New American Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“I’ve been here twice this past year—once for dinner and once for weekend brunch—and both experiences were amazing. For dinner, expect to pay a pretty penny; dinner and drinks for two came to about $360 with tip. Brunch, on the other hand, was super reasonable considering all the offerings—we spent around $50 per person including food, drinks, and tip.

The food was incredibly flavorful and filling, with beautiful and unique presentation. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning and both times our servers were amazing—attentive, friendly and professional.

I’d give a 9.8 out of 10, with the only deduction being that the hosts were a bit snobby both times.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“I had the mushroom ravioli, boyfriend had a margarita pizza and we both had the spinach dip and the bread.. I love the bread so much - it's worth it to me just to go for the bread! My ravioli was a bit too salty, but flavorful, the dip was a bit salty for me but boyfriend liked it and he liked his pizza. We went very early $;15 on a Sunday so it was not busy at all and the service was excellent by waitress Cadence and the other guys helping her. I would not hesitate to return. We also got mixed drinks that were good.“

“This place is awesome! Came here from out of town to watch the 49er/Falcon game and ended up here watching the Oregon Game on Saturday. Ritchie was an amazing bartender that I feel I could connect with. I felt like everyone behind the bar cared about if I had a beer, making sure I was good. Definitely will visit this place again! And y'all are so busy!!! You handle it well 😁😁
Also, John the manager was awesome! Very personable and listened to what I had to say. Great job, y'all! 😍😍“

“Food was excellent! Flat iron steak was done med rare as ordered. Chicken with cranberry sauce and brussels sprouts was perfect. The delicious apple/caramel bread pudding definitely enough to share. The atmosphere is an older converted garage but it is well worth going for the food!
Close to TechCU arena, we will be back. Go Barracuda!“

“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.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Great gin cocktail and the shrimp and grits was excellent. It’s a perfectly-sized restaurant inside and picnic tables and umbrellas outsides surely great for brunch. The service was friendly and attentive.

Post St. itself is a mangy but keep faith until you get to the front door—worth it.“

“Great service, food was awesome!! Thank you Jasmine, (our waitress) was Friendly, and helpful.“

“Slice of Homage is such a gem! The pizza here is absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and a crust that’s just the right mix of crispy and chewy. You can really taste the care that goes into every slice. The menu has something for everyone, whether you’re craving a classic or something a little more unique.
On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. It’s the kind of spot where you can relax, enjoy great food, and know you’ll leave satisfied.
If you love pizza, Slice of Homage is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“I’ve eaten here twice with a wide sampling of dishes and Devine is absolutely mind blowing. Their mixtures of flavors is truly a beautiful form of art……and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about any restaurant! Goat cheese and caramel? It’s now a go to for our own charcuterie board at home……Herb infused brittle and cheese? I need to have more! It is truly perfection! Last night we enjoyed their four course meal (i highly suggest two people get their own and split, there’s two choices for the salad/soup, main, and dessert, you don’t want to miss out on anything!). Every bite we took had us stop in awe. Devine is a gem! We even loved that the employees/owners come with laughs and personality. It’s a fun and light environment that added so much more to our experience. As the place got busy, our waiters didn’t waver in his attention for anyone! We appreciated that since we’re aware that everyone is still getting up to speed post pandemic, but Devine didn’t miss a beat! 🙌Cannot wait to come back! (Picture was after we had dug in🤣)“

“I am a regular and love the street corn tots and loaded hush puppies. Please keep them. Love the beer though!“

“Great place to hang out, with a very relaxed atmosphere. It has 4 bars and many, many options of food and snacks. There are tvs around the area with different games showing and, on the weekends there's always live music. My family loves this place!“

“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!“

“Wonderful Experience at Trails Pub in San Jose!

Trails Pub in San Jose is a gem that should not be missed. Whether you're looking for a delicious meal, a relaxed atmosphere, or a great selection of drinks, this place has it all. Nice beers on tap, loved the Smithwicks. My partner had Dragon's Slayer. We wanted to play darts, and you can just request darts from the amazing bartender.

I can't wait to return and try more of their offerings.“

“What a great find on the last day of our trip to California. The space was beautiful, the staff was great and the food was delicious! The chicken was delicious and filling and fresh. The Cioppino was fabulous!!! The garlic bread that came with it was delicious. I had a green salad to start and it too was excellent. Great glass of Zinfandel. And the flourless almond cake with pineapple and vanilla gelato also delicious. They focus on fresh, quality ingredients. Well done!“

“Everyone is friendly, Scotty & Nicholai (Sp.), great drinks!“

“Very chill and accommodating place late at night in SJ when so many other places are too busy. Great environment, great music, great drinks. They took care of us and everyone here between 12am and 2am, going above and beyond. Will definitely come back another time.“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“good food and good drinks. tvs everywhere ! great place to hang out !“
