Tapas Restaurants near Campbell, CA

“Yummy, creative food! Only thing I didn’t like - we had reservations for the patio at 8:30 PM. When we got there they told us that they stopped seating outside. We had initially opted for the patio, because we knew that it was pretty loud inside and we wanted to talk (my friend and I). Begrudgingly we accepted the table indoors. Shortly before we left, around 9:45 - they started seating people on the patio. I felt not taken seriously, to be honest.“

“I had the most delightful dinner at One Fish Raw Bar. The 11-course tasting menu transported me around the world with the most delicious and unique flavors pairings. The freshness and texture of the fish cannot be beat and the warm, attentive service made it a very special evening. I cannot wait to treat myself again next time I am in the South Bay!“

“Everything was great need to put more food its will be better 😎“

“Basque style tapas (pintxos) in a stylish little restaurant. What’s not to like? Stop in for a couple of small bites and a drink like a Spaniard would, or have dinner.“

“From the moment we stepped into La Catalana, we were transported to an authentic Spanish-Catalan experience. The atmosphere exudes warmth, passion, and attention to detail, making it the perfect place for a memorable evening. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish crafted with care and rich in flavor. The tapas were exquisite, and the hand-selected Spanish-Catalan wines perfectly complemented our meal. Rodrigo, our server, went above and beyond, providing exceptional recommendations and ensuring we had an incredible dining experience. His attentiveness and knowledge truly elevated our visit. A special highlight was meeting Monserrat, the owner, whose kindness and hospitality made us feel at home. Her love for the community and dedication to creating a welcoming space is evident in every aspect of La Catalana. We visited to celebrate friendship and an award received by one of our friends, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. As community leaders, we wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to everyone. La Catalana is more than a restaurant—it’s an experience filled with passion, culture, tradition, and heart. We have found a new favorite spot, and more importantly, a new friend in Monserrat and her team.“

“Lovely staff, great cider and yummy food❤️“

“Update:
Went for Dinner again tonight. Once again great service, great ambience ( live piano in the background). Wonderful food, even gave us a sample of their house blended tea to take home.
.....perfect evening. Thank you!“

“Food is good and soul music is the bomb!💪🏾“

“An absolutely exceptional hidden gem that is well worth the discovery! They have a great selection of wines and will help you find something that aligns to what you feel like having. Their food is delicious too! The flat breads are exceptionally thin and tasty! Nici and Ty have found an awesome niche! I am hoping to visit this place again!“

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“We tried to visit Goodtime Bar once before, but seating is very very limited, so decided to try again another time when we could get a seat (it's a small space, both inside and outside, and even the standing room is limited - but standing room isn't what I'm looking for in a wine bar).
Last night we made it at a time when we were able to grab the only 2 seats available. The ambiance is great - the setup is very modern, and the music is enjoyable. I was rather disappointed by their Wines by the Glass selection - rather, their lack thereof. Their menu has a single listing for "wines by the glass" with each color listed beneath (bubbles, white, orange, red) and a note to ask what they're pouring tonight. I like this in concept - it suggests a rotating menu. however, the options were limited - for a red, they only had a red blend (no other options for a single glass). I will caveat that with this: the red blend was delightful and I would absolutely get it again (if I knew what it is)! but when I go out to a wine bar, I'm interested in either a flight of different wines, or 2 glasses of 2 different wines (of the same color). so while our intention was to stay for 2 glasses each, we just had the single glass and left.
they do seem to have plenty of Wines by the Bottle options - again, a single listing on the menu pointing you to all the bottles on the wall with their prices written on them in sharpie. so if you're with a bigger group, or planning to stay for the whole evening, I can see Goodtime being a good time for you!

our service was great too! they are super friendly. a table inside with kids accidentally broke a wine glass, and I watched two of the workers immediately rush over to clean it up. I was very impressed with the response and the response time.“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.“

“We really loved the atmosphere! Gorgeous courtyard with a fountain and lovely lighting. Good food. Decent wine list but only a few Spanish wines unfortunately. The service was extremely slow. Waited for the bill for 30 minutes, another 20 to get out of there.“

