New American Restaurants near Saratoga, CA

“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!“

“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!“

“It tastes like home far away from home , only much tastier! Everything tastes made from scratch. I think they say it is. I will go back many times to try everything. The Lamb is very delicious. The Portions are perfect. Francine took our order and she gave excellent customer service. I will be bringing my Mom for Mothers Day. My family is hooked! 5 stars , the best place to have a warm meal with lots of different flavors. And we don’t bring salt to our table. You don’t even need it.“

“Exquisitely exceptional. Denise and her team have carefully curated a wonderfully enchanting Parisian experience from the ambiance to the decor--snacks & caviar..a truly uplifting experience that Los Gatos desperately needed. Well done, can't wait to be back.“

“I came here for brunch on Easter and it's a perfect place for just that kind of thing. I should've opted for one of their more experimental-looking options but went with the classic breakfast, which was fine, but I have to do the reverse-snob thing and confess you could get better classic breakfasts at much lowlier establishments. Go for their omelettes or something instead, which looked interesting.“

“I was so lucky to get a spontaneous spot here to eat dinner last night. We sat outside in this lovely, warm and cozy space. The food was outstanding! An excellent beet salad to start with, followed by this amazing artichoke appetizer. Best prepared artichoke I've ever had in my life! For my entree I had Bowl of Soul, which was like a fish stew with plenty of prawns and tender pieces of fish that I suspect might have been sea bass or cod? In any case, it was delicious! My dining partner had the Dungeness crab pasta. I had a little taste and I was blown away. If you're looking for some fine dining and an elevated experience, don't hesitate to come to Asa. I'm looking forward to going back!“

“Definitely an old school nice restaurant. Servers are dressed in slacks and white button downs, atmosphere is so think you can cut it with a knife, food is lots of meat and pasta.But it's also delicious.Cocktails are awesome, specials have never disappointed. May be pricey for some, but for a special occasion it's 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.“

“Been here twice now and the experience is always great! Super fun to come with a big group and split lots of items. Langos is delicious as are all of their bread sides. Maybe skip the salads as ours was a little bland but everything else was great.“

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“

“Decent food for a fairly reasonable price. Service is quite fast. Food is ordered at the counter and a beeper is given. So you don't have to wait for table service. Also easy to split the check since each person orders individually.Blended Margaritas are very strong.“

“Busy on a Saturday night, got on a wait list, then arrived late but just called the restaurant before arriving and was put back at the top of the wait list.Server was really good. Service was fast. Good tab on the table to order quickly. Need to call server for alcohol related purchases.Pina spritz (mocktail) : Was a good drink! 4/5Chicken nachos: Toooo good! 5/5Sweet & spicy shrimp noodles: good taste 4/5Fontina Vodka Penne: This pasta is served with charred chicken breast which was too salty and the penne itself was not that seasoned. Too cheesy so only if you're in that mood! 3/5“

“Varied menu and good service. The menu includes several gluten free entries. The staff are knowledgeable about special dietary requirements. I had Chilean sea bass and it was delicious! The only drawback is that it can get quite noisy.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and vegetarian options.“

“I cannot recommend this place enough. I've been coming here for the past 3 years and I cannot, for the life of me, understand why it has only 3.8 stars. I have tried in crepes - Tuscany and Thai I've tried their sweet crepes - the Jamaican one is delicious. The service is always quick, I've never had a wait longer than 5 mins and I've been here on Mother's Day y'all. The food is fantastic. The waiters are extremely attentive. This place is a must try brunch place because it's got something different to offer compared to usual eggs and pancakes fare we see at most brunch places.“

“It’s the best pizza in San Jose, especially the Detroit pizza! I want to leave a picture, but I keep eating the pizza before I remember to take one!It’s a smaller space if you’re dining in with a large party, so do keep that in mind, but you’re near San Pedro Square where you have plenty of space to sit and eat among friends and get drinks.“

“Stumbled upon Devine for a late dinner with a friend. Liana took personal care of us and engaged with us at just the right level. The short ribs were super tender and flavorful and my friend said the seafood pasta was seasoned perfectly. The eclectic wine list worked very well with our dinner choices. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect capper. Highly recommend.“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“We stopped here randomly to kill a couple hours. Sat and ate loaded tots, drank refreshing beer, and listened to Lavender Fields Band play. We could have sat here all night if it weren’t for our flight. Great place, I’ll come back next time I’m in the area.Parking: Parking is easyKid-friendliness: Saw plenty of kids running around while we’re here they seemed right at homeWheelchair accessibility: Fully wheelchair accessible“

