Whether you're just grabbing a quick bite or having a nice dinner, Lira is a great choice. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Campbell!“

“Awesome place and amazing service“

“Vpho is a fantastic place to enjoy delicious pho and more! They recently remodeled, and it looks really nice inside—modern and inviting. One thing that sets Vpho apart is that they don't cram their tables together like some other Asian restaurants, so you have plenty of space to relax and enjoy your meal. Plus, there's lots of parking available, which makes getting there easy. The restaurant itself is clean and well-kept, which adds to the pleasant dining experience. I tried the Chicken Wing with mild spicy sauce, and it was surprisingly good—tender and flavorful. The Beef Bone Pho was outstanding; the meat practically fell off the bone, and the soup was warm and yummy—perfect for a chilly day. Although I didn't try it this time, they have a cocktail menu, which sounds intriguing for my next visit. The restroom is nicely remodeled, but it could be cleaner, which is something they might want to improve. Overall, Vpho gets five stars from me for its delicious food, comfortable atmosphere, and great service. It's definitely a place I'll be returning to!“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“MONDAY FOOD REVIEW...PUESTO...6/17/24! After leaving California's Great America, we stopped for lunch at Puesto, a Mexican/American restaurant, located at 2752 Augustine Dr., in Santa Clara. This restaurant features Mexican dishes with an American flare infusion! I had their their Shrimp a la Plancha, which is Mexican shrimp, garlic butter, red onions, jalapeños, guajillo chile, avocado, and Tamarindo-chile sauce, and it comes with herb lime rice, black beans, and blue corn tortillas. This was absolutely fabulous!!! It wasn't your typical Mexican dish...the different ingredients they used to create this dish all blended together VERY well!!! If you are looking for a little something different to satisfy your Mexican food craving, and want some added flair, then this is THE restaurant to go to!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!!!! My rating: 10++++“

“Miracle on 1st street is the best time of year“

“We were shooting for a noon reservation at Parkside, but with unusually light traffic and the parking gods being on my side, we arrived twenty minutes early. Our reservation was for an outdoor table, but we changed our minds and they were happy to seat us inside. The food was excellent. I had the crispy chicken sandwich which was a little messy but very tasty. My wife said the smoked turkey was fantastic too.“

“fabulous, entertaining, great place to interact with others“

“Cocktail spot with quality snacks in downtown Willow Glen. 4.5 stars

Food: 4z5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
Cost to worth it rating: 3
Opentableable: no reservations
Return worthiness: yes

Highlights:
- Sandwich: the focaccia was heavenly. So fresh, warm, soft, sponger, and thick. The prosciutto mozzarella pesto arugula and balsamic combo worked well in it. 5 stars
- Happy hour: til 6 everyday
- Towels in bathroom to dry your hands instead of paper towels: nice touch
- Happy hour bubbly: assumed it would be Prosecco but was a French one and a nice pour so I was excited.
- Honey bear drink: a cherry cola served in a honey bear was fun
- Atmosphere: some seats at a small bar, some outside, and table seating inside.

Midlights:
- Lychee martini and old fashioned weren't great and some of our go tos usually.

Lowlights
- They were out of the HH Manhattan Hub and there was no substitute provided for whiskey which seems like table stakes for a cocktail place. They offered the old fashioned but not happy hour priced. My hub was not a vodka, gin, or mezcal person which the others had so he was out of luck.“

“We went for after dinner cocktails to celebrate a friends birthday. I made a reservation ahead of time, but they book up early, so reserve early. I did need a better time and called and they were able to accommodate us and made the change. Super glad I called and asked. Cocktails are really good. The atmosphere is great. It’s dark, quiet, romantic. We all had a version of an espresso martini. One had a regular one, which came with a toasted marshmallow. She loved it. The rest of us had a special that was a pumpkin flavored espresso martini. It was so good. It had some sweetness with the crème, delicious pumpkin flavored espresso martini oh so good! Cocktails run about $20-$22 each. Not much for food here. They had caviar, chips, nuts, and Something else. We did not order food.
I would recommend it to try at least once. Great date night cocktail, great for a friend meet up.“

“The Catania is a wonderful place with an inviting atmosphere and great energy. The people—staff, owners, and guests alike—are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome every time you’re there. The food is excellent, consistently well prepared, and clearly made with care.

