“This place is Amazing! The food and drinks (wine) was fresh! They had truffle popcorn and charcuterie boards which is very Upscale if you know your foods! The price was awesome and very reasonable. The owner (Manuel Vasquez) and his staff was very hospitable. I will stop in everytime I am in California. I'm from Michigan and we need more Wine Bar's here. I absolutely loved the items mentioned above. My friend loved it also, even though he never heard of truffle and charcuterie. This Wine Bar also had great pizza's. Love this place!!!!“
“The quality of food here is excellent. The availability of some of the menu options also depends on whether you visit for lunch, dinner, or brunch. The dinner menu is a bit limited and I wish they added Weisswurst and Wiener Schnitzel (veal) back to the dinner menu. But overall, dining at Ludwig’s is a great experience. My favorites are the Jägerschnitzel and the Currywurst. They also have a great selection of beers, of course, and the cocktail options are great as well.Parking: Small parking lot in back of restaurant plus plenty of street parking near by“
“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 :-)“
“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.“
“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!“
“Sat in the back patio, which was nice and warm and covered. Food was solid. We didn’t like the pear burrata special, but the pizzas were quality (we got the sausage honey and sausage broccolini pizzas). The bread pudding dessert was solid too. Overall, recommend this “
“This is my first time visiting Itálico for my birthday! The food is excellent. The service was phenomenal and everyone absolutely delightful. Michael was so attentive and hospitable! He genuinely wanted to get to know my family and I, and was so sweet. Super profesional and kind to all. He made my family feel super welcomed and felt like a queen on my birthday! Our server was also Carlos was absolutely excellent and gave amazing service to us and everyone else!! He was so funny and always made sure we were all good. I recommend everyone try this restaurant! Graziie Mille Michael . -Haydee “
“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!“
“We love Vino Locale! Nice ambiance, great wine list, and solid snacks to enjoy. Of of the best things about Vino Locale is that the wine list isn't just the same 5 wines that you see at many other places, they offer a great variety of domestic & international wines, and treat each one well. I love the Sancerre on the menu, and appreciate that they offer 6oz or 9oz pours, half bottles, and full bottles. The Black Cabra Cabernet Sauvignon and Miraval Rose are also among my favorites. In terms of food items, I usually gravitate toward the chicken skewers are a good option and come with a few flavor/sauce options. The beet salad is good, and I often get their Brussels sprouts (know what to expect, though: they're not fried/crispy, but are tasty - served with parmesan, cranberries, almonds, and optional bacon). The cheese plates and hummus platter are also good, reliable options. Service is so friendly! They have a nice dog-friendly patio (and often have a few treats for pups), and live music most Thursday evenings.“
“First time yesterday for a casual date night. Reservation was a bit hard to secure, but once booked, we were followed up on multiple times to know our ETA. When we arrived on a busy Saturday night, we were whisked back immediately to our desired corner window table.We knew what we wanted beforehand and was happy the items were not “sold out” (happened more times than you think it’s possible).For appetizer, we split the Black Truffle Soup in two, and it was a good thing we did it since the amount was just right, more so as we planned to have the Dry Aged Ribeye as the entree.The ribeye (we both had it medium rare) was one of the very best I’ve had in recent times (and I’ve been to quite a few expensive restaurants in SF over the last 6 months) - it was flavorful, juicy and well marbled, perfectly complemented by the Bordelaise sauce.I will definitely come back here again, just for the Ribeye!“
“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 :(“
“Higher-end, likely one of the best Korean BBQ places in Silicon Valley! Stylish decoration and ambiance are appropriate for the cuisine and culture. Good service with refills on side dishes. Beyond the barbecue, a-la-carte items are good also with no skipping on the ingredients!“
“The food is great, and they have several interesting dishes on the menu that I haven't seen at other Mediterranean places. The ambiance is pretty nice, too (it used to be super brightly lit, but they’ve since fixed that and placed small lamps on each table, which makes for a super cozy vibe)“
“It's challenging in California to find a pizza that reminds me of NYC, here they make a delicious pie with "color"! NO BLONDE CALIFORNIA PIZZA!!! The grilled octopus appetizer was delightful, tasty good size on top of arugula...WELL DONE.Tiramisu is delicious. They also have a very nice, albeit small wine selection. We'll be back!!“
