“Everything about this place is awesome. From the manager to the hostess , everyone is greeting you with a smile. There's no member of their staff that don't seem to not want to be there. Everything there is a positive vibe. Cheers.“
“First time a Broma. The overall experience was good, great service, the food was very good but! I was disappointing about how spicy the dishes were (4 of us) . I felt I was at Mexican restaurant (don't get me wrong, I love Mexican food) No one in the group was not expecting to eat spicy dishes, we are all from Spain :-)“
“Scratch was fantastic, with great service and huge portions! If you want some of the best French toast you'll ever have, you can't go wrong. Get it with Nutella for an even better bite. Plenty of outdoor seating or indoor seating with a fireplace makes this a great place to eat with a relaxing vibe.“
“Came here with my girls for happy hour one day and I was actually quite surprised by the quality despite it being on the HH menu! We pretty much ordered everything from the HH selection. We started off with some cocktails which were super refreshing. We got 2 orders of pan con tomate, papas bravas, croquetas de jamon, pintxos morunos, and hamburgers which fed 10 people. If you're coming here for good vibes with a group of people, I would definitely recommend coming during happy hour when it's a little more affordable!“
“They are unique since this is Peruvian cuisine! I had never tried it before. Amazing options for appetizers. I also tried their sour drinks which were awesome and not too sweet, hit the mark with a good kick! Loved their cauliflower appetizer - all menu item names are different (maybe in Peruvian language? )- make sure to read through the details. Empanadas were also amazing. Ambience is classy suitable for a date night or outing with friends. Would not recommend taking young kids since can be loud. Location perfect right on Castro..“
“An absolute favorite that I am sure to visit on every trip to the Bay. Very unique fusions of Indian and Californian flavors with something for every palate. My favorites are the sesame leaf, burrata kulcha, house salad and dry boat scallops. Also don’t sleep on the cocktails. Very nicely crafted.“
“Great ambience, clean and modern. All the food was amazing, we had the chile relleno and chicken mole enchilada and both were delicious. There's desserts off the menu, we had the tres leches which is made to look like a potted plant and the "soil" is the dessert. Must go!“
“EMA Karaoke & Bar in San Jose is a vibrant spot for a night out, offering both an open bar area and individual rooms for rent. The karaoke experience here is a blast, with a diverse selection of songs to choose from. However, if you're expecting gourmet cuisine, you may find the food to be just average. As the night progresses, the bar tends to get crowded after 9 pm, so it's best to arrive early to secure your spot. Despite the crowds, the energy is infectious, adding to the overall excitement.“
“A lovely meal. The chef is super creative in the use of vegetables and original sauces. Nice selection of wines by the glass, which our server was happy to let me taste before ordering. Highly recommend the cauliflower starter and the chickpea risotto, which were quite exceptional. The baked cod however was a bit too salty. And we needed to order some bread to cleanse our palate afterwards. They did offer to remake the fish which was thoughtful, but it would have interrupted the flow of our dinner at that stage. That said, it was a great experience overall. And don't skip the s'mores desert!“
“Puesto never disappoints! Good drinks and amazing food. Our server Masha was outstanding as well. She was very nice and paid attention to our needs. Highly recommend her and the restaurant. Will definitely come back.Vegetarian options: Food is good. Limited vegetarian options though, would love a wider selection.“
“Absolutely amazing experience. From the time we checked in for our reservation, service was very kind and thoughtful and everyone wanted to make sure we had the best time. Stunning dining spaces. Every corner beautifully designed making for an elevated experience. Depending on which spot you pick, you can be sure it will be a distinct experience. Food was stellar and our waiter was absolutely lovely, checking in on us and giving us excellent recommendations. It's been a while since a place swept me off my feet like Sekoya did! Can't wait to come back!“
“My skepticism about vegan food and that it may have only limited choices was shattered at this place. Menu is pretty elaborate and can very well satiate quite a few people with different tastes. Drink options are nice too. Definitely recommending this place, and going back some time soon.“
