“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love Urban Plates! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality. The salads are vibrant and crisp, the proteins are cooked to perfection, and I can always count on their delicious, house-made sauces to elevate each meal. The option to customize my plate allows me to explore new flavors while sticking to my dietary preferences. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their favorites. Plus, the commitment to sustainability and using local ingredients makes me feel good about my choices. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Urban Plates never disappoints. It’s truly one of my favorite spots to enjoy fresh, wholesome food!”

“My husband and I lived in San Jose two years ago and came back to visit. This is an incredible and welcomed find. The beer was both delicious and made with unique ingredients that gave their beers a distinct edge. We didn’t eat while here but the menu had some great choices. We will definitely be back on our next visit.”

“Excellent, authentic, very tasty. Ida the owner and chef very attentive.. nice patio seating.. 5 easy stars”
“This Korean spot is truly a hidden gem. The flavors are intense, rich, and delicious, and everything we tried was packed with taste. The seafood pancake, kimchi soup, and cheese ribs were all amazing and definitely worth ordering. The restaurant has a clear specialty in Korean comfort food, and the quality of the dishes really stands out. The main drawbacks are the long wait during peak hours and the small dining area, but the food makes it worth being patient. Definitely a great spot if you’re looking for flavorful Korean dishes.”

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.”
“Good experience Very good waiter/waitresses. Very good music Very good grupos Food was delicious Drinks were so refreshing I will go back all the time and recommend anyone who haven’t been there to go”

“Wow, finally an authentic caribbean restaurant in the south bay. The food is amazing, the owners are delightful, and they give you a great portion of food. On top of that, you really get an island vibe while dining in with the music and the server's authentic love for what they do. Highly recommend ?”
“December 2025 - BEST Bún Chả in the Bay Area. This iconic grilled pork dish, a specialty from North Vietnam, can be found at this family run counter in the Lion Plaza Food Court.
I only come here for my Grilled Pork with rice noodle and fresh herbs. Their special Fish Sauce is what makes this dish so good. Together with the grilled pork aroma, the sauce brings out a deep and sweet harmony in every bite.
For an authentic taste of Vietnam Northern cuisine, this is the place to go to.”
“So *happy* this place exists!!! The braised mock pork and daikon dish was delicious and very satisfying. I grew up eating this kind of food so it was nostalgic :) glad I can still experience it in some way. The owners/staff are always so friendly and warm! Looking forward to coming back already.”
“Food is nothing short of amazing. Large menu and especially good for vegetarians and those who are into healthy options and unwilling to sacrifice taste. Really good kids menu. It's crowded and loud on Friday night, so you'll need a little patience if you go then.”
“I recommend this place to all Asia people want try to eat healthy. I really love their food so much even I rain sprinkled rain outside I still want get my favorite foods such as bread and bowls lemon grass. I was recommended this place by other persons. Especially Curtis and Ethan is Kind very and respectful”
“Absolutely delicious food!
My favorites are the amok catfish, yellow curry with chicken, and eggplant with tofu. Amazing flavors!
The owner, Brian, is really funny!
They are only open for weekday lunches and there's no curb appeal so this is not a date night restaurant.
There is limited and narrow parking in a tiny lot on the other side of the street. I find it is usually easier to park on the residential street and walk a short distance.”
“Had a fantastic brunch experience here! The food and drinks came out quickly, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the visit. The red chilaquiles with carnitas were a must-try—packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy a slow, comfortable meal. Great service, amazing food, and a welcoming vibe make this a spot I’d happily return to again.”

