This place is really a fun little "in the know" place. It's not really advertised anywhere and you wouldn't just stumble into it. It's both elegant, and casual, ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Great east-facing view of the valley and the bay in a historic building. Good food at fair prices and the management works hard to encourage regular visits with an active event calendar. It would be great to see Van's go through a ... more on Yahoo! Travel

If you live nearby, this place is worth a visit. This is especially true if you're on a date.

The view from the Belmont Hills is very pretty, but expect to pay a bit more for your average food as a result.

The service was great, food outstanding. And what a view upstairs. more on CitySearch

This is a fun, funky old school place. The portions are very generous -- the prime rib, while not the best I've had, certainly was HUGE. Appetizers and sides ... more on CitySearch

First of all, the directions given by the website were wrong and we had to find the place by default. We were seated promptly, and the service was great as was the view. Although the portions were more than ample, we all felt that ... more on CitySearch

Want to be ripped off? Want food that all tastes like it was cooked on the same grill? Want a salad that has brown lettuce and sour dressing? ... more on CitySearch

We tried appitizers, salad, entree, etc. All was terrible. I had the blackened Catfish and all I could taste was char. No flavor!!! The stuffed mushrooms were mediocre at best. To finish off the night, we had the coffee. Folgers instant ... more on CitySearch
