New American Restaurants near Cupertino, CA

“We were at the bar/dancefloor area for drinks, and it was awesome. The decor is unassuming, but everything else is top notch. Our server was friendly, our drinks were very good, the music was danceable but not too loud, and there was a friendly and accepting atmosphere among the patrons. We'll be back, next time bringing our dance shoes.“

“Ate here while my mom and grandma who stayed at the Juniper Hotel. I was a little apprehensive because of some of the reviews online. However, I am glad that I ignored those! The food was really good! We got burgers, scallops, salmon, and Brussel sprouts and non of it disappointed. Dawn was our server and he was very attentive and funny! The only thing I would say is that it took a while for us to get our food.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“The dinuguan was a little sour but that is expected, sinigang as well. More veggies for the sinigang would have been nice. Service was fine. Names of the food by the container would have been helpful as to not offend the cashier when you ask for that "crispy shrimp thing on top of something fried."“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
