- EEmanuelSan Francisco Bay Area •3 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoTri-tip is a bit tough. There is a fine line between grilled and burnt shrimp and they seem to cross over to the latter more often than not. Service and ambience is great though.More infoSauced BBQ & Spirits - Santana RowPrice: Moderate• Barbecue• San Jose•3.8

It was our first time visiting this restaurant and it was a very, very pleasant experience. We ordered the beef rib and it was very very tender. Excellent dinner excellent service. Looking forward to coming back with our family. We also had dessert I ordered the chocolate molten cake. It was served with a few raspberries and blackberries perfect balance for the cake. Overall great experience we will be returning soon.More infoDry Creek GrillPrice: Expensive• American• San Jose•4.6

- SstarlaSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined on Feb 2, 2025We had reservations for 3 at 4:45 on a Saturday. We realized at 3:45 we would likely run late, we changed our reservation on the app to 5:15. When we arrived at 5, they had our reservation and we were seated right away. The service was good and timely. There was a bit of a wait for our check, but there was a QR code at the table to pay, so we just checked out that way with no issues.More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - San Jose MarketcenterPrice: Moderate• American• San Jose•4.4
