New American Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“

“Recommended by my girlfriends who enjoyed dining her before, we made a reservation to meet up so I could experience this place for the first time. We arrived on their kickoff into First Fridays and while it got busy outdoors, it didn't interfere with us getting to enjoy our time together, holding great conversation, and also having Jake as our server who was attentive and swift in his service while being mindful as he served drinks, food, refills, etc. Our group of four shared multiple, flavorful, delicious plates (pita + chips, empanadas, disco fries, spicy handroll, quinoa + tuna poke salad, branzino) and desserts, along with several rounds of the cocktails. I will say that the mango sticky rice did not come with fresh mango, and the ice cream sub worked but did not meet our expectation as we had hoped for fresh mangoes. The pandan flan was also good, but we questioned its authenticity as it wasn't the light green color as it is in other desserts and Asian treats. Sharing as they were still good and setting others up for enjoying without expectation.“

“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.“

“I was initially worried with the reviews. Nonetheless I tried being too tired to travel out. To my surprise, day 1 - having the Pork Chop (it was fabulous) left me coming back for dinner on day 2 - I had their salmon (also perfectly done!) their service was wonderful as well thanks to Daniella. Excellent service. Ambience wise it is great.

Looking to be back. Keep it up“

“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“

“Pretty good experience at Ethel's Fancy - staff were attentive and food was good. I wasn't blown away though but perhaps I had very high expectations from all the great reviews. Nonetheless there was a certain buzz in the air and still worth coming for a special occasion or celebration.“

“The first time here and it was wonderful. Kim and Kelly guided us through the process offering suggestions and samples along the way. Being able to try things is a great touch. Everything we sampled was delicious but we settled on the steak and chicken. Delicious will be back to this friendly restaurant.“

“There is usually a split of either good food or good drinks when it comes to happy hour, this place comes close to both good. We were seated promptly at a booth since it was after 4pm on a Monday. Daisy helped us with drinks and appetizers. We chose poke nachos, chicken wrap with lettuce, hummus with bread, all meat pizza, poke nachos and calamari. The drinks arrived and the appetizers quickly followed. The calamari came with a red sauce and a slightly spiced tartar sauce, good crisp. The hummus, a friend's go-to, had a nutty flavor. The poke nachos had a crisp fried wonton wrap, I was hoping for larger cubes but the flavor was nice (not shoyu) and good texture. The pizza was great, the proper thin crust with meat and cheese. A friend chose the chicken lettuce wrap with 2 sauces, peanut sauce and Thai sweet and sour. The chicken and peanut sauce had a bit too much of ginger so she did not like it as much. The chicken was a little dry. The beer is what our friend likes and he tries a different one when he visits. Serving size was generous, service was nice and efficient. Parking at Santana Row can get crowded. We parked in garage off Winchester Blvd after Tatum. It is free for the first 2 hours.“

“The dinner was amazing the chef really knows what he is doing- the sauces omg divine. The staff was charming and friendly the ambiance of the place cozy and elegant, pleasant but not overwhelming music and of course wonderful wine. We will definitely be coming back and only regret not having come sooner!“

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

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try“

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

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“This month was Thailand x Gish. I think it's the 4th time we came here. Our go-to nice place to eat.
Lamb larb was great. My wife enjoyed bitter melon for this first time. There was a fish dumpling that was complex and fresh and succulent. The pork cheek was amazing and I am always happy when they prepare cheek meat. The atmosphere is super homey and the flavors inspirational to me as a home cook and a delight as a diner.“

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

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

“Nice place, big portions (come hungry!), creative fusion food.“

“I love this restaurant, but it is NOT a sports bar. It's a restaurant (with good food!) with a square 'floating' bar in the front of the restaurant that has a few TVs that usually have sports on. If you want the divey, sports-bar experience, this ain't it.“

“Had dinner with some friends, had the crepes, amazing stuff. The staff is the best, friendly, beautiful very efficient. highly recommended...“

“Wow! What a place! Vibe is chill and cheque, the food was top notch and the service was outstanding.
So gluten free friendly !!
The beef tongue skewer melts the mouth and is something I was considering to take for desert as well. Our whole table did not leave a bite in the plate.
Kudus, keep it up.“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“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!!“

“Both pasta dishes (Pesto mushroom penne and chicken artichoke fusilli) were delicious. Hardly any mushrooms in the pesto pasta dish, though. Glass of cabernet tasty but too warm. Service was poor, server forgot to put our order in, disappeared for 20 mins. Came back after we sent a busboy after her, and was reminded to order for us. Allow lots of extra time.“

“Good food and atmosphere. Located at the corner of the busy plaza. Went there for brunch over the weekend, tried French toast, chicken & waffle and shrimp Po'Boy. All three items are great and tasty. Two small critics: 1. service is a little slow. 2. the coffee can be improved.“

“Great service, food was awesome!! Thank you Jasmine, (our waitress) was Friendly, and helpful.“

“We had a couple of picky eaters with us and the staff and management went out of their way to ensure we had a great meal. Great service, wonderful dishes, and a relaxing atmosphere made this visit special. The burgers were as advertised and custom made to our specifications. We'll be sure to visit again when we're in town.“

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

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

“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“

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

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

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“What a great find on the last day of our trip to California. The space was beautiful, the staff was great and the food was delicious! The chicken was delicious and filling and fresh. The Cioppino was fabulous!!! The garlic bread that came with it was delicious. I had a green salad to start and it too was excellent. Great glass of Zinfandel. And the flourless almond cake with pineapple and vanilla gelato also delicious. They focus on fresh, quality ingredients. Well done!“

“They have all the product just like your in Paris shopping“

“Consistent good food ,service and value. We been here over 30 years. This Nordstrom restaurant is way better than the one in Walnut Creek. No comparison!!! Given so many eating places in Valley Fair mall, Bazille still is our best bet choice.“

“I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!“

“We sat up stairs and the atmosphere, food, beer and service were great!!!“

“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.“
