“Great place for groups or just to hang out with a couple of friends. Recommend the patio when the weather is good.Service has always been on point and friendly. They have also offered good recommendations.Menu could use more vegan and vegetarian options. The couple they do have are good. Entrees are good but their apps are better. Particularly the pretzels, truffle fries, sliders and the sausage plate (which is practically a meal with 3 sausages, toasted bread, sauerkraut, and I think mashed potatoes).Desserts: the donuts take a while and most of our group really liked them. I just found them a little too sweet for my taste and preferred the crème brûlée. The chocolate cake was good but we wanted lava or something inside. Instead there was more chocolate outside on the plate. ?Parking: There are parking lots and street parking available fairly close to the restaurant. However, recommend do going early as it is downtown. I feel like I’ve been fairly lucky every time I’ve gone as I’m able to park in the lot behind the restaurant or find same block street parking fairly quickly, which I know is unusual.“
“My husband and I visited Shoreline Lake for a quick bike ride the other weekend, and I was surprised at home much there is to do in the area! Shoreline Lake seems like a great date or lunch spot, where you can go on a hike or do an activity, and then have a snack. There was free parking in front of the restaurant, and from there we were able to unload and explore the many trails around the lake. There's seating at the restaurant both inside and outside, and picnic tables near the restaurant if you bring your own food. The restaurant also had lockers and lake equipment rentals. For lunch, I had a chicken sandwich. The baguette was nice and the homemade chips were excellent. The flavors on the sandwich were just ok for me, so I would try the veggie burger next time. My husband had the breakfast sandwich, but my favorite part of the meal was the granola he got with it! Service was a little bit slow and there's not a ton of variety in the options, but the quality is good for the price. We will be back for a date another time. It also seems like a nice place to take family or out of town friends.“
“Our server JC was a standout. Even though he was the only one working the whole restaurant, he checked in frequently and had such a great attitude and enthusiasm. The rest of the staff also were eager to please. Brussel sprouts were delicious (if a little too sweet) and the burger was quite good. Good in between of nicer and casual kind of place as a hotel lobby restaurant.“
“I work at Burke Williams Day Spa on Santana Row and I look forward to getting dinner after an hard day of massaging clients. Everything I’ve tried has been spot on. The staff is super kind and friendly especially on Sunday nights. Bris, Colby and Francine go far and beyond answering my many questions. But the highlight for me is the Cowgirl cookie. You gotta try it“
“Service was amazing! Garrett was so attentive and would bring everything we needed before we could even think of asking. Service like that is what makes the experience truly memorable. The atmosphere is good too—not too loud and beautiful decor. Ingredients were delicious, but I was not a fan of some dishes (could be personal preference). The cucumber salad seemed too acidic and the pork belly with burrata pairing didn’t go well in my opinion. But again, the quality was great and the rest is personal preference. Would be an injustice if I didn’t mention that trout was absolutely delectable! Might be the best one I’ve ever had. Also, the vanilla soft serve with cardamom crumble was a hit!“
“The experience I've had coming back to this place was outstanding, I took the opportunity to try something new based on our server's recommendation, and wow they nailed it. This type of interaction provides me with the trust of keep coming back and not get disappointed.“
“A lovely meal. The chef is super creative in the use of vegetables and original sauces. Nice selection of wines by the glass, which our server was happy to let me taste before ordering. Highly recommend the cauliflower starter and the chickpea risotto, which were quite exceptional. The baked cod however was a bit too salty. And we needed to order some bread to cleanse our palate afterwards. They did offer to remake the fish which was thoughtful, but it would have interrupted the flow of our dinner at that stage. That said, it was a great experience overall. And don't skip the s'mores desert!“
“Absolutely amazing experience. From the time we checked in for our reservation, service was very kind and thoughtful and everyone wanted to make sure we had the best time. Stunning dining spaces. Every corner beautifully designed making for an elevated experience. Depending on which spot you pick, you can be sure it will be a distinct experience. Food was stellar and our waiter was absolutely lovely, checking in on us and giving us excellent recommendations. It's been a while since a place swept me off my feet like Sekoya did! Can't wait to come back!“
“Had a delightful Friday night indulging in fine dining with my family. The venue was cozy and pleasantly uncrowded, with excellent service. The set menu provided a worry-free experience, and I particularly enjoyed the tasty scallops and fusion flavors of the cauliflowers. Despite not being a fan of chocolate cake, I was pleasantly surprised by its deliciousness!“
“The serving staff are very friendly but lacking a little on the familiarity with the dishes. That's the only nitpick I can give Selby's.The flavor and technique totally justified the respect for Selby's approach to classic fine dining.“
