Dinah's Poolside Restaurant

We had a really nice evening dining and walking around afterwards inside the hotel areas. The fact that the restaurant name has “poolside” in it got our attention and we were looking for American cuisine on Google. Once we approached the restaurant it really lightened up our eyes, the environment is nearly perfect. If you want to sit indoors you have warm places with fair lighting, if you want to sit near the pool you can as well. The foods are just delicious and of fair price. Truffle fries are the best! I would recommend this restaurant and maybe this hotel (without being a hotel guest) to anyone who visits Palo Alto or just want to dine in the area. Thai style and the ambience are a plus!

Visited the restaurant only. Nice poolside setting, friendly restaurant staff. Large selection of delicious lunch items.

Restaurant review only as we stopped by to have a cocktail and Dinah's salad w/chicken as we were going to The Sea later for dinner. The service was good except for they forgot to give us silverware. The Mimosa and Mai Tai were very good and so was the salad. We split the salad and it was a generous portion. The eating area was nice and relaxing as the weather was sunny. The dining area is next to the pool. If it gets cold they have heat lamps.

Eating lunch by the pool felt like being on vacation even when I was only 10 miles from home. The service was extremely friendly.

The burger was pretty blah

The property is very clean and the staff was very friendly and courteous. I only have one complaint and it is truly minor. I wish that the 3rd floor room would have had an actual balcony to step onto.

I found this via Google Maps (thanks Google!). Four of us sat at a poolside table in the evening- thankfully they had several heaters and one of those made a huge difference 'cos it was chilly that evening. The food? Two of us had fish and chips, and it was delicious.
