Evolution Restaurant & Bar, Santa Clara CA

I was here bc of an event at the convention center. Their service was super slow, we waited 10+ minutes for our drinks when more than half of the tables were empty. I got an expensive wishy washy cup of tea and no apologies for their late service. $12 for a to-go paper cup and a cheap tea bag.

Food was OK, service was not that great, and I don’t like to be gouged, and that is what this hotel does. Just because minimum wage went up, doesn’t mean you should tack on a separate charge for that. You charge enough in your prices to cover that.

This review is for the bar.not the separate restaurant or the sushi bar.
Food is ok, beer and liquor selection is pretty good, service was good. Only real downside is that everything is expensive. About what you'd expect for a hotel bar, but still. Also, it seems they adjust prices upwards when there are events at or near the hotel.

Great food and service, Both American food and Sushi was a nice surprise, 9th visit, had the steak and cheese fries, preferred mine with no pico, very good and different, Tyson provided great service at the bar, had sushi and gyoza, very fresh and good, didn’t like the Japanese pickles though, vegetable pizza was awesome, hope to be back soon, thank you!

I ordered from both troyu sushi and evolution, no problem. Yes, hotel prices. Service was great. My order of miso soup, blossom roll, and beet salad was okay. I would not have a problem ordering there again, but we are trying other food on this short trip.