“We had the most delicious meal last night at Protégé. Each course of the tasting menu was perfection. At the end we couldn't choose a favorite because they were all equally incredible. Our server, Fleur, was so knowledgeable about the food and the wine and gave us wonderful recommendations for the perfect wines to compliment the various courses. The whole experience was wonderful and I can't wait to go back sometime.Dietary restrictions: They made sure they were aware of all of my dietary restrictions and ensured the food I was served was safe for me to eat by making small adjustments when needed.“
“As usual, Flea St takes all the best parts of the farm-to-table method, stays true to the mission without a lot of self-congratulatory stuff, then adds real attentive service and care to every detail such that you feel like they've been just waiting to have you as a guest. The team is warm, professional and skilled - such a joy to have this gem available to us all.“
“I’ve come several times for lunch, the food is always great - flavorful and seasonal. I booked a private dinner, and was blown away at the menu, service, creative flavors and atmosphere. One of the best dinners I have had in a decade, 10/10!“
“Have been dying to come here and finally made it! Went with my friends and we all had a great time. It's super pretty inside. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, but didn't hover and let us chat and catch up. We had the scallops, beet salad, risotto, chocolate cake, key lime pie and then of course the drinks! Had to get the kiss the bubble drink (Instagram worthy), snow storm, kiwi do you love me, and cantarito. The meal was good, but the drinks and desserts were what we would come back for. The chocolate and the key lime were gorgeous, presentation wise, and so good! Definitely make a reservation as it fills up fast. Can't wait to go back!“
“Great food, great service. We just had dinner here, and the service by Allen was the best service that we have had at Lazy Dog. He was awesome.Vegetarian options: They can make many of the dishes vegetarian. We had the tex mex salad without chicken, and it was great.“
“I finally had the opportunity to check out Restaurant Gish! I've had the place bookmarked for a while after reading one of my friend's reviews. Due to dietary preferences (i.e. I don't eat pork), I patiently waited for a menu that didn't appear to have pork as an ingredient. The restaurant was cozy and quaint, and it's kind of in an obscure location in a strip mall. I treated myself to dinner at Restaurant Gish and had an overall wonderful experience. I made reservations for 1 at the Chef's counter. What was cool was that the other guest at the counter was also treating herself for dinner and had never been to Restaurant Gish. The hospitality of the chefs were exceptional. They were all very pleasant and personable. In addition to sharing their inspiration and ingredients for each dish, they were fun just fun to chat with. Prior to serving the first dish, one of the chefs asked about my dietary preferences. I mentioned that I don't eat pork. He pointed out how one of the sauces had a sauce base, but he said they could modify the sauce without pork in order to comply with my preference. In fact, I learned that they modify ingredients all the time for guests. I don't have to wait so long for a menu without pork next time. Restaurant Gish offered a prix fixe menu. I opted for the wine pairings, which I thought went quite well with each dish. The last two wines paired with the entree and dessert were particularly outstanding. I enjoyed everything I ate, but I especially loved the lamb.“
“We love Vino Locale! Nice ambiance, great wine list, and solid snacks to enjoy. Of of the best things about Vino Locale is that the wine list isn't just the same 5 wines that you see at many other places, they offer a great variety of domestic & international wines, and treat each one well. I love the Sancerre on the menu, and appreciate that they offer 6oz or 9oz pours, half bottles, and full bottles. The Black Cabra Cabernet Sauvignon and Miraval Rose are also among my favorites. In terms of food items, I usually gravitate toward the chicken skewers are a good option and come with a few flavor/sauce options. The beet salad is good, and I often get their Brussels sprouts (know what to expect, though: they're not fried/crispy, but are tasty - served with parmesan, cranberries, almonds, and optional bacon). The cheese plates and hummus platter are also good, reliable options. Service is so friendly! They have a nice dog-friendly patio (and often have a few treats for pups), and live music most Thursday evenings.“
“Wow, I really enjoyed my dinner. We stumbled into this place and it turned out so good. It’s basically American done really well.Order at the counter, find a seat and your food comes in about 10 minutes. They have a bunch of craft beers but I didn’t try any this time.They have a ton of dishes but we opted to both get steak. And it was cooked very well. Yet and well seasoned. Good portion size including the sides.Lots of seating. But a little loud. And a little cold in the main hall. The outdoor one (well, truly indoor) has heating lamps which help a lot.Looking forward to future visits.“
“Khaly was the excellent, attentive server and she is very kind and person’s server. She did recommendations for me and colleague and there were very good quality food. She deserves to be recognized for her excellency in taking care of our table today. Thank you. Khaly.“
