This is an outdoor shopping mall in West San Jose . It was located just across the street from Valley Fair Mall . It has two parking structures and a cinema , many elite restaurants and shops for everyone, include a car dealership! Today is Saturday May 10,2026 and there are an Arts and crafts fair going on . Many vendors and the merchandise are very cute . To my surprise, the prices are less than those in Santa Clara Arts show ( indoor building ) in another location . I took pictures for many vendors and I bought some cute items myself . They have this kind of Arts Fairs in Santana Row every month . If you miss this one , be sure to try to come to the next one ! .
Now they're charging $3 per hour for parking if you go past 2 hours, and you have to pay by scanning the QR code shown in the garage. I'm also sad LB Steak and Left Bank are gone without further notice. I should've taken one of my dates to treat me to steak before getting ghosted lol. Overall, I don't shop much since the stores are mostly made for rich middle-aged customers. I would go here to try out restaurants and desserts, even pop-up events hosted on the weekends or special occasions. The best part is the upstairs bar inside Hotel Valencia. Expect to have a lot of people walking their dogs around here. Great for date nights here.
Santana Row is so fun! Yes it may be a bit upscale, but parking is free for the first 2 hours. As a Bay Area native, this is the best place that's been built here in the past 25 years! Gorgeous flowers, nice people all around, delicious restaurants. I could go on & on about it's history but I won't. Let's just say... the trendiest shops, funnest restaurants & bars. Definitely Hollywood in the Bay Area :) have fun!!!
Santana Row reminds me Rodeo drive in Beverly hills, the same feeling but not quite as ultra luxurious or glamorous as Rodeo...but still its shic, elegant and beautiful...full of luxury shops, nice architecture, outdoor cafes/ restaurants and lively, fun atmosphere...Also, if you like fast and exotic cars this is the place!!!! Mmm cars like Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porsches, and McLarens...Its popular place to show off their luxury cars, specially in weekends..The sound if those car exhausts is music to my ears so is one of those places i enjoy to revisit...price wise for stores and restaurants, i would say its on the higher end as their great 5 stars service that suits this place but definitely they're more affordable compared to Rodeo Drive.. Parking is 2 hours free and if you plan to stay longer there is a fee so dont forget to scan barcode for parking before exit...
Stopped by Santana Row to go the Crate & Barrel. There are a variety of nice stores here and eateries. Lots of parking. The first two hours are free, which is nice. It was a beautiful day to walk around and find a place to eat lunch.
Santana Row never disappoints, but today it felt especially beautiful with all the holiday decorations. From the glowing "Greetings from Santana Row" mural to the twinkling lights wrapped around every tree, the entire street looks like a movie set. Even the quiet side walkways are pretty -- peaceful, lined with greenery, and sparkling with warm lights. I love that you can wander from boutique shopping straight into beautifully curated stores like West Elm, where the holiday trees look straight out of an interior-design magazine. I even found a marble chess set that made me stop and stare, everything here feels thoughtfully styled. And of course, I had to check out the new Oura Ring display at Best Buy. Santana Row is great for people who enjoy both aesthetics and tech, you can shop for home decor, then test sleep-tracking rings in the same afternoon. The hanging oversized ornaments, rustic doors, and European-style building facades add so much charm. Every corner here is a photo spot. It's clean, safe, walkable, and has a perfect mix of luxury shops, cozy cafés, and seasonal experiences. If you want a place that feels festive, relaxing, and stylish all at once, Santana Row is the perfect escape. Highly recommend strolling through, especially during the holidays.
Came by the other day and it was a quick and easy experience. Entrance to the parking garage is automated Parking is complimentary for the first 2 hours. Payment is done with a QR code before heading back to the car with the car's license plate. There is also a payment kiosk on the exit turnstile.
Review #010 - 2025 I used to come to Santana Row a lot more often when I was younger and driving in traffic wasn't as much of a bother. Getting older definitely changes a person's perspective on big crowds and time. I hate waiting in long lines, which I didn't really mind before. So, that's one reason I don't come to restaurants in this area, especially during major holidays since everyone else is also out here for the same reason. However, I do enjoy browsing and just grabbing a quick bite or drink when I am in the area. They always do such an awesome job on their holiday decorations and festivities so I don't mind the crowd during those times of the year!
