Restaurants near Forest Street Park

The place, like so many of its peers, is loud though my wife and I were able to have a clear conversation. The food was excellent. Our server was fairly attentive. When we asked that someone clean the tablecloth after the meal and before the dessert, the server seemed surprised but gamely wiped the crumbs into his hand. This is a real peeve of mine: On r upon a time, in good restaurants like Ladera, the server or a colleague would clean the tablecloth. Only once in the last decade or so has this happened anywhere in Silicon Valley—and that was recently at Meyhouse in Sunnyvale.

On the plus side, our server was very attentive. The staff was friendly. I’d say that’s what made it a 4 star experience rather than a 3 star. However, overall the food was pretty average particularly for the price point. Quite an eclectic menu. We were seated in the back room thankfully, as the main dining room is quite loud and the tables are very crowded together. Too many tables for the space really. The patio seating area seemed a nice option in warmer weather.

Service was above and beyond. Host (dang - want to say Damian -sorry) and Waiter (Ivan) were excellent and super accommodating. Let our 14lb mini poodle sit with is in the booth (in her tiny bed we brought). Music was at the right level and good! (rare these days). Okay the burger was enormous and I am 6'0 and 185lb athlete and could not eat half of it - just stop - or you all should seriously think about splitting it. It came as ordered -rare - cooked perfectly for my liking. Desert was amazing - lime cheesecake was really good. Beer menu was great and the drink menu looked amazing by the way - don't really day drink any more ,,, the Trumer Pils on draught was perfect. The wine list also looks great. I recommend this place! Side note -my wife is a professional chef (owns her own catering business... so I know food

Great dinner. Not too crowded this evening. The guys (and the mgr) were attentive, coming by our table to see if we're doing OK or if we need anything. Floors were just a bit messy bcuz there were a few kids around us but overall, another great experience.

The meal was perfect. The only problem was that they wanted us out fast. We asked them politely to stop.