“Came here specifically for Pliney the younger! You have to order the drink in a pair with another drink. Example would be pliney the younger and pliney the elder. Guess that's their way of making more sales. Line gets pretty long. It can wrap outside of the store. Ordering the food is pretty easy through the machine. Food came out in a timely manner on their robot machine. Typical bar food with an Asian twist. Nothing amazing. Service was good. You're able to order drinks for your whole table. Give this spot a try if you're craving a beer!“
“Bazille is a great place to catch up with friends, family, and enjoy a tasty meal while at Valley Fair. The seating booths are comfortable and the servers are friendly.I ordered the crab bisque and it is filled with great flavor that melts in your mouth. The steak was yummy and paired well with the kalamata aioli dipping sauce.The best part about Bazille is their delicious fries and kalamata aioli dipping sauce. They are my favorite, a must-try for anyone trying Bazille for the first time.If you are looking for a great place to unwind and eat in the mall, look no further than Bazille“
“Lovely experience with the Alice in Wonderland Tea! We had the Earl Grey Oolong tea, which was mildly disappointing (very little flavor), but the pastries more than made up for it! Three tea sandwiches, a perfectly baked blueberry scone, and three tiers of cakes and sweets. The best part was the setting, though. The place is covered flowers and beautifully decorated.“
“I visited during a company outing host by a local corporation. We were treated to aspread that allowed a taste of almost everything on the menu. The descriptions are accurate, and the ingredients all tasted fresh. I would definitely bring friends and family there on a personal trip.“
“If you're craving a burger this is definitely the place to come to!! SO much variety and they make their own chips and provide free pickles which are very refreshing to add to your burger!! Went here for a dinner with friends before a comedy show and I love that they're open all day so we could head over for an early meal before our 7pm show in Santa Clara! The person taking the order was so friendly and the process is so easy with the huge menus - easy to read and with SO MANY choices - burgers, salads, sandwiches, wraps, tons of sides to pick from in different sizes. And their drink selections are great - I LOVE diet dr. pepper which many places don't serve so I was super happy!!! The drinks are a self serve which is super helpful. They don't leave out napkins but servers walking around are happy to provide extra for you when you ask. So you order - get a number - find a table (which there are many options with high tops, regular seating, bar seating, outdoor seating... The food comes out fairly quickly and it's DELICOUS!! We got the ABC Burger which has avocado, bacon and cheddar cheese! My friends got it and devoured it. They said it was really good... They also enjoyed their sweet potato fries! Love the waffle shape and they had different dips they provided which were delicious. I got the Havarti Shroom! SO GOOD - especially when you add in the pickles! Hubby got the Seared Ahi Tuna Sandwich which he also devoured - having the skinny crispy fried onions provided a lot of texture and flavor. I may have to get that myself next time. And we shared a side of onion rings - crispy - wasn't oily tasty with a super light batter. For a "side" they give you a lot... I also added pics from our first visit there when they first opened. I got the short rib grilled cheese sandwich! OMG DECADENT... I LOVED that sandwich and SO filling! Hubby went completely opposite and went healthy and got the falafel wrap which he enjoyed - was light and tons of veggies with the falafel. LOVE this place - service is great - friendly and fast. and FOOD and options! hands down the BEST!! I love they give you so many options - decadent to healthy!! Our go to for burgers and sandwiches and just American classics for SURE!!“
“We have dined in the Cafe almost since the day it opened. Through the years they have consistently exceed our expectations by providing an exceptional dining experience especially for special occations. I live around 200 miles from the resturant and always make it a destination when visiting my family in the area.“
“Super kid-friendly and chill with tvs and lots of seating; I need to come more often! Food is about what you'd expect; I enjoyed the flavor of the carved steak thingy, and spouse enjoyed the nostalgic turkey a la king. Kiddo liked his food too. Service was friendly and helpful.“
“Dinner for 4 on a Thursday night 5pm, we're only table that early. Cocktails were normal, watermelon salad was interesting, corn bread was good, lobster Sandro was tasty except proportion was small, NY steak was a bit hard even asked for medium rare, lamb chop was excellent, eggplant manicotti was good“
“Went to the Super Bowl watch party where they offered free pizza slices, popcorn and draft beer discount. You can park in the underground parking garage. The bar and bar lounge area is pretty cool. The staff were all very nice and the food and wine that we had was delicious! We had chips and guacamole. You get a lot of guacamole.We tried their fish & chips which came with coleslaw.The fish was crispy, crunchy and not oily, the chips were tasty and the coleslaw really good. The Prisoner Cabernet was very good.“
“Great place for wine tasting and small family get together, they also accept small parties and can close place for you to make it private. Service is fantastic and food tastes great from small appetizers to a meat and pizza. Thank you for making it very delicious and special.“
