Very convenient restaurant / bar located just off the lobby of a relative new and nicely appointed Holiday Inn just off Dixon Landing Road area of Milpitas.I always add "free breakfast" to my reservation through Expedia and it is so worth it.Waitstaff and servers pay extraordinary attention to breakfast patrons. Always very attentive to my needs. Pot of steaming hot coffee / orange juice / ice water. Food order is taken quickly and is served quickly. Travel coffee cup and lid, for my commute, is always proactively offered. Literally, better service than I've been given at some Michelin-starred venues ... I'm not kidding.Executive chef Angelique Kennedy does a fine job in getting out eggs / breakfast meats / toast out in a timely manner, always right off the grille, and eggs done to perfection (sunny side up). Never, ever have had a lackluster breakfast here.Quiet ambiance, with two TV's for early morning news shows for breakfast and sports during Happy Hour and Dinner.Stratus' made-to-order breakfast offerings are far superior to many of the "complimentary breakfast" offerings from hotels in the area. Hot fast real breakfasts, not fetch-your-own downscale pastries / bagels / canned juices / hard boiled eggs / boxed cereals, if you catch my drift (e.g., Larkspur Landing).BTW, the hotel itself is very nice, brand new, sleek, clean, quiet, well appointed, free WiFi and Samsung HD TV's. Very comfortable beds and nicely appointed bathrooms. Not the Holiday Inn you're accustomed to, for sure!!!Truly a delight, and not one I've been accustomed to as a business travel warrior for the last 40 some odd years!Five stars ... Ain't that something for a Holiday Inn!!!!!! https://bit.ly/398AYHg
