Roja Los Altos

We were promptly seated at a comfortable table. Water and menus came quickly. The pace was quite comfortable. The featured wine from Small Vines was an excellent Pinot. We shared the Pear and Arugula salad, a delicious start. The bread service was very good. My wife ordered the trout, seasoned and cooked to perfection. The skin was crispy and remained crisp through the last bite. I had the scallops, also cooked and seasoned perfectly. The service and overall hospitality were outstanding and very relaxing.Looking forward to our next visit!

Formerly called ASA, and I didn't like, but wanted to give their revamp a try anyway.Came at 5 when it first open and it was not crowded. People didn't start arriving until like after 6ish.Has indoor and outdoor seating.Yelp reviews gave them horrible customer service reviews, but we had good service.Kid friendly surprisingly! Has plastic cups with lid, high chair, and changing station in restroom. - oh the things you look out for once you're a parent lolWe ordered all basic stuff so our 2 YO can share too. The food was decently good.Also a plus since it's next to the food hall. Got some ice cream after at Pennys.

Lovely restaurant- great service, good food and wine.I would go back for sure. Didn't care for the pork chop which was dry, but hubby had the lamb shank which was great -

OK we will wait for more wine options, but I should mention that the food was excellent (my wife got some fish special and is still raving about it!!)

This spot is a recent re-branding of ASA. 5 stars for our server! He was so friendly, warm and attentive and heightened the dining experience. I also very much appreciated the generous wine pours from him :) We started with the lobster roll, which was delicious- lightly creamy lobster mix atop a crisp buttery bread. The Duck fat potatoes were crisped to perfection. I enjoyed the rainbow trout, though I thought the sauce with the bell peppers and sauteed kale was a too creamy/heavy, almost like a curry. Shephards pie isn't really my thing, but my husband really enjoyed their version with the creamy mashed potatoes atop a mushroom blend. I also thought the mushroom blend was too greasy. Overall, I thought the food was very good, but I appreciate when the flavoring isn't reliant on grease. Elegant interior perfect for a date night, we enjoyed our al fresco dining.

Asa is back rebranded and in a new avatar as Roja. The meal and drinks were on point. Everything from the lobster roll, pork belly to the chicken entree was great. The ambiance is causal nice with indoor and outdoor seating options which at this time of the year is awesome. I will be coming back for sure.

Overall a 3.5. The black cod was my favorite dish of the night. Least favorite was the duck fat fries which were soggy. The wine bottles are very reasonably priced.

The two salads were effectively piled with flavorless / dressing-less arugula / mixed greens that were not thoroughly cleaned for wilting leaves. My regrets in ordering both of them. Apart from the waiter who takes orders, who appears to be mentioned in other Yelp reviews that mirror my lack of enthusiasm, the rest of the staff including a lady at the front and the numerous staff attending tables to switch plates and silverware were exceptionally polite and respectful. The potato terrine was wonderfully crispy; amazing texture. The crème fraîche pairing was perfect. The lobster brioche was beautifully plated with floral garnishes but the lobster itself was watery and diluted. The pork belly was hard and overly sweet, and tasted like a mockery of Asian fusion food. Beautiful outdoor ambiance with live music from afar, but the waiter's strange behavior coupled with lack of attention to quality of food beyond plating was a disappointment. Was excited about trying "modern California cuisine" with a mix of European & Asian influences but unfortunately the execution was poor.

Great food, excellent ambience! Service was excellent. Had a great time.All good perfectly cooked

Roja is a very nice place for a good meal, whether casual or on a date. The ambiance is very nice and there is a section in the back where you can sit and observe the kitchen. The decor is modern and it is very open and clean. The food is good. We ordered the beef wellington which was huge and perfectly done. The pastry was crispy and the meat was tender. Two of us shared it and we still had some leftover. The scallops were tasty and the presentation was nice. The highlight of the meal for me was the butter. It is to die for. You have to order the bread and butter separately but it is worth it. The bread is super soft and warm and the butter is creamy with nice brown butter umami flavor. For dessert, we shared a bread pudding. It comes deconstructed so I felt like I was eating french toast but tasty none the less. Roja is a great add to Los Altos and the chef is definitely talented.