“Came here with my good friend for drinks and appetizers later afternoon. Staff were super friendly and professional - appetizers were top notch and beautifully presented - and found my favorite wines on their list too. Highly recommend it for friends, anniversaries or even business meetings. Wish we had known abt the rooftop…..“
“Date NightASA Restaurant has two locations in the Bay Area and their Los Gatos location earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognitionThis was my first dining experience at their more north location in downtown Los AltosWith high ceilings and heart themed adorned menus, this was a perfect spot for a Valentine’s week dining experienceThe menu here is slightly different from the Los Gatos location and I’ve heard that the two locations may not be as closely affiliated when they first openedI loved the appetizers and particular loved the anchovy bread with two different anchovy types topped on crisp, warm bread. The Dungeness crab appetizer was also excellentFor entrees, I opted for ASA’s signature exotic mushroom pasta that is on both the Los Gatos and Los Altos menuAs a fungi ? fan, I absolutely love this dish and it’s one of the best pasta dishes in the South Bay and PeninsulaThe only miss was their special of the day of striped bass over risotto. The purple yam purée was sour and the risotto dry with zero moisture or liquid and more like a cooked rice dish than a risottoASA is a fantastic destination for the Bay Area and while the prices are elevated, they reflect elevated cuisine (and high ceilings)? Smoked and Stoned $16 / Anchovy Bread $16 / Dungeness Crab Toast $36 / Special Striped Bass over Risotto / ASA’s Exotic Mushroom Pasta $34?ASA Restaurant (Los Altos, CA)Reservations are recommended on Opentable and dining is indoor only. Credit cards including AmEx are accepted.“
“My go to place at this mall. Tasty sweet crepes. Ok boba drinks and fried chicken. Good deal on the combos. Ask for a loyalty card for future free drinks.Tasty Korean wings but not spicy enough for me. Very good macha and brown sugar boba “
“We went to Bistro 880 and purchased the NYE experience. Food was 80 percent seafood with a small salad bar and a roast beef station. Unfortunately, I am allergic to seafood and had the roast beef and salad bar. The dessert bar was amazing. In prior years, the bistro would offer coffee and dessert after midnight. This year, the dessert bar was closed early. As far as the entertainment, the performing band was Stompbox and they were excellent. There were a couple of unruly people on the dance floor and hotel security immediately addressed the issue. Not sure how they gained admittance since they were not seated at a table but rather hanging out at the bar. For a better NYE experience, the establishment should have strictly enforced admittance to those that paid for the NYE experience.“
“As a lover of all things golf course food, Birdies is a hole in one! Elevated bar food, meets the golf course. You'll find classics like burgers, tuna melts, club sandwiches, and even pimento cheese dip (which is delicious). For our mains we split a club sandwich ($15.95) and a tuna melt ($18.95). As you can tell by the photos, they don't skimp on anything. It's really enough food for two meals, and the fries and onion rings, we crushed them while they are hot. All the ingredients tasted super fresh, the bread was perfectly crunchy on both sandwiches. I think for the quality and amount of food you get, the pricing is really reasonable, especially in Palo Alto. For drinks we went with the espresso martinis, and they were delightful and reasonable priced at $13.95. Located at the Stanford golf course, this definitely a hidden spot. If you know, you know. If you enjoy elevated bar food or golf course food in general, it's worth checking out!“
“They have many. Places to eat that are familiar to folks like Starbucks coffee, Jamba Juice,Panda Express and Subway. There are also some independent places like the Coho Coffee House and the treehouse now both have very good food and beer available.“
“We stayed at the Embassy Suites while in Santa Clara on business and we were so happy we gave this place a try! We didn't eat food we had cocktails from the best bartender we ever met! Her name is Mimi and she's a true professional. All I'll say is every drink we had she absolutely killed it. We look forward to coming back! Get you a Mimi's Starbucks and Mimi's Amaretto Sour you'll thank us later!“
“If you're looking for something a little more elevated than in-n-out but not so elevated that it breaks your bank, Gott's Roadside is the perfect fit! We were craving burgers and milkshakes after a hike with our dogs so we dropped by for a quick bite. The line to order food was pretty short but I think waiting for food itself took a little longer as the family before us had a massive order. We were able to find a table outside which was great because it was nice and sunny out. We ordered the double cheeseburger, green chile cheeseburger, fries, vanilla shake, and two unsalted patties for our dogs.We thoroughly enjoyed everything that we ordered! The burger was hot and juicy, fries were salty and crisp, and the dogs really enjoyed their patties. We will definitely be back to try out more items on the menu! Those onion rings look fantastic.“
“Drinks were strong and delicious. Bartender was attentive and helpful. I got a half order of Caesar salad which was surprisingly delicious. Got a pecan Old Fashioned which was good, but on the sweet side. Then got an Oban 14 year scotch. Definitely was on the pricier side. But very convenient.“
