Best Restaurants for People Watching in San Jose

This was the one and time the kitchen was super slow in getting one out of four meals to our table… such a surprise to me as the service is normally spot on here. However, our waitress, Liz, handled the problem well and with a lot of patience with our obvious irritation! She gets a gold star for sure!

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner here this year. It was bustling -- I guess a lot of folks didn't want to cook! Everything was excellent. We ordered the prix fixe dinners. Two of us had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. My vegetarian hubby had the ravioli which he said was delicious. The salad was a great starter -- loved the persimmons. We all loved the butternut squash soup -- there was a certain spice in it that made the soup extra special and delicious. Our turkey dinners were just the right size -- we especially enjoyed the brussels sprouts with lardons. The pie slices were fine -- tasted good, but nothing exceptional. The service was very, very good. Our waiter was attentive and always there for us. All and all a very nice Thanksgiving dinner -- with just a couple ciders, sparkling waters, coffee and including tax and tip it was $400 for three (3) of us. We felt it was worth it.

Dinner was great and we made it to our show at the Campbell Theater. Service was excellent, we felt taken cared of. The drinks and food were very good. I'd recommend sharing a baklava if you so choose because it is a big portion.

This was the perfect place to go for our party of six. The staff was attentive and food was delicious.

We enjoyed a pre-opera dinner on Friday night. It was very quiet which allowed for pleasant conversation. The assortment of bar bites and appetizers was extensive and satisfying. We selected the sliders, potstickers and calamari. They were ample enough to satisfy three diners. We also ordered the rice dish with Chinese sausage which was very tasty. The waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. We were very pleased and will return.
