    Biryani
    Mikayla M.

    Great quality food and great service. The biryani got too spicy for me even at mild so they don't mess around here. The dosas, samosas, mango chicken curry, and masala fries were all great. Lots of seating inside so it's a great spot to stop in and eat at if you are walking around the area.

    The food was great the service was phenomenal! If you're in down town San Jose I recommend this spot! Had the chicken tika masala and the gobi machurion! Also try the lassi

    The photo itself tells everything I believe. Do not recommend to anyone

    I ordered haka noodles and the taste was super bad it tasted stale and the carrots in it felt like it was the peels which you throw it away before eating. Very disappointing and I have to throw away all that I paid for . I talked to the owner he said he can replace it with something else but honestly the food smells bad I don't even want the replacement for it . Pls do not go if you want to get sick . And who puts cilantro and curry leaves in haka noodles really. Very badly made the whole food looks as if made of leftover peels from all the veggies.

The service is excellent and the food was flavorful, hot, fresh... the diner is decorated so cute. It's a 50's theme with 50's music playing and all the decor to match. I'll be back for sure. Delicious and fun.

    BREAKFAST STEAK AND LUNCH BURGER…read more I ate at City Diner twice. The first time was in April before going to the San Jose Fair Downs to bet on horse races. Before going to bet on horseracing I like to order steak for brunch. I ordered New York steak asking the steak to be cooked medium rare. After several bites I noticed the steak was cooked medium. Maybe it's superstition, but if I do not enjoy my steak I tend to lose at the racetracks. That's what happened at City Diner since the steak wasn't cooked to my preference as I lost money at the San Jose Fair Downs that day. I wasn't planning to come back to City Diner soon however i noticed one of the items listed on the burger section of the menu was corned beef burger. I've eaten pastrami burger before, but not corned beef burger. Also I love corned beef. I came back last Saturday for the corned beef burger. For $3 more instead of fries I requested onion rights. There is an abundance of milkshakes at City Diner. I asked my server and he recommended the "Groom", which is a mocha malt as it is his favorite. The "Groom" wasn't too sweet so I was able to finish it. The corned beef burger included slices of bacon. I was worried that the bacon would mask the taste of the corned beef as both bacon and corned beef are cured. I was correct as I couldn't taste the corned beef due to the bacon. Overall I'm glad I came here to eat for lunch however I do not see myself coming to City Diner anytime soon.

I usually get the South of the Border omelette with extra-crispy hash browns, and for my griddle item, I always choose the waffle. Make sure to ask for the hash browns extra crispy--that is a game changer! The waffle is crispy on the outside but pleasantly chewy. My friends especially love getting the huevos rancheros. They also have really good seasonal flavors, which I think is a fun reason to come back throughout the year. Right now, for fall, if you love pumpkin spice, they have a pumpkin spice pancake that my friend tried and said was amazing. The restaurant has a classic diner feel when you first walk in, but you can also eat outside when the weather is nice. The outdoor area is shaded, and you'll often see people sitting with their pets--especially dogs--enjoying the weather and their food. The waiters are always very kind and quick to help, whether you have questions or need something extra like butter. They seem very accustomed to the busy environment, so the service is generally quick and efficient. One tip: come a little early if you want to avoid the crowds. If you come without a reservation through Yelp or another platform, just be prepared to wait a bit. There are hosts and hostesses outside helping manage the customers, so be patient and kind to them--they're doing their best to keep everything moving!

Had to chase down our waitress, Monique. Had to get up and find her. Watched her finish socializing before we could get her attention for refills. Then her and her friend started tending to their tables again sporadically between conversation. Great spot to eat, if you have plenty of time.

We were seated quickly which was nice, but overall the experience was diminished by the stressed out bartender. Definitely needs to take a deep breath and lock in or find another line of work. His choice of body language when interacting with his own coworkers when trying to communicate was disrespectful in and of itself, rolling his eyes and giving passive aggressive remarks, almost resemblant of teenage angst which you wouldn't expect coming from a grown man. At some point when receiving a ticket he dramatically threw it on the counter to help everyone at the bar side know how frustrated or overwhelmed he was. Seeing this as a customer discourages me to make requests, as it almost feels like our presence is an inconvenience to our bartender/server. The customer service experience here was terrible and my biggest recommendation to this establishment is to hire people who are willing to provide a comfortable experience to customers, as opposed to individuals who will throw man-fits for working at 11 AM.

There weren't that many people side and it was a nice evening so we opted for outside. They are located on a busy corner, so you do hear a lot of the traffic, but it wasn't terrible. The service was on point as well. Very nice servers and hosts. We started with the Ceviche, Crudo, and Watermelon Beet Salad all of which were fresh and deliciously prepared. We washed it down with cocktails: Scarlet Letter (spicy margarita) and their signature Old Fashioned--both refreshing. My wife ordered the Pole Bowl she loved it. I had a bite and realized I should've ordered it as well since she didn't want to share more. I wasn't mad at her. I had the Bucatini. It was light and refreshing. I'm not a fan of anchovies but they were lightly used and it had a solid flavor. We finished with their dark/white chocolate cake which was good even though I'm not a fan of white chocolate. Everything was great. I've bookmarked this for when we visit San Jose again.

When they first opened, the food was amazing and the portions felt generous. More recently, the portions seem to have gotten noticeably smaller while the prices have continued to go up. The food is still fine, but for what you're paying, I expect it to be better. I really want to love The Table because the atmosphere and location are great, but the food and value just aren't what they used to be. Hopefully they can get back to the quality and portions they had when they first opened.