“I just attended a Graduation Party at The Halford. It was a very nice experience. Good food, ample seating, robot servers. The owner Sophia went out of her way to make the party a success. And there are live trivia games that you can play I Plan to have future events there .“

“This place was good and I mean like really good food. I'm giving it a four because I think it would be more appropriate to call it a "lounge", not a tavern. Everything is highfalutin, which accompanies the prices. A tavern should be cheap, mainly serve beer, and probably have a pub food list. Again, this fits the stereotypical image that wants to be painted in this part of CA.“

“This was a second chance for this cute little restaurant. I was craving a chili relleno and because the size varies from restaurant to restaurant- I asked for two. Holy Moly! These were huge AND delicious. Everything about the meal was great. The chips are house made and the salsa is just perfect - not too spicy and plenty of flavor. The beans- just like grandma made them! Arroz was a little 'wet' for me - I like my rice a little more dry but it did have a good flavor. The star of the show was the relleno of course. The batter, the cheese, the chili - so so good!!Well done!!“

“We love The Table and plan to go back.The food is always so interesting and complex. The menu changes seasonally and it's always fun to try something new here since it's always good. They have a great cocktail selection.The service is really great, the staff are all very nice and accommodating. They explain things and are always helpful to find the answer to what you asked.The atmosphere is very cool. We have been here for dates, taken family and friends, just a great stop in Willow Glen. I do recommend getting a reservation, it just makes things easier. Also they don't have parking but in the back lot is a large parking lot you can walk over from. The parking behind their building is not possible, just go for the big lot.“

“Discovered this quaint little restaurant on Friday, March 21. Happy hour runs from 3 to 5 PM made it just before they changed over to their dinner menu. Very nice and inviting environment. Jesse was our bartender. He was very attentive. We decided to sit at the bar area. Old-fashioned was delicious, the brussels sprout appetizer cooked well and the Chipotle Aloli was complimentary to the dish. The spring wraps were very fresh . Shareable portions. Nice place to come to relax after a long week and have a cocktail and a couple of appetizers.“

“Had a wonderful lunch here. Sat at the bar where there's a demonstration kitchen. Great food. Had an avocado turkey club with a salad that was refreshing. The sub sandwich had wonderful flavors.Also had a cucumber refresher that was delicious.“

“We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the patio. The cheese beignets were pure molten deliciousness. The craft cocktails and burgers perfectly hit the spot. Our server gave exceptional recommendations and we ended with house made vanilla ice cream with apricot sauce and nut streusel.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Scopazzi's is the best. The staff is always great, the food is always great, and the atmosphere is one of the best the county has to offer, maybe the best, in fact. If you are coming from far away, it's worth it. Make the drive, have an amazing dinner or brunch or whatever you are in time for. Take your time, and enjoy the place.I'm going to take a moment for a criticism though, so you all don't think I'm just some kind of shill... Don't order the sausage with the Fettuccine Alfredo. The sausage is tasty, but you will pay $5 for literally six tiny pieces of sausage. You will think to yourself... What kind of sausage costs $1 per quarter inch? You will be pretty upset.Okay, that aside, everything is great. Thursday only for Lasagna, and I think Saturday only for the prime rib. Both are great. If you aren't there on either of those nights, the lamb is fantastic.Final warning: this is not a cheap restaurant. For most of us, it's a place for anniversaries, prom dates, and marriage proposals. Still, it's worth it. If you are looking for someplace really special, and have saved up a few coins for that, you will get what you pay for here and have an evening to remember.Kid-friendliness: We have gone there with a toddler, and they found us a quiet space away from the other diners. They did everything they could to accommodate us, but we're also rightly and justly sensitive to the other diners. They couldn't have done better with a difficult situation. I think they even made him something completely off the menu, just for his tiny picky toddler self.“

“Americanized Italianish comfort food with an excellent selection of beers and good cocktails. The front of the house staff is surprising nerdy. I'd trust the staff on a video game recommendation before a beer recommendation, but that's why I love them“

