Tapas Restaurants near Santa Clara, CA

“Very authentic flavors, reminded me of the times I ate at the ryoutei style restaurants in Japan! サーモンハラスの塩焼き - Grilled salmon belly 生うどん - Fresh udon noodle soup ユズ香る茶碗蒸し - Egg custard with yuzu with crab sauce on top イイダコの唐揚げ - Deep fried mini octopus“

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.“

“As soon as I got into the restaurant I can tell if this is a great place and a great atmosphere. It was just right and perfect. The staff members treated us like family. My mom for Mother's Day spun the wheel and we got $30 off our next item, and the owner I believe gave my dad a free spin and we got a free item also as well. My dad said he loved this place so much that he's going to be here for Father's Day. Highly recommend this restaurant to enjoy with your family or maybe just a few co-workers or friends. The funny thing is that when my mom first spin it says a free alcohol drink which nobody drink. But of course she re-spin the wheel again. Food was delicious, also was there non caffeine hot teas.“

“Basque style tapas (pintxos) in a stylish little restaurant. What’s not to like? Stop in for a couple of small bites and a drink like a Spaniard would, or have dinner.“

“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.“

“We have dine here a couple of time now and we will come back again soon, I love the atmosphere, the live music add a pizzas to the restaurant. The chef creat different interesting dishes and fresh incredient each time we visit. They have an amazing long wine list which is always fun to look around“

“Best cocktail bar in the South Bay!“

“I really enjoyed the flavor profile at this place.

You are greeted warmly upon arrival; the space is neither large nor tiny. It is an open-concept restaurant (you can see the kitchen), and the place is bright and clean.

You order via a QR code, and the food arrives at your table quickly.

The portions are neither too big nor too small; I find them just right—whether you're really hungry or want to take some leftovers home for later.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu (honestly, everything looks spectacular).“

“Editing this a year later

​This spot has become our favorite destination for a relaxing wine night, whether it's a casual evening with friends or a date night. The cozy atmosphere is consistently a hit with everyone we introduce to the place.
​What really sets it apart are the owners, Nici and Ty. They are incredibly friendly and offer great recommendations. It was a pleasant surprise that they recognized us months after our first visit and even remembered my girlfriend's preferred wine! We also love their flexible flight concept, which allows you to sample any of the wines available for a single set price.
​It's also an excellent choice if you're looking for a laid-back wine bar before heading over to a Sharks game!“

“Great vibes,
we needed to wait for like half an hour before seated so we walked around.
The food comes out really fast and the wine was great I especially liked some dry riesling.
First time for me and loved it!
would totally recommend spending some time here.“

“One Fish absolutely lived up to the hype. I love that the menu changes constantly with the seasons, so there’s always a reason to come back. Every dish felt fresh, thoughtful, and packed with interesting flavor combinations that somehow just worked.

I mixed hot and cold dishes and everything was outstanding. The oysters with their accompaniments were incredibly fresh, the halibut and kanpachi were beautifully prepared, and the fried chicken with sauce and caviar was one of the most unexpectedly delicious bites I’ve had in a long time. The sake selection was excellent as well.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. Great music, a clean and intentional space, and genuinely friendly service. Walked in without a reservation, but it’s nice that they can accommodate both walk-ins and reservations.

Chef Owner Trent was welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he’s creating. Skipped the omakase this visit, but after this meal it’s at the top of my list for next time. One Fish is inventive without being pretentious, and it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to every month to see what’s new.“

“Good ambience, great food. Loved the family vibe. Feels like eating in a cozy eatery in Osaka.“

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

“I absolutely love this place. It’s everything you want in a neighborhood spot and a perfect reflection of Willow Glen’s charm.

The wine list is extensive and thoughtfully curated, the food is consistently great with options that feel both elevated and approachable, and the staff brings such a fun, welcoming energy every time you walk in. It never feels pretentious, just genuinely enjoyable.

What really stands out is how it captures that quintessential Lincoln Avenue vibe. It’s the kind of place you can drop into for a casual glass of wine, stay for dinner, and end up lingering longer than you planned.

