For dinner I had a Philly cheesesteak with a side of aju, veggies, and lemon soup. The veggies were BLAND 2 stars, the lemon soup tasted odd to me but adding the crackers and pepper helped, 3 stars. The Philly while it looks unassuming was actually quite good and the bread was soft and perfectly moist, dipping the sandwich in the aju make the sandwich even better "I'd definitely order this sandwich again 4 stars. To drink I had all I could drink ice tea with fresh lemon, the flavor was a little on the lighter side but still good 3 stars. For dessert I had apple pie ala mode. The pie was perfectly warm, super tasty and paired well with the ice cream, "of course" 4.5 stars. Our waiter had a memory like a steel trap, he got all our orders right, his attention to detail was outstanding and so was his service 5++ stars. Overall with the ambience, food and service, I solid think 3 stars is fair. I'll definitely be back to try their shakes with another Philly cheesesteak.

Best BBQ by far in the Bay!…read more Ribs.. on point Collard Greens.. on point Corn bread.. yumm (but they can be a little bigger) Mac n cheese.. great portion (could be a little more creamier) we also ordered the banana pudding, which is super yummy. We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

Each dish more beautiful and refined than the last. And the cocktail list is fabulous! We had a paper plane cocktail and it was refreshing and beautifully prepared. It comes with a tiny airplane and headline page from the day the Duke of Windsor abdicated. A very fascinating time n history. The raw tuna is served in perfect squares stacked perfectly with avocado and slight spicy sauce. Lovely and crunchy. The lobster is served in huge tender pieces with giant ravioli in a creamy almost newburg sauce. This was our favorite. We brought home a piece of lemon cheesecake served with strawberry cream. So delicious and beautiful. Our server was Mike and he was charming. The timing of everything was perfect. Thank you for the beautiful white rose. I would visit again in a heartbeat!, Highly recommend.

A local favorite that perhaps has Greek origins. We have been coming here (usually for breakfast)…read morefor over 10 years now. This time it was around noon, so my wife had the mini version of the Mexicano omelette, and I had the American burger with a grilled jalapeño on the side in addition to the french fries and avgolemono soup. My cup of soup came first and I enjoyed it. It was creamy and had chicken breast and rice in it along with a nice lemony tang. My wife enjoyed her omelette, even eating her hashbrowns, which I was surprised to see. Usually, she leaves them for me. She must've been hungry! The hamburger is a half pound of ground Angus beef before cooking and comes with lettuce and tomato and in my case cheddar cheese instead of American. That grilled jalapeño was an extra charge, but that was fine. It came on the side (as does a good dill pickle) and I took occasional bites from it to enjoy the heat On a Saturday as you might expect there was a bit of a weight but not more than 10 or 12 minutes I would say. Their own parking lot can fill quickly, but they have additional spaces available in the parking lot immediately adjacent, but be sure to follow the markings on the sign that indicate where you can park for their restaurant. Very down to earth diner with outdoor seating and a full bar Looking forward to the next time we're in the mood to stop on in!

As always, this place knows how to take care of people. Yadira was our server and she was incredible--warm, attentive, and genuinely kind in that effortless way that makes you feel like you're in good hands from the moment you sit down. The service here has always been great, but she really stood out. The Bloody Mary was perfection: bold, spicy, and exactly the kind of "reset button" I was hoping for. And the tortilla soup? Absolutely phenomenal. Rich, soothing, and deeply satisfying--one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-bite because it's just that good. I came in excited for the Monte Cristo I've loved here for years, the one I've recommended to friends like it's a sacred personal discovery. When I learned it's no longer on the menu... my heart genuinely sank. It was iconic. It was beloved. It was the thing I looked forward to. Bill's, if you're listening: please bring the Monte Cristo back. Some of us are still grieving. Even with that heartbreak, everything else--from the food to the drinks to Yadira's amazing service--reminded me why this place is such a staple. Still one of the best spots in San Jose to recover, refuel, and feel taken care of.

When we were seated, we were given a list of items that were not available. I originally wanted to try the pancakes but ended up ordering the chicken sandwich instead. This was genuinely one of the worst chicken sandwiches I have ever had. It was extremely gristly, fatty, and made with dark meat, which felt like an odd choice for a chicken sandwich. I'm not sure why this cut of chicken was used. The fries were alright, but they did not come with the sandwich and cost an additional $5. Our total came to almost $90 for three entrees with no beverages. I was especially frustrated because my sandwich was inedible. For the price and quality, I will not be returning and would not recommend this place.
