Great atmosphere for a date night! We ordered the salmon tartare, rose tteokbokki, and kfc cauliflower for appetizers. All of them were great but I was most impressed by the tteokbokki!We followed with the short ribs and the basque cheesecake dessert. They were good but the appetizers were more impressive. I was also disappointed that they no longer did the sweet potato chiffon cake :(

The drinks are absolutely delicious! And the brussel sprouts with candied anchovies with fried rice cake is phenomenal. I got the Lychee De Leche drink, which is amazing. And well worth the price. The Good Juju drink is a soju based drink with egg whites and I love it. Love the addition of the hearts on the drink. My only critique would be the "rose tteokbokki" it tastes good but it didn't have enough gochujang. In the future, I would ask customers to rate how spicy they want it to be and can adjust the gochujang accordingly. This dish wasn't spicy at all which was a little bit of a let down. But I love the addition of cheese, greens, and corn with this dish. The service is amazing. The waitress was very attentive and kind. And the ambiance is perfect for a romantic date or a night out.

I really enjoyed coming here! The service was fantastic. I got the Meloncholy, which was sweet, exactly the type of cocktail that I like. My table also got the fries and the maitake mushroom fritters, which were also fantastic. The food definitely tasted like it was high quality, and it felt great to support local farmers. Would definitely come again!

Great service and tasty cocktails! Their food menu is very limited and geared more towards bar goers. The main entrees we got - branzino and the ribs did not disappoint either. But I would avoid the crispy wings next time, I could only taste grease in each bite.

Ambiance: I love the details of the bar to silverware, everything is in fact beautiful. It's a semi low lit restaurant where you can enjoy date night to a chill place to vibe after work. Service: Staff is attentive and hospitality really shows here. Parking: People come and go frequently where you are able to find parking and there is also a parking garage if needed. Drinks and food: Drinks are beautifully crafted and food is handled with love here by the chef. Bartenders are knowable about the ingredients and surely spruce them up. My favorite cocktail here is the *lychee de leche"
Good spot for a quick drink and light snacks. Best thing on the menu are the fried brussel sprouts , octopus, and crispy mushrooms. Everything else left a little bit to be desired. Their drinks are not bad though. They have a special called " Ivan special" in which the server will ask what your favorite base alcohol is and they will make a drink that caters to your preference. One downside is the servers or hosts don't really communicate to each other. I had a reservation and when I arrived four different people came up to me and asked me what my reservation was under before I got seated. Anyhow, would recommend for a quick bite or drink if you're in the area. Would be nice if they expanded their menu for additional offerings though. The place is located in the lobby floor of the hotel in Cupertino square so it might be a bit hard to find.

the new menu is really great, and a better deal than it used to be!the dip for the chicken wings could use some heat, maybe chopped peppers?

Bar Bon Mot has jumped to one of my top 3 favorite restaurants overall. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** Phenomenal! The reservation system wasn't working when I checked (looked fully booked for the next few months), so we walked in but were seated right away. The owner (I'm assuming) was very warm and asked us where we'd like to sit and checked on us when he saw us looking around. Our server was the sweetest and kindest woman ever, checked on us consistently, and made our celebratory date night incredibly memorable -- her recommendations were also so spot on! She made the evening so special! Even the chef came out at the end of our meal to ask us how the experience was. We felt so taken care of and were surprised at how upscale the dinner felt even though this is Bon Mot's more "casual" menu. **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** Moody, romantic interior that makes you feel hidden away from the busier Main St Cupertino plaza. The tables have bag hooks which is a thoughtful detail I always look for. **Price & portion, 5/5** Prices are all very reasonable and the portions are great for sharing -- perfect for trying more things! **Presentation, 5/5** Gorgeous and picture perfect -- you can absolutely see the attention to detail. **Taste, 5/5** WOW! Every. Single. Dish. Was executed so well!! Can't wait to come back and try everything else on their menu :) - Smoked salmon tartare, 5/5: Although smoked, the salmon isn't too salty and pairs excellently with the mashed avocado and crispy rice chips. It's flavorful but light enough you keep coming back to it between bites of other apps. - Crispy mentaiko, 5/5: It looks unassuming, but the mushroom is insanely crispy and just bursting with flavor. The star here might be the creme fraiche ranch sauce though -- it's tangy, bright, and balances out the savory crunchy mushroom so you keep wanting to eat more. - Brussel sprouts, 4/5: I didn't expect the anchovies to work here, but they're salty, crispy, and carmelized and add so much layered flavor to the dish. The brussels themselves I would've preferred with more crispy outer layers though. - Tteokbokki, 5/5: This is a spicy one! Despite having such a low spice tolerance and needing sips of water between each bite, the amazing savory flavors come through. They're satisfyingly chewy without being too dense, and doesn't burn so much that the spiciness is the only thing you taste. - Grilled octopus, 4/5: The octopus wasn't as tender as I was hoping, but the flavors were great and it was such a visually stunning plate. - Sweet plum sauce pork ribs, 6/5: Holy cow, I think these were the best pork ribs I've ever had. They had great distribution of fat without being overly fatty or oily, were cooked so perfectly, and were soooo juicy and tender. The sauce was the perfect amount of savoriness and sweetness and covered everything without being too messy or taking away from the fantastic pork. This is a must order! **Other notes** Restrooms are in the hotel lobby out the door to the left (if you're facing the bar).

I've always wanted to check out Bon Mot and they had recently just reopened with a brand new menu. My partner and I had booked a dinner reservation for an early weekend night. It is located in this plaza with a bunch of other food places so parking can be tricky depending on the time of day. The ambience and the vibes of the restaurant were immaculate and make for the perfect place for a date night. We were seated immediately and all the staff and waiters were super friendly and welcoming. For drinks, we ordered: Yuzu Merry Me, Lychee de Leche, Kick'N Banana and Old Fashioned. The drinks did not disappoint but my favorite was definitely the lychee. For appetizers/small bites we got the smoked salmon tartar and the chicken wings. The only thing that I didn't really like was that the salmon tartar was super salty but it was still pretty good. The chicken wing portion was pretty huge and was also delicious with the sweet garlic sauce on the side. For our mains, I got the coconut shrimp rice and my partner got the pork ribs. The portion size for both were huge and we were more than full. I was surprised by how big the mains were since most of the higher end/trendy places give really small portions. The only downside was that the rice for the shrimp plate was really hard. Overall, I would highly recommend checking Bon Mot out and I will definitely be revisiting again. The service was great, food and drinks were delicious with great portion sizes.
