Adrestia - Sunnyvale

This is a secluded resting place in the middle of city. food is also enough to satisfy the eyes and mouth. it's very good place when i want to share my times with a good friends.

Food quality was below the prices charged for the food. For Christmas they had a fixed menu or you could order a la carte. Two of our party went with the fixed menu which consisted of a cucumber tea leaf salad, a roasted brisket, and a cardamon streusel cheesecake. Salad did not have any distinct flavor and had a lot of lettuce. The brisket was very tender but again, lacked of any flavor. The cheesecake was good. We did have appetizers. They label that part of the menu as For the Table which connotates several items. We ordered the cornbread skillet which was a small loaf of cornbread we could share among the table. We also order Empanada. We it arrived it was just 1 empanada about the size of a pot sticker...it was $15.00. The server never thought to share with us we would only get 1 empanada. Two of our party order the wagyu burgers and liked them. We also order half a roasted chicken and lastly we ordered the corvina nikkei. The fish was overcooked and tough. In addition to the so so food we had to pay for parking. They did not ask if we needed our tickets validated. After realizing that we had to pay for parking and it was $15 we went back in to check if the restaurant validated parking. They said they did but when the validated two of our party 's tickets only one worked on the way out. The other the validation did not work and had to pay the $15 to exit the parking garage.

Adrestia was a terrible experience. We arrived at 6pm and ordered around 620pm, waited until 720pm to ask about our food after which our waitress said it would be ready soon. Then, she came back out at 740 and said it would be another 20 or 25minutes, and that several of the dishes actually had ingredients that were no longer available so she asked if they could swap ingredients. We didn't get ultimately get our (not very palatable) food until 815pm.

The food was bad, same as service. Extra water bottle was included in check, when pointed out waiter started arguing that it’s not a mistake.

While dining, there was one other couple there. Not crowded or noisy. We enjoyed the cornbread. Hubby had the Wagyu Burger w/ fries. I had the lobster sando, empanada and mixed veggies. We also had the Chanti, (green tea infused) Gin Tonic and Far East Side cocktails. Would order the cornbread. sando, mixed veggies (roasted tasty), burger, sando Far East Side (refreshing) again on next visit. Enjoy!