Whether you’re stopping by for a meal or spending time with friends, The Catania delivers a great experience. Highly recommended.“

“Been hitting Normandy House a few weeks while on a temp gig in Santa Clara—in from cowboy country where a solid where a still shot is sometimes mandatory after a long day.

The Pareto thing always cracks me up: 20% of people do 80% of the work, and 80% of the gripes come from the other 20% like some clown reviews here. But everybody here has been super cool to this out-of-towner.

Trin especially—she makes a killer Long Island, best around and always keeps things chill.

Great spot, 5 stars easy. Gonna miss it when I head home.“

“best place to go for a drink!“

“Ambiance, Ambiance! #outdoorseating#creekside🍷👏🥂🍾🍹🍸🍸“

“Love this place when they’re for a company happy hour good wine good finger food nice atmosphere on the patio with a fire pit. This is attached to Shashi hotel right next to the computer, history, museum, and the century movie theater.
The waiters were excellent good service“

“An earlier review was complaining about the holes and I was dumbfounded. Yes it's freaking inside which limits space but the course uses the space so well. The holes were so fun! I liked the non traditional holes - I mean this isn't Pebble Beach - it's freaking mini golf!

We went day drinking here and played the full 18 holes. I was a bit disappointed in the drink options - the non-alcoholic ones sounded so good - so I ordered one of those with a shot.

Parking can be found right around the corner. Or the light rail goes right by ...“

“I highly recommended the people are nice the bartenders are great beautiful women handsome man when I walk in I feel like there’s love throughout the place“

“We had the best brunch ever at Giwa Dining. The decor, service, and food were all immaculate. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into the restaurant and into training staff. The food truly stood out and everything we ordered was spectacular: black sesame toast (recommend asking for more black sesame paste and sauce), truffle egg sando, sweet potato fries, and fried chicken. We’ll definitely be back for the souffle pancake and cheesy hamburg steak (dinner only).“

“The service attitude here is great. I like the drinks very much. It feels very magical, like a magic potion🥰“

“Great atmosphere for even a quick drink, or two…“

“We really enjoyed our first trip to this charming small eatery in downtown San Jose. Tucked away on Post north of First St., without obvious signage, The Club can be hard to find, but is worth the search. The craft cocktails were creative, interesting, and delicious. The Kale salad was a large serving, with a tasty house made dressing and a variety of fresh ingredients. The Short Ribs are were tender moist and delicious, served over a small serving of parsnip purée. My seafood pasta was deliciously sauced with generous portions of shrimp and salmon, though a little more pasta would have been nice. Crème Brûlée was delicious. Prices are moderate, appropriate for quality. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful,. Decor is minimalist but tasteful. Overall very enjoyable, a good time was has by all!“

“We visited with friends and ordered Tandoori Veg Momo, Avocado Chaat, Garlic Naan, and Butter Chicken. The Tandoori Momo tasted rich and fresh. The Garlic Naan came soft and had a unique flavor. Everything arrived hot and well prepared. We plan to return soon with our office team.“

“Hosted a birthday party here and we had a great time! They have a YouTube TV in karaoke rooms so we were able to do Bollywood karaoke. They have a few vegetarian snack options as well and they serve decent cocktail options. The service was a hit or a miss but overall recommend this place for a fun night!“

“Loma Brewing was an awesome place to have our party. Their food was delicious, the space was fabulous and the staff were incredible. They were so easy to work with and made the planning and day of so easeful. I felt so supported. I highly recommend them for events and also just a night out!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options“

“Stevie's Bar & Grill in San Jose isn't just a bar, it's a sanctuary for the soul and a paradise for beer enthusiasts. Each time I return to San Jose, Stevie's is my go-to spot, a reliable haven where the beer flows as freely as the good times. With a draft beer selection that's second to none, Stevie's is like a grand library of brews, each one a story waiting to be savored. The attentive staff elevates the experience, making sure your glass is never empty and your spirits are always high. The vibe here is electric yet welcoming, a perfect backdrop for the delectable snackable treats they serve. And if you're in a crunch for time, the adjacent laundromat turns a chore into a chance for relaxation – sip and savor while you spin and rinse! Stevie's is more than a bar; it's a clever twist on the traditional, a gem that makes San Jose shine a little brighter.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed Mix Huevos.
The menu has variety, but not to the point of being overwhelming.
I had the dulce de leche pancakes combo, the pancakes 🥞 were HUGE!!! They were just a bit too dense for me, I prefer them light & fluffy. I had bacon and country potatoes with my pancake combo and both were really good. My friend had the chorizo scramble and added avocado. 🥑 she said it was really good, the portions are very big, so you’re definitely getting what you pay for.
The servers were very kind and attentive, the restaurant is very big as well, so it would be great for parties and get togethers. No complaints“

