43 Best Wine Bars near Los Altos

“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!“

“Le banc is just what Los Altos needs! A low key, no frills bar with good drinks, TV’s to watch your favorite sporting event, darts and the ability to bring in your own food of choice. This place has just the basics and is run by great people who know the biz!“

“authentic Calabrese food - molto bene!“

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

“Excellent place to share Cheers with your friends and family. Salute!“

“Wow! What an experience! This is a truly special bar.

I walked in as someone who didn’t like red wine, and left as a true convert after being guided to exceptional wines, by the extremely knowledgeable owner Manny. Every wine Manny suggested absolutely hit the mark, with my two favourites being a red 2021 Koncha & Co sweet Saperavi from Georgia, and a white Koncha & Co Kisi.

The atmosphere is really cosy and welcoming. Hours will disappear here as it’s so relaxing.

Highly recommend and will be back next weekend!

Oh and the cheese board was Amazing too.“

“We love this local gem and we always try to support them.
Our experiences have always been wonderful.

I do want to point out that I saw an additional “Operations Fee” surcharge of 5% levied on my bill. I personally think this is poor taste and reflects badly on the Management who should be able to run a profitable business with any and all “operational cost” built into their financial models.
You might as well have labeled this “charitable contribution “ or “donation”, or just raise your prices by 5%.“

“Great service - friendly inviting environment“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Great customer service, good food and fine wine 🍷“

“Loved it!! It’s a great place for drinks and snacks!“

“Sat at the bar, by choice. Good selection of fine spirits, especially Japanese whiskey and tequila. Cocktails were very well made and balanced. We also asked for a mocktail modified to be “less sweet” than normal and it came out perfect. Food was great, not outstanding, but I would absolutely eat here again. The truffle fries were a miss for us since the white sauce makes them soggy. Burger and NY steak were exactly as advertised, possibly sous vide on the medium rare steak. The tempura mushrooms stood out to us as one of the best small dishes we ate. The Spanish Octopus was an unusually large tentacle, made me wonder how tender it would be. I prefer to have octopus more on the grilled side and that seemed to be lacking here but the favor was decent. The oysters were delicious!“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“I had dinner with my husband this evening. The food and service were excellent. Both of us agreed that this was one of the best Mediterranean food we had thus far. Everything from the hummus, pomegranate salad, chicken curry and the lamb kebab to the rice and vegetables were flavorful and so well seasoned. The lamb kebab was grilled to perfection and the portion size was great. Thank you for preparing such a great meal. We highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“Best Sabich!!! Their Pita taste good!!! Staff are polite. Quick service!“

“Absolutely phenomenal service and quality for our corporate event that we hosted in a clinic. Allan and Minoo were very responsive and helpful in planning and executing the catering. They went above and beyond in making sure we had enough food, and everything was set up perfectly to make sure the food was hot by the time we served it. Thank you for making our event so memorable!“

“Excellent food, bier selection, and outdoor seating! Traditional fare is fab as is the fish & chips.“

“Amazing location but local individuals are ignorant.Me and my husband had some wine which was amazing ….2 hour later , two Indians came in , ordered and sat next to us . After a few minutes, they started voicing , complaining that we were speaking on the phone (not directly but went to complain to the employee working )Very sad that because we were speaking on the phone “ we were non educated “.Location is very nice but these some local individuals are disgusting.Individual employee serving the wine and attending to the location was amazing :) would come back just because of his service“

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

“If you want a quiet place to enjoy well prepared and curated food, with warm and professional service, and just relax w your favorite people, bistro elan is a gem. Love their ME scallops and seasonal soups. But don't miss the pickled golden beets, Côtes du Rhône by the glass, and desserts! We go for special occasions and also when we just spend time w our grown kids.“

“Absolutely fantastic… I will return!“

“We eat a lot of empanadas (my family lived in Buenos Aires for several years), these are our FAV to purchase when not making at home. So happy to have stumbled on this gem at a farmers market recently, had no idea they had a brick and mortar until we walked by and immediately changed our lunch plans!“

“My husband & I go to flemmings on special occasions, we love everything about the restaurant! Also awesome lemon drops🍸🍸🍸🍸👌😊“

“Very nice ambiance and great service. All staffs look professional and prompt.“

“Had an outstanding lunch at Alexander’s Steakhouse in Cupertino! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Our server Tiffany provided warm, attentive service that made the experience even more enjoyable. Mr. Garcia helped us select a wonderful bottle of wine that paired perfectly with our meal, and Chef Oleg Sheyner truly showcased his culinary talent with every bite. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it a perfect setting for a memorable meal. Highly recommend!“

“We had such a lovely day at House Family Vineyards enjoying their wine flight. The views are absolutely stunning. The $30 flight included 5 wines (2 whites and 3 reds). I’m not usually a Pinot Noir or Zinfandel fan, but I really enjoyed theirs + the Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent. We paired our tasting with the Charcuterie and Cheese kit, which was delicious. Highly recommend visiting for the wine, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff!“

“Ambiance, Ambiance! #outdoorseating#creekside🍷👏🥂🍾🍹🍸🍸“

“This was absolutely fantastic. I hit the big 9.5k here and got my 4th elite here. Elite evo wall breakers are like unstoppable. The data was also great so me and my friends were running the twos the whole time. Overall I rate it 6 out of 7 stars.

Edit: ALRIGHT THIS MY SECOND TIMECOMING HERE. TS WAS LIT BRO. MADE A NEW DECK AND ENTERED FLOWSTATE WITH MINI PEKKA HOLY. Food was hella good i screw with it heavy.“

“Our first time at Broma and it was great! James, our server, is a real pro: knowledgeable and unobtrusive. The menu is very multicultural. I had the chicken liver mousse - delicious! Then the very yummy chicken sandwich. My husband had the tasty crab dip and then the lamb ragout with pappadelle! Outstanding. We had no room for dessert. It's a perfect place before a concert at Shoreline. We will return.“

“Service was wonderful — warm, friendly, and attentive. The tea selection was unique, and I loved being able to see the teas displayed at the tea bar and watch the servers prepare the sachets. The steeping hourglass was a fun and thoughtful touch. However, despite being advertised as a holiday afternoon tea, there was no real seasonal atmosphere — no décor or themed treats. The experience is held in the lobby, which didn't feel particularly festive or intimate. The food itself felt like it had been sitting out for a while, and the table for two was very small, making it tricky to enjoy the tea service comfortably. With more attention to the holiday theme and a more spacious setup, this could be a lovely experience. The staff truly made the visit enjoyable.“

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

“Buenísima atención. Ideal para realizar trabajos, mientras disfrutas de una bebida.“

“I had some time on my hands while my car was getting a new tire installed at American Tire. I walked north for awhile and found this wonderful coffee shop with tables in the blocked off street, free WiFi, great coffee, and friendly staff. I will return whenever I’m in the neighborhood.
