“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.“

“We have dine here a couple of time now and we will come back again soon, I love the atmosphere, the live music add a pizzas to the restaurant. The chef creat different interesting dishes and fresh incredient each time we visit. They have an amazing long wine list which is always fun to look around“

“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.“

“A new hidden gem. Small and intimate bar seating only to watch the chefs cook and chat. They are clearly passionate! It's not the most intricate or methodical menu, but more creative, spontaneous, and fast changing (apparently every month!). Food is clearly at the center stage. Come here if you are curious about food.“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay!! The ambiance here is impeccable and the food is sooo good! Some of my favorites include the tom yum bucatini, any of the tostadas, summer peaches, and fingerling potatoes. Can’t go wrong with anything here.“

“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!“

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

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.

You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.

You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.

The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“One Fish absolutely lived up to the hype. I love that the menu changes constantly with the seasons, so there’s always a reason to come back. Every dish felt fresh, thoughtful, and packed with interesting flavor combinations that somehow just worked.

I mixed hot and cold dishes and everything was outstanding. The oysters with their accompaniments were incredibly fresh, the halibut and kanpachi were beautifully prepared, and the fried chicken with sauce and caviar was one of the most unexpectedly delicious bites I’ve had in a long time. The sake selection was excellent as well.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. Great music, a clean and intentional space, and genuinely friendly service. Walked in without a reservation, but it’s nice that they can accommodate both walk-ins and reservations.

Chef Owner Trent was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he’s creating. Skipped the omakase this visit, but after this meal it’s at the top of my list for next time. One Fish is inventive without being pretentious, and it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to every month to see what’s new.“

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

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.“

“Always excellent service and a great experience“

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

“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.“

“A long overdue review of our favorite hangout spot in Downtown MV. It's got everything you want: good food, wine, and service. They have a great wine club that does free tastings once or twice a month, too. It's a fantastic deal. We are grateful to have a fun place like this in the neighborhood!“

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

“Recommended by my girlfriends who enjoyed dining her before, we made a reservation to meet up so I could experience this place for the first time. We arrived on their kickoff into First Fridays and while it got busy outdoors, it didn't interfere with us getting to enjoy our time together, holding great conversation, and also having Jake as our server who was attentive and swift in his service while being mindful as he served drinks, food, refills, etc. Our group of four shared multiple, flavorful, delicious plates (pita + chips, empanadas, disco fries, spicy handroll, quinoa + tuna poke salad, branzino) and desserts, along with several rounds of the cocktails. I will say that the mango sticky rice did not come with fresh mango, and the ice cream sub worked but did not meet our expectation as we had hoped for fresh mangoes. The pandan flan was also good, but we questioned its authenticity as it wasn't the light green color as it is in other desserts and Asian treats. Sharing as they were still good and setting others up for enjoying without expectation.“

“A little late posting this since my visit was a while ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed this place

I honestly wasn’t expecting the menu to be that big. It really felt like a proper Japanese izakaya where you can order a little bit of everything, share dishes and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed

We tried several things, including the grilled squid and a baked seafood dish, and both were really good. The squid was tender and flavorful, and the baked dish was rich, cheesy and perfect for sharing. There were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try, it was honestly hard to choose lol

We also had a few drinks, which made the whole experience even better. The food, drinks and casual atmosphere all worked really well together

It didn’t feel overly trendy or too polished, just comfortable and very local. Definitely the kind of place I’d come back to with friends, order a bunch of dishes and stay for a while

Really good food, lots of variety and a fun izakaya vibe“

“Pinsa (Flatbread) and the Mushroom Ravioli were exceptional dishes. Our favorite plates out of the 3 we ordered. We also had the carbonara but there was an after taste that did not sit well. Most likely from the cheese? Service was slightly slow however only the bartender was on shift.“

“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！“

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

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“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…“

“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.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food.“

“I’ve come here twice to enjoy and work from my laptop on the patio. The views are stunning and in the evening when it’s breezy they even offer blankets despite the rooftop being heated at night. The light bites are amazing— I LOVED the charcuterie board. There is a 90 min limit on the table which is fine so others can also enjoy the vibes. The service was great, Chef Tony came out and introduced himself and I sang his praises, the bartender and server was attentive and helpful and both even let me know on Fridays or the weekends in the summer they bring in a dj! Will definitely be checking that out!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We ordered two entrees, split a Ceasar, and had two desserts (!) Everything was delicious, our waiter was great, and I loved the table we had - close to the fireplace, but also back a bit. It was a fun night as we were going to a concert, and the waiter made sure we were out in plenty of time, but we were also not rushed.“

“The restaurant is moderately noisy as long as you're outside inside a different matter, but they have a lovely outside patio. The food and service was very good and our small plates came out very quickly all in all. It was a nice evening with enjoyable food.“

“And the most amazing cocktails! 🍹“

“Not one, twice, I’ve been to this place 4 times. Never disappointed. Food was lovely, place feels pleasant, classy and neat. Cost is reasonable since the portion size is small. My wife is a fan of their lamp chops. I tried prawns, chicken appetisers, I had no regrets. Biryani is good enough. Deserts are delicious too. I would go there for every special day knowing that the food will definitely make my day.“

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