“We had the most delicious meal last night at Protégé. Each course of the tasting menu was perfection. At the end we couldn't choose a favorite because they were all equally incredible. Our server, Fleur, was so knowledgeable about the food and the wine and gave us wonderful recommendations for the perfect wines to compliment the various courses. The whole experience was wonderful and I can't wait to go back sometime.Dietary restrictions: They made sure they were aware of all of my dietary restrictions and ensured the food I was served was safe for me to eat by making small adjustments when needed.“
“Reservations recommended. It's a fabulous find with fantastic food. This was our second visit, and my partner said the margarita she ordered was a good as our first time. The service was terrific, and the food was hot and delicious. The salsa served with the chips was teetering on the high end of my tolerance, but I'm kind of a lightweight in that regard. The only cautionary note is the environment. The space has tall ceilings and nothing to dampen sound. As a result, it is pretty raucous and lively...not ideal for quiet conversation. I wouldn't want them to change as that's part of the experience.“
“As usual, Flea St takes all the best parts of the farm-to-table method, stays true to the mission without a lot of self-congratulatory stuff, then adds real attentive service and care to every detail such that you feel like they've been just waiting to have you as a guest. The team is warm, professional and skilled - such a joy to have this gem available to us all.“
“Visited on a Saturday evening,without a reservation and it was understandably busy. We couldn't be seated for dinner so we opted for the bar but it was full (I know why!) So we walked around a bit had dinner elsewhere and returned about 1 hour later. Though it seemed to get busier, two seats at the bar freed up and we jumped in. It was totally worth the wait. The drinks were great! You can taste the craftsmanship in every drink. I'd definitely return, and this time with a dinner reservation.As a bonus, there was a live DJ and he was playing some good Spanish jams! (I was pleasantly surprised!). Can't wait to come back for another date night here.“
“Great atmosphere for a date night! We ordered the salmon tartare, rose tteokbokki, and kfc cauliflower for appetizers. All of them were great but I was most impressed by the tteokbokki!We followed with the short ribs and the basque cheesecake dessert. They were good but the appetizers were more impressive. I was also disappointed that they no longer did the sweet potato chiffon cake :(“
“Ambiance is arty, comfortable and lovely. Menu had great choices and the 3 of us were so pleased with our choices. I brought home the leftovers and they were just as delicious the next day. We had the mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, shrimp and the crab ‘taco'. The winter sangria was delicious and full body with rich red wine and port YUM just right for this time of year!“
“Have been dying to come here and finally made it! Went with my friends and we all had a great time. It's super pretty inside. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, but didn't hover and let us chat and catch up. We had the scallops, beet salad, risotto, chocolate cake, key lime pie and then of course the drinks! Had to get the kiss the bubble drink (Instagram worthy), snow storm, kiwi do you love me, and cantarito. The meal was good, but the drinks and desserts were what we would come back for. The chocolate and the key lime were gorgeous, presentation wise, and so good! Definitely make a reservation as it fills up fast. Can't wait to go back!“
“Enjoyed a nice brunch on Sat morning around 11 am, was not too crowded and got seated right away without reservations. We had 2 dogs with us and their outdoor seating was pretty nice. I got the Tacos Verdes which were very tasty and the agua fresca watermelon. Service was very attentive and food quality was fresh .I would recommend it“
“I absolutely love The Vesper! The decor is so beautiful, the vibe is fun, and the drinks and food are outstanding. It feels like you are sitting in someone's swanky living room with a bunch of your good friends. You can sit at the bar, a table, or their comfy couches at the front.....All dishes are shareable so that is a fun vibe too. Will be back!“
“Near a curve on a four line road is an eclectic older Mexican restaurant with artistic merit, interesting landscaping outdoor dining and several different kinds of tables and chairs indoors, including a bar.The menu has several options many of which I had not seen in Mexican food places before. I have tried their tamales, chili relleno, black beans, pinto beans, rice, grilled chicken, quesadilla, pico, guacamole, and the provided chips and salsa. All of the flavors are excellent. The green sauce and masa of the tamale, and the firm aged relleno cheese filling were outstanding.Indoors is Mexican music, while outdoors there is traffic noise. The tortilla chips are the thin triangle bagged kind. The restroom has an old sink and fixtures. But the custom artwork, high ceilings with paper fiesta decor and painted furniture are classic south of the border. The seats are all flat wood, no cushions. No sauce bar or extra hot sauce present. Will need another visit to try the mole.Vegetarian options: Enchiladas are great.“
