“We really enjoy this place. Nice ambiance, good service, imaginative and visually appealing cocktails, and at 4:45 pm on Friday the service was quick but not rushed. Not an inexpensive dinner but worth it. Oysters and Spanish meatballs for tapas ( yum) and veggie paella. So good!“

“Went to Joya yesterday with my husband to have late valentines dinner. The food was amazing and it came out at timely manner. We start with the Kobe sliders and ajillo . The Kobe sliders were full of flavor and the ajillo sauce is amazing . After we enjoyed the hanger stake pinxos, yuccas, stuffed jalapeños, and brossel sprouts . My husband love the picos the meat was perfectly seasoned and pared so well with the sauce on top of bread. The jalapeños were stuffed with yucca and cheese and were really good but definitely spicy. We normally get the yucca and brossel sprouts and they never disappoint. Our drinks were perfectly made but my favorite continues to be the Diablo . But enjoyed three different drinks that were amazing. Our server Jorge was attentive and made sure to check on us continuously . The ambiance is delightful. I can honestly say the thanks to the great service, amazing food, and overall delightful experience we will continue to come back .“

“All the food I tasted was deli and no, it's not all pictured here. FYI, this is not a "Mexican" restaurant, it's Peruvian. All delicious but don't expect Mexican staples. The service was friendly and quick. Only thing is, they didn't ask how we wanted our check and they brought it all together and it was as always, a pain in the ass to split. Ambiance is nice, private, quiet and comfortable. Not being from here, we are reeling from the costs and taxes but oh well.“

“Iberia is a Spanish island on the San Mateo Peninsula. The interior is quite charming. The layout -two rooms- allows some to gather in the bar/lounge, and others to enjoy the dining room. In the dining room, couples can share intimate booths, and larger groups have tables. In the bar, there are two tables for large groups and a few tables for smaller crowds. OH, and the food!! We just returned from Madrid and found nothing there to outshine Iberia's tapas. The tapas range through vegetables, mushrooms and meats and use fine oil and other enhancers, such as impossibly finely diced shallots. The service might be a tad slow on a busy evening, but you're in Spain! Get a glass of vino (or sangria) and sit back to enjoy each other's company. I strongly encourage you to check this small gem out! TDMParking: Try the Caltrain lot across El Camino“

“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.“

“Came here with my girls for happy hour one day and I was actually quite surprised by the quality despite it being on the HH menu! We pretty much ordered everything from the HH selection. We started off with some cocktails which were super refreshing. We got 2 orders of pan con tomate, papas bravas, croquetas de jamon, pintxos morunos, and hamburgers which fed 10 people. If you're coming here for good vibes with a group of people, I would definitely recommend coming during happy hour when it's a little more affordable!“