“We had fish pot noodle, steam soup dumplings, pan fried soup dumplings, and chili oil wonton. These are very delicious. We also ordered a stir fried broccoli chicken which is a bummer. Instead of sliced chicken breast like in the menu picture, it’s fried chicken chunks like in sweet and sour chicken. It’s also very oil and salty. Other than that dish, the rest are really good!!“

“Always excellent service and a great experience“

“Been to rice junkie multiple times for lunch as well as for dinner. The service is always quick and fast however I do not like the new digital menu that they have especially if you’re on the tables close to the wall.
Their selection of sauces is always very interesting and I’m yet to try them all.
The ambience is somewhere in between a fancy restaurant and a fast casual.
Definitely get their corn and cheese combination either with the chicken or with the pork. Lunch for two with a drink and appetizer was $30 per person.

Parking: Massive parking lot with plenty of spots“

“I have had nothing but spectacular experiences at Rootstock, and especially the MV location! The staff is so knowledgeable and is so kind within their expertise. I have so many questions and so little knowledge but they always make me feel welcome with all my questions. The drinks are, of course, spectacular! I impress people at parties now with all I’ve learned through Rootstock. And the food is so tasty, I love the Empanadas especially! They have such a beautiful space and I’ve now been here at least twice when the dim the lights from day to evening and it’s always such a beautiful and subtle but welcome change. I have no restauranteer skills but the expertise at Rootstock is so inviting and inspiring to me, I dream of opening up a Rootstock location in Canada where I go to school!

This is one of the greatest wine bars in the bay: yes for their wine selection! But also? Truly foe their staff, the ambience at their wine bar, the member program, and all that I learn from their experts behind the bar *AND* all the food I enjoy and fun I have. I love this place and I’m too scared to have tattoos for real but I’d tat I love roortsfoxk on my body, that’s how enamored I am! And this is a review after 2+ years of being a patron here! I should’ve shared my love earlier but ADHD 😅

but now that I’m a few months into my wine club membership, I just really had to make clear my enjoyment of Rootstock. The ambience reminds me of Edward Espe Brown’s writings: the table is a place of giving and receiving sustenance. Here we are served and serve others. That’s what I feel at Rootstock and it is such a pleasure and privilege! They make me want to learn about flavor notes so I can truly wax poetic about their menu, ambience, and so much more.

The TL;DR is if you are of drinking age, and in Mountain View: you HAVE to go to Rootstock. you will be doing yourself a disservice if you miss them! my favorite restaurant, from the chefs to staff to sommeliers! Endless things to love and celebrate.

Vegetarian options: There are a number of veg options! 3/4 flatbreads have meat BUT they are so flexible with substitutions. I often ask for meat removed (when alone) or on the side when I’m with friends and they are always so kind and on top of this.“

“I'm a big foodie when I saw the place on line I was dying of hunger. I didn't even want to see the menu I got all recommendations from the young server and Miha. The food is delicios flavourful. The salad was crisp and fresh delicious savory wines!!“

“great customer service, very polite and attentive. ありがとございます！“

“Good selection of craft beers, wine, and small plates. Food was tasty and service was great! Highly recommended!“

“Good food will come back…“

“The service and environment are very good, and there are relatively few carbohydrates and vegetables on the menu. The beef tongue is delicious and the price/performance ratio is good. The grilled rice balls were surprisingly good, a bit like glutinous rice cakes. The squid rice has a very rich and creamy flavor.“

“Such a good and relaxing atmosphere! Everyone is nice!“

“A great experience! Cheese board was delicious. Soft pretzel with beer cheese is outstanding. Sat outside and enjoyed the cool California air. It was a super relaxed atmosphere and had a good vibe. We were visiting San Jose for a few days and picked this place on a whim for some downtime. It was pretty cool place to have a beer and chill.“

“For 3 yrs always stay at Aloft it’s like my second home , the ambiance is very nice, front desk clerk are polite and friendly , the bar , waiting area , restaurant and the swimming pool are very nice , the rooms are big, and parking area“

