"Again, thanks for the excellent service. We deal with many caterers, hotels, meeting facilities, etc. and excellent service is a rarity."   "Loved the shrimp, the waldorf salad and salmon. I'd say the Pleasanton Hotel did a grrrreat job!" "Many people have been walking around extolling praises for todays' feast". Lisa Duenas, Ellie Mae  12/14/06
 
"I have had the opportunity to work with your Chef and the staff of the Pleasanton Hotel for many different events and the service has always been professional and the food delicious. Whether a dinner at the restaurant or a winemaker dinner here in our Barrel Room, he creates some of the best food and wine pairings I've had the opportunity to taste. I would highly recommend them for any event you may  consider, be it on-site or off-site. "  Jennifer Fazio, Steven Kent Winery   3/21/07
