Located by Sunnyvale Sheraton by the intersection of 101 and 237, Faz Restaurant and Bar positions itself as white cloth dining restaurant with a pretty good selection of Mediterranean food and extensive wine list. The place is open daily for dinner from 6:30 to 10 pm, and the menu can be found on the official Web site http://www.fazrestaurants.com/menus/sunnyvale_menu.html
Faz greets you with rather pleasant surroundings overlooking the Sheraton internal garden with fountains, small pond and some squirrels. The dining hall also features a grand piano and two television sets in the bar area.
The appetizer menu looked pretty good and we tried what was called the Mediterranean platter, featuring Grape Leaf Dolmas, Hummus, Tabbouleh, Babaghanoush, Tomatoes, Pepperoncini & Imported Olives. The food was great-tasting, the vegetables were fresh, the olive oil and hummus were at just the right level of spicyness.
None of the restaurant specials looked too enticing, so we went with the chicken meals. The pizzas, however, are brick-oven-made, which I guess adds a special taste if you decide to get one. The half-chicken was juicy and tasted great. The veggies were grilled in garlic sauce, which added a good aroma to the meal.
The service was prompt and expedient, and overall it's a great place to visit again for a nice dinner. parking is alaways available, as this is the hotel parking space.