“The ambiance and service here is top notch and we really enjoyed our meal. Unfortunately the food was just a little bland and the Chorizo Benedict tasted much more like a tomato sauce than chorizo but the chilaquiles were very good. The drink menu was the best part with great bloody Marys and non alcoholic options.“
“Always amazing food and great vibe. My favorite oyster bar on the West Coast. They recently expanded the wine selection, which is awesome. One member of my family is a vegetarian and her options were limited to just salad or sides (they were out of the pasta). So some work is needed on expanding vegetarian options. Would be a perfect score and I love this place, but this time the 2nd round of drinks and bread took forever to get to the table. That oyster bake is very rich and without an accompanying libation just doesn't reach its full potential.“
“We split the crabcake appetizer, which was moist and delicious and then split the Prawns in a cream sauce. The entree came as two dishes with 3-4 prawns each and generous portions of rice and mixed veggies. The only negative comment is that prices continue to rise.“
“Having visited Chef Chu in Los Altos on multiple occasions, I've found the dining experience to be generally pleasant, albeit with room for improvement. The restaurant boasts some delectable dishes and a welcoming atmosphere, but there are notable areas that could be enhanced.Firstly, cleanliness standards need attention, particularly regarding glassware and cutlery. On several visits, I've observed dirty glasses and teacups, suggesting subpar cleaning practices. It's perplexing for a renowned establishment to overlook such basic hygiene, leaving patrons questioning the maintenance standards.Another aspect warranting consideration is the imposition of a limited dining time. Despite patrons wishing to linger and enjoy conversation after finishing their meals, there appears to be a rush to clear tables, even if dishes still contain food. This policy detracts from the relaxed dining experience expected at a high-profile restaurant like Chef Chu.On a positive note, interactions with some waitstaff have been delightful, reflecting the friendly ambiance cultivated by Chef Chu himself. However, consistent efforts are required to ensure all aspects of service align with the restaurant's esteemed reputation.Regarding the cuisine, while some dishes excel, others may fall short of expectations. It seems that char siu might not be the restaurant's forte, highlighting areas where culinary refinement could elevate the overall dining experience.“
“We had a phenomenal waiter. I asked about gluten free options since the menu was not marked, and he took me through the menu to explain what could and could not be safely prepared without cross contamination. Unfortunately, not many safe options! There are very few gluten-containing items, but they spoil most of the menu for me due to a shared fryer - so no homemade tortilla chips for me! The cocktails were great, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the staff were friendly. I just wish they would modify kitchen practices to be more celiac friendly.Dietary restrictions: Minimal truly gluten free items due to cross contamination“
“Had lunch here with a friend. He ordered fish and chips and I had the tomato soup with brioche croutons..delicious. And the chicken salad..which was fairly generous serving and included baby tomatoes, and bacon and brie cheese. Parking is easy and service was good and it was relatively quiet and easy to have a good conversation“
“Came on a Thursday night before it got too busy, I left when it was full! Got pretty wasted , in a good way. Living walking distance is awesome.The duck fat cocktail sounded better than it tasted. Followed it up with a classic drink j forgot the name of lol. They are strong , and I love that ! Great neighborhood cocktail spot I hope it stays“
“Supports local comedy. Karaoke. Pool table. Fun vibe. I have been to the Plaza so many times, and I would've never thought that I would find a bar like this in the middle of this Plaza. It's got a pool table in the back. There's a little stage for local talents. The owner is super cool. He completely supports local entertainment and arts. He's really easy to work with. The bar keeps are all chill and easy to get along with. Tiffani is so sweet and has such a good heart. Dan has been so helpful and has gone out of his way to make the experience here. Absolutely amazing. I know I'm gonna keep coming back.“
“Had a wonderful lunch here. Sat at the bar where there's a demonstration kitchen. Great food. Had an avocado turkey club with a salad that was refreshing. The sub sandwich had wonderful flavors.Also had a cucumber refresher that was delicious.“
“From the service, to wait time, to food. This place is top notch. Best dumplings I’ve had in the Bay Area and yes I have tried a lot. I’m not getting paid for this review although I wish I was. Really good dumplings, try them out and get the chili “
