“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.“

“Enjoyed the food too much to get photos of dishes, but unbelievable. Still thinking about the lamb agnolotti and the seaweed soup and ... well everything. The Nicks, Griffin, and Ben were so genuine and warm. Tonight was the first night of the spring menu and we'll be back for sure before the seasonal switch -- and then we'll be back again.“

“Amazing Thanksgiving dinner thank you so much. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The dinner was amazing the chef really knows what he is doing- the sauces omg divine. The staff was charming and friendly the ambiance of the place cozy and elegant, pleasant but not overwhelming music and of course wonderful wine. We will definitely be coming back and only regret not having come sooner!“

“Nestled in the heart of San Jose, I can truly say I have found my favorite restaurant. For any newcomers to the city or locals looking for a new go-to bar, Goodtime Bar is the spot. It goes without notice the effort this restaurant makes to create a sense of community: DJ nights, guest chefs, wine club, run club – all specially designed to bring people together. I never write reviews, but this jewel deserves all the accolades. Beyond the electric atmosphere, the vast natural wine selections paired with novel cuisine make every visit an experience that elevates my palate. The carefully crafted dishes show the detail chef Alex gives to every order. Diverse ingredients embrace a fusion of cultures, with familiar dishes like Caesar salad (Endive Caesar @ Goodtime), pasta (Bucatini @ Goodtime), and shrimp tacos (Tacos Dorados @ Goodtime) delivering a magical explosion of flavors. I tend to find myself methodically portioning out my meal - not wanting to reach that one last bite from my plate. With a rotating menu, every visit is an exploration of new tastes and has cemented me as a regular.

P.S. The Bucatini is my favorite! =]“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

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

“Editing this a year later

​This spot has become our favorite destination for a relaxing wine night, whether it's a casual evening with friends or a date night. The cozy atmosphere is consistently a hit with everyone we introduce to the place.
​What really sets it apart are the owners, Nici and Ty. They are incredibly friendly and offer great recommendations. It was a pleasant surprise that they recognized us months after our first visit and even remembered my girlfriend's preferred wine! We also love their flexible flight concept, which allows you to sample any of the wines available for a single set price.
​It's also an excellent choice if you're looking for a laid-back wine bar before heading over to a Sharks game!“

“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!“

“This was a truly special meal and every bite hit it out of the park. The tasting menu is creative and robust, and we were full by the end of it.

I’ve been telling people it was the best meal I’ve had this year, and that still holds true almost into May! I’m so glad we chose to spend an evening here and I can’t wait to come back.

Standouts were the raw fish round with the salmon dish with thin apple slices and the tuna with what I think was a red pepper puree. The hamachi crudo and the oysters were outstanding, as was the liver mousse crustini. The grilled fish with bao buns was my favorite warm dish.

My only critique is the dessert was a bit too rich for my taste. What a problem😂“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

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

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“My fiancé visited this location to today and it was wonderful l. The atmosphere was great, the food, absolutely delicious, and the service was great! Such a nice guy! Didn’t catch his name unfortunately but he was really nice. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.“

“Always excellent service and a great experience“

“I absolutely love this place. It’s everything you want in a neighborhood spot and a perfect reflection of Willow Glen’s charm.

The wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, the food is consistently great with options that feel both elevated and approachable, and the staff brings such a fun, welcoming energy every time you walk in. It never feels pretentious, just genuinely enjoyable.

What really stands out is how it captures that quintessential Lincoln Avenue vibe. It’s the kind of place you can drop into for a casual glass of wine, stay for dinner, and end up lingering longer than you planned.

A true neighborhood favorite and one of the spots that makes Willow Glen feel special.“

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

“Ended up going here on a rainy day. Located on Castro St, was very central, plus the place has a very nice vibe. The Somm was actually very helpful and really made sure we enjoyed what we were drinking at night. A friend tried the flight which then followed with more and we enjoyed the flatbread which came piping hot from the kitchen.“

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

“Amazing!! Yes, they are open on a Monday night! Awesome service! The vibe is both chill and upscale. I asked for a flight (not on the menu by the way) and they made it work! Lauren and Rachel are killing it!! I will so be back 😊 I had some cheese, wine and a shrimp Caesar salad“

“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!“

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

“Great service and lovely ambiance. The menu offers a nice mix of salads, meats, and fish, and the staff were genuinely pleasant.“

“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“

“This is probably the best restaurant in Sunnyvale! Literally everything was perfect. Valley Goat is everything you’d expect from a Michelin star establishment. They have perfected and mastered their flavors along with cooking every dish to the absolute perfection. Of the 10 dishes we ordered, including dessert, there is literally nothing to critique. Even the cocktails were masterfully crafted and balance.

On top of an absolutely stellar dinner, the ambiance of the entire restaurant is mesmerizing with the greenery and modern elegance of all the decor.

Lastly, a huge shoutout to our server, Angel, would went above and beyond to secure us some amazing anniversary party hats and ensured we had the best birthday meal possible!!“

“The place had a long queue and we waited about 30 minutes to get in. Credit to the staff for managing the waitlist well. They didn’t turn anyone away, even after their official closing time.

The food was good, but not quite worth such a long wait. Most dishes came with a lot of rice, so even a single dish can be quite filling. Service was fast once we were seated.“

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

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

“Good food will come back…“

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

“We had delicious food and were able well served by Lucky who was very attentive, yet gave us space. I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! Thank you Lucky for a grate service!“

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

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

“As soon as I got into the restaurant I can tell if this is a great place and a great atmosphere. It was just right and perfect. The staff members treated us like family. My mom for Mother's Day spun the wheel and we got $30 off our next item, and the owner I believe gave my dad a free spin and we got a free item also as well. My dad said he loved this place so much that he's going to be here for Father's Day. Highly recommend this restaurant to enjoy with your family or maybe just a few co-workers or friends. The funny thing is that when my mom first spin it says a free alcohol drink which nobody drink. But of course she re-spin the wheel again. Food was delicious, also was there non caffeine hot teas.“

“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“

“Came here for a business dinner and it was fantastic. Service was attentive but not annoying, food was delicate and delicious and the drinks did not disappoint. The atmosphere is my favorite part of the restaurant. It was a perfect evening and we got to watch the sunset.“

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

“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.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food.“

“Holy cow, is this place awesome! We visited yesterday for lunch and were completely blown away by the food and service. Presentation, flavor, and attentiveness of staff made the experience fantastic. We nibbled our way through a lunch of Salmon, Tuna tacos, Burrata bowl (with avocado!), Beef Wellington, all with a lovely sparkling wine. We enjoyed our meal in the outdoor patio, though we loved the interior of the restaurant, too, with its small market and warm, welcoming feel. We will definitely come back.“

“And the most amazing cocktails! 🍹“

“This was a lovely dining experience. The staff were on point and the food was amazing. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and plated and the flavors were beautifully spiced - full of flavor but not so hot you can’t even taste after several bites. (I’m sure that if hot spice is your thing they can accommodate.) I tried panipuri for the first time and had a memorable experience. Five stars all around.“

“they've done an incredible job creating a fun and gorgeous place to eat, drink and hang out.“