“A random find, but turned out to be beyond expectation. Were looking for a place in downtown Saratoga to have a casual brunch with a friend, trying to get out of “popular” places to avoid the long unnecessary wait, hence we did not expect a great meal from this random walk-in.
But we walked in, clean and standard restaurant decor, standard brunch menu, ok food display. So I thought, meh, ok meal.
Then I took a spoonful of the Shakshuka Egg, amid the look, it’s actually quite delicious! So we stopped the conversation and focused on the food more, took another spoonful of the Loco moco, it’s way better than I expected, surprisingly tasty! The beef patties is juicy, real-meaty and fulfilling!

I would recommend coming here if you want an easy and nice brunch, not overcrowded or hectic but quiet to meet with friends or family. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still in Saratoga so it’s pricy, and don’t expect IG friendly photo. But it’s a decent place if you want to eat and chat!
And downtown Saratoga got a lot of public parking spots, convenient to walk to restaurant.

“Very authentic flavors, reminded me of the times I ate at the ryoutei style restaurants in Japan! サーモンハラスの塩焼き - Grilled salmon belly 生うどん - Fresh udon noodle soup ユズ香る茶碗蒸し - Egg custard with yuzu with crab sauce on top イイダコの唐揚げ - Deep fried mini octopus“

“Everything we had was tasty. The mussels dish was our favorite. Garlic noodle was also really good. The salmon mousse, we couldn’t really taste the salmon in it but it tasted fine. We also ordered catch of the day dish (not shown in picture), the fish was light and crispy but the kimchi fried rice it came with was lacking; it tasted more like lightly seasoned fried rice—couldn’t taste the kimchi. Overall, the presentation was great and taste was enjoyable.“

“a comida é extraordinaria e o serviço é 5 estrelas. Adorei os cocktails e o bife à portuesa. Recomendo muito.“

“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“

“Ahora que pase vi que tienen nuevas empleadas Son muy amables , limpios , atienden rápido ,.. la verdad! Deje de ir porque vi q una empleada , me cobraba y después fue derecho hacerme mi orden sin lavarse las manos 😳.. esto de la comida es muy delicado más con este COVID 😬.. pero ahora volví a pasar ( meses de no ir) me encanto ! La señorita me atendió amable , pero otra me hizo mi orden ! Sabroso todo !!! Lo recomiendo !!! Y ya volveré más seguido ..“

“Katsu curry rice tastes delicious. Plenty of pork meat on the rice!! Highly recommended“

“I love Kaita! Food that has the authentic Japanese home cooking taste!“

“Good place to taste good Spanish dishes and good service.“

“My family & I enjoyed our dining experience at this Peruvian & Spanish restaurant. The food is nice as is the service.“

“My family and I stopped by this restaurant on New Years Eve. They offered a special menu on this day. We ordered the Tomahawk Paella, Jamon Iberico and a few other Tapas (nothing special). My favorite was the Jamon Iberico.
The Tomahawk Paella was very underwhelming. The meat lacked flavor (I think they forgot to season it), but the rice was very good and flavorful.
Tomahawk Paella (~$150): 4/10
Jamon Iberico: 8/10
Bread Tapas: 6/10
Overall: 6/10

Service was fantastic. I might give this place another shot and try their normal menu.“

“🇬🇧 Menu below 🇹🇼 Menu below 🇩🇪 Speisekarte unter
Chinese look down
This place opens till late and the staff were very friendly. We (Taiwanese) were the only table who were not Koreans. Food was okay, the pineapple soju was really nice!
Food portions are big but taste is average
I highly recommend ordering pineapple soju or watermelon soju. Share it with everyone.
There will also be some fairy sticks on top, which looks very cute when photographed.
- There is a fried pork belly dish which is very delicious.
M6: Pork Belly Garlic- Jalapeño Stir-Fry
It cost $140 for the two of us to eat
We were the only table at the table with non-Korean people.
The other six tables, large and small, are all Koreans.
The clerk was very friendly and even treated us to raw shrimp in soy sauce!“

“Amazing! One of the best restaurants in Cupertino“
