4 Normandy House

4.2 Good 133 Reviews

30 Washington Street, Santa Clara

“Been hitting Normandy House a few weeks while on a temp gig in Santa Clara—in from cowboy country where a solid where a still shot is sometimes mandatory after a long day. The Pareto thing always cracks me up: 20% of people do 80% of the work, and 80% of the gripes come from the other 20% like some clown reviews here. But everybody here has been super cool to this out-of-towner. Trin especially—she makes a killer Long Island, best around and always keeps things chill. Great spot, 5 stars easy. Gonna miss it when I head home.”

12 Floodcraft Taproom

4.2 Good 60 Reviews

2732 Augustine Drive Ste 1600, Santa Clara

“Floodcraft Taproom inside Whole Foods Market in Santa Clara is a nice casual spot to grab a beer and something to eat without going to a full-service restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and convenient, especially if you’re already shopping at Whole Foods or just want an easy place to meet up with friends. They usually have a good selection of craft beers on tap, with different styles ranging from lighter options to IPAs and darker beers. The food is simple pub-style fare, but it pairs well with the drinks. Burgers, sandwiches, fries, and other snacks are good choices if you want something quick and satisfying. What I like most is that it feels more comfortable than a typical supermarket dining area. You can sit down, have a drink, eat, and take your time. Service is generally friendly, and the location is convenient with plenty of parking. A good place for a casual beer and bite in Santa Clara, especially if you prefer something laid-back rather than a crowded bar or restaurant.”

13 Hong Dae Pocha

3450 El Camino Real Suite 101, Santa Clara

“TLDR: Pricey but worth it for delicious Korean food. Service can be hit or miss, ambiance varies, but the dishes are flavorful. Favorites include the Kimchi Bossam and Tteokbokki. I’ll be honest, this place is on the pricey side, but the food is consistently delicious every time I visit. The only downside is I can’t come as often as I’d like since the cost is higher than most Korean spots. Still, it’s worth it, so just a heads-up if you’re planning to come. The service can be hit or miss. Sometimes attentive, other times you’ll need to flag someone down. The ambiance is usually laid back, though it depends on the day and crowd size. Here’s what I’ve tried: Kimchi Bossam (19 or 21) – Hell yes! Seasoned Raw Crab in Spicy House Sauce (25) – Messy and complicated, but not the main event. Tteokbokki – Delicious.”

16 Camino Karaoke

3378 El Camino Real, Santa Clara

“Came here for a work event. Had a great time. They have plenty of current and past song selections. The aesthetic is very cool. It's like space with black lighting. My only issue was the ventilation because it got real hot with our group room and we had to constantly open the door to fan out the heat. We brought outside food from Jack in the Box and ordered alcohol.”