If you enjoy really nice store is high-end shopping, Santana Row will not disappoint. There is something for everybody here, including restaurants, and in our case, a pop-up event with vendors. If we ever get to San Jose, we make sure that Santana Row is part of our visit.
It's the time of the year where the Row is all decorated for the Holidays. Business as usual with Holiday shoppers and the recent shooting across the way at Valley Fair seems to not have affected folks from coming out.
This shopping spot is beautiful.. architecture & gardens. Every square inch was thoughtfully designed as art. Ample parking, wheelchair accessible, plenty of covered parking, walkable, vibrant, great selection of shops & restaurants, easy for Uber pick up / drop off, lodging options included Negatives: very expensive - prepare to pay the minute you park; toilets are toddler sized so prepare to have your knees next to your nose if you need to sit, non-ADA compliant toilets, bathrooms are an afterthought so they are hard to navigate with service dog or wheelchair (or stroller & shopping bags), bathrooms are cleaned frequently but maybe the people using them are dirty because they don't stay clean, not enough public restrooms (only found 1) I worked at a vendor booth during the recent half marathon & the sewer gas smell was noxious. I guess I stereotyped the area, but I assumed this issue would not be the norm at a luxury shopping destination.
Moomin pop-up now! Hurry to Santana Row this week so you can check out the Moomin shop that is there until October 19! A large variety of Moomin merch and photo ops (plus special appearances by Moomin -- check times!). Don't miss the free stamp book activity! FYI It is located at the movie theater end of Santana Row, next to Loft.
A beautiful mix use retail shopping area with dining options and things to do and see all within a small area. Lots of holiday lights throughout. Very clean and serene. Lots of parking and it's easy to get to from the airport. I dropped by immediately after landing and before a football game. I'll be back again to enjoy everything else this place has to offer.
I remember in the heyday coming here when it first opened. Parking was plentiful and free. Fast forward to today and I can see why all the restaurants are crumbling and the Left Bank and the Mediterranean place folded. Parking is not intuitive. I even scanned the code. It was supposed to register my license plate when I drove off. By the way, it's three dollars the first hour and then additional three dollars extra each hour thereafter. Imagine my surprise when I was able to clock out in 40 minutes well under the one hour. I'm almost home and I get a text alert from Metropolis (the parking service) asking if I wanted to extend my parking because it expires soon? Um, no! I immediately paid the $3 and then it was supposed to scan my license plate when I left. Clearly the cameras aren't working! After fumbling around on the app/website, I got nowhere. Had to spend enormous time getting the chat person to respond and finally they were really no help at all. The online customer service rep only proceeded to gaslight me and claim that I never initiatied the parking service, which is 100% false (you can see the text confirmation I received). Eventually, I responded to the text saying I was gonna report them to the Better Business Bureau. That got their attention. Ridiculous never again I'm done with Santana Row. It's truly heartbreaking and sad, between the murders and crime and the parking nightmare I am done. RIP Santana Row. read more
Quality/Quantity - My wife (and daughter) loves this place/area. I encourage them to go without me, lol. Sorry, I have never been a fan. The #1 reason is the parking challenge. And it seems to be getting worse?!?! 63+ shops. 34+ restaurants. Ambiance - An upscale area of SJ. Well that is their goal. Fairly busy at most hours of the day, congrats. Hence the parking challenge. Events - See their website. Service - Overall good. But it also depends on what you do, eat, and drink. Price - Depends on what you do, eat, or drink. Prices are above average because it caters to the upscale. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. read more

I love everything about Santana Row! We live about 10 minutes away and visit frequently. We enjoy just walking around when the weather is beautiful, happy hour at Fogo De Chao, shopping at Sephora, Nike and more, getting my nails done at The Kitchen Bar, enjoying the festivities like the faux snow in December or the Chinese New Year celebration. There are so many delicious restaurants, bakeries and ice cream parlors to choose from. I visited Augustine's for the first time recently and I had the best gluten free brownie ever . There's even a cinema. There's free street parking or paid parking garages-first 2 hours are free. read more
If I could give zero stars, I would. The paid parking here SUCKS! We parked in the parking garage near CineArts and paid via the qr code before exiting. We walked down a flight of stairs, immediately got into our car and proceeded to exit but the gate would not open. It said we owed $10 more dollars!!! WTH...it's different if it said I owed $14 and paid it, but it only said $4. Then as I am exiting it says I still owe $10. read more