A true neighborhood favorite and one of the spots that makes Willow Glen feel special.“

“TANTO Japanese Restaurant was a wonderful dining experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with each dish feeling thoughtfully made. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back again!“

“Fresh food and good taste. One of pocket restaurants.“

“A long overdue review of our favorite hangout spot in Downtown MV. It's got everything you want: good food, wine, and service. They have a great wine club that does free tastings once or twice a month, too. It's a fantastic deal. We are grateful to have a fun place like this in the neighborhood!“

“Great service and lovely ambiance. The menu offers a nice mix of salads, meats, and fish, and the staff were genuinely pleasant.“

“The G.O.A.T. of Silicon Valley Cuisine?
In my 30+ years of living and dining in Silicon Valley, I’ve sometimes wondered if, beyond “California Cuisine,” there is also a “Silicon Valley Cuisine.” I think this may be the best of it.

After a few visits to Valley Goat, I think this might be the greatest of all time places that reflects what I love about Valley Food. The East Asia, South Asia, and Latin America influences are evident. So are reminders of the Alice Waters farm-to-table paradigm. The sharable dining possibilities also seem part of Valley Cuisine culture. All of this is nestled in a little green oasis created by the Tree House Hotel and Beer Garden near campuses of Google, Meta, and Juniper. Everything we’ve shared there has been novel yet also familiar while appearing and tasting simply amazing. It feels like every dish is very much what I imagine as phenomenal and resonant Valley Cuisine.“

“Toda la comida de el Cerrito están deliciosas y las micheladas excelente servicio“

“Pinsa (Flatbread) and the Mushroom Ravioli were exceptional dishes. Our favorite plates out of the 3 we ordered. We also had the carbonara but there was an after taste that did not sit well. Most likely from the cheese? Service was slightly slow however only the bartender was on shift.“

“Fresh food and great customer service. Try the catering service, they were a hit at my event! Thanks to Burritto Express!“

“Such a good and relaxing atmosphere! Everyone is nice!“

“Aloft Sunnyvale on its own is good enough value for money spent. However, what truly stood out was the customer ser ice of its front desk. Shoutout to Michelle for helping me out a ton when I was trying to extend my stay. No excuses were made and she found a way to get it done even under difficult circumstances. Roy was also great with the room upgrade when he saw that I had brought a friend and might have needed a bigger bed. 10/10 Customer Service!“

“Good food will come back…“

“Among the best Japanese food in Mountain View/Los Altos/Palo Alto area.“

“For 3 yrs always stay at Aloft it’s like my second home , the ambiance is very nice, front desk clerk are polite and friendly , the bar , waiting area , restaurant and the swimming pool are very nice , the rooms are big, and parking area“

“We had delicious food and were able well served by Lucky who was very attentive, yet gave us space. I truly enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! Thank you Lucky for a grate service!“

“Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food.“

“Was are first time trying it and we will definitely be going back.“

“Everything was great need to put more food its will be better 😎“

“This is my second time to Teleferic Barcelona and it was better than the last. The food was tasty and abundant (for 2), with attentive service and a great atmosphere. The only demerit: I was disappointed that the servers seemed to be rushing us out after the meal was finished, even though it wasn't late and there was no queue for tables. I can understand that for a busy restaurant or near closing hours, but the repeated rushing became a minor annoyance. Other than that, it was a great experience and I hope to return again.“

“Amazing place for yakitori food, chef Sherman really knows quality and simplicity for yakitori food. I highly recommend this place especially when you get togethers with great friends. 5 stars out of 5“

“A bit of a hidden gem, off MTV main strip, inside a hotel so you won't just see it from the street. The food was really good and so were the cocktails, the ambiance is classy although it has a bit of that hotel lounge look. It was quite empty for a Friday evening, seems a bit underrated, maybe because of the location.“

“they've done an incredible job creating a fun and gorgeous place to eat, drink and hang out.“

“Amazing! One of the best restaurants in Cupertino“
