- MMarkSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoThe food was excellent. We especially enjoyed the outstanding jazz trio of Mikel Bee (drummer), pianist, and bassist—excellent taste in the standards, solid rhythms, and savvy voicings. The filet minion souvlaki was delicious. Another nice touch was the tasty hot roll with olive oil while waiting for our order. We did not have a drink since we had to work tomorrow morning, but the bar appeared well-stocked, and the drinks looked attractive. We'll return, especially for the music offered on Monday nights (5-9 pm). It is about time that San Carlos had some hip live music happening again.More infoElia - San CarlosPrice: Expensive• Greek• San Carlos•4.7

- MMadhuSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 16, 2024We initially booked a table for two, but two of our colleagues joined us later, making it a party of four. I must say, this place is phenomenal! We got there by 4:30, and the place was already quite crowded. This was my first time visiting, and I actually found out about Jaks through Forbes magazine. The ambiance was fantastic—not like your typical Indian restaurant. It was clean, simple, and very well done. Honestly, you wouldn’t even guess it was an Indian restaurant at first glance because the decor was so modern and upscale. They have a full bar, and we enjoyed a couple of cocktails, which were amazing! We also tried four sharable plates, and every single one was interesting and unique. The chef’s signature dishes, especially the sea bass, lamb shank, and lamb chops, were absolutely stunning. The flavors were so authentic, and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I heard from one of my colleagues that the menu changes every six months, which is pretty exciting. I’m already looking forward to trying their lunch menu next time. Overall, it’s a great place for dining—whether for a casual meal or something special. This was a wonderful experience, and I’ll definitely be back soon!More infoJaks Authentic Indian & Modern VibePrice: Moderate• Indian• Santa Clara•4.1
- DDavidvipSan Francisco Bay Area •9 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 15, 2024I wish we lived closer to this restaurant because it never fails to delight. Vincenzo runs an 'old school' restaurant, which is my highest praise. Classic and new dishes, well prepared, excellent ingredients, and a classic yet modern feel. Service is warm and impeccable, because, Vincenzo.More info888 Ristorante ItalianoPrice: Moderate• Italian• San Carlos•4.9