“Found my #2 Wine Spectator Top 100 at Bistro Jeanty right after the announcement. Not only I could secure couple them online immediately, when I picked them up at the store, John said he had couple more bottles hidden somewhere in the shop and asked if I wanted them. Serious? Of course, I snatched couple more in a heartbeat. The best part was the last batch was 10% off due to whatever reason. That's insane! The price of this bottle literally went up 20% easy right after #2 wine announcement at WS. I couldn't expect anything more than that. Very honest business owner!“
“I don’t know why this restaurant doesn’t have a line outside the door! The food is always delicious and fresh. The menu is small but PERFECT. They change things up slightly seasonally and I’ve never eaten anything there that wasn’t 10/10.“

“Flemings earns 5 stars for me because it hits all the levels for this style of restaurant.That is to say; a high food standard restaurant operating inside a large corporate business zone. So your atmosphere is clean, light and casual enough for work team dinners while still having an up scale appearance & feel.Clearly defined open bar space and well stocked wine selection.Parking: The main parking lot serves all the local business in the center so it is dynamic. You can drive around until something opens, or you can use the parking garage that adds a bit more of a walk.They have their own valet service right at the front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: While we dined we noticed a few families with younger children & even babies & toddlers. The accomodations appeared to work for them & the other patrons.“
“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“
“Stumbled upon this cafe waiting for an appointment. Had the tomato mozzarella sandwich on gluten free bread and a tea. It was delicious but the staff was really impressive. Kind, helpful and efficient. Wish I tipped more. Would definitely return!“
“Great place for wine tasting and small family get together, they also accept small parties and can close place for you to make it private. Service is fantastic and food tastes great from small appetizers to a meat and pizza. Thank you for making it very delicious and special.“
“The service deserves 5 stars. Everyone was nice, friendly and attentive. From the person in the front who sat us down, the bartender who made our drinks and everyone who helped us during our visit. Joe was amazing throughout our whole experience. -The missing 1 star is for the steak. I debated with 3 or 4 stars (more 1.5 but can't really do a .5) so 4 it is. As a lot of other reviews mentioned the steak was bland and that is definitely true.The portion was a let down as well, reminded me of Texas roadhouse or even an outback when they served more types of steaks a long time ago. With that said definitely enjoyed my steaks and chops at Texas Roadhouse more. I was expecting more steak for the price and some flavor. None of the sauce helped the steaks :( -Popcorn crab was amazing. Mixture of big and small lump of crab. We enjoyed this appetizer a lot with the aioli. This was my favorite. -For lunch you get an amuse Bouche (Dinner gets bread service). It was veggie soup and a croissant. The flavor of the soup was good coming from someone who hates veggies. Wish it was a little bigger portion. -Salmon was good. -Skip the sweet corn, it wasn't sweet and tasted more like can. -Truffle fries is our second favorite. Not too overpowering and pretty crunchy. I may not recommend this place for steak based on our first visit but worth the visit for other items on their menu. Will most likely come back some other time and try something else. Interested to try the 50/50 burger. What could go wrong with something made of 50% bacon :)“
“My friend visited me last weekend and we decided that we wanted to go to a steakhouse. This place was just amazing. The service and the food was just spectacular. I ordered a tomahawk and it was just delicious. It was perfectly cooked to my liking and I will be returning here again.“
“This is a very atmospheric place on the whole Santana row. Highly recommend to visit. I visited more than ten thousands of restaurants and bars in my life and definitely can tell, this is one of my favorite places. Very polite staff members, beautiful and relaxing music and a good choice of wines ?. I tried almost everything in there. European union, Pink, Red set etc. Pick Caprese salad as the appetizer.“
“We looove this place so much for its delicious food, cozy atmosphere and great service. We ordered a catering from this restaurant for our son’s first birthday party and it was fantastic. Everyone liked how the food was packed and how it tasted. Everything has been delivered on time which is super important. Highly recommend this place for those who love Spanish food and a home-like environment.“
“Excellent for happy hour - food items at half off, and they taste pretty good. Wine choices are underwhelming but a good deal for members (20-30% off list price). Tasting event was busy but wines were meh. This location is a bit small, so it feels crowded and noisy. Even tables were so small that there wasn’t enough room for the food! No patio seating as Castro is blocked off - in fact, the neighborhood vibe has seriously degraded. The Los Gatos location is much more attractive and spacious (outdoor seating).“
