The Emerald Hour 1625 North Shoreline Boulevard, Mountain View, CA 94043

"The drinks are interesting and pricy, which make one to expect more. While the drink, "Don't call me shirley templeton", got me excited with a complex aftertaste, it lacked the momentum for me to try another. After tax and mandatory gratuity, comes around $25 per. That got me thinking, a few more of those could book you a night at this hotel during low season, but I digress. The bar stools will need to up the comfort level for those without a soft tush. Otherwise, this quiet spot is perfect for a conversation."

"The Emerald Hour had unique and complex cocktails that were well crafted and very delicious. Great atmosphere and great service. The prices were up there, but the cocktails had quite an array of ingredients, and involved some unique techniques in their creation the price does seem justified."

"Modern, kinda swanky, hotel bar/restaurant with lots of seating options. More intimate comfy chairs and loveseats in the back. More informal high tables and TVs in front. Near the fireplace and/or out by the pool are nice too. Consistently good craft cocktails. Small plates pricey, but delicious. Excellent service."

"This is a newly opened stylish restaurant with amazing food and cocktails! Highly recommended! Service is great and food is delicious. Cocktails are high quality! We tried oysters, beef tartar, octopus, charcuterie, wague burger and pork cheeks(sooo tender)."

"Highly recommend! They opened recently. I am so happy to share their food. Cocktails are so good, very tasty and high quality. Foods are also very good. They have a lot of small bites for drink but there’s dinner plate as well. (Steak, salmon and fish) Cozy, clean, comfortable mood. I want to visit again for drink and small bites!!"