“I forgot to add to my previou comments that their tortillas are home-made, authentic, and delicious.“

“Great downtown San Jose spot with cool bartenders“

“This restaurant is a gem! Enjoyed a gals bday dinner in this rustic, fine dining space. Nat was our host and we really enjoyed his casual and attentive service and all of his food suggestions. Kitchen was super accommodating in splitting meals. We tried several of the desserts and loved them all. Home run evening in a really great environment. Also, the cute bar in the back of the restaurant would be perfect for a cocktail and app sit down with a friend...next time!“

“Suzanna and Ashley are the best bartenders there oh and def can’t forget about Tiffany“

“We had the pleasure of meeting and dining with Ali, the owner chef. Ali ordered for us and we had a most delicious meal. Started with the sample plate and then ordered 3 mains, 2 desserts and finished with turkish coffees. The bartender recommended a bottle of red wine that was perfect. Ali shared the tradition of turning the turkish coffee over after drinking to let the grounds become your fortune teller. All delicious and beautifully presented. We love the cozy atmosphere and the booth seating. I highly recommend this restaurant for a completely new and gourmet side of turkish dining.“

“We had a solid Indian lunch experience at Jashn in Santa Clara. Apps hit the spot - good size, taste, and texture. Main however could've used a bit more Thai curry like they described, but still tasted good. Portions felt a tad small for the price - would love bigger mains for a more sumptuous meal. Naan and tandoori roti were spot on. Will return, to try the rose kulfi live-prep Xp @ the table.“

“excelente servicio buena atención“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brunch at Eos & Nyx was such a treat. Every dish felt thoughtful and well-balanced, and it’s clear the kitchen really cares about how flavors and textures come together.

I started with the Deviled Eggs (smoked salmon, trout roe, allium) and they were a perfect opener. The filling was silky with a subtle smoky richness from the salmon, and the trout roe added these fun little pops of briny flavor. The fried onions brought just the right crunch to tie everything together.

I had a mini drink adventure next. The server kindly brought me a sample of the Peanut Butter & Jelly Time, which truly tasted exactly like peanut butter and jelly (impressive, but a full glass might have been too much for me!). I ended up ordering Trix Aren’t For Kids (gin, trix, rice milk, ginger, passionfruit, cream, lemon, egg white) and it was fantastic—smooth, bright, slightly creamy, and surprisingly easy to drink.

For my main I had the Stuffed French Toast (lemon mousse, billionaire’s bacon, infused maple, cinnamon, sugar). The toast itself was incredibly light and fluffy with just the right level of sweetness. The lemon mousse added a bright, creamy lift that balanced everything nicely. And the billionaire’s bacon created that perfect sweet-and-savory combo. The flavors were so good on their own that I barely needed the maple syrup.

My only small critique: the butter pad was frozen rather than softened, so it didn’t spread or melt the way you’d hope on warm French toast. A tiny detail, but one that would elevate an already great dish.

Service was friendly and attentive, and overall the meal felt worth the price (about $71 with a 25% tip). The only other note is that the music inside was pretty loud—great energy if you’re brunching with friends, but maybe a bit much if you’re hoping to quietly read while you eat like I was.

Overall, another great experience at Eos & Nyx. Their dinners are already standout, and brunch definitely holds its own. I’d happily come back and order the exact same thing again.“

“Good steak 🥩 and pleasant atmosphere.“

“We have been customers of Bazille across several states for years. We find the food to be of good quality, well-prepared, and served with great care. The service was great at the Bazille in San Jose. The atmosphere was elegant casual and conducive to a nice dinner with family or friends without having to compete with noise. I rarely give a 5-star rating in food. The food here is solid.“
