Very nice view and the jambalaya special was very good and a decent portion size. The ice cream and pastry are slightly over priced. It seems like a very beautiful area when weather is warm for hangout

First time at this location for a friend's birthday event. From the moment we arrived till the end of the event the front staff employees were extremely hospitable. Every request and accommodation we asked for was met with sincerely. Shout out to Christina and Cesar for being so attentive to our needs! You guys made our birthday girls day!

This is a cute spot, with friendly service and many delicious food & beverage options. Close proximity to strolling paths and you can usually nab a parking spot... even on the weekends. I'd recommend this restaurant mostly to families or brunch gatherings with friends. Definitely get dessert!

My husband and I visited Shoreline Lake for a quick bike ride the other weekend, and I was surprised at home much there is to do in the area! Shoreline Lake seems like a great date or lunch spot, where you can go on a hike or do an activity, and then have a snack. There was free parking in front of the restaurant, and from there we were able to unload and explore the many trails around the lake. There's seating at the restaurant both inside and outside, and picnic tables near the restaurant if you bring your own food. The restaurant also had lockers and lake equipment rentals. For lunch, I had a chicken sandwich. The baguette was nice and the homemade chips were excellent. The flavors on the sandwich were just ok for me, so I would try the veggie burger next time. My husband had the breakfast sandwich, but my favorite part of the meal was the granola he got with it! Service was a little bit slow and there's not a ton of variety in the options, but the quality is good for the price. We will be back for a date another time. It also seems like a nice place to take family or out of town friends.

Shoreline Lake American Bistro is one of a kind. What a gem and true Bay Area treat. As I WFH at times, Shoreline Lake American Bistro offers a peaceful and productive ambiance. From a wide variety of lakeside dining options (I. E. Sandwiches, Soups, Salads), a blissful panoramic outlook of Shoreline Lake and reliable internet access - Thank you, Shoreline American Bistro!

This place have a very nice seating with waterfront and Parisian vibes. They have French music to enjoy the moment and a variety of brunch and snacks. We had coffee and croissant pudding and both were delicious. The only reason am giving a 4 stars is the service. The server who took our order and served us seemed a little rude or maybe not in the mood. .

A great outdoor place to get some delicious brunch or meal. One of our favorite spots for brunch, this one is always fun and has good food. We had a reservation so were seated immediately and joined the line to order. It was pretty crowded and we took a while to get to ordering, but the food did arrive quickly after. This time around we ordered their egg Benedict, orange juice, Thai Salad (minus the chicken), shoestring fried and Avocado Toast. The salad was amazing, the fries were great and so was the avocado toast. The Benedict could have been better for sure. They do minus items from the dish if you like but it's pretty insanely price to add an avocado to the salad etc. The salad was truly amazing and I would be definitely going back to get some more of that and enjoy their Vegetarian Burger. A perfect deck to enjoy some food while watching the folks on the lake. They do have a lot of umbrellas that help on a sunny day. Love how breezy and beautiful this place is all the time. Definitely one of my personal favorites

Pleasantly surprised by the nice new tray for the cheeseburger. This place was to-go boxes only for a while, but now there are real plates and utensils again. The cheeseburger was much tastier than I expected. I just wish it came with fries instead of salad. And the cheese was a little funky -- I might request something other than cheddar next time. The cheesecake was better than the chocolate cake, but didn't blow my mind. Maybe I'll try the flan or the chocolate tart next time. Environment is lovely, as always.
