New American Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“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.“

“Best Deep Dish Pizza in Sunnyvale!! 12/10, +2 for the fresh ricotta and hot honey add ins, beers on tap, great new layout (a tasteful edit from previous Slice of NY) with 4 TV's (all with the world cup soccer games on!) and pizza slices available. Would love some more craft beers like Bare Bottle and Humble Sea, but that is me asking for my favorites.... this SOH location is next level for pizza!! Also, the manager is a great guy who is family to the founder helping to expand SOH. Wishing continued success! So happy we have a SOH in Sunnyvale.“

“Not sure why this place is less than 4 stars. We tried the prawn pasta, herbed roasted chicken and chocolate cake and each dish was better than the last. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and even the plating.
Sushi was a bit average but the cake was truly decadent. Would 10/10 eat here again.“

“Loved it!! It’s a great place for drinks and snacks!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love Urban Plates! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality. The salads are vibrant and crisp, the proteins are cooked to perfection, and I can always count on their delicious, house-made sauces to elevate each meal. The option to customize my plate allows me to explore new flavors while sticking to my dietary preferences. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their favorites. Plus, the commitment to sustainability and using local ingredients makes me feel good about my choices. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Urban Plates never disappoints. It’s truly one of my favorite spots to enjoy fresh, wholesome food!“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“

“The tasting menu allowed us to try the best they had to offer. A fun and easy way to get a feel for your favorites. We loved most things except for the duck , which was a little greasy. Also, as we have enjoyed Japanese milk bread in Japan and other Asian bakeries we agreed we would skip the Hokkaido bread next time. Although it was delicious we would prefer to save our stomachs for other dishes.“

“A beautiful Spring lunch & afternoon! Delicious entrees!“

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

“My friend and I had visited Boltiful Kitchen for lunch. I had Vegan Miso Tofu Bowl. As someone who loves veggies and is plant based, this is hands-down an amazing bowl to order. The miso glazed tofu, the veggies and sweet potatoes noodles are delicious 😋🤤. Another highlight is that the bowl speaks for itself with tofu and doesn't try to mimic any mock meat options which is a win.
The staff are also very polite and our overall experience was amazing. I am coming back again with more friends!! I just wish Boltiful would expand to more places“

“OUR SERVER DEF MAKES OUR NIGHT - WE LOVE YOU IAN. Yard House never fails us with their foods, all of them are amazing as always. The service we have tonight from Ian not just customer service but caring and loving with understanding from human to human, such a great night“

“Celebrated our anniversary and everything was perfect! Great food and excellent service!!!“

“Steins is a great restaurant with a wide beer selection! They also sponsor the annual MV Oktoberfest!“

“We visited last night to celebrate my husband's birthday, and both of us had an absolutely wonderful time.Everything from the flavors and portion sizes to the beautiful plating was like a work of art from start to finish.The food was so incredibly delicious that I almost wanted to lick the dessert plate clean! (Just kidding, but that's how amazing it was lol).I highly recommend this special restaurant🍽️“

“Truly, I do not enjoy writing bad reviews but based on what happened tonight it is warranted. My two allergy kids wanted some pizza, it needs to be gluten free and dairy free. We called them we spoke to two different people at the restaurant they said that's totally okay, we will charge you 18, we're going to do the kids pizza for the allergies needed. When we drove all the way to pick it up for dinner ,they said sorry we tried to call you and tell you but we're going to charge you $50 because we have to make it large. First of all I checked my phone no one called us. They called someone else. Which really shows how unorganized the restaurant is. And second of all they had absolutely no remorse. Espically the manager. In the end I refuse to pay for something that I was lied to. And I feel like they should have still honored the price due to what they told us. It's not my fault that nobody knows what to do there. And it's affecting the customers. I hope the owner and others reads this and teaches his staff to not punish the customer for their own negligence. It just makes me think what else do they do? this is the los gatos location.“

“Fantastic Cocktails, Vibrant Small Plates, and Great Group Vibe!
We had an outstanding meal at Horsefeather in Town & Country Village near Stanford! The space is sleek, modern, and light-filled, making it a perfect spot to gather with friends for lunch or evening drinks and bites.
Here is a breakdown of what we tried:
Deviled Eggs: A must-order appetizer! Topped with tobiko/caviar, crispy shallots, and chives, they are incredibly creamy with a nice pop of texture and savoriness.
Korean Fried Chicken Wings: Crispy, perfectly glazed in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, and topped with sesame seeds. Served with a cool dipping sauce that balances out the heat wonderfully.
Tacos (Carnitas & Shrimp): Both taco options were served on warm, fresh corn tortillas topped with pickled red onions, cilantro, and served with a side of slaw and spicy salsa. High quality and super flavorful.
Roasted Cauliflower: A gorgeous mixture of purple and white cauliflower tossed with a rich green pesto and drizzle of spicy red pepper sauce. A phenomenal vegetable side with a great kick.
French Fries: Golden, crispy, well-seasoned, and served in a massive bowl—perfect for sharing across the entire table.
Overall: Excellent presentation, generous portions for small plates, and a super welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re stopping by for creative craft cocktails or grabbing a bite with a group near campus, Horsefeather delivers. Highly recommended!“

