It's alright. The food isn't anything special but it's not a bad place to be. $6 beers are a bit much when you're not drinking anything fancy or foreign.

I guess the thing to remember about Maltbys is that it classifies itself as a pub, so you ought to expect pub food (as Julia R pointed out in a previous review). Pub food has its own distinct style...

The epitomy of the average American restaurant. There is nothing exceptional here, including the poor service.

Ordered a Pyramid Hef on tap. It was poured from an open pitcher. Needless to say it was somewhat warm and flat. Is this the way the English like it?Ordered a burger at the bar. It was delivered to...

I thought, being in the heart of downtown Los Altos, that this place SHOULD be good. I'm sure there's some decent stuff on the menu -- I opted for the Greek salad. Despite having some lamb-tasting...

Let's look at this in a relative way.There are not a whole lot of places to get a beer in Los Altos, and so this should be taken into consideration when handing out stars.Also, I know the owner of...

This is an interesting place to check out in downtown Los Altos. I'd give it a 3.5, but it doesn't quite deserve a 4. I've been here on three separate occasions for brunch now and it's a nice place...

Tied in my book for 1st place: Best Fish-n-Chips in the Bay Area. Fries are some of the best I've ever had. And you can bring your dogs to summertime dinner in the front sidewalk dining area.
