“We were going to a movie next door so we stopped in to have a glass of wine and a Negroni. Decided to order the Fresh Onion Bread with marinara and to us it's very craveable! We met Geoff the manager who also served us and told him that we'd be back for dinner after the movie. We sat at the bar and it's the first time that I've ever seen an ice bar.
Ordered the Baked Eggplant Mostaccioli plus Spaghetti with Meatballs. Both dishes were really good! Geoff came over and greeted us. Our bartender Ainslee was really nice and attentive.“

“I always love my experience here at The Diner of Los Gatos when I come into the area to visit family. We come here every time, a tradition. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and it’s a fun place to bring my grandson.“

​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!“

“Stevie's Bar & Grill in San Jose isn't just a bar, it's a sanctuary for the soul and a paradise for beer enthusiasts. Each time I return to San Jose, Stevie's is my go-to spot, a reliable haven where the beer flows as freely as the good times. With a draft beer selection that's second to none, Stevie's is like a grand library of brews, each one a story waiting to be savored. The attentive staff elevates the experience, making sure your glass is never empty and your spirits are always high. The vibe here is electric yet welcoming, a perfect backdrop for the delectable snackable treats they serve. And if you're in a crunch for time, the adjacent laundromat turns a chore into a chance for relaxation – sip and savor while you spin and rinse! Stevie's is more than a bar; it's a clever twist on the traditional, a gem that makes San Jose shine a little brighter.“

“Perfect for watch parties.“

“Great downtown San Jose spot with cool bartenders“

“Friendly place.. delicious pizza.. the crust was superb.. nice melty cheese.. tasty garlic bread & mango habanero wings..😋“

“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“

“A go-to spot for me. I love IPAs and my taste buds are always suuper happy with the selection at this location! I love to sit out on the patio and get some sunshine and I like that they do a stamp card when you buy beer to go. It's a little perk that keeps me coming back! :) Everyone who works here is really nice

It's usually best for 4 or less people bc you'll get split up by seating. 2 people is kinda perfect. Note bc this got us and I always forget but no kids are allowed aha“

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

“Great food! My moms first time and couldn’t stop raving about the chicken adobo and the halo halo. It’s pricey but good. And the staff is very nice.“

“Great food and always good service!“

“Really delicious food yummy mimosas everyone very friendly I love this place...“

“This Korean BBQ restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! The quality of the beef is outstanding — easily comparable to the Hanwoo beef I’ve had in Korea. You can really taste how premium and fresh the meat is, especially when grilled.

The banchan (side dishes) selection is also very generous and well-prepared, offering great variety and authentic flavors. A special shoutout to their seasonings and sauces — the sauce selection is way more extensive than most Korean BBQ spots, and each one pairs perfectly with the meat.

Most importantly, this place is not just about BBQ. Their braised spicy pork ribs (the famous Korean spicy rib stew) are incredibly flavorful and deeply marinated, with the sauce soaking into every bite. It’s rich, spicy, and absolutely comforting.

Oh, BTW. Our sever is absolutely amazing, super helpful and very nice .

If you’re looking for authentic Korean flavors, high-quality meat, and amazing sauces all in one place, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommended!“

“My oh my was I in for a surprise! The food was pretty good I got fish ceviche (I was hungover 😅) and it was very tasty and prepared right. My only hickup was there was something weird and stringy mixed in with it. I still ate most of it but thats one thing that tripped me out. Not enough to give them less than 4 starts tho. The staff was very friendly and all of my requests were answered. Looking forward to going back again.“

“Stopped by on a lazy Saturday early afternoon. Was pretty quiet for lunch (which I like). We sat at the bar and had a pizza and some beer. There was a pretty good selection of beers that were also uploaded to the untapped app.
I like the old school vibe of the place, very 'little Italy', bar was marble and the whole place was put together very well, lots of unique and quirky items about the place.
There is a larger seating area on the other side of the bar which also had a large selection of wines adorning the wall, that section had a more moody ambience. I preferred the bar area.
Bathrooms were super clean.
I really liked the pizza which felt like it came out almost instantly after we ordered. Staff were very efficient.
After eating and drinking we were pretty stuffed. Would stop by again.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.“

“The beer that is brewed here is 10 out of 10. I come out of my way to go here when I'm looking for top notch craft beer. They also have a fantastic selection of local breweries on their taps, but I never order anything but the house beers here. THEY'RE THAT GOOD.“

“Nice and easy for the kids and all the people in the family“

“This is some of the best Thai food I have found in the Bay Area. Their curries in particular have quite a smooth flavor - I would recommend the Panang, the Red, or the Massaman. I find it hard to tear myself away from those, but when I do, I have had an enjoyable time with both the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. And if one is getting takeout and wants rice to eat later, the Siam Fried Rice is great. Tomato in fried rice is not something I have seen before, but it tastes great in this! Frankly, I'm surprised I rarely have to worry about getting a spot - this place is astonishingly under-utilized for being so amazing. Probably because a lot of folks do not know about them, but they keep my vegetarian partner well fed, and she is a bit of a picky eater besides, so I would like to keep them around and in business! Finally, they are doing an amazing job of staying open and efficient during the Covid-19 crisis, implementing better order/online and cheap delivery options. Thank you so much Thai Erawan for doing a great job, and I hope more people eat there so that you can always be around! (Oh, and the heart-shaped rice-moulds just happened to be very on point the first few times I brought my partner there - so extra points in my book for that!)“

“Best tritip!! best potato salad!!! best beans!!! best garlic bread!!! best customer service!!! The only BBQ I will ever eat here in south bay! prayers they come to san mateo and alameda County fairs next summer! and state fair!“