“Es un restaurante muy bonito, sus platos muy bien servidos y deliciosos! Recomiendo a Local Union siempre, excelente servicio el de Guadalupe y Estefany!“

“Shepherd and Sims is a great place for a meal, snack, or anything in between! Service is exceptional, all the waiters are so nice, and the food is great. I usually get the burger, and let me tell you, it’s great! The fries are also 10/10. I would highly recommend Shepherd and Sims to everyone! Thank you so much for bringing this restaurant, service, and food to the next level.“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

“My wife & I had Sekoya's 3-yr anniversary prix fixe meal. Everything just plain delicious. The Bavette steak was killer, the burrata starter excellent. My wife loved her yellowtail starter and halibut main. The butterscotch and watermelon desserts were delish. I brought a bottle and was treated to excellent wine service, beautiful glassware, with a (by today's standards) very reasonable $35 corkage. Sekoya is now on our radar, and we'll be back!“

“The Stand in Santa Clara is an absolute go-to for me. Located conveniently nearby, it has become a regular favorite thanks to its unbeatable combination of consistency, quality, and value.

No matter when you order, the food is always fresh, perfectly prepared, and delicious every single time—you simply never have to worry about an off meal. Their menu offers fantastic variety, and everything tastes high-end without breaking the bank, making it one of the most affordable and satisfying spots around.

If you are looking for top-tier food quality, reliable service, and great pricing right in the neighborhood, The Stand is hard to beat. Highly recommended!“

“Great drinks!!! Hip place with great vibes. Would definitely rely come again!!“

“Our family’s all time favorite restaurant in the Bay Area… genuinely good foods worth of every penny 👍🏻“

“I cannot say enough about this restaurant! GOGA is the place to go for fresh, healthy, delicious food! Definitely Saratoga’s hidden gem! It is behind the UPS building with plenty of parking. The staff is wonderful, very accommodating & Chef Brads presentation & deliciousness of his fabulous meals is always 5 stars! We will be going back this Sunday for brunch with family from out of town that can’t wait to try it! Go GOGA!!“

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.“

“this post is simply in regards to the ambience and what I can see from those eating on their back patio and the live music, WOW! it's just an incredible vibe, my friend lives above the restaurant, and after this I'm gonna make it a point to have dinner here on a weekend soon.“

“Great food. I loved the pancit, but they were out of Adobe.“

“Always try to go at least once when I’m in Old El Palo Alto.“

“Fresh air and warm . Food was awesome and they give you yours moneys worth“

“I had the most amazing experience and it was my first time. I will definitely go back before l leave San Francisco.“

“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.“

“We had a lovely lunch. Food and service were excellent!“

“Good food and like the 🎤Karaoke on Saturdays 👍“

“Loma Brewing was an awesome place to have our party. Their food was delicious, the space was fabulous and the staff were incredible. They were so easy to work with and made the planning and day of so easeful. I felt so supported. I highly recommend them for events and also just a night out!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie options“

“Beautiful wine bar in Campbell, so stylish and good Californian wines at great price points, something for everyone.
Thoughtful menu, you can come for a drink & a bite or have a full meal.
The couple who own Tessora are warm, friendly & without being pushy. The service they provide makes you want to stay for a second glass or more.
Great addition to Campbell.“

“Great service, fresh food. Highly recommended.“

“We enjoyed our lunch with the freshest flavors and ingredients. The Crab Bisque is unmatched. Ginger Sesame salad with your choice of added protein was delicious. The Arnold Palmer was refreshing. Basically, my go to choice for lunch while enjoying some retail therapy.“

“Awesome! Good food and service I will be back!!“

“I have been here many times when it first opened, so I have not been in a while. We sat outside on a nice evening. There only seemed to be two people working the front, probably because we went super early and they were not busy. The busser and bartender were both very friendly and helpful. We ordered the French 75, one coniac and one gin. They were both delicious. We had the tomato burrata salad which was delicious. I ordered the bread because they used to do this acme baguette with butter that was so delicious. They had a focaccia which I probably wouldn’t order again. It was a bit dry and flavorless. We also had this yummy lavender drink with cream frothed at the top and it was divine! Madison was our waitress and the bartender making all the drinks! She not only makes the drinks, she does the recipes! We were really impressed with her service and care when it came to craft cocktails. For the entree we shared the saffron risotto with lobster. It was kind of pricey for what it was. I didn’t taste the saffron and we got like 3 chunks of lobster. I wouldn’t order it again. I will definitely come back because there were so many more yummy sounding dishes that I wanted to try and of course more cocktails I’d love to taste.“

“Awesome ambience Nice place to hangout Cocktails were too gud“