A beautiful selection of women's holiday party and travel clothes. The stylists know how to dress you and answer any of your questions on what goes with what will flatter your body type Very helpful. Nice accessories too. read more

Wow it's really beautiful here in Santana row, really romantic and good vibes, everything here is a little bit pricey but if you need somewhere to just walk around and get an ice cream it could be a good time. Family friendly, everyone had their dogs out. We only stopped at one restaurant and the service was great. We sat outside and people watched. A little on the warm side so come in the evening when all the pretty lights are on. read more
I don't know how to describe this other than it's like a smaller, more crowded worse version of Downtown Pasadena or more closely, the Americana. There are much higher scale and fancier restaurants and shops here. However there are still some familiar brands such as Best Buy and Starbucks (of course). Honestly, the only store I have any marginal interest is, is Maido, but since there are others in Bay Area and many of them have fused with the larger Kinokuniya, it's not that overly important that I go to the one here. I do like the chameleons they have in the "grassy outdoor seating area". read more
One of my favorite spots in San Jose , perfect for a chill day out! This is where Silicon Valley gets to sparkle!!! I don't know what it is about Santana Row, but every time I go, it feels like a mini getaway. Whether you're out with friends, doing some solo shopping, or just hanging with family, the vibe is always fun and relaxed. You've got great shops (some fancy, some super casual), restaurants for literally every craving, and the whole area is just really well done , clean, pretty, lots of outdoor seating, and really lively without being chaotic. Not the typically value shopping it's all lux so expect pricey. On our last visit, we grabbed tacos at El Jardin, walked around with ice cream from Smitten, and people-watched by the fountain while the kids ran around. You'll hear live music sometimes, or catch a farmers' market or pop-up event , always something going on. Also, it's super kid-friendly but still has a grown-up feel. Perfect for a date night or an afternoon with the fam. Parking's easy (garage or valet), and everything's walkable. Great service. Honestly, it's one of those places that just makes you feel good being there. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near San Jose. read more

An upscale outdoor entertainment and shopping oasis that features various residences, hotels, shops, bars, eateries, personal care services, live music, weekly and seasonal events, a movie theater, and more... there's plenty to keep you busy at Santana Row. Businesses here have come and gone over the years, but there are always enough options to fit diverse needs and preferences. Restaurants are more on the fancy side, but they do have more casual eateries like Ike's Love & Sandwiches, and this past weekend I got to enjoy some good eats at Urban Plates as well as delicious sweet treats from the Smitten Ice Cream stand. My recommendations for some of the best spots at SR are Zazil Cocina Mexicana, super delicious mexican cuisine in an inviting setting, Vbar rooftop bar at Hotel Valencia, absolutely gorgeous indoor and outdoor space for enjoying cocktails and good company, and Vintage Wine Bar, nice laid back ambience and awesome array of menu options. Also love the Container Store (yup, it has more cool items than you'd think), the carefree vibe when enjoying outdoor brunch with live music, special events throughout the year (usually posted on their website), and the movie theater updated and conveniently located for catching a flick before or after doing a little shopping or drinking on the row. Fancy and expensive apartment living is available too, yes I've toured the homes, and I do like the wine coolers on top level units, but not the leasing office management lacking in communication skills. SR currently has snow showers on Tuesdays and Saturday evenings in December, every 30 minutes 6-8pm in Park Valencia, along with Christmas music in different parts of the plaza, nothing too amazing but still a fun little feature and enough to put you in the holiday spirit. Overall, a clean and classy environment, decorated beautifully during the holidays with endless string lights that enliven the atmosphere and captivate crowds. Free parking available in several different garages on site add to the convenience. Despite not being the most exciting destination, Santana Row still has a lot of positives and is probably one of the best places in SJ to take friends and family visiting from out of town. read more

Been living here 2 years and these residents have no respect for late hours. making noise almost every Friday and Saturday, drinking and partying. yet they raised rent here and security still can't tell them to go inside and cut out all the unnecessary noise. pretty much a shit hole now with a bunch of ghetto people with no class or respect for other residents. Typical Bay Area in California. read more
