Reviews for Shoreline Lake American Bistro in Mountain View, CA

Very pleasant environment with dining tables outdoor overlooking the lake where people having fun with various water sports.

I used to love this place before the pandemic. Since then the menu has changed (fewer choices, it seems) and all the cups,... crockery, flatware etc. have been swapped out for disposable alternatives which is disappointing. The bottleneck at theordering counter hasn't been fixed and meals now need to be collected from a counter instead of being delivered to customers attheir tables. There are no discounted coffee refills any more either, so I'm not seeing any positives to the changes yet.... My avocado toast was generously sized and fresh with tasty multi-seed bread, but the toast was cold. The location is of coursestill fantastic and the prices are very fair, so it's still a very decent choice for a relaxed breakfast with a view. Read more

Wow, the food here is good! The view of the lake when eating makes it even better! You can see SUP boarders, sailboats, and many... Canadian geese. Food is a tiny bit pricy, but delicious. Read more

Great place for a lunch in a sunny day. Food is good, but simple. There are plenty of umbrellas, as well as birds trying to grab... the food from your plate - maybe something could be done to prevent it, this the ratinf Read more

The cafe is cozy, it has a very nice location: the beautiful lake view right in front of your eyes. One can sit inside as well... as outside. We ordered two teas and a slice of cake, we paid around 12 usd. However, they forgot our order, which was notobvious to us, so we had to wait forever.. it was a bit disappointing, but in the end we solved it. Besides, I have one morenegative remark: the food and beverages are served in plastic/paper containers, which leads to a lot of waste , check one of theattached photos :( Otherwise, it was overall a nice experience.

Overpriced food that doesn't taste that good, screaming children, and someone literally changing their toddlers diaper right in... front of the restaurant. I ordered fish and chips and got three pieces of fish on a bed of fries, all of which was cold. One ofthe pieces of fish (im being generous by calling it that) was literally only the beer batter that had been fried. Overall, food,customer service, and vibes were all off. The only saving grace is the view which, quite frankly, doesn't make up for everythingelse that is wrong with this resturant. Read more

Amazing place to enjoy your lunch/ brunch! The place is bit pricy but it?s worth the view if the weather is good. As we are... vegetarian- only black bean burger ???? with salad matches with our diet but it?s pretty good and always hits the spot.Definitely work the place and taste. Their desserts are so so intimidating but pricy as well. Black bean burger with both sidesalads ???? : 15$ Read more

We went for a walk around shoreline in one of the trails and ended up starving at 3pm so stopped at this cute cafe for a quick... bite and we were happy that they closed at 4pm woohoo. We had the shoreline burger (which was great although the bun was alittle big) that came with fries (happy me!!!), the veg burger (which was a bit dry), the veg panini with red peppers which wassuperb and the grilled chicken sandwich was great too. We were psyched they had the stone IPA as well!!! When we ordered the guywas super nice to tell us the food we were originally ordering was too much so that was much appreciated!!! Good food and greatview outside. It can get loud as there are couples with kids but we didn't mind. Read more