“Pleasantly impressed by Uyghur Cuisine. Tried skewered lamb, mutton, home made noodle, soup & yogurt dessert. All Good & will certainly revisit”
“If you're craving Cambodian cuisine, make sure to visit Angkor Chef, a fantastic Cambodian restaurant located in downtown San Jose. Owned by Channy Laux - Chef and her husband, they've been serving up delicious dishes for about 6 months now. Tina and I were thoroughly impressed by their excellent service and mouthwatering food. The restaurant boasts a sleek and modern design, and we particularly loved the beef skewers (សាច់គោចាកាក់). We definitely will come back for more. #supportlocalbusiness #khmerfood”
“I am so lucky to find this Restaurant.
Food is so delicious, plenty parking, nice and clean area.
Restaurant is very clean, Service and Food amazing.
Big menu to choose from either breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You will love it. Price are not high compared with other places.”
“TBH I was hesitant at first to eat at Acopia. As a vegan, most Mexican restaurants do not usually have options for me. Their menu is somewhat minimal and limited, so entered with few expectations or hopes that I could order anything more than a salad. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The owner came to our table and was most accommodating. I ordered a succulent nopales salad, street corn and some delicious blue corn sopes de calabasita (zucchini and flower). It was all quite tasty and I was even more surprised when she brought out some vegan mayo AND vegan cheese to top off my food with more flavor. The atmosphere is very modern and simply styled, mirroring their “chic” food menu. I found the food delicious though a bit on the bland side, but was grateful that they came through for me and my vegan diet. I left sated and happy that I could fully participate in the meal alongside my meat-eating friends. The owner was very thoughtful and really went out of her way to make sure I had plenty of choices to order. Although it was a bit pricey, I will definitely go back again. The modern ambiance, the attentive service and the fancy yet rustic food combined to make a lovely evening meal.”
“I'm a first timer... after arriving to pickup I just wanted to sit there and eat. The waitress was helpful and inviting. I usually leave places because of ptsd or being the only chocolate chip in the cookie. However I left there and wanted to practice my Spanish so when I return, I'm official. Great vibe, beautiful food, family friendly, solo friendly, date night.. can't wait to reorder.”
“This is the best halal restaurant i have found ever the food was too good and the members were so kind as well the food doesn’t feel heavy after eating.its make your stomach very satisfied and happy
Must go to place if you want to try Vietnamese food”
“Met a friend for drinks! Bartender was friendly and engaging! Atmosphere was energetic and their appetizer meatballs were amazing! Will definitely go back! ❤️”

“Asma is incredibly passionate about what she makes and has impressive attention to detail! Not only does she make incredibly tasty food, she cares about presentation. She’s also extremely collaborative and an excellent communicator! I put my entire trust in her and she exceeded all expectations! She’s a gem and her service is top-notch!”
“I love this Dennys !! I was so sad to hear that Juan no longer works here !! Hes been our waiter forever !! But on a good note, his replacement is Awesome ! Forgot how to say her name . She has many tattoos and is always smiling !! Excellent service !! Fast , but not pushy. Very attentive to our needs and we were very happy. We will definitely be going back on a regular. !!”
“I haven't been to this Denny's in a long time, I was worried that we weren't going to have a good experience, But I was surprised at the excellent customer service, I spoke with the manager Blanca and expressed that they had exceeded my expectations. and she was very kind and took the time to come to our table thanked us for coming.”
“Very good quality of foods and very friendly personel. I'm often ordering foods from there. One of my favorite take-out kitchens! Recommended
Parking: There is many food delivery restorants and half of parking lots during day were busy by doordashers, but, still many free spots to park.”

“I recently got to know this place, and am glad that I found this place! I tried the fish roe tofu and it was quite nice! The seafood pancake was also a good appetizer to share; quite crispy and filling. The only thing I would like to mention is that this place is obviously quite popular with limited seating. So arrive a few minutes before they open so that you don't have to wait! There was already a long line when we left around 5:40 PM on a Saturday.”
“Half-pound (and up) fresh ground chuck burgers perfectly cooked. Plenty of menu options like turkey, bison, ostrich & more. The fries are excellent, and you load up your burger with all the fixins. Simply the best burger in the South Bay - even better that what Kirks USED to be.”

“House of Bagels near SJSU is a great family-owned shop. The bagels are fire, especially the salmon bagel, but anything you get will definitely taste good. There’s usually a line, but it’s definitely worth the wait. Parking can be hit or miss, so be prepared to walk a bit.”
“One of the best Thai places in Bay Area!! Great quality food!! Great food good price good service I feel so comfortable and everything delicious 😋😘😘😘😍😍”

