Reviews for Dinah's Poolside Restaurant in Palo Alto, CA
Pancake yummy service was great but it took a while to get food served.but nice atmosphere with fish ponds few feet away.
Tried numerous meals while there. Breakfast was always great. Dinner was never great… some was hardly edible. Spaghetti with... meatballs that were extremely over seasoned with oregano to my overdone burger. We also had to ask for each refill of waterbecause the wait staff would just walk right past your empty glass. I recommend breakfast but not dinner. Read more
We loved everything we have tried! Wagyu Burger was tender and juicy, fries were crispy and perfect seasoning. Fried Chicken was... different however tender and breading wasn’t too thick, corn frittes were yummy. Eggs Benedict was good, hash browns nice andcrispy. French toast was our favorite and the crème was to die for! Will be back to try the wings!! Definetly recommend for anymeal Read more
I love so much about Dinahs. It's a small boutique hotel with beautifully done landscaping. The garden areas are so pretty and... my kids live feeding the coi fish. It's such a treat for my kids and I to come overnight and swim all day. My only complaint isthere is alot to be desired as far as the restaurant goes which is huge for us. We like to order food and drinks at the pool butthe last few stays there are issues every time. Mostly with bad attitudes and a no one seems to want to take your order. Iusually get this feeling like the left doesn't k ow what the right is doing. It would be perfect if the restaurant experienceimproved. There's lots of room for it! Read more
Great food and service, for party of 27, that was celebrating our 50th Anniversary. Filet was grilled just right to medium... rare. Fried chicken, salmon, wagyu burger, and meatloaf were all also very good!! Ricardo and Alejandro were great servers andmanagers. All our requests were addressed promptly!! Would return in near future. Read more
Dinah's was a fun experience. Heated pool open til 10PM. Plenty of nice, kind staff members ready to help with a smile. Poolside... restaurant with seating, or you can order from the pool lounge chairs. Good food and really well made drinks. The suites aremuch more spacious than your average hotel room. A walk-in closet as well. Room service was quick and responsive. I really can'tsay enough about how impressed I was with Dinah's. Read more
My boyfriend visited me from New York, we stayed at a hotel down the road for the first night, we were driving and stopped in to... see this place. We immediately went and got our items and moved right in over here. We ate at the restaurant at least twice aday (I recommend the turkey sandwich!)(and sangria). We swam and had drinks poolside. Our door opened up to a small patio and agate that lead to the pool. The owner was helping out at the restaurant and was the one who made sure we got a room even thoughthey were quite full, she was very sweet. We walked around and looked at the baby ducks and plants. We didn't want to leave ???? Read more
Been here twice now and had good service the first time and good service the second that lead to it being odd. My service was... handled by Tonya, according to the receipt. She did check on me a couple times during my meal. I was eventually the only onethere and that's when she gave me my check then returned with it after getting my credit card. She was never to be seen againafter that. I had a pen with no ink and sat there for 10 or more minutes but she just never came out again. I have mobilityissues and was sitting at the end of the pool so didn't want to try to get her. I then yell over at a guy worker that showed upand motioned a pen, meaning I needed one. He then finds the server and I saw her standing there at the door. She gives him a pento give to me for some reason. The guy was a goofy nice guy and saw other guys just singing and working. Can't say anything badabout them but why was the girl just MIA after giving me my check? I saw her moving slowly around inside but never checked up onme at the end. That lonely handicapped dude guy just sitting out there by himself waiting for help. Read more
