“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.“

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

“Goodtime bar has become our home ever since we moved to the Bay area a months ago. It has a good vibe with great choices of organic wine (you never know what to expect and you will never be disappointed), excellent food and super friendly and fun staff!“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“Impeccable service, striking a perfect balance of warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness.

The staff demonstrated an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu & wine list (thnx Sean)

The cuisine was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a masterclass in flavor, texture, and presentation, showcasing the chef’s innovative touch & traditional experience.“

“What a fun little hidden gem. Came here in a Saturday not long after they had opened. The vibe of the wine bar is definitely unmatched. Unknown to me, they had a happy hour special running. There were tons of great little bite options my party and I enjoyed. Definitely will be back again.“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

“We absolutely loved the atmosphere! The courtyard is stunning, with a beautiful fountain and lovely lighting. The food was good, and the wine list decent, though it had only a few Spanish options. Services are also very nice!“

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“I had a date night here and we ordered the 5 course meal. Absolutely amazing, it’s our favorite date night restaurant now. Everything from the flavors, to the plating, to the staff was more than I could ask for. Josh was our server and man what an excellent job he did. Helped us with our wine choices, was very knowledgeable about the food and was all around pleasant to engage with. Will be back for more in the future after this experience.“

“Always excellent service and a great experience“

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

“We loved this place. 4 of us went on a Saturday night around 6 and got a table without a wait. Food was delicious- especially soup dumplings, pork belly with noodles and sesame balls. Service was quick, ordering was from a QR code with a menu full of tempting pictures. We will definitely be a return customer.“

“This was a fun choice for a Girls Night Out in one of my favorite downtowns: Mountain View!

AMBIANCE: Cute outdoor patio to enjoy a summer night. The interior has a nice minimalist design with a variety of seating (bar vs tables).

FOOD: Loved all the dishes we tried! Special points for the Rootstock Flatbread. I would love to come back to try the sandwiches which looked fab and filling.

DRINKS: My friends tried the Summer Sips flight and enjoyed all three choices. I had a white wine which was also delicious, light, and easy to digest.

SERVICE: This is where we lose a star. Within the 2-3 hours we spent here, both of our waiters clocked out, leaving little to no attention or checking in throughout our dining experience. There was also confusion as each waiter told us different info about what wines were actually available. Lights on our outdoor umbrella weren't turned on until after we had paid the bill (prob 1+ hour after sunset. I would've appreciated more attention for the price.“

“Fresh food and great customer service. Try the catering service, they were a hit at my event! Thanks to Burritto Express!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“I’ve been coming here since they reopened most of the people here that work here are from flights in Campbell so it’s like all my regular friends are working here. Still I come Tuesdays and Thursday nights home away from home. He can’t go wrong. Food is good. Beers are good. The only thing they need is a second bathroom and happy hour And everything would be perfect“

“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!“

“The crostini sampler was 🤌🏽🤌🏽. The place was a little quiet on Monday nite.. probably because the warriors playoff game was on at the same time. The food was very fresh and flavorful... will definitely come back to try more menu items!“

“Fresh food and good taste. One of pocket restaurants.“

“Good food will come back…“

“It has been awhile since I have eaten here at Tanto, and I am happy with the meal, it was delicious. We ordered the sashimi salad, grilled beef tongue, the 2 crispy rice, clams with butter sauce and the uni pasta with egg roe and the small format junmai daiginjo. We loved everything, the grilled dish was tender and seasoned to perfection, the clam soup was hot and delicious with fatty clams, the salad was fresh with chunks of sashimi. The two dishes that I am still dreaming about are 1. the crispy rice with salmon, the crispy crust contrasting with the soft rice and salmon in the middle - OMG - I'll order 2 next time; 2. The uni pasta, so creamy, seasoned to perfection and every bite I took, I wanted to take more :) ... The sake was a perfect compliment to the meal, I walked out a very happy customer 10/10“

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.“

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

““I had an amazing experience the other day. You’ve got to try the Octopus Carpaccio if you're into seafood—it’s incredibly tender and packed with flavor. And don’t skip the Bread & “Butter”; it’s a game-changer with its whipped bone marrow spread over warm, crusty sourdough. Absolutely delicious!I also tried the Cup of Gold cocktail while I was there. It’s a fantastic mix of bourbon infused with golden raisins, Madeira, honey, and just a hint of celery bitters, creating a unique, smooth flavor that’s both sweet and subtly earthy.Sitting on their rooftop, enjoying these incredible dishes and drinks, really made my day. The vibe up there is just so cool and laid-back—it's the perfect place to unwind and soak in the views over Palo Alto. Whether you’re looking for great food, tasty drinks, or just a chill spot to hang out, President’s Terrace is definitely worth a visit.”“

“We celebrated the turning of our granddaughters entrance to teenage life together.

“By far was this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it!“

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

“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“

“I went to Daebak Pocha yesterday and was really impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and I could tell they put a lot of thought into the menu. It’s definitely improved a lot. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-presented. I’ll definitely be coming here more often!“

“Food was better than expected, with quite excellent curry. Thankfully I had naan and bread to avoid licking the plate ;)

We ordered the food spicy, it came what I'd call medium heat. My wife thought it was perfect heat.

"Malabari" Prawns in sourdough 5/5
When it first arrived it reminded my of a clam chowder bowl. But it's even better! Had a smoky coconut taste I couldn't get enough of.

Tellicherry Pepper chicken 5/5
First time having it. Good portion of chicken. Reminded me of butter chicken. Definitely recommend.

Basmati rice - enough portion for 2
Plain naan - was crispy

Service was great. They filled my wife's water like 5 times. It was never empty.

Ambiance is nice. Mellow music. Nice lighting. We sat right next to the window“

“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.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food.“

“Excellent spicy miso broth, not too spicy, but enough to warm you up by the end of the bowl. There are a lot of options including half noodles.“

“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.“

“Georgian (Southwesterly Asian) Cuisine ! Fav! Very glad to see that Bevri now has a larger restaurant! Great 👍🏾 food & service.“

“And the most amazing cocktails! 🍹“