“This is exactly the type of neighborhood coffee shop I love discovering. The moment you walk in, there's a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels genuine and unpretentious. It's easy to see why so many locals make this part of their daily routine. The baristas are incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about coffee. They take pride in what they do, and that dedication comes through in every drink they serve. I had the chance to try several different coffees, and each one was expertly prepared and full of character.”
“Pizza Guys is a great place to pick up a pizza. Lots of interesting combos to choose from, or make your own. Their thick crust cup and crisp is our favorite when we are looking for a standard. Also if you are picking up, and your order is over $30 you get a free 2 ltr bottle of soda.”
“Loved it all. Especially the chicken skewers. Had a mix of classic dishes and flavors & dishes I had never had before including delicious street foods & drinks! Very friendly service who didn't crowd you when you didn't need anything & a cute fun atmosphere. I look forward to finally be able to show my foodie friends a great find!”
“Editing this a year later
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!”
“La comida estuvo muy rica, bien preparada y con muy buen sabor. Además, la atención fue amable, rápida y muy cordial, Gracias Marcelo Chaparro ! Sin duda, un lugar al que volvería y recomendamos 🙌🏻”
Fine Dining
“We chose Natasha’s treats for our wedding cake on December 2025 and we couldn’t be happier. Her customer service was top notch, she answered all our questions, and brought our dream cake to life. But besides her wonderful work her cake was delicious, we chose the tropical treat and it was delicious, it was the best part of our day.”
“Avni from Butter Cheeni is very good with communicating about the cake, giving me samples to taste and also she is an excellent baker. I ordered a full sheet rasmalai and mango eggless cake for a 60th birthday and she did a super job. Thank you Butter Cheeni and I would recommend them any day! - sushmita (San Jose).”
“My favorite place to get Pho in the area :) Very cute and cozy family-owned business. The owners' young daughters work there and seem to be very well-mannered and professional. Won't be visiting any other place for Pho by my house since I found Bon Mua Restaurant!”
“asiste a un evento donde esperaba ver 3 grupos el unico que llego fue Ensamble y solo toco 4 canciones si acaso. casi al fin del evento anunciaron que llegarian los otro 2 grupos aparte de cobran 20 la silla pesimo evento espero que ticketon si regrese el dinero como anunciaron”

Cheap Eats
“If you are craving Korean bbq fast, order the LA Short Ribs with seaweed soup 🍲 it hits the spot. I would order the seaweed soup too. - A Korean Dad and his daughter loved this place. Price points is very fair in comparison to Santa Clara. It’s also cooked and made by a Korean couple.”

“this location has a lovely atmosphere and high ceilings, very nice interior decorating. our party of two shared the classic and felt that it was plenty of food. the meat quality was awesome. only downside was that we didn’t really have a server so no one brought us water or refilled our broth or cleared our dirty plates.”
“The food here is very good but even better is the service. The staff was very genuine, attentive and quick. Maybe the best service I've had in my life. I'm not in the area often but would definitely go again”

“The Best experience in a long time! From the parking attendant making sure we're safe crossing the street,to the prompt,excellent service,I was impressed the waiters spoke Italian and how attentive they were! The food is excellent, we loved the eggplant Parmigiano, the meatballs,the salmon pasta and fettuccine w clams,the shrimp,the strawberry gellato,the chocolate cake!”
“Nice drinks, if you want to try something good try the secret of the ooze its refreshing the only problems I'd have are 1)for a husky guy it's too hot 2all the good games get taken up ut that's to be expected”
“😃Had lunch today. So many great things on the menu it was difficult to choose. Finally selected Chicken with Belgian waffles. It was delicious and huge portion. Hubby had a huge hamburger, also delicious. Great atmosphere, very clean, friendly fast service. We will recommend highly to friends and will be back soon. Our new favorite Breakfast, lunch, and dinner go to.”
“Greeted warmly as i entered and met a friendly smile at the register. It was my 1st time at this location, Almaden, and very surprised by the great variety of offerings. I went with the portobello mushroom panini and tomato bisque soup. YUM YUM delicious 😋 Looking forward to coming back with my squad and trying different items. Come check this!”
“Oh my goodness. This is a literal hidden gem. Probably the best Korean food I’ve ever had💯I am even willing to say that this was some of the best Ramen I have had in the Bay Area🍜 I ordered the lunch special (which was really good), but the Ramen my family got was so good that I packed half my lunch special to go and ordered a whole other Ramen for myself😭
Vincent is the one who took care of us and he was so kind and gracious and made the experience even better. Anytime I am passing through this side of the Bay Area I will for sure be stopping, and you should too🫡”
“Delicious food, chefs are amazing and very kind hearted. Absolutely loved every bite, favorite dishes were the arancini and the steak frites. Unbelievable, my friends and I will 100% be coming back.”

