Modern European Restaurants near Los Altos, CA

“December 4, 2025

Even though I reviewed Roja in September of 2024, I felt compelled to share my thoughts again because this restaurant is consistently improving and upgrading in every aspect. They truly seem dedicated to providing the best for their customers, and I can't help but appreciate their efforts!

On of the aspects I truly love about Roja is their commitment to seasonal menu changes. It keeps the dining experience fresh and exciting! Beef Wellington is on the menu now and I must say it was the highlight of my dining experience! It was cooked to perfection; the tenderloin within was a gorgeous, rosy pink medium -rare and incredibly tender. The outer layer was a triumph of texture: a crisp golden brown, and wonderfully flaky puff pastry crust. The balance of flavors and expert preparation were simply outstanding. It seemed like everyone around me was ordering it, which speaks volumes about its popularity! Immediately after I ordered, our waiter came over and expertly suggested wonderful wine pairings, and it's amazing how much the restaurant's wine list has grown since it opened in 2024.

I highly recommend this restaurant; it's an amazing all-around dining experience thanks to the excellent food, great wine selection, pleasant ambiance, and top-notch service. I also highly recommend making reservations as the tables fill up quickly!

(Review from Sept. 2024) Roja is an absolute delight! From the moment you step inside, the ambience wraps you in a warm, welcoming embrace. The decor is beautifully curated, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The food is truly fresh and outstanding, thanks to the incredible talent of co-owner and Chef Roberto Juarez. His culinary skills shine through in every dish, bursting with flavor and showcasing the quality of the ingredients. Whether you're indulging in his signature creations or trying something new, you won't be disappointed.

Adding to the experience, his partner and co-owner James Ashe, who is in charge of the bar, wine and cocktails, crafts some of the most exquisite drinks I've ever tasted. Each cocktail is a masterpiece, perfectly complementing the meal and enhancing the overall dining experience.

Service at Roja is impeccable. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. They go above and beyond to make sure every detail is taken care of.

If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, I highly recommend Roja. It's a place where great food, beautiful ambiance and exceptional service comes together to create a truly special outing. Don't miss out on this gem!“

“This is a welcoming restaurant with a very gracious manager! Three of us had lunch there on Sat. for the first time. We opted for indoor window seating but there is ample and comfortable outdoor seating, as well. The Wiener Schnitzel was tender, the Eggs Benedict tasty, the arugula salad fresh. Next time I will try the Jäger Schnitzel. The Sacher Torte was perfect! We were treated to extra birthday desert--without asking for it--which was a thoughtful gesture. Naschmarkt was spotless clean, and the kitchen ventilation works well. It is very suitably located at the quieter side of California Avenue, close to public parking.“
