13 Best Wine Bars in San Jose

“Goodtime bar has become our home ever since we moved to the Bay area a months ago. It has a good vibe with great choices of organic wine (you never know what to expect and you will never be disappointed), excellent food and super friendly and fun staff!“

“What a fun little hidden gem. Came here in a Saturday not long after they had opened. The vibe of the wine bar is definitely unmatched. Unknown to me, they had a happy hour special running. There were tons of great little bite options my party and I enjoyed. Definitely will be back again.“

“Food is good and soul music is the bomb!💪🏾“

“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🤣)“

“Good selection of craft beers, wine, and small plates. Food was tasty and service was great! Highly recommended!“

“I’ve been coming here since they reopened most of the people here that work here are from flights in Campbell so it’s like all my regular friends are working here. Still I come Tuesdays and Thursday nights home away from home. He can’t go wrong. Food is good. Beers are good. The only thing they need is a second bathroom and happy hour And everything would be perfect“

“I love this place , romantic“

“Cozy spot, but be mindful of the noise!

It’s a small and cozy place with both indoor and outdoor seating. Since it was raining, my friend and I chose to sit indoors. Initially, it was perfect — quiet and relaxing. A couple of tables were occupied by two people, and everything seemed peaceful.

Then four guys walked in, and it completely changed the atmosphere. It got incredibly loud to the point where I couldn’t even hear myself talk. I had to raise my voice so my friend could hear me, which definitely ruined the cozy vibe we were hoping for.

Tip: If you choose to sit inside, make sure the space isn’t filled with loud groups.

Other than that, the food was good, the wine was delicious, and the servers were very friendly and polite. Worth a visit, just be mindful of the noise level! 🍷“

“The entire experience at The Creek Eatery was phenomenal. We held a wedding rehearsal dinner for 65 people and although the seating was unconventional for the event, our party absolutely loved the setting. It was such a fun atmosphere! The food, hospitality, and service were perfect. They were quick to respond with communication throughout the planning process and the day of. I highly recommend this restaurant for a regular meal or special event! Top notch kitchen, servers and bar staff.“

“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.“

“This is some of the best Thai food I have found in the Bay Area. Their curries in particular have quite a smooth flavor - I would recommend the Panang, the Red, or the Massaman. I find it hard to tear myself away from those, but when I do, I have had an enjoyable time with both the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. And if one is getting takeout and wants rice to eat later, the Siam Fried Rice is great. Tomato in fried rice is not something I have seen before, but it tastes great in this! Frankly, I'm surprised I rarely have to worry about getting a spot - this place is astonishingly under-utilized for being so amazing. Probably because a lot of folks do not know about them, but they keep my vegetarian partner well fed, and she is a bit of a picky eater besides, so I would like to keep them around and in business! Finally, they are doing an amazing job of staying open and efficient during the Covid-19 crisis, implementing better order/online and cheap delivery options. Thank you so much Thai Erawan for doing a great job, and I hope more people eat there so that you can always be around! (Oh, and the heart-shaped rice-moulds just happened to be very on point the first few times I brought my partner there - so extra points in my book for that!)“

“Awesome place and helpful friendly staff.“

“Love the Pinot that Jesse served us, paninis were delicious and so was the cheese and fruit tray, beautifully arranged. We always have a good time when we visit. Jesse and Anthony always provide great service and make the place very enjoyable.“