“Food and service are great. Awesome atmosphere. Went for the World Cup and there isn't a bad view in the house. Pro tip: Order your first cocktail as a double”
“Food was good. Great broth for the pho. The grilled chicken was delicious. Fast and efficient service.”
“100% recommend, comfort food and great service. Best cannolo I’ve had in San Jose ! The garlic knots are okay, their dough is really nice though. But the chicken with penne was delicious! My fiancé had the veal and he really liked it!”
“Sitio maravilloso, comida, ambiente, atención. Primera visita a San José y un sitio al que sin duda trataré de volver. Muy recomendable para disfrutar de su comida, su musica, arte y café. Me lleve una sorpresa muy agradable, a pesar de cambiar mis planes de la mayor parte de mi dia. Con da para disfrutar de un prisas”
“The Club on Post was lovely. The food and cocktails were good. I had the salmon and my husband had the short ribs which were both great. They were accommodating to my kids which I really appreciated, especially for a nicer restaurant.”
“We just ordered dinner from Blue Mango tonight. What a treat! We had the pineapple fried rice, pad thai, mango curry, bamboo, and my favorite mango salad. Pick up was super easy--they had set up tables with lots of space in between orders and room for social distancing. And you should have seen the size of the bottle of hand sanitizer available for anyone to use! Let's support our local businesses and keep Blue Mango going!”
“Love this place, they have the best fried tofu and service is fast!”
“yo llevo años llendo a mariscos costa alegre muy buen servicio y la comida para mi muy buenos los mariscos y los molcajetes cada vez que puedo me voy allá a desestresarme”
“Goku Sushi is a real gem!! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was attentive. We ordered a variety of rolls, and each one was a delight. The Mango roll was outstanding. The presentation of the food was also beautiful. We'll definitely be back! By the way, we came to the one on Blossom Hill !!”
“my fiance & son & I came out for the first time & we all couldn't stop saying how great to perfection each of our plates tasted , awesome service friendly”
“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.”
“The food was the bomb! The mac and cheese was off the hook delicious. I couldn’t stop eating it! My hot link was cooked perfectly. My wife had the fried fish with the yams and fries, and loved it. In fact, my son, who had the maple pecan waffles and chicken, finished off my wife’s fish, along with the cornbread muffin and fries. The food was so delicious that my wife came back to the downtown location the next night with her friends before they went to see “ And Juliet” at Broadway San Jose! We definitely will be back to the downtown location before our next Broadway SJ show,and plan to go to the other location on Monday!”
“Solid place that gives you everything you want. Remind me of the Korean places I ate at growing up. They aren’t trying to be anything other than a solid , family friendly place that offers amazing food at a good price. They don’t make many like this anymore.”
“Wow, the omakase here is spectacular. Every bite was delicious, absolutely delectable. Service was professional and friendly, the atmosphere just lovely, my husband and I had a wonderful celebration for his 50th. I am so glad we chose Blue Pagoda to celebrate his milestone birthday and would definitely recommend this experience. The sake flight is great and the lychee sorbet was so refreshing.”
“Great find and will be back often … loved everything about this place”
“The Lanzhou hand pulled noodles are super and authentic. We order the noodles during every visit. The spicy beef is also very tasty - one of our must have orders. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome staff, great food and good prices!! My friend and I shared two dishes, Hawaiian pancakes and baconcado (think that was the name) and we asked for extra plates since we were sharing. Our server asked if we wanted them split, so we did. The bacon cheese stuffed eggs had a good amount of sliced avocado on each one, everything was delicious.
I left my black sweater on the chair and one of the front staff ran out to give it to me, I so appreciate that thoughtfulness. Go to this Bills on Stevens Creek!”
“Authentic Japanese food from the Japanese. Izumi sushi was closed for the day so we tried this restaurant. They get through lines quickly. Everything tasted amazing, maybe I don’t need to go to Japan for food after all. Service is quick.”
“I passed this place up for many years, it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but don’t judge a book by the cover, it is seriously good. Big assortment of common and unique sushi rolls, udon noodle soup, and definitely consider the sanban bento box.”
“We ordered pizza and pasta for an event in Little Italy’s The Cellar. Food was fantastic! That spinach pizza was out of this world! I can always count of their food to satisfy the crowd!”
“Such a great place. The owner's are so nice and helpful. The restaurant and bathrooms are super clean. I ordered Bun Bo Hue with a short rib. It was the best ever. The dish of vegetables was very fresh and huge. They have sauces and garlic on the tables. I will be going back.”
“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!”
“The only place I know of that still has good biscuits And gravy 🤤. Real gravy. You should try it.”
“This is a restaurant with a very stylish decoration. The classical decoration makes people feel like they are back in the past era when dining. I think everyone can experience it. At the same time, the food in the restaurant is still very delicious.”
“Genuinely a great spot for Mexican breakfast and definitely belongs among the better brunch options in the area. Their chilaquiles are distinctive, and we tried a few different variations. The verde was a little dry and needed more salsa and flavor, but the California chilaquiles more than made up for it! They combine red and green salsa and were easily the best and most unique version we tried. Adding protein can make the meal fairly expensive compared with other spots, and wait times are long during peak hours, but it’s still worth trying. Mix Huevos feels like a place where the food speaks for itself rather than relying heavily on hype or marketing.”
“We saw the ad on fb and browsed through photos on Google maps. We decided to dine there yesterday and the service is very nice, fast turnaround and prices are very reasonable. It’s a gem.”
“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.”
“An Authentic Chettinadu South Indian Restaurant in South San Jose with a good ambience, courtesy & no doubt authentic flavorful cuisine was to my wife & my heart’s delight, today evening, visiting SaaPaaDuu”
“A hidden gem that has yet to be fully discovered by our Bay Area society. The staff was so welcoming and I left with a smile on my face and hands on my tummy from how full I was (in the best way possible.) Will 100% be coming back here and bringing my family.”
“The Mango Margarita at Mama Lupita's is simply divine. It's not too sweet and has just the right amount of tanginess.”
“Greeted warmly as i entered and met a friendly smile at the register. It was my 1st time at this location, Almaden, and very surprised by the great variety of offerings. I went with the portobello mushroom panini and tomato bisque soup. YUM YUM delicious 😋 Looking forward to coming back with my squad and trying different items. Come check this!”
“I want to thank George the owner for introducing me to his mother Meropes secret recipe desert. Truly Inunderstand why she was named after one of the Pleiades this desert is Ambrosia to the gods. Everything about it is just right and even big enough to share but why would you want to even do that? The variety of choices of food from Greek to American and I was amazed by so Many vegetarian choices. The difference between this version of Bill of fare as opposed to the other owners is the size of the restaurant as well as no one rushing you to leave! No Matter what restaurant you go to due to popularity of it, parking will always be problematic but its location provides plenty of street parking! Again, bring the family, bring friends and meet your friends at Ana mazing restaurant!”
“4.25/5
Got the sambusa, beef wrap, and the beef plate. Food was overall quite well done and portion sizing was generous. Beef was tender and flavorful. Also LOVED the tea, v good mix of spicy & sweet, v delicious.
S1: sambusa was easily my favorite (it’s pretty spicy fyi!). I thought the beef in the beef wrap was tastier than the beef in the beef plate, so I would probably opt for beef wrap next time.”
“This location offers excellent food in generous portions that exceed expectations, the specialty pho is particularly impressive, and the beverages are wonderful, especially the passion fruit, which is remarkable.
Service is quite good, featuring a cute server robot, and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, ideal for stop, eat and have a conversation.”

