Great selection, many healthy options, stellar service. Breakfast at Bay 223 was one of the few highlights of my stay at the Sofitel San Francisco Bay hotel.

Enjoyed a wonderfully delicious meal that was unique, flavorful, perfect portions with a great wine list. The service was fantastic. The menu choices were plentiful and expensive, but well worth the price. The one negative is that the lobby bar is adjacent to the restaurant and very loud, often making it difficult to hear conversations at our table. Perhaps a... More

This is a very nice restaurant/bar for the hotel. Expected prices to be high so not a surprise. Wild recommend eating here if your company is footing the bill.

Price was reasonable for what we got... French press coffee, 2 eggs benedict, side of bacon, fresh squeezed orange juice, chocolate croissants all came to about $46. Service was a bit slow but extremely attentive (probably slow due to very full restaurant).

We live nowhere near the Sofitel. But whenever we are in the area, we deliberately plan to come here for breakfast. The regular breakfast items are okay but overpriced. But if you love coffee and croissants, Bay 223 is the ONLY place that is a 'must do' for visitors. Their croissants are housemade, and even better than our personal fav,... More

So if you're at the Sofitel and don't have a car you are stuck. The items are overpriced and the service is just ok, despite the "bonjours". The menu boasts that bread is the center of a French meal but honestly, the bread basket is just ok (although the pesto dip that comes with it is awesome). There are some... More

A step above anything, anywhere you typically get in the states. Even the most unusual selections I found to be simply scrumptious. For lunch, I ordered a cold pea soup.
