sparkling Wines6 selections that range in price from $35 to $802006 Iron Horse, Wedding Cuvee | $52 | 1.3x | WA 91Henriot, Souverain Brut, Reims, France, Non Vintage | $58 | 1.7x | WA 88White Wines32 selections that range in price from $24 to $762009 Swanson, Oakville, Pinot Grigio | $24 | 1.3×2009 Dog Point, Marlborough, Sauvignon Blanc | $28 | 1.6×2009 Cliff Lede, Napa Valley, Sauvignon Blanc | $35 | 1.6x | WS 922010 Cakebread, Napa Valley, Sauvignon Blanc | $36 | 1.4×2009 Macrostie, Sonoma Coast, Chardonnay | $32 | 1.6×2010 Rombauer, Carneros, Chardonnay | $50 | 1.7x | WS 912008 Shafer, Red Shoulder Ranch, Carneros, Chardonnay | $60 | 1.3x | WS 90 | TP2009 Brewer-Clifton, Santa Rita Hills, Chardonnay | $65 | 2.0x | WA 922009 Paul Hobbs, Russian River, Chardonnay | $66 | 1.7x | WA 902009 Kistler, Les Noisetiers, Sonoma Coast, Chardonnay | $76 | 1.5xRed Wines88 selections that range in price from $28 to $2402009 Sequana, Sarmento, Santa Lucia Highlands, Pinot Noir | $34 | 1.1x | WS 83 | TP2009 Romilily, Russian River Valley, Pinot Noir | $40 | 1.3×2010 Testarossa, Santa Lucia Highlands, Pinot Noir | $48 | 1.2x 2009 Foxen, Santa Maria Valley, Pinot Noir | $50 | 1.4x | WS 89 | TP2008 Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir | $55 | 1.5x | WS 862007 David Bruce, Santa Cruz Mountains, Pinot Noir | $55 | 2.0×2008 Radio-Coteau, La Neblina, Sonoma Coast, Pinot Noir | $75 | 1.5x | IWC 922009 Dumol, Russian River Valley, Pinot Noir | $90 | 1.3x | WS 872006 Storry, Rusty Ride, Santa Cruz, Zinfandel | $35 | 1.3x | WW 912009 Rombauer, North Coast, Zinfandel | $42 | 1.4×2008 Chateau Montelena, Napa Valley, Zinfandel | $40 | 1.4x | WA 862010 Orin Swift, The Prisoner, Napa Valley, Zinfandel Blend | $42 | 1.1x | WS 90 | TP2009 Brown Estate, Napa Valley, Zinfandel | $52 | 1.6×2007 Showket, Sangiovese | $36 | 1.0x | TP2007 JC Cellars, Ventana, Monterey, Syrah | $44 | 1.5x | WS 882009 Lewis Cellars, Ethan’s, Napa Valley, Syrah | $49 | 1.1x | WS 94 | TP2007 Swanson, Napa Valley, Merlot | $42 | 1.7x | WA 872007 Paradigm Napa Valley Merlot | $54 | 1.25×2008 Shafer, Napa Valley, Merlot | $65 | 1.5x | WA 922008 Pride Mountain Vineyards, Merlot | $75 | 1.3x | WA 90 & WS 88 | TP2009 Chappellet, Mountain Cuvee, Cabernet Sauvignon | $38 | 1.5×2007 Titus, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon | $55 | 1.6x | WA 862008 Ghost Block, Estate, Oakville, Cabernet Sauvignon | $80 | 1.5x | WS 932006 Silver Oak, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon | $150 | 1.7x | WS 882006 Ridge Vineyards, Montebello, Cabernet Sauvignon | $170 | 1.5x | WA 9401 Mar, 2012Wine List Review. If you are looking for a restaurant on the Peninsula that has great food and a wine list with mark-ups of ONLY $5 to $20 OVER RETAIL then check this place out. Our advice is to duck into this upscale casual establishment and order a few bottles off the list. If you like what you drink, then go buy a few bottles and put them away. The problem with the Los Altos Grill is that it is always packed, but enjoy a few drinks at the bar while you wait for a table, and have your elevator pitch ready because you will probably be sitting next to a high powered executive or venture capitalist. BTW – they don’t charge a corkage fee, but why bring a bottle when the wine list is loaded with compelling options. For example, The Los Altos Grill has the 2006 Robert Keenan, Cabernet Sauvignon for $35 and the 2006 Round Pond, Cabernet Sauvignon for $45, and these represent the two best restaurant wine deals that we have come across in the Bay Area. Those are exceptional wines at great prices.VINOSERVANT’S TOP WINE VALUES AT THE LOS ALTOS GRILL RESTAURANTSparkling Wines6 selections that range in price from $35 to $802008 Schramsberg, Blanc de Blancs | $36 | 1.4xHenriot, Souverain Brut, Reims, France, Non Vintage | $55 | 1.7xWhite Wines32 selections that range in price from $24 to $762010 Pride Mountain, Sonoma County, Viognier | $38 | 1.0×2009 Dog Point, Marlborough, Sauvignon Blanc | $28 | 1.6×2009 Cliff Lede, Napa Valley, Sauvignon Blanc | $35 | 1.6×2010 Cakebread, Napa Valley, Sauvignon Blanc | $36 | 1.4×2010 Merry Edwards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc | $45 | 1.1x 2009 Macrostie, Sonoma Coast, Chardonnay | $32 | 1.6×2010 Rombauer, Carneros, Chardonnay | $50 | 1.7x 2008 Shafer, Red Shoulder Ranch, Carneros, Chardonnay | $60 | 1.3×2008 Paul Hobbs, Russian River, Chardonnay | $66 | 1.4xRed Wines88 selections that range in price from $27 to $2402009 Romilily, Russian River Valley, Pinot Noir | $40 | 1.3×2009 Testarossa, Santa Lucia Highlands, Pinot Noir | $48 | 1.3×2008 Merry Edwards Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir | $55 | 1.5×2009 Dumol, Russian River Valley, Pinot Noir | $90 | 1.3×2009 Frank Family, Napa Valley, Zinfandel | $29 | 1.1×2008 Chateau Montelena, Napa Valley, Zinfandel | $40 | 1.4×2009 Orin Swift, The Prisoner, Napa Valley, Zinfandel Blend | $42 | 1.2×2009 Brown Estate, Napa Valley, Zinfandel | $52 | 1.6×2007 Showket, Sangiovese | $36 | 1.0×2006 Altamura, Napa Valley, Sangiovese | $55 | 1.1×2007 Swanson, Napa Valley, Merlot | $42 | 1.7×2007 Paradigm Napa Valley Merlot | $54 | 1.25×2008 Shafer, Napa Valley, Merlot | $65 | 1.5×2008 Pride Mountain Vineyards, Merlot | $75 | 1.3×2006 Robert Keenan, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon | $35 | 0.75×2009 Chappellet, Mountain Cuvee, Cabernet Sauvignon | $38 | 1.3×2006 Round Pond, Rutherford, Cabernet Sauvignon | $45 | 0.77×2008 Ghost Block, Estate, Oakville, Cabernet Sauvignon | $80 | 1.5×2007 Altamura, Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon | $95 | 1.1×2004 Dunn, Howell Mountain, Cabernet Sauvignon | $130 | 1.2x
Nice interior. Only busy restaurant in downtown los altos. No corkage for wine list. Menu is all over the place, not sure what direction the exec chef is going. Service is so so