“Chicken Licious, located in a busy Asian mall, is a great spot for a delicious meal. The place has a modern and clean look that stands out even in the crowded mall. One of their best dishes is the Crispy Chicken Leg. It's cooked perfectly with a crunchy outside and juicy inside, making every bite enjoyable. The warm chicken soup is also fantastic—it's tasty and full of flavor, perfect for a comforting meal. The egg roll is another winner here. It has a crispy exterior and is filled with a flavorful mix of vegetables and meat. Each bite is crunchy and satisfying. Even though the mall can get crowded, Chicken Licious offers a nice escape with its good food and pleasant atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty chicken leg, tasty soup, or a crispy egg roll, this place delivers quality food that makes it worth the visit.”

“Half-pound (and up) fresh ground chuck burgers perfectly cooked. Plenty of menu options like turkey, bison, ostrich & more. The fries are excellent, and you load up your burger with all the fixins. Simply the best burger in the South Bay - even better that what Kirks USED to be.”
“Great neighborhood bar in West San Jose with friendly bartenders, strong cocktails, pool tables, darts, and a welcoming atmosphere. The service is excellent, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the crowd is always friendly. If you're looking for a local sports bar or lounge near Westgate Mall, Park Lane Lounge is a great spot to relax and have fun.”

Their pandan waffles were thick and delicious (thank goodness for the buy three get one free deal), the boba was absolutely delicious, and the place gave a homey and calm atmosphere with wooden accents. 10/10, would go again :)”

“Went to the Breakfast Club 1-13- 24 around 8:00 am, seated quickly and placed our order. They had their doors open for a large delivery ,temp out side was 39-40 degrees and delivery took over thirty min., doors still open and no food. We felt they have no respect for their customers and left. Management is a joke.”

I’ve hosted 2 events here already - my parents’ 50th anniversary in 2014 and my 50th birthday this year. Easy process to reserve the space & select menu. Great customer service from all staff.”

Craving Pizza went above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute requests. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend it!”
“this location has a lovely atmosphere and high ceilings, very nice interior decorating. our party of two shared the classic and felt that it was plenty of food. the meat quality was awesome. only downside was that we didn’t really have a server so no one brought us water or refilled our broth or cleared our dirty plates.”
