“Restaurant Gish offers a unique dining experience with a focus on Korean fusion cuisine. The menu is prix fixe and seasonally driven, blending modern Korean flavors with contemporary American touches. We appreciate the meticulous attention to detail, both in the food presentation and the attentive, non-intrusive service. The ambiance is cozy and relaxed, with light background music, making it a great choice for a romantic evening.

All the dishes were so delicious and I would love to come back every month when they change the seasonal menu! Such a treat and we loved chatting with Stan, Ray, Areum, and Ben!

It's definitely worth a visit! We will be back very soon.“

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.“

“Sometimes they do not know how to properly construct a sandwich and instead of putting the spreader sauce on the bun they put it directly on the protein causing the sandwich to slide all over the place. How they present their sandwiches is inconsistent“

“Stuck between their Reuben and the Short Rib Grilled Cheese, asked the guy at the register and he said the Grilled Cheese.

It was a very tasty sandwich.

Their curly fries were also on point.

Great lunch spot. Not sure if it gets crazy during dinner and game days.

Tons of TVs all playing different things.“

“Had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and shared the BBQ Brisket appetizer. Both were really tasty! The Brisket Appetizer is served with garlic bread; it's basically a deconstructed sandwich that could be ordered as an entree. Very tender chunks of brisket drizzled with BBQ sauce. The pulled pork was tender and juicy with a nicely toasted bun. Their BBQ sauce is just the right balance for me of sweetness and vinegar. The service is incredible -- friendly and attentive on refills while we were eating. Highly recommended!“

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!“

“Pros: Close to the entrance/exit, it serves mostly chicken in different shapes and forms. The food quality is what you'd expect in an amusement park.Cons: The line moves really slowly, and it happens always. Weird to see that there is no more planning...“

“Ordered the BBQ chicken pizza on their regular crust, despite it being regular crust the crust is thin, the edges are thicker and not the super thin crispy crust but was thin enough for my liking without needing to do the extra thin. They currently have a take and bake for an additional $8 for any pizza! Don't forget to sign up for the loyalty app!“