“Came in on a Tuesday morning a few minutes after they had opened . We were greeted right away & were able to order quickly once seated - The decor is so cute & modern. I had ordered #25 bun bo hue & my mother had ordered #20 rib bone phone along side with some fried rice (#34) . Everything was excellent, the meat was so tender & the broth had such a great umami flavor to it that it was damn near addicting which made every bite bursting with flavor . Will definitely be coming back, with more people to enjoy“
“The new Cetrella location is the shining star in the Los Altos culinary scene. Great ambience and the food is Michelin quality- exceptionally fresh ingredients with a skilled chef who really knows Mediterranean flavors. As always, owner Mamet is attentive and engaging. Best meal we've had in months!!! “
“I visited during a company outing host by a local corporation. We were treated to aspread that allowed a taste of almost everything on the menu. The descriptions are accurate, and the ingredients all tasted fresh. I would definitely bring friends and family there on a personal trip.“
“Ok. So, this is an older crowd for sure but I had the best time here. The band was great and everyone was dancing - recipe for a great night. The bar had two bartenders that Friday night . Plenty of seating area but I didn't check out the restroom situation so idk. I would go back“
“Redwood Grill is my favorite place to go. The staff there makes me feel so welcomed, they already know how we like our food and our favorite drinks. I like to escape with my husband and have our time together. Sometimes to watch a sports game, sometimes to talk about business, or to have a date night. Other times I bring the whole family and even my friends after a PTO meeting. I have celebrated several family events at both locations. This restaurant has become a tradition to me. My favorite dish is the beet salad with a nice grilled salmon on top. My kids love the wings and bacon burger. My favorite drink is called “By the fire” this isn’t on the menu but sometimes I get spoiled and they prepare for me. I hope you can enjoy this restaurant as much as we do.“
“Very surprised they let us make a reservation at 6:15p but the restaurant closes at 6:30p. Turned out the serving staff is great and we get the whole restaurant to ourselves but we didn't feel comfortable to stay for too long since we were keeping the staff from closing up the shop.“
“Lovely experience with the Alice in Wonderland Tea! We had the Earl Grey Oolong tea, which was mildly disappointing (very little flavor), but the pastries more than made up for it! Three tea sandwiches, a perfectly baked blueberry scone, and three tiers of cakes and sweets. The best part was the setting, though. The place is covered flowers and beautifully decorated.“
“Fun and friendly place with an eclectic crowd! Even though this was our first time here, the DJ who was running karaoke greeted us and asked if we wanted to participate (we were happy to just hang out, but next time for sure). My husband enjoyed his Blue Moon with a fresh orange garnish and my vodka soda was nice and strong. The place was clean and they had decor up for the holidays. Would come back for sure!“
“Lovely and so much fun! Friends and I came in for our bdays brunch. The service, food, drinks and the atmosphere were top tier! The group do what they can to make your day the best experience you can have! We had a fantastic time!! ??? chef’s kiss!“
“I recently had the pleasure of hosting an event at Angelicas, and I cannot praise them enough! From the very start, the entire team were incredibly responsive and accommodating. Crystal, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our event was perfect. Her professionalism and attention to detail made the planning process smooth and stress-free. The ambiance of the venue was fantastic, creating the perfect atmosphere for our event. Our guests were delighted, and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend Angelicas for any event, and I must say, Crystal's exceptional customer service truly made our experience memorable. Thank you, Crystal, and the Angelicas team, for exceeding our expectations!“
“Extreme friendly neighborhood bar. People here are modest and very friendly. The first day they paid for my beer, the second time they invited me to play a pool. Bartender is very responsive and friendly. If you're living in the neighborhood or a visitor,you must visit to feel true American spirit there.“
“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!“
“All the food I tasted was deli and no, it's not all pictured here. FYI, this is not a "Mexican" restaurant, it's Peruvian. All delicious but don't expect Mexican staples. The service was friendly and quick. Only thing is, they didn't ask how we wanted our check and they brought it all together and it was as always, a pain in the ass to split. Ambiance is nice, private, quiet and comfortable. Not being from here, we are reeling from the costs and taxes but oh well.“
