Tapas Restaurants near Mountain View, CA

“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!“

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.“

“Love this place when they’re for a company happy hour good wine good finger food nice atmosphere on the patio with a fire pit. This is attached to Shashi hotel right next to the computer, history, museum, and the century movie theater.
The waiters were excellent good service“

“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.“

“Beautiful place, nice service! It’s my first this place,maybe soon again!“

“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.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

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

“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!“

“What a hidden gem! The snowflake potstickers are so crispy and juicy, best enjoyed in the restaurant! My son gets so excited to go here before his baseball practice. My daughter loves their soup dumplings, and the fried rice is our family favorite. Staff is always kind.“

“This was a truly special meal and every bite hit it out of the park. The tasting menu is creative and robust, and we were full by the end of it.

I’ve been telling people it was the best meal I’ve had this year, and that still holds true almost into May! I’m so glad we chose to spend an evening here and I can’t wait to come back.

Standouts were the raw fish round with the salmon dish with thin apple slices and the tuna with what I think was a red pepper puree. The hamachi crudo and the oysters were outstanding, as was the liver mousse crustini. The grilled fish with bao buns was my favorite warm dish.

My only critique is the dessert was a bit too rich for my taste. What a problem😂“

“I think this is a good restaurant“

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“My fiancé visited this location to today and it was wonderful l. The atmosphere was great, the food, absolutely delicious, and the service was great! Such a nice guy! Didn’t catch his name unfortunately but he was really nice. My fiancé and I will definitely be back.“

“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“

“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!“

“Barebottle in Bernal Heights is top notch and has been since they opened. Although the beer in the Menlo Park location is still great, it's weird that it's in Menlo Park. The space seems like it's straight out of a catalog like most things in Menlo Park.“

“This place is PERFECT for a casual business meeting over a great meal and/or just a great spot to grab a delicious meal for lunch while also getting some work/study done.
The customer service is A1 friendly and personable staff. U can choose indoor or outdoor dining either choice is a win. This place is clean and the food was better than expected tbh. The steak salad with the lemon vinegrette 😋 The chicken Marsala is definitely my favorite I drive 20minutes out of my way to get it at least twice a week I promise its a must try! I went there for business the first time and now I find its a great place for a 1st date as well😉 The pizza is great as well which they offer by the slice or whole. I promise u will not b let down by anything u order.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“For 3 yrs always stay at Aloft it’s like my second home , the ambiance is very nice, front desk clerk are polite and friendly , the bar , waiting area , restaurant and the swimming pool are very nice , the rooms are big, and parking area“

“Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food.“

“Tacos dorado and enchiladas with dry fried beef! Got chicken tacos. The tacos were so crispy and meat was very flavorful! The enchiladas with dry fried beef was interesting. The beef is like a crispy beef jerky texture. I had a language barrier when ordering so just point what you want on the menu.“

“Everything was great need to put more food its will be better 😎“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing! One of the best restaurants in Cupertino“
