“A wonderful restaurant that changes the menu monthly. This month was good but not my favorite that I've had here - just my taste. The beat salad was excellent! The service is superb but the music is a bit loud and made it difficult to hear my dining companions.“

Valley Plaza Cafe New American • $$
2885 Lakeside Dr, Santa Clara

“Pretty average hotel. Giving it 4 stars given it included breakfast and happy hour. The bartenders and omlette maker were excellent and friendly. Other breakfast staff seemed less than thrilled to be there but overall went about their tasks and kept out of guests way. The rooms could definitely use some updating and the layout was quite awkward being right next to the stairwell. The room felt cramped and the bathroom small to maneuver in. Not sure if all rooms were that way but I'd suggest a different room. The hotel was reasonably close to some restaurants and easy enough to get around the area. Overall not a bad stay.“

“Good food. Wings are decent, just OK. I had the traditional death sauce. It was not that hot and the flavor was kind of weird. The steak sandwich I had was good, not the best, but not the worst. The place is nothing special and definitely a little pricey. Has good selection of beers as well.“

Fried Chicken Two Piece Combo
Rotisserie Chicken Dinner

“This fried chicken was so good!! All white meat, boneless and skinless. The breading is SO well seasoned and there’s lots of it to crunch on! I ordered the tenders, which were real pieces of chicken and not in uniformed, machine-cut shapes. I got a biscuit with my dish which was totally legit based on the southern cooking I’ve had in past. Steaming hot and moist. Not buttery so possibly made with lard. I had veggies for a side to try to ease my guilt for all the other calories. Those were definitely fresh, seasoned, and varied. Our table wasn’t clean but I didn’t care after walking around for 8 hours with two boys.“

Quinoa Veggie Burger
Artisan Sandwich
Cheeseburger

“This is the best dining option at California's Great America! With a wide variety of menu choices—from quinoa and beef burgers to chicken tenders and several types of pizza—plus sides like mac & cheese, seasonal vegetables, and more, it's the best value in the park. The condiment bar is well-stocked, and the staff is always friendly and efficient. The restaurant is well-organized, with consistently clean tables, though they can get packed during lunch and dinner rushes, so you might have to wait for a table. They sometimes run out of artisan sandwiches and desserts, and the quinoa burger takes a few extra minutes to cook but is worth the wait. Highly recommended!“

“I want to give a special thank you to Noe for his exceptional service. We walked in right before closing hours, and despite the timing, he greeted us warmly and attended to us with such professionalism and kindness. He didn’t make us feel rushed at all and ensured we had everything we needed. It’s rare to come across someone so attentive and dedicated, especially at the end of a long workday. Thank you again, Noe—you truly made our visit a great one!“