“We had a very pleasant evening there playing darts and trivia, drinking and eating the shepherds pie, which was very good. It's a cozy place so don't go when it's crowded. It was a Thursday night so I recommend trying it on Thursdays. The bartender was very friendly.“

“The food was good. There was some smell as soon as you entered the place. It was one type of cleaner mixed with dirt (lingering smell). Just a couple of employees working but they were efficient. They did not announce the name of the order. I saw the order ready sitting there for a couple of minutes before I asked if it was my order and it was. They did do a good job at adding silverware and napkins. Good for take out, not for dine in.“

“We took outdoor seating in literally the farthest corner and they still managed to take good care of us. I was expecting the food to be pricey, but it's actually well priced for the content and service that you get. Will be coming back, their burger is my boys favorite!“

“When I visited on a Sunday night, there were not too many people, and the wide space made me feel comfortable (a friend said it was very full on Friday and Saturday nights)!The bartending, meals and service are impeccable, and the guards at the door are strict and kind-hearted, giving people a sense of security while spending time here. After all, the security in the city... you never know what will happen in the next second!Next time I will try to sit at the bar during happy hours and get together with friends here again!“

“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.“

“Beyond the pizza, Willow Street offers a diverse menu with options to satisfy every palate. From crisp salads to savory pastas, each dish showcases the restaurant's commitment to excellence and attention to detail.Service is consistently exceptional, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you can always count on prompt and courteous service.Willow Street Wood-Fired Pizza in Los Gatos is a culinary gem that shines brightly in the local dining scene. With its mouthwatering pizzas, diverse menu, and top-notch service, it's no wonder this establishment has earned a loyal following of food enthusiasts. Whether you're a local resident or just passing through, a visit to Willow Street is an absolute must for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.“

“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.“

“What an incredible vibe and a staple for the downtown San Jose area. People are always going to have some input, but.. If you know you know. This is always Poppin and the mixologists along with the selection is just top-tier. That's right these aren't just bartenders here. If you are about advanced selections and especially Japanese whiskey level cocktails, don't sleep on this spot.“

“This past week I went to BJ's for lunch. My friend recommended the place and I was not disappointed. My server Sasha was wonderful! She told me about the lunch specials and what a great deal they were. So many options for $13 plus $5 beers! Sasha was extremely sweet and very attentive to our needs. Ill definitely be back!“

“Delicious food and great service at the heart of Los Altos. The menu has so many interesting options and there were several tempting specials, we will need to come back to try it all. The crab toast, the duck cake and the scallop appetizers were very tasteful, as well as our main entree (a halibut special). Our waiter was very helpful, the atmosphere was great and they also had a nice drinks and wine menu.“

“Friendly staff.Loud noisy environment.Indoor and outdoor seating.Mostly focused on drinks and they do have some food.Small menu with quality fresh ingredients, however during my last visit every dish was very salty Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options, clearly marked on the menu.Parking: Sometimes it is difficult to find parking. Best to go around back to the lot there.“

“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!“

“I went here while traveling to Sunnyvale for work and went back several times. I usually get the pear&avocado salad, the Kobe burger and a Toki highball. I sit at the bar. The highball is executed really nicely, some orange and an airless giant ice cube. The salad is perfect, substantial but not heavy, nicely dressed. The Kobe burger medium is a little pink, really tasty. It’s pretty quiet during the week, staff is friendly but all business. Nice place to unwind.“

“The food was a bit of a mixed bag! Their fried food is lovely; crispy and well seasoned, it’s freshly fried and piping hot when it hits the table. My friend got the tri-tip sandwich and greatly enjoyed it, my partner and I got a half rack of ribs with Mac and cheese and baked beans. The Mac and cheese was decent but a bit grainy, and the baked beans were mostly nice but very heavy on the cumin, and the ribs had a nice smokey flavor but you had to work a bit to get the meat off the bones. The staff was friendly and attentive, the ambiance was laid back and their tap options were excellent.“

“Stopped in for a glass of wine and a quick bite yesterday. The service was fantastic and everyone was really friendly and very informative about the wines they serve. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and trio of bruschetta. Everything was really good! They have bands that play couple nights a week so it can be a bit loud inside but it's a festive environment. They are more on the pricey side with glasses of wine costing anywhere from 22.00 to 50.00! It might be better to just a bottle at that price!“
