Tapas Restaurants near Mountain View, CA

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

“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!“

“A bit of a hidden gem, off MTV main strip, inside a hotel so you won't just see it from the street. The food was really good and so were the cocktails, the ambiance is classy although it has a bit of that hotel lounge look. It was quite empty for a Friday evening, seems a bit underrated, maybe because of the location.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“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!“

“We had such a great experience at Kappo. We came on a Thursday evening and sat at the counter which made the whole meal even more fun because we could watch the chefs prepare and plate everything right in front of us!

The tasting menu was creative. Some of my favorites were the halibut, duck broth with miso noodles, taco dorado, and the Liberty Farms duck. The dessert with fig brulee was also such a good ending. Everything felt thoughtful, beautifully presented with interesting flavors.

What I really liked was how intimate and relaxed the experience felt. The passionate chefs (executive chef Nik and sous chef Gryphon) were warm and engaging so it felt less like a formal tasting menu and more like being invited into their kitchen.

Definitely a special addition to Palo Alto and a place I come back to for a date night or celebration! Yummmm! thank you Nik, Gryphon and Nick for a wonderful evening“

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.

You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.

You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.

The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“I think this is a good restaurant“

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

“One Fish absolutely lived up to the hype. I love that the menu changes constantly with the seasons, so there’s always a reason to come back. Every dish felt fresh, thoughtful, and packed with interesting flavor combinations that somehow just worked.

I mixed hot and cold dishes and everything was outstanding. The oysters with their accompaniments were incredibly fresh, the halibut and kanpachi were beautifully prepared, and the fried chicken with sauce and caviar was one of the most unexpectedly delicious bites I’ve had in a long time. The sake selection was excellent as well.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. Great music, a clean and intentional space, and genuinely friendly service. Walked in without a reservation, but it’s nice that they can accommodate both walk-ins and reservations.

Chef Owner Trent was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he’s creating. Skipped the omakase this visit, but after this meal it’s at the top of my list for next time. One Fish is inventive without being pretentious, and it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to every month to see what’s new.“

“delicious! lots of vegetarian options!“

“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“

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.“

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

“By far was this is the best Mexican food I've ever had. A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it!“

“TANTO Japanese Restaurant was a wonderful dining experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with each dish feeling thoughtfully made. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back again!“

“I have had at least a half dozen meals at the Sundeck in the last month. The location is very convenient to the 3000 Sand Hill Office complex, as well as the Sand Hill Circle Residential condos. You can sit indoors or outdoors and have a beautiful view of the Woodside Hills. For breakfast I particularly recommend the egg white omelette and their delicious scones. They also make an excellent latte. Their takeout counter is also excellent. Tables are set up for between two and eight persons, and there has always been plenty of room.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The G.O.A.T. of Silicon Valley Cuisine?
In my 30+ years of living and dining in Silicon Valley, I’ve sometimes wondered if, beyond “California Cuisine,” there is also a “Silicon Valley Cuisine.” I think this may be the best of it.

After a few visits to Valley Goat, I think this might be the greatest of all time places that reflects what I love about Valley Food. The East Asia, South Asia, and Latin America influences are evident. So are reminders of the Alice Waters farm-to-table paradigm. The sharable dining possibilities also seem part of Valley Cuisine culture. All of this is nestled in a little green oasis created by the Tree House Hotel and Beer Garden near campuses of Google, Meta, and Juniper. Everything we’ve shared there has been novel yet also familiar while appearing and tasting simply amazing. It feels like every dish is very much what I imagine as phenomenal and resonant Valley Cuisine.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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! 🍹“

“Absolutely incredible Indian food! The Lamb Rogan Josh is hands-down the best I’ve ever tasted—tender, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. The Dal Makhani and Biryani were just as amazing. If you want authentic Indian flavors, this place is a must-visit!“

“Amazing! One of the best restaurants in Cupertino“
