W XYZ Bar

Great place to have a drink, enjoy some light bites, good music and some great company. Julio is a fantastic bartender; friendly and attentive and really knows his stuff. He even helped me to find a new pinot noir to enjoy since they don't carry my favorite brand here. There is a firepit outside by the pool. They also have a hot tub, corn hole and lots of seating outside. Since the bar area was crowded, I decided to sit outside and enjoy my drink. Despite being swamped at the bar, little did I know that Julio was keeping an eye on me and was right on time with a fresh glass of wine just as I was taking my last sip. I greatly appreciate attentive service, and I was really impressed that, despite how busy he was, he made sure I was just as well taken care of as those that were seated in front of him at the bar.

Decent hotel bar in a decent hotel. While the beer tap list wasn't stunning, they did have one good, local IPA on tap and that's really all I needed.I sat down here after a long day of work and asked what they had on tap and the answer was: three IPAs, a lager, and two other beers I forget named by style rather than brewery and name. All the beers were things I'd had or wasn't interested in except for the Del Cielo IPA. I had to come back up and ask for the name of the IPA to figure out that it was What A Feelin'. The beer was actually really, really good and I haven't heard of or tried the brewery before.The actual ambiance of the bar is very hotel feel, but not in an entirely bad way.I also had the burger, which was good, but I'll credit that to the plus restaurant.

Located in the Aloft hotel in Newark, this bar is a classy and safe hangout for professionals. I attended a corporate event here where it was open bar with hors d'oeuvres served. The chicken and waffles, sliders, and nachos with guacamole were tasty. The room where food was served was well-decorated. Attendees enjoyed lounging around in the bar area with comfy seating as well as making use of the outdoor poolside tables. All together, the event was well put-together. Our bartender was very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere made for a relaxing yet professional environment. It allowed my department to have open discussions with team members. The gathering stimulated communication and a spirit of friendship.

The pork taco's fantastic, and the service was excellent. You don't find hotel bars with both combinations. The people next to me ordered the sliders they looked yummy. The bar itself was very nice for a lobby bar. Lots of space for seating and at the bar and lounging area.

Unfortunately the last time I went back in July seemed to be it's peak. Not sure what happened but we haven't had a good experience here ever since. The vibes are decent but the cocktails are meh. For the price per cocktail, I'd go to another bar that has better drinks. They also seem to always be out of a number of cocktails and we've stopped by on a Friday and Saturday evening previously. The cocktails I did have were a bit too sweet for my tastes (maybe too much syrup). If you do go here, I'd recommend ordering some classic simple cocktails instead of ordering off the menu if you're not into super sweet drinks.

Sorry to say, this place had gone way downhill on my last visit. Since Marriott took over, the W XYZ branding is gone and it's just "Aloft." The soggy fries were more like any other restaurant, and the soda was noticeably watered down. The steak cut has been downgraded to ribeye.I'm glad I was able to enjoy it when Starwood was striving to bring a premium experience to budget-conscious consumers. Now the budget part is more painfully obvious, and where I had gone out of my way to visit before, it now feels like an overpriced Denny's. Bye, Felicia.

Had high expectations for this place but we were very disappointed to say the least. Waited for 10min before we even saw a bartender working there. My wife had a tequila soda and I had a whiskey mule. Both drinks were awful and $14 each... Pass this place up and go somewhere else.

I stayed in Aloft Silicon Valley in May 2018 and came back again couple weeks ago and was still amazed by this cool and hospitable spot hiding in the hotel. Friendly staff, talented Chef, amazing service, and intimate atmosphere. Seared Ahi Tuna Salad and brown rice bowl are MUST HAVE. The tuna was cooked well but still beautifully raw in the center, extremely fresh and solid. I like the lemon vinaigrette too. The salmon brown rice bowl is also my favorite. The salmon was fresh and grilled perfect. The brown rice bowl was a little bit greasy but the flavor was soooooo good. They should change the name of this dish from brown rice bowl to something more attractive. The curry cauliflower was baked perfectly and the curry sauce was just so matched with cauliflower. The pasta was a little bit oily but it tasted so good so I still finished it. It's a good choice when you don't have mood for too much meat. The vanilla ice cream is also MUST TRY. Not too sweet, but very tasty. I even ask the Chef what brand it is. It turns out the Chef makes it himself with secret recipes. The BEST ice cream ever, no exaggeration!They also carry good alcohol. There is happy hours in the afternoon. And also live music on Tuesday evening!!!

You are located in between Napa and Paso Robles, the two greatest wine regions for Cabernet Sauvignon on the planet but the cab you serve from Argentina and tastes awful. Shame on you! I gave you 2 stars because the Cobb salad is decent. The rest of the food is just meh.

Miguel is amazing! I travel quite a bit as a doctor and I love getting home. Miguel does everything in His power to treat you like family, knows your name and even shakes your hand! Anything to make the bar your family dining room table. To corporate as an employee of 60 don't ever loose this one man show!
